a111: Logged on 2018-08-30 18:35 mircea_popescu: alright. there's nothing wrong with "well... item i was working to rewrite for the past x weeks and was going to have done in 1-3 more weeks decided to critically crap out today ; my choice is either to be down for the remainder 1-3 weeks or else to duplicate/waste an estimate of y hours of work to get the old shiot back up hopefully by z. god damn."

mircea_popescu: apparently, one of the more famous pieces.
Mocky: mircea_popescu, was there an ro trilema piece about games of either balance or catch? iirc i couldn't make heads or tail of the auto translation some months ago
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2009/politica-pe-inteles/ << and the final bit in this lengthy enumeration, 2009 piece on politics saying... ~same things. except "Pana cand internetul va ajunge la nivelul de dezvoltare tehnologica care sa permita in sfarsit renuntarea definitiva la sistemul reprezentativ, " (aka, "until the internet will reach the level of development that'll allow the permanent dropping of the representative system") mea
lobbes: http://trilema.com/2010/dau-o-suta-de-lei/ << "Lowell, Mass, 2005" still weird to think that mp was at one point ~1.5hrs away from 17 y/o lobbes (who, at the time, was probably busy picking nose and "making flash websites"). Ah wasted youth
ben_vulpes: ah teh barge
mircea_popescu: which is a nice place for a good reason. this being the reason.
mircea_popescu: and ftr they're not sluts, they're just normal adolescent girls. FROM EUROPE
mircea_popescu: hey nicoleci here's something for your burning interest re "ye olde pr0n days", courtesy of the fellow engineers in #trilema, cuz if he'd never have asked i'd prolly never have released them : http://trilema.com/2011/nsfw-gradina-edenului/
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes try now ?
ben_vulpes: is associated in my head with a post i recall as "river of sluts", which i'm sure has an actual title.
ben_vulpes: i recall this
mircea_popescu: i suppose i shoulf fix this huh!
mircea_popescu: quit doing it but never bothered to undo the old ones...
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes if you click them ? yeah, at the time trilema had a "premium" feature, you had to pay to get full size pics
mircea_popescu: and that'd be it for now.
ben_vulpes: all of the pics redirect to random trilemaz
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2010/dau-o-suta-de-lei/ << lulzy check where ro kids couldn't guess the identity of a folgers' coffee can
mircea_popescu: (o and btw, that trilema header of a very young me lounging in a white suit on a bench outdoors, is very much on san antonio riverwalk, cca 2005)
trinque will have going through these in just a bit, gotta afk for a while

mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2011/amintiri-din-texas-partea-cu-poze/ << literally, "remembrances of texas, the pictures section"
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2011/radio-vocea-americii/#selection-25.0-33.296 << back when texas made it illegal "to touch private parts of a person as a precondition to transportation or access in a public place". 138-0.
mircea_popescu: aaand ye olde story of busride, http://trilema.com/2011/are-you-a-muslim/#selection-51.0-55.347 (though it says virginia, but im pretty sure it was actually southerner than that, retrospectively).
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2010/servicii-de-taximetrie/#selection-53.35-57.49 << me being very impressed with san antonio taxi service (i used to own a taxicab fleet, and im the curious and inquisitve fellow you all know and occasionally love, so it's not exactly amateur hour).
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 20:19 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform to illustrate the "10`001" species, did i ever recount the time my toilet was clogged... by an aligator ?

