mod6: quick update. with all the running around i've been doing for my mom last few days, totally forgot to write up the SoBA. It might be out a day late. Or.. maybe not.
☟︎ mod6: Anyway, just a heads-up.
mod6: heheh. so going through a lot of her things since she's moved to hospice...
mod6: turns out she's an avid Qntra reader.
mod6: and reads the SoBAs. she had a three-ring binder for each full of articles, etc. trilema too.
☟︎ mod6: was kinda blown away by that.
shinohai makes note that she is avid Qntra reader ....
mod6: lol, i even found one full of orlov articles.
shinohai: I'll bet she reads the logs, you'll find those hidden away in the attic later on.
mod6: "Interacting with fiact institution, a guide" printed 2014.03.27 16:52
mod6: She was straight up sawing down trees for this stuff.
shinohai: Well, this is truly all the news fit to print.
shinohai: If she was printing out subreddits, then I might worry.
mod6: haha, i doubt it, but who knows!?
mod6 starts writing SoBA for march

shinohai: "If you prefer a grittier vibe, you can put down roots at Potrero 1010, where you can see (and hear) the traffic on I-280 rattle away beneath your window."
shinohai: Fitting, also if I may make slight spelling correction `be` is used twice in the Framedragger entry.
shinohai: " I propose be be inducted as the Lord Scanner."
shinohai: Thought my eyes were playing tricks on me this morning, after a long night staring at tits.
mircea_popescu: the one other item is ... jurov fell off as lord treasurer. i dun exactly recall why or wherefore ; but he is STILL holding a considerable sum for the foundation, and moreover why sohuldn't he be a lord ?
mircea_popescu: shinohai actually you're in luck, writing qntra report nao ; next piece will be about one of the girls picking costa rican bitches.
mircea_popescu: mebbe it's the private hall he figures. on the long term everyone's going to do the majority of lines in his own hall i imagine
mircea_popescu: what, i'm not to consider petruchio ? because why not ?
mircea_popescu: can't really have a fucking code of conduct. beyond "don't be offensively stupid" i can'\t imagine. he might even be gay or not wear a tie!
mthreat: mircea_popescu: te fuiste de argentina?
mircea_popescu: i will not set foot in that accursed shithole without a bunch of people carrying pikes
mircea_popescu: to loosen the rectal cavities of the monkeys indigent.
mthreat: wow ok.. and you're in CR?
mircea_popescu had nfi idea what racism is ; and imagined it's mostly pretended. not so. i HATE argentines, fundamentally, and the only reason there's not 40 mn corpses in limed pits right now is that i don't have the pits.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform turns out no. "watching us tv -> retarded, guaranteed".
mircea_popescu: though in fairness the argentines have been argentining for a whole lot longer than cable tv existed. they're just bad stock.
mthreat seeing how many nautical miles CR is from Texas
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it HAS!!!11 pretenses of industry. if you ask the average fucktard they think themselves an industrialized nation. irl they farm soy and try to borrow for a living.
mthreat: 1379 nautical miles. 1 fuel stop minimum, probably more, unless I want to fly directly over the gulf
mircea_popescu: cr is a tiny nation, doesn't need to do anything in particular to survive. but at least they have the intelligence to produce cash crops like coffee rathert than commodity crops like fucking soy.
mthreat: i would, once I get a life raft :)
mircea_popescu: eh get out. for one thing the gulf is so fucking populated you'd be picked up in three hours. for the other, the thing flies better over water.
mthreat: water ditchings are pretty survivable, but on a non-retractable plane like mine, the risk of flipping over is real
mthreat: if I can add 1 hour to the travel time and eliminate that risk, sometimes it's worth it
mthreat: i wouldn't only pack a life vest, i'd wear it the whole flight!
mircea_popescu: afaik landing is the killer. if you get to land 1 hour fresher it's also worth the risk.
mthreat: well, any portion over open water
mthreat: asciilifeform: columbia 400
mthreat: but sopwith camel would be nice, guns and all
shinohai: The only person I have ever met that hated Argentines more than mircea_popescu was this girl I dated from Chile .... but evidently there is this long-standing hatred between the dos paises.
mircea_popescu: shinohai no, they just don't belong irl. girl has a point.
mthreat: actually it technically is a cessna 400 now, since 2008
mthreat: but it was built by columbia before cessna acquired them
mthreat: asciilifeform: you're probably referring to the brand-new price. the cessna 400 is a "certificated" aircraft, which means it costs more because it had to go through more FAA testing
mthreat: the albatros is under an "experimental" certificate, so it isn't subject to the same testing in the US
mthreat: (since it was never certificated in the US)
mircea_popescu: mthreat i might recommend eg villahermosa in mexico. or veracruz.
mthreat: you can carry passengers with either plane.
mthreat: mircea_popescu: i plan to do a bunch of flying to mexico soon. I flew along the rio grande a few weeks ago and my right wing was practically in mexico
mthreat: asciilifeform: many people don't - they fly "experimentals" and save lots of money
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, anyone flew wioth the 737-800 LATEST version ?
mthreat: 25k hours is a lot. the highest columbia probably has under 5k hours even today.
mircea_popescu: the thing's shockingly fabulous, i've never had that "This is an exquisite piece of machinery" feeling in any commercial plane before.
mthreat: ya the -800 is pretty new right
mircea_popescu: it's been revised and revised since the 80s. but they came up with some exceptional engine couplings in the last (2015 ?) iteration
mircea_popescu: it just shocked me, i have nfi how pilots don't kill to drive it, but the thing flows like an audi.
mircea_popescu steels himself for when someone's gonna want to be the lord of right good and proper.
shinohai: Only if of right good and proper shaggings
CompanionCube doesn't think the FPGA article plagiarises #trilema logz but I should most likely read/searc more to be confident about that

