Stansfield ER: Everyone must create a virtual site

Benny $RANDOM_PHD_STUDENT: What do you mean "everyone"?

Stansfield ER:

Crema dental Colgate "clásica", 50ml. Precio por ml: $32.

Misma crema, 75ml. Precio por ml: $45.2.

Misma crema, 100ml. Precio por ml: $46.3.

Las fotos son del supermercado Éxito que está dentro del centro comercial San Martín. Sólo por salir de las dudas también revisé esa misma crema en otro supermercado (Olímpica), y los precios por ml también aumentan con la cantidad de crema comprada.

Con Kolynos pasa lo mismo, aunque no de forma tan marcada.

¿Puede alguno de ustedes dar una explicación razonable para esto? (Aparte de la evidente, por supuesto )

¿Tiene alguno de uds. más ejemplos de esto?

Yes, sometimes I feel like doing that when using pinax.

My "workflow" to check the mail of the lists I'm subscribed to was more or less like this:

1. Open the mailbox of the list.
2. Check the first mail of every new thread.
   1. If interesting, keep the whole thread/read it/whatever. Sometimes, flag all the thread (sort-of mark it as important.)
   2. If not, delete the whole thread.
   3. If the thread lacks a head (the first mail of the thread), is because I have deleted its previous emails (because the thread's topic wasn't interesting to me). Delete such threads.

Mutt has (or can be "taught") keybindings to delete a thread, mark it as important, mark all of it as read, and so on. I even have a macro to mark all the mail in a mailbox as read, for whenever I felt/feel lazy. But even with this helpers, handling/checking maillists has always been a chore.

There was a thing that I always wanted to have for handling mail lists: to be able to tell mutt that I'm not interested in a given thread (conversation) and that I don't want any more mail related to it in the future. To have mutt delete automatically all those headless threads.

Deleting the thread when I first see it is not a solution, since more mails related to it might be sent after I delete the thread. I always ended up killing those threads manually when they reappeared. Talking with somebody about this problem, I learned that the hivemind offers its "users" that feature; they call it muting a conversation.

After thinking about how to achieve that with mutt, I defined a plan: tell mutt to tag the threads I'm not interested into, and delete them. The only hard part was to teach mutt which were the threads to tag.

The non-interesting threads are those that lack a parent mail (the email that started the thread). These threads appear only when I delete its initial emails previously, and more email ot if arrives. The parent email is the only email in the thread that lacks a References header (I'm not 100% sure about this, let me know if I'm wrong). This is enough to build a folder hook to get rid of the extra mail of unwanted threads.

# delete not-interesting conversations
folder-hook listas/.* 'push "<tag-pattern>~A<enter><untag-pattern>~((! ~h References)|(~s fwd)|(~F))<enter><tag-prefix-cond><delete-message><end-cond>"'

That monstrosity does the following

1. Tag all the mails in the mailbox.
2. Untag (I didn't know mutt could do that) all the threads where there is at least one email in the thread that fulfills any of the following conditions:
   1. Doesn't have a References header (hence is a parent email, and it survived after I read it the first time.)
   2. Has the text Fwd in its subject. Without it the hook would delete the threads that started with a forwarded message.
   3. Are flagged. I placed it there to have a way of keeping headless threads.

Now whenever I enter to the folder of a maillist, all those pesky threads that refuse to die are automatically wiped out by my faithful mutt.

By the way, have I told you before that I really love mutt's logo?

I have written a vim plugin (ikiwiki-nav) that enables you to "follow" the wikilinks in an IkiWiki page, from inside vim; the plugin does the following:

• extract the wikilink of the text under the cursor
• figure out which is the file associated with the wikilink
• open that file (if it exists) in vim

It also has a couple of mappings for jumping to the previous/next wikilink in the current file.

ikiwiki-nav can be found here. You can find the usage and installation instructions there too.

It has a git repo, which you can find here.

Una de las ventajas de tener un papá muy manitas:

Siguiendo el diseño que encontré en instructables.

Todos los pasabocas que cuelgan de las vigas de las tejas de esos paraderos de carretera en la vía Melgar-Bogotá me traen la imagen de pan viejo. Pan viejo hecho bolitas, pan viejo con escarchado y forma de dona. De ese grupo de pasabocas, de niño a las achiras no las consideraba comestibles porque ni siquiera tienen el escarchado de las donitas, y sí seguían siendo pan viejo reprocesado empacado en una bolsa de difícil uso y fallida transparencia.

Las achiras siempre habían sido para mí el pasabocas horrible emblemático del paseo a Melgar. Tieso e insípido. Incomible sin una bebida a mano, y aún en ese caso, no muy incitante.

De hecho, apostaría a que en parte debido a ellas soy tan parco con la idea de llevar regalos de vuelta a mis allegados luego de un viaje --no me cabía en la cabeza que alguien le dé a alguien más un paquete de achiras como muestra de "aprecio"; si quieren parar a comprar eso, sigamos derecho. O mejor compremos todorricos--.

Vivía engañado.

Las achiras son deliciosas. La corteza es casi húmeda, oleosa, cremosa, y el interior es seco, pero apenas un poco; todo el bocado tiene la humedad suficiente para consumirlo solo. Y el sabor necesario para crear la necesidad imperiosa de consumir otra y dar rienda suelta al proceso inductivo que terminará acabando con el paquete. Y que incluso incita a acabar ahora mismo con el paquete que se está guardando para la novia.

Es curioso que no pueda evocar el sabor tan fácilmente. Pero trato de pensar en ellas y las asocio con queso. Y con trocipollos. El sabor ciertamente no es parecido, pero son igual de adictivos.

Sin embargo, las achiras no son los huevitos de masa petrificada que tratan de hacer pasar como las mismas en los paraderos de la vía Melgar-Bogotá. Las achiras son los pedacitos de gloria que se consiguen en el Huila, y en especial en Altamira, cerca al límite entre Huila y Caquetá.

¡nom, nom, nom!

Burke: "Ripley we have to talk

"we've lost contact with the colony on LV-426"

Ripley:"I don't believe this. You guys throw me to the wolfs and now you want me to go back out there? Forget it. It's not my problem"

Burke: "Can I finish?"

Ripley: "No. There's no way"

Gorman: "Ripley, you wouldn't be going in with the troops. I can guarantee your safety"

Burke: "See, these Colonial Marines are very tough hombres. They're packing state of the art firepower. There's nothing they can't handle. Lieutenant, am I right?"

Gorman: "That's true, we've been trained to deal with situations like this"

Ripley: "Heh, then you don't need me, I'm not a soldier"

Burke: "Yeah, but we don't know exactly what's going on out there. It might just be a down transmitter, OK? but if it's not, I would like you there as an advisor, and that's all"