mircea_popescu: trinque pretty sure i told it before ; but let me see if i can fish any texas stories from trilema.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-30 18:48 mircea_popescu is quite curious if this transparent trinque plan at starting a genuine fortress goes anywhere.
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-30#1845880 << it may just end up an orbital refueling station, but that'd be fine by me ☝︎
mircea_popescu: diana_coman lmao! they have a point
a111: Logged on 2018-08-30 18:52 mircea_popescu: pulled out an immense colt from her old lady purse and blew the kid's head all over the store.
trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-30#1845884 << this is a beautiful anecdote ☝︎
diana_coman: there was some museum exhibit along the lines of why is italy shaped like a boot? because so much shit would never fit in a shoe
diana_coman: well, in italy discussion of everything that is shitty will never end so...
mircea_popescu: the time being 90s.
mircea_popescu: nuts. apparently it was a very shitty bridge, though i don't recall this being known/discussed at the time. ☟︎
diana_coman: I certainly went by car over it more than one time but years ago so...
mircea_popescu: ikr ? i... actually drove over that thing.
mircea_popescu: southern portions of italy were always dubiously in europe. but ye olde french, austrian an' german empires still work admirably well in this base sense.
diana_coman: except the Morandi bridge and possibly more of Italy from what I hear
mircea_popescu: but the deep reasdon europe is tiny is because there's ~no wilderness, everything's built up, you can walk from town to town in less than a day without exception (this is not coincidental, either, but deliberate, civilisational checkmark at a time before train was "from church to church in one day", and applied as such on us east coast for instance). there's roads everywhere, they're reasonably good (certainly better than neg ☟︎
mircea_popescu: well, "short drive". 800 or so miles, which to me still counts as "one day drive". as opposed to say 2.2k miles portland-austin.
ben_vulpes: i'd written europe off largely on the basis of 'natoreich', but if there are habitable holes i'd rather live in stone than plastic
mircea_popescu: if you've never lived in yurp it's not really something to pass on.
mircea_popescu: moreover, housing much better and much cheaper than anywhere in the world, local transportation that actually works (srsly, two digit airfare across the continent sorta deals).
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes france is not nearly as much "in the eu" as you think, especially the occitan portion. morever, europe is tiny, vienna is a short drive away, the vienna of http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-18#1842767 ; and then hungary and serbia and so on. ☝︎☟︎
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Ah, this is true
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i believe there's costs to sending people alone, esp if the idea is they'll be forever alone. seems to me either strengthen outposts or start new ones ~very far away~. otherwise, you know what gerrimandering is ?
ben_vulpes: uruguay or sa most likely; while marseilles sounds lovely and i vastly prefer french to spanish it is unfortunately in france and so also the eu for the forseeable future. pretty fed up with not living near major airport hubs; access to surf also a criteria for expatquest
BingoBoingo: I hear good things about Santiago, Chile
mircea_popescu: should it suck, you wanna try fortressing uruguay or hk/taiwan ?
ben_vulpes: and should it suck, well, i've at least snipped the girl's attachment to the easy comfortable lifestyle of the pacnw
mimisbrunnr: Logged on 2018-08-30 15:17 Mocky: as an aside, I discovered the rationale behind the need for CS threading library, and boost for that matter. i.e. that incoherent c++ memory model prevented reliable semantics for multi-threaded access beore c++11, so they rolled their own and in the process had to also roll compatible data structures
ben_vulpes: north of california, west of the rockies the humanpaste is ~entirely undifferentiated, curious to see if this holds for louisiana, tx, fl. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: san antonio was you know, proper champagne for breakfast on the riverwalk and things.
ben_vulpes: pretty grade a story, am looking forward to meeting different americans
ben_vulpes: is this why you're always going on about san antonio?
mircea_popescu: pulled out an immense colt from her old lady purse and blew the kid's head all over the store. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: whereby the mayor was awarding whatever cert to an 80yo lady who, while the diner where she was eating was being robbed at gunpoint,
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes my first experience of texas was waking up in a small town which was having a ceremony that morning
ben_vulpes: im also evaluating this claim that the lone star state is somehow not the same thin plastic veneer over zamac the rest of the country's made of. it at least has endogenous oil stores and the locals carry a reputation for being profit minded
mircea_popescu is quite curious if this transparent trinque plan at starting a genuine fortress goes anywhere. ☟︎
ben_vulpes: a bit, yeah. i've also lived in the same libtard shithole for nigh on three decades at this point; far past time to meet the rest of america. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: but anyway, dun sound like much fun, i hope you're at least making some dough out of all this.

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-30#1845827 << well... april's a long way past october, so there is that. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: kinda how the ideal failure mode of usg mind hooks goes : it's effectual for the intended target and meaningless for the rest. monsanto idealia.
a111: Logged on 2018-08-30 16:46 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-30#1845810 << fwiw i saw it in newspaper in '90s, thing never made any sense
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-30#1845822 << you weren't in the demo. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (i suspect, incidentally, that the above template is the #1 bane of republican effort in the years to come, chiefly because the #1 impedance mismatch we encounter is between uptime and rewrite, a manifestation of the old design-reality diphoria.)
mircea_popescu: in fact, there's everything right with it : both communicates reality and provides hooks for the rest to help.
mircea_popescu: alright. there's nothing wrong with "well... item i was working to rewrite for the past x weeks and was going to have done in 1-3 more weeks decided to critically crap out today ; my choice is either to be down for the remainder 1-3 weeks or else to duplicate/waste an estimate of y hours of work to get the old shiot back up hopefully by z. god damn." ☟︎

lobbes: Still, I see what you mean. Was dumb of me to leave the 'legacy' logs dead in the water while folx wait for 'new and improved' logs. I'll work to get the legacy logs back to updating tonight.
