lobbes: | http://trilema.com/forum-logs-for-24-oct-2017#2353585 << in my experience with guitar, frequency is more important for muscle memory building (and general finger strength building). I've found that even 5 minutes per day tends to be more effective than, say, a single 2 hour session per week | [01:14] |
a111: | Logged on 2017-10-24 21:29 ben_vulpes: one month on guitar, one on ru is sorta my pattern there | [01:14] |
lobbes: | "You learn while you sleep" or something along those lines. Maybe "you compile while you sleep" is more apt | [01:16] |
lobbes: | BingoBoingo aha. Deval the former choco-gubner of taxachusetts. Fits the bill, I can see it | [01:25] |
davout: | there's this, and also the necessity of learning new things, very often people get stuck playing the same things, which mostly reinforces defects, instead of seeking new and different stuff to work on for a bit | [01:36] |

davout: | language mixing is a thing for me too, i sounded like an absolute retard trying to speak dutch after one year of full-time english | [01:39] |
BingoBoingo: | Ah, well it doesn't help Spanish's cause that Portugues consonants are much easier for my lazy middle western tongue | [01:44] |
lobbes: | <davout> there's this, and also the necessity of learning new things, very often people get stuck playing the same things, which mostly reinforces defects, instead of seeking new and different stuff to work on for a bit << this makes sense. Explains why I notice my improvising getting 'stale' after a few consecutive days of practicing only to be 'revitalized' after a break. Almost helps to clear that mental buffer of 'go-to musical phrases' | [02:17] |
lobbes: | every so often | [02:17] |
mircea_popescu: | lobbes daily is the key of human activity. if you're not doing something daily, you can't properly say you're doing it. | [02:48] |
mircea_popescu: | whatever it may be, working out to be a boxer, reading poetry, picking your nose. daily or getout. | [02:49] |
BingoBoingo: | Which is why "We diditReddits" are "dreamers" | [02:50] |
mircea_popescu: | eh, those poor schmucks... | [02:50] |

jessie_: | i made that statement because yesterday night i had a nightmare were i was basically kidnapped | [12:24] |
asciilifeform: | you need better nightmares, jessie_ | [12:25] |
asciilifeform: | i was hanging out with kim III in bestkorea in mine | [12:25] |
asciilifeform: | in usa. | [12:25] |
jessie_: | and then when the sadic russian picked the chainsaw to cut my dick in a very gory way i woke up | [12:26] |
mircea_popescu: | jessie_ the obvious approach is to see if playing bottom isn't very satisfying. as orson scott card well points out, the only way to survive temptation is to yield to it. | [12:26] |
mircea_popescu: | check out the local gay bar and see what comes of it. | [12:26] |
jessie_: | my thought was: if i give out the bitcoins, they are lost for god and then, in the middle of nowhere, the kidnapper could do some sadic game to get full satisfaction | [12:29] |
mircea_popescu: | nevermind that. dreams are psychanalitically meaningful, not directly interpretable. | [12:29] |
mircea_popescu: | fun fact : vast majority of girlies mp has enslaved to date enjoyed kidnapping-and-rape dreams during pubescence. | [12:30] |
mircea_popescu: | this because... hurr durr, a vast majority of all females do. | [12:30] |
jessie_: | if i do NOT hand out the privkeys, well, i will sacrifice my dick, suicide a couple of days after, but also being acclamated as the "moar deflation guy" on reddit and gain a lot of karma points | [12:31] |
mircea_popescu: | castration-and-rape is probably just nature's way of suggesting you try the female lobe of sexuality on for size. | [12:31] |
jessie_: | how much a girlie earn for beign enslaved? | [12:34] |
mircea_popescu: | they become wiser. | [12:34] |
jessie_: | a win win situation | [12:35] |
mircea_popescu: | quite. | [12:35] |
asciilifeform: | i get woodchipper dreams, what's that mean | [12:38] |
asciilifeform: | that time to use woodchipper lobe ? | [12:38] |
mircea_popescu: | eh, you're still anally fixated, no sex for you yet. probably should declutter your workplace. | [12:39] |
jessie_: | http://swordandscale.com/the-sadistic-halloween-slaying-of-shirley-lynette-ledford/ | [12:39] |
asciilifeform: | lol my current workspace is one of those spiffy hotel lappy chairs | [12:39] |
mircea_popescu: | ah, you dreamed this recently ? | [12:40] |
jessie_: | this has nothing to do with my nightmare, but actually i have made the kidnapping nightmare exactly after reading this | [12:40] |
mircea_popescu: | jessie_ are you done with teh attention whoring and ready to actually do something useful, or rather are you done with the attention whoring and ready to move on ? | [12:40] |
jessie_: | i'm ready to move on | [12:41] |
mircea_popescu: | cya. | [12:41] |
asciilifeform: | hey mircea_popescu , what did that massive abandoned factory by the river, make ? | [12:46] |
mircea_popescu: | all factories were by a river. which one ? | [12:47] |

