asciilifeform: 'German chemicals giant Bayer has confirmed its record-breaking $66bn takeover of GM seeds business Monsanto - a deal that would create the world's biggest seeds and pesticides company.'
asciilifeform: 'Sep 13 xx:xx:xx humanoid kernel: NET: Unregistered protocol family 39' << oh hey hey lbj! turns out somebody is already gossipdating at me from the phyootoor.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is not clear to me from the photo. but i'll take your word for it.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-14#1541531 << these turn up periodically, and i mentioned it here not so as to encourage folks to play 'whack-a-mole' but to illustrate that bitcoin's socket handling sucks donkey balls☝︎
asciilifeform: or maybe not. but not clear that it is a chick.
asciilifeform: (this in re 'The rocket is "named in honor of John Glenn, the first American to orbit Earth," he added.')
asciilifeform: i can't wait for the massive rocket 'new mbwebwebwe', which will be named for the first NIGERIAN to 419 around the earth.
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: there is such a thing as logs
asciilifeform: pistol fired with solenoid is, per my reading, a 5-15 yr offense in usa. (ianal)
asciilifeform: why did they have to cook up a cp trial for him.
asciilifeform: and does anyone find it strange that the dude was not tried for the electrically fired pistol, which is banned as 'convertible to full auto' in usa ?
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hey, can have cannon, just need massive chopper
asciilifeform: i suppose if heemeyer had showed off his killdozer on youtube instead of killdozing immediately when he finished building it, he would have gone to same place as this fool.
asciilifeform: 'Those videos led to an investigation by the FAA. Clinton police told News 8 that the video didn’t seem to break any laws. Those videos did get Haughwout kicked out of Central Connecticut State University. He is suing over that.'
asciilifeform: 31333333337 terrorist even though broke no written law? now explain this comp full of cp.
asciilifeform: 'Police say 19-year-old Austin Haughwout never broke the law by putting weapons on drones, but he is in handcuffs now, and it’s all because of what police found on his cellphone. “There were images of children in obscene acts found on his phone,” said Sgt. Jeremiah Dunn, spokesman for the Clinton Police Department.'
asciilifeform: phf: perhaps you were thinking of the dude who shot a neighbour's flying snoopcam ~with~ a shotgun ?
asciilifeform: however a rocket is a considerably simpler device than a recoilless rifle, with the vortex tube, and is the correct solution to 'fire from a floating turd'
asciilifeform: (in the 19th c variant, one side actually fired sand)
asciilifeform: phf: that's sorta what a recoilless rifle does.
asciilifeform: it must continuously work to stay in the desired orientation.
asciilifeform: one of the reasons there are no man-sized military quadcopters is that the thing has ~0 INTRINSIC stability
asciilifeform: (american love chopper like no one else)
asciilifeform: euclid had a friend like this also iirc.
asciilifeform: it means 'dude REALLY demands a pneumatic rifle with supersonic bullet, and thinks that his classical education, 400 chick harem, 9000 battleship fleet entitles him to one' approx.
asciilifeform: btw i was hoping for at least a few 'yer full of shit, how about ___' from folks ~other~ than mircea_popescu also.
asciilifeform: i'ma bake a knuth-style recipe and drop it on mircea_popescu's www, but probably not before week is out.
asciilifeform: yes but patient - barfed. i need to know why.
asciilifeform: the part mircea_popescu took issue with was, as i understand, the mapping of 'rng that broadcasts to planet' into 'ip network' (which does not have such a thing as broadcast.)
asciilifeform: i need a 'you're full of shit, explain ___'
asciilifeform: it so happens that i understand it, and am willing to take on whatever 'you're full of shit, explain turbulence' offered.
asciilifeform: synchronicity is incompatible with long-term sanity.
asciilifeform: but imho it is missing a serious negative - synchronicity - this was 100% of my entire argument.
asciilifeform: aha. and so it looks like this is a replay of the iq thread - it is quite impossible to specify 'smart', but trivial to specify stupid; impossible - good fuck, easy to describe a useless one; the list of horrible food is easy to make (start with, say, asphalt) but not so of tasties; etc☟︎
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i notice you got an 'appreciably seal' in there. looks like we'll be needing the instrumented standard cock, and a figure in newton-metres ?
asciilifeform: aha, he ends up most-fucked bloke on the planet.
asciilifeform: robert sheckley even had a hilarious story about a dude who gets conscripted to be the 'standard average fuck'.
asciilifeform: see, if you say 'fuck so strong that it leaves me unable to get up' then you did not actually specify anything, but merely offered the use of your head as a physical test standard,like that kilogram weight in france.
asciilifeform: specify, for my education, 'good fuck'
