mircea_popescu: did not fucking bother to ask if i can even drive it.

mircea_popescu: dude... i went into the lot, asked for the boss, they pointed me to the office-latrine, i was like "i want an excavator" he was like "50 a day" "i was like here" then he pointed out the window to machinery.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1731030 << don't be silly, renting excavator is like 50 bux a day, no questions asked. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: if the medieval mercenary experience taught us anything.

mircea_popescu: own people and rent land works da fuck better of trying to pretend like you own land on rented people.

mircea_popescu: and this is generally a point -- if you want quality sex work done, you bring your own whores. and so following.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1731027 << same exact http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1731342 as before -- if you own a construction crew, yes. otherwise, no. ☝︎☝︎

mircea_popescu: when referencing, we reference!

mircea_popescu: to link plox.

mircea_popescu: which is this ?

mircea_popescu: the "harley worth" place in romania will rent in romania for what the harley leases for in the us. wtf.

mircea_popescu: you imagine discounted market values don't work in romania or what the fuck.

mircea_popescu: on 3x bum power you get... 3 bums!

mircea_popescu: you're not giving yourself much space here, "i wish to live like prince on 3x what bum spends".

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform most "independent" vagabonds with delusions of being students live on 2-300 a month you realise.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you can prolly have something like a detached suburban house or a girl's townhouse (3 rooms, central) for three figs np.

mircea_popescu: (similar to how exams, or sentences work -- you're more than welcome to appeal, but you can end up with a worse outcome! you didn't like your 6, here's a 4. you didn't like the 5 years, here's 7.)

mircea_popescu: so in general they tend not to dare.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1731023 << you can. provided that they are not damaging to the property (no, change is not presumptively damage) the only avenue of owner is to protest to whatever authority, which may or may not inspect, and generally will write down some subevaluation of your improvements. which the owner will be held to pay when you leave. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: not this -- not rent.

mircea_popescu: this, ftr, is the ONLY way rent works. anything else, see above discussion re torrens title.

mircea_popescu: if concerned, add auto-renewal, they can never kick you out as long as you pay.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1731021 << not at all ; for one thing you take a 3 or 5 year lease ; this works as an option -- you can stay or leave, they can;'t kick you out. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: some things are better served by industrial rather than artesanal solutions.

mircea_popescu: homemade insulation like homemade contraception.

mircea_popescu: meh.

mircea_popescu: course in many places town hall undertook some insulation work. not great afaik.

mircea_popescu: but you can have the bare-concrete matchbox flats, those are a nightmare in terms of heat efficiency. which generally why cheap.

mircea_popescu: yeah this was ~1m thick walls.

mircea_popescu: thereabouts anyway.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform like it sure, but still gotta heat. iirc a reasonably modern setup took me back something like $1 / cubicmeter-year.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform http://btcbase.org/log/2012-08-16#-318612 ☝︎

mircea_popescu: and timisoara, technically is mediteranean climate, has figs. except one year there it had a winter of pure doom, people died in teh streets etc.

mircea_popescu: your heating costs will typically outpace it by two degrees of magnitude (romania does get bitter winters, a la boston not a la wash dc)

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1731019 << i never paid anything notable in property tax, even for whole buildings. typically it's the last in a sorted list of property bills, under even de-snowing services and such. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1731005 << what, in romania ? come off it. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: and by doubtless i mean doubtful.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730997 << this is doubtless. ustards are called tards because they are tards, not because we want or like to call them tards. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730985 << this also works well, if you own one. if you don't own one, meh. ☝︎☟︎

mircea_popescu: (if different principle -- do reconsider "ownership" there.)

mircea_popescu: same principle in say egypt, or anywhere else in civilised world.

mircea_popescu: basically you go there with the owner, he provides all the paperwork they want, thassit.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730983 << http://ocpitimis.ro/documente.php ; #21 (last) is item of interest for you. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: usa never invented anything worth the mention.

mircea_popescu: 100% objeciton means not-the-owner.

mircea_popescu: if the op raises the slightest objection, warn once, walk on 2nd pass.

mircea_popescu: ro / sane places do not use contracts for real property.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform torens title. get it registered, it's done.

mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2017/the-world-has-changed/

mircea_popescu: for that matter, when's the last time yo usaw anyone get out of the car with a tire iron in hand ?

