mp_en_viaje: and, ethically speaking, if
this means you hafta leave uruguay, leave fucking uruguay, because ~IT IS BROKEN~.
mp_en_viaje: but in any case i'd say it's immoral
to give
the latechco idiots more money ; and stupid
to burn good money chasing out imaginary obligations according
to idiots.
mp_en_viaje: the moral being
that contrary
to what
the pantsuit dweebery dept may be
trying (and occasionally succeeding) in imprinting upon midwestern helicopter moms,
the recourse of 3 ring binder corp putting forth claims upon its failure
to service contracts is exactly nil.
mp_en_viaje: i still have somewhere in
the basement all of
their gear, which i have no intention of returning ; for
their side
they sent however many REALLY IMPORTANT notices,
then started sms-ing
the phone about imaginary "court cases" and
then started offering "settlements". and
then nfi, i hadn't followed,
the humor value ran
thin.

to either immediately remedy or else (which
they ignored) ; were ordered
to close

they did) ; sent a further bill, which was returned with lolz (they responded by pointing out

to stay in uruguayistan, gotta cleanly nuke
the contract.

mp_en_viaje: every
time im
talking
to you about anything
touching business it's like
talking
to a literary character.
mp_en_viaje: its
that every single fucking item in your life is
this exercise in imaginary minimaxing,
the burning sulphur and frogs rain outside is "not
too bad" but
the vcr clock not being set is "intolerable and requires your immediate attention" and so in
this vein until
the
three legged half-sphere cows come home.
mp_en_viaje: it's not JUST
that you fucked up your most recent venture by brushing hair while
the barn burned.
mp_en_viaje: just how, HOW
the fuck does
the noggin work on your shoulders, dude ? you
think paying a coupla grand a month for dc pipe is maxint while you
think dc hardware you carried
through customs at great expense and is locally irreplaceable has no resale value, you
think lawyers will be cheap while you don't pay lawyers
that were cheap, you
think lawyers could help you but lawyers with proven
track record of helping you ~screamingly~ misma
mp_en_viaje: i seem
to recall
this other attorney
that didn't charge megabux (in fact, like a hundy or so per month)
that i've surprise-discovered in your wake and on which you've been owin me for like a year now. i'm starting
to
think it'll get discharged "for cost of postage" also, just as soon as i'm ready ?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-08 21:08:07 asciilifeform: mod6: orc attourneys i suspect dun charge megabux. but imho worth
to find what'd cost. perhaps even 1 would work on contingency, and
then only costs
to feed BingoBoingo .
mp_en_viaje: list
the shit up for sale on
their ebay clone and see wtf.
mp_en_viaje: i can't conceive why
the fuck you'd not get 50% over list value merely for
the
thing being in uy already.
mp_en_viaje: and
the premium was something insane like 150-200% half
the
time. not
to mentio nthe conditions mindblowing --
three week delays "perfectly acceptable, no refunds need be offered" on items promised for overnight delivery etc.

to get ~anyffin for it if sold in orcistan.
mp_en_viaje: no point in
trying
to optimize early / hammer down details before
that
though.
mp_en_viaje: nothing wrong with
talking
to a local legal guy, see what he says in any case.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-10-08 15:01:51 mp_en_viaje: ah yes,
they do owe us some money, but i wasn't converted afaik.

tell mod6 you presently majority shareholder. asciilifeform -- minority. ( mp is
owed and also rightfully has a say. ) let's discuss asap
the lawsuit.
mp_en_viaje: but,
the feelings of idiots should be hurt as a matter of course.
mp_en_viaje: this makes one feel great when "it works", but experimentally it almost never does anything -- hurts
their feelings if
they were going
to pay anyway, and otherwise god himself can't squeeze blood out of stone.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-08 20:33:05 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: also you'll want
to at least attempt
to get
that security deposit back.
mp_en_viaje: could be a good idea for isps of
the future
to keep ~weight~ accouintancy as well. you never know.

