mircea_popescu: yes but i don't have problems with the elements at my desk.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aaactually the koreans make one for desk
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 18:58 asciilifeform: but i currently suspect that this is 1 of those 'only asciilifeform wants' items, and hence won't exist any time soon.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856815 <<i'd try it if it existed ; but i work on desktops. ☝︎

a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 18:53 mod6: are there any colors on ink-screen?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856804 << speaking of this, i find it INSUFFERABLE that irc has semantics for "change colors" but has not semantics for a href. ☝︎
asciilifeform: the moar astonishing phact, is that the punishment was typically administered by ~two~ whippers, and they'd have to coordinate re 'speshul order'.
asciilifeform: ( the skill lay in administering 'just right' amt of thrashing, to turn a '10 strokes' into a death sentence, or 200 into survivable/educational )
asciilifeform: word ended up generic 'whip' in modern ru, but there was a specific item, and whipper was considered skilled trade, with year+ apprenticeship
mircea_popescu: ro has cnut ; they were handmade throughout
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that would rock.
asciilifeform: funnily enuff, the historical/trad ru кнут was considered 'proprietary tech', all examples were inventoried, and afaik none survived the 19th c prohibition on the whipping
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 18:53 Mocky: imo current eink refresh rate wants applications that have slightly different display semantics than what we have today which is based on 'full screen refresh has no cost'
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-01#1856800 << possibly the correct solution is to go back to 1980s handcalc state of the art, declare CELLS. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: kurbash tk = girbaci ro.
asciilifeform: i palpate'em, to borrow a mircea_popescuism, 'in both holes' !11
a111: Logged on 2018-10-01 18:47 asciilifeform: i've found that i personally think palpably smoother when on balcony, in sunlight. but atm can only do this with printouts..

mod6: hippos in these parts just disgust me
asciilifeform: reminds me of... i gotta have seen it in a mircea_popescu article, can't think where else could've. that thing in egypt, made from hippo leather
mod6: oh yeah, lot of nerve endings there. that smarts.
mircea_popescu: especially made for hurting girls, really. gets say the oh-so-delicate inner thigh to perfection.
mircea_popescu: nah, there;s this special plastic thing, leaves these... love kisses, let's call them.
mircea_popescu: well, first trashing with this particular implement.
mod6: i know what that's like
asciilifeform: lol, was it n00b's 1st thrashing or wat
mircea_popescu: in other not really news, there's something very pretty about a slavegirl examining her welts in disbelief.

lobbes: asciilifeform BingoBoingo: anytime tomorrow (or tonight) worx for me. I've got my blog backed up so feel free to go-ahead whenever ready
BingoBoingo: Photo post because for some reason the Qntra title and link bot still hasn't been banned from twitter
asciilifeform: ( some folx have FG, those will have 1 empty hole )
mod6: sounds good to me
asciilifeform: ( pizarro per se has no use for the old drives once we get errybody onto the new )
asciilifeform: diana_coman, mod6 , lobbes : if yer feeling brave, can also keep old drive on usb2 jack, as auxiliary storage, see just how long they live...

asciilifeform: gave to pet to read
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ( i.e. prolly passed as 'paper' ) << How are you enjoying the tourist information?
BingoBoingo: Well, these feel like the sort of thing mircea_popescu could fill up a sack with and use for beating passers-by. The old ones not so much
asciilifeform: and not really consistent with typical picture of ssd death.
asciilifeform: yet still imho the particular style of death the old ones died, was quite peculiar.
asciilifeform: i went with 'heat' as hypothesis re lifespan, and so got these with moar surface , plus room for hedgehog
asciilifeform: this'll remain to be seen
BingoBoingo: But without the heatsinks still too tall to double up (keychain retainer)
BingoBoingo: I have heatsinks on two at the moment
asciilifeform: got the heatsinks on ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: One of the spiffy new sticks is in Dulap. Their individual height is too great to double up
