mp_en_viaje: but, fundamentally, what you ask for doesn't exist because the russkis are morons ; and not a little morons, as in neglectful. they're thoroughly and fractally fucked in the head, and thereby they've made for themselves such a history of the 20th century, ~through fucking living it~ as no sane human being could readily follow.
mp_en_viaje: after that, things will snap into meaning as time goes by and you happen to read things, which is exactly what a local intelectual (or however you'd call the cultural dominant class) does anyway.
mp_en_viaje: you can read as much of its links and references as you have the time / stomach / patience for ; you will not become knowledgeable thereby, but you will become more capable of distinguishing between useful and useless source material than you are now, and importantly : capable enough to trust yourself (though to some degree you're evidently capable even now, i suspect the absence of that last element's what irks you).
mp_en_viaje: ike the former read the one true book as there isn't such a thing, it's that the former spent days upon days and weeks and weeks and years fucking around with a broken thing and its disparate legs and probiscii -- would be picking up sheila fitzpatrick's swansong (revisionism in soviet history).
mp_en_viaje: the only apptroach available, short of learning russian, polish, romanian, german, and going blind on reconstructive work through archives and choice secondary sources (chosen how ?) -- which is precisely what "we"'ve done, if passively and over time nevertheless still to the tune of thousands of hours, the difference between one "from there" and "not from there" is like the difference between "familiar with windows" and "unfamiliar" : it's not l

mp_en_viaje: so it comes down to the brass tacks, how low can you keep the costs of making breakfast and how likely the chick's to run off etc.
billymg: in terms of what i'd see myself doing, i think the most important task for the rest of my life is to protect my keys, if i can do that then i should be fine
mp_en_viaje: mind that owning real estate [as a business] in foreign jurisdictions, esp exotic ones, is generally very demanding of the owner, in terms of business acumen and experience and etc.
billymg: i also thought of a small b&b in tamarindo, to generate income, plus something else with more acreage to live on further inland. i also know a girl here, who already speaks spanish and is entrepreneurial herself, who could be relied upon to run such a b&b
mp_en_viaje: depends what you want and what you're doing, kinda the problem here is, a very general question can't possibly get but the most useless of vague answers.
mp_en_viaje: prolly a better bet to buy real estate in ukraina or syria than costa rica. it's always good to buy in places the pantsuits just finished "helping" and sell in places they're just about to start "helping".
mp_en_viaje: businesswise i dunno, if you have some kinda insider tip then it may work for you ; but in the general i suspect cr is actually overbought as it stands, and while the effect may be least noticeable in the rural edges, there's a reason for this -- marginality dampens, meaning the tiny sliver of overboughtness spilled all the way to over there is actually fair and market supported, meaning good times won't propagate any better.

billymg: confederacy of dunces was a great read, also had me laughing out loud nearly the whole way through
mp_en_viaje: by one john kennedy toole. currently in the copyrast cone of shadow, but one of the very few us items worth reading
asciilifeform: i recall somewhere a discussion of 'voraphiles', where author sorted'em into 2 distinct subspecies, one which wants to be properly eaten & digested, but another, distinct type, which wants to live 'as jonah in whale', as a foetus-like parasite
mp_en_viaje: re the eating, it's prolly more a case of "mom finally came to her senses, took me back in". ever read "confederacy of dunces", 60s boo?
asciilifeform: iirc there exists a 'fetish' set who dream of... being eaten by cannibals. i never grasped exactly how this worx, psychologically, but entirely possib that 'is proof of my deliciousness!'
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, indeed, i suspect we agree. "to have loved and never lost is not so much like having ever loved at all", there's a certain insufficiency of feeling requiring the cripple to die defeated and alone.
mp_en_viaje: in fact -- evaporation ~is fundamental mechanism~. there's a great monologue explaining the problem ; basically : if not lost, not truly felt like had. loss is proof of haveness, much like offspring dependency is proof of potency.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: imho it goes with the 'vhs america'(tm) that these folx moved into, in heads, when moved. and feeding corzine is part and parcel of the 'rent' for living in this fantasy
asciilifeform: and when asciilifeform reminds'em of how they lost most of the pennies they pinched in '90s to jon corzine et al, still dun compute in their crankcases
asciilifeform: reminiscent of tlp's 'the product is the feeling' hypothesis. the orc is not buying 'have money in future', he is buying 'feeling like having money'. so the evaporation turns out is minor detail, he still had 3decade of 'feel'
asciilifeform: i find it interesting, how typical sovok orc is incurable believer in 'skip icecream cone, save the dough', and that it is ~more~ common among the older folx, who in fact watched 1, 2, or even 3 episodes of 100% evaporation of savings during 'currency rebasings' etc
asciilifeform: 'dedicatedly ascetic' is adaptive if there aint much to go around
mp_en_viaje: the one feature of years 400-1400 were precisely great sincerity of religious sentiment, doubled by great purity of practice. eschatological religion, of course, very scientific & all.
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, the problem / curse / salient feature of postmodern man is this peculiar ascetism, of the "future" ilk.
asciilifeform: physical economy hits wall, and yet some folx still want to 'financier', offer 'jam tomorrow' (despite no supply of jam even today, much less any reason to think will arrive tomorrow) , imho it aint happenstance that good % of konsoomer spare change in '90s ru went to 'mmm' & other pyramids, somehow lotsa folx eager to share in the delusion
mp_en_viaje: i see the same thing.

