asciilifeform: entirely possib. osman empire was in full bore 'apres moi le deluge' mode , then
mp_en_viaje: (the kardashian-like armenian is relatively recent phenomenon, much like the orc egyptians)
mp_en_viaje: yes, but in the period this ended up == armenian.
asciilifeform: for some reason i thought the primo slavegurlz were the circassians tho
mp_en_viaje: anyway. it's a theory.
mp_en_viaje: so they burned it all down.
asciilifeform: makes as much sense as the other theories .
mp_en_viaje: asciilifeform, a la historically recurrent "hey mr architect that's a great building. could you make a better one ?" "maybe" "hang him"
mp_en_viaje: enough of this "thirteen generations ago lived the prettiest aysha, but now an even hotter one was born"
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: why would they want to nail the harem gurlz?
mp_en_viaje: much like demented shepherd might one day decide to EAT the herd, so that he's the last in the line to have eaten mutton. "fuck all the rest of ya"
mp_en_viaje: i have nfi re that either, but it seems to me the driver there was this : some guys (not ONLY turks, various arabs) decided that the only way to one-up history is to END the supply of armenian harem slavegirls.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the textbook example at one pt was the armenians
mp_en_viaje: yes. but historically the folks running the ovens don;t tend to be the brightest. compare with the rwandan genocide actual ambulatory butchers, aslo beleived all sorta beleifs.
BingoBoingo: Insular group fucking over members of the outgroup tends to draw aggro and ovens if done indiscriminately
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: the folx runnin' the ovens, if their depositions are to be believed, believed, tho.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-30 11:35:35 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-30#1939138 << the key to the puzzler aint much of a seekrit. goebbels put it in plain text. j00z were picked as 'instigators of the war' and meat grinder ramped up in direct proportion to the obviousness of germany starting to lose. the chronology fits.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-30#1939222 << yes, well, you'll pardon me if i do not necessarily believe the man.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-29 19:32:13 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'barrett' . (btw moar hits for ~this~ barrett than for the other barrett in ~all searchtrons, lol)
asciilifeform: e.g. that 'barrett'.
asciilifeform: heavy-calibre rifles otoh to this day tend to be bolt-operated.
asciilifeform: possibly tradition / marketing
mp_en_viaje: i recall there were excellent reasons they didn;t do that, but i don;t now recall what.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: imho could have saved much weight / complexity in 'eagle' if it were bolt-operated. but tbf i never yet had to 'invert this matrix'
mp_en_viaje: and for THOSE people the solution is dufflebagfull of handguns, pick and choose.
mp_en_viaje: anyway. short of outright maniacs a la http://trilema.com/2015/strategy-for-the-antisocial-struggle/ there's no known uses for "empty magazines through DE"
asciilifeform: iirc it needed 2 metres to get to specced speed aha
mp_en_viaje: nobody cares it can punch holes in concrete 100m away if it can't punch through leaf 3 cm from muzzle
snsabot: Logged on 2016-07-17 14:05:28 asciilifeform: for the record, the only direction with real promise in small arms field is 'gyrojet', where the rifled and tempered barrel is unnecessary, given a self-rotating projectile, small and quite easily-made rocket
asciilifeform: oh hey loox like had thrd on item.
mp_en_viaje: nah. the french had them too, kept trying to use them. they're fucking ridiculous, can CATCH the damn "rocket" in hand / parasol before it gets far enough to accelerate enough.
asciilifeform: while we're 'but what are you doing with that 20,000×20,000 double-precision floating point matrix you say you need to invert _today_'(tm)(r) -- i still wonder why that reagan-era rocket pistol thing never took off. seems just about idea from this pov.
asciilifeform: i gotta bake a part2 to that thing
mp_en_viaje: very much a https://www.xach.com/naggum/articles/3233532779857997@naggum.net.html type issue (which quote, incidentally, i notice is not on your http://www.loper-os.org/?p=165 ?)
mp_en_viaje: you never use that thing like the "critics" use it. yes, sure, it fouls lots at the range.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: cant resist to ask : when you shot the 'eagle', what kinda loads didja use ? according to the nitpicky critics, it gets fouled quickly unless fed fmj
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: '90s ru type flamethrower. the traditional kind wastes buncha fuel in flight .
