saifedean: they'll whisk her in an ambulance and freak
the shit out of her, causing her vagina
to contract just when it needs
to expand.
this
then necessitates painful pushing, which usually doesn't work, necessitating cutting up and stitching,
the baby comes out bloody and bruised and
the woman can't breastfeed for hours, which will
then destroy
the baby's ability
to latch properly
mircea_popescu: but anyway. natural birth has a huge following in
the states. almost unknown in yurp.
☟︎☟︎ saifedean: all
the complications of birth come precisely from
the medical bezzle
trying
to barge in on
this natural process
to make a buck, basically
saifedean: essentially: if a woman is left on her own in a comfortable setting with
the father, her body will do all
the work and pop
the baby out painlessly and even pleasurably,
the baby comes out healthy and looks for
the
tit
to feed, it stays connected
to
the umbilical chord and placenta for a few days,
the placenta empties all
the nutrients and blood into
the baby, and
the baby grows healthy
saifedean: trying
to give birth in hospital makes as much sense as
trying
to have sex
there
mircea_popescu: and
the internet has ruined people's idea of what makes good storytelling. don't summarize, be specific.
saifedean: it's
treated like an emergency like a car crash, when it's a natural process like sex
saifedean: this has been an enormously edifying experience... most important lesson learned is
that handing over a pregnant woman
to a hospital and obgyn is fucking nuts
saifedean: well, not quite,
there's a surprisingly large amount of stuff
to do, learn, and decide if you choose not
to hand over
the entire process
to
the medical bezzle
saifedean: this place is so deadly boring it's unreal, but at least it's not a
terribly cold winter, and I'm getting plenty of reading done... Also, it's not like you need much excitement
to add
to your life when you're expecting
saifedean: it's not
the most exciting place in
the world, but it's across
the river from detroit, which stands as a constant reminded
that shit could be worse
saifedean: well,
the wife is due
to deliver our first child in
the next month or so, and we decided
to come give birth here where my in-laws are, ensuring
the girl gets
the Canadian passport
mircea_popescu: who
the fuck lives in ontario for
the winter and in damascus for
the civil war.
saifedean: unfortunately i'm not
there for
the next few months, moved
to Windsor, Ontario, of all fucking places,
the exact opposite of Lebanon if ever
there was one
saifedean: people hating each other and religious wars escalating everywhere... but... you know...
the party must go on
saifedean: lebanon is as it always is, mundanely on
the precipice of exploding
ben_vulpes: fix << meaning address
the failed
targets?
trinque: ben_vulpes: I'll probably not
throw another onto
the mailing list before fixing
the boost build
ben_vulpes: ping me when you have new makefiles, i'm going
to remap keys and engage in other weeding-type activities on
this machine
trinque: ben_vulpes │ neat stuff, dood. <<
ty
ben_vulpes: gotcha, okay, starting
to see how
this all fits
together.
trinque: yep, I'm moving buildroot, makes
total sense
trinque: ben_vulpes: and in fact if
the buildroot step were stuck inside Makefile.rotor, it'd be
trivial
to have a Makefile.openbsd aside it
trinque: at least pulling
the deps/shit works with make SHA512=sha512
trinque: understandably so, as I understand
that
thing
to be linux specific
trinque: but yeah I'll add
that
to
the
tar cmd
trinque: ben_vulpes │ i already ripped
the -s flag off
the boost download, 'cuz i'm impatient and curious. <<
ben_vulpes: without,
tar complains
that
the file uses gzip and
that one must provide
the `z' flag.
ben_vulpes: trinque: build/Makefile:16 `tar xvf' -> `tar xvzf` << any reason i shouldn't do
this?
ben_vulpes: i already ripped
the -s flag off
the boost download, 'cuz i'm impatient and curious.
trinque: ben_vulpes:
that's one of
the knobs
ben_vulpes: trinque: is
there a reason verify.mk uses `SHA512' instead of `sha512'?
BingoBoingo: Can't expect retail expert
to be history expert
mircea_popescu: this is rank nonsense. for one
thing,
the cro-magnon did it, not some obscure "african".
mircea_popescu: North Asia
took
the nuclear winter in stride, as
they were cold-adapted. By 70,000-40,000 years ago one particular group of Africans produced some killer genius whose genes are in us all.
