mquander:
as you might surmise, i did not know that because until just now i didn't know about eulora, but i like MUDs and MMOs so i will be interested to look at it
mircea_popescu: "heineken" flavoured sprite is just
as toxic, of course, but because the angloworld swallows so much soda anyway, the effects are not specifically detectable.
mircea_popescu: there's a coupla "competitive" alt-flavoured soda producers (they call the swill beer for some reason),
as a direct result of distilled spirits available in the anglo world beiong so fucking toxic
mircea_popescu: same vat powers the "beefeather" gin
as the "Smirnoff" vodka
as the "walker" whisky
as the everything else.
mircea_popescu: you can be
as hydrated and vitaminized
as you wish, anything diageo sells is going to give you a hangover.
mircea_popescu: well, according to some idiots somewhere there exists such a thing
as african literature
mircea_popescu: proper alcohol (which includes no grains
as well
as nothing ever made by any english speaker anywhere) gives you a very pleasant, mellow morning after. a fine reason to drink is not even the drunkedness but THE "HANGOVER".
mircea_popescu: basically, inflaiton. "this is the new currency, worth 1/10 what it was buy you deem it
as acceptable substitute"
mircea_popescu: anyway, back to the "weaved" sf : kinda the whole point of "3d printing",
as i saw it at the time. useless wankery but who's gonna make the weaved nuclear reactor.
mircea_popescu: roughly same weight class
as deep sea dome / oil sucker.
mircea_popescu: receiver listens to frequencies for specific quanta of transmission : "this is station X transmitting count Y", rsa-signed. IF the signature verifies, and IF the y was not before seen (and if x on unit's access list etc) THEN the item is placed into quueue, to be sorted by signal strength. otherwise, dropped
as noise.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the current way gps/glonass works is not authenticated by definition,
as you correctly point out.

as own dope ?
a111: Logged on 2017-11-29 21:11 gabriel_laddel: n idea, or some form of sensory input bodily electrical resonance. MP's 'women are only useful
as slaves' comes to mind. Are men only useful when tweaking? 'Bennies' were readily available at Los Alamos during MP. Did no-sleep-drive-and-read-johnny use? I can't find primary sources and am also digressing... Tweaking. Something WILL grab your intere
mircea_popescu: the walls were not simply black, it fell off
as a dust.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform also, i think i mentioned this, but in any case : 4yo me was prescribed codeine
as phosphoric salt for kiddy cough. double dose what chet got for back pain.
gabriel_laddel: Matter... matters. If you have leftover reagents you might get what is known
as "shooter's dope". Got extra l-isomer for meth? Biker crank. Phosphorous? Pink champagne.
gabriel_laddel: Nothing in particular that I can say "aha! crazy!"
as the whole story is totally alien

as a bee << funny that they show an idiot sow scrubbing, and not, e.g, paul erdos crapping out theorems
gabriel_laddel: ome and a weekend nights end at like 11pm because my generation deserves holocaust). This involved dancing around all over the place, even going so far
as to pull out my computer & code onehanded, balancing on one foot, bobbing like a maniac, with lightbulb affixed. Honest to god, I can't tell you if ANYONE even lives in the whole western half of t

