asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-02#1869016 << this is prolly a neato item but (to the possible surprise of some people) asciilifeform doesn't 'live in emacs' in the sense of using it for things that ain't files-on-disk editing ☝︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: trinque: I suspect they may have killed imap/pop3 login to fetch mail

asciilifeform still occasionally uses email, does not have a stable of meatbots that'd allow him to pretend not to
asciilifeform: meanwhile in heathen lulz, 'gmail' ( now 'upgraded' ) nao takes longer to load than winblowz email client asciilifeform used in mid-1990s did
mod6: I'd say just let his 9.5k ride, we'll get it eventually. meanwhile, I think we need another 2k. maybe jurov wants to put up an auction?
BingoBoingo: Buenas tardes asciilifeform
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> they say it may take as much as FIVE WEEKS to get you your dough. now -- you wanna wait ? you wanna explore maybe euros ? you wanna call it off ? << I'll think about it a bit more. I'll double check the math, but if the transfer is 5 weeks out that still leaves us a margin of safety from the month of guarentee put up when service started.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> and iirc BingoBoingo has bank , can transmute paper bag into what dc eats. << Definitely can be done
asciilifeform: [ insert the mandatory ' if asciilifeform knew useful trades ' thread here ]
mircea_popescu: but asciilifeform "couldn't", then. and i guess we're going to terribly regret not sending in fucking helicopters to extract him from the concentration camp he ended up into through stubbornly refusing to fucking leave on his own two feet for a decade.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it's actually a return to 'vhs era' barbarism, prior to at&t breakup they also leased pnoje , could not buy )
mircea_popescu: the time to get out was, evidently, back when this was first discussed.
asciilifeform: ( i fughet how often they can break and get 'at no cost!111' new )
mircea_popescu: seems to me like the empire-of-can't-pay-outside-obligations is moving into a soviet outfit. got plasticar, plastiphone, plastifastfood and on your way.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: laugh, but it's nearly come; most of the users already have the 'subscription', they break'em regularly and get mailed new
diana_coman: imagine the chewing-phone! and lasting about one day max, perfect
diana_coman: or possibly the idea is that apple phones are indeed extremely similar to chewing gum
asciilifeform: ( current crapple doctrine, is that the mac is too much like an actual comp, too easily massaged into at least installing non-crappla apps )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: indeed. the other day was entry of i-nintendo into 'pro' market, as i understand. new turn of frog boiler knob.
mircea_popescu: isn't this what they've been doing since the 80s ?
asciilifeform: ( they even got various trad desktop shitware ported to it, e.g. photoshop, positioning as 'you dun need computer no moar' )
asciilifeform: might have some connection with the lul
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for extra lulz, they released yet another $1-2k 'no headphone port, and here buy new power cord' box the other day
mircea_popescu: or is the idea dude's as hollow as a bagpipe.
mircea_popescu: i don't get it, dude "didn't understand technology", bought wrigley. is the idea apple phone spits out wrigley spearmint flavour ?
asciilifeform: '"I do not focus on the sales in the next quarter or the next year," he said in August. "I focus on the ... hundreds, hundreds, hundreds millions of people who practically live their lives by it [iPhone]." He also called the iPhone "enormously underpriced," saying that it's worth far more than the $1,000 Apple charges for its latest models.'
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in heathendom lulz, 'Buffett Loses Nearly $4 Billion as Apple Stock Tanks'
asciilifeform: erry so often, i see spamola that cannot be explained any other way (e.g. for some vacuum-moulding shop in milwaukee etc )
asciilifeform: meanwhile, from the spam lint traps, https://www.johndcook.com/blog

