asciilifeform: in mouth of redditus, possibly aint even such a thing as 'stable nucleus'
asciilifeform: ( to run w/ the model -- homeric era folx, 'well-balanced', get a load of red hot 'sea men' pirate spoodge right up arse, and new 'heavier' lang forms, then proceeds to 'lazy dogs' leprosy-shed pieces, then... rinse, repeat )
mp_en_viaje: t get, "gentleman and scholar". even if he;'s a waiter
mp_en_viaje: classical greek and to a large degree republican latin appear so dignified because the balance's good. modern italian similarly, have you heard a civilised older male speak italian ? it instantly connotes all the things anglos want and can
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: also from getting a foreign alphabet welded to it , kazah-style, and the users lacking the spark of life to fucking fix it
mp_en_viaje: "these people sound like retarded preschoolers with a lisp"
mp_en_viaje: a "simpler" language is not in fact simpler.
asciilifeform: where there aint a chingis han to come an' take a hammer to'em
asciilifeform: i was gonna share a crackpot model of the item but mp_en_viaje already hinted that he has same 1
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-29 11:17:57 asciilifeform: has been slowly eating greeks for a while, and the (sovok) texts take special care to rub this in, and asciilifeform finds interesting
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-29#1938894 << the way to gain such is the same way as gaining a lot of new children. if the russians stayed in berlin -- but for reals, not just one quickie rape passing throiugh, then modern eastern german'd conceivably have been as sluttily hybridized as phoenician-dri
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, what's the problem with having a consonant equivalent upsilon ?
asciilifeform: ( for folx who aint archaeologists -- 'ѣ' ended up turned into 100% 'е', but at one pt was a distinctly elongated æː )
snsabot: Logged on 2018-01-07 09:46:50 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-07#1766211 << the classical j00z have the 'past is moar important' jumpers set to max: iirc they have a 'the further we get from moses, the moar of god-given wisdom is lost', i.e. nonrenewable resource.
asciilifeform has been slowly eating greeks for a while, and the (sovok) texts take special care to rub this in, and asciilifeform finds interesting
asciilifeform: this is btw a long-standing q in asciilifeform's head -- wai is it that lang knobs only ever seem to ~fall off~ in archaeologically-visible period. almost as if they were only formed in 'supernovae' of some sort, and then afterwards only decay
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-29 02:21:18 mp_en_viaje: modern greek "no longer needs" the glottal stop h, nor does it use double-l's for anything, it's "progressed past that, see". sounds like lazy dogs talking, also, but that's ok -- everyone's a dog anyway rite ?
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-29#1938854 << and 'pre-classical' greeks had the digamma... and the classical folx already had a silent iota in various dipthongs, previously voiced per archaeologists. also 'lazy dog' ? ( where lived the non-lazy dog, in stone age ? )
asciilifeform observes that 9 times outta 10 this is what 'oh hey there's a library knob for this?' leads to...
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-29#1938845 << ty mp_en_viaje , found culprit: a built-in idjicy in the pythonism that asciilifeform used to implement doublequotes. i'ma have to rewrite that mechanism.
mp_en_viaje: occasional gems in the celentano vein (played straight, too!), like "The past year has been a year of failures for me. I failed to persuade any of my old friends about any of my strongly held beliefs concerning morality, politics, and economics. Not only did I fail to persuade them, I failed to maintain them as friends." ; otherwise apparently likes cha
mp_en_viaje: a no, actuaslly, it IS fracture. just cut up in two footnotes.
mp_en_viaje: there's the two liner above linked ; there's another one line in a discussion of another film. but i clearly remember taking the time to discuss this over paragraphs, i just don't remember where the fuck
mp_en_viaje: what they do, "complex" and "inexplicable" as they might like to pretend it, nevertheless can be very well predicted on a decerebrated read of the medieval catholics. basically calvin was the original hollywood, writting really stupid yet simple stories for a certain kind of [http://trilema.com/2019/fracture/#footnote_1_
BingoBoingo: Buck fellow was a good Calvinist, and surprisingly active for a pre-ordained
mp_en_viaje: a treasure trove of prescriped goodness nobody inexplciably seems to envy him. so what is there to write about ?
mp_en_viaje: he fucked a buncha crackwhores or w/e it is he did, he "had experiences". that's the important metaphisical, yes ? experiences ? having experienced ?
mp_en_viaje: modern greek "no longer needs" the glottal stop h, nor does it use double-l's for anything, it's "progressed past that, see". sounds like lazy dogs talking, also, but that's ok -- everyone's a dog anyway rite ?
mp_en_viaje: nope. are you fucking kiddiong me, epic lulz like "uaw investigation" revolve around piddly ~million~ spent on personal luxuries. what the fuck, a mn worth of luxuries, really ? so like... a bathroom ?
