cazalla: another
trick is
to import chinese grown produce into australia by way of new zealand so can smack a "made in new zealand" label on it
cazalla: there was some media attention
to
that effect just a few months ago here.. imported chinese garlic sold as australia.. fucking food labelling here is so awful
that you cannot know what comes from where.. example "made in australia from local and imported ingredients"
cazalla: not convinced such markets are actually selling
the product
they claim
to be
shinohai: I buy
tomatoes at farmers market usually.
cazalla: i've got a couple chillis
to go in
this spring - anaheim and royal black
shinohai: Literally
tons of it growing around her place. I wish she grew pot.
shinohai: I usually leave with a bundle of cilantro and onions

shinohai: I am almost ashamed
to addmit I will converse with
this old Mexican lady for up
to an hour just because I love her damned pepper garden.
cazalla: guy's a barber

to dirt

cazalla:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-08-2015#1236757 <<< can vouch for
this..
the 80 year old guy over
the fence is always inviting me over
to just stroll into his backyard and
take what i want..
tools, veggies, whatever, help yourself he says but he is also a little senile so i've not
taken up
the offer lest he call
the police because some intruder is in

BingoBoingo looks at
the varied IRL contacts Bingo has been polite enough
to introduce
to BTC and wonder whether
too soon or wrong
target leaning
towards
the latter.
BingoBoingo: The lawyer who has
taken custody of my planetary acquainance is a good person
though. I
trust she will keep him safe. Her political opinions are close
to Pete's except for
the Bitcoin is going
to burn
the world part.
Vexual: doesnt need
to buy a coat
BingoBoingo: Dude has a future
though, he made himself some Jew Lawyer's pet.
BingoBoingo: I have a fat acquaintence who moved
to Shitcago. His fellow probationers are a harder and less human sort
than he did rehab with here.
BingoBoingo: Instead of bury your cheese
to keep it safe Chicago was more... Like a FUPA
BingoBoingo: In
the native language of
the displaced folk, apparently Chicago meant "place
that reeks of onion"
BingoBoingo: How long ago is up
to debate. Good metrics suggest most of it still goes
to Lake Michigan.
BingoBoingo: Not long ago
they pointed it away from Lake Michigan
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: But
take comfort.
The "Chicago River" is a 21st century open sewer
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: If any part of
the "Chicago River" is in a frame most of use can smell it.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo:
they can always film in chicago and call it nyc,
throw in some pixels so no one notices
mircea_popescu: (usually cheapest here means - just get someone
to edit your apache server logs)
mircea_popescu: it's about
the same as buying "seer advice". you can pay as much as you want
to, but you should buy
the cheapest.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> sadly stitches are not a unit of account, pete_dushenski << Seriosly NBC is
too poor
to film police dramas in NYC. Hence "Chicago PD"
pete_dushenski: i'm
trolling a local newsrag and need
to know how far
to
take my schtick :)
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: btw, what's
the going rate for online ads
these days ? sounds like cpm is dead, but do you know 'average' cpc off-hand ?
pete_dushenski: 30 rock might actually be
the last
tv show i watched

BingoBoingo likes
the hollywood dichotomy of break your neck on a stool vs. buy a house in Jersey
BingoBoingo contemplates selling BTCTalk account and entering a deed of sold in
the bot, but...
☟︎ pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: what else has nbc bought in
the last 5 years ?
mircea_popescu: nothing nbc bought in
the past 2-12-20 billion has
turned out worth anything
pete_dushenski: "Vox Media, a publishing house for
the digital age, has landed a $200 million strategic investment from
the entertainment group NBCUniversal"
mircea_popescu: apparently obamacare doesn't make
the lithium strong enough anymore.
mircea_popescu: is
the new owner advising people against
trusting
the new owner ?
fluffypony: This account is being sold soon, so please do not
trust anyone on
this account who says

