mircea_popescu holy shit, there's three different bars within ten blocks of where you live, you can just go there and LOOK at a girl. [03:48]
mircea_popescu she'll come right over, and if you speak spanish it's somethinjg like 500 pesos [03:48]
mircea_popescu about 30 bux. [03:48]
mircea_popescu otherwise whatever, pay her a hundred. [03:49]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: this is not the objective for the 'pickup' folks [03:49]
mircea_popescu s/ten blocks of where you live/ten blocks of where I live/ [03:49]
mircea_popescu but anyway [03:49]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform but the book costs as much ? [03:49]

mircea_popescu "Tucker Max was a hero of mine. I discovered his writing at the age of eighteen, and idolized his literary persona for the next five years. His descent into mediocrity has been painful for me to watch. [03:51]
mircea_popescu Most would say that Tucker Max was nothing more than a brief flash-in-the-pan, a pony whose only trick was vulgar frat boy humour. But the reality is that Tucker Max’s stories were more than just entertainment: They articulated a new male identity that was unapologetically masculine and intellectual." [03:51]
mircea_popescu this is what you get from "no child left behind" [03:52]
mircea_popescu fucking bush. [03:52]
asciilifeform in the philosophy of the 'pickup' folks, you don't grade as 'l33t' if you pay the whore [03:53]
asciilifeform have to score 'on your merits' [03:53]
mircea_popescu so what, if you have money it's not your money ? [03:54]

mircea_popescu why the fuck WOULDNT you pay the woman. this is beyond me. i am not discussing a whore here. forget that part. i go out, and notice a girl sitting down. i chat her up, she comes with me and i fuck her. turns out she's 17, she's a virgin, and she's never even THOUGHT of doing anything like this, in her life. [03:55]
asciilifeform afaik they don't have a position on money per se, except that it can be used to travel to faraway lands where the great satan has not perverted womankind [03:55]
mircea_popescu but kids experiment and she's a kid and she's experimented. [03:55]
mircea_popescu and now the idea is, i can't buy her a car. [03:55]
mircea_popescu why the fuck not ? [03:55]
mircea_popescu has she not earned it ? [03:55]
asciilifeform why not [03:55]
mircea_popescu brave kid, why shoudn't she have good stuff ? [03:55]
asciilifeform afaik the pickup folks have no position on which, if any, car, boeing, planet, one should buy -after- [03:56]
mircea_popescu if i don't buy her a car and some fat and bald goofball buys his "daughter" whom his wife had with the plumber the car [03:56]
mircea_popescu and he's not even fucking her! [03:56]
mircea_popescu what sort of society are we building here! [03:56]
asciilifeform the car, as i understand, has to come -after-, or you fished with dynamite - and any idiot with a stick of dynamite can then be a 'great fisherman' [03:56]
asciilifeform and such feats of fish-catching are not of interest to the serious scholars. [03:56]
asciilifeform sumthinglikethat [03:56]
mircea_popescu so working out is okay ? [03:57]
mircea_popescu can you wash ? [03:57]
mircea_popescu anyone aged 20 and clean can get laid, is that fair ? [03:57]
asciilifeform aha. the books actually take the trouble to mention both [03:57]
mircea_popescu why those and not this ? [03:57]
mircea_popescu is being tall accepted ? or also fishing with dynamite ? [03:57]
asciilifeform except for the obvious implication that - why is the reader reading? [03:57]
asciilifeform in the words of tlp, 'if you're reading it, it's for you' [03:57]
mircea_popescu very feminist/socialist this you know ? "more brownie points for being a tranny than for bein a white male". "why ?" "uhmmm... because we're stupid" "ah ok" [03:58]
* asciilifeform did not invent this particular flavour of crackpottery, but has seen a good sampling thereof [03:58]
mircea_popescu so money, which someone CAN get , is right off. but being tall, which someone CAN NOT get, and is certainly more on the button than money when hitting on a woman, is ok. [03:58]
* asciilifeform regards 'pickup' literature as a very low kind of sc4mz0ry, like shady cancer cures pitched to the desperately ill [03:58]
mircea_popescu plenty of stuff is quite reasonable - wash, stay in shape etc. [03:59]
asciilifeform don't need book, for this [03:59]
mircea_popescu but it's quite clearly something done by the poor for the poor, this. [03:59]
mircea_popescu and im not altogether convinced the poor should get laid all that much. [03:59]
asciilifeform book is supposed to help you 'cheat' by summoning devils ^H^H^H^H^H^H psy-programming [03:59]

