mircea_popescu: actually, i now recall there was this ancient... czech maybe ? film, about a stamp collector
trinque: I think a pathological way to do so, but maybe there was something there other than just the narcissism, though that factored in
trinque: asciilifeform: hm, maybe I didn't describe the situation I know of fully. she mentioned that it cleared her head a couple times
nubbins`: hm, you ever watch Lost? i guess not
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i knew of a guy who was a total slob, ended up giving himself renal failure.
asciilifeform: i know of at least five cases of craftsmen who built and used, on selves, guillotines.
nubbins`: good, 'cause i didn't get that impression
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i am not proposing you're no good here.
nubbins`: i've met some extremely complicated people over the years
asciilifeform: i can even imagine cargo-cult masochists

mircea_popescu: i know it can't be.
danielpbarron: i wasn't suggesting coinbase gpg sign all outgoing email, as such a thing would be pointless if automated, and impossible if not
trinque: I'm still staring at this guy's severed finger

bitstein: BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: http://qntra.net/2015/04/coinbase-outgoing-email-hacked/ << Pierre_Rochard and I have been trying to tell Coinbase they should be using PGP for a while now. https://community.coinbase.com/t/pgp-signed-encrypted-e-mails/470 Adrian from Coinbase (presumably the same one as linked to in the article) said: "Do you think that simply signing messages sent from Coinbase with PGP would add any additional security over
trinque: ben_vulpes: yeah I had pierced ears
ben_vulpes: i actually *let my piercings close up*
mircea_popescu: i'd really like to get with the program here and think "hey, more power to em", but the vast majority of the self improvers are just deranged.
ben_vulpes: i was hoping for cocklets.
decimation: ". I remember as my second testicle was being clipped from the body, it was an expierence I won’t forget! The feeling of YES it is finally done! I remember it all like yesterday. Months after, and I’m talking 3-4 months of not taking testosterone shots or anything, I started getting hot flashes."

decimation: maybe a subreddit discussing why "i don't negotiate because reasons"
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes i do, but it's nothing liek that.
trinque: not like I've never felt pain, but I don't see the point in losing parts
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i imagine the system his wife is using
nubbins`: i actually read a handful of stories from self-amputees over the years
decimation: I don't get how one gets from "want to cut" to "imma cut my fukin' fingertip off'
asciilifeform: i assume 'self-amputated' means something other than machine-shop
asciilifeform: i am now wondering if you folks have halon or what in there.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i and everybody else have it in my car, in the box in the back where the fire extinguisher etc. is kept << Wait your fire extinguisher isn't under the seat?
asciilifeform: i and everybody else have it in my car, in the box in the back where the fire extinguisher etc. is kept
danielpbarron: aight i'll keep that in mind for future articles
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: I did. Not a fan of footnotes above the read more link, looks confusing on the front page.
nubbins`: i can only imagine the horrors behind that statement. agreed.
danielpbarron: BingoBoingo, did you intend to move the first footnote? I meant for it to go with the sentence about where Coinbase's response came from.
nubbins`: "Hi, I'm an attorney. I want to describe what I consider to be inherent problems with this."

ben_vulpes: surely i'm not that drunk yet i thought we were talking of ilka
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: in the case of the woman linked earlier, my understanding is that she is largely funded by husband - a swell chap, from ru, of approximately my age, whom i also met once.
decimation: I was thinking in the sense that 'why should I buy from your dumbass amway when I already have a guy for that'
mircea_popescu: <nubbins`> <+ben_vulpes> boss your penchant for recasting everything as a result of your own actions is endlessly amusing <<< i came for the btc, stayed for the lels << hey, if obama can save the economy...
mircea_popescu: i suppose one needs the particular idiocies of the us for the particular forms of the us idiocy to manifest.
decimation: I bet cultures that are largely 'peer to peer' are immune to 'multi-level marketing'
nubbins`: <+ben_vulpes> boss your penchant for recasting everything as a result of your own actions is endlessly amusing <<< i came for the btc, stayed for the lels
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: you might be thinking of academics. the folks i was speaking of, don't get grantola.
asciilifeform: female as far as i could determine
mircea_popescu: i guess THATs lost.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: for extra plus lulz: i met this person in real life once.
mircea_popescu: W is, I hope you’re enjoying your new computer. It stands for Social Justice Warrior, which to a normal person sounds like someone who fights for justice and cares about all human beings, and to conservatives like the devil himself. The implication that they then must support injustice seems to be lost.

asciilifeform: decimation: l0l! i somehow missed that the mountain had been mothballed
ben_vulpes: thirty seconds later, "you know, i'm not the sort of guy to insist on a full foot-down stop from bikers at every stop sign. but DUDE! you came through that intersection at easily over 20 mph!"
ben_vulpes: i accidentally a stop sign at oh 30 mph on my bike the other day, right in front of a copper.
decimation: asciilifeform: actually I would posit that the us mostly has a 'Gendarmerie'
ben_vulpes: <mats> http://i.imgur.com/O5rYZZS.gifv << wahaha
asciilifeform: i barbarously screwed mine shut with the wires in.
TomServo: http://i.imgur.com/otRbvlr.jpg < my excited photo after learning it worked.
asciilifeform: (i do not know of any simple means to 'netcat' these. they come out of ttyS0, as the gods intended.)
TomServo: I was surprised I got it working.
TomServo: heh, I guess? Seems like an awful way to learn soldering, I'll say that.

BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I've no seen any reason other than "pissing contest"