the original woodcollector.
fluffypony: PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE YOUR FEEDBACK AS IT IS HISTORICAL AND A REMINDER
TO ALL
TO BE CAREFUL.
fluffypony: As
the new owner of
this account I have removed any feedback left by
the previous owner as a courtesy before I sell
the account.
BingoBoingo: And Bitc wife comes
to when she realizes only one outcome lets her live
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: did you have any 'absolute path' issues when setting up coracle ? i still haven't overcome
this issue with my rotor attempts
mircea_popescu: from listening attentively
to
the music and
thus prevents
the onset of
that dreaded
thing,
thought. For:
mircea_popescu: though it is manipulated from
time
to
time so as
to make sure
that only light music will come out of it. I know people who will keep
the radio playing all
through a meal and at
the same
time continue
talking just loudly enough for
the voices and
the music
to cancel out.
This is done with a definite purpose.
The music prevents
the conversation from becoming serious or even coherent, while
the chatter of voices stops one
mircea_popescu: The music-and if possible it should be
the same music for everybody-is
the most important ingredient. Its function is
to prevent
thought and conversation, and
to shut out any natural sound, such as
the song of birds or
the whistling of
the wind,
that might otherwise intrude.
The radio is already consciously used for
this purpose by innumerable people. In very many English homes
the radio is literally never
turned off,
wilbns: fell off a roof onto my hip which had
that phone clipped
to it, no problem. accidentally put in a cup of whisky and coke, no problem.

the movie, but
there was all kinds of wacked out stuff happening in
the cartoon.
that was
the first
time i
think i saw
two animated characters getting it on w/ each other
mircea_popescu: saw
the film of
that
thing, because hot chick. was

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> <phf> it's not like you end up giving out

to buy and read it, or forget it. << Been a decade and months since my mistake. Recognized when I wanted

them again.
trinque now has
the duck
tales
theme stuck in head
wilbns: mircea_popescu: haha, yes, exactly,
that was my favorite candy as a kid which is why i liked
the cartoon
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski it's a great show, starting maybe about 5-6-7 or so but be prepared
to support
the kid by not being a hypocrite cop-out sorta parent. which always sounds a lot easier
than it
turns out
to be
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i'm
taking notes here on cartoonz for kidz, so keep 'em comin.
☟︎ trinque: indeed. clearly wanted
to cash in and go do broadway
mircea_popescu: it's a pity
they
took southpark
the route of
this hot
topic "let's stand in front random news event of
the week"
pete_dushenski: 'the real ghostbusters' (cartoon) was developed by columbia pictures and 'dic entertainment'. i'm not sure
that it was any good, more
that
the siren sound of
the car as played in
the
theme song was really rather memorable
trinque: I still re-watch ren & stimpy
time
to
time
mircea_popescu: plus exactly
the right brand of anarchic anti-authoritarian, sexually innuendo-ian and so forth
mircea_popescu: if you ever want
to introduce a kid
to surrealism, c&c is
the way
to go.
wilbns: ducktales, gummy bears and
talespin over here.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: i definitely enjoyed animaniacs and pinky and
the brain, never watched much cow&chick
mircea_popescu loved both cow&chicken and animaniacs. not
THAT generational.
mircea_popescu: this "giving" bs is like lifting kids up
to
the basketball hoop. pointless and boring.
pete_dushenski: not
that i have any real love lost for ghostbusters movies, but
the cartoons...
mircea_popescu: <phf> it's not like you end up giving out
trash, i lose books
that i
then have
to buy again << seriously, giving women books is fucktarded. either order her
to buy and read it, or forget it.
mircea_popescu: and similarly moore's mostly an opportunist. nevertheless,
they represent
the neverending hope of
the countless christine wiigs out
there, between fargo and paris (wi)
that
they
to one day could be famous!
mircea_popescu: <phf> i
thought
Thompson was mostly a polemicist, are

☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform linked cryptome article badly stitched
together effort of random derp
to get his name out

the Yankees. One
that strengthened
the South immeasurably.

the single, solitary source of all
things even vaguely resembling
that which
they claim
to defend against. << who,
the soviets ?
mircea_popescu: <mats> i chatted up a cutie at
the farmers market
today << win.
BingoBoingo: I am actually not sure
to
this day if
that girl is literate herself.
phf: it's not like you end up giving out
trash, i lose books
that i
then have
to buy again
