a is anyway? At least that's how I'm trying to use it.
pete_dushenski: "It's still an honorable thing to get
a Ph.D. " << bahaha on what planet is this ?
decimation: actually, the white part has
a significant portion
pete_dushenski: given that i was able to attract
a fair few steers of unusual and exciting personally owned autos with my old blog, it should be
a cinch with contravex's broader readership as
a selling point
decimation: which is actually pretty rational if you are gonna make
a 'nationalist' welfare state
pete_dushenski: someone in my meatwot is bound to splurge for one, and it'd then just be
a matter of time before i snagged some seat time.
decimation: "“Haven’t you ever been abroad?” “Well, obviously: Poland, France, Hungary . . .” “OK, they’re inside the EU.” “And the Soviet Union.” “You got in there without
a passport?” I thought about it for
a moment. “I cannot recollect anybody having asked me for one,” I replied confidently."
decimation: being carried out in an artificial currency called “euro,” regarded, as one would expect, with
a high level of mistrust. I could have told those responsible that this would be the case."

http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/philg/2015/07/09/hitlers-thoughts-on-the-euro/ > "I’m halfway through Look Who’s Back,
a book in which Hitler wakes up in 2011 and, homeless and friendless, ... The Reichsmark was no longer legal tender, even though others—probably some clueless dilettantes on the side of the victorious powers—had clearly adapted my plan to turn it into
a European-wide currency. At any rate, transactions were now b

a single malt

Bingo_bar: Anyone here loan me
a dead bigger for storage
TheNewDeal: I must stfu and catch up on many
a log. May be looking to resell part of
a bitbet in the near future (approx 1 week from now). Keep that in mind if it sparks your interest
TheNewDeal: but hey, write it on
a few pieces of parchment, print it on the money, and it must be true
decimation: heh yeah I'm not
a fan of the pope and the authority of the church over scripture
decimation: TheNewDeal: I have no problem with catholics, but what's not obvious from what I pasted is that moldbug is making
a point about being submerged in
a particular point of view from birth
williamdunne: Trying to work out why
a translation is so poor
TheNewDeal: decimation I had
a friend convice me quite shortly after being confirmed as
a Catholic. Just need to be open-minded. Tough for
a large majority of sheeple
ben_vulpes: more like
a jester, retelling stories he heard knights bandying about
TheNewDeal: and for the record punkman, the 10 crack commandments shouldn't be grouped with the liberal buzzfeed nonsense, because that's legitmate knowledge passed down by
a semi-respectable ruffian
decimation: early yarvin had
a point about this: "You are
a Catholic. Your parents were Catholics. You were educated by Catholics. You are governed by Catholics. All your friends are Catholics. All the books you've ever read were written by Catholics.

TheNewDeal: it's
a land of servants, and the alleged elites are house-negros
mircea_popescu: or more importantly, that there IS such
a thing as servants, and such
a thing as
a line for them to keep to.
mircea_popescu: here we sit discussing "elites" in
a space that doesn't even know how to keep the servants in line
mircea_popescu: someone "paid to be nice^H^H^H^H be my servant who fucks up his DUTIES is going to be called to task. before
a sound beating.
mircea_popescu: " Snapping, clapping, yelling, whistling or just general rudeness to someone waiting on you are
a sure sign to anyone in your company that if they spend enough time around you, you’ll eventually treat them with the same selfish nonchalance and disdain that you treat those who are paid to be nice to you."
mircea_popescu: even english lit professors
a few decades ago would have laughed this pedestrian bullshit out of class.
mircea_popescu: check it out - everything on the internet is
a list now.
TheNewDeal: have you published an actual 10 commandments yet? We need
a v1.0
TheNewDeal:
a person's wife is obviously their property. This material vs sexual is getting to intermingled
mircea_popescu: may be
a false friend, it comes from
a time when wives were just another kind of chattel.
mircea_popescu: i ask because this is
a fine example of english being
a pigdin, where dictionaries don't define and nothing means anything specific

