mircea_popescu: (btw, my 3x above is correct figure, obtained fgrom busy bar/club experience. the surface doesn't do it justice, you need 150% longer to use a toilet to pee than if you peed on the wall.)

mircea_popescu: if you can't shit squatting / wash naked with 100 other dudes you go straight overboard in a sack.
mircea_popescu: tbh, if i ran the us navy it'd be all urinals -- but wall style not separates ; and turkish toilets (no enclosure). and all showers are open space.
asciilifeform: and why does a ship even need urinals ? piss over the rail.
phf: "When he is designing a bathroom, Kaufman says he is required to allot around 1,500 square inches of space for a urinal. A toilet needs more than 3,300 square inches. … “Why would you want the ship to be bigger just for fixtures?” said Kaufman. “You can get twice as many urinals as water closets.”"
mircea_popescu: the REASON urinals exist is because you can satisfy about 3x as many toilet needs per unit space thios way.

phf: this version is not bad either "- Хуяссе. Охуели? Нахуя дохуя хуйни нахуярили? Розхуяривайте нахуй. - Нихуя, хули. Захуярено нехуево, нахуя расхуяривать?"
mod6: i've been trying to pick up some russian just from all the damn unicode pasted in here.
mircea_popescu: precisely because as you say, then you lose it.
mircea_popescu: i trust no other.
mod6: yeah, they are pretty close huh
mircea_popescu: anyway, portuguese and spanish are the lulziest in this vein. at some party i chatted with this girl for a little, and eventually i asked her why does she have such a thick accent ? "because i'm speaking portuguese".
mod6: I learned german first, and that took me about 6mos to a year when i was 11 or 12. then when i was ~18 i learned spanish in like... well pretty quick, 2-3 mos. its easy.
mod6: I suppose for me, the trouble with my german and spanish is usage. i never get to use it, so I tend to lose it :<
mircea_popescu: only works after the 12th.
mircea_popescu: i was reading the ro review and it came out "better rewrite than translate".
mod6: ah, right. all .ro. i used to just translate the stuff. however, it was mentioned in the logs, since im not sure what exactly is being lost in such translations.
