asciilifeform: damned if i remember.

asciilifeform: i.e. pop her cherry, when the time comes

asciilifeform: i recall reading some chinese chick's 'story of my sad life' book in american school, and she described her arranged marriage, and how the husband-to-be kept repeating 'kai-gwa!' or how he will 'open the watermelon'

asciilifeform: i'ma guess you're grunting through something like http://scrammed.blogspot.com/2014/10/code-obfunscation-mixing-32-and-64-bit.html

asciilifeform: nearest, i think, would be BingoBoingo .

asciilifeform: though - for what i imagine are good reasons of his own - he likes to entertain guests under open sky, rather than at home.

asciilifeform: sometimes i wish i could meet everybody's strange mental picture of everybody else.

asciilifeform: i wonder what else pete_dushenski can't quite fathom

asciilifeform: (library and gym are the ~only places i still frequent there)

asciilifeform: explained why i saw an entire rubbish bin full of them the previous night.

asciilifeform: i recall an article, ~5 or so years ago, in uni. of maryland newspaper, about a fight in uni library (!) over a deck of pokemon cards.

asciilifeform: i saw grown men dressed as that thing, in bmore

asciilifeform: hey i had this as pc game!111

asciilifeform: prolly quite enough to die at least decade sooner, and that is supposing i eat no moar of it.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: but hey, i 'made up for lost time' later, had my share of petro-rubbish in usaschwitz.

asciilifeform: was it in a mircea_popescu article that i read 'rat does not know where he will eat, but knows that he ~will~ eat, and delights in the disjunction' ?

asciilifeform: all i ever changed were the buttons.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/eu-tinar-8.jpg << l0L!! i still have ~that~ coat

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'which meant that out of a hundred or so kids eating in a large room, I was the one getting the chicken meat parts. Which I didn't like, nor ate, because they were inferior bits to what I normally chomped at home, and they consequently didn't interest me, notwithstanding that most of those children had never in their life eaten meat. Supposedly it was good for them, right ? Vegetarianism is the future and all that ?'

asciilifeform: and - do i need to draw a picture, or is this obvious ? - they are free to ignore it; or they may not even GET the message; and are guaranteed to get it, IF they get it, at different physical TIMES

asciilifeform: (though i suppose it could ~store~ the key-rated-key item as easily as anything else could)

asciilifeform: i can almost picture this.

asciilifeform: also i dun see the connection with wrestling (in what school do little kids not wrestle one another?)

asciilifeform: i did not go to ~these~ schools, no.

asciilifeform: in one of the american schools i went to as a kid, they had 'magic the gathering'

asciilifeform: (but of ~what~ now, i have deeply nfi.)

asciilifeform: i'd be surprised if even today schoolboys did not have these 'spontaneous monetizations'

asciilifeform: i remember ~all of these.

asciilifeform: phf: holy shit, i half-suspected i had the last extant examples.

asciilifeform: or did i dream this.

asciilifeform: ('in what?' 'in this big pot of real money you idiots gave me for them, that i PROMISE!1111 never to spend')

asciilifeform: i see 'coloured coin' as a fundamentally distinct type of chumpatron, 'let's monetize blue Turbo chewing gum wrappers!1111' 'and oh btw i totally don't have a shoebox full of blue'

asciilifeform: i personally played with massive shoebox of rubles as a boy, and buncha other folk here also.

asciilifeform: i was thinking of direct analogue of 'coloured coin', that is, 'issued' by derp who has 0 connection to the mint

asciilifeform: i knew it! mircea_popescu will answer 'that one time in new york in '68...'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the 'segwit' thing is, as i understand, intended as a protocol hardfork - to isolate trb users.

asciilifeform: then i gotta.

asciilifeform: this is not only angled as 'we'll sell i-cant-believe-its-not-bitcoin to rubes', but also piggybacks on honest nodes' storage and bandwidth.

asciilifeform: or 'not-quite-blocks', 'segregated shitnesses', or what are they calling pseudo-blox today, i lost track.

asciilifeform: how am i to count the hands, i dun work there

asciilifeform: i imagine fella means something quite different from 'every man has own v-tree and can apply patch he bought in back alley if he likes.'
