vex: 'holiday' is sumthing sarariman w/ 1 job does

00:08

in su intelligentsia was not automatically "nerds", in fact шестидесятники culture was all about guitar, campfire, whitewater canoeing, arctic expeditions and month long backpacking trips to wilderness. so this whole american "wendel" thing is still odd to me. i did my hiki time when i came here, ended up learning a lot of useful stuff, but

00:08

would not do it again

"No." "Have you read Dostoevsky?" "No." "Can you read at all?" The Chukcha, offended, replies, "Chukcha not reader, Chukcha writer!"'

00:23

are you finding shit you forgot you owned, with the relocation?

00:23

Be pleased with the jokes, asciilifeform; for some reason, they joke about me with the pregnant men emojis, remember.

00:23

vex: asciilifeform not old enuff to have 'forgot owned' lol

00:24

it might be a vodka thing

This channel is naught but politics much of the time; we switch to programming, to hear crickets.

00:26

verisimilitude still supposes they're meaningfully separable subj, dun he

00:26

if only were so

00:27

Programming is mathematics, and mathematics isn't politics.

00:27

verisimilitude: should've seen ye olde #t

00:27

Do tell.

00:28

asciilifeform will let the logs tell

00:28

shinohai

Be kind and read teh logs to him asciilifeform he is pregnant after all.

00:29

lol

00:29

asciilifeform would come up with 'emoji' but these dunwork on his terminal..

00:30

they work on the commercial boxen, but the only emoji ever needed there is 'steaming pile of shit'

00:31

there's 1 where a face spews a river of green barf, also handy

00:33

Everyone here is in his separate world, and there's merely some overlap, right? This is what most programming discussions feel like to me, everyone working on separate things, barely understood by the others most of the time.

00:33

verisimilitude: not meant as a barf, but afaik yours is the only 'separate world' atm

00:33

errybody else moar or less in 1

00:34

That's fair, not that it makes particular difference from my view.

00:34

nuffin wrong w/ this per se. asciilifeform not running a mp-style penal battalion.

00:34

mats

not yet

00:35

but 'erryone in separate worlds' aint accurate imho.

00:35

oh no you didn mats

http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-05-26#1103363 << can make a decent bolt action for cheap without cutting too many corners. plastic stock, various niceties, but ultimately you have a barrel and a bolt. weatherby mark v goes for 3000$, vanguard which is their low end brand is 700$ etc.

00:36

Logged on 2022-05-26 13:51:56 asciilifeform: surprised how cheap that 308

00:36

what are you shooting phf? deer?

00:36

phf: right, but got accustomed to how the ~last item still 'made in usa'(tm) tends to be 4fig+

00:37

( esp. when machined parts. machinist lives in usa, and wants to afford to also have farm and own shooting field too, lol )

00:37

i've never shot one, or seen one, but i suspect vanguard is same barrel and same bolt in a cheap "synthetic" stock

00:39

vex: with a 308-- deer

00:40

*

asciilifeform guessed that , with 308, it aint e.g. hare

00:40

nor elephant

00:41

we have `big rabbits' in oz

00:41

in usa, 308 is for deer and bipeds

big rabbits is regulation friendly speak for a certain large type of marsupial that will fuck with your crops

00:51

out here they say "just remember the three s's: shoot, shovel, and shut up"

00:53

iirc in au plebes permitted to shoot at most with bow, and then only if licensed aboriginal, lol

00:55

it's complicated

00:57

"bullet once in air can not under article 3.15 of au penal code cross the designated covid zone lines, unless both the rifleman and the animal are up to date on their vaccination status, otherwise the death is designated as a covid death and might result in an area lockdown"

02:29

This is stupid.

02:29

02:30

I sent a poem in which each line is three words, vex.

02:30

Rather, each verse is.

asciilifeform considers folx who dun show symptoms of mining salt 'rich' , categorically

Logged on 2022-05-26 19:50:05 asciilifeform: for asciilifeform 'nightlife' is when idiocy at terminal at dawn, or into wee hrs

02:37

sorta what it means

02:38

Wouldn't that be true regardless of the way one be rich, then, asciilifeform?

02:39

why'd it matter how

02:39

most of the richest have popped off

02:39

Yes, exactly.

02:39

too busy et al\

02:40

attempts to 'richest' indeed 1 way for 'pop off' for rich

02:40

( among others )

Logged on 2021-11-03 14:50:32 asciilifeform: finds interesting that there appears to be a danger zone on the ~upper~ end of things, i.e. 'mortido' taking forms of e.g. costly substance abuse, costa rica swims, etc. many moar ameri-millionaires burned in chopper crashes than from plebe bullet, always found this interesting.

02:41

I was just curious, not measuring peens.

02:41

vex seems to have time for excess.

02:41

I put myself like that

02:46

nyah drown

02:47

in fact, as a waterman, i'm probalbly unsurpassed

02:47

*

asciilifeform not been to water for 3+y nao. tho relatives own beach house. will have to drown in bath

02:50

*

vex would have asciilofeform aboard. straight to the engine room

02:50

then back on deck. it's take 15 minutes

02:51

The water is overrated.

02:52

feel free to get a plane to anywhere verisimilitude

02:52

Then again, life is also overrated, so this advice isn't at all helpful.

02:52

asciilifeform last 'took holiday' to.. have covid. and before then, to.. have covid. and before then... dun remember ( even when went to ro, had saltmine gear in the attache case and worked nights )
