pankkake: there's one in Paris, but it wasn't open yes when I ordered mine
jurov: i kinda know mike g personally... i think he knows about us, just does not see any connection with his agenda
pankkake: as for mouse design, I belive radical change is what helps. when I changed from a heavy wireless mouse to a small, light mouse, it was also better
pankkake: I have a hard time being without it now
pankkake: I have two, the one at work is in a better shape though
punkman: pankkake: saw some other ones browsing, I think I might try one that doesn't have such a steep angle. Does the Evoluent have any rubbery things that are gonna decompose in 6 months (like in the thumb rest)?
pankkake: mircea_popescu> pankkake: I like to watch things cleaning << you know why that is right ? << no
pankkake: punkman: I've seen other ones but I don't think their designs are better. I have the evoluent v3, tested a v4 and not overly convinced (but the changes are minor)
mircea_popescu: that aside, considering their burn rate and revenue stream... it'd be a miracle if twitter survives any of us here present. but then again, i don't imagine it was seriously made to last.
mircea_popescu: i don't have to keep adding rel="nofollow" on links and process their dumbass format into something quotable.
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves, lol what do i care.
asciilifeform: http://i.stack.imgur.com/5AC4Q.png
asciilifeform: i did paying work once that actually required a 3d visor. it was physically demanding.
asciilifeform: aside from a few (fortunately) uncommon industrial cases, i can't think of any reason why a computer user ought to perform genuinely repetitive motions of any kind.
mod6: i haven't run my destroyer in months.
mircea_popescu: talking of urbit, i don't suppose it stopped leaking yet, but i expect development all but ceased ?
mircea_popescu: princessnell, i don't know like what. obviously men's rights isn't the adequate outlet.
ThickAsThieves: i'm in a local Facebook group called "Free Thinkers". It's all women but me and a few of their husbands. Last week one woman posted how she was a offended that the new playground for disabled kids has a purple Sally's Music structure and a blue Billy's Hardware structure to play in.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform: i don't know much else about the fellow, except that he famously burned his u.s. passport in public. << what is the actual drawback of this ? i mean other than having to pay 100 bucks or w/e for a new one
mircea_popescu: princessnell, le suck. i think i wrote something sorta going that way recently. it must be pretty bad if it's visible from me.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i did.
mircea_popescu: fluffypony: afaik, no. but, interestingly, i first heard of him when he came to buy my urbit 'dukedom' << so invite the guy over and rate him ?
ThickAsThieves: i thought the whole universe is a trap
mircea_popescu: pankkake: I like to watch things cleaning << you know why that is right ?
mike_c: no debate necessary. i agree with parachutes.
mircea_popescu: i think if i was an actual woman of average means i'd be pretty fucking pissed off tho
mircea_popescu: princessnell, i imagine it must suck for women tho. i mean for me, w/e, i got the tools to impose change in any number of ways.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, i think you don't quite understand how these scales work
mircea_popescu: princessnell, i propose this is factual. my main objection with the "west" such as it is today is that there's just too many girls. of both genders. not nearly enojugh women, virtually n omen. it gets stale being in the junior high after a while.
mircea_popescu: o liek i tell a shill "stfu u shill" and he's all like "don' be microagressin all over my legit biz" ?
mircea_popescu: should i be worried ?
mircea_popescu: i dunno, but this mounted policeman was looking at me kinda crooked from out in the street
Apocalyptic: "Hearn, The Solution Solver - Putting more problems into your solutions since 2013" I lol'd TAT
asciilifeform: to be fair, i can theoretically conceive of a point - say, a fellow who guesses three wrong keys in front of the bunker is fed to crocodiles.
mircea_popescu: moar like something i was gonna ask anyway :D
asciilifeform: i do.
mike_c: i haven't seen mpex sponsor a muy thai night. havelock is king.
mircea_popescu: i think this is going to be generating a lot of lulz as a going concern.
Apocalyptic: " They seem to run things in a much more professional way." // I don't even...
mircea_popescu: "For a developer, working for Coinzone is lots of fun. You get to work right away on the tasks you like most, and you have the opportunity to do things “right” from the beginning. Everything from coding standards to the framework and technologies used, was up for debate and I got the chance to have a say in it."
mircea_popescu: do i now owe .1 btc per message ?