asciilifeform a sort of rebranded hypnosis/mesmerism [04:00]
mircea_popescu exact fucking equivalent of the "expert systems" failed msword&excel-based approach to hard ai [04:00]
asciilifeform one of the facts known to all dedicated students of 'psychoceramics' (study of crackpots! what else, lol) is that genuinely new idiocies are invented quite infrequently [04:01]
mircea_popescu hm, i guess the actual practice evolved under selective pressure more towards the cold calling / stage magician thing [04:01]
asciilifeform most are rebrandings of something earlier. [04:01]
mircea_popescu but i mean intelelctualy, the theory behind it [04:01]
asciilifeform but being tall, which someone CAN NOT get, <<<< ahahha. soviet science winz again. had a process for -actually- growing taller. [04:02]

mircea_popescu "The third point is that the theory by which loving two girls is difficult for cause of limited physical endurance, which is to say you can barely satisfy one, what the fuck to do with two is entirely false. [04:20]
mircea_popescu I know not of others, but of myself I can testify of how testy things go. In any sexual act by which I mean copulation, there's present two segments. The first, from onset until I feel I can ejaculate if I wish to, an the second from there on, which is to say until whether I wish to or not, it's coming out. Depending on various factors, such as if I'm tired, or not well acquainted with the miss and I'm shocked by how g [04:20]
mircea_popescu ood she looks etc, the second segment may compress even to a quarter inute and such, but otherwise it's generally equal to the first, half hour, an hour, whatever. [04:20]

mircea_popescu " A veteran Assistant Public Defender in San Francisco, Jami Tillotson, was in a courtroom when she learned that another of her clients was being questioned in the hallway by a platoon of officers led by a plainclothes officer, Sergeant Inspector Brian Stansbury. When Tillotson intervened to point out that the police can’t go around questioning a guy that they know to be represented outside the presence of his lawyer [06:04]
mircea_popescu , she was arrested. [06:04]

thestringpuller it's not a true reputation system just and aggregator [13:00]
thestringpuller an* [13:00]
PeterL right [13:01]
thestringpuller and as you said how can you trust the information aggregated unless you vet it yourself [13:01]
thestringpuller so it kinda defeats the purpose? [13:01]
PeterL gives you a place to start though [13:01]
PeterL and I also don't see why they need 850k to make said system? [13:02]
thestringpuller ^-that too [13:02]
PeterL somebody wants to "invest in bitcoin companies", but has more money than sense? [13:03]
thestringpuller its a trend that's gone the way of the sitcom by now it seems [13:03]
PeterL they probably won't even think to include GribbleWot and AssWoT in their agregator [13:03]

PeterL although, I don't see how it could make any money? [13:10]
mircea_popescu PeterL but it making money is not the point. the idea isn't for -god forbid- some inept cocklets ending up with control of the means of production./ [13:11]
mircea_popescu the idea is to keep the battery chickens distracted, and their attention firmly focused on the state. [13:11]

mircea_popescu control of capital and control of relationships. that's exactly why we're about bitcoin and about the wot. [13:11]
thestringpuller so given SF's economy is pretty much ponzi (floating on start up money) does the entire place become oakland 2.0 when it all falls apart? [13:12]
mircea_popescu PeterL you have to understand, 99% of the circulating material is just that. they get fed hay, they shit it out, it goes on the pasture, which makes more hay. the people live off the wool produced, which is a side effect. [13:12]
PeterL thestringpuller: maybe it would be worse? [13:13]
mircea_popescu the homeostasis is otherwise build out of circulating materials that get endlessly recyucled. [13:13]
mircea_popescu thestringpuller it can't become oakland, because these are whiny white nerds. [13:13]
mircea_popescu they have no fundamental culture, like black dudes do have. they don't even know how to like without facebook. [13:13]
PeterL maybe Oakland takes over SF and kicks out (or enslaves) the whiney white guys? [13:14]
mircea_popescu no, it will become manchester in 1990. [13:14]

