Chillum: mircea_popescu: if it can be anodized then bronze would be a great way to go
Chillum: aluminum insulates itself from corrosion once it gets a thin layer
Chillum: I have been looking into laser cutters. I have seen this aluminum with a black anodized layer. The laser can blast off the black layer to give strong contrasting metal images. I am thinking it may be a good way to make very long term(decades) bitcoin wallets
trinque: instead of saying look kid, you've got a penis
trinque: I think I'd have to not consider my body to be "me" to be able to cut off a finger..

nubbins`: he tracks his dad down, they argue, dad pushes him out a 7th floor window, paralyzing him
mircea_popescu: actually, i now recall there was this ancient... czech maybe ? film, about a stamp collector
nubbins`: dad needs a kidney.
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
mircea_popescu: wife gave him a kidney (they matched), he cleanned up his act
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i knew of a guy who was a total slob, ended up giving himself renal failure.
nubbins`: but at least he has a bifurcated penis for his troubles now
nubbins`: he ended up getting divorced in the end, which was a bit of a kick in his absent nuts
mircea_popescu: imagine you just found out how to neglect noise in a noisy room
nubbins`: knew a guy who went by the name "mal" who was in the process of letting his wife cut his dick off
mircea_popescu: so... you know, picking something way down off the list of either doesn't make much of a connection
asciilifeform: trinque: oddly enough i knew such a person, and it was very much not a 'performance act' considering that it was done in secret and only evident long after by the scars
trinque: I knew someone who was a "cutter"
mircea_popescu: there's a large overlap between idiotic sjw types, fair going lice-in-hair types, gender-and-social-role-issues types and perceived-scandalous-stuff types.
nubbins`: asciilifeform unsurprisingly there's a massive overlap between "body mod" world and bdsm
nubbins`: since when is deranged a negative!
asciilifeform: i can easily picture them feeling it as a 'long no-safeword scene' or somesuch
BingoBoingo: bitspill: DKIM used to be a popular spamzor turd at first, guarenteed to hit yahoo accounts
nubbins`: decimation if it ends up a problem down the road, people have it done as adults all the time
decimation: a turd sandwich sounds delicious to someone about the starve to death
danielpbarron: i wasn't suggesting coinbase gpg sign all outgoing email, as such a thing would be pointless if automated, and impossible if not
ben_vulpes: nubbins`: if you need "a thing" to achieve it, you'll soon want another "thing"
nubbins`: mircea_popescu for someone who has to cut off a finger to achieve it... it probably is ☟︎
nubbins`: <+ben_vulpes> trinque: i had a subcutaneous piercing across the back of my neck << hah no wai
nubbins`: that said, there are plenty of people who cut off a fingertip, tattoo their face, cut their nuts off, w/e... and then just go on to lead a normal, happy life
ben_vulpes: trinque: i had a subcutaneous piercing across the back of my neck
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

asciilifeform: decimation: if lacking both hands - you'd become a human 'soil compactor'
nubbins`: a!
asciilifeform: (prisoners at one point would mutilate own hands, feet, to be excused from work for a spell)
decimation: maybe a subreddit discussing why "i don't negotiate because reasons"
decimation: sure why not make a subreddit where sick fucks can egg each other on
trinque: seems like humans will a) accept any category they've heard about a certain number of times and b) compete with each other as examples of that category
asciilifeform: nubbins`: iirc from shrink literature, proper ampuphetishists grow 'alienated' from their hand/foot/cock, coming to believe that it was a foreign object sewn on to them by martian abductors or somesuch.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> wai wat is a 'babetop' ? << Tits???

BingoBoingo always been sold on not using fix a flat without first person experience.
BingoBoingo: decimation: "a while" is not a very precise measurement
asciilifeform used this type of product many times, had tires repaired, never noticed this effect - at one point even drove for entire year on such a tire.
nubbins`: "sorry, we didn't realize this obvious mental illness had a name"
nubbins`: "Update: Some of you have suggested that Morris might have body dysmorphic disorder. If that's the case, we hope she finds a professional who can guide her away from excessive plastic surgeries and toward self-acceptance."
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The fix a flat adheres to the wheel's metal. Also tends to deploy unevenly. wheels in the best case need scraped after use, in worst case become malformed
trinque: also if you're a tranny it makes for great womanly curves
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: So you don't have a "dining fly" style tarp rig in your trunk?
trinque: later... "BingoBoingo | bitch my whole car is a fire extinguisher"
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> (for non-u.s. folks - a product consisting of an aerosol tin with a hose and a pull ring. hose attaches to flat tire, pull ring, contents - a sort of rubbery foam - released into tire in lieu of air) << Also pretty much guarentees you need a new wheel after use
ben_vulpes: yeah that's a demerit
asciilifeform: (for non-u.s. folks - a product consisting of an aerosol tin with a hose and a pull ring. hose attaches to flat tire, pull ring, contents - a sort of rubbery foam - released into tire in lieu of air)
trinque: asciilifeform: with a name like that how could you not inject into your arse?
asciilifeform: l0l, 'fix a flat' !
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: I did. Not a fan of footnotes above the read more link, looks confusing on the front page.
nubbins`: a silk road for "medicine"
assbot: Could we make a "silk road for medicine", where users can buy not only medicine, but medical advice? Tipping for feedback. : Bitcoin ... ( http://bit.ly/1anI1ga )

ben_vulpes: hey i did a shoot like that once!
nubbins`: srs tho, been making cereal for about a month now. top yum
nubbins`: "have a scratch, then bake it; natch"
trinque: punkman: it's a blob with dunno what inside
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: ilkka is/was a finnish chap
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.
mircea_popescu: "do a proper whorish thing instead."
mircea_popescu: decimation no, it's more like "why would a pretty girl like you go do this whorish stupid thing ?"
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: not books have been nominated in the category, let’s say it’s not an original work) but a collection of right-wing chain emails and one liners–which, among other works
mircea_popescu: The ballot looks ridiculous. John C. Wright has three nominations in the novella category and six overall, a record. The vast majority of the works are published by Castalia House, a Finnish micropublisher barely a year old and owned, I’m sure coincidentally, by Vox Day. Wisdom From My Internet, nominated in the Best Related Work category, is neither science fiction, nor, strictly speaking, a book, (Edit: many things
asciilifeform: get to earn approx. what a clerk earns, while doing this.
asciilifeform: a select few - who were able to con someone into printing, and a somewhat larger set of others (friends, family, sex partners) into buying,
asciilifeform: the remaining authors are largely 'wannebees' who wank themselves to sleep every night wishing for a 'minimum wage' income from their drivel;
mircea_popescu: ".And to an author of integrity, it’s a pointless act of bullying, because if you don’t compete against the best, an award is meaningless."
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.
ben_vulpes: trinque: thanks man. there's a lot of rebel foundation stuff in there i need published again.
ben_vulpes: boss your penchant for recasting everything as a result of your own actions is endlessly amusing
mircea_popescu: 1. Only a third of children can read in English
mircea_popescu: But in the spirit of thumbing one’s nose at government overreach, here’s a sampling of unofficial, but highly reputable statistics about Tanzania that might explain what’s going on.
ben_vulpes: feels like a lifetime!
assbot: Logged on 22-10-2014 15:45:04; othernubs`: http://cascadianhacker.com/blog/2014/10/20_a-summary-of-changes-to-bitcoin-since-0321.html#fnr.20 << thanks for this write up, this would def. need to be patched in. <<< agreed, great writeup, altho evidence seems to point to 0.6.3 being the right choice
decimation: of course reddit doesn't even need to pay employees, what with having a vast reservoir of people who would gladly pay to work there
