trinque: excellent article BingoBoingo
BingoBoingo: ty trinque
trinque: watching the "love will overcome" rhetoric flow in reaction to this, it boggles that gays are literally spouting christianity.
trinque: the inclusive mind is a schizoid mind.
BingoBoingo: Also the American right was half right. Sanctity of marrirage attacked, BUT from the legal side.
BingoBoingo thinks danielpbarron may appreciate latest qntra.
trinque: the govt must be able to break any rules if it means "just one person" (TM) (R) avoids discomfort

asciilifeform: i dun see the man as having even vague chance
mircea_popescu: he seems the favourite actually.
mircea_popescu: anyway, nobody cares what the woman thinks. she's not liable to touch it either way, 8 more years of obama.

I've trained my team to identify this type of person, and intentionally give them an inconsequential fight before agreeing. It actually leads to faster time to resolution and something like a 10% reduction in overall handle time."

asciilifeform: '"He later told the nuns that police had tried to steal the money that he was trying to donate," Ritondo said. "There are dollars, yen, euros and a currency from Qatar ... It's a lot of money." He did not give an exact amount because the money was still being counted.' << l0l

BingoBoingo: $up felipelalli
deedbot: felipelalli voiced for 30 minutes.
felipelalli: hi BingoBoingo! Great article.
BingoBoingo: thank you
mircea_popescu: shinohai the socialists (partido justicialista, kirschner's people) had been i npower for decades. the change to other group of thieves (the us-soviets, macri & co) was full of animosity as you'd expect, and now that they're in power the looting proceeds at a feverish pace.
BingoBoingo: Looters looting looters, oh my.
mircea_popescu: was a thing before where they stole ~200 cars some dude was keeping in storage on his own farm in the deserted inner argentina, because "obviously" they didn't belong to him "really".
mircea_popescu: imagine the sort of imbecile orc ruler that "saves" in fucking cars.
BingoBoingo: seriously, storing cars in a way that they don't rot and can run when you take them out of storage is a challenge
mircea_popescu: quite. and the pampa is very windy.
BingoBoingo: Not like a rifle you can just stuff full of cosmoline. Car has more tubes to get cosmoline out of later.
BingoBoingo kind of surprised Kohler doesn't to his knowledge make rifles
BingoBoingo: Kohler seems to do a decent job making toilets, motors, and all sorts of other tub based products.

