decimation: "“Haven’t you ever been abroad?” “Well, obviously: Poland, France, Hungary . . .” “OK, they’re inside the EU.” “And the Soviet Union.” “You got in there without a passport?” I thought about it for a moment. “I cannot recollect anybody having asked me for one,” I replied confidently."
decimation: being carried out in an artificial currency called “euro,” regarded, as one would expect, with a high level of mistrust. I could have told those responsible that this would be the case."
lolballz: and so, i prefer a single malt
lolballz: i don't mind heineken, i like to know what my armpit smells like tommorrow

TheNewDeal: I must stfu and catch up on many a log. May be looking to resell part of a bitbet in the near future (approx 1 week from now). Keep that in mind if it sparks your interest
decimation: heh yeah I'm not a fan of the pope and the authority of the church over scripture
decimation: TheNewDeal: I have no problem with catholics, but what's not obvious from what I pasted is that moldbug is making a point about being submerged in a particular point of view from birth
TheNewDeal: decimation I had a friend convice me quite shortly after being confirmed as a Catholic. Just need to be open-minded. Tough for a large majority of sheeple
TheNewDeal: I jest

mircea_popescu: the life i lead...
assbot: The Notorious B.I.G (Ten Crack Commandments) - YouTube ... ( http://bit.ly/1GrRawh )
mircea_popescu: i don't believe in the prescriptive approach.
danielpbarron: i thought it was that you're jealous of your own things and envious of other people's things
mircea_popescu: i ask because this is a fine example of english being a pigdin, where dictionaries don't define and nothing means anything specific
TheNewDeal: I was thinking jealous should be the superlative
TheNewDeal: an envious lot, I think jealousy goes to far... implies too much work
gribble: I have not seen xemist.
decimation: I doubt there was a blank on the permit form that allowed one to declare one's superiority
mircea_popescu: decimation adding that nonsense to the porcfest nonsense (or was it burning man ?) i'll lol once every house in the us has to have a special bathroom for any visiting cops
TheNewDeal: mp, I've got a talented phocomelus that can man your wizard tower. 5 star techie
mircea_popescu: i guess neartly all locales in the us are fortunate i don't give a shiot about building anything there.
mircea_popescu: ima build a fucking wizard tower on my own land if i feel so inclined, and if anyone doesn't like it ima add cannons to it. ☟︎
phf: i thought in u.s. liberal elite is a keyboard for professorial types with feminist wives, who go to opera and listen to npr
mircea_popescu: i suppose you can count the moon thing, if you wish.
mircea_popescu: i imagine the sentiment is mutual.
mats: I tend to think of the Kochs when 'elite' comes to mind
decimation: mats: people have been coming up with battery tech for ages, with incremental improvement. I hope they can actually produce it
mircea_popescu: if i go up to obama and take a leak on his shoes he's going to say "that's inappropriate" isn't he.
mircea_popescu: i dunno that the us has an elite. merely a perception of such a thing does not cosntitute one.
mircea_popescu: decimation yeah. and the impression i got, from there an' everywhyere lese, is exactlly this : neat execution, uninnovative.
decimation: yeah I linked a teardown awhile ago - http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=20-09-2014#837328 ☝︎
gernika: Incidentally, I had the completely opposite impression that Tesla was catching on - having recently seen Tesla recharging stations at a Holiday Inn in Winnemucca. Seems I should have weighted more heavily the fact that -- no one was using them.
assbot: Logged on 18-07-2015 02:07:12; mats: i'm cheering for tesla to somehow succeed, if musk improves batt tech thats a net win for mankind
mircea_popescu: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=18-07-2015#1205281 << i'm cheering for that anon schmuck working on a perpetuum mobile to succeed too. ☝︎
ben_vulpes: i wonder how pete woulda treated the tesla ☟︎
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=djb | Not Djb or DJB but sometimes d~J~b. Looks better in dresses than I do. ._.
mircea_popescu: i see the monkey angle there, is the thing ;/
decimation: no I meant the rare earths, helium is a problem
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is just so. but i don't think the fella who wrote the linked piece, would agree
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform from what i gather the proposition is that these aren't different.
mircea_popescu: i dont but try find -name bash.profile ?
asciilifeform: ^ actually 9 out of 10 times that i smash some piece of shit from sheer contempt, it is because of chinafication and 'market' penny-shaving, rather than direct usg mandated suck
asciilifeform: package. Doing something like that would show profound disrespect for our betters in the bureaucracies. And if I did suggest something like that, there’s no telling the trouble that it would bring down on my head.'
