(trilema) nubbins`: i rarely win
(trilema) nubbins`: just popped in with a coffee
(trilema) nubbins`: i kid! but i actually to have to pick up rent
(trilema) nubbins`: heh
(trilema) nubbins`: depends on if you want to play chess
(trilema) nubbins`: but then i realized that's probably not hard to find
(trilema) nubbins`: i was about to ask Jere_Jones if he had a seller of goxbtc lined up
(trilema) nubbins`: nasty mining is, i believe, still a thing
(trilema) nubbins`: forgot i signed up
(trilema) nubbins`: oh yeah, kraken still hasn't verified my false info
(trilema) nubbins`: i mean, fucking eskimo bob was telling people not to buy them
(trilema) nubbins`: oh yeah, people lapped 'em up despite people SCREAMING that they were bad ideas
(trilema) nubbins`: srsly struggling to understand here
(trilema) nubbins`: so... you offered a cheaper turd to undercut the turd salesmen?
(trilema) nubbins`: sure
(trilema) nubbins`: were PMBs not generally recognized to be dog turds back then?
(trilema) nubbins`: interesting
(trilema) nubbins`: a-ha.
(trilema) nubbins`: to what end?
(trilema) nubbins`: benkay: pmb, yep, i've got that much
(trilema) nubbins`: indulge me with the elevator pitch?
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm still confused about f.pure.synth
(trilema) nubbins`: daww
(trilema) nubbins`: nevermind that, what's a "synthetic copy" of an asset?
(trilema) nubbins`: the btctalk thread is a bit light on detail
(trilema) nubbins`: how's it related? beats me
(trilema) nubbins`: F.PURE.SYNTH
(trilema) nubbins`: i was talking with someone about this the other day
(trilema) nubbins`: ah, hey, there's an MPEx asset in this list
(trilema) nubbins`: evidently, yes
(trilema) nubbins`: B007, don't be vulgar
(trilema) nubbins`: send him a bill
(trilema) nubbins`: ^ heh
(trilema) nubbins`: i had TWO pens hemorrhage on me this week
(trilema) nubbins`: humidity as well
(trilema) nubbins`: cold is a problem too
(trilema) nubbins`: you should see the last thing i drew
(trilema) nubbins`: B007, the ink does occasionally have seizures
(trilema) nubbins`: nod
(trilema) nubbins`: "werewoman"
(trilema) nubbins`: this is for a band t-shirt, in the meantime
(trilema) nubbins`: bubbles will either go completely or take over the rest of the page
(trilema) nubbins`: consider my comment revoked
(trilema) nubbins`: ah. aha.
(trilema) nubbins`: benkay, anything can get published, trust me
(trilema) nubbins`: thoughts, comments, criticisms?
(trilema) nubbins`: B007, what do you want to buy with btc that you can't?
(trilema) nubbins`: mildly confused every time it doesn't happen
(trilema) nubbins`: honestly, i'm waiting for the day when i show someone a concept and they just ask me what my fucking problem is before walking away
(trilema) nubbins`: B007, it's irc, everyone is ugly
(trilema) nubbins`: you know, i honestly wonder sometimes when people give me carte blanche for designing shirts for their band
(trilema) nubbins`: lewicki, try yoga
(trilema) nubbins`: all things are cyclical, some cycles take longer than others
(trilema) nubbins`: he asked just in case you wondered whether he held his cock in btc or fiat
(trilema) nubbins`: HEH
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm picturing the canadian team showing up in snowsuits for the next summer olympics
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm sure they thought so too when planning it
(trilema) nubbins`: there were no smiles
(trilema) nubbins`: team from bermuda (1 athlete, good for him!) wore red shorts for their uniform. outdoor stadium in russia in february.
(trilema) nubbins`: it was easier when it was just the onion
(trilema) nubbins`: currant vs current
(trilema) nubbins`: parody news
(trilema) nubbins`: no, srs?