asciilifeform: speaking of which
asciilifeform: phf: can haz scans ?
phf: i'm massaging them, i should be done within a month or so
mircea_popescu: and add "invidious" to the list of terms the web can't define.
asciilifeform: 'BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — A Romanian court has ruled that an investigation into the 1989 revolution where 1,104 people died can be reopened. Romania has been criticized for failing to investigate the revolution, where mainly unarmed demonstrators were shot dead around Romania from Dec. 17-30 as they protested against Communist leader Nicolae Ceausescu.'
mircea_popescu: it doesn't mean whatever random crap google returns. invidious is the opposite of pious : when one who is inferior, instead of worshipping his superior, instead fancies himself his superior's equal.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform guy's dead so now they can convict him, i guess.
asciilifeform: no word re the american snipers in bucharest '89, or moscow '93, or venezuela '02, ...., ...
mircea_popescu: they were lebanese!
mircea_popescu: the press said at the time
mircea_popescu: terrorists from syria and lebanon!
asciilifeform: shooting crowd in bucharest aha.
mircea_popescu: dun worry about it too much though, the russian assraped the us undercover folks something fierce.
asciilifeform: how's that
mircea_popescu: cuz they came in, with ~exact knowledge of who's who, and rolled up just about all of em.
mircea_popescu: i doubt any of them was ever heard from again. but hey, sikrits.
asciilifeform: somehow this did not damper the recruitment of new ones, every year, to shoot the crowd in new cities
asciilifeform: 'we control vertical and horizontal!' (tm) (r)
mircea_popescu: there's ~500 mn idiots without anything to do with themselves. finding a few hundred a year to do this is no particularly notable feat.
mircea_popescu: even the broom shoots once etc.
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, teh us foreign service is sharply divided : either work for nsa & co, for very little money doing very stupid/boring shit ; or else work for dea & co for as much money as you can steal, doing rather stupid exciting shit that will 28% get you killed.
ben_vulpes: there's also lockheed martin for a notbad bundle and zero risk
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: there is also being an accountant, what of it
mircea_popescu: you have to actually have abilities for that.
mircea_popescu: i was discussing the sewage drains.
mircea_popescu: i guess the only way the tits are going over time is down.
asciilifeform: 'The photo above was posted recently to JQP Facebook as a means of commenting on the exorbitant waste of the Air Force’s multiple annual gatherings of its grand poobahs. Their gatherings, nicknamed “Corona” conferences, drain money, time, focus, and manpower from an already depleted Air Force in order to swaddle the service’s generals in the comfort of Earthly deification as they absorb formal dinners and presentations adding
asciilifeform: marginal value but inflating their already bloated sense of self-importance. In response to one of these posts, the individual’s active duty Air Force chain of command, based at Wright-Patterson, placed him under investigation, barred him from his workplace, and ordered him to cease commenting on JQP.'
asciilifeform: ~same flavour as leonid brezhnev's big hunts.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes the best part ? "whole the USAF doesn't suspect foul play". fancy this wonder.
mircea_popescu: "database lost" ; "it contained all sorts of incriminating evidence". clearly, no foul play. because this can happen now.
ben_vulpes: right?
ben_vulpes: tis a marvel
asciilifeform: and backup is not a thing.
mircea_popescu: insanity.
ben_vulpes: well, at this time!
mircea_popescu: and these people seriously expect to be treated differently from asphalt scrape ? why ? how ?
ben_vulpes: they may change their mind, you see.
mircea_popescu: "legal proceedings" ? what the ever loving fuck, go back to the trees.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes ie, should outrage force them to get off their asses, they don't want to admit they changed course.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform basically "we're poor and everyone else should be poor also" usian invidy ?
ben_vulpes: the no backups thing is ultralarious
ben_vulpes: > no backups
ben_vulpes: > responsible for plans for 'cutting edge' us jets
ben_vulpes: gimmeafugginbreak
mircea_popescu: forget the plans, that's just engineering. THEY LOST THE ONLY COPY OF PROOF OF CRIMINAL ACTIVITY.
ben_vulpes: i ain't even mad anymore, just amused, and pleased at how easily the whole thing should melt apart.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: so they're pathetic stoolies, what of it. what else have they been for decades?
mircea_popescu: well... let them admit it.
ben_vulpes: they just did, to anyone with half a brain
mircea_popescu: btw, i think this is actually rather qntrable, if you feel like it.
ben_vulpes: unfortunately there are like 12 functioning brains wandering around north america
mircea_popescu: yes, but that excludes themselves. let them admit it TO THEMSELVES.
ben_vulpes: there's nobody to cane them into accepting the reality of the world.
mircea_popescu: i guess the other point here is that no, the f-whatever ain't ever gonna fly.
asciilifeform: it 'flies' every bit as much as every other machine.
asciilifeform: as money furnace.
asciilifeform: and plenty adequate for dropping rockets on sand monkeys armed with peashooter.
mircea_popescu: just as long as the russians, the chinese and the republic each received its respective tax.
asciilifeform: hence the resurrected 'missile shield' derpage - usg is again seeing the appeal of first strike
mircea_popescu: let it derp all it wants, after it paid what it owes.
asciilifeform: wake me up when it pays a cent.
mircea_popescu: this may be the most amusing argument a taxpayer might ever present
mircea_popescu: "your honor, i've been delinquent in my obligations, therefore i don't have them"
asciilifeform: works great for the moneyprinter state.
mircea_popescu: not so. so far they're paying through the nose, a good two thirds of anything their subjects consume being the usg's own contribution.
mircea_popescu: lol @ antpool.
BingoBoingo: What did they do nao?

mod6: thestringpuller: so, one thing i can tell for sure from your dpaste is that you're not running the latest trb tree.
mod6: not sure what else might be the problem there though.
shinohai: it seems to be working for me, was gonna try an arch install tomorrow
thestringpuller: i'm not but it ~was~ working
thestringpuller: why did it wedge there?
mod6: not sure.
mod6: mine is happily running along past that block. mine is fully caught up.
mod6: do you have the cutblock code in your build?
thestringpuller: how can I output my current tree with v.pl?
mod6: ./v.pl f
mod6: that'll tell me what is in your patches dir, but not necessarily what you actually built. you haven't said yet what you built or how.
mod6: since your version shows 50400, it makes me inclined to think that you have some downlevel version since it should say 99999 if you have the latest.
thestringpuller: i built with stator
mod6: any particular reason?
mod6: i would try building with the latest and see.
thestringpuller: what additional patches do i need to add?
mod6: follow these steps if need be: http://wiki.deedbot.org/The%20Real%20Bitcoin

thestringpuller: how can I check what pathces have been applied?
thestringpuller: okay nvm i see it's manually been applied
mod6: if you use the script referenced above, it'll verbosely print out the patches being applied. which you can log into a file.
