sooo, i'm at the gym.

07:58

nice plushy couches for me ; the girls are working out across the glass.

07:58

SUPERVISION

~ 2 hours 25 minutes ~

10:23

I always found funny the "glass-cube" style of most gyms; I get it that one wants to look out some window but not so sure all gym goers want by definition to showcase their working out, lolz

~ 1 hours 8 minutes ~

11:32

i always thought it were so that 'pumpers' could show off their muscle to pedestrians

11:32

erry single public gym i've ever been to, had glass

11:46

asciilifeform, the doods were very offended by me, so likely.

11:46

diana_coman, i suppose it's cheap marketing fo rthe gym

11:46

one step below making you wear their tshirts

11:54

mp_en_viaje: well yes, quite; asciilifeform I actually know gym without glass and moreover actually impossible to see into from outside but yes, not the run of the mill gym

~ 16 minutes ~

12:10

(for the curious, 2 types I know of: one uses mirror-glass so transparent only one way; the other simply has normal windows (i.e. not full wall) but towards interior garden/area.)

12:16

3rd is at home.

12:17

obv, except this was about not-at-home gym or so I thought

12:21

tru

12:25

aha, i thought this was re the public sort, where you buy a ticket an' pump etc

12:25

mp_en_viaje: which doods, why offended ..?

12:26

the pumpers. i dunno why, cuz i didn;t give a shit ?

12:27

lol what did they expect mp_en_viaje to do.. stand and clap ??

12:28

in ameristan btw the exercise gear all has fittings for pnoje, and all eyes firmly glued to the respective little screen

12:28

well, i dunno exsctly. but i suspect that as people make these "deals" with "the world", they maybe made the deal whereby putting all that hard work in means therefore no male may ever intimidate them again ?

12:29

i have nfi whether this is how 'pumpers' think (possibly word 'think' isn't even applicable) but can't say it is impossible either

12:30

prolly when they see mp_en_viaje they think 'he pumps, somewhere else'

12:30

haha nah. i look like traditional euro male, what pumos.

12:31

rright but without gram of extra weight.

12:31

which nowadays is uncommon.

mp_en_viaje, asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-10#1912285 << amazon appears to have some of these models in stock, any reason for readers based in the zone to not scoop these up?

Logged on 2019-05-10 10:44 mp_en_viaje: in other news, i bought a buncha fx amds, 9590s, 9370s, 8370/8350 ; plus their respective a3+ boards, gigabyte, assus, w/e.

13:49

used mobos are always suspect, but otherwise notrly.

13:49

the above link is for the cpu, appears to be new-in-retail-box

13:50

aha. make sure you get adequate cooling for it, but otherwise no prob.

13:51

appear to be some listings that claim new AM3+ mobos available as well

13:51

this is good news for me, until reading that log line and doing some digging i was unaware anything was still available

13:51

anything pre TrustZone/PSP that is

13:52

imo they're actually good on their own merits, even without the trust consdierations.

billymg greatly regrets pawning off beautifully working 939 opteron on craigslist back in ~2012

i expect they're a decent investment, >real estate.

Especially in the US where there's so much land and so many sticks with which to build on it.

usually not worth unless you have ~particular~ mobo that you like and limited spares

So the sun went down, temperature dropped to 16C/60F and... Once again smog

This city is so incredibly rural everyone's gotta build a campfire to keep warm

asciilifeform stopped by another 'embassy expo', this time europistan. estonia pitched its 'startup incubator' scamolas. latvia had a d00d on a podium bragging about 'russian stooges cannot steal ~our~ election, won't even try any moar, we can see right through their lies, dunno why usa couldnt' etc . romania handed out samples of cheese, which tasted like cardboard, i did not taste anything in actual romania that resembled this rubbish. gre

20:28

the ro people have 1 thing tho : the afaik single biggest shortwave antenna in the whole city. ( pictured e.g. here )

20:29

Meanwhile in outer barrio properties for the entertainment of billymg et al https://inmueble.mercadolibre.com.uy/MLU-462251834-oportunidad-casa-quinta-en-venta-por-viaje-65ha-_JM

20:30

*greece -- passed out cups of rotgut.

