trinque: sanity would dictate
the road belongs
to someone; pay him
trinque: I wouldn't mind if
the whole
thing worked
that way
trinque: houston area has loads of
toll roads, great filter
that keeps you able
to get anywhere you want quickly as long as you pay
danielpbarron: i oppress
them in a non violent way: I pass on
the right. I don't let people follow behind me, or
to my side. when I pass, I get it over with. and I never
try
to look at
the people in
the cars, which i've been
told by people who do
that it causes
them
to become apoplectic
mircea_popescu: must obtain certificate from all of
them ; renew weekly.
mircea_popescu: on
the contrary : car is permitted on
the ground provided it gets in
the way of no pedestrians.
phf: ever since playing Quarantine, i
thought
that it wouldn't be a bad idea
to make highways lawless zones
trinque: I dunno if
this is even a
thing elsewhere
trinque: I
think
they qualify if you're close enough behind
trinque: some
truck owners around here have
those idiot LED light bars
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron pickup
truck with mortar and g2g missiles, imo.
phf: i jumped a fence while drunk in georgetown once, during my college years, was invited for a glass of bourbon and a chat by
the owner. "i was a rufian, like you, young boys, once"
danielpbarron: how do you oppress someone individually on
the highway? run
them off
the road?
mircea_popescu: yes, well, it's unseemly. by now
the big house is a large corral.
mircea_popescu: do
the world and yourself a basic fucking courtesy and opress people individually, rather
than
trying
to come up with impersonal bs.
mircea_popescu: if you're
too shy
to
talk
to your plebs just go hang yourself.
mircea_popescu: none of
the bs "oh....
there is ... A RULE ... about genera l
things"
mircea_popescu: SAME EXACT fucking
thing here. if you want your plebs
to walk, FUCKING
TALK
TO
THEM.
mircea_popescu: look : if my slavegirl wears a red dress and i dun like it, i go "take
that
thing off". maybe i don't go anything. but i sure as fuck don't go "oh honey, red dresses aren't good."
trinque: almost like leave life
the fuck alone and it works fine
trinque: so
the
thing spreads out and grows new "downtown" clusters all
the
time
mircea_popescu: "no one shall make any covenant as
to
the use of land."
phf: dc
traffic is special. ferrying
the mass of aparatchiks with
their high boredom
tolerance
through
the narrow corridors between
the old money property
trinque: lets cram everyone working into
the smallest place possible
trinque: half
the idiocy is city zoning
mircea_popescu: bitch, what ? would have been 2x as good and 10x as cheap
to build rail.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi what
they were
thinking, "we're going
to mass industrialize in 1980 AND BUILD ROADS"
danielpbarron: all it
takes
then is one idiot
to hit
the breaks for no reason and all
the other cars similarly break, and it ripples backwards causing another phase change into what you call a jam, where changing lanes is impossible.
danielpbarron: but no, what happens is when cars are so close
together it is much more likely for a phase change
to occur (that is going from a state where it is
trivial
to change lanes
to one where changing lanes is difficult because it's hard
to find an opening)
danielpbarron: if
that speed were
the speed i want
to go
then i guess it wouldn't be a problem. but i drive fast
danielpbarron: there is
traffic on highways because women
think it exists for
them
to set cruise control in whichever lane
they happen
to end up, and
then play games on
their phone until
they get
to work, which results in long strings of cars going exactly
the same speed, which results in congestion when even a single similarly slow car
tries
to pass
the clog.
mod6: once fully sync'd
they both could be masters ; helping avoid star
topology.
mod6: then will probably get
that setup and colocate it somewhere.
mod6: and I ordered a physical box
that has
the same 2 procs, but has 64gb of ram as opposed
to 24gb. just needs few disks.
mod6: well, yeah, i've got a new dedicated box
that is
trb w/wires and currently syncing from
thin air.
shinohai: Speaking of battlestations, didn't you mention you have a new boxxen in
the works?
mod6: I hung my new 4'x6' whiteboard next
to
the battlestation last night. 'tis awesome.
shinohai: I found
this poor little Dell Inspiron 4150 sitting by a dumpster on my morning walk. Brought it home and
the
thing actually booted w/Knoppix xD
shinohai waves
to mod6, passes coffee [~]D
shinohai: Kinda like indiancandy having a vagina she didn't want
to penetrate with anything.
mircea_popescu: that's why it's
there,
to not get stuck in
traffic. "oh, i got a scrape and
then i put disinfectant on it which infected it".
mircea_popescu: for
the love of utter debasement, WHAT
THE FUCK IS
THE PURPOSE OF
THE HIGHWAY
THEN!
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, "where
the fuck are you ?" "i'm stuck in
traffic on
the highway."
Framedragger: (this might also a be good kickinass
to finally move
to db, however, no
time
till april, so considering quickdirtierfix for now, which is a bit yuck)

thigns be destroyed. live and let live!!11"
mircea_popescu: and a universal if foolish unawareness of
the republic.
mircea_popescu: aha, back when
the shitshow could still have been killed.
