asciilifeform: ( if it's shortwave -- i'll say right nao, it won't work, and the chinese 'up-converter' box -- defo wontwork )
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751176 << nah, too complex and therefore frail system like that. simply : host ALL sigs for ALL things yourself ; let the urls be known publicly and don't change them. << This works. Having the redundancy is a good thing too. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: "not hosting your sigs" is therefore a low level "can't be bothered to rate but still dun like you" sorta hostility

mircea_popescu: it IS better soap than synthetic, but it also doesn't keep as well. so...
mircea_popescu: nazis didn't make bank on slave labour either.

a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 23:16 mircea_popescu: the fundamental problem of eg, india, where everyone aborts girls because they don't want to pay for their raising to the level where they can be married ~because the trade value of the she-cow is NOT ENOUGH~ is really the fundamental problem of humanity : yes the cost of living went up, but the price of a head of cattle, or a goat, OR A WOMAN as such didn't go up. it went down. it's much cheaper to buy an ox now, either in s
asciilifeform: nope. (tho they are sold widely here. but can't bring meself to eat ameriburger at all, not after the 1st one)
mircea_popescu: i don't have time to think
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751171 << aside from FZ's not being structs any longer, there shouldn't be much that you can't fix with search+replace ☝︎

mod6: Shouldn't be too bad anyway.
a111: Logged on 2015-12-16 02:46 mircea_popescu: !rate TheNewDeal 2 Put a decent chunk of change into the Bitcoin Foundation back when it wasn't fashionable yet.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: The paranoid one who wanted to put coins somewhere safer than he could keep them started with a t, will dig
mod6: well, nevermind. suppose that won't work. anyway, there is some groundwork laid.
mircea_popescu: and yes it does mean you'll have to buy meat "you don't want". fuck you, survivalism.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 16:53 mircea_popescu: i guess if all the "exclusive gated community" schmucks weren't so schmucky thery could have a delegated hunter, get your steak in the mail by 10am.
jhvh1: asciilifeform: jurov was last seen in #trilema 1 week, 2 days, 10 hours, 33 minutes, and 45 seconds ago: <jurov> mod6: ben_vulpes: have you decided about forked coins on foundation's address? should i report them, or sell, or they don't exist?
diana_coman: although to be honest I wouldn't have defined it as notable, hmm ☟︎
mircea_popescu: but hey -- don't like it, be friendlier next time!
asciilifeform: didn't even mostly exist in 19th c
mircea_popescu: 1250rpm max 25 min, 400mm/105mm this isn't even bad
asciilifeform: ( and even it, i suspect, will have to be sold, won't fit in orbit capsule )
mircea_popescu: consider : what makes a bad penis ? that you can rub it all you want and STILL it won't spit out. but what makes a good cunt ? that you can pound it all you want and STILL it won't in any way change. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: you also had to buy the casette tapes, so often we didn't bother, just kept trading like a sort of library service.
mircea_popescu: anwyay, perhaps there's something to alf's hope, in point of fact the criteria was very much "but can't poke the code". that you had to buy cartridges didn't even necessarily land, because evidently if you had some and your friends had some you couldn't play them all at the same time.
mircea_popescu: (decryption key : pregnant woman = cocksucker that didn't)
mircea_popescu: because 6yo will speak whatever the cocksucker that didn't speaks.
asciilifeform: can't remake republic of rome, no. but can still latin.
asciilifeform: ain't this rather like asking latin teacher 'nao go and remake republic of rome!'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1750685 << the problem isn't finding a working one ; fuck, you can prolly MAKE one, and in less time than it takes woman to make you the kid. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i wasn't supposed to "do too much" because "ruin eyes".
phf: it is possible that in those situations they deemed it safer to pacify me with a video game, than to let me roam free. although the thinking was probably more a long the lines of "let this young kinder experience this thing that he won't normally, because the computer he's playing on is otherwise used to design important shit and was smuggled through border by tov. popov on his recent trip to CERN" or somesuch
phf: i've actually tried playing it quite recently, i couldn't get more than 2 screens forward. i've gotten soft with these modern "video games"
mircea_popescu: this wasn't winamp... wtf was it...
mircea_popescu: i don't recall the power ever going out.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman but cluj wasn't slatina. it had... computers and chocolate factory and panties and you know... large campus for all the arab friends.
