BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: phun phact. russia produced 308 winchester since early 1970s. why? brezhnev received a costly hunting rifle as a gift from usa. needed
to feed it... << Similar with stalin and his 1911
BingoBoingo: Short story,
this morning's bitcoin burning went
to a pound of firing pins
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: my understanding is
that
this is virtually unheard of <<
Turned out all of
the other patent people held .308 winchester rifles I was
the long 7.62x54R party
to
this fight against
the undead
decimation: turns out

that
decimation: ascii what about
those isolating in-ear buds?
mike_c: well,

the other party

they are suing someone who has $3 bn

DreadKnight: he seems
to be more into
tweeting
that blogging nowadays xD
DreadKnight: last
time I
talked
to him about 2-3 years ago, I recall his latest game with
the zeppelin
that he wanted me
to
try
DreadKnight: will
try
to catch up with him soon, it's been
too long
DreadKnight: back
then it sure was
the case for indie game devs
DreadKnight: I wonder why he hasn't sticked with making games, he had quite a few decent prototypes done in pretty much no
time
DreadKnight: got
the privilege
to meet him back in
the day I started getting into game development
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu,
totally; still reading comments actually, I got a bit of nostalgia now :D nice
to see lots of comments on your blog made by krossfire as well
moiety: sounds dangerous
thestringpuller lol
thestringpuller: but
the one I'm going
to is a skateboard ride away. So I can get drunk as shit and skate home.
thestringpuller: well
there is an arcade pub, with old 90's arcade games scattered about.
moiety: i wanna go
to
that pub!
moiety: youplay video games at
the pub?!
thestringpuller: Will probably play video games while I intoxicate myself at
the pub up
the street.
assbot: How
to defeat
the 3500 Naga Queens in HOMM3's Dragon Slayer campaign. - YouTube
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, read
the homm related comments, seen people defeating pretty much any neutral army without having many units of
their own by exploiting
the berserk spell in homm3, really OP, hypnotize can't compare overall; lame example
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8DKlEbAv1U moiety: lots going on
thestringpuller how are
things with you?
assbot: Eroii pe

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform happened once before you know ? how did
they conquer ur ?
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, have you bothered with HoMM4 and
the rest of
the sequels?
DreadKnight: mircea_popescu, will spend
time learning more about shares / dividends and mpex s.mg and after
that I'll probably drop a nice presentation / documentation link you way and see if we can figure something out
that works for both of us
benkay: maybe i'm just
trying
to get you
to explain it and ruin
teh lulz
benkay: or i'm retarded,
take your pick.
benkay: columbia standing in for america. getting blapped over
the head and wearing welts?
decimation: only so many gov't and indirect gov't jobs, and

benkay: <mircea_popescu>
this would be why columbia's wearing
the stripes and seeing
the stars. // pardon me?
decimation: The
trouble is
that in
the case of
the DC area, for instance,
the parents also are
taking up
the economic opportunties
mircea_popescu: this would be why columbia's wearing
the stripes and seeing
the stars.
mircea_popescu: benkay "imposing your will on
the environment is evil anwyay"
decimation: there's some
truth
to
that mircea. I suspect
that
the nuclear family was probably a reaction
to
this very problem
benkay: "i'll die poor, what of it. let's have another pabst and
talk about
the latest pictures on instagram."
benkay: "the myth of US Social mobility is worse
than mythical : it’s going
the other way." //
this is pretty well known among
the 40-50 yo socialist set, and my generation seems
to just accept it
mircea_popescu: might as well skipped him went straight from lizzie
to
the kids.
mircea_popescu: lookl at
the british crown :
the fact
that charles actually reached sexual maturity is
to
the detriment of everyone.
mircea_popescu: with 50+ age expectancy,
this model is disastrous, basically if humans were a functional species sexual maturity'd skip a generation altogethere.
mircea_popescu: if
the average lifespan (esp for males) is in
the low 40s,
then sticking
together family is perfect : by
the
time father croaks, kids are just old enough
to pick up
the pieces.
mircea_popescu: individuation happens with hardship.
the point of fambly sticking
together is
to control hardship
through approaching it a certain way, much like a ship approaches waves a certain way.
mircea_popescu: but
that aside, kids moving away is a good
thing anyway.
mircea_popescu: us folk can't admit
they suck andmore
than classical japanese can admit emperor is a dumbass.
decimation: it's apparently easier
to have your kids leave you
than
to admit
that you suck
decimation: so we have a situation where people living in Bethesda have kids who have
to move
to Kansas because
the people in Bethesda don't want
to admit
that
they are poor

the US social mobility. pe

decimation: note
those cities largely lack gov't jobs, and lack
the primary patrons of bezzle money (big finance, welfare, defense contractors)
decimation: note
that
the areas
that have increasing millennial home-buying are all low-cost areas
that have escaped bezzle inflation: "Among
the
top cities
that may see a surge are Austin and Dallas in
Texas, as well as Denver and Des Moines, Iowa. "
