asciilifeform: i still wish i knew what mircea_popescu means by 'erection is scarce'

asciilifeform: waiwut

asciilifeform: when can we use1111

asciilifeform: very spiffy

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: li battery recalls are a snore

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: what's the exciting part? this happens allt he fucking time

asciilifeform: neato

asciilifeform: sure.

asciilifeform: AS IN GREP

asciilifeform: ideally i oughta be able to search for " lsd " tho.

asciilifeform: phf: toggleable whitespace word boundaries would be useful but i argue that if we can only have one thing, we oughta have the thing you linked to.

asciilifeform: phf: neato

asciilifeform: when i'm trying to tool

asciilifeform: i dun wanna talk to people.

asciilifeform: what one ~can~ do is participate in 'hackspaces' but i tried it and it sucked

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: incidentally you can't actually rent time ~in someone else's~ workshop in usa - liability!1111

asciilifeform: phf: if i could choose between rent and seasickness, i would choose the latter.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: how many you know in iowa ?

asciilifeform: hell, if you can do remote, why even live on land and pay rent like an idiot. live on a motherfucking ship. ☟︎

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if you can do iowa, you can do timisoara, no ?

asciilifeform: and forget about 'all you can eat' bandwidth

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo, phf: ever actually connect over satellite ? the lag is atrocious

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: being the pig is also +ev until christmas.

asciilifeform: neato

asciilifeform: 'how do i remove the alligator from my bath'

asciilifeform: it is solved by ~not doing it~

asciilifeform: the third one is not a problem !

asciilifeform: i seem to recall..

asciilifeform: if only tmsr had a thing that solves all 3... l0l

asciilifeform: phf: does this remind you of anything ?

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: april1?

asciilifeform: does cmucl even support ACTUAL threads yet

asciilifeform: phf: remind me again why cmucl and not sbcl

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://imgur.com/a/aKIww

asciilifeform: heat, heat !

asciilifeform: let's go straight to davinci's vacuum balloon .

asciilifeform: l0l!!

asciilifeform: helium - less.

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: consider, a litre of hydrogen lifts ~1 gram.

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: this is hilarious

asciilifeform: but roaches show up as quickly as they come to a newly-built block of flats in nyc

asciilifeform: which is one of the resons thinking folk so often succumb to the temptation of 'let's make a lang'

asciilifeform: but increasingly i am convinced of mircea_popescu's point, 'ecosystem' of cockroaches is worse than none

asciilifeform: and so i marvel that it worx.

asciilifeform: it does.

asciilifeform: 'quicklisp' sorta workx

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2016/outrageous-mps-guide-to-not-being-a-poorfag/#comment-116904

asciilifeform: win.

asciilifeform: sure.

asciilifeform: thin end of the funnel.

asciilifeform: yeah but why reddit, vs isp.

asciilifeform: they could as easily do it on isp end.

asciilifeform: though i have nfi why this needs to happen with cooperation of reddit per se

asciilifeform: not to mention, gotta plant flash 0days in selected folks' reddit hose

asciilifeform: prolly danielpbarron has it

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: ^ notably i was not involved with this iirc.

asciilifeform: afaik.

asciilifeform: whole thing is public, like city sewer.

asciilifeform: what is there even to surveil on reddit.

asciilifeform: 'Social networking forum reddit on Thursday removed a section from its site used to tacitly inform users it had never received a certain type of U.S. government surveillance request, suggesting the platform is now being asked to hand over customer data under a secretive law enforcement authority.'

asciilifeform: in other nyooz, http://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-cyber-reddit-idUSKCN0WX2YF

asciilifeform: 'It is improper. Enumerations must always be made of items of the same kind. It's not enough that the items answer to the same purpose. They must actually be of the same kind.' << aaaaand this is how we learned that mircea_popescu , under the cover of darkness, programs! in ada !1111

asciilifeform: ~all of which~ he is privy to ??

asciilifeform: let's rephrase, how did mircea_popescu become convinced that usg did ~not know~ ?

asciilifeform: what would it have done differently, in mircea_popescu's view, if it knew ?

asciilifeform: usg ~knows~ but it is impolitic to ~do~ anything.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there are entire office bldgs where they do nothing but hear out stoolies of all colours

asciilifeform: now he can have fun, likely, incinerating his savings while looking for shop that pays his old wage.

asciilifeform: fella thought, as they often do, that 'deserved moar!1111'

asciilifeform: but i dun think anyone, even janitor, taks home less than 6fig usa

asciilifeform: i have nfi!

asciilifeform: pay.

asciilifeform: l0l we just had a man publicly quit in disgust

asciilifeform: (perhaps i am already in prison?)

asciilifeform: prolly just bored to death.

asciilifeform: srsly they never even so much as said a rude word.

asciilifeform: the fauna, strangely, never bothered me.

asciilifeform: the sea even stinks correctly, per my lights

asciilifeform: i enjoy taking day trips there

asciilifeform: bmore is valhalla, at least in american terms

asciilifeform: dildogocchi!

asciilifeform: and if it is unhappy, it burps, sputters

asciilifeform: i almost want to build.

asciilifeform: mega-concept

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: ah

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there ~were~ steam diddlers in 1880s

asciilifeform: (or, a diesel diddler!)

asciilifeform: petrol-powered!

asciilifeform: generators!

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they make even chainsaws

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a type of honda

asciilifeform: early 2000s

asciilifeform: i forget which model exactly

asciilifeform: 'acura', almost old enough to drive itself, 6 cyl.

asciilifeform has ancient and uninteresting auto and will have it for so long as parts can be had for it

asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: does the woman drive ?

asciilifeform: and so never was tempted to keep >1 auto.

asciilifeform: i personally have 1 arse
