ascii_field: mircea_popescu: military rations are good ?! << nope - very bad, but with minimal effort. like
the 'hiring shaman - hire cheapest'
theorem.
ascii_field: does not make for effective 'mens sana in corpore sano',
this.
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> nubbins`: if i did not have a full-time pet
to handle
the food problem, i would probably have
to survive on something like military rations. << Sprats come in can, RATIONS!!!
ascii_field: nubbins`: if i did not have a full-time pet
to handle
the food problem, i would probably have
to survive on something like military rations.
ascii_field: nubbins`: you are quite right,
that
the situation is very different in usa.
felipelalli: nubbins`: you said "don't worry, you're new" something like
that.
nubbins`: but i'm of
the opinion
that very few adult north americans have even
the faintest idea of how
to feed
themselves properly, let alone on a sensible budget
ascii_field: nubbins`: academic,
though. food is scarcely a
tenth of it
ascii_field: nubbins`: go
try eating, e.g., plankton for
the rest of your life
felipelalli: mircea_popescu:
thank you for your considerations, you're right. nubbins`
thank you for comprehend.
nubbins`: that said, i'm pretty sure a 15kg bag of rice doesn't cost much more
than a few shit sandwiches from mcd's anywhere in north america
nubbins`: <+ascii_field> (i do not consider eating genuine, vs. recycled food, a luxury. just as air on a space capsule is not a luxury, even if it costs what gold costs down on earth) <<< i don't fully buy into
the "it's cheaper
to eat shitty" mentality, but it's my understanding
that
the dynamics involved
therein are vastly different in your country
nubbins`: <+ascii_field> <mircea_popescu> and YET you protest
the hyena << so i had a quiet and physically clean upbringing.
this is who i am. i get
that it gives me a short life expectancy, yes. but jumping from cliffs doesn't grow wings, no. <<<
the sets of {co-inhabitants} and {dirtbags} don't have as complete an overlap as you'd
think
nubbins`: <+ascii_field> nubbins`: if i worked in a cubicle,
the last
thing i would do is buy a pogo and mess with it << what did you buy and play with instead? a nagant,
testing how it feels in
the mouth, as in mircea_popescu's 'dulap' story ? <<< not in so many words :P
ascii_field: that is,
the fact
that he did not stick 100%
to diddling
the machines under cover of dark
ascii_field: 'trust in meat' in
the
thread was 'what nailed lottery-man'
lobbes: even hermits must put some
trust in meat? Is not
the hermit, himself, meat?
ascii_field grants
that somewhere on
the far outskirts of
the retardation spectrum,
there lies
the land of 'there are no shills! finally someone is willing
to be my -phriend!- 111!!111 stop insulting my -phriendz-!!!11' but has not, fortunately, gone
there.
ascii_field: the 'up-side' - perhaps
the only one - of being a hermit monster is
that
the
tools built for nailing
the 'eusocial' don't work on you. i.e. you negrate a usg shill in your mind at most forty seconds after initial contact
ascii_field: the mistake of each,
to
the extent
the stories publicly known are even factual, is 'dunning-kruger'-ing
their reach far past
their grasp.
ascii_field: does not so much matter
that one 'knew how
to fly' and other - did not
ascii_field: Chillum: How can people be so clever yet make such dumb mistakes << autists like ulbricht/dpr get nailed by
trusting in meat. 'eusocial' folks like mr lottery -also- get nailed by
trusting in meat. just like when an airplane falls, pilots and passengers get same fate
ascii_field wonders how many years of jail are given for predicting
the output of a legit, un-pwned winblows rng in lottery
ascii_field: <Chillum> his hostile code should have sat dormant for 6 months,
then someone with no obvious connection
to him should have got
the
ticket << i suppose
this is when nubbins` says 'learn
the dark marketz, anyone can!' and mircea_popescu
tells us about
the superiority of human dark org vs relying on machines
mircea_popescu: "man
that didn't shoot
the cop had a gun! neighbours saw it!"
mircea_popescu: <Chillum> How can people be so clever yet make such dumb mistakes << whole
thing reads
to me more like a case of baxies
than anything legitimately prosecutable.
mircea_popescu: <mats> warehouse of computer antiques sounds like a lot of luxuries
to me. << anything sounds like a luxury
to someone somewhere!
ascii_field: when corrupt orc from gaggle of equally-corrupt similar orcs is charged with 'corruption' - what is
the reason, always and invariably ?
Chillum: his hostile code should have sat dormant for 6 months,
then someone with no obvious connection
to him should have got
the
ticket
Chillum: why did he not get an accomplice
to buy
the
ticket
ascii_field: 'The former security director "was 'obsessed' with root kits, a
type of computer program
that can be installed quickly, set
to do just about anything, and
then self-destruct without a
trace," prosecutors wrote.
