I remember when Putin was just starting out in politics (He was not president or primeminister yet) and it was discovered that he was uncorruptable/Incorruptible. They brought in some contracts and proposals for some computer software and they sat down and he started reading it. They tried to talk and he told them to be silent. He read every page. The companies just thought they could just hand over a
<SiFuh>
fist full of cash (so to say) and it would be approved. After Putin finished reading the document he stood up and said "This doesn't suit Russia or Russian interests." Then ended the meeting on the spot. This pissed off the Western corporations big time.

I updated the Nvidia driver anyway this morning.
<ppetrov^>
i have an old nvidia quadro and performance is terrible with nouveau
<SiFuh>
Nouveau just sucks outright. Never liked it
<SiFuh>
Wish it was equal or better than Nvidia
<ppetrov^>
i have to admit radeon has much better perofmance with the open drivers
<ppetrov^>
i remember when Linux showed nvidia the finger at some lecture in helsinki
<ppetrov^>
*linus
<SiFuh>
Not sure, all my Radeons are powering OpenBSD with 3D acceleration
<SiFuh>
He you just made me remember those Aussie assholes who can't pronounce Linux correctly and when they try correcting me, I use to play this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c39QPDTDdXU
<SiFuh>
It was used in the old days for testing audio on Linux
<ppetrov^>
i meant better performance compared to nvidia
<SiFuh>
Not sure, all my Radeons are powering OpenBSD with 3D acceleration
<ppetrov^>
you can ask them Aussie assholes how the'd pronounce "Torvalds"
<SiFuh>
Hehe By the way that BMX Bandit movie had such bad English
<ppetrov^>
heh
<SiFuh>
I finished watching it yesterday. So many memories of the BMX brands and logos.
<SiFuh>
ppetrov^: The part where they say "If only we had our wheels" and the female police officer says "BMX! Goose, PJ, Powderpuff, that's BMX talk" .....fucking hell man
<ppetrov^>
well, i haven't seen it myself. Just heard of it. Why, is the dialogue too cringy?
<SiFuh>
It's very bad acting and the how a female officer can figure out they are looking for BMX kids is just clutching at straws
<SiFuh>
And the voice over seems to not fit. For example one of the kids has a very deep voice that doesn't appear to match his real voice. I think it is to do with the sound setup though
<SiFuh>
Like he is talking in a room when he is actually outside and you can hear the difference
<ppetrov^>
heh
<SiFuh>
I liked it though. But only because I am BMX guy. Haha
<SiFuh>
Hate the Aussie accent
<SiFuh>
Next month, I plan to change my rims to a pair of SKYWAY TUFF II. Now I am looking for a 9T casette sprocket for the rear. If not, I will need to change my 25T drive sprocket to 44T which I am trying to avoid.
<ppetrov^>
SiFuh, aren't you australian yourself?
<SiFuh>
ppetrov^: Of course, doesn't mean I have to like their stupid accent
<ppetrov^>
heh
<ppetrov^>
i'm like this with eastern european accents
<SiFuh>
I like the Texan, Irish, Welsh and Scottish accents
<ppetrov^>
and i, myself, sound terrible
<SiFuh>
Oh, I don't have an Australian accent. I made sure of that.
<ppetrov^>
heh
<ppetrov^>
congratulations!
<SiFuh>
I meet a few that try to conceal that they are Australians but there are two things that always gives them away "No" and "Really?"
<SiFuh>
There are things that are very difficult to hide. So making those slips gives you away. What I really love doing is making the slips in other accents. Like saying "Thirty" like an American or "Year" like a South African. It really fscks with their heads :-P
<ppetrov^>
heh
<ppetrov^>
long time ago, i met some polish people who tried very hard to sound british. It was ridiculous and over the top fake, so I have up on myself. And I spik wid veri strong iistern evropean accent
<ppetrov^>
*have/gave
<SiFuh>
Haha
<SiFuh>
ppetrov^: Better you learn Cockney
<ppetrov^>
no way
<ppetrov^>
i mean, no way i can
<ppetrov^>
"Did you see that ludicrous display last night?"
<SiFuh>
Moss talking about football
<ppetrov^>
yep
<SiFuh>
I'd have to see my favorite scene is Moss "What kind of operating system does it use?" Cop "It's…err...Vista." Moss "We're going to die!"
<SiFuh>
I was pro. people paid good money for me. I only stopped when the Australian government got what they ordered and they refused to pay
<SiFuh>
I painted walls and created advertisments
<SiFuh>
Fucking Tostioes in the US stole my work for their dog and lizard cartoon
<remiliascarlet>
At least you weren't rejected by an art school, only to become the greatest leader the world has ever seen in a neighboring country.
<SiFuh>
I was rejected
<remiliascarlet>
Das Artwork!
<SiFuh>
By fucking art teacher hated my work
<ppetrov^>
SiFuh, are you becoming a leader?