mp_en_viaje: s basically substitute big brother for most residents.
mp_en_viaje: just about yeah. they have a very... well, social view of police. exactly as dorel visan's character says, "suna lumea la politie ca la un prieten". it
diana_coman: more local admin by the sounds of it
mp_en_viaje: evidently enough most of their fare's not actually of a police nature, judging by how i passed two filters in five minutes.

mp_en_viaje: it's a large building, with the jail together and everything. but unlike say chicago or w/e, you go therre you don't see the line of cute girlies sobbing quietly seated by the wall ; nor the buncha doods holding their guts
mp_en_viaje: yeah, very mild. they don't do the whole preceinct system seen in civilised / urban places. instead the thing ("policehouse") covers... the whole of oslo police district
a111: Logged on 2019-06-25 13:08 mp_en_viaje: lol. nah, still oslo airport, getting the fuck iut of this shithole.
mp_en_viaje: (for the modern reader : grosse - twelve dozen items, 144pcs)
mp_en_viaje: nah, it's complicated, has to do with the atmosphere. besides, air transport's ~free, what the fuck do you care, a grosse baguettes weigh twenny lbs, costs a buck
diana_coman: huh, I had no idea ; I assumed you could get the yeast, hm.
mp_en_viaje: this matters, a lot. also can't age cheese there.
mp_en_viaje: nah, they don't klnow how to do it.
diana_coman: I was quite surprised at that thing - wtf fly bread from italy all the way to cr; I mean: why wouldn't they be able to bake it on the spot and even better at that? it must be easier to fly the grains/flour if anything but other than that ffs it's just flour and water; can even fly water if needed
mp_en_viaje: yep, that's exactly how fucktarded romanians survive in communism : since they never saw anything else anyway... bere ciuc.
diana_coman: food is a matter of habit too, though; that story with the burnt-food-best-food, what.
mp_en_viaje: "oh, a good diet's just not that important to us" "o yeah ? then what the fuck is important to you ?" "multiculturalism!"
diana_coman bought precisely italian and/or french bread from the shop in cr so can attest - it was fine.
mp_en_viaje: these cuntheads are supposedly so fucking rich, they're eating worse than half of punjab
mp_en_viaje: there's no fucking rule you can't fly in fresh italian bread ffs. my grocery shop in cr does precisely that.
mp_en_viaje: however, the problem is one of raw materials, i suspect. because even their ethnic places suck balls.
diana_coman: well, for one thing london benefits from having all sorts of non-english food so it's not that hard to eat good food; for the other, up there in the north there seems to be precious little edible
mp_en_viaje: in oslo there is no good stuff to seek. none. whole fucking country lives off moldy biscuits, the 1987 romania comparisons are very well supported when it comes to diet.
mp_en_viaje: in london's just a case of "if you don't specifically seek the good stuff, you'll get crap", like in the us midwest
mp_en_viaje: i dunno there exists a place this bad in the world. previously england was my mark of "worst food in the world" ; but london's nothing like oslo.
mp_en_viaje: incidentally, the food in sweden is TERRIBLE,
diana_coman: ahahaha "sewaie" might be the term, could work
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, incidentally, that was EARLY. it got way the fuck worse later, so much worse in fact the thing kept spinning on itself. this very placid police officer was patrolling the place, discovered he can't pass... just ... no problem, turned back.
mp_en_viaje: all these faggotty fuckfaces in skinny suits, no doubt "software engineers with ai experience" spreading their awareness & concern on subjects and topics on reddit & shithut
mp_en_viaje: http://archive.is/0bdxh#selection-227.514-227.602 << item. and btw, nobody (as in, the various eaterias) in airport has wifi, because "the airport has wifi". which it does -- i think the whole thing runs off a dial-up modem, i'm getting 5kb/s over here. so much for "internet weks".
diana_coman: by contrast, airport-people seem quite happy to be there, no idea how
diana_coman: that's pretty much what it instantly made me think of: those bread-queues running around 3 blocks of flats up and down the whole neighbourhood; except I was miserable then even playing while waiting in the queue and I doubt any of those in there was NOT miserable
diana_coman: that picture of the airport cab-queue is quite something
mp_en_viaje: lol. nah, still oslo airport, getting the fuck iut of this shithole.
mp_en_viaje: anyone remember which trilema i delved into a discussion of the separation of pay / benefit and how it drives up costs ?

ave1: And they look up to software
ave1: I work in an (not software) engineering company, the difference in professionality between software and everything else is large
diana_coman: I must say that I got totally fed up precisely with "software engineering" some 10 years ago and I doubt it got anything other than worse meanwhile so no surprise there
ave1: I have no idea, they seem to not even have read a book
ave1: lol, the course is also from some webshit so not even
diana_coman: and if it's 2 they are senior?
ave1: On most resumes, they write experience with ¨AI¨, which consists of 1 course
ave1: Especially the ¨senior¨
ave1: And developing a hate for people that call themselfs software engineers
ave1: Yes, and gcc has lots of these problems

ave1: Development always seems to go backward while I am doing this, until suddenly I see where the problem is.
ave1: diana_coman, Thanks, I will look for it (I had problems like these before with other steps last year)
diana_coman: ave1: I remember I got something like that, should be in the logs.

mp_en_viaje: maybe just there to make sure & be proactive re any unseemly account updates you might make.
diana_coman: in snake-pit "surprises" since I still have a github account, I just received a notification that a "first-party GitHub" application was recently authorized to access your account; I suppose it's nice of them to notify.
mp_en_viaje: the fact that the monkeys are monkeying about ~~~INTELECTUAL PROPERTY~~~ only adds to the unintentional comedy.
