asciilifeform: nubbins`: solderpaste is even less fun, because actually is a suspension of metal balls. and if you misapply it, you get defects
asciilifeform: nubbins`: silkscreen for pcb looks quite like this also. paste press is a somewhat different item, applies substance with consistency of toothpaste
BingoBoingo: <nubbins`> let's feed all our clean water to alfalfa plants so we can ship them overseash << But It's the only way to get some of these shipping containers back to China in a manner other than empty!
asciilifeform: nubbins`: this looks very much like the solder paste press i was considering buying
mircea_popescu: nubbins` they prollydo it for the milanesas
mircea_popescu: nubbins` nope.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` not that many, i find!
asciilifeform: nubbins`: were these folks claiming to be professional 'tasters' ?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: skills that cannot be faked or debased, i have a soft spot for, yes. but the fraudsters did find the pill against this, and it was to build entire fraudwots that cancerously spiderweb across any passageway whereby the layman might wander in
mircea_popescu: nubbins` they're prolly just bored
asciilifeform: nubbins`: the thread concerned a conversation we had at c3 about a hypothetical profession of 'computer sommelier'

BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> nubbins`: if i did not have a full-time pet to handle the food problem, i would probably have to survive on something like military rations. << Sprats come in can, RATIONS!!!
ascii_field: nubbins`: if i did not have a full-time pet to handle the food problem, i would probably have to survive on something like military rations.
ascii_field: nubbins`: you are quite right, that the situation is very different in usa.
felipelalli: nubbins`: don't worry, selective memory.
felipelalli: nubbins`: you said "don't worry, you're new" something like that.
ascii_field: nubbins`: academic, though. food is scarcely a tenth of it
ascii_field: nubbins`: go try eating, e.g., plankton for the rest of your life
ascii_field: nubbins`: not even chinese live on rice alone
felipelalli: mircea_popescu: thank you for your considerations, you're right. nubbins` thank you for comprehend.
nubbins`: <+ascii_field> nubbins`: if i worked in a cubicle, the last thing i would do is buy a pogo and mess with it << what did you buy and play with instead? a nagant, testing how it feels in the mouth, as in mircea_popescu's 'dulap' story ? <<< not in so many words :P
ascii_field: <Chillum> his hostile code should have sat dormant for 6 months, then someone with no obvious connection to him should have got the ticket << i suppose this is when nubbins` says 'learn the dark marketz, anyone can!' and mircea_popescu tells us about the superiority of human dark org vs relying on machines
ascii_field: nubbins`: the only thing that'll make alf walk away is alf << nubbins` would probably be rather surprised to learn that - other than the physical separation from wildlife (e.g., nubbins`'s roommate) - i have very few luxuries
ascii_field: nubbins`: maybe once you get enough toys it'll be a fair trade << all the toys i buy put together are dwarfed by the cost of living like a human being (e.g., not having rabid hyenas in my home, nor within 100 metres, etc.)
ascii_field: nubbins`: if i worked in a cubicle, the last thing i would do is buy a pogo and mess with it << what did you buy and play with instead? a nagant, testing how it feels in the mouth, as in mircea_popescu's 'dulap' story ?
ascii_field: nubbins`: but i'll note that this is a problem with alf, not with walking away << i've noticed that even you have exhausted your patience with the bipedal rabid dog in your home...
pete_dushenski: nubbins`: how is it that longer trips don't suffice ? suffice for what ?
pete_dushenski: nubbins`: oh you're busy nao ? what happened to mr. man of leisure of twodogslandia ?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` how so ? house is house.
mircea_popescu: "my body is my patchwork ~nubbins"
nubbins`: i'm serious: <+nubbins`> lobbes truly foolhardy is the man to whom i serve as an example
mircea_popescu: nubbins` or body mods or w/e.
lobbes: nubbins', your example leaving your 61k job is validating my similar decision to eventually leave my new job for something less lucrative but more sane
mircea_popescu: nubbins` you know, just because your job sucked doesn't mean work sucks.
pete_dushenski: nubbins`: lolk
pete_dushenski: nubbins`: guessing that 61k is pre-tax, i'll guess 20k savings. i'm guessing you've got skill in this saving domain.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` alf likes gadgets.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` it's when you stop contributing to an idiotic community and just keep for yourself.
mircea_popescu: not everything's insurable nubbins`. specifically : insurance works for individuals. i was discussing the country/western world.
adlai also wonders wo what degree nubbins` has "gone galt", perhaps without being consciously aware of the concept
mircea_popescu: nubbins` how much is teh interest on that 200k ?
pete_dushenski: nubbins`: ya how does that actually work financially ?
adlai: nubbins`: well you can have all the right puzzle pieces on the table, yet not see the picture
mircea_popescu: nubbins` to the degree that one's action is prevented by organised debris in his head, then this process may clear a path he can finally act upon
adlai: well it's more towards nubbins` who seems to have trouble getting across what was said quite aptly millenia ago
mircea_popescu: nubbins` all about how and why would one go in the water, whether there's breathing, ample considerations.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` honestly i thought you were kinda dumb for the entire interval, but in a reserved sort of way.
nubbins`: <+nubbins`> now, at this point, i'd like to take the opportunity to inquire as to what the general consensus is, among those present, regarding my intelligence, wisdom, and overall sensibility
asciilifeform recalls a thread where nubbins` spoke of having some sort of actual assets to his name
asciilifeform: nubbins`: you did mention a paid-up house. so whatever the intelligence and wisdom, nubbins` is rich
mircea_popescu: nubbins` discussions on teh side of the pool.
adlai: nubbins` seems content to swim, or clutch driftwood, after taking the hatchet to his yacht
asciilifeform: to comprehend what nubbins` meant.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: walk where?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: walking away with a zippo tossed over shoulder is the only way to find out.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: again the lsd
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: because nubbins` has this incomplete thread with me, re: 'you too can learn to be me'
asciilifeform: nubbins`: i'd like to hear honest take from you, on this matter. would you say that the 20 years i spent learning to do what i do, since was a boy, a waste, like career of a bureaucrat? or does serenissima world have some use for the type of thing that i do.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=10-04-2015#1095008 << thread re: same ☝︎
asciilifeform: nubbins`: no.
asciilifeform: nubbins`: share the lsd ?
asciilifeform: nubbins`: the partizan armies of iraq, afghan, etc. are like zoo cats
asciilifeform: nubbins`: in mircea_popescu's world, as i understand, every soldier is naked but for his parachute, and ought to take what he needs from the locals
assbot: Logged on 13-04-2015 15:53:31; nubbins`: consider how quickly your tongue healed the last time you bit it hard enough to draw blood and oaths
pete_dushenski: nubbins`: that cop is pretty fucked.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: nubbins`it's that pain in general is bad, and to be avoided
mircea_popescu: nubbins` what i don't get with all the libertards is why exactly they imagine oppression is a bad thing.
pete_dushenski: nubbins`: lol yea
pete_dushenski: nubbins`: for the same reason
pete_dushenski: nubbins`: i can barely imagine your face the first time you bought a bitcoin
mircea_popescu: nubbins` for the record, traditional (european) cooking happened around this large flat table of very thick oak ☟︎
mircea_popescu: nubbins` it makes in two days ?!
mircea_popescu: nubbins` nah, just, wood stuff was cheap. you'd go through multiple sets each year np
mircea_popescu: nubbins` end of day.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` what i said was that the kitchen's the worst place to share with some whoever. it is.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` uh i dun follow.
funkenstein_: thanks for correction nubbins *face palm*
