t default. Maybe I'm foolish but I like to keep my word. Plus, virtually everyone else in my family has backstabbed her / cheated her to some degree, to which she never became bitter about, but instead just put them out of her life and kept on working
mircea_popescu: if have to get aluminium parts connected and don'
t have weld shield gas, the solution is riveting not welding.
diana_coman: I'll chew on that some more (and maybe I won'
t want to strangle hope all that much anymore).
mircea_popescu: not because it'd be hard to implement, but because it creates a "decision slot" in the minds where there needn'
t be one.
mircea_popescu: for historical lulz : /me actually
put the kaibosh on a romanian wanna-be news outlet back in the day for exactly this sorta misbehaviour.
mircea_popescu: i don'
t instantly see the benefit of an alternative. some things do not benefit from alternative, eg a knife which first has you "select which side to be sharp" is a worse knife that is sharp on one side.
mircea_popescu: conceivably you might want it because your castle's so immense, you can'
t take the whole firehose.
diana_coman: mircea_popescu: re logs.ossasepia.com/log/ossasepia/2019-09-11#1002089 - I still see the point for *different* thresholds in different places; ie 9 is peer everywhere but in #
t it's only peers that may speak while in #o it's everyone who didn'
t get thrown out.

trinque: but don'
t take me as presuming to speak for anyone.
trinque: and the whole point of social topology that isn'
t dot and flat line below, is that "maybe >0!"
trinque: I don'

t care. jfw get at me and give it a try while I'm at battlestation so I can see wtf. also next time say how you're attempting so some amount of useful activity can take place async
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-14 15:58:06 asciilifeform: lobbes: in re elderly relatives ( and asciilifeform also has some ) -- if you have the budget, and they're reasonably portable, you can try to evacuate'em. bitter pill, but gotta point out, lotsa folx went to the ovens in prev. reich who otherwise didn'
t have to, because they did not come up with a timely decisive cut of this knot.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Indeed. And the common folk in this part of the world get put to the screws because they measure inflation primarily against the dollar. "dollar doesn'
t move"
mircea_popescu: doesn'
t take much, either -- be unemployed, as most grads are.
diana_coman: ave1: a script to set the flags seems fine with me; I don'
t really see any other sensible option either.
mircea_popescu isn'
t specifically any kind of usgistani expert, hasn'
t visited in nigh on two decades by now, hasn'
t cared to for same interval also.
diana_coman: or I suppose "won'
t help if you don'
t ask" ; doh.

mircea_popescu: this ain'
t a proper need ; and will get no support. it's what the "need" in there denotes, rather than the plain need.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-07-28 19:01:07 mp_en_viaje: as per
http://btcbase.org/log/2018-05-01#1806991 tradition i don'
t even have enough information to distinguish between the case where "phf bleeding to death in a minsk ditch" ; "phf in love forgot all about world" ; "phf kidnapped by unreported alien invasion" or literally any other alternative. nfi how to approach it, either, tried everything i could think of.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-11 13:20:48 asciilifeform: diana_coman: i wasn'
t there, at the tea table, so can'
t say. but fwiw i suspect he thought 'already written off' .
mircea_popescu: then how do they get voice ? oh, you don'
t intend to put it in yet ?
diana_coman: splitting into separate key doesn'
t yet make any sense to me
mircea_popescu: and i can see the "hey diana_coman if you dun wanna rate johnny 9 then don'
t knight'him" ?
mircea_popescu: nothing wrong in principle with giving numbers names, i guess. at least, human practice to date hasn'
t found it so far.
diana_coman: fwiw it wasn'
t just /me reaching for "hm, that might fit in this here hole"
mircea_popescu: i mean, i see the merit, but isn'
t this rather tcp-style overloading of adhocisms ?
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-11 13:19:15 asciilifeform: diana_coman: no, i actually buy your summary, 'd00d wouldn'
t fucking talk'. but i'm also willing to ask ~why~ didn'
t talk ? maybe because erry time he opened the door, there was a beating behind it ?

