asciilifeform: or does 'not stable' count only falls.
asciilifeform: i dun pray to satan to ask that btc be magically nailed to usd, but words - incl. 'stable' - have meanings..!
BingoBoingo: Are you sure it is stable and not s-table?
mircea_popescu: just funny how topics are of interest or not according to you know, political expediency.
mircea_popescu occasionalyl goes by poor people summons in this city, asking obrero women to gather for classes in home economics, how to not get beaten by husband, and "vegetarian" cooking.
mircea_popescu: great to be a vegetarian when one can't afford to buy meat.
mircea_popescu: "vegetarian - just like $random-ustarian-starlet. for different reasons altogether, but who's cuntin'."
BingoBoingo: From the mines: "Ms. Dyspnea: "Bullshit. I asked the nurse if I could just get the oxygen in my IV, and she said she couldn't do that. We all know she could just take off this stupid mask and plug it into my IV instead." "

I WILL NEVER SUBMIT!!11eleventy"
mircea_popescu: fucking idiots already.
mircea_popescu: this sort of femtard is approximately equal to the "driving expert" who spends most of her time on her bike watching the cars go by from behind the fence.
mircea_popescu: what approximately. EXACTLY.
BingoBoingo: Not to mention signs up for all this debt to... what? Pay for "memories" other people are getting 4Phree?
BingoBoingo: Not to mention at a place with protests, but not real protests
mircea_popescu: memories my fuckstick.
mircea_popescu: the neurotic mind of the typical millennial is incapable of what you and i call memory just like the brainfried derps on wall street are incapable of banking. pokemon go, "revolutionizing", stuff like that. but "housewife" can't fucking cook and college student can't fucking remember.
asciilifeform: '25,000. That’s the number of single dollar bills that I will eventually have to pay back. ' << wtf
asciilifeform: that aint even money
asciilifeform: 200k is moar typical
asciilifeform: and why the mention of paper bills...?
mircea_popescu: it is money for slave.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Probably "thinks" it has 25kilo dollars in debt
mircea_popescu: anyway, you gotta make room in the model for the me-toos, who are most of it by weight. for every whewish princess that goes to vassar / wesleyan "cuz that's where hillary sent her kids" bla bla and blows "cost my parents about 250k... about 10k a year" on chinese calligraphy and clowning double major,
mircea_popescu: there's a hundred to a thousand daughters of "single parent" families with fucking siblings, ie, whoredaughters, who instead of joining their mother's brothel go to "community college" and end up with just about enough "college debt" to cover a decent party weekend. IN FOUR YEARS.
asciilifeform: sounds like a buyer's market!111
asciilifeform: if anyone needed them for anything.
mircea_popescu: everything's a buyer's market once money actually exists. which is so fucking important for the stupid party that money doesn't exist.
mircea_popescu: commerce is not all need. who NEEDED pomodori or spices? yet these non-needs drove the age of trade.
mircea_popescu: (tomato is called goldenfruit in italian because they saw it first, and when they saw it the shit cost its weight in gold pretty much)
mircea_popescu: anyway, i look forward to the reintroduction of that ancient italian tradition of the whore family.
mircea_popescu: about fucking time.
asciilifeform: was it even paused ? or what do you suppose the college chix do with their time?
mircea_popescu: they eat government cheese in the government vat and dream,
mircea_popescu: which is unseemly.
mircea_popescu: the relation between she-ustard and tradition-whore is about the same as between chicken liver and a mouse.
mircea_popescu: you don't usually get to see either. but for different reasons altogether.
asciilifeform: a few hr/day , here, in the evening they go to the rape pits, voluntarily, beer-lubricated
mircea_popescu: they are "similarly squishy". one can survive on its own, and does.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i wouldn't call the "normal" encounters anything as noble as rape. it's servicing.
mircea_popescu: i have nfi why the dudes are dumb enough to not expect to be paid.
mircea_popescu: the work - and it IS work - involved in the average encounter known as a "hook up" or "one night stand" is a lot closer to nursing an elderly stupid patient than to fucking.
BingoBoingo: Current arrangement is Daddy Bahamas pays the girls to fuck the dudes
mircea_popescu: and in general, nurses do the dirst work for moneys.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo it ain't even close to fucking unless they call it "rape".
