mircea_popescu: they're not good cures for
them.
they used
to be, good cures, for other peoples, which
they are not.
that's it.
mircea_popescu: so no, i'm not advocating anyone put lead acetate on his sprain. nro am i implying some sort of evil conspiracy is keeping
the good people from
the good cures.
ben_vulpes: i recall some quality lolz around "poor american blax are violent because
their pipes are lead and
this inhibits impulse control and intelligence generally"
mircea_popescu: and no, obama didn't do
this.
the problem was already manifest
two centuries ago, in
the sense
that it's entirely possible beethoven went deaf (a major early symptom of saturnism) due
to drinking wines sweetened with
the stuff. which was already illegal back
then, but
then he was a miser.
mircea_popescu: this doesn't mean
the benefits aren't present ; nor does it mean
their costs are universal costs. it's just what it is.
mircea_popescu: for
them, any bit of lead is
toxic, because
thye are already overwhelmend by lead-rich environment. and so for
them, it doesn't make sense
to use lead acetate for sprains, because
the costs exceed
the benefits.
mircea_popescu: now,
the fact is
that lead is also legally unavailable
today.
this is not necessarily sorosconspiraci : orcs with very low passive environmental exposure may very well afford a little bit of lead sugar now and again for a sprain. nevertheles, "civilised" ie overexposed pantsuits can nor afford such a
thing.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: there are
two classes of indisputable facts. one is
that yes, lead acetate is effectual against sprains.
the other is
that yes, lead in any form is
toxic.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
to make
this matter plain as i suspect it has ample potential for misunderstanding :
Birdman: the incorrect syntax apparently being
the second quotation mark here print "{0}, {1}, {2}".
jhvh1: Birdman:
The operation succeeded.
Birdman: !~later
tell mike_c im getting a sintaxerror: incorrect syntax on line 26
mike_c: I'm off for
the night. but above instructions should get you running it.
mike_c: then from
the command line, run "python file_you_made.py c:\hands"
mike_c: Birdman - yes, unzip
the files
to some directory. Say it's "c:\hands"
Birdman: mike_c on windows i
think i needed
to save it as a '.pyc' which makes it a compiled python file,
though it says 'runtimeerror: bad magic number in .pyc file'
mircea_popescu: it's either
that or lead acetate. which of course you can't buy (anymore)
a111: Logged on 2017-08-18 04:57 mircea_popescu: crazy
thing from c1 (or 2 ? i forget ?) xapo dude was on
the way
to lavish mp picked restaurant, stops on street
to buy who
the fuck knows what inedible fast food "because hungry".
mircea_popescu: in other lulz : girl
turned her ankle, i had her slathered in mustard. girl now enticingly like bacon.

☟︎ ben_vulpes: i don't know shit about horseflesh but
they were nice
too
ben_vulpes: i was impressed with what little i saw of argentine food
that
the argentines didn't have
the opportunity
to screw up
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes you can't beat ro/argentine cherries. for one
thing, a gallon is like 8 bux. for
the other
thing,
that gallon is like 5% pits.
☟︎ phf: what i don't get is why neither party put BOTH SIT AND COVER down, which is sort of
the whole purpose of
the contraption.
mircea_popescu: no,
they are not. i just got maraschino cherries in a bag!
ben_vulpes: but hey,
the strawberries and cherries are great
mircea_popescu: how fucking dare
they. $100 fine + day docked for chick
that fails
TO PUT SEAT BACK UP.
ben_vulpes: which reminds me, i was in $bezzlecorp's offices
the other week and found
these hysterical signs in
the degendered bathrooms reminding folks
to put
the seats down.
ben_vulpes: that is what we have and
that is what nobody wants.
Birdman: mike_c
thanks very much! one last question
though as im pretty illiterate: i downloaded python for winbl0wz, i save
that
text in
the paste
to a
text file with name, i run python get
the command line, what would i
type from
there specifically? also do i need
to unzip files
to run it on?
ben_vulpes: and
the "what"
that "we" have is, well, you know
the haircut
that screams "everything offends my delicate intersectional sensibilities" from a block away?
ben_vulpes: all me
to clarify
that by we i mean "here", miserable socialist hellhole of
the pnw
mircea_popescu: but let us drive
the inquiry. why won't we want what you have ?
ben_vulpes: and in
the morning i will still be a married man
☟︎ mircea_popescu: phf me either, but he keeps pretending as if, so what's it cost
to believe.
phf: ah, yes, we need one of
those. i didn't realize
they had
them in portland
ben_vulpes: lol nothing so so. one of
the sheguests
ben_vulpes: was
this like an entire days worth of prep
that guestbae could not assist with?
mircea_popescu: tell her i said
that,
too,
that way i'll know why lanky russian chick i never met is
throwing knives at me in social setting later on.
mircea_popescu: it's only gruel if all she gets is bitch kibbles from a doggy dish under
the
table!
phf: but i can't brag, because in
the upside down
tmsr world, i now find having one girl cooking
the whole meal a form of cruel and unusual punishment.
mircea_popescu: why do you eat your guests phf,
that's not respectable or civilised.
phf: i can't even
think about food, we had guests..
mircea_popescu just got
through making goat buttermilkj marinade for cow
tongue for girl's barbecue
tues. pray for me
that it works, because a)
they never had cow
tongue and b)
they never saw diary marinade and generally c) pretty suspicious side glances all around.
mike_c: but hey, wish in one hand and do some work in
the other
mike_c: some
things are good. client is running, bots are working, goats are being shipped.
mircea_popescu: mike_c what's
tmsr look like from
the vantage of 18 months ?
ben_vulpes: mike_c's horrified refusal
to believe
that shit could be so bad
ben_vulpes was just recalling
the c3 memory fragging arguments
jhvh1: mike_c:
The operation succeeded.
mike_c: !~later
tell Birdman ^
mike_c: !!later
tell Birdman ^
mike_c: save
that
to a file called 'whatever.py'
phf: i wouldn't be surprised if Chernov likewise welcomed clang (not gnu!!) and all other kinds of own hole digging, until
the overwhelming suckage SUDDENLY manifested in everything
phf: i wasn't a rich imperialist at
the
time, but freebsd was quite pleasant on a 300mhz amd, i used it as main os for a long
time, until, yeah, 2002 or so.
this is also when i switched
to mac os x, which was perhaps a mistake. i suspect
these people made
their own deals with devil
phf: yeah,
that's what it looks like :o
phf: he was also one of
the freebsd core developers, worked on
the original USSR<->world isp, etc. i've seen him couple of
times,
though never spoke. he was friends with
the guy who
taught me how
to computer, so periodically would show up
to moscow state
phf: a festival/burning man equivalent would be one of
those "solar shower" bags
mircea_popescu: so he bought btc in 2014. his job is
to lose it
to his betters, nothing else.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: pro
tip : nobody has any incentive
to help fucktarded nobody on a stick keep his unearned and unwarranted claim
to importance.
☟︎ phf: i like how
tropical bathrooms are usually made as a sealed concrete boxes (i guess mediterranean variation would have nice
tiles on
top, like a greek bathhouse or hamami). no hidden crevices for mold, etc. BUT probably also better for any kind of situation
that requires iron rings in walls
mircea_popescu: i can't find
the
trilema article illustration with
the
three girls under cold water but inserted by reference.
☟︎ phf: bidet is definitely an important one, but i'm not sure what
the iron rings in wall are for
phf: ah, i was
trying
to relfect on bathroom equivalent of physiognomy
mircea_popescu: how many girls fit in
the shower ? bidet ? iron rings in wall ? etc.
