00:18 a111 Logged on 2019-01-22 07:34 mircea_popescu: the problem is, cartels not particularly impressed with usg these days. all was needed to keep assad in power was russia, but a colombia-venezuela-mexico wondertriangle is a lot easier defended.
00:18 a111 Logged on 2019-01-29 03:04 BingoBoingo: The latest noise is stroked out John Bolton doing a press conference while holding a notepad with 5000 troops to Colombia written on it. https://archive.is/TYi6x
00:29 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-28#1890447 << rather a meaningless move, venezuela confiscated degrees of magnitude more in "foreign investment" etc.
00:29 a111 Logged on 2019-01-28 17:47 BingoBoingo: Airstrip One probably made some smooth pitch about how doing so was the only demonstration they would accept if Vzla wanted access to their fx markets. But... unlike republican spain was not in the gold extraction business... empire running away and all that, Vzla is.
00:30 mircea_popescu problem is, you can only shoot hostage once.

01:56 mircea_popescu there's certainly no better reason to read whatever http://trilema.com/2017/i-think-they-might-be-overdoing-it-in-places/#selection-35.0-35.52 esltards on the topic. exactly like that ro kid, they've got nothing to say an' no particular skill in sayin' it.
02:00 mircea_popescu point in case : Maryhen Jimenez Morales ("is a PhD candidate in politics at University of Oxford.") : " the system of personalised power and governance which the country has experienced for decades did not begin with Hugo Chavez ; The charismatic aristocrat Simon Bolivar ; He was a man in search of glory and a military officer who believed in top-down decision-making. ; The caudillo rule did not disappear with Bolivar's death
02:00 mircea_popescu . His successors, including Jose Antonio Paez, Antonio Guzman Blanco, or Juan Vincente Gomez followed in his footsteps towards personalised power. ; they were more preoccupied with personal aggrandisement than building strong institutions in the the nascent Venezuelan state. ; Personalised power, elitism and authoritarianism continued to dominate the Venezuelan political arena ; His only focus should be on building alliances
02:00 mircea_popescu and public consensus around the idea of restoring broad-based institutional democracy in Venezuela." bla bla bla bla bla in that inept vein untill she falls over.
02:00 mircea_popescu in other words, it's perfectly fucking clear ~what exactly~ the talking cunthead dun like about venezuela, and the world in general.

12:19 asciilifeform guten tag , mircea_popescu
12:19 mircea_popescu hola!
12:19 mircea_popescu so apparently took >1k pics on latest harem outing. wtf am i gonna do ;/
12:20 asciilifeform animatedgif!111
12:20 asciilifeform ( shrink'em to 64x64 pixels and... )
12:20 mircea_popescu bahahaha what is this, brasil ?
12:21 asciilifeform lol
12:23 asciilifeform mircea_popescu et al : anybody have a handy piece of bash to count ~nonempty~ lines in a dir ?
12:24 mircea_popescu in all files in a dir you mean ?
12:24 asciilifeform aha, recurse
12:24 mircea_popescu find . -name '*.php' | xargs wc -l or w/e it is you want
12:24 asciilifeform that dundoit
12:25 asciilifeform it counts empties
12:25 mircea_popescu empty line is what, nothing but 0x04 on it ?
12:25 asciilifeform 0a yea
12:26 mod6 I think something like `grep -v "^$"` will give you all the non-empty lines from a file.
12:27 mod6 Just combine that with your find/xargs and you should have it.
12:27 asciilifeform nope
12:27 asciilifeform gives entire file.
12:27 mod6 aight.
12:28 asciilifeform grep -P '\S' file apparently does tho.
12:30 asciilifeform cat * | grep -P '\S' | wc -l in ea. dir does the job.
12:30 asciilifeform this gives 4013 (libffa) , 1047 (ffacalc) .
12:30 asciilifeform approx. what i estimated.
12:34 asciilifeform comments ( grep -P '^\s*--' ) turn out to be 1835 ln in libffa and 390 in ffacalc.
12:35 asciilifeform ada does not permit multiline comments a la cpp, so this was easier than expected.
12:37 BingoBoingo So 4013 lines of which 1835 are comments and 1047 of which 390 are comments?
12:37 asciilifeform correct
12:37 BingoBoingo tyvm
12:39 asciilifeform total mass of the sores, to complete the thread, stands at 256kB.

