mircea_popescu: mod6 why not ? pretty sure all it takes is money. the sure sign of booth not doing anything.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform for the precise reason stated, marginal weirdo cultish folk. why's ukrainian not count as russian ? at least the ukrs have the claim on ~inventing~ it.

asciilifeform: and the sheer redditude of the attendees
asciilifeform: mod6: a few yrs ago asciilifeform went ( or rather, was sent ) to a smaller/sadder version of said item, 'shmoocon', you wouldn't believe the sort of snake oil that was sold there ☟︎
mircea_popescu: or did they move it meanwhile
mircea_popescu: mod6 isn;t las vegas actually closer to you ?

'
asciilifeform: at least google fwiw didn't try to advertise cr50, similar 'feature'.
asciilifeform: while in other 'open sores' idiocy, https://archive.li/GXp09 >> 'With not being able to deliver a 100% fully free software / libre system, the Librem 5 smartphone will rely upon a secondary processor for dealing with the necessary binary blobs for hardware initialization to keep them out of touch from the U-Boot boot-loader and Linux kernel' << pushed as ~feature~ , didjaknow.

BingoBoingo: Sioux, Apache, fought. Cherokee were one of the five "civilized" tribes that tired to assimilate to verying degrees of rape
mircea_popescu: you're mabye thinking sioux ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Cherokees didn't put up a fight. They made a show of imitating white culture and meaningfully resisted nothing imposed on them.
asciilifeform: they did manage to pyrrhicly win the 1st war with ru; erry bit as good orc troops as any, perhaps if cherokees had kalash they could have put up same level of fight.
mircea_popescu: eh, they're islamic in the sense the us is catholic. ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: iirc they also tried the 'caliphate' thing, with the attendant lulz

BingoBoingo: mod6: Not quite yet. Waiting for the wait for furniture
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you ddin't know this ?! imo one of their principal achievements
mod6: waitin for the furnature?
asciilifeform: 'We were born at night when the She-wolf whelped / In the morning, under lions’ howl we were given our names / In eagles’ nests our Mothers nursed us ...' etc
asciilifeform: ( ^ subj on lolcattube has en+ru sub . https://archive.li/7E9at << txt translation )
asciilifeform: speaking of dar-al-islam, asciilifeform had nfi, but the nao-defunkt republic of ichkeria had perhaps the most aggressively oddball national anthem : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXNI0v3o6K0
a111: Logged on 2017-01-31 15:10 asciilifeform: and to top off the lulzfest, http://archive.is/jMArA : 'Microsoft Corp said it has been cooperating with the Washington State Attorney General's Office, which is suing in federal court to stop President Donald Trump's order restricting immigration from several Muslim countries.'
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in other great accomplishments of the web era, http://samuel-beckett.net/Waiting_for_Godot_Part1.html

BingoBoingo: https://archive.is/6TJPf << This is it, the other panasonic 25
BingoBoingo: And linked the wrong camera
BingoBoingo: https://archive.is/aVT4o For the curious. Short story: Factory defaults are Potato, With practice and RTFM does distance well when you turn down the megapixels to 5, at clost distances (1 meter or less) you are completely at the mercy of light
BingoBoingo also ought to do a review of the camera I arrived with
BingoBoingo: Likewise furing the rest of Uruguay's games, I have agreed to sit in the exact same chair I occupied the previous matches.
BingoBoingo has admits own fault in having more things to blog waiting on burner for the day he can eat, sleep, shit, and irc behind the same lock
BingoBoingo: iirc ben_vulpes tambien
mircea_popescu: o darn, wasn't he gonnamake a nice travelogue post ? hm ? HM ?