mp_en_viaje: the
true disadvantage of old age is
that
the spring outside's never
the spring you befriended, and knew.
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-08 18:32:02 asciilifeform: 'lately spring broke, from cold, / like from prison, once more, / by mistake once i let out a word: / 'friend, leave a little

the war.'
mp_en_viaje: in other news, spessart in
the fulda gap is beautiful in
the autumn.
mp_en_viaje: then of course
the fantasy becomes unsustainable once school starts, so
they acquire as a bonus on
the side all
the desocialization brought by being morosely aloof and ineptly derpy
instead of vital. and from
there on... you got pretty much
the whole enchilada, aged 10 or so
the boi's already useless,

mp_en_viaje: rather
than "it's something in
the water" etc.
the wankasteries are built by overgrown bois who were permitted
to live as uninterruptedly as
they pleased, age 4.5
to 7ish.
mp_en_viaje: in fact, i currently suspect
the principal avenue
through which
the marginally retarded / autistic "engineer" bois of contemporaneity are built is
through parents ineptly failing
to recognize
these children's preference for non-interrupting as a disease symptom, and catering
to it.

the principal function of
the harem in fact. but i'll point out
that it is fallacy of naive linear extension
to imagine "3, 4, 10, 100 days" works quite like
that. yes uninterrupted slots are good, but not experimentaly useful past a few hours. yes

that george costanza quote go, "but mr

mp_en_viaje: for instance, on basis of pizarro experience, mp currently
thinks latam is a joke
technologically, similarly.
diana_coman: so far
they failed spectacularly in my books, what can I say; malaysians might do better.
mp_en_viaje: anyway, not like i forbade ro dc. i merely observed
that very likely not worth anyone's

diana_coman: austrians know how
to make proper hot chocolate!
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, or alternatively, could just go
to vienna instead, have cup of coffee
diana_coman: yes, I need
to write it down ready for paste, indeed.
diana_coman: I suppose next
time I'm in Bucharest, if I *really* have nothing
to do, I'll go and visit data centre, make
them call one another until
the room is full and keep
them going blink-blink

their (indeed mirror-smooth, i nearly slipped on it) marble floor ,
than for working dc!!
mp_en_viaje: considering
they're all fucking glorified floor washers...
mp_en_viaje: these people have no floorwashing crew where
they live ?
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-08 17:23:34 BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Apparently
they don't want wheels scuffing up
the floors of
the lobby, hence have

mp_en_viaje: it's not even untenable
to pay a little extra for it, i guess.

this response, but not sure how you figure utterly insane. I'm not asciilifeform nor diana_coman for e.g.; I'm still pretty "green" at programming and need
to research each design phase and
thoroughly
test my implementations as I go
to make sure it is correct. Oftentimes discover "shit, I fucked up, need
to redo
this part". I.e. learning as I go

target,
to "plunder something and get out of debt" was dacia not gaul ; but dacia

mp_en_viaje: "you have
to register your gpg key, and issue me invoices
thus and following". make it short clear and complete, and
that's
that.
diana_coman: you mean like "data centres wanting
to actually do business, here's what you need
to do" ?
mp_en_viaje: nobody could accuse him of not handling
that inbox.
diana_coman: for extra lulz had some swiss guys
too: I asked
them 4 questions even numbered;
they
took 1 day
to come back with a reply
that sort-of and without referencing, covered maybe 2; I replied and pointed out
that an aswer
that doesn't answer makes for funny reading so will
they answer questions 1 and 4 now?
they came back answering only 1.
mp_en_viaje: diana_coman, maybe
the right move here is
to construct a little counter, you know ? "i'd like
to use your services,
this is what you have
to do".
mp_en_viaje: just
that, no more, merely repeated over and over AND OVER again. who knows, maybe if you ask
the same dumb question enough
times
the answer changes/
diana_coman: mp_en_viaje: actually I woke up
to a bunch of emails saying "you do need an account BUT no need
to fill in any info really, just email plz"
ossabot: Logged on 2019-10-08 16:44:01 diana_coman: I got

the point where I'm firing
them emails ~ can I order
that or
the other *without* your "account"
that I utterly don't need; and similar.
mp_en_viaje would also pay something for spinoza-polished lenses ; but because i'm perverse not because
they're worth it.
