asciilifeform: and i appreciate mircea_popescu firing death rays at the enemy !

asciilifeform: (YES i appreciate folks testing, cleaning up, etc. ! don't feel sad !)

asciilifeform: in practice i'm stuck doing pretty much 100% of the ab-initio b-a stuff.

asciilifeform: in principle.

asciilifeform: and so far we have... what we have.

asciilifeform lets.

asciilifeform: i wish this were not so, but so far afaik the set of folks who understand everything from galois theory to O(..) runtimes to sdram bus timings includes 1) mircea_popescu 2) asciilifeform .

asciilifeform: Pet The Manul. (tm) (r)

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: i never did either, before we began.

asciilifeform: and mircea_popescu will ahve to write code himself.

asciilifeform: and at some point my health will give out and we will have 0.

asciilifeform: this is why i say that presently we have 1.

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: if you have to ask...

asciilifeform: i'll read and test it , i promise.

asciilifeform: or write the motherfucking code yourself, why not

asciilifeform: ok then birth five spare alfs if you need them for all time.

asciilifeform: and mircea_popescu is entirely welcome to answer 'you SAY you could do X if you were free, but i know that you're a tard! so you could not POSSIBLY do X!11 haha' and i will be powerless to prove him wrong.

asciilifeform: thread was not answer to mircea_popescu, who i think gets it, but earlier folks.

asciilifeform: or at least see how much water it can eat..

asciilifeform: next take your diesel generator and persuade it to run on water.

asciilifeform: if middle-class.

asciilifeform: so clearly mircea_popescu is paying him too much !11

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-03-2016#1428905 << why not try & persuade him to move to botswana and eat some of his children so he can charge 1k. ☝︎

asciilifeform: and yes, it was pre-iran

asciilifeform: aha but i hauled 4 ton through city traffic. about same joules...

asciilifeform: i'm a subject of hitler.

asciilifeform: WORLD

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i hauled it 3km in 2014 with own hands and spent more on ~petrol~.

asciilifeform: but this is not a very interesting discussion. would you have it with, e.g., your lawyer?! ask him what pieces of furniture he could do without, so as to charge less?!!

asciilifeform: health is still ~1k/mo.

asciilifeform: discussion involving 'downshifting' is waste of my time and of everybody else's.

asciilifeform: roquefort is not any cheaper in mi than md.

asciilifeform: and eat roomtemp-stable cheese? fuck that

asciilifeform: ick

asciilifeform: where PeterL lives? mongolia?

asciilifeform: no.

asciilifeform: climate-controlled.

asciilifeform: i think this sums it all.

asciilifeform: and my library.

asciilifeform: and nonrecycled food

asciilifeform: and quiet.

asciilifeform: but do need a fair bit of floor space

asciilifeform: i dun need a studio.

asciilifeform does not like to waste bandwidth but generally answers folks when they ask things.

asciilifeform: someone asked for this number? i gave.

asciilifeform: price of not having to look for work for a year, hypothetically.

asciilifeform: it is accurate.

asciilifeform: but what diff does it make.

asciilifeform: i gave pricetag!

asciilifeform: but as it stands i have about 1/10th of my strength to give.

asciilifeform: but i don't have enough lsd to do that thread again.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 1/2 y of FULL time.

asciilifeform: am posting from it now.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: well i know what a cage is, and that i live in one.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu , who IS free man, can sit down & write mpcoin.

asciilifeform: as i said to the lsd folks, if i were free man, there would be a solid weapon in 1/2y - 1y. BUT this is a flight to alpha centauri, because i am NOT a free man.

asciilifeform: не шагу назад (tm) (r)

asciilifeform: if the alternative ever consists wholly of surrender- then yes.

asciilifeform: how ~much~ of it i get to do before dead, i cannot now say.

asciilifeform: i think i explained what i personally intend to do.

asciilifeform: it, as i said before, is our shipwreck plank.

asciilifeform: no, that's more or less my whole adult life to date.

asciilifeform: work for 20 y or until dead to kill them all.

asciilifeform: i prepare for many things. but i also use everett's device. so i do not prepare for surrender and cocksucking ignominy.

asciilifeform: anyway i did not jump, assumed lsd.

asciilifeform: nope?

asciilifeform: the 1,2,3,might have to choose thing

asciilifeform: had that muscle removed (tm)

asciilifeform: i never panic.

asciilifeform: but yes, i would like to have the horse.

asciilifeform: it is like saying 'you conceded in a game of chess when you were 5, why not concede your father's house'

asciilifeform: see the schelling point thread.

asciilifeform: new - t. rex

asciilifeform: well, old cock was gnat-sized.

asciilifeform: and i will not spread arse for invader, and am not open to persuasion re same, hopefully this needs no further elucidation

asciilifeform: so here it is.

asciilifeform: what did mircea_popescu expect me to suggest?

asciilifeform: archaeologists will, possibly, find it.

asciilifeform: but at my pace it will take 20y.

asciilifeform: i will maintain trb, while 1,001 things incl. writing mine.

asciilifeform: no.

asciilifeform: but i will not fellate the invader.

asciilifeform: if trb gets chainclobbered - it is 2009 again for us.

asciilifeform: the set of available actions is small, and, i think, well-enumerated at this point.

asciilifeform: stalin - understood.

asciilifeform: surrender is not a strategy. ☟︎

asciilifeform: would rather eat nagan.

asciilifeform: but i will not spread legs for the nazis.

asciilifeform: but it will mean that bitcoin died, perhaps to be reborn in~our~ planet

asciilifeform: yes.

asciilifeform: NOR permit his dirty hands to further rape bitcoin src.

asciilifeform: i will NOT be complicit in a reallocation of chainvalue to the enemy.

asciilifeform: l0l i'm getting ~50 baud here

asciilifeform: and it is NOT the same.

asciilifeform: but i did say what i WON'T, under any circumstance whatsoever, be part of.

asciilifeform: i'm fine with 'also'

asciilifeform: martians stole it ?

asciilifeform: and where did trb go ?

asciilifeform: and give NO quarter to satan.

asciilifeform: a usg fork exists to enrich usg. and i will have NO part in it.