mircea_popescu "I'd suggest you go research existing high-value-payment networks and see what typical fees are for multi-million dollar transactions. FEDWIRE is running at 6 transactions per second, average transaction value over $6million, with fees per transaction UNDER ONE DOLLAR. [18:07]
mircea_popescu Why? Because if you are giving somebody one million dollars for something, you almost certainly have built up real-world trust, and probably have a longstanding relationship, signed contracts, etc etc." [18:07]
mircea_popescu basically, one less explored point of usgavin's interest with the fork is to cripple the politically revolutionary side of bitcoin. obviously if bitcoin can't be bitcoin then the replacement of plain contracts with gpg-contracts will at least be hindered. [18:08]

mircea_popescu on a principal consideration ? [19:43]
PeterL we plan to rip out irc? [19:43]
mircea_popescu irc should probably stay because a) it doesn't actualy do anything atm and b) it will be an easy upgrade to gossipd [19:44]
asciilifeform the irc thing is a chokepoint. in my head it counts as 1 hardcoded node, really [19:44]
mircea_popescu which will make bitcoin full nodes a much saner thing altogether. [19:44]
asciilifeform think about it. isomorphic. [19:44]
mircea_popescu and remove a lot of dumbass pressure off the blockchain. ("want to talk to people ? talk through the node process not through the tx process) [19:44]
asciilifeform actually, given that most of the hard seeds are dead, the irc mechanism is the primary bootstrap. [19:45]

mircea_popescu and speaking of how's it going yo trinque ! what happened there ? [19:45]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform i thought the node's own memory was the primary bootstrap ? [19:45]

mike_c hopefully addnode didn't get nixed [19:48]

mod6 in a wide variety of ways, and it's not consistant, we've been having issues getting past the last checkpoint block (more often than not): 168,000 [22:13]

asciilifeform mircea_popescu: it is (i thought this was very obvious) a spoof on subject [22:21]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform no but looky : "Perhaps this piece shocks you. It is meant to. The entire point of it is to use something that we find shocking as leverage to illustrate the fact that something that we usually close our eyes to is also very shocking. The most effective way I know to do so is to develop an extended analogy with something known as shocking and reprehensible. Racism is that thing, in this case. I am happy w [22:21]
mircea_popescu ith this piece, despite-but also because of-its shock value. I think it makes its point better than any factual article could. As a friend of mine said, "It makes you so uncomfortable that you can't ignore it." I admit that rereading it makes even me, the author, uncomfortable! Numerous friends have warned me that in publishing this piece I am taking a serious risk of earning myself a reputation as a terrible racist. I [22:21]
mircea_popescu guess I cannot truly believe that anyone would see this piece that way. To misperceive it this way would be like calling someone a vicious racist for telling other people "The word 'nigger' is extremely offensive." If allusions to racism, especially for the purpose of satirizing racism and its cousins, are confused with racism itself, then I think it is time to stop writing." [22:21]
mircea_popescu a) it does not shock me. [22:21]
mircea_popescu b) it is simply very bad writing. [22:21]
mircea_popescu there's nothing of depth in there, it;s just the usual libertard tedium. [22:21]
* PeterL has quit (Quit: PeterL) [22:21]

mircea_popescu not in the way white men and black men are superficially different [22:22]
mircea_popescu but quite in the way your pony is not your dog. [22:22]

mircea_popescu he seems to be proposing the notion that saying she when i mean a cuntbearer is about as bad as inventing a special ble pronoun to denote a guy's color [22:23]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: and it reads as the usual tedium because it -was- same, with words swapped [22:23]
mircea_popescu well here's the thing : i don't happen to give a shit about the guy's color [22:23]
mircea_popescu but i'm not particularly interested to discuss anyone outside of their gender. [22:23]
asciilifeform at any rate it was a mega-troll in gringolandia [22:23]
mircea_popescu which is why english, latin and every other language has a gender pronoun and declension. [22:23]
asciilifeform if does not work outside - unsurprising [22:24]

