xanthyos: can't take the gauze off my cock until saturday
xanthyos: probably will be scarred for life
xanthyos: the surgeon's name was Richard Frink
BingoBoingo: lol, fucking urologists have the punniest names
xanthyos: the dilaudid they shot me up with was amazing
punkman: how did you break the thing anyway?
xanthyos: i can see why people ruin their lives for heroin
xanthyos: i have an ocd ritual of bending it back to pop it so it relaxes because if i orgasm i have anxiety as an aftereffect
xanthyos: clearly it was not a sustainable solution;.
BingoBoingo: I got hit with the dilaudid during ball crisis this spring.
xanthyos: they made it like it was something to be embarassed over
BingoBoingo: Why would you be negged for being open about a cock crisis?
xanthyos: because it's offtopic maybe, and speaks to my mental instability which could be seen as a reason to distrust, idk
cazalla: xanthyos, chicks dig scars.. why in pain though? i thought you guys can have as much oxy as one pleases there?
BingoBoingo: cazalla: That used to be the deal, but no more
xanthyos: i got 30 tablets of acetaminophen/oxy
xanthyos: 500 mg tylenol for 5 mg heroin
punkman: I had surgery to remove a tricky wisdom toothonce and they sent me on my way with 2 paracetamol tablets
xanthyos: the socialist NHS has to cut costs somewhere, eh?
cazalla: punkman, weird eh, a gp gave me oxy for a sore neck
punkman: nah not UK, some shithole in south-east europe
punkman: I scrounged up some paracetamol+codeine tablets, worked out ok
cazalla: xanthyos, don't be playing with it while it heals too, 10 years no sex, i imagine maybe you get a bit furious with it at times
punkman: but I expected a bit more after the fuckers drilled into my jaw-bone or whatever
xanthyos: i masturbate as infrequently as possible but when i go i empty the thing
ben_vulpes: <xanthyos> i have an ocd ritual of bending it back to pop it
xanthyos: i'v ebeen doing it for 20 years and never had a problem til now
ben_vulpes: i don't even know what you're *describing*
xanthyos: it feels good but i don't recommend it now tht i'ave had this experince
cazalla: i still don't follow how you "bend" or "pop" it xanthyos, please to be making an instructional video
mod6: pop goes the weasel
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: It's actually a traditional think in Iran and Turkey. Also... Those regions lead the world in this sort of injury.
cazalla: maybe yours is different, i dunno, i don't think my cock is like my knuckles at all
mircea_popescu: so here's a simple computing test for your platform. 1) open a 100mb text file. if your editor croaks, you're running windows. 2) go to the end and depress the pageup key. count to sixty / wait a full minute. depress the key. if the scroll stops immediately you are running good unix. if it keeps going... well...
kakobrekla: now that you cant bend to pop, mebbe you can pull to pop?
xanthyos: all the computers in the hospital were running windows
kakobrekla: actually there are several text editors for windows that eat 100mb file like nothing
ben_vulpes: btw watched tinker tailor solider spy the other night

mircea_popescu: i'm not arguing something like "o, you know, there's no way around it". more like, "why the fuck should finding ways around it even be a consideration at all"
mircea_popescu: there's a limit to the smallest energy density that can fly, period, no matter any other considerations
mircea_popescu: well, what is this if not the intellectual rape channel ? that's what we do, we spoil noobs.
mircea_popescu: (people that object readily to "oh but comets can fly and no engine there" be confused as to what "energy density" means. calculate v**2 for comet)
mircea_popescu: if you can fuck her with the cock, why use your finger ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform but in the same vein of "hard problems, if you're new here", you know the two trains and fly one im sure
☟︎ mircea_popescu: well anyway : two trains moving on the same track leave simultaneously 29 miles apart, one doing 5mph the other 7mp. a fly caugh between them flies straight until it reaches a train then turns back and recurses, doing 9mph.

mircea_popescu: anyway, where i'm from it's traditionally given to 15-16yos taking their first year of analysis

