thickasthieves: the headphones really weren'
t designed for the velvet pads and the sound becomes obviously worse to any ear
fluffypony: but smaller than a standard rack since it doesn'
t need all the extra fluff on the sides and back
fluffypony: my parents let me watch all measure of stuff, but Total Recall was bad because they didn'
t want an 8 year old believing that girls had 3 boobs

t allowed to watch because it had a chick with 3 tits in it"
cazalla: mike_c, only thing i dislike about m50s is the soundstage is a little too small for fps gaming, i switch to my speakers when gaming but they aren'
t gaming headphones to begin with so isn'
t a big issue
mike_c: cazalla: m50s is cheaper too, just b/c it isn'
t 'current year model'. sound is supposed to be the same.
cazalla: mike_c, didn'
t know they had an m50x, i still think i'd go the m50s due to no coil and i would likely lose the cable if i could detach it anyway
mike_c: yeah.. sennheiser doesn'
t have velvet.
mike_c: yeah. won'
t matter for computer.

t actually attack babies. you're thinking rats.
mircea_popescu: <decimation> 'don'

t like, m50s does not
decimation: I find earbuds and the like extremely uncomfroatble, you aren'
t going to get better quality than bigass headphones
mike_c: i mean, i don'
t need cancelling. i don'
t want to hear surrounding noise.
decimation: 'don'
t talk politics around the table (so we can just eat)' -> 'don'
t question the code(so we can just use it)'
mircea_popescu: the solution is to open the whole thing, let the market drive it down to zero, then you won'
t care someone made fifty bucks or w/e.
decimation: I can'
t imagine a way to be more ignorant about a business and its prospects
mircea_popescu: much like you know, trying to prosecute "buggery" because people who don'
t have sex don'
t want to think of sex in terms of "all holes, dp and your girlfriend". as if.
mircea_popescu: "insider trading" is what trading is. irrespective of what people who don'
t trade wish to think trading is.

t fix it until I get back next week. Sorry folks.

t comprehend what random means << 'random' is simply a non-scientific qualifier. like 'big'. << looking forward to reading medicine treatises in similar terms. something tells me teh colonies will soon deliver.
decimation: ie as long as the peasants are fat, dumb & happy they don'
t give a shit what the remote lords might wish, even if on paper the peasants are in charge

t comprehend what random means.

t see those anymore. Was quite annoying and barely helpful.

t know enough about mm to comment really)

t live long enough to see any of their social security tax payments, given that the retirement age is 65 years."
mircea_popescu: jurov i don'
t get what it'd be supposed to do tho. you mean dial-up access only ? anyone can connect to a website on dial-up as it is.
artifexd: I don'
t understand this “burning bitcoin" concept. Bitcoin are destined to be one of the most valuable commodities that have ever existed. Burning them is just dumb. Plain and simple. Dumb.

t he make a sikrit forum where he derps with tortilla and some glbse bagholders ?

t, even if she may be too stupid to realise this.
mircea_popescu: nobody flunked her, because you don'
t flunk well behaved girls. and so... she made it through. parents beamingly proud.
mircea_popescu: she came. for four years, that poor unfortunate soul sat there, dreading the moment anyone asked anything. because she knew she couldn'
t cope. just smart enough to smart.
mircea_popescu: now among this dozen, there was a mentally retarded girl. she wasn'
t badly touched, maybe 80 or so. definitely enough to take care of herself. definitely not enough for high level math. her parents however were i dun recall what academic country gentry, and so they insisted she go.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: then the ministry decided it won'
t ok a 18 student class. so they took a dozen the kids that had fallen through 3 normal classes, and had not found an alternative hs in the dozen or so top highschools around. and put them in.
mircea_popescu: Pierre_Rochard the objection here isn'
t on the lines of business. she looks like she could raise a million dollars on the vegas strip np

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it also doesn'
t ship with any particular rule as to how it is to be employed or manifested.
mircea_popescu: "I don'
t think an average man can pursue women effectively if he is primarily thinking about how good sex will feel when he gets it. That just isn'
t the right mindset when a man has to chat up dozens of women before he finds one with whom sex is a reasonable possibility." holy shit, with what woman is sex not a reasonable possibility ?!
mircea_popescu: "By the first time I had "sex" (depending on how you define it, since I took things in stages) I had already endured years of frustration and humiliation of an intensity that I don'

t see that as an argument at all. just... you know, drool.
mircea_popescu: there are very few fields where women / men competition doesn'
