asciilifeform gives up trying to unravel this mystery, goes back to actual wurk
asciilifeform: and how does it relate to what some idiot sow did ?
asciilifeform: is this a reference to the old AUTOVON 'flash override' button ?

punkman: "But the safety vest the actor was wearing under is robe is believed to have risen up across his neck, strangling him. "
asciilifeform: how did they go about, i might ask, 'determining why the man did not attach it' ? with a seance ?
punkman: I guess the easy way to do it might be a harness around your armpits
asciilifeform: 'The character Judas hangs himself in the musical, but the harness protects the actor. Investigators were trying to determine why the man didn't attach it.' << good timez
asciilifeform: 'Fareweel, ye dungeons dark and strong, / Fareweel, Fareweel tae thee. / MacPherson's time will nae be lang / On yonder gallows tree. / Sae rantin'ly, sae wantonly / Sae dauntin'ly gaed he / He played a sprig and danced a jig / Below the gallows tree.' (tm) (r)
asciilifeform: (so many puzzles. e.g., is a 'long drop' hanging typically also filmed with a doctored noose? or a dummy ?)
assbot: Logged on 07-11-2015 16:11:21; asciilifeform: i find the subject of 'theatrical noose' interesting. how does it work? are there multiple schemes? have there been notable historic snafus with this device ?
shinohai: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-11-2015#1319215 <<< asking those burning questions others dare not ponder .... ☝︎
asciilifeform: (properly hanged, that is)
asciilifeform: i'm also at least vaguely aware of at least one case where a prisoner arranged to be hanged on a theatrical stage, as part of a performance

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=07-11-2015#1319176 << when i ran into the linked film, i sorta assumed that something went wrong and at least one of the gallows birds really did hang properly. was very disappointed to learn that this was not so. ☝︎

mircea_popescu: the fat fag sucked. these harpies ? really, 0 interest, what else is on ?
shinohai: So how is Scarlett Johannson gonn go from hot to tumblresque ?
punkman: "The book, Crash Override: How To Save The Internet From Itself, is a memoir", "Pascal Pictures won the bidding war for rights to the book, and Scarlett Johannson is circling the project, apparently very keen to play Zoe." ☟︎
shinohai: ;;later tell mod6 v99998 tests passed all boxes, tested the < 5.12 perl on all then installed proper.
BingoBoingo: "STEM is soooooo last decade. FAG is the new science.Fatminism, Arts and Gender Studies will train a new generation of educated young womyn and allies to compete with the likes of Asia."
mircea_popescu: this entire anonimity bs never made any sense to me
mircea_popescu: i confess to being slightly obsessed.
punkman: I feel like I've read that one two dozen times
mircea_popescu: or how giving women money fucks up media for everyone. now they gotta cater to what women want, too, and since what women want is probably somethign stupid and without explosions in it, you get two anodyne fagboys to replace harrison ford, at 1/4 the pay each.
mircea_popescu: your feelings-- but because criticism makes women want to be more private-- and the privacy of the women is bad. The women have to be online, they do most of the clicking and receive most of the clicks. Anonymous cyberbullying is a barrier to increasing consumption, it's gotta go."
mircea_popescu: "Keeping in mind that actual stalking has never been dealt with in any significant way ever, the desire of a few female writers to curb online anonymity wouldn't be enough to get an @ mention, except that this happens to coincide with what the media wants, and now we have the two vectors summing to form a public health crisis. "Cyberbullying is a huge problem!" Yes, but not because it is hurtful, HA! no one cares about

asciilifeform: for the next go-around.
asciilifeform: in hk or teheran or kiev, wherever
asciilifeform: turned out that usg's cia and dept of s. only had so many bag lunches to pass out to idiots sitting and blocking streets
asciilifeform: same place as the hongkong attempt 6 mo. ago, presumably.
asciilifeform: where did this go, anyway.
trinque: hopefully his mother is on call for the code brown with fresh undies.
asciilifeform: 'Inasmuch as, you are one of the most influent persons in one of the most talented community (Hackers) in the world, I humbly ask you write about Iran and what’s going on there. Please tell the world that Persian people are fight for freedom ....'

