mp_en_viaje: im sure it's mentioned, just can't find now where
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, not much more than, my grandmother was school mistress, participated in 1950s ro campaign to likbez ("liquidate analphabetism"), various dudes begged to plox, can't just work the school fields in lieu of sit in class ? will fix fence ? door ? anything ?
BingoBoingo: Most recent counsin to enlist went Marines because that's what his dad did. In and out of special education alternative schools up until he signed the enlistment contract. Made it through basic/follow on training with honors. Presently hoping the don't keep him floating in boats half his contract like last counsin that went that route.
mp_en_viaje: it's like "suppressing talking". it ~might~ not let other party think ; but it sure as fuck doesn;t let YOU think at all!
BingoBoingo: Dispute isn't even over pay. It's a dispute over management's plan to stop inviting child/teen performers to sing during drawings.
mp_en_viaje: yes. but historically the folks running the ovens don;t tend to be the brightest. compare with the rwandan genocide actual ambulatory butchers, aslo beleived all sorta beleifs.
mp_en_viaje: i recall there were excellent reasons they didn;t do that, but i don;t now recall what.
mp_en_viaje: nobody cares it can punch holes in concrete 100m away if it can't punch through leaf 3 cm from muzzle
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-30#1939214 << actually, longer barrel exists chiefly for accuracy, not per se for speed afaik. the tradeoffs are friction/tear driven losses on one hand vs bullet stablization on other hand. speed/eenergy per se doesn't actualoly figure as such because very easy to fix / maximize / not even desired as max generally
diana_coman: I don't quite think it's the right approach even, tbh
asciilifeform: and presently can't think of how could be made to work as intended. possibly sync will have to remain per-chan.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: observe that the example tape you linked , contains only #t, cuz indices are per-chan and no other chan has advanced to anywhere near 1937934
diana_coman: asciilifeform: I don't quite get what problem are you trying to solve with this tape knob?
mod6: Not much to even blog about at this point. I basically just showed up, handed in my laptop & sec badge. "I don't work here any more. kthxbye."
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-30 04:02:51 mp_en_viaje: c) the jews themselves are, obviously, as inconceivably stupid as always, i won't belabour the point of these morons, who finally got to make themselves a country and made it red-tape sovok socialism atop turkish legal system ffs.

diana_coman: hopefully I didn't forget anyone.
mp_en_viaje: https://archive.is/VERxz/ea03d0cd7f309d68285653e8626362cd2ec2d46e.png << wtf, the verbiage to go with that is "He had a muscular body builder’s build and an attitude. His piercing brown eyes below dark bushy eyebrows and thick black mop of curly dark hair gave a clear message, “don’t mess with me.” He was quiet and intense with a masked sense of humor until provoked, and then watch out" ? wasn't my read at all.

snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-29 19:22:28 BingoBoingo: The NATO caliber standarding also happened during that time where the soft-serve consensus was the next fight will be nuclear so its possible there wasn't much concern over small arm supremacy
mp_en_viaje: "oh, any man's wrist will be stiff after emptying a desert eagle magazine" "dude, if you've emptied the magazine you're a war hero, wtf, you killed two platoons" "no you don't actually hit" "what ?" "you miss, see" "why the fuck are you shooting then ?!" "isn't that what you do ?" "yes dumbo, it's what i do. it's not what you do, get lost."
mp_en_viaje: if you don't know who you're shooting at you don't have grounds to be shooting.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-29#1939063 << yup, entirely wouldn't change anything about it even today. .45 is perfectly fine for standard issue / crowd control, .50 in zirconium loadout is perfect for armored / hardened targets such as any moron self-centered enough to wear a vest, helicopters / "armored vehicles" in urban settings etc.
mp_en_viaje: but it sure as fuck wasn't some retard from passau.
mp_en_viaje: c) the jews themselves are, obviously, as inconceivably stupid as always, i won't belabour the point of these morons, who finally got to make themselves a country and made it red-tape sovok socialism atop turkish legal system ffs.
mp_en_viaje: item is just one of the lulziest bits of a huge bundle of historical evidence deeply inconvenient to the pantsuit socialists, because it quite clearly proves hitler's purported antisemitism as not merely a received idea, which didn't belong to him personally anymore than the notion that the string "sun" is how you describe the closest star belongs to you,
BingoBoingo: There's a shop here that produces a single shot .50 BMG bolt action for the local armed forces, because Ministry of Defense doesn't want to pay the tarrifs
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: .45 ACP came about because .38 just wasn't doing the job against Pinoys
BingoBoingo: The NATO caliber standarding also happened during that time where the soft-serve consensus was the next fight will be nuclear so its possible there wasn't much concern over small arm supremacy
BingoBoingo: Well, this isn't the US. Could be a Brasilero or Paraguayo product of Jungle Industry. Or could be Industria Defensa de Argentina
billymg: mp_en_viaje: "I want to add here a link to that "they live meaningless lives" cartoon thing, which is already in the footnote of a relevant Trilema piece, which of course I can't find." << http://trilema.com/2014/that-aint-the-maslow-pyramid-yo/ and http://trilema.com/2014/fred-quimby-and-ancient-evils/#identifier_5_53722
mp_en_viaje: turn't off da robinette
mp_en_viaje: if that didn't drift, why do you think this did. needs some heavy argyments.
