mircea_popescu: ecked me, kicked the hell out of my head (concussion and bleeding). I was very lucky. "
mircea_popescu: "I recently moved to the Pacific Northwest from Baltimore. What partly impelled the move was being beaten up by a black guy who I had grappled with and held down after he was chasing his girlfriend with a baseball bat. His GF and another woman went nuts, beating me as he and I grappled on the ground with me holding the bat with both arms. To shut them up, I stupidly rolled the bat away and let him get up. He promptly d
asciilifeform: jurov: i think this would violate his monastic oath or at least give him indigestion

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-01-2016#1383219 <<< i wouldn't buy a thing with "SawStop (tm)" and i certainly don't want to HAVE to. ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: reading the log i posted as his rating was not enough ?
assbot: Logged on 23-01-2016 18:26:38; ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu may have his reasons for being so friendly and welcoming but bearing a deep suspicion of new faces in #b-a has saved me untold heartbreak (and no doubt riches, if i were to listen to robert viragh's ilk)
BingoBoingo: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-01-2016#1382941 << I have no recollection of what it was that flipped that paranoia switches when he was PM'ing me drunk, sober reading the logs unrevealing, but I am now very glad that breaker flipped. ☝︎
assbot: Logged on 23-01-2016 17:52:11; mircea_popescu: re BingoBoingo 's https://voat.co/v/fatpeoplehate/comments/808993/4006420 << check out the ugly head of puritanism rearing its head yet again. "if i don't enjoy anything in the world i will surely be spared doom!!1". nothing's quite as resilient as idiocy.
mats: most people i've run into have been trained to exclusively use semi auto
asciilifeform: i found it a puzzling thing, esp. given as nato world uses professional soldiers rather than orcish conscripts, the latter presumably cannot be trained to let go of the trigger
asciilifeform: mats: i was asking about the 3-round limit
ben_vulpes: in any event i'm long out of that line of work, and for good reason.
ben_vulpes: shinohai: i'd rather lose a blade than a finger.
mats: i learned today that the 82nd recently retrofitted their M4s to full auto ☟︎
shinohai: I think I saw this. Said guard does destroy the blade in the process.
punkman: I bet it is
ben_vulpes: on the flip side i do *not* store raw digital photos.
ben_vulpes: yes, i store the negatives, wtf with this printed photo nonsense.
ben_vulpes: iphoto i'm sure will eventually fall to quest of removing toilets from places they should not be
ben_vulpes: i discovered my photo booth archives from freshman year ☟︎
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: i imagine you don't use iphoto
asciilifeform: perhaps because i did not use the old sack'o'garbage ?
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-01-2016#1383171 << i did not notice this ☝︎
ben_vulpes: huh shoulda fixed the date on that wotpost while i was at it
thestringpuller: when I'm no longer a USian slave I do plan to find out ;)
thestringpuller: aha. I really should just learn to _actually_ cook. But I don't even know what foods I like.
mircea_popescu: i suppose ~half the marriages in the world today happen about like that.
thestringpuller: I should learn to cook. But I'm an extremely fickle eater.
thestringpuller: For me I just have my own menu and tell chef "fix X here is money to go buy groceries. Don't get the cheap stuff."
mircea_popescu: "you wanna cook for me, pick ingredients from over here" is the main driver, i expect.
mircea_popescu: i imagine a larger driver is that a) "restaurants" saw the "opportunity" to turn into caterers and "prepare" pre-prepared meals and b) nobody trusts their fucking acquisition process.
thestringpuller: or at least in whites-ville suburbia where I live
ben_vulpes: "no, honey, we're not going out. you cook better, plate better, and do it all in the nude. i am not paying for designer lights, too much salt, and shitty hipster wait staff drinking habits. plus you'll want to tip 20% for completely miserable service and i just got my shoes off."
thestringpuller: waiters are generally shitty at their job too, cause "I'll be an actress one day!"
mircea_popescu: spare me, i don't believe in hiring your shitty workers on my dime. i'll take a slavegirl with, and she can wait on me. your inept "staff" can go hang, how abvout that ?
mircea_popescu: and meanwhile, when i visited the us people generally tipped 10% and derps were derping about how it's really not enough and should be more like 15%. incidentally looked on reddit the other day, "Everyone agrees" it should be over 20%.
ben_vulpes: my parents bought their current residence in...94? for 230k, are now batting away offers for 900+. i relent on the rounding error.
ben_vulpes: i'm not trying to argue against the property bezzle!
