mircea_popescu: i can believe mensa, or the corner shop, were'nt repulsive horrors in 1980. what's that do.
mircea_popescu: still, any knowledge about 1980s us org is ~worthless today.
asciilifeform: iirc he was also not quite the usual monogamist, went with gurl to fuck parties etc
asciilifeform: by that time he had been posting for ~decade already.
mircea_popescu: so we're discussing events older than 25 years ?
mircea_popescu: he evidently had long term same-partner at time of nostril hair counting.
asciilifeform: iirc he only turned into monogamist when old
mircea_popescu: oh, asciilifeform, i thought the dude was long term monogamous anyway, what source of fuckables ?
mircea_popescu: bdsm is of interest to 99.9x% of females and maybe 1/3 of males.
mircea_popescu: ok, but that's technological, at least greenspun's chiclid observation applies.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes http://logs.bvulpes.com/chainstate?d=2018-3-15#314839 << remarkably, the subsequent half dozen were not measurably delayed.
mircea_popescu: which is this ?
mircea_popescu: that guy kicked all ass, though.
mircea_popescu: you know, in my entire life (which includes more naked females idling about than most, i'd bet) i met ONE SINGLE case of 90yo who wanted to fuck anyone.
asciilifeform: he brewed beer. they -- drank it.
trinque: same dynamic? they wanted to fuck him?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suspect it's a throne that's ben sat on for the sitting long enough.
mircea_popescu: then again, i personally went to boston area bdsm munch. WITH chet. it consisted of a dozen dorks in a food court, trying to not step over each other while courting the single solitary young female, which was neither hot nor even remotely interesting.
asciilifeform: the other nitpick, as i understand 'mensa' was (is?) moar of an opium den, place where folx would sit around playing games, than a political action thing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i visited a few of them. encountered no quality fuckables, in fact, encountered a rehash of organizatia poetilor din judetul caras-severin.
mircea_popescu: look like we had it" "yes but no groups support us" "yes but if we created the groups around the support, then we'd have them" "yes but they'd be irrelevant" "but we'd claim nothing else exist" "hey, this is psychotic enough to work!!!")
mircea_popescu: (which, incidentally, is why socialism is dream-like, ie what happens when mind goes to sleep. they very much http://trilema.com/2018/lets-read-together-uncle-al-schwartz-hexadecimal-dependency/#footnote_1_78266 : "we have no legitimacy and no possibility of ever being legitimate" "but if we were based on a representative mandate we'd have such possibility" "yes but we don't have it" "but if we claimed groups support us it'd
asciilifeform: according to al, 'mensa' was actually entertaining, and iirc even a reliable source of quality fuckables. but asciilifeform has no direct knowledge of subj, 'за что купил за то продаю' etc.
a111: Logged on 2015-06-25 07:05 mircea_popescu: "Our Solutions Leadership About Us Careers News Contact" who the fuck thought this is how you do it ? it's almost like the soviet butcher, "we're the advertising shop, we don't have publishers. fish is what they don't have in the shop down the street"
mircea_popescu: "this is where the women that'll say the same thing go, this is where 9 year olds that'll say the same thing go, this is where 12 yo girls that are redheads, virgins and shave their pubis but will nevertheless say the same thing go..." it's astroturfed diversity for the purpose of giving some semblance of meaning to engineered unanimity.
asciilifeform: how else. fish only needs hook while in the sea, and no longer needs when in packing plant or in the shop.
mircea_popescu: the socialist chumpatron is only flavoured ~AT THE INTAKE HOPPER~.
mircea_popescu: just like "women's association" had oppinion on whatever ceausescu speech of the day.
asciilifeform: it's the californirasty, not the (afaik quite heterogeneous) socialclubs.
mircea_popescu: https://www.ocregister.com/2012/09/02/high-iq-society-mensa-uses-hands-on-game-to-show-wealth-disparities/ << in other lulz. turns out that in pantsuit socialism, the smart pioneers are a sub to the mass pioneer's organisation.
