As a result, the entire family was thrown out of the house for one week, even though Chris and his wife were never charged with or convicted of any wrongdoing. The family was allowed back in pending the outcome of their forfeiture proceeding, but only under the condition that they kick out their son and agree to waive their rights in any civil-forfeiture proceedings in the future.

as much
as you can, to buy consumer items, then liquidate everything for cash, buy bitcoins and a plane ticket. wish everyone left behind good luck on your way out, what's an extra 100k they have to pay on your account on top of the 2 trn they have to pay for on bush's account and the 9 to 15 on obama's ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw, does orlov admit officially to russian military training
as a strategist/analyst/whatevs ?
mircea_popescu: law always and everywhere functioning
as this device for the construction of a simplified world more or less based on the world
as is
mircea_popescu: yes but the point of contention there would be that according to the russian law, there exists no such thing
as a gay russian citizen
jurov:
as compared to their own citizens
mircea_popescu: jurov: asciilifeform re:orlov it's similar
as russian police completely ignoring tortures of gays...if they aren't complicit actively, then it isn't massacre? << this theory is appealing unless one stops to consider they were by this token complicit in the murder of whoever many million "tutsi"s whatever the fuck that may be, happening wherever the fuck that may have happened at some point nobody cared about.
chetty: the fees and taxes have increased a lot in the last ten years,

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i really don't think its
as political
as all that.
decimation: mongol hordes appear on the border - giving not one wit about the current power structure - and pillage
as they see fit
decimation: heh "The city voters—especially German Americans—overwhelmingly rejected the free-silver cause out of conviction that it would lead to economic disaster, unemployment, and higher prices. The diversified farmers of the Midwest and East opposed it
as well, but the cotton farmers in the South and the wheat farmers in the West were enthusiastic for free silver. "
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_silver mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: (how to know that schwartz (or taleb, or...) collects 'prize' rather than usg stooge with a shannonizer and irc connection - exercise for alert reader.) <<< if you recall something sort-of like that was tried, except this "major prize" approach is flawed
as you explain. so, better version was tried :)
decimation: mircea_popescu: that's true, in that case the eastern bankers were all in favor of gold (
as they didn't envision some gov't bank would be able to print infinite silver)
mircea_popescu: The20YearIRCloud: With regards to coins, you only need to avoid the very, very limited types that are assumed to be stolen from the mint << it's only limited for now, and
as a reflection of the coins actually physically found so far.
as more juicy morcels make the beast salivate, they'll become less limited.
The20YearIRCloud: hopefully between all that I'll personally be OK, but
as far
as the business is concerned, till bitcoin is a national currency and most workers get paid in it, it's gonna be hard for us to get truly involved in the BTC economy
decimation:
as in, ensuring that all of the masses can be traced to some standard, etc?
The20YearIRCloud: and in the case of emdrive
as well, it's signfiicantly more efficient than ion drives, but not absurdly so
The20YearIRCloud: It's going to JPL for testing, which is a pretty darn good sign
as to it working
decimation: "Army officials say the canisters, if they exist, do not pose a threat to the affluent Spring Valley neighborhood

cazalla: would it be a safe bet the reason newegg and other sites offer a discount when using bitcoin is that it's easy means of coin for usg? they can print

as a .txt file

as in wasted ?
decimation: asciilifeform: re: raising an army: The scale of humanity today is such that being a 'land baron' is almost impossible. Consider Mr. Yarvin's quote-of-a-quote: "
As the laws of King Ine of Wessex famously put it: We use the term "thieves" if the number of men does not exceed seven, and "brigands" for a number between seven and thirty-five. Anything beyond this is an "army."
decimation: us persons simply have no access to 'allodial title', not even
as a rental
decimation: What has happened to banking in the US is parallel to the "substitution calculations" done by usg for inflation - ie a ground beef patty with filler is the same
as a well-cooked steak.

as when he submitted to learn from the crow.

as suburbia
pete_dushenski: “Why’d you do it?” I asked,
as I slapped a pair of Oikos™ Greek Yogurt Presents Handcuffs® on the guy.
cazalla: melb is pretty much the same temp
as sydney
ben_vulpes: " My dislike of other mining nodes is a consequence of directly correlated forking dangers of alternative mining code, and I think we both know that." << one of these days i'm going to get left behind
as reward for my courtesy of loyalty to the power rangers i can feel it coming but maybe if i complain a lot in public maybe the inevitable won't happen
BingoBoingo: The great hazard of being salmon though is being recognized
as to delicious to simply render
as biodiesel by every living thing inclined to pescitarian consumption
decimation: Sounds legit. kinda like the existence of google translate is given
as a reason not to learn another language
decimation: "The existence of LLVM is a terrible setback for our community precisely because it is not copylefted and can be used
as the basis for nonfree compilers — so that all contribution to LLVM directly helps proprietary software
as much
as it helps us.'"

as a crowbar
