asciilifeform: (per mr mold)

asciilifeform: 4th

asciilifeform: pankkake: what's next >> clitler.

asciilifeform: aye

asciilifeform: alternatively, a 'stalin' biography, our führer is soon to fail out of bob jones bible college.

asciilifeform: see the 'insider trading' prosecutions in usa, for example./

asciilifeform: and never any other thing

asciilifeform: 'fight corruption' is always 'fight the other fellow's corruption so i can cash in'

asciilifeform: obvious - to us. but, apparently, not to the folks who desperately wanted a return to whichever century they connected their childhood with

asciilifeform: !s you and the atomic bomb

asciilifeform: obligatory:

asciilifeform: herr Richthofen, however, understood that if your agrarian paradise can't produce airplanes by the thousand, it is the prison bitch of the folks who can.

asciilifeform: gandhi wanted precisely this, in his motherland - but for some reason nobody remembers.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it was loudly, repeatedly 'debunked' by the mouthpiece organs

asciilifeform: chetty: example: http://www.bizpacreview.com/2014/04/12/bombshell-harry-reid-behind-bundy-cattle-ranch-scandal-according-to-purged-documents-112136

asciilifeform: see earlier example with solar plant contractor

asciilifeform: chetty: don't imagine anyone actually gives a shit about rare mouse

asciilifeform: chetty: another solar farm racket ?

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: if roaches could think - we would probably cite their thoughts at their tribunals

asciilifeform: well, we kill cockroaches, mice, etc. without imagining that they'll ever really run out

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as described here: http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-rationale-behind-boston-psy-ops.html

asciilifeform: orlov.

asciilifeform: one russian fellow (forget which) called the scheme 'colony with the state as sole european'

asciilifeform: 'internal recolonialization'

asciilifeform: that was sorta the thesis of the article

asciilifeform: seemingly inexplicably, some of the dumbest people alive.

asciilifeform: trojan artists

asciilifeform: it's considerably funnier when crapware authors hardcode 'showmyip' or similar.

asciilifeform: chetty: the only birth control that works on the 'lumpen' folks is the kind pitched by Captain Aguilera.

asciilifeform: chetty: it only works on people who... use it

asciilifeform: http://birdmartin.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/dependapotamus1.gif

asciilifeform: ;;ud dependopotamus

asciilifeform: though to some extent you can get around this by 'cycling' the females faster (see the mormon, or arab, practice of marrying off daughters at X but sons at 3X age)

asciilifeform: as i understand, harem as SOP is a recipe that has to include a 'meat grinder' (for burning off the untermenschen)

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: a bit. but this is the only english language bio of the famous Conde de Alba de Yeltes.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: http://pastebin.com/Ni7t20wY

asciilifeform: !s the answer lies in the sewers

asciilifeform: '80% of the population must eat when it can, not when it wants' >>

asciilifeform: ;;later tell mircea_popescu http://www.sfgate.com/news/science/article/Chinese-woman-charged-in-trade-secrets-theft-case-5595772.php

asciilifeform: usually it turns into a war on nail clippers, pocket knives, etc

asciilifeform: but this year, saw no such thing

asciilifeform: they used to actually search people at the checkpoints

asciilifeform: if you can stomach the 'sardine can' trains

asciilifeform: you can still come and go to the mall on the 4th

asciilifeform: they contain (unarmed) grunts

asciilifeform: not on any semblance of parade, but just for 'security theatre'

asciilifeform: on july 4 festival

asciilifeform: funny thing is, they trot out these ancient trucks every year

asciilifeform: and was not, afaik, advertised for sale.

asciilifeform: that one, if it wasn't clear, was spotted in the wild.

asciilifeform: decimation: it was the same kind - but not the particular truck pictured in the linked photo

asciilifeform: next to garbage trucks, buses, tractors, etc.

asciilifeform: it stood in a university surplus lot

asciilifeform: but there it was.

asciilifeform: plus i have no real use for such a thing

asciilifeform: (realized that it would be ruinously expensive to fuel.)

asciilifeform: truck. but i didn't buy it

asciilifeform: some of these are very stable (if it survives your metabolic paths, it will probably survive the treatment plant)

asciilifeform: decimation: pharma crud.

asciilifeform: an outage that lasts a week or so is not 'zombie apocalypse' - however, any longer and you learn things like http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-06-2014#735017 ☝︎

asciilifeform: funny part is, the net pipe is really the only thing around here that actually works as advertised. the mains, water, sewer - i had detectable problems with. the fiber - never.

asciilifeform: yes, it is.

asciilifeform: my own needs are very modest.

asciilifeform: decimation: pay more, get fatter slice.

asciilifeform: decimation: in these parts, the multiplexers are nailed to poles.

asciilifeform: decimation: you can buy pretty much arbitrary bandwidth from them, the physical connection (fiber) is all the same.

asciilifeform: decimation: nope. ~35 out.

asciilifeform: decimation: verizon

asciilifeform: unrelated - nick szabo is back?

asciilifeform: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/07/dos-boot-ars-spends-a-day-working-in-freedos

asciilifeform: ('human' grade, no 'qos' etc.)

asciilifeform: (Mb/sec)

asciilifeform: (100 usd buys ~100MB for 1mo. here in mordor.)

asciilifeform: *olympics

asciilifeform: damn, missed the 'isp suction olymnics' again.

asciilifeform: re: apple batteries: they come out. you just need a hot air blower.

asciilifeform: alternatively, poisonous gasses instead of explosion, etc

asciilifeform: but in the case of laptop - sure

asciilifeform: not other than through blowing a new porthole, taking out atmosphere

asciilifeform: (has perhaps 50 grams of pyrotechnics)

asciilifeform: note that the famous israeli 'beheading phone' was functional.

asciilifeform: 'security agents may ask travelers to turn on their electronic devices at checkpoints and if they do not have power, the devices will not be allowed on planes' << this has been a thing for a while. never really made sense. as if it were necessary to replace the entire battery with, e.g. hexagen - instead of merely half of it - to demolish the plane.

asciilifeform: a bit harder for flying machines, esp. small ones

asciilifeform: well, sealing for men, trucks

asciilifeform: decimation, mircea_popescu: with modern flying/swimming/walking mines, actually sealing a border is probably more feasible than ever before.

asciilifeform: benkay: use some object as a plumber's bob

asciilifeform: benkay: unless you strip the screw...

asciilifeform: benkay: me (as a boy. then cured spontaneously. how? no idea.)

asciilifeform wants to move to mircea_popescu's planet, where proxies are rare and womenz are common

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: hungarian proxy, costs what, a penny

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: rather than an uncommonly poor spammer, mr spam is quite likely an uncommonly poor something-else - with a very thin spam cover.

asciilifeform: just thought that folks ought to be given a handy 'crucifix' against mr spam

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: BigBitz: http://www.loper-os.org/pub/ninjashogun.txt - if not already seen

asciilifeform: BigBitz: afaik most of the regular here read the logs.

asciilifeform: almost certainly a misconfigured refer-header spamatron.

asciilifeform: lol
