asciilifeform: what did the chix do to BingoBoingo !... when i saw him, was pure muscle, like wolf
mircea_popescu: i like the "If you see someone wearing a motorcycle helmet have an accident, DO NOT pull their helmet off for any reason. By all means, loosen the chin strap, but leave the helmet on and let the paramedics or doctors deal with it. You don’t know what that helmet is holding together"
mircea_popescu: leaving aside how i thought scrub is a daytime tv drama franchise, wtf, it's a shop now too ?! here's what "see also" imgur recommends for me : https://imgur.com/gallery/z1TSZ6D
mircea_popescu: I VLAME 70S AMERICA!
a111: Logged on 2018-08-29 20:40 Mocky: and then on the way home traffic jam due to moped rider who not only unable to maintain 30 in a 45, but also (as seen when I finally passed him) had mirrors *taped* on, and not even with duck tape but with medical tape
Mocky: and then on the way home traffic jam due to moped rider who not only unable to maintain 30 in a 45, but also (as seen when I finally passed him) had mirrors *taped* on, and not even with duck tape but with medical tape ☟︎
Mocky: tiny blue 'my little pony' car pulled into the spot next to me, damn these things are small. I've seen before, i suppose many times but this one even had a gnome hop out and scurry off to the market.
mircea_popescu: but consider the german of https://8ch.net/fascist/res/185.html#185 "I feel like my German translation is shit today. It's been a year since I've been in Europe and approaching six months plus of no classes"
mats: i've met people like that, e.g. kids of missionaries, their chinese skills were well regarded at my church
mats: i thought the aboriginals was funny s'all
asciilifeform: or what am i missing
mircea_popescu: meh, 2nd hand. never works. i didn't learn sicilian from "italian government girl from rome working in palermo" either.
asciilifeform: i recall aha
mircea_popescu: i suspect i might be too stupid to appreciate chinese "lang".
asciilifeform: and which one are we , i for instance haven't learned cn yet
asciilifeform: as i gather, they treat the anglos similarly to how tmsr -- take anyffing not bolted down, but do not hurry to give back.
asciilifeform: nuland already strapped, i suppose, in parachute, waiting.
mircea_popescu: hmm, fuck me, i'm wrong. they only make about 17mn or so a year, both genders. for some reason i tought moar like 25.
asciilifeform: for all i know, they managed to birth only 100k for all 3.
asciilifeform: possibly consists of >1 cuttable entities , that would fit, but i do not know what they are yet.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: which is why i have fundamental ??? re cn, it dun fit in any box i can think of to date
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-29#1845694 << 'good shit' is not the only way to spend proceeds of plunder & theft -- can also spend like heroin addict, on staving off 'cold turkey'. which is what usg does, i.e. supplies 300M office plankton with cheap petrol, plastic house, plastic car. ☝︎
asciilifeform: first kingdom where they ban microshit , where will it be ? ( and can i buy ticket ! )
asciilifeform: as for '5000yr wisdom of china', i'd at least consider to take it seriously if they, say, quit running microshit.
asciilifeform: the longer the usg show goes on , the moar intricately irreversible horrors will be born. which is why i do not buy worth one shit the hypothesis of 'wisdom of forward-looking wise 5000yr china' . they're civilization of the ant, 0 values but 'wealth' of the most immediate pov.
asciilifeform: i certainly do not.
asciilifeform: why , i still dunget, would they do this.
mircea_popescu: "borrow". chinese ppls give them freebies. what, i know a guy named shaun who has a girl who's not a whore who he lends money to now and again.
mircea_popescu: we do this cyclical "i don't understand why figment of my imagination is something i imagine" "because you do" "but what sort of worship do i owe figment of my imagination ?" "none" "what about waking every morning at 5 and saying figment don't exist in a hoarse voice ?" "nope"
asciilifeform: but if somehow item seeing sunlight would help hitler to die -- then i'd like to see it .
