thought
that's what being old is. somehow seems
to fit 6yo logic, "duckling grows into duck grows into cow grows into
tree".

Tatra
truck, ask for it.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-01 21:51 mircea_popescu: if you
tally up
the list of "well, since we got engine with
turbine we get air conditioning free anyway" on either side, usg is an eyesore, and
the argument becomes "steam engine locomotive won race because could offer free
tea
to passenger ; whereas diesel-electric lost because who wants free electricity anyway".

http://btcbase.org/log/2018-12-01#1877555 << in fact, atari is
terrible example. consider : su housing free, BECAUSE industrial construction process (discussed pluriously eg
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-06#1832377 ) existed, and might as wqell make hruscheba as wartime-replacement-machining-plant-in-six-weeks-in-ural-jungle (which is wat it was invented for, "industrial" meant a specific

those 16 months doing pushups and fucking
the mud,
those happened. your dad was army grunt was he not ?
danielpbarron: but all sorta moot now because i can't legally opperate a gambling
thing
☟︎ danielpbarron: that was re doing it from
the shared host i already have
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron so why not just use one on
the box, send nothing ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i suppose
they'd host a pogo for you, but latest
thinking here is
that not rly worth
the amps.
☟︎ danielpbarron: and re:
timeframe above:
the idea was use a FG at home
to make a big binary file and
then send it
to
the server
to use
danielpbarron: i've got crates of pogos, is
that
the item in question?
a111: Logged on 2018-12-01 18:51 danielpbarron: yeah
that's something
to consider
mircea_popescu: "yay
team! we get
the benefits of vicarious athelticism!!" "in
the sports bar ?" "of course!" "what benefits are
those ?" "FREEDOM AND DEMOCRACY!"
BingoBoingo: At
the
time of 9/11 first WTC attack had largely been forgotten in favor of OKC event
BingoBoingo: Merkel hadn't driven
this new EU
thing into
the Mud and
the Russians had a long rebuild in front of
them
a111: Logged on 2018-12-01 18:48 danielpbarron: what
time frame is acceptable?
BingoBoingo: The SU may have had
the loss of Stalin shock, but my generation grew up in gringostan on a solid diet of "end of history"
a111: Logged on 2018-12-01 21:31 asciilifeform: as a larva i had nfi ~why~
the 'grandfathers' were made of diff stuff, quite evidently
to naked eye,
than errybody's fathers, but was clear
that
they were.
mircea_popescu: any attempt
to reconstruct
this argument (yeah, but
the
tea -- coca leaves!!!) dies
the same death, ultimately. "this nonsense could only be interesting
to morons" "that's ok, we here in gringostan proud country of morons" "and how do you expect
to survive on any sort of
time horizon ?" "WE SPREAD AGITPROP RE BENEFITS OF STUPIDITY ALL OVER GLOBE!!! WORK PAYS LATER, LAZY PAYS NOW!!!"
mircea_popescu: if you

tank is a particular
type of
tractor, let's say. it cultivates sovereignty (or did, in
the age of
the
tank, but why nitpick) rather
than edibles.
mircea_popescu: n of
http://btcbase.org/log/2014-11-24#933189 ). similarily, su books free, because. su collegiate education, free, because. su pineapple expensive, because who
the fuck is paying dole its ransom ; but su milk cheap, because. and so on in
this vein -- su hospital free, but does not work like gringo hospital. you know ?

