phf: well, i don't exercise
to stay skinny
though, i don't have problems with
that. it's more like
that scene from Highlander, where
they run on
the beach just because
they are ridiculously fit and it feels good. if i don't do any of
these
things, i start feeling like a modern man, slow and broken.
mircea_popescu: at any rate, i also believe in
that whole spqr-esque "korpenkultur" as you call it ; just i'm also scandalously self indulgent.
mircea_popescu: whereas i was in my best shape in my 20s also : i ate steak for breakfast,
three deserts a day, i don't
think i ever went
to bed before ingurgigating 4k calories and i was mostly so skinny, if i laid on my back in swim
trunks i could see my own dick.
mircea_popescu: maybe,
though i am not convinced. gout was originally
the disease of
the corrupt priest.
there's
this very specific
tendency of
the affluent white male
to
turn into a pear.

the sort of lazy asshole who never actually exercises, but i call
the small bits of filling inside unleavened dough/potato dough
that's
then boiled blinyi, and i fill
them with cheese, or meat, or w/e i feel like.
phf:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-02#1692523 << i
think
the need
to exercise is a measure of non-freedom, one of
those activities
that only exists in relation
to wage slavery. like leisure or
tourism or happy hours. i was in my best shape when i didn't work, mostly fucked, climbed abandoned buildings and went for very long walks. now exercise is basically a need in order
to break static friction of sedentary lifestyle. i do

https://archive.is/CSXhd << 'Facebook, Microsoft,
Twitter, and YouTube (Google/Alphabet, Inc) have formed
the Global Internet Forum
to Counter
Terrorism and Amber Rudd is asking
them
to quietly drop end-to-end encryption from
their products.'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not surprising, is it ? ~whole point of fiat corp is
to keep
the lawyers in yachts.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron well, depends if you're willing
to commit or not ; but
this has
to be an afore-the-fact decision. can't be "let's see",
that just causes grief.
phf: what is
that BingoBoingo says, pence in our
time
mod6: it's almost like "shut up and
take my money" in reverse
mod6: Wow, alright. Yeah
that's a few.
mod6: I read
that, yea. Sounds great.
mod6: I'll be doing
the same. :]
mod6: It seems
that many of us are interested in
this project; feel free
to contribute as you can
towards asciilifeform's project goals.
danielpbarron: i don't know
that i'm qualified
to
take lead on such a
thing, as knowledgable on
the subject as i may be. And i have a bad habit of losing
track of projects
that i'm not super confident about
trinque: ftr I have several different gentoo install scripts laying about; iirc folks may have used
them at various points. if
that's in scope for
tmsr gentoo repossession, I'm happy
to contribute
them, and maintain.

