asciilifeform: ^ d00d was famous for, among other things, having admitted that he ate for some length of time the cat food, and had nfi what it was, aside from 'it's delish'
asciilifeform: even when sovok croaked, i dun recall any 'emigre dissidents' being sent back into the crater to help usgificate, rather was done by entirely other folx + locally grown axe handles
asciilifeform: i have nfi how to even calculate 'worked'. at 1 time, during reign of kennedy, plan was to draft'em into an invasion army. this was done, it was turned into mincemeat, and afaik there was never any 'plan' since
asciilifeform: large zoo. e.g. 1 time i saw coupla 100 persia-flavoured 'activists' with pickets in front of wh, 'we demand bombing of teheran nao' etc
asciilifeform: ( for the innocent: at no public function in washingtonistan is 'falung gong' ever absent, and the presence is always in the form of 2-3 platoons of chix holding up posters of where supposedly 'they take us apart alive for organs' )
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: found, by way of the misfortunate outing , that oddball chinese 'falung gong' cult in washingtonistan has ~300 people ~in orchestra~ alone. holyfuq.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: lol 'off' circa 1995 or so
asciilifeform went like clockwork to 4 jul fireworx fest for 15 yrs nao, but this might be last one
asciilifeform: was filming, like idiot, 'cuz any minute nao, TANKS!1111', in 60fps '4k'
asciilifeform: simply had the misfortune to be out of the shade, in godforsaken swampistan
asciilifeform: yea but this one wasn't pointed at solar corona or anyffin of the kind
asciilifeform: i did learn that ccd in camera can overheat, had nfi this was possible.
asciilifeform: fwiw it was such a sad chunk of sadness that i regret what spent on the train ticket, not even speaking of time.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: for all i know, this kinda thing has been 'normal' here for yrs. asciilifeform simply stays out, usually, from mass panem et circenses scenes, simply not seen
asciilifeform: chix, evidently, came from factory without fpu installed.
asciilifeform: i can only guess that nowadays if, in this here colony, you can 'do floating point' you will work somewhere other than the scorching swamp heat selling bottles..
asciilifeform: this was 1st such scene that i've personally witnessed
asciilifeform: there was even an indian d00d who offered her a 20 and 'stop counting the change for next n people omfg and move the fucking line'
asciilifeform saw an almost 'argentine'-grade scene at trump fest. wanted to buy bottle of ice water. went into queue, of six people or so. then noticed that queue dun move ~at all. assumed, like idiot, 'hm must be out of water? waiting for truck with moar?' -- then got to end of queue, and jaw dropped. vendor chix was counting change ~on calculator~. bbut! calculator ~on ipnoje~, so therefore also attending, must have, to arsebook etc. ping
asciilifeform: i recall a mp_en_viaje article where there was detailed portrait of argentine 'academic', with bow tie etc, demanding shop credit line to buy a pair of boots or what was it
asciilifeform: i.e. can't buy it with the printolade or pyramid would topple ?
asciilifeform: bbut somehow still 'empanada on layaway' ?
asciilifeform: there's also moving parts , orcologically speaking, that asciilifeform doesn't at all understand. e.g. how , in fucktarded argentinistan, typical orc 'can't buy empanada except on layaway' but somehow flat still costs 300k(us)
asciilifeform: as mp_en_viaje prolly already knew decades ago, 'vhs amer' is ~religion for sovok orcs.
asciilifeform: 'партия сказала: надо! комсомол ответил : есть!'(tm)(r)
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: will. and BingoBoingo as i understand piz is paying for transport ? ( rather , asciilifeform pays, asciilifeform owes piz, plox to credit it , when billed , against his tab )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: speaking of the (entirely fair) 'customers, motherfuckers' prod from mp_en_viaje : i'ma take the smg broadcast as official marching order re the machine delivery, and make the purchases, so we've what to sell . ( and on that front, the mips item is ready for war. i'ma also need to cuntoo . )
asciilifeform: and i'm speaking of generic people, even; i imagine mp_en_viaje had to beat'em away with sticks.
asciilifeform: in sovok world, detectable shortage of males as such.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: in sovok sphere, they in fact ~will~ talk to you. (even when abroad, in deepest swamp of washingtonistan, ru chix in crowd watching some 'occupy!11' nonsense, found somehow asciilifeform in the crowd and spoke !) they do this, the generally accepted theory is, on acct of plain demographic catastrophe .
