(trilema) nubbins`: while you sit around on IRC mulling it over :)
(trilema) nubbins`: and also consider how many of them have already started working on this
(trilema) nubbins`: with "connections"
(trilema) nubbins`: altho you may wish to consider how many other people have brothers "dealing with" ASICs
(trilema) nubbins`: do > talk
(trilema) nubbins`: nod
(trilema) nubbins`: specifically, are you wondering about making them or buying them?
(trilema) nubbins`: in what sense?
(trilema) nubbins`: todi, i was responding to TaT. i don't run bitbet
(trilema) nubbins`: for what it's worth, hey?
(trilema) nubbins`: tat, guilty like you and i would be guilty... or "guilty"? :D
(trilema) nubbins`: so they can sit on them for 5-10 years
(trilema) nubbins`: right now you see people sorting out their collections
(trilema) nubbins`: bgupta: they will, it's just a question of how long
(trilema) nubbins`: only 45 made!
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm pushing my 0.5 silvers w/ series 2 holo
(trilema) nubbins`: nice
(trilema) nubbins`: i mean, uh, great buy! pm me!
(trilema) nubbins`: most people in here know better
(trilema) nubbins`: Bugpowder: specifically, rich people who want to buy casascius coins
(trilema) nubbins`: any of you guys know rich people who are into coins?
(trilema) nubbins`: wild
(trilema) nubbins`: morning, gents
(trilema) nubbins`: what, are you gonna sell it to a chip manufacturer or something?
(trilema) nubbins`: we were ninja & yo-landi from umshini wam for halloween last year
(trilema) nubbins`: ;;bc,xau
(trilema) nubbins`: silver
(trilema) nubbins`: ;;bc,xag
(trilema) nubbins`: 1oz silver is like 0.045 or so
(trilema) nubbins`: imagine
(trilema) nubbins`: like 2.9 btc each right now
(trilema) nubbins`: krugerrands!
(trilema) nubbins`: they keep going out anyway, i'm inattentive
(trilema) nubbins`: fat enough, know what i mean?
(trilema) nubbins`: everybody's hung up on obama
(trilema) nubbins`: five nines :0
(trilema) nubbins`: so which of you guys forgot to give your model pants to go with the t-shirt?
(trilema) nubbins`: my hope is that the rich guy with cash burning a hole in his pocket can't skip it ;)
(trilema) nubbins`: also, what's a dollar?
(trilema) nubbins`: especially so if you're a coin nut
(trilema) nubbins`: i mean, really, for the prices i'm asking, anyone who got into btc in an even modest way before this past spring can afford one
(trilema) nubbins`: well, with a certain level of disposable income comes the urge to spend it
(trilema) nubbins`: high net worth individuals ;)
(trilema) nubbins`: will be interesting to see how long before HNWIs start coveting them
(trilema) nubbins`: i went full baron on my casascius coins and jacked up the prices
(trilema) nubbins`: nah, from Amagi
(trilema) nubbins`: nod
(trilema) nubbins`: it's genetic
(trilema) nubbins`: i've got a krugerrand on its way and a fat joint in my mouth
(trilema) nubbins`: ooh, nice portmanteau
(trilema) nubbins`: paper didn't dissolve!
(trilema) nubbins`: ink didn't bleed at all!
(trilema) nubbins`: one of the pubs here has padded headrests above the urinals
(trilema) nubbins`: vexual, LEL
(trilema) nubbins`: oh! and we silkscreened some posters onto red kraft paper, it rained a few times, and they're still standing! so, right on
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, btc broke 500 on virtex today, i'm going to celebrate
(trilema) nubbins`: the trick is to start relaxing your piss muscles as you approach the urinal
(trilema) nubbins`: it was eight years ago, i'm sure the university cleans the shitters at least once a day
(trilema) nubbins`: well it's not like the piss is still there
(trilema) nubbins`: she seemed pleased at my accomplishment
(trilema) nubbins`: pankkake: one in a million
(trilema) nubbins`: one of the reasons, yes
(trilema) nubbins`: i just relayed this story to my wife, and she called me her hero and gave me a hug ;(
(trilema) nubbins`: it hurts!
(trilema) nubbins`: so i just pissed while walking sideways
(trilema) nubbins`: after about 5 stops and starts, i decided i couldn't keep going like this
(trilema) nubbins`: decided to piss in each of them
(trilema) nubbins`: i was in a bathroom once that had 15 urinals
(trilema) nubbins`: ...
(trilema) nubbins`: my first PM on the forums was from a guy called JizzBeard
(trilema) nubbins`: hi truffles
(trilema) nubbins`: hi, friends
(trilema) nubbins`: same answer to both questions
(trilema) nubbins`: idiots
(trilema) nubbins`: i am a registred game creator
(trilema) nubbins`: registred
(trilema) nubbins`: heh
(trilema) nubbins`: AMIRITE?