The Neanderthals were wiped out soon
thereafter at
the peak of a nasty ice age
that
they were best suited
to deal with.
They were murdered."
mircea_popescu: "If I might compress a quarter-million years into a paragraph: For hundreds of
thousands of years mankind developed along
three paths,
the African,
the Neanderthal and
the Disnovian. 74,000 years ago
the
Toba Super Eruption occurred, causing a six-year nuclear winter, which wiped out all but a couple
thousand lucky Africans. I don’t know anything about
the Disnovians. I do know
that
the Neanderthals across Europe and
BingoBoingo: He hangs out with black people from
time
to
time
mircea_popescu: "Being a race
traitor, yet still
tolerated by my pale fellows, I
thought it was
the least I could do." << how'd he get
that ? fucked a black chick ? or what's racely
treasonable activity ?
mircea_popescu: "1/1/00 -- Despite Patriot expectations
that
the millennial date change will bring martial law or massive social collapse, nothing of
the kind occurs."
mircea_popescu: "10/13/99 -- Members of
the Southern Indiana Regional Militia meet with FBI agents as part of a government effort
to defuse
tensions between Patriots and officialdom."
mircea_popescu: 3/17/98 --
Two former New York City police officers become
the last of 14 NYPD officers
to be convicted in a
tax evasion scheme.
The
two sold
tax evasion kits from Patriot groups
to other officers for up
to $2,000 each.
mircea_popescu: December '97 -- Nearly 100 New York City employees, including some corrections officials, are arrested for using common-law "untaxing" kits
to evade
taxes.
mircea_popescu: o hey, is William Pierce actually
the model for
the old dude in american history x ?

BingoBoingo wondering if a catalytic cap for a lead acid battery valves would have
the same function on FeNi
mircea_popescu: i
thought old people stole all
the batteries
they used.
BingoBoingo: Also all
the money I'm saving
that can be put
towards expenses like HODL,
thermal grease, and batteries
BingoBoingo: It's amazing
this whole doing something about a problem instead of drinking about a problem business
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> you'll end up with a coveted Kakobrekla
Trophy for Dry Wit at
this rate. << Well I'm still learning
this whole "living as a dry person" business
mircea_popescu: you'll end up with a coveted Kakobrekla
Trophy for Dry Wit at
this rate.
BingoBoingo: I
thought you meant horse as in your motor carriage needing a fuel filter
mircea_popescu: yeah,
that's
the dilemma, isn't it : either die of ulcer like naggum or
try and supress
the nausea of being still alive with
these schmucks all around like graham.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform and lo it came
to pass
that one man had sons, which he met because some women he knew introduced
them. and
those sons presently came upon him and said father, give us warhorses so we may be warriros, for you are a warrior yourself! and
the man said better go and capture horses, for i am a warrior and i will soon die, and who'll give you warhorses
then ?
mircea_popescu: "6/18/94 -- Common-law ideologue Brian Knoff is surreptitiously recorded discussing a planned marijuana-smuggling operation
through Cuba
that he hopes will help
to fund other Patriot activists."
BingoBoingo: Serisouly
though,
today's alt-right and militia movement almost exclusively communicates on Facebook.
BingoBoingo: And Rush Limbaugh is selling Identity
theft protection and Cloud backup storage
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo is glenn beck still selling overpriced gold rounds
to suckers ?
mircea_popescu: and was somehow kicked out of michigan / moved
to alaska ?
mircea_popescu: apparently
the guy also came up with
the
theory japan bombed oklahoma because
the us dumped sarin in
tokyo ?
BingoBoingo: Compare
that
to
the current US "alt-right" with its "Oath Keepers", MLM-scammers like Glenn Beck, and media social engineering like
Trump
BingoBoingo: Was delivered
to United States Senate Subcommittee on
Terrorism orally
mircea_popescu: srsly, professional
transcriptomonkey doesn't know what a principal is ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> guy can't spell ;/ <<
transcriptionist couldn't spell.
mircea_popescu: "was
the armed militia of
the American colonies whose own efforts ultimately led
to
the establishment of
the United States of America! While some say
that
the right
to keep and bear arms is granted
to Americans by
the Constitution, just
the opposite is
true :
the existence of
the federal government is granted by
the citizens bearing arms, under limits set forth in
the constitution"