They went on
to say a witness would
testify at
trial
that
Tipton
told him before December 2010
that he had a self-destructing rootkit.' << 'hands off
the specialist
toolz, plebe'
mats: so some folks have
time
to hunt
the man
that did
the deed
adlai: "live fast, die young, leave a good-looking corpse" says nothing about
the absence of respirators for
the autopsy
team
adlai: why would
the smell bother you?
mats: i prefer
to live with other humans.
that way,
they can find my corpse before
the smell of decay sets in. hopefully.
ascii_field: admittedly i no longer have
the 'nazi submarine' atmosphere of
the old flat (bulkheads in every conceivable space, objects hanging
to fill every gap, etc.)
ascii_field: and my new digs aren't quite big enough
to make any difference space-wise. i moved
to a free-standing building mainly
to get further away from other human beings
ascii_field: mats: i lived in a flat quite like (from what i can
tell) yours, for most of a decade.
mats: in any event -- i'm envious. my living space is
too small
to accommodate much more
than what i could fit in a hatchback
ascii_field: mats: 'warehouse' is a bit of exaggeration.
the whole lot would (and did, when i moved) fit in a small van.
mats: warehouse of computer antiques sounds like a lot of luxuries
to me.
ascii_field: nubbins`:
the only
thing
that'll make alf walk away is alf << nubbins` would probably be rather surprised
to learn
that - other
than
the physical separation from wildlife (e.g., nubbins`'s roommate) - i have very few luxuries
adlai: mircea_popescu: so are
the average price diamonds in mpex
thumbnails intentionally so dark as
to cause
the bewildered visitor
to question his eyesight or sanity, until he confirms
that
they are in fact of different hue?
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: but do you know it is in fact a biological answer << after a certain amount of exposure, and getting weaker rather
than stronger, one leans
that - if
there was an age where having one's legs pulled on, would have lengthened
them -
that age is past
adlai: oh, it's sporadic: reloading
the page now has "fixed" it
adlai has seen
this often on many sites, only now commented about it
adlai: the common cold of
the information age
pete_dushenski: adlai: i am actually, and now i have no idea if
this is something
to be addressed, and if so, how.
pete_dushenski: mats: ascii_field
this is
the city of edmonton's "we improved our asphalt
technologee in
the 1990s but it
turned out
to last 1/4 as long as
the stuff from
the 1960s"
ascii_field: mats: 'the chocolate ratio went up
to 25 grams from
the old 50'
ascii_field: i.e.,
the question may well have a biological answer, but knowing it does me little good.
adlai: pete_dushenski: why does
the
http response never
terminate? it's a .txt...
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: but
to answer question, my meatspace idiocy filter is simply not as strong as
the conceptual one.
to ask 'why' is like asking why my legs are not as long as mircea_popescu's
ascii_field: because can be zoologist
to
text on a screen
mircea_popescu: just observing
that
the writing it produces doesn't seem
to bother as much ? how come ?
ascii_field: <mircea_popescu> and YET you protest
the hyena << so i had a quiet and physically clean upbringing.
this is who i am. i get
that it gives me a short life expectancy, yes. but jumping from cliffs doesn't grow wings, no.
adlai: it's not in xach's
thingy?
ascii_field: (naggum's is
the part on
the annoying black background colour)
ascii_field: ^ somebody cache
this before censored entirely?
ascii_field: adlai:anthem is precisely
the correct dose of ayn rand for a healthy brain << i will admit
to having read pretty much all of rand
mircea_popescu: they get
together and squeal, it's fucking incredible.
that particular 16 yo "pls fuck me" unconscious
thing.
ascii_field: and enduring hyenas by choice, because you're into keeping zoo, or culturing fleas, etc. is rather different from financially forcible
tour of duty in hyena cage
mircea_popescu: ascii_field 100 metres is
tough. within 100 metres of me
there's like 3 different
theatres.
ascii_field: and
this ^ is not a
toy, it is as essential as clothes
to me.
adlai is being
told
to stop dicking around on IRC?
ascii_field: nubbins`: maybe once you get enough
toys it'll be a fair
trade << all
the
toys i buy put
together are dwarfed by
the cost of living like a human being (e.g., not having rabid hyenas in my home, nor within 100 metres, etc.)
pete_dushenski: adlai: "must refrain from random
things
to hone your discipline" isn't
the worst approach in
the world
mircea_popescu: incidentally... i find it kinda lulzy
that arabs etc don't go all bear. but...
adlai: maybe samson without
the dreads
ascii_field: 'galt' without
the cloaking device is like superman without
the cape
adlai: in basic
training, when random MREs had loof,
the sergeant gave us
this big lecture about how it'd been "removed from
the war-waging bible" (literal
translation), and we'd probably never see it again
ascii_field: 'Going Galt' << somehow everybody forgets
that
the character in
the book had a fucking -invisibility machine- hiding his fort
pete_dushenski: i recently learned
that ostrich and 'hares' (presumably rabbits
too?) are also not kosher
mod6: funkenstein_:
thanks for
the info.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i srsly do not see ANY merit
to
this "location" bs << one of us is carrying suitcase of $gadgets
to
the other.
that's -location-, l0l.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: it's
the lack of cud chewing, not
the hooves
that makes pigs unkosher
