the character is often looking at
the difference between 500,000 and 1,000,000 XP, neither of which are likely
to be realized
through normal adventuring, so blessing
the potion makes little difference."
mircea_popescu: t
there is little point in blessing a potion before quaffing, because it's likely
the only way you will level up is via potions and wraith corpses. For example, a 5th level character who drinks an uncursed potion would be set
to 6th level at 320 XP, versus 480 with a blessed potion.
The difference
to reach 7th level is 320 (if uncursed was drunk) vs 160 (if blessed was drunk) which is an attainable goal. On
the other hand, ab
mircea_popescu: holy shit, wikis rot
the brain. check out
this doozy from nethackwiki.com : "If attempting
to gain experience levels, blessing potions of gain level before drinking
them makes more sense earlier in
the game
than later, because at high levels
the number of experience points needed
to level up
through normal adventuring is so high
that it's rarely done. At higher experience levels,
the number of XP between levels is so huge

mircea_popescu: somebody with a lot more
time
than sense should probably make a libertardwiki, explaining all
the
things
that ARE
TRUE!!! such as you know,
the nazis were
this historical group of white men who didn't believe global warming is caused by internet
trolls.
trinque: if
that's not
the connection, I'm out of ideas
mircea_popescu: dun
tell me, let me guess,
the jews are going
to
tell everyone what's what as part of everyone's effort
to get rid of
them ?
mircea_popescu: uh never heard of
this guy, what "carefully crafted face of
the so-called alt-right" ?
hanbot: asciilifeform> write
to 'funker vogt'
then... << why not wumpscut
too lol
mircea_popescu: hey,
this entire
thing is constructed on "try but don't depend"
Framedragger: (may
take a while for her
to get back
to me, so don't have super high hopes - will let you know either way
tho!)
mircea_popescu: prolly best internet brownie points if sung in a very idish-y german, come
to
think of it.
mircea_popescu is half-considering actually paying someone who isn't fucking christoph holzhofer
to sing
this
thing. with a manly voice and proper arrangement not whatever
the fuck
that beseeching woody allen-wannabe voice + pothead "feminist" guitar drang.
mircea_popescu: ah
there, Schmier die Guillotine, schmier die Guillotine, schmier die Guillotine Mit
Tyrannenfett.
mircea_popescu: there's
tons of
them,
the commies had one
too, something with guillotine.
mircea_popescu: people do rewrite
their own songs, like i do all
the
time on
trilema etc.
mircea_popescu: Eine antisemitische Variante, die sich später über ganz Deutschland verbreiten sollte, kam vermutlich im März 1921 bei Freikorps auf, die beim Aufstand in Oberschlesien kämpften und bei denen ein besonders roher Pogrom-Antisemitismus herrschte. In den späteren Jahren der Weimarer Republik ist als Refrain diese antijüdische Version mit
Textteilen des bekannten „Sturmsoldaten“-Liedes, einer zeitgenössischen Soldatenl
mircea_popescu: hey, he;s not sworn in yet. if he is or if he isn't gonna jail
the shrew, he'd still say he isn't.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, in actual lulz :
trump (bannon) is actually making an alt-right party.

taint! its how
the world works!"
trinque: that being - as far as I can
tell -
the only belief of
that sect.
trinque: this weird preoccupation with "say
the words" seems like it came directly from protestant christianity.

transportation of 5 megabyte disk (~1965) (probably IBM 2311?) - i just like
to imagine myself
that
the javascript "libraries" of a simplistic "modern" "website" alone often weigh more
than
that.
ties into
the whole website obesity crisis
thread.
mircea_popescu: well, some uppity av may warn about
that, so best keep it in
the past few years
mircea_popescu: "i use x
thing because it worked fine before" is exactly how animals get infected after all. biologically i mean.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i'd suspect
this is actually
the main entry intake for botnet chumpatron.
mircea_popescu: so no,
that slashdot, or softpedia, or whoever else was caught doing it is not some sort of exception.
mircea_popescu: anyway, given
the mechanics of
the retarded user and of viral infection, i would suspect 100% of
these download-things websites selectively scam
their users.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform o look at
that, i even ended up with a "RunMe.exe"
mircea_popescu: my question at
this point would be, PPL! Y SO SPECIAL!
mircea_popescu: and in random fuck
this shit : if you're downloading a bunch of fonts and end up with a humongo pile of spurious folders because hey, people are special,
the pill is find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 -I file mv --backup=numbered file . (followed, probably, by for file in *; do mv "$file" `echo $file |
tr ' ' '_'` ; done because special people are
THAT FUCKING SPECIAL)
trinque: phf: could I get a URL endpoint on btcbase.org/log which redirects

Joshua-I: Thanks for
taking
the
time
to give me your input. Have a good night
Joshua-I: Well my visit doesn't have
to be a complete waste, since I was just going
to ask you what your preferred payment is
Joshua-I: I
think it's scattered across 7 planets or something
mircea_popescu: so you work with a guy
that hasn't rated you doing
things. mkay ?
Joshua-I: mircea_popescu I work with gabe running
the business side of
things
Joshua-I: Since
the product has been validated I'll be working on making operations smoother
Joshua-I: I'm believe gabe came by pitching masamune and you wanted
to purchase?

to full weight bearing on lower extremities now
that his rigor mortis has fully set in,”
BingoBoingo: "Despite uneventful Q1 hour cold calorics, weekly MRIs, a record breaking 1,500-hour continuous EEG, and a clinical exam consistent with unquestionable brain death,
the patient remained a ‘full code’ at

The patient’s family insisted
that he has “always been a fighter.”"

they're still not accepting
