mircea_popescu: notwithstanding that the lid was you know, on a thread for crying out loud. and since i punched the holes from outside, notwithstanding that there were jagged shards of metal pointing his way, which he could i guess sorta- avoid. tho he mostly looked to be jumping blindly.
mircea_popescu: what did he do ? he kept jumping. trying to push the lid off with his tiny nose. ding-ding-ding-ding
mircea_popescu: and i get a good look at the guy, you know ? after all, this had been his land for a long long time, generations of his forefathers had hunted for hayseeds and whatnot on complicated , traditional walk patters all over the field of my garden
mircea_popescu: a little later, the guy is caught, of course. so i put him in a large glass jar with a metal lid, after punching some holes with a screwdriverr in that lid.
mircea_popescu: so i know it's a mouse, right ? and so i get a large bowl, and tape some floss to a pack of ciggs. put some cheese under the propper bowl and get back to chatting.
mircea_popescu: something like that. so one night while in here, i see movement in the corner of my eye
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: for centuries prior, that land had been - how do you call fields cultrivated with hay ?

mircea_popescu: much like cellars create the possibility of very uncomfortable sleep in the dank darkness.
mircea_popescu: it creates the POSSIBILITY of it asciilifeform. not the actuiality and not really the obligaiton.
mircea_popescu: if they can't have had so agreed, they in fact didn't so agree.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this convention, like all things man made, is attendant on it being possible.
mircea_popescu: just because it's practically inconvenient doesn't make it less the correct solution.
mircea_popescu: jurov look, if you let poor people drive, there's no way to not have mandatory insurance.
mircea_popescu: well not that many. maybe guatemala and assimilated shitholes.
mircea_popescu: but they had a towncar service that would basically go anywhere.
mircea_popescu: you know i lived there just fine w/o driving or owning a car.
mircea_popescu: i don't see much in that. so some asshole kid thinks himself special, got roughed up in the slightest.
mircea_popescu: ias, Vittorio Emanuele punched Amedeo twice in the face."
mircea_popescu: "Currently the leadership of the House of Savoy is contested by two cousins: Vittorio Emanuele, Prince of Naples, who used to claim the title of King of Italy, and Prince Amedeo, Duke of Aosta, who still claims the title of the Duke of Savoy. Their rivalry has not always been peaceful — on May 21, 2004, following a dinner held by King Juan Carlos I of Spain on the eve of the wedding of his son Felipe, Prince of Astur

mircea_popescu: you think i write complicatedly, try morley for a spin
mircea_popescu: anyway, re the original copy-paste point : i feel like i could practically translate my romanian articles mocking the romanian "press" and its associated "blogosphere" word for word, just substitute names.
mircea_popescu: i dun think much of the concept of everyone being able to have their "own" car
mircea_popescu: good thing to do in prison, you know ? as it's requiring memory-only, no tools.
mircea_popescu: actually maybe you should write the book, except in russian. larger market.
mircea_popescu: i could prolly write a book of psychoantropology on the topic, but sadly it'd be rather incomprehensible in english without a ton of notes which kinda ruin the whole thing, and for 5 romanians able to read and write it's scarcely worth the year o' work.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, it is shocking, outrageous but also very amusing to see just how copy-pasted the final days us is from the peak of romania. it's almost as if instead of the romanian idiots copying teh superior us businessmen, the reverse happened.
mircea_popescu: give them a little now and a little later they'll be sucking the c0k and doing a good job of it for years.

mircea_popescu: but yeah, i'd have listened to it. the shit we talk about with the slavegirls alone would make an hour of excellent show pretty much daily.
mircea_popescu: romanians are neither very litigious nor is the local fcc very tough, but to make up for it ro publishers are very very poor.
mircea_popescu: in very winchell fashion i insisted the contract include an indemnity clause tho, and well... fell through.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i nearly had my radio show in romanian a few years ago.

mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform>
http://www.mekanizmalar.com/desmodromics.html << i read desdemona in there for some reason, which reminds me of a story. picture youthful mp at maly, for a staging of othello, in russian. now, bearin in mind that in romanian "zdreanta" means rag or figuratively whore, picture youthful mp hearing a very decided othello burst out "davai zdreanta, desdiemona!!1" and go into incontrollable peels of laughter
mircea_popescu: this is not the case in any natural language, poetry exists anywhere.

mircea_popescu: * asciilifeform has seen this said about more than one obscure natural language, it always seems to be a reflection of the linguist's ineptitude, in practice. << quite. it's not true of inuit languages any more it's true of russian.
mircea_popescu: prolly a lot more usability, but little fundamental revision
