decimation: I found really great NASCAR earphones that have 30 dB attenuation down to low frequencies - I look like a tool on the airplane

decimation: pro tip: when someone is jerking randomly in the water below a "no swimming - danger of electrocution" sign, don't jump in to rescue
decimation: Although there were 'No Swimming' signs that warned of the danger of electrocution, it was common practice for patrons to swim at the marina. ... Samantha tried to climb on a raft with Margaret when she suddenly started jerking in the water. ... Another boater dove in to save Samantha. He was shocked too and barely escaped with his life. Sadly, Samantha died.
decimation: This bridgeport magnetics group also sells isolation transformers designed for use in streetlights: http://www.bridgeportmagnetics.com/streetlight.html - available on a street near you :)

decimation: I wanted to buy a 1:2 transformer to step-up my 120 volt generator to 240 volt for heavy appliances

benkay: asciilifeform: on a scale of zero to turd, what's your take on the gnupg 'fellowship' smartcard?

Apocalyptic: never seen it defined in such a way
fluffypony: Apocalyptic: also - http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/entropy - "a process of degradation or running down or a trend to disorder"
xmj: so a reboot is necessary from time to time.
mircea_popescu: "check your privilege" is a polite indication that one's being so generally stupid it's not worth discussing the particulars.
mircea_popescu: the people who used to steal by the 100s are no longer interested to either continue hitting them for quarters or to sell to a hungry young scammer willing to bother.

fluffypony: "Have actually been discussing this very topic with a couple of my friends. Though CS has been around for quite sometime, it's becoming more and more apparent that Kumala doesn't seem to spend a whole lotta time even making sure his sites wallet's are working. Add to this the ridiculous fee's, 0 due-diligence, and serious lack of support we've all agreed that CS's time is limited at best barring some sort of major delta in Kumala's modus
mircea_popescu: punkman: that's not a quarter << well it's not two weeks either, whadda ya want.
mircea_popescu: they created the fucking mental slots. a generation of ipo artists fed on wow and md.

BingoBoingo: I'm just thinking the natural direction for funds considering I'm a not particularly in shape middle 'Murican would probably favor my capture.

BingoBoingo: punkman: I would definitely be a unique application of Bitbet as a hedge, at least so far.
BingoBoingo: punkman: I think price dependent I'd throw a BTC on "No" and put my best Eagle Scout skills into avoiding capture. I'd plan on using the bet as a hedge.
Apocalyptic: BingoBoingo, do you happen to have a linkg to that text ?
BingoBoingo: benkay: You see there is a substantial difference between AM1 and RENT. AM1 went as high as 6 BTC (not the havelock asset but the underlying) and served as the TardStar for 18 months now. It is now flirting with equity under IPO price. RENT was always questionable in price.
BingoBoingo: If I man up on crossing the Darien on foot, I'll probably throw down coin on a bitbet hedge for ransom
