mircea_popescu: i suppose you just favour peculiar brands of necrophillia
mircea_popescu: ^ in lulzy romanian drama, local "intellectual" wipes his blog within minutes of trilema article.
mircea_popescu: in other lolz, blondy in train, puts her samsonite up, sits down, next movement of the train the thing falls on her head.
mircea_popescu: in any case, i recall seeing in here reported the last 3 items there. and 4tyh. and 5th. can't be ~half now can it.
mircea_popescu: somewhat disappointingly, if i grep the phuctored page for "ambroz" i discover the latest discovery is printed mid page. the rss page rescues the very recent - latest few items - but does nothing for the rest.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, no, the specific scam in question is that ~lists~ are copyrightable no matter their components, and these cocksuckers are trying to make LISTS of ancient / public domain / copyright freee items and then perversely claim copyright in them because "it's in our list", which is a bullshit claim but then again the us entirely runs on vapors and bullshit claims.
mircea_popescu: 2009-11-03 1kb key, seems to have been in earnest use at some point back then
mircea_popescu: check it out asciilifeform we've got a whole new bidniss here!
mircea_popescu: whoa nelly that's a first factor! and of a proper exponent (65537(
☟︎ mircea_popescu: it occurs to the harem assembled in congress that there should be such a thing as "whore's dew", and it should be an after shave.
mircea_popescu: doesn't seem to have hurt trilema any, but each his own.
mircea_popescu: you totally need to start running a blog and stop ugc-ing your productions away to the usg.
mircea_popescu: alternatively, you could sell bean stu and converted enema kits.
mircea_popescu: actually keyboard microbellows not so bad an idea! put those heavy duty springs to good use!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> jurov: fuck flow. 100kg of copper hedgehog is the ticket. << with dildo attachments!
mircea_popescu: in other news, the dictator is a shitty pile of forced memes, unfunny as all hell. its only distinction being that the progress is show to benefit some derpy woman whose only qualification is that she's not shavign her armpits (but she's willing to drop that), whereas the only loser is the actual competent engineer ; and that peter norton is cast as yet-another-celebrity whose only utility, value and stock in trade is being u
mircea_popescu: someone needs to take alf to heavy metal concerts back when he's 16
☟︎ mircea_popescu: somehow the realisation that "proposing a subset could exist IS ALREADY PREDICATING you can fix things you can't actually fix, so you're begging the question something massive".
mircea_popescu: gotta love this inept shit, "stupid idea is broken in many ways, most of them unfixable for good reasons - we'll consider here an irrelevant subset, that could be fixed."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform btw, you ever read von mellenthin's study in russian soldierly psychology (and other things) ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (though honestly it - esp the m4 - looked to me more like a hastily copied t-34 than anything)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform ze germanz hated the russian tanks and despised the anglo tanks (sherman included). there IS a difference.
mircea_popescu: "they came up with the idea of having the access hatch block the gun turret!"
mircea_popescu: actually history of british "engineering" of tanks in ww2 is good subject matter for its own chapter in "history of human idiocy".
mircea_popescu: as crude as they were, the russian couple were much better
mircea_popescu: as late as 1944 anglos were not producing usable tanks. the us versions were midly miserable, the british versions were at best laughable.
mircea_popescu: "all we really wanna do is bring matilda back hurr durr"
mircea_popescu: these people came up with the brilliant idea of mounting an autocannon in lieu of a proper cannon on a tank chassis. which is dumb enough ; but... instead of a belt feed, they came with the even briliant-er idea of having it manually loaded, with 3 round clips.
mircea_popescu: myeah. but in other lulz, anyone ever saw the RARDEN (ie, Royal Armament Research and Development blabla) ?
mircea_popescu: for lack of demand, only. opium, the other thing isis has tons of, is.
mircea_popescu: isis have tons, taken in "battle" from cowardly us mercs.
mircea_popescu: same place he gets his super duper special grass pills or w/e ?
mircea_popescu: (notably, all civilised countries consider said he/incendiary round not suitable for anti-personnel applications. except the us, of course, here as everywhere else the epitome of the rogue state.)
mircea_popescu: not even. pretty much all "stable solution" talk reduces to george costanza's "do you realise toilet paper has never changed" talk.
mircea_popescu: or more generally : there is no stable solution in war.
mircea_popescu: still, stuff like the raufoss mk211 is the exact pill for "oh, we're armored". orly ? well done, so the round won't blow clear through you! enjoy zirconium fire in your spleen!
☟︎ mircea_popescu: will even fire out of a fucking m2 browning, possibly the world's most abundant machine gun.
mircea_popescu: there's a reason we like the de. get a decent tungsten/zirconium powder mix, glwa.
mircea_popescu: "proper armour" is like "battleworthy aircraft carrier".
mircea_popescu: well no, swat was mostly the source of bodyes for bags there.
mircea_popescu: check out all the cute black wagons teh police has now. i wonder if there's a minuature collection anywhere for kids to play with.
mircea_popescu: (noteworthy that the schmucks have the audacity to "such sites" "a site" etc. fucking link, bitches.)
mircea_popescu: imagine, usg.mit actually has derpy 20something chicks so fucking insane, they run out to whore for it. FOR IT!
mircea_popescu: shinohai the only weird part being that they'd take a guy's money TO GIVE IT TO THE SCAM!
mircea_popescu: anyway, i've yet to hear one of the "animal rights" derps mention it on its own power.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it seemed to me the sort of obscure-but-very-interesting item that i've by now grown accustomed to the web NOT knowing.
mircea_popescu: yeah. in the process doing what agriculture is all about - improvement by selection.
