BingoBoingo: This is exactly vermin behavior of the same sort asciilifeform observed when he saw squirrels hapily munching nuts while resting on dead squirrels
mod6: just made this amazing venison & porkbutt burger w blue cheese.
mod6: it's hard to do venison right, but when it's good, it's really good.
mircea_popescu: what duke of this called himself "a warrior" and what the holy fuck, i thought this guy was supposed to be literate ? wtf happened at, say, agincourt ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the reddit commoner existed in the time of orwell just as well.
mircea_popescu: mod6 i had cashew paste (little butter, hint of balsamic, fenilgreek and tarragon) salmon. with a very fine bottle of chianti. just waking up from the food coma.
mod6: wow. that sounds awesome too.
mircea_popescu: yes, but who were our victims ? we call ourselves web developers (we do ?) but what about all the wealth and priviledge ?!?!?!
mircea_popescu: shmucky mcschmuckson has the utmost respect for us as novel writers, note.
mircea_popescu: guy brought back the whole of the spanish colonial empire, england indian-gifted him a shitty palace.
mircea_popescu: possibly the best piece re englishittery, that story. the normans were fucking right and truly should have exterminated that most miserable race.
mircea_popescu: well, latin idea originally, but anyway. latins couldn't bring themselves to care. i can readily see why.
mircea_popescu: anyway. three fucking kings did john, duke of marlborough make. just like warwick centuries prior.
danielpbarron made fettuccine and cheese sauce with broccoli and chicken
mircea_popescu: aite, that sold me. ima make pasta in white sauce tomorrow.
BingoBoingo: Sam will have the asian style noodles in cuck sauce
shinohai: Happy World Naked Gardening Day BingoBoingo .... I trust you will celebrate in style.
mircea_popescu: (unlike eg "biking naked", gardening naked makes a lot of sense. skin washes better than any garment, which is why sane societies have kids under 10 or so in the buff. way the fuck better to step on the anglotard notions of "pudicity" than to crimp the kids' style.)
shinohai is all for any holiday that involves nudity.,,,
mircea_popescu: and holy shit what the fuck IS EVEN THE POINT of spell checkers. today it says pudicity is misspelled, yesterday it said vagal is misspelled, day before that earworm was misspelled, and unverbalizable and paddlings, and slavegirl and peni and snuck for fuck's sake. and on it fucking goes.
mircea_popescu: this isn't even counting the failures of pretense, like supposedly chinese is misspelled because hey, gotta have capital, or organised is misspelled because hey, somebody cares what harvard thinks.
mircea_popescu: basically it's 95% fail hits, most because no vocabulary. i don't think it'd pass the baccalaureate. wtf is wrong with people
shinohai: I agree .... I use aspell with a custom dictionary it is so bad.
mircea_popescu: and we're not even talking about the cases where the writer ISN'T FUCKING MONOLINGUAL like some sort of esl mongoloid. good luck with that.
mircea_popescu: possibly the poster child of ustardation, the spellchecker. "it helps" by resolving the 80% of the problem, which shouldn't even exist, because the sort of people whom it helps have no fucking business writing anything ever in any case.
lobbes: <mircea_popescu> [17:38:46] possibly the poster child of ustardation, the spellchecker << somewhat-related lulzy ad. "Are your customer service monkeys illiterate? There's an app for that!11" >>

phf`: some mission impossible shit right there, up yourself in 30 seconds (no gpg automation!) before the nickserv force change non-identified nick
phf`: i feel like i have to do it roughly once a year, in fact, every time freenode changes their ssl. i listened to the advice of the wise this time and switched to plain text
mircea_popescu: there is a problem with long lived connections. what if you lose the terminal ?
phf`: perhaps i could make the bouncer !!down after some time, when there's no client connection (similar to how right now it sets an Away)
phf`: i take it, you don't use a bouncer, it's a long running xchat from your bunker?
mircea_popescu: but i certainly don't delegate the authority to some bouncer. wtf is this, the chinese imperial court ?
phf`: this is a proper house of lords, there's a quorum, but most of the "present" members are "asleep"
mircea_popescu: well, you always gotta strike a balance. if you keep people physically in a room to listen to what you say as youi say it, they will go mad. they're present in a specific sort of ghost form.
diana_coman: phf`, fwiw I am reading and I usually do; however, I tend to not talk much
phf`: oh i agree, i just thought an irc bouncer as an empty shell painted to look like the owner is amusing, or perhaps an aging lord dosing off
phf`: a half empty hall, with old lords, most of them asleep or otherwise engaged in completely unrelated activities, etc.
mircea_popescu: really, it's everyone's own and arbitrary job to keep the thing running in such a way as to not come to regret it later.
mircea_popescu: which incidentally is the ACTUAL golden rule. forget zamak that usually passes for it in the mouths of slaves. the rule is, "do so as to not come to regret doing."
mircea_popescu: there's no space for "others", or complicated java-style functions with no explicit domain and no static compilation.