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730980 << you overestimate people's grit. most people who own a building imagine their biosack's "worth a lot more" than that, will not deign to risk it over such a piddly item as a sackful of dough. WHAT IF HE BITES BACK!?!?!?! ☝︎

mircea_popescu: this is the aspirational of the arab refugees, move in work land.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730978 << she's right, perfectly workable 2 people farm (that will feed 10) can be had in pictoresque (ie, remote) regions of eeurope, not just ro, for < 5k in cash, same-day. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: this is an important formative element, prolly on its way out for that very reason.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730975 << most kids get ro papers by having their parents say they let them stay in. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730970 << nah, can buy for cash. heck, can buy for personal notes. the "buying" in proper countries (ie, with torens title) is the act of registration of property ownership ; you can do that by declaration. ☝︎

mircea_popescu wonders why he has to explain this, and why in 2017.

mircea_popescu: and obviously "you" can mean anything.

mircea_popescu: full example : 1. you find dood wants to buy btc ; 2. you pre-arrange time, place, values involved ; 3. you register alf-trade-0001 nick ; 4. you register a key for it with deedbot ; 5. you !!pay sum to it ; 6. you meet buyer, with that thing's key ; 7. pay or not pay, but in any case.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730969 << this makes no sense, does it ? you... call the operator to authorize a pre-arranged payment. way this has worked since days of fugger. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730958 << lmao wut! ☝︎

mircea_popescu: shows they have their head in the rightr place.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730924 << moreover, when buying citizenship, always buy the cheapest. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730888 << kid be liek, "i see through your shenanigans, sir." ☝︎

mircea_popescu: have industrial (well, restaurant) strength garbage disposal put in for the placentae and aquajets for light play on the side, you're golden. 20-30 sqm of water amply suffices.

mircea_popescu: they call spawners "whales" for a reason you know.

mircea_popescu: correct solution is to just use the spawning pool, "always a woman or two in there, and a buncha infants".

mircea_popescu: well there's no such thing as standard acquarium. but sure, keep the temperature reasonable, an hour or two at a stretch, can be multiple passes per day.

mircea_popescu: anyway, the obvious solution is keep baby in water.

mircea_popescu: it's really not clear how/why that works.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730829 << the aetiology is usually mechanic not genetic. kid spends too much time laid flat. mostly due to you know, "keep baby on back lest it suddenly dies" anglo-nonsense. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: i can't discern if 16yos will grow up into dumb or not half the time. HALF THE TIME!

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730820 << - >> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730833 this is definitely too early. ☝︎☝︎

mircea_popescu: "then get rocket, beotch!!1"

mircea_popescu: pet moves on to fondling viagra packages.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform no icbm cone yet delivered on own power ; so no, 2weeks+ common for parts.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform point being not own hands, yes.

mircea_popescu: and for that matter, the only item ever so transported as far as anyone knows is diana's dildo that one time.

mircea_popescu: i've never experienced same-day delivery across jurisdictions.

mircea_popescu: well, whatever they do. same-day except it crosses borders so next week kthx.

mircea_popescu: meanwhile fedex etc generally want 30-40.

mircea_popescu: ie about 1500 per ton-1Mm.

mircea_popescu: charge about 1/2 what courier does.

mircea_popescu routinely gets airlines to ferry tons for him. they're generally happy to, at least the better ones, if you're willing to do it by arrangement.

mircea_popescu: what's the liftoff weight calculated at ?

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-31#1730769 << you know it's conceivable our needs might differ. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: care to guess how it's calibrated ?

mircea_popescu: inteligence is measured in tsya.

mircea_popescu: but do you know what the measure of inteligence is ?

mircea_popescu: aok.

mircea_popescu: dja have the "why do chukcha go about in pairs ?" "they teach one to read and the other to write" one ?

mircea_popescu: in rolands.
