i ought to say something nice about those who "do well in train stations" and the highest compliment i can pay them is their handling of kinetic complexity i think.

hm, odd, when i think about it, i *don't* do well in train stations! not that i would show this in public, that is intolerable. i think it's the ambiguous stakes and idiosyncratic processes: stale information, agglomerated way-finding, too grounded in the earth. it's all too emergent. too free.

and it occurs to me that before liaising with somebody, however that may be, you really ought to be entitled to see them in an airport.

having transited airports with otherwise competent people doing precisely that, i did ask rude questions. as someone who functions *far better* under a mental load of some constant stress, it is dumbfounding that some ppl react to this by encountering every object and instruction as a new surprise.

rather like going to the airport. everything's open and everyone is in a rush. i wish more things w/ which i must interface had the design language of an airport. placeless and functional.

and for the apparently 6.8 gigs of ram it uses while idling with no user processes open

truly, this is unix computing

pouring one out for tim apple

for the 550 terabytes of write operations on my desktop since i last restarted it

for needing to go at every visible vent-like hole with a needle attachment on a vacuum on max power, as it is glued together

for the window manager using 32 gigs of ram and 30 of swap

and i’m on line for the cash in front of one side of an argument in French with a boyfriend (I agree, sounds like you were disrespected, don’t care)

don’t you just want to move somewhere you don’t speak the language and go into stasis

yknow i used to love to hear the city around me, thought the headphones-on people were Odd. now i’ve got a group of three slow-walkers who cannot pick a lane discussing the selection of the cannabis shop in Spanish (I agree, bad, don’t care)

is it just me or has this become as boring to read as his screeds and whines about his various legal problems

everyone needs to Read Theory

one may have to dig deep for sympathy to those served, but they should be on that pedestal for their mild-mannered restraint. are you really liable for your actions when fobbed off with a red spinel.

of course, that is not the end of the world, and so-called “atomic” settlement is interesting for other reasons. but it is another thing for the payee to discount.

if you do not believe me that there is embedded settlement and counterparty risk please plunk one down on Sandy McTire’s counter and redeem your beaver

well yes the first joint-stock company in this timber raft and/or junior miner and/or attic tokenized the beavers

whataburger would be a heck of a lot better if i could order chicken 65 there

you would strain to look at this and tell me there is a god. but there is. it's us.

and i was appalled. perhaps it is a return to form.

i saw an advertisement from adobe acrobat, the desktop publishing software, introducing the feature to "make longer" or "make shorter" a selection of text through a context menu. the idea i suppose is that one writes so meaninglessly as to be interested in the utmost with size.

ah yes the one corinthians. we love it folks.

while trying to establish the provenance of a negotiable instrument from 19th century new brunswick, i came across an extract of that book in the paper. as was usual and customary, when one needed filler. must be some book tbh, i can see why people read it. you own everything. everything is yours.

i resent relationship-based sales. we’re not friends and we do not value each other.

only once?

if he's running xdiv and boxx to avoid distributions i would cheer

are the palets d'or at chocolats favoris any good or is this a problem solved by going to france

i am, generally, an enthusiastic fan of anything that innovates people like this out of the way. why i love the national bid and best offer, grey market luxury good arbitrage out of europe, and alibaba. but, being one of those people,, 🥺

wouldn't it be whimsical to do business over the phone again

rio owns the scandium-aluminum complex up in sorel but i would get satisfaction beyond price – that's value – in saying "i am the scandium industry" and then keeping callers waiting