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i personally dun give even nanofuck whether knox contains megatonne of au, or 0, or nixon's used condom from when he was permitted inside.
asciilifeform: Mocky: ah lol i misread
Mocky: I never saw it while there, rumored to be there tho
Mocky: asciilifeform, 'i hate my job' is the internalization of the problem, opposite of questioning
asciilifeform: Mocky: us army is not waffen ss tho. visit a base, it's full of the typical 'i hate my job' schmuck that you meet anywhere else, construction sites, mines, wherever
asciilifeform: if you send spawn to 'uncertified' school, yer a criminal, if bury parent in uncertified tomb, also criminal, if... well errybody already knows, i think
asciilifeform: normal stones, see, cost dough. 10k or so, last i saw.
mircea_popescu: and i don't mean no "sentimental" bullshit, either. casa quantu stai e tirrinu quantu viri.
mircea_popescu: hey, let them buy bitcoin, i don't care how they go about it.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i dun subscribe to the model where folx who dun have a usg.'foundation' to meritwash their spawn into backdoor-inheriting meritwashed moneys, are 'shit parent'
asciilifeform: 'oops i accidentally pissed in my left ventricle'
mircea_popescu: i'm sorry, i mean ~east~ coast only.
mircea_popescu: i don't actually know any girls whose parents are cash-positive.
mircea_popescu: i'm sure the "not a tax" tax however DIDNT get fucking cancelled. much like the spanish-american war DID get cancelled, but the tax on phone introduced "for" it is still there.
mircea_popescu: straight from whorse's mouth : "i thought doctor visits were free on obamacare. it doesn't even do that ?" "affordable care act got cancelled"
a111: Logged on 2017-06-29 17:32 BingoBoingo: http://www.jameslafond.com/article.php?id=8142 << "Her attorney informed us this morning, that although the deed is being assigned to my sister, my brother and I, that if my mother requires nursing home care through Medicare at any point over the next five years, that the Feds will take the house to pay the bills. "
mircea_popescu: "oh, calculus isn't fgor everyone" "money -- also not for everyone. i'll take all yours now."
mircea_popescu: i have a good mind to start billing trump. "25 yo can't calculus"
mircea_popescu: no soviets in the east ; and no cn/kr/etc permitted to fly. for same "smelly" reason, i suspect. the koreans aren't all that bad these days.
mircea_popescu: raf dominated the east << i mean, the west, of course.
mircea_popescu: i can see it.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-17 18:52 mircea_popescu: there's two kinds of i won : the "i won because you're fucking stupid" and the "omfg i'm so cool i won". the latter never works out.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i guess.
BingoBoingo: Doing an alt-history retrospective I am starting to think that if I would have enlisted... Coast Guard would have been the way to go. Practice useful skills like boarding ships, they do that all the time. When's the last time the Marines boarded a shipp in anger?
mats: asciilifeform: not sure about the details but i wouldn’t be surprised if many pilots were at least 1LTs by the time they get out of training to actual unit
mircea_popescu: hey guise, i know how to to barrel rolls. i played some video games.
trinque: lel, I thought this was what passed for "low-level commissioned officer" in chairforce these days
asciilifeform: trinque: i suspect that drone detail is considered 'cushy' , and reserved for necro-sexual trans-species black whatevers-in-wheelchair etc
trinque: fortunately disappointing enough that I didn't end up stomping around the desert or flying drones for a living
asciilifeform: revisiting upstack, to the barrels -- i suspect that the reason why nobody bothers with this procedure in usa, is that barrels are sold openly
asciilifeform: ( i added pb to 'pb-free' rubbish , to properly melt with ordinary irons . but same principle worx elsewhere, universally )
asciilifeform: i suspect that it is even possible to cheat, lower melting temp of the pb with (surprisingly cheap) gallium
mircea_popescu: warm enough lead to be workable is not such a big deal, can hold i nhand with leather strap.
