nubbins`: besides, i definitely do not want to snort weightlifting supplements
nubbins`: i like things way too much to justify trying it
mircea_popescu: i guess i will annoy everyone if i say i'm not particularly fond of coke ?
mircea_popescu: such as i dunno, a bush an enemy pissed on sometime this week
asciilifeform: i caught myself wondering if it was designed in 'ms paint'
mircea_popescu: punkman: I thought the principle was to trigger immune response against cocaine molecule, not reward centre <<< you don't understand how immune works! you can only target particular proteins, which coke is not.
asciilifeform: when i worked for (not in, must note) u.s. army, the thing that always got me was the pixellation on their camos
nubbins`: epaulettes too, i guess
asciilifeform: i occasionally dig into vintage u.s. newspapers, magazines. interestingly, army ads from the '50s-'60s dwell on the 'sharp look' of the uniform.
nubbins`: i thought boston was strong
mike_c: be all you can be was before army of one as far as i remember
asciilifeform: iirc the last one i saw was 'be all you can be'
mircea_popescu: it's the New Whiner York that i don't care for.
mircea_popescu: hey, i wouldn't have any problem living with these dudes.
mircea_popescu: the ONLY way i'd have them fighting overseas is if congress approves this plan whereby a) all territory we step on gets granted territory status ; b) soldiers once veteranized are rewarded in homesteads there, and HAVE TO marry local ☟︎
nubbins`: i'm talking about the "you" that doesn't exist, but in this alternate world where you'd be ostensibly an american in charge of american troops
mircea_popescu: no i wouldn't.
mircea_popescu: i think in dota it's "gold" and "experience"
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i meant "resources" as in warcraft2. whatever, vespene gas and the othe rone
mircea_popescu: i'd have them handpicking cotton if it comes to it.
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i'd be running things, not fucking dod.
mircea_popescu: but i think it's the one derived from old warcraft 2, except you get a single hero and no "resources" per se, get wood/gold to level them by killing npcs
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron i just heard of it.
nubbins`: i think it's a video game
nubbins`: wait, no, i see it
mircea_popescu: i don't believe it's a bad idea. if shiva tasked me with fixing west, it's one of the first things i'd do.
nubbins`: i think it's two years tho
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> cuz you liked teh woman, foo. << i see this coming
nubbins`: i'm not sure what romania was like in the late 70s but i feel like the average age of post-secondary graduation directly correlates to how soft things are in that place
nubbins`: "i'm doing __ for my gap year"
nubbins`: "i'm taking a year to find myself"
nubbins`: this TLP blog is fun to read but i feel like reading it makes me feel like i understand things better than i actually do
mircea_popescu: "i am a white male" orly.

BingoBoingo: <mats> 5:44:43 <+punkman> asciilifeform: ditto for the opiate 'vaccine' << from what I've read on the internets, suboxone is not such a bad thing << Suboxone is not vaccine, merely partial agonist, does not trigger immune response
mats: 5:44:43 <+punkman> asciilifeform: ditto for the opiate 'vaccine' << from what I've read on the internets, suboxone is not such a bad thing <<
cazalla: i wish we could get good seafood here, a lot of it is shipped in from interstate or worse
punkman: asciilifeform: picture autoimmune destruction of the reward centres << I thought the principle was to trigger immune response against cocaine molecule, not reward centre
cazalla: punkman, i've had the left front tooth done about 10 years back, that one has lasted, right one around the same time but it got chipped months back, bit pissed off this one has chipped so early but i gnaw bones and shit too so who knows
punkman: BingoBoingo: cazalla: Once you need fillings in "working locations" the choices are metallic and durable or "natural" and the dentist's annuity << better dentist also helps. I have a couple front teeth chips with the "natural" fillings, never had to replace.
punkman: unbalanced: I can reduce the data cleaning chore << punkman occasionally does data-cleaning/dedupe/linkage/acquisition work for hire
punkman: unbalanced: Did I see a bitbet.py somewhere in the past month or so? That sounded neat. << you can find my bitbet calculator/tracker here https://bitbucket.org/abfg/bitbet.py
punkman: asciilifeform: ditto for the opiate 'vaccine' << from what I've read on the internets, suboxone is not such a bad thing
ben_vulpes: on the face of it (and granted, i'm tired and slow), it seems this license would only ever prevent folks from using anything so licensed.
ben_vulpes: while i'm up and it's quiet, what is the point of this new 'license' of yours?
ben_vulpes: i see, i see.
mircea_popescu: i don't give a shit some dude shutters his business
ben_vulpes: i am simply low on brain and reading comprehension this evening.
ben_vulpes: well i can't find it.
ben_vulpes: recently, i might add.
