trinque: mircea_popescu: do you know how long it

to be damaging for
the attempter.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you misunderstand. no

mircea_popescu: Adlai you know, you should probably write an exhaustive discussion of

to 'all
thumbs'

the peso is shit, why do you imagine your real estate is worth anything at all ? ' << because if it were 10 usd, a beggar from calcutta would buy it and live in it; if it were 10K usd, i'd buy it; if it were 100K usd, american speculator corps. would buy it. so it

too.
mircea_popescu: the only solution is

assbot: Logged on 12-03-2015 12:03:56; Adlai: sure, one of my big struggles lately is pushing myself
