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.
mircea_popescu: he evidently had long
term same-partner at
time of nostril hair counting.
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: 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.
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.
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!!!")
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.
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.
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
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: 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.
mircea_popescu: (other
than
the usenet nonsense, and quite amusingly
to me, al is MOST wrong on
the
topic of... management!)
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: 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.

the null ocean
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.
trinque: lobbes: nothing could be cheaper
today or more expensive
tomorrow
lobbes: Aha.
ty asciilifeform!

☟︎ 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.

☟︎ 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: note
that when i jot down comments i approximate numbers.
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: soo
this actually (mostly) functional drive actually fails
to read its own smart data.
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: 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.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, by now we're starting
towards gynecological instruments.
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."
