mircea_popescu: his situation is of this nature!
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: may as well compare to stamping bug with boot
mircea_popescu: not more toxic.
mircea_popescu: depenmds what you replace it with. the only time i actually used something, i boiled tobacco.
asciilifeform: just as the replacement freons. because it wasn't about toxicity.
asciilifeform: fact : the replacements moar poisonous to mammal.
mircea_popescu: compared to malaria even cesium comes out smelling pretty good
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is mistake to compare to thin air and distilled water. compare to, e.g., mosquito's malaria, wasp stings.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform while that is true, it's also not a proof ddt is safe. it's not particularly safe.
ben_vulpes: much less the nursery lol, i am old and nigh to my grave and so spray liberally about myself. but the wee ones? i'm nottabout to pump the kid full of chemicals when i go so far the fuck out of my way to keep them out of his life in the first place.
asciilifeform: removal of ddt was one of the original triumphs of rampant envirowhinery.
shinohai: Otherwise USG wouldn't be payong benefits to all these peeps that developed cancer from Agent Orange in Vietnam
asciilifeform: and ~unbeatable on target species.
asciilifeform: i'd much rather eat it, than anything sold nao
mircea_popescu: ddt is rather toxic ; random other examples notwithstanding.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: makes my lips numb, i don't really want it in the house.
asciilifeform: wholly nonpoisonous to people
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i wouldn't put it in the house.
ben_vulpes: well, 'bitching out' perhaps too strong. "you're going to do something right RIGHT?" "uh well yes we should do something!"
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: now take a minute to clench your teeth and remember that ddt was once sold, fiddycents a pound, in corner store.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes why is this landlord's fault ?
ben_vulpes: $girl handled whole thing from duct taping hole shut to bitching out landlord to scheduling exterminators and arranging for bill to arrive at landlord's place
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i thought the notion was, 'yes you can marry but not marry-without-having-been-whore'
ben_vulpes: in other woman stories, the wasps chewed a hole through the ceiling into the nursery last night
mircea_popescu: you know all tjhe pretense of superiority of "honest" women always amused me. their pretense goes, that they could whore at any time, opt not to. in reality, whores could marry at any time, opt not to.
mircea_popescu: prostitution wasn't on the table. more like marriage.\
mircea_popescu: anyway, they never specify because they never give a shit. you're generally supposed to have a new book you're trying to promote or such.
asciilifeform: asciilifeform was at one time invited to... microshit campus, to give a talk ( about what? never specified )
mircea_popescu: wouldn't that be racist ?

asciilifeform: for one thing, ~all of the other ads, are for witchcraft ( magical dream enhancement pills etc )
asciilifeform: almost beggars belief that intel paid to advertise in this rag

asciilifeform: would not have made any moar sense than mormon bible
mircea_popescu: kinda hard to know such

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-19#1686933 << when phf first described subj, asciilifeform thought 'what if i saw it then, would it have made sense, appealed?' but now i know -- no ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: it is not given to know.
asciilifeform: reagan et al planned for exactly what they got : an extra ~three decades of Moar Time from the reaper
asciilifeform: ( they may have hallucinations of future but that's about it )
mircea_popescu: i very much doubt anyone at any level had any plans besides "paradise begins once we outlive the soviets"
asciilifeform: the feast indeed was in the works. but the dishes not quite what the feasters imagine, no.
mircea_popescu: anyway. they DID have this glare in eye liek exactly as described. as if they believed celestial mom and dad are preparing the feasrt for them, and they best but fidgetingly wait.
mircea_popescu: i suppose the first time black fucktoy whispers nonsense in the bedroom it's rather condiment than a reason to flay her kind alive.
asciilifeform: but dun feel actively disgusted by the fact that, over there up north, there he is.
asciilifeform: you wouldn't invite a walrus to your table either ( other than perhaps as main course )
mircea_popescu: tho i harbored no notion of their presence being acceptable at my table.
mircea_popescu: they looked ridiculous, yes, but they were not yet offensive.
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
asciilifeform: because it wasn't an illusion only lived by the wankers. but, to some extent i suspect by everyone, this notion that 'there's enough sunlight'
mircea_popescu: entitlowank. somehow it wasn't so offensive in the 90s
asciilifeform: 'At the appointed time, Our Benevolent Corporate Patriarchs would "lift the curtains" and invite us all into the wondrous Future they'd made ready for us. We'd all be welcome; the Future, by its very nature, was cheerful and inclusive. In the meantime, while they were getting it all ready, the corporations would allow us to experience the Future in short, controlled bursts, such as the World's Fair Expo, or Disney World's Tomorrowlan
asciilifeform remembers this comic
mircea_popescu: how's trix
ben_vulpes: ahah this yeah
phf: also vaguely related, a comic about "cyber-" culture, and the early (i.e. pre-mondo) valley excitement. i found it to be highly entertaining when viewed through the tmsr prism. http://www.electricsheepcomix.com/almostguy/
phf: articles by robert anton wilson, timophy leary interviews william gibson, psychic tv talking about rave culture
phf: it's fun to look at the early valley culture artifacts. if nothing else this shit was still edgy compared to what it eventually turned into
a111: Logged on 2017-07-07 23:52 phf: mondo 2000, the proto valley crowd, i think we had the thread. basically, jwz.