BingoBoingo: Well, wound channel is king. Only really gotta have enough energy to break rather than follow shoulderblade of male members of target species.
mp_en_viaje: compactness, reliability, wear and tear minimization, bullet thumbling, all sorta this things
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: very often folx dun give a damn re energy -- e.g. snub-nose revolver, or 'saw off', or traditional ru обрез , where compactness is king
asciilifeform: ( only w/ neutrons, can take xray-like photo of barrel, bullet, and powder and have'em all show contrast in same photo )
BingoBoingo: It's been a while since I dove into it, but iirc longer barrel also pushes towards pickiness about matching rifling twist to bullet weight
asciilifeform: showed even compression waves in the powder as it went off
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: there was a spiffy neutronographic (!) film study in '80s su to try an' determine ideal barrel. sadly cannot atm find on net
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-30 11:28:29 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-30#1939158 << instead of arguing the point, i'ma invite mp_en_viaje to take cheap chronograph and compare 2 barrel lengths in same caliber. ( where flash is white, gas is still pushing . is part of why folx even bother with long barrels. )
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-30#1939214 << actually, longer barrel exists chiefly for accuracy, not per se for speed afaik. the tradeoffs are friction/tear driven losses on one hand vs bullet stablization on other hand. speed/eenergy per se doesn't actualoly figure as such because very easy to fix / maximize / not even desired as max generally
mp_en_viaje: o look at that, diana_coman needs a princess dresstrain now with all them pages!
ossabot: Logged on 2018-05-17 11:37:22 mircea_popescu: kinda why we need someone in china, to dissolve exactly this sort of "only seems to be offered in china and in container-sized min order" situation ; which arises for very good reasons to do with industrialization, and is eminently solvable -- but not by the red skins, nor from inside the reservation.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-30 07:56:16 diana_coman: afaik the need someone in China is still entirely unaddressed, is it? apparently thimbronion has newly established e-mail contact with someone living in China so maybe worth pursuing it with this goal in mind.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-30#1939164 << well, i do meet the occasional cute japanese girl ; but yes.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-27 23:24:27 asciilifeform: this rev also knows how to echo lines of form : http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/1938795#1938795 , if we decide to go there in 'reader' re 'url problem' .
asciilifeform: 1 possible pill is to make all log refs follow this form. but, ugly.
asciilifeform: which requires a perma-solution to 'url problem'
asciilifeform: imho the most direly gaping hole is the support needed for importing era1 l0gz
asciilifeform: logotron is at the frustrating stage where the 'easy pieces' are in, and what remains is the gnarlier
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-29 11:06:56 asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-29#1938845 << ty mp_en_viaje , found culprit: a built-in idjicy in the pythonism that asciilifeform used to implement doublequotes. i'ma have to rewrite that mechanism.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: will snip out the other broken knob also (it needs rewrite from 0)
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'ma cut the stump out in next patch.
diana_coman: that much is true but this is not going to solve it; the raw log thing is fine and yes, on a per chan basis, one has to request from their own "latest index" to as much as it takes to end up with "nothing"
asciilifeform: atm syncing 6 chans with bare hands is a 1st class bitch tho.
diana_coman: I don't quite think it's the right approach even, tbh
asciilifeform: and presently can't think of how could be made to work as intended. possibly sync will have to remain per-chan.
asciilifeform: diana_coman: observe that the example tape you linked , contains only #t, cuz indices are per-chan and no other chan has advanced to anywhere near 1937934
asciilifeform: but now thinking it cannot be done cleanly and prolly oughta cut it out in next patch
asciilifeform: diana_coman: notion was, to make 1shot 'all chans' sync possible
diana_coman: asciilifeform: I don't quite get what problem are you trying to solve with this tape knob?
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-28 14:13:23 asciilifeform: 'tape' knob i realized is unusable shortly after cut patch, it needs to be rewritten so as to give 'last N' , rather than using start/end index from the earlier raw-log knob
diana_coman: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-28#1938834 - I've just pressed the latest vpatch and tested this, comparing to the log-raw, eg. http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/tape?istart=1937934&iend=1937941 vs http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log-raw/trilema?istart=1937934&iend=1937941
BingoBoingo: mod6: Anyways, I recommend some cathartic blogtime to help organize the things inside the headvault
mod6: asciilifeform: I may have to find a time to go and check it out, ya. Not sure quite when, but yeah, will start thinking in earnest about it.
