| shinohai: | later tell BingoBoingo last one I promise http://ix.io/x0v (more changetip lulz) | [10:57] |
| gribble: | The operation succeeded. | [10:57] |
| mircea_popescu: | PeterL acts like a decanter (lead salts sink). | [11:46] |
| BingoBoingo: | Yeah, lead doesn't belong in the decanted fluid. It belongs in the glass of the decanter. | [12:15] |

| trinque: | $up deedbot- | [12:17] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: unrelatedly, i found out that orlov told the truth, and it really does cost only a few hundy usd/mo. to part a 30 ft. boat (on east coast usa at least) | [12:17] |
| deedbot: | deedbot- voiced for 30 minutes. | [12:17] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: ever consider doind the orlov thing and moving to one ? | [12:17] |
| asciilifeform: | *doing | [12:17] |
| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: But how would I get to engage in my lawncare hobby living aboard? Seawater isn't exactly a great growth medium for turfgrasses. | [12:18] |
| asciilifeform: | garden on uninhabited islands ? | [12:19] |
| asciilifeform: | iirc orlov had one | [12:19] |
| BingoBoingo: | Now that could be a hobby. | [12:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | trinque operation SOMETHINGORTHEOTHER ? | [12:21] |
| trinque: | lolwat | [12:22] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: prolly 90% of the reason i even read the man, is that his idea was solid - there is exactly ~one~ escape from the real estate leeches, and it is into the ocean. | [12:22] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform costs a lot less than that to park it in colonia on the rio de la plata. | [12:22] |
| mircea_popescu: | trinque re the darknet link | [12:22] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: i would park there immediately if i had a ship. | [12:22] |
| trinque: | mircea_popescu: ah hadn't read yet I was just throwing that in here because deedbot- was unvoiced | [12:22] |
| trinque: | RSS link | [12:22] |
| trinque: | I've got a few more tasks left then I can kill the old bot, couple of days | [12:23] |
| mircea_popescu: | the point being, that the mooring costs of a small vessel are about as relevant to such decisions as the cost of toilet paper to choosing your eventual residence. | [12:23] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: it is relevant in usa. | [12:23] |
| mircea_popescu: | trinque thanks god you made it come back after getting fucked, seems an hourly occurence these days. | [12:23] |
| asciilifeform: | elsewhere - i can easily believe that it is not. | [12:23] |
| trinque: | mircea_popescu: it's gotten ridiculous, yeah | [12:24] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: under discussion was orlov's gambit of seagoing-thing-as-escape-from-rent | [12:24] |
| asciilifeform: | rather than pleasure yachting | [12:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | nowhere it is relevant for STRUCTURAL reasons. that it appears significant to you in x context it's only because you're not accounting for the other, more important costs, which also scaled up. | [12:24] |
| trinque: | I inquired in #freenode and no staffers said a word | [12:24] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: which costs ? | [12:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | ie, if you can't afford the toilet paper in monaco, that doesn't mean it's because ofg the cost of tp you can't move there. | [12:24] |
| deedbot-: | [Qntra] The Parting Of ChangeTip Continues - http://qntra.net/2016/04/the-parting-of-changetip-continues/ | [12:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform suppose you spring a leak and must have it fixed RIGHT NOW. or at least be toed in drydock. | [12:24] |
| mircea_popescu: | the notion that escape from rent is to go into a hostile element that's not self-sustainable is about as retarded as you'd expect from americans. | [12:25] |
| mircea_popescu: | hey you know what ? pay more taxes, thatg'll malke them go away! | [12:25] |
| mircea_popescu: | and if you can't talk to women - BE MORE SELECTIVE AS TO THE WOMEN YOU TALK TO!!11 | [12:25] |
| mircea_popescu: | too fat ? eat more junk food. too lazy ? get comfier couches. wanna escape rent ? move on fucking venus! no rent there, it's all costs! | [12:26] |
| asciilifeform: | spring a leak - fix it alone. | [12:26] |
| mircea_popescu: | get out. | [12:26] |
| mircea_popescu: | you're going to fix leaks alone when you couldn't as much as buldgeon to death a puny taxman. | [12:26] |
| phf: | live on boat is a slightly more proactive take on "wait for zombies to come" | [12:27] |