mod6 one time i got wedged at like 27,5XX !? [22:36]
mod6 this was on Saturday night. [22:36]
mod6 but then i applied the rm_checkpoints patch and then it continued on np. [22:37]
asciilifeform mod6: make a copy of .bitcoin shortly prior to wedge [22:37]
mod6 ok will do. [22:37]
mod6 We wanted to collect as much data as possible before we let other know in #b-a. Hence the delay until now. [22:39]
mod6 I wasn't fully sure that it wasn't our build script or something wonky screwing it up... but a hand-build showed the same result. [22:40]
asciilifeform not proclaiming a molested britneychain as proven fact yet, but if it had been, it would look rather much like this. [22:40]
mod6 i've got mutiple good v0.5.3 chains saved, but ... just was regression testing to ensure full sync with the v0.5.3.1 patch before release sign & cut [22:41]
mod6 lo and behold.. [22:41]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform nah, i keep old nodes and old chains. [22:42]
mircea_popescu it must be some sort of local issue. [22:42]
asciilifeform mod6: this'd be why i objected to zapping the checkpoints thing wholesale. now, programmable checkpoints - by all means. [22:42]
asciilifeform config file - where they belong. [22:42]
asciilifeform just say no to hardcoded magic numb3rz. [22:42]
mircea_popescu code is not for data. data is not for code. [22:43]
mod6 yeah. that's the new plan. all magic numbers in a config file. [22:43]
mircea_popescu mod6 wasn;t it the old plan ?! [22:43]
mod6 or, at least, we'll start with that. [22:43]
mod6 yeah, well, still is the plan i should say :) [22:43]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: guess who also keeps vintage blockchain around [22:43]
asciilifeform and i doubt it's just 2 of us [22:44]
mircea_popescu i don't just "keep it around', it's what i actually use. [22:44]
asciilifeform all molestation of britneychain is necessarily localized phenomenon [22:44]
* asciilifeform uses, when uses anything at all [22:44]
mircea_popescu and yeah pretty sure we're not the onlyones. not by a longmargin. [22:44]
* asciilifeform keeps a number of editions going [22:44]
mod6 hmm, but yeah, really /was/ weird that it was inconsistant. [22:45]
mod6 i.e. TomServo having total success, and ben & I having weding problems. [22:45]
mod6 and we were using same build scripts .. and me building by hand even once. [22:46]
* asciilifeform uses bitcoin as a scientific toy, curio, but if he had been firing it in anger for years as mircea_popescu had, would have finished own implementation eons ago [22:46]
mircea_popescu btw, since you were asking ( a while ago) : found the oldest src set, monday may 21st 2012 [22:46]
mircea_popescu you still want it ? [22:46]

asciilifeform and, if gargantuan pipes can be had, to query addr lists and then graph wizardry [23:23]
asciilifeform (e.g. find clusters, cliques, esp. ones with peculiar behaviour) [23:24]
asciilifeform for a less-than-gargantuan pipe, this scales down in the obvious statistical way. [23:24]
mircea_popescu aws is cheap enough. [23:25]
asciilifeform iirc, the latest phoundation edition is able to use ipv6 [23:25]
asciilifeform but probably safe to ignore these [23:25]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: not sure if aws will even put out raw packets [23:25]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: see the linked 'mass scan' readme. [23:26]
asciilifeform (it uses custom tcp stack) [23:26]
asciilifeform and prefers to diddle a physical NIC directly, even. [23:26]
asciilifeform can also scan the old-fashioned way but then add two or three zeros to time required. [23:26]
asciilifeform also it absolutely has to happen from outside usa, for reasons [23:27]
asciilifeform (or in usa, but not own box) [23:27]

assbot Our thoughts are also with the measles-ravaged country America. I hope we are screening them before they come to Africa. [23:28]
asciilifeform lol! [23:28]
* BingoBoingo would not be surprised if traveler leaving US get quarentined for "Health Screenings" in the not to distant future. [23:29]
BingoBoingo If not already a thing. [23:29]
Vexual even if just to check if your dna is the same as when you arrived [23:30]
* Dr-G2 (~Dr-G@gateway/tor-sasl/dr-g) has joined #bitcoin-assets [23:30]
asciilifeform or what interesting antibodies you've come back with [23:30]
Vexual tru dat [23:30]
asciilifeform (for non-u.s. folks: the harshest searches are reserved for folks flying -in- at present) [23:31]
punkman asciilifeform: question is where to host massscan instance [23:31]
asciilifeform punkman: got a 10Gb/s pipe somewhere in asia ? [23:32]
decimation asciilifeform: docsis 3.1 uses aes-cbc 128-bit keys [23:32]
asciilifeform on physical (specifically not vps) machine [23:32]
asciilifeform decimation: ahahaha there we go [23:32]
asciilifeform toy crypto - it's not just a bad idea, it's the law! (TM) [23:32]

