trinque:

mircea_popescu: yes. like, if you put a dab of icecream on your
tongue, or if you open a creaky door, or if you catch a hare running off in
the bushline
mircea_popescu: you know
that feeling you get when something happens ?
assbot: Logged on 29-07-2015 00:58:45; nubbins`: second one spent a fuckin hour selling us on
the experience of selling our house
through her
assbot: Logged on 29-07-2015 00:56:14; asciilifeform: i don't grasp
this, and won't, regardless of how well mircea_popescu explains it. why
the fuck would anyone want ritual over
the real
thing ?
hanbot: asciilifeform well fo' sho' when describing steps, be explicit about antecedents, i'll pay off
the department of redundancy police department.
mircea_popescu: which is weird, but who am i
to argue with
the smartest people in
the world.
BingoBoingo: <phf> gracie jj all over
the place, like with karate in
the 90s, and roughly as useful << USeful enough for its particular role in
the proscribed contest
assbot: Logged on 29-07-2015 00:53:50; nubbins`: as someone who knows far
too much about

the place, like with karate in
the 90s, and roughly as useful
mircea_popescu: just drop
this "federation" or w/e it's called, start a new one. who gives a shit
BingoBoingo: Built a brand on neon
trunks covered in skulls, but Reebock doesn't
think
they can market it? FU
BingoBoingo: Other side effect of recent UFC hullabaloo is fighters no longer get
to wear distinctive attire into

ty!
assbot: Logged on 29-07-2015 04:51:29; mircea_popescu: gavin does
the clown, for LESS MONEY
than what
the headbashers get.
BingoBoingo: Who knows, head may feel better afterwards, would
take offer.
BingoBoingo would happily
take 2.5 kilodollars
to get beat provided a referee exists
to call stoppage for
tko. USD have been scarce here since misdemeanor
thing started
mircea_popescu: because it's easier
to play
the clown, and A LOT more hitchhiker hos line up for it.
hanbot: say asciilifeform, can
this line from rotor step 6) be devague-ified? "and fill distfiles with
tarballs, etc. as before."
mircea_popescu: gavin does
the clown, for LESS MONEY
than what
the headbashers get.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: you neglect
to consider
that for most people we discuss,
this would be a step up.
mircea_popescu: this is what you casually forget, when you keep
thinking everyone else's doing so much better
than you.

mircea_popescu: According
to
the released figures, a combatant with less
than five fights in
the UFC will make $2,500 in sponsorship money per fight
mircea_popescu: "The deal was reported
to be worth $70 million over six years."
mircea_popescu: "It was an expansive decision on
the UFC's part, as
the promotion claimed its main interest was
to legitimize
the sport by removing
the
tacky, albeit characteristic, fight gear
that had become an emblem of
the polarizing sport"
BingoBoingo: My understanding is
this UFC promotion killed
the one way for its participants
to get side-money at market rates.
mircea_popescu: then
they have
the gall
to mock catholocs for being so-and-so.
mircea_popescu: i certainly don't expect
the libertard definition of diplomatic
to apply.
mircea_popescu: i do not expect
the head of a headbashing federation
to be "diplomatic", whatever
that weans
mircea_popescu: "It was just
the latest in a string of calloused comments made by UFC's head honcho -- far from
the diplomatic dialogue expected of
the largest mixed martial arts organization"
BingoBoingo: Cutman is
the only reason fights of interesting length happen
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo what's a "cutman" << Stops
the bleeding in between rounds.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Boxes are scarce, CPU's are scarce. Imma
trying
to make St Clair county my bitch while making sure all my computing fits on back for extended periods of
time.
mircea_popescu: i have serious issues
taking people named dana seriously.
mircea_popescu: or just do what i do and run a random box for
the purpose.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo i dun
think it currently is possible
to have an open source graphical anything. << Apparently
the next .1 iteration of Crystal Space seeks
to abolish
the cs-toolkit dependency. In
the interim I'll chop, maybe finally lean diff, and just perhaps make actual patches
to shit.
mircea_popescu: this basic formula of yours stays vague deliberately, for
the obvious reason.
