mircea_popescu: come to think of it, this is a passible definition of happiness : the best steak i've had was this year.
mircea_popescu: i wouldn't say it's the best i had, but certainly not ashamed of sharing it
mircea_popescu: davout btw, los_pantalones actually had a decent local steak here
mircea_popescu: los_pantalones a yes, the guy has a point as to "proper" aging. you can't do sngle steaks
mircea_popescu: no, we're intelligent housewives, not dumb american housewives.
mircea_popescu: i suppose next topic is whether our husbands beat us recently, and how hard was it.
mircea_popescu: davout you can make a ham-y thing this way, if you add curing stuff inside, but just by itself it turns to...
mircea_popescu: aging beef in dough is exactly thesame, sans liver (and mushrooms) and with much thicker dough : sear the steak, put it in a dough envelope, cook this and let it sit.
mircea_popescu: it's not too hard : boil liver, grind it into a paste with butter and spices ; sear a steak, cover it in sauteed mushrooms and the liver paste ; make a dough, put the whole thing in it, seal and oven.
mircea_popescu: what, this is sadism ? my dear boy! you ain't seen nothing yet
mircea_popescu: romanian restaurant dishes consist basically of what women make at home. much like in say normandy
mircea_popescu: they must not eat at home like in the restaurant or something.
mircea_popescu: and yet, which is the mystery, they're not overweight these people.
mircea_popescu: if you have problems swallowing it all they'll more than happily get you some (excellent btw) malbec
mircea_popescu: in general you have to do a lot of customisation to make restaurant food fit for human consumption. in their view, serving a two pound steak with three ounces of sweet potato fried in oil, and then a pound of chocolate with dulce de leche mixed in is perfectly adequate asd a meal
mircea_popescu: anyway, argentina is meat eater's paradise, that's for sure.
mircea_popescu: well it's possible you had it imported, in which case the shock won't quite rise to the level of epiphany
mircea_popescu: the beef steak here is so tender chicken seems game by comparison.
mircea_popescu: it literally is like europeans only eat 7yos, and there's a world of 23 yo bananas out there unbeknownst to them
mircea_popescu: much like you know, you think you know what a banana tastes like, but you're WRONG. you'll discover the full body of flavour of that fruit once you live in the tropics
mircea_popescu: much like i pity the fool trying to eat romanian beef.
mircea_popescu: never the twain should fucking meet, these people haveno idea of dairy at all
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's weird how this works. i'm from transylvania, where cattle is queen. dairy cattle.
mircea_popescu: i'd have killed young argentinian girls and sprayed their virginal blood all over it to win the argument
mircea_popescu: the wood box they fucking made. the camembert inside... who the fuck needs it.
mircea_popescu: you tell me that you were here, and saw a local knockoff of a tin of camembert and you wouldn't have paid the $2.80 to see wtf is in there.
mircea_popescu: constantly trying out new things and getting curious and whatnot
mircea_popescu: it's almost like i'm the only one that finds it hysterically funny or something
mircea_popescu: also, i am shocked, shocked and appalled i say, that nobody;s said a word of la gayola
mircea_popescu: fluffypony hey, when were you talking about the summarizing thing ? was it the 12th ?
mircea_popescu: you made the vial dood, what do you want from me. when the time to open it comes i'll feed it to a cat and let you know.
mircea_popescu: pankkake well strictly speaking davout's the king here lol.
mircea_popescu: you can definitely ask the king to tell you wtf it intends to do. because the king is a sovereign, and thus an agent, and thus can have intent.
mircea_popescu: davout anyway, this is a solidly established principle of law, that a court won't review possibilities and implications,
mircea_popescu: can't follow around constantly reviewing and clarifying the wording every time reality twists some way or the other.
mircea_popescu: bitbet reviews bets exactly twice : when they're entered, and when they're resolved.
mircea_popescu: because you gotta limit your touching the things. all business runs on the principle of limiting responsibility.
mircea_popescu: that's unfortunate. but you're not like the bitbet mod, in that... well, in that you aren't.
mircea_popescu: in any event, bitbet comes last in the sort. you don't change your actions by what bitbet says it's gonna do. you do what you do, then when the time comes bitbet looks at it and calls it something.
mircea_popescu: davout because it's not dude. what the fuck do i know what you'll be doing next. if you were going to change the thing';s name why da fuck did you bet on it as it is etc.
mircea_popescu: that awkward moment when you write to a estudio de abogados named X, Y, Z and K and the next morning a reply awaits from Gonzalez X.
mircea_popescu: davout well if you were to propose that bet now it'd get rejected im pretty sure.
mircea_popescu: desired it may be. it being desired does not by itself make it possible.
mircea_popescu: but srsly, the bet is not up for resolution. there's no effort to be put in.
mircea_popescu: "refusing to make me tortoise soup, when asked well in advance, doesn't constitute good mothership"
mircea_popescu: pankkake because they have a theory as to what it means.
mircea_popescu: but if i manage to hire some transcendents i might change it.
