01:35 danielpbarron i found a karaoke venue that lets me sing "offensive" songs. at some point after i finished singing one of my songs, a girl calls for my attention using my name. i don't recall what i said, but her reply was to say that i was "rude" to her. i lose interest and walk away. later on i'm outside having a smoke and she confronts me again. says she "has a bone to pick" with me about something she heard i had said to one of her male frien

10:36 phf` on mac when you search for UTC in timezones, the system helpfully offers "UTC - United Kingdom" and sets timezone to GMT. little know fact: great britain switches from GMT to BST, British Summer Time during summer months. welcome to computers!

10:39 mircea_popescu phf` not that little known, spent half hour trying to syncronize watches with uk resident engineers coupla weeks back
10:41 phf` i'm mostly just find it fascinating how everything is broken in subtle ways
10:42 mircea_popescu lemme tell you a story.
10:43 mircea_popescu so, girl discovered this very promising place. in charge of it, this stunning beauty of an actress/real estate agent. you understand me ? this girl did understand you can't make it as an actress without money, but she didn't go into prostitution, or waitressing, like all others. she got herself real estate firm.
10:43 mircea_popescu she got a nice place on the cheap no doubt -- hey, what else is the point of being in real estate ? -- and spent a year furnishing it into a concept restaurant.
10:44 mircea_popescu she has a kitchen, an art exhibition where a young painter who was not even untalented! was working on his (really, not bad) stuff, a wine whatever, everything.
10:45 mircea_popescu girl does not speak english, did not steal the idea. she came up with it on her own. hired actual actresses for waitstaff, they throw fits and rant around, to the unspeakable confusion of (all other) patrons.
10:45 mircea_popescu pretty sweet set-up, wouldn't you say ?
10:46 phf` it's nifty, i think i've seen variations on the idea, but this sounds like a solid execution
10:46 mircea_popescu ok. now, wanna guess the subtle ways or shall i just say ?
10:47 mod6 are the guests somehow integrated into some sort of daily script?
10:47 mircea_popescu mod6 all improv, it's the 2010s after all.
10:47 mod6 ahh.
10:47 mod6 cool
10:47 mircea_popescu but i belittled and insulted the mousy brunette playing the ocd type, we had a lot of fun.
10:48 phf` i'm not sure how you can subtly fuck up that one
10:48 mircea_popescu ha!
10:49 mircea_popescu 1. the restaurant was unvented. if you went on the loft above of it, you could thouroughly smell it. so would your clothes if you spent enough there -- such as, time for a meal.
10:50 mircea_popescu utterly noob mistake. i've owned restaurants enough to know you build the whole fucking kitchen around the vent, first you put that in then you places the stoves. how's she to know and how's she to guess ?
10:50 mircea_popescu 2. the new-age-y dood handling the wine was offewring wine icecreams. fabulous, really. all vegan, he informed us insistently -- coconut base. they really did taste good.
10:50 mircea_popescu what did he do ?
10:52 phf` opened a bottle, used it a little bit, corked it again, to use again later?
10:52 mircea_popescu lol. no see, he's not fucking braindamaged. he's just excited and means well.
10:52 mircea_popescu he put salt in. chunks, not flakes or anything. i fished out half dozen pea sized rocks of salt.
10:52 phf` ugh, i'm not sure which one's worse
10:53 mircea_popescu i pointed out to him he's not supposed to do that, salt is terrible for your health. he explained it's hymalayan rock salt, has no fluoride, is all good for health.
10:53 phf` ahaha
10:53 mircea_popescu i asked him why he put it in though, he explained "to neutralize the bla bla bla".
10:53 mircea_popescu see ?
10:53 mircea_popescu this is my point, wrapped up : it's not even conspiraci , not in the general sense.
10:53 mircea_popescu it's the well meaning ignorance that conspires to fuck people's shit up.
10:54 mircea_popescu yet another aspect of that endless "your own head is your first and only enemy".
10:55 mircea_popescu subtle flaws, because nobody has any books and the masters all went to boring island and are sitting there fishing all day or i dunno wtf.
10:56 phf` there's too many places to name that fuck up the whole vent thing. there's a small cafe next to my apartment that i can't go to because they don't have exhaust. but i think it's a general "oh we need to cook? i'm going to replicate my mom's kitchen". at least they now all get proper stoves, probably after watching cooking shows where fire goes "woosh" when it's cooking
10:56 mircea_popescu heh
10:57 mircea_popescu moreover, they get proper stoves because they can't get shitty stoves anywhere.
10:57 mircea_popescu that's where the whole "upgrade or die" software nonsense comes from/
10:57 mircea_popescu if the eu hadn't made it illegal, people'd still drive 1950 cars around the eu. like you know, smog filled paris. what, his car did the smog ?
10:58 mircea_popescu but since bad venting you needn't get anywhere specifically, they still have it.
10:59 * diana_coman knows people who LIKE the smell/to smell of food; I'm quite sure they know also what hunger means - firsthand as it were, even if in their past rather than present
10:59 mircea_popescu if supermarkets offered the old, hand cranked washing machine, there'd be households with the handcranked washing machine. and blogs dedicated to how it's better. and so forth.
11:00 mircea_popescu diana_coman let's distingush "smell of food" as in ie mp cooks for three and "smell of kitchen", as in, restaurant. it's not the smell of any specific food just like the sewer is not the smell of any specific ass. yes some people like some asses, but that's as far as it goes.
11:00 phf` diana_coman: i think smell of food is different in home kitchen vs industrial kitchen like at a restuarant
11:00 mircea_popescu right.
11:02 phf` oils and other particles are carried by constant steam, accumulate on surfaces, start catching dust and dirt particles, etc. it's straight up unhygienic.
11:02 diana_coman makes some sense; to me though "smell of food" is fine as long as it's more like flavour of thing on the plate, NOT smell from the kitchen ; those people like that smell from the kitchen; admittedly it's still not industrial so yeah, there is something there
11:02 mircea_popescu yeah. basically it's large scale fat distillation. might as well sit atop a refinery tower.
11:03 mircea_popescu phf` is there a ru equiv of the "ciorba de spalatoare" ro concept ? dishcloth borscht ?
11:05 phf` ahaha, that's a great metaphor. i think somebody, possibly Gogol had some similarly visceral imagery, but i don't remember it as a phrase
11:06 mircea_popescu eyah, somehow teh socialist masquerading as co-op-ist isn't quite prepared for a) his nonsense to be readily identified, "rock soup, rly?" and b) the obvious "just make sure it's not dishcloth borscht" ready counter.
11:06 mircea_popescu i guess somehow the obvious got unhappened in all languages because why would they wanna think of such things!
11:07 asciilifeform hey, americans rediscovered it : dishwasher ( i shit thee not ) fish.
11:07 mircea_popescu koi ?
11:08 asciilifeform no, as method of preparation
11:08 mircea_popescu (i have azn friend who likes trying to bother me. feigned surprise at how we here in the decadent west let the toilet water go to waste, when we could raise a koi in there. jsut think alf! millions of toilets! tons of carp!)
11:09 mircea_popescu significantly helped by the fact that carp is, in romanian, crap. literally. you can buy "icre de crap" ie crap roe.
11:09 shinohai That sounds disgusting.
11:09 mircea_popescu asciilifeform wait, wut ?!
11:09 mircea_popescu shinohai when you realise that's what it does whether in the toilet or not, you will... shit bricks and pellets of fishfood.

