<mircea_popescu> and don't pester me with "surgical precision". the last thing a defeated and runniung away force ca do is make sense.

< my experience too
mircea_popescu: "Then the 18 bits of the GA144. Don't be impressed. It is a stupid design error. At the time 18 bits static memory chips where in fashion."
<< i happen top buy this btw.
BingoBoingo:
<asciilifeform> decimation: doubt that it's as complicated as all that. probably just straight mental mapping of the lion in the washington zoo, or even in some cartoon, to the real thing
<< Last time I went to St Louis zoo they had balding malnourished lions. Surprised local bangers didn't take them as bait for training their pitbulls.
BingoBoingo:
<decimation> yes, in general the rednecks don't give a fuck (rightly so)
<< Not just lack of giving a fuck, lack of need to give a fuck
BingoBoingo:
<decimation> yes, note that about 95% of the 'satire' is approximately 'those rednecks are so backward/stupid/racsis/dumb'
<< And yet us comparatively redder necks... Don't have urban hipster problems.
trinque: "I'd much rather my kids watch the fuck machine named Big Bird."

<+asciilifeform> them & the grapher.

jurov: same in eu. can't find washmachine with
<2 hour cycle anymore cuz "saves water and electricity"
mod6:
<+jurov> mod6 decrypt on *clearsigned* file
<< this indeed works. created file A.txt. copied A.txt to B.txt and subtracted some lines. created a unified diff of both. clearsigned the diff -- which is mutilated for escaped hyphens. upon `gpg --decrypt` of the clearsigned output patch file, i get the same hash as the pre-clearsigned hash file.

<stas@loper-os.org>"
mircea_popescu: ascii_field it's one or the other it seems. either i