12:48 BingoBoingo Until mp handles his camera roll, this is looking like the second place contender http://p.bvulpes.com/pastes/BDawt/?raw=true
12:49 asciilifeform what was this ?
12:50 BingoBoingo Drama at Duke med school, email sent to students by some apparachick
12:52 BingoBoingo Apparently they want the Chicoms accomodate the white worm desire for an English Single Language bubble
12:52 asciilifeform at asciilifeform's local uni, even decade ago engineering, maffs, etc. were ~solid china ( + a bit of india ). these days even moar solid -- evidently they didn't get the memo yet, that miami is full
12:54 BingoBoingo Do the Chinese and Indians even want Miami? I suspect they have their own favored cities for capture.
12:54 asciilifeform the greater miami.
12:55 asciilifeform y'know, that thing they think they're going to when they buy ticket.
12:55 BingoBoingo aha
12:57 BingoBoingo For a sample of the local memes https://i.redd.it/sy0ltggru9d21.jpg The larger pink area in the overlay is "Departamento 21 de Uruguay"
12:59 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: elaborate ?
13:00 BingoBoingo asciilifeform: Given Argentina's long sink into irrelevancy, the locals tend to think of Argentina as a diseased extension of Uruguay.
13:02 asciilifeform aa lol
13:04 BingoBoingo A lot of the current Uruguayo malaise is being blamed on Mujica/RaulSendic/Kircher/Macri Kirchner and Macri can flip places, but that's roughly the order of blame assignment
13:13 BingoBoingo Though this week the big fount of discontent is the heatwave and blue freshwater of Montevideo's beaches.
13:14 BingoBoingo (To be clear the blue problem is Cyanobacteria)
13:15 BingoBoingo My chunk of the Rio de la Plata has a problem which is the bane of retention ponds and small creeks back in old country
13:16 asciilifeform re argintines, somehow i entirely escaped finding out about 'villa-31' ( http://ru-ar.ru/villa31 notbad www re subj ) , rio-style favela right inside b-a
13:27 * BingoBoingo was under the impression most cities containing over 250,000 bipeds were majority favela by land area
13:28 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: seems like it'sa right & proper favela, complete with zero signs on Official maps & 100% pinched mains current
13:30 BingoBoingo On this side of the river they keep the streets labeled while doing 100% pinched mains current. At least until the police do one of their post-dawn raids on a local "boca de pasta" and the electricity police accompany to "regularize" the pinched mains.
13:31 asciilifeform the ru d00d's www is interesting, he makes living in buenosaires by giving ru folx guided tours. and his descriptions of the place moar or less concur with mircea_popescu's : 'unprofessionalism in all possible venues: quality of service in restaurant; lawyers who have nfi about law; clerks who cannot count; cabbies that ask you to show'em the way; barbers who cannot shave... you will wonder why argentines in the airport coming back f
13:31 asciilifeform rom eu are carrying vacuum cleaners, tv sets, computers... country of deficits, like ye olde su'
13:32 asciilifeform BingoBoingo: apparently 'villa-31' standing for half century+ with 0 raids
13:33 BingoBoingo The Uruguayo raids are a new phenomenon
13:36 BingoBoingo Apparently at some point the local socialists called up Rudy Giulianni for advice on countering petty crime. But... the pichis still get their pasta base and the number of rapiñas keep climbing.
13:38 BingoBoingo And the kids from Cerro keep coming into Pocitos and Buceo to spray the name of their Barrio on my Rambla
13:40 * BingoBoingo doubts spray painting "Pocitos" on everything in Cerro would deter them instead of encouraging the behavior. Most of the graffiti from my earliest walks in Montevideo survives, including and especially the low effort tagging.
13:43 spyked apologies for the feedbot join-part spam. the latest outage has helped me discover a subtle bug in pm message delivery; feedbot checks whether a nick is online using the ison irc command, and it didn't handle the corner case when the ison response is empty.
13:44 spyked service should be restored now.

