MrWDunne: I presume I should never go full base
DrFluffyPonyPhd: I know some other people who were being drilled until about 5am, just not with questions
MrWDunne: I would imagine he is sleeping, he was being drilled with questions until about 5AM his time. Ah okay, should have guessed that one
DrFluffyPonyPhd: I just know how to read
fluffypony: I'ma stick to Afrikaans and Zulu
fluffypony: oh that's not what I was trying to say
fluffypony: I looked at that little honda a while ago, I should actually just get it
HeySteve: fluffypony, I recommend a portable Honda generator like the EU20i
fluffypony: between the MrWDunne guy and DrGregMulhauser I'm seriously considering becoming SirFluffyPonyPhd on bitcointalk
fluffypony: I loved the comment by theMiracle - "Protip 4 U 2: Take it slow. Start off by snagging a few extra newspapers from a vending machine when u pay for one. Practice stealing rolls of toilet paper from public restrooms. Get the hang of the basics -- then you can come back to looting bitcoiners."
mircea_popescu: he's a sort of max keiser, as far as i'm concerned.
benkay: i gotta decouple, man.
benkay: in one way or another i've been standing by and squirting grease on the thing since i was a bairn.
decimation: heh well that's a plan I guess. It's honest work at least, keeping the internet goblins at bay
benkay: decimation: if i burn all my bridges here, i'm moving up to seattle and working in the server mines for a year to reestablish my capital base.
decimation: I suspect a large crash would signal another leg up for bitcoin though
decimation: re: amazon, I've heard it's a tough life working there. Look at the glassdoor reviews: they cheapskate on everything. Yeah, the salary is okay, but you better enjoy being on call
benkay: i think it's time to go all cash, neh?
benkay: a) i don't actually troll.
decimation: I missed ;)
benkay: ;;rate decimation 1 a fellow, i reckon.
BingoBoingo: Mysteries I want in a blog post, Benkay, why did you ever stop trolling me after my return to -assets
BingoBoingo: benkay: As best as I can tell with Amazon is that they have done nothing other than reinvest in their history. Like the Poker Player who doubled down 21 times in row and won.
benkay: i haven't looked at the actual books but i'm imagining that each spend on one side is balanced by an acquisition on the other. maybe just of engineering time, but w/e.
benkay: BingoBoingo: moisin, do i recall?
BingoBoingo: benkay: Well befor I realized my mammal vexation was an actual mouse what remedies did I Spz?
benkay: BingoBoingo: couldn't say i'm a rebel cascadian hiding in the hills
BingoBoingo: benkay: Am I representing 'Murican infatuation with baseball fairly?
BingoBoingo: By Italy I mean classic Italy, anyone born more than two barns from you and your goats is a foreigner
benkay: 's why i'm in mgmt these days
benkay: mircea_popescu: dun think i got any credit for popping the recent sybils.
benkay: <mircea_popescu> and i'm not gonna give stan any more credit than i gave benkay either << wot ch2 omission smarted
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Actually I am thinking the Apple II version, but yes, that artillery game
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well I mentioned this in another post, but it goes back to baseball. Who carries half of a ptcher's success and why?
benkay: ;;later tell decimation i did indeed and would be pleased to help you do the same although i'm sure you can figure it out
asciilifeform: as it is i'm tuned to wrong frequency, perhaps
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i re-read that thing. maybe it'd make sense to me with strong drink.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Prolly. Cake comes and goes. I might hammer out consistent gains, but probably never again over a bid-ask pread of 4 times
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo> asciilifeform: It is well within the specs I set when I raped herbi and his wife's future. << dude srsly.
asciilifeform: lol i was wasnt i
asciilifeform: i now confess that i missed what was herbi and wife
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It is well within the specs I set when I raped herbi and his wife's future.
BingoBoingo: Also I can't threaten incapacitating my self that much lest BTC/AtC goes to hell
BingoBoingo: Next thing you know I will forsake N.W.A. for Sheryl Crow
asciilifeform: i meant, by taking only one and see what happens
BingoBoingo: For all I actually know maybe I am more addicted to menthol than nicotine
BingoBoingo: The only people IRL on OL with similar issues were notorious epileptics so I guess being more functional than that is a plus.
BingoBoingo: I also throw a bowling ball with alternating hands given situations favorable to one side or the other's strengths
BingoBoingo: I have an admitedly odd neurology. I throw a baseball right handed but have to shoot the rifle left handed.
BingoBoingo: I'm familiar with MPTP induced parkinsons from reading.
