mircea_popescu: fantozzi once famously went shopping brought his shit back home in an excavator, with a fleet of dozen cabs following. cuz rich!

mircea_popescu: dude... i went into the lot, asked for the boss, they pointed me to the office-latrine, i was like "i want an excavator" he was like "50 a day" "i was like here" then he pointed out the window to machinery.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1731030 << don't be silly, renting excavator is like 50 bux a day, no questions asked. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: and this is generally a point -- if you want quality sex work done, you bring your own whores. and so following.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1731027 << same exact http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1731342 as before -- if you own a construction crew, yes. otherwise, no. ☝︎☝︎

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform most "independent" vagabonds with delusions of being students live on 2-300 a month you realise.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you can prolly have something like a detached suburban house or a girl's townhouse (3 rooms, central) for three figs np.

mircea_popescu: (similar to how exams, or sentences work -- you're more than welcome to appeal, but you can end up with a worse outcome! you didn't like your 6, here's a 4. you didn't like the 5 years, here's 7.)

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1731021 << not at all ; for one thing you take a 3 or 5 year lease ; this works as an option -- you can stay or leave, they can;'t kick you out. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: but you can have the bare-concrete matchbox flats, those are a nightmare in terms of heat efficiency. which generally why cheap.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform like it sure, but still gotta heat. iirc a reasonably modern setup took me back something like $1 / cubicmeter-year.

mircea_popescu: and timisoara, technically is mediteranean climate, has figs. except one year there it had a winter of pure doom, people died in teh streets etc.

mircea_popescu: your heating costs will typically outpace it by two degrees of magnitude (romania does get bitter winters, a la boston not a la wash dc)

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1731019 << i never paid anything notable in property tax, even for whole buildings. typically it's the last in a sorted list of property bills, under even de-snowing services and such. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: for that matter, when's the last time yo usaw anyone get out of the car with a tire iron in hand ?

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730980 << you overestimate people's grit. most people who own a building imagine their biosack's "worth a lot more" than that, will not deign to risk it over such a piddly item as a sackful of dough. WHAT IF HE BITES BACK!?!?!?! ☝︎

mircea_popescu: full example : 1. you find dood wants to buy btc ; 2. you pre-arrange time, place, values involved ; 3. you register alf-trade-0001 nick ; 4. you register a key for it with deedbot ; 5. you !!pay sum to it ; 6. you meet buyer, with that thing's key ; 7. pay or not pay, but in any case.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730969 << this makes no sense, does it ? you... call the operator to authorize a pre-arranged payment. way this has worked since days of fugger. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: they call spawners "whales" for a reason you know.

mircea_popescu: correct solution is to just use the spawning pool, "always a woman or two in there, and a buncha infants".

mircea_popescu: well there's no such thing as standard acquarium. but sure, keep the temperature reasonable, an hour or two at a stretch, can be multiple passes per day.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730817 << never a good idea to entertain the byproduct of uppity fathers. he wants her, he can appassionata all over her ass. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730799 << been doing a lot of that have you ? ☝︎

mircea_popescu: in a proper language, that is.

mircea_popescu: "oh, i must have a different "for" loop depending if it's long or short"

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform gimme a break. the issue here is that notation MUST BE PHONETIC. never grammatical.

mircea_popescu: here : http://trilema.com/2011/grafia-istorica-a-limbii-romane/

mircea_popescu: (this is a very specific thing, watch some 60s/70s nazisploitations, get the "german" as spoken by cheap italian meat)

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform modern ru sounds like tinto brass paid a bunch of whores from the periphery of rome to read phonetic notation of ivan's testament, yes.

mircea_popescu: very. except they got A, instead of O and O, instead of U and assorted idiocies.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform nfi why they hallucinated a need for 32 letters to write down a ~mostly latin sounding language. or w/e, if you prefer, very-soft-slavic.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730589 << this is actually a common ... "mistake" let's say. add to the "hungarian languages -> jew / romanian commerce -> anything but" also the "if you meet a german in colonial posessions, it;s a pole." ☝︎

mircea_popescu: the only fucking problem is that the young uns tend to listen to them as if they were people, by virtue of the indiscriminate cluelessness of youth -- they'd listen to a puppy if it could speak, on the basis of it having snuggled with them.

mircea_popescu: anyway, without a majority of mule there;d be no young hussies next year period.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ur- was coopted in artspeech to denote a typical or originating example, like trilema is the ur-blog and rome the ur-usg.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah, it means a (nominally) female result of the procreation of donkey inside mare.

mircea_popescu: mula is romanian for a dumb female. used in trilema to denote cazalla's wife, ie a female that is a) aged herself out of the sexual market with b) nothing to show for it who c) nevertheless clings to the theory she has a say in how her life plays and d) has constructed an elaborate ideological infrastructure to accomodate the foregoingt nonsense (generally, a retelling of pantsuitism) alongside e) a social group of her exact
