nubbins` it really is only like another $8 for the purple logo'd one, hey? [00:00]
danielpbarron yes [00:00]
BingoBoingo mircea_popescu> so i'm banning both clam shitcoin and cryptsy from bitbet. anyone want to argue either ? << Surprised Cryptsy didn't hit the shitlist earlier [00:00]
asciilifeform what even was it... [00:00]
mircea_popescu me too. i guess nobody cared. [00:00]
nubbins` i feel like i have a sata drive from my last laptop somewhere [00:00]
nubbins` it drank a beer [00:00]
danielpbarron that's the idea / that most people probably have a harddrive they can rip out of an old laptop [00:01]
nubbins` danielpbarron in fact, if i order two pogos on ebay, it automatically adds import charges [00:01]
nubbins` one pogo, no charges [00:01]
nubbins` dem regulations [00:02]
asciilifeform danielpbarron: that was precisely why i wanted the sata feature, yes [00:02]
danielpbarron how much would 2 cost you? [00:02]
nubbins` overall slightly cheaper per unit than ordering one [00:03]
danielpbarron even with the extra charge? [00:03]
nubbins` added import charges, marginally higher shipping cost [00:03]
nubbins` yep [00:03]
danielpbarron fwiw, my profession is shipping/recieving [00:03]
danielpbarron specifically LTL [00:03]
mircea_popescu haha cool. [00:04]

indiancandy1 there are actually witchdoctors that specialise in this 419 thing [01:01]
asciilifeform since we're on the subject, could someone enlighten me re: how 'tinder' does anything once the counterparties meet in the flesh? [01:01]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform it provides structure for the conversation. [01:02]
indiancandy1 it works on gprs [01:02]
indiancandy1 so basically seeking locals [01:02]
BingoBoingo since we're on the subject, could someone enlighten me re: how 'tinder' does anything once the counterparties meet in the flesh? << Not in its spec. Hands this off to wetware [01:02]
mircea_popescu you're not going to say "how bout those metz" not because you're not dumb enough to do that, which you are, but because you're not smart enough to think ot the metz. [01:02]
asciilifeform but that's the actual mega-problem [01:02]
mircea_popescu so you're stuck being in the same space. [01:02]
cazalla nothing worse than a woman enthral by her iphone, i'd bet the tinder girls are much worse [01:02]
indiancandy1 it should be called seeking locals [01:02]
cazalla i would do the twitch thing tbh, tinder dating you are capped at one man per date, twitch is unlimited [01:03]
indiancandy1 its for people who just want casual sex [01:03]
indiancandy1 and this days most of society just want that [01:03]
BingoBoingo it should be called seeking locals << This is why you suck at spam 101 [01:03]

indiancandy1 ? [01:03]
BingoBoingo indiancandy1: I know. It's jsut actual descriptive names don't ever go viral [01:04]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform now imagine if on top of all this "important" stuff, she also had the fucking receiver bolt : "for every missing one, you get ten lashes. each day." [01:04]
asciilifeform my understanding was that 'tinder' etc. could only boost the guy's chances because the gurl arrives pre-initialized [01:04]
BingoBoingo my understanding was that 'tinder' etc. could only boost the guy's chances because the gurl arrives pre-initialized << Does it need to do more? [01:04]
danielpbarron asciilifeform, the app helps in that it isn't aimed at establishing long-term relationships; you can already have a new one-night-stand ready for when you're done with the current one [01:05]
indiancandy1 it should be called sluts r us [01:05]
indiancandy1 ahahahahahahah [01:05]
cazalla indiancandy1, quit slut shaming [01:05]
mircea_popescu sluts r us! [01:05]
asciilifeform well yes but how does it improve chances vs. visiting a specially-designated heathen pit where these presently congregate [01:05]
danielpbarron from what i understand though, the guys are the sluts; the app is for women [01:05]
indiancandy1 there is one for gays also [01:06]
asciilifeform ^ now -that- would make sense [01:06]
indiancandy1 and one for lesboz [01:06]
BingoBoingo well yes but how does it improve chances vs. visiting a specially-designated heathen pit where these presently congregate << Heathen pits have greater explicit costs [01:06]

indiancandy1 london [01:07]
indiancandy1 and its completley different [01:07]
cazalla likewise, pub/bar are two diff things down under [01:08]
danielpbarron is the difference whether you sit or stand? [01:08]
indiancandy1 no [01:08]
* asciilifeform bows out of this thread because realizes he has no personal experience with any of the things therein, at all, nor does he have a working theoretical model of them [01:08]
indiancandy1 if i had 2 compare it to hotels i would say a bar is more 5star and pub is like local bed and breakfast [01:09]
cazalla pub is more cheap food and booze, bar is more.. cocktail.. you'd never get a cocktail at a pub.. unless ya like a poof or something [01:09]
danielpbarron i can't find a good cocktail anywhere [01:11]

