mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo if you can find a pretty female lawyer that wants to be married in ro, i wanna hear about it lmao.

asciilifeform: 'but i haven't got wings' 'slice lengthwise!1!!'

asciilifeform: actually no, they only have transparent-to-usg mockeries where i'm from

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform from experience, no. i had girls overstay their tourist visa by years.

asciilifeform: if i had a megabux i'd just live on that and try to stay out of police station

asciilifeform: i did the passport thing in usa and know 'how state worx'

asciilifeform: i can already picture it, suppose mircea_popescu ran an auto dealership, someone walks in asks for cheapest engined wheelbarrow , mircea_popescu answers 'over there, is a mine, spend 60 yrs there, you will have enough salt to trade for some iron blanks, and then....'

mircea_popescu: i don't right off recall what the rules for the lazy were. get local lawyer ask him

mircea_popescu: i'd be surprised if that much.

asciilifeform: the streets are swept, the german shop is stocked with prime high octane cheeses etc. what else 'use' i need.

asciilifeform: i mean bipedal vermin

asciilifeform: dunno, i see city full of happy folx in near-sparta-grade physical shape, 0 vermin, fine phood, parks open all night, etc

asciilifeform: also what's the brasspoleinbangkok-factor of this place ? ( i.e. say i buy something, will it be full of gypos when i get back to fill it up ? )

asciilifeform: i'd buy in toyota truck price range.

asciilifeform: i'd buy !!

asciilifeform: i can't quite fathom wai so much abandoned real estate

asciilifeform: i did see massive, astonishingly victorian abandoned water tower thing

asciilifeform: i saw the turkish turret turned meat processing plant

asciilifeform: oh and nao that i think about it, still in business last i saw.

asciilifeform: hm for some reason i immediately pictured 'ro kalash maker'

mircea_popescu: ah ah i see. yeah.

mircea_popescu: i believe that was housing not factory.

jessie_: i'm ready to move on

jessie_: this has nothing to do with my nightmare, but actually i have made the kidnapping nightmare exactly after reading this

asciilifeform: i get woodchipper dreams, what's that mean

jessie_: if i do NOT hand out the privkeys, well, i will sacrifice my dick, suicide a couple of days after, but also being acclamated as the "moar deflation guy" on reddit and gain a lot of karma points

jessie_: my thought was: if i give out the bitcoins, they are lost for god and then, in the middle of nowhere, the kidnapper could do some sadic game to get full satisfaction

jessie_: and then when the sadic russian picked the chainsaw to cut my dick in a very gory way i woke up

asciilifeform: i was hanging out with kim III in bestkorea in mine

jessie_: i made that statement because yesterday night i had a nightmare were i was basically kidnapped

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-25#1728585 << if either of you will be so kind to point out to the schmuck he can make 0.02 each by writing on gf tits, i'll be much obliged. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i'm sure it's the magic numbers 4.3.0 and 4.3.18 that are at fault ; naught else.

a111: Logged on 2017-10-25 15:01 jessie_: so, i will keep plain and simple: if I wake up bound with a thick rope on a table, find out that i'm kidnapped, then some angry and sadic russian appears and yells to me "give me the private keys or i'll cut off your dick". What is the most effective exit move aimed to keep both the btc and the possibility to happily ejaculate again?

asciilifeform: much, but i'ma keeping log spittle to min.

lobbes: "I will know when u read this letter, I put

shinohai: Even tho mircea_popescu gave me that God account, i spend little time on reddit:/

lobbes: <davout> there's this, and also the necessity of learning new things, very often people get stuck playing the same things, which mostly reinforces defects, instead of seeking new and different stuff to work on for a bit << this makes sense. Explains why I notice my improvising getting 'stale' after a few consecutive days of practicing only to be 'revitalized' after a break. Almost helps to clear that mental buffer of 'go-to musical phrases'

davout: language mixing is a thing for me too, i sounded like an absolute retard trying to speak dutch after one year of full-time english

a111: Logged on 2017-10-22 01:15 hanbot: i don't know what the actual time threshold is tbh. clearly longer than 15 mins tho.

lobbes: BingoBoingo aha. Deval the former choco-gubner of taxachusetts. Fits the bill, I can see it

lobbes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-24#1728338 << in my experience with guitar, frequency is more important for muscle memory building (and general finger strength building). I've found that even 5 minutes per day tends to be more effective than, say, a single 2 hour session per week ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i suppose its hard for a jew to grok the wordcount point.

mircea_popescu: shinohai tell him from me not making tenure "fucking sucks" from what i hear.

mircea_popescu: hopefully he has younger brothers, i can't imagine what possible use he can still be the usg turkfucker department.

