(trilema) nubbins`: prolly would have bought way more XBOND if i had my time back
(trilema) nubbins`: GREAT when you wanna buy a laptop
(trilema) nubbins`: totally cash-based society
(trilema) nubbins`: largest bill was ~$10
(trilema) nubbins`: KRW was a pain in the ass to deal with when i lived there

(trilema) nubbins`: tom waits
(trilema) nubbins`: reverso-vision
(trilema) nubbins`: retrospect
(trilema) nubbins`: man, i forgot how much i like using a wacom tablet
(trilema) nubbins`: (hours)
(trilema) nubbins`: that's quite the graph
(trilema) nubbins`: like, suspiciously consumer-friendly
(trilema) nubbins`: canadian government is acting really, really strangely lately
(trilema) nubbins`: bed time
(trilema) nubbins`: and only nuts in the culinary sense, so nobody's allergic
(trilema) nubbins`: very delicious
(trilema) nubbins`: cashews are best
(trilema) nubbins`: lotta nuts
(trilema) nubbins`: kinda like gold/silver stackers
(trilema) nubbins`: i suspect a LOT of people into btc are preppers
(trilema) nubbins`: protip: marijuana cures cancer
(trilema) nubbins`: you're gonna want some wants

(trilema) nubbins`: i started learning to grow food this year
(trilema) nubbins`: yep, agreed
(trilema) nubbins`: well, y'know. soft lives
(trilema) nubbins`: storing food is common sense, it's amazing how few people do it
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah, that's not great
(trilema) nubbins`: most common drugs could be stored for a year or two, if done so correctly
(trilema) nubbins`: but that doesn't really matter, depending on how badly you want one
(trilema) nubbins`: cigarettes go stale
(trilema) nubbins`: if the grocery store isn't going to take your gold for payment, you can have as much of it as you want
(trilema) nubbins`: but i hear what you're saying
(trilema) nubbins`: well, "illegal items that people desire" is itself a limited class
(trilema) nubbins`: illegality often drives up the value of items
(trilema) nubbins`: dub: that was more in response to your not legal/no value assertion
(trilema) nubbins`: everyone still alive who gave the USG all their gold back in the 30s is probably pretty pissed off right now
(trilema) nubbins`: tell that to the pill dealers across the street
(trilema) nubbins`: because then they'd have your gold!
(trilema) nubbins`: i wonder does that sort of thing happen often? i'm only aware of when the usa did it back in the 30s or whenever
(trilema) nubbins`: well, i suppose so
(trilema) nubbins`: fell in a blender! who knows!
(trilema) nubbins`: and now i have your gold
(trilema) nubbins`: no, i'm the government
(trilema) nubbins`: right?
(trilema) nubbins`: all that gold you bought, you sold again for cash
(trilema) nubbins`: but i mean
(trilema) nubbins`: lovely, there's a small french colony near here
(trilema) nubbins`: what country
(trilema) nubbins`: you're saying you don't want your possession of gold to be known to the govt in case they demand that you surrender it to them?
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm not sure i follow
(trilema) nubbins`: why don't you want gold buys to show up on your bank records?
(trilema) nubbins`: well, maybe i should back up a step
(trilema) nubbins`: bullion, no
(trilema) nubbins`: pankkake: collectible coins, sure
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm always tempted to buy gold with btc when the price jumps up like this
(trilema) nubbins`: is there any way i can buy shares in this exchange right now?
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm going to open an exchange called matthew n. wright
(trilema) nubbins`: because everything is a scam
(trilema) nubbins`: you got it
(trilema) nubbins`: yep, natural steady growth
(trilema) nubbins`: lel, "We're goin up! Is this due to the increase in volume in China? Natural steady growth?"
(trilema) nubbins`: relax, it's everyone cashing out their AM profits
(trilema) nubbins`: i think the word "dollar" is german in origin
(trilema) nubbins`: i mistrust BTC > 100 USD