19:37 asciilifeform oh hm was ~that~ where 'river of piss'
19:37 mircea_popescu the problem is not even that it exists, but that it fails to produce the mireilles d'arc one'd expect, ie slender hungry young hotties.
19:38 asciilifeform the linked ru d00d confirms, apparently filled with 'metre + hat' fuglies
19:38 mircea_popescu asciilifeform that was right next to a "high value" site of pomposity further north ; in truth there's a LOT of these in the city of "nightlife" that dun exist and "university professors" with the socks bought on credit.
19:39 mircea_popescu https://www.elles-se-mettent-nues-pour-nous.fr/photos/actrice/m_darc_bonus.jpg << mireille d'arc, for the innocent.
19:41 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-29#1890610 << nothing like ye olde su. 100% like ye present us / somalia / zululand etc.
19:41 a111 Logged on 2019-01-29 18:31 asciilifeform: rom eu are carrying vacuum cleaners, tv sets, computers... country of deficits, like ye olde su'
19:41 mircea_popescu deficits, principally biological. old su, deficits principally material.
19:43 asciilifeform mircea_popescu's episode with the space heater was distinctly reminiscent of late-su
19:44 mircea_popescu because improvised heaters because insane law against heating because etc.
19:45 mircea_popescu whereas argentards, no law, they supply the constraint naturally -- be being indescribable morons.
19:45 mircea_popescu similarily they don't WRITE anything. su had samizdat BECAUSE REASONS. argentina doesn't have it, nor does it have said reasons. because NO NEED to. might as well pass legislation to forbid cattle the making of stalin jokes.
19:45 mircea_popescu when's the last time a cow made a stalin joke ?
19:48 asciilifeform i find it mind-boggling that 'biological deficit'. where , for instance, did the 2+mil germans go ?
19:48 asciilifeform extinct ? how?
19:49 mircea_popescu i have nfi.
19:49 mircea_popescu and for all the "white supremacist" morons : no fucking wonder they dun wanna discuss argentina.
19:49 asciilifeform by any reasonable expectation, place oughta have turned into n-th reich, compl. with biergartens & lederhosen
19:49 mircea_popescu whiter than 80%+ of the us ; as dumb as anything in the congo basin.
19:50 mircea_popescu i suspect the italians are a terrible import.
19:50 asciilifeform the italians went in 1st tho, neh?
19:50 asciilifeform mid-1800s
19:50 mircea_popescu they kept wenting, 1800s through 1950s.
19:51 asciilifeform http://ru-ar.ru/armia << lulzy, .ar army , '40s-'50s
19:51 mircea_popescu http://btcbase.org/log/2019-01-29#1890613 << in any approach, this is roughly the issue in vzla also : socialists tryna hard to discuss their internal problems, wholly owned and entirely due TO SOCIALISM in terms of external influence. trotsky was "fascist" don't you know, and maduro is "authoritarian" and whatnot.

19:52 mircea_popescu bullshit. thew problem with socialism, "authoritatian" or "democratic" or blue or green is THAT IT IS SOCIALISM.
19:52 mircea_popescu as proven by the fact that ~any~ non-socialism, authoritarian, democratic or howsoever else, is just fucking fine.
19:52 mircea_popescu but no, gotta talk around the bush, "how should a streetwalker to her make-up to improve her marriage prospects."
19:53 mircea_popescu cuz totally it's because of the makeup, wut.
20:02 asciilifeform 'ru-ar' d00d described 'month -- euphoria, then reality sets in when so happens you want a faucet fixed, or tooth capped, or to buy power brick for lappy' etc
20:06 mircea_popescu quite.
20:07 mircea_popescu it's hard to imagine you're in a 20mn strong stockyards sprawling 2-3x the surface area of new york
20:07 mircea_popescu it's constantly a "man, i must just not know where the society gathers / parties are / nightlife happens" etc.
20:08 mircea_popescu this lasts as long as it lasts, but if you're actually me and task girls with finding it, and then they (incomprehensibly, and inexplicably) fail and so you cut the town up into squares and have them search it square by square and still NOTHJING turns up, eventually however many months later you can answer authoritatively : the stockyards are bereft of society.
20:09 BingoBoingo Anyways, some ESL leftists picked up something a Uruguayo "scientific historian"/"national systems" professor wrote in an English translation. It's being chopped up for blog.
20:09 asciilifeform 'best magician cannot pull rabbit from hat unless there is actually a rabit in the hat' or how did it go.
20:12 asciilifeform fwiw i liked ar as a coupla-day thing, but can't picture it being so great to have to get on a plane erry time want tooth filled , buy some irons, etc
20:15 asciilifeform i dun have a squadron of searchers to 'square by square', either.
