lobbes: so cable company just called me; 'Because you're such a loyal customer, I'm going to give you this exclusive *unadvertised* offer! For MORE money per month, I can give you faster internet!"
thestringpuller: ;;later tell funkenstein_ I've bought a lot of Jay-Z albums. The Black Album on vinyl is sick. Jay-Z is good at moving albums tho...
funkenstein_: this concludes my driveby bitcoin-asseting, I'm off now to go cut bill-sized newspaper strips :)
funkenstein_: i'm thinking of something bigger, can you guess what it is?
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=FTP | FTP. Fuck the police. Coined in early 1998 by a C.B. local. It is the only true definition of this word and all the othere can f*ck off. I'm sick of these pigs harassing ...
assbot: Logged on 19-10-2015 20:03:53; Xplosionist: I mean, I'm very glad we have people that do it. Most of whom are actually nice and do a good job. But, wow, I would never want to deal with as much crap as you have to put up with fore that job.
funkenstein_: and related later, how many people do you know that paid for a recording of Jay Z? But oh, I saw 100million written down so, lets just believe that shall we?
funkenstein_: first they came for the derps. but I was not a derp, so I said nothing.
punkman: I don't think I'd buy gold coin off random guy on the street either
mircea_popescu: i'd guess about half of them.
BingoBoingo: I just gotta say Jay-Z's girl Beyonce better consider a calorie deficit before she ends up like Kim Karsashian who bloated up.
BingoBoingo: I know alf has an aversion to the American Football talk, but the sad thing is that was likely one of the saner people getting into the game
mircea_popescu: from what i could gather, the sort of kid that plays football comes from the same pool of kids that "sing rap" or get shot in turf wars.
mircea_popescu: i''ticker
mircea_popescu: at which point, i'll definitively confuse the matter by going on the least expected tangent :
asciilifeform: but how is the fungus man 'smooth' ? as far as i can see, he is one gigantic wrinkle, like a von koch snowflake
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this is a legitimate if complex question. i'll approach it from very, very far away.
asciilifeform: 'What I came up with this investigation Whale.'
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> oh i thought that part was gendered not social. ie, "what is the 1 in the 1 to 10 scale for women" rather than for people in general. << This is why 'Murica is failing. Not enough mundane nouns are gendered
asciilifeform: 'If you cut me I don't bleed, I pour out AWESOMENESS!' << from BingoBoingo's link
mircea_popescu: oh i thought that part was gendered not social. ie, "what is the 1 in the 1 to 10 scale for women" rather than for people in general.
BingoBoingo: Also now that I know cool black people and cool Jooz, need socially acceptable utternmenschen and the Food Stamp supermorbidly obese are kinda it.
BingoBoingo: I have to say though that Nisshin Maru might be my favorite ship in the ocean
mircea_popescu: but all things consider, i'd rather the adult woman carry the lines i give her.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: possibly. all i have is this data point.
asciilifeform: more or less illustrative of the opposite of what i mean when i say that the chix in mircea_popescu's photos 'have no faces'
asciilifeform: funnily enough, i just answered phone from an old phriend who needed phase diagram of $redacted. apparently libraries now lack basic reference dead tree, and the net - worthless
punkman: I do wonder what heliumkola burps sound like
jurov: heh helium won't dissolve in water, i'm +1 with nitrous oxide
mircea_popescu: shouldn't they use , i dunno, helium ? to reduce their footprint ?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: i betcha they're getting carbon credits for sequestering
ben_vulpes: eg "i'm a coke person, not a pepsi person"
shinohai: http://thenextweb.com/facebook/2015/10/19/i-spy-with-my-little-eye-something-beginning-with-g/ <<< O.o lulz
ascii_field: i thought hazing were more of a 'тяжело в учении - легко в бою' kind of thing
assbot: I WAS MCG AND WIFE’S THREE-WAY SEX STUD: EX-DRIVER | New York Post ... ( http://bit.ly/1PCFGiD )
mircea_popescu: http://nypost.com/2008/03/17/i-was-mcg-and-wifes-three-way-sex-stud-ex-driver/ << somebody please explain the news to me.
punkman: I wonder where all the dead pilots work
mircea_popescu: i wonder if adhd is related to cell towers and autism to vaccines or vice versa. hey, that's interesting, x-ray vans.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field well i was constructing a counterfactual.
shinohai: http://www.businessinsider.com/y-combinator-growth-calculator-2015-10 <<< I thought the best tool was to just let mircea_popescu analyze it.
punkman: I accidentally that sentence
punkman: I wonder how aware the ny (drug/money/x) couriers deal with this
punkman: I also thought backscatter couldn't see inside truck
punkman: I thought backscatter was xrays
assbot: Logged on 19-10-2015 16:42:42; mircea_popescu: rizi tu rizi, harap alb, da' nu-i risul tau.
gabrielradio: i had doubts for a second there. i'm still trying to figure out where to go straightforward & where to reconstruct to better cater to the meaning
gabrielradio: a lot better than what i used tho
mircea_popescu: that's why i keep saying innit in english.
mircea_popescu: deodata is not suddenly, in that contexts, it's "at the same time". english apparently fails synonymy. At the same time, simultaneously and concurrently i guess.