trinque: plenty of eye candy over there; I did various machine press, curls, that weighted rowing machine
trinque: pretty great; my tmux session now supports utf8 hieroglyphs
BingoBoingo: trinque: How was the up and down?
BingoBoingo: But he was the bad guy just as he is when he does drag as rachel.
BingoBoingo: Eh, it was one of those masked hero movies so if he didn't die and asked for too much money they could have replaced him.
BingoBoingo: Both. I think his big role this year was as a giant robot who gets killed by a purple dildo.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck is rachel maddow
mircea_popescu: "I'm pretty sure that's Charlize Theron, not Scarlett Johansson." And I'm pretty sure they're the same person, and just because now she's Rachel Maddow doesn't mean she's serious.

BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> who the fuck came up with gyms and why the fuck would you want the women working out outside the home. << To bring grief to the Mayogendered with a demonstration of gender. Also squats build booty.
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> BingoBoingo: 2 legs good, 4 legs better ? or what was it... << In the end it reverses as the pigs become nearly indistinguishable from the humans, except fatter. ESR in that pic seemed to have bagged a descendant of "napoleon"

mod6: The release email will outline the changes.
mod6: thanks asciilifeform. forgot to mention that the new tmp gnupg dir is working well also.
mod6: still on track to sign and release v99998 this weekend.
mod6: new code changes seem to be working good with manual testing; tested a bunch of different scenarios including if one does not have Graph::Easy installed, or if one has a version of perl less than 5.12. Working good there. all automated tests are passing.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: it is very interesting in all the wrong ways
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: consider reading the src to gpg
mircea_popescu: l poison your toothpaste. Be careful: the point is not that a woman shouldn't post her baby pictures, the point is that the system cannot profit from her baby except as a photo, so that in order to get them to do it more-- to be online more-- the system teaches them to overvalue the photo; and this must necessarily be at the expense of the object itself. #porn."
mircea_popescu: "In the world where the media postulates social media as an absolute requirement of the modern era-- the era where everything is fetishized-- no one is permitted to make the distinction between a value and the picture of a value, they are made equivalent, so daring to criticize Randi's baby pictures is made to sound like misogyny or misobaby. It's not. I love food but if you ask me to look at a picture of a food I wil ☟︎
ben_vulpes has just rediscovered that gpg doesn't handle filename wildcards gracefully or at all
mod6: because the 'each' keyword isn't supported.
mod6: This version will also have the change where Graph::Easy is not required unless you invoke v with the `g' or `graph' command
shinohai: Does this one not require Graph::Easy ?
pete_dushenski: 'need to find a fitness instructor worth banging while you're at work'
pete_dushenski: 'need a reason to get out of the house'
mircea_popescu: who the fuck came up with gyms and why the fuck would you want the women working out outside the home.
mircea_popescu goes by, sees asscrack moving through the doorcrack.
mod6: in the process of testing that change as well as the change for the temporary gpg directory.
mod6: asciilifeform & all, I've added one more change to V for the forthcoming version of 99998: People have been letting me know that if their system us using a version of perl less than 5.12 that it's been causing problems. So i've added a statement that requires a minimum of 5.12.

pete_dushenski: too busy eating popcorn and chirping to be on stage
pete_dushenski: audience has ideas too, but so what
pete_dushenski: and who can say that their ideas are their own ?
trinque: that he should be tall or short or have a flagpole in his ass was not and was never his idea
trinque: pete_dushenski: I see two things there: a deep, pervasive obedience in human beings and a total lack of sane input
pete_dushenski: it requires demanding and excruciating physical therapy."
pete_dushenski: "Surgeons break the leg bone in two and implant a state-of-the-art telescopic rod into the middle of the broken bones which then pulls the bone apart very slowly, about one millimeter a day. New bone grows around it and tissues like the muscle, the nerves, the arteries, and the skin, regenerate as well. At about $85,000, the procedure is expensive and the process lengthy. It takes at least three months to complete it
