| pete_dushenski: | BingoBoingo: motorless is preferable. makes for stronger legs and leaves more skin attached to body. | [00:50] |
| BingoBoingo: | <mod6> wear a helmet << plan for at least first 10 kilomiles | [00:53] |
| BingoBoingo: | pete_dushenski: But motorless doesn't sound like enraged lawnmower | [00:54] |
| pete_dushenski: | BingoBoingo: that's why you put in headphones for maximum soundtrack. you can then listen to anything in the world other than the pissed cars and pedestrians flipping you off after you cut them off | [01:04] |
| BingoBoingo: | That doesn't sound much like oppressing others | [01:05] |
| pete_dushenski: | motorless also has the advantage of being immune to road laws. it's like having diplomatic immunity | [01:05] |
| pete_dushenski: | not quite http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-11#1654485 levels but you can at least run reds. | [01:07] |

| pete_dushenski: | as an aside, this mircea_popescu retelling blows my feeble canadian mind no matter how many times i read it. i'm not sure there's been a single person in the history of this great arable land that's had an impromptu motorcade like that. | [01:09] |
| mircea_popescu: | joining nato utterly ruined the place. | [01:10] |
| pete_dushenski: | BingoBoingo: is motorhelmet not required by law in mo ? or what happens after first 10 kilomiles ? | [01:11] |
| pete_dushenski: | mircea_popescu: guess so | [01:11] |
| pete_dushenski: | in other quantifiable tragedies, these are allegedly the quants who 'run wall street'. seriously sorry lot : https://archive.is/HU2Nn/dfc7e5f98f4d716186ceb87157295d37c231f5cb.jpg | [01:13] |

| ben_vulpes: | BingoBoingo: very bad for the micromorts | [01:19] |
| BingoBoingo: | pete_dushenski: not required anywhere really, most helmet laws have been repealed | [01:19] |

| BingoBoingo: | ben_vulpes: tool around on back roads, fun in farm country, and intercontinental travel ability | [01:30] |
| mircea_popescu: | by your very loose... standards, latrine on cartwheels may qualify for "intercontinental travel ability" | [01:31] |
| ben_vulpes: | BingoBoingo: from experience, back roads have an absurdly high incidence of dipshits over the line in blind corners | [01:32] |
| BingoBoingo: | ben_vulpes: Around here backroads don't have lines | [01:33] |
| ben_vulpes: | quittit | [01:33] |

| ben_vulpes: | oh subject of, BingoBoingo, "was heckled for being himself insufficiently vulgar language towards..." | [01:41] |

| mircea_popescu: | this is good for fiat! | [09:06] |
| trinque: | must be, lol. | [09:06] |
| mircea_popescu: | it's so fucking amusing to me, how derps always pretend like they got all the optionality and all the time in the world. hurr durr i'm some random chick, almost hot, almost smart ? clearly i don't have to jump on this guy the moment i see him. nah, let time pass, let me "figure things out", he'll still be here. then get all butthurt when "that slut" did EXACTLY what subs shopuld be doing. "omg she just jumped on him started t | [09:07] |

| mircea_popescu: | and it goes the same everywhere. hurr durr i'm poor but i trhink im smart. and i want bitcoin. mp made eulora ? you knopw what ? i'll fuck around with nothing in particular, see what uppity tortilla is going, there's plenty of time. mp will be around forever!!1 | [09:08] |
| mircea_popescu: | yes, he will, lol. | [09:08] |
| mircea_popescu: | oh, #trilema ? whatever, let me just finish "correcting" these wikipedia articles. #trilema can wait. | [09:08] |
| mircea_popescu: | suuure it can. and that total psychopath mp, how he beheads people for NO REASON!!!! | [09:09] |
| mircea_popescu: | they were just...! | [09:09] |
| trinque: | girl's a nanny to this derpy liberal fambly, shiftless dad says to breadwinner surgeon mother "something something web wallet oh also I have this shitty antminer". mother immediately asks "how will they tax it though". girl asks whether he actually holds the private keys, rolls eyes. | [09:12] |
| trinque: | makes me proud. | [09:12] |
| mircea_popescu: | lel | [09:13] |
| diana_coman: | lol, it's ok argentinians are/have been -happily! - waiting as well and they will keep at it indefinitely, what | [09:17] |
| mircea_popescu: | that process has turned a country which cca 1950 was in the top 5, ABOVE CANADA, into something struggling to not be overtaken by the gabon. | [09:17] |