phf: i don't think i've ever seen a non-working lift in moscow! certainly never two (and there's always two in those 15s) at the same time
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there isn't ; chiefly because the old folk didn't want to think about it and the kids such as me had no idea it even existed. "suspicious of trad houses" hides a lot of meaning.
mircea_popescu: it wasn't even a bad design tbh
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1750661 a better question is why exactly does one want to pacify them. god knows the erect penis is the only item in short supply, why fuck with it. how about instead of spedning a dime to "pacify", spend the dime to buy more acreage ; get them a dog and don't let them back in the house until the dog's not so exhausted it can't stand up. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: at an inner city clinic, you may think you're an independent contractor, but you're really working for The Man (but with no pension.) That's the system. Cut SSI payments and those docs-- and nurses and etc-- don't get paid." on steroids.
mircea_popescu: affiliate. "Hi, this is Bill from Cleveland, and I blame liberals." Son of a bitch, why didn't I think of that. The system not only pays poor people, it employs lots and lots of almost poor people. I'm not saying this is a good thing, or a desirable thing, I am simply stating a fact. Some of these are direct government jobs (e.g. staff down at the SSI office) and some are pretend private sector jobs. If you're a psychiatrist ☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1750654 << well i wasn't proposing it hasta be on ipads obv ☝︎
mircea_popescu: doesn't pay as much as... BingoBoingo you know that line, "it doesn't profit a man nothing to lose his soul for the whole world... but for Wales ??!"
asciilifeform at one time took a stab at reading jefferson, to try to find out what specifically the man subscribed to. but walked away with picture 'was simply prolix d00d who couldn't manage his 'creditcard', nuffintowritehomeabout'
mircea_popescu: you can't cheat rules you don't believe.
mircea_popescu: and THIS is why jefferson advocated nonsense : not because "he was perpetually in debt", but because the style of womenholding he had grown up in and preferred was untenable. which is why he was in debt and also why he was pro silkver and everyhing else : feudal lord wanting to compete with the moderns and discovering he can't, and that the cuntlets dun care.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-12 23:41 mircea_popescu: he doesn't specifically care if it's 1500s german peasant life, ie, outright medieval peonage. just as long.
mircea_popescu: to prove this, i bring the following point : in http://trilema.com/2017/jud-suss/ the lord of swabia complains that the city council won't get him stuff that, by the standards of the empire';s holds in belgrade, would be very modest.
mircea_popescu: so -- yes washington was mega plantor ; yes this is respectable ; no it wouldn't have bought him a set of dandy shirts.
mircea_popescu: IN EUROPE. new world didn't make similar revenue per acre until 1920.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-13 17:18 mircea_popescu: (and yes for MOST of us history, the us president couldn't afford to pay for restaurant meals. fact.)
mircea_popescu: a lot of smarter folk put A LOT more work than i ever did into "modern computing plarform" and didn't get as much out of it.
asciilifeform: i have yet to meet, i think, a d00d worth half a shit on a comp , who didn't grow up with a 8bit micro
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1750682 << in retrospect, regarding the matter cooly and with the disinterest of old age, i can affirm that this is ~the only important and enduring portion of computing as an education tool in my life. it's what feeds eg http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-11#1749457 and everything in between ands up to that : the 6yo mp's discovery that there exists a numeric universe underneath, and that it's t ☝︎☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: between these two i can't discern.
ben_vulpes: the apple tree was a spectacular spot of marketing; doesn't mean the guy lacked in steel.
mircea_popescu: (and yes for MOST of us history, the us president couldn't afford to pay for restaurant meals. fact.) ☟︎
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes not very possible. it's easy to believe that "thank you for your leadersheep" cocksuckers a la mccain and what's-his-name-married-ketchup aren't worth pressing for glue. HOWEVER back when the country was poor and the us president depended on the largesse of european middle class to afford a meal in a decent restaurant, they HAD to have had some folk with mettle
asciilifeform: now that i couldn't know.
mircea_popescu: that's why you don't permit your kids to live in room with "posters" of idiotic pop "legends". let them have roman antiquity decor.
