mircea_popescu: anyway i should prolly publish
the bw graph for
the week lol. once it came back online it spent a few hours at 2MB/s
assbot: Logged on 15-04-2015 00:51:45; williamdunne: mircea, you said I should ask as
to why options are no longer issued on MPEX when
trilema is back up
assbot: Logged on 15-04-2015 00:42:57; mats: i loled at
the use of
the Gadsden flag in
that blog post
BingoBoingo: French also has become kind of a fail language.
Too Anglicized last century
adlai: this is what israel's stoners
turned out, in isolation
adlai: video is kinda garbage
though
BingoBoingo: Just
though
think of
the awesome stoner comedies
the Moses bush could have inspired if
the Dutch and Jews were neighbors
adlai: what does
the footstool kingdom have
to do with
the price of eggs in afghanistan
BingoBoingo: Not
to mention
the whole part where Canaan is near
the center of
the former Ottman empire ought
to make
the area less desirable... Especially after what happened
to
the Armenians which was still rather recent...
adlai: "The desalinated water will go south
to (the Jordanian
town of) Aqaba, while salt water will be pumped
to
the Dead Sea,"
adlai: oh
there are plans now
BingoBoingo: adlai: Isn't
the dead sea at historic low levels? Canaan is just as much shitty desert as California except it's been abused much longer.
adlai isn't sure esperanto meets any definition of "very good" beyond "has been force-taught
to a few kids"
adlai: because of all
the milk and honey
adlai: the
trouble is
that
the same
troublemakers who made
trouble, would've made it anyways, even if offered japan along with prussia
BingoBoingo: adlai: Nah
the Prussians could suffer in Austria. Austrians birthed
the Fuher anyways
BingoBoingo imagines alt-Cold War
tempered by Franco-Russian anti-semitism
adlai: well
that would've sucked for all
the prussians, although i guess
they could've been deported
to palestine, or uganda
☟︎ BingoBoingo also
thinks Prussia should have been surrendered as reparations for
the purposes of Establishing a Jewish state after WWII
adlai: hebrew is an interesting language... quite regular, quite abstract. basically what you'd expect of a [re]constructed language
that gets developed almost exclusively by either military slang or
theological discourse
BingoBoingo: English isn't
the worst
though. I'm pretty sure modern Hebrew has all of
the historical legitimacy of lojban
BingoBoingo: Ah, yeah. Only way
to get collocations is reading fiction and listening
to speakers
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: Well, most of
the useful subset of English is
the
technical/business subset. Beyond
that
the barrister's subset of Englis is useful.
felipelalli: BingoBoingo:
True! Most of my reading is
technical stuff, because I am a developer and I am
totally focused in it now, learning and developing systems. But it is
totally different
than
the "natural language". I lived 1 year in Australia, it helped me a lot, but I don't feel very comfortable yet.
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: Well,
the second best way
to learn a language is reading stuff.
felipelalli: thanks BingoBoingo! I'd like
to read more
the logs, it is my
TODO list, I just can't priorize
too much it in
this moment of my life. Also my English is not good as I wish so it is a little hard
to me understand everything in full and because
that I became a little hesitant
to participate.
BingoBoingo: felipelalli: Congrats, you've been hanging around long enough
to make it
to
the nearly "useful confusion" stage
BingoBoingo might consider spending more
time in
the United States
to do law school and become a "Doing it doesn't mean you're guilty" lawyer
williamdunne: The redditards were moaning about how much of
their stolen money was going
to be wasted on new appeal cases because of it
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: It would also be interesting
to read your counter-complaint - I can only imagine it follows along
the lines of your correspondence with
the SEC, but with a few more insults
thrown in for good measure
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: Don't
take my word,
trilema's up dig for
the posts
williamdunne: BingoBoingo:
Thanks Bingo. I'd love
to see
them in
the future
BingoBoingo: williamdunne: It's already in
there in
the early 2014 (February, March?) statements
williamdunne: mircea, you said I should ask as
to why options are no longer issued on MPEX when
trilema is back up
☟︎ funkenstein_: that history of pron is fabulous.. welcome back
trilema :D
mats: i loled at
the use of
the Gadsden flag in
that blog post
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform did you get airline
ticket scammed or what's
the idea ?
danielpbarron: What's known as "Internet Brigading" -
the situation where a lot of people with no money and no practical importance complain loudly, as if anyone cares what
the stupid poor say or
think on any
topic. << I had
this happen
to me over a particularly offensive
tweet
that got featured on some blog
BingoBoingo: Maybe email Orlov and see if you can borrow
the
Tu-95 in
the embassy basement
BingoBoingo: Not yet. I'll drink a bit, come up with some ideas, and see if any ideas survive
the hangover
tomorrow afternoon.
BingoBoingo: Could be useful for hosting a qntra BTC price index. I'm
thinking a static page <body><h1>$5000/BTC</h1></body>
BingoBoingo: But I don't
think Meatspace Vegas managed
to elude
the USG's money
tracking slime mold
mircea_popescu: "Today, it's all gone. You get a whale show up with four million in a suitcase, and some
twenty-five-year-old hotel school kid is gonna want his Social Security Number."
mircea_popescu: amusingly enough
the derps should even know who i am, but of course nobody keeps any sort of
track of
their customers
these days.
jurov: lol
TheNewDeal. what a statement.
adlai: pawning may be a better
term

ascii_field did not
think. was mostly occupied with mining one last bucket of salt before blasting off
ascii_field: you know,
the computer mircea_popescu uses
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i had no idea
there was restorepkg for a «Сетунь» !
mircea_popescu: when restorepkg
takes longer
to process
than wget
takes
to download one can't complain.
adlai: bird landed on safety glass, but
too hard for survival
assbot: Ascent successful. Dragon enroute
to Space Station. Rocket landed on droneship, but
too hard for survival.
hanbot: pretty good safety glass
then.
adlai: had
the glass not been
there, i guess
tehy'd have been required
to either fight or mate
adlai: there was glass between
them,
the other guy was sitting in
the outside patio of a cafe... and
they just stared at eachother until my friend gave up
adlai: (you lose if you're
the first
to break eye contact)
adlai: this was all fun and games until he met somebody else who appeared
to be playing
the same game
adlai: actually
there's
this game a friend of mine "invented", where you must maintain eye contact whenever it is accidentally (or not) made with a stranger
ascii_field: eye contact << because when you make eye contact, folks shoot lasers from
their eyes into yours
mats: i can't even imagine
the vast number of neck, back, and general injuries from poor posture
the world will see in a decade
lobbes: good
time
to catch up on
the logs, eh
lobbes: to be fair, I am quite guilty of
this. Either
that or stare frantically around
the room while
trying not
to make eye contact with anyone
chetty: so standing in a line I was noticing all
the people doing whatever on cellphones, all I could
think was "For
this we evolved opposable
thumbs?"
