asciilifeform: phf: it is possible to install wiring yourself, yes. but the house will not be sellable unless you are licensed electrician.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: link in the comment is broken

asciilifeform: (of same type as the pictured one, but in working condition)

asciilifeform: which makes the entire project wholly uninteresting.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-03#1495502 << continuing re the motorcycles, after reading some moar lafond, i realized why i've never seen them elsewhere: they aren't street-legal in usa - no tags, no lights ☝︎

asciilifeform: where they ran out of where to put the dough ☟︎

asciilifeform: 'Second example. Guo Boxiong is a retired general in the People’s Liberation Army. When Guo was investigated for corruption, they found so much cash in his home that they couldn’t even try to count it with a currency-counting machine. They had to weigh it by the ton. They needed a truck to haul it all away.'

asciilifeform: 'Early in 2015, a department head at the National Development and Reform Commission was investigated for corruption. In his apartment they found more cash than they could count by hand. They got currency-counting machines so they could zip right through the counting, but they burned out four of the machines before they got a final tally, which was more than 200 million Renminbi, which is about 31 million US dollars.'

asciilifeform hates everybody but the catfolk

asciilifeform: possibly moved from the 'trailer parks' to the cheap row houses

asciilifeform: but they had a certain peculiar appearance about them

asciilifeform: oddly enough there were many white folk

asciilifeform: they were tiny, truly, could fit in a car's boot

asciilifeform: whole thing is maybe as tall as a chair's seat ! ☟︎

asciilifeform: i especially liked this kind of motorcycle that the local orcs ride, it looks like it is made for a boy, their arses just nearly touch the ground !

asciilifeform: and pretty much everything he wrote, as far as i could discern, was true.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: this thing was in the middle of ladond's red zone map

asciilifeform: anyway this ought to suffice as a general picture.

asciilifeform: ^ yes, hard-wired to the house. hence still in the rubble.

asciilifeform: and i'm not wholly convinced that it isn't a waste of bandwidth, srsly

asciilifeform: but this crapola ain't ever going on my actual blog.

asciilifeform: tired of the ad bar

asciilifeform: on the left hand side: sink trap, yes.

asciilifeform: it isn't that all of this cannot be fixed, but that the cost adds up quickly.