| * BingoBoingo | imagines converting uninhabitted island to kentucky bluegrass monoculture and setting loose solar robot mowers has potential for lulz. | [12:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | ~anyone can wring the neck of a mousy accountant. | [12:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | much harder to plug leaks in seagoing vessels. | [12:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | phf maybe they're zombie manatees ? | [12:27] |
| BingoBoingo: | Zombatees! | [12:27] |
| asciilifeform: | realize, the 2k/mo i wouldn't be paying in rent buys quite a few fixed leaks. | [12:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | no, "live on boat" is more of the same adolescentine male fantasy displayed by overfed neotenic preteens captive in aging, sagging bodies that won't grow up for the life of them. | [12:28] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform no, it does not. | [12:28] |
| mircea_popescu: | costs have a structure that is idependent of your perception. | [12:28] |
| BingoBoingo: | How many fixed leaks does it buy 25 km from shore? | [12:28] |
| mircea_popescu: | if the rent is 2k the leak fixing is 20k. for the same reason. | [12:28] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: my understanding is that many of the folks doing the boat thing (and we have them even here in dc) don't go far from the parking dock. | [12:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | the folks "doing the boat thing" are a 1% subset of the folks doing the RV thing. | [12:29] |
| asciilifeform: | and when they start to leak, they use the lift (comes with the slip rent) and drag the tub to the communal repair lot, and work. | [12:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | which folks are old, poor, and marginal for a fucking reason. | [12:30] |
| mircea_popescu: | if you're going to do that might as well move to rural georgia, pick a blondy and a mulatto woman and smoke meth for your remaining years. | [12:30] |
| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: Ah, but here live on boat parking is $800 for a slip on Mississippi river and places with yards are often less. | [12:30] |
| mircea_popescu: | guaranteed not to even notice the inconveniences of the lifestyle. | [12:30] |
| BingoBoingo: | And rivers, unlike ocean flood | [12:31] |
| phf: | it seems like a fun thing to do when you're young though, as long as you don't sit in the dock all the time ermagerd | [12:31] |
| shinohai: | thx BingoBoingo | [12:31] |
| mircea_popescu: | phf everything's fun when you're young and have money. | [12:31] |
| BingoBoingo: | yw shinohai ty for the submissions | [12:31] |
| phf: | :D | [12:31] |
| mircea_popescu: | the reason this is so, is because as you age you become enmoored to various idiocies. | [12:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | easy to be recognized because they come in a few standard flavours : | [12:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | "i need X for X" "wouldn't it be cool if X then i could Y" etc. | [12:32] |
| phf: | it seems important to die from time to time | [12:32] |
| asciilifeform: | phf: understand, i find it appealing strictly from the escape-from-rent angle. | [12:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | the problem of old people is that they don't think they may have permission to exist. | [12:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | this is all the better - they don't. | [12:33] |
| BingoBoingo: | Oh, is that what was going on at the Marina? | [12:33] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: i just happened to go in one, on the way from place 'a' to place 'b' | [12:33] |
| asciilifeform: | quite incidental. | [12:33] |
| asciilifeform: | and yes, somehow life on ships is 'adolescentine male fantasy' to mircea_popescu but shooting tax collectors (who, where i live, come in tanks and with heavy machine guns, by the dozen) isn't... | [12:34] |
| phf: | asciilifeform: you really need to be a mythical la-fondian character from robert howard stories to pull it off as "escape from rent", but then you won't be escaping to begin with, since you were never it | [12:35] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform not the point. the point was that YOU COULD, actually, wring a tax accountant's neck. you could not, as a factual matter, plug a leak. | [12:35] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: so mr o's tub never leaks ? | [12:35] |
| asciilifeform: | or is actually a nuke sub funded by moscow ? | [12:35] |
| asciilifeform: | or what | [12:35] |
| mircea_popescu: | nevertheless you do not consider the former a feasible approach to the problem of tax but you without as much as batting an eyelash pull the former out fo ass in response to a challenge you hadn't even considewred! | [12:35] |
