told about 'nonstop' and continue
to suggest radio
transmitters. inattention, or willful ignorance ?
BingoBoingo: Well, when I sent a picture of what was
then simply known as "the plant"
to
the Venezolana (still in Venezuala on family business), she asked if it had and name and... Ya
ta
BingoBoingo: I also get one classic method
tv channel of unknown (maybe Argentine?) origin
BingoBoingo: Well, It's a missouri sized country
they are broadcasting
too and
they do
the digital video
thing with some sort of error correcting mechanism
BingoBoingo: Mind all of
the local channels come from antennas within 5km of here
BingoBoingo: It is indeed
the antenna, and it catches all of
the local channels.
BingoBoingo: In still other discoveries of
the day
they have a deli meat here. It's like mortadella and morcilla had a child on a bed of black pepper.
mircea_popescu: sometimes you sound like you just got off
the set of a chaplin movie.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-30 00:21 mircea_popescu: and steam excavators
to dig
them.
BingoBoingo: And I
take it you don't have need for a single purpose dishwasher.
BingoBoingo: If she's eager but otherwise inept,
there's always holes
that need dug
BingoBoingo: In
that case you could get her delivered
to your mountain and get a start as a banana plantation owner.
BingoBoingo: Have one of
the other classmates set her up a bouncer?
mircea_popescu: and holy shit what am i going
to do with
this dumbass.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i for one am amused by his easy slide from "why do you like"
to "why do you need". obviously i don't fucking need a waitress, yes i can have my own sluts do it for me, and on (rare!) occasion i do just
that. but why
the fuck would i
trade slavegirl
time for minwage
time, for one, and why
the fuck would i have
to ~like~ having
to do it.
mircea_popescu: there's no shortage of work
to be done, and nothing wrong with relief from
the menial.
mircea_popescu: maybe she's
tailing
the soviets. maybe she's picking up random dutch
tourist girl. maybe she's just having a snooze.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-24 16:31 asciilifeform: it went approx like
this, iirc some
time in 2016 : asciilifeform : 'if quality slavegurlz can be
trained
to do anything , mircea_popescu couldja spare 1 or 2 for ada battallion ' mircea_popescu : 'hell no, why would i waste any on such a
thing; what next, i will ask asciilifeform
to do field work detail in
their place ? '
mircea_popescu: it helps
though if your neighbour harbors no airs or delusions of self importance. it helps IMMENSELY.
mircea_popescu: and people who will stop
traffic
to pull your car out from
the mud because you stopped
to
take pics. and in general, you don't want
to fuck your neighbour specifically,
the little you fuck (and it IS little, boyish fantasies notwithstanding, one competent, well
trained woman can exhaust and keep exhausted a dozen or more men) can very well be imported.
mircea_popescu: it delivers
the
things you ~want~ from
the general population, eg, grocery bag boy who is, genuinely and
thoroughly, deligted
to bag my ~500 worth of imported french wine and whatnot. and he'll
take
the
time
to roll each bottle nicely in
thick paper, if i want him
to. and he'll hitch it all
to a cart and follow me
to
the car, and be so fucking
thrilled he got a fiver for it.
mircea_popescu: yes, as
to
the climate, it's perfect and eternal spring. yes, as
to
the land, it's fucking beautiful, and
the pineapple is fabulous and
the coffee is best-in-the-world and so on.
mircea_popescu: on
the basis of extensive experience i'd guess
there's high five
to six figures females potentially interesting
to me alive at any given moment. and yes i intend
to see
them all before i die.
mircea_popescu: intellectual sophistication
to cut it as a slavegirl in my harem. i said before, "There's not who'd compete and
there's not how
to compete with her, it's a laughable proposition, like a samurai at a kindergarten." and yes
that is after
training. but all
the
training in
the world can't help
the instant kindergartner.

think mircea_popescu benefits
the more virginal
the peasants are around him. easier
to source untainted (?) bulk meat of four legged and
two legged kind
mircea_popescu:

