asciilifeform got a spiffy gift from a phriend, a mouse where various pieces of the chassis can move around to fit the hand, various iron knobs. endlessly tunable thing. had no idea this existed.
asciilifeform: 'rat 9'
mitch_callahan: I've got one of those
mitch_callahan: how do you like it?
asciilifeform: it is very neat. but, what to do with the extra buttonz !
mitch_callahan: on the left, I use the 2 as forward/back
mitch_callahan: i find it helps with carpal tunnel.
assbot: Amazon.com: HP Optical 3 Button Mouse,usb,accessory: Electronics ... ( http://bit.ly/1L2VyHP )
mircea_popescu: best be careful, lest at night it reassembles itself into a dulap.
asciilifeform: it already looks quite like one...
asciilifeform: (this is not clear from the photo, but the 'wings' are on long screws and... can move)
mitch_callahan: and you can add weights to it
phf: pretty sure that thing has a remote triggered cyanide injector. a "present" for ascii
asciilifeform: various nice touches. e.g. the wheel well goes all the way through, does not collect shit like normal mouse
mircea_popescu having homemade black forest with "alamos" chardonnay, supposedly "best seller in teh usa". it's not terribru.
asciilifeform: phf: the weights ought to be trotyl
mircea_popescu: pro tip : for the best cooler, pour mineral water in the icecream tray.
asciilifeform: phf: lulzy gadget: draws so much current that the battery has to be changed daily. it pulls out, like pistol clip, and changes places with identical, included stick, that charges in the radio receiver

mircea_popescu: also, god fucking help the heretics with their white shit on the black forest cake. it's devil's food in ganache, not fucking light cream ffs.
mircea_popescu: (meanwhile, substituting sour cherries + kirsch for banana slices + rum ; or caramelized pineapple and good cognac is legitimate.)
phf: kids these days with their fancy mice. back in my day we had to clean mouse balls before each quake 1 match with wet wipes
asciilifeform: l0l i still have one of those somewhere.
asciilifeform: even got a sun photodiode mouse (but misplaced the reflector!)
mitch_callahan: i remember my step mom would take that ball out as punishment. sucked.
phf: i refused to use optical mouse for a long time, because my railgun technique involved upwards swipe, that would periodically glitch out with an optical mouse and would rotate completely randomly. good times.
mircea_popescu: old optical mice were pretty shitty.
mircea_popescu: then again, old ball mice... i had a straight lines and right angles genius. because molding plastic was hard in the 80s
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 53550 @ 0.0005036 = 26.9678 BTC [+]
mircea_popescu: yeah but 3 buttons
mircea_popescu: same exact button type tho, with that angle.
hanbot: mircea_popescu how many lightbulbs can you turn on at a time with that?
mircea_popescu: no because lightbulbs came after that
mircea_popescu: anyway, they had a very heavy steel ball with a thin silicone covering.
hanbot: “Online virtual currencies are clearly here to stay – no pun intended”, according to Mitch Callahan, Clearly Canadian’s Bitcoin Campaign Manager. << is that you btw, mitch_callahan?
hanbot: !up mitch_callahan
mitch_callahan: haha yep, that would be me
mitch_callahan: lots of derping, doing "merchant" stuff
mitch_callahan: pete_dushenski smacked some sense into me
hanbot: oh hey, cool.
mitch_callahan: i think those guys finally reached their goal a year later. i should have some clearly canadian to give away in the near future. i cant remember what it cost me in btc, though.
assbot: Cryptsy seeking legal action against Mike Johnson | To The Moon ... ( http://bit.ly/1NrW2Lk )
mircea_popescu: is clearly canadian some sort of alcohol ?
mitch_callahan: its an old fruit flavoured beverage that was popular in the 80's and 90's
hanbot: iirc it's an alt-cola
mitch_callahan: a guy in the US bought the trademark and brought it back
mircea_popescu: ah ah i recall now yea
mircea_popescu: ironically the guy actually tried to get it on mpex, but this was back in the single digit times.\
mitch_callahan: ha, what!
mitch_callahan: he met a lot of people very quickly. iirc he had erik voorhees on the line, amongst others. bitpay was pushing it, too.
mitch_callahan: it jump started me in the space, mostly meeting people, seeing who's who. started a meetup, etc etc.
mircea_popescu: it would have been a horrible idea (as i pointed out at the time). a purely fiat business like selling fizz fits very poorly on bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: next thing you know it runs up 10k% (as it did) and you're left paying pennies to the dollar to your investors, IN SPITE of having done a great job.
mitch_callahan: it was those price movements that got them all paranoid, too and they stopped mentioning btc.
mitch_callahan: man im surprised through his research he ended up chatting with you
mitch_callahan: good on him
mitch_callahan: in the early days, if one looked up bitcoin, one would find mpex shortly thereafter
mitch_callahan: I discovered mpex about 2 minutes after i discovered bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: not that different today really.
mitch_callahan: piles of shit on top
mircea_popescu: well depends on what is meant by research, of course
mircea_popescu: so i guess.
mitch_callahan: true story
mitch_callahan: this is relatable to the google talk earlier
mitch_callahan: one day mircea_popescu, you crossed my mind. i visualized a bunch of shapes collapsing in on themselves. it was the universe eating itself.
mitch_callahan: i read the logs a few weeks later and it's what cazalla describes as the bitcoin hole I'm guessing
mitch_callahan: anyhow, I need to rest. night everyone.