mp_en_viaje: this neatly doubles the "great progress of ourdemocracy -- life expectancy". if you inflation-fudge the data to include babies, you get the numbers you want ; but if you don't you end up with much better everything, by letting most kids die rather than carrying them on the books pointelliottly.
mp_en_viaje: insanely obscure folk sicilian, while deeply irrelevant culturally, is still rewarding enough one wants to figure out wtf is mp's quote maritari bs even about. meanwhile quite interesting culturally hungarian fails to interest anyone -- and this mostly because terrible notation connotes horrible phonetic balance (which isn't even the case)
mp_en_viaje: t get, "gentleman and scholar". even if he;'s a waiter
mp_en_viaje: and damn, now i can't find the joke in the log anymore ;/ "don't worry, itll fall off once it dries"
mp_en_viaje: of course, this can't happen if you have writing, that'll preserve the two as distinct rather than creatively merge them to save on memory space
snsabot: Logged on 2019-08-27 11:43:20 mircea_popescu: i specificalty recall describing this situation in munchen whereby i took cab driver all over bars, trying to find some with decent seating, didn't find any, at end dude was like "well, there's no more left on the list, you have to sit here" and i was like "bitch, i dun have to anything"
mp_en_viaje: there's the two liner above linked ; there's another one line in a discussion of another film. but i clearly remember taking the time to discuss this over paragraphs, i just don't remember where the fuck
mp_en_viaje: and the annoying part is that i can't apparently find now where i discussed in detail the relationship between "noir" as the form of cinematic expression and the sadness of abandoned counterfit-urban male youth (not REALLY urban because too new, like in new york).
mp_en_viaje: so they don't understand "how the news relates to them"
mp_en_viaje: crime doesn't pay ; and working for the socialists is the capital crime.
snsabot: mats last seen in #asciilifeform on 2019-09-26 16:35:48: when i have something concrete to report it'll go into #t
mp_en_viaje: i mean, even if someone gave you a free chevy vega -- it still wouldn't make economic sense to try and run it
mp_en_viaje: 3rd item lacks entirely outside shots, which makes me suspect it's in a building that'd have been bombed in ww2, except it wasn't in active war theatre.
mp_en_viaje: 2nd item i don't even know what to make of. seems someone literally poured some concrete, made a sort of post-wood outhouse. i dunno how it is even a house at all.
mp_en_viaje: this isn't euroinsanity. the item is too far gone to be worth repairing, what.
mp_en_viaje: right. which... i can't imagine it will.
mp_en_viaje: it makes a huge difference this, between being the 70yo who walks to the bar and the 70yo who can't leave the house.
mp_en_viaje: so i don't expect uruguay market will ever find price. instead, the "properties" will just decay into the ground
asciilifeform: right, asciilifeform's contention aint 'dafuq, this can't work' but 'well it clearly worx, i simply dun know precise mechanism'
mp_en_viaje: and if you cut those, it doesn't eg, drag by a leg.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: i recall the spiders. wasn't necessarily a sphex tho, there are other wasps that 'smarter' and will throw exception and stop looking for the caterpillar
mp_en_viaje: it's this : "what i do doesn't work" "do something else then" "no." "well what ?" "it must."
mp_en_viaje: "wut" "motherfucker. the world your granpa lived in didn't in fact exist" "lies"
mp_en_viaje: "dude... you think the world is like your basement ?" "yes" "it won't do anything." "NO IT MUST"
mp_en_viaje: now, suppose at this time word comes from on high that ... sorry... that's it. we don't know how to turn it back on.
mp_en_viaje: see ? that's where it classifies in my head. "to do as before" "dude... they're not doing '''as before''' not cuz they don't wanna, the port is sanded"
mp_en_viaje: of course the asswipe then disavows it. THEN disavows it. and even pretends like the then is "instantly". but it ain't fucking isntantly, there's a space. first he lies, then he disavows.
mp_en_viaje: no, that's it. "turnipping doesn't work BUT I CHOOSE TO ANYWAY. BECAUSE IT MUST. BECAUSE I SAY SO. BECAUSE I AM GOD"
asciilifeform: 'kulak' story is moar usually 'hey the derps keep showing up to borrow money, what, i shouldn't , why exactly? they wanna buy me a 5th horse, why not let'em'
mp_en_viaje: and every single kulak doesn't tell the same story, of "what choice did i have".
mp_en_viaje: which is my point -- there are two distinct and perfectly distinguishable populations. the plebs aren't the highwaymen.
