to print nonsense re how 'we did it ~in spite~ of
the management', aha.

http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-12#1519897 << yes,
the us was inconceivably wealthy. i nthat 1985-1990 half decade / 5yrplan it could have literally convinced
the globe
to do anything.
this is ultimate wealth. sadly
they decided
to use
that capital
to convince
the globe "saddam had nuclear weapons" and "green energy/blabla ecolotardisms and assorted danquayleisms" instead.
trinque: the mircea_popescu/asciilifeform
threads are probably
the best source historians will have in 3-500 yrs

trinque, i do not believe you will find such a
thing as a useful history of rus' 20th century in
this language, like you have say a useful history of
the latin centuries 3-5.
BingoBoingo: Apparently
three of
the four other quarterfinals also ended in 0-0
ties
BingoBoingo: In
the saga of
the worst sport, futbol. Uruguay was eliminated from
the Copa America by Peru in a game where
they put
the ball in
the goal
three
times during regulation play, none of which counted for various femstate reasons. Lost
the 0-0
tie in a sort of coinflip dressed as a shootout.
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile in local news and international observers:
https://archive.is/6YMHN "Una delegación de observadores internacionales que arribaron a Uruguay para las elecciones internas de los partidos políticos fueron asaltados mientras cenaban en un restaurante" "Entraron cinco o seis encapuchados rompiendo la puerta de vidrio.
Todos
tenían revólveres y máscaras y algunos escopetas"
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> where
the fuck's
the whole manticore
thing coming from
then ?! << During hanbot's missionary work
to
tardstalk,
the manticore piece was one of
the arts commisioned. Don't have
the link on hand, but seems like a 2013
thing
mp_en_viaje: where
the fuck's
the whole manticore
thing coming from
then ?!
mp_en_viaje: also, anyone recall
the logline where (iirc ben_vulpes ?) described alf being in some sort of oooh, it wasn't manticore, it was valkyrie.
mp_en_viaje: you will be mentioned in my current article which may have
to also be my will.
ave1: I
think I'm pressing
the right buttons on
this gcc build but it simply does not work
ave1: after a week of failure, a day at
the beach awaits
ave1: at
time like
these I wish I had a store full of good remarks in my head, instead of
tons of ways
to program a stupid computer
BingoBoingo: In developing news, Mercosur and
the EU signed some sort of free
trade agreement
today.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> aint cr
the land of famous rope bridges , 300m+ ? << Peruana grew up with
those
things. She's not a fan.
mp_en_viaje: i mean
they're kinda cool as an "activity", but
they're not real bridges,
they're more like a niovelty.
mp_en_viaje: there's a reason
there's not bridges made with no pontoons. at least not over anything you can't jump.
mp_en_viaje: yes, but
they're still a scrap of
textile hung from
two points.
jurov: asciilifeform: bicycles need care
to prevent stealing. scooter you just
take with
a111: Logged on 2019-06-28 10:23 mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform,
there's a disease of stupidity, "who
the fuck wants
tablet, makes smartphone look good, who
the fuck wants smartphone, makes atari look good, who
the fuck wants atari, makes ibm at look good" etc etc.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i intend
to publish
the q3 nsa report sometime
today/tomorrow.
technically early, but we don't have
that much movement
that anything'll get missed imo. do you have anything i don't know about has
to go in ?
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, lmao,
the usg dept of state has an organization of imaginary states from
the continent,
taking "decisions" and whatnot ?
mp_en_viaje: there is such a
thing as evil in
the world, and it's
this preference for
the worse of
the underclass.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform,
there's a disease of stupidity, "who