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: so at what point in this supposed cycle can i walk in and buy a livable HOUSE for 20k?
mircea_popescu: i get it, if you're visiting the 3 floor, 100k sqft country house of the marquis de Q you might not be fucking EVERYONE there.
mircea_popescu: if i end up buying it i'm so tearing down that shit...
ben_vulpes: on the flip side i have a far better understanding of how linux machines boot now. so, not a particularly horrendous waste of time.
mircea_popescu: speaking of insane idiocies. one apt i'm leasing i nthe fabulous ba has the following INSANE arrangement : two bedrooms, united by a 3x3 hallway, off one side of which is a 3x4 bathroom, and off the corner of which is... ANOTHER, tiny, 1x2 bathroom.
mircea_popescu: "i one day stumbled on this irc channel, and it changed my life. #totallynotacult."
ben_vulpes: look here i only recently decided to move the toilet out of the kitchen okay
ben_vulpes: i got the whole orchestra wired up, stage3 installed, everything mounted, uefi boot boss vanquished
mircea_popescu: i think we might also do it again!
ben_vulpes: i swear we've done this thread
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i thought it was traditionally 'cunt with the rifling worn off'
ben_vulpes: i'm sure you can find cooze wherever
mircea_popescu: i dun think so.\
ben_vulpes: and fwiw i'd rather ride a horse too.
asciilifeform: i would happily commute on horse.
mircea_popescu: nor do i see why i would.
mircea_popescu: i never lived anywhere that wouldn't have just splattered the derp.
asciilifeform: as a driver, i always despised the self-righteous pedaller who was convinced that he 'saved mother earth'
adlai: thestringpuller: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com//?date=15-01-2016#1370925 (althoug i am not an exception to http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-01-2016#1382985 ) ☝︎☝︎
thestringpuller: i'd rather just not sit in traffic and get more fat, that is one step above purgatory.
asciilifeform: thestringpuller: i've nothing against it per se but it is firmly linked in my head with the third world
asciilifeform: i can only picture a sordid 1890s shanghai
adlai: thestringpuller: how about i just hand you http://l1sp.org and you never feel lost again
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: for my own benefit what do i understand about bike advocacy?
thestringpuller: adlai: I'm already lost. I'm super n00b when it comes to master's tools.
ben_vulpes: i mean traffic calming is good for children!
mircea_popescu: interestingly enough, senor vulpes understands quite exactly what i don't like about the subculture.
assbot: Logged on 23-01-2016 18:03:25; thestringpuller: i barely "know" C, how am I ever gonna learn LISP?!?!?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu may have his reasons for being so friendly and welcoming but bearing a deep suspicion of new faces in #b-a has saved me untold heartbreak (and no doubt riches, if i were to listen to robert viragh's ilk) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i just read it as "the difference between one's understanding and the course requirement, call it D, is the maximal aperture past which useful metaphors (with an utility marked as U) and inept strawmen (with a deviance marked as -U) can still be distinguished"
ben_vulpes: i mean poor Azelphur
asciilifeform: i was not able to decipher this
mircea_popescu: the one thing i wonder, asciilifeform , is why do we always talk in strawmen.
asciilifeform: and even there folks chortled when i asked 'notice no mention of complexity class proof or even assumption'
mircea_popescu: it's another... eh, anyway. what am i doing.
asciilifeform: i really pictured more of a cray.
mircea_popescu: but i suspect this heavy... butted aesop is a little too hamfisted for the actual butts in question.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unrelatedly, i now envision your toilet-of-the-future as looking rather like a cray-II.
thestringpuller: I want to be competent/sane before attempting to pick up master carpenter's tools.
thestringpuller: i barely "know" C, how am I ever gonna learn LISP?!?!? ☟︎
asciilifeform: so perhaps i can now admit to having this quietly on my hdd.
mircea_popescu: anyway. it's one thing to add "a library". it's another to "import this 1k lines that i read myself".

mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-01-2016#1382818 << i think this is so. ☝︎
