mircea_popescu: i guess i'll have to try this now.
mircea_popescu: i don't recall if i ever had macadamia oil or not, either.
mircea_popescu: chetty i imagine so.
cazalla: my missus tries the same shit.. oh i can't remember
mircea_popescu: i dun actually recall.
mircea_popescu: cazalla i have nfi what costco carries.
cazalla: i show you last weeks order
cazalla: the only people i see waddling into the costco here at fat asses
mircea_popescu: i used your deli model in the us, and the cash & carry in ro. it all depends on the place really.
cazalla: i can't imagine for a second that even if costco had this sorta food down under, that it would actually be cheaper or better quality
cazalla: i use australian grown olive oil and macadamia oil
cazalla: for other speciality shit, i use farmhousedirect.com.au
cazalla: i get my meet/veg/fruit from local who supposedly provides australian grown produce (i am not so naive to believe that some scheming fuckers didn't figure out they could import shit from china and just label it grown in australia but what can you do)
mircea_popescu: well costco i never used, but in general cash & carry is where you buy a whole round cheese, that's actually grana padano etc.
cazalla: of course i do
cazalla: nubbins`, doubt they sell what i buy
cazalla: in fact, they have a costco just a few streets away from here, not that i've been.. pay for membership? fuck that, costco drastically underestimates australian refusal to pay for membershits
nubbins`: i'm floored here
cazalla: ty nubbins` fucking power out and i'm too drunk/tired to ferry shit back and forth over usb
nubbins`: i did not have this knowledge last i read it ;/
nubbins`: unrelated, i *just* clued into the mad hatter's hat from TTLG
mircea_popescu: well i dunno lol. i tend to follow.
nubbins`: but i guess you're more of a journey guy than a destination guy, hey
mircea_popescu: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoehorning << notwithstanding the bad grammar, that's one of the more representative wikipedia articles i dare say.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, not many down under, not like i'll ever leave
cazalla: i did work with a short haired ruski chick
assbot: Logged on 20-03-2015 06:30:59; brendafdez: There I fell in love with a Russian girl, it was in 2008, it was awesome that we'd both speak with each other in a language that was foreign for both, felt special, like being in bitcoin these days (?
cazalla: i assume he drinks though given he's back at the parents and god knows they drink
cazalla: in fact, i would harp on to my brother, who i lived with at the time, that he needed to quit drinking
cazalla: i prolly was, only took it up again a month or so before missus had baby
cazalla: of course, i would not be rotting away where i will be monday if i remained sober lol
cazalla: acutally i quit for years, sober as a judge
mircea_popescu: i think i spent about the same.
cazalla: i've prob pissed away 2-3k the past 12-18 months on booze
cazalla: i tried to convince him of such in PM yet.. he convinced me drinking was a good idea (ok not really, not like i need much encouragement)
assbot: Logged on 20-03-2015 06:06:35; BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The worst part is I know this had to have been targetted. Someone had to spend a non-trivial amount of time. I suspect a partcular name and yet...
cazalla: i have nfi, too much to drink
cazalla: seems to be the average, but i dunno
mircea_popescu: i've not been following the internet conversation.
cazalla: i made my bed, so now i sleep in it
cazalla: i thought the naive virginal conservative wife would make for the best mother
cazalla: well i wouldn't know seeing i didn't stick around to find out
cazalla: i dunno, never tried it, she use to steal it from work place
cazalla: dependent on bitcoin, goes up enough, i have a place or two for such women
cazalla: i could've claimed so with the ex gf but not this woman
mircea_popescu: now i understand finally the crazy shit stick on all sides of rifle bit.
cazalla: someone is breaking into my home.. best i call the police to come in 10m time because law does not permit me to own a shot gun to blast the cunt in seconds
davout: "thank you for this kalashnikov, may i have my receipt"
mircea_popescu: anyway, i suppose the difference between "this is slightly annoying' and "this is terrorism" has long been lost.
davout: look, i'm not arguing that because they are annoying and potentially dangerous to aircrafts that gives a justification to anyone to forbid them, simply stating that retards will be retards, and annoy pilots in a sensitive flight phase
Adlai: what [i think] you want is identical answers to whether a transaction is valid
davout: i think you underestimate the danger of having a laser pointed at you when you're doing an approach
mircea_popescu: Adlai i suppose he meant bitwise identical star, to be translated as, same txn
mircea_popescu: pretty much exactly consistent with what i[ve been saying last time we did this laser thing
cazalla: the australian law, at least as i see it, was more them saying, ok you've had your fun but no more of this please
davout: not saying that this is a good reason to forbid lasers, i'm saying they can be pretty dangerous
mircea_popescu: now, mind you, i'm the first to agree the lasers are fucking annyoing and the idiots wielding them need better hobbies.
