asciilifeform didn't stick with it long-term, but that's a story for another day

asciilifeform once took the theory described above by mircea_popescu to its logical conclusion and bought an ibm 'green phosphor' tty.

asciilifeform: !up saifedean

asciilifeform is presently lulzing at reciprocidad.provincianet.com.ar, where he is buying a ticket to ride argentina. like it were amusement park.

asciilifeform: sorta did.

asciilifeform: cad is a bitch with raw tty, but otherwise can't not agree

asciilifeform: but the traditional '90s obsession over clocks...

asciilifeform: ;;google new macbook slower

asciilifeform: !s shrinkflation

asciilifeform: like the canned soups that are more and more water by mass each year

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not afaik. looks more like 'shrinkflation'

asciilifeform: saifedean: except that it's a transparent scam, i, for instance, have the highest grade 'insurance' publicly sold in my locale, and it still offers nothing like the conditions found in civilized world
