ben_vulpes: one bespeaks a fundamental failure to understand the mechanisms at play, the other a poor grasp of thermal inertia and the concept of localized heat stresses.
mircea_popescu: also a matter of volume. casual handling of half a gallon of boiling oil != one chicken leg.
mircea_popescu: lol so wait, she made a hot oil kitchentop bomb ?

Apocalyptic: thank you guys for having given it a shot, was a nice experience

gribble: You rated user Apocalyptic on Fri Feb 14 01:37:20 2014, with a rating of 1, and supplied these additional notes: x-bt.com etc.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform> if there were a 'pepsi' alternative to usg, folks who can make any claim at value would be defecting in droves. << there is, they aren't.

asciilifeform: e.g., pre-unification italy, where if you were stuck under a ruler who isn't fond of trigonometry, you could walk to the domain of another who is - and will hold your pursuers off by force of arms, if he's an aficionado of your work

I think it's Albania http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_schemes_in_Albania Maybe someone can help shed more light as he didn't know what the country was at the time.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo sounds like a decent "lsd/pot stories" series.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo why not "the coming of the comet" << I'm thinking a series of comets head towards earth, they were uncharted.
