asciilifeform: by that logic, armless+legless wife is best

asciilifeform: and specifically the 'so she has more time to grow bitter in!'

asciilifeform: *discussing

asciilifeform: i thought we were discussion functional items, 'white goods' etc

asciilifeform: wife who was born to grind?

asciilifeform: if you have a wife whose maximalized version is a kind of bipedal coffee grinder -- why not instead buy motorized grinder. cheaper, quicker, lighter.

asciilifeform: dog.

asciilifeform: people with 'no theorems to prove' rot, whether grinding coffee is motorized or with pestle.

asciilifeform: ( homeopath, astrologer, alchemist, perpetuum mobilist, can quite easily get 'nsf grant' if he sticks to the Official terminology, and -- importantly -- has the right pedigree / institutional cocksuckery )

asciilifeform: i can believe it.

asciilifeform: hm

asciilifeform: 0 word re where it was for ~2wks

asciilifeform: apparently

asciilifeform: https://bitbet.us/bet/1361/alphago-to-beat-ke-jie-in-april << 'Bet is not time-weighted.' >> lol

asciilifeform: ^ +26% over last yr.

asciilifeform: in other not-quite-noose, https://archive.is/pFmNY

asciilifeform: will have to open the crates, see.

asciilifeform: but not entirely

asciilifeform: pretty sure they only existed in 1

asciilifeform: depends how many pieces, neh

asciilifeform: while they last.

asciilifeform: 0 + postage to l1

asciilifeform: crate will go out this wk.

asciilifeform: nono danielpbarron did pay.

asciilifeform: ty danielpbarron .

asciilifeform: danielpbarron would you kindly resent the qty & destination.

asciilifeform: no he's right, iirc he even paid for this, and somehow it fell through the floor

asciilifeform: yes!

asciilifeform: hmm

asciilifeform: i have literally a cubic metre of'em.

asciilifeform: ( most of whom -- already got one . )

asciilifeform: there are many, many more in the inventory, than there are people i like.

asciilifeform: already did.

asciilifeform: originally i was ready to include them with FUCKGOATS but found that it would require even larger and costlier (shipment overseas is already outrageous, costs > the hardware ) parcel .

asciilifeform: incidentally i still have a crate and a half of s.nsa shirts here.

asciilifeform: somebody excavate and inform nubbins!

asciilifeform: 'printing of tshirts' is now 'industry' ?!

asciilifeform goes 'hah, a not wholly ugly!'

asciilifeform: let's somebody not- asciilifeform , write.

asciilifeform: i'm batting 0/N so far.

asciilifeform: and he doesn't seem to realize that he's only picking up the gamma.

asciilifeform: elsewhere: http://314256.blogspot.com/2016/01/random-numbers-from-radiation.html << KCl d00d. though his postprocessor algo is sorta strange.

asciilifeform: cast : '... Paris Hilton' << i had nfi.

asciilifeform: 'happiness lives in a little glass vial, a little glass vial, a little glass VIAL!111'

asciilifeform: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0963194 << not mega-masterpiece. but on subj.

asciilifeform: ever see operetta 'repo' ?

asciilifeform: lol, about what new autos cost.

asciilifeform: http://trilema.com/2017/from-the-bounty-of-the-internets-mp-was-right/#comment-121835

asciilifeform: complete snore.

asciilifeform: looks like mircea_popescu was quite right to tune out openbsd when he had.

asciilifeform: ugh

asciilifeform: including the 'problem' of non-remotelymodifiable copies .

asciilifeform: 'Based upon income from contributors the Foundation performs a fantastic function -- making worries and problems disappear.'

asciilifeform: done so much as trying to matter.

asciilifeform: looks like he's done.

asciilifeform: 'The decision is not only economical. I don't want the "friction" of trying to achieve high-quality production of collector item data CDs twice a year, in 2017. 6.0 was a high-quality CD release like previous ones, but don't want to expend the effort of producing and testing to make sure 6.1, 6.2 etc are up to that standard. It is better to call it quits on a high note.'

asciilifeform: it gets worse:

asciilifeform: pressed disks -- happen at FUCKGOATS speed.

asciilifeform: (burned disks tend to happen same-week)

asciilifeform: and 'delays' suggests -- aluminum.

asciilifeform: hey phf , danielpbarron , et al, any of you have any such cd nearby ? can look at it ?

asciilifeform: 'Goodbye CDs I'm done with you today Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye No more pre-production And no more long delays So I have peace Of mind Goodbye.'

asciilifeform: phf: srsly ?! iirc, danielpbarron had aluminum disks

asciilifeform: lol!

asciilifeform: !

asciilifeform: *had

asciilifeform: i have 2, maybe 3 cups of unruined coffee period.

asciilifeform: ^ this is quite beyond the ability of -- afaik -- anyone in usa

asciilifeform: can -- in principle -- roast in own kitchen, on frying pan.

asciilifeform: i thought mircea_popescu was speaking of where the thing grows.

asciilifeform: many shops roast even on the grounds

asciilifeform: i was half-convinced it was an april1

asciilifeform: (defaults to spanish, even)

asciilifeform: http://fordmaxmotordreams.com << holyfuck -- exists

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-16#1644685 << what industry was this, ben_vulpes ? ☝︎

asciilifeform: lul

asciilifeform: which countries, mircea_popescu's bettergurlz split today ?

asciilifeform: ergo sum >40k.

asciilifeform: this costs >0.

asciilifeform: it 'costs 40k' + x.

asciilifeform: if not -- it dun 'cost 40k'

asciilifeform: can asciilifeform go and split, say, czechoslovakia, with 40k ?

asciilifeform: (bullet)

asciilifeform: that's rather like to say, killing kennedy cost 20cent

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: ooooh

asciilifeform: what's a split ?

asciilifeform: split?

asciilifeform: *turkey

asciilifeform: fact: if you walk in with the 40k in turkeydollarz, you 1) still get a plastic piece of shit that comes apart in 5y ~exactly 2) you're out 40k turneydollarz.

asciilifeform: if it is plain overhead for inca.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is an appealing model but does not explain why inca would make the junk ~unrepairable, rather than sov-style durable

asciilifeform: and repaid with +%.

asciilifeform: no 'forgivenesses'.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: unlike obummer-housing, car loan gets repaid or confiscation.

asciilifeform: well yes, that's what american car buyer is.

asciilifeform: and not martians, no.

asciilifeform: somebody ate the delta.

asciilifeform: now -- shitburger.
