asciilifeform: the imbeciles are phucked and their only recourse, as is now traditional, is to fud and lawyering ☟︎

asciilifeform: 'and the reason i believe they fought me so hard, and is a detail thats kind of hard to get through to reporters, is that the cylinders used an OTP memory, the issues cannot be fixed without a somewhat expensive exchange' -- from the locks article

asciilifeform: takes some effort to read this correctly. ☟︎

asciilifeform: ... or maybe not

asciilifeform: ^ on first sight, very perverse findings which appear to contradict those of ordinary 'valgrind'

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo is professional gardener now ?!

asciilifeform: they get sentenced to time served.

asciilifeform: (idea was that scarcely anyone survived, and so would-be miscreants were tempted with reduced terms with proviso that if they return, they get to kill somebody)

asciilifeform: giant wasps always bring me brain back to an ancient sf tome from childhood, where a couplea blokes submitted to do a prison planet term -in advance-

asciilifeform: who will rise again, or the like.

asciilifeform: cazalla: was to be a complicated l0l re: 'red' indians

asciilifeform bets on red

asciilifeform: cash on barrelhead.

asciilifeform: but basic point stands - cleaner does not clean the forest. not unless the badgers, mushrooms, snakes - pay.

asciilifeform: perhaps then girls will also make best os demungers, cosmonauts, etc

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu might consider sharing his martian tech with rest of planet 3

asciilifeform: because was under the impression that mircea_popescu lacked for desperadoes, good shootouts, etc. in b-a rather than gurlz

asciilifeform conjectured.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: why ? << same reason flew in pogotrons - local supplies did not cut it

asciilifeform was also under the impression that mircea_popescu already flies in females as necessary for terraforming martian colony

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'm still puzzled as to how importing female ua would replenish the missing supply of (somehow) necessary orcs

asciilifeform has definitely met this wasp

asciilifeform: it is attractive, properly speaking, in contrast to -the rest of usa-

asciilifeform: or perhaps even these, we have somewhere.

asciilifeform: the only thing missing in this penal colony are those giant wasps that can sautee a man full of eggs in minutes

asciilifeform: if i had to design a climate for penal colony planet, i'd base it on this.

asciilifeform: decimation: and the nearer to d.c. swamp, the more so, yes

asciilifeform: i have (had?) bookmark pit with 1,001 of these.

asciilifeform: eh reads like 'mansphere' sop.

asciilifeform: which half

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: import ukraina l0l

asciilifeform: decimation: is that the bloke who was beaten to death in a za police clink ?

asciilifeform: perhaps ar could benefit from a steamer full of arabs et al

asciilifeform: the (not argentinian but pertinent) garcia marquez painted a very frightening picture of this, in his tales

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: ... there hasn't been one in decades << all dead ?

asciilifeform recalls reading tales of daring heists and bloody shootouts from ar '01-03 default years

asciilifeform: everywhere else <=4.

asciilifeform: my 5+ letters come in over the fiber.

asciilifeform: i sorta live there now.

asciilifeform: ^ except for that rusty old luger at the flea market, l0l

asciilifeform: what ought they to steal in b-a ? the icecream ?

asciilifeform: competent robbers go where there is something to steal ?

asciilifeform: no robbers in b-a ?

asciilifeform: or the kind that lights parked cars on fire ?

asciilifeform: the kind that sets fire to grocer because his usg-sponsored lunch skipped a day?

asciilifeform: what kind of orc does mircea_popescu lack in b-a ?

asciilifeform for example lives in 90+% south american street

asciilifeform: (and we have plenty of orc of whatever kind.)

asciilifeform: depressing?

asciilifeform: if not this, there'd be pinkertons, machine-gunning at foot level

asciilifeform: this is one reason why the uprisings are permitted (hell, organized) by usg

asciilifeform: 'here is why you were smart not to move to where house exactly like yours costs 1/7th what you paid'

asciilifeform: in fact, the baltimore thing etc. is a kind of 'floor demo'

asciilifeform: it mostly works.

asciilifeform: they pay up to 100% of income, yes.

asciilifeform: in the general case, both - predictable. like the example of orlov's bridge falling into the river. (eventually the whole thing is underwater. but when?)

asciilifeform: orc flare-ups are similarly unpredictable (other than, possibly, to instigators)

asciilifeform: or rather, pieces of usa

asciilifeform: usa will also have a government.

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: aka south africa

asciilifeform: <mircea_popescu> why would you, or anyone stand for the usg ?! << i can think of one reason - if alternative is surrender to orcs

asciilifeform: (mega-recommend: watch the extant films from it. good quality shootouts, etc)

asciilifeform: l.a. had proper street war.

asciilifeform: and why was l.a. not the hole the night walks in through ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what does it mean to 'drive out statal enforcement' in a place that is run 100% on usg largesse ?

asciilifeform: and, the absolutely key soviet part, gendarme will be posted far from his home town

asciilifeform: which will, naturally, follow 'federal equal opportunity employment' etc.

asciilifeform: re: police irregularities: i'm still betting on the hypothesis that local police will be pissed on in propagandatron endlessly until finally entirely replaced (as planned) with centralized gendarmerie

asciilifeform: 206451

asciilifeform: decimation: last i checked it was nsa

asciilifeform: makes the lawns of d.c. capitol, etc. look shabby.

asciilifeform: mega-posh campus, incidentally

asciilifeform: surrounded, today, by (discreet) guard booths

asciilifeform: or rats, from sewers.

asciilifeform: why not beggars then ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: the point of the king's police is to maintain the king's claims to sovereignity << this was no mystery of any kind to the folks who first witnessed this marvellous invention.

asciilifeform: nobody - to a first approximation - wants to do fucking anything at all...

asciilifeform was poking phun at the imbecility of the camera thing

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: how i got broadband for a decade << same

asciilifeform: many interesting gadgets, which, apparently, nobody uses.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu ^ ?

asciilifeform: how about dhat ? ( http://valgrind.org/docs/manual/dh-manual.html )

Thereafter, United States Customs advised that inspections of the cable tank buildings, additional permits and the payment of duties were required in addition to a warehouse bond for the importation and storage of surplus cable.'

asciilifeform: 'President Hoover signed a permit to lay cable in the territorial waters of the United States on June 17, 1930. The Cuban-American Telephone and Telegraph Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bell Telephone Company, accepted responsibility for the work under this permit and filed it with the State Department in Washington D.C.
