mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo originally he was all excited about derpfoundation. back then we were on speaking terms, so i told him he's nuts. he thought i was nuts. then he got all unexcited, and left. then he came back. now he's leaving.
mircea_popescu: cazalla: my god this hag of a wife, god must be punishing by introducing her to me before bitcoin << tell us your pain brothar. we're the relationship support cult, among other things.

mircea_popescu: there IS some significant ops advantage to not running any one stock db.

mircea_popescu: i never drink again anything that gives me a hangover.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo he has a point there, this "need coffee to wake up" thing is nonsense. i know this experimentally.
