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.)
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" ? ☟︎☟︎

BingoBoingo: Sorry I meant to drop https://www.theregister.co.uk/2018/01/12/on_call/ out of the buffer: “It was one of the few places where the students had questions, but they tended to be about who pays us to be tourists.”
BingoBoingo: Venuezalan translator girl I've been taking spanish lessons from (300 pesos or ~10 USD/hr) was paid 20 USD/hr for translation services by peeling bills off of the gangsta roll.

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".
