danielpbarron: i don'
t know that i'm qualified to take lead on such a thing, as knowledgable on the subject as i may be. And i have a bad habit of losing track of projects that i'm not super confident about
mircea_popescu: you can'
t see, for lack of the sight organ, which is a knowledge of the field.
phf: mod6: slow start of day. i ate too much pelmeni last night before bed, so now i'm groggy and don'
t want to exercise. it's a vicious cycle!
phf: also it would be handy to mark some of the files as text/plain in nginx so that browser doesn'
t autodownload: ltv, lst, cl, lisp, doc
mircea_popescu: (btw, my 3x above is correct figure, obtained fgrom busy bar/club experience. the surface doesn'
t do it justice, you need 150% longer to use a toilet to pee than if you peed on the wall.)
mircea_popescu: if you can'
t shit squatting / wash naked with 100 other dudes you go straight overboard in a sack.
pa1atine: i did it this morning, but it didn'
t seem to work out at the time
BingoBoingo: <mod6> they told us at the time, "Hey, you can be an extra in the movie if you want... it doesn'
t pay anything, just have to stand there for 12 hours a day..." Fuck that, we were too busy playing grab-ass with the figure-skaters. << What you have to do is speak during a take that is too good to exclude, get your SAG card.

mircea_popescu: with all sorts of silly/quirky/potentially dangerous misbehaviours, neither defined nor ennumerated, yet irresponsibly baked in. because monkeys loive to code, can'
t read code.
mircea_popescu: right. but i wouldn'
t say this qualifies as any sort of check.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: cojones doesn'
t have the implication about size
a111: Logged on 2017-08-01 18:26 mircea_popescu: iirc they didn'
t have the gumption to actually change verification code.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> iirc it wouldn'

☟︎ mircea_popescu: i don'
t think niggers & pantsuits got so badly humiliated by anything in history. bitcoin rocks lol.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you don'
t understand, d00d! IT WAS FOR THE MASSES! THE DEMAND! PENT UP!
phf: dead directors won'
t have a chance to disappoint, there's a joke there somewhere about ex wives
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, the libertards are exactly so described. they dare do the whole trilema rewrite thing, except their results aren'
t "the original improved, because closer to mp". their results are "the original, destroyed".
phf: i saw him in the horrible wolf of wall street and then later in war dogs. both are millennial updates of greater movies, later one being a take on "lord of war". he basically plays the same character, young annoying and smug jew who gets what he wants on chutzpah, until he doesn'
t.
mircea_popescu: phf i had to google this hill dood, and i still don'
t know who he is.
mircea_popescu: somehow these people don'
t seem to observe the contradiction between "talented" and "15 minutes of fauxfame"
mod6: I just couldn'
t remember
mircea_popescu: mod6 the idea being that the russian grammar is so descriptive, an vocabulary isn'
t really needed. you can express yourself on the strength of grammatical structure and arbitrarily chosen verb + noun.
mircea_popescu: (aka guncotton, ie the item that wasn'
t there on the "hospital" ship germans sunk)
mircea_popescu: sounds about right, yes ? except dogs won'
t read the shit coming out of tepee, new mexico. but otherwise basically the same thing, right ? harvard can be university, just as good as european, neh ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know, here's what i can'
t put to rest : it's not JUST fucking joseph smith, "o i heard them fine folks in rome have this religion thing, ima make one myself out of shit around my log cabin". he's one of the more ridiculous exponents, yes, but he's in no way marginal. not at all. murray rothbard is exactly "oh i heard them folks in paris have a philosophy, ima make one out of old shit in demolished us protest
BingoBoingo: Don'
t you know, Obama was supposed to lock America into a miserly 1.5% growth rate for ever!!!
mod6: obv. we don'
t know yet, but if that isn'
t the "we've reached a perm plateau..." statement of our times, i don'
t know what is.
mod6: Also, maybe I'm wrong. Yellen said ``I don'
t believe we'll see another financial crisis in our lifetimes...''
mircea_popescu: "oh, married life is no sort of maiden life". well... don'
t worry your pretty head so much about it, the skin falls off.
mod6: people better get ready. if you can'
t see yourself herding goats, or fishing off a dock, or living in a cabin in the woods; you've had an beyond-your-means "lifestyle" for far too long. it's coming to and end.
mircea_popescu: and the process through which it doesn'
t get it in time is,
mircea_popescu: for instance. or for whatever other reason. but the point here is -- don'
t trust your culture to be a monotonously positive item. it's not.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform right. maybe they were invaded. but maybe they weren'
t ? maybe senescence is what turned the tall guys with slender noses into today's orcs.
mircea_popescu: watch girly that'd be a fine intellect believe "metaphysics" is dumbass pulp nonsense. why ? because her mom's a wizard don'
t you know, and her grandmother was a faith healer.
mircea_popescu: "we can'
t have a baby until we built a baby room" is NOT A SKILL
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but the fact that they aren'
t what they preach doesn'
t mean the thing they preach being isn'
t there.
mircea_popescu: he couldn'
t, eg, have been a syrian geodesic engineer. or a lebanese partizan. or a central asian goat herd.
trinque: reminds me of the thread re: whether intelligent folks can be said to be intelligent if they can'
t translate themselves to moron.
mircea_popescu: i can appreciate that the only way they even got this far, having read all those books they had to read to be able to discuss something interesting in science today, as opposed to 1700 ; and all the time doing definitionally boring shit in the lab (because it's NOT "i can'
t recall what the solvent was" it is therefore boring!) is by subduing the natural voice saying "fuck this shit, let's go roll in the grass under the apple
mircea_popescu: i mean specifically this "doctor doesn'
t understand my allergies and i have this one blanky that works" attitude. it's very common, and the point is : it is very common in a) intelligent people of a technical inclination b) working in shitistans.
phf: asciilifeform: no idea, placebo presumably, original doesn'
t work for me
mircea_popescu: that also. tho phf's item of choice isn'
t, afaik, on that list.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform he didn'
t know why antihistaminics are behind the glass in the us. they are behind the glass because women specifically tend to both overtake them and are vulnerable to them. << Nah decongestants behind glass because meth