a111: Logged on 2017-10-24 21:47 asciilifeform: i pictured them as ro equiv of ukrs approx

shinohai: i dunno

shinohai: I want one lol

asciilifeform: as a kid it vexxed me, i thought it had to do with страдать , suffer

asciilifeform: found its way into ru, автострада , i.e. autobahn

asciilifeform: i keep turning up indigested or quasidigested bits of ru in ro

diana_coman: I had a few colleagues at uni bucharest; re language my observation was that they mixed ro and ru (not words per se but rather languages as a whole) to such degree that result was at worst not-understandable, at best hysterical indeed; sort of saying "ulita" (because of Russian "ulita" obv) to huge boulevard comes to mind but it's not the only thing

mircea_popescu: diana_coman hey, i'm not proposing it's uninhabited or anything. good food, largest old collection of wine in europe (meanwhile im sure looted, but i did eat 1800s wine marmalade in their incredibly huge cellar that takes fucking semaphores is so big)

asciilifeform: i met one at uni

mircea_popescu: well to this day i expect the ancient amusement of "get a moldovan hooker at a party, make her strip and talk" still continues.

asciilifeform: i pictured them as ro equiv of ukrs approx ☟︎

asciilifeform: i can picture it tho.

asciilifeform: i keep hearing ru everywhere, but on close inspection it aint

mircea_popescu: i is easily the most fluid vowel in romanian, it really hides about half dozen distinguished forms of which about half are actually notated.

a111: Logged on 2017-10-21 21:31 trinque: btw, I will be traveling from tomorrow until wed. in-bot wallet ops will be working fine during that time, but I'll be unable to process withdrawals while out. any queued will be sent wed night.

asciilifeform: i still dunget why you folx ditched cyrillic

asciilifeform: i tend to turn those iau into яу

mircea_popescu: anyway, as far as the foreigner speaker is concerned, the pons asinorum is mastering the ɨ/i and ə/a dychotomies. takes failure rate from 100% to maybe 60% just liek that. then the dypthongs/tripthongs/quadriphtongs (yes, romanian has that). contrary to intuition, the special consonants are not difficult.

mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2012/triumful-talentului-sau-despre-bunatate/ is what i meant.

mircea_popescu: i guess lol.

diana_coman: mircea_popescu, lol! fwiw I kind of trashed "puiul" to start with: stated that mother-bird was idiot as she should have either taken chick on her back or otherwise leave earlier ffs

asciilifeform: i had similar but it was translation, gianni rodari , had bunch of , e.g.,

asciilifeform: i recall fefeleaga but that was not kidz tale neh

asciilifeform: we had this too, for 20yrs i thought that my nursery rhymes were su original, then found the english.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform somethinglikethat i guess.

mircea_popescu: amusingly, i recall all of these.

diana_coman: this batch of cds I have here are bought in 2015, casa radio again; recordings from 1961-1971, readers Silvia Chicos, Octavian Cotescu, Dumitru Furdui, Dinu Ianculescu, Elena Pop, Turodel Popa

diana_coman: asciilifeform, I guess so

mircea_popescu: "in lumea plina de urmari, eu sunt un om pe niste scari. in sus ce e ? in jos, nimic. in jos ce e ? in sus... nimic. vorbesc cu ceilalti care-au fost, si-n sus si-n jos si nu-i dezic. eu insumi spun de locurile pe unde-am fost : nu e nimic."

diana_coman: hmmm, asciilifeform I bought for my kid a set of cds, again radio romania old transmissions, "noapte buna, copii" ; tbh though those are 5-10 minutes sort of things and at times (now) I find them a tad annoying

asciilifeform: is there actually an antiquariat in timis? i sniffed around, found only old furniture peddlers

asciilifeform: i also supposed that ro '80s may have included same style of spiffy kidz' records as su, and to hunt for'em

asciilifeform: as i did with eng

asciilifeform: i was doing ii as if in finnish

mircea_popescu: language is full of it, it's like a fundamental mechanism of romanian. ii da / ɨi də/ (he gives [it] to him) vs dai-i /dəii/ (give them to him)

asciilifeform: hm theere it was. asciilifeform had nfi how to pronounce i-i

asciilifeform: ( which counts, sure, but i was looking for a serious boobytrap where unwary noob bites the wax tadpole )

mircea_popescu: i^i ( ɨi ), short form of to be present indicative ; i-i (ii), article-pronoun manuple.

asciilifeform: i.e. 2 diff wrds that differ only there

mircea_popescu: i just meant in the pronounciation of the two words.

mircea_popescu: the first takes ɨ not i.

mircea_popescu: i expect there can be peri-linguistic tests of language mastery consisting entirely of synthetic constructions.

asciilifeform: i still gotta attempt it...

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i have no idea what the heuristcs actually are ; self-reported they vary.

asciilifeform: * i dun expect

mircea_popescu: "oh, wanna-be mps over at ycombinator can't compete with mp though they really really want to ? I KNOW!!! we'll make all the bars suck and then suddenly the shit-ass parties ycombinator throws won't look quite as shitty anymore!!1"

ben_vulpes: i know, let's train them out of agency

mircea_popescu: of course this is never actually ~said~ as such, but i suspect for the same reason priest omits to specify manner and size of wife beating implement.

davout: i'm just a private pilot, when i fly people for money, i'm the one paying

asciilifeform: ah hm somehow i thought that davout already flew people for moneys

davout: becoming a professional airline pilot is on the list, and if I don't do it now I'll soon be too old
