mircea_popescu: "sex with safewords" is sex exactly in the sense the guy playing king richard in a theatrical production is king richard, the historical personage. "sex with safewords" is at best a brat's wet dream, and in general prostitution, in the vein of the pedicurist or hospital nurse's job - but in no case has anything to do with sex, nor can it occur among sane adults.
mircea_popescu: f occurring between a submissive and a dominant partner.
mircea_popescu: the problem with safewords isn't that they're in-band to any degree. the problem with safewords is that they pretend to recast s/M relationships into a circus approximation. the submissive partner may not pretend to option as to when, or as to how the dominant partner extracts his pleasure out of his hide ; nor may (ipso facto inept) third parties purport to misrepresent any sexual relationship in terms other than stuf
mircea_popescu: if it weren't for the pesky armed insurection, iraq would be "cleanning up corruption" as we speak.
mircea_popescu: purging of the middle level. next in line comes the "sensitivity" bs.
mircea_popescu: it's how the shit played out in the us ; and the scheme is systematically repeated in every colony of the reich hence.
mircea_popescu: anyway. by and large, the "cleanning out corruption" narrative is what happens to a colonized place, ie, after the top leadership was defeated.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, this derp must be new, i have never heard of him.
mircea_popescu: wasn't this incident specifically. just, buying off rural/urban poor votes with refined sunflower oil / sugar / bla bla has been going on for decade plus.
mircea_popescu: trinque> thx to mod6 for the highs lows patch, using lows is helping deedbot- keep track of his dust << win.
mircea_popescu: jurov careful with the mw unit also. some of those - 10kv!
mircea_popescu: (think about it - do you recall your ONLY complaint to date re dcs ? do you ? hm ?)
mircea_popescu: eh get out ; if he has a tv set he has 2kv or some shit in the house already.
mircea_popescu: such is the power of artizanship in this day of industrial decay.
mircea_popescu: eh, he CAN make a better series arrangement than what the brick does. for srs.
mircea_popescu: nothing prevents you from spending the 35 bucks for a roll of 100 caps.
mircea_popescu: much more than analog apparatus of a century ago, that's for damn sure.
mircea_popescu: by now the bricks are so shitty, and tolerance so easy, it's surprising what "digital apparatus" takes in terms of abuse.
mircea_popescu: get a customizable power bridge, link pogo, see how much it'll take before it falls over.
mircea_popescu: "hey, it's not done like that since the 50s! the 50s sucked!"
mircea_popescu: and the same EXACT arguments you use could be used to persuade me (or at least a dumber version) to use java instead of tinyscheme.
mircea_popescu: and from that same angle, the value of tmsr engineer is g(value of burned pogos)
mircea_popescu: a) i've on many occasions said, "this is stupid but will be instructive, proceed" ; b) you think this is about production, which it isn't, it's educational.
mircea_popescu: phf thinking about it, i think the switch has a lot to do with their delusional notion that they're somehow now in power.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> what's easier than soldering a plug into a pre-prepped landing pad ? << ANYTHING that doesn't involve "pre-prepped". what's easier than marrying this girl your mommy splayed out on the bed for you ???
mircea_popescu: which, incidentally, is EXACTLY what they are. the fashion world of ugly chicks and insecure betas.
mircea_popescu: they stand for exactly nothing ; one generation switch can change any major tenet.
mircea_popescu: phf that change, incidentally, makes me completely discount the euro "left" movement.
mircea_popescu: shut up, if we end up back in 1890 you'll be thankful for dpb.
mircea_popescu: anyway. powering a bunch of pogos in the discussed way is neither terribly difficult nor terribly risky. it does require some reading, of course. and it does deviate from "how things are done", which is a major asset.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i will remind you i am the one who plans to buy the ancient collection of chinese miniature emperors on rice beads
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform let the man burn pogos. i will not change man to protect pogos. wtf.
mircea_popescu: phf methinks you may be alone in that interpretation. i for instance don't do the whole "accept as fairitale" thing.
mircea_popescu: this brave new libertard world that "holds people as the greatest value", i am so sick of it!
mircea_popescu: i'm going to power 100x 12 v transformers because wut, "i can't make things - gotta use chinese made!!1"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform would you stop getting in the way of people doing things omigerd.
mircea_popescu: if one in 100 shorts you get a 1% increase, which they don't care anyway.
mircea_popescu: 320V DC out of wall socket is a electronics 101 project ever since the times of hte b&w photo clubs.
mircea_popescu: (by a high voltage rectifier thingee i mean that iirc pogos draw 4.5 V dc. a > kv rectifier diode is twenty bucks or something, you can make yourself an item you plug into the wall and it feeds 100 pogos arranged in series out of maybe a hundy.)
mircea_popescu: if it can run an obscure wp blog, it certainly can run a bnc or whatever other such thing. much better security model than "i pay 20 dollars to dc hosted blabla-freedom.net"
mircea_popescu: and since you have the wot at your disposal most of the costs involved in low end hosting (ie, keeping the scum out) you're insulated from.
mircea_popescu: people would prolly be willing to pay a few dollars /mo to rent an ACTUAL physical box, which means you can take a few hundred in exchange for a not-unreasonable upfront expenditure.
mircea_popescu: see if your isp is willing to give you a c block / upgrade your connection. buy a coupla bridges of 32 or 64, make a high voltage rectifier thingee, and power a bunch of boxes
mircea_popescu: see if you manage to apply alf's thing and if it runs well. if it does, a next step you can take is :
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron you know, it occurs to me your idea to run a webserver on pogo may actually be very valuable.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron you know i think comments are somehow broken ? i push teh button, nothing happens.
mircea_popescu: this because 2 bits = 2^2 = 4. had the shift been 17 bits, then you'd get to do 2^17 = 131072 old style hashings for each new style digest you calculate.
