nubbins`: sandwiched with layers of
tar paper
moiety: mircea_popescu:
that's so cute. it just needs broadband and its perfect!
nubbins`: they use a flamethrower
to melt coal
tar all over it
BingoBoingo: Maybe I should get
the next roof done in pitchblend!!!
KRS-One: i dont know what
tar pitch is
nubbins`: the
top of my roof is
tar pitch
KRS-One: thats really neat
to have history behind your home.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Or
to many other places.
The most recent local
tornado didn't come within a mile, but other weird wind anamolies still had
things impacting
the roof in interestng ways
nubbins`: BingoBoingo: you'd need
to
truck in soil
KRS-One: thats what i have, wood shingle..cedar. Its one of
the best you can get.
BingoBoingo: KRS-One: Most of
the world operates on
the assumption shingles move
the water
mircea_popescu: KRS-One
that may be generallky
true, but i come from
transylvania, which invented wood shingle roofing.
KRS-One: if it werent for
the sun and other
things you dont even need shingles.
KRS-One: mircea_popescu: depending on
the roof,
the shingles arent what keeps
the water out. main protection for a roof comes from
the
tar paper
that covers
the wood. shingles only keep
the sun from runing
the
tar paper.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo well detcord would make your house move somewhere else
then
moiety: did you guys see
the £150 house
that gets rented out for milk?
nubbins`: my home is quaint, but only because of
the lack of detcord and kitty litter
BingoBoingo: detsord would never work with
the weather here.
moiety: I'm scared
to see your homes....
moiety: i
think my roof might fall off. i saw slates outside on
the ground
nubbins`: "know what'd be a good idea? if none of
this shit was right angles"
BingoBoingo: Well,
the boring olf gasoline car mechanic
that fixed
the mess I made
trying
to fix
that saturn made decent money for his
time.
KRS-One: i was stupid. i went
to college.
KRS-One: moiety: yep. marine and diesel mechanics make most i
think
KRS-One: took forever
to get him
to do it
tho
moiety: this is why its good
to know a mechanic
too
KRS-One: it nice
to know a roofer..i got a new roof put on my house for real cheap, just labor and materials.
mircea_popescu: “Since we’ve been sitting here on
the phone, I’ve seen
three emails come in.”
KRS-One: so bam
this might be nice coin
BingoBoingo: KRS-One: In
the US
the only
thing you can acquire with a license is risk and liability
gesell1: mircea_popescu:
there were $40m worth of BTC waiting on Gox on one reddit comment
thread alone.
that could create resources
KRS-One: i have
to speak
to an attorney
to see what kind of liability it opens me up
to..supposedly i can do it with no risk or liability.
mircea_popescu: gesell1 i
think you grossly misrepresent
the substance of
the sort of clueless idiots
that still; had btc on gox.
KRS-One: he is real dumb and needs me
to get a roofing license (take exams and shit) said I can make $100K/yr without doing a
thing just holding
the license.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'm
the other end of
the state.
KRS-One: nubbins` you aint kiddin..except he's
the business owner
gesell1: i assumed/hoped
that
the class action litigation
that gets
the most attention from
the community will wind up with
the most resources
to devote
to getting possible results
moiety: is it just me or does
that lawyer dude look a wee bit like simon cowel?
nubbins`: and he'll be
taking orders from a guy
ten years his junior
nubbins`: that said, his body will be wrecked by
the
time he's 45
BingoBoingo: I really don't understand
the point of retaining an unconnected lawyer
mircea_popescu: (they also represented
the Blagojevich dood. also for free, also
to no particular effect)
KRS-One: he does
the easy shit and runs a crew
KRS-One: I have a friend who is a roofer who makes as much as an attorney and
then some.
mircea_popescu: anyway :
their
top claim
to fame is
that
they settled an amazon cas for ~150k
gesell1: mircea_popescu: at
the moment
there appears
to be only a few places
to go. or only a few lawyers persuing
the issue
mircea_popescu: judging by
the school he went
to, he's being supported by either generous parents or generous husband.
nubbins`: gesell1, it's called bernankoin i
think
mircea_popescu: and if he actually manages
to get some dough from
tibanne, all
the better.
kakobrekla: so
they are not really getting paid as you said but whoreing out
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla
the lawyer wants bitcoin fame.
that's free
to him, as he has no cases anyway.
kakobrekla: the only way out of here is bernankecoin
the way i see it.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla
the way
the legal profession works in
the us is
that sometimes lawyers
take cases for free, when
they figure
the bread is buttered on
the other side.
BingoBoingo: kakobrekla: Around here most lawyers handling
those sorts of complaints work on contingency, so
they only get paid if
they win
kakobrekla: you gonna lose more coins suing
than gain
MisterE: but if
there is you can be sure lawyers will get
theirs
MisterE: oh, I doubt
there will be anything of value left for creditors
gesell1: MisterE: no im just in
the initial stages of contacting each and every collective
that is gathering
to sue
mircea_popescu: MisterE i'd be much surprised if
the lawyer charges anything.
MisterE: talk abotu
throwing good money after bad
gesell1: is
there a problem if I pursue mtgox from 3 different lawyers at once?
MisterE: last
thing I want is
to support her phone
MisterE: I dunno it's
the GFs and I dont go
there
copumpkin: MisterE: I hear it gets better with
the latest 7.* update where you can disable effects
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: It is why I only use lawyers with Drive
throughs.
mircea_popescu: gesell1 yes, it usually helps if
the lawyer putting
together a cas is smart.
copumpkin: nubbins`: yeah yeah, but
they don't let us downgrade, so oh well :)
mircea_popescu: MisterE ikr? at least
they could have
the decency
to get
the salmon colored models.
BingoBoingo: gesell1: Ah,
that one. I just prefer
the lower parts of
the state.
nubbins`: copumpkin, generally it's less of a good idea
to update ios after new hardware comes out.
gesell1: mircea_popescu: i have no idea. does he need
to be?
MisterE: I look around me and everyone's face is buried in
their phones I
think its sad
copumpkin: I made
the mistake of installing ios7
nubbins`: copumpkin:
there's an easy solution
there ;p
copumpkin: iphone4, so slow it's
too unpleasant
to use
gesell1: BingoBoingo:
the lawyer you linked
too
mircea_popescu: and
then
the whole universe of social media sites will lay open before me
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i mostly use it because it's full of derps of
the "holier
than
thou" school of assholery.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well
Twitter's upside is
that you can school someone in front of
their internet friends and make
their internet friends wonder why
they associated in
the first place.
copumpkin: I bet you're paying someone
to
type
these messages right now, while someone else is giving you a rusty
trombone
