mircea_popescu: iirc one of the best serpentine roads in the world, it's a wonder they didn't simply close it and rent it out for motorcycling events
mircea_popescu: in other news, man it feels gooood to write/publish a new article. i actually enjoy it way the fuck more than meeting a new girl -- on average.
mircea_popescu: !!v C843C3EDAD57CBADF09B9849655F9A8590AD2665807FE81588B00FA0930C6941
mircea_popescu: trinque, aite, lemme do it over, i don't want to pay week-old invoice in bitcoin. 5 mins.

mircea_popescu: i recall going through the chans at some point , ~0 live material came up
mircea_popescu: not a matter of burning. a matter of, in his position, he has ONE thing to do, and it must be done immediately. time is ticking away. that's NOT when you start picking up small side quests.
mircea_popescu: keks, no moar "parliament". only took 1k or so years, the albiontards are slow.
mircea_popescu: dun have to be solved today, we'll live for quite a while as it stands.
mircea_popescu: but i lack ammo, as i don't japanese myself. (the naked girl in snow, she spent 10 years of her life trying to get to the bottom o fthat pile, with mixed success)
mircea_popescu: n "find allies" and "break down the priviledge"... the intellectual socioeconomy of ustarded morons is quite well understood by now.)
mircea_popescu: so then she picks the garbage pile the rooster sits on, calls it aifl tower and tells all her ingroup. cuz right, it makes sense, rooster ? gaelic cock ? it's even kinda shaped similarily! then through the "beauty" of the internet her stupid fucking son is going to pester dictionary writers to "be inclusive" and treat the eiffel tower ~AS A CLASS~ rather than as an item, and discuss "other examples" in the first stage, the
mircea_popescu: gly bumps on her chest are her boobs! like she's seen in the hotter older girls with real boobage.
mircea_popescu: (and, for completeness, i find the misrepresentation thereof as "ethical feeling" as displayed in ustarded tradition from carnegie to buffett ~particularly~ galling. it is EXACTLY iliterate huswife hearing on the radio them paris folk have dat aifl towers and going about her courtyard to identify "what could be that them aifl tower in here". cuz everything has one, right, she knows, like when she was a little girl, those u
mircea_popescu: so in practical, male, power-constructed terms, however you wish to call this : if you fail to make good because you spent all your resources hailing twennysomethings, that's a failure of education (ie, blame the parents, shoulda told you better), but if you fail to make it because couldn't find support in the old guard, well, that's the plain failure to thrive (blame self).
mircea_popescu: no, it's from the epoch where teens whined that omfg, "she's claiming not to be a whore but expects me to pay for the coffee"
mircea_popescu: riding atop gimp, i never encountered a case where mactardation was even usable. we're not talking here microsoft (shit never worked), nor holy shit "gimp not werk".
mircea_popescu: and the problem with this part of the lands is that the sluts are short.
mircea_popescu: 30yo with no experience has exactly 0 business talking to 20something subbies as a general rule, it's a complete mismatch, like taking pepper and cinnamon TO the indies.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, lobbes , not to cramp your style, but... how old was the subbie you propositioned ?
mircea_popescu: not a bad idea at that. you can by round trip from us in uy for that matter
mircea_popescu: business is all about identifying these things, writing the correct numbers down, and then comparing sums.
mircea_popescu: gotta deal with copa specifically, not with ustardistani interface
mircea_popescu: possibly dealing with typically ustardian faux thing, where the corner grocery store misrepresents itself as "bank". except "oh, we can't do wires"
mircea_popescu: if they carry, the dude with ruler is welcome to stuff it, you bought ticket from your airline not from him/
mircea_popescu: i have had them carry in excess of a quarter ton for me. ASIDE from luggage.
mircea_popescu: at least compared to what idiocy passes for business as usual over there.
mircea_popescu: risking a few k to not have to waste another 6 months dithering about how "oh, i guess we should talk to people o hurr durr we have not what to sell" is a genius move,
mircea_popescu: this may be a very good deal, seeing how pizarro is eating your bone marrow, at a fixed monthly cost, and you do two trips a year, worth a few u each.
mircea_popescu: IF indeed the box is carried, and IF indeed customs want money, you can just abandon it, fo ra fixed cost of whatever you put in it.
mircea_popescu: specifically, have you asked copa if they will carry a box for you. this is not an euphemism for a piece of luggage, it is a straight name for a cardboard fucking box. it is also not related to bv's misadventure with sleeping and routing and w/e.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, fwiw the story you're telling does not convince me.
mircea_popescu: well, imo getting a lot of gear there asap would be very much beneficial for everyone.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, you can actually ship an oversized box can't you ? or do usg airlines not sell this ?
mircea_popescu: might be worth it to put a coupla us in a box, test whether can be taken through ?