mp_en_viaje: but cossack wasn't fucking farmer anyway
asciilifeform: for completeness, 'what did they then do' wasn't always 'eh same thing as grandfather, try to pull turnips from mud', but sometimes instead brigandage
mp_en_viaje: the whole idea was that livestock being worthless, moving it across the land was just a waste of fuel, so don't get the indiana livestock working on your farm in alabama.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: similarly to alabama, i.e. not far. cuz it wasn't as if they escaped on motorcycles , ha
mp_en_viaje: "well, whether it must or it mustn't is irrelevant" "down with the king!"
mp_en_viaje: fucking hell, go fucking discovering america. raise rabbits. what the fuck, "what we always did doesnt work" "do something else" "no, we just want to do what we always did" "but it doesn't work" "it must!"
asciilifeform: but can't make noble house from scratch w/out equipping it w/ peasants. so 'wat-do'. was resolved in favour of something quite like ameri-slavery.
mp_en_viaje: spend same ~5 bux on a 3 hour campari, except doesn't have to get fat ass off couch. sits in car.
mp_en_viaje: it delivers a "young dude with a car" at their door. which is what the orc female dream is anyway. now they don't have to go to club.
mp_en_viaje: dispatch doesn't even have two way link anymore
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-26#1938390 << but you can't. because it's raining. or because "the game". or because fucktard "can't find the address". or because etcetera. the contemporary 20yo, always and everywhere the driving force of this job (if never the demographic majority) is not mentally capable,
asciilifeform: iguess it wasn't from 'empty space' that the robotic cabs crackpottery began to seem appealing
mp_en_viaje: it pains me to say it, but it's a fact : cabs aren't really a thing anymore. uber-stupid now.
mp_en_viaje: i used to own cars i mostly wasn't using, on the idea that "whatever, nothing wrong with owning it, can always set it to cabwork"
asciilifeform: rright but you wouldn't want to isp in kew .
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 13:11:29 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we weren't even in hruscheba, but in the 19th-c-converted-to-kommunalka . still 100% square walls.
diana_coman: well, tbh I wouldn't consider it "accepts btc" if not; but yes, that's why I wrote it black on white.
spyked: initial investigation shows that that indeed shouldn't be too painful, probably along the lines of wp_insert_post for each post. will still take some manual labour to verify that posts display well, but that's not burning, so I can do it as I go along with other work.
ericbot: Logged on 2019-09-26 11:50:37 mircea_popescu: think abougt it, isn't a priori post something you'd want ? :D
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: granted you won't be building a secondary dc in the garage, with gsm, but oughta suffice, i suspect, for work
BingoBoingo: That doesn't get spotty until leaving city limits.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, there's also taxi strikes ~every other month. Taxis don't run on holidays except by prior arrangement.
diana_coman: ah, now I see it re thimbronion.com - he tripped over his own feet, didn't he; fwiw he got told off for it and he fixed it; anyway that "plan" needs revising.
asciilifeform: asciilifeform's brother won't even read naggum : 'i hope that bastard is roasting in hell for helping with sgml'
mircea_popescu: and if it doesn't, i daresay the problem's not your slaves.
mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-26#1938308 << this isn't nearly as universal as all that. going by my own practice, sometimes i paraphrase, sometimes i footnote... but the whole discussion's more a case of "when bird flies, wings move, why not airplane". cuz not everything's a bird, what.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, font doesn't do what you think (not addressable) ; table is clunkier div. can do either of course, up to you.
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-26#1938241 << suggestion here wasn't that speakers literally paste the quotes , as in heathen days, but that the ~current~ 'paste log link and see bot echo' get transformed ~by www viewer~ into the pictured form.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-26 04:44:35 mircea_popescu: ie, if "selection doesn't work for me" "why not ?" "because what i want to select recurs", give some thought whether indeed "selection is broken and should be fixed". WHY do you want to select something THAT RECURS, and recurs so much it actually doesn't allow you to extend the context slightly, one character at a time, resolving your problem ?
mircea_popescu: or to put it another way : a logger confronts the dilemma if whether to sync with history or with other loggers. i don't believe there's need for a rule, it can stand as such.
mircea_popescu: not that i'm against sync-able loggers. but i don't believe all loggers MUST be thusly.
mircea_popescu: the owner doesn't have to specify WHO is his lordship, because the bot just looks at who he rated 9.
mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-26#1938151 << there is such a thing implemented, specifically in the auctionbot spec for #eulora (say your line on the hour but only if there's been chatter since last saying). something very similar can also work here, "a new day starts when there's been silence for x time"). while clocks drift, they don't also diverge, not on the sort of scales here contemplated.
mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-26#1938140 << you're approaching this from a very bizarro view where you don't seem to be aware what blogs are.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-26 00:13:24 lobbes: re: two or more mp-wp loggers agreeing with each other; I'm not sure they would ever need to agree with each other in terms of links... IF not indexing. In other words, each instance of a mp-wp logger and its output becomes indistinguishable from any other blog post on said blog. (in other words, if you don't care to sync, or don't care if "missing" lines, then not an issue)
mircea_popescu: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-26#1938134 << can be "easily fixed" in theory because it was dumped in mechanically ; but won't be easily fixed in practice because fu, i'm not changing trilema articles once published.
