BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: You can'
t believe what an asset not reflexively being afraid of black people is in this region.

t an unfamiliar creation in the region as many "coal city"'s existed which were named not for their coal mining.
mircea_popescu: just the poor hedgehog, with his tiny feet couldn'
t really keep up
mod6: you'd think they would want to destroy those and the nukes. but they won'
t, because they can'
t see the forest through the trees.
mircea_popescu: an infinite supply of such examples is how the idea that normal people aren'
t entitled and shouldn'
t be entitled to an opinion came about.
mircea_popescu: in the moment they FEEL they're just like you. then later, they're no longer around to eat dirt, and if they are they won'
t eat the dirt anyway.

t much overlap between mpex investors and play exchanges
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: well we don'
t know the full story. there could be large withdrawals going out of MPEx << as opposed to…?
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: well we don'
t know the full story. there could be large withdrawals going out of MPEx

t want to do this but you asked for it. prepare to be glassed.
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: BingoBoingo: the hospital would have taken note of who took the bullet, no? << well if they didn'
t, either the police comissioner hangs or they got themselves a police state.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, wasn'
t that the end of the Romanian revolution?
mircea_popescu: nubbins`: is that the app that lets you anonymously tell women you want to cum on their tits? <<< you know, this is very popular with a large section of the female population, but the woman that wants dribbling by random people she doesn'

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: (other than a library) << "there isn'
t where
t og oin the usa for aspirin other than pharmacy". o woe ?

t have anything."
usagi: I also imagine the restriction would also allow you to increase or reduce the ratio of fast twitch fibres, because theoretically the body wouldn'
t toss out muscle mass which is being frequently used

t need and which interferes with your motion

t be horrible down the line
RagnarDanneskjol: ha - pankkake - I don'

t be too big
RagnarDanneskjol: does anyone know the appx current size of ATC's blockchain (in GBs)? I know i could just look @ the blockcount & calculate, can'

t raise a cautionary flag… THey hired one of my best devs to adapt a python arb model… Payment commitments to said dev got a little squirrely. Also, I volunteered my own time to fix their website, redid all the html, css, wrote most of their content and they kind of blew it off without even a
mircea_popescu: decimation: mircea_popescu: minor nitpick - I don'
t think USG employees get dental actually << generally no, but afaik nsa folk do.
mircea_popescu: that much doesn'
t even annoy me, my problem is that he without exception ends up pleading to ignorance, to numbers, to baculum, to some fallacy.
mircea_popescu: doesn'
t say anything useful. to fish water is as unremarkable as air to you.
mircea_popescu: specifically : just because you're used to zephyr's inconveniences to the point you don'
t notice them anymore
mircea_popescu: living makes one live, this much is agreed. merely pleading to ignorance isn'
t much contribution (and his tendency to plead to nonsense is why i dislike curtis)
decimation: as ascii's quote of Mr. Yarvin points out, one would then make themselves a slave to Neptune, who isn'
t a forgiving master
mircea_popescu: in this sense, global warming would be a boon for humanity, if it weren'

t need "air", you need oxygen. oxygen is in water, and not expensive to get out.
decimation: right underwater the ride is great, but you need energy source that doesn'
t depend on breathing air
ben_vulpes: decimation: aren'
t they most stable subsurface though?
ben_vulpes: just because it makes sense to mine high-density rare earths from the seafloor doesn'
t mean any significant number of meatwads are going to be living subsurface.
mircea_popescu: you know it's bizarre, because it didn'
t work that way in romania of yore. we had a pretty sweet tacit agreement where the slower girls could copy for exams. generally there was a boy-genius in charge for any subject (chemistry was HARD and a chick did it, but otherwise was boys) and the guy in charge usually prepared a "for the class" version of the test (something that gave good marks but was a) comprehensible for th
mircea_popescu: "just because you say goto 10 don'
t expect me to care, nitwit"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: but for desktop machining - perfect. so long as you aren'
t in a hurry. << well no, see, electricity is still sold by the watt. whether you're in a hurry or not, you still need same wattage, so still are beholden to the same (rather high) cost. so i suppose "so long as you're making something small enough for your fun doing it to be worth the 0.001 cent to 1/4 dollar price transition"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: with little-to-none attention to principles << the reason would be that chemistry is not a science. physics is the science. if the kids wanted the principles they'd go for physics. if they didn'
t that means they don'
t wish to understand the thing, but merely you know... be engineers :D
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal: I just don'
t get why they think it's all about some party << because if it's about something in their system then that validates the system in question.
decimation: unfortunately the encoding jokes don'
