BingoBoingo: Next week wil have
a series of sitdowns with the cowork manager and other accountants to figure out what exactly "Grupo Carlos Picos / Consultoria" did and did not do.
mircea_popescu: all sorts of schmucks ended up with "oh, things will totally happen because i saw keiser on tv!!!", and so forth, then come here to ask me for "comment" on their latest idiocy because who knows, perhaps it's not because it's totally irrelevant and completely invisible that it wasn't mentioned, maybe it's not mentioned because they hadn't asked me, here i was sitting waiting for
a rando to inquire!

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> local company is
a person in law ; if item you have is not
a person in law, you have not registered
a company ; if it is -- IT opens bank acct. << WTF previous accountant did is subject to ongoing investigation. My understanding is this was
a matter of "Who is this agent of the company making initial deposit and swearing business is not
a drug business"
mircea_popescu: (v, of course, very much the correct solution -- shit is made by certain people in certain places in
a certain way, and leberwurst also made by certain people in certain places in
a certain way. review seals and presses to distinguish who's who and shit from leberwurst.)

mircea_popescu: it's only free speech fundamentalism if it's not
a first amendment issue, mats.
mircea_popescu: it also results in
a crazy appetite for gold jewelry, and some inept real estate development.

bonobo: I do not want to bother you , but I'm frustrated, today I discussed with
a guy 4 hours to make him understand who is Roger
mircea_popescu: are you seriously sitting there and telling me that the pantsuit are 100% ineffectual and ineffective and the reason something isn't
a weapon is that something not working as one ? DO WE STILL HAVE TO DO THIS ?~!?!? IN 2018?!?!?!
mircea_popescu: well, obviously there's
a whole train, and anthrax and whatnot. but the civilisation-shaping one, was oftica.
mircea_popescu: so is this
a shit-denying&seeking schizo duality or what then ?

☟︎ phf: actually i think in soviet system they were produced by going further distance from moscow. the whole soviet engineer model of economic expansion: send
a group of leveled up moscovites to khanty-mansiyks to build
a factory and
a hospital
a111: Logged on 2017-08-16 17:30 mircea_popescu: when i was about six or so, visiting some relatives who had
a farm, i discovered
a romanian bareneck (kind of chicken) chick drowning in the sty efflux. so i picked it out, and it was
a pet for
a year or so and then made
a great soup. rooster, too.
mircea_popescu: (i thought the story of my rescuing
a transylvanian naked neck chick drowning in the sty effluvia was written somewhere -- apparently not. aanyways.)
phf: there's no place for transcendent in
a five year plan
mircea_popescu: what is the meaning of "ascension" in this context, if it isn't literally "i picked
a chick out of the river of shit" ?
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: i don't have the original here to check against it so it's not
a certainty, but it doesn't seem to have been.
a111: Logged on 2017-04-13 12:32 mircea_popescu: today it's "here's
a deck of representational trading cards, pick one to think you are, and we'll be reprersenting... the card!!! and therefore (?!?!?) you".

a pro tip : before dante's middle-of-the-forest, do not waste your time reading anything younger than you, there's absolutely no point and no benefit.

a listed prohibited conduct as it sends the "wrong message," said Director of Student Conduct Andrea Goodwin.'

lobbes: This reminds me of
a quote somewhere in logs, went something like "US education just hands kids
a deck of 'beliefs', 'principles', 'truths', etc; says: pick one or two. Battle each other like in ur pokemans"

mircea_popescu: (the original "i'm

a little bit rock'n'roll" fairitale was told by lenatus to the plebs of 500bc, btw.)
trinque: there'll be
a brief wallet outage starting now. doing some network fiddling.
mircea_popescu: well, it was said in these logs and it's still true that rome is well summarized by observing some people built some benches in
a park somewhere and spent
a millenium thenceforth sorting out who should sit where on them.
mircea_popescu: it's unclear altogether if late rome had
a system at all ; this is
a matter open to much scholarly debate.
mircea_popescu: but the notion of
a countCY, and OF X!!!, as opposed to THE count himself is very much redolent of the rotl.
mircea_popescu: that's the great advantage of the homosexual bottom : even
a broomstick can fill it.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, re taxation : item as
a notion didn't even exist in 1100s. payment across hierarchy had an entirely different substance.

A different c value may be desirable for use in different computing environments." << check it out asciilifeform ! IT IS SATOSHI ALL OVER AGAIN. why. WHY!!!
mircea_popescu: and godefroy says, "look at you, fool, you had your own sovereign crown (hugh was an earl, at the time this was sovereign) but had to come here and became
a slave for it, and now try to sell me on it as if it were some great progress ?"
mircea_popescu: no, godefroy was naught else than
a man. as per that shaw description, "the panache" etc.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and he tries to sell this to godfrey of bouillon, who was
a lord at the time. this doesn't mean "rich" or "powerful" or any pantsuit nonsense of today, trying to explain exactly why it shouldn't be the case you even try.
mircea_popescu: without an army, or any resources, or you know, the forethought to have at the very least packed up that eclipse for later, hugh understands the precarity of his position, and so is
a great supporter of the byzantine king.
mircea_popescu: literally, that was his thought process, "o look, astronomical phenomenon ergo i buy
a car now."
mircea_popescu: it was
a sad vulnerable moment, incidentally. ever heard ye of hugh "magnus" (ie, le maisne in french, literally, "lesser born") ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i can't re-write
a compendium of feudal history ad hoc ;/
mircea_popescu: it's what i heard, "diaphanous, as in, if you're not familiar with the whole tree of medieval history and social theory, the jumps are
a little wide".
mircea_popescu: the venue through which the socialist disaster happened happens to be "reason" in
a particular pantsuit reinterpretation -- the bitcoin cash of worms introduced "reasonable" basis for taxation on the basis of "land resources", and from there on this non-reason worked its poison into the whole gamut of idiocy on display today.
mircea_popescu: then the pantsuit centered in rome attempted the bitcoin cash of worms, and it's been going towards building marx's paradise --
a world devoid of any people -- ever since.
mircea_popescu: see, cuz if you store
a liter and something, that's almost
a kg.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i dunno now why i thought the limit is
a degree of magnitude higher on both energy and size.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: in fact : 750W at 50% conversion can provide
a lot of lift -- if the whole thing it's embedded in is 1kg, your energetic expenditure per meter lift is not even 10J. can do 75m/s theoretically.
mircea_popescu: well,
a 300 gram 750 W engine totally can make
a chopper fly.
mircea_popescu: let's get back to it.
a) can i buy 10cc engine, off shelf ? b) dinamo needs coils, makes it heavy.

mircea_popescu: funny how they never seem to remember who is "the government" whenever ~they~ go around messing with it. how about bad guys === usg don't go around using mnuchin as
a hand puppet to finance their bad deeds ?
mircea_popescu: they got themselves
a "culture war" right in the cunt, and it was sensitive and "beyond reach"
