ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i might be thick, but i entirely cannot see how the hooker connects.
mircea_popescu: yeah, totally. and if i go buy a twelve year old hooker in the DC, it's also the usg that supplied her right ?
mircea_popescu: "oh. useful! i hope you went to college for this."
ascii_field: i'd be surprised if usg had never tried to roust up rebellion among the chukchas
ascii_field: for all i know, new york isn't even there any longer. been a while since i visited.
mircea_popescu: last i heard germany is not levelling new york with tactical nukes either.
ascii_field: last i heard, usg was not levelling syria with tactical nukes
PeterL: well, nobody, but I havn't been looking hard
mircea_popescu: jurov from what i've seen, it's a certain river + sandy dune thing they like.
jurov: i live in desert?
PeterL: I think my HS football team had 4 black kids, and one of them was the running back.
BingoBoingo: I don't think Mizzou can and survive their non-divisional conference games without sever embarassment. Our big problem is Mauk lost the only recievers who can catch his passes and our elite running back sprained his ankle against Southeast Missouri...
PeterL: I don't think a win over a FCS school should count on the record (but a loss should count as 2)
PeterL: I wish more teams played good competition in their non-confrence schedules
PeterL: My Spartans got ranked #2, and the #1 OSU is looking pretty shaky, I don't think they will last long enough for us to knock them off their pedestal
BingoBoingo: PeterL: Been following it a Bit. I'm worried because Mizzou won its non-Conference schedule and Georgia beat SOuth Carolina. We might not take the SEC East this yeat.
gribble: artifexd was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 21 weeks, 5 days, 23 hours, 5 minutes, and 13 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.
gernika: I live about half a mile from the Pacific Coast. Constant cool breeze seems to have eliminated them completely.
ascii_field: i have one. it mainly blows up beetles but does nothing against the real pestilence, the mosquito.
trinque: you're being sold "I did something"
mircea_popescu: i guess the problems in the ustard head are actually there. same sort of thinking that creates "war on drugs" creates this thing, too.
ascii_field: i thought this was well-known.
mircea_popescu: i thought you just meant "shitty hotel"
shinohai: "team garza" I love it.
mike_c: but i could at least put that blob on the 'not found' page
mike_c: I'll take a look.
shinohai: Now I feel better.
kakobrekla: how am i suppose to get keyid
ascii_field: what, i can't walk over and drop in a base64 turd ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno they keep derping about how they support ecc and how great it is and how blabla. protonmail.
mircea_popescu: I THOUGHT THEY WERE BIG BONED
ascii_field: i don't actually know anyone, afaik, who could not - if with some effort - fit through that
mircea_popescu: i really like my idea of the foot-apart steel pillar pen.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field i had an ipad for a while doing game research.
assbot: Logged on 22-09-2015 14:35:05; *: mircea_popescu spent five minutes once cursing at it in romanian for lols, it was all "sorry, i don't understand".
mircea_popescu: the "future of bitcoin" will be bitcoin, and it will be pointedly NOT "as anonymous and private" as a made-for-usg fake anon/privacy hangout. at the very least for as long as i'm around.
mircea_popescu: and speaking of very bad things, anyone seen that thing ? it's... hm. i humbly suggest it to the feminist hating crowd!
mircea_popescu: i always thought the spaghetti westerns were parodic, which makes them more palatable. tho i can't say i ever liked one.
mircea_popescu: so this is basically the porn argument ? "i dunno man, i just like how those two tits match visually ? it's an aesthetic thing." ?
mike_c: I like it like the spaghetti westerns. Just good popcorn movies.
mircea_popescu: but maybe i'm just being academitarded.
mike_c: I don't think it's amazing as a film, but I've seen it a few times.
mircea_popescu: i guess in an unstated solaris kind of way.
mike_c: I found it enjoyable.
mircea_popescu: i dunno why people are so gaga over it (in the us only - nobody cares afaik outside of the pesthole)
mircea_popescu: also, am i the only one that thinks the butch cassidy&sundance kid film utterly sucked ?
mircea_popescu: http://i.imgur.com/i56S1pa.png << this is pretty much the entire story of "hyip".
mircea_popescu: hi guise i am running linux and i thought i'd integrate the kernel.
funkenstein_: in lulzier news http://i.imgur.com/i56S1pa.png
mircea_popescu: oh wait i think his list was 9 items long
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ you will notice (im not even sure if that was attempted sarcasm or not tbf) that the imperative to learn variety speak is not so i can understand the othjer, but so that the other can begin to think.
mircea_popescu: i wasn't even proposing i was. who cares, yet another blogger.
mircea_popescu: and it has one meal. "i dunno about that and i'm important so... how about that happens in terms im familiar with ?"
mircea_popescu: the only thing good about that america was that it kept to its stupid self and i never ran into it.
mircea_popescu: "You are SO on the mark my friend. Nothing has improved unless you are a wall street banker public employee or large corporation. All of the above we can do without. There was and is nothing better than that small town america pre I phone and internet."
funkenstein_: i can't imagine you'd find buyers in the end but throw it up on kickstarter anyway?
mircea_popescu: i suppose we could call this... 5th wave feminism.
mircea_popescu: i foresee a great industry of buying american third gendered persons by the pound,
mircea_popescu spent five minutes once cursing at it in romanian for lols, it was all "sorry, i don't understand". ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i mean specifically the shape of the blade. very elegant.
mircea_popescu: i still suspect shenanigans re final piece, but hey.
