TestingUnoDosTre: i've heard of nicotine helping
the matter, but am wondering how you personally know if your memory is better
joecool: i used
to
test myself but i found just logging observations worked better
joecool: i actually picked up
the ecig vaping for a short while cause i was experimenting with small amounts of nicotine for memory and
to keep my bp from crashing
BingoBoingo: I dun like opiates,
they make me itch. You ever wake up having a
tooth cut in half, and
then for several days
take pain pills
that make you rash more and more?
joecool: they had
to manually check me in hospital as most of
the auto cuffs couldn't pick me up
joecool: someone had me
try vaping it once and i slept for almost 18 hours
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: Extremes of ETOH and marijuana intoxication can be great, but apart, never
together at
the extremes
joecool: i've had cannabis a few
times, i can't really have it
though, drops my blood pressure and i either faint or sleep for over 12 hours
TestingUnoDosTre: then i slowly drifted over
to
the cigarretes, as I began
to mix
the
two
artifexd: ThickAsThieves: Mailpile is an opensource web mail app
that does makes pgp encryption easier.
To be really useful
though, it should be run on your own server.
joecool: loves it now, got
the really fancy units
joecool: me? i
tried ecig vaping shortly, never got huge into it, but gave my kit
to coworker
to quit cigarette smoking and he switched
to
that
joecool: sure, i was
talking about vaping
though
TestingUnoDosTre: by
the way, I'm really disappointed how bitbet posts latest bets
to
the front page. I sniped
this coinlab bet from a few months , and someone just followed me
joecool: my coworker switched
to ecig, smokes
thug juice
BingoBoingo: Well, I smoke menthol cigarettes like a nigger so maybe
that is another false positive
that might aggrevate
this piece of shit.
mircea_popescu: mike_c
tbh i half figured you moved for a day of hooker privacy.
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre:
The .08 rule is why I keep a
tremendous distance between driving and drinking.
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: I can look at
the bottle or bottles.
mike_c: mircea_popescu: hah, sorry my departure caused a commotion. great weekend
though! i had a blast.
BingoBoingo: Nah,
this isn't a high score night.
This is just cultivating a good hangover
to
think
through
tomorrow.
TestingUnoDosTre: if you're going for your all
time high score, doesn't seem like cheating
to me
BingoBoingo: Also
this is Overstock.com,
they barely replaced Roger Ver
BingoBoingo: Sometimes approximation is a necessary
tool
BingoBoingo: mike_c: Yeah, but are YOU really going
to jump me with a needle right now?
alexsanjose: if you come across in humans in Central America who have bitcoin gambling operations and
they want
to
talk
to a reporter,
tell
them i dont bite alexandra.alper@thomsonreuters.com
BingoBoingo: Well,
tor always sucked,
there was actually a not horrible Cracked article on
the subject
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: On point B
the us has an impact in
that it makes
tor suck
mircea_popescu: i don't imagine
that a)the us legislative process has much impact on us reality ; b) us reality has much impact on online reality ; c) btc has much
to do with online gambling
BingoBoingo: Per FINRA,
the Federal Reserve, and Reality.
alexsanjose: independent of
this whole us gambling regulatory backstory
BingoBoingo: Even in
the US I have yet
to se a bank car with lites, sirens, and surly black cops played by Sam Jackson
mircea_popescu: or in
the words of bogart,
the fixations of some people in
the us don't amount
to a hill of beans in
this large btc world.
TestingUnoDosTre: but if you
tried
to make a connection, if you REALLY stretched
mircea_popescu: alexsanjose it would seem
there's no particular relation.
alexsanjose: so
the question is whether bitcoin -- which is outside of
traditionally banking -- allows bettors and sites
to sidestep all
the regulatory hassle (in addition
to lowering costs, etc_)
alexsanjose: but as soon as
the bank does
that,
they can go after you for fraud, money laundering,e
tc in addition
to violating UIGEA]
mircea_popescu: wtf weird country is
that.
the merchant/customer specify wtf
the
transaction is
alexsanjose: these are anecdotes from people in
the industry anyway
mircea_popescu: since when do banks classify
transactions saying it;'s
to x or
to y ?
BingoBoingo: The cashier had
to put my vodka in a paper bag. Was
that sketcy because it was concealed?
alexsanjose: or a runner ould show up at your house for
the cash
alexsanjose: banks would have
to misclassifry
transactions
mircea_popescu: because
the bitcoin poker site was doing great in 2011, and is dead now.
alexsanjose: but
they had
to resort
to really sketchy stuff
to get money fto and from clients
mircea_popescu: it may not be "just poker", but
the case of poker seems
to go exactly against
the
theory it benefited.
alexsanjose: so by penalizing
the payment process,
they brought banks into it
mircea_popescu: and
the one poker site which was doing great in 2011 and 2012 meanwhile died.
alexsanjose: because
the 2006 law makes it illegal
to accept payments associated iwth "unlawful: online gambling
alexsanjose: but it became increaseingly harder
to process payments
alexsanjose: because after 2006, and especially ater 2011 when
the doj shut down
the
three major online poker establishments
that us plays could illegally access
BingoBoingo: alexsanjose: Whatever local paper it is quarentined
to will piss off
the 95% of bettors not
there
alexsanjose: do u
think
that online bitcoin gambling has benefitted from
the
troubles regular online gambling outfits have faced -with paymnet systems since UIGEA?
alexsanjose: if it s happening
there, i need
to bring in
that element
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i dunno what sense
that makes. so you play blackjack in
tokens, and
they have a random value each day.
this deters you from playing blackjack ?
mircea_popescu: one question lingers. did you lie earlier when you claimed you can't do
the article unless it's somehow related
to... costa rica (?!) ? one'd have expected your interest
to die
there, were
that factual.
BingoBoingo: This is exactly
the difference between NeoBBQ and actual returns
ThickAsThieves: like bitcoin gambling is somehow doomed due
to its volatility
ThickAsThieves: i agree
though ive seen recent articles disagreeing with
that mp
mircea_popescu: but
this is all speculation, and not
too well grounded.
mircea_popescu: people who gamble wouldn't conceivably be much deterredf by
the risk
that
their payoff is multiplied or divided randomly.
ThickAsThieves: itd probably grow in some proportion
to bitcoin's growth
mircea_popescu: other
than
that, quite impossible
to call
trends. maybe it's growing.
mircea_popescu: alexsanjose i don't imagine
the usg is any sort of actor in
this discussion.
alexsanjose: i m almost done, apols for having
taken up so much of your
time
TestingUnoDosTre: speaking of which,
that oil futures bet is really delicious looking.
too pansy
to bet on a side
though :(
alexsanjose: do u see bitcoin gambling spreading? despite
the regulatory push in
the US and people s fears about volatility etc?
alexsanjose: i dont have a law degree. i did cover
the CFTC for a while
mircea_popescu: you're not in any sense qualified
to discuss matters of law, are you ?
