trinque: justJanne: bringing
things places costs money
justJanne: I am saying: just
the food you let go
to waste would be enough
to feed
the starving people in Africa.
williamdunne: We could have more people if people wanted
to fuck ugly chicks
ben_vulpes: this contradiction routine wears
thin, justJanne.
williamdunne: Waste is a fact,
there is no real way around it
ben_vulpes: suuuure, if all
the food were spread really
thinly across
the whole population base, we could all live on gruel!
trinque: "at
this rate of emptying
the
tank we could support infinite
trucks"
ben_vulpes: were it all dispersed evenly across everyone, rather
than proportionately
to
their ability
to pay.
justJanne: But about 40% of
the produced food is wasted.
justJanne: Currently
the food production of
the world could support 10 billion people.
ben_vulpes: justJanne:
there are simply
too many people on
this planet
justJanne: BingoBingo:
the issue is
that you can't walk around in larger
towns anymore, and
that's where bikes become useful. And no, people don't steal it. Hell, I've left my laptop hundreds of
times on random park benches in heavily frequented parks, never stolen. In my neighborhood most people don't even lock
their doors.
ben_vulpes: pnohe does not want
to resolve dns even apparently
trinque: could be like "and
then we're going
to own half
this city" and so on, with

assbot: Logged on 19-05-2015 02:00:50; mats:
this occurred under

three supply dudes, each of
them who successively
transferred
to another unit before shit hit
the fan, and
to my knowledge nobody's been locked up yet
BingoBoingo: driving alone on a road in
the middle of nowhere during
the day, just might
take first place
trinque: I used
to get a lot of
thinking done driving between
the major cities in
TX; past a certain hour
there's nobody out
there
BingoBoingo: And if one can't walk with leisure
to all places of import in
the
town,
the
town sucks
BingoBoingo: A bicycle is just dead wait
that's going
to get stolen as soon as you have
to go inside a building
BingoBoingo: The natural order of
things is you walk around
town and drive (car, horse, rocket) between
towns.
assbot: Logged on 19-05-2015 01:15:30; justJanne: If you have small narrow streets, distances between 10 and 15 km, and a huge amount of people on
tiny space,
assbot: Logged on 19-05-2015 01:12:44; justJanne: With less
than 47% of
the people owning cars, and everyone using bikes, public
transport, and walking,
the amount of overweight people reduces drastically.
mircea_popescu: not everything has
to be preserved. some shit dies,
thanks fucking god.
mircea_popescu: there's no rule
that "everyone must has", be it equal chances or whatever else.
there's also no rule
that everyone's just as good as everyone else.
assbot: Logged on 19-05-2015 01:09:19; justJanne: And what if you can't afford it at
that point?
assbot: Logged on 19-05-2015 01:07:21; jurov: will
The Most Serene Republic cover your medical expenses in case of accident?
assbot: Logged on 19-05-2015 01:04:12; justJanne: Your employer has
to send
that money
to
the govt.
mircea_popescu: i get it, you got how
to
throw a great party down, once someone prepares
the cupboards. very impressed.
assbot: Logged on 19-05-2015 00:58:49; justJanne: And
the personal freedom in
the Nordic model is larger
than in
the US.
mircea_popescu:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=19-05-2015#1137583 << yes. and it only works for as long as
there's free herring in
the scania straight, or for as long as kennedy is ein berliner and airlifts food for free, or for as long as
the north sea oil lasts, or for as long as insane luck rolls keep going. otherwise, fuckall, german peasants were
the most unfortunate wretches
throughout
the intermediate period between first
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: "Doubtless
the danger of infection is exaggerated
to-day in its sociological dangerous manner."
mircea_popescu: yes, yes,
the one with
tb will die first and
the one with leprosy stinks worst. big whoop.
assbot: Logged on 19-05-2015 00:59:33; justJanne: Because
the US is a reference point as worst case civilized country.
mircea_popescu: corruption is commerce

that one's
thinking, and
the fact it happens i npractice, and not even exceptionally but
to
the degree it can no longe be ignored even by
the wilfully ignorant ...
mircea_popescu: me persuading people
to betray uncle sam = corruption!111 ; congress coming up with fatca
to FORCE people into betraying
their own customers = rule of law

these days
mats: you'd
think
there's not a good reason for
the kernel
to need PostScript
trinque: the perception is probably due
to myriad shitty filters and ppd's by printer manufacturers
trinque: postscript is probably itself
turing complete
trinque: BingoBoingo:
this probably means CUPS is
too
mats: i dunno all
that much about linux
tbh
trinque: history will hold
that Windows was specifically intended for maximal didling
mats: another fun fact:

Turing-complete PostScript VM in
the kernel
trinque: then 5 years later
that's a part of history and you can't change
that, who are you?

things like

decimation: there's no doubt
that a 'real' chemical attack is gonna result in alot of deaths
mats: guys in
the chemical corps were some of
the most crazy ive ever met

decimation: "Soldiers from all branches of

the chemical school for
training in various
types of chemical detection and survival
through several courses including practice in a hot zone where actual
toxic agents such as
the Sarin and VX nerve agents."
BingoBoingo: The wild of armadillo was of course in it's natural state dead on
the side of
the road

traveling
the still more southern parts of illinois, saw
the first wild armadillo I've seen east of
the missippi

time believing VX was used in a
training event
decimation: he said it
