BingoBoingo: Almond milk is about the only way I find almonds palatable, the demon cyanide tasting seeds that they are.
mircea_popescu: http://oglaf.com/buttocks/ << almond milk i'd go for.
mircea_popescu: when i see that name change i salivate.
mircea_popescu: i think balzac is the first to describe it. some small sleepy country town somewhere, with two printing licenses
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i'm still interested in forum posting, didn't want you to think i was blowing it off even though that's what i've done this week, i'll bbl, week of logs to catch up on
cazalla: mircea_popescu, spring is due here so i'm going to do laps once it warms up a little
cazalla: so that's why i sometimes stay in bed for a week or 2 and just sleep the depression off
cazalla: i use to
cazalla: i've had mri of neck, brain, cardiac ct, halter monitor, xrays, blood work, etc etc
cazalla: mircea_popescu, i have no report for today, been in bed best part of a week
mircea_popescu: i mean not that more will hurt, when-and-if.
asciilifeform: where i live, a 'busker' is a fellow playing, e.g., accordion on a steet, begging for pennies
asciilifeform: but before i can offer a potential parachute - need to know threat model.
mircea_popescu: i guess the catholics also did pretty well on the score.
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: re:http://gfy.com/showpost.php?p=20197180&postcount=28 << I've actually bought a drink with Euros at an American bar
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: I mean if the situation for the blacks improved... would there be a Ferguson? << read the lulziest headline on a national newspaper yesterday "blacks still aren't equal to whites. some think obama should do more."
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: lol i saw one of those around town recently. definitely not hipster material
xmj: kakobrekla: no car, i'll stay until i get bored
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: punkman: pete_dushenski: sounds like a death wish << i'd definitely mow him down. fucking biking hipsters. << real hipsters ride horses.
xmj: jurov: when at home I eat eggs and bacon all day every day
jurov: i don't think kako meant literal bacon and sausages
xmj: BingoBoingo: I don't get it?
xmj: kakobrekla: jurov things it's necessary we meet. i'm in ljubljana for an indefinite amount of time, how about beer if you're in town?
xmj: i didn't bring them unwarranted gifts
xmj: especially those items i'd just eat myself.
xmj: BingoBoingo: and why would i want to bring a stranger gifts?
xmj: who is that and why would i want to?
xmj: decimation: I'm currently in Ljubljana, it's not that much of a stretch to go there the next couple of days
xmj: pete_dushenski: i'm currently considering the area of Eindhoven NL
xmj: pete_dushenski: you missed the part where i was asking for germanic/anglosaxon hemisphere
pete_dushenski: xmj: What would make for a better home base in 2015 or 2016: Luxembourg, Monaco or Jersey/Guernsey? << try opatija, croatia. twas good enough for franz joseph i
decimation: in the case of bitcoin, I think he confuses the shoddy nature of modern computers with bitcoin as a technology, which can and will exist independently from today's crap-o-soft
decimation: yeah I get his point that old stuff is better, but sometimes a new technology does come along. While he derides electronics, it is clear that man will be making integrated circuits until the end of time (unless a better technology supersedes it)
pete_dushenski: youtubetard: yea...Quebec will hopefully demonstrate a peaceful and constructive seccesion << this, i'd like to see
decimation: anti-fragile by taleb has some interesting points. I wonder if he would consider bitcoin "fragile". In one sense, it is fragile because its current implementation relies on fragile computers and somewhat poorly wrought software. In another sense, it is strongly anti-fragile because it benefits from any event that casts doubt on the ability of nation-states to manage their own scrip.
assbot: If you ask someone where he comes from & he answers "Europe",odds are he is Romanian or Bulgarian.A German wd answer "Germany".Same Fr/I/Sp
decimation: re: handle's rant on the black rioting: http://handleshaus.wordpress.com/2014/08/17/procrustean-rashomon/#comment-4591 << Vladimir has a great comment: "On the other hand, libertarians and conservatives often have some vague intuitive understanding of the real issue, i.e. that the change in policing is just another manifestation of the sad fact that Americans and other Anglos are no longer a free people capable of governing
mod6: i don't want to have to calculate anything if possible.
mod6: i'd be preferable to me if x-bt would provide that in the JSON
X-Rob: BingoBoingo: yeah. Seems to be mining away happily now. Just that I have no proof-of-mining, apart from random blocks appearing, and I don't like that. So yeah, I'll get onto making a pool later. But it's work-o'clock now.
BingoBoingo: X-Rob: Well, I see we've gotten a few blocks since the switch, so... Improvement
X-Rob: BingoBoingo: I gave up on that pool. It was getting worse. I'm solo-mining to that address for the moment. I started writing a playbook so I can deploy pools easily, and I'll hopefully finish it after work today.