BingoBoingo "There’s a gathering ‘round, anticipations, the camaraderie of the pour-and-pass. Speeches are made and improvised from makeshift pulpits. In a chamber of strangers there comes a blossoming sense of true union, a warm realization of the beauty in us all, and the hope for a happier tomorrow. The energy of the room charges upward to its apex, tears flow freely, everyone screams… And then, in silent finale, we all tip back bar [01:23]

asciilifeform there are conditions that interfere with sleep. as in, cannot - or can only rarely - sleep. eventually fatal. but before victim dies, he experiences more or less the whole gamut of 'meth addict' pathologies. [01:59]
mircea_popescu actually i so very much doubt that has to be fatal... [02:00]
asciilifeform which suggests that u.s. army medics were right, and meth (or other stimulator) per se doesn't poison the user [02:00]
mircea_popescu if i ever get one i'll report. [02:00]

asciilifeform iirc. [02:00]
mircea_popescu asciilifeform the thing is, when i don't actually sleep i revert to these 4 hour cycles with about an hourish of downtime, and im fine. [02:00]
mircea_popescu i think the pathology results from not actually respecting that. [02:01]
asciilifeform mircea_popescu: the pathology arises in cases where victim - usually for reason of taking stimulator nonstop - feels no compulsion to sleep. [02:01]

nubbins` asciilifeform so the cocaine sold in usa would now have to be 30-40% pure instead of 20%? [12:40]

asciilifeform it is, as i understand, a severe taboo among them, to sell it undiluted [12:47]
mircea_popescu people are so fucking poor now a bag qualifies you as a wholesaler. [12:47]
nubbins` someone who isn't me has witnessed dealers receive new shipment, open bag, set several spoonfuls aside for sef, then dump 8-10 tbsp of random white in there [12:47]
nubbins` *self [12:48]
nubbins` if pure cocaine was sold here, people would overdose [12:48]
mircea_popescu nubbins` pure is the safest by far. [12:48]
asciilifeform i suppose if you have any schooling whatsoever, you can recrystallize it if you want [12:48]
mircea_popescu otherwise you accidentally hit a 50% as if it were a 20% and bam [12:48]
nubbins` asciilifeform you don't need schooling to make crack [12:48]
nubbins` mircea_popescu pure being the only thing around is safest, sure. [12:49]
nubbins` but dealers care less about safe and more about $$ [12:49]
asciilifeform recrystallize != use it as crystal [12:49]

asciilifeform the basic concept, as PeterL (chemist?) will attest, is that a synthesis doesn't necessarily (and most often) produce only one thing. each step will result in one or more unwanted substances, including everything that failed to react in previous steps [13:04]
asciilifeform some of the costliest operations in traditional pharma industry are recrystallizations/purifications [13:04]

danielpbarron i wouldn't say it revolves around the suitcase [14:19]
danielpbarron the suitcase doesn't have much to do with the fixed boxing match [14:20]
danielpbarron i suppose all the different plots relate to marcellus wallace [14:20]
thestringpuller yea that interlude is only connected after jules retires and delivers the suitcase [14:21]

mircea_popescu for my curiosity, anyone still remember the elizabeth smart thing ? "kidnapped" 14yo utah blondie goes to party with "kidnappers" etc ? [17:33]
mircea_popescu apud Ballas : "I know, I know, she's only 15-- terrified, Stockholm Syndrome, etc. And I have no right to judge her (in)actions since I am not her, I didn't live her life. Though that brings us back to the black teen: why is fear an acceptable explanation for poor judgment, but anger is not? (Hint: they're both not.)" [17:33]
mircea_popescu in point of fact you can readily distinguish the male dominated society from the female dominated society, because they each succumb to their own foibles. [17:34]
mircea_popescu in dudeland anger is accepted explanation, fear is not. in broadland, the reverse. [17:34]

mircea_popescu most people don't bother fucking their wives. why'd they bother with some random dude. [23:24]
asciilifeform afaik this normally happens because the wife breaks down [23:25]
mircea_popescu not to say rape doesn't exist in prison. however, celebrity also exists in california. [23:25]

mircea_popescu anyway, to make this easier to approach, i would propose the situation depicted in american history x is perhaps the best summary of the situation. [23:27]
mircea_popescu there's exactly one rape there, and it comes out of a political struggle. [23:27]

mircea_popescu it is the fate of the intellectual to discuss things that shall never be. [23:43]

decimation asciilifeform: if you drill, you find that the bureaucracy that disburses these payments is extremely jealous about releasing exact details [23:50]
decimation for obvious reasons [23:50]