this is absolutely not
true. after months during which i had my girls scour
the place (and seeing how
the population isn't all
that much, i do believe
they
touched personally every single individual female
that could perhaps be worth my consideration)
the net result was epsilon. most of
the bootcamp population is imported here, and for very fundamental reasons : it
takes ~a lot~ of
☝︎ mircea_popescu: ie,
they're cows, minding
their own fucking business of cowsing. how can one
take offence with
that ? and how could one, even if momentarily offended by whatever matching of circumstance capable of
tricking his eye, how could one not, on
the second pass when one always
thinks about
things, not realise it's really his fucking problem,
trying
to affix veils
to veals and whatnot ?
mircea_popescu: meanwhile
the
ticos are ~coffee farmers~, ie, you realise, mountain fucking people, and
this is NOT
the same, i've never met plainsdwellers i could stand. and
they pretend
to nothing whatsoever, but
they are specifically and openly dedicated
to
todo bien.
mircea_popescu: nd insisting
there's no difference between vamp in her make-up and
the very pig with lipstick.
a111: Logged on 2018-07-29 14:03 asciilifeform: asciilifeform's puzzler is , re how mircea_popescu gave verdict 'argentines are subhuman' but
then moves closer
to equator, where monkeys , and somehow
there - 'not subhuman'
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-07-29#1838170 << argentines are literally and without exageration a bunch of soy farmers who pretend FOR NO REASON conceivable, a circumstance of which
they are aware AND PRETEND IT DOES NOT MATTER! AT ALL!, pretend
they say
they're something in
the vein of "third power in europe". and
that
they might have such
things as submarines, and so on. it's literally pig going

mircea_popescu: kinda like
the revered mirvniki of legend,
takes 100 of
them
to make cvasifunctional approximation of human agent.

that's not a fair comparison, if nothing else gulag still was _men_ wrestling raw matter from
the earth in extreme environmental conditions, and succeeding. whatever limited

this is very much
the salient point here.

they of
the spanish-mediated variety as in "whatever survived onslaught" or
the dutch&english mediated varieties, as in "we withrew

☝︎ mircea_popescu: it's what i'd expect an industrious 9yo with unlimited materials &
time at his disposition would
turn out.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i
think
the zinc'd sheet item is 100% made by hand with hand
tools. hands of people not even particularly strong.
mircea_popescu is actually quite curious if esthlos managed
to do
two days yest :D
☟︎ phf: asciilifeform: while idly researching camping stoves, i recently saw a lulzy video of an american
trying
to light a polish camping primus and failing miserably (the manual dexterity (???) required for
the pre-heat phase was apparently
too much for
this particular specimen)
diana_coman: asciilifeform, fwiw my reading of
the matter is "less pretense"
phf: i
think mircea_popescu benefits
the more virginal
the peasants are around him. easier
to source untainted (?) bulk meat of four legged and
two legged kind
☟︎ phf: can't burn
trash and flotsam in a primus
phf: you know how when somebody says "she's like a pig" and somebody says "that's not fair
to
the pig, pigs are noble creatures"
phf: they were still men, doing
things.
this is, like your quoted item, half way up a
tree
phf: asciilifeform: it's not a fair comparison
to gulag folx
a111: Logged on 2017-12-08 15:02 asciilifeform:
the 'good climate makes folx lazy and slowly climbing 'back up
to
trees' ' item is an old saw, but i'm not aware of any major hole in
the
theory
phf: asciilifeform:

the earth in extreme environmental conditions, and succeeding. whatever limited
technological support

☟︎ mircea_popescu: obvious she "goes
to friends for advice". what fucking friends ? what fucking "advice" ?
the world hasn't worked
that way in
two centuries, if i want a shirt i want 1 in 1000 shirt shops, if i want a woman i
talk
to candidates selected
through
three
to five passes with
two
to
three degrees of magnitude lossage each...
mircea_popescu: basically a platform
to explore
the woeful mismatch between
the inadequacy of ye olde fiat institutions and
the far reaching powers of
the network.
mircea_popescu: in fact,
there's
this group of weirdos on reddit who
train children
to pretend
they're
the missing children of other people.
mircea_popescu: it occurs
to me, here's a good idea for a film :
this woman loses a child, like it disappears. and
then a year or so later it is found!
mircea_popescu: in other news, "nudo" is how you say knots in
this country. because obviously nudity and
tries go
together!
BingoBoingo: Seriously
though a more detailed update on
the state of Casa Boingo is indeed baking
BingoBoingo: It's how
these
things work. Yesterday I went
to
the electric company office
to correct a bunch of mispellings and sign a contract for
the power
they have been delivering here. Monday I get
to go
to
the fiber company office for similar reasons
trinque: lol,
this "I have beef with someone on reddit"
thing
a111: Logged on 2016-09-17 16:55 asciilifeform: yes. and it made sense
to me in '07. but not in '10 when i understood how
the actual extant pc iron works.
fromloper: Ya... if I feel
the pain, I own an FPGA I might play with.
