pete_dushenski: Frank Thomas @TheBigHurt_35 This is the craziest inning of baseball
I've ever seen!! <<
pete_dushenski: brg444
i remember watching him for the first time, while in a hotel room in mexico as it happens, during his senior year (of high school!) in the slam dunk competition. he was simply monumental. and
i remember saying "watch out for this kid" without really knowing jack shit about pro bball
brg444: lebron the most impressive specimen
I've seen
brg444:
i get the same feelings watching Odell Beckham launch 45 inches in the hair grabbing footballs one handed during pre-game
BingoBoingo: There was probably juice around then too,
I mean Jose Canseco. Thomas though was a genetic freak.
pete_dushenski: ahh chicago.
i remember the days of frank thomas like they were yesterday.
pete_dushenski: see, without good ol' deedbot-
i'd have forgotten entirely about that eth bet.
pete_dushenski: "here you are officer,
i think you'll find this correspondance regarding the weather in peru to be in order"
pete_dushenski: actually, if
i were goldman,
i'd use 'symphony chat' for 'clean tawk' and pgp for 'dirty tawk'.
pete_dushenski: "The four banks will store duplicate copies of the decryption keys for their messages with independent custodians (
i.e., custodians not controlled by the banks)."

I too am under the thumb of the SS.
gribble: naphex was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 5 days, 10 hours, 24 minutes, and 35 seconds ago: <Naphex> mircea_popescu: yep;
i'm waiting for a mail from him should come later on today
phf: and then there's always bitcoind source, which is infinite rabbit hole.
i'm studying the source by rewriting chunks in cl, and the more
i learn, the more
i know
i don't know
shinohai: If help is still needed cleaning or writing some crap for the wiki
I may can help.
mircea_popescu: and
i am pretty certain the specwork for it will involve fireworks.
mircea_popescu: sometimes
i think b-a is really the mental process of a nutty old guy
gribble: artifexd was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 24 weeks, 6 days, 21 hours, 45 minutes, and 11 seconds ago: <artifexd>
I'm comfortable calling it a review. Not just of what it is but what it was and how it got to where it is.
mircea_popescu: fits in head,
i suspect, is just your bait and switch to make the world "fits in ass".
mircea_popescu: which is why
i dun wanna encourage your heretic renaissance-orchestra-man ways by attaching more talented young folk to your crazylab.
mircea_popescu: but
i am positive that either mod6 or alf could give you huge chunks to do, if you're mostly into that. prolly mod6 more swamped tghan alf atm, even.
phf:
i'm basically following along the logs, looking for things
i can pick up and work on. last one
i saw was memory limits in nursery
phf: that's one way of putting it, except
i don't have enough leverage to last me to the end, so technically no
mircea_popescu: "not my proudest moment in retrospect, but hot damned that time
i stripped naked and jumped in the pool was the greatest party ever!" said many a tall beauties.
phf: mircea_popescu:
i was being childish, but also under a lot of stress. at that point they didn't quite believe me that
i really am only staying on long enough to wrap up the projects
i was responsible for. the haircut cut off any attempts to bring me into meetings with new clients. in any case not my proudest moment, but it was my best halloween costume so far.
mircea_popescu: "To illustrate this, consider the latest issue containing an article, "Power Hour." It describes an impromptu experiment on the world's powerful (
i.e. Paul Wolfowitz) that unfortunately failed to show the intended result, namely, that he's a jerk.
mircea_popescu:
i dun get why you'd want to big fuck you the firm you work for.
phf: last year
i did travis bickle for halloween, complete with haircut, which had a nice bonus of being a big fuck you to the firm
i was working for. apparently it's fine to have purple hair if you're an agile manager, but not so much a "warhawk" for a project architect.
shinohai:
I'm certainly nowhere near fat enough to be Gavin.
shinohai: At first
I though of making a giant paper-machie forhead and going as Vitalik Buterin, but it kept collapsing. :/
shinohai:
I'm going to paint "Dumb ideas and bankrupt companies" onto a briefcase and dress up as a VC for Halloween.
mircea_popescu: "
I know they're billing it as a stand for women's rights, but that would be more convincing if they weren't also selling weapons to Saudi Arabia, hadn't shuttered 75 percent of the country's Status of Women offices, and weren't shrugging off the more than 1,200 Indigenous women who have been missing or murdered in Canada since 1980."

