mod6: i dunno, i guess i could. my understanding was that most of these greenhouses start the seeds in like march time-frame. but maybe i'm way off there.
mod6: i've seen it snow here on June 1st before.
mod6: huh. i'll have to do that next year and see how it goes.
mod6: i think the real trick is to collect the seeds from the plants.
shinohai: Yeah soak those fuckers then trick seeds into thinking spring
mod6: not sure exactly how to do that on some of them. like tomatoes and cukes are obvious, but what about the cabbabe and dill, etc?
mod6: shinohai: aight, cool. will give that a shot next year.
BingoBoingo: Just get some jiffy pots and put the seeds in the window sill them?
mod6: that's the one problem. not a lot of window-sill real-estate for that shit. plus: cats.
mod6: they fuck up all plants.
mod6: anyway, thanks for the advice. will test that next year for sure.
BingoBoingo: Send them to vacation with alf in chicago for a few months until the frost threat leaves?
mod6: he's going to chiraq?
shinohai: It's ok asciilifeform it appears she is in my home town too! How quaint.
shinohai: I'm drunk so imma call her pimp and ask if they want a railroad job.
shinohai: This is Nigeria. If I don't get new 1 Trillion bill I'm going home.
mod6: yeah, they certainly got a new home.
mod6: i was up to my gd eyeballs in mud lol
mod6: i told the girls that we'll try by seed germ. next yaer, but they agreed that'd be a pita.
mod6: a good test either way tho
shinohai: Here no rain but still 28°C - sweating balls
mircea_popescu: mod6 you could try making a hard transparent plastic foil lean-to
mircea_popescu: basically put a wooden frame like an old screen door or w/e upright, and the plastic from it.
mod6: ah, like a little greenhouse ?
mod6: that'd be rather awesome if that's what you mean, and it might come to that tbh.
mod6: *nod* would take care of the cat problem too.
shinohai: .22 LR also takes care of cat problems.
mod6: haha, so will bathtub with water.
mod6: but, eitherway, i happen to like these fuckers.
mod6: they are amazing hunters.
shinohai: Yeah I have a cat I adore, jut those feral ones that tear up stuff
shinohai: One cannot simply make pets of them
shinohai: Or perhaps asciilifeform has method previously unknown to hoomans
mod6: one cat that used to be an "outdoor" cat in my radius would bring me mice like everyday. i felt bad because i couldn't bring him one. :/
shinohai: Enjoy watching what, my garbage strewn all over driveway?
shinohai: Here kitty, kitty. Come eat this nice steak that asciilifeform paid for.
shinohai: You no longer must eat garbage!
shinohai: I tried putting the housecat kibble out, still they persist.
shinohai: I'd be more than happy to feed the lot of them, tuna, kibble, whatever.
mircea_popescu: i think 1mn people of the same mind live there. i've never seen as many cats.
mircea_popescu: yeah, they do, because they gang together in wet spots
shinohai: Anywho, please don't think I'm evil because I suggest a varmit gun. I do love my cat because no other good reading companion.
phf: they literally build cat houses in public parks with elaborate architecture, i've seen four or five of those
mircea_popescu: phf ah, right, you been there. tell 'em about the catmania!
phf: but on the flip side every side street smells like a russian apartment complex back stairs
phf: they address their cats "citizen cat" in turkish
phf wants to hear the joke with assburning
mircea_popescu: in this alternate universe, the comrade general secretary of the central committee of the romanian communist party, comrade nicolae ceausescu isn't shot
mircea_popescu: but instead just sorta... sent out to bum the rest of his days
mircea_popescu: and he's kinda depressed, and haunts this lowest of the lowest dive,
mircea_popescu: where this one eyed lame bartender asks him religiously what he wants to drink ? vodka ? samogon ? gasoline ? solvent ?
mircea_popescu: and he picks vodka, gets plastered, goes out and falls in a ditch where he falls asleep
mircea_popescu: a local faggot, seeing the man sleeping in a ditch, pulls down his pants, fucks him in the ass,
mircea_popescu: then when done stuffs a 30 cent bill in his pocket and departs.
mircea_popescu: ceausescu wakes up eventually, rifles own pockets, disocvers money, drags self back to bar
mircea_popescu: drinks another vodka, gets plastered, goes to same ditch falls alseep.
mircea_popescu: ceausescu wakes up again, rifles own pockets again, disocvers money again, drags self back to bar.
mircea_popescu: gimme some of that brandy, this damned vodka's making my asshole burn.
mircea_popescu: (samogon, for the innocent, is a "anything you got" sort of brandy that long predates vodka)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform moonshine is this tenessee cvasi-whiskey.
mircea_popescu: heh they give him plane money ? i'd have expected he has to walk.