decimation: I thought the whole point of spam was to force you onto gmail
ben_vulpes: i suspect that fitbit is paying to get through their filter.
decimation: https://plus.google.com/+LinusTorvalds/posts/DiG9qANf5PA "Something you did recently has been an unmitigated disaster. Of the roughly 1000 spam threads I've gone through so far, right now 228 threads were incorrectly marked as spam."
decimation: even vaultputer needs i/o
ben_vulpes: i mean physical security, but sure.
decimation: the last bit I'm not sure about
ben_vulpes: i'm growing fond of mp and alf's attitudes towards workstations.
mats: well, this is thinking small, but i'd like a 'smartphone' that runs longer than 24h
ben_vulpes: and what i ask again is wrong with bullets.
decimation: no there was a 'tesla teardown' I linked here awhile ago
mats: i'm cheering for tesla to somehow succeed, if musk improves batt tech thats a net win for mankind ☟︎
decimation: yeah I suppose they have some kind of heat pump
asciilifeform: i could, just possibly, get to office & back in this machine
ben_vulpes: i'll take the ancient corvette any day.
decimation: it does, for about 100 miles I think
decimation: yeah, they stuff more lithium batteries I guess
mod6: i'll give one a try as soon as it's built and ready to test.
decimation: in this case it was an LC meter I think
decimation: I was reading my ham radio experimenters magazine today
asciilifeform: certain pnohes/tardablets are, i'm told, able to throw a picture to these things
asciilifeform: and also jurov pointed to a possible boojum (though i have seen account of others who did use usb storage with these)
mod6: i like how ascii has the oldest looking deck of cards i've seen.
asciilifeform: <mod6> It drives me nuts, because I can't find a regular old-school (even a plastic one with a normal pour spout) to save my life. Might have to check at garage sales or something. All major stores only carry Soviet Gas can. << this is mega-lulzy because ~actual~ soviet gas cans were 100% metal, on the german pattern
mod6: so now i have to fill up a plastic/glass cup and then throw it in there from a distance.
mod6: i've got a wide mouth USG pos that would light my damn balls on fire in the process.
mod6: what's also obnoxious about it, is now i cant easily pour gas on my fire like a normal person.
trinque: though I never recall having one without a vent at all
mod6: and it is true, i spill much more gas pouring it out of the open mouth without shitsucker nozzle into a funnel with no goddamn breather hole.
mod6: bah, i've lived in one of the hottest places in the world. sure, the cans get bloated a bit. just don't stick your face 1" from the thing when opening the lid. simple.
mats: i bought one, it was 150
trinque: I just got a 500gb SSD in the mail supposedly for amazon
cazalla: a funnel i mean.. spout lol
cazalla: never used an eco can so i can't say, i just use one of these http://i.imgur.com/hcbpjLY.jpg with a spout but when i was doing some chainsaw work, they had these newfangled combi cans and those things are awesome
mod6: i was so mad. the girl didn't want to talk to me for 20 minutes because she said was laughing like i was insane.
mod6: the first one i ever used i snapped the fucker while trying to unlock it...
mod6: this is what i really want: www.hearth.com/talk/attachments/img_0736-jpg.72703/
mod6: maybe i dreamed it
mod6: i feel like i've said all this before in here too, then jurov linked me to something lol.
mod6: ah, you know, just searching for it... looks like i can by a non-retarded gascan online easy enough.
mod6: this is the spout: i.ytimg.com/vi/nytxlA-G1Sk/maxresdefault.jpg
mod6: Oh and did I mention there's no rear breather hole to let the stream pour smoothly?
mod6: It drives me nuts, because I can't find a regular old-school (even a plastic one with a normal pour spout) to save my life. Might have to check at garage sales or something. All major stores only carry Soviet Gas can.
mod6: <+ascii_field> in usa everyone uses either the red plastic bottles, or goes to antique shop and buys nazi 'jerry can' << at some point in the last 6+ years, the USSA standardized the can. Now it seems you can only by 1 standard type of red-plastic gas can. And the f'ing pour spout does not work. It is a worthless pile of shit. It makes you twist and unlock it or some crazy shit. Now, I just throw the spout away, and pour through a funnel fro
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: he was describing, i think, a fantasy
mircea_popescu: i guess im a later adopter than even yegge.
mircea_popescu: williamdunne i c.
mircea_popescu: i think its mostly tin
mircea_popescu: nevermind that i dunno where it's even legal to store gasoline in plastic.