mircea_popescu: you recall the thing i mean ?
asciilifeform: for instance, 'i'm good with metals!' -- 'what am i to do with this forge!?!!'
mircea_popescu: "so i'm helping."
mircea_popescu: "i sent my piece of fuckmeat to africa - they don't know this about her there. yet."
assbot: Logged on 21-09-2015 21:47:32; phf: there's an organic food place here, ran by, i'm pretty convinced of that, former MOVE hangerons. black folk be talking about prana, and the power of positive thinking, that REALLY WORKS man. typical cliental involves angry black woman talking about taking her daughter to africa and how refreshing it was without all the white folk looking down on you
mircea_popescu: (and yes is what i mean by savage/monkey, and no it's not an easy point to grok, and yes i did have this as a term paper in my naked girly school once and so sure, imagine myself with the whiprifle looking down on your efforts if it helps)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if i die anytime soon i will be a fabulous character of folk history won't i.
asciilifeform: one day mircea_popescu opens an opthamologist's practice! everyone lines up, wants to give it a try! fella walks in, 'i need new spectacles, measure my eyes.' mircea_popescu hands him... a nagant, polished, izhevsk 1941 mark visible, clean, one round in the drum. 'eat.' patient: ??? mircea_popescu: 'you can come back for this later, go home, have some children, raise'em poor and make sure the nearsighted ones die!'
asciilifeform: re: earlier thread: i have a sequel! to the broomstick story! here goes.
mircea_popescu: "oh teach why should i know this ?" "so you're not the sort of savage/monkey that is reduced to building mud huts"
asciilifeform: this was still taught in school, even in usa, when i was a kid.
mircea_popescu: http://kunstler.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/Kunstler-Logo-2-res72-final-e1372906270122.png << i wonder if he knows about crna macka, beli macor.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: kunstler is, one of, orlov's mega-favourites. but i was never able to stomach his output.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'direction' here is not in the sense of 'chemist knows the effect' - as i described in earlier threads, the models are shoddier than pretty much anyone involved in that racket is willing to admit in public. i was speaking in the sense of what usg permits to be fed to people, for test, and thereafter sold
mircea_popescu: looky here, if i strip a chick naked, blindfold her, stick a quart of diluted wine up her asshole, spin her around for five minutes and then encourage her to "move towards the cock she prefers"
asciilifeform: note that i did not say that we are ~likely~ to live to see this kind of trick. research has been just about entirely in the lobotomy direction, rather than this, no prizes for guessing why.
mircea_popescu: funkenstein_ am i very lame if i have nfi who that is ?
asciilifeform: 'i meant what i said and i said what i meant!' (tm) (r)
mircea_popescu: (oh but you meant - do what i mean! not what i say!)
asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=22-09-2015#1282294 << selective breeding works, but is the exact opposite of what i meant - which was something more like a (hypothetical) electric implant that gives you iron determination at the push of a button ☝︎
shinohai: Duly noted. No responses from anyone else yet but I'm actually enjoying art perusal so no biggie.
assbot: I stored bitcoins online ... aaaand they're gone. ... ( http://bit.ly/1iKvSXp )
shinohai: I could literally pay some doge derp $1 to 3-d print that holder, I have the same product and the derp thinks "yay my currency is a success"
shinohai: So I can't just ducttape a tennis ball to my smartphone. I need to fund a kickstarter for this junk.
shinohai: ;;later tell mircea_popescu Artist chick shuddered at irc I think, wishes to contact you via email.
mircea_popescu: “I did a U-urn and screeched wheels and they began firing handguns at us—boom, boom, boom! I thought we would die, but their fire discipline is as poor as their manners.
mircea_popescu: (i do not see any lack of continuity in soviet degeneracy as compared to pre-soviet, but then again that's just me._
phf: i don't think mp talks about willpower, there's some sort of munchausenian pulling yourself by own bootstraps (in the original meaning of the passage) point that keeps eluding me
phf: asciilifeform: i didn't intentionally skip for the purposes of "чайные ложечки" rhetoric, just talking about how the things are now
phf: well, the way i see it, pre-soviets my family had a handful of hotels and titles with corresponding land, there's not much pie growing possible, it's either i who own them, or some bloke in the ru pipeline hierarchy, and as it stands it's not me. so i'm only parodying soviet terminology with "impaired" talk
asciilifeform: i was about to say 'balls cannot be grown from empty space' but it is conceivable that the biological foundation of what we think of as 'willpower' could be discovered and played with
mircea_popescu: gimme, you know, an independent value and i shall henceforth move the earth from orbit on its leverage.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform or in other words, to paraphrase, "the sticking point here, i suspect, is that you believe for whatever reason there's "value" in things. which is at best naive, at socialism bourgeois etc."
mircea_popescu: (think of blair's own personal history - "england is great except for 2nd borns" "maybe you get lucky" "what if i don't ?" "let's make an empire, then". and after a century "empire work is too hard")
mircea_popescu: and they'll fix it, i'm sure.
mircea_popescu: good enough for me, i'll take it :)
phf: hmm, i see the point as it applies to mayakovsky. attempted to answer, had some promise, but then chocked. but i guess when it comes down to it, it's not so much that i see intrinsic value in art, it's that i'm claiming that shalamov is art. but then not being a wealthy patron, that's irrelevant. qed?
phf: i think a lot of attempts were about that, like mayakovsky with his riffs on kvadrat theme
mircea_popescu: i am unpersuaded by this thesis.