BingoBoingo: I guess because the gene was TAQ something or other
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Back when 23andme made medical declarations I spit in a tube. Apparently I am part A-Rab
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: I'm missing 1/2 to 3/4 the D2 receptors << where'd you misplace them?
mircea_popescu: anyway. i'm kinda up to here with the smoking addiction thing. i've been smoking since ~16. that's two decades ago. i still smoke, i average a pack a month. prolly less these days. it takes all the willpower of a tomato as far as i can tell, it's never bothered me.
BingoBoingo: Keep in mind my experiences prolly don't map onto to many others. I'm missing 1/2 to 3/4 the D2 receptors most people have in the general population)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: And I sat through literally 2/3rds of the PharmD curiculumn, half of it twice. But as a TA so I get no credit for having done such a thing.
asciilifeform: one of the things i used to do is model action of oximes (as an antidote to anticholinergics)
mircea_popescu: and i'm not gonna give stan any more credit than i gave benkay either
mircea_popescu: dude i love this chan. i shall now write yet another great trilema article on the basis of shit i ran into here.
mircea_popescu: "If you /are/ the majority and I am in the minority, how could you possibly believe that I have not already and many years ago figured out exactly how you guys work? If you had the brain to do it, this would be a grave insult, but you do not think ahead. You do in fact not think at all, because the things you say can only be uttered by a mind closed shut long ago."
asciilifeform: i can hardly think of pine tar without tasting in my head that crap the greeks drink.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, i think pine tar is... amphetamine
asciilifeform: i thought this was because FIDE wanted to ban coffee
BingoBoingo: I mean the writer cam to the wrong conclusion. It should still stay "banned" but discretion is the first step towards sophistication.
ThickAsThieves: "Totally agree that it should be legal. In the mean time, Pineda really just needs to get better at this. I mean, he should realize that he is being watched after the last incident, there has to be a better place to put pine tar than on your neck. Just learn to cheat better."
ThickAsThieves: i think low bet submissions being topical is enough to change the tide
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: What I gather is that SEO spammers can't spec interesting bets
ThickAsThieves: also in my own experience many of the crazies i met that are also smart are left-handed
BingoBoingo: Eh, I'm right handed but left eye dominant. Sometimes I'm clumsy, but that is usually just distilled rather than beyond the grave spirits at work.
BingoBoingo: I also swear deadspin might be the only Gawker enterprise worth saving.
mircea_popescu: e Romans did not make names, but transcribed them). I estimate that the third of the coastal villages spoke Semitic dialects. The modus of the Phoenicians was network, hence a system of trade links built on trust (you send merchandise to a relative who pays you back; you needed a certain amount of trust before the letter of credit). The region is large: it extends all the way to Mogador on the Atlantic coast.
mircea_popescu: let me interject something related i was just happening to read. a bit of a paste :
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i don't imagine anyone would be invading the us.
mircea_popescu: They has a fit while I commit my social suicide,
mircea_popescu: I hear that beat; I jump outa my seat but I can't compete, cause I'm a dancin' fool, I'm a dancin' fool
mircea_popescu: But I go dancin' every night hopin' one day I might get it right
mircea_popescu: 'Course now right along with 'em I got no natural rhythm
mircea_popescu: Don't know much about dancin' that's why I got this song
mike_c: i was getting into disco boy :) i like it.
mike_c: i don't really know him
mircea_popescu: kako is not user friendly like i am
mike_c: i tried on kako before.
mircea_popescu: I THOUGHT WE HAD SOMETHING SPECIAL
mike_c: i'm trying to make more friends today by nitpicking everyone's work.
mike_c: trilema feature request: why do i have to go to secret page to login? having the cookie form on the 'fee' page would be nice.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Up to then there had never really been any solid indication of this chan that I might have some potential for trading prowess, at least not until I took herbi's house, car, wife, and dingo
thestringpuller: i haven't even beaten dark souls yet
mircea_popescu: i see.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: See, before the quoted interaction with herbi there would have been zero or less reason to propose I be your altcoin trader, whereas herbi had been pimping his 1337 quant skills and fx hobby.
mircea_popescu: i'm exactly the opposite of a bureaucracy, fucking impredictible by design
ThickAsThieves: i'm a noob i guess
ThickAsThieves: well i assumed corn cob
mircea_popescu: i fell for hruschev and married him / turned out his cock was a cobb
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't even have noticed it's trying to be had you not said so :D
asciilifeform: well sure, but i like rhyming transl.
BingoBoingo: Well, the herbi stuff was over the 13th and 14th. It wasn't until later I became your trader (but not much later)
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: At the time I battled herbi I was trading my own ATC
mircea_popescu: "And a couple days later I became MP's ATC trader."
kakobrekla: ah ok then, i thought i signed something that was not aware of for a sec
mircea_popescu: overheard in my room "I broke my lip on your cock!"
