| trinque: | this porn whore that decides she'll have 15min of upboats recounting some mundane tryst she had with a mediocre man. | [02:38] |
| * trinque | allocates his outrage as best he can, comes up short | [02:38] |
| mircea_popescu: | i'm confused as whether this is the groped staffer to the anti-groping campaigner or the chin-plower sex service dollie to the tan-haired first american or which | [02:44] |
| * trinque | does not know how the power dynamics play out among whore that ascends, and thus cannot reckon what her hindbrain tells her she didn't get. | [02:48] |

| mircea_popescu: | no but i mean, was this re http://trilema.com/forum-logs-for-09-feb-2018#2408380 or http://btcbase.org/log/2018-02-09#1783033 or some third item ? | [02:57] |
| a111: | Logged on 2018-02-09 23:08 pete_dushenski: lulzy trump anecdote of the day comes to us from his personal porn star stormy daniels : "She describes walking into his suite at the Beverly Hills Hotel, for instance. “You could see the television from the little dining room table and he was watching Shark Week,” she recalled. “And he was watching a special about the U.S.S. something and it sank and it was like the worst shark attack in history.

| mircea_popescu: | sooo BingoBoingo there's two fundamental problems you got there. one of them is that you have significant bills hitting in a few weeks that you've made no provision for paying. the other's that you lack basic physical building blocks, a lack you've made no provision for even discovering in time. | [09:48] |
| mircea_popescu: | i did try throughout, up to and including yesterday, to somehow compensate for the various issues, but eventually the time comes for the observation that the situation you created for yourself there is not actually tenable. spend your remaining cash on your plane ticket out, we're putting an end here to this well meaning but ultimately ineffectual effort. | [09:48] |
| mircea_popescu: | phf feel free to not use the plane tickets you bought, if that's more convenient. | [09:49] |
| mircea_popescu: | more generally : i do not perceive any sort of future for the republic without an isp. | [09:58] |
| mircea_popescu: | i know there's this generalized habit to believe one's "in charge" of "himself" and may permit or not permit reality into his autism bubble as he sees fit and with no further consequences than whatever he may deign to allow, such magic powers being the absolute minimum bar for a special person quite as superbly special as those bred of postmodernity. | [09:58] |
| mircea_popescu: | i can follow with that in mind the overpoweringly loud "so what if mp said however long ago and it saying it again, my life is my own to make!!!!" disclaimer going silently with every such statement. | [09:58] |
| mircea_popescu: | nevertheless, reality can only be elided at significant personal sacrifice and over short intervals. so, to repeat it : there is no future for the republic without an isp. | [09:58] |
| BingoBoingo: | mircea_popescu: Understood. The closest thing to rescuing the situation here is appearing to be take on substantially more debt from mircea_popescu while working with the local mud, and insufficient assurance the mud can be made baked into bricks. I am willing to take on the debt, but I am now grossly aware I was unprepared intellectually and otherwise. I also see no reason for mircea_popescu to bleed cash feeding Uruguayos when the | [10:07] |

| asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: might you consider selling ? | [10:12] |
| mircea_popescu: | selling what ? | [10:13] |
| asciilifeform: | the carcass. supposing BingoBoingo would go along. i.e. rights to the rack, operation, etc . | [10:14] |
| mircea_popescu: | selling to whom ? | [10:14] |
| asciilifeform: | asciilifeform would bid, if price is right | [10:14] |
| asciilifeform: | possibly others | [10:14] |
| mircea_popescu: | i would certainly consider selling now take the next hour and consider the matter THOROUGHLY, before you come back to promise me that you're actually acting rationally, rather than psychotically trying to further a dream on the flimsy fuel of injured self-image. | [10:16] |
| asciilifeform: | make, say, auction ( perhaps for l1 people only ) | [10:16] |
| mircea_popescu: | i'll be here an hour later. so will be here the fact the latter approach is well known and THOROUGHLY documented to cause shocking failure in otherwise well meaning, intelligent and respectable kids. that's ~the whole history of early bitcoin. | [10:16] |
| asciilifeform: | i didnt say 'i'll buy right now, muhaha' did i | [10:16] |
| asciilifeform: | make auction, like for bbet say | [10:17] |
| mircea_popescu: | well carcasses have to be bought on the spot, they rot. | [10:17] |
| mircea_popescu: | otherwise what the hell are you buying, "the rights" ? come feb 25th or so the item is worth ~0. | [10:17] |
| asciilifeform: | iirc idea was , when originally proposed by mircea_popescu , for it to be +ev in ~year | [10:18] |
| asciilifeform: | when stack fills | [10:18] |
| mircea_popescu: | yes, but that was an idea, and the idea lives equally well everywhere. you don't have to implement it on this particular stump in preference of any other. | [10:18] |
| asciilifeform: | well this stump comes with an emplaced pair of l1 hands | [10:18] |
| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: That isn't anything to sell. You would be financing BingoBoingo's increasingly uncertain adventure. Or coming down here personally meeting BingoBoingo and seeing if Latecho will transfer the contract to you before the end of February. | [10:19] |
| mircea_popescu: | sure it does, but BingoBoingo isn't my chattel-held slavegirl, he's a free agent, what. | [10:19] |
| asciilifeform: | right, must see what he says | [10:19] |
| asciilifeform: | otherwise empty balloon, not isp | [10:19] |
| mircea_popescu: | you certainly don't have to buy him from me in any case o.O | [10:19] |
| asciilifeform: | well let's first see 1) is there sale 2) does BingoBoingo include himself , then 3) is there buy | [10:20] |
| mircea_popescu: | yes yes. do what i told you, i don't say these things out of boredom. then we'll see. | [10:21] |
| asciilifeform: | i'ma back tomorrow still in the process of last iteration of 'do what mircea_popescu told' | [10:22] |

| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: I am not opposed to taking alfdebt in favor of mircea_popescu debt minding that the mircea_popescu debt comes first unless alf makes other arrangements with mircea_popescu. And also that a substantial part of the +EV involves BingoBoingo does things alf will find very disgusting to a few boxes in order to sell shared hosting. Think of how alf directed venture with PCengines 8 to the 1U as opposed to VPS for small | [10:32] |
| BingoBoingo: | instances would work. | [10:32] |
| BingoBoingo: | As fucking disappointing as the locals are, I still prefer being off the reservation. If asciilifeform can promise the fuel to continue Hostel + Desk + $20 daily per diem to not starve... BingoBoingo is going to take time and think himself... After blogging the other pics from the yesterday walk. | [10:42] |

| mircea_popescu: | then in 20 years important worms can hurr durr about how you "stole" your fortune (from the "less advantaged" who "had fewer oppportunities") because, ohohohobiously, "all capital is theft". | [13:12] |
| mircea_popescu: | (saneland here technically is taiwan or somesuch, i expect, but anyway) | [13:13] |
| BingoBoingo: | That is the only long game I had been seeing which might justify continuing the adventure. Especially considering THIS is the local webhosting competition https://www.netuy.net/hosting.linux.uruguay.php?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIlpvT_4qc2QIVkYKRCh0msAP1EAAYASAAEgKVU_D_BwE | [14:33] |
