Sun Jan 29 07:23:47 UTC 2017 <punkman> "We are planning at the next room refurbishment for old-fashioned door locks with real keys. Just like 111 years ago at the time of our great-grandfathers"
Thu Mar 24 03:21:40 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> for curiosity, i actually checked the old logs. this was reg'd apr 10th 2012 ; at the time i was hanging out in #bitcoin-otc-eu ; he mentioned it there sometime on the 12th that caught my eye and the rest be history.

Sun Feb 28 17:11:56 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> (unrelatedly - i've re-read the arabic old texts. the previous time i did this they ended up in the fire. somehow, the shit's grown EVEN MORE offensive over the years. scarcely can explain this wonder - the people involved have been dead for a thousand years.)
Fri Feb 26 04:03:11 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> it'll be either a chick nobody could conceivably want for any purpose, so basically an old prune before her time,
Wed Feb 24 13:36:07 UTC 2016 <mircea_popescu> i can't think of a time this was the case, in either the old country or the america.
Mon Feb 22 23:48:38 UTC 2016 <pete_dushenski> asciilifeform: that's an apt analogy in that both car and hdd are superficially affordable, but not practically. old car costs hundreds if not thousands in unexpected maintenance EVERY YEAR. hdd costs time, space, troubleshooting, etcetc. a car you own outright (ie. no debt payments), like a desktop you own outright (ie. no winbloze avec nsa) are exceedingly high-end appointments. neither is 'accessible' in any way.
Thu Feb 18 23:05:45 UTC 2016 <phf> actually one van dweller i knew was this nasty, 60 year old hippie dude, sort of ram das like character. i think all he did was cruise from one west coast hot spring to another. he would always have an utterly zonkered, 20 year old, supermodel looking girl in his van, every time i'd run into him, a different one.
Fri Jan 29 21:01:54 UTC 2016 <mod6> this thing doesn't play nice trying to run it more than one time with old artifacts laying around.
Thu Jan 28 12:37:11 UTC 2016 <asciilifeform> 'A similar problem exists with the biggest futures market in the world: in crude oil. Here, traders have been having a merry old time taking advantage of a notional glut, driving the price of crude lower and lower. They could drive it as low as $1 a barrel, but then what? The problem is, nobody on earth can produce oil that cheaply, and so a day will come when somebody will demand delivery on their $1/bbl crude contract, and t
Mon Jan 18 22:25:25 UTC 2016 <shinohai> Reading. I still like old-fashioned books so I spend a lot of time in Library.
Wed Jan 13 16:20:29 UTC 2016 <ascii_butugychag> old timers are especially allergic to real-time anything
Wed Jan 13 00:23:44 UTC 2016 <phf> also zen doesn't support most of the modern x11 extensions, that you might want for running something like firefox. in fact last time i checked it didn't support xrander, which is an old image composition extension that might as well be standard
Mon Dec 28 06:54:30 UTC 2015 <mircea_popescu> here's the thing : not your call to make. by the time they need or can benefit from that sort of thing, they're old enough to pick their own/

Sun Nov 08 05:04:17 UTC 2015 <punkman> there were a couple local ebay-clones here that passed all their data to the taxman. "oh you sold 6 old phones this year? and what did you not have time to incorporate and register for VAT?"