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> it is ever so slighlty strange that all those zealots of brain expansion don'
t apply the procedure to more easily replaced item. "this is my car ; i ... expaned its cylinders. this was my blender ; i ... expanded its vase. this is my bed ; the reason it consists of four chunks of poliurethane is that i expanded its surface" and so on. << They DO this
mircea_popescu: less toxic than whatever's in their "i can'
t recall what solvent i used" preparations.
phf: i actually don'
t know if it's synthesis or an extraction because didn'
t read the whole thing, but i thought that there's a synthesis step further in

t apply the procedure to more easily replaced item. "this is my car ; i ... expaned its cylinders. this was my blender ; i ... expanded its vase. this is my bed ; the reason it consists of four chunks of poliurethane is that i expanded its surface" and so on.
mircea_popescu: and then people "don'
t remember what solvent they used" the first time and "about 15+ hours he would say" etcetera.
phf: i don'
t remember the context of the conversation, but it's been on my desktop for a while, presented here for the lulz
mircea_popescu: i don'
t fucking understand this nonsense. they know smoking kills, and still smoke. this -- i can see. they know alcohol is bad for you, yet still drink. so do i. they are aware television ruins your eyesight, and still watch it. i don'
t, but surely not for that reason.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> liber-rothbards whatever are so poorly received by the anglo left. they prolly tried to read rothbard and fell over. << AHA, this IS the anglophone problem. Not much in the language that isn'
t worse than Rothbard. English gives you Twain, William James, and Shakespeare. Everthing else is translated into the language.
mircea_popescu: tell you what : jules verne has a radio-like item in it, doesn'
t make it good writing.
mircea_popescu: "baker says i have to let him fuck me because i can'
t pay for having smelled his bread!" "well... would you prefer to let me fuck you for having paid him by jingling my purse ?"
User705: Heard that one. He jingles the coins. Didn'
t know it was him
BingoBoingo: <User705> On both ends lulzy the whole thing of you now own things I don'
t really own and the plaintiffs asking to get back a valuable thing that wouldn'
t be worth shit if you could get it back that way. The cryptsy dude should just send the court a letter stating I release all rights to those addresses to you as a satisfaction of judgement. Best of luck. << Nah, this is how "family court" works

mircea_popescu: in other news, i can'
t fucking belive nobody has made a Book of Ulterior Doom, consisting of McGonagall poems with Thomas Kinkade illustrations.