cazalla: can someone load a post on their mobile and see if there is a big white gap between navbar and the post itself?
mircea_popescu: "you don't have to make yourself magic pork and beans just because you have a magic wand you ninny"
mircea_popescu: cazalla tis fine. flashing gif mebbe a little distraction
cazalla: mircea_popescu, point of an advert yeah?
cazalla: mircea_popescu, load a post, not qntra.net itself
cazalla: maybe it's just related to the ipad 2
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Maybe, Maybe ipad needs to go to chopshop to check for NSA?
cazalla: mircea_popescu, you should've seen the huge ass banner BingoBoingo put up before we settled on the box on sidebar :P
mircea_popescu: anyway, VERY flashy is, in my humble and unexpert experience, counterproductive. so is very large.
cazalla: mircea_popescu, we discussed using text links either above/below each article as well, thoughts?
mircea_popescu: if people want links let them go the original route, do something newsworthy. have a designated pr liaison and there you go.
cazalla: that won't keep the advert current once new news is posted
cazalla: text idea is that above or below an article, you have perhaps - sponsored name - blah blah come play mega dice win mega coins
cazalla: rather than big ass banner at top of site, which we tried earlier
cazalla: or better yet, we just scrap adverts all together and do trilema credits model
BingoBoingo thinks for now flashing square is fine. Lets people know someone was brave enough to advertise.
mircea_popescu: cazalla i get the idea, but i dun see that it's such a good idea, either for us or for them
nubbins`: "Construct (with ruler and compass) a square given one point from each side."
mircea_popescu: there are of course a bunch of iterative solutions to this problem, but that's "with computer" not ruler&compass.
nubbins`: "Suppose A, B, C and D denote the points on the sides of the square, in order. Connect A and C. Draw a perpendicular from B to the segment AC. Let point D0 lie on the perpendicular given that the distance BD0 is the same as the length of AC. Then D0 belongs to the same side (or extension of the side) of the square as D. See Figure 14. Once we know from DD0 how the square is oriented, the rest is easy."
mircea_popescu: of course they do select for the best quality in mathematicians
mircea_popescu: which is, for lack of a different term, feminine guile.
mircea_popescu: i dunno. shooting a deer with a single bullet is finesse. taming it is a different thing.
mircea_popescu: how can you argue with that ? it's *exactly* what it is.
mircea_popescu: finesse is the ability to make mayonaise by hand. a practice, anyone can be taught it.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, granted, the classical terminology is geometry & finesse.
BingoBoingo: Marketing though is making a hand with mayonaise
mircea_popescu: Différence entre l'esprit de géométrie et l'esprit de finesse. - En l'un, les principes sont palpables, mais éloignés de l'usage commun ; de sorte qu'on a peine à tourner la tête de ce côté-là, manque d'habitude : mais, pour peu qu'on l'y tourne, on voit les principes à plein; et il faudrait avoir tout à fait l'esprit faux pour mal raisonner sur des principes si gros qu'il est presque impossible qu'ils éch
mircea_popescu: Mais, dans l'esprit de finesse, les principes sont dans l'usage commun et devant les yeux de tout le monde. On n'a que faire de tourner la tête, ni de se faire violence; il n'est question que d'avoir bonne vue, mais il faut l'avoir bonne; car les principes sont si déliés et en si grand nombre, qu'il est presque impossible qu'il n'en échappe. Or, l'omission d'un principe mène à l'erreur; ainsi, il faut avoir la vu
mircea_popescu: e bien nette pour voir tous les principes, et ensuite l'esprit juste pour ne pas raisonner faussement sur des principes connus.
mircea_popescu: Tous les géomètres seraient donc fins s'ils avaient la vue bonne, car ils ne raisonnent pas faux sur les principes qu'ils connaissent; et les esprits fins seraient géomètres s'ils pouvaient plier leur vue vers les principes inaccoutumés de géométrie.

mircea_popescu: shit, if only the transfer weren't a zipfile, i could be 50k richer
mircea_popescu: well... if they're slow altogether like serving the js that may also account.
Vexual: did i read correctly qntra has actual income now?
BingoBoingo: Vexual: Not yet. We are playing with the idea of a single ad

Vexual: quantcast says your traffic is largely wealthy educated asians, thats some quality traffic

decimation: yeah I get the fact that it is a compiler, but why would you want to use it to compile itself and then use the compiler to recreate the target lisp?

decimation: yeah this test automatically fails C and its descendants
BingoBoingo: Well, ad nao has more modest sidebar placement. Don't want to seem like too cheap a hooker when second potential advertiser wants to negotiate
decimation: but can it synthesize c after compiling? I suppose it could
cazalla: qntra down here for me too