asciilifeform: | lolly | [12:56] |
asciilifeform: | it dun have a name, how else to point to it. | [12:56] |
mircea_popescu: | i believe that was housing not factory. | [12:57] |
asciilifeform: | it was screamingly a factory | [12:57] |
asciilifeform: | and next to it, across the river, another. | [12:57] |
asciilifeform: | traditional window panes, suggestive furniture visible through the massive holes in the wall ( didja use'em for bazooka practice or wat ), etc | [12:58] |
mircea_popescu: | ah ah i see. yeah. | [12:58] |
mircea_popescu: | iirc the one across was originally a mill eventually grain storage and this one textile something. | [12:58] |
asciilifeform: | hm for some reason i immediately pictured 'ro kalash maker' | [12:58] |
mircea_popescu: | nah. ro kalash maker is at cugir. | [12:59] |
asciilifeform: | oh and nao that i think about it, still in business last i saw. | [12:59] |
asciilifeform: | so can't be it. | [12:59] |
mircea_popescu: | oh btw, did you see the medieval afore-the-walls inn yet ? | [12:59] |
asciilifeform: | i saw the turkish turret turned meat processing plant | [12:59] |
asciilifeform: | is that it ? | [12:59] |
asciilifeform: | ( next to it btw was a cat bordello, pet enjoyed ) | [12:59] |
mircea_popescu: | nah. there's a large square building dominating what's know the "fabric" neighbourhood. | [12:59] |
mircea_popescu: | it was one of the largest of its kind, and very emblematic for the period too | [13:00] |
asciilifeform: | maybe not seen yet | [13:00] |
mircea_popescu: | (medieval gates were a big deal, much like today's airports. most people had to sleep somewhere) | [13:00] |
asciilifeform: | i did see massive, astonishingly victorian abandoned water tower thing | [13:00] |
asciilifeform: | ( with windows... ) | [13:00] |
asciilifeform: | i can't quite fathom wai so much abandoned real estate | [13:00] |
asciilifeform: | why nobody bought ? | [13:01] |
mircea_popescu: | the item has what was clearly an open hall on the ground floor, then drinking rooms above, then actual rooms for sleeping above-er, decorations on the roof (to be seen from distance by travellers) and everything | [13:01] |
asciilifeform: | can haz coords ? | [13:01] |
mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform it's not worth anything. timisoara is dead as a going concern, a local detroit. | [13:01] |
asciilifeform: | i'd buy !! | [13:01] |
mircea_popescu: | so go, buy. | [13:01] |
asciilifeform: | they're selling ?! | [13:01] |
asciilifeform: | or are they argentinian-selling. | [13:01] |
asciilifeform: | i'd buy in toyota truck price range. | [13:02] |
asciilifeform: | ( also dun you gotta be a member of europistan to buy ? or is this a n00b notion ) | [13:03] |
mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform just have someone take you down "bulevardul 3 august 1919". you will come to a plaza where the tramlines split. facing it, on your right is this block-sized building. the plaza has some items of interest also. | [13:04] |
asciilifeform: | also what's the brasspoleinbangkok-factor of this place ? ( i.e. say i buy something, will it be full of gypos when i get back to fill it up ? ) | [13:04] |
mircea_popescu: | yup. | [13:05] |
asciilifeform: | what does gypo-removal go for ? | [13:05] |
mircea_popescu: | you don't buy without artillery in the vicinty. | [13:05] |
mircea_popescu: | it can't be had. why the fuck do you think it's dead as a going concern ? | [13:05] |
mircea_popescu: | "people rights" === zero land value. | [13:06] |
asciilifeform: | dunno, i see city full of happy folx in near-sparta-grade physical shape, 0 vermin, fine phood, parks open all night, etc | [13:06] |
mircea_popescu: | your determinations are very poor quality. | [13:06] |
asciilifeform: | not a detroit, unless in some subtle moral sense | [13:06] |
mircea_popescu: | there's plenty of vermin. | [13:07] |
mircea_popescu: | whether romanians are happy is an open matter. gypsyes are notoriously happy, for what that's worth. | [13:07] |
asciilifeform: | i mean bipedal vermin | [13:07] |
asciilifeform: | they're not detectable here | [13:07] |
mircea_popescu: | point is, they're useless, which is what we're discussing when capital goods are to be bought. | [13:07] |

