phf: only reason i'm
trying mm7 is because setup seemed easy (and it is. stock wine 1.9 works in software rendering)
phf: that's
the
thing, once it starts pushing 3+ hours for setup i'd rather be hacking on cmucl or similar
jhvh1: shinohai:
The operation succeeded.
phf: i'm not sure i have any
that fit
the sweet spot of "beefy machine from 2001"
phf: oh, blarg. well
there's a range of late 90s laptops on ebay still. i'm not sure if i'm ready
to spend
time on
the whole
phf: nah, just wanted
to play mm7 on my mac. if i was building nostalgiatron, i'd just put a windows 95 on it,
tbh. if i don't put an x60
to good use, i might just
that
to it
phf: oh i just needed
to switch it
to software rendering. it's still smooth af but all
the artifacts are gone
mircea_popescu: the car can handle a little snow just liek
the cunt can handle a little octopus
pete_dushenski: g-wagen idem. or wait, you cascadians only drive subarus and
teslas eh.
ben_vulpes: this car was
thirty
thousand dollars it can handle a little snow okay
pete_dushenski: sounds like
the whole
town forgot
to put winter
tires on
their bikes.
ben_vulpes: my northern friends have such fond
things
to say about
their local statal monopoly
ben_vulpes: or, even better, when
there is only *national* ins corp
ben_vulpes: lmk when i don't have
to pay for useless insurance any more
pete_dushenski: "In October Duterte compared himself
to Adolf Hitler and said he would be “happy
to slaughter”
three million drug addicts. He later apologised for
the Hitler reference but said he was “emphatic” about wanting
to kill
the millions of addicts. Since his election, police have reported killing 2,086 people in anti-drug operations. More
than 3,000 others have been killed in unexplained circumstances,
pete_dushenski: time frame a smidge. my first draft was every bit as correct, if not moreso in regards
to
the commencement of his influence on markets.
trump ain't rollin' in no horse 'n' buggy and no one's waiting
to read about his acceptance speech via pony express. it's 2016 dawg and news
travels like you wouldn't believe.
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes nah, see i ~let~ you pretend
that it's still 1860 and
that it
takes
the president-elect 75 goddam days
to
travel from his midwest farm
to dc, instead of, y'know,
the president-elect having his own boeing 737.
the
trumpreich started in
the wee hours of november 9th 2016 regardless of when he
takes
the keys
to
the new shack. i just
thought i'd give you every chance
there was, including narrowing
the
mircea_popescu: ah. well make sure your wine's over 1.6 or so, pre
that
their vc emulation is ~shit.
phf: yeah, i was
trying
to use straight wine, but
there's apparently "play on mac"
a111: Logged on 2016-12-15 02:29 pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i haven't won quite yet. i let ben_vulpes change
the
time window
to only include
trump's exact and official
term, not
the
transition period, so jan 20 and four years onwards.
mircea_popescu: use wine 1.9 series
though. are you using it via play on linux scriptage ?
phf: mircea_popescu: did you have
to install any of
the original windows blob dlls
to make graphics not-screwy?
mircea_popescu: cleric needs personality doesn't need int and sorc vice-versa. so
that respectively works magic.
phf: mircea_popescu: "take everything out of Might and Personality/Intelligence respectively, pump up Personality/Intelligence respectively and Speed" is
that what it's supposed
to say?
mod6: nice day for a walk down past
the canal
to
the park.
mod6: tomorrow is supposed
to be 83 in BA.
jhvh1: mod6:
Time since last block: 33 minutes and 59 seconds
mod6: they've had hockey down
there for quite a while
mod6: The Atlanta Flames moved
to Calgary in like 1980...
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: are you
talking georgia us or caucasus ?
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: it was a
time of 'progress'. old
traditions had
to be downgraded. ex nihilo 'traditions' upgraded.
phf: not sure what
they do
to it, but pretty sure
they can run it in summer
mod6: and if you're not willing
to spend
the cash on
the air cooling,
that can make problems.
mod6: air
temp in
the arena matters
too.
mod6: im sure it has probably a lot more
to do with how
they operate
the refrigeration system
than anything
mod6: pete_dushenski: yeah, i can imagine
that florida has horrible ice.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: 0 'religion' other
than 'stalin is god'
too.
mod6: i always wanted
to moonlight as a zamboni driver
mod6: yeah, i hope
they're out
there
tonight.
mod6: but if
they do it like now at 0,
then give it a chance
to go into
the deep cold, you'll end up with reall excellent hard ice.
mod6: if you
try
to flood
the rink when it's -25 like
that,
the ice will
turn out
too brittle and get
this weird horizontal fracturing... coming off in like sheets.
mod6: nice. i need a new stick,
then I'm ready.
pete_dushenski: ya, never needed it
till
this winter when i lost my beloved u/g heated parking. still adapting.
mod6: i hope
they flood
the rinks
this week.
pete_dushenski: thankfully
there is a splendid and ultra-cheap service called 'ama' here and
they'll boost even
the most frozen cars with what must be 1000amps, up
to 5x per year for $80
mod6: when my old man was a kid, out on
the farm he would put hot coals from a fire under
the oil pan in like a '40 pickup
to get
the oil viscous enough
to crank it over when it was cold like
that.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: -20 is no prob. it's -30 or -40 with windchill
that's
the issue, even with old merc.
mod6: so,
the batteries don't do
that great in
the cold. but
the real problem is
the antifreeze. plugging in
the blockwarmer runs current
through
the antifreeze so it won't freeze.
mircea_popescu: mah old mercs never had
the issue. of course... diesel. but certainly only shitty chino batteries froze.
mircea_popescu: hm. i dunno man, cold start in -20 ambient was a solved problem in
the 90s.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: it's usually
the battery, not
the engine.
mod6: yeah, it usually helps
to plug 'em in, especially if it gets down below -25 deg. F.
pete_dushenski was rather annoyed
that his fleet wouldn't start during recent cold snap. fists were shaken.
mod6: when it gets
that cold for a number of days or whatever, getting back up
to 0 feels nice!
BingoBoingo: OMG, almost at
the -40 convergence point mod6
mod6: too cold
to shoot birds even!
phf: "And when
they discover he is Jewish? “The Chinese
think we are
the smartest people in
the world, after
the Chinese,” he said. “They say, ‘Very clever, very good at business.’ It’s an honor
to be Jewish in China.
They say
they would like
to imitate
the Jews.” Among
the best-selling books in China
this year were “The Jewish People’s Bible for Business and Managing
the World” and “The Jewish Way of Raising Children.”"
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> ah
those are
the journajews. << Like mouse can mean "quiet girl with glasses" or actual vermin
mircea_popescu: he does a lot of
this "name everyone, use half". republican dork on capitol hill also named, s.b.'s aide.\
pete_dushenski: so musk named
to
trump advisory panel.
too soon
to declare
tod on
tesla perhaps. or
trump has short squeeze on full blast.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: i also have a solid 2" added
to height atm. 'manbun'.
pete_dushenski: lol. being chinese is so fucking opposite of being a jew i don't even know where
to start. number 1 selling book in nigeria might as well be "how
to raise child like a norwegian"
mircea_popescu: when i was a kid my hair was like 5% of my height and i got pix
to prove it!
