mp_en_viaje: sad,
too, i'd have actually carried it as accessory.
mp_en_viaje: nfi, it runs java or some shit. basically loses about 10% of
the voice load, can barely understand what user is saying
BingoBoingo: SMS not free here either, funnels derps into Whatsapp as
the universally agreed upon replacement.
mp_en_viaje: btw, saw a very cool
thing, basically a modern remake of ye olde razor. fliphone, all elegant and shit. bought it, only
to discover...
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, well, i don't use
the derpy smartphones
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: ugh, from direct experience I can
tell you some find it very easy
to spend 50hours/month calling - I knew girls who were literally ALL
the
time on
the phone
mp_en_viaje: and i started WAY
the fuck before ~everyone else.
mp_en_viaje: how
the fuck can you spend 50 hrs/month calling is anyone's guess, i'm not sure i spent
that long on
the phone since i was born
mp_en_viaje: i suspect, specifically because
these
tards are so awkward, calling someone is "too much pressure".
mp_en_viaje: point in case : 5 euro buys you phone line with all sorts of free, EXCEPT sms.
those are 1 cent ea. get me ? voice calls,
those are free (in most circumstances, and 3k monthly minutes for
the one combination of exceptional
things where
they actuallt charge something). but not sms-en.
mp_en_viaje: there's ~fewer~ people here derping on
their phones non stop, us-style "either actively eating or pissing, else clucking at shiny screen". nevertheless, millenial awkwardness is quite omnipresent.
mp_en_viaje: meanwhile i'm sitting in
this cafe,
the
table next, 4 chicks, one overweight, cucky dood.
the
table further away,
three chicks, one overweight, cuky dood.
the bar,
three doods, salivatinursing beers.
mp_en_viaje: PeterL, michigan used
to be like
the pollution capital of
the us, at some point. deindustrialization has its advantages huh.
mp_en_viaje: really put
the acceptance of "this statistics
thing, is genuine science"
to
the
test.
then we
took
to retrospective fambly history, even more horrified. "omg it's
true"
PeterL: <+asciilifeform> 0 in usa meet spec, unless i suppose you go
to
the mountains << I dunno about
that,
there are plenty of clean air parks around where I live
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i remember doing
the math sometime, much
to us-born chicks' shock and awe, came out
that ANY US CITIZEN has ~50% chances
to be hobo during lifetime.
mp_en_viaje: german cops very useful btw,
they know where shit is!
mp_en_viaje: so if she leans over
to kiss you she'll get stabbed in
the
tit ?
PeterL: none of
the parks here have anti-hobo spikes
mp_en_viaje: what is
the point of a spiked bench ? ritual object ?
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform,
there's a lot of female-fat
tolerance in
tico culture
too.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, well,
the 1.40 up
to MAYBE 2 or so, is quite recent. germany is shockingly cheap for cabs, especially if one considers
the exceptional quality.
mp_en_viaje: there's a large contingent of indiana/ohio/whatever ~0 sexual market value wilting cows coming
to costa rica
to score husband.
PeterL: I have a co-worker, every year she goes
to Vegas for a week (with her mother), buys some purses and eats junk food. I don't understand it.
mp_en_viaje: meanwhile new york, say la guardia
to empire state, bout 10km or so, 40 bucks easy.
mp_en_viaje: euro i mean. but whatever, it's not
THAT bad.
mp_en_viaje: and
then it's like... 1mark40 per km. gimme a break, really ?
mp_en_viaje: even fucking germany is cheap as dirt. for one
thing,
they show up within 3-4 minutes in
these utter boats of a mercedes or w/e, you've never seen cars like
that outside an imaginary 50s us.
PeterL: we did disney (everybody kept
telling us
the kids would live it!) I regret it, was not worth
the price
mp_en_viaje: people
tend
to overfavour
the shit
they heard about, and
to
their own detriment.
mp_en_viaje: just saying, you know, what do people do for vacation. used
to be "go
to vegas", okay, i get it, high roller, picking up
the casino cocksuckers cold and shit. fine, fine. most people now
there, wasting
their life a coin at a
time on
the dingdingmachines would be so much happier somewhere ~they never heard of~.
mp_en_viaje: pay money
to wait in line, i could never understand
those people.
mp_en_viaje: better
than blowing
the ~same load over at disneywor;d or w/e, esp if it's
the 5th
trip or some shit.
mp_en_viaje: gotta go
to yurp sometime. everything's cheap
these days, a grand or so for airfare ain't
the end of
the world. stay a week or
two,
try
the cheeses, have definite, personal experience for rest of life. it's no
tthe worst way
to spend a vacation,
mp_en_viaje: bankers also not web experts, hopefully
they put
their own data in
the "banking app", as opposed
to "tell web designer
to make some accounts
there
too"
mp_en_viaje: PeterL, but WHY ? "could be different people,
the one who cuts, and
the one who sutures". yes, could. hanbot's surgeon came
to inspect room and bathroom next day.
