mod6: i don't seem
to have problems with
that either.... at least, i have't had it yet.
mircea_popescu: anyway, a word re
the "new chump
tax drives off
the lot loses 10k value"
thing : it loses 10k of RESALE value. it does not lose 10k of value, ie, your new car still won't need new shocks just because you drove it off lot.
mod6: well, i
think
that it's fun for a day; imagine going port
to port for weeks on end. i
think it'd get
tiring. maybe i'm wrong. *shrug*
mod6: whats
the longest boat
trip you've ever
taken?
mircea_popescu: yes, from a pass/fail perspective brake pad is either broken or isn't. but natura not facit saltus, it gets
there
through a continuous process.
there's no discrete processes above atomic scale.
mircea_popescu: the problem with brake pads is
that under
the heat and shear stress
they microcrystallize.
this makes
them much less useless for
their intended purpose, which is abrasion, and for which
they'd better stay amorphous.
the problem with fiberglass is
that under mechanical stress
they separate, which
then creates fissures and which
then is
the end.
mircea_popescu: we already had
this
thread last week, but you got it like duck gets wet.
the boat hull IS a moving part, and it is moving in such a way
to make plastic ~useless.
mircea_popescu: and,
to a much larger degree in
the car
than in
the fan. and
to a larger still in
the boat
than in
the car.
mircea_popescu: the relevant part in
the fan is
the movement, not
the intimacy.
mircea_popescu: yes but circumstances of
two kinds overlap
to dazzle and confuse your eye.
mircea_popescu: there's ~no mechanical moving parts in computer, and guess what --
the few
that are, you DO buy new.
mircea_popescu: of couse your brotyher isn't going
to stick you with a lemon.
mircea_popescu: i swear
the loony reservation is doing
things
to your head. you ended up baking in us "consumer protection" laws at some level.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sure. when you buy a used electric
transformer, i'll keep my peace.
mod6: asciilifeform: you'd be better of renting a boat if you just wanna have some fun. if you want escape-hatch,
then you escape, buy boat later at where ever with
translator et al.
mircea_popescu can buy used cars. CARS. because i bought and own hundreds. i can't buy fucking used boats, and i doubt you can (or would, or do for
that matter) buy used cars.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: a used item can be worth anything
through mt_rand(0, new)
mircea_popescu: all items coming off
the factory line are worth ~same within a few percents, AND
the whole fucking world is out
there
trying
to figure out FOR YOU, on
their own dime, what
that SAME is.
mircea_popescu: you understand
this ? industrial process offers a guarantee of sameness and conformity, such as it is. natural decay DOES NOT.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-20 14:45 sn0wmonster: do you always do
this?
mircea_popescu: it is a stupid
thing
to do. i don't care what you
think "means never" means.
mod6: the ocean is a desert. i don't
think i could do
that for extended
time.
mircea_popescu: (yet another of ex ro president
traian basescu's harem was finally "found" by
teh ro
tards.
this one is an actual general no less, and organised more parties / ows-likes
than ~anyone in
the us).
shinohai now wonders what
to do with
these naked girls in
the kitchen ....
mircea_popescu: shinohai precesion, yo. by now solstice moved
to late 20th evening.
shinohai: Happy Solstice/day of
there was nothing
to say all along Day !
mircea_popescu: thereby making june 21st
the republican "day of
there was nothing
to say all along" and a holiday.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-20 16:30 phf: scussions, but also any kind of attempt at crypto communication.
there was nothing
to say all along.
mircea_popescu: she could show him her
tits anonymously while carefully hiding her face.
they'd both get more sex and sex alikes mileage out of
the arrangement.
mircea_popescu: are you proposing
that pair of yetis actually look good
to someone ?

Twitter'
a111: Logged on 2017-06-20 20:27 phf: hanno bock is a stand in for "security community", sort of like preet bharara is a standing for american aparatchiks.
they even look
the parts!
mircea_popescu: so in
the same sense kentucky fried chicken isn't "something
that is happening" nor "something you could be part of", neither is "african american" or white, or wmaf or w/e
the shit already.
trinque: curious bot behavior lately.
the
thing has
to be receiving pongs from something, or it'd close and restart.

to action/thought i don't
think i have a good grasp on...)
mircea_popescu:

the other major problem with "race" as a wholly-devoid-of-meaning anglotard subcultural construct is
that... well... it's a brand, see. licenseable, negotiable like any other "negotiable instrument" ie paper money.
there's no substantial difference between "Black & Decker power
tools hecho en Mexico" and "African with
tribal
tatoo made in Chicago" and finally
http://trilema.com/201 ☝︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for as long as
there's slop
trickle in stable, pig won't find
truffles in forest.

the Baseline Requirements document (version 1.4.5, section 4.9.1.1), but I wasn't entirely sure whether
this is considered a key compromise. I asked Hanno Bock on
Twitter
mircea_popescu: amusingly, 1970s parents even had internalised
this whole
thing into daily speech. "don't make me come over
there!"
