mircea_popescu: well, narrower than that : london no longer wishes to be taxed ; the eu will survive
as a bureaucracy, sure, but what else.
diana_coman: plenty; what I was trying to figure out was why do those specific things seem so extraordinary to you
as they are not (yet perhaps) extraordinary around Europe I'd say
diana_coman: fwiw raw milk can be had even in the uk and no, it's not terribly expensive/commando mission sort of thing; still, I wouldn't list that
as some proof of sanity or anything

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-06-05#1666045 << the way the lizards expect the shit to work is exactly in the way mp -saves-openbsd worked :
as seen moneyz. recall the story of the us embassy spending a whooping 50k to start an "empire" of fake news tv stations etc ?
mircea_popescu: i agree with you the anyone has serious problems understanding food, architecture, etcetera. but that's about
as far
as it goes.

as he happened to be slovak
mircea_popescu: but should locals end up on the receiving payment for renoir, sure
as fuck they do.
mircea_popescu: (california beach
as in the ny shithole, for the non-natives)
mircea_popescu: anyway, evidently we diverge in how we evaluate biosacks. but that's fine, timisoara could really use some foreign cash inflows
as it is.
mircea_popescu:
as a general rule you don't want personal property registered with the fiatistans.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: but
as a general rule of thumb, whenever a fiat govt is involved, sensible isn't.
mircea_popescu: it can't be had. why the fuck do you think it's dead
as a going concern ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's not worth anything. timisoara is dead
as a going concern, a local detroit.
jessie_: if i do NOT hand out the privkeys, well, i will sacrifice my dick, suicide a couple of days after, but also being acclamated
as the "moar deflation guy" on reddit and gain a lot of karma points
mircea_popescu: jessie_ the obvious approach is to see if playing bottom isn't very satisfying.
as orson scott card well points out, the only way to survive temptation is to yield to it.
BingoBoingo:
As we referred to him watching drunk election returns in 2006 (It was college), The Black Deval
BingoBoingo: For gringo EIRELI requires 150,000 Reals of registered capital to establish, but is reading
as an actually sole proprietor limited liability vehicle. That amount still comes with "plan to employ two Brazialians requirement" but virtual knocking on lawyer doors.
mircea_popescu: jew coverage
as to how this is concerning but doesn't matter and people still give a shit about them abundent enough ?
a111: Logged on 2017-10-24 21:47 asciilifeform: i pictured them
as ro equiv of ukrs approx
mircea_popescu: im serious though, it's likely old slavonic
as a source. certainly not russian import
diana_coman: I had a few colleagues at uni bucharest; re language my observation was that they mixed ro and ru (not words per se but rather languages
as a whole) to such degree that result was at worst not-understandable, at best hysterical indeed; sort of saying "ulita" (because of Russian "ulita" obv) to huge boulevard comes to mind but it's not the only thing
mircea_popescu: very heavily dependent on russian support to continue existing, and ro sure
as fuck doesn't want ANOTHER moldavia on its budget
mircea_popescu: because if you do that, there sure
as fuck won't be any new ones either.
mircea_popescu: moldovans are orcs and not
as romanian
as they'd like, which is why chisinev spoken romanian sounds like embalmed ion creanga.
mircea_popescu: this is because russian isn't
as slavic
as it used to be.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
as far
as the foreigner speaker is concerned, the pons asinorum is mastering the ɨ/i and ə/a dychotomies. takes failure rate from 100% to maybe 60% just liek that. then the dypthongs/tripthongs/quadriphtongs (yes, romanian has that). contrary to intuition, the special consonants are not difficult.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, lol! fwiw I kind of trashed "puiul" to start with: stated that mother-bird was idiot
as she should have either taken chick on her back or otherwise leave earlier ffs
mircea_popescu: this is moar like ww2. whereas parma had regrets in the 1700s
as well.
mircea_popescu: in languages
as well
as fucking, there's no disadvantage in starting directly with the master class.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: will skip from the first syllable of first involved word
as far
as possibly the first sentence stop.
mircea_popescu: "oh, wanna-be mps over at ycombinator can't compete with mp though they really really want to ? I KNOW!!! we'll make all the bars suck and then suddenly the shit-ass parties ycombinator throws won't look quite
as shitty anymore!!1"
ben_vulpes: enshrine even restaurant staff
as local delegates of the inca
mircea_popescu: of course this is never actually ~said~
as such, but i suspect for the same reason priest omits to specify manner and size of wife beating implement.
diana_coman: if you are very curious you might also want to check the publisher: iirc many are in fact published in Chisinau (Moldova) and sold in Ro because cheap compared to local; iirc I saw quite a few books following this route and reflecting it,
as it were
mircea_popescu: there is such a thing
as a phonetic meaning encoding, this item proves.

