BingoBoingo: Here the girls have to go to a parada de omníbus and wait for someone who isn't too retarded to know why they aren't taking a bus.
BingoBoingo: Girls can still make on the street corner in Costa Rica?
mircea_popescu: buy the girls their weight in shit, spend on it less than what they could make on street corner in an hour. only recipe for happiness there is!
BingoBoingo has a couple of very beefy dragonflies on the balcony tonight
mircea_popescu: WHY GIVE MONEY TO ANYONE, i say.
mircea_popescu: speaking of money, spent all day on huge harem shopping trip. i am now in possession of picture including bimbo on 8 inch platforms holding the ~$2.70 receipt for them.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: No bear in this contest. We've got mongoloids choosing to be retarded and mongoloids born that way trying to drool it out in the ring
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: iirc mircea_popescu had this essay where 'why wouldja give money to a bear ? bear can't spend money, may as well give it straight to hunter'
mircea_popescu: kinda the sad conclusion from prior, also : you need pantsuit to decapitate orc heads, because otherwise orc heads "soberania" all over themselves and you get argentina, qatar etc.
asciilifeform: if the 'countries that do shit' can't be arsed to keep his lights on...
BingoBoingo: If Maduro falls I suspect it will be for a falta of GPGgrams offering to trade rum for hanbot hours of decisionmaking, but the list of countries that do shit still weight heavily towards Maduro.
asciilifeform: !#s tired of living
asciilifeform: difficult to picture a better advert for sane systems than stuxnet et al. but somehow didn't sink into thick orc heads.

BingoBoingo: In other news the psyops are really cranking up in Vzla. 10+ hours sin luz in the barrios where the generals and colonels live daily since wednesday. Someone wants to bore these folks into taking to the streets

BingoBoingo: The only people for whom libya was a success are the cucks who enjoy Germany getting "BlaKKKED (TM)(R)"
mircea_popescu: russkis bothered with it ~specifically~ to exploit usg's shocking cuntitude as a superlative of weakness and for no other imaginable reason.
mircea_popescu: libya is why they lost syria.
asciilifeform: these are the folx for whom e.g. tyre fire of libya is a 'success' ( ghaddafi dead? check. no unified arabistan ? check. etc )
mircea_popescu: that's what THEY ALL SAY. "i deeply regret nothing else and nothing besides having had the misfortune of being in the white house when our taiwan turned out to be a paper wrap on burning fire and no more -- all the OTHERS had it much better, because then the paper wrap LOOKED solid enough"
mircea_popescu: or, in the immortal words of a ~very typical~ (if coincidentally naive enough orc as to be plain about it), http://trilema.com/2014/the-disadvantages-of-living-among-idiots/#selection-59.2-59.124
mircea_popescu: they're the sorta "fix that works while not needed" nonsense "elected representative governments" tend to come up with
mircea_popescu: lotta failed attempts, and the success of the successes extremely fucking dubious.
asciilifeform: for completeness, oughta include the laughably failed attempts -- the london-based 'alt-gov'-s of poland, ukrs, etc
BingoBoingo not seeing that in their either
mircea_popescu: i mean... it's a great read and all, but doesn't happen to be what i had in mind. pretty sure the logline was it.
asciilifeform: dun seem like this one's in there
BingoBoingo: NO, pretty sure there's a trilema
asciilifeform: it's 1 of those brit-empire algos the current derps 'inherited' (brits packed it in india but left behind a pakistan; usg , then, in germany (standing), korea (standing), vietnam (oops), taiwan (standing), etc
mircea_popescu: i'd readily trade a few endangered species or w/e, an australia or two glassed, for its erradication.
mircea_popescu: pretty shameful that this human stain still exists, incidentally.
a111: Logged on 2016-08-01 00:44 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-08-01#1511937 << oh, "color revolutions" dun work ? tell you what, we'll steal your country's exports and with the proceeds finance an alt-country we'll pretend is realy your country. ha-ha!
mircea_popescu: there's of course http://trilema.com/2016/and-they-wont-fucking-yield/#selection-215.0-223.427 also in the vein, but there was an exact one ;/
BingoBoingo: Will look, think I remember a title snippet
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i seem to recall a trilema article about stealing a country, by creating an imaginary alt-country and just pretending that's it ; i can't quite find it now, and it's a shame, considering how prophetic it turns out to be.

