04:28 diana_coman asciilifeform: so basically the "can't have x" is more indicative of "didn't look for it irl seriously enough"?
~ 5 hours 20 minutes ~
09:48 asciilifeform diana_coman: lol how could this ever be ruled out.
09:50 asciilifeform hence the need for continuous dig, when not yet found whichever $atlantis.
~ 45 minutes ~
10:35 diana_coman asciilifeform: there's a difference between ruled out and default as it were
~ 30 minutes ~
11:05 asciilifeform diana_coman: not sure i grasp
11:20 diana_coman asciilifeform: it seems (perhaps wrongly) to me that the usual default re searching for all sorts is more often than it should the online; this experience (not by itself either) seems to me to drive home again the fact that exhaustive offline searches are more likely to yield the actual interesting stuff than even exhaustive online ones.
11:21 asciilifeform diana_coman: ah this, entirely troo. which is why asciilifeform periodically goes to various meatspace heathen pits.
11:23 asciilifeform in this case, a local physics lab ( erry year they give tour to gawkers , i enjoy posing sadistic questions to the academicoolies )
11:23 diana_coman bwahaha, that sounds fun though
11:25 diana_coman esp in organised "tours" and the like I think it's absolutely imperative to pose sadistic questions; after all, why else go there otherwise.
11:25 asciilifeform often fun, and sometimes -- profit.
11:25 diana_coman well, profit is just another type of fun, lol.
11:28 asciilifeform i dun have a platoon of social engineering helpinghands like mircea_popescu's , but the work still gotta be done. so -- erry so often asciilifeform goes, does it, with own hands.
11:29 * asciilifeform brb:tea
11:29 diana_coman enjoy!