mircea_popescu: but wait. what if i have 10mn followers
benkay: i am but a bairn
benkay: i think fsf is god-tier trolling, but i haven't been tracking because you know busy and shit
mircea_popescu: unde-i ziceam io asa finut ca welcome in 2012.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: far enough that i understood that the project is going nowhere without electron microscope
asciilifeform: i put an obscene amount of time into reverse-engineering it
kakobrekla: oh yeah i remember those from going through your blog at some point asciilifeform
pankkake: you could try trackballs, too. I have one but never really got the habit of using it
pankkake: then again, it might just have been changing the way I handle the mouse; but when I bought it I couldn't use my regular mouse
pankkake: punkman: I have one, I love it. I especially like the 3 real buttons instead of 2+click on the wheel
kakobrekla: you have a pic of 3620 insides ? i dont see much on google
mike_c: a guy i knew who had bad symptoms swore by the sunken kinesis
ThickAsThieves: i do much less intensive computer usage now though
ThickAsThieves: i used to have pains and worry that i'd get it too
ThickAsThieves: i emailed her for an overview
Mats_cd03: mike_c: any keyboard recommendations? I'm trying to teach dragon so i can use it for everything but its fucking useless for coding
mike_c: given that i have big hands, a sizable mouse is a must for me
pankkake: same as mike_c. I think just changing radically can help, though of course getting things that are more ergonomic is also good
ThickAsThieves: but if you have specific questions i'll ask her
ThickAsThieves: i think that was an improvement
Mats_cd03: yeah: i sleep on my back with my arms extended, I wear a brace at night, and i take breaks regularly. its gotten worse
Mats_cd03: DotA is entirely to blame for the state of my nerves, I've probably played 8000 games in my life
pankkake: I'm quite uncomfortable with surgery on such a crucial part of my body
Mats_cd03: I guess management is a better descriptor
Namworld: I recommend cutting them off and having new hands and wrists grown.
Mats_cd03: I've been informed that 50 percent of people don't experience any change after surgery, and of the remaining 50%, only half report mild reduction in pain
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: no secret. i no longer need the machine for anything (satisfied with emulator)
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: i keep meaning to sell the entire collection
kakobrekla: atm i just wish i needed one :)
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: at one point i reverse engineered the older keyboard; then found that the newer one uses same electrical protocol
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: no space cadet. but i do have both symbolics keyboard variants (presently in crates.)
asciilifeform: there were, i think, two dozen people who solved
asciilifeform: Mats_cd03: fellow named Curt Yarvin wrote an elaborate programming language / runtime env. / replacement for dns and http. and sold namespace for substantial money. but earlier he handed out parcels of address space to folks who participated in a contest - which is where i got mine.
ThickAsThieves: <+fluffypony> http://i.imgur.com/kSfMx1b.jpg wtf?
fluffypony: http://i.imgur.com/kSfMx1b.jpg
asciilifeform: i don't know much else about the fellow, except that he famously burned his u.s. passport in public.
asciilifeform: fluffypony: afaik, no. but, interestingly, i first heard of him when he came to buy my urbit 'dukedom' - http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1352
Mats_cd03: I wonder if the bum without a country is in the Web of Trust
pankkake: I like to watch things cleaning
punkman: I wanted to make a bitbet about mp getting banned on twitter, but twitter does not indicate bans afaik
ThickAsThieves: thank you princessnell, when the bug bites me to continue the work, I'll surley be in touch
ThickAsThieves: princessnell i did get your message the other day, been sick and out of focus
mircea_popescu: anyway, off for breakfast. if you don't hear from me again must be because i was banned by some social media service and so i can no longer be heard or even exist!!1
mircea_popescu: so am i banned off twitter yet ?
mircea_popescu: and so since i'm paying for security detail anyway, might as well put this to use : let them do the same if they want to talk to me on equal terms.
mircea_popescu: princessnell, no because if i went to such a thing i'd get a set of bodyguards anyway
pankkake: davout: I was just going to point out that one, it still cracks me up
davout: i got negrated for saying "faggot"
mircea_popescu: davout, apparently someone is trying to. i was kinda shocked myself
mircea_popescu: and i dunno if d&t still does
ThickAsThieves: i was almost a Hero before i quit
ThickAsThieves: i check the forum maybe once every few weeks just in case there is random customer support needed for old stocks
peterl: I don't expect to trust the ratings, but it would be nice to see scammers come up red as I look through their threads
mircea_popescu: i think he's the only one left still putting actual plain effort into derptalk.
ThickAsThieves: i negrated some folks others didnt have balls to, but meh
pankkake: I still have it in my list, but this gives + to tradefortress
peterl: I dont just want somebody who has positive trust, but somebody who actively looks for other people to trust/distrust
fluffypony: peterl: I have positive trust there, not much but enough to get a green number
ThickAsThieves: but i have some good trust to start from