(trilema) nubbins`: you get too romantic, you start to believe it
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: now you're getting to the heart of it ;)
(trilema) nubbins`: "he'll always be an alcoholic, even if he never takes another drink"
(trilema) nubbins`: but i mean, that borders on the esoteric
(trilema) nubbins`: but you ca
(trilema) nubbins`: well, in general, you don't
(trilema) nubbins`: you stop acting like it
(trilema) nubbins`: well, he hasn't stopped being a lawyer
(trilema) nubbins`: his debt certainly isn't
(trilema) nubbins`: doesn't mean she can't pick up golf!
(trilema) nubbins`: wild
(trilema) nubbins`: i mean, a NY lawyer is never gonna be a gymnast
(trilema) nubbins`: well no, past experience shapes everything
(trilema) nubbins`: people will put up with shit they hate for years to avoid it
(trilema) nubbins`: it's scary!
(trilema) nubbins`: nobody wants to change. it's the hardest thing
(trilema) nubbins`: and that's not restricted to the "educated"
(trilema) nubbins`: but it's not law school that's stopping them, it's the fact that they won't open their eyes
(trilema) nubbins`: in practice, nothing
(trilema) nubbins`: people don't lose the ability to change, they just forget they have it
(trilema) nubbins`: so what if it takes him three years to learn to fix cars or 6 years spent working up to a leading role
(trilema) nubbins`: three decades!
(trilema) nubbins`: you start from scratch at age 30, you've got three decades of your new life before you hit 65
(trilema) nubbins`: nothing stopping him but the perception that he doesn't have enough time left
(trilema) nubbins`: they just *stay there*
(trilema) nubbins`: he very well can, the keys are in his pocket
(trilema) nubbins`: right, so it's not CAN'T, it's "CAN'T"
(trilema) nubbins`: and that only brings him to 65!
(trilema) nubbins`: or thinks he can't, more to the point
(trilema) nubbins`: NY lawyer has enough time left for 3 more ten-year careers, he doesn't change because he doesn't want to
(trilema) nubbins`: http://trilema.com/2013/apparently-im-not-the-only-one-pointing-out-the-obvious/#footnote_4_50896
(trilema) nubbins`: i mean, uh, /r/^
(trilema) nubbins`: bigirlsgonebtc
(trilema) nubbins`: it's the only way to squeeze blood out of a turnip
(trilema) nubbins`: garnish wages
(trilema) nubbins`: technically battery
(trilema) nubbins`: convince them to send noodz!
(trilema) nubbins`: chase unhappy bi girls
(trilema) nubbins`: now he's counting
(trilema) nubbins`: benkay: he wonders if photos count?
(trilema) nubbins`: hmm, anatomy fail
(trilema) nubbins`: ;;bc,stats
(trilema) nubbins`: male roommate seems distinctly more impressed by nsa + vag photo than my wife
(trilema) nubbins`: and more flexible!
(trilema) nubbins`: what ya gonna do?
(trilema) nubbins`: shrug, some women don't like their meat flaps
(trilema) nubbins`: more common than you'd think
(trilema) nubbins`: we were discussing labia reduction surgery last night
(trilema) nubbins`: (altho with an extra letter)
(trilema) nubbins`: at which point i learned that there's a "pop punk" band with a member who shares my name
(trilema) nubbins`: this whole "who is this neckbeard" thing led me to google image search myself
(trilema) nubbins`: seems like the kind of guy you'd take advice from
(trilema) nubbins`: his "about" photo is an illustration, i suspect he is a wizard
(trilema) nubbins`: but still up there
(trilema) nubbins`: not as brutal as the fact that this guy obv devotes hours of his life to each titty-flash
(trilema) nubbins`: this whole article is brutal
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm glad you guise aren't like that
(trilema) nubbins`: this is bananas
(trilema) nubbins`: damn, so many dudes sending me btc and asking if they can suck my dick
(trilema) nubbins`: leel
(trilema) nubbins`: "“Damn, Ella just sent me a pic of her boobs. So many girls doing this now. It’s crazy.”"
(trilema) nubbins`: 270143 is prime
(trilema) nubbins`: maybe all the usb block erupters went on strike ;)
(trilema) nubbins`: well, there's 500
(trilema) nubbins`: ;;ticker
(trilema) nubbins`: guess they're "unisex" in practice, if not in fit
(trilema) nubbins`: all i see are nsa shirts
(trilema) nubbins`: combo breaker block
(trilema) nubbins`: you know not all those who speak spanish are spaniards ;)
(trilema) nubbins`: maybe you shouldn't see the insides, then
(trilema) nubbins`: you should see the insides
(trilema) nubbins`: nod
(trilema) nubbins`: or so i'm told
(trilema) nubbins`: spanish for "ghost"
(trilema) nubbins`: you buy two, you get an original drawing
(trilema) nubbins`: we printed some sweet zines today, check it out
(trilema) nubbins`: you'd have to ask mp
(trilema) nubbins`: good to see those nsa shirts getting some use
(trilema) nubbins`: it must be spreading
(trilema) nubbins`: :0 nope
(trilema) nubbins`: poke random integers into the game code in the hopes that you'd endow yourself with unlimited lives or super-jumps
(trilema) nubbins`: game genie was pretty rad
(trilema) nubbins`: and letting you play the older games with a new character, unlocking all these previously off-limits areas
(trilema) nubbins`: creating this massive cartridge
(trilema) nubbins`: and then released a "sonic & knuckles" cartridge that you could insert sonic 2/3 into
(trilema) nubbins`: they built all of these secret areas into sonic 2 and 3
(trilema) nubbins`: y'know, sega really pulled a nice one with the sonic the hedgehog series
(trilema) nubbins`: i think i was in grade 7 before the idea of mod chips became known
(trilema) nubbins`: imagine
(trilema) nubbins`: it was what, $700 in 1995?
