BingoBoingo: There's also this thread in log http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-10#1894828 Anyways, I do want to see auction built up. Will try to see if I can get bicycle guy into WoT. As far as brokering I don't know how much formality can/should be injected before the ceremony of formaility becomes a handicap. ☝︎
diana_coman: so in this sense I don't see what reading it does - it has nothing to do with anything as such
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if you can't resist to 'pump' the heat gradient, i'd even prefer if you bid on auction yerself and milked 'bicyclist' w/ own steam. ☟︎
asciilifeform: say one day 'bicycle' doesn't turn up. then wat. yer out x coin, and there's no fallback bidder.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-14 08:25 spyked: re. ticket machines: whole ticket infrastructure in buc (and as far as I could tell timis too) is contracted to UTI, who installed embedded shit that for years wouldn't go past the power-on BIOS screen (they used AMD CPUs with some Linux distro on top). ticket machines are a few decades away, although there are maybe three of those in buc.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-14 08:03 spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-13#1913107 <-- /me is curious re which hinterlands. has some photos from places that might qualify, but they didn't make the cut.

spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-12#1912777 <-- nope, confused customs lady just asked me what's in there and handed the package over. afaik there's a threshold for goods that aren't e.g. cigarettes that exempts them from taxes ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Could be that the dog doesn't graze the grass and instead grazes for handouts
mp_en_viaje: maybe they complain dog doesn't eat oats and hay ?
mp_en_viaje: they;re complaining people don't eat dog ?
mp_en_viaje: i confess i don't get the hipster pantsuits derping about "double standards". holy shit, of course yes ? wtf, the whole fucking point of society is double standards. the policeman beats him up, not me ; the cute teen spreads her legs for me, not him, the whole fucking point of life altogether is the double standard.

a111: Logged on 2019-05-11 22:39 asciilifeform: i wouldn't bother 'recapping' a 100bux konsoomer board, typically
asciilifeform: an' they didn't do it to http://btcbase.org/log/2014-07-07#747456 , either, cuz 'ohnoez, agro-peasants also could be 'red'! ' ☝︎
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i can't speak for erry type of orc, but in BingoBoingostan they aint even certain re what to do with ~mains current~, much less computer ( these are the people who set up indoor gas grills to cook dinner ) << Well in their language they call the mains "luz" so it does the lights.
mp_en_viaje: the idea is of course to foster communities, rather than try and find communities t o exploit.

asciilifeform: the difficulty of getting iron over the fence isn't even the worst thing, but rather 'who's to buy'
a111: Logged on 2017-05-24 21:57 asciilifeform: i'd be barfing harder if i hadn't 'seen this exact movie before', with ye olde robot
mp_en_viaje: the place he had them stored in, he got just about the time i was leaving. so my box was in the bottom of the pit. "i must've been thinner then", he says, cuz well... couldn't get into there. eventuslly managed to squeeze in, sideways, but then, once got box... couldn't get back out.
a111: Logged on 2019-05-13 12:10 mp_en_viaje: yeah, exactly why i didn't get a dslr mysle.f
mp_en_viaje: yeah, exactly why i didn't get a dslr mysle.f ☟︎
phf: i have a dslr that i got off somebody as debt repayment, which ended up putting me into a silly lock: it's heavy and not something you just grab with you, on the other hand i don't want to buy a smaller camera "since i already have dslr and i should sell it first", but then i also don't want to deal with selling it
phf: i didn't bother taking camera with me, because i didn't expect there to be any activity besides the parade, but the city was in full celebration mode
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-10#1912257 << i can corroborate the sentiment, i didn't get to see the parade directly, but saw all the activity around it ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 17:56 mircea_popescu: anyway, no theorems isn't it. there's that famous case of my driver whom my mother (who was bumming a ride) asked in shock why'd he'd go around playing valet for a 17yo. he said something like "not everyone's a big deal". man had 0 theorems to prove, but also didn't go around deluding himself on the matter.
mp_en_viaje: consider for elucidation the model of an android, which for our didactic needs is a) very intelligent ; b) doesn't need to physically eat ; c) is required to appear to the common human as a common human.
asciilifeform: billymg: for past coupla yrs i worked for folx who actually don't care where people live. but suppose it folds...
billymg: asciilifeform: if you don't mind me asking -- in that thread you made a good case for leaving the reich as soon as possible, but i've also seen threads (can't find right now) where others in the channel have tried to convince you of the same, without any luck
a111: Logged on 2018-08-24 00:55 asciilifeform: 'we saw you got 10 btc and didn't declare, that'll be 900k plz by tuesday'
mp_en_viaje: you don't understand technology, do you. it's like policymaking, what production.
bvt: well, those are devboards, i don't think anyone sells them as a serious item. but amateurs - buy
asciilifeform: bvt: you'd have to connect a real disk to have a useful trb, but otherwise i can't see why not
bvt: it has an annoing problem of producing high-pitched noise when running with ext. input devices or wlan on, but overheat happends only after ~45 min of compiling, which i don't do any more.
asciilifeform: bvt: i had it overheat ~immediately when put under load with the 'rms coreboot', so went back to vendor's ( with above patch, or can't use civilized nic in it )
asciilifeform: these won't win any speed records, but i like'em, they go years b/w downtimes no prob ( i take'em down strictly to clean fans )
asciilifeform: imho you defo wouldn't want to ffa on a post-2013 amd, or any intels etc aha
mp_en_viaje: oh, you meant it's there, it just can't be measured ?