| mircea_popescu: | and there is no rhetorical flourish in the above it is exact and correctly descriptive. | [09:18] |
| mircea_popescu: | for as long as your antecessors accumulated fat lasts, you can pretend. after which, welcome to jobbagy, and complain to my asshole about "the unfairness of it all". | [09:18] |
| diana_coman: | it's ok, I hear they got now a CS conference in Buenos Aires and they get therefore to steal participants' laptops,it's all a craze | [09:18] |
| mircea_popescu: | lel. you ever seen those fucks at a conference btw ? | [09:19] |
| mircea_popescu: | total romania 1990, they attempt to steal the mic to talk about themselves. | [09:19] |
| trinque: | I can't imagine it's unlike the pretenders at this or that javascript con | [09:19] |
| mircea_popescu: | they got this narrative, that gotta be spun, that's the public activity. | [09:19] |
| * diana_coman | has recently been under a bit of avalanche of pictures from latest ICSE in Buenos Aires and she's SO HAPPY to not be there | [09:19] |
| mircea_popescu: | exactly where ustards will end up. already are, what with http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-22#1660148 | [09:19] |
| a111: | Logged on 2017-05-22 17:44 asciilifeform: umd puts out a 'newspaper', also. at one time it was ~readable if a snore. today -- ~100% 'ohnoez campusrape, moarfunding' | [09:19] |
| mircea_popescu: | you remember what i'm talking about, i'm sure. | [09:19] |
| diana_coman: | and all the "they stole my laptop" "they entered conference rooms and tried to steal a laptop" | [09:20] |
| diana_coman: | ah yes and fwiw it's anyway still live and well in Ro as well | [09:20] |
| mircea_popescu: | heh. | [09:20] |
| mircea_popescu: | trinque it's somewhat unlike, in that it's a very specific stupidity, alligned, coherent. SASER if you will. | [09:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | literally, there's some words in pre-glued structures that must be emitted with specified frequency or they get uncomfortable. | [09:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | like chickens going prrrrr prrrr in their coop at night. | [09:21] |
| trinque: | tribal chants eh? | [09:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | yep. | [09:21] |
| mircea_popescu: | anyway, working great for them, soberania & argentina no es un pais pobre ftw. meanwhile they ain't got two empanadas to rub together and uni profs are buying socks on credit. | [09:23] |
| diana_coman: | mircea_popescu> for as long as your antecessors accumulated fat lasts, you can pretend. after which, welcome to jobbagy, and complain to my asshole about "the unfairness of it all". <- well, fat of ancestors can only be eaten/spent, but not sustained without own muscle so basically it makes sense: they are searching for their own *real* level/position as downwards as that might be not as if they are aware of it or need be, bu | [09:25] |
| diana_coman: | t that's how it goes | [09:25] |
| mod6: | mornin' | [09:25] |
| diana_coman: | morning mod6 | [09:25] |
| mircea_popescu: | quite so. | [09:25] |
| mod6: | how's it goin diana_coman? | [09:25] |
| diana_coman: | quite well,thanks fighting the swamps of planeshit as usual these days | [09:26] |
| mircea_popescu: | ALSO a fine example of the whole "happy while in denial" | [09:26] |
| * diana_coman | will be really happy when those are finally drained | [09:26] |
| mod6: | yeah. it sounds awful. | [09:27] |
| diana_coman: | in denial of what? they are happy because they are on the road to where they need to be they don't know it/acknowledge it,so what difference does that make? | [09:27] |
| trinque: | I dunno that so much agency is involved, though. These are the descendents of empty creatures that used to be animated by the flow of will from their owners. | [09:27] |
| trinque: | well in the argie case, mixed with indigenous whatever, I guess. | [09:27] |
| mircea_popescu: | diana_coman evidently. | [09:28] |
| mircea_popescu: | trinque very much indigenous. see rosas, for instance. guy is EXACTLY a "bad tyrant" by the "our democracy" bestiary was ELECTED. with genuine majority. | [09:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | by a people who had their head screwed on right. | [09:29] |
