trinque: lemme see if I can find
a link
trinque: maybe
a dog in there chewing on him or something
trinque: speaking of cheese pizza, there's
a video floating around that looks like somebody torturing
a kid in
a shower
ben_vulpes: and moreover if anyone had heard of usg.intel doing it as well, that's
a) fake news b) old news and c) standard diplomatic behavior...for us
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Trying, may just plop transcript in
a block quote
mircea_popescu: bitch, if and when i feel like buying you
a new pair of sneakers i know where the shop is and where i keep my money.
mircea_popescu: 15yo marches downstairs, "i am giving you another chance to buy me
a car"
mircea_popescu: check it out, judge "giving chance" ? what is this,
a romantic comedy ? dork with no tits and no clue "giving another chance" for someone to be her meal ticket ?
shinohai raises
a glass of hot tea in BingoBoingo's honor
ben_vulpes: and
a hispanic for labor secretary! so racist!
mircea_popescu: multiple incidents, including
a large and quite deliberate bonfire.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suspect you're right. of course,
a nation that deliberately destroys the memory of competence in the hopes of making life more comfortable for itself merely succeeds in making death that much closer. but that's another tale.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes it's well known by people in the know. nobody else, becauyse hey, nytimes has
a lifestyle section.
phf: i've been trying to track down whole earths catalog hypercard for
a while, but so far unsuccesfully. haven't tried hard enough though
phf: i briefly had an account on
a mac warez server, that you could only connect to using
a mac os 9 exclusive tool (in 2010!)
phf: which also meant that some guys were forever unobtanium. like phatansmagoria, i saw it at
a "legit" computer store once, but didn't get to play until i could lift it off tpb years later
phf: you'd basically save your change and not buy
a piece of pastry three of four times during lunch, so you could pick up one of those beautise
phf: hehe, you left too early. those cds were like
a boy's treasure trove box. you never knew what you're going to get, but every one of them promissed mystery ~and delivered!!!~
mircea_popescu: i thought there's
a service where you send them your mangled/burned/whatever bills and they credit it to your account.
mircea_popescu: former is starvation behaviour ; latter is retardation behaviour. starvation of
a different kind, of
a different part. no blood supply to brain.
mircea_popescu: mkay. 1. animals don't matter. ducttaping around
a chicken and fucking it for fun is not animal abuse ; 2. people are at the center. imagining the chicken is your companion IS animal abuse, in that you abuse the animal.
mircea_popescu: had me going for
a while, you know, cause obviously my retort was "what do you do when it rains"
mircea_popescu: and AT FIRST i thought she's the tits, because hey, seemed like she's aware of
a by now 20 yo mockery of the exact genre.
trinque: met
a chick in portland that literally made cat bowties
mircea_popescu: trinque they're hysterical with the self-identifying, too. "i do x-with-y dorkitude". you know, like "i'm
a doctor". "i paint seashells with nail polish"
mircea_popescu: that old phone provides
a fundamental lifeline. maybe god will call him on that phone any day now.
mircea_popescu: tell you what : those people are the quintessential hipsters. that's what
a hipster is, exactly that :
a bum. like orwell, like all the ironic waitresses / actresses of the west coast. bums. tramps. PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT AT HIME HERE.
mircea_popescu: yes but did you notice the old phone kept as
a statuette ? and the rest of the hipster dumbassery ?
a111: Logged on 2017-02-16 07:20 ben_vulpes: i know
a gent who is cursed with one of the later, more expensive models and he keeps it in
a piece of leather to hide the ads.
mircea_popescu: here, it's totally disconnected. you can go to
a pretentious restaurant, take an ill advised left and find oyurself in that scene from trainspotting.
ben_vulpes: facade of
a sushi joint's only shitter was busted
ben_vulpes: anyways, 9/10 places charging more than twenty dollars
a place had at least one busted shitter
mircea_popescu: who the fuck wants
a used 10 dollar screwdriver from the sidewalk ffs.
mircea_popescu: eh, cheap chino item. i set it on the windowsill. stepped inside for
a moment. wind rolled it into the gap. when i came back, 5 mins later... gone.
ben_vulpes: the mind boggles at the conspiracy of circumstance that would let
a someone near your tools
ben_vulpes:
a+ steaks and entirely friendly horsefolk too
mircea_popescu: well, it's about the size of
a medium sized mall's parking lot.
mircea_popescu: let me make
a point here. buenos aires and instanbul are about the same thing, 10mn+ towns, largest in their area etc.
mircea_popescu: if
a car doesn't go offrail there one of these days, argentina is outside normal physics.
mircea_popescu: ah, those. i went on the light rail here, it was
a spicy adventure. i don't think they EVER maintain the tracks. solid 10 minutes of screeching.
ben_vulpes: hey i found
a slut on the train to pycon one year!
mircea_popescu: last time i was actually on
a train-train i bought out the sleeping car and had the girls naked and rubbing before it rolled out of the station.
mircea_popescu: it's quickly becoming
a sign of idiocy, like going out in public in flip flops / hoodie or being fat.
ben_vulpes: i know
a gent who is cursed with one of the later, more expensive models and he keeps it in
a piece of leather to hide the ads.
☟︎ ben_vulpes: i am fond of the device. it has
a slow, but acceptable resolution screen for reading old texts of middling ocr quality, fits in jeans pocket. most importantly and differentiating it from later models, it shows no ads.
ben_vulpes: spoiler alert: it's called
a usb cable
mircea_popescu: learn this one amazing trick
a portland dad discovered that apple doesn't want you to know.
ben_vulpes: in other radiation damage, $client calls up, "hey latest chrome doesn't work with $app from inside the muni vpn" "...can you swing
a vpn or shall i get on
a plane?"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform why not guess the same but the other way ? "i never made
a budget in
a public institution, but if i had i'd know you always overprovision so the '''watchdogs''' can cut something and feel useful. i guess flynn was that."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform dude that is like the most inept scoring i ever saw. for one thing, trump scored like 500 touchdowns. for the other, srsly flynn is half
a point.
trinque: no denying flynn was
a "rein in teh shadow state" guy, and got popped
jhvh1: 8. Made
a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
BingoBoingo: Seriously fucking cultural marxism was THE soviet wunderwaffen. Putin is doing the world
a service by trying to disarm it.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> also note that if you built with malleus patch, you will be kickbanning prb peers as soon as they disgorge
a prbism of any kind (e.g., 'bloom filter' command) << Bloom isn't what disconnects most PRB nowadays. It is "BIP 151 compact blocks".
mod6: my test node gets bh'd all the time, still responds to rpc commands. i typically do the samething, stop. wait
a bit, restart.
mircea_popescu: i suspect one willing to live
a monk's year with this might end up with
a handful of servers inside ft meade in his hands.
hanbot: i assumed that entailed eventual unblackholing. granted i haven't had the patience to wait more than
a day to see.
mircea_popescu: the only way
a pie in the sky can even be eaten in the first place is this.
mircea_popescu: so yes, it's
a class warfare thing. two heads of the aspirational hydra - one that aspires through "stem" and the other that aspires through "business".
