trinque: I think his seated 8 or so.
trinque: I don't think I'd ever fly something small that didn't have one of those ballistic parachute things
asciilifeform: if i knew how to fly airplanes, i would easily be in empty field in some kansas even now.
asciilifeform: i was actually considering the flying death-capsule for my own arse. because my physical presence in the swamp is called for maybe once or twice in a month, and with many days of warning.

asciilifeform: i'd sit on a bed of nails for halved rent.
asciilifeform: i did sit down in one not long ago
asciilifeform: i have not flown even a kite in recent years.
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: here's a thought re earlier thread, i wonder if joestack-airplane would easily pay for itself in that you could live in an unpopulated shithole and commute in it...
mircea_popescu: Shemin said he had voted Democrat every election until this one. “I believed the promises of the Democratic party and I realized I’ve been let down every time especially by Obama,” he said.

mircea_popescu: i think it's the worst film ever made.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-09#1564499 << honeslty i think florida does that just for the drama. "get numbers from random.org for the last 3 digfits" ☝︎
asciilifeform: aha, and i gotta wait for mthreat to write his masterpiece 'how to mig', and then read it !1111
ben_vulpes: i've no idea, but i get "doll spooked" somehow
trinque: florida being the infested cock that it is, I wouldn't be surprised if they're still farting around tomorrow
ben_vulpes: but let's put it like this -- i'd not have to pay for pilotage
ben_vulpes: i wouldn't know, was never interested in license before
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i confess, i have not followed subj -- did it get more painful under obummer ?
pete_dushenski: aha. ben_vulpes does own wrenching on old murican metal. i enjoy the relationships with my mechanics and learning about how each of them is designed as various pieces break and sundry fluids leak out.
pete_dushenski: i enjoy objets d'art
asciilifeform: aah i laboured under the impression that pete_dushenski is one of those odd folk who enjoys operating weird vehicle.
pete_dushenski: anyways, for as much as i love cars, i'd be quite content to have a chauffeur 95% of the time. and for flying a chauffeur is just fine by me 100% of the time.
asciilifeform: if i had to pick, i'd rather burn in a plane, more humane.
pete_dushenski: because i don't want to 'have accident' ?
asciilifeform: in other 'news', i ended up learning that entirely working 1-2seat petrol-powered airplanes cost less (secondhand) than pete_dushenski's cheapest car. how come he ain't got one yet ??
asciilifeform: i quite distinctly recall this nonsense last time, btw, where the 'real time tickers' shows 0 'blue' until last possible moment, to maximize obummer turnout.
mircea_popescu: in other insane gambling, i did a ~50 bitcent eulora click earlier today.
pete_dushenski: just even money. i'm a generous soul like that y'know.
pete_dushenski: i actually leveraged the democrat shill's 'data' to double-down on one of my bets lol
pete_dushenski: 95% of the ~talk~. lol people don't put their money where their mouths are unless i goad them into it.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: what am i, general aladeen ?
mircea_popescu: i c!
shinohai: ha I recall Black Snake Moan a few years ago, some weird chick watched it with me.
pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-08#1563985 << and how! so eager, so hungry. the youf there are as close as i've seen first-hand to 'blue jeans'-level of adventurousness. whatever tensions between east and west are going on there are working like a charm. it's like the european philippines or something, everyone you meet from there is as friendly, hard-working and unpretentious as they come. ☝︎
pete_dushenski: i bet a few different meatwotters on the us election outcome. shillary was shoe-in for 95% of 'educated' folks up north.
shinohai: http://i.imgur.com/gRY0uIq.jpg
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: holy doodle i'd no idea
asciilifeform: i will believe mircea_popescu if he says this, personally i must admit, never bought even centimetre of this pipe.
asciilifeform: i have 0 ideas on the topic, only what's in the lint trap.
mircea_popescu: i think it's a decent meme. "don't make me make you suffer the."
mircea_popescu: i guess we'll ping Guest83897 re http://qntra.net/2016/11/soylents-attempt-to-scapegoat-soy-sinks/ lol
asciilifeform: i do not expect to see any beautiful solutions to the mining problem.
asciilifeform: i would say, if i did.
