phf: lafond's long been part of collective
tmsr unconscious
thanks
to BingoBoingo
mircea_popescu: god damned it. so half hour's research has produced not
the article i was looking for, and
the knowledge
that decimation actually introduced lafond
to
the chan.
phf: going
to harm city
tonight, after lafond articles fully expect packs of roaming black urban youths
terrorizing solitary whites all over
the place
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo hey do you recall
the lafond article where he describes some woman
taking a cab
to escape urban race war and some dudes
trying
to flag it down
to rape her ?
PeterL: ben_vulpes> 1% interest on checking or savings accounts oh my sides << at my local credit union you can get 2% interest with a 5 year certificate, does not keep up with inflation but its better
than no interest
PeterL: danielpbarron I guess it depends on how you do it, I never did beer, but I made mead, and it was much cheaper
than buying an equivalent volume, about an hour of work and a few weeks of waiting
PeterL: pete_dushenski have you ever read
the book "the
total money makeover" by Dave Ramsey? I recommend
the book, makes mostly similar points
to your post
danielpbarron: pretty sure it costs more
to make beer
than
to buy it; my brother does
that and it's a whole lot of work for not a lot of beer
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski mixing
things like "make a budget" and "pack a lunch / brew your own coffee" seems improper.
ben_vulpes: (and where is
the "lease don't buy your car!1"
tip?)
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski:
this interest rate claim: are you implying
that house prices go up when interest rates go down, ergo
the house won't appreciate if you buy when rates are low and so don't?
ben_vulpes: i grow convinced
that wherever pete_dushenski hails from is even weirder
than asciilifeform's big gulag
mike_c: <+phf>
this is
totally own dogfood, so bon appetite, but since
the log is missing entirely,
this will at least get people
through until
there's something more permanent
mike_c: lol. well I'll be sure
to finish reading it before I reload
the page :)
phf: in other words i'll be surprised if it's still running when i wake up
tomorrow
phf: also it doesn't re-parse
txt files from file system on each page hit...
mike_c: ah.
that is definitely useful
phf: back=1 would be
today and yesterday est, etc.
mike_c: yeah. it's interesting. ctrl-f works
too
though
phf: the nick
thingy does highlight by your nick, which is handy if you're
trying
to find mentions or conversations
that you had
mike_c: most importantly,
the content is
there.
phf: this is
totally own dogfood, so bon appetite, but since
the log is missing entirely,
this will at least get people
through until
there's something more permanent
phf: i should have it working over
the weekend
mike_c: ah, cool.
the more logs
the merrier.
mike_c: hey phf - I heard you might be working on a log for
this chan. is
that
true?
mircea_popescu: " At
the October Meeting, Board members voted
to award a gift membership
to Gavin Andresen for his exceptional service working with our Bulletin Editor, Rebecca Fricke, on
the League’s recently redesigned website, www.lwvamherst.org ." << i guess he gets 20 bucks in gift certs or somesuch.
BingoBoingo: Around here even
the
tiniest
towns do 1-3 kilodollars per anum
BingoBoingo: I haven't checked
this. mircea_popescu do you know off hand if
the Amherst city council position he holds has a stipend?
mircea_popescu: o i c. your arse is also solvent, which is more
than can be said for him.
mircea_popescu: i bet you've not as much as looked at
the schmuck's cv or anything ? just sat on ass and journalised ?
mircea_popescu: looky,
there's nothing wrong with your hollywood inclination. it's, from what i hear, inescapable in first generation americans. nevertheless, it is not factual.
mircea_popescu: where "cow" "farm" and "india" mean
things i didn't even dream, but constructed
tendentiously and ex post facto.
mircea_popescu: according
to
the data available, cow has best life. mkay!
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's what
the MIT/General Motors working set does.
They've bought in on
the mythos.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Gavin gets
to lease a car, because he's got
that Union job at
the mill. PAID LUNCH!
mircea_popescu: he certainly knows of
this
thing you can't even conceive.
mircea_popescu: well cuz
they make minwage+1 / 2 and own
two button down shirts.
mircea_popescu: gotta park on
the street, by
the meter. no space in parking lot. and no garage.
mircea_popescu: how easy
this guy has it you know, he declares everything under him = 0,
then never has
to be confronted with a "hey, change places".
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I dunno how
to save it. You way be
too coastal and insufficiently rust belt.
mircea_popescu: heck, it's a
toss-up whether
they even get
to park in
the parking lot.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
these people aren't worth covered parking.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
Two very different kinds of wagery
there
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Gavin is General Motors goon whereas you are more...
Toyota
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not in
the same way as Gavin.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform exactly as described : had it delivered up
the block around corner.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> or have it delivered up
the street << i have a friend who many years ago showed up in antique steamroller.
mircea_popescu: the notion
that anyone'd buy ireland bonds... srsly ? shit country ever since 1016 ad.
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski used
to, at any rate. ain't no 1990s anymore.
ben_vulpes: oh well in
that case just budget 2 hours
to drive it
ben_vulpes: farm equipment is entirely allowed on
the highway here, mostly because...we have farms.
