trinque: oh christ...
tar has something
TRAMP-like?
mats prepares
to read bsdtar and gnutar
mats: quite literally responsible for millions displaced,
thousands dead.
mats: it is fitting
the fella
that won pulitzer for reporting on my lai, penned
the piece on potus incompetence in syria
mircea_popescu: which
the nigglet in chief is rapidly shaping up
to become.
mircea_popescu: "Obama didn’t know, but Obama doesn’t know what
the JCS does in every circumstance and
that’s
true of all presidents." <<< bwhahahaha.
adlai discovers
that
the right mashing of
time-window-controls in btcalpha graphs lets you get daily candles on
the 1Y
adlai: right, it doesn't quite cut it
to literally repeat
the same words.
the identical message must be replicated with original content.
this is why "bitcoin difficulty rose yet again" is such a
tontrivial beat
mats: army and used against
the common enemy, Jabhat al-Nusra and Islamic State...
The JCS concluded
that if
those needs were met,
the overall fight against Islamist
terrorism would be enhanced. Obama didn’t know, but Obama doesn’t know what
the JCS does in every circumstance and
that’s
true of all presidents.’
mats: >The Joint Chiefs felt
that a direct challenge
to Obama’s policy would have ‘had a zero chance of success’. So in
the autumn of 2013
they decided
to
take steps against
the extremists without going
through political channels, by providing US intelligence
to
the militaries of other nations, on
the understanding
that it would be passed on
to
the Syrian
BingoBoingo: <adlai> how about a monthly wordcount minimum,
to be padded with "Bitcoin exists, relax bro" etc <<
This only works when someone is doing something stupid and a flavor of "Bitcoin exists, relax bro" can be presented. See Paxful.
mats: >Barack Obama’s repeated insistence
that Bashar al-Assad must leave office – and
that
there are ‘moderate’ rebel groups in Syria capable of defeating him – has in recent years provoked quiet dissent, and even overt opposition, among some of
the most senior officers on
the Pentagon’s Joint Staff.
Their criticism has focused on what
they see as
the
mats: O_O post from
the future

BingoBoingo: Except for
the part where I keep digging for news and getting flooded by "year in review" pieces and how Roger Ver's clontra needs
therapy
BingoBoingo: I just hate
the abysmal news SNR ratio
this
time of year.
mod6: send me 1 BTC and i'll listen
to your problems for 1 hour. kthxbye.
BingoBoingo: ^ "However, much of
this “Internet of
Therapy” has either been done for free, or
through cumbersome credit, debit, or payment methods
that lack
the multifaceted functionality and security of blockchain
technology."
BingoBoingo: mod6: But
this flooding isn't really Qntra material unless
the Hussein Bahamas administration decides
to blow up levees again
to flood productive farms in order
to save crack houses in Cairo
adlai: and by "entire blockchain" i mean "from
the moment of broadcasting your malleable
tx"
adlai: trinque: since what matters for notarisation is
that
the hash enters
the blockchain, you just need
to find a/the first
transaction paying
to it, regardless of its source. yes, you need
to scan
the entire blockchain. yes, you can ignore
transactions which aren't "from" 1BkCTj36789blah
BingoBoingo: Some levees are only
there because it is nice not
to flood farm fields, so
those ones get sacrified from
time
to
time.
The Levees protecting
the fucking ghetto never get intentionally blown by USG.
BingoBoingo: But
that flood was snowpack melt, so plenty of warning
BingoBoingo: mod6: Actually
the right levees breaking could make
this less bad in places. A few years ago
they blew up some levees on
the podunk farm Missouri side
to save Cairo, Illinois
BingoBoingo: Seriously
though. Fuck you California. No water for you!
BingoBoingo: Just
this weekend's rain. Ground was saturated because rain off and on all month, plus plants were
too sleepy
to drink
this all.
mod6: wow. and
this is all from
the rain, or did
the levees break somewhere?
BingoBoingo: Noah Adventure Update: "FENTON • Floodwaters from
the Meramec River forced
the shutdown of all lanes of Interstate 44 for a 24-mile stretch early Wednesday.
The closure could last
through Friday."
jurov: end of
transmission from butugychag, my battery runs out.
BingoBoingo: Could be
the very porn sounding "Backdoor Mailman"
jurov: so it's actually a mystery how
turdatron picked up your new key
☟︎ jurov: ;;later
tell asciilifeform i'll look
to
turdatron in few days, don't remember exactly which ver, whatever was in centos when i set it up
BingoBoingo: Yes. Saturday
there was no hint
that floods,
then
the sort of floods
that normally come with weeks of advance warning.
mod6: was
this all part of
the same storm system as with
the
tornadoes in
tx?
BingoBoingo: Some places have it worse
than 1993 bad, other places almost 1993 bad
mod6: BingoBoingo: just saw some pics of
that flooding.

