mircea_popescu: they were fucking tuna cans, what. you'd die in there at
a light breeze exactly like steel helmeted ww1 monkeys.
mircea_popescu: as
a factual matter, driving casualties existed in the 80s among warsaw pact signatories ; and yes "speed unadjusted to driving conditions" was universally blamed.

mircea_popescu: it's fucking true! the dirt roads of behind the iron curtain barely permitted 35. and yes, i miself survived
a crash at twice the speed. so wtf were they thinking ?
mircea_popescu: cetera etcetera, it's
a whole pile there, with solidarnosc raisins in
a light samizdat confit.

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform It's
a single tweet: @hanno 'Saying "our protocol and API is fine, it's just that everyone uses it wrong" is not
a particularly good defense #efail #gpg'
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ^ pretty lulzy prehistory -- usg is burning the vuln in the most traditional way, complete with 'responsible disclosure'ism and
a boeck-style 'researcher' ; nao spinning in every propaganda organ in unison as 'pgp broken!' << Apparently @hanno has
a take on this too that sums to the rest of the party line "who could be using this with hygeine?"
BingoBoingo: Today is shapping up to be
a heavy lulz day in the early going between Italy and Iraqi politics

☟︎ esthlos: question for all: should the gnupg temp files be deleted in all_ cases of
a failed press? perhaps someone might want it for debugging?
mircea_popescu: see, there's
a difference between work and activity. they're not completely inactive, yes, but they do no work. cuz work is when you know what's gonna come out. if you don't know what's gonna come out, it's fucking not work.
mircea_popescu: this is the fucking problem : man who can plow an acre who got
a square mile, can't start on plowing the acre he can plow because waiting for tractor, except can not trust item he receives actually plows anything. -> famine.
mircea_popescu: basically, to answer
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-11#1812588 : they're
a) not doing it because b) if they tried to they'd run out of time before they'd run out of divisions and therefore c) waiting for someone to d) collapse this AND OTHER SUCH things into
a more manageable super-idea except e) quid custodiet, which is necessarily at odds with the requirements of b-c, and therefore the whole thing's paralyzed.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: in the end, the remaining "value proposition" of jewish outlets is, "all put together
a penny or two, and we'll provide
a harem for all of you!"
mircea_popescu: n-theoretical : when there's more ideas than mental capacity for juggling ideas, one's stuck trying to pretend like they're some kind of me, sitting atop
a complex apparatus fine-tuned to provide them with summaries and classification.
a111: Logged on 2014-05-25 21:19 mircea_popescu: Goat owe me 3740.35 BTC. This is
a serious scam and he is playing rich with MY money. 2012 I invested
a lot in his Tygrr-bot. I thought it sounded like
a cool arbitrage bot. It was hard to go profit and
a lesser amount was lost to exchange failure.
mircea_popescu: "In Stand on Zanzibar, John Brunner’s 1972 novel of
a hyperactive, overpopulated world, society is plagued by “muckers,” individuals who suddenly and for no obvious reason run amok, killing and wounding others." << now the uncomfortable question becomes, whether that's the actual problem of 2018 because that's what the people of 1972 thought it will be ?
mircea_popescu: "Individuals born under these circumstances will be so out of touch with reality as to be incapable even of alienation. Their most complex behaviors will become fragmented. Acquisition, creation and utilization of ideas appropriate for life in
a post-industrial cultural-conceptual-technological society will have been blocked."
mircea_popescu: the one thing the germans were clamoring for, interbellum, was "for
a way to give all this useless paper back to the govt".
a111: Logged on 2015-03-06 03:29 mircea_popescu: making money is
a purely ~political~ function. if you are among the favoured elite of the respublica veneta, you then may invest in the ships, and make
a profit. if not, not.

a ~$500k (turkeydollar) plant, to do it the adult way. and i suspect that there are not 500k of turkeydollar between them atm.
mircea_popescu: but once the specific environment changed, once there isn't
a cattle farming interest to join, well... why keep up the pretense.
mircea_popescu: lies breaking off family bonds to come serve them on hands and knees ; and churchgoing uppity "homely" (=ugly) women WANTED
a bunch of retards to think "cowboy life is dangerous, dun take guns to town, stay on farm with the sow"
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-13#1812937 << farming is NOT AMENABLE to any other kind of farming. the pretense to "independent farmers" is how the pantsuit chicks got the less able men off the cattle growing, you understand. the notion of "independent farmer" is
a hallucination exactly like the notion of "successful starlet", sold by the press of
a commercial concern for
a commercial interest. hollywood WANTED

