copypaste: OK. I did !register but !up tells me I have to have

mircea_popescu: copypaste you know it'd be
a great idea to make and register
a gpg identity, that way you won't have to lose your identity
copypaste: i own 8ch.net. i was here before, maybe when it was called 8chan.co, on
a different nick.
decimation: heh there are amusing layers here > "In 1854, when sculptor Thomas Crawford was preparing models for sculpture for the United States Capitol, Secretary of War Jefferson Davis (later to be the President of the Confederate States of America) insisted that
a Phrygian cap not be included on
a Statue of Freedom, on the grounds that "American liberty is original and not the liberty of the freed slave". "
☟︎ mircea_popescu: is that up top
a frigian gynecologist's cap with candles ?
decimation: cities pretend they have culture, schools pretend to education. all because some derp scribble some shit on
a canvas
decimation: note the difference between merely possessing and engaging - "Yeah I have
a chunk of that roman temple, it's my birdbath"
decimation: "Referring to the Dogarus, Mr. Oberlander-Tarnoveanu said, "It seems they were not very honest, because apparently
a lot of members of the family had
a long judicial history."
mircea_popescu: decimation mostly quoted for the "
A Romanian forensic expert at work in
a laboratory at the National History Museum in Bucharest." running... windows.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: No, he linked to articles mentioning
a Vancleef who was the same Vancleef in the CFTC hearings
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform: "assumes that usa will occupy self with same army - and same aimlessness - with which it occupied iraq. this is not
a proven fact." << lemme guess... they have
a meta army in reserve, just haven't been using it because reasons ? << Nah, most "officers" same just Iraw army aged out

mircea_popescu: im pretty certain more russians identify with
a femen-centered-reality than with
a stalin centered one.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo just saying, once he publishes it on his blog, that's that, no qntra. << Sure. Maybe it is
a congitive bias of myself, but I assume persona; wordfests would always get the best Tips and Tricks (TM firstest)
mircea_popescu: it may also be that distinctness is
a flavour of tradition, and no tradition survived ww2.
decimation: the wehrmacht made good use of their 88mm guns for
a variety of purposes
decimation: mircea_popescu: the reason distinctness and stupidity are married is because social democracy sucks anyone with half
a brain out of his native soil and places him in bureaucracy
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 02:09:20; decimation: williamdunne: it's not that I'm
a hater on asian folk, just that it doesn't have
a distinct 'englishness' anymore
mod6: I'm having
a bit of ssh pubkey auth issues again.
mod6: Alright I've got
a Gentoo AMD64 uclibc hardened booted successfully. I basically just had
a few minor tweaks to make to the notes; i.e., uclibc version doens't install grub by default, there is no /etc/locale.gen by default. That kinda thing.
decimation: "Everybody in Chicago has what is--three and
a half million people in the metropolitan area and $35 billion, like three thousand dollar [?] endowment sitting in the basement of this museum."
decimation: becuase it would be unethical to sell one to
a museum in grand rapids so they could display it
decimation: so apparently most of the monets in the us are sitting in
a vault in chicago
decimation: "'? Guest: Any museum--I'm paraphrasing--it basically says any museum that sells art for any purpose for any purpose other than to buy more art--so it's okay if you have three paintings by Painter
A and none by Painter B and you like Painter B and you sell an
A painting and buy
a B painting. That's okay. But if you ever sell out of the collection for any purpose other than more collecting, then other museum directors are forbidden by
decimation: This was in the context of
a conversation about art museums. apparently it is forbidden for any art museum to contemplate selling any of their art
decimation: "But the one thing it seems to me that economists wake up--if you wake them up in the middle of the night and say, 'Hey, what's the most important thing?' They will say, 'Marginal cost pricing.' That the way to make