mircea_popescu: i'm only showing alf, he's got the ip on iot.
mircea_popescu: the fucking shrem defense. "i'm not an asshole, i just had to behave like one. but my real me is still intact! i'm a narcissist, my actions don't describe me!"
mircea_popescu: "all the other guys were fucking her, I had to rape her a little too!!1 "
ben_vulpes: ahaha and then ruby ecosystem just falls over en masse without libreadline6-dev on the machine. no warnings at compile or until i go to actually run this hellspawn rails app
cazalla: i'd claim shoddy work but the crown this guy did, never had an issue
cazalla: i don't wanna live in a world where i have to bling up my front teeth just to eat a peach without chipping a tooth
cazalla: BingoBoingo, that'd still look like i had bling done
asciilifeform: i bet it costs less to have all the shareholders shot in the head
cazalla: not my screencap but i still see it
BingoBoingo: cazalla: Yeah, I saw boring google, bot lulzfest you screencapped
cazalla: ah maybe i am getting cached ver, someone elses ss http://i.imgur.com/wMScgY6.png
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Exactly. I'm just now discovering the power of the delete key and like a toddler want to use it on everything.
asciilifeform: what other applications I could improve for my own use by deleting << kernels
BingoBoingo: I'm thinking "Midori" web browser might be a next candidate
BingoBoingo: Building bitcoin-qt through an exercise that largely involved deleting makes me wonder what other applications I could improve for my own use by deleting code
asciilifeform: but happens to include all the ones i could find here
BingoBoingo: I mean... Borked SATA drivers???
ben_vulpes: can i say something dramatic yet?
ben_vulpes: okay i lost a weekend to ruby dependency hell
assbot: Should I dox myself for $3? : Buttcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/18fsqic )
BingoBoingo: Megalol >> https://www.reddit.com/r/Buttcoin/comments/2ws5jn/should_i_dox_myself_for_3/
unbalanced: Did I see a bitbet.py somewhere in the past month or so? That sounded neat.
ben_vulpes: damned if i can remember it.
unbalanced: Heh. For data coding I think I'd have to limit use to trusted/trained users... hence my child labor crack.
asciilifeform: ok i have no idea about others, but all of -mine- were bots, lol
unbalanced: Yes, I remember when Amazon came out with theirs, I read that story...
asciilifeform: that is, most if not all of the jobs, last i checked, pertained to spam
unbalanced: I will be sure to leave branded empties near schoolyards like the Gallo salesment.
unbalanced: Bingo, I get Bartles & Jaymes confused with the two cranberry farmers standing out in the marsh in their hip-waders
unbalanced: I can reduce the data cleaning chore via buzzword compliance: gamification, cryptocurrency, micropayments... child labor... addictive push notifications, the whole nine yeards.
unbalanced: mircea_popescu: yeah, there doesn't seem to be anything there... I was hoping for an API to hook into but my needs are custom enough I'll likely have to roll my own UI anyway.
unbalanced: But the question is, how do people driving by know I lurk here?
unbalanced: Ohhhh that's why I get called asshat all the time.
unbalanced: Like captcha's I'd need a human decision for the choices my code couldn't make... and would need to run each one by say 5 people then take the "wisdom of the crowds" consensus answer.
unbalanced: cazalla, thanks -- I was pondering a similar idea about how to divvy-up boring micro data-cleaning work by pipelining it to many users and doing micro-payments.
mircea_popescu: cazalla no hysteria, but i get very disinclined to listen to what excuses anyone may have.
cazalla: unbalanced, i don't believe so, exchanged a few emails with the guy who built that but unsure if he ever came here
danielpbarron: i went a few days without sleep and began to hallucinate
unbalanced: I saw bitwork.io in an early qntra.net article... is the maker from around here, an #asset-erian?
cazalla: mircea_popescu, sleep deprived hysteria? had this after the first week with baby, i have never laughed so hard and all i assume as a result from total lack of sleep
mircea_popescu: i think the pathology results from not actually respecting that.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the thing is, when i don't actually sleep i revert to these 4 hour cycles with about an hourish of downtime, and im fine.
unbalanced: BingoBoingo, I imagine anyone wandering through this channel must end up on a no-fly list within a week. I mean, if there's a Persistence Division, there must be an #Assets Assembly.
mircea_popescu: if i ever get one i'll report.
mircea_popescu: actually i so very much doubt that has to be fatal...
asciilifeform: but i can see some pediwikian fuhrer going 'we shall now censor faces'
mircea_popescu: i even have this captured in trilema amber
asciilifeform: i saw it many times
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform "hi baby i'm a producer". " i made an os"
danielpbarron: i chatted with someone the other day who claimed to be using a "custom OS" / when pressed further he admitted it was ubuntu with some features disabled