asciilifeform: i.e. the clean rod
asciilifeform: they did this in su also. i still dunget why can't restore these to proper function -- yes melting out pb will destroy the temper on the barrel, but can go and re-anneal it
asciilifeform: i think the same people had a mutilated PPSH also
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: phunphakt -- i saw 'tommy' sold in shop in usa. but on closer look, turned out, it was a cruel mockery, they tore out insides and replaced with deliberately incompatible firing mechanism, so as to fire from closed bolt , per usg diktat
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i picture her as gigantic guinea pig.. << What puzzles me is that the hairless cultivars all seem to be in the pet trade. Due to their size you gotta defuzz the skin instead of skinning them lest they get to dry during cooking.
mircea_popescu: by VOLUME, i don't mean by fucking mass, that'd be a total blowout.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo i sell reconditioned tommyguns, cheap. << Sweet, apparently .45 ACP is hard to find around these parts though
mircea_popescu: i dub august the month of mircescu mining! MMM!
mircea_popescu: it sometimes fails for me too, but i've not yet been able to get enough of a fix on it to report something useful.
diana_coman: hello mircea_popescu , I already got Mocky's bot to fail once!
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i sell reconditioned tommyguns, cheap.
asciilifeform: i picture her as gigantic guinea pig..
asciilifeform: tho i suspect he is closer to converging onto ocelot
a111: Logged on 2018-08-28 16:03 mircea_popescu: say trinque can add http://bimbo.club/?feed=rss2 ? so i see how much beating bimbo needs on this count.
mod6: trinque: your August invoice is incorrect, and I'll cancel the one currently open and give you the 0.002 price.
mod6: I'm gonna invoice as soon as I have confirmation. I apologize. I just wanna make sure it's right before I do; measure twice, cut once.
mircea_popescu: alright, so do i pay or doyou wanrt to invoice ?
mod6: I was still referring to our website for the pricing, and we had not removed that line item from the page. So where I thought it was 0.003 BTC per month, I perhaps should have been charging 0.002.
mod6: That's the thought, yeah. I think a while ago ben_vulpes knocked the price down a bit to make it more appleaing. ( ben_vulpes, plz to correct me if I'm wrong here ). And I didn't know that this had happened.
mircea_popescu: so basically i'm getting a... discount ?
mod6: Thought you guys might like these. I'll throw up a blog post with the specs and stuff if there is interest.
asciilifeform: mod6: lol i have buncha martian keys also, but with handprinted paper faces
mod6: Alright, I'm gonna get back to work here. Will update you all here on this pricing info.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile teh empire is trying, of course, and they're doing it in their usual inept, ineffectual, "she can't say i'm not comfortable" way : http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-26#1844799 . of course. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: but i'm also sure our funels are slack by that sure and unerring sign, that noobs wander in ~here~. it's 1000% easier to get someone interested in "bicoin mmo" than in terrorist organisation ; and maybe 5000% easier to get them interested in "clean reliable hosting". so if in spite of that immense differential #trilema still beats out #pizarro, it means the pizarro funel works at 0.2% efficiency at the very most. which can't
mircea_popescu: and, i'm sure, so would you.
mircea_popescu: i'd love nothing more than a bunch of these from logs.bvulpes.com/pizarro !
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-04-28 12:32 Mocky: I read an article about eulora being a bitcoin mmo. I'm wondering if it's actually a thing.
mircea_popescu: that's all i'm saying, not that pizarro's no good or anything in the vein, but that the flow flows like it flows. republic mgiht pick some people from pizarro rooster for enoblement, not pizarro might pick some people from lordship for making a sale.
mod6: I gotta do a few things here, but I'll be back to sort the rest of the pricing fiasco out.
mod6: But maybe that's the right approach. I dunno.
mod6: Anyway, mircea_popescu, agree with your sentiments here. I just hate to see us slam the door in peoples face without even asking.
mod6: well, I think it ~might~ be.
mod6: mircea_popescu: hey, sorry about that quote. I never did get to invoice you as I was hoping to do that tonight.
mircea_popescu: zx2c4 is still "writing painstaking careful code and giving it to the world for free", darwin fish is still http://btcbase.org/log/2018-04-16#1800306 and will until the day he dies, what, "i'm glad we gave out some posters at $derpcon". ☝︎