mircea_popescu: mod6 and the thing is, meat age matters IMMENSELY. unless you operate a smoking thing, which fwis is all but unknown in the us, and unless i guess you know how to rot it properly (whicjh again, is nice, but MAYBE once a month sorta thing, like the romeo&juliets), in order to eat a steak shot-this-morning i'd pay, but really i wouldn't eat a "straight from the freezer" steak unless i have to.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i guess if all the "exclusive gated community" schmucks weren't so schmucky thery could have a delegated hunter, get your steak in the mail by 10am. << In old country missouri village of "Town and Country" licenses hunters, but only as far as reducing the traffic hazard posed.
mircea_popescu: i guess if all the "exclusive gated community" schmucks weren't so schmucky thery could have a delegated hunter, get your steak in the mail by 10am. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i shot a grand total of 1 doe. and honestly the excstasy wasn't worth the laundry.
mircea_popescu: yeah. i always was more of the ... how to put this, defensive hunter ? "i don't mind killing things but i really dun wanna carry them" sort.
mod6: I can't imagine trying to hit a fast-flying anything @ 100 yds with a rifle much less a mile and a half.
mircea_popescu: mod6 well you don't want explosive round lol. but anyway, picking the lead out from the pheasant in experience not much worse than eating around the hole in the duck.
mod6: I'd imagine that there wouldn't be much decent meat left after getting hit with a rifle round.
mircea_popescu: some people actually need the extra quarter mile or w/e decoy/caller buys you, but really, healthy human doesn't actually have to need it.
mircea_popescu: but in general -- the duck is harder shooting, because pheasant is dumb as rocks, will let you come close enough to fucking arrow it to death. duck will not. but with modern rifles this isn't a problem.
mod6: I don't have a low-land dog either, no. Definitely need a newf or lab or whatever.
mircea_popescu: mod6 you don't need either decoys or boat. you need an excellent dog, which is the problem.
mod6: Duck is good eating. I don't have all of the equip. for it. Most guys have a lot of decoys and a blind or boat of sorts.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo do. find an upmarket steakhouse, take her for lunch (not dinner) one day at her convenience. this isn't in any sense sexual ; but it is a good idea to leverage the environment to impress upon the help that it is indeed a very good idea to be as helpful as humanly possible.
BingoBoingo: Nah, not actually Braziallian. Don't have the psychadelic hook up... at least not yet.
asciilifeform: ( so long as one doesn't suffer from http://btcbase.org/log/2014-08-30#816570 problem ) ☝︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: asciilifeform managed to pass for troo orc in ro when closing mouth. it isn't hard, with closed mouth
shinohai: So far deviantart search is ..... fruitless. I can't get too many to talk to me yet, its like a sjw site. "Bitcoin is cool, but you trilema people are transphobic"
mircea_popescu: apparently "goodbye" doesn't mean goodbye in EXACTLY the same way no doesn't mean no.
asciilifeform: as it is, i haven't even mustered the givingashit to go there as pure tourist
mircea_popescu: it isn't.
gabriel_laddel: on roof wasn't supposed to be on
mircea_popescu: which doesn't either hire them or is sought by them
mircea_popescu: that's why they're quotas in the first fucking place : undesirable activities, harmful for everyone. if they weren't, they... wouldn't be quotas, holy hell.
mircea_popescu: obviously puţong yao doesn't know what he doesn't know, and consequently his lowly herbivore status remains enviable in his mind only.
mircea_popescu: but as the old saying goes, "if anyobne's selling it, you don't want to buy it".
asciilifeform: 'Warren Buffett has said that the moment one was born in the United States or another Western country, that person has essentially won a lottery. If someone is born a U.S. citizen, he or she enjoys a huge advantage in almost every aspect of life, including expected wealth, education, health care, environment, safety, etc., when compared to someone born in developing countries. For someone foreign to “purchase” these privileges, t
shinohai: I hadn't heard the term "Pink Elephant" in years ... last time was when I got a bunch of bennies to make sobering up from 3 day binge easier.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i wouldn't avise "free agents" to try, that's for damn sure.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> i was always suspicious of this "could not" business. really, you can't ? << Well advised not to. Once started who knows when stopping happens
mircea_popescu: well... kinda the whole point of smoking, neh ? "it just... relaxes me, man" "and how do yo uthink it does that ?" "i don't know, there's some like brain receptors or something"
mircea_popescu: eventually once there's no hidey hole for "i just can't help myself" and no fucking benefit to binging whatsoever... they can./
mircea_popescu: ran into this lots of times, most chicks are smokers, and most "can't" have a smoke like normal people without turning into their old x packs a day habit over time.
