thinking lately, about what I want in life, and about how I'm way
too content with my current living situation in
the reich.
The problem is
that man can indeed be content ~anywhere. Nevertheless, I find myself being sucked closer and closer
to
the intake of
the mass chumpatron. My
time, my money, my sanity, slowly but surely slipping away with each day
BingoBoingo: I've not dealth with
the stuff much here. Habitation module has electric stove built in.
mp_en_viaje: luzliest
thing in latam, all sorta mini-super
BingoBoingo: Here
they use
the
tanks inside.
The pipe cas network is
tiny with little coverage.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i got gas stove here. what's wrong with
that ?
BingoBoingo inclined
to see if bicycle guy can handle
this month's Datacenter payment in light of
the growing divide between Republican exchange rate and heathen exchange rate
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i can't speak for erry
type of orc, but in BingoBoingostan
they aint even certain re what
to do with ~mains current~, much less computer (
these are
the people who set up indoor gas grills
to cook dinner ) << Well in
their language
they call
the mains "luz" so it does
the lights.
mp_en_viaje: the idea is of course
to foster communities, rather
than
try and find communities
t o exploit.
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> how's pizarro doing
these days btw << Waiting for alf hands. In
the interim about
to send invoices.

the grounds,
tbh) << I suspect similar
lobbes:
http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-27#1905113 << speaking of hands, pizarro, and hopping
the fence: so what'd be
the plan here? Get a republican hardware shop up and running in uruguay? Or perhaps have a second pair of hands on ground
to help with pizarro affairs?
☝︎ mp_en_viaje: if it did, all
the reaction lesbians and
transgenders'd be happy
a111: Logged on 2017-05-24 21:57 asciilifeform: i'd be barfing harder if i hadn't 'seen
this exact movie before', with ye olde robot
mp_en_viaje: yes. but
the polar opposite strategy of something
that hurt ain'
ttherefore gonna work
lobbes: went for broke in
the reich, no?

then going
to
the restaurant, which
the android agrees
to do ; but at every single juncture where an actual going
to a restaurant could occur,
the urgent disadvantage of immediate expenditure overwhelms
the general principles flowing from c --
through an a-mediated process
that slowly improves
the quality of "arguments" brought over
time under
the selection pressure provided by a + whatever ourside source available.
diana_coman: they are new ruins! our ruins are newer and shinier
than
theirs!

☟︎ mp_en_viaje: closest
to a functional fambly you ever saw, he has some helpers, she has some helpettes, it's like...
mp_en_viaje: if you're serious rather
than just floating by, every fucking
task or
thing escalates 4ever
mp_en_viaje: anyway,
to me it was very amusing because, on one hand, "hey nicoleci , where in chicago do i hire lawyer like
this" and on
the other hand, HOLY SHIT, it's not just computer programmer who goes
to
turn down volume and is
there for
two days rewriting
the os.
mp_en_viaje: dood woke at 6am
to get my my papers. on a sunday.
mp_en_viaje: thus by
the
time he was knocking at my door ~2pm, he had been working for 8 hours
mp_en_viaje: so he went
to market, bought materials, rebuilt his storage
there.
mp_en_viaje: had
to call his clerk
to come from his office,
to extract him.
mp_en_viaje: the place he had
them stored in, he got just about
the
time i was leaving. so my box was in
the bottom of
the pit. "i must've been
thinner
then", he says, cuz well... couldn't get into
there. eventuslly managed
to squeeze in, sideways, but
then, once got box... couldn't get back out.
mp_en_viaje: in other lulz : my ro lawyer came
to me ~this sunday~,
to return archived papers.
mp_en_viaje: it's pretty smart, in
that it keeps
the marginal value within republican walls.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-13 12:02 phf: i ought
to just pick up
that sony you've mentioned
a111: Logged on 2019-05-13 11:48 phf: buses full of waving soldiers, some heavy machinery here and
there, crazed MVD people driving at high speed
through
the city for seemingly no other reason
than
to go fast, people with flags and portraits
mp_en_viaje: also depends a lot what you do. if you car everywhere, even a
tripod in
the back may work. if you hands-in-pockets and walk, might even be
too bulky.
mp_en_viaje: anyway, what's
the proble mwith selling it, put it on ebay for a buck, ship
to whoever ends up winning bidding war, done.
mp_en_viaje: was considering it at some point. but
the idea is for it
to serve me, not
the other way around.
phf: i ought
to just pick up
that sony you've mentioned
☟︎ phf: i have a dslr
that i got off somebody as debt repayment, which ended up putting me into a silly lock: it's heavy and not something you just grab with you, on
the other hand i don't want
to buy a smaller camera "since i already have dslr and i should sell it first", but
then i also don't want
to deal with selling it
phf: i didn't bother
taking camera with me, because i didn't expect
there
to be any activity besides
the parade, but
the city was in full celebration mode
phf: it was probably
the most engaged of all
the celebrations i've seen here. we went
to a hookah place, a kind of popular bar/restaurant:
the staff were dressed in "military" outfits,
there was a bunch of
tables full of men eating and drinking vodka, making
toasts
to
the fallen heroes and dead relatives
phf: buses full of waving soldiers, some heavy machinery here and
there, crazed MVD people driving at high speed

☟︎ a111: Logged on 2019-05-10 00:41 asciilifeform: i wonder if phf got
to see parade.
mp_en_viaje: engagedment
to
teach
the local baron's singing <-> engagement
to
teach
the local baron's donkey singing. check out
the impacted d[onkey].
mp_en_viaje: this "sceptical" is very much
the same story as afanti's [aka nasreddin] engagedment
to
teach
the local baron's singing in a year, on
the
theory
that "i am hungry now -- who knows what will be in a year". he's skeptical as
to
the future. you're not, you have a
theory as
to
the future,
the difficulties are in
the implementation.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 17:56 mircea_popescu: anyway, no
theorems isn't it.
there's
that famous case of my driver whom my mother (who was bumming a ride) asked in shock why'd he'd go around playing valet for a 17yo. he said something like "not everyone's a big deal". man had 0
theorems
to prove, but also didn't go around deluding himself on
the matter.