assbot: Logged on 18-10-2015 03:42:19; mircea_popescu: i guess we should add to gabrielradio's list http://trilema.com/2011/cel-mai-adevarat-in-gangsta-rap/
mircea_popescu: i thought pitch flows.
mircea_popescu: and speaking of these latter : i wonder how many people realise that the us complaint with spanish administration in florida was that it's TOO LAX ? as in, not oppressing the land nearly enough ? which is why they invaded.
mircea_popescu: sometimes i wonder what a world with ACTUAL 30% gross margins would look like.
mircea_popescu: i ask her if she's stupid. she pretends to not know what i'm saying. i leave.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, i had the most ustardian experience in argentina yet. so i want planters. small shop down the street, mostly closed, someone's house. finally it's open, i pick the planters, they're 90 each. i say i want 5, they only have 3. i scratch my head and leave.
mircea_popescu: "yeah baby, his daddy bought him an iphone ; i ordered this thing to hold 800 bucks. pick a cock to suck."
mircea_popescu: if i was younger and somehow the ipod thing actually put any drag on my mating, that's pretty much what i'd have done.
ascii_field: reminds me of a product i suggested to a fella in meatspace - an iphone-shaped container that conveniently holds 800 usd
mircea_popescu: it's not, "money, i could do anything with". it's "money, i'll buy a toke with"
mircea_popescu: should be interesting to see how well teh entire "i am hoarding gold" thing plays out.
mircea_popescu: "i won't starve, i got a college education / 401k / my gold coins collection"
mircea_popescu: "i'm going to build a successful company - venture capital got my back"
mircea_popescu: i wonder how many 4th wave feminists fighting rape on campus and what other derpage realise that their daughters... well no. their nieces will live their life naked.
ascii_field: jp, i'm told, is 20 yrs ahead in this metric
mircea_popescu: i wonder how long before a guy starts sending all the companies scam "copyright infringement" notices and invitations to pay $600 to make the embarassment go away, like those twerps trawling the noob torrent folk.
danielpbarron: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-10-2015#1302692 << so far this tactic has worked for me, since I stopped filing a few years ago ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i've got the best fucking weather, it's incredible. constantly 16-18ish, nice breeze, beautiful sun...
Xplosionist: I mean, I'm very glad we have people that do it. Most of whom are actually nice and do a good job. But, wow, I would never want to deal with as much crap as you have to put up with fore that job. ☟︎
diametric: I should say, despite the claims of "most dangerous job"
ascii_field: fwiw i have no solid proof that it took place.
mircea_popescu: i heard the story also but always figured it for ethnofantasy
Xplosionist: If you get a paycheque, that counts as something I guss.
Xplosionist: Really? Like my debt will go away after 6 months if I just become used to it ?
mircea_popescu: your hunger doesn't go away because "that's enough, i've been hungry for six hours now". on the fucking contrary.,
BingoBoingo: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-10-2015#1302431 << When I was in Missouri I could have made tax payments at the liquor store down the street. Didn't do that, but could have. ☝︎
diametric: so new cardano bet. i'm tempted
Xplosionist: i was when you _said_ hello. just not when I tried to reply.
diametric: oh I didn't realize he wasn't voiced when I said hello.
kakobrekla: i have some vague memory telling me this was the case at some point
Xplosionist: thanks much all. And, for better and worse, I'll make sure my client is in sync before trying to propose a bet in the future.
Xplosionist: thx, yeah, i see it in my core client to. It's in sync atm. :-)
Xplosionist: i have 0.11.0, it's working okay for me on multiple macs. haven't tried it on other OSes.
shinohai: I don't have a "latest" copy of it. 0.11.0 crashed on me several times, not that I needed it anyway.
Xplosionist: shinohai: yeah, but core client is what I had/have, and what I typically use. Just habit.
Xplosionist: Oh. Well, then to what i said before. I expected it would work.
Xplosionist: But, maybe the bitcoin core client doesn't work the way I thought it did.
Xplosionist: Right. And, I'd expected my client to send it right away, just not to know about it's confirmation until it caught up.
Xplosionist: my client says 10/13/15 12:50, and I think that's 00:00-4.
kakobrekla: i dont think the fees matter (yet). 0conf takes zero conf txes, meaning it just has to propagate, not be included in bc
Xplosionist: I don't honestly know. Hours, to be sure, but less than a day.
Xplosionist: No, I sent from my bitcoin core client, but it wasn't caught up, and it didn't realize it would take that long to send it out.
Xplosionist: Right. I attempted to do that, but it was delayed too long.
Xplosionist: So, happy to not have the proposet bet exist now, I want to find out where my 0.5 BTC is.
Xplosionist: @kakobrekla, oh you mean the bet was rejected. Right. That I'd guessed.
Xplosionist: K. Thanks. I saw a "conflicted" report in my client, but wasn't 100% sure that meant what I hoped it did.
mircea_popescu: why not "i sent so and so on this date included in this block here's the txn and etc
Xplosionist: But, AFAICT, I'm still out the 0.5 BTC I sent.
Xplosionist: I proposed a bet last week, but I think my funding of the bet was delayed too long, and the bet proposal was eventually rejected.
Xplosionist: I have a question about a bitbet funding issue.
pete_dushenski: o ya, i think it's federal election day today
