pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: and ? what does
this prove other
than
that girl playing house knocks on wall of cardboard box before entering ?
pete_dushenski: you
think anyone
takes usg's ip racket seriously anymore ?
this isn't
then 1960s
pete_dushenski: lol gotta love
that bitbet is back... o brother what a gongshow.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i'm more inclined
to liken
the 'new' .il
to
that of 'new' china : sucks up resources of imploding empire for as long as
the going is good all while increasing self-sustainability and military capability. israel might be socialist but
they're nowhere near as soft-bodied as
the decaying west. closer
to .su-.cn hybrid
than .su-.us hybrid.
pete_dushenski: or maybe
translation is a project for otherwise loose cannons (eg. adlai )
shinohai: Good here,
thanks. Up
to my eyebrows in home projects.
pete_dushenski: not
totally sure i buy
the
thesis but i can see where it comes from. at
the very least current-day .co.il has 'chechens'
to actively oppress, unlike us which just beats
the piss out of itself.
a111: Logged on 2017-06-13 14:57 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform very funny
that jew
thing you dug out. literally,
the ENTIRE argument is "hey, let us scam you, because
that's what goverments do, and if
the goyim see us scamming you
they'll believe w r government".
a111: Logged on 2017-06-12 23:16 asciilifeform: ^ 'altalena affair' resulted in
the switcheroo where
the upstanding folx ( irgun et al, who held
the position 'rm -rf britain' , were replaced by
the internationalkomyooniti obedient muppet circus who ended up 'recognized' by said komyooniti as 'israel'
a111: Logged on 2015-09-09 22:08 ascii_field: mircea_popescu: 'hagana' et al set
the gold standard for blowing up brits, aha
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: blackzilla is enjoying
the seasonal weather more
than i'm enjoying
the seasonal smoke. being downwind of
the massive bc fires isn't doing wonders for
the ol' respiratory
tract. (waking up coughing, etc.) . needless
to say i've a newfound appreciation for
the sorry denizens of chinese mega-cities. it's one of
those "you never know what you've got until it's gone" (tm)
things
☟︎ mod6: bitbet is back?
thought
that guy vaporized?
jurov: systemd on boot doing GET requests
there in 3..2..1
jurov: they
took djb's joke seriously
☟︎ mircea_popescu: "html
trier-and-errorer" doesn't have
the same ring
to it.
mircea_popescu: people
today have very litle mental adherence
to
that ancient "nothing's heavier
than earth"
thing. kinda why making chicks mudfight is good for
their brainbox.
mircea_popescu: it was a great accomplishment for a bunch of people who had a very direct experience of
the hardness of soil, worked with hand-made
tools pulled by sick horses and pregnant wives -- and i mean
this literally.
trinque: ah it's your
towards purpose
thing, of course.
mircea_popescu: twasn't, per se, "gotta have... corn! as far as
the eye can see" in any way or in any sense other
than
the 1950s romanians being impressed with
the ro commies "a LINE OF
TRACTORS! 100 deep!!!"
trinque: just make
the HTML coders all grow
their own damn food, keep
them occupied. not as "envirowhiner" but "hands full, own life in
them"
mircea_popescu: trinque
the picture of sad yet resplendent idiocy over
time comes into much better focus if one comes
to
term with
the saddest fact of all : at every juncture and
throughout, everyone really meant well.
trinque: gotta have... corn! as far as
the eye can see
mircea_popescu: "I'm now an HTML coder at a startup in San Francisco.
The “World Wide Web” has enabled me
to crawl out of my debt-hole and bootstrap myself into
the lower middle class. For
the first
time in my adult life, I can afford
to <b>eat</b> in restaurants where I don't<b> work.</b" << if anyone's curious or keeping score,
THIS is what impels all
the dizzy dorks of
today.
their very own VHS
tapes, if you will.
trinque: guess I'm wrong about
the proportions of ddt use re: ag. I have counted mass-production of
The American Dream among
the place's sins.
mircea_popescu: (at
the
time, soviet industry more or less indian industry
today)
mircea_popescu: cheap
to make, pretty much everyone with a chem plant made some. which is how
the soviets ended up using it.
