furuknap: Yeah, I spent
a few weeks in Tokyo last winter (2011-2012). Too foreign for me.
zebedee_: Knocked down
a lovely house near me 2 yrs ago. Put up 7 in its place!
zebedee_: Where I live (central Tokyo) they're squeezing ever more people in
a smaller space. If you only observed central Tokyo, you'd swear the population was rising 5-10%
a year.
furuknap: My new slogan: "Diminishing the population of Norway, one citizen at
a time"
furuknap: FFS, we own almost 2% of all US publicly traded shares. More in Europe and slightly less in Asia. For
a population of just over 31, that's
a frigging miracle.
furuknap: It looks like it is
a fairytale but the truth is it is Norway is just lucky. No skill, no abilities, no genius. Just luck.
furuknap: That's because we had our crisis in the 90s and fixed the system. When the erst of the world fell, we went about out daily business, reading about it in the rest of the world like if it was
a minor flood in china.
zebedee_: How so? If it's still based on printing money and fractional reserve, it's just
a slightly shinier turd.
zebedee_: It's the system that's broken. Banking crises are always only
a matter of time; they're part of the system. We need
a new system.
furuknap: Heck, we even pay women to fuck here, as long as they get pregnant after
a while. It's silly, really. they get tens of thousands of US$ to have
a kid. Who the fuck can afford such ridiculousness?
zebedee_: Well looking at France, the US and the UK, I'm not so sure. Time for
a wakeup.
furuknap: They aren't. They're building
a country of lazy, spoiled brats.
zebedee_: I'm happy - been 65 mins since
a block, and this time I'm not waiting on it!
furuknap: We have three location based resources; oil, fish, and our coastline, which resulted in massive oil industry, fishing, and shipping. Oil is
a diminishing asset, we've all but over-fished our coastline, and shipping has had to move out due to ridiculous taxation.
furuknap: No, we didn't. We had
a lot of politicians who had oil and thus screwed the country over. We have one of two companies in Norway of any size that isn't big due to location.
Namworld: I'll turn them into 480 BTC > 821 BTC > 4217 BTC > 5 BTC > 3590 BTC > 0 BTC. In
a matter of 1 day!
inhies: same for me until
a few weeks ago
furuknap: Prices dropped 40% due to low volume. My current dilemma is whether to buy those at
a low price or buy more 100TH when (if) the news on chips come.
furuknap: Exactly. I included
a special section in the article because of that (and TAT).
furuknap: Some kid hadn't understood what
a mining bond was, thus I wrote my latest article to explain. He got mad because he felt cheated that the issuer of PAJKA didn't want to run
a bond like AM runs the company, so he mass-sold the bonds are
a huge loss.
furuknap: [23:35] <zebedee_> I think the west is fucked. The future is Chile, Vietnam, Norway, Singapore, Thailand, etc. At least relatively. >As
a Norwegian, I sadly concur, but it's due to luck, not skill. Norwqy is the fucking luckiest place on earth.
zebedee_: I wonder how long it'll be until I'm accused of being Satoshi, seeing as I speak good English, live in Japan, and am
a C/C++ programmer interested in BTC :)
zebedee_: No shortage of hot japanese girls. Helps
a lot if you speak the lingo though, otherwise chances are low :)
Chaaaang-Noi: sadly i cant really travel with my family in japan, and i dont like to travel alone. id have to find some hot japanese girl to be
a tour guide:)
zebedee_: Spent
a week on Ishigakijima last December with the family. Coldest time, but still about 12-15 degrees.
zebedee_: Ryuukyuu is
a whole island chain; basically Okinawa prefecture. Awesome; 100% recommended. Every time I've been (diff places) I've loved it.
Chaaaang-Noi: sounds like
a plan :) i here Ryukyu just sold for like 3 million usd
zebedee_: So the current plan is get job; get 5 year visa; get permanent residence; work
a bit more to keep
a +ve bank
a/c, then resign and party when BTC hits $1k
zebedee_: Going to porcfest, first time, hopefully fun. But I have
a real job starting soon :(
Chaaaang-Noi: i could not even think about living in
a large city like you
zebedee_: I need
a plan B for when the SHTF.
zebedee_: BTC is such
a web of intrigue.
gribble: Error: "bc.stat" is not

gribble: Error: "bc.stats" is not
a valid command.
optimator: isn't there like
a 30 day wait before you can trade there?
deadweasel: no, but datacenters are just
a hop and skip away.
Chaaaang-Noi: "fresh air and
a cigarette" nothing makes fresh air better than smoke :)
KRS-: I'll be back later..fresh air and
a cigarette..I have to check my pants after looking at these nissans.
deadweasel: oh my that car has
a lot of holes in it.
gribble: Error: "cal" is not
a valid command.
optimator: I think that's
a $50 or $100 parking job :)
optimator: yeah... you pull up in las vegas and hand the guy
a 10?
optimator: I want
a 370! I think that's
a real driver's car
optimator: it felt like
a motorcycle in the turns

a small gathering of 1996 Toyota Supras at my work, one has
a rollcage..i used to like those too

a 260 for
a short while
Diablo-D3: I dunno, countachs have always given me
a boner

a brick
Diablo-D3: you know whats
a nice car Ive always liked?
Diablo-D3: KRS-: yeah, Im more interested in
a black model s
KRS-: inefficent as hell but
a lot of drama
KRS-: Fast electric cars dont fascinate me much..I love
a small or big block with
a big ass blower on top and
a set of carburetors.. Maybe something with
a supercharger from B.D.S. or B&M really turns my crank.
Diablo-D3: and its
a relatively huge executive class car
KRS-: thats
a great 0-60..I had
a Ford Mustang that did better though =D I built it for drag racing
Diablo-D3: for such
a small battery pack it gets more than enough milage out of it
Diablo-D3: it has
a 0 to 60 of like 3.2 seconds
Diablo-D3: then they said "well
a electric sports car could never be fast"
Diablo-D3: "no one would buy
a mass produced electric car"
KRS-: Diablo: I did not know that, seems to tell me that the Tesla is the best of both worlds then. I often see them where I work in Boca Raton, Florida. Its not uncommon to see
a $6-figure car wherever you go.
Diablo-D3: its not like putting down $2.1m for
a veyron
Chaaaang-Noi: that lotus is significantly cheaper than
a lambo
Diablo-D3: Chaaaang-Noi: they're not bad cars, but I'd buy
a tesla roadster instead
Chaaaang-Noi: anyone have anything to say bad about
a lotus exige? the seems reasonabbly priced
inhies: im guessing
a market buy would be an ask getting filled, yea?
inhies: which one would be
a bid getting filled, adn which one an ask?
Chaaaang-Noi: i had
a pint of cider tonight, does that count as apple juice?
jborkl: 2 buckets 2 buckets and
a bench in the back
jborkl: If you are going oon
a trip with kiddos, the bigger one would be better
jborkl: Well, that is
a personal choice. Not really
a wrong one
jborkl: unless you need
a bunch of room
jborkl: Look, if you want to be pimp and comfy -
a Escalade < We have
a whole fleet
Chaaaang-Noi: i will odds are end up with
a catalic or
