a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 22:28 mircea_popescu: the principal impediment to republican logging, atm, is that nobod yucan be arsed to write a html de-fucker ; there is one already written, by the archive.is dood, which spits out zips. the solutions then are either a) piggyback on that, which alf has (irresponsibly) been trying to obstruct throughout, and in the laughablest of manners or else b) make own, which will without exception require making own, and RIGHT NOW, not "n

mircea_popescu: diana_coman ah, cvas as the rusian notion wasn't contemplated.
mircea_popescu: diana_coman i expect the reason drunks aren't as bothered by puke as the normal human is that they're so used to it. so a direct link might be that the women that habitually drink aren't nearly as likely to clean it up.