PeterL: could be different people,
the one who buys and
the one who makes website
mp_en_viaje: you'd want
to break into my wine cellar and steal some bottles ~because i bought
them~. specifically because, my cellar doesnt contain
the contents of a crashed delivery van.
mp_en_viaje: problem with
that approach is
that
the somebody ~didn't specifically buy~.
PeterL: my guess is somebody looked at
the case of cheeses and just wrote down whatever
the biggest word
they saw on
the labels
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i don'
t begrudge supermaerket brands
their discretion. but if you're
trying for
the upscale colonials, you'd gotta be an idiot
to put up
this visibly intern-made list. only impression it produces is "the author has no fucking idea what he's
talking about".
mp_en_viaje: and so scrolling
to france : Henri Hutin 60% Brie is correctly indicated,
though i'd never buy it, wtf hutin. meanwhile "Raclette" gimme a break. why not "cheese", be done with it.
PeterL: it's like
the
tex-mex style restraunt
that says $item comes made with a "white queso blanco cheese"
PeterL: right, some descriptions could improve
the list
mp_en_viaje: PeterL, ah i see, after
the fold. sure, "Parmigiano Reggiano", why not, if it's what it says it's what it says.
though "pecorino reserva" for instance, says nothing
to me.
mp_en_viaje: anyways, it's a
thing, people can rationalize it
to
themselves as "well, he likes anchovies, so
this is like
that"
PeterL: the majority of list
there is imported from Europe
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i
tend
to buy
the lithuanian variant.
mp_en_viaje: PeterL, not
to be an ass, but direct experience over years has by now convinced me it simply can't be
the case new world makes cheese.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, i don't expect you'd find it most places, really. do
they sell it in maryland ?
mp_en_viaje: to get back
to numbers, if your per-capita budget is in
the 2-3k,
the marginal addition needn't even be specifically financed. but it's sub 500 in any case. she can't fucking live on 500 a month anywhere else.
mp_en_viaje: "they had sprots, so i bought
three dozen cans" incidentals way, way
the fuck overwhelm any "well, i now have
to buy flower ever slightly more often, nooblet also eats bread".
mp_en_viaje: but anyway, if your per-capita budget is 2-3k, which is luxuriously generous in my experience, half a dozen actives means you can afford
to rent whatever
the fuck, and adding a 7th will positively not show in
the grocery weeklies.
mp_en_viaje: including Z shaped porn couch, quite satisfyingly hosts 3+ on
their back.
mp_en_viaje: PeterL, which is deeply fucking ridiculous, for one
thing he's away from cheeseland anyway, and for
the other cheeses
transport. except
the fresh stuff, of course-- i bought some urda you couldn't believe.
mp_en_viaje: sent a half dozen
to neighbour,
too (specifically because by now i know how
to work
the
tolerances into
the experimental data). poor woman nearly inhaled
them. "omg so good". yes, duh, have some elbow-made mayo sometime, half
the calories,
twice
the epicurean gainz.
mp_en_viaje had deviled eggs made yest. 16 eggs = 32 halves + 7 for mayo. in other words, whole fucking carton, plus lb of deli meat etc. all went within
the day, but i care not -- next
time, 45!
PeterL: we could rehash
the convo where I say "you could move over here and get
twice
the floor for half
the cost" and
then you say "but muh fancy cheezes!"
mp_en_viaje: consdier
that it is A LOT cheaper for you
to host marginal added girl
than for her
to "live independently".
mp_en_viaje: can't limit self by walls -- it's not a prison, it's a house, meaning walls are cut according
to your size, and not your size according
to walls.
mp_en_viaje: hey, i constantly end up with
this problem, and my answer is always
the same : get satellite dwelling,
then get larger main,
then end up getting satellite again, and so on.
mp_en_viaje: it's always best
to fail at
taking over
the world,
than
to succeed at
taking over wales.
