http://logs.ossasepia.com/log/trilema/2019-09-15#1936552 - so regret your haste
then and/or specific choice-avoidance but not your decision; it was made at
that
time and it's done; regretting
the decision only puts you in a very awkward position moving on because now what - you'll be a knight who regrets his decision of being a knight?
lobbes: OR would you prefer
the whole
thing at once?
lobbes: Now, are you cool with me releasing patches in pieces? I.e. First patch will be a bot
that eats IRC and shits lines into a article on
Trilema (under 'logs' category).
Then subsequent patches for
the rest of
the asks.
lobbes: anyways,
this regret will go well with my
penance posts on
the consequences of derealisation inducing activities (mind rot is real!)
ericbot: Logged on 2019-09-15 12:57:02 diana_coman: I just realised
that it was probably not clear above: my point was why regret
the *decision*.
lobbes:
http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-09-15#1936485 << because my decision was made hastily and prematurely imo. I don't
think I needed
to resign. I did so
thinking I could eschew choice, but
that is stupid; can't ever eschew choice wtf. And
this dumb move will result in loss of coolness, as mircea_popescu pointed out; loss of privilege.
lobbes: In other words,
this is
step II ain't it?
The *fact* is
that I'm poor, so I may as well accept
that and stop pretending otherwise, yes? I.e. No palpable difference between 90K WFF per month and 30K WFF per month;
they are both
the same level of poverty
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-15 00:45:39 lobbes: Plus I still have
the various
TMSR infrastructure
that I pay for (my VPSen, my dedicated server), and prolly something else I'm forgetting. Still looking like
the best way
to cut
this knot is via
the remote work option (i.e. I'll need monthly income of some kind). But
the beauty seems
to be I can
take a massive pay cut from what I make now, since my cost of living should be much lower in South America.

turn it whichever way you wish, lordship an' poverty don't work
together. in all cases it's better
to resolve shortfalls by increasing income rather
than by reducing expense, and yes
the point's well made
that by
the
time a few hundy a month
make a difference one has much more pressing problems
than puttin
ericbot: Logged on 2019-09-14 20:09:08 mircea_popescu: (you may
think she has home equity or w/e, but in practice see
the medicare
threads, it's on loan)

http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-09-14#1936262 << sure, but
the point is I gave my word back 2006
to *her*
that if she cosigned I wouldn't default. Maybe I'm foolish but I like
to keep my word. Plus, virtually everyone else in my family has backstabbed her / cheated her
to some degree,
to which she never became bitter about, but instead just put
them out of her life and kept on working

http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-15#1936360 << nobody's requiring you
to
take any specific decisions.
the limit's
the establishment of
the facts, you said some
things, i retorted because i didn't
think
they were necessarily factual, not because i
thought you should do x or whatever.
BingoBoingo: Apparently
the naked folks are making 1500 pesos (~45 USD) a day. Which, considering
the bulk of jobs in
the local economy pay ~20,000 pesos a month with 44 hours workweeks... seems a bit generous.
BingoBoingo: There's also confusion with different sources claiming
the rent being paid for
the plaza is millions of pesos Uruguayos or millions of pesos NorteAmericanos.
BingoBoingo: Probably would have made more sense
to film at
the Punta Carretas Shopping & Prison
BingoBoingo:
http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-15#1936498 << Leasing Army base would have been much cheaper. Instead
they leased
the city's main square,
took out everything green or movable, and
then chroma-key'd
the palms and
the base of
the Masoleum of Jose Artigas.
They are filming in
the country's principal political location and dressing it as somewhere else.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, zamac is precisely
that, industrial zinc alloys
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-15 09:06:54 mircea_popescu: if work avoidance worked
that well, usgistani chemopsychiatry'd almost make sense, come
to
think of it.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-15 09:05:57 mircea_popescu: one day
the surgery
team removed a man's
testicles by mistake.
the man himself was cavallier about it : "well... it's
that much less
to wash."
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-15 08:46:39 mircea_popescu: also,
the campus was literally one mile from my residence at
the
time ; and
the campus worked mostly as young whore storage in
those days.

snsabot: Logged on 2019-03-13 20:23:03 asciilifeform: recall :
the xray best-quote of 5 firms was : 2700 orcdubloons PER SHOT
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-15 06:03:16 diana_coman: mircea_popescu: even if/when I must introduce it because possibly some disgruntled good for nothings have nothing better
to do
than
to spam
snsabot: asciilifeform:
time since my last reconnect : 30d 0h 48m
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-15 06:17:08 mircea_popescu:
then a minute later, loads again. and will be fine again for however long, an hour or a day, but
then again,
taskes a minute off.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-14 20:11:37 asciilifeform: somewhat oddly, perhaps, vs
traditional comp-building culture , mechanical strength is needed,
the crates are abused rather heavily by
the porters ( last
time BingoBoingo and asciilifeform had
to straighten
the 'ears' with hammers )
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-15 08:25:10 mircea_popescu: but also no reason
to use al in your applciation. use zamak, weld with Lotkolben
diana_coman: I just realised
that it was probably not clear above: my point was why regret
the *decision*.
diana_coman: anyway, back
to
the lordship
thing, it's not like worthy knights can't get promoted, quite on
the contrary,
that was
the whole idea afaik
diana_coman: not
to mention
that after a point
they still...do, pretty much
diana_coman: possibly orphanages
take but
that's just shifting
to a different sort of "hard"
mircea_popescu: if work avoidance worked
that well, usgistani chemopsychiatry'd almost make sense, come

think of it.
mircea_popescu: one day
the surgery
team removed a man's
testicles by mistake.
the man himself was cavallier about it : "well... it's
that much less
to wash."
mircea_popescu: if
this were
the concern, pretty sure orphanages still
take undesired children.
mircea_popescu: stoicism is one
thing, but cynicism another. can't really mix
the
two!
diana_coman: well, *they* will have
the hardest life raising him
though; my impression was
that
they mourn
themselves, not
the child at all.
mircea_popescu: "why do constituencies regret when
their representative
teams are eliminated during
tournament events ?
they should rejoice,
their
team has
to do
the least work!"
mircea_popescu: "why do parents mourn when a retarded son is born ? verily he'll have
the easiest life of all
their offspring"
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-14 20:41:10 lobbes: Of course I'm already regretting
that resignation
thinking I did
that with my classic 'jumpy reasoning'; I
think what I really needed was clarity, which comes from communication, which has been working pretty well so far.
snsabot: Logged on 2017-07-16 16:54:44 whatisthis: yes. sell all of my stuff and contribute
to
TMSR however I can?
mircea_popescu: also,

those days.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-14 15:45:52 lobbes: hrm,
though I just
thought of another rub: my mom actually cosigned my student loans. Which means if I default
they will come after her for
the money.
Those damn octopus arms are everywhere

the only one who hasn't, and I'd like
to keep it
that way (and while *I* grok
that it is really
the state
that is
the enemy here, she wouldn't necessarily). I'd like
to let her die
thinking *someone* gives a shit about her.
mircea_popescu: make your own decisions on correctly established measurements is
the whole of
the law.

the Home Despot rents MIG welders
mircea_popescu: but also no reason

mircea_popescu: if have
to get aluminium parts connected and don't have weld shield gas,
the solution is riveting not welding.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-14 20:05:51 asciilifeform: btw
trinque ( and possibly BingoBoingo ) : what's
the barest starvation
tooling with which weld aluminum ?
