Trump on a 28.8 per cent chance of victory, it’s almost unbelievable
that
the race could be so close, given
the consequences. A Russian puppet candidate with shady business affairs who hasn’t disclosed his
tax returns,
Trump has spent his campaign alienating minorities, horrifying women, offending religious and military voters, and having his career of awful business behaviour paraded in public.

torture

time now, out
the window, across
the yard
ben_vulpes: unrelatedly, el pequeno
took his first steps at his one-year birthday/halloween party while i was on
the back porch smoking cigarettes
ben_vulpes: well, using anything other
than illustrator for vector work is very stupid for precisely
this reason.
ben_vulpes: "NO
THERE IS NO REASON. IT IS PURE ARROGANCE AND DISREGARD FOR OUR BOXES."
ben_vulpes: from other parts of
the room: "i'm sure
there's some highfalutin' CS reason why -- "
ben_vulpes: NEGLECTING COMPLETELY
THE OTHER PROJECT
TARGETS
ben_vulpes: "o i see you have a
target, i'll just swizzle
these files around and source-to-source
transform all
these other files"
ben_vulpes: but let me
tell you about how well xcode <latest> upgraded
this swift 2 project
to swift 3
ben_vulpes: "The feature was so great

ben_vulpes: no but i also don't call

ben_vulpes: only
tangentially relatedly, cheech and chong scrubbed

☟︎ ben_vulpes: i'd crucify
the architect who

to
tell me
that an ionian column could sit aesthetically o 2 inches of plinth.
ben_vulpes: you don't even have a steel work
table outside?!
ben_vulpes: in any event,
the controllable kiln/oven should be achievable.
a111: Logged on 2016-10-31 17:27 asciilifeform: i always wondered if
the very sad infrastructure in washington, a kind of frozen-in-time 1970s
theme park, is at least partly on account of
the expectation
that anthill will be leveled 'any day'
ben_vulpes: seat of government from which eisenhower edicted
that roads will be laid
to all stoops
ben_vulpes: 's how we did
the bearing races on
the fin can.
ben_vulpes: if yer really strapped for cash, get a propane "poofer" and a laser
thermometer.
ben_vulpes: get a
temperature controllable oven, start with soft steel and harden it per
the kindergarten heat
treatment
tables
ben_vulpes: what /are/ you cutting with
the laser?
ben_vulpes: and you're doing
this with a laser why?
ben_vulpes: some of
those
teeth are very odd looking.
mod6: shinohai: *nod* yeah lot
to
think about.
shinohai: Not bad here, on standby for
the regrind and other
things we discussed. Lots of
thinking on
the new
trilema from
today.
mod6: It's not a huge leap
to get
there anyway.
mod6: I like
the idea of private projects
too. Gotta dig into
that maybe.
mod6: For sure. I do like how I can use
the
tickets
to
track discussions
thus far
though. Saved
the foundation from needing
the stenographer.
mod6: Yeah, some of
these could be a bit reviewed/reorg'd
BingoBoingo waits for inevitable
Trilema of
that
title now.
BingoBoingo glad satoshi called it
the wallet and not
the purse. Imagines "How
to cut
the purse strings" on
Trilema.
BingoBoingo: Make Great Great Again: "You’re hardly irresponsible with your funds. You’re saving a decent sum of money and working on paying down debt. As for your company: It sounds like it won’t be a lifetime job. You can easily permit yourself
the spending on your cat." <<
https://archive.is/thWwo BingoBoingo: Anyways Make Great, Great Again. A bunch of hillary supporters burned a black church and wrote "Vote
Trump" on it
to mobilize
the black vote.
BingoBoingo: Mad Dog doesn't really count anymore since
they "rebranded" with blig.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> basically,
the whole medieval period lived on hobo wine. cheap, sweetened, etc.
the exact
thing, midnight
thunder or w/e it's called. <<
Thunderbird, Night
Train, Mad Dog, Wild Irish Rose, and Cisco. RIP Ripple.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes cognac, ie
the first distilled spirit, is about half a millenium old by now.
mircea_popescu: (note
that medieval beer has no hops, as a result doesn't keep, it's a lot closer
to braga
than what passes for beer
today)
mircea_popescu: very likely correct.
though some northern monasteries did brew beer.
shinohai: I always imagined
they were drinking Night
Train in
The Name of
the Rose.
mircea_popescu: except in
the north where wine dun grow
the poor drank beer.
mircea_popescu: basically,
the whole medieval period lived on hobo wine. cheap, sweetened, etc.
the exact
thing, midnight
thunder or w/e it's called.
mircea_popescu: depends,
they drank all sorts of swill. including jerez port absynth whatnot.
ben_vulpes: and not even
the high proof stuff at
that.
mircea_popescu: especially if you define "drugs" as "what
the people who
think gay = only fucks men would
think drugs are"
ben_vulpes: no, i'd say
that "historic drugs" fits quite nicely into
the same
time window as "gay = only fucks men"
mircea_popescu: would you say a woman
that also fucks plastic isn't heterosexual ?
mircea_popescu: well,
the notion
that gayness is incompatible with
that IS very much a late 1800s
thing.
ben_vulpes: and you'll say
that my cursory research finding
that he slept with a few ladies
to be entirely wrong?
ben_vulpes: i guess
the argument kinda falls apart on 'historic' grounds, 'gayness' not being much of a
thing pre late 1800s
ben_vulpes: what historic drugs are we
talking about?
mircea_popescu: historically gayness was mostly used for drug dealing in
the first place.
