turns out, ship with keylogger in sound card driver.
BingoBoingo: Lol, yeah.
The shirt covered area is still pale, but it did not detract from how impressed
the Brazilian girls of were with my magic gringo power of
tolerating ~15 C
temperatures on
the bare skin
☟︎ lobbes: Oya. Nose and ear-tips. For some reason my forearms can
take more solar abuse. Closest
thing
to 'tan' I can achieve is on arms
BingoBoingo: Mine rarely gets
that bad, worst case it stays red longer before brownshift. Except for
the solar concentrator
that appears
to be my nose.
That can blister.
lobbes when 18, visited DR with Dominican co-workers at
the
time. Forgot
to reapply sunscreen after entering ocean one afternoon. Skin was peeling and oozing for ~2 weeks afterwards
☟︎ a111: Logged on 2017-12-11 17:03 BingoBoingo: I redden and
then it shifts
to brown
BingoBoingo: For other gringos contemplating
travel
to Montevideo, so far in my experience voseo has not been a big deal. However my ears are still adjusting
to yeshimo.
BingoBoingo: The closest site
to US urbania so far were some
terrified dominican
tourists and
their scared ~10 year old child decked out in "thug chainz"
BingoBoingo: The local men range from ghastly pale
to light brown with some outliers at
the african end of
the spectrum.
The local women range from olive or slightly
tanned
to medium roast coffee with fairly even gradient distribution so far observed.
BingoBoingo: phf:
They may confuse it with a panama hat. For a nominally latin country I am somehow more
tan on
the exposed areas of my skin
than many of
the local adult males.
BingoBoingo: Brazilian seems
to be
their default guess for foreigners
that aren't obviously Argentine
phf: BingoBoingo: you just need
to wear one of
those
texan cowboy hats
☟︎ shinohai: Throw in a few hue's and br's
to confuse
them.
BingoBoingo: Usually I have
to volunteer Soy de estados unidos. Most locals appear
to be unfamiliar with
the
term estadounidense
BingoBoingo: In other annecdotes people
The most popular 1st guess of my nationalty by
the locals is Brazilian which is followed by English.

