mircea_popescu: so basically what, "commercial immunity" ? we can make any add for satan himself, as long as we're getting paid ?
BingoBoingo: Safer to make ads for satan. Recognizable brand. Customers know what they get when the Buy Satan.
mircea_popescu: lol that's a point
BingoBoingo: With the caveat that you only advertise for Satan under his own brand.
BingoBoingo: Using the ponzi label when advertising a Ponzi anytime after the historical ponzi's bust... fine. Advertizing ponzi under any other brand like Pirateat40, not fine.

BingoBoingo: Hello Maryjane
Maryjane: Hi
Maryjane: :)
xanthyos: hi
BingoBoingo: What brings you around these parts?
Maryjane: Xan
Maryjane: :)
xanthyos: Maryjane is a bee expert
Maryjane: Hehehe
Maryjane: Yeah winter is boring
mircea_popescu: o, srsly, you raise bees ?
kakobrekla: 10000 elements in 60 seconds (166.67 elements/s)

kakobrekla: 10000 elements in 21 seconds (476.19 elements/s)
kakobrekla: :D
kakobrekla: 833 e/s
kakobrekla: not too shabby eh
kakobrekla: 1k now
decimation: asciilifeform: amusing story. the moral: once a wasp - always a wasp until death or total victory
Maryjane: Yes
Maryjane: It's wintering season atm though
decimation: apiculture is an ancient and honorable profession
Maryjane: It's creation
Maryjane: :)
decimation: Maryjane: do you live in the usa?
Maryjane: Yes
decimation: what do you make of the panic with respect to the africanized bees coming from the south?
Maryjane: It's over panicked
decimation: seems to me that the main danger is letting neglected properties become fully infested
Maryjane: Italians and carni's are what we raise here usually, but bees even African iced are highly adapted creatures. The African iced ones are forced into a place they don't thrive. It's like how the Russian bees don't do well here either
Maryjane: Afrocanized*
Maryjane: Pollen flow is very different
decimation: I suspect the best 'solution' is to interbreed the africanized bees with other species and select against aggressive broods.
xanthyos: and make the perfect broodwich
Maryjane: Yes. They could. But that could go either good or bad
decimation: how could it go bad?
Maryjane: Because any breed can Africanize even italians or carnolians
Maryjane: Or Caucasians
xanthyos: sicilians are africanized italians
decimation: interesting. apparently the bees are are aware of the 'one drop' rule
Maryjane: Yes
Maryjane: They'll adapt by themselves
Maryjane: They have since before our years
Maryjane: I've worked with aggressive carnolians
Maryjane: They made a new queen and she calmed the whole colony
decimation: heh. interesting.
xanthyos: !up Maryjane
Maryjane: I like russian bees.
decimation: apparently carniolan bees are from romania
decimation: how are russian bees different?
Maryjane: Their propolis production
decimation: do you have problems with mites?
Maryjane: Carnolians are great they originated in like the southern Austrian alps and Danube valley
Maryjane: Yes
Maryjane: Mites are always here
Maryjane: Varroa
Maryjane: We treat with powdered sugar to help that issue
decimation: do the russian bees seem more resistant to the mites? It appears the gov't thinks that's the case.
Maryjane: Yes
Maryjane: Their immune system is stronger against varroa than carnolians
Maryjane: Italians are ok
xanthyos: agreed!
Maryjane: They aren't too bothered by varroa
decimation: the russian sage in front of my home was filled with bees this summer, they are gone now
Maryjane: We had epic basswood honey this yr
xanthyos: r
Maryjane: It was soo white
Maryjane: The comb. Unf.
decimation: have you seen colony collapse disorder?
Maryjane: Yes
Maryjane: The queen starts laying drones
Maryjane: She gets weak
xanthyos: do you think it's related at all to cell phone tower radiation?
Maryjane: Could very well be
Maryjane: It's also gmos
decimation: eh, I think that theory is crazy. much more likely is widespread pesticide us
decimation: use
decimation: cell phone radiation just doesn't affect things that much
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla elements ?
Maryjane: Any man made pesticide will weaken their immune system but plant based is ok
Maryjane: Bees actually use plants as pesticides

