[17:48:30] janrinok|afk is now known as janrinok
[17:13:17] <cmn32480> that one is easy until you are all up in the air having fun and all of a sudden... pfft
[17:06:33] <everdred> That one's easy; just don't.
[16:52:36] <cmn32480> I think I'd be ok with that... minus the whole running out of fuel thing
[16:52:10] <everdred> How about Rocketeer-style?
[16:51:21] <cmn32480> and by fly I mean without an airplane or a catapult.
[16:51:02] <everdred> Doubtful.
[16:50:23] <everdred> Yeah, I learned by a different sort of "necessity" years ago... when the office was milk-less for a few weeks. I eventually found I liked it better without.
[16:49:58] <cmn32480> on the whole, I'd ratehr have xray vision or be able to fly. can I trade the black coffee drinking in for one of those?
[16:49:17] <cmn32480> I don't have a choice. Either drink it black, or the lactose intolerance takes over adn I shit myself stupid.
[16:48:40] <cmn32480> necessity... not ability
[16:47:41] <everdred> The ability to drink black coffee is like a super-power.
[16:46:53] <cmn32480> but I can't have anything with milk in it, so I drink black
[16:46:33] <cmn32480> Starbucks brewed coffee is by far the worst thing on thier menu
[16:46:16] <cmn32480> we typically brew Maxwell House at the office, with a bag of Dunkin' when I feel like buying it.
[16:45:22] <everdred> When I remember to grind beans at home, I like the office coffee as well. But most of the time I don't and I just drink what's there.
[16:45:00] <everdred> Interesting. Even across the whole light/dark roast spectrum?
[16:43:58] <cmn32480> I abhor Starbucks and will forego coffee if that is the only thing avaialble
[16:43:41] <cmn32480> I like Dunkin' Donuts
[16:43:37] <cmn32480> I like 7-11 (especially the Blueberry)
[16:43:28] <cmn32480> I like the coffee I brew in the office.
[16:43:16] <cmn32480> adn more importantly, I know what I like.
[16:43:14] <everdred> ...which is why I can drink the coffee at my office. :)
[16:43:07] <cmn32480> I have standards
[16:42:51] <everdred> It's also useful to not have high standards when it comes to taste.
[16:42:44] <cmn32480> and I have a pot in my office
[16:42:26] <everdred> Exactly.
[16:41:51] <cmn32480> isn't there a starbucks, 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts on eery corner as it is?
[16:41:23] <everdred> ...coffee shops as caffeine dispensaries on every corner.
[16:40:50] <everdred> Imagine

[16:39:01] <cmn32480> coffee++
[16:38:57] <cmn32480> AMEN!
[16:38:46] <everdred> Coffee may be an acquired taste, but it's an incredibly useful taste to acquire.

[00:31:46] <nick> are still members of the IMF/WB/BIS though, so perhaps not
[00:28:49] <nick> they left the aforementioned poker table and may have snuck out the casino via a service elevator
[00:28:08] <nick> probably should read more on what theyve been upto, one could argue it's been absent from the mainstream narrative for that reason
[00:27:46] <nick> Iceland seems to have done very well
[00:26:47] <AndyTheAbsurd> so the thing to do, really, is take a hint from Iceland, throw the IMF out of the country, imprison any giving the equivalent of subprime loans, bail out the citizens (not the corporations), and jack up the marginal tax rate on high income earners.
[00:26:05] <nick> greek people are a statistical irrelevance at this scale
[00:25:55] <nick> ensuring global stability and investment opportunities is what matters
[00:25:40] <nick> although hurting national economies is irrelevant to the IMF/ECB
[00:25:31] <nick> exactly my point AndyTheAbsurd
[00:25:18] <AndyTheAbsurd> and the IMF wants them to put in place "business friendly" practices - despite the fact the IMF themselves have found that those practices actually HURT a nation's economy.
[00:25:12] <paulej72> how much for the parthanon
[00:24:12] <nick> which is pretty much the mission statement of the IMF
[00:23:33] <nick> but part of the deal, for the IMF to continue giving them money to pay the same IMF off from previous loans, is that they need to allow the international finance vultures in to pick apart greece
[00:22:18] <nick> but the problem is ever decreasing circles of that as the more payments due to the IMF, the more the IMF needs to let Greece borrow.
[00:21:29] <nick> which is the whole point of the IMF/ECB at this point, working out who is going to loan them more money, so the greeks can then pay it back on the money they borrowed last week
[00:21:00] <nick> thats what theyve already been doing
[00:20:44] <paulej72> maybe they can just pass the hat around at the next UN meeting
[00:18:04] <nick> i mean if the greeks dont pay off the debt, then the financial institutions which China will have various levels of involvement in, will take official ownership
[00:16:17] <paulej72> if they pay off the debts they own the country.
[00:13:36] <nick> so don't need china to get involved anymore than they most likely already are
[00:12:52] <nick> but im sure the current creditors would argue they're already owed greece
[00:12:22] <nick> paulej72, you never know, that might be the end game