BingoBoingo: Fine "stick it in and maek babby"
mircea_popescu: more like "is it ok if i take your blouse off ? are you ok ? can i remove your panties now ? aren't we going too fast ?" blablabla.
mircea_popescu: caring guys with a greatsense of humor, the world's worst paid nurses.
mircea_popescu: and somehow nobody's concerned about their exploitation, either. if they were worthelss 5 yo curry eaters making soccer apparel everyone'd be up in arms.
mircea_popescu: but the legion of poor, hopeless, bropariahs, doing the dirty work of nursing stupid cunts, nobody cares about those.
asciilifeform: does this shit even exist outside of ustard mythology?
mircea_popescu: which shit ?
asciilifeform: this 'nursing'
mircea_popescu: most of the reason my usual "we're going to the party now. take off your clothes ; keep your knees apart at all times" is so insta-delicious. much like icecream in a world of gruel.
deedbot: [Qntra] Royal Dutch Shell Shocked! Losses! - http://qntra.net/2016/07/royal-dutch-shell-shocked-losses/
mircea_popescu: awww, i thought oil hurt russia not the good guys.
mircea_popescu: this economix stuff is confusing my 25k communitard college degree.
BingoBoingo: Shame your cashiering job doesn't offer the right kind of experience with money to have perspective either
mircea_popescu: yeah. sometimes i feel i'm gonna break down and cry.
mircea_popescu: nowhere to go nothing to do with my time...
BingoBoingo: Don't worry. You'll just go to bar, make baby, and discover each baby comes with a raise.
BingoBoingo: Anyways soon Obama/Clinton will make weed legal and then all problems may be toked/vaped under the rug.
mircea_popescu: i thought flying-hairmat is making it legal.
BingoBoingo: flying hairmat is a wild card, and electoral "mystery box"
BingoBoingo: Mebbe that gets legal. Mebbe castor oil?
mircea_popescu: watch him win and announce the dissolution of nato as part of his inauguration speech.
BingoBoingo: Or mebbe announce new NATO membership structure of pay hairmat treasure or drink castor oil? Should be enough for Italeave
mircea_popescu: "the us still got enough juice to defend ITSELF. and as to the rest of you bitches - talk to greece, they're like... cool and shit. ask'em."
asciilifeform: last fella who hinted at possible delizardification was named kennedy.
asciilifeform: and scattered brainz
mircea_popescu: the hint is above. nowwhat.
mircea_popescu: there's a price to pay for the idiotic pretense put up by the gop. when a woman does it, the custom is to slide the knife in her asshole before the penis, to cut her sphyncter permanently.
mircea_popescu: similar principle likely applies - the military-industrials SHOULD have had the fucking sense to bring their party to heel. that they didn't calls for bloodletting.
asciilifeform: from my perch, mr t is not electable, unless he mccains and promises, answerable with his arse and his woman-sausages, to play ball, and prolly not then, either.
mircea_popescu: i know :)
mircea_popescu: the only problem is that the implied agent in "electable" is not an agent in this play.
asciilifeform: nobody's defunding lockheed et al. whoever is stubborn enough to bribe diebold et al to keep finger off the cheat button and win, will eat some 'bad shellfish' during some party dinner and that'll be that.
asciilifeform: usa, unlike most orc shitholes, has a well-curated electoral zoo, and this kind of thing is rare. but it happens.
mircea_popescu: if trump had any sense, lockheed, northrop & friends are FULLY defunded the same day, and are allowed the mercy to perhaps beg for SOME SMALL PORTION of re-funding, maybe, someday.
mircea_popescu: and it's literally, and plainly stated. "there won't be a next time for you. but if there were a 2nd last time, you'd better make damn sure the republican party crowns me from day one and on its knees. bitches."
asciilifeform: does mircea_popescu recall the 'auspicious incident' ?
asciilifeform: when janissary corps was dissolved
mircea_popescu: recall the butchery that yielded once the prophet';s flag was brought forth ?
asciilifeform: who is the new parallel corps now?
mircea_popescu: iirc it was the jannisary baracks, not the palace, that ended up mme la marquise'd.
asciilifeform: them janissaries won't gut themselves
asciilifeform: need new corps
mircea_popescu: all the disenfranchised idiots in the us want is the butchery of the military-industrials. they're on incredibru thin ice as it is.
mircea_popescu: let the president tell tyrone it's ok to take the army's weapons.
asciilifeform: ask a bmore ape what is grumman
mircea_popescu: baltimore police dept was ALREADY told to stfu and sit indoors like womenz once.
mircea_popescu: test run.
asciilifeform: betcha he will sooner know who was mozart
mircea_popescu: the campaign clearly moved into "nuclear option" territory, what with hillary doing the pot dance.
