BingoBoingo discovered
there is one registered chlorine producer in Uruguay. Sells
to
the water utility at 2000 USD/ton. Exports
to Brazil 66 USD/ton.
mp_en_viaje is full up on "so and so
tax was forever banned with
terrible curse. in 1806. in 1814, ruler paid patriarch in constantinople
to raise curse, reinstated
tax"
mp_en_viaje: i don't
think a romanian anything ever delivered what was advertised. like, ever.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, well,
this is actually measured.
the item is called "1000" bla bla. what can i
tell you.

to
the door) sets one back ~10 bux/mo in romania.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-10 10:44 mp_en_viaje: in other news, i bought a buncha fx amds, 9590s, 9370s, 8370/8350 ; plus
their respective a3+ boards, gigabyte, assus, w/e.
diana_coman: come
to
think of it,
this "stock up while
they still exist" has such a eulora-flavour
to it..
mp_en_viaje: the only caveat is, cpus come in 140 and 210 watt
types, gotta get
the adequate boards for each accordingly.

☟︎ mp_en_viaje: eminently
these still exist ; and i daresay might be a good idea for all lords
to stock up on some.

☟︎☟︎☟︎ mp_en_viaje: (i suppose ~nobody is aware, but
the classical antisemitic discourse is just reheated soup, originally it was
the jesuits
that were poisoning
the youth
through miseducation, aiming
to
take over
the world, controlled mass media and banks etc etc etc)
mp_en_viaje: you should hear what jesuitical philipicals come out of
them! how well it would be if
they were just proclaimed
the aristocracy already! how meritous
they are! how special! how specially in communion with whatever possible statement of divinity, and how specially marked by it! how well
they'd ordain all matters! equitably! how
the politicians and
the businessmen ruin
the world! and so on and so forth.
mp_en_viaje: anyway, also amusingly enough
the principal anti-democratic current comes from
the so-called "technocrats", ie
the bureaucratic core of
the european union.
mp_en_viaje: considering
their discernment,
they could just as well be persuaded it has something
to do with
toyota hamburgers.
mp_en_viaje: there's also a bunch of (usually older) people who are fundamentally anti-democratic, who wrongly imagine
this means
they're "monarchists", and
then further wrongly imagine
this has anything
to do with either of
the
two foregoing items.
mp_en_viaje: there's various comedians peddling various poorly written fictions, but
their relation
to anything is about
the same,
they exist on github, peripherally
to computing, or on "natural health" forums peropheral
to medicine, etcetera.
mp_en_viaje: anyway, anyway, i suppose in principle karl friedrich [of
the swabian hohenzollerns] would be
the current claimant
to
the romanian
throne. but
this is a fact nobody in romania is aware of.
mp_en_viaje: anyway,
the irony -- sick of istanbul greeks, romanians decided
to mail order from germany. but because
too smart for
their own good, and possessed of a completely unwarranted pride, came up with idea
to make rule
that king sons
to be raised as romanians.
BingoBoingo: Unsure, didn't see in
the story WTF
the holiday was for.
hanbot: cheers and accolades
to BingoBoingo for helping me solve my neglected blog's hiccups on a moment's notice, btw. i don't miss pre-pizarro in any sense.
mp_en_viaje: such as nobody remembers what work is nor anything useful left
to be done ?
hanbot: 2 lb
to
the kg, so in 140
tons
then 300k or so pounds
mp_en_viaje: something's definitely amiss here (and no,
the whole phanariote period did not see in excess of 100
tons of silver, holy hell.)
mp_en_viaje: well... apparently one of
the
two romanian principalities was bearing
twenty
times
that much ?!
mp_en_viaje: the support of burthens which no other people could have borne for a
tenth part of
the
time."
mp_en_viaje: literally, "And let it be recollected with
triumphant pride by every
true Briton,
that
this has
taken place in
the concluding years of a war of unexampled duration and unequalled expence ; when
twenty-two years of continued hostilities had swelled
the expenditure of
the country
to
the enormous amount of 14,000,000 sterling per annum ; and when
the salvation of Europe had been effected by
the unremitting fortitude and perseverance of
this nation in
mp_en_viaje: meanwhile re
the british imperial budget of 1816 was in
that year reported
to
the earl of liverpool as "the immense sum of 14mn sterlin gper annum"
mp_en_viaje: now,
the
thaler is a german silver coin, 22.2 grams of 3/4 silver. meaning
the romanian principality expended
that year > 140
tons of silver, something like 280 MILLION pounds sterling.
mp_en_viaje: in other insane wtf : i'm going
through
the paperwork of caradgea voivod (1818s, "tara romaneasca"). supposedly
the public expenditure
that year was 8`473`137
thalers (of which, post maintenance, over one sixth).
mp_en_viaje: pretty lulzy,
they can't cut power
to bum dwellings even
BingoBoingo: six shooter, brisket, unseemly
thick
toast, and a welcome
to
the neighborhood
billymg: still
taking care of
the
tedious chores and whatnot of relocating, but operating with a much elevated mood
BingoBoingo: Kinda
thought
that would've been in
the welcome basket
billymg is happy
to report he's made it safely
to
tx
mp_en_viaje: lotta retrospectively-theoretically-available
techs in
this vein, really.
a111: Logged on 2019-04-15 22:21 asciilifeform: interestingly,
the connection b/w great ships and serious wood , is not entirely gone in modern
time -- sov
type 636 submarine has shaft bearing from lignum vitae
mp_en_viaje: so
that
the spinning pushes
the water out, like archimede's screw
mp_en_viaje: see, here's wjhat i don't understand : why oar ? should have had closely fitted rod powering a propeller of some sort, and have a reverse spiral carved at
the fitting juncture
mp_en_viaje: ~everything besides rubber sucks for
that i guess.
mp_en_viaje: now,
that we discovered
them on metal, can retrofit. but at
the
time... did
they ?
mp_en_viaje: amusingly enough, one ~could~ actually build air pumps and air pressure
tanks out of wooden
tech. so in principle pre-industrialization world could have had useful sub.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-09 00:44 mp_en_viaje:
the question of "can computers
think" becomes "how far can
this actually go", just how useful a computer can
there be built.
mp_en_viaje: certainly accounts for
the jewish princess pheronomenon.
mp_en_viaje: best of both worlds, perpetually surrounded by adolescent cunt, never expected
to give it what for, nobody else likely
to
trespass and do it for you...
mp_en_viaje: i have come
to suspect
the ideal arrangement for
the average male is having a house with a pool in a sunny climate and a ~17 yo daughter who has a lot of sleepovers.
mp_en_viaje: well, watching girls in bikinis. honestly i
think most men would much prefer hanging out with a bunch of scantily clad girls
they're not fucking
than actually have lots of sex.
spyked: (in
the 70s-80s I mean; neptun's a ghost
town nowadays)
spyked: on
the other hand, why go
to neptun and not, say, nice, other
than "romania, nice country, beautiful girls"
mp_en_viaje: nobody was fucking anyone ; and if it wasn't for
the us
that invented fucking via porn in
the 90s, nobody would be fucking anyone
today, either.
mp_en_viaje: but not in mediteranean ;
they have nice mediteranean beaches.
spyked: re fucking eastern girls, I wouldn't know myself, but my sources (people who worked in
the hotel industry at
the
time) say
that plenty of it happened. but more in
the 90s, sure.
mp_en_viaje: turkey is afaik
the ~only contender
to cr substitute beaches
this side of
the world.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-07 21:09 mp_en_viaje: spyked, chock-full.
though it's unclear
to me how you reason re "having beaches", and in any case
the fucking of eastern girls was more
the 90s
than
the 70s.