Terribly Definitive
Terrorist Self-Evaluation Scale. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... (

BingoBoingo: mod6: It was colder
through october/Novemeber, but now we have biblical floods and moderate
temperatures until
the cold settles in
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Mayos have
to do body weight exercises
to go
to
the fridge, at last until
they enablers are forced
to
take
that over entirely
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> brown christmas is lame
though, we had a perfectly
timed cold-snap. -20C all last week. bizarrely, JUST what i wanted for
this
time of year. << Spring bulbs are putting up green on
the front garden
mod6: i'd say,
that's probably one of
the best parts of hunting for me; watching
the dogs work.
mod6: the dogs always amaze me.
they just don't stop. even with broken
toe-nails, or iced over paws,
they just keep on going.
mod6: yeah.
totally. and yes,
they do have some pretty big
turkeys here.
mircea_popescu: well
that's
the point of hunting innit ? exercise
the dogs.
mircea_popescu: euro
turkeys are kinda midgety. from what i hear us and canada have some real huge ones.
mod6: gotta walk a lot
though, from what i'm
told.
mod6: yeah. sometime, i wanna
try
turkey hunting.
mod6: south dakota still has a lot from what I hear. i've never hunted
there yet. but i hear
that you'll see like 100 birds get up at a single
time. so many, it's hard
to actually pick a
target.
mircea_popescu: yeah foxes are a problem. can't really have lotta fox and lotta
turkey/pheasant/grouse in
the same place.
mod6: yeah.
there used
to be a lot more wild birds here in minnesota, so say
the old
timers. but
the land development and introduction of a lot more nest-feeding animals like skunks, coyote, wolves and foxes have shrank
the population.
mircea_popescu: easy enough way
to protect
the population, if it has any wildlife habitat. make hunt rooster-only for a while.
mod6: yeah, hens
too. at least here.
mod6: ooh. hah, yeah,
these are probably like 2-4lbs.
mod6: i cook
three of 'em at a
time. we eat 'em quite a bit.
mod6: they're bigger
than grouse. bout
the same size as a chicken, maybe a bit bigger.
mod6: i've got 50+ in
the freezer.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i don't
think i ever ate 8 birds a year anyway. plenty, neh ?
pete_dushenski: i'd usually be in cuba or something at
this
time of year, but i'm quite enjoying being around with
the little fam.
the city's calm and quiet like nothing else.
pete_dushenski: brown christmas is lame
though, we had a perfectly
timed cold-snap. -20C all last week. bizarrely, JUST what i wanted for
this
time of year.
pete_dushenski: lol when i saw 'shot 8 birds' i immediately
thought golf, and was mi-hi-hightily impressed
mod6: i shot 8 birds last weekend. so ended
the season on a high note.
mod6: which sucks for me, because
that pretty much means
the end of pheasant season.
mod6: this year it hasn't been cold enough
to have outdoor ice yet. we just got our first snow yesterday. was like ~5 inches.
mod6: i
think
the rink near where i live is like $300/hr
mod6: yeah, ice
time is expensive. but it does help if you live in an area where you can get free outdoor ice
time.
mod6: haha, i never saw any wild stuff like
that in all of our hockey
travels. except for some
typical locker-room boxing and pranks, etc.
pete_dushenski: mod6: big
time. not many kids who make it
to 'the show' have anything less
that white-collar professional parents
mod6: yeah, in
the US ``men'' play/watch football mostly. i
think for one
thing its readily accessable; it's inexpensive
to play. all you gotta do is buy shoes and show up.
the rest is pretty much provided by
the
team.
pete_dushenski: mod6: hockey in canada is definitely where
the 'men' congregate, sort of how i imagine
the culture around american football is, but for upper-middle-class white kids
mod6: i always liked it. most guys in
the US can't deal
though -- here most kids are
taught
the physical game but more emphisis is put on skating and puck handling.
mod6: most people i met up
there were pretty cool
mod6: You ever make it
to Moose Jaw, SK?
pete_dushenski: alberta's alright if you like pick-up
trucks and retail shopping.
mod6: farthest i ever made it
that direction was "the gap"