a111: Logged on 2018-06-23 01:17 mircea_popescu: haha. they all think this before they meet him :D
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-23#1828999 << For the record asciilifeform has met the Venezolana currently in Venezuela who does the Spanish lessons. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Maybe for the second year's week off. I have a whole list of shit in range of the nice buses I've been hearing about for months and have yet to see.
BingoBoingo: Further that Maduro fellow needs to register a key here. I have yet to have a bad arepa.
BingoBoingo: They do it with orange and pine nuts. The rare sweet food here without dulce de leche
BingoBoingo: I need to look again. I tried to find it in December, but everyone I meet here seems to only be aware of the nuts. I suspect the cashew has a strong nut/fruit divide
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/the-cabinet-of-doctor-caligari/ << Trilema - The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari
BingoBoingo: In other trivia Anthony Kennedy is giving up. Make SCOTUS, Great Again!
asciilifeform: generally -- the industrialist saw the artisan as a headache, and killed him. nao we get to 'enjoy' the fruits of de-artisan'ed industry. ☟︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: taste all the cunts ; when you find the salty one you got her.
asciilifeform: where today is gorgo, lol
asciilifeform: and so in erry case there was attempt to replace. the tailor, with 'singer' chix, the greybeard -- with google monkeys; the whole lot.
asciilifeform: for the demented purposes of 'mass konsoomer crud', it made +ev sense.
asciilifeform: upstack -- the 'deskilling' process is concerned specifically with removal of 'heroes' , e.g. mircea_popescu's hand-picked acrobats, and their replacement with grey biomass.
asciilifeform: what can they do, the Right Chix are evidently occupied, as mircea_popescu's drivers...
mircea_popescu: i'm happy with my set, enough so as to not hire male drivers.
mircea_popescu: anwyay, i am not responsible for moronia recruiting the wrong chicks.
mircea_popescu: yes well. this is a tenuous distinction.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was speaking of the living, lol
asciilifeform: evidently there is moar to that biznis than physiological punishment.
mircea_popescu: the more typically observed pattern in humans, actually, is the skeleton.
asciilifeform: so far all i know is re the tailhook thread.
asciilifeform: re drivers and their long legs : su mil establishment did various tests, and reportedly concluded that chix would make ideal pilots -- take moar g's, typically better reaction, can work under outrageous o2 deprivation, etc. but they did not go so far as to start recruiting'em en masse. the americans, however... did. many great feats of pilotage nao ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: There's also the Rioplatense case of the bunnies that just... don't want to... Not if it doesn't involve cardboard sculpture
asciilifeform: trinque: that's the whole of asciilifeform's arg, aha
trinque: in the case of my sister, sails like a champ, just doesn't produce own wind. this seems entirely biologically appropriate for her.
asciilifeform: sorta the problem with the chinese, per the old thread, in the larger picture.
asciilifeform: folx with 'frustration threshold' set to 9000, and who go on 0 benders, ~can~ become , in principle, mircea_popescu's driver, or mega-ww2 nurse who handles 9000 wounded per hr when suddenly roused at 4 in the morning, or some other astonishing and meritorious thing. but the moar typically observed pattern, afaik, is the biorobot.
asciilifeform: in su factories also was a thing, 'we hire females because they don't bender'
asciilifeform: trinque: typical 'male tech' today is not even fit to empty sewage tanks reliably, verily
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know there's a quote for this, and it goes like "Just because females could endure anything does not mean they should is my view I suppose"
trinque: only two data points, but she blows the male tech out of the damned water.
asciilifeform: upstack -- for whatever reason, the lowell mills and straight to modern chinesium plants, use chix, they seem more content to perform repeated program all day, erry day.
asciilifeform: lucky fella, trinque , to have such relatives
trinque recently hired sister in an "answer the phone, handle all shitshows" role. job's literally "fill all gaps", hits things she never trained for all day.
asciilifeform: ( for all i knew , the 'she' was also a trained all-terrain racer , etc )
mircea_popescu: well ok, but i like 'em tall.
mircea_popescu: she's taller than you.
mircea_popescu: could be that women are actually better drivers, if not fucked in the head by idiot mother/bf combo.
asciilifeform: could then be proverbial 'stopped clock shows right time', then. i've nfi.
mircea_popescu: also, she's a) too young to have multi decade driven and b) only recently allowed to drive at all anyway. so...
mircea_popescu: but i thought the argument was as to difference, rather than "any driver"
