mod6: you are using ssl 1.0.1g with stator right?
gernika: mod6: I am indeed using 1.0.1g

mod6: did you see the same?
gernika: mod6: I'll check and make sure 1.0.1g was actually linked against tomorrow. I can say that it was built and copied to ./ourlibs.
mod6: ok
mod6: oh i just solved my own problem. derp.
mod6: openbsd requires gmake to be in the stator.sh, not make.
gernika: mod6: yeah I ran into that. Put it in my patch to stator.sh. Still need to go through the process of signing everything.
mod6: no prob, thanks!

mod6: mircea_popescu: (this is compiling stator on openbsd)
mod6: gernika: yeah, just did `su`...
mircea_popescu: mod6 i recall you were plagued by this 168k blessing

mod6: mircea_popescu: yeah, we totally were. but it seems this time its a different error and a different txid!
mircea_popescu: the lulz and the win of our times ;/
gernika: mod6: "There is no dynamic segment in this file." when I run the above command
mod6: gernika: it might be helpful to patch in the dump block so we can examine your block(s) 168`000 & 168`001 and see what's going on there.
mod6: gernika: hmm. weird. i might hvae screwed something up in there.
gernika: k. will see if I can dig them up on the mailing list

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: two outcomes from u.s. citizen perspective : a) "all hail the chinese, our lords and saviours" leading into much cock sucking, or b) "git off our turf yellow niggers !" leading into much guerilla warfare a la afghanistan
trinque: gonna be B
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski dude gtfo, there is no b.
mircea_popescu: what b ?
pete_dushenski: kakobrekla: will look into it. thx !
trinque: I can see no way in hell the south would deal with a chinese occupation
mircea_popescu: they're currently welcoming the rights of transsexuals and the obsese. what b?
trinque: big country, still
pete_dushenski: huge country
mircea_popescu: yeah, im sure there's gonna be some guerilla.
mircea_popescu: guess what ? there's some guerilla in the ukraine too.
mircea_popescu: who ever interviews them ?
trinque: oh yeah, not saying it'll *matter*
mircea_popescu: well ok then.
pete_dushenski: even 300 mn fat tards leaves, what, 30 mn fighters ?
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski you're off your rocker
mircea_popescu: there are not 100k people able to fight a war in the us currently.
pete_dushenski: so there's 80k, that's a lotta guerillas
mircea_popescu: war means, i fear i have to remind, spending the next 5 years without a woman eating your belt and shitting in a hole you dug yourself.
ben_vulpes: trinque: ain't gonna be b.
mircea_popescu: 80k is not a lot of mobsters.
mircea_popescu: what lot of guerilla.
trinque: ben_vulpes: you people never leave the cities, do you?
trinque: there are still rednecks with assloads of weaponry
trinque: whether they'll amount to anything, sure
trinque: but people will get shot
pete_dushenski: 80k suicide bombers ?
mircea_popescu: trinque dude, the gritted dissent of the peasantry was never a notable historical fact
mircea_popescu: which is why it was never recorded.
trinque: I just expect shitty times in between now and then, whenever then is
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski right. except atm those people whio would suicide bomb hate obama more than the chinese
mircea_popescu: because inept governance has managed to alienate all the people who matter to cater to the people who vote.
trinque: mircea_popescu: but they hate obama mostly because they're having the reaction to "strange" you've noted
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: anyways, not like i'm defending the toughness of the americans, i'm just saying that b exists, not same as it being probable
trinque: not for any rational reason
trinque: he's just black and smiles too much
mircea_popescu: i very much doubt this.
ben_vulpes: trinque: the rednecks will be the reason china gets involved.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: how so ?
ben_vulpes: texas needs either zetas or chinks to hold its border to the north.
ben_vulpes: and china's the only one of those two groups today with ships and ship-launched rockets with significant distance capabilities.
mircea_popescu: <trinque> I can see no way in hell the south would deal with a chinese occupation << they seem to be dealing with a northern occupation just fine.
BingoBoingo: I could see a mixture of A and B with the Chicoms tolerating B in the areas uneconomical to occupy.
mircea_popescu: quite exactly.
trinque: that's basically what I'm saying.
mircea_popescu: and if you wanna b-talk, go to the b-tard reservation
trinque: chaos everywhere that doesn't matter
mircea_popescu: just like the us works now, so it won't even be strange.
jurov: and i guess chicoms will be happy to leave all the desert to mexico
mircea_popescu: what, you think maryland's not chaos everywhere "that doesn't matter" ?
mircea_popescu: go walk the streets at night.
trinque: I've been, not hungry enough yet though
BingoBoingo: I mostly curious if the Chicoms farm Iowa or mine the uranium under Iowa
trinque: ^ this seems wishful to me
mircea_popescu: that's really the tension here : usians currently use the us like inept argentines: they huddle around the coast and pull their cocks.
trinque: russia is not gone though the soviet union dissolved
mircea_popescu: the chinese would farm the shit out of that thing, to the bare bedrock.

