mircea_popescu: odds are
this bunch is more numerous
than
the bunch
that still reads romanian press.
assbot: Romania buys into bitcoin big
time | euronews, corporate
cgcardona: i
thought of you when I read
that article. I’m like ‘huh?’ ‘wtf'
cgcardona: mircea_popescu: according
to some shit I read in
the press Romania just got into btc
mircea_popescu: cgcardona i bet you
that's more per sq foot
than
the businesses in downtown san francisco can possibly afford
cgcardona: mthreat: i was just paying 800 for a studio downstairs apartment but it was a little on
the island style side of
things so we upgraded
to a 2 bedroom for 1500 in downtown kapaa
that was baiscally like a vacation rental. very nice and clean
mthreat: what would you estimate a place for a couple would cost per month, with a kitchen for cooking, somewhere not
too far from Lihue airport
cgcardona: without questions. it’s
the garden island. and def
the bestIMO
mthreat: cgcardona:
they have schools on Oahu, big island, and kauai, and kauai just seems like
the most beautiful of
the islands
cgcardona: yeah i’ve yet
to
take helicopter
tour
there. I really wanted
to
this last
time but never got around
to it and
then we ended up leaving early.
mthreat: cgcardona: in argentina now... I spent 1 week in kauai before. I'll be
taking helicopter lessons with Mauna Lao Helicopters
cgcardona: but
that sounds like what you’re planning so you should be good.
cgcardona: thats why my family and i like
to do 3-6 months on island at a
time
cgcardona: where are you now? It’s an amazing place
to live. kind of expensive but worth
the price for what you get
mthreat: cgcardona: when i get back
to
the US in 2016, i want
to live
there for 3-6 months, and i'm curious about housing options
cgcardona: yea I’ve lived
there off and on several
times since 2002. why?
BingoBoingo: I mean organisms without mitochondria still exist, but... at still greater cost in what
they are limited
to being.
mircea_popescu: kidneys, everything's worth it just
to make
the
tiny coal plant go.
mircea_popescu: bloodstream, all
the hassle of hemoglobin,
the expense of feeces being 80%
that
BingoBoingo: mitochondria
though are
the ultimate example
though of "If you can, you must" as having mitochondira is so much better
than not having
them
BingoBoingo: Well, I may have
to do some remembering... or reading... but it may have been a cellulaur organism rather
than a virii
that did mitochondrion
mircea_popescu: after all,
they are genetically different (and
that's why
the mother dna is actually more dna
than
the father's)
mircea_popescu: justusranvier BingoBoingo re
the virus discussion, i suppose you're familiar with
the viral
theory of
the origin of
the mitochondria
mircea_popescu: <decimation> If USG doesn't consider failure
to pay federal
taxes a basis
to deny a security clearance, one wonders upon what basis
the clearance is granted? <<< i don't
think you understand how few people still pay
their
taxes.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> if easier
to find bullet
than coin, re-examine engineering priorities in project. <<< ahah
the foregoing was worth it.
mircea_popescu: <cazalla> diablo has not looked like
that for some
time, she got a make over in diablo 3 << sadly.
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> mthreat: mircea_popescu: has ars customs completely cut amazon off from delivering? << i've not yet
tried mail.

justusranvier: (Or other primate/pig hybrids, if
that hypothesis
turns out
to be
true)
justusranvier: The characteristic
that sets you apart from
the other primates is
the ability
to derive universal principles and apply
them.
BingoBoingo: justusranvier: Well, I experience
the world as homo sapiens
BingoBoingo: On
the other hand... Sometimes I want
to restrict my definition of living
to
things I could, at least in
theory, eat.
justusranvier: There was some physicist working on a
thermodynamic definition of life.
justusranvier: We consider cells
to be alive. We consider multicellular organisims
to be alive.
They aren't quite alive in
the same way
that so far eludes a precise definition.
