mircea_popescu: asciilifeform seems deductively self-evident
that
the superlative state of wildness is "has never seen man".
mircea_popescu: not like
they signal anything properly in
this country.\
mircea_popescu: if it doesn't and runs away it'll still remember
the encounter. not good for it.
mircea_popescu: if it panics and charges you you'll have
to kill it, which is at best regrettable. meeting's not good for you.
mircea_popescu: i prefer
to encounter
the bipedal kind instead. more fun, and good for all around.
mircea_popescu: problem with wild felines is
that meeting is neither good for you nor for
them.
mircea_popescu: nothing like
tiger,
that actively stalks villages /
takes babies.
mircea_popescu: anyway, shooting a
toucan / cougar / etc seems pretty retarded. and nfi why you'd come all
the way over here for fawn when you can just go
to midwest like sane people.
mircea_popescu: eh, notice
the pieces are like 1 a year. notice also
the "judge releases" etc.
mircea_popescu: not much game, lotta protected animals, it's not really a hutning spot.
there's some, but nowhere near what you're prolly used
to.
mod6: much in
the way of geese or ducks for game?
mod6: it seems insane
to me
to go anywhere guns are not readily available. london, for instance.
mod6: well
thats sweet
then.
mod6: is it hard
to get firearms in cr?
mircea_popescu: besides, it provides an excellent incentive not
to overgrease, which is added value just by itself.
mircea_popescu: mod6 he has no idea ; it's not expensive considering what
the actual cost per round is. add in all
the capital costs, including
the fact you're wasting your
time
there rather
than diddling
the local highschool girls' volleyball
team...
☟︎ mod6: i gotta get some of
that.
mod6: true enough mircea_popescu. if you don't properly shoulder
the weapon, can have funny effects.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah and not like it's expensive. a case of "i'm buying
the 25 cent a gallon item because i never heard of
the 35 cent a galon"
mircea_popescu: of course, problems compound. dubious oil, kinda dirty ammo, not holding gun properly during fire, well... it can
take 2 not 3 how about
that.
mod6: one day it was -8 Deg. F. and we were out
there, i had
two
times where cycle was slow. but cleaned shotgun after, never had same problem after
that.
mircea_popescu: they probably do ; you can
tell eg cold gun, slide barely moves forward, when it should slap right in. it's prolly crappy oil if
the gun is clena.
mod6: i
think most of
these guys use
that remoil stuff. i'll have
to check into
that.
mircea_popescu: no, really,
the russkis have it. special winter lubricant.
mod6: it gets below say, 15 deg F. and bolt starts
to resist from
the gummy oil
mod6: i did see a lot of guys have failure
to cycle/extract with
their semi-auto .12gas during
the hunting season.
mod6: aught
to be practiced probably, because in field,
that could be a killer.
mod6: i hate having
to unjam a double feed on a hot rifle. anyone ever done
that before?
mircea_popescu: part of
the problem is
that "jam" describes about as usefully a bevy of conditions as "sick"
mod6: ive never seen
that from
the heat, only after barrel is uber hot from multiple mag-dumps
mod6: what,
they cook-off rounds?
mircea_popescu: anyway, not "one
true reason", by any means. most idiots overgrease
them, calamite jam.
mircea_popescu: mine was from hating having
to clean jammed firearms, but anyways
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: unfortunately not. Am here because I finally have a nice setup where I won't get kicked regularly. While I have been reading some FFA and DC I do not have anything running at
the moment

trinque: bahaha, yes, you can
time your control-c *just so*
that you get only headers
mod6: i did like
the coffee in .ar. but im used
to
the engine-degreasing shit.
mircea_popescu: argentina ? not even! not
that it's bad, but
the standard coffee bar is made of gold-iridium alloyfor reason
mircea_popescu: must drink a cup in costa rica (or colombia, for
that matter) first,
to qualify.
mircea_popescu: i am willing
to sign and attest
that all you noobs have no fucking idea what coffee even is.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: exact same
thing you or anyone else get from it. Focus, awake, music sounds real nice suddenly interested in life
mircea_popescu: god forbid alf
tries anal, ends up unable
to enjoy a blowjob.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: yes and yes. coffee still works fine
too. no cross
tolerence with meth
gabriel_laddel: Inventory arrived from CA a few days ago and am rebuilding M. mircea_popescu well you certainly know how
to get my attention..
mircea_popescu: sorry gabriel_laddel i was just kidding about
the coca
tea. sent some
to other people.
a111: Logged on 2018-01-06 23:02 asciilifeform: libffa (
the actual arithmetism ) is cumulatively ~1900 loc, (80col!11) inclusive of whitespace , banners, and commentolade ; ffacalc apparatus another ~900, ditto.
mircea_popescu: but you're not saying "w/e, ima implement x when gettign around
to it"
mircea_popescu: i get it, you're lazy, nothing wrong with it.
the lazy implementation approach is even defensible politically.
mircea_popescu: most submarines do in fact have gills ; and way more is spent for
their painting
than on say car's.
mircea_popescu: "i don't see why
this fish should have colors, bleach it" is not much bioengineering.
mircea_popescu: more apt would be
to say it's
the "yeah... aha... yeah" humming while someone's
telling you how
they crashed
the car.
mircea_popescu: you understand keepalive is often issued by
THE SILENT PARTY, while LISTENING ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform imo
this is a misstatement of what it does.