asciilifeform: | there's a doctor to set broken arm, an undertaker to put me in the earth, etc. | [13:08] |

asciilifeform: | what does a white d00d have to do to get europistan passport anyway | [13:09] |
asciilifeform: | full megabenjie ? half ? or wat was it | [13:09] |
mircea_popescu: | i'd be surprised if that much. | [13:10] |
BingoBoingo: | <asciilifeform> they're not detectable here << It's just the US conditions you to more overt visual indicators | [13:10] |
mircea_popescu: | heck, marry some local, you're good. | [13:10] |
asciilifeform: | other than this | [13:10] |
mircea_popescu: | even if you impregnate her out of sheer perversity the result won't cost 100k. | [13:10] |
mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform were you looking for cheap or weren't you ? | [13:11] |
BingoBoingo: | <asciilifeform> full megabenjie ? half ? or wat was it << 100 kiloEuro and 10 jobs | [13:11] |
asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: 10 jerbs with 'people with rights' prolly > 100k | [13:11] |
mircea_popescu: | cheap is marry local, fuck her until pregnant, divorce her a year later, pay court ordered 600 lei/mo or w/e until you forget. | [13:11] |
BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: And there's the scam | [13:12] |
asciilifeform: | mircea_popescu: it ain't cheap if it requires physical wurk | [13:12] |
mircea_popescu: | i don't right off recall what the rules for the lazy were. get local lawyer ask him | [13:13] |
asciilifeform: | i can already picture it, suppose mircea_popescu ran an auto dealership, someone walks in asks for cheapest engined wheelbarrow , mircea_popescu answers 'over there, is a mine, spend 60 yrs there, you will have enough salt to trade for some iron blanks, and then....' | [13:14] |
mircea_popescu: | hey. | [13:14] |
mircea_popescu: | the "legal" approach will take longer and require more work, you're just new in this world and don't understand how the state works yet. | [13:14] |
mircea_popescu: | but as a general rule of thumb, whenever a fiat govt is involved, sensible isn't. | [13:15] |
asciilifeform: | 'Видишь, там на горе / Возвышается крест: / Под ним - десяток солдат, / Повиси-ка на не - ем... / А когда надоест, / Возвращайся назад / Гулять по воде со мно - ой...' | [13:15] |
mircea_popescu: | as BingoBoingo well points out, THAT IS THE SCAM. | [13:16] |
asciilifeform: | i did the passport thing in usa and know 'how state worx' | [13:18] |
BingoBoingo: | At least Brazil has "platinum" plan where 500,000 Reals ~150-200kilodollars gets visa without hires on assumtion you're gonna be spending | [13:18] |
BingoBoingo: | Anyways the big difference in how fiat authorities self present is whether they call themselves competent authorities or reasonable authorities | [13:19] |
BingoBoingo: | Everythig beyond that is details and rapelust | [13:22] |
alex__c: | checked out of curiosity.. for a Romanian passport you need Ro citizenship.. and in turn, you can get citizenship after 8 years of having lived here | [13:22] |
alex__c: | + some other assorted requirements | [13:22] |
asciilifeform: | wouldn't they throw ya out some time before 8yrs | [13:22] |
asciilifeform: | like they used to mexicans in usa | [13:23] |
BingoBoingo: | ^ The other catch | [13:23] |
asciilifeform: | 1 traffic stop, yer done ? | [13:23] |
alex__c: | or, it's 4 years if you 'invest' in Romania at least 1`000`000 euro lol | [13:23] |
BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: Just apply for political asylum | [13:23] |
asciilifeform: | lol | [13:23] |