the prefab construction process -- first, send mining equipment, flatten land ;
then, put in rail ;
then, roll out a rail crane, and roll prefab on cars up
to it ;
then move
the derivation
a111: Logged on 2018-12-01 21:23 asciilifeform: so,
to extend lemma, atari ~because~ cheap ic, and not other way ?
mircea_popescu: those 16 months doing pushups and fucking
the mud,
those happened. your dad was army grunt was he not ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: why shouldn't a generation reproduce
the previous ? if not formally, at least
the larger chunks of substance ?
mircea_popescu: main problem of historical / archeological work is
to discern
the coincidence from
the item. (is
this spec of dust or is it portion of priceless artefact ???)
mircea_popescu: wtf happened, women stopped sucking
the right part of
the cock ? for seven decades ?!
mircea_popescu: now, what
the fuck reason, i have nfi. it's comparatively clearer with
the gringos,
they had been sheep-following su, went off cliff eyes wide open.
mircea_popescu: well, kurchatov, strictly. as per carlyle, history exists strictly as
the biography of great men.
mircea_popescu: hence "you
think
the chain is powering your chainsaw".
mircea_popescu: since
there's no saving,
there's no amortization. country does or dies.
mircea_popescu: country gets a set of resources each generation, and ALWAYS SPENDS
THEM.
there's no option
to "save",
the 20yos now floating about will not be cryopreserved.
mircea_popescu: amortization is ~not meaningful~ in
this context.
there's nothing
to ever amortize, macro-economically,
that's specifically not how a country works.
mircea_popescu: the notion of "soviet computer work amortizing" is EXACTLY
this sort of "naive extension".
the ~very concept~ of "amortization" exactly mirrors
the concept of "reproduction" in
the previous step : you are using a naive notion
that you're
trying
to extend naively.
a111: Logged on 2014-11-26 00:46 asciilifeform: have
to understand, jet fighter is not really a complete machine. it is a
tentacle of
the larger industrial slave empire which produced and employed it.
mircea_popescu: "the notion
that airplanes could reproduce
through laying eggs is merely a naive extension, in
the vein of 'object A has properties a and b ; object B shares property a and
therefore it is reasonable ~~~on a first approximation~~~
to expect it exhibit proerty b'. nevertheless, artifacts differ from nature in
that one fundamental aspect,
that
they're inefficient, and
therefore
to achieve same ends end up heavy, and in
the case
☟︎☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: what is
the hole in "reproduce airplanes
through egg laying" ?
mircea_popescu: nevermind
that part, i'll explain
that in
the next step.
mircea_popescu: let's
take
this one at a
time. do you in fact understand what hole i see in "reproduce airplanes
through egg laying" ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform do you understand what hole i see in "reproduce airplanes
through egg laying" ?
mircea_popescu: i
tell you, you've got
the chain powering
the saw over here.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dude, what
the everloving fuck, if
tomorrow i wake up with
the notion evertyone in
tmsr gotta get circumcised you're gonna do it ?! brejnev was not
this popular or respected, not at any point in his life.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
those formative years are eminently not "amortize" in
the batshit insane nonsense of having people-of-walmart involved.

the retard farms, LordMPofTMSR "Not even kidding." Lola_25 "Umm... what?" LordMPofTMSR "Think of it as an intelligence
test.
That you're failing." Lola_25 "Great! It seems like a quiz
that I'm happy
to fail" LordMPofTMSR "You failed everything
to date, what "happy". You're happy like
the chair's "happy" it can't walk : since it can not walk anyway... Now get lost."
mircea_popescu: it's my considered opinion
that
taking "the american experience" into consideration for any practical purpose is fundamentally stupid. might as well
think in
terms of "hey mr wright,
this bird of yours is ok, but does it lay eggs ?"
mircea_popescu: of course,
the chinese don't need
that for anything, but w/e.
mircea_popescu: it's a country adequate
to
the
time and needs of jefferson, it'd make
the best agrarian 1700s
the world has ever seen.
mircea_popescu: they're literally 1024 chickens, inconsequentially "democratic", fighting
the "corruption" of meaning.
mircea_popescu: this is
the substance of my original claim. it seems
to me russian man decided not
to
think. and
this has no bearing on "cocksucker said". nobody yet has listened
to
the cocksuckers.
mircea_popescu: see,
this is my point : at some point somewhere around
the 60s, kurchatov jr decided he's gonna... ?