(trilema) nubbins`: "the olympic rings"
(trilema) nubbins`: we drank and counted the number of families that were condemned to death by their relatives fucking up their parts in the ceremony
(trilema) nubbins`: olympics
(trilema) nubbins`: pretty heavy on the russian beat-off tho
(trilema) nubbins`: so the opening ceremonies were quite the spectacle
(trilema) nubbins`: always looking happy can be a curse tho, look at dolphins
(trilema) nubbins`: i saw those guys in an attenborough-narrated doc once
(trilema) nubbins`: haha yeah!
(trilema) nubbins`: sorry state of affairs, those pips
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm a product of my upbringing
(trilema) nubbins`: not as fun as mixing metric and imperial units, but hey
(trilema) nubbins`: brutal on your abs, fun tho
(trilema) nubbins`: made out of curved 3" pvc pipe
(trilema) nubbins`: once in korea when hiking in the mountains i stumbled across a small park with 2.5m diameter hula hoops
(trilema) nubbins`: this bears further consideration
(trilema) nubbins`: ooh
(trilema) nubbins`: you know, vexual would make a pretty good meat-based rng
(trilema) nubbins`: rng based on davout's joins/parts
(trilema) nubbins`: yes, sure
(trilema) nubbins`: a-ha.
(trilema) nubbins`: which of those two cares about the price?
(trilema) nubbins`: actually
(trilema) nubbins`: benkay, nod
(trilema) nubbins`: there comes a point where it doesn't really matter what the price is
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah, same here, if that
(trilema) nubbins`: bitcoinity bottoms out around 660
(trilema) nubbins`: ;;bc,xau
(trilema) nubbins`: ;;bc,xag
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu, probably the only truth on the website
(trilema) nubbins`: heh
(trilema) nubbins`: "This week Russia praised the United States for its rich history of making gay athletes feel unsafe and unwelcome"
(trilema) nubbins`: hm, you win this round
(trilema) nubbins`: to protect and serve ...yourself at mcd's as fast as possible
(trilema) nubbins`: i mailed a package mid-january and it took 19 days to get to the other side of canada
(trilema) nubbins`: cover airways with SALE stickers
(trilema) nubbins`: heh.
(trilema) nubbins`: less chance of becoming cabbage
(trilema) nubbins`: if he was a pro, he would have used two nailguns, one on each temple
(trilema) nubbins`: hah
(trilema) nubbins`: yes, you were
(trilema) nubbins`: cant stop staring at face
(trilema) nubbins`: she looks so high
(trilema) nubbins`: I NO RITE?!?!
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: twist: that alt-babe is actually pankkake
(trilema) nubbins`: OK LUNCH
(trilema) nubbins`: heh
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm wondering if the r goes in electified or stings
(trilema) nubbins`: rubber mats!
(trilema) nubbins`: heh, yipes
(trilema) nubbins`: not sure of the current, there were some components between the mains and my hand
(trilema) nubbins`: 120V, 240 may be a different color
(trilema) nubbins`: in my experience
(trilema) nubbins`: kakobrekla, electricity is grey
(trilema) nubbins`: i need to plug this computer in and eat lunch
(trilema) nubbins`: ooh, a second twist
(trilema) nubbins`: are you SURE you've never done lsd?
(trilema) nubbins`: you're talking about identifying colors by taste
(trilema) nubbins`: "Regular is kind of tangy, supreme is kind of sour, and diesel actually tastes pretty good"
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: there was an episode of trailer park boys where they discussed identifying fuel by flavor
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm going to embed them in the blockchain
(trilema) nubbins`: he gave me a trove of secret docs
(trilema) nubbins`: me too
(trilema) nubbins`: snowden
(trilema) nubbins`: kakobrekla: just don't send me all your btc, then
(trilema) nubbins`: i don't want that D:
(trilema) nubbins`: will my penis come back with increased self-awareness?
