shinohai: works off gravatar I see?
shinohai: I see it now thanks
pete_dushenski: given that it'd be 9 months since zooko's pathetic 'white paper' i thought usg.idjits had given up on him altogether, but i guess the etherape forced them to reconsider even their most ill-advised projects and implement anything at all if even just so they could keep talking about themselves
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: http://qntra.net/2016/10/what-is-the-difference-between-bill-clinton-and-bill-cosby-a-qntest-with-bitcoin-prizes/#comment-76521 << my cultural contribution for the week. it's what i could muster.
pete_dushenski: needless to say i've doubled down on my meatspace wagers. even if i never set foot in the states again, trump WILL get me paid.
pete_dushenski: i dun even think i ever HEARD of a dude getting lid with a dome on. it'd be like fucking an earhole or something.
a111: Logged on 2016-10-28 17:24 mircea_popescu: i suppose i'm the weirdest person alive then a) never had sex without a condom ; b) never had my cock sucked with a condom.
asciilifeform: (i can't think of any other)
a111: Logged on 2016-10-28 20:15 phf: for apple people here, i guess, ben_vulpes? https://twitter.com/stroughtonsmith/status/791872723681239040 "Touch Bar runs watchOS, and macOS sends it framebuffer data over USB. This presumably then relays multitouch events back to macOS."
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-28#1559853 << There's 3 days left until the weens are hallowed. Who else other than diana_coman and danielpbarron has stories? Or at a minimum speculums of where I'm taking Elliot and James. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: trinque: i have no words

shinohai: I fucked up and put an apostrophe in there, but oh well
shinohai: I used that as basis for my Qntest submission: http://qntra.net/2016/10/what-is-the-difference-between-bill-clinton-and-bill-cosby-a-qntest-with-bitcoin-prizes/#comment-76612
BingoBoingo: My the goings on in the world. What a week to be celebrating continuous sobriety! And I haven't even had my cake yet!
mircea_popescu: i'm sorry, i wanna rephrase that. because they really meant anything other than "you're this dubiously sexed derp who's going to end up with a buttfulla dick because the other dude said so."
BingoBoingo: lol trinque "On the plus side I'm not technically a virgin anymore I guess. On the con side everybody who called me a faggot in online video games is now technically right"
mircea_popescu: lol all the low effort two line trollage. "o dudes gotta pua and lay bitchez!" "oh i blackmailed this chick and she cried the whole time"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo that these exist and are distinguishable from fag hags in the field i knew before. then it dawned on me what a field day it must be in the days of reddit etc.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "i'm a woman that only fucks virgins ama" too.
mircea_popescu: i suppose i'm the weirdest person alive then a) never had sex without a condom ; b) never had my cock sucked with a condom. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> africa-levels, i shit thee not << Northwest Ohio!
asciilifeform: africa-levels, i shit thee not
a111: Logged on 2016-10-28 15:49 trinque: I guess it is, from a perspective
mircea_popescu: (for flavour : the girl that delivered it did so wearing nothing but an apron she had made. which looked great, especially on her. and this morning was... making her shoes. so i was like...oook, what have i done here!)
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-28#1559721 << i am too busy eating my chocolate-strawberry cake to hear you. ☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-28#1559724 << gold. q: 'i want a deterministic system that behaves securely.' a: 'i know! let's make a dogvomit mold simulator!' ☝︎
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: le i don't need one ~that~ bad
pete_dushenski: phf: fair enough. i actually use acd+eizo(prosumer) combo at home. it's definitely a minefield but i'm very much content with the ev2455 or whatever its called.
trinque: I guess it is, from a perspective ☟︎
phf: pete_dushenski: i looked at eizos, but it's another minefield. they seem to have a "prosumer" line, that's the same trash you get elsewhere. and then there's pro line that's 2k+, but you can't just judge by the price. gotta know what you're doing. hence hunting for apple cinemas, i know they worked well for me in the past.
phf: i have two but i want to replace my office monitor, it's a giant dell and it's giving me a headache
pete_dushenski: phf: i have 24" and 30" next to me here. found both for sale on kijiji (cdn craigslist)
phf: ha, i'm at this moment trying to find a couple of matte apple cinema displays. they seem to have completely disappeared from ebay/amazon/... (they've been discontinued for a while now)
asciilifeform: i have a similar display here, it is barely adequate.
shinohai: I enjoyed the recent story of the Mexicans that kidnapped fellow paisanos from the local Home Depot and forced them to work on their marijuana farm.
shinohai: Now I wonder if these particular Romanians didn't study crime with Dr. Evil or something: http://archive.is/sDD9l
asciilifeform: i still dun get why folks put their sybils on 'amazon' etc.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i thought he was pretty lulzy, "how about we just call the election off and say i won"
mircea_popescu: and unrelatedly, G.I. Dependopopotami-to-be : http://66.media.tumblr.com/fbb5c3bcfc57dadb7d5fb9bc3f69321e/tumblr_nzipc6zss61qdtr76o1_1280.jpg
BingoBoingo: God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change. Courage to change the things I can, and Wisdom to know the difference. This falls under "serenity to accept" as it is little business of mine how the evil empire intends to end itself.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nah, I mistimed that statement vs RSS bot
asciilifeform: there are ants in there, i entertained the hypothesis obstruction - was an ant..
asciilifeform: and like complete idiot i was crawling around inside laser cabinet with a motherfucking obgyn mirror, looking for crud in the beam path..
