2015-11-17 at 6:07 PM UTC in "teen" angst
like why is it ok that we live in a country where corruption is ok, and meaningless war is ok?
Probably because most mature adults have found better things to do than whine about it, and that life's worth living anyway. At least that's why people can be comfortable with it, but there's a lot of more rigorous answers as well (the french existentialists in particular, making their careers in the wake of WWII, have a lot to say about being content in a world with a lot of problems, most of them worse than what a 21st century american is ever going to face).but i say fuck all those people, im literally smarter than them and more competent
Lol, you're sure you're not a teenager? -

2015-11-17 at 8:38 AM UTC in How old are you and what are your plans for your life?so OT I guess, I'm 22, I don't have any particular plans besides trying to find interesting work and getting as good as I can at what I do. My only real goals are to do novel research again at some point and donate a little more but both those are kinda nebulous, no real timeframe. I guess living a long time in relatively good health is an ambition as well.

2015-11-17 at 8:17 AM UTC in ATTN: SpectralSpectral, you've been preaching doom and gloom for almost a decade now you old fuck. You say the same thing over and over and once in a blue mood, by sheer force of statistical noise, you happen to say something that can be shoehoned through extreme mental gymnastics into something roughly approximating truth you write it down in your creepy e-victories book and act like your a fucking prophet for literal years thereafter.
Also it's funny after years of crying about imported chan memes you fucking rip off some cringy shit from anonymous. -

2015-11-17 at 6:07 AM UTC in How old are you and what are your plans for your life?Lol, believe it or not I'm actually familiar with "art of manliness", and while tasteful might not be the term I'd use it certainly is geared towards faggots.
The grant study is certainly interesting although it has its share of flaws. I will say the whole "bringing manly back" or "gentleman's movement" thing is not only cuckfodder but really really pathetic. I fall, in a very general sense, into the post-structuralist camp and generally consider the phenomenon of "manliness" and especially our cultural notions of the man/boy distinction to be archaic and generally harmful. But even if I didn't think that, the idea that people with penises in 2015 need some 50s themed self-help website telling them to keep journals and how to "groom" themselves is so cringeworthy, so fucking dickless, that I want to grab the author of these things by the shoulders and scream "FUCKING PUSSY" in their face until they're dripping with my saliva and then kick them in the nuts they don't actually seem to have. -
2015-11-17 at 5:49 AM UTC in Ok guys help me own this network.Shut up spectal, you're so obviously clueless it hurts to read. I really really hope you're just been trolling us for years because the more I think about how frequently you lie about knowing things you don't the more it makes me cringe, to the point of pain, at how pathetic that would be.
Also for the people capable of helping(That means you Lanny) It would appear perl scripts run and give output, what i am thinkng is that perhaps PyCat doesn't run because it makes use of the netaddr module which may not be installed on the server. Why it doesn't print an error message i still don't really know though, but when i was testing the perl script i was able to dump printed output to a txt file and was able to cat it properly, so it must be that something is up with the server's python install.
Oh, oh, derping out here. Try `python PyCat.py &> foobar.txt`, the important part bering "&>". Regular redirection only works for stdout, if you have an immediate error or something it may be getting spit out on stderr which is why it wouldn't have shown up before. -

So, Sophie… tell me, why didn't your script provide any return? You apparently have all the answers and should know by now, so please share your extensive knowledge on the subject with us.
Confronted with the realization he can't keep bullshitting ad infinitum, Spectral resorts to parroting the very question he was asked. It's obvious neither I nor Soph know an exact reason why he's not getting output but it's even more obvious that you don't either, the difference is some of use are trying to troubleshoot while you're acting high and mighty trying to score some epeen points by spouting platitudes that you back out of as soon as anyone presses you to stop being vague and misleading. -
2015-11-15 at 9:11 PM UTC in Built a KeyboardNice. How do you get by on a 60% though? Navigation cluster is useless sure and I use my function keys pretty heavily although I can see how people could not care but lack of the arrow keys seems like it would be tough to work with. Like sure, you could probably drive an editor and custom shell without them but it seems like anything with text entry other than specialized tools (things like browsers, utility stuff, the shell on every machine you ssh into) is going to lean on them pretty heavily. Do you have some macro magic or does it really just not come up?

Some you can, and some you can't.
So which ones can you and which can't you? Why is there a distinction? -
2015-11-15 at 5:03 AM UTC in Ok guys help me own this network.
It's a perimeter network.
OK, so if trying to execute commands across "zones" isn't allowed then why can soph execute other things on the remote machine, such as cat-ing a file? -
2015-11-15 at 3:42 AM UTC in Ok guys help me own this network.
You're trying to execute across zones. You can't do that.
What exactly is a "zone" speccy? -

Blocking out the windows is the easiest and most obvious option, if it isn't flat out illegal to have an RV parked overnight on residential streets, but to get around that I've thought about the idea of simply putting a huge tarp/car cover over it, which would be pretty amusing, although if there's dick/asshole cop in your area with nothing better to do you could still get screwed, particularly if certain types of people complain (better to stay out nicer White neighborhoods).
For electricity, solar could be an option in some areas. Not sure if they've developed enough to provide enough power for everything needed, major appliances like a water heater, stove/oven, refrigerator, computer, etc. Then you'd just a place to fillup the water tank. For the toilet, you can go a while without needing to drain the septic system. There's also the option of using a gym for showers and toilets, Planet Fitness is only $10 a month, although they're garbage if you want to use an actual gym, and you could also take advantage of the free pizza and bagel days if they're compatible with your diet. Or you could pay someone to let you use a hose and extension cord from their house. Internet would also be easy with a good antenna and wireless adapter setup + a good hacking OS.
I mean to each their own. There was a time when I wanted to live on a beach in some unpopulated part of Mexico. I just associate RVs with poor midwesterners, "trailer trash" is a term for a reason.There are a lot of creative options. If you wanted to go all out you could create an expandable double decker setup. I guarantee you that prices in most major metropolitan areas, aside from those that are already relatively affordable, will never drop significantly. Even if they ever do, it won't be for a good reason, but due to a major crash due to an economic crisis, likely brought on by debt (This is not conservative fear mongering, some places are already dealing with a shitstorm due to this) or housing prices becoming so unsustainable it just tanks the regional economy due to a mass exodus. Options like this are going to become much more attractive. For example, Lanny, you've stated that you already have enough for a mortgage on an apartment and that it could cost less that what you're currently paying in rent, but if you ever get married and have a child, want a place with privacy and a decent amount of room for them to grow up (Whatever happened to yards? Christ it would have been awful not having one. Access to an actual significant chunk of wilderness, a nice forest, would have been incredible, but I loved the relatively large backyard of my parent's home. Human's weren't meant to develop without places like that, there's already data on the significant benefits, who knows how much it could be screwing kids up.), in a nice/safe area, hoo boy are you going to pay a painful amount.
Something something naturalistic fallacy something cognitive biases something something.
"but muh studies", well let's see them then. I grew up around a lot of nature and it was nice, I have quaint memories of playing in forests and jungles and shit but I probably would have traded it for a better graphics card at the time.
In any case, the usual scheme is to leave SF proper and settle somewhere out in eastbay. On a SF salary you can live in berkley or something, some nice nature around there. I'd hate to live in a truly "nice" neighborhood though, which is what I think Berkley and surrounding areas is going to be in not too many years. Not that I have any intention of "starting a family" anyway. When I walk home from the financial district it's like a breath of fresh air as the streets becomes progressively dirtier, the stores slide from upscale retail to ethnic restaurants and the people on the street aren't all wearing suits.
