mircea_popescu: mebbe i didn'
t pay enough attention, but it seems diff classes of things
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, there comes in my suggestion for a concussive implement like a captive bolt device followed by exsanguination. I don'
t think it is just for the state to do these things unless it is bloody.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo inasmuch as the brain itself can'
t feel pain, sectioning of the spinal chord is pretty much it. hence the guillotine and such. probably the best solution there is, but derps don'
t like it because it's bloody
mircea_popescu: you know, the self-perpetuating compiler thing still hasn'
t been shown in the wild
diametric: KRS1: because if you didn'
t its still not safe.
KRS1: I sometimes like to refer to the term "feature creep"..can'
t tell you how many times good devices or software were turned into shat by trying to make it better.
BingoBoingo: KRS1: I tried getting whole DVD rips in the namecoin blockchain, but those blocks wouldn'
t propagate and if they did Elegius and the other big pools ignored their having been mined.
BingoBoingo: mike_c: Basically every cell that does something visible on the macro scale (neurons and muscle cells) utilizes action potentials. Responding
t sound means there are a lot of surviving neurons and muscle cells in communication... At least for a while.

t really know if you are the killer or not

t understand the choice of the drugs, it seems there are better pentobarbital replacements; less "efficient" but you can work around that
BingoBoingo: School Janitors i imagine don'
t like cleaning up vomit, but it happens.
BingoBoingo: The problem with exsanguination though is the state doesn'
t like looking like it commits violence anymore.
pankkake: "because of the unavailability of Pentobarbital" clearly those guys haven'
t heard of black markets!
Duffer1: if a state's going to kill someone shouldn'
t there be a shoot him in the head backup plan for fuckups like this
KRS1: I wasn'
t being upset about being called a nerd yesterday. I think mircea was
Apocalyptic: I've heard in some case in US you can'
t just say blind anymore, you have to stay visually challenged now
KRS1: I'm not very polically correct. I might have to work on that this year too, but then again it doesn'
t bother me. Retards are known as mentally handicapped these days.
KRS1: Thats very impressive to say the least. I've recently been involved in a conversation of the value of a college degree in the modern I.
T. job market. I've actually been laughed at for thinking it has value in these waters. I suppose, even if I did waste my time with a degree in this field, being open minded and thinking critically are benefits that have value regardless. Such as the
mircea_popescu: you don'
t want the stupid poor focused on important stuff.
KRS1: Its a good thing they don'
t charge for this anymore, I was starting to wonder if I really need this software.

t update your system every single week an update will fuck you
mircea_popescu: i certainly can'
t see how anyone'd accept to run his business in france.

t.
mircea_popescu: derp. some retarded 20something that can'
t hold anyone occupied for five minutes is in no sense of the word a "babe".
mircea_popescu: in short, it takes skill, skill which random muppets in the freakshow do not have. big whoop. don'
t blame the hammer for the bumps on your head.
mircea_popescu: and you don'
t use them to "sell", you use them to project an image.
mircea_popescu: yes well, you can'
t go to the car race in a box with wheels glued on and then decide "cars are stupid"
pankkake: the "babes" posts of shows are pretty sad, as most of the girls aren'
t very attractive. or dressed like shit
pankkake: in France we have "Abus de bien social" - I didn'
t find any translation for this (at least legal terms)
Duffer1: it would be nice if the first colored coin experiment company wasn'
t a scam
pankkake: when in fiat land "CEOs" of startup don'
t pay themselves for years
pankkake: I don'
t know why it obsesses me either
Duffer1: i don'
t know why i even read that thread, it's just as stressful to me as the labcoin nonsense and i don'
t even own any actm
Duffer1: i don'
t see how actm can be successful even if they turn out to be legit
mircea_popescu: pankkake wait, you're from the magical land of the minitel aren'
t you
mircea_popescu: pankkake what, the bbss ?! those weren'
t free, foo. urmom was payin' for it.
mircea_popescu: this works sort-of well, until you end up with things like... i dunno, every show on tv being a honeypot by this approach, as well as every newspaper and most of everything else, cause they damn sure don'
t work for the advertised/intended purposes.
pankkake: I don'
t really care about the intentions behind it, but it cannot achieve its stated goal
pankkake: I don'
t understand why they would go for Android either
jurov: yeah, good she didn'
t manage to knot them eyes
pankkake: I wouldn'
t list that on the worst ways to die
mircea_popescu: millenials is how women that don'
t fuck tender reffer to the chicks which are just about ripe.

t really work for forbes, or have anything worth saying

t mention tulips
gribble: davout was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 day, 20 hours, 39 minutes, and 59 seconds ago: <davout> isn'
t he chair of the foundation or sthg?
Neil: Quite surprised there haven'
t been a few BTC on No recently on the 2bn diff bet
ArsKisS: seedcoin didn'
t crash more than 10%
TomServo: Yeah, that would be tough. Been a looong time since I used irssi/bitchx so it wasn'
t too bad for me.
pankkake: red. the script doesn'
t have many colors, and worse, sometimes nicks of the same lenght get the same color…
jurov: perchance, isn'
t there a company with ticker like BTC or MPEX ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, i dun see the big deal. if this wasn;'
t a problem we wouldn'
t need trademarks
the20year: it also doesn'
t include the fact that we haven'
t utilized 20% remaining capital in our account due to it being insufficient to buy more properties.
the20year: And even though many of the assets 'weren'
t in fiat' they seemed to suffer a good deal from fiat's decline in value relative to BTC
mike_c: yes, stocks that aren'
t tied to a fiat income stream.
mike_c: because i don'
t think your roi will be better than just holding btc

the20year: Don'
t know if any rentalstarter investors are in here but i'm sending payment in 30m
mike_c: i didn'
t want to force it though. start arbitrarily applying divs to certain months. because like, what about when a div is paid wrong? do I "fix" it? it does need to be more clear.
mircea_popescu: and for that matter, calling things you don'
t like to hear opinions doesn'
t much change the reality of them.
mircea_popescu: there's the truthfulness defense. something's not an insult just because you don'
t like hearing it.
mircea_popescu: it does also save you from making a fool of yourself thinking hemingway invented donne, but that's i suppose a minor point, especially if you are careful to live among people who won'
t laugh to your face for it.
mircea_popescu: didn'
t you just call the guy a nerd for not being as stupid as you'd like people to be generally ?
nubbins`: thanks, almost at the end of my rope, but i can'
t let my poor mother use windows 8
nubbins`: i don'
t even get this far unless i add "nomodeset" to startup params. without that, the screen just turns off after a point

t turn up much.
nubbins`: yeah, tried 12.04 as well, didn'
t have much luck there either

t work out well for germany

t want to use.
