asciilifeform: lol, 'arse-mouth system'
awt[asciilifeform]: jonsykkel: can you confirm that your station is still reflecting address cast messages?
awt[asciilifeform]: Not seeing them anymore, hopefully because of dedup
jonsykkel[asciilifeform]: awt: still refelcting yes
jonsykkel[asciilifeform]: single player human centipede
asciilifeform: phf: re knuth #4 -- recall how he gives 'difficulty' for puzzles, '0 -- trivial' to '50 -- unsolved'; there's lulzily 1 in 4a which reduces to riemann hypothesis, marked.. '45'
awt[asciilifeform]: Currently 108 degrees here in Sac. They're threatening to cut the power if everyone doesn't set their thermostat to 80.
billymg[asciilifeform]: awt: i thought the "please don't charge your electric vehicles" about 2-3 days after "ICE cars will be banned by 2035" was priceless
awt[asciilifeform]: Yeah that was funny
awt[asciilifeform]: Seems like ICE will be around for a while in central/south america.
awt[asciilifeform]: Is there a term that covers both central and south america? Maybe latam?
awt[asciilifeform]: No way to exclude Mehico
awt[asciilifeform]: "south of 15"
billymg[asciilifeform]: awt: latin america is what i use for that at least
billymg[asciilifeform]: and yeah, way too many people here driving cars from the 80s still
awt[asciilifeform]: Hoping to be able to bring my subaru down but it sounds like maybe inmigracion is still charging massive tariffs even though they passed the new law
billymg[asciilifeform]: awt: the digital nomad visa?
awt[asciilifeform]: applies to other visas too
billymg[asciilifeform]: didn't know that it applied to other visas
billymg[asciilifeform]: awt: if the used car market is still hot i'd just sell it and buy a diesel toyota when you get here
awt[asciilifeform]: Sadly my outback is not worth much. Diesel would be great though.
jonsykkel[asciilifeform]: wat model year outbakc?
awt[asciilifeform]: 2015 "premium". Worth < 10k, apparently
jonsykkel[asciilifeform]: ah new one
billymg[asciilifeform]: re: diesel, was checking these guys out recently: https://www.springboardbiodiesel.com/
awt[asciilifeform]: cool. phone number is a local area code.
billymg[asciilifeform]: based on the pricing for the base model looks like it could be imported to cr for around 20-25k total. then you just gotta get in good with the restaurants dumping their fry oil
awt[asciilifeform]: Would feel bad profiting off of people consuming seed oils
billymg[asciilifeform] partakes in the occasional french fry or chicken wing
billymg[asciilifeform]: http://logs.bitdash.io/asciilifeform/2022-09-05#1113519 "hey china, could you lend us some money, we need ships to protect tai... er, ukraine... right, planes to protect ukraine"
bitbot[asciilifeform]: (asciilifeform) 2022-09-05 mats: they could always borrow money from china for more vessels
billymg[asciilifeform] assumes that was the joke mats was making anyway, but since he's not here yet, had to quote him
bitbot[asciilifeform]: Logged on 2022-08-28 17:30:50 signpost: hey mats, get a pest station already.
asciilifeform: lol erry single ballpoint pen, on erry single 1 of the us ships playing ceremonial games around tw, is made guess where.
asciilifeform: likely the doorknobs, too.
asciilifeform: from this, very small step to the ships themselves