feedbot: http://trilema.com/2019/a-services-eco-nomy/ << Trilema -- A services eco-nomy
spyked: in other other news, /me has caught a minor cold and will administer some "leacuri babesti" to take care of himself. bbl
spyked: if anyone wants to remove this or the cl-ppcre crap, will happily sign vpatch; thing was written in my "CL childhood" years, so it comes with quite a bit of kludge
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-27 15:26:42 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-27#1938420 << spyked this is pretty interesting. is that a coupla 100kB of base64'd fontisms in there ? ( and, apparently buncha perl-genned ???! in 1 of the cl libs ?! )
BingoBoingo: I have a strong suspicion if the investigation move to poking around the interior of listed structures the project could have turned into strictly evaluating for the lot footprints as the tower builders do
mp_en_viaje: i mean, even if someone gave you a free chevy vega -- it still wouldn't make economic sense to try and run it
mp_en_viaje: in short : not a single one of the items there look to me like something that'd be acceptable to carry on books even if given freely ; if yo uowned them i'd insist you sell them.
mp_en_viaje: #6 is again #3, early 1900s, possibly good enough to stand, but possibly terribad, will have to drill a wall to see wtf is even in there
mp_en_viaje: 3rd item lacks entirely outside shots, which makes me suspect it's in a building that'd have been bombed in ww2, except it wasn't in active war theatre.
mp_en_viaje: 2nd item i don't even know what to make of. seems someone literally poured some concrete, made a sort of post-wood outhouse. i dunno how it is even a house at all.
mp_en_viaje: i mean taking the list, right ? 1st item is literally a ruin ; that item has central wall damage from uncontrolled water infiltration. it would be condemned in europe.
mp_en_viaje: but the cost to own / cost to carry still a factor of 2 over what it coudl/should be with saner autoclaved cellular concrete filler and etcetera. whole poured concrete walls are for you know, river dams and things, wtf, heating that, preventing water seepage, it's a bundle.
mp_en_viaje: now if yo ucombine a b and c you get a factor of about 10, by my lights.
mp_en_viaje: the salient points : a) half the prices ; b) three times the area ; c) one fifth or less the age. i expect ro 2000s construction, for all its warts, is still infinitely better than ~1970s uy construction technology
BingoBoingo: One nearby property I'd been watching since arrival finally sold after a flurry of listings once the price hit ~160,000USD. When I arrived it was listed around 200k. It had my attention for being a two bedroom house on an excellent corner with attached small commercial premises suitable for shingle hanging. Even after selling and becoming inhabited is still painted as a japanese restaurant.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-27 17:52:50 mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, very nice work ; but this seems untenable on the face. i mean, even the san francisco "premium" bezzleworld's been losing 2-3-5% a year, each year, since 2015 or so. and 2s and 3s ealirer, 5s and above these days, 2019 may well close more like 7%
BingoBoingo: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-27#1938480 << This is what I was expecting. I regret not taking better notes up till now on the history of advertised prices, but there appears to be a steady march downwards. I publish a selection of sample properties again in three or six months.
mp_en_viaje: it makes a huge difference this, between being the 70yo who walks to the bar and the 70yo who can't leave the house.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-26 19:17:45 BingoBoingo: Before investigating transit times it had probably been a good three months since I'd been inside a vehicle. Present tranportation costs consist of food calories above basal metabolic rate and a few cents a day in shoe/boot depreciation.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-26#1938406 << in positive news, this is possibly the best thing for a human. each year with >500 miles on the odometer under age 50 adds 6 months of ~mobile~ life after age 70.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-26 19:02:08 BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: As of 2013 through a bilateral treaty the shelter part of the arrangement went out. From where I'm sitting it is hard to tell which way the Argentine winds will push
asciilifeform: very easy for zoologist to laff at wasp, when he's a 'k' shaved ape
mp_en_viaje: how do you prove a number's not random anyway ?
mp_en_viaje: and if you cut those, it doesn't eg, drag by a leg.
asciilifeform: iirc sphex actually has a 'while(1) { ...' in him
mp_en_viaje: to be a shithead, however, must do enough.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i recall the spiders. wasn't necessarily a sphex tho, there are other wasps that 'smarter' and will throw exception and stop looking for the caterpillar
mp_en_viaje: anyway. yes all living things do a certain amount of "but it must". all livign things do a certain amiunt of excretion, also.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-25 21:52:01 mircea_popescu: for this reason any imanentization (ie, mapping of concepts into reality) will revolve around a "paradigm" / wilful blindness of some kind. "how could i not think of that" is always lulzy -- if you thought of everything your head would explode. and that's a literalism : if you somehow fit all states of its own emptiness into a glass it'd go boom.
mp_en_viaje: pretty sure i actually had a spex on trilema, had a nest fulla spiders
asciilifeform: 'i'ma quit my job an' work as a wolf instead, will grow teeth as i practice' 'write back, say how it goes'
mp_en_viaje: all it does is it makes a pleb.