11:10 mircea_popescu oh for fucks sake
11:10 phf` come to think of it the whole exhaust in the kitchen applies to other cases where exhaust is mandatory: i like the small of soldering rosin or the smell of freshly sawed wood, but i wouldn't want to spend much time in a workshop that doesn't have an exhaust. and you have similar failure mode: "come all to work on projects!" hackerspaces notoriously don't have exhaust

20:50 mircea_popescu asciilifeform amusingly, the dude's not even stupid. but this notion that not being stupid suffices to think is not unlike the notion that... well... everything else.

20:58 mircea_popescu the reason being that there's a whole troop of intellectuals who missed their web development calling and instead of sitting on compuer all day checking out what's new in rust they just collate crap from across the youtube.

21:45 mircea_popescu prisons have this very interesting fermentive effect for democracies. basically, it's easy enough to pretend like "our democracy" while the bread's still flowing ; once that stops, as it always does -- suddenly it's impossible for the "our democracy" pretense to insulate itself from the authoritatian restructuring the prison drives into society.
21:45 mircea_popescu maintaining "our democracy" compatible prisons is too expensive ; not maitaining them produces the sops problem, which is a surer "democracy" solvent than austrian painters named adolf.
21:46 mircea_popescu and yes, "democracy" is in quotes because it has no substance, can at most ever be a varnish and no more.

22:39 asciilifeform though so far even this obvious pill is ,in typical usg style, being done in reverse -- srsly, they banned smoking in prison!
