pete_dushenski: i'm currently giving 'foundation training'
a go. basically simplified yoga to specifically counter the effects of sitting at

☟︎ chetty: wear
a wrist brace while you are using
a computer

a few spanish
a few azn some people from africa (as opposed to us blacks)

a decade or so ago it was undergoing "revival", they had all these plans to attract "artists" and gentrify the area.
mats: its not terrible, mostly
a hispanic and south-east asian almost-ghetto nao
pete_dushenski: mats:
a sabbatical, nice ! and from personal experience, carpal tunnel is definitely
a hindrance.
mats: ha. i'll probably move to
a shithole like Lowell (for the low rent), and read
a mountain of books
mats: pete_dushenski: notrly. i'm actually thinking about taking six months to
a year off, my carpal tunnel has been getting worse recently so the timing may be fortuitous after all
mats: nope... that's
a hobby
mats: i did
a mix of front and back office IT support
mircea_popescu: anyway, egypt still has an ancient network of clean water canisters, as
a public service,
a day's walk away from the others
funkenstein_: 72 hrs is the commonly stated lifetime of
a person without water
mircea_popescu: all it takes is
a will to stay alive, which pointedly includes the will to drink your blood if ity comes to it.
mircea_popescu: for one thing, newton did not have
a clean water supply.
mircea_popescu: i'm not going to call it
a syllogism. what if you don't know you're missing x ? what thrones of china you're missing that you never had ?
gabriel_laddel: <funkenstein_> if you are missing
a good water supply you are also not going to be the next satoshi << ;; google east asian malnutrition IQ
Adlai: mircea_popescu: the exact words have long since succumed to neoconservative GC, but something to the tune of "something is funny when it surprises the listener in
a manner which makes sense in retrospect, but the speaker knew in advance was unexpected"
Adlai: the interview consisted of
a single question: "what is humor?"
funkenstein_: schiesse, now i've gone and stepped in
a can of worms haven't i
Adlai: what is intelligence, though? maybe "likeliness of being the next satoshi" is
a good starting point for
a better definition
funkenstein_: there's
a difference between an environmental and
a causal agent.
funkenstein_: if you are missing
a good water supply you are also not going to be the next satoshi
gabriel_laddel: "and of course, if you are missing
a few chromosomes its unlikely you will be the next satoshi"
funkenstein_: and of course, if you are missing
a few chromosomes its unlikely you will be the next satoshi
gabriel_laddel: funkenstein_: do you agree that memory is
a component of intelligence?
funkenstein_: gabriel_laddel, no i can't get
a dog to pass the BC calc test but that is hardly
a proof of causation
pete_dushenski: "Wait, you're doing
a warrant check on me before I can report
a robbery? Oh yeah, we gotta know who you are before we take
a complaint. You and everyone you’re living with? What’s your address again? You still want to report that robbery?"
decimation: asciilifeform: note that there is going to be
a very large flight of WWII aircraft over the national mall today
thestringpuller: I'm starting to think everytime you kill
a Gavin-esque zombie, it's already infected 10 innocents which then become zombies.
chetty: Whatever the technical issues on block size, the danger of letting pretty much one person drive
a change should be obvious
danielpbarron: "I don?t really have
a strong opinion on block size either?but if we?re going to do
a hard fork, let?s use this as an opportunity to create
a good process for hard forks (which we?ll inevitably need to do again in the future)." << leave it up to these guys and the 21 million cap will be lifted in
a matter of years
cazalla: i'm on the lower end of the totem pole here, not so bad to realise such
a thing though
gabriel_laddel: IMHO, the differences between #b-
a and /pol/ are many. /pol/ doesn't like it when they're censored and complains about how unfair things are. MP, and ascii both look ahead and see the need for WoTnet. MP commissions it out of pocket.
☟︎ cazalla: and when i tried to discuss Bitcoin with them i was accused of being
a JIDF shill
cazalla: i guess the difference is that /pol/ assigns the problems cause by an individual to the group whereas #b-
a does not
assbot: Logged on 06-05-2015 04:04:38; mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how would you feel if you had to live in
a place where nobody used words longer than 4 letters ?
cazalla: i spent much more time there before i found #b-
a cazalla: missus had
a cry too because he hits her
cazalla: nothing worse than drinking enough to get tired and going to bed but not enought to knock you out cold so you get back up for
a bit more youtubing and maybe
a little mfc
cazalla: miss
a day of #b-
a? need
a note from your dr
gribble: artifexd was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 2 weeks, 1 day, 13 hours, 17 minutes, and 7 seconds ago: <artifexd> I'm comfortable calling it
a review. Not just of what it is but what it was and how it got to where it is.
cazalla: not
a single indian or asian cunt in the crowd
cazalla: feels like
a million miles away from the monitor
cazalla: fkn logs hard to read with
a drunken costanza squint
gribble: You rated user phantomcircuit on Tue Feb 10 15:24:55 2015, with
a rating of -10, and supplied these additional notes: Aka Patrick Strateman. That he has the unmitigated audacity to pretend he is
a Bitcoin dev is unsurprising for the history of this felon. His name is permanently besmirched by one of the most inept frauds in the history of Bitcoin (Bitcoinica). He is also famous for (1 more message)
gribble: (eauth <nick>) -- Initiate authentication for user <nick>. You must have registered
a GPG key with the bot for this to work. You will be given
a link to
a page which contains
a one time password encrypted with your key. Decrypt, and use the 'everify' command with it. Your passphrase will expire in 10 minutes.
gribble: Error: "googe" is not
a valid command.
mircea_popescu: !rate phantomcircuit -10 One of the Bitcoinica scammers. Also famous for having sent the whole userbase the emails of the whole userbase back when he was running some derpy "exchange" thing. Altogether the lowest sort of scum infesting Bitcoin - whenever you interact with him god kills
a kitten.
cazalla: seeing the missus and kid 24/7 again drives one to crack open
a bottle or two
cazalla: drinking? i don't drink as much as i did before my short stint working, but now back at home each day, figured why not have
a drink tonight
cazalla: as
a kid, some friends and i use to go around collecting cans, weekends were best after local cricket.. stuff some and in there for extra weight and earn yourself $2 for
a bag of lollies

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: wavy's quote is "holy shiFt of bs" if it makes
a difference.