a successful (small time) landlord. | Contravex:
A blog by Pete Dushenski ... (

mircea_popescu: and exactly for the reason stated : if you're
a slight prize, you get the best crop of tenants competing for you. if not... you're stuck rooting through the bottom of the barrel.
menahem: pete_dushenski is
a pimp. love that guy.
menahem: yea by 21 it's almost old. like
a pair of worn in pants or something. still useful, but not new.
menahem: ahh, getting drunk the first time as
a teen. good memories.
mircea_popescu: the 2nd is pretty bad throughout, sort-of
a lawrence of arabia made by first time drunk teenagers
mircea_popescu: the first's only vaguely notable because it depicts
a marginal us (in the 70s) running everything on chicken shit
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 01:59:16; williamdunne: Maybe I could try and one-up them and climb up into the mountains for
a few years and carve
a guide into
a stone tablet.
mircea_popescu: shit, i go watch
a couple bad marty feldman movies, the log runs off
BingoBoingo: People who have been fumbling in their own WoT simply trying to come up with
a useful code signing tool. Ideal, no. Useful, maybe. MP continues his Bob Beck fatwa? Well, MP never really ends those in practice.
BingoBoingo: Well, the libsodium thing. Yes distasteful. Used though only for signing and verifying. Pretty sure we had
a short convo about how similar "reop" sucked. Far from ideal, then again ideal needs new silicon.
assbot: Logged on 13-05-2015 02:00:08; BingoBoingo: williamdunne: They sign things too, but... For their own use in releases they have
a GPG alternative because GPG licensing violates part of their license purity directive. Dunno how good it is , but sometime hetrogyny is insteresting.
pete_dushenski: "Carissa Yip from Andover, Massachusetts earned the title last month and also became the youngest to ever to defeat
a grandmaster, Alexander Ivanov, during the New England Open in 2014." << ok. she's good.
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: I'm scared to thing how much more that last property would sell for as
a bare lot
decimation: yeah, good point, plus if it's
a dumb terminal it wouldn't add any value
decimation: pete_dushenski: amusingly it is my understanding that the central americans have nearly completely displaced certain construction trades, to the point that it is nearly impossible for
a regular white (or black) person to work on
a 'framing team'
assbot: Logged on 12-05-2015 23:38:48; mod6: To begin with, I was completely unfamiliar with gentoo in any sense -- aside from once trying to set it up from the Handbook, which I found that I didn't have time to work my way through and get it set up properly. So my goal was to get familiar with Gentoo and to start to build
a system that can be agreed upon that suits our needs for building bitcoind.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform that's hardly
a common definition in north america. why ? sprawl. no geographic boundaries to contain construction from going horizontal rather than vertical.
assbot: Logged on 12-05-2015 23:23:27; gabriel_laddel: his(their) ability, to develop the practice of medicine in accordance with reality. Being subject to the prejudice and technical limitations of the times is inescapable (the notion of "humors" may have made more sense without knowing of chemical reactions). The notes on the constitution of

decimation: how much does

assbot: Logged on 12-05-2015 22:05:41; mircea_popescu: "here i sit in
a prefab vinyl siding plebhousing unit, burning
a 50 dollar bill" ?
decimation: as
a usian, I had to pretend that $1=1gbp or else I wouldn't eat anything
pete_dushenski: decimation the food in london, at least on
a middling budget, was lackluster. or perhaps the museums and architecture just overshadowed the cuisine.
williamdunne: Isn't being in the US
a dis-qualifier from the get go?
decimation: williamdunne: it's not that I'm
a hater on asian folk, just that it doesn't have
a distinct 'englishness' anymore
☟︎ BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski> BingoBoingo think qntra would be
a suitable platform for trinque's openbsd router guide ? << Would require consulting with the other equity partners on deciding if we will do how-to's or how to do them
williamdunne: I'm not from here by birth, nor are my parents. But yeah, some nutjobs in Cornwall want to be an independent country. Ignoring the fact that they actually qualify for
a european regional development fund
williamdunne: decimation: Not my sorta thing personally. I'm still pissed off about the cliff collapsing and fucking up the trains for
a couple of months

a suitable platform for trinque's openbsd router guide ?
