mircea_popescu: no soviets in the east ; and no cn/kr/etc permitted to fly. for same "smelly" reason, i suspect. the koreans aren't all that bad these days.
mircea_popescu: raf dominated the east << i mean, the west, of course.
mircea_popescu: nobody will fucking drive ~the largest target that can be found~ in the middle of chaos, what the fuck. an ustard however will find this natural.
mircea_popescu: totally, that's how "postapocalyptic" works. moving barns and dressed women.
mircea_popescu: folk are broken in the fucking head ; just look at current mad max remake : a hot chick THAT IS NOT NAKED driving A TRUCK.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah yeah. which is why the brits generally had to supply the cover.
mircea_popescu: point in case, "losing pilots to marriage stress". if you can't slap the bitch over that running mouth of hers, what the fuck are you going to do in the air ? shoot instagram posts ?
mircea_popescu: so no, the "current" problems aren't current but fucking sturctural. always was a conclave of cowards.
mircea_popescu: but throughout tenure us "ace pilot" consisted ~of "fly stratofortress, armored plane above aa range".
mircea_popescu: (this isn't to say ro is that good ; but the nato planes are shit, and the nato pilots even worse shit)
mircea_popescu: and since then, gimme a break ? for one thing ro destroyed the entire nato force back 9in when was it, 2015 exercise. and for the other, soviets were always better ; and after a brief gap ru is certainly supreme over the usg's rust buckets, since at least 2010s
mircea_popescu: anyway ; there was never actually a time us pilots were remarkable. during the war raf dominated the east and by VERY far japan dominated the east (in fact, the "biologically unfit to fly" jap pilots were the best pilots of the war, hands down). even romania's royal air force had better pilots than fucking usaf, wtf. but anyway, it was mostly brits and germans.
mircea_popescu: this is such claptrap it seems researched by sasha baron cohen
mircea_popescu: "losing the qualitative edge that has had the USAF dominating the air since 1945"
mircea_popescu: but yes, if one's contemplating a cartman career in somalia, coast guard works.
mircea_popescu: the mariens are supposed to be amphibious landers not fuckingpirates.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform very strictly what he says : can't have grunt have this much $$$ assigned to him.
mircea_popescu: anyway ; pilots were universally 2nd lts throughout jet golden era (60s to 80s say). this strictly for mats reason, got it upon completing academy.
mircea_popescu: mccain needed MOST mother ? he's the best kid thereby!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't understand how pantsuit heroism works.
mircea_popescu: hey guise, i know how to to barrel rolls. i played some video games.
mircea_popescu: or, if one prefers, kinda reminescent of the "computer security" crowd. same thing, really.
mircea_popescu: kinda reminescent of the classical abused wife portrait.
mircea_popescu: the things people who decided "to work with the system" will try...
mircea_popescu: just that makes it obvious they should be shot until they submit.
mircea_popescu: "what does warm mean ehre ?" "not zero." "zero what ?" "zero kelvin."
mircea_popescu: but recall your own "remove bs solder through mixing" experiments
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform definitely, wasn't even getting into all of that.
mircea_popescu: nope. iron is very different nation from pb / ag / au / u line.
mircea_popescu: washing machines all over the nation routinely get "lead" out of "barrel".
mircea_popescu: nah, you do what the washing machine does, by hand. your surfactant's prolly going to be a grease.
mircea_popescu: warm enough lead to be workable is not such a big deal, can hold i nhand with leather strap.
mircea_popescu: (the fundamental problem being that lead and iron don't alloy)
mircea_popescu: trinque here's the fun thing : you can actually clean those. contrary to what the idiots think, it's not "permanent" : lead becoms soft enough to push out long before the barel's actually fucked by the temp.
mircea_popescu: by VOLUME, i don't mean by fucking mass, that'd be a total blowout.
mircea_popescu has recently seen "the untouchables", a typically idiotic nonsenseyarn (with pre-america ending prettyboy costner). sean connery gets it well and good, and then proceeds to scramble about, his lungs 50% lead.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo don't you just love it, btw, when all sorts of inept modern remakers of "prohibition era" have people machine gunned with the damned thing and then they ... walk ? or something like that ?
mircea_popescu: (oh, also got me #1 and #5 in month top of pops! and #1 today! win!)
mircea_popescu: nevertheless -- it also produced in excess of a quarter bn base value of minerals for me!
mircea_popescu: it sometimes fails for me too, but i've not yet been able to get enough of a fix on it to report something useful.
mircea_popescu: erexcited nonsense. consequently -- if sex includes buttseks, the butt will open up during sex, just like dogs drool when hearing the bell, and through exactly the same mechanisms for exactly the same reasons.)
mircea_popescu: (ah, note also the greedily opening butthole. this happens, in girls that regularily take it up the ass, because sexuality, as a subjective psychological construct, as well as sexual function, as a matter of physiology, are both TRAINED BEHAVIOURS, and absolutely nothing else ; certainly not some kind of "path to truth" or "deeply genuine and unfalsifiable expression of the self" or any of that 1900s "reformist" protestant ov
mircea_popescu: whoever the fuck is trying to sell "Indian Sex Mms Free Download. Xxx Madhuri Video. Porn Sex India Video. Indian Schoolgirl Sex Tube" etc.
mircea_popescu: vagina ain't the fucking vaginal opening. it's not a hole anymore the colon's a hole.
mircea_popescu: maybe we should have a log histogram done and then create a "unicode log keyboard". top 102 words get to go on the keys.
mircea_popescu: check it out asciilifeform ; he's working towards a new kbd standard.
mircea_popescu: just like average hottie doesn't go "but tell me, have you noticed my tits" for 3rd date conversation -- sure as fuck if you've made it three dates he did notice the tits, yes.
mircea_popescu: and so, if upon seeing noob in #trilema person thinks "hey, this might've been someone interested in #pizarro", what person is really thinking is "shit, we're doing a terrible job of communicating #pizarro". because in any other case, they should've known ~already~ whether wanderer is or isn't interested.
mircea_popescu: management in the end very much like medicine : if person leaks from the belly upon taking a drink of water, odds are person's belly got an extra hole. if urine is sweet were should be salty, odds are too much sweets somewhere. etcetera.
mircea_popescu: but i'm also sure our funels are slack by that sure and unerring sign, that noobs wander in ~here~. it's 1000% easier to get someone interested in "bicoin mmo" than in terrorist organisation ; and maybe 5000% easier to get them interested in "clean reliable hosting". so if in spite of that immense differential #trilema still beats out #pizarro, it means the pizarro funel works at 0.2% efficiency at the very most. which can't
mircea_popescu: i'd love nothing more than a bunch of these from logs.bvulpes.com/pizarro !
mircea_popescu: that's all i'm saying, not that pizarro's no good or anything in the vein, but that the flow flows like it flows. republic mgiht pick some people from pizarro rooster for enoblement, not pizarro might pick some people from lordship for making a sale.
mircea_popescu: sure, in principle. but different doors, the set of considerations for "can be in #trilema" can't possibly include "pizarro might want to sell him something". it's like proposing people wandering into the white house shouldn't be kicked out because what if obama wants to give them a shoeshine ?