mircea_popescu: all autumn they spent in this "o noes, bombama put teh hurts on putin!111"
mircea_popescu: which, you know, back when putin was merely pissing in the guy's mouth at public meetings, hey, i guess it's what people do, make this type of false claims.
mircea_popescu: sports press fulla it, especially if you count wrestling as a sport.
mircea_popescu: but as soon as fucking novemver rolled around, it's not even winter yet, the eu is already soft like the average penis of the average european
mircea_popescu: and yet, nobody, and i mean NOBODY comes out with the fucking obvious.
mircea_popescu: what is wrong with these people! give them some technology award, this cultish idiocy is unheard of.
mircea_popescu: you'd expect you know, as much as a "hey, maybe this embargo thing is actually fucking eu more than ru"
mircea_popescu: how, it boggles the mind. how is this not even entertained.
mircea_popescu: i mean these are all idiots with pretenses. they wear fucking suits and ties.
mircea_popescu: they keep supposed wives, have what they refer to as their children.
mircea_popescu: why even bother with all the pretense ? if you're going to do THIS sort of thing, why even bother dress ? eat fucking roadkill, go around screaming and tossing garbage, what fucking difference does it make.
punkman: girl worked hotel reception in the summer, all the russians were calling in saying they needed proof vacation was booked before embargo otherwise they weren't allowed to get on plane.
mircea_popescu: i suppose what im saying, in the end, is that i absolutely don't see any connection between the noises coming out of europe currently and the european tradition.
mircea_popescu: might as well be the greater congo masquerading as europe.
mats_cd03: xanthyos: might wanna hold off in the event of waterfall following nov 28

pete_dushenski: lessons learned 1) speak to what you know, 2) don't say "yes" to everything just because, 3) if you're going to do something, do it well, 4) have qntra articles vetted before publishing, 5) never quote wikipedia, duh.

mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski BingoBoingo i like how positive you two are tho.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform 1/2/3/4 it seems quite probable that's exactly how this particular "engineering for excellence" thing works.
mircea_popescu: "Finally, if you add the horrifying spread of AIDS into the equation, anyone born in sub-Saharan Africa this century will be lucky to reach age forty." ahem.
mircea_popescu: Two friends died from stepping on landmines while on Army duty in Namibia. Three died in horrific car accidents (and lest one thinks that this is not confined to Africa, one was caused by a kudu flying through a windshield and impaling the guy through the chest with its hoof--not your everyday traffic accident in, say, Florida).
mircea_popescu: anyway, the "casual attitude to life and death" he discusses is in no way typically african.
mircea_popescu: it's just typical of actual people, as neatly opposed to dickles otakus or w/e populate teh us.
mircea_popescu: your own life is not actually within your control. valuing something outside of your control is logically broken, and that basis is enough for any ulterior brokenness to be itnroduced.
mircea_popescu: "In my lifetime, the following tragedies have occurred, causing untold millions of deaths: famine in Biafra"
mircea_popescu: i remember this. when i was like 6 old women around me were "omg, you look like you're from biafra! eat something!"
jurov: i was quite a brat: "you don't want to eat this? think of starving children in africa, they'd like this" "well, so send it to them"
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 10800 @ 0.00044224 = 4.7762 BTC [-]
mircea_popescu: Among old Africa hands, we have a saying, usually accompanied by a shrug: "Africa wins again." This is usually said after an incident such as: a beloved missionary is butchered by his congregation, for no apparent reason.
jurov: lol wins again... a brazil joke came to mind:
jurov: Brazil is the country of future. And forever shall be.
mircea_popescu: 17 countries saw a decline in real per capita GNP between 1970 and 1999, despite receiving well over $100 billion in World Bank assistance
mircea_popescu: well, in fairness part of this may be that the african gdp is sinking in realer terms. if same were applied, the us sunk since the 80s something fiercer
mircea_popescu: The result of decades of "foreign aid" has resulted in a continental infrastructure which, if one excludes South Africa, couldn't support Pittsburgh.
mircea_popescu: this is very unfair. i have personally used the egyptian trains, cairo to luxor
mircea_popescu: first class had better service than anywhere i've ever been, including switzerland
jurov: if they exclude maghreb, too.. but nairobi seems to have decnt infra, too
mircea_popescu: well you know, without this without that... basically you're what, talking of "african americans" ?
mircea_popescu: other than being an european in the "mare nostrum" sense of that concept, me either.
mircea_popescu: yeah seems the inescapble fate of the black race, extermination at the hands of the yellow.
mircea_popescu: "If a cure for AIDS was found tomorrow, and offered to every African nation free of charge, the growth of the disease would scarcely be checked, let alone reversed." i ca see this.
mircea_popescu: amusingly, what the african activists willing to speak plainly say sounds a whole fuckload of a lot just like what the paternalist southern lobby was saying in the us, early 1800s.
mircea_popescu: somehow i deduced you mean pills just don't work in principle somehow
mircea_popescu: Even worse would be to think that the simplicity of Africa holds some kind of answers for Western society: remember "It Takes A Village"? Trust me on this: there is not one thing that Africa can give the West which hasn't been tried before and failed, not one thing that isn't a step backwards, and not one thing which is worse than, or that contradicts, what we have already.
mircea_popescu: this is actually a general point. i recall a few decades ago bored stupid californian housewifes and ex actresses went all crazy about how india is going to be teh great cure
mircea_popescu: fizzled as one'd expect. there's a reason india was a colonial empire and not vice-versa.
