signpost: ah yep, believe I've seen those used for fallback credit card processing at restaurants.
signpost: old pnoje was faster, had 5g. this guy's lte only, and I don't get a good lte signal in my house on tmobile.
signpost: I've still got the gig cable connection for stationary, using this for my new mobile setup.
signpost: seems like it'll be entirely adequate, will probably get a 5g usb card for the laptop when not.
signpost: has two SIM slots to boot, which is kinda nice.
signpost: also lol, is "mudila" "asshole" in RU?
signpost afk til morn
mangol: http://logs.bitdash.io/asciilifeform/2022-04-11#1095218 << many of the feelings expressed today are likely physically impossible to have. leftists get status points for exaggerating their feelings so they do that a lot.
bitbot: Logged on 2022-04-11 23:27:14 signpost: "I'm sad guys, and I don't even know how to handle the emotion."
mangol: my theory is that "I don't even know how to handle the emotion" style status-points hunting may have lead to some % of the present explosion in trans cases
mangol: people lose track of the difference between which of their feelings are genuine and which are mocked up for display
mangol: feeling like a girl is high status, and provides convenient escape from trials and tribulations of manhood -> suddenly every feeling of weakness becomes a "girly" feeling
mangol: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2021-09-29#1060165 << asciilifeform: can you recommend some essential posts by rosov, and a good ru->en machine translator?
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-09-29 20:14:01 asciilifeform: ftr asciilifeform is partial to alex rosov's cosmography, which offers a hypothesis explaining the demise not only of bell labs but of parc etc.
shinohai: Hey if leftys want to saw off their tweeters and pretend to be women, have at it! This is simply evolution @ work and eventually removes such from the gene pool.
shinohai: $vwap
busybot: The 24-Hour VWAP for BTC is $ 40220.75 USD
asciilifeform: mangol: unfortunately afaik there aint a good mechatranslator for ru->en
asciilifeform: ( can try google's but it reliably emits hilarious lulz )
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/asciilifeform/2022-04-12#1095379 << there's a lengthy epidemiological history there
dulapbot: Logged on 2022-04-12 10:25:09 mangol: my theory is that "I don't even know how to handle the emotion" style status-points hunting may have lead to some % of the present explosion in trans cases
dulapbot: Logged on 2021-05-02 15:04:06 asciilifeform: trinque: imho moar interesting. the skoptzy (folx in question; old slavic term for autocastrators) were following an internally consistent, if undocumented, logic
asciilifeform: ( one engl. summary of subj)
mangol: "Later, the sectarians started interpreting even innocent excerpts from the Bible in their favor: for example, that Christ, after having washed his apostles' feet, also castrated them."
mangol: asciilifeform: if i machine-translate some of rosov's posts and edit toward fluent english as much as i can, would you be willing to polish the translations?
asciilifeform: mangol: possibly. tho quite pressed for time currently
mangol: no rush
mangol: how many posts would you say are essential?
asciilifeform: mangol: fella was rather prolix, rather than '1 post per subj' unfortunately
mangol: one of those writers who are constantly going off on a tangent?
asciilifeform: mangol: not so much, simply fond of n-part series
asciilifeform: !w poll