decimation ah "The CM MUST have two factory installed CM Device Certificates (and their associated private keys). The CM MUST have a CM Device Certificate installed that is issued from the new PKI. The CM MUST have a CM Device Certificate installed that is issued from the legacy PKI. The CM MUST have the same RSA public key in the CM Device Certificate as the RSA public key in the BPKM Attributes depending upon which CM Device Certificate is [23:33]
decimation used for authentication. The CM MUST use the CM Device Certificate issued from the new PKI when authenticating with a DOCSIS 3.1 or higher CMTS. The CM is to use the CM Device Certificate issued from the legacy PKI when authenticating with a DOCSIS 3.0 or older version of DOCSIS CMTS." [23:33]
decimation CM = "Cable Modem" [23:34]
asciilifeform -and- device keys generated in factory! [23:34]
punkman btw the patch that got lost in the tubes: http://dpaste.com/2EG2F1K.txt [23:34]
assbot ... ( http://bit.ly/1Dz1zav ) [23:34]
punkman removes cpumining functions [23:34]
asciilifeform punkman: lemme guess, snipped miner [23:34]
asciilifeform punkman: i actually must confess that i disagree [23:34]
decimation don't worry little consumer, your device uses 'military grade crypto' [23:34]
asciilifeform this is, recall, a -reference- implementation [23:34]
decimation we'll keep the keys though thanks [23:34]
asciilifeform punkman: hence ought to contain an example of miner. [23:35]
asciilifeform even if it is worthless in practice [23:35]
decimation lol "The CM MUST be able to process certificate serial number values containing 20 octets or fewer. The CM MUST accept certificates that have serial numbers that are negative or zero." [23:35]
asciilifeform but idea being, if dropped on alpha centauri with the RI, ought to be able to start using bitcoin immediately [23:35]
asciilifeform this means miner is in. [23:35]
Vexual japanese torrentboxes are abundant [23:35]
decimation asciilifeform: surely the miner need not be part of the same binary turdball? [23:36]
asciilifeform Vexual: has to be a *physical* box [23:36]
asciilifeform decimation: sure, can be outside [23:36]
Vexual im sure they are [23:36]
asciilifeform decimation: but imho it is unwise to throw away satoshi's miner so lightly [23:36]
decimation aye, the cpu mining code can come with [23:36]
asciilifeform satoshi's miner is valuable for the same reason as the rest of that piece of shit [23:37]
punkman asciilifeform: yeah I'm not sure it should be removed, the foundation shall decide. it was good for practice anyway [23:37]
asciilifeform i.e. it was written before bitcoin was valuable. [23:37]
decimation asciilifeform: in general, docsis is a "reference implementation" of usg crypto, complete with fips standards etc. [23:37]
asciilifeform decimation: surprised ? [23:37]
Vexual if youre making a node box, youd better have somewhere to plug in a miner [23:37]
decimation well, the amusing part is the key escrow [23:37]
asciilifeform Vexual: well, 'Get Work' [23:38]
* WolfGoethe has quit (Ping timeout: 245 seconds) [23:38]
* WolfGoethe (~textual@172.56.34.227) has joined #bitcoin-assets [23:39]
asciilifeform decimation: the funny part isn't any of this, but that wtf is the point, isp has plaintext of your packets necessarily, anyway [23:39]
asciilifeform the escrow can have -only one- purpose - to let nice folks at usg forge packets as 'provably' from your house. [23:40]
asciilifeform !s toilet tank [23:40]
assbot 9 results for 'toilet tank' : http://s.b-a.link/?q=toilet+tank [23:40]
decimation asciilifeform: yeah presumably if they wanted the packets they would just squeeze the ip stack at the isp [23:40]
asciilifeform ergo it is for -writing- not reading. [23:40]
asciilifeform reading - already trivial [23:40]
decimation well, there's another agenda here too [23:40]
decimation cable companies don't want mickey mouse crypto to cause some kind of pr incident [23:41]
asciilifeform there is also the matter of guaranteeing that the equipment cannot be repurposed for any sane use [23:41]
asciilifeform e.g., abroad [23:41]
decimation your traffic is for the eyes of those who are authorized to have it [23:41]
asciilifeform ^ that comes from isp tap, no need for diddled modems [23:41]
decimation aye. but the problem with this system is that they have put all their eggs in the manufacturer's basket [23:42]
decimation who keeps that keylist? [23:42]
asciilifeform there's another aspect, also [23:42]
asciilifeform there is a tradition in usa of 'deniable' snooping [23:42]
asciilifeform where the tap is placed surprisingly close downstream to the 'last mile' [23:42]

