pete_dushenski: specifically, that the nsa doesn't leave ~everyone alone as
a matter of practical necessity ?
assbot: Revelation 13:16 It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive
a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, ... (

PeterL: asciilifeform re:quiet computer, have you considered having big computer in basement, using
a chrombox-like thing as
a silent terminal?
PeterL: In Mich if you are on
a primary ballot, you cannot be listed as an independent or other party for the general, I had to write in Gary Johnson in 2012
mircea_popescu: thailand is
a pretty interesting case - back in the 90s it seemed very well positioned to become
a tech superpower. then... fizzled, somehow. korea won.
PeterL: mircea_popescu re:map of birthrates, any explanation for why thailand is so low? the other low places are japan and europe, which have been developed for
a while, thailand seems an outlier
mircea_popescu: that poor woman, she's done no film without
a rape scene in it. if there ever was an actor that actually answered to the higher call of the profession, it's probably her. and yet people will readily ignore the point and focus on anything and everything, "hey, random stupid broad with nothing to say wants us to buy detergent!"
mircea_popescu: because yes, romania poland et all did have
a sort-of, "i made you an' ima kill you, now go learn that fucking multiplication table". again, until "aquis"
mircea_popescu: well, it cares, because that 500mn europe has
a 1.x children per woman, and 90% of them are made with idiots, and the 5mn are... also idiots. once you start looking at the actual demographic breakdown, it couldn't really take 50k of the derps.
mircea_popescu: demographically it's rather lulzy, tho. take europe : it went through three to twelve generations of this negative selection, 0 reproduction from higher value individuals, depending how you count the generations. and, woe of woes : BEFORE, the better tatars came raiding, and raped. so it fixed things, for
a century or two.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform money, my dear alf, is by and large
a crutch. if you need money to make friends the problem's not the money.
mircea_popescu: this may be
a crippling impediment in children, but it is not in adults. i had
a girl like that, she was ordered to pick up girls in the street every day. and she did. and it went away.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is unsanitary. "live in most of the world" is CERTAINLY
a step in making mps.
mircea_popescu: personal authority, it's
a thing. you were there, you saw it, as long as you're willing to swear to it, that'\s what it is.
mircea_popescu: care to make
a brief qntra ? it's lulzy enough i think

a rare thing in europe with price factor of ~5
cazalla: well chopping one down doesn't preclude you from planting
a few more
cazalla: how about

mircea_popescu: most whores alive today, as wel las historically, do punch clock, and also live in
a fucking office.

a motherfucking clock << you're kidding, right ?
mircea_popescu: about half what
a whore makes, if she's serious about it.
phf: i don't actually have any reason to stay in dc long term, maybe another few months to
a year
mircea_popescu: " Where
a man can hide and never be found and have no fear of the bayin' hounds. But he better keep movin' and don't stand still. If the 'skeeters don't get then the 'gaters will"

assbot: Logged on 11-03-2016 03:04:46; *: kakobrekla curious if asciilifeform ever makes
a compromise for the sake of his pet

☟︎ mircea_popescu: Pedalavo come se fuggissi, e in realta fuggivo, da lei, da quelle emozioni, da i sogni, da i ricordi, da tutto. E pensavo che dovevo dimenticare. Ero certo che sarei riuscito
a dimenticare. Ma oggi che sono vecchio, che ho consumato banalmente la vita, talchè ho conosciuto tante donne che m'hanno detto "ricordati di me" e io le ho scordate tutte, ancora oggi lei, l'unica che non ho mai dimenticato... Sutakora Sassa!
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 11-03-2016 01:45:30; kakobrekla: yes, mine is isolated too and yet it still pops when i tested it. (yes have

kakobrekla: nubbins` i havent had
a record player connected to my setup for years also
nubbins`: kakobrekla if you want to hear modern all-analog path, check out
a record by Shellac of North America
nubbins`: old records are best, esp. if you have
a spin-clean or similar
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> kakobrekla: as far as im concerned if it had ONE moving part, it is rubbish. << Aha, this goes to the power tool dilemma where unless paying out the ass everything is made by TTI in china and it is
a competition between which TTI reseller do you trust most to preserve their battery platform. Not directly connected to this utterance of yours, but for some reason this is the one brian in the head clicked the thread t
nubbins`: same, maybe buy
a half dozen per year
kakobrekla: i have some records but not
a collector