jurov: I have already moved, just few kilometers, still living in Slovakia, but it took better part of year to clean up the old flat for sale, the building has been renovated too.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> how the fuck they expect to make those pipes work is anyone's guess. "rubber", as fucking if. << If I went back to old country I don't think I could ever buy a house after seeing the local concrete glory.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I suspect the Italians hated the boat and don't subsidize hawaiian cane sugar
a111: Logged on 2019-01-31 02:14 asciilifeform: i dun recall whether trinque specifically tested this, but as i understand it oughta work precisely like-so.
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-31#1891133 << this is correct, and where cuntoo lacks proper trb deps (if it does) cuntoo is wrong ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-01-30 18:29 asciilifeform: e.g. trinque
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-30#1890817 << brother flies; I grab controls only to amuse myself ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2019-01-30 16:10 asciilifeform: imho the only possible arg against it is if you have e.g. 2 hands but 500 worth of process. but evidently jurov , trinque , et al had <= 2 hands worth
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-30#1890704 << only where it matters. human hands in, human hands out. within bot, go to town. even if the approach isn't perfect, it makes exploits a pain in the ass to monetize, so why bother. ☝︎
asciilifeform: slow zimbabwefication. ( with the diff that ~this~ zimbabwe has winter )
mircea_popescu: how the fuck they expect to make those pipes work is anyone's guess. "rubber", as fucking if.
mircea_popescu: truth of the matter is, natgas is actually ~quite abrasive~, esp in climates where it cools significantly.
asciilifeform: or when they switched from iron pipe to corrugated aluminum + rubber hose ( yes exactly like one sees on sovok kitchen stoves, but ~buried~ and km-length )
asciilifeform: 1 , not far from asciilifeform , used to have 3 concentric concertina fences ( dunno whether minefield b/w or not ) , then coupla yrs ago all but 1 removed , i suspect they got tired of painting 3
asciilifeform: or the pumping stations ( unmarked on maps, cuz 'strategic', but quite visible from street ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: leaks on erry other street intersection ( and for years at a time, folx call'em in, diggers dig, 3days later again leak )
asciilifeform: for bonus lulz, the gas infrastructure of these people (gringostan, not shoemaker's ro, i cannot comment re the latter) is a lul. not even to mention the fact that they pretend to also ~export~...
mircea_popescu: possibru it exists also in translation
asciilifeform: tho for somereason i thought i read it in an engl one
mircea_popescu: this shared search thing works quite well huh.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was digging for that 1 trilema piece where 'the housewife... waits until wolf's hour of night to cook the food, that's when gas pressure' but didn't in o(1) find
mircea_popescu: o check it out, jurov moving. i wonder where to ?
mircea_popescu: o look at that, us-istan reads just like 1989s romania.

BingoBoingo: Mega fence, mega dog, small orchard. Typical middle class qatari home.
BingoBoingo: One car, immobile. Several orcycles and scooters of which 1 or two function at any given time.
BingoBoingo: Nevermind that as latinos that can do international aviation with cedulas, apparently mom needs a passport. I suspect someone in the family is unhealthily attached to the 6 gar garage.
BingoBoingo: Sheltering in place at Mom's house with the dogs
asciilifeform: speaking of BingoBoingo's harems, whatever happened to that other one

mircea_popescu: clean the amateurs off a field, suddenly it becomes something a man could take an interest in and enjoy doing so.
asciilifeform: seals imho are a very interesting subj, ~after~ one subtracts the homeopathy and outright disinfo
mircea_popescu: there was a whole thing re seals at c2.
asciilifeform: after reflow, 'all the king's horses and all the king's men' cannot make the ball look exactly as prev.
asciilifeform: iirc we actually had a thread re solder-as-seals. (or possibly meat convo at c2?)
asciilifeform: there is indeed. can even get a3-sized film. but ordinary, rather than polaroidistic.
mircea_popescu: there's larger mouth film, they do panoramics for fitting dentures
asciilifeform: ( loox like a kind of opaque condom, with film in it. after exposing, you hand-massage the thing and it develops. )
asciilifeform: for some uses this actually suffices tho.
asciilifeform: i did obtain a crate of 'polaroid'-style self-developing films (and, i shit thee not, 'made in UAE') but they're tiny 35mm things. intended to put in mouth, for teeth.
mircea_popescu: well, once pizarro gets a buncha customers toyota might be a good investment.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the real bitch is that one is stuck doing old-fashioned b&w chemistry for each shot ( there are digital sensors, but they cost like toyota.. )
mircea_popescu: i thought video was the fave spot.
asciilifeform: will be interesting to find out, e.g., which 'this is a straight usb cable, honest' actually contain chips

mircea_popescu: do they ?
asciilifeform: if you set the kilovolt knob to the right spot.
