asciilifeform: (re piggy -- dun fughet, BingoBoingo , that we also will have to issue refunds to people who had refueled and then had ??? instead of reachable boxes for week+ )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: what means 'much' ? i.e. all ?
asciilifeform: at the VERY least oughta recover the week+ of dud service + security dep.
asciilifeform: ftr asciilifeform is in favour of using as much of the remaining piggy as BingoBoingo sees fit , in taking it as far as it can be made to go.
asciilifeform: !Qlater tell mod6 you presently majority shareholder. asciilifeform -- minority. ( mp is owed and also rightfully has a say. ) let's discuss asap the lawsuit.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: also you'll want to at least attempt to get that security deposit back.
asciilifeform: seems that contract atm is in '1 direction' mode, american-style, where 'you owe, and we -- uhm, nuffin'
asciilifeform: well, per the contract there was also gonna be a working pipe!
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: dun have to answer this if aint ready yet, but have you had chance to think , where BingoBoingo will go next ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i fully expect that when you show up to tear up the contract, they'll try to cook up some bullshit re the cage being in arrears . hence wai important to empty it.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if busibodies pop outta that woodwork to hinder, get'em on camera.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: seems liek already been some hindering today ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: aite. but ideally all the irons will be safely under BingoBoingo's bed tomorrow.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: here is how FGs went in machine, if this helps. if that space aint there (and in most boxes, in asciilifeform's experience, it aint) then can only put'em by e.g. forgoing raid card and using that space. or in 5in. disk slot (which most also lack.)
asciilifeform: nuffin in that rack weighs moar than a roman legionary's kit. theoretically even 1 can carry.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: bring the gurl or somebody trusted and hand-carry'em if you must.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the sooner you officially stop the service, the moar likely can recover sumthing from the orcs. tho , as mp pointed out, it is difficult to picture that we'll see a penny
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: ok. next wheelbarrow plox to rescue trinque and mod6 . then the rest, when you can.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: until what day exactly is the rack paid up ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: try to get the machines out. errything else after. don't break yer back tho.
asciilifeform: mod6: why wouldja want the raid card but not the whole box ?
asciilifeform: ( the latter largely 'academic' curiosity , but curious )
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: and, any final gasps from latech & co ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: got it. what remains in the cage ?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: know that not in erry box can one even put FG, even if orc willing to open it -- needs a pad of space. asciilifeform deliberately chose such boxes as had this space.
asciilifeform: 'lately spring broke, from cold, / like from prison, once more, / by mistake once i let out a word: / 'friend, leave a little to smoke!' / silence -- was all i heard, as he never returned from the war.'
asciilifeform: 'Нынче вырвалась, будто из плена, весна, / По ошибке окликнул его я: / - Друг, оставь покурить! - А в ответ - тишина: / Он вчера не вернулся из боя.' (tm)(r)(v. vysotsky).
asciilifeform sat down to read some ossasepia while waiting for a compile, and then 'damn, it was on piz!', and qntra, it's like having 4+ phantom limbs...
asciilifeform: diana_coman: loox like did. and just nao did again, it presses
asciilifeform: diana_coman: lemme see, 1s (pretty sure i did)
asciilifeform: diana_coman: this is tru, when i was 7yo also 'had time to think for 100d' but what resulted in was of course not worth to print anywhere ('a good bear but not a good dancer', who wants a 7yo's home-baked diode? )
asciilifeform: picture, to be able to actually think about something uninterrupted for 3, 4, 10, 100 days!!
asciilifeform: which is why when i encounter a fella like shinohai, who has 100% of his time, it boggles my mind that he hasn't built a thermonuclear dirigible simply as a side effect of basic fucking metabolism
asciilifeform: lobbes: items like this, or this, asciilifeform was able to pull off by burning 'vacation days' .
asciilifeform: lobbes: speaking strictly for self -- 'quick' jobs are quick because they (incl. 'fit problem in head' phase) can be fit into a single slot in b/w salt mine idjicies. whereas things large enuff as not fit, much moar friction. (erry time must load it in... again, again, ... )
asciilifeform will be the last 1 who is to be asked re training critter, must leave the subj to folx w/ actual high pilotage under their belt, mp & co
asciilifeform: naturally 0 cat will perform immediately when plucked from alley.
asciilifeform: they , like erry scamatron, are more interested in getting new rubes to sign fat contract than to actually service existing. ( esp. if 'new contract' is 'netflix cache' etc )
asciilifeform: lobbes: re dc and floors, this is i suspect typical .
asciilifeform: they were thought to be untrainable. but turned out that erry cat had a performance that he's willingly do. was matter of finding.
asciilifeform: fella ran a circus in moscow. with housecats .
asciilifeform: diana_coman: perhaps you will want to locate several boxes , in diff. parks. moar resistance to sudden deaths.
asciilifeform in piz tower pushed what looked like button in the lift, it fell N stories down, and hole -- razor-sharp
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: hey did they ever fix that button in the lift ?
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: seems like 9000x greater concern for their (indeed mirror-smooth, i nearly slipped on it) marble floor , than for working dc!!
asciilifeform: diana_coman: it ~always makes moarsense to physically send in a box, esp. if you have box already. costwise too.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: sorta why i dun even look at other than colo anymoar
asciilifeform: diana_coman: 'blink for 4min and reset' is very apt summary, sounds like what BingoBoingo's latech grunts did last night when asked 'wtf'
asciilifeform: diana_coman: sounds like the typical 'leper's bell' of 'we do only what's in this here 3ring binder'
asciilifeform: important to get the disks tho, the rk people may want'em.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: rk per se is perhaps the least expensive piece in there, asciilifeform for instance is sitting on a crate of 16 new ones right here and presently nfi what to do with'em
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: can retrieve it last, if you must. get the disks labeled and out 1st, they ought fit in pocket.
