diana_coman: asciilifeform: so basically the "can't have x" is more indicative of "didn't look for it irl seriously enough"?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: lol how could this ever be ruled out.
asciilifeform: hence the need for continuous dig, when not yet found whichever $atlantis.
diana_coman: asciilifeform: there's a difference between ruled out and default as it were
asciilifeform: diana_coman: not sure i grasp
diana_coman: asciilifeform: it seems (perhaps wrongly) to me that the usual default re searching for all sorts is more often than it should the online; this experience (not by itself either) seems to me to drive home again the fact that exhaustive offline searches are more likely to yield the actual interesting stuff than even exhaustive online ones.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: ah this, entirely troo. which is why asciilifeform periodically goes to various meatspace heathen pits.
asciilifeform: in this case, a local physics lab ( erry year they give tour to gawkers , i enjoy posing sadistic questions to the academicoolies )
diana_coman: bwahaha, that sounds fun though
diana_coman: esp in organised "tours" and the like I think it's absolutely imperative to pose sadistic questions; after all, why else go there otherwise.
asciilifeform: often fun, and sometimes -- profit.
diana_coman: well, profit is just another type of fun, lol.
asciilifeform: i dun have a platoon of social engineering helpinghands like mircea_popescu's , but the work still gotta be done. so -- erry so often asciilifeform goes, does it, with own hands.
asciilifeform brb:tea
diana_coman: enjoy!
