mod6: ok im gonna shutdown
this aws instance.
mod6: danielpbarron: and yah, im pulling blocks, need -nodnsseed
though
danielpbarron: i should unplug
the serial connector
though right?
nubbins`: i just sent
the liquidators a message, we'll see
nubbins`: people are still
talking about
the ussr 8)
danielpbarron: wow
that
thing went for 400 ??
that's probably what it cost
to ship
them
danielpbarron: not with
the sudden surge of people buying "crates" of
them
nubbins`: probably no huge incentive for
them
to
decimation: the impressive
thing really is
that
the knowledgeable winemaker can bring out so many different flavors with just grapes, yeast,
toasted oak, and
time
decimation: cabernet sauvignon (one of
the bordeaux grapes) often has a
tobacco flavor for instance
mircea_popescu: srsly, vinegar, alcohol and sulphur dioxide in
the same box ?
decimation: bourdeaux has been overpriced by chinese bezzlars, but it is also legitimately fine
tasting
decimation: heh. of course many of
those french vineyards were decimated by
the phylloxera plague
mircea_popescu: honestly, i wouldn't expect exceptional out of vineyards
that aren;t even 500 years old.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, nubbins`. it'd be a lot better if
the
tit knew it's caged.
nubbins`: they make you go first, before you owe
the money
BingoBoingo: USia, seriously messed up in
the
things people expect, legally
nubbins`: building cross-compile
toolchain is slo-o-o-o-o-o-ow
mircea_popescu: you're not required
to communicate via phone are you ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo or you could just pipe awk
through sed << Hard on
the phone.
BingoBoingo: But
the shavers strategy seems
to be only notable in
the sense he pulled off a mega fraud in a space which at
the
time was especially gullible and vulnerable
to mega fraud.
decimation: once had an excellent german
trockenbeernauslese for $50 and it was worth every penny
decimation: re: wine < yeah my perception is
that > $10-15 is generally good. more expensive wines are also good, but
there are loads of pretenders
trying
to get by on geography
BingoBoingo: Consider
the example of a US bankruptcy case. You can cheaply and easily represent yourself if indigent, however you have
to handle communications with all of
the debtors, or... You scrape
together enough
to retain an attorney who has a process for handling
that annoyance and also retain your sanity.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Oh my strategy? I retain lawyers because it forces opposition
to route annoying phone calls
through attorney
mircea_popescu: best way
to lose an eye is shoot shotguns at armored
targets.
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2015 02:40:21; PeterL: sounds like a great new sport, like skeet shooting, but
the
target can move in any direction, just need
to make a drone
that is either so cheap it's disposable or which can withstand shotgun hits
mircea_popescu: you basing yourself on
the
theory usg->judge will != usg->da ?
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo but
the usg (through usg->da) has already evaluated
that
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2015 02:38:56; BingoBoingo: decimation: Depends on what you are armed with. Shooting with shotgun fine. Proper rifle... Hard
to
tell when/where bullet is coming down after impact.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu> how exactly is
this strat supposed
to go : i couldn't make
the "preponderence of evidence" standard but i'll make
the "absolute proof" ? <<
That or make preponderance of evidence standard use as proof in criminal case
mircea_popescu: "The average
tip amount across all platforms is has fallen
to ~$0.91, while
the average
tip amount on reddit is only ~$0.37… we can do better!"
mircea_popescu: how exactly is
this strat supposed
to go : i couldn't make
the "preponderence of evidence" standard but i'll make
the "absolute proof" ?
BingoBoingo: Then again
the major reason
to retain an attorney in
the us is
to avoid spam
mircea_popescu: and preserved deliberately -
to fuck up... well, basically, him.
mircea_popescu: someone needs
to
tell him
this civil-criminal
thing is as close as it gets
to double jeopardy in
the us
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it occurs
to me,
that shavers character is like out of a novel. first he gets a civil supoena
that he doens't ignore.
then he self represents. and doesn't do homework.
then he loses
the suit. civil suit. he loses it.
then he pleads not guilty in criminal proceedings.
assbot: Logged on 26-03-2015 02:34:59; assbot: Michigan legislation would make using drones
to hunt or harass hunters a crime ... (
