t get back to you the other night, lady friend dragged me kicking and singing to Karaoke

t share the power rangers' suspicions of Werner Koch.

t cook, they can'
t fuck and they think they somehow matter.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i still don'
t know why anyone in his right mind would go to that stinky, crowded, desperate shitstain of an island.
JorgePasada: "Ok I'll let you in, even though I shouldn'
t. Don'
t come here again without a plan."
JorgePasada: "How do we know you won'
t stay here if you don'
t have a return ticket?" - 'For starters I can work from wherever I want and It's 3 times the cost of living here..."
JorgePasada: "What do you mean you don'
t know?" - 'I mean I'm going to a wedding and it's in 3 days and I have a phone and the internet'
decimation: you don'
t need a visa but the queen wouldn'
t mind a tenner
JorgePasada: mircea_popescu: wolud be funny but physics wouldn'
t let that happen, at least no mix of physics I can think of
JorgePasada: don'
t think about that stuff too often, but that's what kept us alive all these years
mircea_popescu: (contrary to common belief, a ton of gold isn'
t that impressive a pile_
mircea_popescu: <assbot> German Gold Stays in New York in Rebuff to Euro Doubters - Bloomberg <<< well the problem there is that it;s damned hard to move something that doesn'
t exist.
decimation: giant mountains of trash aren'
t my problem :)
cazalla: i don'
t think ddos is counted
cazalla: i didn'
t up you knowing you were going to promote that shit
cazalla: A guy told me one time.. do not let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.. why didn'
t i listen lol
cazalla: or she didn'
t actually read the article
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: and the rawlsian lottery is presumed to include only them <<< ahhh, excellent point re the "inner light" stuff. it wasn'
t directly apparent,
mircea_popescu: i still can'
t shake the same bemused, "wait, did the monkey srsly just try to shoot me with a stick" disbelief whenever confronted with it, to this day.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: that is, 'slavery is bad mmkay because what if you were a slave' << lol i remember an encounter with this in kindergarten. substitute whoever attacked some longstanding privilege of mine that i meanwhile forgot with the totally unexpected "can'
t do that, because what if all the other kids want it too ?"
mircea_popescu: just like a professor won'
t have the mp superbity to go into the review meeting hands in pockets and deliver a stern "fuck you, i'm doing you a favor being here, now you prove yourselves to me and then go home."
mircea_popescu: Those who are arguing about the cost of healthcare or think that poor people are lying to get benefits are completely and utterly missing the point of the system. It wants this in the hands of doctors, because it would be toxic to everyone else. Can you imagine your Senator deciding who gets benefits and who doesn'
t?"
mats_cd03: legitimate grievances or not, i don'
t see a problem with taking up arms in support of wutever they believe
mircea_popescu: it's funny how the history of that thing went. it was about as retarded as lesswrong, originally, a sort of obscure livejournal clone populated by worthless shut-ins (which doesn'
t mean alkl shut-ins are worthless).
mircea_popescu: well the advantage to us being two different people is that our data doesn'
t match.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i guess now i'm stuck doing a rawls is a clueless ignoramus masquerading as a philosopher (if the "american" part didn'
t give it away by itself), inept enough to present mere circular reasoning as "moral thought"
BingoBoingo: If this lottery were a think, gut bacterium probably wouldn'
t be the worst outcome. At least gut bacterium lack the faculties to realizes it is going to die for the cause of turdbuilding.
cazalla: technically, you can'
t even carry a screwdriver unless legitimate reason
punkman: I remember buying bread knife in UK, cashier advised "don'
t open it before you get home"
mircea_popescu: on the other hand, outside some very narrow applicaitons such as i dunno, oversized icecream cones, i don'
t actually use nor would i want to use a plastic spoon. because what for ? do i need it to eat my campaign flan and i'm too far from an actual table with actual cutlery or something ?
mircea_popescu: in other news, overweight redditards don'
t go out of the house for fear of rapists. not as you might imagine, for lack of long enough tanktracks
mircea_popescu: i don'
t get this braindamage. "we're the most secure option because you don'
t actually own your keys" ?
mircea_popescu: "We wondered why nobody fixed the issues and made things easier for the many out there that aren'
t computer engineers. After some discussion with a few of the developers we came away completely surprised. They thought, and still do, Bitcoin is fine and very little needs to change."
mircea_popescu: "What would government involvement in Bitcoin look like? Well one of their first goals would be to let the project stagnate. The disappearance of the founder "Satoshi" and appointment of Gavin Andresen, someone who has publicly admitted he doesn'
t want much to change in Bitcoin allows us to see one big reason for stagnation." << from the solidcoin derpage.
decimation: also note he isn'
t actually soldering anything together
gribble: Error: User doesn'
t exist in the Rating or GPG databases. User must be GPG-registered to receive ratings.
nubbins`: they don'
t touch on that at all
decimation: I don'
t get it, some blonde rambling is loathesome?
cazalla: <asciilifeform> cazalla: ^ consider for 'qntra' <<< amusing now that i've googled what a solder bridge is, i wouldn'
t want to add it and act smug as if i knew prior though
cazalla: who is gonna use such a thing? i don'
t even need to be technically minded to know there is no chance i would use a wallet with a camera
cazalla: asciilifeform, don'
t forget the camera
undata: it wouldn'
t shock me if people have some hard-wiring to accept abuse from authority
mircea_popescu: as it happens, i've been saying exactly that. course, the honest libertarian apparently doesn'
t personally use the terminology of some random polis to describe himself, nor does the random polis readily recognize him, and so... seth's safe.
cazalla: for trading pokemon, you know, so i can point and say hey, you said you would deliver pokemon xyz and you decided to back out at the last minute, don'
t trade with this guy
mircea_popescu: curious that the "advanced northern europe" isn'
t coming out with "brevik is pretty much our greatest achievement",
kakobrekla: "they didn'
t officially delete it" < lol
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: this raises a question, can schizophrenic even use pgp as intended? <<< well if he has split personality, then they won'
t know about each other's keys.
mircea_popescu: somehow people don'
t seem to say the same about athletes.
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Don'
t worry. You don'
t need meat. Protein is fine, have Prion jerky!

t gone to trial yet
xanthyos: hyde doesn'
t know jekyll's passphrase
xanthyos: what my "aura" isn'
t enough guys? clearly it's me.
xanthyos: so then i guess just as ratings can'
t be moved accounts probably can'
t be renamed
xanthyos: my question was only if there was a way to merge so rerating wouldn'
t be an issue if one could prove via gribble to simultaneously own two accounts
mike_c: where "good" really means.. i don'
t think there is a good reason.
mike_c: my $0.02 is I wouldn'
t re-rate without a good answer to that question.
xanthyos: i can'
t go into that without giving explicit private information
xanthyos: but the security isn'
t my question