BingoBoingo: Law Enforcement generally seems derpy.

jurov: davout i guess because it can either hardly fit whole block into addressable memory and/or do ecdsa fast enough

pete_dushenski: a cute worm. a giant worm. but a worm.

pete_dushenski: bingoboingo and even a pig ear is still an artificial nipple. not artificial in the sense of it being plastic, but in the sense of it being attached to a real woman's tit. so there's that.

pete_dushenski: you'd basically have to be mentally retarded to take your vw/merc/mazda/anygoddamdiesel in to the dealership for any of the upcoming recalls. they WILL neuter your car and cost you money.
pete_dushenski: and there's really no guarantee that the dealership wouldn't surreptitiously "fix" your ride even if you went in for something as innocuous as an oil change.
pete_dushenski: basically, visiting a dealership for maintenance has become a legal and fiscal liability.
pete_dushenski: not sure how this will play out for cars under warranty, but for cars off-warranty, the decision to use an independent shop has never been more clear cut

pete_dushenski: a bit. shoot.

cazalla: so i had a car accident like 6 weeks ago, young chick merges into my lane, does a bunch of superficial damage, lodge claim and gotta take it to panelbeaters on monday for a quote.. but given the car is 20 years old, i'd rather a cash settlement than the car having the damage fixed.. insurance company is open to the idea once i've got the quote done which i would gauge around $1,500 given the chick damaged 3 sections
cazalla: i was gonna ask for a ball park figure of 2/3 of the quote, what do you think?

pete_dushenski: so yea, give'r and report back

mitch_callahan: to be voiced once again
mitch_callahan: man when my key expired I was trippin balls. losing ones voice isn't fun!
mitch_callahan: cazalla, the same thing happened to me once.. with the car. though the cost to fix it was way higher than the car's value, so it would have been written off.
pete_dushenski: mitch_callahan what do you mean 'would have been' ?
mitch_callahan: actually good question, I never got that far.
mitch_callahan: in my scenario, the guy didnt wanna go through insurance, so he didnt hesitate with a cash settlement
mitch_callahan: would have been = insurance wouldnt have fixed the car, rather give me some cash, i think.
cazalla: mitch_callahan, well this is actually through the insurance company but i assume they'll just pass the info on to the driver and she'll cough up the cash settlement if they agree.. maybe insurance company does it, nfi
mitch_callahan: how bad is the visual damage ?
cazalla: but my run about is worth maybe 2500 AUD, it is mechanically fine, just looks shit
cazalla: she scratched the fuck out of the rear passenger, back of the bumper bar and above the bumper bar near petrol tank hole
mitch_callahan: anything fall off ?
cazalla: nope, was peak hour traffic so only going like 40 km/ph, nfi why she even merged, sorta lucky i didn't see her or i might've reacted by swerving

cazalla: baked as in in the oven for snack food, not canned tomato baked beans
pete_dushenski: sounds tasty
cazalla: kid isn't too fancied on them either, spat them out.. that and mangoes (nfi on that one)
