copumpkin lol [03:50]
copumpkin Framedragger: what you're saying is that he paid you money to lube his butt [03:50]
copumpkin right? [03:50]
Mqrius Sounds about right xD [03:51]
Framedragger yes, quite probably. and when he logged out immediately after sending his last message, I thought "well; some teenager just started a scamming career by buying butt lube products, awesome" [03:52]
pigeons where did you buy the lube? [03:53]
Framedragger whatever, not harmful things => spreading bitcoin usage = good :P [03:53]
Framedragger that same website, bad-dragon.com (quite hilarious) [03:54]

Framedragger on that note, I've always been curious, how good SR's own tumbling system is, whether anyone did any research on that.. /semitaboo sorry [04:27]
Framedragger because I know some people use that as one of the tumblers in the tumbling chain. [04:27]

pigeons unless he's trying to hide that he's gambling [04:29]
Framedragger yes, that's correct AFAIK. but the question is, how much intermediacy (?) happens in-between. they do have blind transcations etc., I guess. [04:29]
rg haha [04:29]
rg but gambling for bitcoins isnt illegal [04:29]

Mqrius (actually I'm reading the German version, supplied by my girlfriend. Reading in German is slow though) [04:33]

Mqrius pigeons: I'm not a theist [04:36]
Mqrius that helps. [04:36]
Mqrius I am atheist though. [04:36]
Mqrius Which sounds the same when you speak it out loud [04:36]
vragnaroda No, it doesn't. [04:37]
vragnaroda They sound similar but not the same. [04:37]
Mqrius Well, maybe not. [04:37]
Mqrius But I'll just go to sleep before anyone notices [04:37]
Mqrius night night [04:37]
pigeons well, when i was questioning my theism i picked up dawkins again, wanting to challenge myself, expecting to read the whole thing and think about it, but i decided it was rediculous to be a thiest after the first paragraph that time [04:37]
pigeons it was really starting to think more logically about everything else that made me decide to stop being so superstitious about gods [04:38]

* gigavpsAFK is now known as gigavps [04:40]
pigeons i don't know how to explain or expect you to believe me, because the letters aren't near each other on the keyboard, but they are more typographical errors, I don't make many spelling errors with a pencil or pen [04:41]
Framedragger have read only very little of Dawkins (save for his lectures, and that's not the same at all), but he seems to concentrate on some of religion's _effects_ => straw man fallacies all around. I imagine it wouldn't have shaken my views if I had had them.. [04:41]
benjamindees really Germans can't be expected to keep chickens... exposure to the micro RNA would turn them into girlie-men like the French... [04:42]
vragnaroda Well, they're fairly close on my keyboard. [04:42]
pigeons Also when you try to figure out why they think these crazy things, a lot of theists start to become more "pantheists" or whatever you call the belief that god is "the universe" which is harder to argue with. [04:43]

jothan what the hell, someone paid over 36 bitcoins as a transaction fee http://blockexplorer.com/tx/7de2f70b4393c80002fa419e1e8f26bfd7d25a7a1bddd26881782004aac9ba4d [04:53]

jothan it was not even a huge transaction kilobyte-wise [04:54]
rawrmage vragnaroda: i think part of its ugliness is necessary for its syntactic unambiguity + machine parseability [04:55]
weex probably got their fields switched [04:55]
mircea_popescu weird. [04:55]
vragnaroda jothan: Probably laundering money. [04:55]
vragnaroda rawrmage: It could be a lot prettier if it weren't so phonemically limited. [04:55]