20:31

BingoBoingo: i still dunget why interesting, they cost ~= as in ameristan

20:31

it's exactly reminiscent of mircea_popescu's argentines

20:32

'for sale : 3 bricks from a conquistador fort that burned down in 1500s. 200k usd.' etc

20:32

6 hectares, big concrete fortress, comes in well under equivalent back in old country

20:33

320 sq. m. indoors tho.

20:33

i think mp's shed in ro was bigger.

20:34

320 sqm is just under 3500 square feet

20:34

~2 or 3 US ranch houses

20:35

BingoBoingo: or about 1.5 new york subway cars.

20:36

Still 145 kilodollars back in the midwest buys about half the square footage on 1/12th to 1/24th the lot

asciilifeform believes

20:38

It's the sorta thing you show the US pyramid schemers

20:39

the chatter of the 'precious cuntlets' at the expo was 'interesting' -- 'which law school are you at?' '..something..' 'ugh! i hear it's fulla republicans!' etc

20:40

'got job at xyz policymaking(tm)(r) institute! it's great, went to vietnam last month and next month to...'

20:40

'we lobby against tobacco'

20:44

If only they were born here they could wear unicef t-shirts and scam the locals

20:44

in estonian embassy : old ameri-d00d was bragging to ambassador, 'i was the first sent to set up cia station in your capital !'

20:44

book case fulla 'atrocities of communism' etc

20:45

( likbez : the 'sprat men' had highest standard of living in entire sovok. today -- lowest in eureich, 50-60% of male population cleaning toilets in berlin, london )

20:46

poster : 'estonia spent 2.6% of gdp on war materiel; 0.6 higher than nato's mandatory min!'

20:47

BingoBoingo: there's prolly a snakepit fulla these folx somewhere in montevideo

20:47

1, in restaurant, bragged : 'i set up the 'peace corps' english teaching corner in tbilisi'

20:48

There's the Alianza Cultural EEUU on Paraguay

20:48

Lowest bidder in the City for English lessons

20:50

poster : 'come to estonia, where we legalized self-driving cars!'

20:52

From time to time national interest groups will set up exhibitions at the Intendencia

20:54

Chinese seem to be building a fishing base on the outskirts of the city

20:54

There's just not much money for the snakes to make a pit for

~ 1 hours 55 minutes ~

22:50

That was a hell of a netsplit

http://btcbase.org/log/2019-05-11#1912532 << very likely to get from this period, seeing a3+ socket is contemporaneous

23:02

BingoBoingo, sounds very latin america, tbh. years ago they "discussed the soviet union" while not properly shoveling cow dung. but they had opinions and considered considerations.

23:02

now they're commenting netflix, while not properly shoveling cow dung.

23:03

in another thousand years, the latinos will be living in the exact same stable, discussing importantly whatever happens then, the aliens.

~ 15 minutes ~

23:18

When alf was here the Intendencia either had or was prepping for a Russia exhibition

23:19

But yes. Latin America endures through shared meaning.

23:19

Life is cheaper in Asia, Costs more in LATAM because no one shoveled

23:29

mp_en_viaje: not only that period. i have strong suspicion that 'capacitor plague' never trooly ended, or will

23:30

no plague ever truly ends. so yeah.

23:30

good % of the electrolytics on the shelf even today, won't give anywhere like decade of life

23:31

this is why if one runs vintage gear, really must have basic kindergarten solder-fu, or have friends who do.

23:32

( for comparison: sovok electrolytics still goin' strong worldwide. and prolly will for next century. )

23:33

i have multiple period boards that have been working fine. from experience, no vid card = no problem.

23:34

it also helps if board was cleverly designed , such as to put'em reasonably far from the 200 (400, in one of mine.. 2x) watt of cpu

23:35

the chinese (fraudulently stamped 'taiyo yuden') caps, rot even when switched off.

23:35

the fx 9k series are ~210. the 8k are just 125, it's not so terrible.

23:36

with decent airflow - yea

23:37

yea.