BingoBoingo: not that I've seen. Recent set of debug.log lines looks normal http://wotpaste.cascadianhacker.com/pastes/yzxom/?raw=true
Framedragger: i think so, yeah
Framedragger: BingoBoingo: "Digestive intolerance of unfamiliar plant proteins is not an uncommon phenomena" -> phenomena, i thought, refers to the subject, i.e. "digestive intolerance", which is a singular (not many phenomena, but a single: intolerance)
Framedragger: BingoBoingo: s/is not an uncommon phenomena/is not an uncommon phenomenon/ (singular, not plural) i think?
asciilifeform: i had never previously seen these iirc.
trinque: same, though I went last week. only lulz were some old guy yelling at staff about how he's been voting for 40 years and so on.
asciilifeform: i have nfi what the latter refers to.
mircea_popescu: make it illegal to medicalize convenience, of all kinds. i get it that it'd be convenient for the politicians if the doctors distributed social payola to the poor under the pretense of "health". dun work that way regardless.
PeterL: I thought that was one of the things obummercare was supposed to fix, but it seems the only options offered are hyperexpensive
PeterL: I don't expect car insurance to be covered by my employer, why is health insurance different?
mircea_popescu: PeterL right, because if i put more people through the clothes shredder i'll get more supermodels right ?
PeterL: well, there was a visible change in the reported polls over the last couple weeks, that is what I am referring to
PeterL: and reports are that it will go up ~25% this year, I think that may have been one of the things tipping the polls away from clinton at the last moment
Framedragger: i thought part of the fuck up was "what happens if you pass half of the bill through". something like http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-15#1542331 ☝︎
Framedragger: but i thought it was just a negotiating tactic by the republicans - had happened before
mircea_popescu: no, i mean obama fucking up with his healthcare bill and nearly sending the country into insolvency thereby.
PeterL: prog: puts hands over ears "la la la I can't hear you, you racist!"
PeterL: I have seen a bunch of memes popping up on arsebook praising Obummer for having "8 years with no scandals", they seem to forget that the scandals plaguing Hillary stem from her time as part of the Obummer administration
mircea_popescu: ima man up and admit i have nfi what i'm talking about then!
PeterL: people keep telling me that a vote for Johnson is a vote for Trump (because it is somehow stealing a vote from Hillary, who we only want to vote for to stop the monster Trump), so I guess I voted for TrumpReich too
BingoBoingo woke up today an undecided voter. It was weird. I had every intention of voting for my boy Gary Johnson, but on the drive to the polling place uncertainty hit me. And this the 124th ballot in the 5th precinct of Helvitia township in Madison County, Illinois was submitted for the TrumpenReich
mod6: Mr. Popescu, Lords, and General Assembly: Today, I'd like to take a moment to observe and congratulate The Most Serene Republic on it's Second Independence Day!
mircea_popescu: what, "i make a loss on every sale but i hope to make it up on volume" ?
Framedragger: yeah i thought it was leftist weed central or sth
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you qntra or shall i ?
mircea_popescu: i guess that "firewall" was mostly made of shit.
mircea_popescu: i guess these must be the ones without diebolix machines ?
Framedragger: boy you should see the headlines on the most popular online "news portal". right now top page has "COULD THE THIRD WORLD BE STARTING _HERE_?" http://i.imgur.com/pwSfF1R.png
Framedragger: i see the point. yah, it's more funky that way
Framedragger: i guess the former may have more 'spirit'
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: i can't bridge the parallel in my mind.
Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-11-08#1563895 << heh! plenty o' russians in latvia. i think 2020 is the year when the eu bribe moneys for the baltics will begin to dry up, so maybe about that time? lithuania on the other hand is in full "satan putin is preparing for nuclear" warmongering mode. helps the centre-right party and its "foreign policy" line ☝︎
