talking slavegirl, you can just order her

mircea_popescu: "The new Foundation,

the stuff of
the past month gets a mention because
the previous stuff is so ingrained by now it's like a skin.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform> when do we get on with one of us proving p==np and

mircea_popescu: ifully over my head
that I couldn’t read anything else for weeks. As someone always hunting for an intellectually challenge, I’d never seen anything even remotely like #b-a. At once

the banality of
the familiar, I found myself with some spare
time during a vacation in Mazatlán.

the pieces began falling into place. I actually sat down
to read
the #b-a logs and
there I saw conversations unfolding before my very eyes
that gave context
to
Trilema,
that gave context
to Bitcoin, and
that were were so
tearfully, blessedly, beaut

mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski better question for your next one : is being a libtard a cult ? how about dating, is
that a cult ?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu well if i came back positive in my assessment, i'd send myself down
the post-partum path. wasn't really in
the mood for
that.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: actual shovel, like actual computer, is not field-portable. << Depends on
the size of field, and on whether or not portage enhancers are available

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> if everyone gets
that
tattooed, say on
their butt, is
the b-a more like a) a cult with weird body mod overtones ; b) a gaggle of ditzy
teenaged girls (and
therefore, a buncha fags) ; c) none of
the above ? < b
mircea_popescu: <thestringpuller> if sim city has

that many penises around long enough for
that. maybe if in chinese script ?