this
thing you can only buy!!1"
mats: lots going on for mats, i'm
trying
to make my way
to .tw within a year,
then hk. futzing with student visa right now
☟︎ mats: i have
two gizmo1 kits also
mats: its on
the
to-do list
mats: i have
two on my desk, been
toying with centos on it
mats: any reading materials on how i can do
that?
mats: you have
to pay
to get on imdb anyways
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Also anyone want
to come
to Montevideo and hang out, drop off some servers? Apparently you have until March before
the weather
turns London-esque.
BingoBoingo: Eh,
there were some film credits
there.
The German girl was impressed by
the credits, but did not look as good as
the Brazilain girls. Maybe if
the German girl was from 10-20 years ago she could compete against
the locals and
the Brazillians?
Today, no.
mircea_popescu: not like making an imdb profile
takes more
than
ten minutes.
BingoBoingo: In other news,
the Brazilians at
the hostel are easily impressed. One of
the guys staying
there was local actor with an IMDB profile, but el gringo had
the ability
to enjoy
the cool night air shirtless.
BingoBoingo: I don't
think USG can simulate
the smell of cannabis smoke, however
the Brazilians here for
the "expo cannabis" are departing either for home or Punta del Este
BingoBoingo: I suspected as much when I made it
to Montevideo instead of Guantanamo.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-29 20:10 mircea_popescu: still, stuff like
the raufoss mk211 is
the exact pill for "oh, we're armored". orly ? well done, so
the round won't blow clear
through you! enjoy zirconium fire in your spleen!
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: If USG.blue were
to off me, is
there anyone who would want
to
take over or wind down
the venture, or is
this not
the
time
to discuss continuity?
mircea_popescu: NOT "did you ever consider venera's wings could
take a
turn most material" but YES "wanna come back
to my place ?"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo you have
this newfound penchant for vagueness. NOT "is
there anyone willing
to be involved in
transactions" but YES "can anyone lend me five bux".
mircea_popescu: aaand in other "curse of
the ukr chick" news,
temp here dropped
to a very cool 15 over
the past coupla days. HOW DO YOU LIKE MY MILD NAO, BEOTCH!
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo what's
tbi ? <<
The working name of
The Boingo ISP
mircea_popescu: circle
the block in
those silly slut jeeps, cropped
tops and loudspeakers.
mircea_popescu: dude,
the more you get oppressed,
the more you get productive. ima hire pro dommes
to come
to your house and insult your manhood.
BingoBoingo: So, as I intensify
the abogado search, are
there any lord who would like
to
take on
the responsibility of handling
TBI responsibilities should something "nailgun" happen
to El Gringo Bingo? mircea_popescu? shinohai? ben_vulpes? Anyone else in L1?
BingoBoingo: In
time. I am still map building my local environment and extending it out of Pocitos and Buceo.
These boots were made for walking.
shinohai: Glad Bb is adjusting
to his new climes.
BingoBoingo: So, on Sundays Montevideo does get very sleepy. Except for
the ferias!
RagnarDanneskjol: Don't know if you already have anyone in place for comparing/assessing outputs.. In
the past I've used colleagues in Beijing
to help screen candidate writing samples (cause I don't read or speak Ornamental). I'm happy
to have someone do
the same if it helps. Otherwise, will just let you
take over from here.
RagnarDanneskjol: mircea_popescu I have a couple of
translators sorting out
their IRCs
today and should be present within
the next 24 hrs or so. I've only done some basic screening -
they are all native Chinese, speak English well enough and are available
to do
translation work. Besides speaking
to
them, I have NOT gone
through any further process of elimination - ie. collected writing samples
to have compared, etc.
trinque: in
this case it was a box going from an IDE platter
to IDE
to mSATA adapter + ssd.

trinque:
there will be a brief wallet outage while I swap a hard drive.
danielpbarron: any church
that let's strangers walk into
the service is at question in
the first place, on
the grounds
that
the Bible says you shouldn't pray in public
mircea_popescu: sure.
tho of interest
to me is
the cultural
tradition. like skateboarding or w/e.
mircea_popescu: weirdo neoprotestant garbage, "find
teh jaysus within" and "participate" negrochurch nonsense.
mircea_popescu: catholics have female choirs, but much more musical
than
this.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-20 17:03 mircea_popescu: in other news, ended up in local church after walk
this morning. had
to leave once priest showed up and
the womenz starting "singing" an hymn
trinque: looks like
the migration went fine; wallet's back up.
danielpbarron: oh, i
think i already linked
this
to you.. did it not work?
nocko: I was linked
to FFA guide, started looking around and am now here. I cannot say
that I yet have half an idea what's going on... but hello.

that a scripting lang ~needs~ a gc

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-10#1749235 << nobody has solved
the bootstrapping problem. every
time you
touch a system
that's in any way attempts
to not be a c-machine you run into
that issue
a111: Logged on 2017-12-10 13:10 mircea_popescu:
the ~other~ explanation, however, might well be
that i don't write on
topics about which
they're
trained
to
think
they have an oppinion. it's easy
to forget
the parameciums are not actually people, and
to imagine human process impels
them ;
this isn't however
the case,
they just go where
they were
trained
to go and do what
they were
trained
to do, no more.
a111: Logged on 2017-12-10 13:08 mircea_popescu: so we could say
the ycombined parameciums are moving, knocking about
the walls of
the petri dish. nevertheless,
they don't feel at liberty
to derp in comments
there like
they do on your site -- notwithstanding
the bar
to comment on loper-os is actually
too high what with
the google captcha
thing.

the sad fact re gnat is
that
there is no known way
to build a gnat without an existing (built) gnat.
