01:18 BingoBoingo Some folks mine hashes, I mine blogdeaths
01:18 mircea_popescu hehehe
01:18 BingoBoingo Anyways, no people in NY this century
01:18 BingoBoingo Especially not manhattan
01:19 mircea_popescu pretty fucking lulzy to look back in the timeline and stumble over perfect calls.
01:20 BingoBoingo Seriously. Lately I've been enjoying the private satisfaction of Colita de Cuadril passing "Suprema de Ave" as the premium protein per peso cut of critter
01:20 mircea_popescu meanwhile in other http://btcbase.org/log/2019-02-14#1896552 : smoked sprats served with penne al'olio, with vinegar pickles on the side and a sprinkling of capers is easily the most representatively venetian dish i ever had -- notwithstanding as far as i know i just invented it in my own kitchen
01:20 a111 Logged on 2019-02-14 19:28 mircea_popescu: because they're talking veneto.
01:20 mircea_popescu must try to believe.
01:21 BingoBoingo The seacritters to eat here... are lacking in variety
01:25 BingoBoingo Anyways, last I checked the corpse, Hamilton Nolan still not fired because he's the op's Political Officer.
01:25 mircea_popescu is this the dumb fat fuck from iowa ?
01:26 BingoBoingo Nah, the wannabe muscle dude. Looks almost exactly like Stomer's Anglin in 320x240 photos
01:26 BingoBoingo Iowa is just about all fat fucks. That's pig county
01:29 BingoBoingo Sample of the HamNo mentality https://archive.is/WtEVs
01:29 BingoBoingo "CAN YOU BELIEVE THEY HAVE THAT SHIT IN THEIR CONTRACT? IF I HAD KNOWN THAT WAS EVEN A POSSIBILITY I WOULD HAVE TRIED TO GET THAT IN MY OWN DAMN CONTRACT. YOU CAN’T LAY ME OFF, EVER? YOU MUST FIND ME A NEW JOB IN PERPETUITY? I HAVE BECOME KING OF THE WORKPLACE AND ALL I SURVEY. THE MIGHTY UNION HAS GRANTED US ALL A JOB FOR LIFE. BOW DOWN."
01:31 mircea_popescu it's how traditional marriage works, neh ? "can divorce the stupid cunt through the process of finding her a hubstitute. can also divorce prison or military service the same way"
01:31 BingoBoingo The eniggament
01:31 BingoBoingo NOT EVERYTHING IS MEANT TO BE MARRIED TO EVERYOTHER THING
01:32 BingoBoingo Otherwise the ring budget outruns the beef budget very quickly
01:32 mircea_popescu ya well
01:33 mircea_popescu anyway, the derpage's misplaced, what the fuck did he think "tenure" was ?
01:34 BingoBoingo Pretty much this https://longform.org/posts/my-kasual-kountry-weekend-with-the-knights-of-the-ku-klux-klan
01:35 BingoBoingo And oddity of oddities, the link to Gawker.com resolves alive
01:41 BingoBoingo In other undyings, apparently mozilla now exists to keep Java runtime alive https://archive.is/PhKa8
01:42 mircea_popescu http://trilema.com/2016/modernism-and-traditionalism/#selection-489.1-511.1 strangely related.
01:43 BingoBoingo It's a mad world
01:43 mircea_popescu billymg, some dood bought it in bankruptcy proceedings last year. "23 million '''''''''visitors''''''''' " commanded ~$1.5mn. contrasting with http://trilema.com/2011/evaluari-rationale-in-ro/#comment-86130 one can peg intervening inflation at 300% over seven years.
01:44 mircea_popescu (which is actually quite close to reality ; certainly way the fuck close than anything reported by usg bureaucracy)
01:48 mircea_popescu i mean BingoBoingo
01:52 BingoBoingo What can I say, the future is autocorrupt