a group Calhoun termed “the beautiful ones,” never sought sex and never fought—they just ate, slept, and groomed, wrapped in narcissistic introspection.'
BingoBoingo: lobbes: Well, what is an almost purely tourist oriented economy? If it isn't
a type of aquarium...
mircea_popescu: for two decades i've been smoking, maybe once or twice
a week, or so.
mircea_popescu:
a very brave man once braved
a horrible leg-cutting bear trap
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, let me simplify this for you : pot smokers are socialist. if their brain worked, pot'd be more of
a concern, but as it is...
mircea_popescu: lobbes, pot has
a number of misfortunate qualities that interdict its large scale usage, which is why coca civilisation existed even, but not pot.
mircea_popescu: but there's
a fucking reason they're "concerned" about "russian spies" rather than chinese spies. "those aren't spies, dummy, those are the peopel dropping food pellets in. they should get
a good show, put out!"
mircea_popescu: in this sense, pot is as much
a performance drug as meth is for trucker.
mircea_popescu: but that said -- seems almost
a certainty that the pothead is preferable to the drunk, from the socialist nigger's perspective.
mircea_popescu: note that there's no veuve cliquot securities, notwithstanding that is
a genuinely and on its own merits $50 bottle.
mircea_popescu: the $200 bottle of whiskey is
a product of the EXACT same process as "i have
a bf, why would i be your slave" patriotism. there is no whiskey extant today, ever existent in history or ever to be devises worth more than $2
a galon. for the very simple and strictly unassailable reason that grain alcohol is one step above wood alcohol, and approximately equal to gasoline.
BingoBoingo: Might be related to the strong non-polarity of stuff they want as

a) the most closely guarded part of pigs which b) are animals that eat the most closely guarded part of corn which c) leaves exist to produce. there's three degrees of biomass reduction at work here, pork bellies are like tuna, not like fucking zooplankton. which is why prime tuna costs $$$ and pressed nori sheets are in the discount bin at the cheap st
a111: Logged on 2018-05-13 05:07 mircea_popescu: and following this logic -- because pot is relatively unimportant therefore it'll never be securitized. sure, it'll exist, like saltpeter exists, but nobody will give enough of
a shit to learn by heart arbitrary names for geological deposits like "brent" or "texas sweet crude".
mod6: ahh. part of the whole thing is, even after all this time, im still pretty non-clued on the whole portage usage. i guess, one-adventure-at-
a-time, im learning more.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, in the general : much like to say that there was
a limit where the flaunting of their foul acts and opinions before the world must stop" is exactly like saying "the emperor got his crown from the pope -- not the other way around" ie, "pantsuit is the sovereign", just EXACTLY so saying "be liberal in what you accept" is exactly saying "you're not worth two shits".

☟︎ mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, i can't follow your logic. how do you explain eg cowrie shells not being
a "securitizable asset" by this same logic ?
ben_vulpes: it'll take
a decade but there will be
a securitizable asset here, just like pork bellies. only nobody stateside even wants to contemplate the notion because it runs so contrary to their self delusions and delusions of special "girl scout cookie" product burn away

☟︎ mod6: I thought the second way would work, and in fact `gcc-config -l` does report : x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.8.4 ; however, it seems like none of the ebuilds would work with
a stage3 that old.
mod6: The second way, I just tried was with
a stage3 from 2015: stage3-amd64-nomultilib-20150716.tar.bz2
mod6: Well, I've gotten stuck 2 different times. The first way was with
a stage3 from yesterday, which, the install worked, but left me with GCC-6.4.0.
ben_vulpes: granted the 5 is built with
a ken thompson'd 6, and the 4 built with
a thompson'd 5.
mod6: if so, will keep track of the steps for
a possible new doc.
mod6: Once opon
a time, the docs we put together for trb users to build
a gentoo worked. Much better, and much more clear than the gentoo garbage docs.
trinque: if you were to build
a gentoo using their standard instructions, nothing in that would block you from replacing with
a cuntoo userland later.
trinque: I'd rather get
a v-tree of our own portage going than continue to flail at the empire's ceaseless breakage.
mod6: Whatever docs TMSR~ has to install
a gentoo are out of date. New ones are required.
mod6: I'm having
a reaaaaaly hard time installing gentoo with
a gcc4 now.
mircea_popescu: but the good news is that lobbesbot permits you to do
