BingoBoingo: decimation: I went to a Methodist college, but... Methodism isn't a real religion anyways.
mircea_popescu: lol so then you don't count
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I kind of though that was part of the MP attitude towards building certain ideas. If you lack the captital to not roast your leg and can't ask for money, you eat yourself.
decimation: mats: heh yeah you are right. I think he was trying to convey several points: 1.) half measures don't work - shoot down the third world shuttles when they invade 2.) democracy turns to decadence - too weak to hold the allodial rights to a domain

moiety: that was originally because of laudenum though, the sugar cube, wasn't it?

BingoBoingo: Eh, if it isn't a good brown liquor, I'm prefer the closest thing I can find to a pure solution of ETOH and water
BingoBoingo: I don't have resources to interfere with random blogs much less pools. Pool politics is getting rather Nasty. Reminds me of that place upstate named after it's stench.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo: I still don't think 14 Billion by Bastille day is happening. << dunno man. some crazy hash added past coupla days
bitcoinpete: i basically don't drive in the summer… all 4 months of it here
BingoBoingo: Eh, I don't judge my road experiences on what I'm driving, but on the WTF shit I encounter.
moiety: bitcoinpete: that's immense! thanks for the link, so nice to read an actual experience of it :D i also didn't know: "A 5-speed manual was available from the factory, but of the 20,000 Figaros produced, only a small fraction had the do-it-yourselfer installed."
BingoBoingo: I also can't be arsed to make a Fiverr account.
BingoBoingo: I kind of want some Klye JustDice porn fic, but I don't want it enought to throw away more than a Bitcent on it.
BingoBoingo: pankkake: Don't forget local wallet on machine separated from the internet...

BingoBoingo: Or a car that isn't so bouyant.
assbot: Are /blockchain online bitcoin wallets potentially insecure? /aantonop say it ain't so! http://t.co/yoKFu376Jt /bitcoinpete

moiety: eeep, i don't think you should drive anywhere for a while BingoBoingo
nubbins`: i don't have any tinfoil bitches
assbot: If US gets involved in /hashtag/Iraq?src=hash it would join a /hashtag/Shiite?src=hash alliance w/ Assad, /hashtag/Iran?src=hash & /hashtag/Maliki?src=hash against a /hashtag/Sunni?src=hash movement http://t.co/TQHSloTN8c
benkay: ya but you can't voice y'self yet
kakobrekla: <mike_c> benkay: 624448208441344 << retarded? << I was reading up and i thought that was one of assbot's wisecracks when it doesn't understand your command :) < those are way smarter than that

assbot: Those who don't ignore history are just as doomed to repeat it as those who ignore history. Because both will have the same history.
assbot: An automated consultant for /BitAngelsdotco: http://t.co/HsxZCXSxvS We need an open source token-based distributed version, though.
BingoBoingo: I still don't think 14 Billion by Bastille day is happening.
mircea_popescu: i dunno who the fuck is in charge across the pond, but he couldn't be less able if he tried. a regular bismarck in reverse, that guy
BingoBoingo: Yeah. Prolly best they don't mix.
mircea_popescu: which reminds me of the recent cheese wars lol. i dunno who missed the "oh yurp, you don't want our gmo crops ?! we won't want your messy cheeses then!!11"
BingoBoingo: That is true. Microbes generally don't try to kill other microbes through folate though.
mircea_popescu: (their only limiting factor is that human cells don't have a defense either, and rarely do you get a bonanza like tpi that's 5k as afine to bacteria folic process as to human for unknown reasons)
BingoBoingo: Most routes to drug resistance encountered so far have been a round a long time, because some population of bacteria in a species need the genes to survive. Bacteria don't just spread genes through reproduction though... Microbiology is like Bioshock. Staph can pick up a plasid and get superpowers.
mircea_popescu: so the pre-existing defense theory doesn't really hold as well as all that.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, in a human body's environment a bacterium doesn't have long before it needs to fuck itself and reproduce or die.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Trimethoprim is great in the way Sulfa antibiotics and doxycycline are great. They are merely bateriostatic agents. Combine the right bacteriostatic agents and you might actually kill some bacteria. Mostly though bacteria aren't adapted to combinations of them and it might take centuries for Bactrims list of vulnerable organisms to thing appreciably.
bitcoinpete: research that sorta didn't really make it to the west after the fall
mircea_popescu: if he had a few slaves around the house whose lives and physical integrity depended on his good humour, he wouldn't find himself ossified in this form of compensatory idiocy.
mircea_popescu: this is how people like me end up when they're 50, if they don't have the sense to bdsm etc
mircea_popescu: i can't see a reference to lockin's stuff without thinking of http://trilema.com/2013/how-to-fail-the-scott-locklin-method/ anyway
punkman: mircea_popescu: I don't hate it per se, but I'd rather avoid that learning curve for now
asciilifeform: punkman: and i'm afraid that i cannot in good conscience recommend ide that isn't emacs. because only emacs runs 'SLIME.'
mircea_popescu: yes, at which point i prolly observed that it's a technologee current bitcoin miners don't got.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: don't make the classic mistake of reading this as microshit product r&d
fluffypony: wasn't he that blogger that had a tiff with you?
mircea_popescu: "of course i own the whole block. i'm in a booth here aren't i ?!
assbot: BitGo Raises $12 million Series A http://t.co/7aTKHPZ29r by /PerianneDC via /Forbes Congrats /willobrien /mikebelshe /bendavenport /hashtag/bitcoin?src=hash
bitcoinpete: i don't think it's too late

mircea_popescu: i wouldn't say it's the best i had, but certainly not ashamed of sharing it
los_pantalones: keep your dough age crown, i can't find
los_pantalones: well, before you go on thinking you didn't
mircea_popescu: los_pantalones a yes, the guy has a point as to "proper" aging. you can't do sngle steaks
davout: pankkake: if it isn't painful it means it's probably not very useful either
punkman: haven't tried that, sounds good
davout: i don't think i have :-)
mircea_popescu: what, this is sadism ? my dear boy! you ain't seen nothing yet
davout: that they don't eat at home the same way as in restaurants?
mircea_popescu: well it's possible you had it imported, in which case the shock won't quite rise to the level of epiphany
mircea_popescu: you can't imagine it.
davout: i'd have argued the argentinian version doesn't have a soul
mircea_popescu: you tell me that you were here, and saw a local knockoff of a tin of camembert and you wouldn't have paid the $2.80 to see wtf is in there.
fluffypony: he hasn't started on it yet - he's busy till the end of the month, so we're still fleshing everything out
mircea_popescu: courts aren't either agents nor capable of intent.
davout: i don't know about other countries, but the law in france has this mechanism where whenever you need clarification on the law from the taxes administration, you can ask them to make a binding answer
mircea_popescu: davout anyway, this is a solidly established principle of law, that a court won't review possibilities and implications,
mircea_popescu: (pls don't look in the logs)
mircea_popescu: los_pantalones hasn't really happened to date.
los_pantalones: and you really shouldn't change a bet after it's open
mircea_popescu: can't follow around constantly reviewing and clarifying the wording every time reality twists some way or the other.