| mircea_popescu: | only known similar example being soviet union. stalin - also elected. except rosas didn't actually behead his own lieutenants or all thje rest of the nonsense associated with stalinism. which is why they never fucking mention him. | [09:30] |
| trinque: | might be racis, but the more tribal types always end up 1) out-fucking and 2) opting for dr prince james ibonga | [09:30] |
| mircea_popescu: | im not sure there is such a thing as a tribal type. basically any group of hucows has some humans and some cows mixed in. what you call "tribal types" is where cows are biologically dominant. cultivate the population for a few generations, it's just as capable to northern italy 15cento as northern italy itself. which, if you decultivate for a few generations...etc. | [09:31] |
| mircea_popescu: | the interplay between biological (ie, headcount) and political (ie, powerspeech count) domination in the hucow herd is ~the whole of history, anthropology, sociology etc. | [09:32] |
| trinque: | aha, totally agree. was groping for same with "animated by will of superiors" | [09:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | aha. | [09:32] |
| mircea_popescu: | so it's rather nonsensical to say "blacks are dumb". if you spend a century killing the humans, you'll be left with mostly cows. | [09:33] |
| mircea_popescu: | kinda what the russians were trying to do to the polish, re katyn etc. | [09:33] |
| mircea_popescu: | smarter than zee germanz. | [09:33] |
| mircea_popescu: | anyway, there's a reason every army prefers the enemy kill its infantry than it's officers -- and it's also how war improves the population. | [09:34] |
| trinque: | a great aunt of mine, from oldschool italian family of some note, said to my mother "The air here is toxic to family." | [09:34] |
| trinque: | not speaking there of the anglo notion of fambly | [09:34] |
| mircea_popescu: | the only problem with such improvement is that the notion that "we shouldn't hafta die" becomes universal and then therefore... | [09:34] |
| trinque: | maybe why I give too much weight to the biological italians are racist as hell after all | [09:35] |
| trinque: | were anyway, no such thing as italians here now | [09:35] |
| mircea_popescu: | trinque aha! quite very much http://trilema.com/house-of-strangers | [09:35] |
| mircea_popescu: | show it to your grandmother, she might appreciate. | [09:35] |
| trinque: | dead | [09:35] |
| trinque: | the lady I'm speaking of grandfather would be the related one | [09:35] |
| mircea_popescu: | well, if you see her. | [09:36] |
| * trinque | will have to check out | [09:38] |
| asciilifeform: | trinque: biologically -- at least to naked eye -- ar folx are entirely european | [09:40] |
| trinque: | I recall the smell of tragedy around the italian side of family it was the gnarled vestige of something that would claim lineage back to old mancinus | [09:40] |
| asciilifeform: | at least in the capital | [09:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | ukrs, also. | [09:40] |
| asciilifeform: | aha | [09:40] |
| mircea_popescu: | fuck, the chinese are starting to look european from behind. | [09:41] |
| trinque: | successive compromises, gotta leave italy because lets not die in the street with mussolini, gotta leave new england because hierarchy is illegal, lets just wither here on this beach. | [09:41] |
| * mircea_popescu | suspects "looking european" is simply a placeholder for "looking like your entire fambly didn't starve since the day it was invented" | [09:41] |
| mircea_popescu: | trinque should have gone to mexico. hierarchy does fine. | [09:41] |
| trinque: | aha. didn't, and *entirely their fault* | [09:41] |
| mircea_popescu: | nfi why the italians went to the us and to argentina, the socialist shitholes at the two ends of the continent. | [09:42] |
| trinque: | I cannot believe the fucking squander | [09:42] |
| asciilifeform: | btw why mircea_popescu not in mexico ? | [09:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform i am a being of ~pure energy, my presence is chiefly nonphysical! | [09:42] |
| mircea_popescu: | i like the weather here, what. | [09:42] |
| asciilifeform: | lolk | [09:43] |
| mircea_popescu: | +ticas tetonas. wtf, mexicans. i can buy saddlebags at the store. | [09:43] |
| trinque: | asciilifeform: if considered earnestly I have to blame the clown-suit socialism and decadent descendents | [09:45] |