t mircea_popescu: and THIS is what's meant by "if you hang out with retards you'll become retarded" : dude spent so much time with the ustards, he is now behaving like a stupid cunt. his discovery of having fucked up doesn'
t lead to "omfg, i fucked up SO BAD". it leads to "oh, republic is abusive".
mircea_popescu: i don'
t expect anyone can actually talk to alf who isn'
t both very intellectualyl lively and has a lot of experience talking to alfs. which technically is the definition of autism, i guess.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-11 12:20:12 diana_coman: asciilifeform: that wasn'
t at all the issue and it has been already pointed out to you several times, here and on trilema.com
mircea_popescu: that's why he's the lord of over there : so you don'
t have to be.
mircea_popescu: and if he doesn'
t, yes, very much exactly beheaded in the same way for the same reasons.
mircea_popescu: Yes, obviously, as per long standing republican doctrine (and standing as such since long before this particular republic was even declared) the lord can get away with bloody murder. Of course he can. But this doesn'
t mean it's not murder, or not bloody."
mircea_popescu: the only law is this : that if you don'
t want to have to write 3600 digits, don'
t fucking start with 1337!
mircea_popescu:

mircea_popescu: and like this in everything -- man will say "i can'
t fucking sit on all this, people will spit on grave IF ONE DAY IT HAPPENS i'm incapacitated".
mircea_popescu: to continue "publication-phobic folks" thread : difference between mouse and man is that moue will eat itself into overweight to the point where can'
t, famously, get back out through the hole it came in.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, standard wasn'

t need to explain the difference between your logger which diana_coman 's running now and phf's alleged logger which, for all anyone knows, consists of one mechanical turk who meanwhile got sad / ran away.
mircea_popescu: whatever, just as soon as it was even vaguely possible one might've had some use for it. and this is ~deeply unsexy~, mind, i ain'
t publishing boihood-conventional "cool stuff & frank zappa" here. i'm publishing the most shameful thing known to the wankastery collective, and then end up having to "battle" nonsense of "oh, mp is intellectually stunted, can'
t install linux" because of it
mircea_popescu: ^ link above should be alf's "only so many lines of code within before madness", but i can'
t find it.
mircea_popescu: one
can't quite make fleas in the lab as things stand right now, so in this utterly jeffersonian view the ploughsman's the only true scientist.
mircea_popescu: but yes, to say it plainly : i don'
t agree phf was some kind of technical monument or example to be followed. making things that work does not enact one into such ; observe that every frog makes things that work, extremely fine things that work extremely well, viz the very fucking frog in question. yet a frog that can breathe is an ordinary frog, not an exceptional engineer.

mircea_popescu: the reason rotards didn'
t do, incidentaly, is not wisdom but idiocy : so many
completely iliterate attempts to "systematize" lang, there was no fucking need or rather, practical possibility of directed activity like you're describing
mircea_popescu: "without much effort" isn'
t meaningful. "in one week of six hour days". something.
spyked: that might work, actually, given that the fonts don'
t ever change
ossabot: Logged on 2019-09-06 21:37:44 trinque: probably the situation was that most times server doesn'
t ping if client has already.
mircea_popescu: or rahter, if. incidentally, there's some way to read smart data ? i get oyu don'
t use the buttholes, but locally there still is a way yes ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, yeah, isn'
t light log a pleasure on tired eyes!
mircea_popescu: was fully expecting russian to pop in at any moment. didn'
t see it ; but the topic is very central to rus' nationality research, a mirror of the novgorod-constsantiniople trade, this slavic over-the-danube thing. so not all hope is lost.
dorion: it seems to me the latter is more straightforward, but that doesn'
t means it's better.
mircea_popescu: (long story short, eugenie grandet of the colonies really really wants to impress le petit monsieur vane-charles, if not with a bit of cold pheasant for breakfast then at least with some gossip circle fireworks. needless to say the local bureaucrats weren'
t impressed with any of it.)
