asciilifeform: with cga.

asciilifeform: it's like driving a 'pc xt' !

asciilifeform: http://www.supermotors.net/getfile/156563/original/p1010008.jpg << ahahaha there it is.

asciilifeform: odd, 'google images' does not find the bizarre digital led (1980s!) dashboard the specimen he was shown as a boy had

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: not enough

asciilifeform: only ever seen one.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: these remind me of an ancient car i've always wanted to drive, 'ford probe' ☟︎

asciilifeform: 'don't buy a car which costs less than your computer' (tm)

asciilifeform: betcha the inside is rusted solid

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the linked ones seem too cheap to be true

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes is into vintage cars ?!

asciilifeform: 'the precious last bullet, it's not my invention; the ancestors teach us, with centuries of war...' (from ru song re: afghan. translation mine.)

asciilifeform: (or the precious last bullet (tm) )

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: cyanide

asciilifeform: but, as ought to be clear, if your 'memory palace' is not a palace but a kolhoz full of 1,001 schmucks, don't brainwallet...

asciilifeform: (read about famous 'mnemonists.' they all used some variation on this algo.)

asciilifeform: but good method for stretching your limits, wherever they happen to be

asciilifeform: so it's possible!

asciilifeform bbl

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: http://www.cotps.com/cotps-sold/i205.jpg << percussion section from a 'wurlitzer'

asciilifeform: decimation: http://www.adrianworks.com/pod/source/image/berkeley-theatre-organ.jpg << these

asciilifeform: nubbins`: perhaps when they're new? i don't think i've ever encountered one that wasn't obviously mashed to all hell

asciilifeform: decimation: i recently learned that one of the great theatre organs, 'wurlitzers,' still works!

asciilifeform saw

asciilifeform: the instrument demands it.

asciilifeform: decimation: 'not from a good life'

asciilifeform: it is still on the list.

asciilifeform: nubbins`: arrived at this very thing. but did not build, because too few hands.

asciilifeform: under toe.

asciilifeform: shoe

asciilifeform: decimation: he used a tact switch in his show.

asciilifeform: but realized that it has to be finely adjustible

asciilifeform: nubbins`: considered a gigantic version of 'buckling spring' as seen in model m

asciilifeform: (which is why 'data glove' is lunacy)

asciilifeform: not enough to just push foot against piece of shit

asciilifeform: again gotta have the click-snap

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: again, analogue

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

asciilifeform: can rest foot on it?

asciilifeform: as in, hard transition

asciilifeform: gotta be digital

asciilifeform: mno

asciilifeform: (not aware of any commercial supplier)

asciilifeform: but would have to build this

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

asciilifeform: http://s192804805.onlinehome.us/ebayimages/lister4_3_14/xl_Kinesis_Savant_AC004PF_(6).jpg << quite like this.

asciilifeform: these are proper pedals.

asciilifeform: nah

asciilifeform: (reaction time. legs - long.)

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

asciilifeform: i have pedals.

asciilifeform: which is where 'alt' normally lives

asciilifeform: i put meta on thumb

asciilifeform: then ctrl can be meta

asciilifeform: decimation: i assume you remapped capslock

asciilifeform: all model m keys, unlike later kbds, have same geometry

asciilifeform: or local junk shop.

asciilifeform: decimation: get bag of keys on 'ebay'

asciilifeform: causing overwhelming urge to visit the zoo, closer and closer to lions..

asciilifeform: would be interesting if it worked on people the same way as on rat, though

asciilifeform: overblown

asciilifeform: decimation: the toxoplasma thing ?

asciilifeform: snatch first ?

asciilifeform: (what else are they supposed to eat?)

asciilifeform: well-known

asciilifeform just realized that neighbour's car is still in its place. perhaps she... died ?

asciilifeform: but yes, equipment - largely same.

asciilifeform: etc.

asciilifeform: any geometric distortion - straight to dump

asciilifeform: i mean, off by 0.1mm - straight to dump

asciilifeform: can. but any error is disastrous

asciilifeform: need something like the apparatus used to paint car fenders

asciilifeform: it is even possible to make proper soldermask (think the green glossy coat on most commercial boards) in jungle conditions, but this, i have not tried.

asciilifeform: at least, mine does

asciilifeform: incidentally everything that is needed for small-scale (onesies-twosies) pcb making fits in a large suitcase

asciilifeform: can go, do now.

asciilifeform: nubbins`: then yes

asciilifeform: (component values help the folks doing the assembly, and has logo of maker, etc.)

asciilifeform: nubbins`: the silkscreen on pcb is largely optional

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how do i know that not a dog

asciilifeform: nubbins`: silkscreen aside, think more 'b&w photography' than printing

asciilifeform: if i lived alone, would probably have treadplate put in. as such, wooden floor. only difference in decor accounted for by pet. ☟︎

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: pet is not the 'silks' type

asciilifeform: nubbins`: you probably already own 95% of it

asciilifeform: nubbins`: surprisingly few

asciilifeform: esp. after they find the pcb etchants etc

asciilifeform: after all, who knows what a hooligan might have

asciilifeform: they might, from general sop

asciilifeform: crew will probably not distinguish mountain of circuit boards from the poor old woman's plastic bottles

asciilifeform: pet: 'realize that if we died tonight, the entire contents of this room will be carried out in just the same kind of black bags as are stacked over there'
