they are sf houses, for a large family, or 5 roommates (+
their poorer, semi permanently present partners).
they have small-ish backyards, where you can have a small coup
a111: Logged on 2018-12-06 21:17 asciilifeform: asciilifeform's most recent livestock-keeping ancestor died during reign of hruschev , so sadly cannot eruditely add
to chicken
thread
mircea_popescu: "what, am i goiung
to defect now ?
these muppets have it worse
than we do". stanculescu in moscow, signing mig purchase, 1984.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-22 00:48 mircea_popescu: depends. 80s were insufferable (but, according
to eg stanculescu, still better
than ru). 70s were supposedly great. 60s ro was ahead of
the post-war pack, but still... europe. even
the french had malnutrition.
a111: Logged on 2018-12-06 21:14 asciilifeform: it's somewhat funny also because asciilifeform's parents, 3 decades ago, went
to ro also for clothing/shoes
phf: they are sf houses, for a large family, or 5 roommates (+

☟︎ phf: asciilifeform: it's a
thing in san francisco apparently, saw it in
two different
tech komunalkas
diana_coman: asciilifeform, you know,
that sounds like good-old commie style: it's banned, but local police will close eyes for so long as x
phf: diana_coman: my great-grandparents were all moved into
the city by
the
time i was a grownup,
they could only recall
the olden days, not really demonstrate
them
diana_coman: I got
to know my great-grandmother and she lived in
the countryside, in
the plains
too (where it gets scorching hot in
the summer and bitterly cold in winter)
phf: diana_coman: heh,
the chicken in a fur hat story was passed on in my family also
diana_coman: not as if
there's no choice of fur hats;
those remind me of
the old one in which my great-grandmother kept newly hatched chicken
to keep
them warm, lol
diana_coman: milk and sprats, such care; where's
the caviar :p
phf: this one is gost 280-2009, i'm not a visual machine at
the moment
to
track it down
though
phf: asciilifeform: i've noticed
that with some of
the products here, a lot of
them have GoST as a kind of branding, since i suspect it's barely regulated, but
the quality of substandard.
phf: diana_coman: i've updated all
the available sigs
phf: there's a dozen of different brands for both, i'll have
to sample
them all until i figure out
the most authentic flavor
mircea_popescu: !!rate l0de -1 yet another one of
these, "uluitii pulii mele".
lobbes: yeah, on second
thought ambiguity in a language is not really a good
thing huh
lobbes wonders if
this is actually a bug in
the english language. Closest word I could
think of
to denote both "to/by" was "via", but
that does not really work in
this case
lobbes: (for
the curious: I had overlooked
the fact
that when a "buy"
type auction ends
the usual messaging (e.g. "...Item SOLD
to Person for...") had
to change
to reflect
this (i.e. had
to change it
to "...Item SOLD --by-- Person for..."))
lobbes: I just made a
tiny fix
to auctionbot. Everything seems
to be working well and I don't anticipate any problems. Still, I'll be around for
the rest of
today in case
there are.
mircea_popescu: previous attempt of something like
this was probably aafia siddiqui. it ~cost
them afghanistan, in any practical sense.
BingoBoingo: But not as brassy, and dude did go
to
the Somaliland of Minnesota probably expecting
to visit Nordic America
BingoBoingo: I believe it is
the 1st
time
they stole one from
this China
a111: Logged on 2018-12-06 19:01 mircea_popescu: generally children end up spanked
through
this process where
they fail
to adjust
their delusional ideas of
the world fast enough.
mircea_popescu: the cookie didn't "walk in"
the cookie jar.
the cookie sat in
the cookie jar where it belongs, and
the future spankee stuck his hand in.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-18 17:54 asciilifeform: ( 'stierlitz walked on
the streets of berlin. mueller recognized
that he was a soviet spy, but not because of
the ppsh machinepistol clumsily slung across his shoulder, and not because of
the parachute he dragged behind him, but because of
the maker
tag on his waistcoat, 'bolshevikess', which in
typical russian slopiness had not been
torn off.'

☟︎ BingoBoingo: Girl was doing business stuff in Canada, and
then Canada kidnapped her for extradition
to New York
BingoBoingo: China's already
talking with aggression. No archive links
to English language publications for misrepresenting
the abduction as a kidnapping across
the board.
mircea_popescu: 19th centuries "wars" (in
the don pacifico or agadir crisis sense) were started for less.
mircea_popescu: tw works just fine. say when you got
the mtp
thing, i suspect we'll have some
t for you
to do.
mats: i believe
there is an equivalent for hk, but my intentions are
to stay in
tw, due
to familial contacts in
the area, as well as comparatively lower cost of living
mats: once i have my
tw passport, i will be able
to apply for an MTP (mainland
travel permit), which will allow for 90d stays in china proper
mats: flights are surprisingly cheap, LAX
to HKG nonstop (roundtrip) is ~$500
mats: i also expect
to have no issues acquiring a
tw passport, and will be available for republican business if its asked of me
mats: after some false starts, i've made arrangements
to briefly return
to hk in
the spring and begin
the process
to acquire a permanent id card, after applying for
the right
to abode, which should have no issues as i was born
there
mats: my apologies for
the delayed report. i attempted
the esp8266 experiment with a rigol ds1054z, only
to discover
the standard probe isn't sensitive enough
mircea_popescu: holy shit
the patience i had back in 2016. and good fucking riddance.

that, mod6 ,
tbf now has 0800 number.
a111: Logged on 2013-11-16 18:59 mircea_popescu: "I am an executive assistant by profession, but I have worked as a stripper and escort in
the US."
mircea_popescu: "the republic with dead mp", as it were. i fail
to see
the difference between
trotskite dewey, derais-ite cowley, or wtf was
that lulzy irc channel...

trinque: drug users (see: g_l) do
this, go around declaring doctrines like lisplinux-chimera god and inventing pegleg rituals of devotion
to her
a111: Logged on 2014-07-19 03:16 mircea_popescu: so,
this poor unfortunate soul found herself living her parent's dream : an assistant professor! at
the prestigious ubb no less!
a111: Logged on 2018-12-06 00:10 asciilifeform: wild folx screaming into
the wilderness with no rhyme or reason
BingoBoingo: Beaches in Montevideo get plowed, but not nightly. Salto's not much of a beach
town. More of a hot springs
town. On
the Uruguay river rather
than
the big one
mircea_popescu: those places are large, rich, landlocked countries with small shorelines. not poor new world/africa shitholes with more beach
than real estate.
BingoBoingo: If
the bums got "derechos humanos"
the sandflies gotta have "derechos sandflies"
BingoBoingo: If
they can't clean up bums, I have my doubts
they can clean up
the sandflies
mircea_popescu: nfi what
that has
to do with anything, sandflies aren't bum driven
BingoBoingo: But will
the Uruguayos stop being poor and start pressure washing
the Pichis off
the street? I have my doubts until
the redditbags start inflating
BingoBoingo: In other news, some kid up in Salto became
the first case of Leishmaniasis in Uruguay
mircea_popescu: hey
trinque, does !!register <newykey> and decripting otp work
to replace old key with new ? or is it hand-cranked ?
