the grande
pete_dushenski: "In a prototype, aluminum was used
to make
the negatively-charged anode while graphite provided material for

the lulz of all
time. "he was impeached for not spending!!1"

trinque: I suppose he could send
the executive branch on extended vacation
trinque: had his father been elected,
the whole rest of
the govt would've obstructed any substantial changes he'd want

the same by 2012
trinque: pete_dushenski: it will be interesting
to watch what happens
there, if anything

the State Department budget by more
than
two-thirds, and cuts
the Food and Drug Administration budget
to limit government "intrusion into

mats: ascii_field:
there's a decent amount of work done with afl
to enable black box
testing
pete_dushenski: given
that
the sportier metal goes for $100k+, it's
the former qb of
the football
team buying it
pete_dushenski: well,
the ones who didn't are now buying
the cars
to reimagine
themselves as
the ones who did!
pete_dushenski: that makes
the vagina like an old man with a mid- or late-life crisis
pete_dushenski: there's no shortage of african gents here, ones crafty enough
to game
their way over
the border, none of whom seem
to be knocking up any girlfriends of mine
mircea_popescu: well, kinda how vagina works. whenever excited, it kinda goes back
to wherever it had fun last.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field you ever been in one of
those cars with memory seats ?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu
terribru for
the chinese? does chinese woman really desire random african suitor?
mircea_popescu: ascii_field
the whores
that go hoarse don't go back, no.
pete_dushenski: ascii_field every country's aid is intended
to come back
to 'right coffers'
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: do

mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski
terribru for
them. chinese women
that go black definitely won't go back.

they live on reservations with no locals permitted, iirc
pete_dushenski: china seems

mircea_popescu: then import as many african kids
to live within
the now empty nests
ascii_field: modern usa's 'aid' is about
the dough coming back
to
the right coffers, washed, yes
mircea_popescu: best
thing
that could happen
to
the us is force every citizen under 18
to live a year in africa.
mircea_popescu: except
the us is not particularly hierarchical, and it has no surplus of anything.
ascii_field: 'The war,
therefore if we judge it by
the standards of previous wars, is merely an imposture. It is like
the battles between certain ruminant animals whose horns are incapable of hurting one another. But

the longer you'll enjoy it."

the screen every 20 mins
to allow eyes
to relax

the brain
the most complex part, and
the circuitry
that drives vision
the most complex of
that. let it work rather
than
try
to be smarter
than it on fewer neurons.
mircea_popescu: if you're looking at much finer detail you push it in
too close and do all sorts of damage.
