| BingoBoingo: | <mp_en_viaje> an' holy shit i slept till noon. the slaves dun fled the coop, i'm left with plushy toys an' whips behind. WUT DO!!! << Probably the move is give the plushes the whips and arrange them into a party. | [14:33] |
| * asciilifeform | synced , by hand, log | [14:48] |
| * asciilifeform | aboutta reset bot, to eat new config, expect 45s of dead time | [14:49] |
| asciilifeform: | there we go. | [14:50] |
| asciilifeform: | the botlog barf, for enlightenment of others. | [14:53] |
| * asciilifeform | abolishing the use of the dnsistic rotator in his bot. recommends to others to do same, and actually use the bot's rotator w/ known-good fleanode noads (granted there aint many) | [14:55] |
| asciilifeform: | currently set it to the 1 where lived for 40+ days. would say which, but would rather not have erryone hang from same 1 | [14:56] |
| * asciilifeform | brb:teatime | [14:58] |
| diana_coman: | wouldn't it be great if we had already own irc node, huh | [15:41] |
| asciilifeform: | net. | [15:54] |
| asciilifeform: | (just 1 noad aint gonna do anyffin useful in re seaworthiness, need at least 2) | [15:55] |
| diana_coman: | that's like saying neah, still better swimming the ocean naked than having a boat, what's a boat gonna do, need at least 2!!1 | [16:00] |
| asciilifeform: | diana_coman: irc net w/ 1 noad is moar like half a boat imho. | [16:00] |
| asciilifeform: | for same reason as when there was only 1 logger. | [16:00] |
| asciilifeform: | but tbf i dun see why making 2nd,3rd, irc noad, would be any harder than when we did 2nd, 3rd... logger. | [16:01] |
| diana_coman: | ok, /me promises to let asciilifeform enjoy the salty water and not invite him to half-a-boat makes some sense since admiral of half a boat is a bit silly, true. | [16:01] |
| diana_coman: | aha, precisely but dunno why you got at first stuck on the number, lol. | [16:02] |
| asciilifeform: | diana_coman: well i did invite folx to my half boat (august logger) so let's similarly. | [16:02] |
| * asciilifeform | admits that when thinks 'half boat', thinks of herodotus's 'scaphism' punishment | [16:02] |
| diana_coman: | asciilifeform: all right! | [16:03] |
| asciilifeform: | diana_coman: wasn't intended as an objection to the idea. simply that in asciilifeform's head, the main open q re irc noades is , how well does the 'net split' sync mechanism in existing servers, worx | [16:04] |
| asciilifeform: | (to experiment with this, need at least pair.) | [16:05] |
| diana_coman: | we shall find out when we have nodes still starts with...1 node. | [16:05] |
| asciilifeform: | diana_coman: anyone has the 1 yet ? or still in the worx | [16:06] |
| diana_coman: | lolz not yet. | [16:06] |
| asciilifeform: | aite | [16:06] |
| asciilifeform: | grr diana_coman my comment was eaten | [16:11] |
| asciilifeform: | ( i think because stray > ) | [16:11] |
| asciilifeform: | diana_coman: plox to nuke, i'ma repost | [16:12] |
| * asciilifeform | still thinks it aint right that can't use e.g. '<<' in a wp comment . | [16:12] |
| diana_coman: | asciilifeform: nuked as requested and answrt. | [16:38] |
| BingoBoingo: | Of mebbe historical interest to show the damaging effects of socialism https://i.redd.it/hdhrl6bfgyp31.jpg << Fireman's plaza 1934. Top left in the background is Palacio Salvo. To the right, Cerro and its fortification. | [16:46] |
| asciilifeform: | ty diana_coman | [17:05] |
| mp_en_viaje: | so.many.pictures. | [17:20] |
| asciilifeform: | mp_en_viaje: re that 12mn schloss -- is that supposed to be a 'bargain' price ? i have nfi what these usually cost | [17:30] |