mircea_popescu: yes, entirely unrelated ; maybe something in the vein of gl's point ("the suffix "Uncle", which is given to OC mensa members who've survived trying situations") or else you know, just tryna piggy on it.
mircea_popescu: oh, wave ? they believe in deleting history periodically. pantsuits neh
asciilifeform: trinque: afaik unrelated to the al who is subj of thread
mircea_popescu: the server is managed by some "reputed genius" that's plain idiotic.
mircea_popescu: i guess i'm not even right re management. "Coercive culture-crushing Christian missionaries squawking mainline and fringe persuasions endowed Koreans with a Western legacy of greed, plunder, political larceny, and Official truth." etc.
a111: Logged on 2014-01-16 01:13 unclehowell: Hey everyone. I wanted to introduce my tech startup. It's called Wave. We're planning to make internet access free using a new generation of ads-for-access. The best part is, we're doing our entire Series A investment round with Bitcoin: http://wavetele.com/layout/Pages/shares-area/beneficiaries.html
mircea_popescu: from the search : http://btcbase.org/log/2014-01-16#446641 ☝︎
asciilifeform: iirc he actually showed, for ten seconds or so.
mircea_popescu: iirc we tried to get him to show up years ago, but it didn't take
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform right. i don't hold it against him any. but has to be said.
mod6: now (there are links to me doing so in #pizarro) I have locked the modes to +cnt for now.
mod6: so when I lost my connection yesterday or the day before, i had to recover the channel, which reset the original modes.
mod6: forgot to lock the modes.
mod6: it seems that it was somehow turned on by default when i registered the channel -- and had removed the -m by hand.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: d00d spent his entire working life in the midst of usa's deindustrialization autolysis. where was he to ever see, hear, smell, example of goodmanager.
mircea_popescu: (other than the usenet nonsense, and quite amusingly to me, al is MOST wrong on the topic of... management!)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: until today i did not even notice that it had +m...
a111: Logged on 2018-03-15 15:22 ben_vulpes: mod6: can ya fix voice in #pizarro? asciilifeform reports cannot send to channel
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-15#1787895 << why dja even have voice there ? notforcustomers ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: mod6 that was quick eh!
mircea_popescu: his contributions on usenet suffer very much from the naggum problem (he's plain idiotic plenty of places, apparently interacting with idiots corrups HIM rather than corrupting them into being less idiotic) ; but such annoyances aside i don't know anyone coming around being so right since tlp.
diana_coman: mod6, thanks for the super-speedy check!
mod6: diana_coman: seems to verify and press fine; http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/wwhPv/?raw=true

a111: Logged on 2018-03-15 06:44 ben_vulpes: was the thrust of your comment that the net change column should see a value of 11? decimals aside i don't understand what you were driving at with that comment.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-03-15#1787885 << no, that's just the b.6 portion. (and i don't like this "main thrust" device in general, it's one thing to try and get all the angles, but it's folly to try and select "the main one".) ☝︎
trinque: lobbes: nothing could be cheaper today or more expensive tomorrow
lobbes: Aha. ty asciilifeform!
lobbes: I'm tempted to mirror and index everything I can find on mazepath.com before it is swallowed by the null ocean ☟︎
lobbes: "Contrary to medical opinion, a patent absolutely sloshed on morphine and diazepine tranquilizers can indeed work up sufficient rage to vociferously complain, bellow actually, about the sound and feeling of cancellous bone being crushed inside his skull as a bored nurse thrashes a lead-weighted truncheon about the insides his sinuses. She knew there was an exit to my throat back there somewhere, it was in the anatomy books. If she could not find it
lobbes: mircea_popescu: relatedly, last night I came across gabriel_laddel's links on trilema and found myself quickly engulfed in uncle al's burn saga (my first time reading it). That guy is fucking good indeed.
ben_vulpes: mod6: can ya fix voice in #pizarro? asciilifeform reports cannot send to channel ☟︎
jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !~later tell ben_vulpes your conf is http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/EiCDX/?raw=true ; you will prolly want to change CONFIG_LOCALVERSION to something of your own. aside from that -- is good to go.
jhvh1: asciilifeform: The operation succeeded.
asciilifeform: !~later tell ben_vulpes i am getting 'cannot sent to channel' eggog in #pizarro
ben_vulpes: was the thrust of your comment that the net change column should see a value of 11? decimals aside i don't understand what you were driving at with that comment. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: and i've quite enjoyed reading al schwartz. in peristaltic news, wikipedia thinks there's a dozen al schwartzes out there, NONE of which this one, and none of which worth any kind of mention.
