mircea_popescu: HAIR THEORY!
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in other chicks can code moments, "I earned my degree and license in cosmetology and had a horrible career as a hair dresser that I ended in 2015 due to social anxiety. I still love hair theory, and I even really enjoy working on people with whom I share a close relationship, but now I'm in pursuit of a new path."
mod6: im having a grand ole time
mod6: almost there!
mod6: (this one has aggressive push blocks too)

trinque: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-28#1777618 << the wisdom of this sinks in. can't fish for humans with shit for bait. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: but i can't go that way after having specifically organized a painstaking and complex process to rule out teh comcasts.
mircea_popescu: yeah. if this was comcast...
trinque: and so, instincts tuned to those cockroaches
trinque: at question wasn't the amount of money, but that two different answers came out of a vendor. I have dealt with many, many a credit card processor.

mircea_popescu: (for noobs : most fiatola businesses keep an excel spreadshit detailing the per account roi.)
trinque: I can give the benefit of the doubt that DC will see it that way, sane foot to start upon.
mircea_popescu: trinque i expect you know exactly how it goes, a couple hundy extra puts you way at the top of ~the excel spreadsheet~. which is worth it from a service pov. i think you follow the strategix involved.
asciilifeform: panda tears for wiper tank.
mircea_popescu: butterfly tears.
asciilifeform: didja inflate with argon too
mircea_popescu: oh and btw -- if your expensive imported german car isn't rolling on tubed tyres, do try them on. it... it makes a fucking difference.
mircea_popescu: i think with some minimal tweaks that shop could go on the f1 trackside.
mircea_popescu: i've... not even ever said that before.
mircea_popescu: they talked so fucking fast I HAD TO TELL THEM TO SLOW DOWN FOR ME! I!!!
mircea_popescu: was regaled with the most incredible display of local competency ; indeed global competency ever encountered. three kids switched out and back in five tyres in like 12 minutes.
mircea_popescu bought tyres + inner tubes at place which had shorter "guarantia" and charged slightly more than place which did not offer the inner tubes. "why not just buy tubes and take them to other place ? they said they'd do it" "stfu"
asciilifeform: where mircea_popescu gave a picture, 'i'ma buy a 6th item in the place that has the correct 1-5 already, and even for moar dough'
mircea_popescu: what i don't want is to leak 10x the sum to unrelated third party scammer-whores, ie whores that don't even strip.
asciilifeform: iirc this was discussed in old thread
mircea_popescu: i don't because i want them to have a vested interest in sucking my cock.
mircea_popescu: trust in the non-idiocy of the lordship, you will rarely be disappointed.
mircea_popescu: trinque i deliberately didn't want to hussle on the price ; i don't want THOSE $200. but it was understood.
trinque: if not what, trinque's playing some game?
asciilifeform: and why not go. i'd actually much like to bring the three s.nsa boxen over with own hands
trinque: well for starters, when I get a quote out of folks for something that's 200 cheaper than another quote, oughta be understood that I'm helping the damned negotiation. that was annoying.
mircea_popescu: ^ guy somehow managed to get a boxful of pogos through customz.
asciilifeform: supposing that it is actually necessary, and those heathen outfits would not ship straight to bb
mircea_popescu: also go over there if fedex turns to shit ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform are you basically willing to sit on newegg/amazon/whatever and package boxes to mail over ?
asciilifeform: ( they are readily inserted in most rackable boxen that have internal usb port , but if it's a 1u then you need a 90degree adapter for the plug )
mircea_popescu: check out new meaning of PUBLIC company coined in tmsr forum!
mircea_popescu: the whole point of this public company is that.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform possibly because other parties assemble teh boxes.
trinque is trying to not let the ad hoc process here rustle his jimmies
asciilifeform: i dun see any reason for'em not to travel already installed inside boxen
mod6: Just was thinking I'd be/foundation would probably be happy to purchase 4 from whatever gets shipped down to bb.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that he eventually wants to have the infrastructure down there for his own boxen
asciilifeform: mod6: i dunget it then, what does your 'in' consist of
mircea_popescu: mod6 imo it's counterproductive to do it that way ; but each his own
mod6: i'd be fine with the ones that are alreday down there though.
