asciilifeform: the king and the donkey might die first.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i thought you two'd be buttbuddies when i ran into him. i'm genuinely surprised you don't already know each other.

mats: is there a particular os you are trying to test?
ben_vulpes: no it's pretty funny, take a break from inseminating cows and mircea_popescu goes all "oh hey if you have a minute"

ben_vulpes: i have been trying to avoid importing the whole internet
asciilifeform: ty mats -- where were these from
ben_vulpes: really don't want to install mongo.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes the best part about that package is that it actually sends (and delivers!) emails from arbitrary email address. i've been sending as hussein.bahamas@whitehouse.org without complaint, gmail inboxes, the works. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i dunno, things move fast in the reddit era.
mircea_popescu: anyway, cnn trading places with al-jazeera to report supportively about wedding ceremonies "accidentally" bombed in santa barbara by a "stray" russian rocket would be something i'd even turn a tv set on for.
ben_vulpes: we're all moving to bali
mircea_popescu: anyway, how's things states-side ? everyone bracing down for the inevitable bombing campaigns of the russian-iranian coallition joint "peacekeeping" missions once the democratically elected president is deposed by a military junta led by an ex-wife of an ex-president ?
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: aye, i could do something like that.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's funny, you know, "why should i dump everything and worship the gringo ?" "because his women live two to the apartment rather than eight."
mircea_popescu: the occasionally buyer of local cunt. these are oscillating between very amused and utterly infuriated.
mircea_popescu: these can also be students hoping to acquire the official letters patent and become middle class
mircea_popescu: these can be workers hoping to make it in the great urban village with its supposed "vida de noche" etc. they were defrauded.
mircea_popescu: working class argentines, principally, who live about 6-8 to a 500sqft apt.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform oh were you asking who pays the rents ?
mircea_popescu: i guess they must.
asciilifeform: well evidently not yet enough by their lights, if order is 'Moar Soy'
mircea_popescu: half ever-so-slightly butcher than the other half.
mircea_popescu: who ? the chinese ? they're practically 1bn lesbians, are you kidding me ?
mircea_popescu: soy being the ~only serious product of the argentine. who seriously expects to live like europeans on the basis of farming.
mircea_popescu: oh : and soy is down in chicago, and is trending down, and the chinese announced they're dropping 20% of maize to plant more soy in mainland china.
mircea_popescu: it's set to blow.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the girls wanna marry, the boys dun wanna live with the inlaws, the old folks don't want to move to the old folks' home at 44 (you should see a) how many of those they have here, must be over 5k distinct old folks homes and b) how many of these stupid cunts are saddled with 2-3 kids aged 20something and looking for a new mate. bitch, seriousy ? go suck your babby momma's cock, you're off the market) and the girls got
mircea_popescu: because they're about as bright as earthworms ?
mircea_popescu: no, they own one and rent another.
asciilifeform: sooo... they rent apt with... the income from their inherited apt ..?
mircea_popescu: they have ~500k units privately held by ~3mn owners in bizarro clan arrangements, and virtually no commercial rental market to speak of.
mircea_popescu: ~everyone. this is the profile of middle class argentinian family : unemployed man que es letrado (=with a law degree, never practiced) + homemaker and their teenaged 2.2 kids, living off a) the man's income from governmental sinecures + the woman's income from her parents' appointed dowry in the shape of real estate. this is it.
asciilifeform: who are the renters?
mircea_popescu: not like the average "middle class" (in his mind only) argentine has any other resources besides renting out an apartment and expecting govt payola for his university "education". neither of which look too good at the moment.
mircea_popescu: the ~only hope to maintain the pretense is by putting a lot of pressure on the monetary supply. so... they will.
mircea_popescu: sales are down to nothing, the people are utterly desperate for food and other basics. girls still wanna marry, this year like all others. etc.
mircea_popescu: the real estate market is holding by a thread. to understand each other : in the same country where the bumpkins imagine real estate goes by 1000-1500 usd per sq meter, they have SERIOUS problems over xmas bonus worth 2000 pesos (~120 dollars), to the point it's a major topic of televised debates.
asciilifeform: what's the excuse for the vacuum job, devaluation a la ruble ?
mircea_popescu: if anyone's looking to buy cheap farmer's [who thinks himself a gentleman] daughters / farms / etc, that's your horizon.
mircea_popescu: seeing how the other, with expatriated goods, ends in march, i would expect the reasonable time for argentina to faceplant in the mud would be about april.
mircea_popescu: this generous measure of voluntary self-rape "ends" on 31st, after being extended a coupla times. meanwhile the govt has been piling on debt at about 2x the rate of the kirscheristas.
mircea_popescu: and in other news nobody gives a shit about : the argentine govt announced an "amnesty" whereby idiots with cash in strongboxes/matresses etc can "blanquear" it, by depositing it in a bank and paying 11% in tax ("to begin with"). same applies to foreign holdings.
mircea_popescu: well then let them l themselves.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i should care what people i don't know wish to preserve ? as it happens, i don't.
asciilifeform: (other than raise the friction to the point where ~nobody can ~ever be arsed to use it)
mircea_popescu: i contacted the author, but he's not bothered to write back, so whatevs. would be a useful service for teh republic it seems to me.
mircea_popescu: alternatively, you could just lift the whole https://github.com/ruffrey/mailsac package.
mircea_popescu: incidentally ben_vulpes would you be amenable to print email received by foo@cascadianhacker.com on wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/foo@cascadianhacker.com for 24 hours ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno of a pill other than replicating the service and closing it to non-l1
asciilifeform: http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/9e3lw/?raw=true << the raw crapola.
asciilifeform: and, https://freedom-to-tinker.com/2016/10/21/bitcoin-is-unstable-without-the-block-reward << the loltron in question.