mircea_popescu: and lulz at mastercard, pretending
as if they've not just one, but a whole fucking NETWORK of developers.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The getting them to distinguish is a difficulty
as well. Apparently the Mandarin/English language duo is not conducive to Brain finesse
as per 2014-ish discussion in pidgins. The Veit Congs were more effective communicators.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo one doesn't help. you gotta mount eight
as per alf's magics, i wouldn't bother.
BingoBoingo: But makes it clear why Netflix tries to plant a cage full of VCRs
as clost to every customer
as possible.

as I see them: orcistan -> poor/undeveloped country; roofless palaces -> warm(ish); abandoned trainstations -> former colony/it was once something; good food + "you'll love Odessa" -> southern style; not enough language-fu -> !USSR; asciilifeform has "things that need to be done there" -> ????? basically this last one is a killer;

☟︎ BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> in other reportage from orcvalhalla: there are
as many mini-casinos here
as banks. << 5 years ago here in Southern Illinois there were few of these, now in most bars and a good chunk of gas stations. Even a few freestanding ones.

as such, or can give out vpsen, which are more productive. perhaps even "shared" if particularily interested into it.
shinohai: I did not change asciilifeform 's functions at all, it was readable
as is. I simply combined all the functions into a single script xD

mircea_popescu: and in other lulz : after failing to produce any footage anyone can be arsed to watch for 20 years running,. hollywood is finally being abandoned to the sufragette politruk brigade.
as a result, amusing pieces like the discovery that jenniffer "nature itself is angry at trump" lawrence got her pussy grabbed by anyone and everyone, including momentary famous kulak harvey weinstein. AND LIKE IT. because yes, she's exactly what
mircea_popescu: sure
as fuck beats "raising" a dog ; and i can readily understand one not wanting to go through genital roulette at the cost of an irreplaceable decade and a reasonably rare million.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> they cost you about 50k to buy, and the rack will run you about 50k for a year. that means your yearly budget is about 100k, roughly. << This is roughly my impression. 50k colorent, 40-70k-ish hardware, 35-ish k physical presence so

☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes a) you're not going to make money renting space
as such. this wasn't even in the original design, i've nfi why you added it in.
BingoBoingo: That's the suspicion, but still likely useful
as part of journey to second passport

☟︎☟︎ lobbes: ultimately my fault for labeling the subtotals
as 'totals'
mircea_popescu: the thing, is, no-one ever accepts any of the alts other than
as a bitcoin derivative.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Described self
as datacenter
diana_coman: hm, it sees it/reports it fine
as far
as I can tell; pl2303 attached to ttyUSB0; ehci_hcd
mircea_popescu: and here's a bit of an evolutionary biology mindbomb : since the ability to distinguish one's own sons from other's sons is positively selected in males, it is altogether probable males have developed the ability to recognize their own spawn
as such.

as ascii_in_orcland.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's same generation
as my mainbox E350 but slower. E350 vulnerable to high block processing times even with 31337 SSD attached
BingoBoingo: One cannot simply assume a world in 2017 without jbweld, much
as one cannot assume a world in 1800 without procelain tile
diana_coman: I think there'll be some crypto play in this house, lol; tbh
as a child this part of "secret" messages was terribly fun even
as idea only
diana_coman: asciilifeform, good idea actually; I suspect he needs more play with the whole point of throwing coin
as it is ; part of what was difficult was precisely the "but why do you want to do that?"
diana_coman: phf, quite; basically "white squiggles" from his point of view atm really; he noticed the letters, yes, because those he recognises
as symbols but otherwise in any case, screws and cables way more interesting
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding that this is the 1900s, whereas peopel routinely travelled large distances in the cold and ate just five five centuries prior, and before that. because a) the cart of the time was intended
as and functioned
as a whole-family-mover, which is exactly how oregon trail happened ; and because the grain->bread and corn->mamaliga cycle permit something to the tune of 2mn calories per ton, ie enough to feed a family o
ben_vulpes: in tangential lulz, one of the "children rescused in fbi child trafficking sting", touted
as an "18 month old, rescued from sex trafficking!" was in fact hooker's baby and is now a state ward
