shinohai: asciilifeform: Ah one sec bot is in my chans but didn't reconnect here because +r
shinohai will add delay before attempting chan reconnect to bot later ....
asciilifeform: shinohai: aa, i turned on +r earlier (after cleaning spamola from db -- hopefully no one misses it)
asciilifeform: wb btcinfobot !
asciilifeform: $ticker btc usd
btcinfobot: Current BTC price in USD: $58927.96
shinohai: Yeah I saw the 1337 spam earlier lol
verisimilitude: This year has been such a drag so far.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: how so?
verisimilitude: It has been for me, anyway.
verisimilitude: I repeatedly fall behind my self-imposed schedules. I understand being perpetually behind reveals the flaw as being with them and not me, but it still stings.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: think, could be worse, could be schedules imposed by overseers
verisimilitude: I've some work in-progress, and other finished, but it's not enough to sate me.
verisimilitude: Yes, it could always be worse.
verisimilitude: My main accomplishments with the year so far are resuming Latin studies, learning chording, and finally working towards realizing Elision.
verisimilitude: Time really flies; I'd taken my first Latin courses over five years ago.
verisimilitude: I didn't keep up with it, of course.
asciilifeform: verisimilitude: so far this yr asciilifeform spent almost all of his waking hours, working for dough
thimbronion: Anyone recall where I might find a write up of trinque et al.'s experience transporting irons to equatorial regions?
thimbronion: Not clear to me a box that will fit a 1u will be allowed on the plane.
asciilifeform: thimbronion: afaik of the old set, asciilifeform is the record-holder -- transported 4u at a time, and twice (in each direction) across equator
asciilifeform: (this is not even counting the 2015 crate to argentinistan...)
asciilifeform: thimbronion: precise algo will depend on what's going, and to/from where. but in west hemisphere, in general (1) copa airlines. however, determine beforehand what kg limit per trunk is, and where to pay, how much (2) at customs, 'it is for business, and will be coming back north'
asciilifeform: thimbronion: worx best if yer dressed as for 'biznis', not as e.g. beach tourist, hobo, etc
asciilifeform: '+5 vorpal' if you have a company logo (with pnoje #, where someone would answer) stuck to all of the goodies
asciilifeform: but to return upstack -- box that fits 1u (or even 2u) indeed can go on a plane. as luggage, in fact. the largest commonly-permitted trunk, i found, comfortably houses 2u of server plus sufficient blanketing to get'em intact to other side after the normal set of abuses on conveyors, customs, etc
asciilifeform: afaik no commonplace trunk will hold > 2u.
asciilifeform: typical server is opaque at the xray; if you draw short straw at customs, crate will be opened and you gotta have the speech ready to go w/out hesitation.
asciilifeform: thimbronion: lemme know if you have moar specific q's re subj; will try to answer.
asciilifeform: *twice -- once in each direction, err
thimbronion: asciilifeform: this helps. Was confused by the rule that stated "no boxes" - just put it in a "trunk" - which I take to mean a suitcase large enough to fit it.
