pete_dushenski: mod6: hockey in canada is definitely where the 'men' congregate, sort of how i imagine the culture around american football is, but for upper-middle-class white kids
mod6: yeah, in the US ``men'' play/watch football mostly. i think for one thing its readily accessable; it's inexpensive to play. all you gotta do is buy shoes and show up. the rest is pretty much provided by the team.
mod6: hockey is very expensive. much higher barrier of entry.
pete_dushenski: mod6: big time. not many kids who make it to 'the show' have anything less that white-collar professional parents
mod6: haha, i never saw any wild stuff like that in all of our hockey travels. except for some typical locker-room boxing and pranks, etc.
mod6: yeah, ice time is expensive. but it does help if you live in an area where you can get free outdoor ice time.
mod6: i think the rink near where i live is like $300/hr

mod6: ooh. hah, yeah, these are probably like 2-4lbs.
mod6: Most ones we see are "Mongolian ringneck"s
mod6: yeah, hens too. at least here.
mod6: i suppose each place has different laws.
mircea_popescu: easy enough way to protect the population, if it has any wildlife habitat. make hunt rooster-only for a while.
mod6: yeah. there used to be a lot more wild birds here in minnesota, so say the old timers. but the land development and introduction of a lot more nest-feeding animals like skunks, coyote, wolves and foxes have shrank the population.
mircea_popescu: yeah foxes are a problem. can't really have lotta fox and lotta turkey/pheasant/grouse in the same place.
mod6: south dakota still has a lot from what I hear. i've never hunted there yet. but i hear that you'll see like 100 birds get up at a single time. so many, it's hard to actually pick a target.
mod6: yeah. sometime, i wanna try turkey hunting.
mod6: gotta walk a lot though, from what i'm told.
mircea_popescu: euro turkeys are kinda midgety. from what i hear us and canada have some real huge ones.
mircea_popescu: well that's the point of hunting innit ? exercise the dogs.
mod6: yeah. totally. and yes, they do have some pretty big turkeys here.
mircea_popescu: "you're not a real man for as long as you get outwalked by a dog"
mod6: the dogs always amaze me. they just don't stop. even with broken toe-nails, or iced over paws, they just keep on going.

Their criticism has focused on what they see as the
mats: administration’s fixation on Assad’s primary ally, Vladimir Putin.
BingoBoingo: <adlai> how about a monthly wordcount minimum, to be padded with "Bitcoin exists, relax bro" etc << This only works when someone is doing something stupid and a flavor of "Bitcoin exists, relax bro" can be presented. See Paxful.
mats: >The Joint Chiefs felt that a direct challenge to Obama’s policy would have ‘had a zero chance of success’. So in the autumn of 2013 they decided to take steps against the extremists without going through political channels, by providing US intelligence to the militaries of other nations, on the understanding that it would be passed on to the Syrian
mats: army and used against the common enemy, Jabhat al-Nusra and Islamic State... The JCS concluded that if those needs were met, the overall fight against Islamist terrorism would be enhanced. Obama didn’t know, but Obama doesn’t know what the JCS does in every circumstance and that’s true of all presidents.’
mats: >we did a run-around because potus is an intransigent idiot
adlai: right, it doesn't quite cut it to literally repeat the same words. the identical message must be replicated with original content. this is why "bitcoin difficulty rose yet again" is such a tontrivial beat
mircea_popescu: apparently black girl's notion of "curvy" ain't NOTHING like white girl's notion of "curvy". who knew.
adlai discovers that the right mashing of time-window-controls in btcalpha graphs lets you get daily candles on the 1Y

mircea_popescu: which the nigglet in chief is rapidly shaping up to become.
mats: what an amazing indictment of his administration
mats: it is fitting the fella that won pulitzer for reporting on my lai, penned the piece on potus incompetence in syria
mats: quite literally responsible for millions displaced, thousands dead.
mats prepares to read bsdtar and gnutar

assbot: You rated user pierre_rochard on 07-Oct-2014, with a rating of -2, and supplied these additional notes: He's seems to be a yes-man for all camps..
assbot: Pierre Rochard on Twitter: "@mdotfallon Bitcoin Core team deserves massive credit for their work. They've gained credibility." ... (

adlai: but isn't two-timing yesmanship the solution to false dichotomai?
adlai watches yet another "we're from^Wsponsoredby the government and we're here to help^Wfix bitcoin", this time aviv zohar's mining protocol... totally irrelevant for Bitcoin, more like wouldbecoin-porn
adlai: it'd be so nice if such 'wizards' would prefix their musings with "This is a suggestion I'd offer Satoshi over a bottle of sherry in mid-2005, too bad he never invited me."

https://archive.is/i1PTR mats: >"not enough hash rate" isn't going to be a problem for the foreseeable future and this debate is wasting energy
mats: and how the fuck do you know whether it is enough
thestringpuller: How the fuck did this happen? I wonder who got to him.......
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell asciilifeform which emacs, which os x. ffs what am i a scryer of retard toolchains?
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell asciilifeform fwiw rms' turd actually runs better under x11 on os x than under the native windowing system
☟︎ thestringpuller: no like srsly. Used to get dinner with him when he worked at Bitpay. Would buy extra coins and sell them to me at discount from Bitpay pretty much monthly.
trinque: ben_vulpes: runs best *as* the windowing system !
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: for real ? didn't know you guys had that much irl contact. i only ever talked to pierre_rochard online
trinque hands ben_vulpes a dowel to bite
adlai wouldn't trust btcalpha with real-time trust calibration
adlai: notarization wax is malleable and so is the wot
thestringpuller: pete_dushenski: yea d00d. we'd get dinner and drink beers and chat. and I'd give him cash for bitcoin in an envelope mobster style.
ben_vulpes: i think i'm fine with week stale ratings
thestringpuller: man this is really sad to see this. cause not only did we do business...he was my friend.
adlai: ben_vulpes: i'm fine with staleness as long as it doesn't drop packets... random timing are as bad for snapshotting a shifting web as they are good for batching a racy market
pete_dushenski: thestringpuller: ya, it's lame alright... definitely out of the blue.