Maryjane: There's varying reason
cazalla: i wanted to get into bees this spring but council regs won't permit it :\
mircea_popescu: <decimation> apparently carniolan bees are from romania ?<< yeah.
Maryjane: I treat
Maryjane: 7000 lbs this yr but I worked commercially
mircea_popescu: cazalla you need a permit to keep bees ?!
Maryjane: We lost some due to wax moth damage
decimation: Maryjane: do you move your hives long distances to pollinate?
Maryjane: Yes
cazalla: mircea_popescu, you need to register for a licence, another keep has to come check out your hive, hive cannot be within x distance of other homes plus others
Maryjane: Well my boss did
Maryjane: I personally just want my hives here
mircea_popescu: nuts.
Maryjane: My boss has bees in ga and California and vermont
decimation: cazalla: the People continue to wage war on anything unusual
mircea_popescu: back in romania, pretty much any old guy that's not a fucktard keeps bees
Maryjane: That's a part of beekeeping
cazalla: i could host the hive elsewhere but defeats the added benefit of having the bees in the backyard to help pollinate veg and fruit trees
mircea_popescu: in the countryside i mean.
decimation: Maryjane: in California for the almonds?
Maryjane: Yes
Maryjane: :)
Maryjane: Almond Honey tastes like leather shoes
Maryjane: Ew
Maryjane: Lol
decimation: yeah but almonds are delicious, I'm glad for the bees.
Maryjane: Same
Maryjane: Almond expenses go to ppl like me too
Maryjane: So buy them lol
Maryjane: Bees are extremely expensive both money and time wise
decimation: mircea_popescu: I suspect that any farmer who actually plans on living on his own harvest is much the same
decimation: the bees are worth their wage when they pollinate more efficiently than the alternatives
Maryjane: Most hobbyists I know here cannot keep up with keeping the bees tho
xanthyos: that would be a fun job; transporting colonies
Maryjane: It is
Maryjane: Especially down the Champlain valley
xanthyos: and watching them interact with a stranger colony
Maryjane: Mmf
xanthyos: like first contact
decimation: Maryjane: what are the main expenses? seems to me you just need to harvest the honey every once in awhile
Maryjane: 7 days a week
decimation: for a small hive?
Maryjane: U have to move brood and honey for expansion, clean out drone caps, treat and feed.
Maryjane: U could lose a queen any day
Maryjane: Should have more than 1 hive
decimation: if the colony swarms?
Maryjane: Yes
Maryjane: Which u can save that colony from moving brood frames.
Maryjane: From ur other colonies
Maryjane: They'll draw s new queen
decimation: so they swap places basically?
Maryjane: Yes
decimation: yeah I can see how this would pose some difficulties keeping track of what is going on
decimation: !up Maryjane
decimation: well I'm going to retire for the evening, thanks for the interesting conversation
Maryjane: Same I'm sleepy :F
Maryjane: Goodnight :)
decimation: goodnight.

mircea_popescu: well, exactly how the loss is distributed inside the system is a diff story.
mircea_popescu: fact remains, cc nonsense mostly bleeds cash out of the nato structure.
asciilifeform: ru sp4mz0r steals cc #, charges 10k usd. on, e.g., 'amazon'; chumper reads his bill, complains, bank magically vacuums 10k+C (positive constant C, chargeback penalty) from 'amazon', plasma tv is nowhere to be found (drop house, magicked away)
mircea_popescu: exactly.
asciilifeform: this is permitted to exist in precisely this form - for a reason. this is bezzlatron's way of making folks who don't want $consumercrud - buy it whether want or not.

There are attempts at it, but it falls flatter than William Hung's face. Remember that William Hung reference folks, because it's as obscure and