(trilema) nubbins`: and i think i'm done
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, ego death, interesting experience
(trilema) nubbins`: twist: we ARE talking code
(trilema) nubbins`: shouting at each other through the windows over the screeching and smoke
(trilema) nubbins`: brake? we're both doing donuts in a parking lot
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm driving the conversation here!
(trilema) nubbins`: i can take some lsd right now if i like
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, who says shit isn't reproducible?
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: so the twin towers falling wasn't an experience?
(trilema) nubbins`: i can only speak from personal experience
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, i got off track
(trilema) nubbins`: enjoy your flick
(trilema) nubbins`: hah
(trilema) nubbins`: heh ^
(trilema) nubbins`: i know plenty of strung-out druggies who float through life with sullen looks and dull eyes
(trilema) nubbins`: i can only speak from personal experience
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: well sure, lots of diversions aren't particularly fun :D
(trilema) nubbins`: but, y'know, some kids actually do the math, and are sort of confused when someone tells them "school is just for horsing around anyway"
(trilema) nubbins`: just because you can no longer distinguish the border between your mind and the outside world doesn't mean you're having an epiphany
(trilema) nubbins`: just because you're in your desk, in school, doesn't mean you're doing math problems instead of doodling monsters
(trilema) nubbins`: herbijudlestoids: well, it's just as easy to have a bunch of fun than to learn something
(trilema) nubbins`: on that we can agree
(trilema) nubbins`: ^ that's the lesson
(trilema) nubbins`: thanks dad, but can you sign the permission slip? teacher says
(trilema) nubbins`: so i really thought i didn't like gravy. sue me!
(trilema) nubbins`: "if i want gravy i'll eat some tomato soup"
(trilema) nubbins`: "i know i won't like it"
(trilema) nubbins`: this could just as well be a conversation with a mother saying "but gravy is really good, you should try it" and the kid saying "but i don't like it"
(trilema) nubbins`: you're saying that because you haven't seen it
(trilema) nubbins`: but wasn't it eye-opening to see that 3rd dimension?
(trilema) nubbins`: sure, you end up flat again
(trilema) nubbins`: find third dimension, briefly escape Flatland.
(trilema) nubbins`: no fucking shit.
(trilema) nubbins`: the point you're making is that the lost kids do drugs to try to find meaning
(trilema) nubbins`: i uh
(trilema) nubbins`: how's that different from any other day here :D
(trilema) nubbins`: well no shit people talking about shit that happened inside their heads is banal to everyone else
(trilema) nubbins`: or, really, the difference between the people who did shit and the people who want to
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: well, you're describing the difference between burroughs and the wannabe burroughs
(trilema) nubbins`: ineffable is the word, herb
(trilema) nubbins`: if you ask me, he wrote to stay sane
(trilema) nubbins`: i don't even think burroughs aspired that much, guy was a miserable sack of shit
(trilema) nubbins`: nah
(trilema) nubbins`: occasionally lucid
(trilema) nubbins`: creepy man
(trilema) nubbins`: oh, him
(trilema) nubbins`: mckenna?
(trilema) nubbins`: THERE ARE SO MANY
(trilema) nubbins`: huxley? hoffman?
(trilema) nubbins`: not leary
(trilema) nubbins`: ken kesey?
(trilema) nubbins`: KRS-One, careful, he tells lies
(trilema) nubbins`: staring literal death in the face is different altogether
(trilema) nubbins`: herbijudlestoids: that's how it goes
(trilema) nubbins`: but hey, what makes me an expert
(trilema) nubbins`: if you ask me, a man isn't a man until he's experienced complete ego death
(trilema) nubbins`: how you gonna reflect with truth if you've got all the layers in the way?