asciilifeform: told by ape mayor , in league with the other monkeyz
mircea_popescu: the specific idiocy of the libertards is that they imagine themselves doing "the utmost", most scandalous outrageous move and so will win!
mircea_popescu: but this imagination is predicated on mental gymnastics, the disavowal of the obvious tit for the tat.
mircea_popescu: "you legalize pot to win, i make it legal for anyone with college debt to take anything they want from us armed forces depot"
asciilifeform: hey it worked to elect obummer
asciilifeform: there will be no freicorps in usa, because the ballz, they were stolen.
mircea_popescu: "revolutionary guards" manned by "students" are nothing new. very, very far from new.
mircea_popescu: about as new as spring water.
asciilifeform: precisely, old
asciilifeform: you need, at worst, 20th c - grade meat.
asciilifeform: it dun exist here.
mircea_popescu: this is what's said before, every fucking time.
mircea_popescu: the REASON it exists is specifically that prior it didn't exist.
mircea_popescu: do you know why room blows up ? not BECAUSE "there was already flame there". but specificially, exactly because THERE WASNT.
asciilifeform: recall the 'shit in a hole for 5 years' thread?
mircea_popescu: for as long as there's open fire it an't explode.

ben_vulpes: lotuses suck nao?
pete_dushenski: musk took a lotus rolling chassis, added 5k laptop batteries, cobbled the whole thing together in true british shedding fashion, and sold the result to a few demokrats and even more investors
mircea_popescu: didn't use to suck, years ago
ben_vulpes: i thought they were moderately expensive, barebones, fast and stiff little vehicles
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: they supposedly drive well. but they're still british (ie. won't start when cloudy)
ben_vulpes: they run toyota engines, right?

pete_dushenski: the early elise had some other 1.6L british engine iirc
ben_vulpes: would *love* to have pushed one of the electric-drive ones around. not as a useful car thing, but as a dope little driving chassis with an electric powertrain.
asciilifeform: fact is, prior to musk there were no electromobile with ~reasonable range.
asciilifeform: like, or dislike - same.
pete_dushenski: just, it was a 1.8L, but 'rover' made engine in the early lotus elise
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: don't forget xerox ui
asciilifeform: i bet even mircea_popescu could not buy a xerox 'dorado'.
asciilifeform: how many even made? 100?

hanbot: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-28#1510942 << haha, cool. and no, i wouldn't be surprised if someone here finds it and harangues me for unauthorizedly publishing their exact history or w/e
a111: Logged on 2016-07-28 19:35 asciilifeform: ;;later tell hanbot 'alcachofa 7515' is mega-story. i can almost apprehend the sheer vacuum inside the argentine heads now!111
mircea_popescu: trinque 1880s rate, apud caragiale.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-28 23:34 trinque: I am not here to pay for consequences like somebody's child, merely to buy a product
trinque: not at fucking all.
trinque: you do not get to tally up the sum total of effect something has on the univese itself and try to derive a price from that
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-28#1511290 << y'know, just because envirocrats impose tax on usaschwitz inmates, to pay for al gore's yachts - does not mean that externalities dun exist.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-28 23:34 trinque: this is the fucking carbon credits argument
asciilifeform: trinque: i get to tally the cost of unambiguously petro-related atrocities.
asciilifeform: not 'universe'.
trinque: cost and effect are not synonyms
asciilifeform: no amount of sophistry will get you folks out of this one. we pay the cost of burning dino every time we take breath, for instance.
asciilifeform: and it ~is~ a cost.
trinque: I wonder how many other idiot languages conflate monetary cost and "prevents alternate possible outcome"
trinque: probably all of them
trinque: as in, "the train wreck cost him his life"
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-28#1511256 << i eagerly await article explaining how $100 petrobarrel becomes $.25 litre
a111: Logged on 2016-07-28 23:23 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-28#1511123 << not for a second. without usg, gas is ~25 cents at the pump. it FEEDS the usgolade, not eats from it.
trinque: that is not fucking monetary at all
asciilifeform: trinque: generally a deliberate bargain is implied - otherwise, 'living cost him his life'
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: $44 barrel nets $2 gallon at the pump. $100 barrel closer to $4 per gal at the pump.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu claims ~actual~ cost is ~25c, earlier.
pete_dushenski: when discussing proportions, it's essential to keep in mind what our priors are. don't be the vacuum thinking kid from the recent contravex comments
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: elaborate?
asciilifeform: i dun get it?
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: basically, costs and prices fluctuate and you can't just cherrypick historical numbers to suit your theory.
pete_dushenski: so bitcoin was once a buck. what of it ?
