a limit to the number of dice you can roll simultaneously

a set of casino quality dice

a nuclear apocalypse kick. Drinking grain alcohol and distilled water

a chocolate cake with raspberry compote and
a chocolate ganache to boot
BingoBoingo: beer's not drinking, that's taking
a hydration break

a thing?

moiety: BingoBoingo: it was
a random birthing of creativity on your part i think.
benkay: this is
a correct use of "in extremis, correct?"
BingoBoingo: moiety: Maybe? I dunno... Loud dog that grows to that size as an adult, as opposed to one that's still
a growing puppy at that size seems more practical to feed
artifexd: I'm going to Ecuador for

artifexd: Beautiful. Not
a GSD. ;) But still beautiful.
BingoBoingo: moiety: Well, it is
a guard dog breed and I have nothing for such
a dog to guard, especially while not being so friendly
artifexd: Oh, the ball has
a 100 punctures in it, but it is still her favorite.
benkay: lol i can't give g

cazalla: artifexd: i can't wait to pull
a similar joke on my son

a dog allow some stranger to leash it with
a belt without

a brown bull mastiff puppy about 24 inches tall at the withers. Dude has it leashed to his belt says it ran in front of his truck....
moiety: artifexd: the one i grew up with was incredibly nervous. perfect show lines aside from the fear so we got her as
a pet. most wonderful creature

a gentleman out other day with 5 GSDs. all differing colourings. must have been
a breeder
moiety: mama-mo just acquired
a new pooch - cocker spaniel tho
kakobrekla: you have
a hug fund? thats new to me. did it ipo?
moiety: ive been trying to track how much this stuff would take. they need
a dayfund or an undocumented skill
kakobrekla: but then due to the small difference in prices and procedures to get
a bigger one
mircea_popescu: mike_c kakobrekla was making
a fucking machine then got carried away
kakobrekla: but i mean if there was
a real need i would prolly invest the time to assemble it again
mike_c: wtf is that monstrosity. looks like
a loom
mircea_popescu: "Once cesareans are no longer available, we should expect
a lot of those deaths will be in childbirth. "
mike_c: moiety: lol, i'll start
a petition

a bunch of pm spam if you still accepted pm's off your whitelist

a btc grrl?
moiety: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand now you can calculate why im support staff rather than
a forerunner....
moiety: HOLY SHIT did you just say
a manul sized beast with manul fluff
BingoBoingo: moiety: My concern is that it seems any cat of ridable size is probably going to be person eating. Now if you could get
a horse with Manul hair...
moiety: my ambition in lfe is to have
a picture like mircea's pyramids, but with me on
a giant manul instead
BingoBoingo: mike_c: If ther is anything to learn from the Atc games, bomb sniping is going to be "
a thing"
assbot: Choosing
A Linux Desktop Environment for Newbs and n00bs | Bingo Blog
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: It is
a RHEL clone so pushes
a person to look towards general Unixy admining habits instead of very OS X type solutions like apt-get
BingoBoingo: Duffer if you really want
a *nix for not very *nix'y people Scientific Linux is pretty good.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yeah, swing the thing as hard as you like and on
a forgiving surface it has
a maximum impact force.
mircea_popescu: if teh muricans really just wanted "something that shoots and
a bus ticker there", i'd have been really worried about the afghanistani.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the only problem is... well... in his 38 years of 'being
a dom" so far, he's had
a slave for
a total of 3 years, if you add it all up.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to put this in
a better perspective : i do not have dedicated tools to discipline my slaves. i use whatever i feel like using at the time, or nothing at all. i've used vacuum cleanning tubes, wire hangers, braided electric cord, belts, chunks of wook, rolled up newspaper, whatever. cooking spatulas.
mircea_popescu: and the latin influence comes from the veterans that settled there, much like

a little shorter ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: More possible, but I dunno I'd count that
a pollutionacolypse.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: For sure. I imagine at somepoint biotech polution may fit the bill, but we are talking about the difference between getting
a straight flush and
a royal flush in
a game of Blackjack.
mircea_popescu: "Her blog's comments section is
a sort of Land of the Lost: people who inhabit the comments sections of unmoderated blogs, and who are perpetually miffed that no half-decent blog will post their comments."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform what the fuck is going on in this guy's head, engaging in
a debate on these terms ?
