asciilifeform: !s ppsh

asciilifeform: (it's linked in a comment on his site iirc)

asciilifeform: nubbins`: i drew a pcb card for mircea_popescu half-seriously

asciilifeform: ^ this possibly

asciilifeform: http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--ryw4r_eG--/18s0bpicjpxufjpg.jpg

asciilifeform: with actual cutouts. massive co2 laser.

asciilifeform: nono

asciilifeform: who was it who had the steel businesscards.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not a gpg-enabled lawyer, i take it

asciilifeform: l0l!

asciilifeform: it went 'subjects as for permission, citizens something-or-other

asciilifeform: -subjects-

asciilifeform: in that if obamitler wished, he could hunt the last panda, or fuck 12yo thai

asciilifeform: well there, certainly. but i'd argue that usg implicitly takes ownership of the wild things here

asciilifeform: possibly some mix (i can think of a situation where it is precisely about ox damage)

asciilifeform: (the crown, who will go after me if i show up with a rifle and a kebeb grill ready to go)

asciilifeform: even an ox wandering loose in mumbai (the locals call'em 'brakes inspectors' on the road) - has owner

asciilifeform: but the less trivial one is that there no such thing as ownerless cattle

asciilifeform: but this is a trivial observation.

asciilifeform: because now whole universe 'is' his stall

asciilifeform: the head of cattle, taught by d3m0cr4cy111!!111!1 that he ought to have some kind of control over his stall, goes apeshit outside.

asciilifeform: it refers to precisely 'this is how we use'

asciilifeform: incidentally, notice how english speakers use word 'training' outside of the context of spinal reflex (sport)

asciilifeform: to rephrase - i'm not certain that anyone knows how to 'civilization' without producing more of this material than anyone knows how to pour into concrete and bury

asciilifeform: but it goes as closely with civilization as lead poisoning.

asciilifeform: then possibly needs word

asciilifeform: is the correct word.

asciilifeform: civilized.

asciilifeform: ^

asciilifeform: and having the temerity to whine if a white spot remains

asciilifeform: tries to exercise a delusion of control over his environment via the only means he knows how - by smearing his surroundings, and if you let him - entire planets - with his shit

asciilifeform: a specifically 'civilized' kind of degeneracy on exhibit here

asciilifeform: at any rate, i enjoy the picture that one day the correct gas may be found for the degenerate.

asciilifeform forgot precisely what. but leafing through old crap reveals that permethrin is not anticholinergic. so couldn't have been it

asciilifeform: what was it

asciilifeform: or not permethrin

asciilifeform: nubbins`: in the lab i worked at, permethrin was used as a substitute for sarin (the building was not rated for the latter, needs airlocks, etc)

asciilifeform: nubbins`: cholinesterase inhibitors work on everybody. just different potencies.

asciilifeform is experiencing almost a kind of synaesthesia. that post -stinks-, just about literally, of american degeneracy. smells kinda like 'mcdonalds'

asciilifeform: we have a tailless one here, and a very ancient skeletal one, both fed

asciilifeform: was fed ?

asciilifeform: how does beast with these handicaps stay afloat ?

asciilifeform: danielpbarron: in some parts of usa suburbia, animals found wandering outdoors are mercilessly caught and soap van

asciilifeform: presumably they keel over somewhere else, in a designated place

asciilifeform: though i've yet to find a carcass

asciilifeform: the beasts fight one another even without idiot man (i know this well enough from watching the wild cats in own yard)

asciilifeform: as in, there can be very few things more noble than killing them, slowly, and with cameras rolling for posterity.

asciilifeform: but some 'people' really -are- the 'planetary cancer'' imagined by enviro-whiners. as in, the actual core of truth behind the myth.

asciilifeform: and i'm not even a zoophiliac.

asciilifeform: dosage adjusted as necessary.

asciilifeform: i would greatly enjoy putting the author of the post in the very similar situation.

asciilifeform: who brutally murder any tame animal unfortunate enough to be let out for a walk

asciilifeform: aha. we have idiots like this here

asciilifeform if had to choose who to render for fat, the animal or the 'man' from the link, would choose the latter without hesitation

asciilifeform: how even found this.

asciilifeform: w4r3z cache

asciilifeform: ^ re: brain copies

asciilifeform: !s pig burial

asciilifeform: and there isn't really a good effort they could make to demonstrate a desire to avoid those

asciilifeform: because 'graded for effort'

asciilifeform: jurov: follow the logic. they don't care if there is a sea burial going on underneath, or a shipwreck with skeletons

asciilifeform: 'eruv' (Adlai: correct transliteration if off)

asciilifeform: nubbins`: i think they grade themselves 'for effort.' consider the rope

asciilifeform: is it considered a score against the cemetary, or the kohen ?

asciilifeform: who, cohanim ?

asciilifeform: while alive, presumably ?

asciilifeform: charge extra

asciilifeform: for the whole lot of passengers

asciilifeform: why not bless the floor tiles ?

asciilifeform: but the plastic in the fuselage is not sufficient barrier ?

asciilifeform: Adlai: what is the logic behind the condom ?

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: contagious patient ?

asciilifeform: nubbins`: what is pictured here ?

asciilifeform: just as the rest of us do.

asciilifeform: trinque: you're 'dividing by zero' just by thinking about this

asciilifeform: wai wat

asciilifeform: even among the devoutly religious

asciilifeform: for some reason you don't meet terribly many folks today who won't ride, e.g., an airplane, for this reason

asciilifeform: or somesuch

asciilifeform: re: teleporter: there were actually people who refused to travel on steam locomotives because the soul can't keep up and will get lost ☟︎

asciilifeform: but yet again this sentence is an abuse of word.

asciilifeform: i might care, when it's my turn to argue with my copy about who should be shot

asciilifeform: so shaman?

asciilifeform: 'me'

asciilifeform: again using this word that no longer has a correct meaning in the hypothetical system

asciilifeform does not find ^ a very interesting hypothesis

asciilifeform: (typically shaman says that no such thing as the copy could even be attempted, because the gods will drop a piano on your head.)

asciilifeform: but unless you posit some bit of of shamanism that distinguishes the original and is somehow copy-protected, the copying -happened-

asciilifeform: l0l

asciilifeform: which me

asciilifeform: and then mircea_popescu walks in with a '45 and asks which one to shoot ☟︎

asciilifeform: trinque: you say this, and so will the copy

asciilifeform: nubbins`: yeah i recall the thread

asciilifeform: (most 'multiple personality' cases are really just schizophrenics playing games. ask a specialist)

asciilifeform: nubbins`: to find people with 'more than one self' you generally have to visit more than one asylum

asciilifeform: (while you read this paragraph, it is quite likely that at least one of your neurons died. and wasn't even replaced with a copyable mechanical one, at that. are you 'still you' ? and moreover, do you find the question itself interesting, or the answer being something that matters ?)

asciilifeform: the answer to 'is the copy you' is 'shutthefuckup you're asking a broken question' ☟︎

asciilifeform: and physics ground to a screeching halt when bohr reintroduced it to physics