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: my original contention had nothing to do with a particular price.
pete_dushenski: but your latter contention did.
asciilifeform: but that ~nobody paid anything like the actual cost of his petro-ride at the pump, in half a century or so.
asciilifeform: the rest - socialized.
asciilifeform: and that this is just as loathesome as obummercare.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: why only in last half-century ? what changed ?
asciilifeform: saudi getting to pretend that they are people, and have ownership of their fossils?
asciilifeform: americans cancerously growing to the point where they import by the megatonne?
asciilifeform: largely these, afaik.
pete_dushenski: so non-people helping non-people... i fail to see the issue here. saudis have far more culture, however lamentable you may find it, than americanos.
pete_dushenski: structure, rules, hierarchy, the lot. saudis have. usians don't.
asciilifeform: what planet's usa did pete_dushenski visit..?
pete_dushenski: besides, everything alive grows to the point where it can't grow anymore.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: of the social form, not the 'we wrote this on a piece of paper and now it means things and we also made lots and lots of signs everywhere so that you never forget what we wrote on the pieces of paper'
pete_dushenski: the two are not of one kind.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: this entire thread reminds me of a uniquely-american, incidentally, pasttime: impassioned defense of the heathen imperial system of weights&measures
pete_dushenski: anyways, i have to beat this rainstorm heading my way. having left the 16cyls parked, cycling and all. i'll read the continuation in the logs but it'll be a few busy days until i'm voiced again.
asciilifeform: 'petro is mainstream, ubiquitous, easy, fuck off with the weird'
asciilifeform: 'gallon and inch forever'.
trinque: ey mod6 ^
asciilifeform: trinque: deedbot really ought not shit where it has nit eaten, imho.
trinque: it didn't.
trinque: this is in the logs.
asciilifeform: it evaled for 4 hrs?!
trinque: blockchain was a bit behind on the node, but yes, farts bundle URLs now
shinohai: Finally! been waiting on that for some time trinque lol
trinque: my observation is that my node will get behind, then rapidly catch up if restarted
trinque: I might find time to investigate why soon
asciilifeform: trinque: this comes from the idiot socket handler
asciilifeform: enemy can hog sockets and never let go
trinque: yeah, sounds about rihgt
asciilifeform: iirc i described this in detail some time last year.
asciilifeform bbl - playing with pet...
trinque: cya
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: consider a bouncer. logins and self-voicings is unnecessary opsec bit-leakage.
ben_vulpes: "kindergarten opsec lessons!11!" as asciilifeform would say
ben_vulpes: to continue the exercise, for students, every time pete_dushenski is logged in and self-voiced, he may be assumed to be in physical proximity to his keys.
mod6: <+trinque> ey mod6 ^ << hey, thanks again trinque. o7
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> and it ~is~ a cost. << so far, it's "alf got drunk one day, went on an abstruse rant".
mircea_popescu: i eagerly await article explaining how $100 petrobarrel << i dunno what you think this sort of nonsense achieves. what in fact it achieves is "oh look, alf has nfi what stuff costs, but he wants to derp about how it works". it's a bad habit.
mircea_popescu: ~nobody paid anything like the actual cost << if you mean "the cost to make huge ferns, stuff them into earth, make oil", then yes. this is however no argument : nobody pays, nor could anyone ever pay, the "cost to re-do big bang".
mircea_popescu: want it or not, some level of denied externality is baked into life, not just human life bu life altogether. most people grok this point when contemplating lord kelivn's universal death idea.
BingoBoingo: In other news, some derp is dreaming about mustering enough miners to 51% the ethereum chain that didn't hardfork in a time travel theft. Idiot appears to be neglecting that much hash would make his chain vulnerable.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-29#1511386 << argument concerned simple principle: if folks dun feel like counting gulf war I and II, and ~all~ wahabbi derpery, etc. as 'part of cost of petro', i can just as readily say that fukushima, chernobyl are 'not in the cost' of fission-power. etc

asciilifeform: laugh at both, or neither, or you have unprincipled-exception.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-28#1510902 << this is a good point, actually. gotta be looked into, sealing gotta seal all the crevices. << noted. I dug into this at one point, but got side tracked by other pressing things that came up at the time.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-28 19:13 asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-28#1510893 << this is useful and necessary but, sad as it is to rain on parade: buildroot downloads 10,001 turds.
mod6: I'm trying to remember the specifics. I can't seem to recall too much about it.
mod6: I'd have to dig through the logs. I'll turn my attention to that at some point soon after I get an updated build script out there.