| mp_en_viaje: | i expect about fair, slightly overdone | [17:30] |
| asciilifeform: | ( and, is it the kind mp_en_viaje described in old thread, where you gotta drill 3 metres of stone to put in toilet ? or already plumbed ) | [17:31] |
| mp_en_viaje: | https://www.sothebysrealty.com/eng/sales/detail/180-l-83027-ghgew9/fairytale-castle-tradition-meets-modernity-other-lower-austria-la-4101 << specific item | [17:33] |
| mp_en_viaje: | 43 Bedrooms 45 Full Bathrooms 5.8349 Acre(s) | [17:33] |
| asciilifeform: | nifty. | [17:33] |
| mp_en_viaje: | very likely will sell it in bitcoin if anyone cares enough to lean on thwem | [17:34] |
| mp_en_viaje: | now if you do the math, it comes to about same per bedroom-bathroom as the uruguay horrorshow | [17:35] |
| asciilifeform: | mp_en_viaje: what's austria like in re ameritardation ? ( iirc not yet in nato but in practice, does it resist the usual idjicy ? ) | [17:37] |
| mp_en_viaje: | nope | [17:37] |
| mp_en_viaje: | i mean... there's pic of me smoking indoors. is that enoguh answer ? | [17:38] |
| asciilifeform: | 2km from asciilifeform's chair there's an indoor smokery. so that dun 100% answer. but otoh there's gotta be a reason why mp_en_viaje not already bought coupla austrian schlossen | [17:39] |
| mp_en_viaje: | da fuck do i want them for ? | [17:39] |
| mp_en_viaje: | they're not particular good deals, they're simply fair "waterlevel" so to speak. useful as a comparison point if one's confused. | [17:40] |
| asciilifeform: | nfi. but apparently did bother to window shop, neh | [17:40] |
| asciilifeform: | a. | [17:40] |
| mp_en_viaje: | was just continuing the uy real estate discussion | [17:40] |
| feedbot: | http://qntra.net/2019/10/trend-platforms-losing-free-labor-amid-political-pronoun-wars/ << Qntra -- Trend: "Platforms" Losing Free Labor Amid Political Pronoun Wars | [17:40] |
| mp_en_viaje: | happen to pass by, wasnt seeking it out | [17:40] |
| asciilifeform: | mp_en_viaje: iirc there were places with even cheaper schloss than ro, austria, etc. e.g. india. (but w/ the obv. problems) | [17:41] |
| BingoBoingo: | I suspect something like the schloss takes ~1 girl/year a week to clean (give or take factor of 2 maybe 3 margin of error). | [17:42] |
| mp_en_viaje: | nfi how you reason. | [17:42] |
| mp_en_viaje: | if india has schloss then washington has engineering experts, whynot. | [17:42] |
| mp_en_viaje: | BingoBoingo, well, 45 bathrooms. | [17:43] |
| asciilifeform: | mp_en_viaje: well if a schloss aint a schloss unless built by at least a kurfurst -- then of course 0 in india. or cr. | [17:43] |
| mp_en_viaje: | right. | [17:45] |
| mp_en_viaje: | a) built at least by a kurfurst and b) within miles of A-1. | [17:45] |
| mp_en_viaje: | i ain't talking about bullshit rural nonsense, i want to get there at 120mph | [17:45] |
| mp_en_viaje: | if not possible, then a) not schloss and b) 50% discount indisputably | [17:46] |
| * asciilifeform | pictures mp_en_viaje sizing up a flakturm for eurobase | [17:46] |
| asciilifeform: | they've convenient flat tops, too, could prolly get to it at 300mph in chopper.. | [17:47] |
| asciilifeform: | returning to BingoBoingo's q tho, just how many hands does it take to fully crew a 40room thing ? | [17:49] |
| mp_en_viaje: | afaik only a dozen or so of those were ever built | [17:50] |
| mp_en_viaje: | asciilifeform, from experience, an item like depicted would take about a baker's dozen to dozen-an-half slavegirls dedicated to the premises. | [17:50] |
| * asciilifeform | would expect it'd need at least dozen pairs of hands to keep from looking like tutankhamon's dusty tomb. but not expert | [17:50] |