BingoBoingo: "To fight the evil patriarchy a young hussy barebacked a darky. The result of their sins were quadruplets, not twins : one black, one white and two khaki." << roflmao

trinque: piles of docs could've been his closet full of women's shoes/underwear/pinky-toes too
asciilifeform: it isn't even as if he would have to leave penniless and beg on streets.
asciilifeform: i'd naively picture that if d00d made up his mind to plunder the crown jewels, he would have an escape plan (even if nonsensical, like, e.g., carl force's) in his head. but no.
mircea_popescu: no, just, idiot born in the us, doesn't comprehend how utterly irrelevant it is. because "THE COUNTRY"
asciilifeform: expected to hide among the grizzlies in the forest, or wat.
mircea_popescu: he prolly didn't want to leave
asciilifeform: btw i doubt that it would take otto skorzeny and his merry men, to break martin out of the clink. if he were 'valuable', as prosecutor alleges, he would already be in moscow.
asciilifeform: 'When confronted with specific marked documents he had stolen, only then did the Defendant begin to admit that: (1) he had taken documents and digital files that he knew were classified from his work assignment to his residence and vehicle, and (2) he knew such actions were unauthorized and wrong. He also admitted that he had committed these crimes regularly over many years.'
asciilifeform: i suspect that the folks for whom 'the defense is ironclad' they simply nailgun.
mircea_popescu: the defense is still ironclad. that they stick him in jail anyway is entirely their problem.
asciilifeform: lel, brilliant, it's a marvel that anybody ever gets imprisoned, if it were so easy..
asciilifeform: so he's through.
mircea_popescu: "it's your house" "it's not legal for me to shoot intruders, so no, it's your house"
asciilifeform: and it would appear that his wife has already turned rat.
mircea_popescu: "so how come it's there ?" "you planted it" no we didn't" "mkay"
asciilifeform: the only defense, afaik, that could be attempted, was 'they planted it'
mircea_popescu: "i never saw this before"
asciilifeform: found with the stash
asciilifeform: i.e. 'did the rape? do the ape'
asciilifeform: dunno that there is a defense. the penal code article he was arrested under is a 'strict liability'.
mircea_popescu: if they did or if they didn't, the "i had nothing to do with it" defense is ironclad as far as that goes.
asciilifeform: possibly d00d was not an idiot, and never touched 'clouds.'
