mircea_popescu: ie,
to
the bureaucrat's mind, HE is
the only one entitled
to be in
the world (on account of his job)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo and i expect reddit admins don't now self ban for

pete_dushenski: i came across
thorne a few years back when a friend bought me a collection of his stories
pete_dushenski: quite
the little spread between bid/ask on mpoe
these last few days.
pete_dushenski: "I know someone who contracted Ross River Virus several years ago and he needs
to be pushed around in a wheel-chair, moaning
the whole
time about his joints and inadequate ramp access. I visited him in his ground-floor apartment once but it was a miserable and forced conversation so I
told him I had a present for him in
the car and went
to get it.
Then drove home."
pete_dushenski: "I have also heard
that music soothes
the savage beast but
the last
time I sang Whitney Houston's 'The Greatest Love of All'
to my offspring, it had
the opposite effect despite what I considered
to be an excellent reproduction of her
tonal range." << combined with dog/bear in jeep and... i died !
mircea_popescu: Regardless of whether you waive
the fine or not, and despite conditional
terms added
to reassert authority, I will continue
to secure
trash correctly.
mircea_popescu: anyway, copypaste has it. "adjusting
to circumvent
the rules" is more empowering of
the idiots
than actually following
the rules. NO. let
them go hang with
their rules.
BingoBoingo: Basically copypaste pointed out reddit users are cuckolds who just
take it
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: copypaste
twatter'd it as an image
mircea_popescu: i can't read
that fuckin ss. can't it be a log in
text format like with sane ppls.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: also "as
the most popular Bitcoin gambling sites of
the
time." << mixing singular and plural
pete_dushenski: "the fledgling accountless Bitcoin gaming site Satoshi Dice lead it
to a long reign" << BingoBoingo wordiness aside, it's missing "and"
pete_dushenski: in other news, inflation strikes mozilla : "Mozilla has more
than doubled
the cash rewards under its dusty bug bounty
to beyond $10,000."
pete_dushenski: "on our phones. in front of
the mirror. while sitting on
the shitter."
mircea_popescu: "at
this sacred
time of
the year we go back home
to be by ourselves)
pete_dushenski: in
the 20-odd other versions i checked, all
the others linked
to
the expected file
assbot: Want high-end flight sim pedals? Put $500 in a Polish bank account and contact Slaw | Ars
Technica ... (
http://bit.ly/1JHZK1q )
pete_dushenski: i also found
that
the winbloze "firefox 29" links
to...
the exact same mystery file
mircea_popescu: and
the spartans
took breaks from
their wars
to go back and celebrate... hyacinthsmas.
mircea_popescu: all
this, a good five
to
ten centuries before jewish sect split off.
mircea_popescu: so
they had a festival (hyacinthia) which
took
three days, and
the first was mourning, and
the 2nd celebration over
the alleged rebirth and so on.
mircea_popescu: specifically,
this was a very accomplished youth
that was disputed by
the sun god and
the wind god, and favoured
the sun god. so
the wind god arranged for something
to fall on his head.
mircea_popescu: and in unrelated stuff : it is perhaps known by
the esteemed audience
that
the (mostly) lacedemonian cult of hyacinth most likely provided
the backing for most of christianity's christ-centric mythology (as opposed
to its mary fixations).
mircea_popescu: (the yak, although long haired, is still a sort of cow, rather
than a sort of bison)
mircea_popescu: unlike
the case with eq. africanus / eq, caballus,
the offspring's not usually infertile.
mircea_popescu: and bos sp (ie, cows/oxen of all
types) hybridize with it.
mircea_popescu: bison bison is one
thing,
the us buffalo. bison bonasus is
the european guy, like
the one discussed above.
BingoBoingo: Wild Bison release still largely verboten for
the same reason
they were eradicated.
Transportation issues and can't let
the Sioux get a foothold.
nubbins`: i
thought you guys called em buffalo
assbot: Logged on 11-06-2015 13:33:12; asciilifeform: unless 'bisons' refers
to another species altogether
nubbins`: this is like
the analog equivalent of a room-sized Moog

the point was
to save on labor - 'one man band'
nubbins`: nice click. i

they bounce like crazy
tho
decimation: but used
to be common in everyday 'talkie'
nubbins`: i've got a box full of
them somewhere
decimation: asciilifeform:
they are now associated with 'black church music'
decimation: not only
that but ranks of pull-switches
to change voice
decimation: go
to a church with a proper pipe organ and see
decimation: on
the other hand, organists play entire keyboard with feet
nubbins`: asciilifeform put some levelers under
the spring mech so you can raise/lower it
decimation: what about
that guy who did
the card-counting scam in
the casino
decimation: without
tactile feedback for when shit 'breaks'
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know you could prolly hack a gravimeter off an old "smart"phone and a sock
together into an excellent pedal.
nubbins`: kick drum pedal w/ clicky button under
the hammer.
mircea_popescu: toe pedal. like one of
those clickers people use
to count crowds ?
nubbins`: asciilifeform
those look largely inefficient
decimation: nevertheless,
the key feel of a real model m is suprerior
to unicomp
decimation: but
timing on
the 'volume control' in
the piano isn't quite as critical
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform probably because
they're shitty whole foot pedals
mircea_popescu: the REASON it didn't use
to be available was pure expense, but now every xbox comes with em
