smickles: what about
turkey or something
smickles: is
there a closer legal storage facility
than 'merica
to romania
dub: is
there nothing
to hunt in europe?
jurov: ...and protecting people from
themselves is one of pinnacles of human civilization
mircea_popescu: so unless you plan
to start an assasination llc you're better off leaving
them in storage in
the us
dub: probably cheaper
to leave your guns and buy new ones
mircea_popescu: smickles seriously,
the only way it's worth it
to bother with guns in europe is if you're holding
them illegaly
smickles: heh, come on, launching
things at high speeds, accurately, is one of
the pennacles of human
technology so far
dub: if its anything like here which is based on uk law iirc, you'll need a friendly holder of an importer/collector license
to bring guns in
smickles: that site says
that its a permet
to acquire a gun
jurov: iirc in slovakia you'll need
tio pass psychiatric examination
to get gun pass
smickles: dub: well,
the 686 i have once served as my sidearm in case a bear came after me
dub: preferably in a state
that it can
then be butchered and eaten
dub: shooting is for
the purpose of
the
target dying
kakobrekla: smickles with a proper permit you can have a non hunting gun or whatever
thats is called
kakobrekla: but i live outside
the city, plenty of hunters with guns here
smickles: bah, I don't want
to realize a gain on selling
these
things,
then be
taxed on it :P
dub: leave your wild
turkey at
the border
too
smickles: mircea_popescu: if i move
to romainia, will i have
to be concerned with gun regulation. (assuming i am bringing guns into
the country)
mircea_popescu: (romania's extreme left is slightly right of
the us gop)
mircea_popescu: got
their asses handed
to
them in such grand manner it was funny
mircea_popescu: the local obama wannabe
tried
to create a disturbance oust
the president
pigeons: i like
that mircea_popescu
mircea_popescu: and if congress doesn't manage
to get simple majority of seats it sits idle.
smickles: i
think second place should be
the VP
pigeons: thestringpuller: but in usa everyone is forced
to pay for public school so if
they use private school,
they pay
twice
mircea_popescu: if
the candidate doesn't get 50%+ of all votes
there's no president
that
term.
mircea_popescu: <smickles> pigeons: you
think not voting should carry weight somehow? <<< yes. simple majority or no elected official.
smickles: it's not really free market if you still have
to pay for
the public schools
thestringpuller: dub:
there is a free market for education. its called private school
smickles: oh, seems
they got one back in december
thestringpuller: most charter schools
that succeed were failing schools before
they were "taken over"
thestringpuller: then reform all
the schools. if a school is failing
the community should be allowed
to reform it
pigeons: i dont know, i'm not very cosmopolitan. but
they make nice waffles
pigeons: yes. i
think
that
they should all go home if enough people dont vote
dub: conversely allowing schools
to deny kids
though right?
smickles: pigeons: you
think not voting should carry weight somehow?
thestringpuller: they allow kids in impoverished households
to get a better education if
their school is failing
pigeons: well it's rigged because someone will win even
though more of us didnt vote
smickles: too many people
think is a 2 person choice
smickles: I doubt
the system is rigged,
they don't need
to
smickles: there are more
than 3 choices you know
smickles: lolwut
thestringpuller you voted for obama?
thestringpuller: also we have
to charter for schools from within
the board of education. a board member must raise it for voting.
this amendment lets
the local community raise it.
mircea_popescu: basically, much like a spunoff vehicle, govt doesn't want
their debts on its books
thestringpuller: i voted for obama. romney is a robot, or an android. he wants
to cut science which is my swing issue.
smickles: ah uk has gov't owned mail services
too
smickles: i don't know how
that is, I guess i'll research UK mail
mircea_popescu: o, you mean
the post ? it's an autonomous
thingee. like
the uk mail or w/e
mircea_popescu: i get monthly
thanik you notes in
the mail from
the
tax authority
smickles: mircea_popescu: is mail delivery done by
the gov't in romainia?
smickles: civil law system alone sounds better
than common law anyway
smickles: well, i'll be successful and
then move
to romania
then, since it's so much better
smickles: or you suspect
they have it out for me
smickles: lol, you mean you don't expect incompetence in
the gov't?
smickles: I was wondering why it was
taking so long
mircea_popescu: I'm going
to be perfectly honest with you:
The fact
that you list
that you're a one-man operation,
that you're 18 years old, and
that you say you "achieved financial independence at
the age of 16" is a big
turn-off
to me.
mircea_popescu: you have
to be retarded
to start competition for namecheap. srsly now.
mircea_popescu: This looks very cool Ryan - congrats on
the launch! It's instantly appealing
to me, and I fully understand
the motivation. NameCheap, while an awesome domain name provider, still feels a bit "hackey" in
their UI. It works, but it feels odd.
This appeals
to me more -- like Stripe for domain names.
pigeons: yes i was going
to slightly modify and spread
that rumor, its a good one
mircea_popescu: "No you probably won't ever see any asset information. In fact
the whole
thing was probably a setup with one of
the major asset holders on glbse so
they would never have
to pay back
their investors"
kuzetsa: mircea_popescu: for a sec I
though
that was buck angel. had
to check
the
tattoos for comparison.
mircea_popescu: it seems joel is learning
the perils of
trying
to outargue mpoe-pr
kuzetsa: even
though I'm not "a straight male", and my boyfriend is a
trans guy, I'd almost certainly prefer "B" -- she's pretty hot as far as
trans women go.
Diablo-D3: yeah, so? if it
turns you on, save it
to your porn dir
Diablo-D3: I mean, I dont get why
the fuck _an image on
the internet_ would make anyone insecure
mircea_popescu: so he feels
the urge
to lash out and diminish
the woman
kuzetsa: Diablo-D3: why would you
think
the
trans woman's breasts are implants?
Diablo-D3: they've been around long enough
to figure out exactly what
they want and know how
to get it out of you
