    mod6: mircea_popescu: That seems at least like a decent place to start; some sort of greeting and gathering of contact information.
    
    mod6: If the idea is for nicoleci to go further and answer questions from persons herself, yeah, we probably aught to have a list of pre-canned responses.
    
    mod6 bbiab
    
    mircea_popescu: will be happy to halp.
    
    mircea_popescu: meanwhile in lulz, "A Banksy was left in shreds before an shocked audience moments after it was auctioned off at Sothebys in London for a record $1.4 million. The British artist, whose identity is still unknown, timed his painting, Girl With Balloon, to self-destruct via a shredder hidden in the artworks frame."
    
    BingoBoingo: But what bigger Lulz is he distracting from? Trump got his judge, Bolnasaro is going to the beach tomorrow before beginning his run off campaign, and is Mosul still there or is it another six weeks?
    
    mod6: !!ledger
    
    
    
    mircea_popescu: six tweaks.
    
    BingoBoingo: sink twinks?
    
    mod6: mircea_popescu: Cool, thanks.  Was thinking that maybe nicoleci would start with a simple small set of pre-canned responses, and also collect contact information.  And during the call, any questions not covered by set of canned responses, can be written down and handed back to the forum or Co-chairs for answsering.
    
    mod6: Probably via email if that seems alright.
    
    mod6: In a timely fashion of course, figure what, 48 hours?  72?
    
    mod6: Also, unrelated to that... S.MG's UY3 invoice is still open (for september).  Just a heads up - obviously no big worry or anything.  Just saw that the S.MG statement is out there, didn't want ya to overlook that.
    
    mod6: BingoBoingo: Please to bid 76M for hanbot's auction -- between this one and trinque's, we're already half-way there to next month.  Not bad!

    BingoBoingo: ty, will also keep my eyes open for other new auctions that pop up
    
    mod6: Any left over, can be simply retained by you, and accounted for next cycle, or you can send me back the remainder, if that's how you'd like to handle it.
    
    mircea_popescu: alright.

    mod6: Beyond this, a list of answers to some obvious first questions can be added.  Other questions not covered can be written down and sent to us for answering, emailing resposnes.
    
    mircea_popescu: just in case anyone else's making audio cd's for the car, for i in *.mp3; do ffmpeg -i "$i" -f wav "${i%}.wav"; done

    BingoBoingo: At this point whether someone looks like they can throw arespectable punch is a pretty good heruistic for sorting white trump voters from terminal pantsuits cucks
    
    mircea_popescu: i believe.
    
    mircea_popescu: the very feminine attitude, too, "here's my cunt, come find me". what the fuck ?! nobody's going anywhere looking for dorky boys.

    phf: ty
    
    phf: it was left behind on the x60, and picking up x60 again reminds me just how nice of machine it is
    
    asciilifeform: phf: it is, innit.
    
    asciilifeform: all but for the lcd
    
    asciilifeform: ( i fucking hate the lcd on that thing )
    
    asciilifeform: and the battery ( i've bought 4 types of replacement, incl. supposedly 'original', none lasted > 6 mo. )
    
    asciilifeform: and none good for >3h when new
    
    phf: right, i basically treat the battery as a ups, i.e. hold it long enough for me to move it from place to place
    
    asciilifeform: i had to actually use it as a battery-powered box on pizarro voyage, and it sucked
    
    asciilifeform: ( mass budget allowed for 2 batteries, and i ended up tossing one right there in BingoBoingostan )
    
    BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I might have seen it at the feria recently on a table that also had a Macbook Air...
    
    phf: i've traveled with it before, but yeah, i'd turn it off, plug it in somewhere, turn it on. c101pa on the other hand has an insane battery life: i've been running it in pure console mode, and it will last a day or two
    
    asciilifeform: phf: http://www.loper-os.org/pub/x60_piz_roof.jpg << subj. no mains socket on that roof.
    
    asciilifeform: phf: c101pa would last ~week if power management thing worked...
    
    asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'crapple air' suxx ballz, i wrote mine off long ago
    
    asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: on top of crappleism -- actually ~slower~ than x60, and smaller battery, and shit kbd
    
    BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Likely how it made it to the feria. Feria is powered by dumpster finds and sticky fingers
    
    asciilifeform: and for its cost you can buy 4 or 5 x60
    
    asciilifeform: phf: i drained the battery in ~2h on airplane (putting finishing touches on rk gentoo), then again in the rack (1st usa->orc mains plug brick fell apart) then again on roof...
    
    phf: what's kind of silly and i think mp made that point a while ago, that none of the manufacturers of that vintage attempted to do a swapable battery. a dual battery slot, or a smaller internal battery that would keep the thing powered for ~60 seconds it takes to switch the battery
    
    asciilifeform: phf: thought about soldering a supercap in there
    
    asciilifeform: but not much room
    
    asciilifeform: phf: i have a massive lenovo tank lappy that takes 2 batts. but it was out of the question on acct of mass
    
    phf: gut the x60 chassis, put rk in there, though you're still stuck with the screen
    
    asciilifeform: ( lenovo w540, if anybody cares )
    
    asciilifeform: phf: screen is the big sad
    
    asciilifeform: phf: at one time there were rumours of a ips panel that could be stuffed into x60 and had compatible connector/timings , but afaik it's just that, rumour, i was never able to get close to one
    
    phf: i'm weird in that respect, i don't mind seeing pixels, reminds me of better times as far as computing. i make it extra ugly too, e.g. i run windowmaker, aliased fonts, the works
    
    asciilifeform: mine's on ratpoison, and has iirc 9pix fixed width font.
    
    phf: i forgot do you wear glasses?
    
    asciilifeform: oh yes
    
    asciilifeform: and i suspect the x60 is at least partly answerable for their getting thicker
    
    phf: i have this terminal at 16px :>
    
    phf: i could read 9pix, but fuck that
    
    asciilifeform: if i cant fit 80col , machine aint usable, per my lights
    
    asciilifeform would happily pay a coin or 2 for a sane lappy -- <1kg, readable panel, day of battery . but it dun exist.
    
    asciilifeform: even if i finally crack the puzzler of c101pa boot and encuntooation -- thing's palpably small.
    
    asciilifeform: for gurl it'd be ok lappy. but not for folx with full size hands, i suspect
    
    asciilifeform: x60 was just about ideal, if on minimal size, for kbd size.
    
    phf: eink screen, 4:3 aspect ratio, old thinkpad keyboard, 1 week battery life :p
    
    BingoBoingo has been surviving on an X120e since before we started calling this thing TMSR
    
    phf: serial port, obviously ethernet, etc.
    
    asciilifeform: phf: incidentally i found that sharp inc makes b&w lcd's that run on 0power when holding picture, and beautiful 100% reflector-powered picture. but their biggest is iirc 4 in. and 336 × 536 .
    
    BingoBoingo: The hands adjust
    
    asciilifeform: LS032B7DD02 .
    
    asciilifeform: i ordered a sample recently , just for the hell of it.
    
    asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i've got pretty big hands, had to learn '8 fingers' typing on ye olde toshiba libretto back when had it
    
    BingoBoingo: Aha, 8 fingers is part of the trick
    
    asciilifeform: it sucks.
    
    BingoBoingo: I dunno, I think my hands have the stockholm syndrome pretty good on this issue
    
    asciilifeform: i can easily see why mircea_popescu doesn't do lappies, and i wouldn't either if i didn't regularly get meself into adventures that require'em
    
    asciilifeform: esp. pizarro voyages, these will always call for lightest available lappy, erry gram costs.
    
    asciilifeform bbl,meat
    
    mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-10-07#1859325 << uterly indefensible choice, "we make lappy with ONE battery". all lappies of all time should have had two. so what if smaller two ? hotswappable!

    BingoBoingo: In other local new, Make Brasil Great Again appears to have nearly outright won the presidency. Still waiting on official results, but instead of the 27-30% take he was supposedly polling now it is looking like a 45-50% take
    
    BingoBoingo: But naturally all of the pantsuit flavored publications are painting this as "Candidate Underwhelms By Failing To Avoid Runoff" instead of embarrassing overperformance versus their polls
    
    mircea_popescu: o noes, pantsuit wank off by 20% as per usual ?!