alex__c: | can't find any further explanation on what investing means, and how to prove it | [13:25] |
mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform from experience, no. i had girls overstay their tourist visa by years. | [13:26] |
mircea_popescu: | the whole system is constructed to catch the poor. if your girls dun need to work, dun need to apply for anything to any govt office, they can stay forever. | [13:26] |

mircea_popescu: | yes well. | [13:28] |
mircea_popescu: | as a general rule you don't want personal property registered with the fiatistans. | [13:29] |
asciilifeform: | they dun have obummer and his army of pet mexican illegals here, you prolly gotta show passport to get mains current etc | [13:29] |
mircea_popescu: | personal property is for bitcoins, women, actually valuable things. | [13:29] |
mircea_popescu: | warehouses and crap, own through juridical persons. | [13:29] |

BingoBoingo: | mircea_popescu: Fine, chain smoking motorcycling girl lawyer with clearly near expiration date that takes you to passport time. | [13:32] |
mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform well, if you're not staying a full year, you don't need any of this if you are, that's plenty of time to marry-and-divorce. | [13:33] |
BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: Sure, why not. Passports don't expire for 10 years. Not like there's seekrit transnational marriage police if you aren't Catholic. | [13:33] |

alex__c: | at any rate, rent price in Timisoara has been going up in the past 1-2 years | [13:37] |
BingoBoingo: | What mircea_popescu has a visual fixation to make up for color blindness? asciilifeform has anal fixation because has to poop in shitty toilets sans gold | [13:37] |
asciilifeform: | one thing i haven't found yet, is the gallows where they must be hanging the corn syrop peddlers. because it is absent here 100% , i can taste, smell its absense, and it is orgasmic. | [13:37] |
mircea_popescu: | anyway, evidently we diverge in how we evaluate biosacks. but that's fine, timisoara could really use some foreign cash inflows as it is. | [13:37] |
mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform they use ukrainian beet sugar instead. | [13:38] |

BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: This is what lawyers are for. | [13:57] |
mircea_popescu: | of course they do this to the locals it's just that the locals aren't interesting by default, by virtue of being orc monkeys worth $400 with clothes on. | [13:57] |

mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform the reason is those folks don't have anything anyone wants. | [14:09] |
mircea_popescu: | i agree with you the anyone has serious problems understanding food, architecture, etcetera. but that's about as far as it goes. | [14:09] |