<SiFuh>
She was always fuckign messing around with it
<remiliascarlet>
"She was always fuckign messing around with it" Sounds like you 2 had a great time together.
<SiFuh>
I painted a beautiful painting and she came in throwing colours at it and smearing it all over the place. I fixed it in the end. The other students were pissed off at her
<remiliascarlet>
How the fuck did she even end up being an art teacher?
<SiFuh>
They said "How dare Miss Ford come in a just hijack your painting like it is hers?"
<SiFuh>
She wanted me to be a freaking renasaunt painter or something. I just wanted to be a cartoonist
<SiFuh>
ppetrov^: I am in a way. When shit hits the fan, I end up taking over.
<ppetrov^>
right!
<SiFuh>
But there are other Alphas around. I let them do their shit.
<remiliascarlet>
When shit hits the fan, my room would get really messy.
<SiFuh>
To be honest, I love leading but at the same time, I hate people asking me what to do. So for example when I go jungle I let the others lead. But when the flood comes, I take over.
<remiliascarlet>
Leading does require quite a bit of ignoring idiots.
<SiFuh>
If I tiger takes one of their kids. I guarantee, I will be alone and gone and chasing that cat down.
<SiFuh>
And I am bringing that kid back
<remiliascarlet>
This is why I stopped developing open source, because I was constantly getting adult diapers demanding me to implement features I didn't want to implement all the time.
<remiliascarlet>
Meanwhile, those people contributed nothing, not even money.
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: I agree. Actually when I quickly whipped up CKUT no one complained. Even when there was obvious errors
<SiFuh>
CRUX guys are too soft :-P
<SiFuh>
ppetrov^: Perfect example. Last week I took my truck to the Mechanic and some new coils (springs) for my suspension. I ended up taking over. Especially when I saw hammers swinging around
<SiFuh>
Fortunately I had a 6 pack of beer with me, or I'd have smacked a few people out. Hahaha
<SiFuh>
Nice guys, and I will definitely go back. Especialy since they let me in the shop and just go hardcore on my vehicle like I worked there
<remiliascarlet>
Did you know that in many rental housing over here, pets are not allowed? And that cats are much more banned than dogs?
<remiliascarlet>
The reason is because they say that cats will scratch on walls, floors, and other stuff owned by the landlord.
<SiFuh>
Did you know where I lived in Australia if you saw a cat outside in the forrest and you have a gun you MUST kill it
<remiliascarlet>
Just trim their nails then!
<SiFuh>
remiliascarlet: Best is to give them tinned food and a can-opener. If they are truly, really hungry, they'll figure out how to use it
<SiFuh>
If they die, then they are jsut stupid and Darwin wins
<remiliascarlet>
They don't necessarily scratch stuff out of hunger.
<SiFuh>
I've noticed they don't know how to use a can-opener either
<SiFuh>
HAHAHAHAHA
lavaball has joined #crux-social
<SiFuh>
Oh lavaball Did you see the news today about Ching Chong vs Pommy piano player again?
<SiFuh>
The Piano is now cordoned off and the public can't touch it
<SiFuh>
The Pom sent a message to Elton John and he is waiting a reply
<remiliascarlet>
Humans are the only animals who know how to use a can opener.
<SiFuh>
I don't think humans are animals
<remiliascarlet>
At least, those who are millenials or older.
<SiFuh>
Hehehe
<SiFuh>
You know after years of research, I found something humans do that animals don't then a guy from Brazil destroyed it for me and now I am still trying to find out what we do different
<remiliascarlet>
"I am still trying to find out what we do different" Easy one: we blindly trust a group of people who want us dead.
<remiliascarlet>
And brainwashed before that.
<remiliascarlet>
Most people would much rather trust their government/corporate/media overlords than their own families or friends even.
<SiFuh>
All exists in nature
<SiFuh>
The one I came up with we are the only life to cook/prepare food.
<remiliascarlet>
Well, you won't see a lion conquer an entire jungle and brainwash all the animals with outright propaganda.
<SiFuh>
But that aint true as I have seen animals cook food. But more interesting is that dogs prepare and flavour their food
<SiFuh>
Beef in fat, 75 Celsius. 24 hours. Half of that will be my dinner tomorrow
<remiliascarlet>
Erotic!
<SiFuh>
She said "I should thaw it first right?" I said "Nope, just put it in and turn it on."
<SiFuh>
The meat will be soft and carry the original raw meat flavor and all the nutrition. No cells destroyed
<SiFuh>
You add your flavours after like salt or chilli or whatever
<remiliascarlet>
A friend of mine once saw me put chicken into a grill, they were very shocked I just transfered the chicken from the packaging to the grill with my bear hands.
<SiFuh>
That orange is actually duck fat by the way
<remiliascarlet>
"You won't use gloves!?" "No?"
<SiFuh>
You have bear hands?
<remiliascarlet>
Bare hands.
<SiFuh>
Hahah FPS Russia drove a tank through a drive-through and commented on the woman as having hands like a bear
