pete_dushenski: "When the Pentium Pro (
a P6 family chip) arrived in 1995, Intel allowed kernel-level developers to reprogram the local APIC so that it would appear elsewhere in physical memory. This was handy for moving the local APIC out of the way of low-level software that expected to use that high 0xFEE00000 address for something else."

funkenstein_: perhaps in some way similar to simply passing around
a massive virtual machine file (yes I'm fishing for
a correction on this)
☟︎ funkenstein_: I must say the rotor is
a software release like no other I have seen, yes very deterministic
funkenstein_: wow that looks like
a mega-review, consistent with his recommendation for book reviewers linked earlier :)
funkenstein_: The man has
a great point, but, where did this thing start that humans are not animals, and in what crib do I find it to strangle it?

shinohai: Usually camped out within
a few yards of actual gardens xD
cazalla: another trick is to import chinese grown produce into australia by way of new zealand so can smack
a "made in new zealand" label on it
cazalla: there was some media attention to that effect just
a few months ago here.. imported chinese garlic sold as australia.. fucking food labelling here is so awful that you cannot know what comes from where.. example "made in australia from local and imported ingredients"

☟︎ cazalla:
http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-08-2015#1236757 <<< can vouch for this.. the 80 year old guy over the fence is always inviting me over to just stroll into his backyard and take what i want.. tools, veggies, whatever, help yourself he says but he is also
a little senile so i've not taken up the offer lest he call the police because some intruder is in the backyard
☝︎ BingoBoingo: The lawyer who has taken custody of my planetary acquainance is
a good person though. I trust she will keep him safe. Her political opinions are close to Pete's except for the Bitcoin is going to burn the world part.

BingoBoingo: Dude has
a future though, he made himself some Jew Lawyer's pet.
BingoBoingo: I have

BingoBoingo: Instead of bury your cheese to keep it safe Chicago was more... Like
a FUPA
mircea_popescu: "
a chity so chic its name even starts with chicloaca maxima!"
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: But take comfort. The "Chicago River" is
a 21st century open sewer
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: If any part of the "Chicago River" is in
a frame most of use can smell it.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> sadly stitches are not
a unit of account, pete_dushenski << Seriosly NBC is too poor to film police dramas in NYC. Hence "Chicago PD"
pete_dushenski: i'm trolling
a local newsrag and need to know how far to take my schtick :)
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: it probably grosses
a couple million
a year ? leaving
a net of
a few hundred k, i'd wager

mircea_popescu: though it is manipulated from time to time so as to make sure that only light music will come out of it. I know people who will keep the radio playing all through
a meal and at the same time continue talking just loudly enough for the voices and the music to cancel out. This is done with
a definite purpose. The music prevents the conversation from becoming serious or even coherent, while the chatter of voices stops one
wilbns: fell off
a roof onto my hip which had that phone clipped to it, no problem. accidentally put in
a cup of whisky and coke, no problem.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> <phf> it's not like you end up giving out trash, i lose books that i then have to buy again << seriously, giving women books is fucktarded. either order her to buy and read it, or forget it. << Been
a decade and months since my mistake. Recognized when I wanted to see them again.
wilbns: mircea_popescu: haha, yes, exactly, that was my favorite candy as
a kid which is why i liked the cartoon
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski it's
a great show, starting maybe about 5-6-7 or so but be prepared to support the kid by not being
a hypocrite cop-out sorta parent. which always sounds
a lot easier than it turns out to be
mircea_popescu: it's
a pity they took southpark the route of this hot topic "let's stand in front random news event of the week"
mircea_popescu: if you ever want to introduce
a kid to surrealism, c&c is the way to go.

a car bomb on June 13, 1976. Mr. Bolles had been
a founding member of Investigative Reporters and Editors,
a national organization that Mr. Greene had helped start." << If Mr. Bolles has
a known propensity for peyote and cocaine he likely could have avoided this fate whil
BingoBoingo: Hastings may very well have simply pushed his luck one too many times with reckless behavior. In true Hunter S. Thompson fashion. Even then it would still be interesting to know what he was working on.
A lesson for acoyltes of the press? << Thompson preserved his live by straddling the edge of credibility. "To weird to die" was likely both his motto and official USG policy.
BingoBoingo: "If the subject's personal habits make it feasible, alcohol may be used [very successfully] to prepare him for
a contrived accident of any kind." << FU Hoover

BingoBoingo: mats: On the plus side those things were really productive when they grew. If you have any outdoor space be it
a yard or balcony I highly reccomend them.
BingoBoingo: Ah mats if you find the small white ones, they are especially delicious. Save
a couple for seeds though. It was $2.50 for six seeds this spring for the pattypan squash. Never have I seen seeds that expensive for
a vegetable. Worth it though, just saving them this year.
mats: i told
a friend these events in exactly the same order as irc and she told me i'm gay :(