☟︎ BingoBoingo: But like US rental property disease, rarely have people paid (or declined
to pay) more for less
BingoBoingo: Probably more money could have been had building
them with a substantial column lock and marketing
them for 18 cuatos of XXXX pesos
BingoBoingo: But yes, whether a scooter got used or not during
the day it is night collected for charging.
BingoBoingo: Like clockwork, everynight, and everynight
they come earlier for
the scooters.
BingoBoingo: There's folks who come by with motorcycle-trucks in
the night
to collect
them for recharging here
mp_en_viaje: i
think people just step off and leave once out of charge ?
a111: Logged on 2019-06-27 17:43 BingoBoingo: But
the flood of electric shitboards is ~litter. No idea how any single one of
the company expects
to make ROI on
them. Not with
the casualty rate.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-27 17:10 asciilifeform: radius of error
typically was such
that could put asciilifeform's home
town into iraq.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-27 17:06 asciilifeform: afaik
the last english periodical for intelligent non-professional who 'friends with his head' , was 'scientific american'. i have a set of
these here, 1960-1990. pretty good, but no comparison with e.g. 'kvant'.
mp_en_viaje: and yes, sure as fuck my father's oltcit came with complete manual, incl parts inventory, description, etc. you could have MADE one, if had
the cnc mills and patience.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-22 00:50 mircea_popescu: people did
that sort of
thing, back
then. and all
the fuckbook
tards who paint
the dude (rightfully or not, i don't give a shit) as
the summum malum never as much as put
together a fucking lego box.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-22 00:50 mircea_popescu: but
take
this forinstance :
thorouyghly hated politician active
these days MADE his own fucking ARO (70s romanian SUV). OUT OF PARTS. WHICH HE BOUGTH.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-27 16:59 asciilifeform: culture-of-literacy was pervasive, and such
that is even difficult
to describe
to
the uninitiated
today. e.g. virtually ALL manufactured objects of any complexity
came with schematics, exactly like e.g. FG
today
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: I'm inclined
to believe
the split happens as described, but given
the marketing of medicine in
the US can't rule out some dorks
taking benadryl for daytime allergies, Prozac for
their sexless depression, and other benadryl for sleep chemically shaping
their brain into dementia
mp_en_viaje: entirely possible,
they'll end up with a pile of dementia as a result of smoke bans.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, exactly
that's my
theory : split 1 : a1
the ones helped / b1
the ones
that didn't need help ; split 2 : a2
the ones demented ; b2
the ones not demented.
the idea is a1 a2 are ~same, and in
this context you can't pretend
they're "a population".
they're
two.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-27 15:58 asciilifeform: ( fwiw i suspect
that cia selling dope ~in usa~ really is 'employees using office equp. for personal gain', rather
than political project. consider, you have fleet of seekrit planes, airstrips, 0 customs inspections, how couldja ~not~
traffic dope )
BingoBoingo: mp_en_viaje: In
this case it seems
to be dementia hitting at younger portions of
the extended life span. Could be
the ones affected younger are more defective. Dementia
though
tends
to be a rot of
the cholinergic system.
mp_en_viaje: and it's not a
technological discussion. it's a matter of philosophy, as in, internalized worldviews.
mp_en_viaje: no, nobody cares about
the dorks outside oxford.
the monkery itself, just gave up on its own shit. multiple
times.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, "dementia risk" as used
there is simply
the result of longer life spans.
the brain decays, all successful medicine carries
the risk of dementia in
this sense.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, it's still in
the
trilema byline rotation.
a111: Logged on 2019-06-27 15:29 asciilifeform: esp. given where
the latter 'by morons'
mp_en_viaje: (the reference here is : all dying cultures are china shops.
they become reflexive as
they become sterile ; no longer capable of distinguishing
the important from
the inconsequential,
they aim
to
machinally "preserve" themselves.)
a111: Logged on 2019-06-27 15:27 asciilifeform: for half century whole 'civilized world'
trained for replay of ww2, and shat pants with fear. of whom, exactly, of 'fractally fucked morons' ? who fears moron, and why ?
mp_en_viaje: also
the epistemic sign of "we have no fucking idea wtf's going on
there"
a111: Logged on 2019-06-27 15:26 asciilifeform: in re: e.g.
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-06-27#1920320 , i find
the 'civilized' world's pov re sovok
to be profoundly schizoid, and quite reminiscent of e.g. hitler's of
the j00z -- i.e. somehow simultaneously 'imbeciles, incapable of constructive work' and 'devilish genius
that controls world'
