cazalla: gabriel_laddel: cazalla: consider
this a request for a qntra article entitled... <<< good idea, noted.

BingoBoingo: Luke-Jr: You may not have an interest in farm ailments, but if you farm
they will be interested in you.
gabriel_laddel: PeterL: BingoBoingo why
thank you, but I have nothing more
to say
tonight unless something interesting comes up or someone wishes
to address me.
Luke-Jr wonders if it can be
tested
Luke-Jr: hrm,
that sounds scary. especially infection via eating
the meat
BingoBoingo: Luke-Jr: It's
traditionally a woolcutter's disease.
BingoBoingo: Luke-Jr: Well, what are kids for? Just make sure
they have had
their anthrax shots.
Luke-Jr: BingoBoingo: supposedly, I could have someone walk
them until we figure out
the fencing
danielpbarron: 11:29 <+decimation> I bet outlaw restaurants have good food
too << reminds me of a place nearby
that used
to have great food until
the owner got ousted for
tax evasion; under new management
the food sucks
BingoBoingo: What kind of Catholic isn't ready
to be a Shepherd?
Luke-Jr: BingoBoingo: problem is, I don't have any crops planted for
them
to eat yet, and
the fence isn't really setup ideally yet
BingoBoingo: Do you really want
to drive a
trailer with an angry ram
PeterL: asciilifeform: i don't own any bitcoin assets, incidentally. << what? I
thought you were co-founder of S.NSA, you don't own any of it?
BingoBoingo: Well, make
the other poor motherfuckers drive.
Luke-Jr: point is,
they're
travelling 2.5 hrs regardless :P
BingoBoingo: Luke-Jr: Well sheep are more accustomed
to being compelled between locations
than other livestock, but
they are still more fragile
than
the larger animals.
Luke-Jr: so I'd be giving
them gas money
to
take mine with
them or something
Luke-Jr: the reason I'd avoid a drive is
that someone else in my area is picking up
theirs
Luke-Jr: so I have less
than 24 hours
to decide whether
to purchase an ewe & ram with
the ability
to avoid a 5 hour drive… any opinions? :p
gabriel_laddel: "nipping at your heels" was not
the expression I wanted. something closer
to "you can speak random alphanumeric strings at people and
they'll nod and smile at you. speak in an angry
tone and
they'll frown and shake
their heads, but
this and 'liking'
things is
the extent of
their expressive and intellectual capabilities"
BingoBoingo: decimation: I mean you don't feed cattle fresh salads, you feed
them silage from
the corn
that was
too useful for
them
to eat.
BingoBoingo: decimation: Well pop culture is
the garden where
the regime grows expectations.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: can't find
the naggum article I referenced earlier, but anyways yes -
the process of choosing a hero in
the USSA isn't by any stretch of imagination random.
decimation: BingoBoingo: what's even funnier is
that pop culture is seen as a source of authority :)
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: yeah, difficult
to get ahold of in bezzle land, which increasingly seems
to prefer
to "select a hero at random" (as per naggum).
assbot: Logged on 30-09-2014 20:25:59; asciilifeform: mats_cd03: depends on hypothetical destination. but, overall, just picture a figure large enough
to 'become
taleb' and live as 'gentleman scholar' in
total disconnect from economic reality around you.
BingoBoingo: It's an option
that may become feasible, but assuming it exists would be prematurely optimistic.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: right, however I seem
to recall some #b-a persons attempting
to convince you
to leave
the us for an actual jungle.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: I'm not one of
those attempting
to get you
to emigrate and make
the cardano in a jungle or w/e.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: kk. I had somehow gotten
the impression
that you were of both opinions a & b, which I find odd.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: so you're of
the opinions
that a) it isn't worth my
time
to network with people in other
territories and b) usg is going
to collapse?
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: For him
the network
to find
them does atm
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: and interesting problems only ever happen in
the us of a?
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: well, yes. I simply do not program anything other
than Common Lisp. but because I can do
this at $mylocation doesn't mean
that
there doesn't exist a soul in e.g., Russia who would be willing
to pay me
to do it.
gabriel_laddel: PeterL: missed
this line. <kakobrekla> ascii so basically you dont want
to get your hands dirty.
kakobrekla: well its how
the world works! even shit can hide from entropy.
PeterL: gabriel_laddel: maybe
the metaphor has been stretched
too far?
gabriel_laddel: 05:18 <kakobrekla> when shit is decomposed enough its dirt. << specifically referring
to
this.
decimation: PeterL: if
the us isn't around, who is going
to stop
them from expanding?
PeterL: Would
that involve Israel expanding geographically?
kakobrekla: ascii so basically you dont want
to get your hands dirty.
gabriel_laddel: decimation: lol if
the US suddenly disappeared Israel would destroy its enemies <<
this is sorta
the impression
that I currently have.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: exactly why it should be part of
the "promised land" missive.
decimation: lol if
the US suddenly disappeared Israel would destroy its enemies
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: absolutely correct. should be something more along
the lines of "unemployment rate for skilled programmers".
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: "largely confined
to an enclave of his own kind" how horrible....
gabriel_laddel: PeterL: its just a request, he has 0 obligation
to follow up on it.
PeterL: and how much are you putting up on S.QNTR shares
to pay for
this book?
gabriel_laddel: r locations, military prowess, unemployment rates / economic status, known quantities of natural resources, criminal character, ease of purchasing land, electricity etc. & interesting historical
tidbits.
gabriel_laddel: cazalla: consider
this a request for a qntra article entitled "the promised land" with exit points: Russia, Israel, Argentina & China weighing
the relative
tradeoffs of each with
the angle
that
the US is going
to fail.
things I'm interested in knowing about each
territory: character of
the rule of law,
taxes, status of
the
tech scene, character of
the gov., description of major cities, # of nuclear reactors and
thei
BingoBoingo: I dunno
there real is a serious one. States are sluts.
They all flirt with each other until someone gets
the clap. Russia
though does better business with Israel's neighbors.
PeterL: Where's
the wot chart for countries?
PeterL: What is
the current relationship between Russia and Israel?
BingoBoingo: PeterL: And
then
there's
the part where many US allies are explicitly not Israel allies
PeterL: If US disappears,
then many of
the other US allies will be having problems, so will be unable
to help Isreal
gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: hmmm. I don't know much about
the situation
there and will refrain from commenting on it.
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: Because
they can't repel all of
their enemies. Israel has had a chronic ally shortage.
gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo: really? because now
they can't kill irritating brown people outright?
BingoBoingo: gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform is a person for whom programing is incidental
to his other goals