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform fwiw, i don't think much of ortega y gasset's notions of what makes the man. "sense of duty" my left foot.
mircea_popescu: if i were 20 again...
asciilifeform: i can almost picture the committee, 'how can we move to making this box entirely, instead of merely largely, useless!'
shinohai: http://archive.is/3RcBq "I don’t lie but I frequently misunderstand because I’m highly intellectually intelligent.”
shinohai: I didn't expect it to gain traction for at least 24 hours.
shinohai: I give mircea_popescu 666 flotsam in the morning, he grows horns in the afternoon.
mircea_popescu: i link to youtube and i horn people. whatever, it's my sweet body and i do what i want!
mircea_popescu: other things i've done today : girl bought some rubber doodads with a vacuum sucker at one end and a clasp at other end, i've been wearing them attached to forehead like horns.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo i think one's caught in filter ?
mircea_popescu: THIS i am reading in the papers of the day ? i could shame the grandfathers with my stories!
mircea_popescu: i have lived the best life anyone could have ever lived. fucking period.
mircea_popescu: i just did.
mircea_popescu: i just ruled it out.
asciilifeform: i'd rather play 'ranger' for msdos
shinohai: I'm sure the Texas voting machine glitch from yesterday will add gas to that fire.
mircea_popescu: i think it's from a series of action movies
asciilifeform: 'i'ma blow my chin off, twice for good measure'
shinohai: thestringpuller: I loll'd at your FagicalTux tweet
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-27#1559429 << best icecream on the east coast is this place http://www.franklinfountain.com , they hand make it too, though i'm sure the ingredients suffer (the milk particularly is probably not argentinian level) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: it is so much better than anything i had before even shitty icecream here beats good italian stuff
shinohai: Is there good ice cream in Argentina? Here everything tastes artificial ... I prefer to make my own.
mircea_popescu: bitchez today be cray, man. i tried to take one out for icecream and she wouldn't come because she has to prepare for burlesque show on friday.
shinohai: I have a sleeve of those in my kitchen. I should set up a vodka and lemonade stand outside my apartment and see what happens.
shinohai: I'm not picky.
mircea_popescu: hmm i suppose that didn't come out quite right. you know, pusstard as in pussy custard.
mircea_popescu: but i had no planE!
mircea_popescu: besides, i think there's ~a century worth of pent up blue balls. american girl gotta suck some dick.
asciilifeform: i could picture this if votes were actually counted.
asciilifeform: phf: and i'll raise you a https://archive.is/3hylC
mircea_popescu: but it's not at issue whether it's real to me. it's real to you too, and verifiably so by you too, i don't have to enter into it.
phf: ah, actually it's my bad. they also have when-let* that makes clauses depend on each other and shortcut on first failure. this is in parallel to let/let*, where let doesn't guarantee order of execution, so i guess shortcut makes no sense. a very pedantic take on the problem..
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski i guess it depends. seeing how this is just absence...
pete_dushenski: but in the same way that 'russia is doing propaganda but we're just having open debate that spreads democracy', so too does 'he has belief not me, i have usg.facts' 'work'
mircea_popescu: i dunno what he means, tbh. as far as i'm concerned, if she's obedient and tall enough there's exactly nothing more one can ask. if you don't like her tits you talk to a doctor ; if you don't like her ass she works out, each day, every day. all good ass is made not fallen from the sky, there are no excuses. if she doesn't know shit you teach her, if she has bad habits you train her, there's really naught more. this is a belie
mircea_popescu: i also want drunken hussies.
shinohai: So what does the Jew say "I want a get and 99% of all you own?"
trinque: it's kinda interesting... the muslim guy says "I can't have a woman, so I'll kill everyone for god" and the christian says "I can't have a woman; god please kill me"
shinohai: In the US, I'd wager most dumb theives couldn't work the paddle shifters anyway
danielpbarron: and re: "dubiously faithed woman" ; yes that's actually what I prayed for: that she be won over to salvation or that we never get together, so that I would not be tempted to lose faith
danielpbarron: mircea_popescu, i wouldn't call bitcoin or the republic thereof your core beliefs. I'd say it'd be your stance on women and the poor.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i had nfi. still don't really.
ben_vulpes: even i know about the tingler
diana_coman: fwiw to me daniel's posts on this + the thoughts expressed here on the necessity of shared "core beliefs" to qualify for friendship etc sound as an elaborate form of "I'm on my own, it's terribly lonely and it hurts"
mircea_popescu: in the same vein i don't think i ever discussed the republic so far, a testament to how it's not a household item and so nobody knows to ask. i don't think i much care about anything else, and still i can't bring myself to give a shit about what anyone thinks of these, because why would i ?
mircea_popescu: and for that matter, i dun think http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-26#1559249 works for me. i dun volunteer bitcoin discussions socially. ironically i'm apparently famous by now and people bring it up a lot, so i tend to answer whatever questions they got, but that's the length of it. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron oh i c. so by now "i ask god to please kill me" reads more like "thanks god for ridding me of this dubiously faithed woman and her lures" ?
danielpbarron: eh i was feeling pretty low at the time
danielpbarron: and this is a very easy way to sort people that I meet. most people cannot stand to hear about it at all; a few can stand it, but they are not sincere
mircea_popescu: i dunno man... isn't this a little circular ?
danielpbarron: i know before the hurt whether it would hurt or not
mircea_popescu: hence the expression "what do i care, i'm not married to it."
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron that's not very practical then is it ? having a multitude of varied, various and mutually-irreducible friends is the cornerstone of anchored sanity, i always thought.
danielpbarron: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-26#1559191 << not just muslims; most people on earth. those who believe like I do are the smallest minority ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i guess.
mircea_popescu: hard to tell. i thought they mostly involved the same bad fanfic writers who do all the other shit for playboy's "mail from readers" section
PeterL: I thought stories of "impaled by horse" usually involved a man, not woman?