jurov: and we are to revisit that every year?
diana_coman: if it's settled/clear either way, certainly not
trinque: nah, and I'd be surprised if your welcome weren't unanimous
trinque: ftr I don't see a problem with jurov being on sabbatical if he returns
trinque: what, lord can't vacation?
diana_coman: my understanding is that a position is a person's to claim whenever he wants to/cares to, so sabbatical is certainly not a problem at all
danielpbarron: I have no objection to jurov as lord. all my interaction with him has been positive over the years. very clean migration of some of my assets from coinbr to eulora
mod6: I have no objections at all. Just curious if 'sabbatical' entailed a long enough absense to warrant someone else taking over as Foundation Treasurer.
mod6: Hopefully not, as jurov has completed his duties very well thus far.
jurov: mod6: the treasurer duty is very light one, so it's not a problem at all
CompanionCube would be interested in reading deedbot's source at some point
mod6: jurov: aha, ok good deal!
trinque: wot service shall be posted there at some unspecified future date

CompanionCube: *isnt' enough if you didn't originally find the idea somewhere else
shinohai: All these lurkers aren't her for nothing!
mircea_popescu: what's your word for "i'm just stating stuff others have said without referencing" ?
CompanionCube: mircea_popescu: coincidence or independent thought? Unless it's somewhere trivially easy to find, that is
CompanionCube: the scale of the internet and the world makes it more likely than not.
mircea_popescu: the problem is this : i/we don't deem $nobody capable of independent thought.
mircea_popescu: either you are somebody, in which case you may have ideas ; or else you are nobody, in which case you stole them.
mircea_popescu: not necessarily. but "here's a bootstrap website" certainly dun qualify.
mircea_popescu: that's definitionally a mfa, aka "i pick up rss feeds and wordspin for google". except here it's not for google, but for naive civillians.
mircea_popescu: in any case, dude droning on about "his ideas re evolution" is going to make a very poor impression. as they aren't his fucking ideas, and an apparent ignorance of the whole darwin thing does not plead in favour of either his intelligence or his culture.
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding that yes, evolution is an observable phenomenon.

mircea_popescu: that while not all of the us livestock is fit for either sexual slavery or "our democracy" whatever the fuck they would call their current activities ; "raising awareness and waiting for their day" whatever it may be -- nevertheless sexual slavery is a much more legitimate ASPIRATION than whatever they aspire to, namely "our democracy" or "speaking at a conference" or w/e the shit.
mircea_popescu: it's not clear to me what specifically they aspire to, but it IS clear to me that the plurious "variety" in that aspiration is strictly of the nature of the variant surface glycoproteins, protecting protozoans from the immune system
mircea_popescu: and in any case inferior to actual sexual slavery on the face.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i'd guess the closest to home summation would be "they aspire to be well regarded by an entity they can respect".
mircea_popescu: a doomed entreprise, obviously. even the more intelligent among the herd are actively laboring to make themselves intolerable and to undermine any possiblity of even vaguely respectable entities sharing their space.
mircea_popescu: which is pretty much how i'd sum up eg djb's recent debacle.
