the biodiesel business.
mircea_popescu: "how about culling 95% of us pop ?

mircea_popescu: somehow
the "small" and "prosperous" relationship, as in, "for as long as you're not overpopulated, you can be prosperous" is not-evident
to
the pantsuit fans of iceland.
BingoBoingo: "While Iceland has had equal pay laws in place since 1961,

mircea_popescu: "what have we learned
today, dottirsherd ?" "today we have learned
that
the capital duty incumbent upon
the dottir herswoman is
to find herself a master
to obediently follow ; because if dottir herdswoman attempts
to act of her own, disaster universally follows."

the case of
the dumb icelander cow be publicized, maybe
they learn
the fundamental lesson : "being stupid, which is
to say being you, means
that

to help'''
the worse it gets. for everyone."

the case knowing it would only lead
to my colleague receiving less."
mircea_popescu: conversely, is
there such a
thing possible as "distil
the wine", in
the sense of, "taking a cask of wine in which were put no droppings of any kind, and making it wine-irier, somehiw" ?
mircea_popescu: is
there such a

the fastest machines are ancient. Newer machines are all over
the place. Fancy gaming rigs with unusually high refresh-rate displays are almost competitive with machines from
the late 70s and early 80s, but “normal” modern computers can’t compete with
thirty
to forty year old machines.'
BingoBoingo: Anyways
the overriding concern was
the full bladder. Secondary concern is not knowing how long water's been making it
through
the roof and onto
the floor.
The parquet routinely gets pulled up by bare feet, which gives me doubts about
the subfloor.
mircea_popescu: "let me guess, you're
top floor ?" "how did you know ?"
mircea_popescu: one of my dreams is
to one day visit a nubile young woman's place of domicile and discover
this slighlty humid cave, with beds piled up like racks, 20 of
them on either side.
BingoBoingo: Jumping is not a gringo power.
They even made a movie
titled "White men can't jump"

the
traditional boxes but more freestyle
mircea_popescu: and wtf ivory bunks you got
there. chicago man can't jump ?!
mircea_popescu: and you still gotta get
the hang of spanish flow. "la noche pasada, nadie robar mi escalara" = "last night, nobody
to steal my steer" is funny, but "la noche pasada nadie me robo nada" a little more in
the vein of common speech.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> why
the fuck. everything is better with explosions ? << Well, what's
the next Republican holiday? Gotta challenge
the Latino Christmasen.
mircea_popescu: phf ahaha
that
thing. "comes alive at night AND FUCKS YOUR WIFE!!!" has endured as a harem ditty.
mircea_popescu: ok, but do me a favour, don't drink
the whole river at
the same
time.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo iirc
these were photographers or something, "will never be forgotten" etc. ofcourse meanwhile...
mircea_popescu: why not exploding fossil amber marbles with
tyronasauri
trapped inside!
they could gnaw at your ankles! play it in
the bed of a piranha infested river!
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> (recall
that case of usg "trained" special op dead in mortar "accident" ?) <<
There was one of
those from
the home
town. 1 week
till his USMC contract expired, mortar exploded in Arizona desert during

mircea_popescu: ReadErr anyway, if you like arc velocity etc, know you're not
the first.

to be safe ;

BingoBoingo: In other news, went
to
the accountant (very short walk)

The office of officing
things apparently has an anal child

BingoBoingo: not uncommon for
the elderly azn shopkeeps

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-03#1763132 << it's kinda funny how all sorta
three-toothpicks-tied-together doods go like "oh, knockout game".
the FUCKING IDEA is
to knock out someone by surprise when it's even vaguely conceivable you couldn't have otherwise. who
the fuck is going
to "knockout game" some dood
that looks like he'd get knocked out falling out of bed / in some kind of
toothbrush incident. << In St Louis
☝︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes yes, wake me up when YOU are
the dood
they make a film about.
mircea_popescu: (recall
that case of usg "trained" special op dead in mortar "accident" ?)