| trinque: | though if danielpbarron's version caught on I'd much prefer that to teh alternatives | [09:46] |
| trinque: | unbelievable rot flows out of this place "lakeway church" nearby, literally "give us your money and god will... like... manifest you some more" | [09:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | tbh, cca 1880 it'd have been rather hard to predict us will simply check out, let the dumbest of the dumb handle affairs for a century. | [09:47] |
| trinque: | path runs straight through all those idiot christian revivals | [09:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | the unholy alliance of neoprotestant old men + bored housewives. horrible. | [09:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | trinque quite so. the men permitted the women to betray the house of their master for "the house of the lord". | [09:47] |
| mircea_popescu: | beyond fucking scandalous. should have whipped them face to face. | [09:48] |
| trinque: | indeed, the way these women speak of Teh Lord is fraught with perverse sexuality. modern male cuck is her beloved son. | [09:49] |
| mircea_popescu: | quite. | [09:49] |
| mircea_popescu: | fucking mary complex. | [09:49] |
| mircea_popescu: | i suppose the retrospective correct analysis is, 1. you get a bunch of elite people get together (everyone who made the trip was elite -- else they couldn't afford the significant proceedings this includes the slaves, for the same reason -- if they weren't 10s nobody'd have taken them across and that's what in africa cca then it meant to be elite) 2. they have no way to communicate, for lack of language (because language | [09:54] |
| mircea_popescu: | is very much http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-21#1587276 ). consequently a situation of "whoever forges common language first wins" and so therefore 4. idiotic derpage "bible" crap won BECAUSE it was the ~only common ground. | [09:54] |
| a111: | Logged on 2016-12-21 18:32 mircea_popescu: because no, words don't "have meanings". your meanings for ANY WORD are a function of ALL THE OTHER WORDS YOU KNOW. which is why my definitions regularily blow out english dictionaries, wikipedia and other sources of "wisdom" out of the water - i know more words, and in this knowledge i know all the words i know ~better~. infinitely and irreproducibly so. | [09:54] |
| mircea_popescu: | if this does not prove bible is a poisonous, anti-human text which one follows to his perdition, nothing does. | [09:55] |
| asciilifeform: | the plantators were , by all indications, aware of this | [09:56] |
| mircea_popescu: | obviously the elite christian response would be to point out that the basis of unholy communion was in no sense the holy writ, but merely what every language recalled of it, which is to say they distilled all the holy out of the writ. | [09:56] |
| mircea_popescu: | perhaps. nevertheless... unreliable item. (which is exactly catholic doctrine : "follow bible without priest, you'll go straight to hell in handbasked". it sounds absurd but then again it's lived history.) | [09:57] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform mebbe. | [09:57] |
| mircea_popescu: | but just as whiskey was indian's bible, so was bible imigrants' whiskey. | [09:57] |
| trinque: | I take in danielpbarron's, when he speaks of it, that it is a knotted rope with which he beats himself. the other folks babbling about it, it's a damned gold star of "I am god's child" | [09:57] |
| mircea_popescu: | actual alcohol couldn't have gotten them, caucasians are used to it. | [09:57] |
| trinque: | former's sort of an odd "I will wear weighted clothing and thus be stronger"... the "forgiveness of sin" thing I suppose lets one take the weights off time to time. | [09:58] |
| trinque: | I can also see the wisdom in seeing oneself as by nature, a lying sack of shit, requiring discipline to forge a human from the clay. | [09:59] |

| asciilifeform: | 0 things to tangle inside tank. | [23:14] |
| asciilifeform: | the neatest imho aspect is that it works IN REVERSE also | [23:14] |
| asciilifeform: | can abort a flush. | [23:14] |
| mircea_popescu: | lol abortive flushing | [23:14] |
| asciilifeform: | (go and PUSH a chain, lol) | [23:14] |
| ben_vulpes: | this is the "400 cr"? | [23:14] |
