lobbes: lol "just doin' some
christmas gardening. family tradition"
BingoBoingo: Update on the
Christmas tradition known as "Hay ladrones por Navidad. Ladrones de los barrios pichis van a Pocitos a robar": God damn this place is rural. Two off road style 4-wheelers seen being ridden by kids in the streets and Police tucked away everywhere drinking Mate and dicking around on their cell phones.
BingoBoingo: Not New Years quality, but
Christmas quality
BingoBoingo: I will. The last time a dhl package got held here (
Christmas cookies from mom), there was a manilla envelope with retrieval instructions delivered after Aduanas reached their verdict.
BingoBoingo: There's chicas everywhere so if that fell through no big deal... The concerted effort put for by the locals on the Latino
Christmas show, I lack the patience and means to make that happen on a whim.
ben_vulpes: also it is *snowing* on *
christmas eve* in the northern suburbs of the socialist paradise
BingoBoingo: Y en otra inglesas: "In other news, The Times reported that, for the first time in modern history, no Royal Navy fighting ships – destroyers, frigates, amphibious assault ships or carriers – would be operating away from Britain over
Christmas and New Year."
ben_vulpes bbl, a deserving lady has a
christmas movie i'm not grinching about for once

Christmas trees?"

trinque: well... aren't you playing "down with usg except for the bill of rights; really we just mean usg but we want
christmas back"
jhvh1: BingoBoingo: pajama boy :: An insufferable Man-Child. About as threatening as Michael Cera and so nerdy he could guest-host on an unwatched MSNBC show. The purpose of Pajama Boy is not to get people to buy health insurance, but to get a rise out of more powerful personas. [ex:] Pajama Boy is an insufferable Man-Child probably reading The Bell Jar and looking forward to a hearty
Christmas meal of stuffed tofurkey. If (2 more messages)
Framedragger interviewed one guy "down there" (he had part of "cave" and
christmas lights on wall, said he spend lots of time there, yeah not sure about dampness, i mean god damn), said "oh yeah i'm used to taking acid and getting lost here", nonchalant
mod6: Today is like
christmas.
ben_vulpes: chiptune
christmas, if you want to give any olds a migrane
BingoBoingo: In similar news,
Christmas Shopping for the frugal: Buy a
Christmas Tree. Have the bottom limbs stripped off and cut it in half so the top becomes a small tree. Slice the now detached bottom log into disks. Score the bark on the disks with a knife. You now have a tree and tree scented disks to give as presents.
Framedragger just placed an order for FG-USB and feels very
christmas-y!
Framedragger: mircea_popescu: huh not the worst idea! i'll see if i can arrange when i'm back for
christmas week after next :P
BingoBoingo: From the local police blotter: "Five juveniles, a 9-year-old boy, a 10-year-old boy, two 11-year-old boys, and a 10-year-old girl, all of Highland, were charged with destroying property for allegedly breaking light bulbs on
Christmas displays belonging to the city"
Framedragger: (also, if there was one tv series you may want to watch, it'd be "black mirror". i watched their "
christmas special" ("white
christmas") yesterday, and somehow on an emotional level it made me feel easier about not having much hope in the "populace". the smarter the technological tools that the populace gets to play with, the more they fuck themselves and others up.)
ben_vulpes: ahaha "a demonstrator disguised as santa clause gestures next to a
christmas tree with signs demanding aid plans and reform bills"
pete_dushenski:

mircea_popescu: (incidentally those "accidental"-deliberate fucktards : fixed whitening scheme ? really ? what the FUCK! if there's anything in the entire fucking os the user must be able to customize, it's NOT the fucking glyph table / window size for the love of
christmas fucks!)
BingoBoingo: Thing covered thanksgiving and
christmas all by itself
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: why couldn't you have figured this out before last
christmas ? first it's the amazing pogo, then the amazing eizo... AND NOW IT'S NEITHER
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> pete_dushenski: being the pig is also +ev until
christmas. << he has a point. "renegotiable" when your side of the negotiation is pack it and leave and their side is "take it or leave it" is insanity on a stick.
Azelphur: started to get really annoyed when I had the choice of taking money out of my cold wallet or taking a loan from my parents to make rent over
christmas - not cool :/
Azelphur: Indeed it's not, had no money over
christmas. His misinformation has cost me money too
PeterL: The silliest mascot is Stanford's, my wife calls it "the happy dancing
christmas tree"
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> brown

junseth: Sounds good to me. Just push Maxwell to bring us fungibility by next
Christmas pete_dushenski: mats: well, this
christmas you can be thankful that you don't have to contest with other chinese doods in b-a for that little niche (yes, there are niches in b-a, as anywhere else).
thestringpuller: mod6: was this started from a /clean/ env or is this trying to load up a blockchain from
christmas past? << I completely nuked the datadir .bitcoin with rm -rf *; whenever I do an rpc call after the thing _tries_ to spin up, it borks. crashes without anything except what was in the db.log. I'm almost certain it's an issue with bdb because no blocks are downloaded or anything. cause it connects to the node I specify gets basic

adlai: there's your lsd, let's hope
christmas comes early on the next bet :)
mircea_popescu: as far as her dumb ass is concerned, the best possible train is a ghetto blaster with the volume welded to low, playing
christmas carrols from under the mirrors-ensconced speakers.
pete_dushenski: "Mayor Don Iveson will welcome Santa from the North Pole, to officially light the 72-ft
Christmas Tree! The tree is adorned with 14-thousand LED lights, cascading snowfalls, sparkles, and stars. After the tree ceremony, a spectacular, fireworks show will light up Downtown skies."
BingoBoingo: We didn't "descend" from them. We split after an angry
christmas holiday.
ascii_field: and mircea_popescu is right, i was thinking in reality of the
Christmas Offensive
pete_dushenski: there are too many lulz in the auto space today. what is it,
christmas ?
jurov: what's surprising on
christmas being pagan winter solstice adoption?
thestringpuller: “The truth is
Christmas evolved from the Roman holiday Saturnalia, a winter festival where men gave gifts to each other. They also would get drunk, have sex with each other and beat their wives”
thestringpuller: “Actually Grandad
Christmas is a pagan holiday and Jesus probably hates you for celebrating it.”
mircea_popescu: "come to america - where coca cola has created
christmas and the government has created democracy!"
BingoBoingo: Gus the
Christmas ornament of course being one of the antagonists in the original blockbuster film
BingoBoingo: Maybe this is the wrong epoch's fiction being contrasted. Maybe 'Uncle Tom' and 'Gus' the
christmas ornament would cover a larger range of outcomes.
mircea_popescu: this has been the most distant
christmas in hystory, but! apparently it's coming.
assbot: You rated user asciilifeform on 30-Nov-2013, with a rating of 4, and supplied these additional notes: He came up with the Cardano For
Christmas marketing plan. Also phuctor..
mircea_popescu: !rate asciilifeform 4 He came up with the Cardano For
Christmas marketing plan. Also phuctor.
recon_eric_: That pic was taken at a
christmas party :) but thanks for the compliment? I think?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know that's an age honored thing in usia. which is why all the brouhaha over "intelle;ctual property" and "bla bla theft" is so funny for people who aren't either born yesterday or to stupid parents in the great plains. srsly, someone stole from murica ? what,
christmas ?
nubbins`: no joke, in my cubicle life, the
christmas social/dinner/dance was called (i'm really not making this up) an ELEGANZA.
