to
that
thread on btctalk.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: American gas grills
typically
top out around 600F at a cooking height above
the burners. Because we suck. (problem can be remedied by using acetylene instead of propane
fluffypony: I'm with BingoBoingo on
this one - if you're going
to sear a steak...
benkay: hot enough for Maillard on
the surface?
benkay: there are
tradeoffs everywhere.
fluffypony: plus a charcoal braai is a South African
tradition, we even have a public holiday
that has become Braai Day (nfi what
the actual holiday is for any longer)
BingoBoingo: I haven't seen many gas grills
that can get hot enough for steaks.
fluffypony: gas doesn't give
the meat
the same flavour
benkay: no i mean
takes me back
to middle school when i was learning
to grill caveman style
fluffypony: BingoBoingo:
that's
the way forward, I
tend
to burn my meat a lil' on an open flame, but in
the Weber I can shove
the coals
to
the side and let it cook at leisure
mircea_popescu: this was open gas oven. not ideal, but i found a way
to use
the cast iron pan's handle
to prop
the door open just enough. gets it reasonably cool.
fluffypony: although I
think I'm over pork ribs, going back
to beef
BingoBoingo: Sometime
this summer I want
to
try a standing beef rib roast on
the kettle grill.
benkay: caught a message in
the middle of marinading pork over
the weekend, f'r instance.
benkay: to be fair
to
thestringpuller mod6 and i've been unpredictably online lately
BingoBoingo: benkay: I still get hangovers because I drink
to win.
mircea_popescu: poor guy. we love you still
thestringpuller, it's just cute is all.
benkay: leastaways, i assume
that's what mircea_popescu 's on about
mircea_popescu: works. show up on some sort of romanian
time
tho, otherwise we'll be all
thestringpullering
this for a week :D
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: If he's amenable
to
the
thing I'll probably be inclined
to
try it as
there's a bit more details nao. I'm going
to drink on
this idea and let
tomorrow's hangover show
the way.
mircea_popescu: course gotta see if
the guy's amenable
to it
too, but otherwise should be win-win-win, he gets some activity, you get more
trading experience, i get some gains or w/e.
mircea_popescu: anyway, my idea is, ima open an acct, give you 10 btc or w/e, you can
trade around but not withdraw.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: I don't
think I've ever worked
to narrow a spread. I've
tried
to keep
the ATC spread as wide as Hilary's ass.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: can't be much volume
tho?
mircea_popescu: on
this
tiny romanian exchange Naphex's been
trying
to get into shape
BingoBoingo: Well,
the outstanding student loan debts make holding any substantial USD impractical
mircea_popescu: it's basically just a scaled up version of
the atc
thing
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I don't
think I have
the
time
to effectively do btc/usd artbitrage
mircea_popescu: anyway. BingoBoingo how would you like
to do some btc/usd arbitrage for me
too ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Now I'm going
to have
to digest
that entire site's
text
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Very interesting. I was actually
thinking about maybe going cheap and just canoeing
the mississippi and gulf coast
to Mexico
BingoBoingo: Well most of
the communication with
the lawyer has been either in person or over
the mail.
benkay: granted, my clients are small and derpy with
the
technology.
benkay: asciilifeform: and yet i have
to explain
this
to just about 1/3 clients.
mircea_popescu: last
time i used stamps i was making lolpasties for
tits.
mircea_popescu: "here's a debentures package in exchange, worth 5
trn. good deal for you"
BingoBoingo: Still
the other medium of exchange (stamps) have a fixed value outside
the prison
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
they do,
to
the same degree huge sums move in us banking system.

The Daily Beast
mircea_popescu: holy shit.
this is almost as good as
the music industry.
mircea_popescu: "Once
the
tobacco is on
the compound,
the pouches wholesale for 50 books of stamps, or $300 each. Each pouch is
then broken down into 80
to 100
tiny rollups
that cost one book each, or six dollars. A $3 pouch of Bugler ends up retailing inside for about $600—a 20,000% markup."
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Maybe
that powdered alcohol will be cheap enough
to build a rocket, because I don't anticipate it being very drinkable.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I saw. Seems I'll have
to work on clearing up
that awful pending legal matter so
that I may cross borders next year.

Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu.
fluffypony: oh it was mentioned in
the context of Mirceanomics
fluffypony: weren't we
talking about quantum computing earlier?
fluffypony: ThickAsThieves: I bet
they
thought
that was a good idea at
the
time
ThickAsThieves: against rape are lies. (Insert obligatory comment about reading
TFA before commenting here.)"
ThickAsThieves: "o, it's not. It's a public statement made by
the director of a
TV show which implies
that if a woman being raped begins
to enjoy it, it was never rape in
the first place.
This is worthy of discussion since it is
tantamount
to saying
that all women enjoy being raped because deep down,
they all love it, and all of
their screaming and crying and desperate fighting
to defend
themselves
ThickAsThieves: required
they no longer
take a % of
the company for
themselves as a requirement
to presenters
ThickAsThieves: the missus informs me
that part of Mark Cuban's renewal contract with Shark
Tank,
bounce: now you know. PSUs die
too.
ThickAsThieves: i
thought my backup drive died while away,
turns out it was just
the power supply
bounce: right,
that's
the first one I head about.
there's a few more
that produce a similar
thing
these days
though.

mircea_popescu: kinda what business is, staying above of an ever rising
tide of sour.
