mircea_popescu: i think iran will invade if that's on the books.
BingoBoingo: It's why I'm leaning towards predicting partition.
decimation: asciilifeform: I think you wrote about how the effects of the nuke bomb were seriously hyped back in the cold war days. Here's an interesting link: http://glasstone.blogspot.com/
decimation: perhaps the fate of the US is to have a "russian 90's" and then see a putin-like figure arise. I kinda doubt it though, because of the intense allergy us folk have to anyone telling them what to do
BingoBoingo: I like Xfce for no other reason than they basically... stopped...
decimation: "?I believe that the problems in the Heliophysics Division are dominated by the continuing actions of Dr. Madhulika Guhathakurta,? Chenette wrote. ?By her actions she chooses not to work as a member of the Heliophysics Division team. More than any other person she has been an unusually divisive and polarizing presence in the heliophysics community.?
assbot: Why I am Not a Professor
decimation: re gnome: I wonder why Redhat continues to favor gnome - it seems KDE is far more professional for a "desktop environment"
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I imagine gnome is one of those abandonware projects like gnash people flock to merely for their existence
BingoBoingo: See. I imagine a solution to this problem. Matriculation exam and a subfreshman class aspiring to not shovel shit the next year.
asciilifeform: i.e. hire the folks with the yale '4.0'
mircea_popescu: signals be signals, all i need is to know what they mean.
mircea_popescu: yes but economy has the same age old problem : it's real. once i know that ivy league predicts non-competence im not hiring them anymore.
mircea_popescu: i bet they do
mircea_popescu: ;;rate napedia 1 I got a fan.
BingoBoingo: I'm starting to think that to an extent people can find use for Desktop environments over windowmangers, Xfce may be where it is at.
mircea_popescu: i'd be fucken surprised if anyone ever read one of those things
Mats_cd03: benkay: i forget exactly what it was you wanted. tx ids and a json api?
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: Looked like a warning shot. I imagine actual violence comes later.
TheNewDeal: yah I was going to say, the sipa chart doesn't show much of a bump http://bitcoin.sipa.be/growth-10k.png
moiety: i've made a start to the wiki bot commands list with assbot, i'll finish gribble tomorrow. mod6 and i working on atcbot soon. totally wiped out, night all :]
BingoBoingo: I remember when AMD fucked their compilers by cribbing Intel
decimation: asciilifeform: re: engineering toolchain - I wonder if Intel's toolchain suppliers have ever experimented with "enhancements"
BingoBoingo: decimation: You have to realize what I say about methodism is purely as an outside observer.
decimation: if you discount Christianity's assertations about the nature, I would agree with you
BingoBoingo: decimation: I went to a Methodist college, but... Methodism isn't a real religion anyways.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I kind of though that was part of the MP attitude towards building certain ideas. If you lack the captital to not roast your leg and can't ask for money, you eat yourself.
decimation: mats: heh yeah you are right. I think he was trying to convey several points: 1.) half measures don't work - shoot down the third world shuttles when they invade 2.) democracy turns to decadence - too weak to hold the allodial rights to a domain
mircea_popescu: i suppose that could yield them a profit.
peterl: I don't think I meant to?
decimation: I think bingo means why would they buy D series from mircea
kakobrekla: i guess we shall see about the practice part.
mircea_popescu: i expect anyone who actually thinks one of the things is worth money to buy from me first, yes.
peterl: I figured. is there a simple way to understand it?
peterl: so I was reading the trilema about the D series
decimation: I watched "Elysium" on the redeye back from hawaii last night. Steve Sailor's review nails it: http://takimag.com/article/elysium_neill_blomkamp_fools_the_critics_again_steve_sailer
assbot: Am i pregnent???? please help me....?
BingoBoingo: I think at my lowest points I made a couple tanks of gas off of them. Stopped because their editorial policies made anything useful impossible.
BingoBoingo: Honestly I doubt anything could end civilization faster than booze without the hangover, but then... You see those opiates collapsing US civilization.
moiety: i have given up trying
mircea_popescu: kinmda how i feel about substance abuse
BingoBoingo: The Coinchat tard were largely forum tards for whom the forum could not burn their money fast enough. And without and option to remotely fry their retinas I had no stick with which to educate them.
BingoBoingo: This goes into the distinction between mike_c and TheNewDeal trying to buy into my no bet against the same hard boundaries and only one of them speaking a language I could agree to.
BingoBoingo: It doesn't work. I tried throwing around trilema cookies when TF's coinchat was a thing.

asciilifeform: i'd even dare to guess that the much-hyped ic fab diddling does indeed take place - but through...
BingoBoingo: Still, I think the matriculation test is a valuable idea.

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: When I had access to chalkboards I used a caco3/caso4 mix, whiter lasted longer.
BingoBoingo: Whiteboards just don't work, and having been drinking since about... 1PM mircea_popescu time... I supposed aspects of bingo University.
mircea_popescu: personally i think i'd prefer the yankee.
mircea_popescu: i wonder if given a choice to drink marylin or eva who'd people pick
mthreat: mircea_popescu: ah ok. when i google "argentina national drink" it says mate. I think the national drink is peronism
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you can just drink the medicinal alcohol here. i know, cause i tried it. cue "ok, that is by FAR the most ghetto thing I ever saw you do" from floored assistence
moiety: i have a 5 gallon brown demi john and a 1 gallon clear one. i want to start making my own things.
BingoBoingo: I might just switch to grain alcohol and distilled water. Purity of essence for the win.
buanz0: i've done my fair bit of distilling and brewing to know how i like to drink :P
buanz0: some do. i dont care.
moiety: i thought they dripped laudenum onto the cube and dropped it in the absinthe
buanz0: BingoBoingo: I like my absinth with good iced water, depending on the kind of absinth I might add a bit of sugar. the cube thing is just for show.
moiety: BingoBoingo: never had it on ice. i need the sugar or it's so harsh to me
moiety: lol benkay! what have i done to you all in here?! manuls ingrained :D

benkay: moiety: i read something you wrote earlier as "5-speed manul"
mircea_popescu: me "ow shit, that's why it tasted like shit. i thought you kept tea in the cupboard"

benkay: CAN YOU TELL I LIKED IT?
benkay: i have a bag of mate in the cupboard
BingoBoingo: Usually there's only a little vomitting. I've only had the experience thrice before surrendering to it being unpleasant in spite of the right genetics.
buanz0: I distill absinth myself.
mircea_popescu: then i told him he'll have to talk the wife into going naked, he visibly softened.
mircea_popescu: i was telling buanz0 about their bdsm party and he was all like... omg when's the next one.
buanz0: i have seen some pretty weird stuff, mir
mircea_popescu: <mthreat> so i guess it's the equivalent of drinking robitussin << ok, i can see that.

BingoBoingo: So... after a lot of drinking on the matter I think I know what I'm doing with the portable.