11:49 asciilifeform meanwhile, in olds, asciilifeform's 'xor 2 small numbers'+'say fg baud' spam filter seems to be 100% effective (a 1st?!) -- 0 spams in trap since installed ( legit comments , not many , but work -- tho there were never many )
12:02 mircea_popescu a spam trap with 0 spams in it is not much of a trap hm ?
12:02 asciilifeform lol reduntant heh
12:02 asciilifeform *redundant
12:02 mircea_popescu oic
12:03 asciilifeform ( it's the stock ancient-wp trap )
12:03 mircea_popescu "since stuffing buttplugs in all the slavegirls buttholes, there's 0 HS in the toilet gastrap. and their assholes still work, i checked -- though they never saw much use before either."
12:04 asciilifeform well no, wouldn't be interesting then, they still manage to take occasional shit
12:04 mircea_popescu "my concubine -- just when i figured she's about to deliver, she turned out to be fulla shit."
12:04 asciilifeform ( dozen or so actual comments since glued in )
12:05 asciilifeform i gotta bake a 'recent comments' thing like mircea_popescu has , tho ( possibly will crib from his )
12:05 mircea_popescu whainot.
12:06 asciilifeform when i get a chance to fiddle with my wp again, tho, would 1st like to find & kill the uniturdation thing
12:06 asciilifeform presently i have nfi where it is
12:06 mircea_popescu which ?
12:06 asciilifeform where it corrupts quotes, ellipsis, longstrokes, into uniturds
12:07 mircea_popescu oh. lmao.
12:07 asciilifeform i cant fathom presently why that is even in there. but possibly this q dun have a logical answr
12:07 mircea_popescu the evil wreckers of the 90s were systematic in their dedication to destruction (called "democracy" and "humanism" whatevber bla bla in-universe)
12:09 asciilifeform even through ~this~ lens, seems peculiar. ( what does it achieve for'em, to litter www with бнопня вхрюк
12:09 mircea_popescu they perceive that opposition===conservative and their understanding of "conservative" is "would never break with tradition"
12:10 mircea_popescu a mistake powered by the fact that up until they came about tradition consisted of naggum's library. so of copurse thinking man wouldn't part with it.
12:10 asciilifeform for lack of any other hypothesis, i'ma buy
12:10 mircea_popescu the most disconcerting thing to pantsuit is the http://trilema.com/2014/how-to-deal-with-pseudoscience/ stance.
12:10 mircea_popescu "what do you mean, you will burn ALL the books ?!?!" "of course i will, keks."
12:11 mircea_popescu so in their view, the fact that the uniturds ~are already there~ binds us to forever keeping them.
12:11 asciilifeform i.e. 'dun matter that you took the sweat to write it in king's english, we're gonna throw hieroglyphs in' ?
12:12 asciilifeform makes sense
12:12 mircea_popescu just like in their view, the fact that they befouled science with their politico idiocy means something about science. they didn't, by their lights, made the profession of "earth scientist" nigh on impossible for the average man. they, on the contrary, are forcing my hand when it comes to such topics.

15:21 diana_coman " Were Trilema as small as you ever wish it to be, an ephemeride living its day of life in the shadow of the largest Egyptian pyramid, yet what would be the deepest difference between Trilema and that pyramid ? Not density, nor size, nor duration in time nor anything like that, but the one fundamental fact, that while the little insect lives, however shortly, however precariously, the pyramid does not, and never has." -> Caragiale ref spotted!

17:09 Mocky http://btcbase.org/log/2019-03-28#1905680 << same deal in NY state, very strict for autos, long list of items checked. any one fails then whole inspection fails.
17:09 a111 Logged on 2019-03-28 17:14 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform, they have this testing office here, they give you a stamp that the car is up to spect technically, good for 1 year. (good measure too, the tubs these people drove before it... jesus f. even now you see trucks dead in middle of onramp cuz unmaintained engine finally croaked etc)
17:12 Mocky a couple years ago they bumped the penalty for fake sticker up from violation to misdemeanor. and also added it to the auto-plate-scanning-database system in most cop cars so alarm goes off for cop every time a car with expired inspection in the morning database goes past.
17:14 Mocky for motorcycles tho, they check lights and tires only. NC is not strict like NY, more like how asciilifeform describes.
17:16 BingoBoingo I never had to get a car inspected in my corner of old country. All registered just outside the mandatory inspection zone.
17:19 Mocky im surprised eu beat the us to the auto-speed-nag punch actually
17:20 BingoBoingo Well, with Brexit looking more like something the EU is going to end up imposing on Britain than anything Britain is going to do... EU is getting bold.