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, so basically you're saying, for chapter 14 and that alone, it won't help ? but pre-14 and after 14, will ?
mp_en_viaje: not that he doesn't have a point, when dealing with morons gotta telegrap to the lizzardbrain. i don't speak to them either, just hands.
mp_en_viaje: if you/re gonna use the high culture style, at least have the fucking decency to have read the high culture books. wtf, can't do this reference-reference bullshit on nobodies from the colonies.
mp_en_viaje: what the fuck, SIX fuckingreferences, i don't have any single one of them. wtf is a tony cox. what mahdi.
mp_en_viaje: and you know... weeding. doesn't look like much, esp not to town girl, till she gets to do it.
BingoBoingo: Before I understood the awful pichi accents (accent clarity degrades rapidly with declining social position here) I answered all the bum requests with "Ya tengo" whether I have the item in question or not. Got the time "Ya tengo", Want Maracoña "Ya tengo", Una Moneda para comer algo "Ya tengo", etc. Don't stop scowl and eventually the pool of potential new bums runs out.
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, can you do me a solid and fish out the lafond piece where he explains how white dorks think, "black man asking for the time hasn't done any overt aggressive act, therefore can't crack him one" ?
BingoBoingo: Yeah, dunno why they didn't just go for pine.
mp_en_viaje: high resin, and some of the hoghest quality resin in the world. i don't think they can be swept manually. need a drezine.
BingoBoingo: I have yet to learn the word for chimneysweep in Spanish, but I'm pretty sure I haven't seen ads for any
BingoBoingo: Smog isn't as bad as it was earlier tonight, but it still smells like a coughdrop bondfire outside
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The cultivar in that case. "Pink Lady" doesn't sell here.
mp_en_viaje: t's not fucking half -- exactly in the sense buying one lottery ticket doesn't give you half of the tickets held by the guy holding WINNING lottery tickets)
mp_en_viaje: (this is a major kek for me whenever among "bdsm people". all sorta incels who explain it to themselves not as strict incapacity, but as selectivity, "i can't find a woman because i want a SLAVE not just a gf". hurr durr. then they figure i have two, and this means twice more than one, and hm... this local guy doing the local flabour of nursing precious cuntlets services has one... so that's half". no, i ☝︎
BingoBoingo: <mp_en_viaje> however, you can't have the house. that costs actual money. it's by utility, see ? << Other odd marginal benefit of particular linked example. Rare Quinta with fiber.
mp_en_viaje: however, you can't have the house. that costs actual money. it's by utility, see ?
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, you can have the small town, complete with serfs, and won't cost all of 200k either. hence http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-08#1911973 ☝︎
BingoBoingo: And if the grazers don't get moved in a healthy rotation pasture goes desert as in all of the old world
mp_en_viaje: sometimes i think you never actually owned real estate anywhere. this is how this works : in all places where mowing costs x, the city will fine you x * q if you don't.
mp_en_viaje: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-12#1912553 << don't be silly, r160 is 18x3, 50sqm or so. about six-seven of those (outside dimensions) ☝︎
asciilifeform: good % of the electrolytics on the shelf even today, won't give anywhere like decade of life
BingoBoingo: If only they were born here they could wear unicef t-shirts and scam the locals
asciilifeform stopped by another 'embassy expo', this time europistan. estonia pitched its 'startup incubator' scamolas. latvia had a d00d on a podium bragging about 'russian stooges cannot steal ~our~ election, won't even try any moar, we can see right through their lies, dunno why usa couldnt' etc . romania handed out samples of cheese, which tasted like cardboard, i did not taste anything in actual romania that resembled this rubbish. gre
asciilifeform: i wouldn't bother 'recapping' a 100bux konsoomer board, typically ☟︎
asciilifeform: i have nfi whether this is how 'pumpers' think (possibly word 'think' isn't even applicable) but can't say it is impossible either
mp_en_viaje: the pumpers. i dunno why, cuz i didn;t give a shit ?
mp_en_viaje: what's she to do ? she can't take the strip clubs in turns like my whores. she doesn't really want to go clubbing, it's too loud and stupid, not to mention ~dead.
mp_en_viaje: it's very much the case, that one wants to fuck 16yos, this one wants to collect guns (he sure as fuck won't use), that other one doesn't like ids this other one doesn't like intel, but in the end, out of a hundred issues each of a hundred "rebels" likes 99 just fine.
mp_en_viaje: be that one thing whatever it may be, substantial discussion doesn't usually get too far, because all the other things they not merely tolerate, but rather, very deeply believe in.
mp_en_viaje: fucking mortidifame, romanian rottinculo, "don't recommend". can even lead to bsod!!!
mp_en_viaje: and re the brains of toad : various dorks explained to me why "tjhey don't recommend amd".