(trilema) nubbins`: yah

(trilema) nubbins`: and in canadia
(trilema) nubbins`: or blackberry playbook
(trilema) nubbins`: lel yes
(trilema) nubbins`: the real news story is that the USPS decided to let some asshole design a set of stamps on his ipad
(trilema) nubbins`: and they all have "FOREVER" with a line crossing it out
(trilema) nubbins`: "hike up / climb"… y'know, hike up a fucking rope
(trilema) nubbins`: "turn around / twist"
(trilema) nubbins`: "pump high / swing"
(trilema) nubbins`: what's with the random words
(trilema) nubbins`: those stamps are pieces of shit anyway
(trilema) nubbins`: imagine!
(trilema) nubbins`: a HEADSTAND without a fucking HELMET.
(trilema) nubbins`: "One shows a young swimmer doing a cannonball into water. In another, a child is skateboarding wearing a helmet but no kneepads. In the third, a youngster is doing a headstand without a helmet."
(trilema) nubbins`: http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/active-kid-postage-stamps-yanked-over-safety-concerns-1.2021485
(trilema) nubbins`: but is, in fact, neither
(trilema) nubbins`: specifically in that he fancies himself to be very clever and very wise
(trilema) nubbins`: mental health
(trilema) nubbins`: i think "eskimobob" from btctalk has some major issues
(trilema) nubbins`: there's a strong relationship between how tasty your coffee is, and how many beers you drank last night
(trilema) nubbins`: silk road, still goi… wait
(trilema) nubbins`: labcoin, still going strong
(trilema) nubbins`: heh
(trilema) nubbins`: still a website, at least
(trilema) nubbins`: well
(trilema) nubbins`: glad bash is still going strong
(trilema) nubbins`: i see someone plunked 1 BTC on "no" for havelock's US restrictions
(trilema) nubbins`: so what's the bet?
(trilema) nubbins`: nitey nite
(trilema) nubbins`: amazing
(trilema) nubbins`: amazing&
(trilema) nubbins`: amazing\.

