mircea_popescu: ah, canned
tomatoes. yeah. is
the sun strong enough
there
to dry
them well btw ?
ben_vulpes: someone call
the old witches and
tell
them
the
things
they did all day were pointless
mircea_popescu: (in fairness
though, inflation didn't go over 10 before
the monkey went into office)
ben_vulpes: better
throw out
the family canning
tools i guess
ben_vulpes: "why have healthcare costs quintupled over
the past
three decades?" "did you roll your children in dirt
today?" "no?" "well
there you have it"
ben_vulpes: better dirt under your fingernails and a cupboard full of
tomatoes
than rubber food and children with no immune system
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: 'we' are mitigating against
the star
topology in all sorts of stupid and entertaining ways
gabriel_laddel_p: what I
think: if someone has js
turned on in
their browser, it's because
they want js. If
turned off,
they don't want it. I, at least, want an-accurate-as-possible archive of whatever shows up in
the logs, including arbitrary files, videos etc.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes so are we building
the republican farms in costa rica ?
mircea_popescu: what can i
tell you. pdf gets displayed somehow. html is a notation for display. convert.
mircea_popescu: turning pdfs into proper (small, well formatted) html would be useful, cut adobe out of
the document loop. videos meh.
gabriel_laddel_p: are
there any links in
the logs
that need special
treatment for archival? Current list: download youtube videos & pdfs.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes rando eyeballs webshit
trying
to pr on
top of
the newsfeed. been going on since forever, not specifically more related ot
the
topic
than
the coca cola xmas edition
BingoBoingo: Anyways pete may know someone with a bogmine
to sell
BingoBoingo: It's
the way
to do it. Concentrate
the good dirt.
ben_vulpes: of course
to effectively
transport
the dirt i'm going
to need
to buy a
trailer
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: funny you should mention raised beds, $girl finished
the second yesterday.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes:
Then make some raised beds and
take it with you. Or buy bogmine in pete_dushenski fashion.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: i will keep
that in mind for
that oft-dreamt-of-day when i'm unlikely
to relocate in five years
ben_vulpes: "are open
to anyone who want
to create a bright future
that's rich with opportunity and freedom for all" << what if my bright future doesn't include
towelheads, but it's still bright for everyone else, am i still welcome?
BingoBoingo: Well not necessary pile, just load it up into
the soil.
Then mebbe pile some up.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: More you buy it from a mine of sorts, usually in Canada, and
the fact of its extraction is why you must buy it while it still is cheap
ben_vulpes: or does it come from some bog somewhere, extracted at rates far greater
than
the bog can replenish
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Do you know what provides surface area and
that bacteria <3 more
than charcoal? Peat moss
ben_vulpes: in with
these other words whose meanings have drained from
them at
the hands of leftists bloodletters
ben_vulpes: "when core democratic ideals feel under attack" << core democratic ideals! feel! a+ "assuming
the sale" right
there
ben_vulpes: "a line was crossed" nobody can use active voice anymore, saying your enemy's name doesn't give him power over you witchcraft isn't a
thing
ben_vulpes: "fuck, buddy. it's just a coordinate
transform, you can handle
those right?"
ben_vulpes: hey i had a blast with quaternions once upon a
time
mircea_popescu: reminds me of
those weirdo
transforms in
that weirdo wanna-be language we discussed recently.
ben_vulpes: "hi i have a rudimentary understanding
that some words related
to mathematics exist and have spent
too much
time glomming strings
together. please kill me!"
jhvh1: mircea_popescu:
The operation succeeded.
mircea_popescu: ahahaha is
trump's secret agent codename "agent orange" ?
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski first solid example of
the
tru power of crowd sourcing. except it's not exactly a crowd.
a111: Logged on 2014-02-19 06:21 mircea_popescu: an old american moves
to a
thai village.
a111: Logged on 2014-09-08 22:35 mircea_popescu: "Thank you for
this clarification Mr. Nakamoto. It has been an honor
to be labeled by my friends as "Satoshi's Drunk Uncle" and it's a moniker I'll wear proudly until
the day I retire from Crypto.
The Goldcoin (GLD) developers
truly admire your work and strive
to continue improving upon its design as a
tribute
to your unparallelled genius. Your admirer and relative in spirit, MicroGuy."
mircea_popescu: could be played straight,
title, description of
the event, last line is "by
the way
this happened in 2013."
a111: Logged on 2015-01-09 07:49 mircea_popescu: "That's quite publicity for MP for a mere 5 BTC (he owns half bitbet), maybe less. (It's obvious
that bitcoin will go up faster, so not many will bet no)"
a111: Logged on 2014-12-10 00:51 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu had an article (or perhaps a
thread here? but can't seem
to find it...) about an archetypical u.s. expat. fellow keeps a pub somewhere in
thailand, or cambodia, etc.
the locals - drink for free. he fancies
that if he begins
to run out of dough, he can always start charging. but somehow in
the back of his head he knows what will happen
to his sorry arse if he were
to do so.
PeterL: Gotta run, will be reading
the log.
PeterL: I'll put it on
the list of stuff
to
think about.
PeterL: more biochemistry
than what I usually
think about, but still interesting.
PeterL: The early earth astmosphere has been speculated
to have been non-oxygen, before we could have aerobic metabolism first we needed a bunch of anaerobes shitting out oxygen, E.G.
mircea_popescu: heh. but you understand what i mean yes ? biological processes are chiefly defined
through
turning one class of substance into a narrower other class
PeterL: but I get
the gist of what you are saying
a111: Logged on 2017-02-13 14:25 mircea_popescu: !~later
tell peterl since you're both in
the field and unlazy, here's a
thought - i would like
to see a quantitative history of life in
terms of biopumps. i dunno
that
this was ever done, and it's a crying shame.
mircea_popescu: bitch. what
the fuck DID you
think of using it as, a dildo ?
mircea_popescu: but
this is relatively rare. generally, it happens because... uh...
mircea_popescu: now, SOMETIMES, it's like in
the case of
the lisp ai, where i was lazy and didn't actually provision properly.
mircea_popescu: this sort of
thjing happens
to me about every other project.
mircea_popescu: apparently i'm
the first lightbulb
to have come up with
the
theory
that IF (and
this is a very doubtful if in
the first place) your backup process should fail according
to
the size backed up,
then it is logical for it
to faill for it being
TOO SMALL, not for it being
too big.
mircea_popescu: and in
today's wtf, home directory size 3022328952, full backup package 12619700949.
mircea_popescu: what, i'm going
to engage it as if it were for reals, now ?
they "posited" whatever random bullshit, might as well be on wikireddit for all
the difference it can make irl.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
the pseudoscientific gunk you reviewed does not form part of
this discussion
though,
they're as irrelevant
to anything
to do with people as
the chirping of
the birds.
mircea_popescu: each day ~member of
the family until
the day it's member of
the family meal.
mircea_popescu: 7th year of nigger != 8th year of nigger. same as with prikoke,
the lifespan of domestic animals is a very peculiar nonliniarity.