☟︎ mod6: lol, see ya in 3 months.
mod6: aight, there's another few things this lead to
mod6: i'll have to try again tomorrow. but the site updates are correct anyway.
mod6: this is just little shit like the help menu.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Nah, he'd enjoy the walk until he hit Ohio which would likely make him miss swamp
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Judging by the parts of Chicago alf enjoyed I believe his favorite place in Illinois would be either pinckneyville, Roodhouse, or Benton for their "frozen in time" natures.
☟︎ BingoBoingo: Alf may have to settle for Macomb though for University Library
deedbot: felipelalli voiced for 30 minutes.
BingoBoingo: alf can at least console himself in having only been to Chicago. Now if alf had been to Missouri...

BingoBoingo: Ohio is a shitpit. Now Roodhouse is a happening place with many, many train tracks.
BingoBoingo: Fine, apparently the pale zimbabwestans aren't for you. Maybe Cairo, Illinois is you town.
BingoBoingo: Has historic buildings. Black people abandoned by Whitey.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's like James Lafond presents baltimore in minitature with all the James Lafonds on strike.
BingoBoingo: Makes East St Louis look like 1600's England. BUT one of the better functioning cities in the state. Even has massive floodwalls
BingoBoingo: You just have to stay south of Delmar and you'll be fine.
BingoBoingo: As in Cats and bears zoo, not James Lafond zoo though there is that too.
BingoBoingo: Cats and bears zoo in stl is free, which is much cheaper than Lafond zoo in stl
BingoBoingo: DC Zoo has less real bears. Panda cows don't count.
BingoBoingo: St Louis also has a miniature Yugoslavia in South City, Mega recommend.
BingoBoingo: AHA, but in Stl you are a short drive from places Legit USG battle flag flies in the Ozarks. Where War of Northern Aggression is still active.
BingoBoingo: Also very large feral cats are seen occasionally
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not everywhere surrendered in 1865.
BingoBoingo: Says the person who was surprised by girls in Chicago having faces.
vc: mircea_popescu: a guy named kakobrekla queried me telling me this is a scammer channel
vc: and gave me some story about a company called bitbet
shinohai: Reads like concern trolling xD
mircea_popescu: the moral being that on teh internet you gotta figure out what to believe yourself.
mircea_popescu: shinohai check out the wonders of fiatism and "modern science" though. the derp never fucking pm'd anyone, ANYONE, about bitbet back when say, i was doing the warren buffett thing. NOW he finds the time and the interest. not before.
mircea_popescu: 90% of everything he said past 12 months he said past 2, but this isn't something to inwardly consider.
vc: mircea_popescu: I'll read into it later, I'm streaming for now
shinohai: I simply make popcorn for the drama parts of logs and move on. Time is too precious a resource to waste dwelling on same butthurt over and over.
mircea_popescu: the drawback of hanging out with people is that motherfucker i caught some sort of doom bug, i'm like coughing and shit wtf.
shinohai: Perhaps some samogon and honey would sooth the cough.
phf: that is why we can not have nice things
phf: $s а наш притончик гонит самогончик
mircea_popescu: <phf> that is why we can not have nice things << what, russian ?
shinohai: Try now, working for me. If not I'll dpaste it
phf: pre-split btcbase log's purpose was analytical, where's now i spend my time on ux and ops issues. juxtaposition of kakobrekla doing low key malicious shit and asciilifeform trying to search cyrillic prompted that line
☟︎ phf: girl is reading The Temple of the Golden Pavilion, which i think is apropos the situation.