| asciilifeform: | i have nfi who makes these where ben_vulpes lives | [23:14] |
| asciilifeform: | i have a generic chinese one | [23:14] |
| ben_vulpes: | i'm just paging through bezosmart | [23:15] |
| asciilifeform: | ben_vulpes: nope, that looks like a chain valve | [23:16] |
| asciilifeform: | ben_vulpes: Danco HYR271T looks sorta like what i've here | [23:17] |
| asciilifeform: | ( though mine has not so many parts ) | [23:17] |
| asciilifeform: | ok, found mine, it's the FLT231T | [23:18] |
| asciilifeform: | ben_vulpes ^ | [23:18] |
| asciilifeform: | be sure to lather the rubber throat with heavy plumber's grease when you put the thing in, or it'll eventually leak. | [23:19] |
| asciilifeform: | ( it has this flexible throat thing so as to fit every possible tank arse ) | [23:20] |
| ben_vulpes: | whoa christ | [23:20] |
| ben_vulpes: | i feel like mircea_popescu with the washing machine | [23:20] |
| mircea_popescu: | lol | [23:21] |
| ben_vulpes: | "finally! a sane design!" | [23:21] |
| asciilifeform: | oh and : bring a hacksaw, often ancient flush lever has the nut rusted solid, you will not be able to turn it out, gotta slice through the 'antikythera' | [23:21] |
| ben_vulpes: | ah yes | [23:21] |
| ben_vulpes: | although i have like three cans of the mighty blaster to get through | [23:21] |
| ben_vulpes: | ty asciilifeform | [23:22] |
| asciilifeform: | be aware, you ~will~ have to calibrate the float. | [23:22] |
| asciilifeform: | or you will get the dreaded double-gurgle | [23:22] |
| asciilifeform: | 'tis indeed the 'gentoo of toilet valve'. | [23:22] |
| ben_vulpes: | "but once it boots...!" | [23:22] |
| asciilifeform: | aaaha. | [23:22] |
| asciilifeform: | ben_vulpes: what, incidentally, is 'the mighty blaster' ? | [23:23] |
| ben_vulpes: | the mighty penetrating blaster | [23:25] |
| ben_vulpes: | from blaster corp | [23:25] |
| ben_vulpes: | wd9000 | [23:25] |
| ben_vulpes: | "P'Blaster" | [23:25] |
| ben_vulpes: | as in "child, the might blaster is for lubricating and unfreezing bolts, not eating" | [23:26] |
| asciilifeform: | dunno, my tank's lever nut was a veritable antikythera, wholly solid ball of rust. | [23:26] |
| ben_vulpes: | never hurts to apply blaster before hacksaw | [23:26] |
| asciilifeform: | incidentally, wtf is the reason why a ~public~ shitter even has a tank & ballcock | [23:27] |
| asciilifeform: | oughta have city pressure flush | [23:27] |
| asciilifeform: | ben_vulpes ought complain to obummer. | [23:27] |
| ben_vulpes: | tis not public | [23:28] |
| asciilifeform: | hm i assumed it was, given the stories | [23:28] |
| ben_vulpes: | quite nearly, but no | [23:28] |
| ben_vulpes: | the orifice is on a floor that once housed train station and train company employees | [23:29] |
| ben_vulpes: | and insofar as the restrooms have keys, they are not public | [23:30] |
| * asciilifeform | finds the history of the shitter a fascinating thing, in that it followed in same pattern as, e.g., small arms -- i.e. went through a peak of RIDICULOUS complexity before finally simplified into modern form. | [23:31] |
| ben_vulpes: | in other hilarities that archive.is doesn't do an entirely perfect job of archiving: http://archive.is/hPlfc | [23:31] |
| ben_vulpes: | (Alternatives To [sic]) White-Owned Appropriative Restaurants in Portland | [23:31] |
| asciilifeform: | consider the -- quite malodorous -- 'pan closet', for instance. >> https://archive.is/VstFy << mechanical, moving parts, touched -- and slowly accumulated -- shit | [23:31] |
| ben_vulpes: | i admired the nips' commitment to the handsfree experience when i visited | [23:32] |
| asciilifeform: | or in the other column, the maxim gun, dozens of small parts, like sewing machine | [23:32] |
| asciilifeform: | or in the third column, the comp, still in its maxim/luger/pancloset phase. | [23:32] |
| asciilifeform: | http://lowres-picturecabinet.com.s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/43/main/3/81842.jpg << this is a 'bramah' shitter. | [23:33] |
| asciilifeform: | ( 1700s ! but doesn't it look quite 'steampunk'... ) | [23:33] |
| asciilifeform: | the key insight, to use water as the SOLE moving part inside the shit-contacting subunit of the device, took ~200y from the first 'water closets' of modern europe... | [23:34] |
| asciilifeform: | see also 'plumbing practice', j. w. clarke, 1888 | [23:36] |
