decimation: asciilifeform: did you get it
to work as 'ps/2'?
decimation: the 'model f' I linked appears
to have 'meta' key
decimation: heh. I wonder if
that's a serial output
decimation: at any rate I like
that keyboard for sale, lots of reassignable keys
decimation: asciilifeform: interesting
the 'me.com' and 'mac.com'
decimation: the natives have
the same racket here, and also in canada
cazalla: but even if you're 1/8 abo, you can claim extra assistance from
the government, so according
to
the census
there are more abos
than ever before
decimation: no, I
think mircea meant
the people who are willing
to
trade hard assets
to
the chinese in exchange for paper and promises
cazalla: meh,
they aren't really any abos left anyway,
they are all half bloods at best
cazalla: yeah, bow and arrow ban in
the pipeline
too
decimation: mircea_popescu: how do you
think
they will be described by chinese historians 1000 years from now?
decimation: heh oh yeah I forgot
they
took yer guns
too
cazalla: with no guns, having
to spear or
tackle a roo could get you killed, fucking
things kick
cazalla: birds might be easier
tbh plus
the abo word for budgerigar is good eating
cazalla: decimation, aussies like
their meat, pet food or not
mod6: trinque's script & help got
this pos up and running on gentoo hardened w/uclibc finally.
mod6: omg and we have grub
that works...
cazalla: so i imagine
those people with mortgages will soon eat chum (dog food) if
they are not already
cazalla: i'd like
to
think it will end soon as i don't see how people can be squeezed any further at
this point but asciilifeform reminded me
that
there is still much fat left
to be
trimmed
cazalla: yeah,
they can buy citizenship here
too for 5 million so
those clever chinese were giving
the AU gov 5 million, borrowing
the 5 million back from some chinese lender and
then using
that
to buy 5 million in property once
they got here
decimation: yeah I agree with mircea, it sounds
to me
that
the chinese have bid australia
to
the moon
cazalla: might set you back 50k for
that
cazalla: you can go cheaper - abandoned mining
towns - but
then you have
to deal with fucked up water and environment
decimation: but it sounds like
that's already been priced out
decimation: cazalla: yeah I guess my point is
that
they could start a new city
there
cazalla: decimation, and rural.. as in
the middle of nowhere, you are still paying more (100k-200k)
than american suburbs
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron nope. it's supposed
to have been fixed like
three revisions ago o.O
cazalla: decimation, so
to go rural, you need enough money
to own it upfront and enough
to last you for however long you may live
assbot: Logged on 13-06-2015 02:50:34; decimation: where does all
this money come from? is it because people bid up AU$ because of
the raw materials?
cazalla: decimation, ah but
there is no work in rural australia and if you are on welfare and move from an area of high employment
to one of high unemployment, you get cut off
danielpbarron: speaking of which, is
the leaky
treebark flask design supposed
to be blank?
decimation: cazalla: I guess
the most rational response would be
to coordinate groups of people
to move away from
the dense cities and start new living areas
cazalla: decimation, here it is almost like every generation has
to work
twice as much for half of what
their parents had
assbot: Logged on 13-06-2015 02:30:18; danielpbarron: in
the future, someone can specialize each step of production
decimation: in
the us
the effect is worsened by
the fact
that near most major us cities you need
to have dual incomes
to 'earn' a spot in a decent school
cazalla: i don't even know why
they do it
tbh
decimation: yeah
that's how it is in most of
the us
today
too
cazalla: today you need both parents working full
time with no kids or if you have kids, 1 or 2 at most put into childcare so
the mother can pay half her wage for someone else
to look after her kids while her other half goes on
the mortgage
cazalla: decimation, yeah most people are slaves.. 30 years ago it was possible for
the average sole income working father, stay at home mum
to buy a 1/4 acre block in
the suburbs and raise 2-3 kids
cazalla: mind you,
that is pre-tax salary
decimation: wouldn't such a couple
then be poor if
they
took such a 'deal'?
cazalla: quick look
then shows working couple who earn 50k each can borrow almost 700k
decimation: they've clamped down on lending in
the us
decimation: people have
to have income
to qualify for loans
cazalla: low interest rates, deposits are given
to kids from boomers, chinese investment and
truckloads of negative gearing ensuring people have 4-5 investment properties
decimation: where does all
this money come from? is it because people bid up AU$ because of
the raw materials?
☟︎ cazalla: decimation, at least
the shit homes are somewhat cheaper
there.. here you pay a cool million for place with no front/back yard made of straw
decimation: cazalla: I
thought only
the us built shit homes
decimation: usg's breach is significant -
they lose personal information on people whom usg asks
to keep secrets
danielpbarron: and
then you can have left-click right-click and shift-click drop varying amounts
danielpbarron: for example, when clicking a stack of items > 1, it should just pick up
the whole
thing by default
danielpbarron: is it possible
to make
the inventory interface more like
that of minecraft?
danielpbarron: in
the future, someone can specialize each step of production
☟︎ danielpbarron: it's annoying now, having
to click so many
times
to do stuff, but I understand why each step is separate
danielpbarron: i haven't played a game
that's like
this in a long while
mod6: now if
this kernel would just hurry up...
mod6: everyone else is at
the club, making it rain
mod6: im
the only guy in eulora right now
danielpbarron: my laptop overheats and
the game goes at 3 fps but
that doesn't really effect game play yet
danielpbarron: 1 of
them isn't much; you don't get good results until it's mostly maxed out
danielpbarron: i can sell you a stack of
the item
that gives you it :D
ben-of-the-casca: re eulora, dpb, ive found rocks and scratches mostly by looking for
things further away
than
the bushes are rendering
mike_c: mircea_popescu:
that one isn't ringing a bell, but it looks fun :)
mircea_popescu: "it sucked because
their keys kept jumping off and you'd lose
the dumbass ballpointpen springs "
mircea_popescu: "Mai erau CIP-urile, pe care incarcai interpretorul BASIC de pe caseta, era nasol ca resetai si iti lua
timp si incarcarea lui. In plus ii sareau
tastele in permanenta, si pierdeai si arculetele de pix din ele, se rupeau piciorusele de plastic, era aiurea."