(trilema) nubbins`: also, what herb said
(trilema) nubbins`: better hide that plant from the cops
(trilema) nubbins`: http://lege5.ro/Gratuit/geztembyge/ordonanta-de-urgenta-nr-6-2010-pentru-modificarea-si-completarea-legii-nr-143-2000-privind-prevenirea-si-combaterea-traficului-si-consumului-ilicit-de-droguri-si-pentru-completarea-legii-nr-339-2005-p
(trilema) nubbins`: the doors of perception, &c!
(trilema) nubbins`: heh
(trilema) nubbins`: "Salvia is an unapproved herbal supplement that is prohibited by law for sale in Canada."
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: this is maybe the fundamental difference between us :D
(trilema) nubbins`: curiosity, yo
(trilema) nubbins`: it's like being shown a new color
(trilema) nubbins`: you get to have an experience that your brain would never produce on its own
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, what's not to get?
(trilema) nubbins`: the picture on the tv stopped moving and the room filled up diagonally with buzzing ;(
(trilema) nubbins`: nope, licked a 9V tho
(trilema) nubbins`: and i think 26 the last time
(trilema) nubbins`: i was 20 the first time i tried salvia
(trilema) nubbins`: heh
(trilema) nubbins`: herbijudlestoids: it works on opioid receptors, but isn't an opiate. odd plant.
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm just trying to reconcile "i wish to be a financial professional" with "i ran a PMB" / "i created a lelcoin"
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, regarding this: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-02-2014#486945
(trilema) nubbins`: who's taking it to that degree?
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: anyway, the thing that salvia has going for it is that it doesn't lend itself to abuse
(trilema) nubbins`: fun fact, i dosed myself on martha steward-branded morning glory once
(trilema) nubbins`: chetty: also, leg cramps :(
(trilema) nubbins`: chetty: +1, although very soapy
(trilema) nubbins`: TBH i haven't kept up on it in recent years, but i was under the impression that many individual states had prohibited it
(trilema) nubbins`: ah, wikipedia ;p
(trilema) nubbins`: i think the concept of an illegal plant is as foolish as anyone
(trilema) nubbins`: i don't make the laws
(trilema) nubbins`: mike_c: the bleeding hearts would care, sure. that's a given tho
(trilema) nubbins`: ...you have salvia divinorum in your garden.
(trilema) nubbins`: smoke that, you'll get a headache
(trilema) nubbins`: cooking sage
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: that's a different salvia
(trilema) nubbins`: because people weren't robbing convenience stores for salvia money
(trilema) nubbins`: consider the case of salvia divinorum. powerful drug, blast you to hyperspace. was legal in most places until a handful of years ago
(trilema) nubbins`: if everyone who dug a vein died, nobody'd care
(trilema) nubbins`: THIS is why people want dealers locked up
(trilema) nubbins`: you do the dope, you spend your days breaking into houses and businesses to steal shit to buy dope
(trilema) nubbins`: doesn't mean you shouldn't try to convince dealers to stop dealing
(trilema) nubbins`: it doesn't work because more people will sell dope
(trilema) nubbins`: or you don't arrest them because there aren't enough dope fiends to give a fuck
(trilema) nubbins`: no, you arrest random dope dealers because x number of people are dope fiends and it has a net negative effect on the society in which the dope dealing takes place
(trilema) nubbins`: wait, you can't arrest random dope dealers?
(trilema) nubbins`: and that leads us to yesterday's convo
(trilema) nubbins`: what one is to do is to suggest that the head gets cut off it before it gets out of hand
(trilema) nubbins`: sure
(trilema) nubbins`: and then pretending -- tongue in cheek or not -- that they're serious
(trilema) nubbins`: my issue is with pumping out alts of no value whatsoever beyond providing a venue for cons to fleece rubes
(trilema) nubbins`: being "against alts" in general is silly, because how could you be against people experimenting with new ideas?
(trilema) nubbins`: rubecoin-in-a-box, on the other hand...
(trilema) nubbins`: i don't have a beef with alts at all!
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: read the logs, jeez ;p
