mircea_popescu: the advice is to stfu and read. which is hopefull what yu've been doing the past year or so
mircea_popescu: <usagi> Well Bingo it's true I am eccentric. I am pretty sure a lot of people think i'm nuts. But dangerous? I'm just asking what the deal is with that one <<< you massively overestimate your own ability, and then derp about it in an unconvincing but ceaseless manner which entraps the more idiotic bystanders.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: I mean the 1992 LA riots only really lasted what, six days? << how long do you think a town will burn.
