mircea_popescu: including "Los femicidios aumentaron de forma "desmesurada", según admitió ayer Conte Grand. El funcionario dijo que, de acuerdo con las proyecciones estadísticas, este delito aumentó en
torno al 1200 por ciento en el último año." et all
a111: Logged on 2017-03-08 14:41 asciilifeform: which is why asciilifeform will probably not be buying
the mansion next
to phf's in india..
mircea_popescu: phf i was vaguely considering sending a an infestor. something reasonable, 2/3 bedroom 2 bathroom proper kitchen ac etc. it does get
terribly hot does it.
phf: in
this particular case,
the differentiator was
the subtle lean. i mean,
the south
they have a special perspective on
the whole
thing. i suspect many of
their wealthy families have little shrines
to godse
phf: i
think it's still a significant
time period for a lot of indians. possibly
the last one.
a111: Logged on 2016-03-03 01:58 phf: do you know what hurree babu really wants? he wants
to be made a member of
the royal society by
taking ethnological notes.
jhvh1: asciilifeform:
The operation succeeded.
phf: well,
the most ridiculous example, i befriended a doctor, initially by simply pointing out Nehru in a picture,
then producing a few coherent sentences about partition of india period. was subsequently invited
to dinner at his house, with family, etc.
phf: besides
the area is still primed by
the british, bene gesserit style, as sahib you will be sought out, as an articulate and educated one you will be retained.
☟︎ phf: i
think if you're ~entirely~ not mp, you're going
to get raped anywhere. but if you're a little bit mp (which i
think qualifies present people, otherwise none of us would be here, you yourself were
trying
to buy a projects building in a fucking baltimore),
then i
think you have better chance extracting value in india,
than you do in americas. because bureaucracy runs deep here, need much more play money
to sway it your way.
there, you ~can~ get away with paying
phf: unless you're an mp, you don't have a choice
to
tell fuck you
to local fauna, and
the whole "i can pay whatever" only plays it out well in shitty miami based
tv shows
☟︎ phf: it would be significantly cheaper
to put up a mast in india,
than it is in u.s. even factoring rape licenses
phf: well, define "need". yes, your default option is
that you're paying for comcast(tm)(c)(r)
phf: or go
through second or
third hop,
those might be more approachable
phf: if you have a line of sight from your property
to a direct satellite
tower, you can get
the owner
to put an antena up for you, for sure.
that doesn't require special licenses anywhere. of course putting up a mast on your site most likely requires government license and
that's where you're going
to get
the bulk of rapage
phf: but i
think
the main source of rape is
the government, rather
then locals as such. can find pretty much anything for local prices, as long as you're in
the right place asking
the rightk inds of questions
phf: in fact my bed&briekfast guy is very much "an old dutch moves
to an indian village": "license costs 300rs, but
they found another irregularity so i have
to pay 10'000rs fee"
☟︎ phf: of course, but
technopark shows all
the hoops you have
to jump
through "private water delivery" "private contract with internet provides for 99.999 internet" "private contract with electric" "fallback generator on site" etc.
phf: has all
the usual suspects on site, oracle, microsoft, etc.
phf: roquefort is unobtanium. in fact
there's a christian monastery
that makes cheese somewhere in
the north, european style.
they make bank selling
that stuff
to hotels, etc. i was
trying
to sell some priests on
the idea, but by
the
time i remember we were both utterly drunk, and
the conversation devolved into calls for bloody revolution and such
phf: i don't
think you can pay with money for
the later
a111: Logged on 2014-02-19 06:21 mircea_popescu: an old american moves
to a
thai village.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-08 14:24 phf: looked at a mansion, where i lost count of rooms, has inner court yard and large forst area in
the back, secluded, etc. advertised as $2000/mo, final price was $12000/yr (!!!)
phf: i did a bed&breakfast which is my preferred approach,
the room was baseline 2200rs/night, for 35 days, with 20% discount, worked out
to about $950
a111: Logged on 2017-03-08 11:47 phf: oh he'll also be selling a macivory model 2 board,
that you can put in a quadra yourself. (or use it for a die shot sacrifice...)
phf: this is all within 10 minute ride
to
the beach, 30 minute ride
to
the closest big city. not sure what
the prices are like in
the city, but i have a guy i can ask if you're interested
phf: an apartment 2 bedroom apartment in a muslim
town (so main downside is a regular adhan) was offered for about $300/mo
phf: looked at a mansion, where i lost count of rooms, has inner court yard and large forst area in
the back, secluded, etc. advertised as $2000/mo, final price was $12000/yr (!!!)
☟︎ phf: what
they would call "studio" in u.s., i.e. a room with a kitchen area goes for about $1000/yr
phf: i looked at places within 10 minute motorcycle ride from a
tourist beach area
phf: cheap, and wot dependent. i can't figure out what
the market forces are like, or possibly everything's really cheap, so
there's no bottom.
phf: oh he'll also be selling a macivory model 2 board,
that you can put in a quadra yourself. (or use it for a die shot sacrifice...)
☟︎ phf: i
think a half decent reason
to get an xl1201 is
to sacrifice an ivory and get die shots
a111: Logged on 2017-03-08 02:29 asciilifeform: iirc phf has
the xl1201.
trinque will not be buying, but might be interesting
to any scrap hunters present.
trinque: first
time I've seen one of
those for sale.
trinque: and with cloud computing, nobody gets
to inspect
the snake oil milking machine.
mircea_popescu: how fortunate are we,
to live in
the
times of such great discoveries.
trinque: k will generate shortly and send it
to ya
