mod6: <+asciilifeform> prolly suffices if you avoid 'hard landings' lol << fwiw too, i use my chair as low as it goes. fully decompressed.
pete_dushenski: i don't recall ever having written about ~owning~ schmancy watches even if i did nail tlp on patek prices (http://www.contravex.com/2015/11/10/the-danger-of-unchecked-assumptions-or-the-surprising-depths-of-inequality/) and did publicly confess to owning leather+plywood chair (http://www.contravex.com/2017/02/20/the-eames-lounge-legacy-continues/)

asciilifeform: but no steel wheels today, and you can't buy'em, It Would Be Wrong
asciilifeform: ( my brother still uses it, it looks and works entirely the same today as when found )

mod6: i knew this guy who was well over 300lbs who used to jump into his seat, every time damn near.
mod6: i bought a digital caliper... ima use it to measure the thickness of the baseplate.

asciilifeform: ( iirc the photo was linked here, couplea yrs ago )
asciilifeform: whenever i think of cheap 100%finestchinesium officechairs, i think of the famous 'overpressure piston impalement' chair. ☟︎
mod6: thing was like rocking side to side, etc. was bout to go buy a new one. herpderp
mod6: just fixed my office chair.. apparently all it took was to tighten up the dial thingy on the bottom.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-09-14#1714258 << funkenstein was an odd d00d: shat on trb, but lifted it wholesale for use in his altwhatever; today hangs in kakolandia and misses no chance to hurrdurrmpisafraud etc ☝︎
asciilifeform: trinque: didja 'libraryize' the crypto routines? or how did you end up doing it.

mod6: <+trinque> wtf, just make it public then, what's this autistic "no but the sticker's still there that says safe" << oh, i misunderstood this at first pass. you mean, 'make the parent class public, instead of protected' ya?
mircea_popescu: anyway. he has to diddle vchData to import.
mircea_popescu: sort of thing that makes everything difficult.
mircea_popescu: trinque always struck me as a case of "i know these people are right but i don't want them to be" internal tension. ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2014-02-20 02:46 chetty: A Fatwa has been issued against living on Mars by clerics who say that trying to set up home there would be un-Islamic.

mod6: trinque: where do you see this?
mircea_popescu: trinque i imagine dood just didn't know how to proceed and too weird to ask.
mircea_popescu: ages auxquels nous sommes depuis longtemps pliés. Nous connaissons bien par l'expérience du passé, les inconvéniens qu'ils présentent ; mais nous ignorons quelle est l'étendue des maux que leur changement peut produire.

trinque: the guy introduced a new wrapper class to... allow himself (?) to diddle an attr of the parent class marked "protected"
trinque: in the process, realized I oughta publically denounce something in the funkenstein importprivkey/dumpprivkey patch ☟︎
trinque been spelunking in the trb innards a while, close to wrapped up on a few little tools to go hexstring->privkey->pubkey->addr relying solely on existing trb innards. ☟︎
mircea_popescu: concentration is the exactly wrong answer here.
mircea_popescu: no, sanity. wtf would everything live in same place as trilema ?
