mircea_popescu: asciilifeform this theory is altogether dubious because one of the richest u fields in all of europe was in romania, cvasi-native u-in-quartz deposits. which went unbothered until the 50s, when the soviets dug them up.
mircea_popescu: anyway. my fault for not keeping current on physical crackpottery i guess
mircea_popescu: wasn't obvious at all, i spent an hour this morning wading through pseudoscience swamp because of you!
mircea_popescu is fully satisfied with "precious metals" explanation re that, fwiw.
mircea_popescu: so it wouldn't stretch the bounds of the plausible if the nazis had an early, low efficiency, fusor-like thing ; which would have been no larger than a doberman ; and so isn't related to either some random polish dude's fantasies of "my village is special - look, that mountainside, is where thor sat down!" or whatever argentina landing bills.
mircea_popescu: ugh. so 5 out of 7 people who made it accidentally looked down the barrel ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform any idea why it would be that fucking big ? you don't really gain much by making the outer cage 3 meters wide.
mircea_popescu: especially given that it REALLY helps the story, "oh, last summer i went to this secret palace where all the girls are 19 and spend the whole day nude. unfortunately they all died. curse of the nudist palace."
mircea_popescu: im sure the journalist had a bunch of girlfriends "that died" back when he was 13.
mircea_popescu: it doesn't seem likely the device they might have built would have killed much of anyone ; moreover the story of "fatalties" is how pubescent males always tend to lend a shrowd of cool to their fantasious fabrications.
mircea_popescu: well sure, but there's a difference between the Vs, which actually did land in london, and in abundance bordering on public nuisance
mircea_popescu: now, if they managed to source a megawatt, which seems dubious, and if they managed to get the usual 10^5 power loss, which seems also dubious, even if we grant they had the concept 30 years early, then it follows that they might have made 100 watt worth of neutron source.
mircea_popescu: anyway. yes it wouldn't stretch the bounds of the plausible, seeing how eg tesla was dicking around with high electrostatic potentials for his principal entertainment.
mircea_popescu: well it'd help if you said that. ie, "a clumsy, bulky fusor" not "a clumsy, bulky neutron source"
mircea_popescu: look. what source of neutrons do you have in mind other than a linear accelerator ?
mircea_popescu: also, the effects described aren't quite what neutron beams do.
mircea_popescu: so which part of the nonsense is part of your accepted reconstruction ? i don't imagine sponeaneous margerinization of plant matter for a 150 to 200 m radius makes it in?
mircea_popescu: literally, the angel moroni showed him some sikrit documents ?
mircea_popescu: well, the origin is a single report from a pole (ie, nato) who is a literal re-enaction of historical mormon guy.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform that glocke bs is something else. seriously, rando pole came up with some nutty shit in 2000 and the murican joseph smiths ran with it ?
mircea_popescu: a leading example implementation of asciilifeform 's point re "ascii is like naked people"
mircea_popescu: ohv, possibly the world's shittiest host in terms of all the spam/abuse/assorted crap they push out.
mircea_popescu: fwiw i see ACTION with the first glyph rendered as 0001
mircea_popescu: you know people can go a coupla days being busy with, eg, a new lover, a dead family member, buying a new piece of real estate / boat / etcetera.
mircea_popescu: dude if the company can't afford to ferry some women to the designated fuckbeach it should be rolled up anyway.
mircea_popescu: seriously now. what fucking trite boring nitwits are these ?
mircea_popescu: "when he finds out his lead used the company gas card to drive a mini-bus full of whores to Ocean City" dude who the fuck would be upset over this ?
mircea_popescu: but yes, by and large men will fight "for" women. cuz for what the fuck else, aliens ?
mircea_popescu: and now back to the issue : human sexuality is an intertwined ball of yarn, with layer upon layer of complex mechanisms driven over many years by the erosion of evolution. just plain obstetrics holds plenty of mysteries to the average folk (quick, what's cervical effacement ?), and so wide sweeping, far reaching discussions of third and above degree effects, such as the social behaviour of "war" are bound to be pretty nonsens
mircea_popescu: incidentally, anyone (of the married with children contingent) know what braxton hicks contractions are ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: eh, these are murky complex waters. not really within ex boxer's paygrade.
mircea_popescu: she ain't got a latrine pig's prayer in the latrine, alfie.
mircea_popescu: "america dun need to be made great again because i can pretend the year is still 1980 and reagan's in charge any time i want!"
mircea_popescu: lol racism through "calling women pigs", because totally a) women are a race b) claiming "racism" is how you win at politics c) everyone really cares about your misrepresentations of the hater op's sayings and assorted aphorisms.
mircea_popescu reading on cascadia... "you stand by a switch. her buttocks are really inviting but her nipples are really erect..."
mircea_popescu: incidentally, anyone ever noticed how fucking ugly twitter hq is ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i dun think it can be practically conveyed just how ghetto these schmucks actually are.
mircea_popescu: the salient points being that "she's only 22", that "she's grown up - before, she'd jump into a bed just as soon as being kicked out of another, but now she even rented her first departamento", that "her ex isn't going to breach the restraining order, and that time when he beat her in the club it was a month after the first such order expired" and finally that her mother "also suffered amorouslyt with a lot of men"
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo in other lulz, i reviewed over coffee the TWELVE PAGE ad some local tv beauty / whore took out for herself.
mircea_popescu: in fairness, argentina is very... how shall we put this so it respects their soberania... very precociously ejaculatory. for the first ten minutes or so, an encounter with an argentinotard looks like a normal date. after that...
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you get to vote her for a second term in 2020!
mircea_popescu: o hey, imagine if you vote hillary and she wins by one vote.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform probably just to spy on the land of the brave better.
mircea_popescu: you don't understand these things because not a citizen mkay
mircea_popescu: you should see how contemporaneous egyptian artist renders the female neck and upper back assemblage.
mircea_popescu: nah, it's strictly a matter of "draw by description item never seen".
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, they heard of it enough to fantasize about.
mircea_popescu: like you know, the "european bsdm castles" are still a thing in the vernacular. and probably always will be.
mircea_popescu: the main problem with the bdsm dorks is that they cultivate this bizarre air of mystery and whatnot. rarely do i actually feel inclined to cut through a thing of theirs.