mircea_popescu: and in vintage trilemas i give you... the BEATTIE! http://trilema.com/2012/shampoo/#selection-57.620-57.938
mircea_popescu: no, you gotta get a credit card to buy more cars with. ☟︎
shinohai: The point of being rich is doing whatever the fuck you want, be it irc or cursing whores in Latin
a111: Logged on 2013-02-16 14:17 Diablo-D3: people who are that rich dont hang out on IRC
mircea_popescu: soon enough it's http://btcbase.org/log/2013-02-16#-121196 and then it's "rich people don't learn languages" and on it goes from there. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: laugh if you will, but the ENTIRE experience of wealth ustard enjoys is exactly this and nothing else. from the kid begging his parents for a lambo truck / https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9s8XilZa2WY all the way up to the fiat captains of industry, stuck between being "too big to fail" and being FED-fed anyway.
shinohai: My God that thread is a lulzfest of begging redditards
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in the circus, https://archive.is/8bnEI
mircea_popescu: ah, masquerade as tracert
asciilifeform somehow missed this when it appeared
a111: Logged on 2017-07-19 18:22 trinque: "sit and behave" drugs are the worst kind of protestant mother.
asciilifeform finally found the pertinent trilema re http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-19#1686793 >> '..."feminists" are merely trying to dissolve subjective blocks to regendering, so it's easier for more people to faster embrace what's socially required of them. Seeing how once you've decided to go to the dentist it's really very bad form to pick fights with the anesthesiologist, what exactly do you have against them ? Jus' doin' their job.' ☝︎
asciilifeform: somebody's trying to beat the disconnectolade record, or wut.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: par of ye olde tradition where crapple stock is 'worth' the moon etc, neh
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the most amusing part is how they keep adding the official fiat value to the shit, as if.
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Best part, the cop is a somali
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Well, mostly curious how fender flags are going to stick to that thing.
ben_vulpes: reputation of usg.polizei continues to decline, no longer safe to even approach cops once you've called for help: http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/19/us/minneapolis-australian-woman-killed-by-police/index.html
trinque drives a black gas guzzling 8cyl truck through 100 degree heat, working on that megawatt
asciilifeform: in other hilarities, https://archive.is/uHp7H >> 'Someone stole ~$32M (~153k ether) from three multisig wallets.'
mircea_popescu: o right, cuz it gets hot in the rest of the world.
jhvh1: BingoBoingo: The operation succeeded.
BingoBoingo: !~later tell pete_dushenski How is Blackzilla treating you? Is motor adequately cooled to handle a tortuous Canadian July?
a111: Logged on 2017-07-19 18:26 trinque: I thought hitler's young ass-beaters had something to do with kicking off one.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-19#1686799 << the proposition is problematic. hitler was, for all intents and purposes, a farm chicken with beak sawed off. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and this is not limited to cpus. it is re evertything. "either your videocard can be asm'd into utility or else it is not actually a video card" "but it works in windows!" "so does your mother."
deedbot: whaack rated BingoBoingo 1 << qntra editor, adds salt and pepper to my writing
asciilifeform: ( nao not everyone, turns out, has a standard ada. but this is fixable. )
mircea_popescu: this is the fuckinbg point already.
asciilifeform: well, e.g., ffa, is 100% portable in the sense where it will build on ANY standards-compliant ada
a111: Logged on 2017-07-19 18:59 mircea_popescu: some actual review and by-hand rewrite of those roots would actually benefit the republic immensely.
mircea_popescu: because yes, once http://btcbase.org/log/2017-07-19#1686858 is done "portability" becomes a very different item than the beast it is today. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: i sure as fuck would prefer the situation where i have to change half dozen asm quarter-pages to go from x86 to whatever than the current shitwolrd offering.
asciilifeform: this is mainly to build later for microcontroller that just has uart, no file system
asciilifeform: i have 'p' structured such that all it wants i/o-wise is a 'getbyte' and 'putbyte' that operator can replace with whatever ☟︎☟︎
