mircea_popescu: yeah. it's a very strong version of i suppose westernarck. if it's seen you for a long
time it's not likely
to attack unprovoked.
mircea_popescu: think :
the first
time people found out
there were 300
tigers in moscow was when
they went
to look for
them. not when
the 500 people were eaten, sort of
thing.
mircea_popescu: i suspect
that may be
the deep driver, guy knows
the animal is harmless, much more so
than wife, but visitors shit pants.
mircea_popescu: nah. contrary
to popular imagination, domestic
tigers aren't particularly ferocious.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-15 00:29 mircea_popescu: pretty fine example of exactly why warren was so vocal (item was strictly a barony created so elizabeth warren could be barron OF SOMETHING).
this cfpb item spent 55mn on "renovations" of its hq, ie more
than
the gsa spent
that year on everything
the usg owns ; spent immensely on
travel (which is not something
they do).
the chairman is supposed
to not be removable by
the president except "for cause" (meanwhile
that got strick
mircea_popescu: wtf, "violation of animal rights" ? what is
this bullshit.
mircea_popescu: why
the fuck are
they quoting an english "life" article.
mircea_popescu: i very much doubt any english speaker read enough evola
to distinguish him from, whatever, eco
trinque: former had more
to do with Bezos' own political signaling
mircea_popescu: hey, nobody cares "our democracy" was built by no less a man
than mussolini.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform maybe
they just minded who you were with :D
mircea_popescu: i never bought into
that "gotta be
the better guy"
theor.y
mircea_popescu: on occasion. yes with
teeth. i also pluck
their legs and let
them die. in general i
torture a good half of all mosquitoes.
a111: Logged on 2017-03-16 22:55 mircea_popescu: yeah, i have nfi why
teh putin isn't flooding
the usg with red notices for usgtards.
mircea_popescu: "There is nothing smoother
then
this rum. I recommend everyone
to get
this. I bought it in Costa Rica for $45. It goes great with come." << bwahahaha
that site.
teh sluts know.
mircea_popescu: ok.
THAT's exclusive. not because it's expensive but because you can't fucking get it.
trinque: it's
the shit in every vegas hotel's bullshit snack locker
pete_dushenski: dunno why anyone would pose with grey goose
that wasn't 10l either
pete_dushenski: grey goose has normal unflavoured variants. in mega-bottles (>2l) isn't
the only 'flavour' available afaik
mircea_popescu: "Dramatic label. Frenchness. Premium exclusivity." are you FUCKING KIDDING ME ?~!?!?! you can buy it at
thew supermarket! wtf exclusivity!
mircea_popescu: they really gotta hfcs all
the
things, don't
they. it's not enough
the difference between beer and fanta is
the label. now gotta fuck up
the liquors
too don't
they
pete_dushenski: myeah. rcmp
took credit
too. independent authority!!!1
pete_dushenski: belan was on cover of one of
the sections of
the local paper
this morning. flexing his
tatted muscles in mirror selfie. article referenced how '22yo dropped out of school but was seen on instagram flashing wads of 100s, driving fast cars, drinking grey goose(!), and posing with girls in
tight dresses(!!)'
mircea_popescu: yeah, i have nfi why
teh putin isn't flooding
the usg with red notices for usgtards.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: heh now
THAT is going away only with
the physical dismemberment of
the beast.
Framedragger: i was getting incredulous with
the first sentence description but my worries were soothed after reading
that
they're built on ethereum and
that
they had an I C O
Framedragger: > Melonport,
the company behind Melon, had a very successful Initial Coin Offering (ICO), hitting its
target of 227,000 ETH
Framedragger: > Melon is a protocol for managing digital assets
that is decentralized, modular,
transparently auditable, and low cost
Framedragger: got an email, "Kraken opens Melon (MLN)
trading"
mircea_popescu: lmao,
the libertards are nao in "plox don't expect evidence for
that
trump-russia
thing" mutual grooming mode.
pete_dushenski: in other news, i'm happy
to report
that i've successfully run alf's wire patch. hooray!1
mircea_popescu: conceivably
the nobel prize committe could confer on
them
the auld mug.
davout: bear with my
temporary incompetence, still working on air law
ben_vulpes: precisely so
that losing power doesn't mean instadeath
ben_vulpes: and
then
they hit mechanical stops, eg 0, 1, 2, 3
ben_vulpes: davout: aiui, nobody cranks
the effecting surfaces around, but uses a small flap
to do so.
davout: ben_vulpes:
that rings a bell, not a mega-planes specialist, yet
veen: the man-handling happened at
the helm of
the challenger, much much smaller airframe
davout: i'll dig it,
the question is interesting
ben_vulpes: don't
the megaplanes do
the
trick with
the
tiny flap
that actuates
the effecting flap?
veen: anyway lesson here is
that heavy, slow, and high-drag config means shoving a metric fuck
ton of air around, and said airmass remains energized for a long while
davout: imagine an A380 on mechanical force, what would
the point be?
davout: ben_vulpes: i
think some don't
davout: asciilifeform: probably one of
the x systems would have survived
ben_vulpes: i imagine
the actuation forces in a hyraulicized biz jet are...larger
davout: you still feel it,
that's
the point
veen: forces required
to move cessna surfaces around within design envelope speeds are not significant, mechanical advantage is sufficient
veen: if you've ever
turned off
the ignition in your
truck while rolling and
tried
to steer or apply brakes you know
the feel
veen: literally get
two guys on
the yoke and start reefin' on it
veen: with both engines out and no ram air
turbine you have no hydraulic pressure with which
to do shit
davout: second:
try
to not die later by getting at least an angine back on
davout: first: don't die immediately by recovering
the aircraft
davout: something different
this
ben_vulpes: so get
the bird into some sort of regime where you can air-start
the
turbines?
davout: that's my understanding
too
ben_vulpes: davout: what means "recover
the aircraft exercising raw muscle force"?
davout: i had
to double check,
thought it was some kind of hoax
ben_vulpes: >
the aircraft received damage beyond repair and was written off
davout: "he aircraft encountered wake
turbulence sending
the aircraft in uncontrolled roll
turning
the aircraft around at least 3
times (possibly even 5
times), both engines flamed out,
the Ram Air
Turbine could not deploy possibly as result of G-forces and structural stress,
the aircraft lost about 10,000 feet until
the crew was able
to recover
the aircraft exercising raw muscle force"
ben_vulpes: well at first i
thought it was a good pun on don sancho using
the portugese dao, and punning on
teh dao attacker
mircea_popescu: cutting own
throat = "not able
to participate in bitcoin"
