BingoBoingo: clover's not so aggressive weeds can't grow through it and it is on the kill list of all the selective weed killers
mircea_popescu: thaty's the idea, it shades well so it dominates if installed properly. and it never grows over coupla inches.
BingoBoingo: It does do well for very dense patches, but hard to make a monoculture lawn out of it, because with the sligtest change in grade or soil, patch ends
BingoBoingo: And you get weird DMZ border area until next patch

☟︎ pete_dushenski: "Any early bitcoin miner or investor now has thousands of bitcoins. Most are Chinese. Each 500 bitcoins is $1 million. These “bitcoin whales” are now very wealthy. They would like to reduce their exposure to bitcoin" << bwahaha this is what passes of "op-ed" in non-qntra circles.

☟︎ mircea_popescu: he ain't gonna say that. true or not true, he's not saying it.
mircea_popescu: there's two kinds of kids on any schoolyard : those who know you're better than them and admit it, and those who know you're better than them and will have to be beaten into shit because of it.
mircea_popescu: and no, there isn't "always someone better". rather, there's always a best.
pete_dushenski: to be sure. and the rest flows from there. like there's always a peak of a waterfall or the top of a mountain. nature paints certain portraits over and over.

pete_dushenski: bbl. all these preggos are reminding me that it's father's day.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, now that makes me curious just how much is too much and how much is perfectly fine and how much is too little
diana_coman: now if you care about that when you die that is indeed too much, lol
diana_coman: leftover care - becomes active at last minute
mircea_popescu: diana_coman when i was about three, they took me to a doctor. it was like a kinda mysterios affair, and it made no sense as i was not sick. the doctor asked me what do i do if i'm hungry ? and i told him i eat. he then asked me what do i do if i'm sleepy, and i said i go to bed. that was it, and everyone was impressed because apparently no fucking kids ever have any sense left.
mircea_popescu: if you get aroused, fuck. what the fuck is a marriage to begin with, let alone "propitious hours" bullshit.
mircea_popescu: you'll know after you're spent if it was going to be any good or not. never before.
diana_coman: uhm, the doctor story is weird re impressed but maybe that was the point of the visit for all I know
mircea_popescu: at the time they did this "normal development" visit with kids.
diana_coman: so if they were impressed it follows it wasn't normal? lolz
mircea_popescu: and since about the invention of writing, so every perverse tard can note down his insanity for later perverse tards to apply.
mircea_popescu: but let the record reflect that it strikes me as the height of batshit insane psychosis to fail to fuck and then misappropriate mathematics into one's psychosis.
diana_coman: I suspect every hole in knowledge (and not only that) might look like... insanity to those who ...simply have a better plug; not even a full plug, just better
mircea_popescu: but seriously, wtf knowledge is it needed to stuff the plug into the prelubricated hole ?
diana_coman: mircea_popescu, this idea that go fuck woman of centuries ago and get yourself pregnant and oh, no worries,what
mircea_popescu: could have simply consisted of "proasta pulii ce esti tu, mori de nefutai inecata in supa de pule."
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i know of no culture outside of the chtonic-inspired anglos who deemed pregnancy as a negative.
mircea_popescu: "you'll get pregnant, good for you, it means your innards work."
diana_coman: ugh, in the right conditions though, not exactly in all cases
diana_coman: honour deaths and all that are not anglo-thing
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform moreover, i am not familiar with the story, nor with the culture, likely reading too much / wrong things into it.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman indians tho, these aren't wanna-be anglo muslims.
diana_coman: I kind of doubt the story is *true* as such, so there is that
mircea_popescu: it's annoying to high heavens. it's one thing to show up at your wedding and go "what a great day for a wedding, let's have two!" and force your first maid into marriage with some randomlty chosen guy. it's the same thing to say "fuck this shit, i don't feel like getting married today, go home all of youze".
mircea_popescu: it is ANOTHER thing to go on about how the cups told you what to do and the spirits and the moasa-sa pe gheata.
diana_coman: I can't say I studied the time+culture of the guy to know, perhaps mircea_popescu knows better what he is talking about; it sounds really highly unlikely to me that it was the case that woman could just go and fuck, hurray, but whatevers
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes because the human cattle aspires to one thing above all, and that is to be relieved of the downside of agency while getting to keep on the sly as much as possible of the upside.
mircea_popescu: and this is also the root and beginning of all insanity.
diana_coman: that's the thing: she had value, not to be wasted /given away to any bum who s/he fell like fucking on the day
mircea_popescu: diana_coman so let her father bring men home rather than write inept shit (which nevertheless was better than whatever europe had, or kamchatka for that matter, peninsulae nobody heard of)
diana_coman: I really think you are reading too much into it; the way I see the thing it's basically a dedication; inept like all dedications if analysed but wtf is there to analyse in the first place
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they all grip the same from behind. ugly prevented no princess to date.
diana_coman: ahahah asciilifeform might have it; maybe not ugly but barren
mircea_popescu: nah cuz the vessel comes with a seal (and yes, the inspiration for babylonian trade, the seals, and amphorae was DEFINITELY the cunt). you can claim it wasn't tried or that it didn't work, these aren't confoundable.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they didn't have the tech to produce mcdonalds princesses in 1100 india.
diana_coman: sure; just that you don't claim *in writing* that it didn't work, lel
diana_coman: at asciilifeform's link it even says it might have been his wife, not his daughter - so maybe it was more of a consolation/precisely the dedication thing I was saying earlier: too busy to fuck, I wrote this book
diana_coman: sure, what of it; all of them were L-whatevers
mircea_popescu: but, if the lived experience of ghandi is any guide, the classical indians did not very pointedly distinguish daughters from wives.
mircea_popescu: how many intelligent indians do you know ? and how many bagawan what's his face, the inept chicago "professor"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there was some nazi ally dude tryting to outs the british cca 1940s
mircea_popescu: well in that sense there's also a mr haagen-dazs. hangs out with mr r mcd.
mircea_popescu: which has succeeded in one aspect : i see india, generally speaking, as a sort of latrine. probably because of these.
mircea_popescu: but, honestly, there's older beefs. srsly, schmucks had steel in 900 and never made tanks ? why ?
mircea_popescu: yes, well, good thing they were writing complicated "thank you for your leadership" pieces of maculature!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i think the discussion has uncovered why exactly it is my bristles stand up. it'd be one thing if a sane place with a sane culture with respectable people churned out a "hey, chick didn't get married because the cups lolz" thing. THEN it would be funny.
mircea_popescu: but when india's involved it's not funny just like tuberculosis cough's not funny.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> asciilifeform they didn't have the tech to produce mcdonalds princesses in 1100 india. << McDonalds or not, Beetus tends to run strong in Indian populations. Perhaps cow-ban is in response to earlier Mc-Hamplanet crisis on subcontinent?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> what's cow gonna do ? diabetes == vegetarian diet << Cow competes for carbs, hard to do if burger
mircea_popescu: the way to end up usflated is a) margerine (gunks up the fat cycle, body ends up dependent on citric cycle for energy) + processed starches (hfcs, potato, whatever)
mircea_popescu: add various complex toxins in there for spice, and you got it.
mircea_popescu: eater of linoleum + soda water CAN'T walk, want to or no.
mircea_popescu: his metabolism costs about 160% what it costs in normal people, and that's it.
