mircea_popescu: iirc it was more a case of "hey, i'm here to promote ; oh you're not really an audience ? ok, ima go promote
down the street"
mircea_popescu: country's basically the equivalent of shannen doherty. was hot briefly in its youth, by now it's a great way to pour money
down the drain.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform exactly why i don't argue for "make america great again" but "burn it all
down"
Joshua-I: You can just as easily bust
down a door
pete_dushenski: after 2012, it's just write
down the highest number our impoverished bureaucrats can count to and go with that.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform anyway, the summa of the thing being that they (stupidly) decided to give the feds ten mile square ; the northerners wanted it in a big city, the slave interest
down south. eventuyally hamilton managed to trade the south undertaking a share of the northern foreign debt in exchange for putting the capital
down by virgina.
mircea_popescu: you know, that'd be pretty lulzy if that's how it went
down.
mircea_popescu: fact is... you're now fucked. it's not trivial to explain to restaurant manager why abstract 4 dimensional figures can not be built
down the street.
mod6: asciilifeform: calm
down.
pete_dushenski: damndest thing : i was actually whistling the star spangled banner to myself while making my 3-egger breakfast omelette, quite out of the blue, and only several hours later recalled that it was colonial 'victory' day
down south
mircea_popescu: it's "going
down" in the hopes of capturing the occasional dizzy derp. not going too well.
shinohai: Sounds good to me, is that tar.gz mentioned in link still available? I will pull it
down when I get back from town this afternoon.
mircea_popescu: shut up gentoo boy! unlike that pos, this actually works for a decade once settled
down. and the settling
down is a few hours not a few weeks.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform hey, depends. sometime "tear the whole shit
down" is cheaper than fix. besides, if i'm going to pour concrete in my kitchen, i'd much rather pour the whole floor plane.
mircea_popescu: yes, and it makes me want to put the drink
down and leave.
BingoBoingo: does that drain convey water
down? if yes the expensive part of your one sink is done!
a111: Logged on 2016-07-02 16:56 thestringpuller: asciilifeform: i'm guessing zoolag is
down?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile, considerations of "abstract thinkers" who are really metaphysicians, such as "will people be able to breathe ???" are not to be considered. if they are they live if they are not they die. nobody cares. whether leika comes back
down or not is not a point of consideration in the soviet space programme.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-29 15:48 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform empty and full of rubble does wonders to keep hopes
down (and hope, expectation of future, TRULY is the mind eater for usians. be hopeless, you win.) and officious intermeddlers at a distance sufficient to breed actual people with some frequency.
trinque: yes, but at least he'll have a new hoverboard with fans that never spin
down thestringpuller: phf: ah. stackoverflow development. That's a good phrase. devs tend to be lazy, so when something breaks and stackoverflow has a solution they put they put a bandaid over wounds that require stitches and eventually someone sane has to sit
down and deturdify the mess.
trinque: k lemme copy teh data
down to dev box
mircea_popescu: ("if money's a curse, let god strike me
down with it! and may i never recover.")
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform empty and full of rubble does wonders to keep hopes
down (and hope, expectation of future, TRULY is the mind eater for usians. be hopeless, you win.) and officious intermeddlers at a distance sufficient to breed actual people with some frequency.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform equations, chemical formulas, everything you can note
down.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-27 20:29 asciilifeform: from phf's link, commentz: '...it's nice that run
down neighborhoods get a face lift, and I love craft beer and good food and coffee as much as the next guy (er, gal)-but what happened to the factories and the people that used to work in them? Their lives were largely destroyed by "free trade" and deindustrialization. We were once a producer society, and we were an economically and culturally healthier countr
phf: out 5 years ago. now i can't go there without getting the anger shakes, it's a fucking millenial central. i got into a fight at johnny brenda's (mentioned in the article) a year ago, and everybody backed
down, which made me even madder. fuck that place
mircea_popescu: theoretically the millions upon millions of pointless white kids that tear
down the universities each year and the nation's finances would utterly dilute the hood into meaninglessness.
phf: one guy (support) got it in his head that he's going to open a london branch of the company, he regularly arranges meetings with random uk business representatives to discuss along these lines. i heard he had some kind of meeting with richard branson as part of a small select group, etc. etc. mind you this has long been shot
down by the owners as utterly insane and shut the fuck up. doesn't deter him.