mod6: lol, i didn't mean mine no. but i guess i could do that.
trinque: BingoBoingo: pls to send shipping address my way as well
mircea_popescu: mod6 i think ima just get s.nsa to make bbisp an offer buy some to have on hand.
mod6: I wanna send like 4 down there.
mod6: Can I get in on that fg order?
asciilifeform: hey BingoBoingo , let's test fedex. gpg me an addr you can get mail at.
mircea_popescu: i am exaggerating for to make the point.
asciilifeform: not quite empty, iirc BingoBoingo thought a few moves ahead, brought some boxes in suitcase
mircea_popescu: $900 writeoff for "expert" that didn;t as much as write on her tits, now $3k write-off for "month of pulling dick atop empty rack", the joys of business over here.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: you did. and how it took , what , whole month on top of the Officially specced <week , and showed signs of passing through who knows what ordeals
mircea_popescu: had a battery tackon and erryhing.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i recall getting that ?
trinque is on the same page, wants the list
mircea_popescu: trinque i have been pushing him to produce me a list of machiens that can be bought for what, three weeks now ? six ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the orig prototype rng
trinque: guy's talking about vacations. shipping has been plan B if there's no machines to acquire on the spot
asciilifeform: hey mircea_popescu recall my fedex to ro ?
asciilifeform: possibly nothing. or possibly argentina-style problem. ( anybody tried yet ? )
trinque: I'm definitely not flying a box to bbisp
trinque: idea of this is nonsense. why don't I contract with latechco directly for a 1U if I have to do that
asciilifeform: maybe i'm thick, but , let's say mircea_popescu wants a server magicked into existence. would he want to pay the cost of a asciilifeform-carries-in-suitcase-in-airplane-to-BingoBoingoistan in the cost of said box ?
asciilifeform: this is mildly reminiscent of the 'hand-delivery for FG service' thread
BingoBoingo: Someone here has to need a vacation, mircea_popescu might be the only other person in the republic with better weather scheduled for the next two months.
mircea_popescu: and in case it's not obvious: there's a MAJOR opportunity here for someone wanting to deliver a service for pay. why is nobody advertising "i will produce boxes and ship them to bb" ? have "the boundless blablas" buffett assigned to america died QUITE that dead ?
BingoBoingo: I haven't recieved it. I'm going to poke them again now.
mircea_popescu: that's the top priority, else we'll be paying for an empty rack while the endless doodling goes about with getting servers delivered.
mircea_popescu: you never published the server order list.
BingoBoingo: Anyways musl servering is going well, building a trb on the box because gotta test for republican standards compliance.
BingoBoingo: Nah I mean with the butterflies there I refrained from gassing the stinkbugs. They crawled from the milkweed to the tomato cages to transform.
mircea_popescu: you mean the butterflies ? iirc these only eat milkweed
BingoBoingo: All I know is they like to park their asses on bare galvanized with for their personal transformations. For two weeks the tomatoes suffered mucho de stinkbugs.
mircea_popescu: i bet there's something you can measure to time them
asciilifeform: maybe if all the jars were in a proper incubator, with thermo/hygro-stat
mircea_popescu: it was quite visible inside towards the end
asciilifeform: iirc they dun reliably sync, however, >day of variance b/w various pupils' hatchings
asciilifeform: i recall the wing-drying specifically.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> gold sparks and everything ? << ya, mine too.
mircea_popescu: pin them on naked sluts piece montee in the middle of table.
mircea_popescu: anyway, this is suggesting new peaks of luxury. they spend ~half hour waiting for their wings to dry / batting them slowly. if you get a few dozen coordinated chrysalises you could have quite the grandiose dinner table.
mircea_popescu: i still have nfi how they do those. is it what, copper ?
mircea_popescu: i suspect this is slightyl different, iirc northerner monarch chrisalis looks more like a turd
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually had 1 of these as homework in american school, 3rdgrade << yah, same.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: This summer there were a few in my garden
asciilifeform: they used to migrate as far north as here. ( perhaps still do ? somewhere )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually had 1 of these as homework in american school, 3rdgrade
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/it-came-out/ << Trilema - It came out!
mod6: ok DC said they'll throw in an SSD for me. so that's awesome. hopefully that'll get my node caught up and stay caught up.