mp_en_viaje: and it's a most informative and productive line of inquiry. there's a REASON the pleb projects choice upon those, and disavows his patently idiotic applcation of entirely imagined choice, and so on.
mp_en_viaje: not like it in the end matters, unless/until pugachev shows up demanding a rating.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: this is a+++ model of 'america great again'(tm)(r) lulzcows aha
mp_en_viaje: "how to make it like before" "fukctards, what you're feeling is the portuguese getting a trade empire going FIVE CENTURIES AGO"
mp_en_viaje: i dunno, to me he seems just a figurehead / sacrificial goat of a bunch ofretards looking for the main switch
asciilifeform: but afaik d00d only cosmetically 'pretender', really -- a sort of 'mongol invader'
mp_en_viaje: admittedly i am not a master of medeival rus'
mp_en_viaje: let's take a mental experiment for a moment.
mp_en_viaje: in my read, the pretender "army" / peasant horde was a #metoo movement. they were the idiots.
asciilifeform: ( then famine and suddenly you have a 800k man pugachev army 'outta nowhere!111' )
mp_en_viaje: there's even a trilema piece re this i'm kinda too lazy to dig out
mp_en_viaje: of course the asswipe then disavows it. THEN disavows it. and even pretends like the then is "instantly". but it ain't fucking isntantly, there's a space. first he lies, then he disavows.
asciilifeform: 'kulak' story is moar usually 'hey the derps keep showing up to borrow money, what, i shouldn't , why exactly? they wanna buy me a 5th horse, why not let'em'
mp_en_viaje: http://trilema.com/2016/honor-societies-vs-respect-societies-or-how-the-disaster-of-commons-sunk-the-western-world/ hides it, because when it's cheaper to make a thing than to steal the thing nobody can be arsed. but a thing hidden's not a thing disappeared.
mp_en_viaje: imo the distinction's very vividly made in a clockwork orange. give brigand nude princess, give farm cuck nude princess. one of the cases will result in pregnant princess.
mp_en_viaje: the whole idea was that livestock being worthless, moving it across the land was just a waste of fuel, so don't get the indiana livestock working on your farm in alabama.
mp_en_viaje: gimme a break.
asciilifeform: i dunno re e.g. germanies, but in ru there were catchers a la alabama etc
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, what the fuck konzentrabullshit, nobody ever gave a shit.
asciilifeform: i dunno that d00d who picks up a spear and decides 'go out with a bang' when starving, is necessarily 'idiot'
asciilifeform: the ru variant seems a++ until remember that erry rebellion (pugachev's being only the most expensive to kill, hence prominently remembered) insta-vacuumed up massive army of disgruntled meat robot
mp_en_viaje: ie, "not sellable" because statutorily worthless. a very wise tack.
mp_en_viaje: very much a "sexy project" problem.
mp_en_viaje: killed like 2/3 of the workforce ; as a result the fucktarded peons started agitating about how tyhey should get to choose where to work, get more wages etc
mp_en_viaje: it's a dating app.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, if he's dumb enough to do that, he'll be dumb enough to get her a ring on laywaya too
mp_en_viaje: spend same ~5 bux on a 3 hour campari, except doesn't have to get fat ass off couch. sits in car.
mp_en_viaje: it delivers a "young dude with a car" at their door. which is what the orc female dream is anyway. now they don't have to go to club.
mp_en_viaje: but whatever, this is a point experimentally estgablished during the fucking plague, a good seven centuries ago : permitting the plebs to contribute in ANY WAY to the formation of the price of their own labour destroys the economy
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: dunno re orcistans, but over here they ask you to type the addr into a pnojetron and then blindly go where it points.
mp_en_viaje: it pains me to say it, but it's a fact : cabs aren't really a thing anymore. uber-stupid now.
mp_en_viaje: turks got a cooler country than germans now.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-26#1938387 << HUGe fucking problem. cabs have pretty much died as a functional human activity.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: pretty neat, always wanted to see a mp_en_viaje reportage of iran & co
mp_en_viaje: and, literally, the sort of prices they quote will get you a much nicer thing in kew gardens or w/e.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, very nice work ; but this seems untenable on the face. i mean, even the san francisco "premium" bezzleworld's been losing 2-3-5% a year, each year, since 2015 or so. and 2s and 3s ealirer, 5s and above these days, 2019 may well close more like 7%
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, ikr ? literally, if you're willing to pay 20-30 a sqft you get to pick.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-26 18:55:50 BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The widely reported years ago on numerous blogs conventional wisdom is that everything is for sale and ~40-60 percent negotiated off the asking prices was a common practice. This needs to be investigated if moving forward.
mp_en_viaje: with the taxi once hitting a high speed near 30 km/h << fucking makes my skin crawl. the car AVERAGED like 110
