mircea_popescu: for
that matter, "Требование увода советских войск из Грузии и организации референдума "под контролем смешанных комиссий из социалистов и коммунистов" представляет собой одну из самых низкопробных империалистских ловушек под демократи
mircea_popescu: they've heard of one potemkin but not another,
they know of
this but not
that,
they're familiar with queens but don't
think
the brooklyn bridge exists, stuff like
that.
mircea_popescu: the very approximative knowledge in humanities of
the english speaking folk, at both astroturf and crackpot/armchair general level never ceases
to amaze me.
mircea_popescu: btw, i have been wondering since
the stuff started : how is it
that
tatar-bunar's never mentioned re
the ukrainian situation ?
mircea_popescu: but hey,
the nationalistic ambitions of victoria, regina horsefucker.

that has left my breast... keep it now, and
take
the rest! Hear my vow before I go, ζωή μου, σᾶς ἀγαπῶ."
BingoBoingo has moderated his future vehicle plans. Instead of firetruck contemplating pickup
truck.
mats: welp,
the way building codes makes shit safer, you just end up jerking off in
the firehouse or starting a business on
the job
BingoBoingo: <mats> lots became firefighters after,
to chase
the
thrill <<
The one part of
the Nordic system
that works always. Once people get hooked on
the
thrill you don't have
to pay
them in anything other
than opportunity
to continue.
mircea_popescu: now
that's what i call genius.
that
thing actually fucking rhymes, agapou / go are exactly homophonic.

mats: 95% of sappers i ever
talked

this
mircea_popescu: it's lulzier
to propose
to people
that "lightning could never strike aeroplane - what's
to close
the circuit ?!?!?!"
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> not mega-surprise, proper medical gear was scarce. << Still rather state of
the art.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Yeah mythology. Stalin was an evolution of Peter's empty facades and clumsy imitation of
the west.
mircea_popescu: you know we had a special soldering iron for doing
that, at school ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> how did
they hear of crimean potemkin but not of
the great red ship ? who knows. << Cold War culture.
Those ruskies love playing pretend...
mats: maybe i had a shit magnifying glass but i never got it
to work
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in maryland
they burn
the ants with empathy, no need for
technology.
mircea_popescu: how did
they hear of crimean potemkin but not of
the great red ship ? who knows.
mircea_popescu: i kept
thinking salce's "corazzata potemkin" and it just didn't make any sense.
mircea_popescu: i had nfi what
the anglos are
trying
to say by "potemkin", which is a common enough name, among people with an actual culture.
mircea_popescu: in other news...
the reddit is mainstream bitcoin now ? in what alt-world ?
BingoBoingo: "Use smaller words" "I can't read
that" "Write for roach comprehension"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo wait, does
that mean idiots
trying
to make smart people feel bad about being smart ?!
mircea_popescu: all
this "blockstream" stuff is so lulzy. random derpy outfit with enough money
to cover 18 months' worth of modest burn rate.
BingoBoingo: Also... apparently
there is a smart shaming subreddit
BingoBoingo: "Wow, is
that mind bent. It's like r/iamverysmart crossed with extreme ancap libertarianism, with a dash of cultist "one
true bitcoin", and possibly some blockstream fed small block euphoria. It's purified crazy."
assbot: jackbootedstatist comments on In no less
than six years of block size increases XTCoin would be a defanged and impotent caricature of actual Bitcoin. ... (

mircea_popescu: fun fact, since for some reason i'm doing history now. romania's head rabi (niemirower) died in 1940. he was succeded by one alex safran, who was 29 at
that
time. and by virtue of being head rabi,
the young man also had an ex officio seat in
the romanian senate. but for not being yet 40 years of age as
the senate required, he asked for, and obtained, a special derrogation from
the high chamber of cassation. and was sea

think any disaster hence has had such a chilling impact on society.
mircea_popescu: which - another
thing very little known.
that importation was
the bane of europe.
mircea_popescu: well at
the
time being a father was moreover pleasant.
mircea_popescu: mostly, yes. more effectually, it came with
the #include
that you'll be a father
to her kids.
mircea_popescu: (also let me mention here, as
this may come as a suprirse
to my western friends -
that in romanian classical society, as well as for
that matter most of eastern europe, as well as for
that matter all of europe in an earlier, simpler
time - it was
the height of poor
taste for a woman
to refuse sexual congress, and a pointed declaration of personal infirmity. sort-of like saying you can't read without your glasses
mircea_popescu: btw, was it actually named for
the lucky strike smoker chick ?
mircea_popescu: which is exactly what's 50% of
the conversation in my household for
the first x months of
the life of a new girl anyway
mircea_popescu: haha not in ada, just,
they'll have
to publish it and we'll go "omfg you can't be
this stupid, redo it" like 50
times.
mircea_popescu: yeah. hey, anyone looking for something
to do
that'd be useful and also an incredible walk on coals ?

ben_vulpes: i don't consider bitcoin production ready in any of
the incarnations
that i've seen
assbot: Logged on 20-08-2015 18:23:28; mike_c: i consider it simply,
the foundation says so.
ben_vulpes: with your servers and
trunk conections
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform:
the amusing
thing is
that you seem
to

that *you're*
the pauper hereabouts
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform everyone's suggestion seems
to be "hey, use perl! bash script! fuck my sister she's a slut anyway!"
mircea_popescu: which is a harder proposition
than nobody ever used gpg.
