mircea_popescu: spotting this sort of thing is why graphs exist in the first place.
mircea_popescu is sitting pretty on a large ball of synergy, pulling on the threads.
mircea_popescu: quoth me : "so power it down, open freezer door, put glass of hot water close to conduit in question."
mircea_popescu: quoth her : "fuck me, i bet i know what happened. power went out for like 10 minutes yest, musta been the water duct froze in the interval then power being back on it maintains the ice cork and it can't make more ice."
mircea_popescu: in other hardpower lulz, chick's icemaker in the fridge stopped working, just this very sad sound and no ice forthcoming. she called the very helpful super (young guy, i suppose he likes her). quoth he : "sometimes when the power goes out you have to reset these. you know, like computers ? power it down overnight and see in the morning."
mircea_popescu: i spent what, 0.3% or so of this year in airplane. had thinkpad with multiple batteries loaded up with films etc by diligent travel assistant / cocksucker. in the overhead tray it stayed.
mircea_popescu: what % of your time last year did you spend in an airplane and what exactly would have happened had you taken a nap / chatted up random chicks / thought about your nails for the interval.
mircea_popescu: getting rid of the whole "laptop" paradigm is great for both wrists and productivity anyways.
mircea_popescu: no idea why i didn't before, but anyway. doesn't seem to have gone down from it either, so all good.
mircea_popescu: pretty much been trying to ride the news since day 0. sorta like the divorcee in rhodes island pretending she can't sleep because she's heard all the new york chicks got insomnia.
mircea_popescu: which is why i said should prolly talk to guy see what he says
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform seems looping over 1g is rather nonsensical.
mircea_popescu: also the various presets on mike's thing were good, with the weighted averages he had.
mircea_popescu: someone was making a visual explorer worked pretty well.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> noticed that 'wot' link on trilema www is still ye olde mike_c wot
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform good point. what's the cannonical place i forget ?
mircea_popescu: notrly. tractor lister job, 1k pages+, let it do its thing come back in morning.
mircea_popescu: put that in your "three year experience" pipe an' smoke it.
mircea_popescu: i should have kept all those ancient electric ones, made a fortune selling them to hipsters door to door.
mircea_popescu: this adds ben_vulpes to the list of people who seriously considered the matter of snipping trbn into shape, came to ~same conclusion, ie that rewrite is unavoidable.
mircea_popescu: "gotta do something" "why ?" "because of all that free time we got to get on with our lives!!!1"
mircea_popescu: so how about "i wonder why the terrorists hate us" is rendered as the correct and adequate "boy we must suck -- not even those sandniggers living in goat dung want us."
mircea_popescu: they went into charity because those were the only people who couldn't say no.
mircea_popescu: somehow the point that "those misfortunate products of teratogenesis were so fucking sad not even their husbands could be paid to fuck em!!1" is never made. but no, ~nobody could be bothered with 1910s "socialite", ie, rich girl with no skills, no utility and no tits.
mircea_popescu: these are the lower middle class women that made it! living the dream of middle class 1910s!
mircea_popescu: by 2010s it's literally a case of "watch tv and vicariously participate in the salvation of imaginary creatures". the keywords are of course "raise awareness" and "educate the public". fruits of a long shriveled vine, that nevertheless the trained eye can readily distinguish.
mircea_popescu: so noncreatures like obama were created for the purpose, and the middle east still bears the burden of this typically usian retardation)
mircea_popescu: then the lower classes wanted it too, except who the fuck was going to be on the receiving end of all this mass industrialized chairty ?
mircea_popescu: (i will for the record point out that the bread example is uniquely adequate because the centurial idiocy that is by now the only meaning of "american" started in this exact manner -- upper class bitches got white goods from westinghouse so they could have their precious butts and worthless heads freed from the chores of everyday so they could focus on... on what ? ON CHARITY!!111. review the "a one woman mission for your own
mircea_popescu: but then again! ever saw young dog in car ? going fast ? woooooh wuf wuf wuf!!!11 ?
mircea_popescu: craziest shit i ever saw, mostly because if one has even a vague familiarity with dogs they seem to look sadder than when they couldn[t move barely at all.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform incidentally ever saw one of those misfortunate dogs who got cured of their hip displasia by having ruedas delanteras attached ?
mircea_popescu: nor is there much value in replacing either function "so she can get on with her life." what fucking life ?! that was her life!
mircea_popescu: the strict and unyielding fact of biology is that most women are barely qualified to chase after age-disabled spawn and make food. there's no shame in this, it being entirely natural.
mircea_popescu: whole thread is a restatement of "machinery is to enhance not to replace human"
mircea_popescu: which is why i say -- depends on woman. if she can be useful with a tank buy her a fucking tank, why not.
mircea_popescu: does not preclude. but in most cases, woman who no longer has to cook daily because fridge works with the reddiTV.
mircea_popescu: let the woman be a thing as often as practicable, it sure as fuck beats her being a figment of someone's imagination. and other alternatives DO NOT EXIST.
mircea_popescu: let her ENJOY the fact that she actually is a thing of this world and contributes with her hands to this world. why shouldn't she.
