cazalla: how did
i misread apple v orange as lemon v orange
cazalla: you know you can have the best of both worlds with a meyer lemon,
i have a tree, best lemons in the world
MisterE: most Asians cant believe
I eat spicy
MisterE: my stomach is a rock so
I dunno why
i eat chilies by the truckload
mircea_popescu: true story : me in a park, on bench, with apple. big fat red juicy apple. little girl sorta shyly eyeing my apple from a safe distance. so
i extend it for her to take a bite. she bites and sorta... gets stuck ? starts shaking her head and eventually pulls away ?
MisterE: in US
I used to get the low acid concentraded OJ
pankkake:
I like the small oranges, clementines and mandarins, maybe because
I'm a filthy individualist?
MisterE: hmm
I do like me a fresh orange juice in the morning but lately the acid is not my friend :/
mircea_popescu:
i dunno man.
i really see it there.
i love myself a summer evening apple, but also a winter morning orange.
pankkake:
I would actually argue that apples are better than oranges too
pankkake: MisterE: used to be my forum sig somewhere. it's an addiction,
I always try to quit but
I fall in it again
artifexd: After the 12 hour troll fest in here last night,
I wouldn't be surprised if #bitcoin-assets became +m and to get +v you had to be rated in the wot.
MisterE: murdercoin
I might could get behind
pankkake:
I hope Detroit launches Robocoin
MisterE:
I read a city minted a coin, only the local gov can mine it, and they're giving it for charitable things people do to help the city. now you can exchange for a title or crappy council resolution but trying to make more incentives for it.
cazalla:
i think you can disregard any without 1 next to them
MisterE:
I know but chix sand not the worst and
I do get cravings here
pankkake:
I should have made the bet last more, but April 1st was a good date
MisterE:
I read rumor that DOGE and LTC were combining lol
MisterE:
I think some jerks here actually accelerate when you're in a crosswalk
mircea_popescu:
i much prefer the european system (pedestrian have priority over anything)
MisterE:
I may have more respect for Asians who just say hell with it and lay it on the table
mircea_popescu: people keep saying "corrupt" like it's a bad thing, but
i seriously have been making it one of my top indicators
MisterE: and nothing a little cash cant fix here even if
I fuck up
MisterE:
I feel more free in reality here despite the nice piece of paper back in the US and my passport
mircea_popescu: MisterE amusingly, that part
i can see. unless you're willing to go to war for the throne, stfu about the king.
mircea_popescu:
i remember some ridiculous thing where some blogger said she found a cockroach in her soup and then had to take down the post because the eatery objected
MisterE:
I'm involved with a case now
fluffypony: MisterE: indeed - that's the textbook
I use for my Advanced Alcoholicist course
mircea_popescu: this is here so
i have what to link journos when they need to be told how to cover btc.
MisterE: maybe
I;m shooting blanks :)
MisterE: thats always what
I thought
I;d do but no kids ever came
cazalla:
i was actually going to piss off and do this before she fell pregnant
cazalla: mircea_popescu: tassie is small,
i'll find an area with a school within an hour and the wife can drive him
MisterE: like
I'd never live in Kansas
MisterE:
I wouldn't want to live anywhere that wasn't reasonably close to somewhere with culture and fun though it's worth it to pay for that
mircea_popescu: haha we're exact opposite ends of the cycle.
i'm sick of peace and quiet.
cazalla: that's what
i'm doing in 18-24 months MisterE
MisterE:
I'm old done enough cities
MisterE: yea
I sort of did want to live in a beach town a coupl eyears
mircea_popescu: but
i just said "most places that aren't california, new york, pairs etc"
MisterE: yea
I would never live in sg because of the cost or hk also the space
Apocalyptic:
i read somewhere it's becoming the most expensive city in the world
mircea_popescu: how not ?
i've lived pretty much all over the world. living space costs you something in the range of a dollar per square foot per year.
MisterE: well you can't match the cost of living here in most places where Western comforts are available granted though
I've given up on most of them just because of changing
MisterE:
I get out to hk and cx and sg often so BKK is a great base
MisterE:
I irc a lot and hang out at the foreign corespondent's club and stay sane that way
mircea_popescu: MisterE actually
i think
i get whart you mean re vacations. costa rica is a pleasure, but yeah the locals are really slow.
cazalla:
i thought people go to thailand for sex tourism?
MisterE:
I tell you it really wears on me at times
MisterE: they really are dumb
I mean
I dont want to be racist but Thailand is run and full of dumb people
MisterE: Thailand is where
I taught
fluffypony: MisterE:
I think that's sometimes/often a product of "
I inherited money so making money was a matter of only making a few major mistakes"
MisterE: that and the no fail policy are why
I left as fast as
I did
MisterE: mircea_popescu: yea
I just read your PR post on your blog about customers :)
fluffypony: but what
I've seen happen is that some IT guy gets the bright idea to cut down on licensing costs by going OO/LO
MisterE:
I dunno why they, Asians at least, simply can't get it in their head that there are other options.
fluffypony: well
I'm talking more from a business stand point than an education one
MisterE:
I loved teaching the young kids but the uni level
I just hated
MisterE: yea it's terrible
I got out of teaching ASAP but good way to land in a country and get the lay of the land and make a few connections
fluffypony: MisterE: yeah
I never understood that,
I always figured educators would want to use whatever was cheap and accessible, but MS has a foothold that isn't going away
mircea_popescu:
i never would, personally, which is why
i don't teach there.
mircea_popescu: ok.
i now appreciate the shit you folks have to deal it.
MisterE: the education system in many countries turns out the most low quality product
I could ever imagine
fluffypony:
I tried teaching someone markdown the other day
mircea_popescu:
i guess that's where we differ.
i'd have forced all kids write .txt
pankkake: dropbox provides easy file versionning and synchronisation. personally,
I use git, but it's not the same crowd
fluffypony:
I tried doing the FTP thing ages ago with someone
mircea_popescu: MisterE so what's the problem to
i dunno, dumpingthem on a server with apache ?
MisterE: mircea_popescu just doesn't deal with any non-technical people
I don;t think :)
fluffypony: if it's with technical people
I'd rather use git for versioning/sharing
MisterE: few other use cases but
I agree and hardly use it at all these days
MisterE: sometimes when
I was teaching
I had to have my students download files
MisterE:
I dumped all cloud services except Mega last year
mircea_popescu: all this twitter chatter about omg dropbox.
i never used it, because
i didn't fucking like the idea a decade ago. now everyone stops liking the idea.
i guess we all end up in the same spot eventually.
fluffypony: when
I was at 45s left
I started panic moving
moiety: except castling... that shit is never going in,
i fear
