mircea_popescu: i get it, if you're visiting
the 3 floor, 100k sqft country house of
the marquis de Q you might not be fucking EVERYONE
there.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the notion of sharing space and not fucking is almost as ridiculous as
the notion of female wearing clothes before 30.
mircea_popescu: if i end up buying it i'm so
tearing down
that shit...
ben_vulpes: on
the flip side i have a far better understanding of how linux machines boot now. so, not a particularly horrendous waste of
time.
mircea_popescu: because making a proper, 6x4 bathroom
to unite
two bedrooms is EVIL
mircea_popescu: speaking of insane idiocies. one apt i'm leasing i nthe fabulous ba has
the following INSANE arrangement :
two bedrooms, united by a 3x3 hallway, off one side of which is a 3x4 bathroom, and off
the corner of which is... ANOTHER,
tiny, 1x2 bathroom.
mircea_popescu: "i one day stumbled on
this irc channel, and it changed my life. #totallynotacult."
ben_vulpes: you neckbeards with a decade of setting up your own personal infrastructure have completely forgotten what it's like
to be a clueless noob
ben_vulpes: look here i only recently decided
to move
the
toilet out of
the kitchen okay
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: would be horrified at
the state of my internal network

ben_vulpes: and let
the fucking laptop run out of batteries 2 seconds after running `emerge dhcpcd`
ben_vulpes: i got
the whole orchestra wired up, stage3 installed, everything mounted, uefi boot boss vanquished
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform except cunt's not made out of soap,
to wear off. it strengthens
through usage.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: can be. context dependent. above usage is just assumption
that mircea_popescu can magic gurlz out of
the air in bsas gutter, river plate shores, nile and probably inside
the pyramids even
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes
this wouldn't be a result of
tarantino-cultism would it ?
ben_vulpes: well it's urban dictionary,
they're obsessed with
their betters
ben_vulpes: met
them
through a south african who coached
the greek olympic polo? dressage?
teams before greece stopped paying for niceties like
that.
ben_vulpes: have approximately zero pesos
to rub
together.
ben_vulpes: and who raise
their children on horses.
ben_vulpes: the people who live by
the river plate
thestringpuller: thing is actually pretty fast, but upkeep seems a bit high, and of course
the
thing eventually dies
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: met
the horse people by
the river yet?
mircea_popescu: yeah well. horse maintenance is a lotta work.
the whole horseback
thing is a honest signal of a hierarchical society.
thestringpuller: ben_vulpes:
there is a d00d who sold his car for horse at livestock auction where my gf lives.
adlai: recently
tlv municipality outlawed horse-driven antique furniture carts ("alte zachen"), yet another law nobody cares about

the road.
thestringpuller: asciilifeform:
this mile long column exist regardless of cyclist in my neck of
the woods
mircea_popescu: i never lived anywhere
that wouldn't have just splattered
the derp.
ben_vulpes: this is a hallmark of a miserable place
to live.
assbot: Logged on 15-01-2016 06:47:07; adlai: buy a bike, you'll learn more about
trading and addiction from not getting run over
than you will from losing money on plebian status symbols
thestringpuller: i'd rather just not sit in
traffic and get more fat,
that is one step above purgatory.
ben_vulpes: he can't imagine a situation in which people are not condemned
to his own version of hell.
thestringpuller: in peak
traffic
takes just as long
to
travel
to work on bike as by car
thestringpuller: why is everyone hating on cyclist? you alfie of all people stuck in
the horrid
traffic of DC on a daily basis.
ben_vulpes: it'll be rather easy
to
turn
that into a bloodthirsty hunt for californians alter.
adlai: asciilifeform: so amsterdam must literally be
the circles of hell for you :P
ben_vulpes: and
the cultural hatred of cars runs very deep.
ben_vulpes: ah well
those are absent and generally reserved for
the poverty stricken or physically disabled
ben_vulpes: the notion of a functional
town only mildly corrupted by cars must be as foreign
to you as an atomic dirigible.
adlai: asciilifeform: my point is
that it
takes years of working in CL
to have multiple opportunities
to use each of
those symbols
to solve original problems
ben_vulpes: oh
the endless blithering of nonsense?
mircea_popescu: <ben_vulpes> with just a
touch of retraining he could be right at home in a bike advocacy group <
adlai: well, longer
than wrapping your head around all of C or $blub
thestringpuller: maybe not for alfie who came out
the womb with a commodore64 or some shiznit
adlai: thestringpuller: if you really want
to learn CL, get used
to feeling lost because it
takes a couple years / decades
to reach all
the keys on
this piano
ben_vulpes: php and c are actually bigger pains in
the ass and less useable
than any lisp
thestringpuller: adlai: I'm already lost. I'm super n00b when it comes
to master's
tools.
ben_vulpes: i mean
traffic calming is good for children!
mircea_popescu: interestingly enough, senor vulpes understands quite exactly what i don't like about
the subculture.
ben_vulpes: but airbnb started out with
traffic calming!
adlai: asciilifeform: because
they'll mix up set, setf, get, getf, and never quite understand
the long form expansion definitions
ben_vulpes: with just a
touch of retraining he could be right at home in a bike advocacy group
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: aren't
there a million open source for 'em
to get cycled
through? each no doubt in need of deproblematizing some codebase of genderered nouns?
mircea_popescu: this is
the
traditional pathway of
the derp. spends youth being inept, adolescence being revolutionary, gets metabolized by sub-slut grade female into "family unit"