(trilema) nubbins`: ;;seen amazing
(trilema) nubbins`: mazing
(trilema) nubbins`: AMAZING ARTICLE!
(trilema) nubbins`: great airgap
(trilema) nubbins`: "only connect to the internet a little bit, and do all this weird voodoo when you plug foreign usb devices in"
(trilema) nubbins`: this whole article is useless
(trilema) nubbins`: "I downloaded and installed a) OpenOffice, b) a PDF reader, c) a text editor, d) TrueCrypt, and e) BleachBit."
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: i think that's an oxford comma
(trilema) nubbins`: feels bad :(
(trilema) nubbins`: i've stopped using perfectly good pgp keys after absentmindedly connecting the machines holding them to the internet
(trilema) nubbins`: loud, brash, stupid
(trilema) nubbins`: it's the aussies and israelis that are the worst
(trilema) nubbins`: although TBH most of the americans i met while travelling were a-ok
(trilema) nubbins`: that's debasing yourself
(trilema) nubbins`: that's not a risk
(trilema) nubbins`: i'd sooner pretend to have down's
(trilema) nubbins`: nospinzy: why the fuck would i pretend i'm an american?
(trilema) nubbins`: heh
(trilema) nubbins`: nospinzy: no idea, i'm canadian
(trilema) nubbins`: followed by darting eyes and a mumbled "hashish?"
(trilema) nubbins`: there'd always be jokes about calling the cops
(trilema) nubbins`: so when i checked in at EVERY hostel
(trilema) nubbins`: my last name is pronounced the same way as the word for marijuana in morocco
(trilema) nubbins`: heh
(trilema) nubbins`: (which isn't REAL africa, but i digress)
(trilema) nubbins`: saved my ass in morocco
(trilema) nubbins`: french also gives you access to a lot of africa
(trilema) nubbins`: worked more often than not
(trilema) nubbins`: if i didn't know a word, i'd just say the french word with a spanish accent
(trilema) nubbins`: surprising how many similarities
(trilema) nubbins`: (go canada)
(trilema) nubbins`: mostly transferred from 6 years of mandatory french education
(trilema) nubbins`: i've got rudimentary spanish
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: that's actually a really good idea
(trilema) nubbins`: colombia was great for this, nobody speaks a fuckin word of english
(trilema) nubbins`: it ruins it when people speak english
(trilema) nubbins`: and all your possessions in a small backpack
(trilema) nubbins`: with your first night booked at a hostel
(trilema) nubbins`: but there's nothing better than travelling to a country where you don't speak the language
(trilema) nubbins`: but anyway, i guess many people might not share my views
(trilema) nubbins`: kakobrekla: it's a train wreck down there
(trilema) nubbins`: mjr_: get it in your pussy?
(trilema) nubbins`: i wanted to cave my best friend's face in after travelling with him for two weeks
(trilema) nubbins`: traveling with anyone can be annoying
(trilema) nubbins`: boring, that's what
(trilema) nubbins`: and what is life without risk?
(trilema) nubbins`: and so would have missed out on all those brushes with death
(trilema) nubbins`: if i had travelled with a friend, i wouldn't have been nearly so reckless
(trilema) nubbins`: ten times over
(trilema) nubbins`: i'd be dead if it weren't for the kindness of strangers
(trilema) nubbins`: and risks are fun
(trilema) nubbins`: plus, when you travel solo, you take way more risks that you wouldn't necessarily otherwise
(trilema) nubbins`: lel
(trilema) nubbins`: you can do whatever the fuck you want, you meet way more people
(trilema) nubbins`: solo travel, hands down
(trilema) nubbins`: i figure from experience
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: travel with a woman and you preclude yourself from meeting nearly as many other women
(trilema) nubbins`: if you're comfortable being self-reliant, solo travel is 1000x better
(trilema) nubbins`: that was my first vacation with a travel partner
(trilema) nubbins`: i usually travel alone
(trilema) nubbins`: myself and a friend
(trilema) nubbins`: bogota was so-so
(trilema) nubbins`: manizales was great
(trilema) nubbins`: medellin was not nice
(trilema) nubbins`: spent a lotta time in taganga, which was much nicer
(trilema) nubbins`: then moved on
(trilema) nubbins`: i spent 2 days in cartagena
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah
(trilema) nubbins`: very expensive
(trilema) nubbins`: cartagena was nice
(trilema) nubbins`: heh
(trilema) nubbins`: agreed
(trilema) nubbins`: not sure which is worse
(trilema) nubbins`: and petty crime
(trilema) nubbins`: nah, colombia is overrun with aussie tourists
(trilema) nubbins`: closest i came was colombia
(trilema) nubbins`: always wanted to visit
(trilema) nubbins`: lovely
(trilema) nubbins`: agreed
(trilema) nubbins`: killed his buddy over sixty bucks!
(trilema) nubbins`: big thug!
(trilema) nubbins`: apparently this means vengeance was served!
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: notice how his teardrop tattoos are filled in
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: might as well be
(trilema) nubbins`: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/ear-biting-suspect-not-believable-crown-1.961453
(trilema) nubbins`: thats not bad for a city of millions
(trilema) nubbins`: one was bred from the other, i forget which
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu: two breeds of dog were developed on this island, the newfoundland dog and the labrador retriever
(trilema) nubbins`: ^^ newfie coke lords
(trilema) nubbins`: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/murder-trial-dates-set-for-pynn-butler-1.1353717
(trilema) nubbins`: and here it's a bunch of wannabe players acting like they just walked off the set of a 50 cent movie
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway what it boils down to, mjr, is that the coke trade is a mature industry in nyc
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm only laughing because that all sounds so foreign
(trilema) nubbins`: hahahahaha
(trilema) nubbins`: getting your face rearranged, not so much
(trilema) nubbins`: killing is rare
(trilema) nubbins`: if you try that here, he will say "ok, i've been breeding pit bulls for 3 years and i bit a guy's ear off in a bar fight last week, pay up"