BingoBoingo: Until the rains arrived today, people had been getting beach time in.
BingoBoingo: brb, stocking up on meat before the downpour resumes
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Indeed springtime here. Switch flipped exactly on calendar day this year
mod6: Not much to even blog about at this point. I basically just showed up, handed in my laptop & sec badge. "I don't work here any more. kthxbye."
asciilifeform: mod6: maybe visit BingoBoingostan. springtime there.
mod6: I've been running around last week or so, getting things in order. It's been kinda wild.
mod6: Overall though, big step in the right direction.
mod6: Now, I've got some money for now, so I'm going to be able to take at least the rest of the year off. Beyond that, I'm still working on the details a bit; may do some per-diem consulting as I need to or what not.
lobbes: asciilifeform: yeah, many truckers also 'mortgage' said truck
snsabot: Logged on 2017-06-12 19:16:29 asciilifeform: ^ 'altalena affair' resulted in the switcheroo where the upstanding folx ( irgun et al, who held the position 'rm -rf britain' , were replaced by the internationalkomyooniti obedient muppet circus who ended up 'recognized' by said komyooniti as 'israel'
asciilifeform: ( the trouble with 'seize money', is that most usaschwitz inmates have ~none )
asciilifeform: lobbes: speaking moar of 'seize money straight from passing trucks' than 'speed ticket' but sure.
snsabot: Logged on 2017-06-12 19:21:52 BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> ^ 'altalena affair' resulted in the switcheroo where the upstanding folx ( irgun et al, who held the position 'rm -rf britain' , were replaced by the internationalkomyooniti obedient muppet circus who ended up 'recognized' by said komyooniti as 'israel' << Aka. When da jooz jew'd the Jay-double-Oh-Oh-Zee
asciilifeform: thrd re 'exact moment' for those interested .
ericbot: Logged on 2019-09-30 16:37:29 asciilifeform: small-town precincts already run on this model, but currently (afaik) as department, rather than per-man
lobbes: http://logs.ericbenevides.com/log/trilema/2019-09-30#1939263 << aha, I recall the various small-town departments operating the highwayman model here in usgistan. Common tactic is for said towns along a major rural highway to drop the speed limit a few miles outside of town by about 40 mph, and post officer at the line.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-30 04:02:51 mp_en_viaje: c) the jews themselves are, obviously, as inconceivably stupid as always, i won't belabour the point of these morons, who finally got to make themselves a country and made it red-tape sovok socialism atop turkish legal system ffs.
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-30#1939133 << the often-overlooked 'seekrit' is that 30-40% of these were exiles from sovok proper. and re-created it in miniature.
asciilifeform: small-town precincts already run on this model, but currently (afaik) as department, rather than per-man
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i expect at some pt police in usa will move to 'india' model, where fella is given a name tag and paid a coupla rupee / mo., and the rest he is expected to make up from bakshish and straight highway robbery
asciilifeform: ( recall what was done to j. stack, wai he went flyin' )
BingoBoingo: Charge em a fee to get their permit, count them as employed forever more without any particular follow up
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: is how asciilifeform was counted. and the other coolies. ~doubles the tax rate, and removes 'unemploy insurance' & other expenses for usg.
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile in an ongoing trend in local news, primary risk factor for getting mugged is swiftly becoming employment as police officer https://www.montevideo.com.uy/Noticias/Un-delincuente-murio-y-un-policia-fue-herido-en-intento-de-rapina-uc731278
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: they do! and, interestingly, army bases (already in early 2000s when asciilifeform worked inside 1) guarded ~100% by equiv. of mall cops, rather than uniformed folx (for whom they'd have to 'medical & dental'(tm)) , cheaper.
BingoBoingo: Seems cheaper to just count the parking extortionists as employed
BingoBoingo: Well standard setup seems to be 1 marksman, 1 autorifleman, maybe a mortarman, rest of squad on m-16 or other specialist support tole
asciilifeform pictures a fyootoor us army where 4 of 5 men in platoon can be gimps, and 'designated walksman' is the only 1 who's req'd to have working legs
BingoBoingo: "designated marksman" iirc is the term of art they use for the setup.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in sovok, recruits also ceremonially 'taught to aim'. given traditional 3 rounds / yr . ~same result.
