mircea_popescu: next
they're going
to invent a sheath fully utilizing steel
that aims at solving
the difficulties faced by swords embedded in idiots guts everywhere.

taxing/administrative system in various countries.
mircea_popescu: put
that in your "internet domains are worth money" pipe and smoke it.

to 'respectable people'

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-18#1658505 stick : i literally did not bother paying for
the domain, for no other reason
than because i literally give
this much of a shit about domains, and
the whole rest of
the ustardian crap built atop it.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: ah, look at
that, highschool virgin club collecting discarded, used condoms, making
themselves bower
to impress
the highschool sluts. sounds like MAGA.

the cardano people !
shinohai: Take care
to avoid minotaurs jurov and have fun! ^.^
Framedragger: asciilifeform: can't be kako, site is
too positive about mpex :D
BingoBoingo: Not yet, waiting for anchoring hardware
to arrive. Attaching a
tin shed
to
the ground.
jurov: oh
that. actually,
the other dude kicked me :)
BingoBoingo: jurov: seems
to have went
through eventually or something. Resolved A+++!!!11!!!
jurov: BingoBoingo: it expired. prolly
too low fee :D
BingoBoingo: verstations felt very
trap like with "sting op" sort of vibe. Impossible
to
tell if
through malice or powerlessness over certain dry plant matter.

http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-18#1658014 << i
tracked down
the heathen pit in question, for entomological purposes.
the only possibly lulzy bit is
that it
turns out
to be
thestringpuller 's new home.
BingoBoingo:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-18#1658191 << It's been a while since he's lit up my inbox. Went over
the years from promising
to sell cookies he wouldn't bake
to writing a couple good qntra's under cazalla regime.
Then sort just degraded
to repeatedly asking questions over plaintext about gardening for plants I don't grow. "tomatoes" but I suspect he was using it as a code word for a plant incompatible with quality sobriety. His late con
☝︎ mircea_popescu: now calculate
the magnetic field
that
turns a million years into a second.
mircea_popescu: yes.
they don't
tend
to have 100k spare change in couch cushions.
mircea_popescu: it went so fucking well for curie and
that idiot with
the beryl sphere.
mircea_popescu: gee, i wonder why nobody wants
to dedicate life
to building incidental nuke.
mircea_popescu: and also, surprisingly energetic. imagine what fun it'll be once you discover
that a kilogram is not like
the microgram in
that it summons fucking chtulhu.
mircea_popescu: yeah. jus' saying, ev is
the problem with
this
theoretically promising idea.
mircea_popescu: add a 2% conversion efficiency on
top, and it suddenly looks
terribru. diesel engines work in
the high 40%.
mircea_popescu: (well,
twice, really. irl i should have divided by half)
mircea_popescu: if
the whole mol halflived NOW
that'd be
the
total energetic output.
mircea_popescu: dja know what
the mol of gasoline produces
through oxidation ?
mircea_popescu: anyway, as far as
the conspiracies go : politically speaking, if
the ev were even close, even vaguely
the "art" grads in eg germany would be pushing for lifting
the cost on hot reactors matter disposal so as
to balance it outright.
trinque: ^ where deedbot asked for one fp, our excitable friend put
two
mircea_popescu: (beta sources are
terrible, i will remind
the public, because metal emits gamma on contact.)
mircea_popescu: though most don't even want
to use
that as a confinement method
mircea_popescu: anyway, esp because of
the incredible expense
that is magnetic bottle, it's not even CLOSE, ev wise.
mircea_popescu: well, do you what, go
to parties where solid state grads show up ? or how would you ?
mircea_popescu: beta radiation is not just an electron about in
the sense a
tsunami is not just water.
mircea_popescu: but
the
thing remains, so you do induced beta decay.
this has some matter costs, in
the radioactive material, and some energy cost, in
the confinement, excitatron, etc. in exchange for
these, you get beta particles. now, what do you do with
them ? warm some water,
turn
turbine ? -ev. put against photovoltaics ? -ev. illuminate raw metal joints ? -ev. what ?
mircea_popescu: informal party
talk. i've never followed it in much detail.
mircea_popescu: i know of a coupla who
tried.
the problem was
the measurements not coming out, rather
than conspiraci.
mircea_popescu: i dunno, seems even at mit, physics lab should be able
to produce
the micrograms of I or w/e is contemplarted here.

the americans used
to say
a111: Logged on 2017-02-19 03:54 asciilifeform: (iirc we had a
thread where i described how corporate ameritards, if given a problem like phuctor, would happily soak up a few $mil and megawatt of iron)
mircea_popescu is having
the antipasta of all
time. grana padano, anchovies, winter salami, olives... ahhh.
mircea_popescu: there's many
tons of waste in
the us
they don't klnow what
to do with. and as recent qntra points out, it's starting
to leak.
mircea_popescu: if
the 100k you're
talking about is factual, ie, what a moderately competent engineer makes a year, it seems altogether strange
they're not doing it.
mircea_popescu: not entirely clear
to me what you're saying here. so
the idea is,
that because random upstart / usurper of minor crown enobled anyone who could read/write and hadn't rean off a century ago, it
therefore follows
that a man who could power a whole city out of hot reactor waste
today does not do so because mit graduates can't power a lightbulb with
the battery in hand. something like
that ?