BingoBoingo: Or more virus's have all of
the instructions
to live, but none of
the aparratus
to live on
their own
BingoBoingo: Well,
technically
they are roughly as living as fire
justusranvier: You don't need
to be able
to
think in order
to fail
justusranvier: The viruses
that make us sick are
the failures of
the virus world.
The virus winners are
the ones
that create entirely new species.
BingoBoingo: A decent percent of
the human genome share dna with various
traditional STD causing pathogens.
assbot: Mammals Made By Viruses :
The Loom
RebeccaBitcoin: I've always wanted
to orchestrate a false flag operation.
justusranvier: Evolution in action.
The least-successful viruses kill
their hosts quickly.
The better ones kill
their host more slowly so
they can infect more people.
THe most successful ones don't make
the host sick at all, and instead infect
the germ line and become immortal.
BingoBoingo: RebeccaBitcoin: Nah
this is
the one where seekrit Ebola cure gets snuck into worthless homeopathic remedies
to save Obama care dollars.
BingoBoingo: justusranvier: From an article you linked >> "What
they don’t understand is
that Ebola is unlikely
to spread very far because it is so fatal." << What makes
this new strain particularly dangerous is it is only killing ~60% of patients
justusranvier: But
they can't just leave it at
that.
They've got
to cloak it in a bunch of pseudoscience bullshit
justusranvier: So homeopathy is just another way of saying "sometimes if you make people feel better
they heal faster"
justusranvier: I just wish
they'd be honest. Placebos can do some good by lowering stress, which lowers cortosol, which would otherwise get in
the way of natural healing processes.
BingoBoingo: justusranvier:
There are many reasons why homeopathy is a scam, mircea_popescu: but yeah, i suppose it's a good proof
they don't grok objective reality. << Homeopaths make
their cheddar on conditions
that
test well against placebo
ben_vulpes: wrong chan, but if anyone's of
the sentiment...
ben_vulpes: gpg --encrypt -r "$recip_1" -r "$recip_2" ... - how intersperse "-r" with
the elements of $KEYS_OF_INTEREST
decimation: If USG doesn't consider failure
to pay federal
taxes a basis
to deny a security clearance, one wonders upon what basis
the clearance is granted?
decimation: I imagine
the design
tolerance of an SMT part is quite
tight
decimation: asciilifeform: FYI you can listen
to
that Morse code vaccuum pendulum clock on
the remote shortwave receiver I linked a few days ago.
decimation: 9.
The only feasible option for your own Benefit (is "come back" and surrender Here in
the U.S.A. AS WELL AS "FACE
THE MUSIC," as alleged by
the Interviews
to you on
television on or about May 2014 (TO FACE
THE CRIMINAL CHARGES AGAINST YOU).
Then, I will
try
to
TONE
THE MUSIC DOWN FOR YOU SO
THAT YOU CAN DANCE EASILY WITH YOUR FAVORITE MUSIC AS WELL AS DANCE WITH (YOUR "PARTNERS") HEREIN.
assbot: linux - Encrypt
tar file asymmetrically - Super User
ben_vulpes: jesus fuck chrome keeps retranslating
the site every
time
the js does something
mthreat: ben_vulpes: MercadoLibre.com.ar is probably
the closest
thing
ben_vulpes: mthreat: what's
the in-country equivalent?
mthreat: ben_vulpes: apparently it is very hard
to receive stuff. I haven't even
tried
to order anything.
kakobrekla: not a great month, suffering lack of volatility since december,
this is being addressed.
ben_vulpes: better question: what are
the major CLI clipboard interfaces on linux? xclip...
ben_vulpes: hey linux users: how do you
typically pipe stuff into your clipboard?
ben_vulpes: hey what's
the story with
the GPG-login video?
mircea_popescu: that ain't maslow's pyramid for crying out loud.
this is like
the #1 libertard falsification
topic or what ?!
ben_vulpes: ;;later
tell pete_dushenski buttventures!
