mircea_popescu: cazalla omfg what is
this,
the sin of going into places ?
cazalla: my missus
tries
the same shit.. oh i can't remember
chetty: ever been
to a costco MP?
cazalla: and
then you fkn
tell me if u get
this shit at costco
mircea_popescu: "shop for food where people who look like you want
to look shop for food"
cazalla: and
they sure as fuck are not spending good money on good food
cazalla: the only people i see waddling into
the costco here at fat asses
cazalla: then
they can pay me
to experiement
mircea_popescu: i used your deli model in
the us, and
the cash & carry in ro. it all depends on
the place really.
mircea_popescu: this is exactly
the sort of doubt fit for an experiment.
cazalla: i can't imagine for a second
that even if costco had
this sorta food down under,
that it would actually be cheaper or better quality
cazalla: we got salmon growing down
tasmania
mircea_popescu: the stuff
that's usually called "colonials" ?
the stuff
that has
to be impoirted 5000 miles away ?
mircea_popescu: cazalla ok, meat comes from butcher, produce from grocer.
these you don't buy at
the warehouse, as
there's really no need
to warehouse
them. but what about everything else ?
nubbins`: best meat shop in
the city
too
cazalla: i get my meet/veg/fruit from local who supposedly provides australian grown produce (i am not so naive
to believe
that some scheming fuckers didn't figure out
they could import shit from china and just label it grown in australia but what can you do)
nubbins`: costco actually sells
top quality produce
mircea_popescu: well costco i never used, but in general cash & carry is where you buy a whole round cheese,
that's actually grana padano etc.
cazalla: mm
tasty bleached ass garlic, make it nice and white like snow white herself
mircea_popescu: cazalla it's improbable. generally wholesalers carry everything everyone else carries + more +
they sell it cheaper +
they deliver.
cazalla: nubbins`, doubt
they sell what i buy
nubbins`: cazalla if you shop at costco ~3-4
times in a year, you're ahead
nubbins`: srsly, 1L for
the same price as
the little
tiny bottles
the groc store sells
mircea_popescu: the romanian bulk supplier (metro) just wants you
to have a company.
cazalla: in fact,
they have a costco just a few streets away from here, not
that i've been.. pay for membership? fuck
that, costco drastically underestimates australian refusal
to pay for membershits
cazalla: is
that where you get bulk corn sizzurp? (they got costco's here now)
cazalla: ty nubbins` fucking power out and i'm
too drunk/tired
to ferry shit back and forth over usb
nubbins`: mircea_popescu understand
that
this is akin
to discovering jam is made from berries
nubbins`: and
today, stumbled across
the mad hatter again
mircea_popescu: so you figurted out british coin notations from "in
this style" ?
nubbins`: i did not have
this knowledge last i read it ;/
nubbins`: today: "wat, it says 'in
this style' above it? o"
nubbins`: unrelated, i *just* clued into
the mad hatter's hat from
TTLG
nubbins`: but i guess you're more of a journey guy
than a destination guy, hey
nubbins`: isn't
this much less circuitous
than
the original discussion 8)
nubbins`: before
the fact? c'est impossible
nubbins`: suppose
the asshole leaves a banana peel at
the
top of
the stairs
mircea_popescu: "Shoehorning is a ploy used by psychics, or religious apologetic or other charlatans, as a way
to make it sound like
their prophecies or
those of earlier prophets had come
true. "
nubbins`: mircea_popescu:for
that matter, suppose some asshole runs around
throwing banana peels right before people. and he gets busted for "assault with a dangerous weapon". <<< now you're just shoehorning
nubbins`: TIL mp doesn't
think lazers in yr eyes are bad ;/
cazalla: anyway,
tasmania is best australia
cazalla: they
tear down anything old and replace it with modern architecture, and what
they can't pull down completely,
they subert
the old by merging
the new into it

mircea_popescu: brendafdez:
The fact

There I fell in love with a Russian girl, it was in 2008, it was awesome
that we'd both speak with each other in a language
that was foreign for both, felt special, like being in bitcoin
these days (?
cazalla: i assume he drinks
though given he's back at
the parents and god knows
they drink
cazalla: not sure
tbh, we didn't speak for a few years, only recently began
talking again
cazalla: in fact, i would harp on
to my brother, who i lived with at
the
time,
that he needed
to quit drinking
cazalla: i prolly was, only
took it up again a month or so before missus had baby
mircea_popescu: dean martin is
this
total drunk, and at some point he says
to sinatra
mircea_popescu: you're supposed
to drink
that much just
to keep
the shit from migrating
to your head.
cazalla: i've prob pissed away 2-3k
the past 12-18 months on booze
mircea_popescu: cazalla lol you
two need
to stop drinking and buy coins from
the proceeds.
cazalla: i
tried
to convince him of such in PM yet.. he convinced me drinking was a good idea (ok not really, not like i need much encouragement)
assbot: Logged on 20-03-2015 06:06:35; BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
The worst part is I know
this had
to have been
targetted. Someone had
to spend a non-trivial amount of
time. I suspect a partcular name and yet...

trinque: which... not
the behavior in
the manual
cazalla: i have nfi,
too much
to drink
cazalla: seems
to be
the average, but i dunno
cazalla: all
the 10 inched black boyfriends in
the world wouldn't make any difference for some
types of women anyway
mircea_popescu: conservatives don't make very good parents for
that reason. kinda why nature put all
the poop in
the process, make sure it gets a fair shot.
cazalla: i
thought
the naive virginal conservative wife would make for
the best mother
cazalla: well i wouldn't know seeing i didn't stick around
to find out
cazalla: i dunno, never
tried it, she use
to steal it from work place