mircea_popescu can also scan the old-fashioned way but then add two or three zeros to time required. << yes, but cheap enough :) [23:44]
asciilifeform decimation: i wonder if the device keys have even been 'phuctored' ever. [23:44]
* OneNomos has quit (Remote host closed the connection) [23:45]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i'm not certain that a scan taking >year is worth much [23:45]
mircea_popescu eh fuck em, cloud speeds double every half year. [23:47]
mircea_popescu trivial on this basis to show it will be < 1 year [23:47]
asciilifeform l0l [23:47]
mircea_popescu no matter what other numbers are involved. [23:47]
* assbot removes voice from Vexual [23:47]
mircea_popescu don't lol mr, my work on this topic has been reviewed by internet csseconomists and other lolexperts. plus oleg leganza. [23:48]
asciilifeform decimation: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=28-08-2014#813119 << old thread, relevant [23:49]
assbot Logged on 28-08-2014 03:56:01; asciilifeform: there is also the tired, old, mundane 'there is a kilo of cocaine in your toilet tank' theorem. [23:49]
asciilifeform there is a whole not-very-well-hidden world of what one might call 'cardinal richelieu' ('...six words of the honest man!') infrastructure, waiting for command from usg to send 'd34th thr34tz!!!1111!!!' to some crowned head that are Provably!111! from your house, when the time comes [23:53]
mircea_popescu kinda why one should not waste time. [23:54]
asciilifeform !up Vexual [23:54]
* assbot gives voice to Vexual [23:54]
mircea_popescu send'em while you still can. [23:54]
asciilifeform oh it'll send by itself, lol [23:54]
asciilifeform with finest grammar, from content farms in philippines [23:54]

mircea_popescu asciilifeform check out this funny happenstance : once bb dropped the philippines bomb ? 20 mb thread suddenly of no further interest, off first page etc. [23:55]
mircea_popescu the best part of tradecraft is that it is so god damned hard to do well. [23:55]
asciilifeform see also the reddit incident [23:56]
asciilifeform same deal, no? [23:56]
mircea_popescu it's just this font of lulz, like, hm... quintessentially american to me. [23:56]
mircea_popescu lemme dig up that woman. [23:56]

* asciilifeform wonders whether, if mircea_popescu offered a bounty, one of the flunkies would walk in with 'smoking gun' dirt [23:57]
mircea_popescu this was a simple woman who couldn't write, that infatuated herself with the notion that she can produce poetry [23:57]
mircea_popescu was a great amusement for a little bit [23:57]
mircea_popescu but she persevered. the exact manners in which she persevered are, to me, the best summary of the american spirit that can be had. [23:57]
asciilifeform i was expecting a reference to the maths girl [23:57]
mircea_popescu a) claimed that the poor arrangement / band / etc were the reason people "didn't like" her 2nd performance. [23:58]
mircea_popescu the move from "laughed their ass at me" to "didn't like" ? blaming the band ? here : http://trilema.com/2015/have-some-chocolate-cake/#comment-111925 [23:58]
assbot Have some chocolate cake. pe Trilema - Un blog de Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/1Dz5gge ) [23:58]
mircea_popescu but then, for it doesn't end there! then she confronted teh comedy goldminers by saying that "they each paid a quarter to see a fool, but she's been paid 50 bux and sees a roomfull of fools" [23:59]
mircea_popescu right ? TOTALLY TURNED IT ON THEM WITH HER WITS [23:59]
mircea_popescu but then!!11 for it has a c. then her husband , who you know, was hoping to be able to enjoy a drink in a bar without being laughed into the ground sometime before he dies completely forbade any further writings [23:59]
mircea_popescu under pain of beatings and so forth. [23:59]