trinque: ben_vulpes: now there's a theory that works a bit better imo
trinque: something like the US is doing now in western ukraine
mircea_popescu: (you may think "oh, wouldn't it be more logical to do africa first ?" and no, it wouldn't. africa's inhabited by monkeys currently, so it doesn't matter. same pattern played out in 1705 - napoleon went after europe not after the us. because in 1705 the us was africa)
ben_vulpes: same thing i said before, really.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> that's really the tension here : usians currently use the us like inept argentines: they huddle around the coast and pull their cocks. << Seriously big chunks or Arable land in Kansas went from farmed to feral in the past two decades.
trinque: ben_vulpes: far more plausible than china's going to land on the coast like normandy
mircea_popescu: fallow not feral. feral's about animls.
ben_vulpes: trinque: ah, i only meant to suggest that they might park an armada offshore to provide fire support.
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: Commercially I think there will be fairly rapidly increasing Chinese investment in parts of Africa. Although that is a different matter.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne sure. and the us was built on european gold, look into the various panics culminating wit van buren
BingoBoingo: Oh, no. Completely feral. No one knows who the last title holder was on chunks of the place. I'm not talking unfarmed because it is out of the rotation. I'm talking retired from the being farmed business.
ben_vulpes: and with the work they're *doubtless* doing on autonomous flugenatoms that's going to be some impressive air support
mircea_popescu: but that's a diff story as you say
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes two things about chinese material research : a) american folk go "chinese have it so much better because their financing is secure" and b) they're spending about 10x more than the us

williamdunne: "The number of Romanians and Bulgarians working in the UK has risen by 15% year-on-year, Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures show. In the last three months of 2014 there were 172,000 people working in the UK who had been born in one of the two eastern European countries"

williamdunne: punkman: A shorter name available?
mircea_popescu: williamdunne do those statistics distinguish romanians and gypsies ?
williamdunne: mircea_popescu: They say born in Romania, so yeah I guess it includes Romani born in RO
decimation: do pikeys count as gypies too?
mircea_popescu: gypsies are a migratory sort, they're not anymore romanian than austrian, french or british
mircea_popescu: decimation i think so.
jurov: they are no longer migratory
mircea_popescu: yeah, so said the sultan, cca 1400
williamdunne: decimation: Generally people don't differentiate between Romani and the Irish traveller sort - all come under the name 'gypsy' in the common tongue

williamdunne: Just throw it into the stew, why not

williamdunne: decimation: I was lead to believe there was a growing "Irish" traveller population in the US

mircea_popescu: stuff like burning man etc stand for the peak of it there, but it's just about life 101 in gypsyland
jurov: l0l
mircea_popescu: anyway. actually genetic gypsy people don't drink well. this, they have in common with the hungarians. hence the entire thing in romania.

mircea_popescu: got practically some indonesians or somesuch. not even counting the significant costs to the helpers - the british empire ended up dismantled as a result, in a manner very much reminiscent of the "fetlife dmca's mp, and as a result some random dc in the us pays for mp's yacht".
mircea_popescu: and b) it has never worked since. never.
mircea_popescu: so to sum up : not usian but jewish ; not effectual generally but once ; not effectual at all but VERY expensive.
mircea_popescu: otherwise, the lefty "tactics" are purely sexual behaviours. if you examine it through the lens of "i am looking at an anal child", it's readily apparent they're seeking parental contact.
