asciilifeform: it is retarded

asciilifeform: everything i've so far experienced with openbsd suggests that

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo ?

asciilifeform: openbsd won't run linux elf, like netbsd ?

asciilifeform: but we ~might~ be the first people who won't tolerate pestilential #ifdefs OR duplicate trees for it

asciilifeform: who still speak of.. work

asciilifeform: what kind of crackpot revolutionaries are these

asciilifeform: worker? work?

asciilifeform: i remember reading as a kid, about some south american dictator who gave his phriendz such a thing, and being horrified

asciilifeform: or why not demand bottomless bank account ?

asciilifeform: 2B!

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: you laugh, but THAT was how we got xyz-studies in the '70s usa

asciilifeform: jurov: i think this would violate his monastic oath or at least give him indigestion

asciilifeform: if i had an account, i'd buy it off him !

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: iirc you were there

asciilifeform: l0l l00ks like jurov found a buyer

asciilifeform: !s for piglet

asciilifeform: bbbut what if spinnin' round & round, 'fooor piglet'

asciilifeform: it had a clockwork gadget that fired 3s

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: they removed the 3-round burst thing that was put in instead of auto in the '90s

asciilifeform: it was traditionally select b/w single and auto

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: m16 was never 'only'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: full auto is for suppressive fire, just needs to go in the general direction of the enemy, nein ?

asciilifeform: even localized

asciilifeform: actually it suggests usg confidence that it will ~never~ suffer shortages of ammo

asciilifeform: it is worse than that mercedes that brakes by itself.

asciilifeform: ^

asciilifeform: so nice to have industrial soldering iron at last, heats up in maybe 5sec

asciilifeform just finished transplanting the switch under 'printscreen' to under spacebar

asciilifeform: ogress.

asciilifeform: one wonders, why not 'the next twenty-five thousand years'

asciilifeform: mats: nah

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: you will have to unearth the thing yourself

asciilifeform entirely snowed in, finally

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: museum weapon

asciilifeform: ah

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: reading the log i posted as his rating was not enough ?

asciilifeform: how do you lay suppressive fire with semi ? ww1 volley style ?

asciilifeform: punkman: never seen a blog gone to seed before ?

asciilifeform: i found it a puzzling thing, esp. given as nato world uses professional soldiers rather than orcish conscripts, the latter presumably cannot be trained to let go of the trigger

asciilifeform: mats: i was asking about the 3-round limit

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: http://toolmonger.com/2012/09/14/more-sawstop-bs << randomly picked summary

asciilifeform: mats: suppressive fire would be an argument for ordinary full auto, nein ?

asciilifeform: mats: was there ever a real rationale for the 3-round burst thing at all ? ☟︎

asciilifeform: and when the whole industry, predictably, tried to push back, 'oh noez they WANT your fingers chopped!1111'

asciilifeform: short story, the shits tried to make their PATENTED thing MANDATORY

asciilifeform: hm

asciilifeform: !s sawstop

asciilifeform: so tell me what makes this app necessary

asciilifeform: take photos with the cruddy webcam in the machine ?

asciilifeform: wtf does it even do

asciilifeform: nor the new ?

asciilifeform: perhaps because i did not use the old sack'o'garbage ?

asciilifeform: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=23-01-2016#1383171 << i did not notice this ☝︎

asciilifeform: thestringpuller: there are upscale white folk in dc now

asciilifeform: ^ in godforsaken piece of shit street

asciilifeform: from billboard on other side of my commute: 'new townhomes in low 600s !'

asciilifeform: 'how the world works!111' (tm)

asciilifeform: (it isn't as if they were of any serious amplitude, or even fluctuated in any particular phase to salaries, interest rates, or other relevant number)

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: the fluctuations come nowhere near making an actual palpable difference to anybody, ever.

asciilifeform: rounding error.

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: so at what point in this supposed cycle can i walk in and buy a livable HOUSE for 20k?

asciilifeform: http://koin.com/2016/01/23/we-the-people-petition-white-house-to-arrest-bundy << linked from same rag. по просьбам трудящихся !111111 (tm) (r)

asciilifeform: because if it caves in, the whole thing caves

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: that price floor is made of unobtainium and is going nowhere

asciilifeform: so this is worse.

asciilifeform: except in jail they feed you and you (in most of usa) don't have to work

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: jail

asciilifeform: inventory of what?

asciilifeform: l0l tokyo

asciilifeform: !s communal

asciilifeform: we have gigantic towers of these very same things here, and more being built as we speak

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it was prolly intended for 2+ humanoids who don't fuck

asciilifeform: phun phakt, my father's childhood was in a flat where the toilet ~literally~ was in the kitchen, behind a curtain.

asciilifeform: ew

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: a hundy buys you a pf-capable box with 3 GB eth jacks

asciilifeform: until hard.

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: like aluminum ?

asciilifeform: work-hardens ?

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: i thought it was traditionally 'cunt with the rifling worn off'

asciilifeform: auto is not so much less work

asciilifeform: horse is not permitted here except when used by police ☟︎

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: depends on locale

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not once.

asciilifeform: i would happily commute on horse.

asciilifeform: if bicyclist is permitted on a public street, so should horse !

asciilifeform: does pedal man know how much fuel is wasted by the mile-long column stuck behind him ?

asciilifeform: as a driver, i always despised the self-righteous pedaller who was convinced that he 'saved mother earth'

asciilifeform: ^^^

asciilifeform: thestringpuller: i've nothing against it per se but it is firmly linked in my head with the third world

asciilifeform: trains in d.c. are interesting in that they carry folks from hobo to gs-15

asciilifeform: aha like here

asciilifeform: most folks rode trams, trolleys, a few buses.

asciilifeform: but nobody but children on bicycle ☟︎

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: aaaactually my home town had very few cars

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: many folks use editors that automatically insert the doubleifdef-preventer thing

asciilifeform: (do any of them commute by riksha ?)

asciilifeform: or vietnam

asciilifeform: i can only picture a sordid 1890s shanghai
