ben_vulpes: first hundred and seventy only paid out
to satoshi iirc.
ben_vulpes: getgenerate returns
true, but fGenerateBitcoins is 0 at boot
BingoBoingo: And we are not
talking 80s merc motors unless pete_dushenski, we are
talking 90s honda motors of which
there are LEGION!
BingoBoingo: Oh, I
thought you meant "will car stop when I press pedal" misread
pete_dushenski: as someone who just oversaw ownership of early 2000s lexus is300
that put on 40k km in a year, i'm not sure i'd recommend it unless you're pretty handy. not hard
to work on, but parts aren't super cheap, it's a bit dicey in
the winter, it's a ~very~ firm ride, and it's soooo hard on consumables (gas and oil).
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Max cost of brake work on such a vehicle
tops out at ~900
to ~1200
to replace entire "make car stop" system.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: 'getinfo' is
telling me '0 hashes per sec', which is
troubling
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: In
that case you want a 90s honda civic or 90s lexus 300
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: when booting anode in 'solipsistic
test network' mode with gen=1 and genproclimit=some reasonable fraction of local cores, i should see a few cores go
to 100% utilization immediately, no?
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i've generally had very positive experiences with it. 95% excellent drivers. 75% decent cars. proper
taxi flips
those
two figures but also costs 20% more and wait
times are unreliable.
ben_vulpes: which is particularly amusing, as
this stamped material is designed
to line up perfectly for
the whole run
ben_vulpes: and maybe 2 boards out of
the whole 150' house length per row are matched at
the ends
ben_vulpes: so
the vinyl, stamped-with-wood-grain siding showed up and was applied
to
the house
ben_vulpes: with
the new monstrosity abutting
the property line next door, i
think i've finally bumped carport up on
the list of shit
to build
pete_dushenski: location information is shared and can adjust
this at any
time in your device settings." << from latest version update. one wonders, why only 5 minutes ? why not perma-on ? perhaps "coming soon" (™). also,
this is alf's alterna-car!
THIS!!!1
pete_dushenski: "Uber relies on location services
to ensure safe and accurate rides. In
this latest version of
the app, you’ll now be asked
to allow location information collection from
the
time you request a ride
through up
to five minutes after it ends.
This helps identify better pickup and dropoff points and helps customer service if you ever need
to contact us about a
trip. You’ll always be in control over what
ben_vulpes: fwiw, i find car-swearing-time doubles as excellent design/thinking
time.
ben_vulpes: "this dress
took me
thirty minutes and
ten years
to make"
BingoBoingo: What about STFU buy used screams rich folk? If 2005-later cars suck
the solution is buy older!
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: well,
tbf, you put all your rust ~in your house~ with all
those old pdps and alphas. at least we put ours in garages.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform:
toyota
then. lexus if you sell a million fuckgoats.
trinque wonders if after USocalypse, he
too will
think everything is
terrible.
ben_vulpes has several hondas,
they are precisely
this.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: dude, walking out your front door is 'travelling
to some shithole'. and no one will bring new car
to you! so might as well live a little. remember how fun chicago was ? or ba ?
ben_vulpes: shinohai: all
the more room for cleats and helmets
shinohai: Oh gawd ben_vulpes ...
the
trunk on
those
things can sleep 6!
pete_dushenski:
http://bringatrailer.com/auctions/ << plenty of solid, well-cared-for metal for under 10k here alf. as
the lots cover
the continent, you can even make a road
trip (blog story!) out of
the adventure. also gives you a chance
to play autions without playing eulora.
BingoBoingo: Put on a camper shell and you have a FUCKGOATS
transporter
ben_vulpes: "you know, babe, instead of a single car
that cost 35K, we could have.../35k of cars/"
BingoBoingo: If $2500 dollar car lasts 5 years averages
to $500 per car/year. Would
take much unexpected bullshit
to make expensive.
ben_vulpes: possibly 'lemon' if you can't get in a car and hear mid diff wobble, possibly lemon if you don't do
the sale at a dealership and pay 100 for
the safety inspection before purchasing, possibly lemon if all sorts of 'civilian'
ben_vulpes looks at 04 pilot about
to crack 200k outside
BingoBoingo: Car is not lemon just because it
turns 13 years old. In Cuba car is still young at
that age!
ben_vulpes: neighbor of mine was whingeing about
the cost of
the light rail, "o noes it'll never pay for itself" "my man, it got me
to move
to
this neighbhorhood. give it a decade and you'll make
the difference up personally with home value increase."
trinque: ben_vulpes:
this among
the
things I miss.
ben_vulpes: i don't
think it's quite as simple as 'brew install eulora', although it was close
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: once a very long
time ago
ben_vulpes: trinque: recent 'snowpaclypse' affected me /not one whit/, as i could stroll
to
the
train and be in city center more-or-less on domenad
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: have you
tried installing eulora on a mac ?
trinque: PDX is perhaps one of
the best places for
this.
trinque: if I were in an area with
trains I'd go without a car for a while. wouldn't be
the first
time.
ben_vulpes: for some,
there are few joys like burning petrol with friends.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile here, cab from city end
to city end is like 20 bux
pete_dushenski: trinque: what has
two
thumbs and loves
the car shopping for other people game ?
this guy!
BingoBoingo: How much is one of
those garage sized "self storage"
things go for around your parts?
trinque: it was just old as shit and drove in
too many different climates
trinque: vw wagon finally gave up
the
timing chain ghost, also exhaust blew into coolant system
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
Then assemble
the best of
the parts into best possible car sooner?
trinque actually in
the market for new vehicle as of yesterday.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes eh,
the command codes are inconsequential. i mean
the rsync.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: anyways, don't get hung up on initial capital outlay, even if you're
thinking of financing.
tco (total cost of ownership) is
the name of
the game. ask ben_vulpes.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Just get
two more identical cars for parts!!!
mircea_popescu: gotta be moar patriotic, alf. buy gm, help
the great again along.
ben_vulpes: of
the rsync-alike? somewhat.
the fucksticks, i do not see.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
Then why seeking 8k new auto
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> eh bull. you've got $8000 hyundai and mitsu shitboxen. << Maybe in Double Norte Americano, but in Single Norte Americano
those left in
the 1990's << is mexico null norte americano in bb's paradigm ?
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Anyways
the solution
to
the "wheels for alf" problem is he needs
three 1990's Lexus IS 300's from which
to construct a one superior example.