TheNewDeal: you know. Seeing pencilneck prick drive
a jaguar down the road. Slober at him, then go home and watch tv to forget
decimation: in this sense, the us is like
a jealous mob - always keeping one eye out for the unforgivable crime of trying to clamour above the others
mircea_popescu: but it can never BE
a fox, while living. nor can these pencilnecks be elite.
mircea_popescu: they can hang as elite, sure.
a hare can hang as
a fox.
decimation: I doubt there was
a blank on the permit form that allowed one to declare one's superiority
mircea_popescu: you gotta ask the girl out to be
a man. that's the bar. you don't ask, you're not
a man. you hint at her you might like to, you're
a lesbian trapped in
a transsexual's body, not
a man.
mircea_popescu: decimation adding that nonsense to the porcfest nonsense (or was it burning man ?) i'll lol once every house in the us has to have
a special bathroom for any visiting cops
TheNewDeal: mp, I've got
a talented phocomelus that can man your wizard tower. 5 star techie
mircea_popescu: i guess neartly all locales in the us are fortunate i don't give
a shiot about building anything there.
mircea_popescu: ima build
a fucking wizard tower on my own land if i feel so inclined, and if anyone doesn't like it ima add cannons to it.
☟︎ decimation: it's more complicated than you might think. in many us states it is against the law to build
a hospital unless you 'prove' that there's
a 'need' for one
decimation: what do you expect? being carried in the streets in
a litter?
mircea_popescu: in
a shitty 70s suit, looking like they won the zoo lottery and it's more monkeys.
hanbot: the same ones who'd buy
a keyboard cause it's called 'elite'
phf: i thought in u.s. liberal elite is
a keyboard for professorial types with feminist wives, who go to opera and listen to npr
mircea_popescu: mats the kennedys never went out with
a "we're better than you, so do it this way"
assbot: Charge Rate Modulation of Metal-Air Cells as
a Function of Ambient Oxygen Concentration - Patent application ... (
http://bit.ly/1GrNhHP )
mircea_popescu: if i go up to obama and take
a leak on his shoes he's going to say "that's inappropriate" isn't he.
mircea_popescu: i dunno that the us has an elite. merely
a perception of such
a thing does not cosntitute one.
decimation: yeah, just
a big package of standard lithium batteries
mircea_popescu: you can now get
a 70kwh battery for cheaper than in 1995.
gernika: Incidentally, I had the completely opposite impression that Tesla was catching on - having recently seen Tesla recharging stations at
a Holiday Inn in Winnemucca. Seems I should have weighted more heavily the fact that -- no one was using them.
mircea_popescu: the more resources one throws at
a wrong problem, the more thoroughly reviled.
mircea_popescu: the problem is, idiots working on wrong problems are not
a net win for humanity.
assbot: Logged on 18-07-2015 02:07:12; mats: i'm cheering for tesla to somehow succeed, if musk improves batt tech thats
a net win for mankind
mircea_popescu: anyway. yes, electric car is
a piece of shit submarine-airplane joint nonsense, specifically because there is no battery equivalent of fuel.
mircea_popescu: "including bigger batteries and
a quicker acceleration mode, called "Ludicrous." That option will take the car from zero to 60 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds. During the hold music for the online press conference, the automaker played some of Ludacris' music"
decimation: no I meant the rare earths, helium is
a problem
mircea_popescu: or the incredibly colonialist "now that the third world can produce lightbulbs, it's time to 'move on' to
a toxic 'alternative' that looks god awful and will poison the immediate environment with mercury"
mircea_popescu: it has
a little leg to stand on, at least. inasmuch as usg claims
a mandate to regulate everything, every failure of regulation is on their head.
mod6: next they'll sell us
a toothbrush that doubles as
a jackhammer. won't need to prop up the dental insurance companies any more, no one will have any more cavity laden teeth.

a 'smartphone' that runs longer than 24h
ben_vulpes: the cell phone was
a bad branch on the tech tree.
decimation: no there was
a 'tesla teardown' I linked here awhile ago
decimation: even if improved by
a factor of 2x (energy density at the same cost) it would be
a huge win