| mircea_popescu: | why is it that you think yourself the crystal dragon jesus of wrighting boats when you can't as much as punch out another chimp ? | [12:36] |
| mircea_popescu: | every chimp can punch out another chimp. no chimp made a boat. | [12:36] |
| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: my heuristic is that i consider problems involving simple physical systems, thousands of years in test, as SOLVABLE. and those involving people/social skill, etc. NOT. | [12:36] |
| mircea_popescu: | this heuristic is about as idiotic as the heuristic that you consider men approachable for sex but women not. | [12:36] |
| asciilifeform: | understand the difference ? | [12:36] |
| mircea_popescu: | it's called a sexual preference, not a fucking heuristic. | [12:36] |
| asciilifeform: | one type of item i deal with, like breathing. other - entirely useless in. | [12:37] |
| mircea_popescu: | right ? | [12:37] |
| mircea_popescu: | "i'm gay because i have so much experience iwth it" | [12:37] |
| phf: | but more importantly how do you put an electronic microscope on a boat? | [12:37] |
| asciilifeform: | l0l | [12:37] |
| mircea_popescu: | phf it doesn't count there, anymore. | [12:38] |
| asciilifeform: | phf: you don't | [12:38] |
| mircea_popescu: | he'll gyro-stabylize it because SOLVABLE. | [12:38] |
| asciilifeform: | actually i would. | [12:38] |
| mircea_popescu: | fuck, seawater great solvent, will solve a lotta things. | [12:38] |
| asciilifeform: | understand, i would rather seal hard disks against sea foam, than deal with humans. | [12:38] |
| mircea_popescu: | it surely as fuck solves iron right into the depths! | [12:38] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform this is a problem. for some reason you're approaching it at the very wrong end of the funnel. | [12:39] |
| asciilifeform: | there is exactly one end. | [12:39] |
| mircea_popescu: | mno. there's the end where you try to build a gyroscope-stabilized microscope on a small sea platform and there's the end where you start going to bars and picking up women you're not the slightest bit interested in and marrying them. | [12:39] |
| mircea_popescu: | you're fixing the wrong end. | [12:39] |
| asciilifeform: | if mircea_popescu had said anything else i'dve worried that he were stolen and replaced by a cheap double. | [12:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | only expensive doubles here! | [12:40] |
| BingoBoingo: | https://i.imgur.com/U2HF6s2.png | [12:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | but it is actual lived experience, not just theory. i have a female human right here whose task it has been to talk to women each day for the past months, and it has driven her to tears and the very brink a few times already. | [12:41] |
| mircea_popescu: | nevertheless. the cure is the cure the dicking around is the dicking around. | [12:41] |
| asciilifeform: | there is not a cure for missed childhood development | [12:41] |
| asciilifeform: | and mircea_popescu knows this,. | [12:41] |
| mircea_popescu: | funny, so said she. | [12:41] |
| asciilifeform: | chix are reflashable. | [12:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | i know no such thing, and you're lucky you don't have tits, there'd be a whipping in it for you by now. | [12:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | pfff. | [12:42] |
| asciilifeform: | old men are not reflashable, (though i hear, they ~are~ recyclable..) | [12:43] |
| mircea_popescu: | everyone's fine once they give up on the disease. | [12:43] |
| mircea_popescu: | and nobody before. | [12:43] |
| asciilifeform: | http://btcbase.org/log/2016-04-18#1453427 << it is mircea_popescu'd ideological sauce that these are equivalent or even comparable, i get it. | [12:47] |

| mircea_popescu: | <mircea_popescu> every chimp can punch out another chimp. no chimp made a boat. | [12:56] |
| mircea_popescu: | politics are easy technology is hard. that some people would dedicate themselves to the hard without any whatsoever effort put into the easy is both scandalous and suicidal. | [12:57] |
| asciilifeform: | snore, ye olde 'mens sana in corpore sano' (tm) (r) aha | [12:57] |

| mircea_popescu: | what, it was made obsolete by the community ? | [12:57] |
| asciilifeform: | l0l | [12:58] |
| mircea_popescu: | no but that's exactly the pretense here. | [12:58] |
| mircea_popescu: | "community" has gotten together and made it obsolete. *rolleyes* | [12:58] |
| asciilifeform: | nobody cancelled it, no | [12:58] |
| asciilifeform: | but man without legs has to get pretty good with arms. | [12:58] |
| asciilifeform: | or is good for nothing at all. | [12:59] |
| mircea_popescu: | so then! what "ideological sauce". it's a fact. | [12:59] |
