mircea_popescu: maybe ; though all the bones and shit....
BingoBoingo: Hey, people just want to be shitty
mircea_popescu: the problem with a dead idiot is that it converts upon dying from a large piece of excrement into a large piece of actual excrement.
mircea_popescu: something the "planning experts" germans never throught of.
mircea_popescu: the majority of the expense goes to making the corpse "Safe", sterilizing it.
mircea_popescu: the killing itself is a minor part of the problem. coupla cents budgeted at most.
shinohai: iirc Muslims prescribed lashing body buried at sea between two wooden planks, so that it might float ashore and be buried by fellow Muslim facing Mecca.
asciilifeform: speaking of them barges
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's an ecological consideration. cheaper than burning etc.
mircea_popescu: yes, depth pressure will keep the plastic from popping ; but not from floating.
mircea_popescu: anyway. let it be plainly stated that current idiot's expectation they'll be shot is about as ridiculous as 1940s jews'. who the fuck can be bothered.
BingoBoingo: Anyways, to make up for outgassing without floating, you'd just have to sink the bags deeper... if you really wanted to ☟︎
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: if they simply float back, not much point in the boat, eh. may as well then stack'em as pyramid, like chingis khan
mircea_popescu: normally. but this is exceptional time.
asciilifeform: it goes in the gut, where most of the gas generation.
shinohai: (Though doesn't have to be Single-Screw steamship)
shinohai: Post on reddit "Free cruise on the S.S. TMSR! For details go to #trilema on freenode!"
mircea_popescu: might well work yeah. stick in knee automatically at time of packaging.
asciilifeform: pop yes , but they float 2-3 wks in
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform not these. see, they only pop in 6 to 36 months when they're well outgassed.
asciilifeform: carcasses have annoying habit of sailing back to shore
mircea_popescu: will replenish the cod off cape cod something fantastic, too!
mircea_popescu: well what, you're not taking them on a fucking cruise. coupla hundred knots offshore.
asciilifeform: tho i suppose it depends where in the sea, from where
mircea_popescu: few thousand bux per million.
mircea_popescu: naaah. transport is cheap.
asciilifeform: betcha decomposition in bauxite processor ( bzzzt -- pfff ) costs fewer joules than transport to sea.
mircea_popescu: can even have hello kitty or kek flag or whatever the fuck warhol can paint the dreamers require.
mircea_popescu: this method allows perfectly dehumanizing death, safe transportation, slow release, it's the proper continuation of lime pit.
mircea_popescu: redditard already buried more than his ass is worth in resources.
mircea_popescu: and a coupla kgs of plastic WAY cheaper than 10kg chain + 50kg brick
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't want to feed the fishes too much at a time.
mircea_popescu: there's more tolerance built into the pack you know, than into the skin
asciilifeform: at any rate i have nfi why the bag. brick, chain. feed the fishes.
asciilifeform: ( anyone seen old films of elephant carcass rotting in the sun ? eventually explodes, spectacularly )
mircea_popescu: can be made to, certainly.
asciilifeform: bottle takes 2-3 atm
shinohai: One could produce the plastic from corn, reducing costs perhaps and ensuring biodegradability.
mircea_popescu: eh, what's the rush.
mircea_popescu: and with that... problem solved.
mircea_popescu: sea dumping in plastic wrapping ensures they dissolve over time, sort-of like a slow release pill for the ocean.
mircea_popescu: build vacupack units, keep them fed with biomaterial (plastic, schmucks), dump the results at sea. a 100tdw ship should be able to carry 1mn of the shitheads at a time. ☟︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-06#1733223 << incidentally it occurs to me shinohai 's link is the definitive solution to the concentration camp problem. vacupacking the entire us population would probably cost < 1bn in materials. ☝︎

