a111: Logged on 2018-01-04 16:50 mircea_popescu: ReadErr don't break up your logical sentences, it's unseemly. people read whole lines, you don[t have to make a saladpoem out of your thoughts.
mircea_popescu: esthlos seems to me very much a case of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-04#1763857 ☝︎
asciilifeform: makes phf's viewer unusable too
mircea_popescu: http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/nvmHd/?raw=true << what is the problem with 1st rather than 2nd ?
asciilifeform standardizes on traditional, ancestral 80col
mircea_popescu: i don't get it, if your ;; is followed by 8kb of text this breaks something ?
mircea_popescu: also breaking my automation in the process, because THIS it didn't see before.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he added the ;; each line
mircea_popescu: maybe your wrap(60) or whatevert it is makes text take up 40% of my screen and bs like that.
mircea_popescu: esthlos so you don't attempt to control my viewport ?
a111: Logged on 2017-12-17 03:52 mircea_popescu does his usual s%\n\n%\r\r% s%\n% % s%\r\r%\n\n% while muttering underbreath about the idiocy of fucktards who STILL DON'T UNDERTAND NEWLINE STANDS FOR NEW PARAGRAPH!!11
esthlos: what's the reasoning?
esthlos: please critique: http://www.esthlos.com/files/v.scm . no posix/gnupg or vpatch parsing yet, just the basic logic
mircea_popescu: but hey, baby-did-its-first-travel folk think going from france to spain travel! similarily to how "i crossed state lines! went from upstate ny back to city THROUGH VERMONT!!!11)
ReadErr: they already have their own distribution
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun even know if it is 'good sportsmanship' to count individual langs. oughta count families, perhaps ? slavic, germanic , roman
ReadErr: mircea_popescu: yea but ive just never been in a position where it was desirable to learn that over something else
BingoBoingo: ReadErr: Why not? You got a thing for humping hamplanets or something?
asciilifeform: it's a type of illiteracy, and curable.
ReadErr: i only know english, was never motivated to learn another
asciilifeform: ( iirc this is already in mircea_popescu's glossary )
ReadErr: I dont doubt that either, ive seen many esl speakers out perform americans/brits
mircea_popescu: ReadErr not to mention speaks multiple languages. "esl" is a thing even.
mircea_popescu: shit, there's no orc, there's no fu, i gotta ediut this
mircea_popescu: hmn, should orclangfu be in the thesaurus ?
mircea_popescu: phf i thought it meant "toxoplasmosis is a kind of meeting of the minds also!" tbh.
ReadErr: and the domain name was probably available
BingoBoingo: That's bullshit of the same vein as the t-shirts that say "Keep East Saint Louis Beautiful"
phf: did you know that the name comes from a sacred african word, that means love and care for your fellow human being?
mircea_popescu: little did we know that whatsoever you bring to the masses, the masses also bring themselves to.
mircea_popescu: phf i can't understand why this would be, after all ubuntu came about as an attempt to bring linux to the masses.
phf: ag3nt_zer0: there's a general lean against ubuntu here (i mean it's a piece of shit), but it should work, though you're going to run into pointless library conflicts and such, that an expert can resolve on sight. need sight though
mircea_popescu: hm, better that way
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: whole day sawed, chopped -- but could not fix the comp !
mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 do it again, a) write down the specifics and b) don't wait a month.
ag3nt_zer0: it was a month ago so don't have the specifics anymore but system was telling me that i needed a number of libs... I dl'ed and installed but the libs later in sequence were telling me they needed the earlier libs which were already supposedly installed. I tried the process several times and am happy to do it again if you think this is the best way but I was thinking maybe ubuntu isn't the most pragmatic for this?
a111: Logged on 2017-12-27 07:13 mircea_popescu: aaand in other humanities : a. j. ayer was once in the livingroom of one fernando sanchez on west 57th st, hanging out with a buncha young hussies/models when one girl came arunnin' complaining that her friend was being assaulted in the bedroom. ayer went in, where he found mike tyson atop an obscure south london model. when the (at the time 70yo) oxford professor asked him to quit it, mike tyson wanted to know if he knows wh

