ben_vulpes: last time
i could be assured of walking out the door and getting a tool (not part!) that
i needed was in nyc
lobbes: It took some explaining to Best Buy lady on the phone that
I a) was not looking for laptop power cord and b)
I didn't need the whole power supply, just the cord
ben_vulpes: sure;
i recently got 2 pair of tall jackstands, delivered to house, for ~.6 the cost of item at store which was even shorter
ben_vulpes: be damned if
i'm going to drive around all day on the offchance they have a thing
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform:
i somehow get 'em to leave the register and check inventory manually
lobbes: There's something to this "locals blinded by pretense fall into uselessness" heuristic,
I think

i dun recall EVER hearing "carolina is the suck" in local drawl ; but people from ohio will literally ask you "what, and you came here ?!" as if they can't conceive anyone who isn't born there being found there even momentarily.
lobbes: This was precisely my experience.
I remember thinking how *refreshing* it was to come out of the heart of pantsuitlandia (taxachusetts) where everyone was up their own ass in "we are so progressive and enlightened.", to ohio where everyone was "yeah... we pretty much suck. Sorry you have to be here" >>

☟︎ mircea_popescu: lobbes, incidentally,
i've noticed the people's subjective reported dissatisfaction is one of the best proxies for local suckitude. ~100% of romanians agreed that romania sucks, 1988, and as a result romania went from ~gabon to ~austria in 30 years. meanwhile columbia people agreed with themselves "they love their country", and columbia went from columbia to columbia in the interval. nicaragua idem.
lobbes: But teh weather here is so much better, so
I can't complain too much
I guess
lobbes:
I will say,
I've lived in New England, Ohio, and now here. And, believe it or not, imo the people of Ohio trump the usefulness of people here by a large margin
mircea_popescu: heh. it occurs to me
i've not lived in a city smaller than 1mn in YEARS
lobbes: Few weeks ago
I was trying to buy a power supply cable and didn't want to wait for lulazon to ship. Tried half-dozen local shops, both "big box retailers" and "mom n pop computer stores"; -none- had any in stock >>

i can peel a coupla bills off the roll way before anyone can a) take the card b) orient it to machine slit ; c) slide it through ; d) wait for data to run back and forth to visa servers (include here the pro-rated delay of "servers down" shenanigans) ; e) get me to "sign" like 1100 period barbarians the f) slip of paper it printed and spit out etc.
hanbot: hey danielpbarron (or any other mp-wp users with 'classic' theme goin'), assuming you're using mp's antispam, wouldja mind pasting your themes/classic/comments.php for me so
i can see how you're handling the $suffix? differs from the 'default'
i'm using, but
i'd like to include a fix for it in a comments patch.
phf: ben_vulpes:
i'd say 1/3 of image search results is with that thing airborne
ben_vulpes: take me out to the deeesert/romp around on the flaaaats/burning oil and lighting off guns/fuck all the liberals
i'm gonna have fun/cause it's root root root for the germans/if the diesels get neutered it's a shaaaaaame/cause it's one! two! three! strikes you're out in the us! penitentiary! game!
mircea_popescu: also very large cacti count as "wooden" in this sense. but
i mean gimme a break, yes wood is supposed to float, but not in acetone ffs.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, anyway, yeah, the "wood"...
i mean they have all these overgrown grasses which to ~them~ appear woody, but taking an axe to a palm is not so unlike taking down a movie set in anger.
mircea_popescu: "it will ruin your shit. literally, by which
i mean anally."
mircea_popescu: "do you drink and drive ?" "yes.
i drink -- she drives."
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes, also not the same flora here. the wood is about half-value if
i had to guess, caloric-wise.
mircea_popescu: charcoal sack is now a mandatory car trunk item. at the rate
i'm going
i might actually next buy a truck.
ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu: nono,
i exaggerate, grossly. that said,
i haven't figured out how to bake a chicken without a cloud of chicken-scent emerging and permeating the domus on every basting.
mircea_popescu:
i must say im really impressed with phuctor 3.0 webatron. sensibly more responsive than prev.
mircea_popescu:
i mean, that nut with the "mac on cheese on pizza awesum!" is actually adventurous and far sighted with reference to her peer group. sad as that may sound.
ben_vulpes: motherfucker because
i want to dump my entire heated air mass every time the girl fries something
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform:
i'll do you one just a hair more ridiculous: this place has a whole-house evacuator that "well you can just run the whole-house fan when you're cooking!"
ben_vulpes: (how the kitchen came to be without a hood is a mystery
i do not think
i shall ever understand, given that the dood ran cat5 and coax to every room. what, no women cooking in his life or something?)
ben_vulpes: interesting;
i've got to install a hood in the kitchen; so will learn the truth without any electronics.
mircea_popescu: ridoinculous beeping doohickey, too.
i was like "so... is it a boy ?"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, check me out,
i made it, security researcher now.

i like this. a numerical observatory.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> funnily enuff
i got stuck behind one of these in a little shop in BingoBoingostan : the lulz was in that the modem in the register was slow enuff that cc folx were ~slower~ than ones paying with ordinary money << Serious quality of life issue here. The awful part is the locals CAN'T learn to use the pin pads and have to try 3+ times
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, indeed.
i tell you,
i don't see it. the arguments from 2016 prevail, making the ssh-style correct imo.
mircea_popescu:
i'd like to review this,
i've been thinking about this nonsense ever since you started making noises about the ssh set.
a111: Logged on 2018-05-11 13:46 asciilifeform: nao ! at some point
i'ma rewrite it. again. and build it around 'naked' rsa moduli, and with variant types of indices, etc. but
i have nfi when
i will get a chance to do this.

☟︎ mircea_popescu:
i suspect they were wondering whether there's a dylsexic agnostic insomniac.
mircea_popescu: btw hanbot,
i noticed last night the dogs were lying awake.

I have a key with e==35! This one was generated 9 years ago on a redhat linux of that period.
spyked: ah,
I didn't think that far yet.
I wanna submit some of the ssh keys
I have lying around (or see if they were previously submitted).

BingoBoingo: Holy shit,
I wake up with FAR less crackling in my lungs AND a milestone on the path to reddit bags for the reading!
spyked: or was it 2008.
I dun remember exactly.

☟︎☟︎ spyked: (ftr, /me has read some of dood's work, he seems well-regarded by ro math/logic ppl; unfortunately too ensconced in grantola, sorta the bernstein type
I guess)
a111: Logged on 2018-05-10 18:40 mircea_popescu: meanwhile lulzdraft upgraded with a "
i think
i know his mom", also. ima go have lunch, this is a monster.
ave1:
I can bash script. But
I've never scraped in any real volume. So if anybody has hints to servers that can be used for this...
ave1: And unhappening,
I cannot find the broken keys on github... (Also bitbucket ssh-key api gives errors)
mircea_popescu:
i suppose in the end that's what phantom.js is doing anywya.
lobbes: But, once
I learn to properly represent www as ASTs we can have the beginnings of a proper republican archive
mircea_popescu: but
i mean... for what part ? plain curl will fetch the page.
lobbes: oh yeah,
I've had the automated downloading thing going for months
lobbes: yeah sorry,
I'm sleep deprived.
I remembered
I only need the phantom js shit for the -download- portion, not submit
ben_vulpes: there is, or was
i don't really care to look, something named like that in portland too: "The Open Sourcery"
