mircea_popescu: like a contemporary fable. really,
the WOLF did
that ? a speaking wolf ? wow!
mircea_popescu: lity is entirely self-deconstruction of
the most
transparent ilk.
mircea_popescu: also, for
the amateur entomologists :
the body of work published by
the us agitprop wrt
to vladislav surkov during
the past five years is a splendid mirror
to interpret
the decaying empire itself. all
that hero worship, all
that fake fear
that "someone", obviously "somewhere far away" may be you know, mixing democratic rhetoric with undemocratic intent, creating a "post
truth" world and generally constructing a menacing unrea
diana_coman: eh, on
the other hand he might need
to
train in between claims seeing how his skill is not
that high yet so a
trip back
to
town anyway
mircea_popescu: not possibru, unless she sheds her skin every
three months like some sort of naga
shinohai: The brunette with
the
tat on side, one star for each gargled dick ?
mircea_popescu: nothing harder in
this world
than stuff which require pascal's esprit de geometrie.
shinohai: meh
they are close
to
town anyways
shinohai: I'm an idiot, I should have put bundles in
table.
mircea_popescu: basically
the right way is
to get 14 bundles, put
them in
table, walk over
there, move
them into one claim,
then
take
them out one at
time exploit claims
then when done put product in
table walk it back
shinohai: Lucky me all
these berry claims are close
together. :D
mircea_popescu: besides, it's not my job
to chase him. guy scammed, let him put
the elbow grease in
to fix it.
shinohai: anywho is I find a way
to contact
them I'll hit you up if you don't mind signing a message from
that addy.
shinohai: They could at least include a sigaint address or something since already on
tor
shinohai: I dunno if it was intentional or what ... but no way
to contact admins or anything
that I have found
thus far.
shinohai: For
that Mexican gardener look?
shinohai: I left
that goddamned page up for 3 days
shinohai: "The Republic's efforts
to locate Peace on Earth, going as far as
the gates of Hell, resulted in SFYL as
the forum admins selectively scammed MP for 0.1 BTC"
BingoBoingo: And definitely
too far out of spec for bottled "single barrel" origin product.
BingoBoingo: Likely barrel were
to far out of spec for blending into standard 20-30/bottle product so "exclusive" label attached.
mircea_popescu: well, if you buy by
the barrel you should in principle get a barrel.
BingoBoingo: But not flawless or even graded. Sold in private wool over
the eyes "experience" swindle.
mircea_popescu: just going by it generally. esltards pretend whiskey
to be an actual drink (it utterly is not, fruit alcohol is
the only stuff worth drinking), and if we grant
that faulty premise
then 40 bucks for a quart of flawless whiskey compares favourably with a middle of
the road cognac going more in
the 100-200 range.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: You'd be surprised. One of
those
things with quite a bit of variation depending on
the particular
time and liquor store.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo 40 bucks a bottle is actually pretty great price for
the merchandise i'd say
phf: i don't know what
to do with
that knowledge, like ark of
the covenant, it might be ultimate weapon
BingoBoingo: Wait, does
this mean Iran or Russia did WTC?
mircea_popescu: what do you mean how so ? like
tv killed
the radio star,
they were
there and jewing
the place up
then
the jews came along and stole it from
them.
phf: i have
to add
this as an asset in an ongoing hostilities with my iranian colleagues over "things
that we have invented and you stole from us", which started as
this
things do over my casual remark
that samovar was invented by russians
phf: armenia wasn't part of russia until 19th century, and in 16th century it wouldn't yet be under iranian influence, so it's possible
that it was brought all
the way from iran as bademjan
mircea_popescu: seems improbable,
they come from
the russian motherland of armenian ssr.
phf: there's a joke in a su commedy set in 16th century russia, where a character is listing dishes at a lavish feast, black caviar in a giant container, red caviar in a smaller plate, and "caviar from foreign lands, eggplant caviar" barely a spoonful. i sort of always assumed because of
that movie
that at some point eggplants were near impossible
to source around where
the
term "eggplant caviar" originated
mircea_popescu: and i have nfi why
they call "caviar"
things which remind
them of ... cheap roe salads. but w/e
phf: hah,
that's why i like baba ganoush, but i don't know
the recipe for later. when cooked russian style it's somewhat different from what
they sell as baba ganoush in u.s.
BingoBoingo: The best summer squash is
the Pattypan squash.
There is no contest here and assertions
to
the contrary are crimes (libel, defamation, fraud) against nature.
phf: mircea_popescu: oh it's great as a zakuska, i was just
thinking
that i should make some "eggplant caviar" (no idea what
the proper
translation is)
phf: hmm, yeah, i have hard
time with
that whole direction, squash, eggplant

trinque:
the guy who has
to ask an authority how and whether
to fuck
truly is another gender.
BingoBoingo: phf:
trinque is right. Don't
think of
them as potatoes.
Think of
them as a sort of underground squash.
trinque: you can
throw in a chopped up green apple
too
BingoBoingo: Well depends on
the person?
There's a bunch of stuff
there
that could be variably
toxic depending on
the specific person. Probably less allergy and more varying vulnerability
to poison.
trinque: phf:
they're good with something savory on 'em, say a fried egg and some sausage
ben_vulpes: is
there anything
to
this "nightshade allergy"?
☟︎ ben_vulpes: hey i just said "PROCURE ME A DIVERSITY OF
TUBER"
mircea_popescu: i don't much care for
the sweet stuff, so i don't usually eat it. i
think it's acquired
thanksgiving
taste.
phf: i don't get sweet potatoes, i've been
trying
to work with
them, but
they don't seem
to ever come out
tasty. i even
tried
them as fries..
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Because
they are compeltely different
things. White potatoes are a nightshade
tuber and sweet potatoes are a morning glory
tuber.
ben_vulpes: missed
the front of
the pile of parked club cars by ~10 feet
ben_vulpes: local club has a great story about a noob slamming a brand new focus into a rock wall playing with
this
ben_vulpes: when yaw rate exceeds some envelope parameters it dumps power back
to
the front and yanks
the car back under control (in
theory)
mircea_popescu: ah yes, but on gravel! ro standard gravel has
this 1cm ish shards
thing, it's a horror.
trinque: this is what
texas "beaches" are for
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes well, you know how you can make
the car skid if you steer it ineptly ?
mircea_popescu: which consisted of accelerating and
then steer-locking
the car in a gravel pit.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it may interest you
to know i first met / picked out / hired my best driver ever when he was 17 and was doing "spinnies" with a group of similarly minded idiots
ben_vulpes: replacing
that bumper is going
to cost me 450 in plastic and another 175 in shipping oil
mircea_popescu: i wonder if
they actually had a hood engineer sit around
thinking about
this
ben_vulpes: schedule is a matter of personal
taste
trinque: the guy who has
to ask an authority how and whether
to fuck
truly is another gender.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Nah, because wear items always evade permanent solutions.
They aren't plinths.
BingoBoingo: But
the PB Blaster is pretty much nothing but solution... except in locks... or electronics
ben_vulpes: source of and solution
to
the world's woes
BingoBoingo: PB Blaster, Patience, and Pushing is
the amended prescription
ben_vulpes: i
think it's a mechanical jam, possibly
the glass is now out of
true
ben_vulpes: relatedly, hijinks on
the corvette hood jammed
the right side release
BingoBoingo: It's only
time before he finds a boyfriend with "frame"
to bring home.
BingoBoingo: Motherfucker *wants*
to get cuck'd by a couple bits of plastic
ben_vulpes: i ain't even
take remedial kink and
that shit's retarded
ben_vulpes: "we even picked
them out
together online" wahaha
