ericbot: Logged on 2019-09-19 15:19:56 asciilifeform: ( lobbes : dun fughet to 1) verify and then 2) strip out the pgpisms in this dump , when eating )

lobbes: likewise, diana_coman I followed same procedures as asciilifeform for dropping lines < 1000000 and fed your dump to my logger. Ate fine and no issues that I can see via spot checks.

snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-19 15:38:17 BingoBoingo: Well she left her girlfriend here

mircea_popescu can't discern if BingoBoingo is intimating he's the girlfriend ; or that he's got a pair ; or that there's independently a pair of lezzies he's following around ; or what.

mircea_popescu: meanwhile this comment is so good ima recommend it to reading in teh general

diana_coman: mircea_popescu: thank you for the comment; I'll chew on it.

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Dentist Venezolana left a PR/Receptionist Venezolana behind

BingoBoingo: They are a pair I met the first night in country

diana_coman: hanbot: you have broken trilema links on your blog as they still use polimedia.us eg those in http://thewhet.net/2012/11/shall-be-delivered/

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: meanwhile, at the scrap dealer, asciilifeform picked up 12 pairs of ~mint-condition rack rails for 50 $ . 9 x '1u', 4 x '2u' .

asciilifeform: (normally they retail for 50-100 ea., which is imho outrageous, but fact.)

asciilifeform: i'm still pissed that these can't be bought in the south americas and have to be flown, wtf monkey men

BingoBoingo: Well, PC towers in datacenter racks. Front bolt only switches and routers in office WIFI RACKS

asciilifeform: saw these, aha

asciilifeform: eye-popping.

asciilifeform: ( for folx who haven't been to piz house : picture desktop 'dell's stacked 12 high )

asciilifeform: some of'em even yellowing-white , clearly 15+ y.o. items

BingoBoingo: Other racks clearly filled with things made for racking

asciilifeform: i couldn't help but wonder what these people do when they need to pull one from inside the stack

BingoBoingo: A number of the tower racks do have a sort of shelving installed preventing the tower cases from being load bearing

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: lulzily, the dealer sold these with a rack, also brand-new, back an' front doors & all. i have sadly nowhere for another rack to live, let'im keep it

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: lol i missed 1 in 1st count aha

mircea_popescu: still, this is what value adding is all about, made pizarro half a bitcent today!

asciilifeform: they were all matching pairs tho.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i make regular visits to the scrapyards, sometimes find a++ deals.

asciilifeform: ~all of asciilifeform's torture room furnishings, from there.

asciilifeform: there was a crate of tank pressure regulators stamped 'hydrogen' , 'patent 1943', but dun think i could bring myself to use these.

asciilifeform: meanwhile, from the lulzcollector traps : usg nuke ministry's attempt at ffa. ( for bonus laffs, they apparently have a shithub, fulla misc. opensores rubbishes ...)

asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-20#1937444 << BingoBoingo : when asciilifeform showed pet photo of that chix, was asked 'why the fuck didntcha bring her in as pet!' lol

asciilifeform: see also e.g.

asciilifeform: + oblig trilema .

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: As far as I can tell Harvard, MIT, WUStl, U Chicago, Stanford, et al are functionally little more than Cathedrals of Pantsuitism where the self loathing go to get their benedictions and such

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: nominally organized army of great inca, aha; but on the periphery , all sortsa oddball barnacles attached

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not an army so much as a clergy

asciilifeform: like the old clergy, plenty of simoniacs, back-scratchers, misc. hangers-on

BingoBoingo: Armies seize wealthy by force of arms. Clergies seize wealth by force of guilt.