asciilifeform: | the animals had more square metrage than asciilifeform has at home | [14:40] |
asciilifeform: | i shit thee not | [14:40] |
asciilifeform: | and it was in the middle of woods | [14:40] |
mircea_popescu: | of course ? mouse has self respect. | [14:40] |
asciilifeform: | and next to interesting 'executed by communist' tomb thing | [14:40] |
asciilifeform: | there were old d00dz there, playing cards | [14:40] |
asciilifeform: | and some old crone crying on the bench | [14:40] |
asciilifeform: | prolly wife of one of them rebels nailed in '49 engraved on the plinths or somesuch | [14:41] |
mircea_popescu: | hey, they were still nailing rebels in the 60s. | [14:41] |
asciilifeform: | there were also randomly chickens and goats loose in the zoo. | [14:41] |
asciilifeform: | and hares. | [14:42] |
asciilifeform: | the guinea pig was absent, already went to the table i imagine | [14:42] |
mircea_popescu: | sounds pretty good. | [14:42] |
asciilifeform: | the best thing was, as elsewhere, the clean air and absence of screaming idiots and their spawn ( visit washington's zoo ) | [14:45] |
asciilifeform: | no cocacola, no p.t.barnum and his horrors, none of it, just the tall trees . | [14:45] |
asciilifeform: | and a few beasts. | [14:45] |
asciilifeform: | asciilifeform frequented a zoo like this as a kid. | [14:45] |

mircea_popescu: | um. | [14:47] |
mircea_popescu: | yes. | [14:47] |
mircea_popescu: | o damn | [14:47] |
mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform your point of interest is around 45.8044717 / 21.2666934. << restated. | [14:48] |
asciilifeform: | lol | [14:48] |
asciilifeform: | ok THAT looks moar like it. | [14:48] |
mircea_popescu: | if it dun rain, can go for picnic, make day of it. | [14:49] |
asciilifeform: | i'ma stick a pin at those coords and actually do it, when i have the coveted pad here. | [14:50] |
mircea_popescu: | conceivably it'll survive a decade or two. | [14:50] |
diana_coman: | asciilifeform, if you don't mind me asking: where else in Europe have you been for longer than few days? | [14:51] |
diana_coman: | fwiw raw milk can be had even in the uk and no, it's not terribly expensive/commando mission sort of thing still, I wouldn't list that as some proof of sanity or anything | [14:53] |
asciilifeform: | diana_coman: odessa, su | [14:53] |
asciilifeform: | diana_coman: 950km east of here | [14:53] |
asciilifeform: | and no i have no remaining desire to go to wahabistan. | [14:54] |
asciilifeform: | ( fr, uk, it, et al ) | [14:54] |
diana_coman: | eh, so hungary, poland, what | [14:55] |
asciilifeform: | hungary is wahabifying | [14:55] |
asciilifeform: | as we speak | [14:55] |
asciilifeform: | poland is ethnic enemy and roundabout shithole | [14:55] |
diana_coman: | plenty what I was trying to figure out was why do those specific things seem so extraordinary to you as they are not (yet perhaps) extraordinary around Europe I'd say | [14:55] |
asciilifeform: | they aren't extraordinary, diana_coman , i lived first 9y of life with'em | [14:56] |
mircea_popescu: | alf's mental process is always fascinating. | [14:56] |
mircea_popescu: | whose the fuck are poles ethnic enemies of ?!?! | [14:56] |
mircea_popescu: | polacca is to this day how you say whore if you're an italian whore who is scared of work and all those who are competent at what they do. which simple means italian. | [14:57] |
asciilifeform: | lol! | [14:57] |
asciilifeform: | i had nfi | [14:57] |
mircea_popescu: | anyway. the principal protector of sane alimentation in europe is not the ro orthodox church, but the "Corrupt" and "lazy" french farming lobby. | [14:57] |
mircea_popescu: | which, from what i've seen, has little hope of survival past the demise of the few old hardasses pushing it like it were their tmsr. | [14:58] |
asciilifeform: | yeah yeah eventually the serpent will eat the roots of yggdrasil and all will burn in fire of ragnarok sure. | [14:58] |
asciilifeform: | i believe, fwiw. | [14:58] |
asciilifeform: | but today -- not yet. | [14:58] |
mircea_popescu: | well, narrower than that : london no longer wishes to be taxed the eu will survive as a bureaucracy, sure, but what else. | [14:59] |
asciilifeform: | as agrarian latifundia, as it belongs ? | [14:59] |
mircea_popescu: | who's gonna pay so that the lake of wine can continue. | [14:59] |
mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform here's a fact : no one works the field without a whip. | [14:59] |
asciilifeform: | whip grows as naturally as the sprouts. | [14:59] |
mircea_popescu: | they can be happy doing it, sure. they WILL NOT do it of own accord. | [14:59] |
mircea_popescu: | this is doubtful. the us prohibition / post ww2 eu/jp have shown us the sad truth that manhood is not in fact an inexhaustible, natural supply. | [15:00] |
asciilifeform: | usa is pile of dead horses, long decayed to bone, covered pile of rusty tractors, long fused solid and brown. i point to healthy stallion, mircea_popescu reminds 'it, too, will die, turn to dust'. yes, it will. | [15:00] |
mircea_popescu: | in the contrary, very exhaustible and not in any sense natural. | [15:00] |
asciilifeform: | if it can come back, it will come back here. and not in estrogenized syropistan. | [15:01] |
asciilifeform: | and if it cannot come back -- bring on the asteroid. | [15:01] |
mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform well, the meta-discussin is more about "i want to move there", cognate of "this has a permanent future" | [15:01] |
asciilifeform: | there are no permanent futures. | [15:01] |
mircea_popescu: | hm. | [15:01] |
asciilifeform: | i for one didn't ship from factory with a sticker guaranteeing permanence. | [15:02] |
asciilifeform: | i'm looking for 20-30 yrs of clean air and cheap roquefort, modest. | [15:02] |
mircea_popescu: | not guaranteedly permanent future but "know no reason proving its impermanence" permanent. | [15:02] |
mircea_popescu: | you know, like "healthy". healthy is nothing but "no known deadly disease" | [15:02] |

mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform 2-3 decades seem quite likely, indeed. | [15:03] |
asciilifeform: | so there we go. asciilifeform is not immortal god, does not have mircea_popescu's engineering constraints!11 | [15:03] |

BingoBoingo: | But Husqvarna has some nice torquey 3-cylinder diesel mini-tractors | [17:59] |
BingoBoingo: | Or does shop have a more "classic" Husqvarna product line? | [17:59] |

asciilifeform: | 'find some meat' (tm)(r) 'doom' | [18:00] |
asciilifeform: | speaking of ethnic suicides, these folx, apparently , aint having one, they're walking with strollers, playgrounds full of chillunz, typical face on street is not older than asciilifeform , etc | [18:02] |
BingoBoingo: | Ah, the japs over at Echo seem to be doing that better. More aftermarket exhaust availability to rice it up. | [18:02] |
asciilifeform: | this strictly naked eye survey. | [18:02] |
BingoBoingo: | When selecting a chainsaw for home defense, exhaust noise is everything. | [18:02] |

asciilifeform: | take a co detector into yer car sometime | [18:19] |
asciilifeform: | ( spoiler : it will never shuddup . which is why car dun come with co detector. and prolly explains something re usa via chronic anoxia ) | [18:20] |
BingoBoingo: | Eh, CO clear system in conscious active person within 8-12 hours. Buy a carton of cigarettes and verify for self. | [18:36] |
BingoBoingo: | Chronic anoxia more likely related to smoking and being too fat to breathe among USistanis | [18:37] |
asciilifeform: | other phunphaktz : here ~everyone smokes and entirely, fully nobody, is fat. | [18:38] |
BingoBoingo: | Well, smoking and fat aren't very correlated. Food want usually only signaled through 5HT, Nicotine want signaled by lighting ACH receptors on fire. | [18:39] |
BingoBoingo: | In US smoking is one of those things like gainful employment that tends to cap how fat. | [18:40] |
asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: i dun just mean 'no scooties', but literally sparta grade, not a gram of excess mass on'em | [18:44] |
asciilifeform: | like there isn't on a greyhound or a wild fox | [18:44] |
BingoBoingo: | Well, pedestrian society. You know who also tends not have excess mass like a greyhound? Addicts | [18:44] |
asciilifeform: | none of these, at least not where naked eye can see'em. though i finally saw a bum. 1. | [18:45] |
BingoBoingo: | Well, you aren't operating on their schedule | [18:47] |