mircea_popescu: "omaigawd stuffwas illuminated, i totally lost my trtain of thought. o look, unicorns!!1"
davout: mircea_popescu: i hang around a bit on /r/flying, also watched a few vids of ATPs being lasered and yes, it does look pretty dangerous
mircea_popescu: the drones i can actually see.
mircea_popescu: "These gutless and cowardly attacks have to be stopped," he said. "I am preparing a proposal to cabinet to consider making these items a prohibited weapon."
mircea_popescu: i was like omfg australia, large spiders, larger lasers.
cazalla: too many people were all "lulz, i lazered the pilot" here in australia so anything over 1mw.. banned
mircea_popescu: im sure driving a car is pretty awesome to fish, and for the same reason : "mamma mia if i crash this tank im fucked"
davout: i'd tend to agree with asciilifeform, what are all these US police helicopter-chase shows for if not for clearly asserting that "there's nowhere to run" ?
cazalla: the 2 year retention period is sorta bullshit anyway as it's the ISPs who need to keep the data for 2 years, but if a gov dept such as ASIO or the police request that data, they are allowed to keep it forever, so i'm sure they will just request all data so that they can keep it forever (if they aren't already doing it)
assbot: Logged on 19-03-2015 20:22:56; mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-03-2015#1057738 << it is. people (especially people kinda too lazy to study things in depth) have all sorts of theories about privacy and keep pestering me for special addresses etc. it's a fashion is what it is, one i don't aim to encourage, and i'm stuck because w/e, serving teh customer.
brendafdez: if i'm not gonna do anything based on that information atm there's no reason i should care...
cazalla: how about.. i'm trying to read here, do you mind?
cazalla: scary? i won't give him that :)
brendafdez: but we'll get used to it, i hope
BingoBoingo: Nah, I jsut wanna see the hipsters burn
brendafdez: nope, i was presenting male :P
fluffypony: I saw a Cards game in 2010 when I was in St. Louis
BingoBoingo: The best way I can explain baseball aesthetically then is as a dance where every movement holds the entire game at stake
brendafdez: apart from that, i've only travelled briefly to neighboring countries, like uruguay (many times), brazil (once), paraguay (once)
brendafdez: always lived here, yes, except for two months or so i lived in munich bc some stupid institute decided to foot the bill :D
trinque: other than that, I don't know that the US is producing a lot of worthwhile art
brendafdez: Lots to learn, maybe I could appreciate it someday...
BingoBoingo: Oh, I'm not talking about someone who throws the ball the hardest. I mean art. Waino tosses the ball among the most pleasing line.
brendafdez: art is in the eye of the beholder, so I won't dispute that. I would however find it hard to see art in sport. It must be there, but generally I just couldn't care less. When there's a major sports event here, it means 'good time to go outside and take pictures of the empty streets and such'
BingoBoingo: The getting off part is fine. I'm just not much one for the loving part.
brendafdez: not that I have much success with the locals, either...
brendafdez: I need to find a foreign-speaking gf/bf/whatever soon, being with the locals doesn't compare
BingoBoingo: I've always found German the hottest when I though the Girl might bake me
brendafdez: I was still a teenager, so you can't blame me ;)
brendafdez: I could never bring myself to like them, but I liked bands that were such crap
brendafdez: There I fell in love with a Russian girl, it was in 2008, it was awesome that we'd both speak with each other in a language that was foreign for both, felt special, like being in bitcoin these days (? ☟︎
brendafdez: it was an enjoyable experience when I lived in Germany for a brief period, a couple of months, just getting to speak the local language gave me the thrills (I'm weird, I know :P)
brendafdez: dunno, but even just for the language id like to go. I mean it's weird for me speaking english so much in the internet, and never having been to an en speaking place.
brendafdez: tbh, I doubt I'd be able to get a US tourist visa even, at the moment
BingoBoingo: I actually kinda want to visit the phillipines before argentina
BingoBoingo: I need a way out
trinque: I drove through there moving to the pacific nw
BingoBoingo: I've lived through a warm midwestern spring already where you can smell the pigshit on the beanfields. Not a thing to relive voluntarily
BingoBoingo: I live very close to fields I am prolly lost in that way already
BingoBoingo: brendafdez: Well, I'd have to get further south than Mexico. They might want me for lab work
BingoBoingo: Some years I am surrounded by Corn, the others soybeans
brendafdez: I mean
brendafdez: I'm not sure if 'not at all' conveys the whole meaning of my degree of ignorance