☟︎☟︎ trinque: asciilifeform: one of whom I'm thinking sat peacefully
as he burned
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform d-amph is better in that it far less physical, doesn't cause oxidative stress, isn't
as much of a "scheming" high and won't make you tweak to the point of tripping face.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: he doesn't extract cash
as far
as i can tell
ben_vulpes: dude the best thing you could be doing right now is living out of a shoebox and extracting
as many dollars from the sv machine to turn into btc
as you possibly can.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-28#1743518 prolly needs to be addressed better than the original "i wouldn't give a shit" : i'm ready to take over the governance of the entire world from the hands of the inept pretenders of today,
as of yesterday. the result would be very ~different~, yes, but that's irrelevant.
ben_vulpes: "sekuhara" being the noise little japanese girls emitted in storms of arousal when i played in japan
as a youf
a111: Logged on 2017-08-19 00:13 asciilifeform: ACHTUNG panzers!! trb node 'zoolag' is back in business, this time
as ordinary linux box -- syncing from 0 . same ip
as prev.
shinohai: im trying to get block height from various sources (
as experiment) this morning
mircea_popescu: in which sense, ethereum (not
as the item, but
as the prion set) is necessary for bitcoin to go into the millions. just a step on teh road.
mircea_popescu: this trading
as a bloc means, importantly, that the political and legal framework changes.
mircea_popescu:
as a result, they traded their valuable token
AS A BLOC to other people.
mircea_popescu: " Consider that the market is currently pricing Bitcoin over 10k
as a 114.19/73.69 sort of proposition. That's right : the open market valuation of the notion that Bitcoin will go over 10`000 USD this year is not so much worse than even odds."
a111: Logged on 2017-11-28 03:39 mircea_popescu: somehow if the usg website comes up with "it's illegal to smoke", they stop smoking,
AS FUCKING IF. whereas when the republic orders, they "have options".
mircea_popescu: same idiots
as "o noes, unforkable bitcoin is not valuable!!11" continuously since 2013.
mircea_popescu: tractor, while just
as real
as oxplow, is nevertheless no kind of oxplow ; sewing machine, while just
as sewy
as sewing by hand, nevertheless not a mechanical sewing hand ; airplane, while just
as aflight
as bird, nevertheless not mechanical wing flapper. and so on.
mircea_popescu: it's one thing to see things thatr aren't there. for
as long
as you live in the world of things that are there. once you move to living in the unreal...
mircea_popescu: anyway, the problem,
as that wise doctor pointed out, isn't when you start hearing voices, but when you start talking back.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform your notion is anachronistic, in the sense that it compares a "hunter" cut out of the 10k years ago subsistence hunter contained in the expression hunter-gatherer with the modern farmer. you can't cross time boundries like that. modern hunter is modern in exactly the same way modern farmer is modern, and for the same reasons. historical "farmer" is just
as primitive
as the hunter, which is why it's even called
mircea_popescu: hunter, concerns, inasmuch
as he bothers to notice frog is frog does not shoot at frog ; farmer, doesn't concern, in asmuch
as doesn't go out picking thistle.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-28 13:22 mircea_popescu: diana_coman yes, pre-communism romania had private land ownership, resulting in "tarani"
as the genertal noun not having any land.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-28 13:14 diana_coman: mircea_popescu, peasants of 1800 did not have the option of plastic or they'd have taken it just the same; that being said I still recall the communist-ro going precisely that route e.g. have now this here wonderful soya-oil just
as good
as the "true thing" which supposedly was... sunflower oil because nobody was supposed to even remember olive oil
a111: Logged on 2014-06-02 18:30 mircea_popescu: Up until recently it was practically impossible to become embroiled into any sort of dealing with the subgroup, their ownership being strictly assumed and their lives strictly subsumed by the corporations competent at dealing with the human cattle : fastfood providers, supermarkets, the government. Both
as employers and providers these specialised bureaucracies have the necessary tools, including cattle prods (or what

mircea_popescu: discussions of "rape" in the public space today,
as discussions of "unfairness" in the same public space a century ago are then all meaningless in the direct, simple manifestations of a doomed culture. "oh noes, our precious imaginary superiority was insulted by reality, there's a hole in the matrix through which you can perceive you AREN'T the single playing character in a WoWoW".
mircea_popescu: and turn it
as i might, i can't separate the former from the hallucination of self-determination. rural "king of the world" in decayed to death sicily, dying british empire, romania throughout and recently the us cultural space imagines himself... in a position to... MAKE DECISIONS!!! has options! may at his leisure obey republic or not. and so on.
diana_coman: my point was there were none in his village/that he had a chance to even see at work /
as an option before screwing it all and leaving rather than anything else
mircea_popescu: you can't go through any printed publication pre 1930 without running into at least an advertisement for used steam powered farm machinery
as well
as for new gasoline stuff.
diana_coman: I don't think he realised/understood/perceived the option or he'd have gone for it
as far
as I can tell otherwise
mircea_popescu: yes but field work, such
as wheat, is very amenable to mecanization. gardening, barely if at all. if you hate the idiocy of mother nature (which i fuklly understand, caragiale's "da, duioasa mama ce-i drept... trebuie numa' s-o bati sa-i singerezi sinul pina sa se-ndure sa-ti dea o picatura de lapte..." is a great understatement, there's nothing more loatefuly and despicable than "mother" nature) you'd expect you'd prefer its
diana_coman: so it wasn't either work or mud that he ran away from; it really was
as he stated it the idiocy
mircea_popescu: poor rural modern (and i guess postmodern) societies will eat potato, it's exactly a "cheapest available" item
as per above.
diana_coman: nope, he went away
as young lad with pretty much whatever he could find; he tried them all from religious missionaries/sects/whatevers to singing; in the end he settled in town and worked
as a worker in a factory, saved, bought some land, built the house *with his own hands* etc
mircea_popescu: diana_coman yes, pre-communism romania had private land ownership, resulting in "tarani"
as the genertal noun not having any land.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in 1940 romania "had" gasoline in the sense whore has money :
as a temporary conveyance, between the time punter gives it to her to take to the pimp and the time pimp gets it. in 1980
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-14#1737815 and yet... ceausescu TOOK the driver's gasoline ? which they naturally had, somehow,
as their birthright ?
☝︎ mircea_popescu: students had the speech ? in the sense of what everloving shit, like reddit and wikipedia, that's what's contemplated here, ceausescu prevented the idiots from running r/btc
as they wanted to ?
mircea_popescu: rubberized wellingtons make sense. not
as leisurewear, but legit work garb.