asciilifeform: and iirc BingoBoingo has bank , can transmute paper bag into what dc eats.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if worst comes to worst, next time someone does a supply run they fly copa like sane people, and ima have someone meet them in panama with brown paper bag.
asciilifeform: ( it still aint clear to me why 'otc' is such parched desert )
asciilifeform: possibly could pump some life into btc<->orc traders, neh
mircea_popescu: this, incidentally, will be familiar to 1980s1990s east euro folk ; and yes i expect that experience's exactly the guide, ie, will get more frequent, ampler and longer lasted as time goes by.
mircea_popescu: yes well, this'd be past few weeks.
asciilifeform: june i think
asciilifeform: of the '5 weeks' , i mean
asciilifeform: (1st time i hear of such a thing)
mircea_popescu: i don't expect this is optional, ~everyone~ has the exact same problem.
mircea_popescu: they say it may take as much as FIVE WEEKS to get you your dough. now -- you wanna wait ? you wanna explore maybe euros ? you wanna call it off ?
mircea_popescu: it would seem the moloch is experiencing the early phase of a liquidity crunch.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo in other http://trilema.com/2016/sad-times-in-the-fiat-empire-apparently-you-cant-give-the-dollar-away-these-days/ news : wire processor informs me that they've a HUGE backlog of usd-to-ourside-reich transfers, and they're barely trickling out. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: something like that.
diana_coman: basically they tend to sound less like "automated result of syntactical analysis " and a bit more like some sort of summary: this and this and that were apparently the topics
a111: Logged on 2018-11-02 16:31 mircea_popescu: diana_coman you should see nicole keks. has a notebook with things to ask me "when it's a good time".
diana_coman: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-11-02#1868864 -> heh, I can quite easily picture it, yes; fwiw though I think there IS some clear improvement in her summaries ☝︎
mircea_popescu: no, just attached to annoying ungoodlooking rest.
asciilifeform: Mocky: lol, is theirs sideways or wat
Mocky: one hotel has chineese only hookers, which... who wants this lol. but someone must be buying
Mocky: the hotels do. hotels need a way to distance themselves from the occasionaly law enforcement, scapegoat
mircea_popescu: do they have pimps btw ? or is it a case of bureaucracy pimping the girls
mircea_popescu: will come out wayu the fuck cheaper than marriage, that's for damn sure.
Mocky: the price for rich oil duded swimming in the worlds densest sausage party
mircea_popescu: if you like her that much, pay her,w hy not.
mircea_popescu: keks. well, one doesn't traditionally buy whores by getting fixated on a particular one.
asciilifeform: seems like 'price for rube', but then again i am not subjexpert
Mocky: no that's converted to USD, 2000 QR / hr
mircea_popescu: so how much are thye ?
Mocky: well i don't know but they don't tell me to fuck off, no matter how much i ask them but never agree to pay
mircea_popescu: dreamy-eyed "students" are, today as in the time of francois villon, whatever you can spare.
Mocky: the fun thing is, like any salesman they *have* to talk to you and answer your questions if they think you'll buy
mircea_popescu: motel whores are usually 50 to 100.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, blowjob in the bushes is traditionally deemed 20 bucks, though it varies, in rural areas with old whores it's a ciggarette or w/e.
mircea_popescu: definitely do a post on that.
Mocky: what would be considered a normal rate for an hour with a whore? i don't know anything about how things are elsewhere
Mocky: and then the whores, oh my god, imma have to do a post on that
Mocky: not allowed to leave house but one day a week, even then with cerfew

BingoBoingo: Ah, she knows she's in the Nigerian's league
mircea_popescu: oh, white chicks get fat in qatar too ?!
Mocky: no idea, but given the excess mass, i don't think any cock is on the table
BingoBoingo: I suspect combination of advanced age dementia leading to a misperception of local cock availability
mircea_popescu: what was the problem, she expected a tip you didn't provide, as far as you know ?
Mocky: she's not speaking to me anymore. i've got a few days to get one of these other chicks to do it tho
mircea_popescu: srsly tho, get the photog hussy to film you during, livestream it... tom green's suddenly got nothing on you.
mircea_popescu: that way we could end up with a bunch of gay-for-convenience indian dudes in skinny jeans tryna import their handicrafts into here, too!
mircea_popescu: Mocky so are you gonna tell the "Daos" dorks how lulzy they are, what a republic is, and how it's been wearing them for dick ornaments this entire time ?
Mocky: the dude who messaged me from luxemburg wanting to buy coin
Mocky: i trolled him, he seemed pissed :)
mircea_popescu: Mocky iirc luxemburg is where the actuial site owner lives. ie, moar of the same "silk road major drug dealer, dork in charge has to buy the lb of coke on his own cuz site is such major"
Mocky: he still has the same number of trades (12) as when i first spied him in sept.
a111: Logged on 2018-10-20 18:52 Mocky: i get the impression from other talks (not today) that there is no end of "i have great biz idea for importing from my home country india" being pitched
mircea_popescu: i'd expect the "sell btc" guy in the http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-20#1864522 vein, not really worth it. ☝︎
Mocky: i can still buy btc from the one guy, presumably. but the other guy pulled his ad before I got the coin into my account there
a111: Logged on 2018-10-22 18:26 mircea_popescu: ah don't be silly, use the dime.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: imho notbad practice at other times also.
Mocky: but serveral dudes from luxembuourg want's to buy bitcoin from me
Mocky: in terms of actual traders, the guy actually trading on localbitcoins pulled his ad. So I posted my own ad up. It's been up for some time now, more than a week i think. no locals contacted me yet
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: On a typical day they tend to stay in their compound in Barrio Sur (el barrio afrodescendiente)
asciilifeform: eternal 2016 there, or wat