| asciilifeform: | a. | [17:51] |
| mp_en_viaje: | if you're entertaining though, you'll need cooks, scullery maids, fluffers, cocksuckers, bedwarmers an' everything else. | [17:51] |
| asciilifeform: | aha. i was thinking of even skeleton crew. | [17:51] |
| mp_en_viaje: | which is part of the problem -- such an item is a terrible design for a working lordly manor, because very ineptly tiered to an overtly equalitarian flatworld. | [17:52] |
| asciilifeform: | prolly needs dozen+ just to maintain as a passable museum | [17:52] |
| mp_en_viaje: | you'd want dungeons, you'd want communal quarters for the plebs, you'd want all sorts of things. | [17:52] |
| asciilifeform: | mp_en_viaje: it's roughly same problem as crewing a surplus sovok submarine | [17:52] |
| asciilifeform: | (where'll you get the deck hands?) | [17:52] |
| mp_en_viaje: | and as you can see from the shots, all the furniture can simply be thrown out, who the fuck wants a tub looks like an overlarge vase. | [17:52] |
| mp_en_viaje: | not at all, submarine's tight and unpleasant because NECESSARILY flat. | [17:53] |
| asciilifeform: | not that flat (assuming comment is re org chart) , there's traditionally no fewer than 3 level | [17:53] |
| asciilifeform: | ( in ww1 germany -- even 4 ! ) | [17:54] |
| mp_en_viaje: | imo ideal design is more like 7 floors, going -3 dungeon -2 storage -1 garage 0 receiving 1 master's bedrooms 2 harem 3 servants 4 pools and amenties / terrace | [17:54] |
| asciilifeform: | aa, physical levels. | [17:54] |
| mp_en_viaje: | re submariens, no, i meant flat as in social hierarchy. commander's quarters aren't 100x the surface of midshipman. | [17:54] |
| mp_en_viaje: | these schloss things are more like overgrown bed&breakfast in practice, and i don't intend to run a motel. | [17:55] |
| asciilifeform: | e.g. sovok 'type 941' is almost what you'd want (iirc 7 decks) size-wise. but prolly bad deal for same reason as the austrian thing. | [17:58] |
| BingoBoingo: | I suspect the reinforced concrete mid-rise tower would make decent bones for a near-ideal design. I've been watching one of these go up in the backyard. It's just a shame the floors always get divided in such equalitarian manners. | [18:01] |
| mp_en_viaje: | to be fair my design is so early i don't even have anything definite worth the mention. so perhaps. | [18:02] |
| BingoBoingo: | The actual ferrocement structural components aside from the elevator shaft don't seem to be particularly limiting with respect to the floor layouts. | [18:03] |
| mp_en_viaje: | anyway, re typhoons : they're a 23x12meter oval 170ish meters long. this is fucking tiny wtf. | [18:04] |
| mp_en_viaje: | and a third of it has to be a nuclear reactor. i don't fucking want to have to operate a (marine!) nuclear reactor. | [18:04] |
| asciilifeform: | mp_en_viaje: came with 4 diesels , and i dun suppose the reactor gets sold at any rate. but if mp_en_viaje says 'too small', then too small, who am i to say. | [18:05] |
| mp_en_viaje: | your total usable floor space is not going to be over 500 sqm or so. | [18:05] |
| asciilifeform: | well asciilifeform never 1ce lived in anyffing remotely approaching 500 sqm, so possibly aint one to talk. | [18:06] |
| mp_en_viaje: | and meh diesels, if you don't nuclear why submarine, buy a boat. | [18:06] |
| mp_en_viaje: | my cr place is about there. it's not THAT big. | [18:06] |
| * asciilifeform | aint by any rights qualified to design a schloss, cuz 'never inverted 10k x 10k matrix' | [18:07] |
| BingoBoingo: | A bit more than an hour remains before te first Uruguayan presidential debate in 25 years. | [21:51] |
