diana_coman: asciilifeform, I don't know what
that would be based on really or why you'd put it in
diana_coman: asciilifeform, he had *his* option
to be part of
tmsr and she had *her* option
to be part of it; he did not
take it on account of "but I earn money now and I'm building mah future at
this great company" ; she
took hers discarding
the earn money now and
this great company
mircea_popescu: "well... it's not broken now, is it"
this is how people here repair my cars. "is it ok ?" "sure, nothing's broken RIGHT
THIS INSTANT" "this is a german car,
that's not what ok is."
mircea_popescu: so in
the end, it becomes a dispute over present-value-evaluation. if you have
two hats, one of which will break next
time you use it, do you have
two hats ?
mircea_popescu: "up until
that point where you
take
them
to
the recycling plant door and one is refused,
they're entirely
the same
thing right, hold fluid"
mircea_popescu: it seems, if one's inclined
to generalize,
that both sexes of a species are
the same species, much like both recyclable and non-recyclable bottles are "bottle", in some sort of sense
that doesn't make any sense in examination.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the irritating problem is
that while
the
two characters are fundamentally disimilar, nevertheless
there's superficial similarities
that rankle. both use a language
to communicate what appear
to be
thoughts, and both can emulate formal logic in
their own wetware
to reliably come
to
the same
true/false values

the grocery store

the wall or any authority; however, I do have a 'cage', collar, and a really cute headband...' >> lol win, oblig >> 'Yea, a
trooper of
the forces who has run his own six horses!' (tm)(r)(kipling)
mircea_popescu: anyway, speaking of which, isn't it a wonder all
the "secret services assassinations" etc don't involve a simple "replace shower gel with nitrobenzene" ? evidently
they can get hotel maids
to perjure
themselves in
the most ridoinculous way possible, why not something incomparably safer ? not like
the usual fucktards would ever give up
the "conference" life
mircea_popescu: and no,
there's nothing wrong with saying "universally, except for
the morons". car
tanks are universally filled with gasoline (except for
the morons -- such as
those who
try straight
toluene, or
those al schwartz speaks of, or etcetera --
there's no "consensus" escape from reality, and so in plenty of cases
there's no difference between divergence and idiocy)

trinque: asciilifeform: how many males do you know
that'd be a sweaty flaccid mess
turning on a dime and dispensing with whatever life, however meaningless, on
the spot.

☟︎☟︎ trinque: dunno
that I share
this static view of humans. gonna be interesting
to see what she gets whipped into.
Mocky: ok, word is: no family in
the region
mircea_popescu: but yes, she's not read nearly enough
to be capable of penmanship in anything but
the common low style. yet.

mircea_popescu: even
the momentarily-still-alive ones are very arguably significant at all.
mircea_popescu: tha fuck does
this even mean ? how can it possibly be significant if defunct ?!
mircea_popescu: "Jake Joseph Paul is an American actor and YouTube personality who rose
to significant fame on
the now-defunct video application Vine. "

top for a bit. Looks like
the most mysql ever
takes is ~6.6% of memory. fwiw I'm just using
httpd (not sure if
this would be a factor in mysql memory usage, but only difference I can
think of between our LAMPs)
☝︎ BingoBoingo: <diana_coman> I did hear a lot of dutch and german
too,that is
true; but all
the dollar-prices and loads of English spoken and
the baked in assumption - American, I don't know << Lots of Germans passed
through
the hostel (less
than Latinos/Brasileros)
they speak English because
their hollywood ended in 1940s
diana_coman: come
to
think of it, maybe americans were simply so loud and rather obnoxious
that
they were more visible, huh; doing some counting here I remember
there was even a rather large group of ...italians, lol
diana_coman: it's unclear
to me only if
the similarity goes
that far since at least in RO people *wanted* passport or afaik many americans don't see /conceive/think of
the need for passport, so possible one up
diana_coman: I did hear a lot of dutch and german
too,that is
true; but all

the baked in assumption - American, I don't know
diana_coman: asciilifeform,
their contact is "tourists are american and give us lots of money" from what I can
tell
mircea_popescu: imagine
the reasoning of little girl, "mommy, mommy, isn't my skirt much better now, i put some mud on it"
mircea_popescu: if
they were rid of
the moronic usgistani monkeys on
their back,
they'd be
truly happy people.
diana_coman: child had a small ball and apparently
there was a rule
that no balls allowed in park; so before we even got
to
the gate, one guard was
trying
to convince me
to hide
the ball in a jacket (I had no idea wtf for, it made sense only on hindsight); at
the "control" I simply said
that ball stays in backpack so it's not a problem and
they ..were fine with
that
diana_coman: asciilifeform,
they have laws and rules but basically
they don't really apply
them , at least not in
the manner you
think of "apply"
diana_coman: o.O what, I broke
the law by wearing leather shoes and sandals??
diana_coman: the "kind" people who "won't kill" I guess; I really don't have any other explanation for
that shit
mircea_popescu: byzantium was both richer and larger
than rome
throughout
the entire xtian period
mircea_popescu: after
the western world brought
the benefits of democracy
to
the byzantines,
the latter also stopped using it.
mircea_popescu: "stench as lasting as
the color" says
the ancient source.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform smelled such
that it was specifically a cause of divorce among
the jews
mircea_popescu: (and since we're doing notes : anna porphyrogenita has an ancient name, which approximately meant
the same as "comely". Ἄννα Κομνηνή, anna
the comely. looks nothing like noether!)
mircea_popescu: special greek
teacher had
to be imported, and was
the only and first one in century+
