mircea_popescu: i dunno, i clicked on some link in
there and it showed me an orange pile with some sort of
teddybear crushed under it
mircea_popescu: incidentally, no such labs now larger referrer for
trilema
than
the logs.
shinohai: There was an enterprising lady on reddit iirc who charged 0.1
to keep
the
tards locked up in one weekly.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-01 20:59 mircea_popescu: ladrones simply comes from lado, as in "de
todo lado".
ben_vulpes: well
this is
the office and apparently
they have
their own set of keys
trinque: let himself in << what
the fuck?
ben_vulpes: i didn't actually know
that
the fire marshall planned
to let himself in, but GLORIOUS SOCIALIST UTOPIA OF PORTLAND
trinque: somebody has authoritah
to inspect your power strips somewhere?
trinque still wants
to know what gang plugging is!
ben_vulpes: funny
thing is
that i can guarantee if i'm drawing any serious amount of amperage it will be
the walls
that ignite and not my nigga-rigged workstation
phf: "make sure he gets plugged -- sure
thing boss" later "benny v arrested in gang related plugging"
jurov went
to look up
trabajadores,
there was
this example usage: Mis
trabajadores roban material de oficina de la empresa.
mircea_popescu: sort-of how
the long lost compass in
tribal shaman's possession is covered in braids and whatnot.
mircea_popescu: never would
that item have left factory in
that condition
mircea_popescu: i mean, IVECO
trucks, clearly made for municipal use, clearly delivered new sometime in
the past 2-3 years. as loud as a zil uphill.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform currently i suspect
they unseat and reseat
the engine blocks wrongly.
mircea_popescu: but
then it became crystal clear -
they have
these auto shops here, about 100x
the floor space of bars and nightclubs altogether. and in
them, men.
trabajadores.
mircea_popescu: it was long a low level puzzle
this, "seriously, 2010
toyota sounds LIKE
THAT ?!"
☟︎ mircea_popescu: at which point englithment struck me : do you know
that in
two years here i NEVER heard an engine as quiet as
the item left
the factory ?
mircea_popescu: and he used
that shovel.
to bang on
the lower end of
the steep pipe, ostensibly
to induce it
to
take a shape less offensive
to his
taste and good public morals.
mircea_popescu: so folks may recall
the airconditioner pics ? in
the same vein,
this morning
there was a
truck loaded with steel pipes, and
two
trabajadores. one of
them held a pipe up in
the air vertically, with great effort, as
the wind
threatened
to cause a serious workplace accident any moment.
the other had a shovel.
mircea_popescu: i can't say i grasp what
the dude
thought he was doing exactly.
mircea_popescu: shinohai <
that sort of shit is misleading because usual socialism. should be in
term of
total fees.
mircea_popescu: A student
told his friend, "My
teacher has amazing powers. He moves a pen in
the air and characters appear on a piece of paper held on
the other side of
the river. What does your master do?" His friend replied "My great master follows Zen. When he is hungry, he eats and when he is
tired he sleeps."
☟︎ trinque: mircea_popescu: A student once asked his
teacher, "Master, what is enlightenment?"
The master replied, "When hungry, eat. When
tired, sleep." <<
this
thing?
phf: asciilifeform:
this is some prime warez

trinque: still didn't feel superhuman on either; more like excited dog
that has
to sniff everything in a loop
a111: Logged on 2016-12-01 18:24
trinque has advocated various dopes in
the past solely because
they were fun, like camping is fun, but I don't write code camping either. I camp.
phf: sort of reminds me how i was
trying
to
teach a group of script kiddies
to program. "this here shellcode --
that we use
to pwn newwwbs!!! -- yes, yes, see it's x86 assembly -- ... -- and you disassemble it, and
then even write your own -- so we can pwn newbs better????!!! -- yes yes precisely"
a111: Logged on 2016-12-01 18:07 asciilifeform:
the 'culture' was, as i gather, never actually ~about~
the code, but... about
the coffee;
the shared deathmarches;
the dope;
the sensory deprivation bottles;
the 'scene'; and other pretenses.
a111: Logged on 2016-12-01 18:06 phf: also made me rather mistrustful of a lot of "hacker culture" elements, like
too much coffee, night hacking, after hour sprints, weekend hacking, all
things
that i've confirmed from experience
to contributing
to atrocious code
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-12-01#1575685 << you have
to appreciate
that "hacker culture" as practiced by adolescents is very different from hacking and very related
to adolescence.
the "hunting culture" of adolescents similarly is more about
the horde being
together and all excited
than about catching anything.
☝︎ mircea_popescu: fine example for
trinque 's folder on "brain - not reasoning machine". woman goes out in
the field with
the horde of kids (whose job as we know is
to act as landmine sacrifices for
the mysterious bushes). notices kid eats berries from berry bush, notices kid doesn't die, has some, and
then
tomorrow, and
then
mircea_popescu: a good 2/3 of how girl gets in
trouble. "but i've always done
this".
phf: it's sort of like believing monopoly money is real money, must be a cultural
thing
mircea_popescu: yeah apparently he spent a year
trolling
the internet for "spiritualists" lel.
mircea_popescu: o wow apparently he also got a liver
transplant, which obv comes with imunosupressants.
shinohai: He died of cyanide poisoning from eating all
those crapple seeds
mircea_popescu: or in other words,
traditional medicine is fun while
the fun lasts.
mircea_popescu also sent girl with uti
to buy herself gallon of cranberry juice
the day before
taking same girl
to er because OMFG IT HURTS and pumping her full of nitrofuran.
phf: "every
trained girl must placebo on command"
mircea_popescu has had some occasion
to
try such wonders, like
treated girl's sprain with mustard. it worked on her just as well as generally works, notwithstanding not from
the right culture.
mircea_popescu: and it also works! but w/e, i'm not proposing
this shamanism is medicine.
mircea_popescu will
to
this day drink pepper-decocted-tuica for some
types of colds.
mircea_popescu: a) people want
to do x ; b) people don't weant
to do x ; c) people pick
the more lunatic marginal, make him Priest of X.
mircea_popescu: this is not unlike saying
that
the
teenaged village whore manipulated
the village.
phf: perhaps if some
tribe accidentally learned how
to synth p
they would have "festivals" around it. "doesn't work otherwise"
mircea_popescu: phf hey,
the alcohol as medicine
thing is a joke older
than
those hippies' mothers.
phf knows some hippies
to who refer
to psychedelic mushrooms as "medicine" and stick
to
the whole medical
terminology
throughout. mind you
they
take
them at festivals, but "for medicinal purposes"
mircea_popescu: and ftr in
the "Self administered medication" above i don't just count "performance enhancing psychoactives" but also colodial silver, large servings of c vitamin and for
that matter fucking steroids.
mircea_popescu: i have personally repaired malfunctioning electronics with a well placed hit
to
the side.