BingoBoingo: US was definitely big user
though, river valleys in Mid west all malarial north
to Chicago until
the chemming
mircea_popescu: anyway. i'll rack
the "us--major player in ddt history" up
there with "apple could buy russia" and all other self-referential wank.
mircea_popescu: but ftr -- first
that banned it was hungary ; and generally
the warsaw pact. not
teh us.
mircea_popescu: trinque ironically, most of what ended up in
the ocean was dumoped
there by us army
trying
to replicate successful european usage.
mircea_popescu: (and ftr,
the usians had been whining about it just about since ww2. rando with a "book" on
the
topic is about as relevant as pink.)
trinque: was being used in agriculture, which I'd wager is where most of
the bulk of what ended up in
the ocean originated
mircea_popescu: ddt is entirely euro item. invented by swiss, used
to clear europe of eg malaria. euros changed
their mind in
the 60s
trinque: the whole
thing is based upon "mass produced idiot should be fed, gonna have
to mass produce whatever 3 crops and feed
them
their derpmeal"
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: And exposed
to oxygen and sunlight
they survive how long? Proximity
to factory would be bigger concern
than proximity
to deployment.
mircea_popescu: o look, wikipedia manages a very uscentric view of
things and items lol. mk.
mircea_popescu: is
the next proposition going
to be "michael moore matters" ?
trinque: should stop
the mass production of food instead : solved.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform afaik
the
thing was, much like "clean engine exhaust", entirely euro-nonsense.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: i'm not convinced
that cumulative ( and yes -- mega-seekrit, it is ) damage
to nervous system from organophosphates, beats ddt << Where do you live
that wealth of organophosphates are still available with indoor labeling? Around here store shelves have Malathion - outdoors, Carbaryl - outdoors, and Dichlorvos - unoccupied enclosed spaces and bagged bedding in war on bedbugs
trinque: one
thing in common is
that nobody involved had any idea what
they were doing
trinque: they're all going in; what's
this "the one
thing
they don't want you
to know about dead fish"
mircea_popescu: and i'm not discussing other items.
the
thesis was
this one, not "this one compared
to arbitrary others"
mircea_popescu: well, we ate
them, we fukushima'd
them, for a while we also ddt'd
them. we still plastic slush
them, it's a large ocean.
BingoBoingo: Mosquitoes are outdoor problem so you get
to use BTi, which as complex protein is harmless unless immune system is bored and decides
to bake an allergy
mod6: i suppose
the only non-toxic way
to get rid of
the nearby mosquitoes is
to buy up all
the surrounding properties and
then
take a flame
thrower
to
the lawns.
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i'd much rather eat it,
than anything sold nao << Any more
the only
things labeled for indoor use are permethrins
mircea_popescu: the other half of it being
that it is very
toxic
to fish ; back
then people still had
this strange notion
that oceans will continue populated in
the indefinite future.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> no. i recall
the faggots, not yet VERY overweight, going
to
the
things
that meanwhile got captured by apple, much like coca-cola captured xmas << In elementry school historical context for
the
then present was established
to be "on
the verge of paradise, if only we stop littering"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway.
the problem with ddt was bioaccumulation. it was
the original spark for a lot of
the current understanding of "why it is bad
to eat agroindustrial shit". ddt is weakly
toxic, but it and metabolites accumulate, get stored in fat, etcetera.
mod6: <+asciilifeform> removal of ddt was one of
the original
triumphs of rampant envirowhinery. << "it softens up
the eagle eggs!!1"
mircea_popescu: aaaahahahaha o brother. "postmodern film/video
theory & crit with an emphasis on phenomenology" ? reheheheally.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway. straight alcohol, like
the 99 proof stuff for making at home liqueur. fire hazard, but otherwise repellent and killer of bugs.
mircea_popescu: if its a paper wasp colony, destroing
the nest is usually enough.