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i did not follow him to naggumistan, never found out what he meant. ( and fella wasn't ever heard from since. )
asciilifeform: ( if assange et al is anyffing to go by -- just landing there with an intact cock prolly is worth coupla thou in legal bill )
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: iirc sex per se is moar or less illegal in stockholm.
asciilifeform: in asciilifeform's extended meatwot, there was a d00d who moved to norway. declared that it was on acct of some peculiar heathen music he played in a band, that is in fashion there, stayed, he said, for the pliable chix
asciilifeform found that reasonable trb noad more or less requires adult fiber. set it up one time in a commercial pad where 'commercial cable', would sit for months and not sync
asciilifeform: notbad, approx same as here. (and presumably 10x cheaper)
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-05#1921613 << over here also 'to the door' BUT if you want it, yer stuck living in vehehehery small % of the ameri-landmass, it is ~unobtainable anywhere outside of major 'nuke target' cities and their suburbs☝︎
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-07-05#1921606 << strangely enuff, it appears to be the ~only thing that actually worx better in asciilifeform's penal colony than in cr, europistan, etc. currently. ( and prolly tbf must note that this working fiber -- costs what could almost feed small orc family in ro etc )☝︎
asciilifeform: wreckers must've wrecked the fireworks, instead of the usual decent ones, mostly puffs of smoke.
asciilifeform: where promised tank parade -- instead 9000 high school bands. and 'falun gong'.
asciilifeform: audience -- maybe coupla 100k of fans, some of the fattest folx i've ever seen in person who could still walk on 2 legs
asciilifeform: trump was to speak at 1800 hrs, blinked in and out for ~45min, the sound system must've ran on winblows xp, which crashed
asciilifeform: aerial parade however was held, fwiw, and even in rain. coupla tired old jets + the public's favourite golden toilet, the 'stealth bomber'.
asciilifeform: grr, ameristan 4 jul was ripoff this yr. no tanks.
asciilifeform: in re statistical discussion -- historically dekulakizations nail the middle, the fella with (per current day norm) 5-6 u.s.figs of worth, rather than actual rich. and per billymg's description of his case, seems that he falls into the latter, rather than former, weight class
asciilifeform: 'coward dies 1000 deaths, brave man - 1'(tm)(r)
asciilifeform: speaking of which, trump promised a -- first ever in washingtonistan -- tank an' plane parade tomorrow
asciilifeform: sorta why in '41 they gave out 'наркомовские 100 грамм' of vodka at the front. so cannon fodder can put brakes on 'evaluate the risk' and die for motherland properly.
asciilifeform: ( as amply documented by mp_en_viaje ) being 'in better position to evaluate $risk' is often ~bad thing~
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: aha, but apparently thought asciilifeform had one hidden in back pocket somewhere ??☝︎
asciilifeform: billymg: the slightly trickier puzzler is to retain the keys even if abruptly parted from the roof and the suitcase. but this, too, discussed in prev. thrds.
asciilifeform: it's a square circle, billymg , either sumthing is yours or it aint. if it's yours, you could lose, or forget where you put, where do you suppose 'buried treasure' comes from for archaeologists to find.
asciilifeform: and how the hell could one 'hedge against own fallibility'
asciilifeform: there are various known solutions to this, but none (unsurprisingly) 'official'. mp_en_viaje discussed variously in the logs, how it is done.
asciilifeform: billymg: prolly you already know that in (afaik) erry country colonized by reich, if you walk in to open bank acct in yer human name, and they ask for passport and you pull out usa passport, they will either refuse entirely or make for you an acct that is immediately reported to usg tax ministry for express pillage
asciilifeform: it is unlikely, but worth to ask imho.
asciilifeform: billymg: re heavy industrial amts of coin -- the only afaik fella here who could even theoretically help, is mp_en_viaje , ask him when he wakes up, it is possible that this is the year he's buying a soviet sub or sumsuch
asciilifeform: e.g. in europistan, last i saw 800k usd worth of buy-in gets you passport ( why would want -- separate q )
asciilifeform: billymg: (ianal but) not aware of any country where 'just park' worx. normally they want you to buy lands.