a111: Logged on 2017-08-02 16:46 mod6: Is
there a Lord in
this Chamber who would like
to
take project lead of Cuntoo?
This would entail maintaining
the distribution as seen fit for use by
TMSR~, coordination of all
tasks, and general oversight, hosting of packages/source etc?
The Foundation would be willing
to contribute
to
the cost of infrastructure for
this hosting if need be.
mod6: Sure
thing, shinohai.
mod6: Well, at
this point, it's all up for discussion.
Thought it'd be best
to get
this ball rolling.
mod6: I know I would help contribute
to
this project as I can, and I'm sure others will as well.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: but generally, a small "town" in costa rica constists of a coupla strip malls and a bunch of corrugated sheet metal shacks around
them. say orotina or w/e.
mircea_popescu: well depends. you can walk all over san jose, which is you know, about
the size of rancho cucamonga or something. you can also go for a serious walk
through
the numerous national parks, go from cerro alto
to villa mils or somthing if you're up for
the
trek.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: do you walk
to places in cr? or in circles around
the mountaintop of solitude looking for adorable fauna
ben_vulpes: iirc i pulled
the whole shebang down with a wget --give-me-everything-no-seriously-recursive-too so it's a big ??? for me
mircea_popescu: but,
to answer your misshapen general question, "the interest of
the government" is
to maintain public faith in both
the functioning of
the system and
their ability
to control it. whereas
taxes are not a concern,
the operation of
the usg is financed by chinese credit not by domestic
taxation. much like in any other banana republic, which is why greece, or argentina, or etc are so reluctant
to collect
their
tax receipts.
p0nziph0ne: and
they (coinbase) may say we had a major system outage on
that day, was unable
to store
the amount
mircea_popescu: i quoted a coupla items off my class action feed
the other day.
the firehose (ie, unfiltered) easily exceeds hundreds of entries. DAILY. (they have
to be published because any member of
thje class can apply
to court
to be lead plaintiff.)
p0nziph0ne: as long as
taxes and gains from coinbase finally get payed and
the gov is happy, what is
the interest
to give small customer what
they deserve?
they will forget at
the end and dont care
mircea_popescu: you can't see, for lack of
the sight organ, which is a knowledge of
the field.
p0nziph0ne: If Poloniex is unable
to return your
Tokens
to a
third party Account for you after a period of inactivity, Poloniex may report and remit
the
Tokens
to an applicable government agency pursuant
to applicable escheatment or unclaimed property laws.
mod6: you walk a fair amount
though
a111: Logged on 2017-08-02 15:27 phf: put some dill on
them, maybe some sautéed mushrooms
phf: not sure if you want
the floor, but you have it.
phf: "Bitcoin Cash Soars
to $700, Coinbase Customers
Threaten
to Sue (fortune.com)"
phf: put some dill on
them, maybe some sautéed mushrooms
☟︎ phf: yeah, basically, but pierogi (which is polish by
the way, russian "pirog" means pie)
typically have complicated, vegetable heavy stuffing. cabbage, potatoes, etc. pelmeni on
the other hand are specifically meat (beef, even,
though i suppose you can have
them with pork and chicken
too)
phf: mod6: slow start of day. i ate
too much pelmeni last night before bed, so now i'm groggy and don't want
to exercise. it's a vicious cycle!
phf: also it would be handy
to mark some of
the files as
text/plain in nginx so
that browser doesn't autodownload: ltv, lst, cl, lisp, doc
shinohai: I need another ssd
tbh ... mats was kind enough
to fund one for my node some
time ago.

therealbitcoin/stator node.
shinohai: Yeah if he can get his chain
to move enough
to enable depositing it
to an exchange
to dump xD
cazalla: i read roger is giving away free btc so seemed a good
time
to jump back in and pay a bit more attention
cazalla: pretty good, daughter
turned 1 few months back, son is moving
towards 4
shinohai: No one has died afaik ....the best lulz continue
to be printed in Qntra, as befits such
things.
BingoBoingo: "honey delight hybrid" has been
the most prolific producer so far
BingoBoingo has been doing
tomato + garlic aoli + bread = delicious
mircea_popescu: and in other "omfg death by cuteness", i captured a
tiny baby gecko, 2 gram's worth. he's adorbs.
mircea_popescu: that + olive oil pretty much
the only way
to make
tomatoes go down
the
throat in quantity.
BingoBoingo: Eh, feels like I won anyways, at
this point
tomatoes are ripening faster
than I can eat
them
BingoBoingo: Spoiler:
Tomatoes were sparse until Fair had already started and entry deadline passed
BingoBoingo: In other news, agricultural supremacy Phase 1 write up incoming in
the next week or
two.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, at present
the stick exists. Jeff Bezos is asking for it.
mircea_popescu: how
the fuck is he going
to run a socialist soviet with antitrust laws on
the books is anyone's guess.
BingoBoingo: Almost inevitable at
this point. Possibly
this might be
the ONLY actual point of contention between
Trump and Sessions.
BingoBoingo: Trump is going
to have
to hit Bezos with
the
Teddy Roosevelt anti-trust stick, killing
the Amazon Wapo's credibility on
the way
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo amazon buying whole foods check it out. << Yeah, Amazon is headed for a
Trump confrontation
shinohai The Baron
Titsbare approves ......
mircea_popescu: i guess it only goes
to show most spam is done by pointless crap.
phf: (that's what i do, i just also have a bouncer, so it's hard
to see)
phf: a bouncer is a handy exercise in unixology, but you can also reduce
the spam by joining only when you have something
to say, or want
to participate in conversation, and read
the logs
through web otherwise
f1maze: But seriously,
time for me
to unplug and get back
to work. I will get
the bouncer
to help out my spam. Sorry farewell!
