a leap.
cazalla: looks like coindesk had
a black people only table at consensus

a gun "drop box" to encourage residents to turn in firearms, no questions asked." << "we also advise residents to wipe their guns clean of fingerprints and bodily fluids because we WILL be inspecting each and every firearms for evidence that may be used in any ongoing investigation"
☟︎ mod6: whereas v0.5.3.1 has no disclaimer contained within, TEST2 does have
a bit of
a warning the README.txt file. So perhaps the warning could go away.
☟︎ cazalla: Vexual, nah i left because of some issues with asbestos and then started
a new job, but turned out $25 p/h for an 8 hour working day actually meant $25 p/h for first 8 hours, work for next 4 hours for free! (fuck 12 hour days even if it was fully paid)
☟︎ BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> BingoBoingo: if you have
a 0.3 adapted to work on modern net, let's have it ? << I don't pussling at this dilemma as well
mod6: lemme find it in the b-
a logs.
mod6: asciilifeform: at one point ben and I discussed
a 'warning' or 'disclaimer' because mp asked us to put something up there iirc
shinohai: "nasa.exe has encountered
a problem
a needs to close .... "
lobbes: I always feel like
a weenie pointing out typos, but *shrug*
BingoBoingo: Some asshole was calling qntra
a bunch of slanderous lies beneath the gloryholious MIT Technology Review
shinohai: Take
a break mod6, I am sure you deserve it.
mod6: ;;later tell asciilifeform I've been testing/looking at 'v' quite
a bit. Re-implementing on my own for better/full understanding (since I'm not
a python guy). I'm confused about why here 'asciilifeform_and_now_we_have_eatblock.vpatch' is not listed as
a descendant of mod6_fix_dumpblock_params.vpatch :
http://dpaste.com/08X2Q6P.txt trinque: unrelatedly, here is
a picture of the asses of several soldiers
mod6: <+trinque> hanbot: sorry to hear that; wish him

cazalla: australia put in
a bid for 12,000 followed up by announcement the gov wants to bomb syria even more
BingoBoingo: I'm fine with it if they move them into North City. The Bosnian resettlement program in South St Louis was
a huge success seeing how the bonsians run that place now.
BingoBoingo: So on the local TV news apparently St Louis is going to put in
a bid for 1200 syrian refugees.
BingoBoingo: trinque: It appears
a certain bot isn't on the job...
BingoBoingo: <thestringpuller> trinque has
a point. BingoBoingo cazalla you should invite Matonis to irc. He is
a big Qntra fan. << He know where to come. His problem if he doesn't act on it.
shinohai: What
a quote. In other news, the sky is blue and grass is green.
cazalla: trying to make
a recruiter for the cult outta me eh thestringpuller ? people can find their own way
thestringpuller: trinque has
a point. BingoBoingo cazalla you should invite Matonis to irc. He is
a big Qntra fan.
trinque: as for whether tech review acknowledges it, who gives
a fuck?
trinque: "qntra started
a useful conversation regardless of views" << l0l
trinque: wd on not losing your keys as
a result
shinohai: I'm sure they are in for quite
a surprise when they fire it up and find it doesn't have an X server.
mod6: just busted into your place? did they get
a copy of your PGP key?
trinque: I've amused myself with the thought that the United States has been on
a mission to unite humanity (against itself).
trinque: he does, but perhaps there is also
a longer-term game to play which results in
a diminished, financially crippled USA
trinque: there's
a case to be made here that the US has (with the Saudis and Turks) created
a monster; I wonder if someone such as Putin will address that.
trinque: mats: looking like this will be quite
a war, when it rips loose
trinque: poor guy took quite
a crack on the head once upon
a time, so I can't blame him

a smaller space. maybe I'm wrong though?
mod6: I wanna build some potato boxes for next year too, at least, give it
a try. Was going to do that this year, but ... got too busy.
analmaster: the beetles just left my back yard
a few weeks back.
analmaster: i would buy
a handheld hitler for sure. will leave no stone unturned in search for the filth.
mod6: not
a bad idea. ima try that next year if I see 'em. year before didn't see any!
analmaster: i also get raped by the japp beetles. my suggestion, every morning ( and night during peak season) take
a hand heled vacuum and suck them off
mod6: im
a gardening n00b. i grew two zucchinis. my cucumber plants died. i did get 1 metric fuckton of tomatoes tho.

a very clever ddos vehicle for the bitcoin tx relay network, because the inept implementation generates
a lot of such spurious nonsense anyway)
punkman: cazalla: seems like the winner was
a deedbot
punkman: fwiw, the new, fixed, improved, amazing Firefox likes to crash several times
a day on me.

a fallback

a FTTH project
a few years ago, obliterated themselves and the other ISPs by installing the big laser backwards
ben_vulpes: not much i can explain to
a man sinking into quicksand about the joys of hard land.
assbot: Logged on 10-09-2015 01:22:43; BingoBoingo: $12,000-$15,000 also fits the sweet spot for "toy" vehicles. Less than people pay for
a boat and more than they can sell it for.
mircea_popescu: we were doing the cantor proof in 10th grade. what's the use of
a calculator for that ?
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> <asciilifeform> pete_dushenski: the '83' was actually mandatory at the school i went to. << i never had
a calculator in school. of any kind. << I college math calculators became verboten

a calculator in school. of any kind.
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> and the misfortune of replacing it with the 89 'titanium' << I made this mistake in college. Sold my 'titanium' at
a loss
trinque: speaking of which, asciilifeform could you provide
a hash of some sort for your derive.exe ?
BingoBoingo: Hard to beat the Ford exploder for rollover champion, but the early 70's GTO pony car is
a serious competitor
BingoBoingo: Take out the back bench and there's
a solid looking living area
pete_dushenski: so yes, hanging out with girls and their iphone 6s' is
a liability. welcome to the future.
assbot: Logged on 09-09-2015 19:28:28; trinque: but we made
a new iPhone
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Every year I've got
a combine (as in the farm equipment) and car demolition derby on back to back days hundreds of feet aways
pete_dushenski: "The Wembley Demolition Derby is Proud to announce our 10th Anual Demolition Derby which is taking place on September 12th, 2015 at 11:00

BingoBoingo: Fuck,
a roadworthy chevy monte carlo can be had for $500
BingoBoingo: But for
a car person pete_dushenski it sounds like you need friends in lower places.
BingoBoingo: Well, probably would cost somewhere between
a Chevy monte carlo's breakpads and
a maybach quarter panel
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: How does the heater not work in
a way that wouldn't be cheap to fix?