(trilema) nubbins`: well, again, you could never pull off the incredible machine on a console
(trilema) nubbins`: inorite?
(trilema) nubbins`: the fuck you gonna do with a joystick
(trilema) nubbins`: nod
(trilema) nubbins`: lemmings, even
(trilema) nubbins`: consoles could never pull off the greats, like the incredible machine
(trilema) nubbins`: heh
(trilema) nubbins`: asciilifeform: you're in the rare position of being allowed to complain about walled gardens
(trilema) nubbins`: people acting like they never bought a video game console
(trilema) nubbins`: this "walled garden" thing is a real yawn, too
(trilema) nubbins`: y'know, we all have 5 laptops
(trilema) nubbins`: anyone who doesn't use a macbook as their primary laptop is a fucking idiot
(trilema) nubbins`: asciilifeform: people underestimate the OS maker having 100% control over the hardware
(trilema) nubbins`: you guys aren't even trying ;(
(trilema) nubbins`: best i've got so far is "macs r 4 fags"
(trilema) nubbins`: if some christian guy said "seriously guys, it's really wine now, try it, it's really good", and it turns out he's right, actual holy wars would be pretty impotent affairs as well
(trilema) nubbins`: show me one that hasn't!
(trilema) nubbins`: objective-c is a piece of shit language, mind you
(trilema) nubbins`: furthermore, Xcode has top-tier debugging tools
(trilema) nubbins`: but i can code ;(
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm at least one of those things
(trilema) nubbins`: bash shell at my disposal
(trilema) nubbins`: runs pretty much any *NIX program without a hiccup
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway, people lel at os x because it's shiny, but it's a great os
(trilema) nubbins`: not bad
(trilema) nubbins`: probably a bunch of shiny plastic, huh :(
(trilema) nubbins`: my laptop is machined from a solid block of aluminum, what's yours?
(trilema) nubbins`: ah, no, i pay a premium for superb build quality and a rock solid hybrid BSD/Mach kernel
(trilema) nubbins`: i run os x
(trilema) nubbins`: ios is for phones
(trilema) nubbins`: on which he is undoubtedly doing adult things
(trilema) nubbins`: you can tell because he is putty'd into a few linux boxes
(trilema) nubbins`: totallay
(trilema) nubbins`: (are you sure it's not from running kazaa?)
(trilema) nubbins`: now you're just hamming it up :(
(trilema) nubbins`: now there's an idea
(trilema) nubbins`: mark all coins that touch a windows client
(trilema) nubbins`: o, right, tainted coins
(trilema) nubbins`: forfeit all btc
(trilema) nubbins`: nod
(trilema) nubbins`: ya see? you still haven't learned
(trilema) nubbins`: mike_c: what os are you using right now?
(trilema) nubbins`: mike_c: what, do you work for ms or something?
(trilema) nubbins`: it's a 22 year old's own fault if they don't know the score
(trilema) nubbins`: despite the fact that he behaves like -- and has the thought patterns of -- an adult baby, you can't call him an underage kid
(trilema) nubbins`: a new graduate is what, 22 years old minimum
(trilema) nubbins`: what the fuck
(trilema) nubbins`: underage kids don't graduate university!!!!!!!
(trilema) nubbins`: that just creates an excuse for all the other new graduates
(trilema) nubbins`: right on!
(trilema) nubbins`: no big shakes compared to cost of device
(trilema) nubbins`: it's just patent "insurance"
(trilema) nubbins`: latter is probably close to accurate
(trilema) nubbins`: and people just don't care
(trilema) nubbins`: purely extortionate
(trilema) nubbins`: isn't it something like $3.4b that microsoft is going to be collecting from android users this year?
(trilema) nubbins`: heh!
(trilema) nubbins`: windows users just accept viruses as a fact of life now, like the occasional cold or stomach bug
(trilema) nubbins`: nobody gives them shit for it either
(trilema) nubbins`: more to the point, AV industry is supported by viruses
(trilema) nubbins`: groogle
(trilema) nubbins`: ooo they just said fuck on the radio!
(trilema) nubbins`: ^ lel @ nick
(trilema) nubbins`: story in a headline, really
(trilema) nubbins`: dickens-style
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah
