mircea_popescu: i dunno how much you folk spend crosslegged tho

asciilifeform: (btw i began with a sewing machine pedal. turns out, they have terrible analogue noise in the switching mechanism )

asciilifeform: i must have the click

asciilifeform: ( mircea_popescu was largely correct, one reason i'm not overly fond of this pedal is the difficulty of resting the foot )

asciilifeform: i would like something more like what one finds in an old airplane, yes

asciilifeform: overrated. find that i don't used them often.

asciilifeform: i have pedals.

asciilifeform: i put meta on thumb

decimation: I didn't think of that for some reason

asciilifeform: i remarked to the pet: 'my well-informed colleagues explained to me that science knows of three species of hoarders: 'clean,' 'dirty', and 'cat' '

nubbins`: i had my first jehovas a couple days ago

asciilifeform: but perhaps i'm just thick

mircea_popescu: i will cloink you all in the head with a taleb hammer

mircea_popescu: i don't have to be encountered directly.

mircea_popescu: aww, and i didn't even get to inquire if the woman that said "because we are also the only ones who give birth to men." was on welfare or not.

mircea_popescu: as you can see, the entire definition rests on what ~i~ prefer,

nubbins`: i'm out

mircea_popescu: if i like the busy look of woman in b, then b just scored. a is a pos nao shame on it for its moral bending ways.

nubbins`: i've seen some pret-t-t-t-t-y dumb people sling dope

mircea_popescu: i don't work in tech.

mircea_popescu: i suppose it's why boys jack off.

allahisgreat2000: thank you i'll read that

nubbins`: i wonder how long minidisc media holds onto data?

nubbins`: i actually make my own discs out of bronze backed w/ ultra-black nanoparticles

nubbins`: from what i can glean from marketing hype, they use special dvd-rs and ramp up the laser strength to make "permanent" optical media

assbot: Logged on 10-06-2015 19:42:15; ascii_field: ms-dos was not asked to do very much. at least, at first. but i still remember screwing with qemm, xms, etc. towards the last years.

jurov: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-06-2015#1159677 haha i concur. and if you exposed ms-dos to untrusted data and got it to crash or worse, it was *your* fault. ☝︎