pete_dushenski: why kill himself when he could off a bunch of cops ? will wonders never cease
gribble: nubbins` was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 1 week, 6 days, 4 hours, 57 minutes, and 21 seconds ago: <nubbins`> <+mircea_popescu> in other news, chick on okcupid : "porque no me escribis en castellano << they say castellano in peru too, but if i'm not mistaken this is not universal in south america?
adlai: wait is tweeting log links frowned upon?
adlai: i thought TMSR~ had to grow to succeed!
adlai should really lay off dat weed
pete_dushenski: so wait pierre didn't go off his rocker ? am i missing something here ?
trinque: said mutually incompatible things in a short thread, whatever you call that
adlai: seems to me like he fell to his death in the sarchasm, must be new on the internet
thestringpuller: trinque: which is why twitter is generally despised. nothing useful came from a tweet.
punkman: wait wasn't Pierre the guy arguing with gavinandresen about blocksize limits that one time
trinque: aha, I've long since abandoned twattery.
punkman: how do you go from that to "We must remove the block size limit."
thestringpuller: trinque: as was said in the boondocks >> So basically, nigga technology is anything that doesn't plug into a printer. Does that plug into a printer? No? Know why? 'Cause niggas never have anything to print.

punkman: "The rest of my life is to fight against the police.. they are NOT friends, so don't ever ever believe otherwise." << fight them by tweeting! and suicide to make the tweets get more likes!
trinque: "This was right after the female officer ripped off my underwear.. I guess that's not considered rape if you're not a woman being raped." << killed himself because he was pantsed.
thestringpuller: Oh look at that. "While you were sleeping BTCC wants to run a fork..." ~_~
adlai: BTCC, or "I can't believe it's not China"
adlai finds his seventh sense tingling, watching the acceleration of nagant-chewing by formerly-sensible talking heads as the XT timebomb ticks down... hot tip: pop X.CORN and wait for fireworks
adlai wonders how many leaflet factory workers will soon find themselves on r/SFYL
mats: kakobrekla: there's nothing on his site despite the pastebin
mats: archive.org doesn't have anything either
punkman: he probably forgot to post it
adlai: thestringpuller: you forgot to give the critical context re:BTCC. this is toomimalleated hearsay, not bobby lee himself telling lemings to jump.

adlai blinks twice and tries to figure out how a url ends like that
mod6: you mean with the '.' ?
mod6: that's root, you techincally can put that after any tld and it will work as long as it conforms to the spec
adlai spends a couple minutes reading RFCs and realizes just how big a crime against SNR this whole BIP thing really is
adlai: i'd -11 genjix for sparking it, but he seems to have been withdrawn from circulation :-\
pete_dushenski: "I think that use of the Alert System
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Alert_system would be justified in the weeks preceding the hard fork. Maybe we can create an "Upgrade now!" message that the new version would ignore, and set it to broadcast forever to all old nodes?" << sipalulz
☟︎ adlai likes their email addresses: j and m @toom.im, nice and short so it fits in a sammitor's attention span
pete_dushenski: "All of this adds up to a multifaceted perception problem for those of us who are operating legitimate businesses that are dependent on Bitcoin. Both trustworthiness and terminology matter." << bitcoin clearly needs more marketing from chuck et al., only then can bitcoin truly succeed as a tool for fiat banks to understand how the world works.

shinohai: I set that as my Desktop just to disgust the lady that cleans my apartment
adlai: yes, the zion-usg mutual-backstabbing-olympics is a thread that goes back to the lizards lurking on the walls of the manhattan project
adlai: !? i'm fairly certain peres returned home in shame having failed to get anything from obama beyond a reaffirmation of louis ck's "but maybe, may be if you pick up a gun and go to another country and you get shot, it???s not that weird. Maybe if you get shot by the dude, you were just shooting at, it???s a tiny bit your fault. Of course, of course, slavery is the worst thing that ever happened."
adlai: ahaha youtube comments deliver again: Of course the people who had pushed the dislike button, are allowed to have their own opinion, of course! But maybe, If you're dumb enough not to understand the awesome humor in this video, you're supposed to die! ???
punkman: "After his release on November 20, Pollard relocated to an apartment secured for him by his attorneys in New York City. A job offer, as a research analyst at a Manhattan investment firm, was retracted due to the restrictions imposed on his internet access and the inspections to which his employer's computers would be subjected. A bill introduced in the Knesset in November 2015 would, if
punkman: passed, authorize the Israeli government to fund Pollard's housing and medical expenses, and pay him a monthly stipend, for the remainder of his life."

shinohai: Alas the population of tmsr~ dwindles somewhat
pete_dushenski: been a while since the last price bubble, which tends to draw more people into bitcoin in general, a very small percentage of which comb through the crud to find their way here. but the price is often the draw from the outside-in.
pete_dushenski: 'bitcoin in general' ~= the people who talk about bitcoin

cazalla: pete_dushenski, planning more yourself?
pete_dushenski: cazalla: a little sister's (probably) not so bad either. yea, we'll likely have two.
cazalla: trinque, more just checking backups etc still work, still able to logg in and up myself
cazalla: pete_dushenski, long as they're healthy eh, and this little girl is doing fine so far, all the tests were fine, and we were able to find out the sex at 10 weeks in this time around
