mircea_popescu: girls are much better
than boys, fatter ass, more inclined
to sit. brave new sitworld.
mircea_popescu: the red
thread being,
that
they JUST ARE. didn't jhave
to do anything for it.
mircea_popescu: and with
that... you've kinda locked yourself out of life.
mircea_popescu: the MOST you might be
trusted with would perhaps be something like a de-pdf-ing bot, which you don't want
to do because you (wrongly) imagine it's beyond your level.
mircea_popescu: so no, you won't be given any
tasks of responsibility. certainly no "spending of billions" and other nonsense ion
terms of "% of world gdp"
mircea_popescu: the fact
that you don't know how
to sort
the list of problems DISQUALIFIES you from discussing
the matter. and matters in general. children are
to be seen not heard, is
the idea, and yes you lot are mentally about 9yo.
kanzure: i don't
think lungs are currently compatible with
that idea. is it beyond understanding
that such a scheme would require different components?
mircea_popescu: you're a bunch of idiots with nary a clue as
to how anything works ; and what's worse, utterly unaware of
this. "hurr durr what if we fed people
through lungs" "oh noes,
the food might explode".
THAT is not
the
top of
the list of problems.
mircea_popescu: this is commonly known as
the
thousand eyes of flies found on meat left out
to rot in
the sun. ie, open source community.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 18:29 kanzure: eh, i
think it would be
tested before using it re: climate change.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 18:25 kanzure: what is
the specific complaint about a star shade other
than narcissism?
mircea_popescu: one
thing costa rica certainly is :
the world capital of biodiversidad.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform
to illustrate
the "10`001" species, did i ever recount
the
time my
toilet was clogged... by an aligator ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i don't live with
the situation because im lazy.
mircea_popescu: for one
thing,
the pumps aren't going out,
they'll be here no matter what. water dun climb 1k feet out of fellowship.
mircea_popescu: did anyone desing for
this ? who,
the water lizzards ?
mircea_popescu: oh and as a bonus : obviously
the more complicated
to be replaced is also
the one
that should be :
the litteler pump in
the heating system.
mircea_popescu: but in practice... you end up with
two of
these on partial circuits, and now i need a fluid flow phd
to
take a shower.
mircea_popescu: this is
the best example of unintentional bad complexity ever.
mircea_popescu: because of
this complicated arrangement, i can experiment with histerezis in my shower!
mircea_popescu: and
the shower has a pair of buttons : if you increase
the hot water debit,
this drops pressure for
the hot pump, which kicks in, dropping pressure for
the main pump, which kicks in. and vice-versa.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: now,
the main pump is obviously pressure graded : if pressure drops it kicks into higher gear.
the heating system has its own pump. which, of course, ALSO presure graded.
mircea_popescu: so, i don't have a reservoir here. i could build one, but i don't want
to, because it'd be
too small (there's a minimum size of reservoir, because
the algae ie "taste" is a function of surface approx, whereas volume obv matter of volume ; if your
tank is not big enough it'll be flavoured.)
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 18:02 asciilifeform: forty
tonnes of jet fuel per diem for al gore and
tim cook,
trinque , and low-pressure showerheads and mealsquares for you an' i.
BingoBoingo: Also
the irony
that
the only "strong employee unions" represent "public" employees against
the public
mircea_popescu: shocking how simple measures never occur, "coincidentally". really, it .. wouldn't be practical
to mandate anyone on
the public budget stop using fossils ? awww.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo how about just stocking one fucking whip, and beating
the stupid daughter
to
the point she cant fucking speak next she comes up with "But i LOVE HIM!!! daddy" nonsense.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Lol, still day may come where Rural King begins stocking anti-orbital umbrella rockets next
to gopher gassers
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 17:58 ben_vulpes: "how about stop confusing ought for is in your
tiny little head?"
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706369 << how about focusing on your own fucking problems! clean up
that pizza wrapper! cook for fucking once. go out and walk
that misfortunate dog of yours. instead of pretending
to "solve"
the problems of distant others for
the
transparent reason
that you can avoid having
to confront not having done ANYTHING in a whole decade
this way.

trinque: kanzure: fucking hell, a star shade.
the narcissism out of folks like you will flow over any wall but extinction, wont it.
BingoBoingo: <kanzure> re: "right
to farm", sunshade can be
tiny, can be big, can be over ocean or whatever, all sorts of magic. << Per
tradition and actual law anything
that interferes with farming be it a coyote, hippy vandal, or orbital umbrella is subject
to correction by
the farmer.
mircea_popescu: it's unclear whether
this means very ass or
three asses, but in any case, let no one ever call me an asshole. i'm evidently a
triasshole.
mircea_popescu: in other news, locally sourced undershirts of my most serene majesty are very fine cotton, but also
Tres Asses brand.
mircea_popescu: hey, did i mention
the artificial
technology future implants ?
BingoBoingo: <kanzure> no
that doesn't work so well; private space ventures would
then also be world government instruments. << If private space company aggresses my
tomatoes with sunshade,
that is a
tort and an aggression.
Traditionally remedy for unwanted shading is chainsaw
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's really in
the vein of "artificial implants and future intelligence will bla bla" sorta argument. one step removed from d&d.
mircea_popescu: actually putting it in would certainly be a violation of
the nonmilitarization of space convention.
mircea_popescu: kanzure it's empty wankery of
the sort a certain kind of us-born, esl drone (aka, castrato) engages in.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 17:19 asciilifeform: 'we'll butcher'em all amidst laughter and merriment -- except for a few we'll
take home
to experiment...' (tm)(r)(tomlehrer)
kanzure: re: "right
to farm", sunshade can be
tiny, can be big, can be over ocean or whatever, all sorts of magic.
kanzure: yeah i
tried offering her money for copies of all ~50
TB but nope
mircea_popescu: "oh,
the blue usg has come up with some orc
that'll do
their dirty work of
trying
to steal publicly funded research from
the rest of
the usg"
a111: Logged on 2017-08-30 15:53 asciilifeform: 13:08 < kanzure> she wants
to control
the access in her own way
BingoBoingo: <kanzure> if we're going
to
talk about cowardly conversation
tactics how about "omg you're going
to nuke us because you're planning
to deploy a sun shade" <<
This falls under "Right
to farm" Sunshade does a concrete economic harm, is an act of war
BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> running joke is
that girl is so miserable it better be 2nd and 3rd for all
the damn
trouble << Congrats on your impending 5th
☟︎ BingoBoingo: <ben_vulpes> hubris of ameliorating "global warming" is pretty cute, right up
there with
terraforming mars. << Eh,
the right weeds would prolly do most of
the
terraforming
themselves. Probably won't make much more habitable, but still more earthlike
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> nuclear ablation for countries full of uppity californirasts, fortunately, just as practical. <<
Time
the explosions, maybe get a couple micrometers further from sun for bonus cooling
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> whatever happened
to
telegram or w/e it was
the one
they did buy ? << Whatsapp, still bringing SMS
to pinoys everywhere
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu>
totally. what
the fuck is kik anyway,
the irrelevant nonservice
that facebook didn't buy for a
trillion ? << Porno messenger promoted
through craigslist spam
kanzure: seems
that you
think i am here for "true domination". you said so just a moment ago..
kanzure: what value would it be
to dominate a bunch of aimless folx?