BingoBoingo: One of the great shames is that now, when I plan on leaving th coop, the pretty girls seem to finally be sobering up
BingoBoingo: Excellent use of the oil
BingoBoingo: Well, he failed at knowing to register when it was suggested to him
cruciform: yea, couldn't find him in the WoT
BingoBoingo: Failed at the "Keep coming back" part
cruciform: I was reading Paul Sztorc's blog (truthcoin.info), surpised at his level of insight. Made sense once I got to one of many trilema references
BingoBoingo: In Trilema re-readings http://trilema.com/2013/this-country-is-so-weird/
BingoBoingo: In other lols, NYC just damned themselves to another DeBlasio term
BingoBoingo: Srsly, thankfully she likes making money more than being friends with the rest of the Brittneychain
mircea_popescu: "she has only to speak up and agree with us!!11"

mircea_popescu: amusingly, this is oddly reminescent of the whole http://btcbase.org/log/2015-09-02#1259369 ☝︎
BingoBoingo: Only the cuntcovers industry does!
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo ahahaha what the fuck, anyone even supports the "inclusive" pantsuit aggenda ?
BingoBoingo: With the Harveywood scandal, pantsuit can't afford to not have all the entertainers in line.
BingoBoingo: And the motivation: ""Taylor's political silence appeared to be a rejection of her peers' support of the inclusive Democrat platform," Herning wrote. "Taylor's silence is not innocent, it is calculated. And if that is not true, she needs to state her beliefs out loud for the world... in America 2017, silence in the face of injustice means support for the oppressor.""
BingoBoingo: "Taylor's lyrics in "Look What You Made Me Do" seem to play to the same subtle, quiet white support of a racial hierarchy. Many on the alt-right see the song as part of a "re-awakening," in line with Trump's rise. At one point in the accompanying music video, Taylor lords over an army of models from a podium, akin to what Hitler had in Nazi Germany. The similarities are uncanny and unsettling."
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> stationary gens have quite large radiator. << That internal resistance is a bitch
BingoBoingo: <hanbot> BingoBoingo what lyrics might those be, 'we shall overcum'? << Nah shit like "Look what you made me do" and the word "Rise", which apparently blond white folks aren't allowed to use

My colleagues took part in broadcasts in Warsaw and other cities. Rooftop transmitters had low range. And they were easy for the security services to locate. We had to think of something else.

asciilifeform: in related lulz, http://oldschgarage.blogspot.com/2014/11/old-fram-fridge-project.html << same fram ! i had no idea that it was an adiabatic cycle thing ☟︎
mircea_popescu: (entirely possible the ro commies read the book and never heard of nansen, but anyway)
mircea_popescu: actually managed the 2nd, iirc.
asciilifeform: i thought it sounded familiar , aha
mircea_popescu: (nansen was a grandiosely misfortunate norwegian that eminently didn't get to the north pole TWICE, nearly died each time)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: re 'fram, ursul polar' -- the ancient ЗИЛ-like fridge in 'museum of communist konsoomer' is a 'fram' ☟︎

mircea_popescu: has fan. also, with the modern items... oil temp sits put at optimal throughout. well overcooled.
a111: Logged on 2017-11-07 23:16 mircea_popescu: and most of the weight of the 30kg generator that needs a fuckming crane to move comfortably is the fucking engine, which guess what, i already have.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i realized one potential headache re http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-07#1733798 : normally when your merc is grunting out its 160kw, it is ~in motion~ , and air moves through radiator ☝︎
hanbot: BingoBoingo what lyrics might those be, 'we shall overcum'?
BingoBoingo: In other noise from the orclands, ACLU and Taylor Swift are now fighting over pop music lyrics. In the evaluating who has more lawyer bucks stage atm.
asciilifeform: ('ultrawideband' people demoed some quite impressive items, e.g. a 500 picowatt thing that was picked up 200km away, etc )
asciilifeform: so imho it isn't necessarily the case that your station even has to give a shit re atmosphere.
asciilifeform: at any rate, i conjecture that if you smear the signal over entire sw band, day/night dun matter so much.
asciilifeform: on top of this station can see whether it gets answered or not.
mircea_popescu: will also answer this.
asciilifeform: biggest q is 'where is the daylight in the path'
mircea_popescu: you're just trying to answer basic q "sunspot y/n mega storm y/n"
mircea_popescu: basically a sort of DDR stick on the ground.
asciilifeform: it is however moar complicated, there are mechanics of day/night ( various layers, which reflect different bands , appear and disappear with the daylight ) and season.
mircea_popescu: ok, still measurable. have a km of cable coiled in between plastic foils, buried superficially, there's your mega array.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-08#1733890 << somewhat counter-intuitively, best conditions are the times with ~most~ interference ( i.e. ionosphere propagation most favourable, so you get the rubbish from 10000km away ) ☝︎

mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-07#1733697 << to begin with, they're calling a few hundred people "a manifestation". ro press entirely divorced with any sort of recognizable reality for many years now. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: or did they give up on the pretense meanwhile
