pete_dushenski: not that i'm volunteering to fight BingoBoingo, but mats or adlai would be the one's i'd watch out for.

pete_dushenski: was there anyone else here who did a military stint that i'm forgetting ?

pete_dushenski: and on the chin-ups-as-a-measure-of-fitness front, i can currently do... 8

pete_dushenski: few more weeks of summer weather and 10 is very much acheivable.

pete_dushenski: it's actually nuts how seasonal life in the arctic is

pete_dushenski: 5 months of fair weather (may-sept) where i can be active as all hell, and then 7 months where i eat carbs and go soft

pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: life in the arctic is nuts compared to life on the internet, where every day is just like the last.

pete_dushenski: like indoor soccer ?

pete_dushenski played this growing up

pete_dushenski: "On Thursday, the US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) confirmed that hackers broke into its servers. A data center in Denver was compromised, we're told, which resulted in the loss of personal information on four million current and former employees; the records could date back as far as 1985."

pete_dushenski: ^unearthing all the "i was just doing my job"ers.

pete_dushenski: retired on not, y'all usian bureaucrats are so fucking guilty.

pete_dushenski: "The agency is offering 18 months of identity-theft protection and credit monitoring services for those who have had their personal details lifted." << i cannot possibly comprehend what's meant by "identity theft protection" ☟︎

pete_dushenski: hm nope.

pete_dushenski: sounds plausible enough though

pete_dushenski: "A Spanish woman has filed a lawsuit against eBay for the right to sell the Sun, El Mundo reports." << an answer to that old question : "what is the utility of the sun to you ?"

pete_dushenski: i guess it's about 10k euroes

pete_dushenski: the reg's tim worstall is at it again : http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/06/07/so_why_didnt_quantitative_easing_produce_huge_inflation/

pete_dushenski: ""So, if we increase the money supply then we'll get lots more inflation. This didn't happen, or as I'll point out, did in fact, so obviously those who were crying wolf were wrong"

pete_dushenski: "A quick historical divergence: it's much more useful to study the 19th Century recessions to see this, as at that point M, money, was determined by the supply of gold. And yes, recessions really were accompanied by significant deflation and also falls in output and no, no one really liked that at all. Which is why this idea that Bitcoin has only a single total amount that will ever be issued is not to the taste

pete_dushenski: of central bankers. Because it ties hands when dealing with this specific problem."

pete_dushenski: anyways, i hung up worstall once before when he tried to make a value proposition for facebook : http://www.contravex.com/2015/01/23/how-the-adage-time-is-money-and-the-existence-of-google-prove-that-facebook-is-worth-less-than-dust/

pete_dushenski: he's probably too old and retarded to bother inviting here for a little conversation

pete_dushenski: but maybe one day he'll stumble upon this corner of the world, and we'll have the logs to start with

pete_dushenski: and now i'm off to meatspace ! ciao !!
