BingoBoingo: It works very well as do
the
taxis. During
the summer busses are pretty cool
too.
mircea_popescu: well you're both in luck, pantsuit wank notwithstanding
the data shows we're headed
to an ice age.
brazilish: i like
the climate here because if you have shadow and minimal ventilation you can live, but
that's of course a reason about
the shitload of poor people
that can survive virtually doing nothing
BingoBoingo: brazilish: If you are ok with studio apartments
those are hella overbuilt here. In some barrios
there is minimal premium
to rent recent construction if you look enough.
brazilish: been
twice in porto alegre, it was so painful
to live w/o proper insulation
brazilish: BingoBoingo:
that's
the reason of
totally avoiding min >20°C parts of south america
PeterL: brb, have
to change a diaper
BingoBoingo: brazilish: Anyways here
they either use propane heaters, electric radiators, or
they use
their air conditioner as a heat pump
mircea_popescu: ("break" is a bit of a joke, you can saw
through
their wallpaper)
mircea_popescu: the us doesn't even have
the holes, if you want windows instead of
the idiotic closet doors
they install you have
to break
the walls
brazilish: mircea_popescu: i know your blog after
the ethereum disaster,
then a couple of weeks ago discovered irc logs
mircea_popescu: but
this is universally
true of anything not-in-europe anyway.
mircea_popescu: well..
then probably no. for one
thing uruguay's not cold in any conceivable sense. for
the other, latin america is universally a pile of crumbling mess, decolonialization did
them in. so yes, if you want sane window fittings you'll have
to import
the
termopan (and possibly
the skilled labour
to put
them in) ; if you want sane heat planht, you gotta import
the gas burning ariston or w/e you're using. and so on.
brazilish: but i learned pretty quickly portuguese and so
the idea
to melt with
the population appealed me
brazilish: is
true
that is quite cold, and houses are bad insulated /
there is not much heating system in use aside high end houses?
BingoBoingo: brazilish: Register a GPG key with deedbot, keep
the private key private, and keep coming back.
BingoBoingo: I saw a new name pop up and granted voice. Decided
to do some A/B
testing and not ask
this guy about his daddy for a change.
brazilish: and
to be honest,
there is something funny about here, if you
talk about slavery or
these kind of agreements
they comes out instantly with "direitos humanos", but if you just
tell
that you want anything with her,
that's perfectly ok
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'd like it more if
there were more brown latinas and less zombie pale folk
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo basically you'd like it if
there were a dozen of you and not so many of
them ?
mircea_popescu: brazilish i
take slaves, prices kinda meaningless
to me. wtf prices ? not like i prostitute
the harem.
BingoBoingo: Montevideo would be substantially cooler if
the Uruguayo population was halved
brazilish: but don't get me wrong: girls are good and
their prices (if any) are also ok. What is very bad is everything
that is not sex related
mircea_popescu: experience has shown
that
there exist
two kinds of people in
this world :
the kind where
the greater
the agglomeration,
the cooler it gets ; and
the kind where
the greater
the agglomeration,
the dirtier it gets.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i spent some
time in argentina on
the vastly supported conspiracy
theory
that it's a cool place. god help me
there's chicken coops cooler
than
the whole shithole.
brazilish: BingoBoingo: basically 2 seasons:
the one when rains a lot for a short period of
time, and
the one where it rains a lot for a couple of hours
mircea_popescu: not a bad idea in
theory ; but
the necessary conjugate of any attempt at practical implementation is being ready
to pack it and move if it dun work out.
brazilish: My original idea was
to do physical price arbitrage, by going
there and spending money like a local. Is not going so well
mircea_popescu: brazilish girls can
travel. well,
the less fucked in
the head among
them, obviously
there's a contingent of boise morons who expect
to spawn and die within visual range of where
they were spawned in
turn.
brazilish: well i enjoy black girls, but never
thought
that
the city was a
total mess
BingoBoingo: brazilish: Do you get winter
there? Here by
the other big river it's a bit chilly
mircea_popescu: the naming scheme
these people use. "petrogardens in
the neighbourhood of Prudent President". why not pudenda presidenta, while at it.