i've been on cbc, yahoo news, huffington post, several local rags... vice article is the best one
mircea_popescu: "James LaFond—a little prick
I never much cared for anyhow—is dead, and
I am the ghost animating his tottering corpse." << you know, this is pretty typical schizo stuff and im willing to bet the guy kills someone.
shinohai: yay assbot is back.
I had forgotten until
I already sent command.
mircea_popescu: just like dumbass chick with "
i want people to like me for me" and no nudies on facebook IS selecting for her future husband.
mircea_popescu: at any rate a damn sight better plan than "
i'll go to college and become carrie bradshaw"
trinque: a "counselor" comes running every time this kid lashes out.
I say he wins
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the only problem is that it takes me ~20 minutes to translate one. it maybe takes me 15 minutes to read and fix his, except
i'll also get angry. so it's a sort of economical problem.
mircea_popescu: WHAE THINGS DUN JUS WORK
I WAS BORN OF WHYTE CUNT IN AMUYRKA
assbot: Logged on 13-10-2015 22:07:28; mircea_popescu:
i never knew
i could equally hate both sides of a "debate" to the degree.
punkman: not rly,
I was just wondering about the prize
assbot: Logged on 14-10-2015 04:36:41; BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Apparently the freaks with super natural muscle were on to something, and that something was male birth control.
I feel lied and cheated to.
punkman: one case it doesn't mention is that clueless client demands to use AWS and mongodb and hadoop, because "
I heard these were popular and next week when
I am a big multinational
I'll need to hire 10k developers and they'll only know how to use those"

i'm not sure if this was the goal but at this point general USian populace won't believe there's a shooting until the bullets hit them directly
assbot: Logged on 14-10-2015 05:29:18; Duffer1: does he say what the injuries were that lead him to change? "2. Submission to the pigs is no longer an option. Any time
I put myself at the mercy of a law officer this may result in me being jailed or imprisoned. These are options that, to me, are now infinitely less desirable than death by cop."
diana_coman: fwiw
I have been following Trilema from pretty much its beginning so
I'm quite familiar with most of it (not that
I wouldn't benefit from re-reading a lot of it) and
I think there are many articles that would be worth translating
diana_coman: alternatively it might simply be that
I just hate translating -
I'd much rather rewrite the thing in my own words as an exercise in understanding it
diana_coman:
I must admit that
I kind of hate doing translation work as
I find it horribly time consuming
diana_coman: jurov,
I think gabrielradio means that he is interested in doing the translation
jurov:
i doubt very much mircea_popescu will translate someone else's articles
TheNewDeal: Just wanted to say that
I am revoking my license as of today.
I was a little sloppy with my key.
I'll be back later
gabrielradio: If you're a native Romanian speaker with a very good grasp of English,
I am interested to work out an arrangement for your translation of my older Romanian articles. Don't hesitate to make contact for this purpose. << mircea_popescu , is this still of interest to you?
nubbins`:
i could kiss drew brown for including that paragraph verbatim
davout: "Sucks, but
I don't want to sterilize perfectly good satire just so people don't have to worry or think." <<< the world would be a much better place if this stance was more common
nubbins`: this election is seriously the most fun
i've had since
i don't know when

☟︎ funkenstein_: re: diesel thread, at one point
i drove a friends retro-fitted diesel. retrofit consisted of an extra tank and a switch to select fuel line
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: He has a long chronicle of past injuries. This sudden decline is new though and he ofers no new injury.
I may be a combination of age and the past injuries.
Duffer1: does he say what the injuries were that lead him to change? "2. Submission to the pigs is no longer an option. Any time
I put myself at the mercy of a law officer this may result in me being jailed or imprisoned. These are options that, to me, are now infinitely less desirable than death by cop."

i dunno maybe you're right