| mircea_popescu: | eh, and man without "an appetite for labour" will have to do pretty good on theft ? | [12:59] |
| mircea_popescu: | so sad too bad, such mystical self amputations. | [12:59] |

| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform nah, it's just this lifestyle / mentality thing. not SO different from your very own gyro-boat thing, really. by which i don't mean anything other than that they themselves were unaware of what exactly arguing. | [15:38] |
| asciilifeform: | my 'gyro-boat' has a found foundation in my utter loathing of the company of the typical meatsack | [15:41] |
| asciilifeform: | *sound f | [15:41] |
| asciilifeform: | and i don't argue it as a universal good, but as something i specifically want out of life. | [15:43] |
| mircea_popescu: | well, their notions about the world are arguably also not a "universal good" in this sense, and similarly based on utter loathing [based in turn on fear, like all loathing {based in turn on unexamined ignorance, like all fear <supported by optionality, like all nonsense>}] | [16:00] |
| mircea_popescu: | suffice it to say that one thing leads to the next, and before you know it you're a robber on the lam with some dead nightwatchmen in your past, merely for "just wanting to". evil is fruit of the poisonous root, and for as long as one buys into the priors, one will end up in VCtron land willy-nilly. | [16:02] |
| asciilifeform: | so, e.g., mircea_popescu's lack of eagerness to be buggered, say, by six metre long black cock, is also 'from loathing and ignorance' ? | [16:03] |
| asciilifeform: | or is this pref legit where others are not | [16:03] |
| asciilifeform: | and then how. | [16:03] |
| mircea_popescu: | hey, check you out using the sexual comparison skill to great disruption and awesome effect. | [16:03] |
| asciilifeform: | l0l seemed like an obvious test. | [16:04] |
| mircea_popescu: | there's nothing illegitimate about preferences, inasmuch as they're someone's preference. | [16:04] |
| mircea_popescu: | there's also nothing surprising about the effects of preferences. | [16:04] |
| asciilifeform: | i dun see any surprised people | [16:04] |
| mircea_popescu: | i thought the whole discussion started with some derpy webservice being surprised by its own success or somesuch. | [16:05] |
| asciilifeform: | aha, then it turned into how asciilifeform is as dumb and unreflective as vorhees, or sumthing | [16:06] |
| mircea_popescu: | no it didn't! | [16:07] |
| mircea_popescu: | "by which i don't mean anything other than that they themselves were unaware of what exactly arguing". it's not aboot you! | [16:07] |
| mircea_popescu: | it's about the damned gyroboats. | [16:10] |

| mod6: | beat down status | [17:48] |
| shinohai: | :/ | [17:48] |
| mod6: | i think i'll be in good enough shape to work remote tomorrow. | [17:49] |
| shinohai: | Pollen is like an inch thick here, allergies got me a bit but I got meds. | [17:49] |
| asciilifeform: | must be great having dayz off tho | [17:53] |
| asciilifeform: | (i theoretically have some, but must hoard them, for job interviews...) | [17:54] |
| mod6: | i get quite a number of them, plent extra in case i need to interview. | [17:56] |
| mod6: | *plenty | [17:57] |
| asciilifeform: | mod6: you have the kind that can be stored for >1y dontcha. | [17:58] |
| mircea_popescu: | mod6 what did you get anyway, stomach flu ? | [18:30] |
| mod6: | well, some sort of flu,or wicked cold. seems to be mainly fever & respitory symptoms. | [19:00] |
| mod6: | asciilifeform: this place gives you 18 days on Jan 1st. they gave me like 5 days between when I started in late oct and the end of '15. | [19:01] |
| asciilifeform: | mod6: neato | [19:11] |
| mod6: | ftr, i never seen a place ever offer more than say, 12 + company wide holidays. | [19:17] |
| mod6: | so this is well above par | [19:17] |
| asciilifeform: | company-wide ? | [19:17] |
| asciilifeform: | as in, everyone ? | [19:17] |
| asciilifeform: | what the hell is that good for | [19:17] |
| mod6: | yah, like, day-after-thanksgiving, etc. | [19:18] |
| asciilifeform: | useless. | [19:18] |
| asciilifeform: | i celebrate 0 holidays and would prefer that they ~all~ be movable | [19:18] |
| asciilifeform: | but that might be just me. | [19:18] |
| mod6: | basically, you can't choose it, but they throw that in as in, "hey, look, we're such good guys we're gonna give you the day off even though you probably would have taken it off anyway nevermind that the rest of the "free" world has this day off too." | [19:19] |
| mod6: | and, i agree with you, i could give a shit less. | [19:19] |
| mod6: | i'd rather beable to move those additional ~4-5 days around at will. | [19:19] |
| mircea_popescu: | you should see the argentinian "work" calendar. | [19:27] |