brazilish: near
the amazon river, humid as fuck
brazilish: wix is
the AS
that host
the VPN,
the city is not petropolis (indeed, a very good city)
phf: brazilish: you can always wash it by hand. i've disassembled a lot of ebay
thinkpads just
to wash
the frame of all
the grease and dirt; but
to answer
the general question "libre" solutions are guilty until proven innocent around here.
the pattern seems
to be, find a seemingly unencumbered system, asciilifeform starts
taking a look at it, discovers lizard hitler. until step 2 happens, impossible
to say anything about
the system.
mircea_popescu: leaving aside wix is possibly
the shittiest isp ever invented, wtf is a "Jardim Petropolis" ?!
mircea_popescu: quality ebony girls aren't
that bad ;
though i prefer importing.
brazilish: aside quality ebony girls,
this city is a complete hellhole, logistic and import
taxes included
mircea_popescu: brazilish yes,
the x60s (pre lenovo hps) for instance.
BingoBoingo: Few ever died getting
their own plane
ticket
brazilish: checked now a couple of miami box, seems
that out of sao paulo
they are expensive as fuck, even in my case where
there are a couple of flights in
the week directly
to miami
brazilish: nice
to see
that with AMD
there is something more recent
than 2009 btw
brazilish: logistic is a bit complicated, but
there are some services
that i've used in
the past
BingoBoingo: Shit gets bought for you in Miama and shipped
to your actual address.
brazilish: fact is: here in my shitty city all
the used stuff
that i find is way over used and full of grease, like way
too much
brazilish: well, I'd like
to ask: does make moar sense
to buy some pre 2009 (pre IME) laptop
to do standard stuff?
BingoBoingo: The
talos
this is a bit on
the expensive side and how far do you REALLY
trust IBM
to have not molested
their POWER architecture?
brazilish: so I saw a post on reddit about a supposed nsa free desktop, and I'd like
to ask opinions here
BingoBoingo: In one case I was looking at a cast iron skillet
that wasn't rusted
to shit.
The vendor wanted
to bundle it with a whole bunch of specialty cast iron shit
that was rusted
to fuckhell.
BingoBoingo: Aite, next
time I go
to
the feria
to look at kitchen utensils Imma have
to bring a latina. "Evwerything on
the
table is a matched set you won't separate" my ass
mod6: I'll call
these guys and get
them
to
throw in a ~new~ SSD for me
this
time. Or will just pay out, and find new service.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6: by all indications you have a box with iron problem. in your place i'd get a fresh set of iron, rather
than sinking sweat into interpreting randomly flipped bits as 'bug' << yeah for sure, it certainly could be related
to
the disk issue. I don't really
think it's a 'bug' or anything.
epony: Don't know where
these 11 days come from...
epony: I
think it's 9 days since I pop back in.
ben_vulpes: epony: still haven't digested
the epsilon appetite for nobodies? not obvious in your 11 days reading?
epony: I'll
then say "just nobody" :-)
ben_vulpes: chance favors
the prepared keyring or what was it.
ben_vulpes: consider, one day, you find yourself inspired
to say something, you
then go
to register a key first? and
then conversation gets derailed with "oh ho, look who finally registered a key" or alternatively "oh ho, who are you now?"
epony: because, why would I want
to say anything before getting a feel of
the
tone of
the conversation..
ben_vulpes: epony: what do you perceive
the cost of registering a key
to be?
epony: devoice if you please, nothing
to say on my end
ben_vulpes: !!up epony do you plan
to register a key or what
ben_vulpes: am i
thick or does nothing in
the rpc
take named args already?
ben_vulpes: yeah
that fucking horror of ordered args
ben_vulpes: it would be much easier
to make a sendmanywithchangeaddr
than
to rework both sendfrom and sendmany
a111: Logged on 2018-06-23 17:59 ben_vulpes: would it be sensible for
the send* commands
to eat a changeaddress argument?
BingoBoingo: I have become utterly unaccustomed
to dogs being beasts
to fear