Framedragger "[... [05:02]
Framedragger ] Lolspeak does not meet the requisite conditions of a pidgin [05:02]
Framedragger language, which develops as a result of particular kinds of language contact. Forming a pidgin [05:02]
Framedragger requires having one or more superstrate languages (lexifiers) and a substrate (grammatical) [05:02]
Framedragger language. Since all of the vocabulary comes from English, this means Lolspeak‟s nonstandard [05:02]
Framedragger feature must come from a substrate of cat language. The problem here lies with the fact that [05:02]
Framedragger though humans do engage in communication with cats, there is no linguistically persuasive 20 [05:02]
Framedragger evidence that cats have a language, though many cat owners have speculated about it" [05:02]

vragnaroda Framedragger: Don't ever paste anything close to that long again in this channel. [05:05]
pigeons but 1 btc wasn't even worth half a US cent at the time [05:06]
Framedragger you should see what happens on SILC channels with embedded images enabled.. but, yeah. [05:06]
jothan right, a guy paid another guy like 10000 BTC for a pizza in the early days [05:06]

vebb lol [05:13]

pigeons btc-e.com takes ukash or at least they used to, which can be funded with cc [05:14]

pigeons can you trade facebook credits p2p? i don't want them, just curious [05:20]
vebb not credits. i made a website for the page [05:20]

vragnaroda pigeons: Also, sourcing a claim from the daily fail is kickable [05:20]
pigeons heh, makes sense v [05:20]
vebb pigeons: btc-e.com is reputable? [05:23]
weex if you have a couple weeks, paxum works [05:23]
weex be sure to fill out all your paperwork correctly [05:23]
weex no amex [05:23]
pigeons vebb: i use them daily. that doesn't make them reputable, lots of people have reservations about them [05:23]
pigeons but the bigger risk would be leaving money with them [05:24]
vebb ok [05:24]
vebb thanks [05:24]
pigeons cool weex, I was considering verifying my paxum [05:25]

jjjrmy weex: what do you need? [05:29]
nanotube weex: here's one. #bitcoin-dev and #bitcoin could be another. there was also some site with 'jobs for bitcoin' but i'm not sure how much traffic that gets. forums also. [05:29]
pigeons there are sites like forbitcoin.com, but I would try the forums, or maybe just mention it on one of the regular freelancer sites, put an order on the book here too [05:30]
weex jjjrmy: i'm looking for the answer to the question, not someone to work for me atm [05:30]
jjjrmy weex: ah, lol [05:30]
pigeons well the answer depends on what kind of work ;) [05:30]
weex but then again, i guess i could just point people to jjjrmy [05:30]
weex need something done, jjjrmy's got your back [05:30]

  1. Long lines aren't fully visible though or is it just my display here (zooming in/out didn't help either)?

    Not even sure why is it a table and not paragraphs since it's meant for reading here.

  2. @Diana Coman

    The thing with paragraph tags is you get that extra spacing between lines (for example). Possibly desirable or not.

    As for the long lines being cut, both I and whaack have noticed lines being cut within a blockquote tag in the article http://trilema.com/2019/proper-html-linking-the-crisis-the-solution-the-resolution-conclusion/. Small css tweak needed probably.

    This is just me trying to figure out / iron out the last kinks. It's pretty much all the way there and ready to import, except for cosmetic problems like exactly the misdisplayed table etc.

    Ima figure it out tomorrow I guess.

    Turns out the problem's readily fixed by adding an style="font-size:1em;" specification in the table heading. For some reason different parts of the html rendering engine ended up thinking the typeface is different dimensions, fixing it explicitly resolves the divergence.

  5. It is fixed indeed ie the whole line is visible now. I admit I still find it very hard to read though, possibly because everything is mid-aligned in each cell so the name of the speaker ends up in between the lines of text.

    Turns out that's easily fixed. How about now ?

  7. Certainly much better - I can follow the lines at least. I can't say I like the table format a lot but at least it's readable now.

    Is there any plan to add the reference links on lines too? I'm not sure how would that work in this format when the same line/part is referenced multiple times, hm.

    Actually trivial enough to do, really.

  9. fwiw, I'm still seeing some oddities in the display with certain browsers. I did some testing and loaded this specific article on different ones; here's what I got:

    Entire timestamp and part of the main text is cut off in Chromium v43 (on my Debian laptop), Chrome v78 (on my windows turd box), and on 'DuckDuckGo browser' (a dumbphone browser).

    The last digit of the timestamp is cut off in 'Iceweasel' v31 (a Mozilla browser on my Debian laptop).

    Looks fine in both links and lynx.
