mircea_popescu: asciilifeform depending on his answer ima -1 "advertised the wrong thing".
mircea_popescu: man, reading ye olde trilemas is such a pleasure. really amassed over the years.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-23 22:14 asciilifeform: there's a reason they try to set up 'fucked 17yo' for these, it is a kind of gold standard, rather like the old 'trotskyite counter-revolutionary activity', tends to put a cork in all discussion in derposphere by harnessing the healthy hatred for podesta-style pedo, insta-alchemizes accusation into 'guilt', etc

mircea_popescu: from, eg, someone who had a fucking clue about medieval history AT ALL.
deedbot: anniez voiced for 30 minutes.
mircea_popescu: hey trinque, does !!register <newykey> and decripting otp work to replace old key with new ? or is it hand-cranked ?
BingoBoingo: In other news, some kid up in Salto became the first case of Leishmaniasis in Uruguay
BingoBoingo: Thankfully Salto is about as far from me as possible in Uruguay, but...
BingoBoingo: But will the Uruguayos stop being poor and start pressure washing the Pichis off the street? I have my doubts until the redditbags start inflating
mircea_popescu: nfi what that has to do with anything, sandflies aren't bum driven
BingoBoingo: If they can't clean up bums, I have my doubts they can clean up the sandflies
BingoBoingo: If the bums got "derechos humanos" the sandflies gotta have "derechos sandflies"
mircea_popescu: some places had success with nightly plowhing of beaches.
mircea_popescu: those places are large, rich, landlocked countries with small shorelines. not poor new world/africa shitholes with more beach than real estate.
BingoBoingo: Beaches in Montevideo get plowed, but not nightly. Salto's not much of a beach town. More of a hot springs town. On the Uruguay river rather than the big one

mats: my apologies for the delayed report. i attempted the esp8266 experiment with a rigol ds1054z, only to discover the standard probe isn't sensitive enough
mats: after some false starts, i've made arrangements to briefly return to hk in the spring and begin the process to acquire a permanent id card, after applying for the right to abode, which should have no issues as i was born there
mats: i also expect to have no issues acquiring a tw passport, and will be available for republican business if its asked of me
mats: flights are surprisingly cheap, LAX to HKG nonstop (roundtrip) is ~$500
mats: once i have my tw passport, i will be able to apply for an MTP (mainland travel permit), which will allow for 90d stays in china proper
mats: i believe there is an equivalent for hk, but my intentions are to stay in tw, due to familial contacts in the area, as well as comparatively lower cost of living
mircea_popescu: tw works just fine. say when you got the mtp thing, i suspect we'll have some t for you to do.
mircea_popescu: 19th centuries "wars" (in the don pacifico or agadir crisis sense) were started for less.
mircea_popescu: chinese fleet bombarding san francisco harbor >1% probable.
BingoBoingo: China's already talking with aggression. No archive links to English language publications for misrepresenting the abduction as a kidnapping across the board.
BingoBoingo: Girl was doing business stuff in Canada, and then Canada kidnapped her for extradition to New York

BingoBoingo: But not as brassy, and dude did go to the Somaliland of Minnesota probably expecting to visit Nordic America
mircea_popescu: previous attempt of something like this was probably aafia siddiqui. it ~cost them afghanistan, in any practical sense.
lobbes: I just made a tiny fix to auctionbot. Everything seems to be working well and I don't anticipate any problems. Still, I'll be around for the rest of today in case there are.
lobbes: (for the curious: I had overlooked the fact that when a "buy" type auction ends the usual messaging (e.g. "...Item SOLD to Person for...") had to change to reflect this (i.e. had to change it to "...Item SOLD --by-- Person for..."))
lobbes wonders if this is actually a bug in the english language. Closest word I could think of to denote both "to/by" was "via", but that does not really work in this case
lobbes: yeah, on second thought ambiguity in a language is not really a good thing huh
mircea_popescu: !!rate l0de -1 yet another one of these, "uluitii pulii mele".
phf: there's a dozen of different brands for both, i'll have to sample them all until i figure out the most authentic flavor
phf: diana_coman: i've updated all the available sigs
phf: asciilifeform: i've noticed that with some of the products here, a lot of them have GoST as a kind of branding, since i suspect it's barely regulated, but the quality of substandard.
phf: this one is gost 280-2009, i'm not a visual machine at the moment to track it down though
diana_coman: milk and sprats, such care; where's the caviar :p
diana_coman: and what, do you have problem getting sprats??
diana_coman: also for different asciilifeform -care: www.vidra-orastie.com/caciuli/caciuli-rusesti
diana_coman: not as if there's no choice of fur hats; those remind me of the old one in which my great-grandmother kept newly hatched chicken to keep them warm, lol
phf: diana_coman: heh, the chicken in a fur hat story was passed on in my family also
diana_coman: I got to know my great-grandmother and she lived in the countryside, in the plains too (where it gets scorching hot in the summer and bitterly cold in winter)
phf: diana_coman: my great-grandparents were all moved into the city by the time i was a grownup, they could only recall the olden days, not really demonstrate them
diana_coman: asciilifeform, you know, that sounds like good-old commie style: it's banned, but local police will close eyes for so long as x
phf: asciilifeform: it's a thing in san francisco apparently, saw it in two different tech komunalkas
diana_coman can picture asciilifeform's chicken-holding out of c101pa and similar
phf: they are sf houses, for a large family, or 5 roommates (+ their poorer, semi permanently present partners). they have small-ish backyards, where you can have a small coup
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform idiomatic, something between "kicking and screaming" and "on hands and knees"
a111: Logged on 2018-12-06 21:14 asciilifeform: it's somewhat funny also because asciilifeform's parents, 3 decades ago, went to ro also for clothing/shoes
a111: Logged on 2017-11-22 00:48 mircea_popescu: depends. 80s were insufferable (but, according to eg stanculescu, still better than ru). 70s were supposedly great. 60s ro was ahead of the post-war pack, but still... europe. even the french had malnutrition.
