mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suspect
the logical conclusion would be
to say old men revert into dysfunctional womanhood.
mircea_popescu: now,
the generals are similar : for
the benefit of "oh, it's directly readable"
they lose out on
the all-important, paramount consideration, "but not by
the enemmy"
mircea_popescu: on fails
to overshadow
the fact
that individually speaking if you're going
to sink nine months of blood +
three of fat into
the project, you
totally fucking want
the very very best available.
mircea_popescu: to explain ourselves :
the coy behaviour is defined as
the spurious pretense of sexual disinterest put forth by a universally-interested machine ; and it is counterproductive because while it does in fact increase (somewhat)
the success with above-average value partners, it entirely ruins any perpsective of success with
the highest value partners.
that
this may (arguable, and i doubt it) sum
to positive over a larege populati
mircea_popescu: i have nfi why or wherefore, it's about as counterintuitive as
the coy behaviour in females.
mircea_popescu: somehow crypto discipline is impossible for military staffs. except for
the okw, everyone has
trouble with it, be
the soviets
talking
to sub base or
the ustards
talking
totheir "socialites" or w/e
they call
the
tired old bags.
mircea_popescu: would matter a lot more if
the us actually used crypto.
mircea_popescu: noyhing better
than a door protected by 8 flawed locks.

the density kind is an anti-model for rocketry. on
the contrary, large, wide edge process like
the z80s much better fit for space usage.
mircea_popescu: they've no balls cuz
they've no penis and vice versa, and ultimately because no
testosterone so every bit of soy sauce
they pick up from environment makes
the
titties sag a little hurtlier.
mircea_popescu: so
the balls and
the penis are related ? i
thought so!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so let me get
this straight : you
think beta loves his cock cage because "no balls", and NOT because "small cock" ?
these are somehow different ?
mircea_popescu will use
this henceforth
to distinguish
the item from europe.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
they ARE looking for weaknesses.
there's a reason usg lost south china sea.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, it occurs
to me, euroZONE is
the perfect word for it, isn't it ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
the chinese have
teh manpower
to do it, if organized.
mircea_popescu: performance of
the density kind is an anti-model for rocketry. on
the contrary, large, wide edge process like

☟︎ mircea_popescu: ~only reason
the saudis even bought
the crap in
the first place.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-08 14:18 mircea_popescu: " The Saudis will not be able
to link
the S-400 with Saudis current (US and Europe-sourced) infrastructure, nor will
they be able
to connect
the S-400 with US systems." << says who
the everloving fuck.
mircea_popescu: strangely
there seem
to be some extant records where he himself
thinks
the same!
mircea_popescu: communist consumer might have not been
the end-all be-all, i find myself sometimes suspecting.
ben_vulpes: "i don't know much, but i paid attention in materials and machine design while everyone else was browsing facebook and copying homework out of
the solution guide"
mircea_popescu: no dude, "having gone
to school"
tech as opposed
to "i heard on youtube"
tech
ben_vulpes: or maybe just maybe have a care for
the final product and
take minimal steps
to minimize pre-cooking out of volatiles
mircea_popescu: in retrospect seems a lot like not having a knife, "cutting bread on
this veg peeler is so hard"
ben_vulpes: but what, give up, sacrifice all efficiency because
there's always more gas down
the road?
mircea_popescu: but it is possible
to use a cone plane instead of a 1dimensional blade
ben_vulpes: not really possible
to exist without producing waste heat either
ben_vulpes: also burr grinder does not cook
the coffee while grinding it, ever notice how
the bladed model leaves
the grounds...warm?
mircea_popescu: he has a point, i hadn't
thought of
that. exactly like pepper mill, have
two cones in each other, adjustable distance.
ben_vulpes: why, when
the burr grinder is an excellent solution
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually "short" snake is flexible enough
to go
through
toilet water
trap deliberately for
this reason.
ben_vulpes: also, blade pulverizes, burr shears. better extraction with
the latter method.
ben_vulpes: ah well yeah, especially
the bladed models are going
to produce lots of high velocity particles
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform:
the burrs are steel in mine
mircea_popescu: not
the kind
that
turn dishes green, i'd have imagined ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform drain does 100m drop over a mile, calculate
the force a column of water puts upon it, obtain higher value
than kitchen garbage disposal unit applies
mircea_popescu: the
tub has no drain an' erryone looks pretty drained.
shinohai: asciilifeform: perfect for
that bourgeois blend
mircea_popescu: takes a lot of effort
to reproduce
today
the kitchen of 1880 middle class polish housewife.
mircea_popescu: the sadness of "modern
technology" is
that it fails miserably at
things
that aren't
THAT
technologically advanced.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform didn't
think of it. actually, had 0 expectation i'd end up with a dissolved-and-recombined surface of
the inside of
the
thing, from smooth
to matte.
shinohai: Yeah, 0 plastic parts. Had
the
thing like 5 years now
mircea_popescu: so wait, i got really good clovges and ima put
them into a "make-them-like-the-walmart-ones"
tool ?
mircea_popescu: yes, but general solution for
this (salt) not usable. and i don't eat enough sugar for
that alternative + i don't eat
the white hygroscopic kind
mircea_popescu: needs fine powder and
too juicy
to grind well in mortar so give it a shot.
mircea_popescu: reason i even know "cuisinart" is
that
they used
to make metal
tools. except stopped.