BingoBoingo: "You set up a decent website? Better make sure its in a foreign land and one which isn't subject to US/EU powers. Better avoid using major payment processors because they will shut you down whilst you're at it." << Fuck You I'm already in Uruguay
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i would have said 'god's gift to piz' -- but seems like 100% of the afflicted idjits haven't half the brain of a fucking toad
spyked: asciilifeform, they advertise gigabit, but home connections don't "guarantee" that, i.e. it may go to 900 Mbps on a good day. to answer mp_en_viaje's question: the 100 difference (or 1000 - 600 = 400) may be other home users sharing the pipe, QoS policies, peering or simply natbox not being able to process (typically, the home media converter/router they provide is shit)
mp_en_viaje: i don't follow the logic ? 50 is not 1000 ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nominal reason is that the plant still exists and would Brasil even bother shipping chlorine to Uruguay (Can't risk Industria Argentina lowballing the bid).
mp_en_viaje: the government doesn't, nor ever did, either.
mp_en_viaje: i don't think a romanian anything ever delivered what was advertised. like, ever.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-10#1912285 << heh, no one ever said 'i wish i hadn't bought these vintage amd' ! ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: definitely couldn't.
asciilifeform: i still dunget why they had to mail-order a king, what, couldn't grow one locally
BingoBoingo: Unsure, didn't see in the story WTF the holiday was for.
hanbot: cheers and accolades to BingoBoingo for helping me solve my neglected blog's hiccups on a moment's notice, btw. i don't miss pre-pizarro in any sense.
mp_en_viaje: pretty lulzy, they can't cut power to bum dwellings even
mp_en_viaje: see, here's wjhat i don't understand : why oar ? should have had closely fitted rod powering a propeller of some sort, and have a reverse spiral carved at the fitting juncture
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: counter-intuitively, problem wasn't the wood (they weren't trying to, nor needed, to go kilometer under water, but only below where can be seen from victim vessel)
mp_en_viaje: nobody was fucking anyone ; and if it wasn't for the us that invented fucking via porn in the 90s, nobody would be fucking anyone today, either.
spyked: re fucking eastern girls, I wouldn't know myself, but my sources (people who worked in the hotel industry at the time) say that plenty of it happened. but more in the 90s, sure.
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-07#1911649 <-- re beaches, sq km of sandy shore relative to sea opening. tho I wouldn't be surprised if turkey had more total, afaik their black sea shores are mostly rocks. ☝︎
spyked: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-06#1911470 , http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-06#1911582 <-- lulz, went in that area but didn't notice the place. found other "cultural layers" tho, with e.g. vomit on top of old clothes on top of bottles on top of ... will post some soon. ☝︎☝︎
mp_en_viaje: now, the question isn't whether computers can think in the sense of, stand in for mp.
a111: Logged on 2015-04-26 03:21 asciilifeform: 'certain languages support serious programmers, and others don't. e.g., I don't think it is at all possible to become a serious programmer using Visual Basic or Perl. if you think hard about what Perl code will do on the borders of the known input space, your head will explode. if you write Perl code to handle input problems gracefully, your programs will become gargantuan: the normal failure mode is to terminate with no id
asciilifeform: while we're on the 'best comp is the 1 that takes off yer head to shorten the misery' thread : asciilifeform did in fact get sumthing like a working highlighting from yesterday's crock of shit . but still can't trust it to actually not fuck the job , demonstrating mp_en_viaje's point ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: like a helmet, except it doesn't protect the skull.
asciilifeform: (luckily for operator) it doesn't, lol . just like luckily for pilot, boeing doesn't have to be coaxed to depart from shitting on statue in park and fly in straight line
mp_en_viaje: i'm still not fucking agreeing with djikstra's hipsterism. "submarines can swim" from point a to point b. argentine submarines evidently can't fucking swim ; and djikstra's a fucking retard for imagining "moving through water" is a good model for "thinking". ☝︎
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, nah, it's very close to the zone where humans don't perceive color at all.
asciilifeform: incidentally, it is in fact possible to buy diode lamp that ain't a piece of shit. but strictly from chinese, and it costs actual dough, and physically large (flat heat sink, ~removable~ rectifier)