mircea_popescu: you know the hipster chick that went
down the ghetto road by her lonesome in nothing but six inch heels one fine late summer evening ?
hanbot: so you know, someone who needs to know this stuff for their job fails, which means someone further
down the line idem, no wonder no sense comes out of anything touching the atrocity.
mircea_popescu: errors travel back
down and grind
down not your results, but ~your capacity for having any results~.
mircea_popescu: i understand there's this anglosaxon tradition of "pronouncing a man's name like he himself does" come out of the bizarre happenstance that all of england decided to drop historical pronounciation and follow the airs of random whore history has forgot to mention just about the time they realised it'd be a good idea to mark
down how the language works.
mircea_popescu: anyway, ima go visit the favela sluts for no reason other than taking asciilifeform 's pictures, honest, i swear. ima bbl, coupla hours ; hold any online hos
down and occupied till i return!
mircea_popescu: i was too preoccupied otherwise to take pictures of street - with channel
down middle, like 1600 spain!
mircea_popescu: most of them got shut
down within 16 hours or somesuch.
mircea_popescu: so make it linkable to so it can go
down every week and we can bitch at you also.
thestringpuller: isn't ironic people say shit like this, but then luke-jr joins the channel to get "support for hardfork". then immediately after being shut
down is like "okay guys. they still hate us power rangers. I don't think we should talk about hard forks any time soon, cause it ain't happening"
mircea_popescu: sit the fuck
down, nobody's shocked and moreover nobody cares about the "mainstream" / powers that wanna-be blabla.
Framedragger: i wonder. in times of uncertainty, investors move money elsewhere. say eu continues to crumble
down, with states threatening to leave / leaving, euro going
down. could gbp be eventually seen as a "foreign stable thing" in europe? my bets are that it won't; but it'd be a curious outcome
Framedragger: it really is all about the germans now and what they do, i suppose, yeah. i wouldn't think that taxing london is *that* important though, and in any regard uk trading with eu is more important to uk than to eu, it would appear. but sure, shit's gonna go
down, will be interesting to follow.
mircea_popescu: but to the more general point, Framedragger : the master's job is mostly to encourage and support the young woman TO ACTUALLY MAKE CHOICES. which is to say, exactly to distance herself from learned helplessness of the nature of diana_coman 's above mentioned " don't change anything or it might all fall
down"
diana_coman: that thing when it *works* as in...now, this particular thing, don't change anything or it might all fall
down Framedragger: (what's nice with these paraconsistent systems is that they may not crumble
down when encountering some or other kind of logical paradox.) </weird-rant>
mircea_popescu: no, it's just that if you write
down the historical trade losses of usg agents to date, etherape figures way towards the top. this is more than, say, gaddafi ever managed.
diana_coman: I take the carpet away to discover that they had put it on top of all the bits and pieces of walls and whatnot they had gotten
down to change the window frames
mircea_popescu: anyone recalls the case of the famous mr nick leeson, the man who put an end to barings bank after two centuries of successful operation through the exact same process ? doubling
down on being on the wrong side of the market and then earthquake striking japan ?
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: fanfic all the way
down at the bankrupter
a111: Logged on 2016-06-21 20:56 thestringpuller: its usually to cut
down on spam, as I won't respond to recruiter inquiries unless they show up on IRC
mircea_popescu: just don't send it back out, the whole thirty bitcoin churning around bullshit will die
down soon enough.
mircea_popescu: shinohai i linked a pretty good piece yest, it's not JUST slock.it that are derps, the whole stack's rotten all the way
down.

☟︎ Bugpowder: Wind blowing it up mountains not
down tho so OK for now…
mircea_popescu: maybe he could be kim jong up from now on. and he could have a son and name him kim dong
down mircea_popescu: I myself used a Hole Hawg to drill many holes through studs, which it did as a blender chops cabbage. I also used it to cut a few six-inch-diameter holes through an old lath-and-plaster ceiling. I chucked in a new hole saw, went up to the second story, reached
down between the newly installed floor joists, and began to cut through the first-floor ceiling below. Where my homeowner's drill had labored and whined to spin the hu
BingoBoingo: phf: The push
down ratcheting screwdrivers by yankee/stanley are pretty cool, but also discontinued since forever ago.
Framedragger: a yea it's dns related, not just "
down". curious