mircea_popescu: this made sense to them -- and if it makes sense to you, the whole rest of that dumb shit probably also will.
mircea_popescu: TO SAND! mechanisms, out of the fucking hood, in the desert.
mircea_popescu: they had all sorts of (utterly nonsensical) "cars of the future", their features being that they were "warlike" (in a dysfunctional, anti-mechanicistic, looks-are-everything-and-hot-beats-cute girl pov) and that they had mechanisms exposed ☟︎
asciilifeform: from the article re when the mains current gave out
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: recall your toilet chix ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this "i gots to see what goes on in engine" thing is very present, though. /me watched a half hour of "mad max, the version with the crazy south african hottie who got black gangraped so much in that beautifully democratic country, she's all about cutting out her tits and painting her face into wall-like appearances, EXACTLY like the native girls of the accursed africa -- and just like them, will NOT think of ty
ag3nt_zer0: ok in my attempts to set up trb node I encountered a snag trying to install gpg keychain to verify sigs... tried a bunch of troubleshooting tips but no luck. i'm using ubuntu 14.04 - thinking of starting fresh. what is best linux dist for trb node?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not THAT much you can do on that sorta engine "yourself". it's really the simplest thing
mircea_popescu: "this car is great -- every 50 miles you gotta pop the hood"
ReadErr: or someone who buys with with the expectation of doing that
mircea_popescu: i'd like to meet this esl tard who reads jezbel and works on his car himself.
mircea_popescu: here's an item : https://archive.is/g9gAt pantsuit.org explains to the noisy plebs why they dun wanna the item
asciilifeform had to look up what even is a 'veyron'
mircea_popescu: for instance when i linked you to http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-31#1761560 i specifically meant you to read the whole thing lol. it explains why "why an enterprising individual hasnt come along and made it more accessible, or rather go for the volume game". ☝︎
ReadErr: my fault for not paying attention, busy day at work cant think straight
ReadErr: which doesnt have the context
asciilifeform: timisoara was a valhalla of these. 'stadium-sized factory, ONLY 1mil $!11'
ReadErr: since it looks similar to the search page
ReadErr: mircea_popescu: ohhh it highlighted the first line i didnt think to keep reading
a111: Logged on 2018-01-03 17:58 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-03#1763108 << i had to google the name, ran across principally the picture of an ugly orc thug in one of those university bonnets. why the fuck is a 18yo monkey wearing collegiate apparel, not nearly old enough ?
mircea_popescu: but... there's no demand. there's just noise shaped-to-look-like-demand by the sort of cocksuckers who made their life be about making noises shaped-to-look-like-a-constitutional-law-professor-while-being-this-dumb-fuck: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-03#1763229 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: which is what the "here's capital good selling under book price -- go, buy" link was all about! there's not going to be any "SALE!!!" better than this, ever, no matter what.
phf: the noise exceeds the supply
mircea_popescu: demand from plebs is a) entirely imaginary and b) fucking poisonous. fuck them, let them eat their plastic and thank their incagod.
BingoBoingo: Montevideo has dispelled much of the appeal of Big ships for me. The whole watching them lumber about in the Rio de Plata... They don't look very fun to drive.
ReadErr: since the demand far exceeds the supply with the conventional routes
mircea_popescu: ReadErr because we don't believe in the mass market.
ReadErr: but I wonder why an enterprising individual hasnt come along and made it more accessible, or rather go for the volume game
a111: Logged on 2016-08-04 14:47 mircea_popescu: well, by far the cheapest masquerade of a solution is spending the 45mn or so to buy a junky old tanker and be happy.
mircea_popescu: ReadErr and ironically enough, take an item such as say http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-04#1514478 -- it's right there, begging to be bought. but... ☝︎
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> ReadErr when's the last time a veyron/fighter jet etc was advertised TO YOU ? << The last time a Buggatti was marketed to me was about ~45 minutes ago when I went to Tienda Inglesa for Chocolate milk. Here Bugatti markets... High end asado tools.
mircea_popescu: there were a lotta muppets with the whole "who buys mpex seats" issue back in the day also ; it's a poor people's limited universe problem.
mircea_popescu: you're not in the right vertical ; are you going to deduce by this "hey, fighters are not sold -- nobody spams me offers for them" ?
ReadErr: with the current market anyways
mircea_popescu: ReadErr when's the last time a veyron/fighter jet etc was advertised TO YOU ?
ReadErr: mircea_popescu: I dont deny that it happens but rather wonder why its not advertised and sold
mircea_popescu: humans have been for rent, sale, wholesale etcetera since the dawn of civilisation ; in no small part because THAT IS THE FUCKING POINT ; and what civilisation even means.
mircea_popescu: ReadErr if you want the use of a twat, you can go to your local twatspensary, it's 20 bux or w/e. if you want organs (to eat, to transplant, whatever) it's like 50k a pop or so, they do it in most countries ; if you want... what exactly do you want ?
BingoBoingo: ReadErr: Why are so called houses in the US built like movie sets, unlike houses in rich countries liek Uruguay that use Concrete?
mircea_popescu: trilema is like that thing from the matrix, one minute you're swallowing something, the next minute you're fucking a bulky black dude with shaved head AND ENJOYING IT!!!1

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo fireworks! definitionally in the open!
BingoBoingo: Well no, nobody outside TMST does anything out in the open
mircea_popescu: ReadErr don't break up your logical sentences, it's unseemly. people read whole lines, you don[t have to make a saladpoem out of your thoughts. ☟︎
ReadErr: they do this out in the open?
ReadErr: I could send them $ and it would be here
ReadErr: if I wanted a kidney tomorrow

a111: Logged on 2017-12-25 18:07 mircea_popescu: so, to get on the same page here, the general strategy is, 1. construct undisruptable comms ; 2. disrupt usg&friends comms ; 3. disrupt usg&friends physical presence.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-04 14:49 ReadErr: is there anywhere one could read about this overthrowing the gov plan