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, NFC7AZcrane (~sezhzn@node-gce.pool-101-51.dynamic.totbb.net) just spammed #eulora, but not tried to connect here. apparently teh voice model discourages irc spammers that much.
mircea_popescu: tis your job to get the decimal points.
mircea_popescu: note that when i jot down comments i approximate numbers.
ben_vulpes: (in reference to the february pizarro statement and comment http://pizarroisp.net/index.php/2018/02/pizarro-statement-february-2018/comment-page-1/#comment-24 )
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: in your AN0 document, you say that shareholder equity is the difference between the sum of assets and other liabilities, but when i tot that up i get the 11.9etc, and not the 11 that your comment mentions. naively, that's the equity that the shareholders put in, but i'm struggling to reconcile that with an0 liabilities bullet #2
mircea_popescu: the 500gb had just come out and ppl were starting to make jokes re eventual tb
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform iirc this set is 2005 or 2006 vintage.
asciilifeform: sorta how my '92 toyota had no obd plug
asciilifeform pulls a 80G ( circa 2001 ) out of the depths of the depths -- and - as expected - no 'smart'
asciilifeform: ( prior to the standard, you could only read diskrot data via proprietary magics )
asciilifeform: fwiw 'smart' wasn't marketed till 2004 iirc. so possibly the thing dun even have it.
asciilifeform: lol! i thought you'd boiled those in tomato soup
asciilifeform: but it was a drive where i , uh, molested, the firmware
mircea_popescu: i've never seen something like this before.
mircea_popescu: soo this actually (mostly) functional drive actually fails to read its own smart data.
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/lili-marleen-the-only-english-version-that-doesnt-suck/ << Trilema - Lili Marleen, the only English version that doesn't suck.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> but i lolled at the fbi check through interpol. "send me an aba wire through sepa!" << Apparently US law enforcement does not answer these requests from US persons, hence the WTF intermediary
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> o wow BingoBoingo is getting an uruguayan cedula ?! << Well, kind goes with the de-empirification process
mircea_popescu: "luciri de lampadare" takes all the caek.
mircea_popescu: imo much better than the baez original, specifically because it's the same pantsuitism (tho for all the bonus levels of involuntary lulz one actually needs fluent romanian)
diana_coman: trinque, sounds good; and I'm certainly interested in a recipe for transitioning a classical gentoo as well since I can quite see I'll need it anyway
ben_vulpes: interestingly, drives bolted to trays were effectively untaxed.
ben_vulpes: net tax on the miserably small pile that was actually declared ran in the 45% range
ben_vulpes: 'tis more or less what i had, but inapplicable to a bag of parts. the three new-in-box drives plus the expediter's fee plus a honking pile of taxesnfees-that-aren't-IVA was the bulk of the bill.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo ben_vulpes next time, turn the damned things on for half an hour, covers off, so they suck in some dust also.
asciilifeform: ( if not a tenaculum )
asciilifeform: i'm half convinces that ~every d00d, whether admits or not, owns at least a speculum
mircea_popescu: i dunno, by now we're starting towards gynecological instruments.
asciilifeform: 'vicegrip' evenbetter toy
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform as he says, they're not actually useful other than symbolically. but symbolically AND HOW
a111: Logged on 2018-02-06 13:13 mircea_popescu: intel thinking at the time being is, "have the paperwork for mbs and chips in slot 1 ; paperwork for disks in slot 2 ; for ram in slot 3. then if asked for papers, present slot 1, offer to pay, whine and ask for discounts, etc. if that dun pass, add slot 2, whine more insistently."
