to find it so far, i
think it's
the one where we
talked about looking
through dirt for useful synths and how nobody is doing it (but when
they do
they get mad gains)
mircea_popescu: (to be clear : 14F catheter is inserted in
the lus (lower uterine segment).
the baloon is
then inflated
to ~5ml, and under light
traction 100ml of 0.15% solutin in introduced as drip over 10 minutes. no antibiotics needed, abortion occurs within hours.)

think I would
trust
the purity of something made in somebodies garage
to not have dangerous impurities
PeterL: I've never made a multi-stage rocket, but me and my kids made a rocket out of a soda bottle and powered it with isopropanol,
that was pretty fun
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: re: woods << wasn't
this
the premise of October Sky (the rocket boys?!?) from West VA back in
the 50's?
thestringpuller: just cause you can buy weight from
the comfort of your mom's basement does not mean you have capacity
to sling said dope on street.
thestringpuller: i.e. "You're
the guy who wasn't good enough
to sling dope."
thestringpuller: which ironically in
th elocale legend a farmer launched a
two stage rocket into
the sea from here
thestringpuller: luckily you don't have
to go
through great lengths
to bribe local county airport in bumfuck no where
thestringpuller: this is exactly why guys in suits show up
to your front door if you launch a multistage "model rocket" from your back yard
a111: Logged on 2016-10-17 05:10 mircea_popescu: no, you can't do
that, because air friction.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: as systems engineer, charges are complex, and 'simple' 'v'
that 'doesn't get me
that far' gets me pretty far.
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: what application for
thermite, armor?
PeterL: IIRC,
they were slightly
too big and fell under
the "dangerous weapons" regulations anyway, should have gone all
the way
to mini-rpg
ben_vulpes: trade
the explosive for a bit of mass and a bit more propellant.
PeterL: should have made round slightly bigger, allow carrying explosive
to
target
PeterL: gyrojet is so futuristic weapon, shame it didn't make
the cut
ben_vulpes: as evidenced by
the usg-blessed rocketry associations insistent whine
that rockets may only go up.
PeterL is not metalurgist, does not know how much variation goes into
these
things
PeterL: I suspect
this would depend on
the year of
the
truck?
PeterL: I assume
that postapocalypse world you start by building small plane, learn
to fly
that, before moving onto mig
PeterL: I mean, not specifically wikipedia, just
there are a lot of
topics
that each connect
to one another
PeterL: you end up needing something like wikipedia
to hold it all
PeterL: yes, I have
thought about
this
PeterL: so we need a sort of "frozen" archive of "how
to make X, which you need
to make Y", sort of like how
trb has frozen deps
☟︎ PeterL: until you go all
the way back
to common starting materials,
then it is final solution
PeterL: have you ever done separations of organics
trying
to get a very low percentage product into something usable?
PeterL: it would still be much easier
to generate a synthetic pathway from what is available
PeterL: what would be
the purpose of
this?
☟︎ phf: wait, i'm missing
the punchline. i guess brute force here means,
that you don't have an optimal process, but rather exploit given environment
to achieve objective no matter what?
PeterL: blast it and see what you get out kinda
thing?
PeterL: not a very selective way of doing
things
though
phf: failing
to find it so far, i
think it's
the one where we
talked about looking
through dirt for useful synths and how nobody is doing it (but when
they do
they get mad gains)
☟︎ phf: used
to be one of
the first image hits for "dmt synthesis", a screenshot of a chanboard poast of making dmta "out of household objects"
☟︎ phf: hmm, pretty sure
the image is explicitly filtered out by google now :o
phf: you ever seen
that dmt guide
PeterL: depends on if
there is an easy starting material, I'm still reading up on it
PeterL: I guess if you are looking for a DIY abortion, impurities would be low on your scale of
things
to worry about
PeterL: If I were a woman, I don't
think I would
trust
the purity of something made in somebodies garage
to not have dangerous impurities
☟︎ mircea_popescu: of
things for
the stronger
to
take advantage of
the obese shithead and b) anyone could get more buttraped by putin, or
the world generally,
than obama already has.
mircea_popescu: anyway, it's directly evident
the most rabid of libertards realised clinton ain't got it ; and are in
their grief dealing mode. pronouncements
that "the election is rigged" (phrased, of course, as "this was an unedifying year" blabla), assurances
that "whoever wins will be a single
term president" as if
that fixes anything ; even a pretense
that putin will
take advantage of
trump. specifically. as if a) it isn't in
the nature
mircea_popescu: can i be excused if i consider
the matter forever put
to rest, and deem nothing he ever said of any import or conceivable consequence whatsoever ?
mircea_popescu: together with
the bitcoin and
the urbit dispute respectively,
this puts him 0 for 3.
mircea_popescu: That he has been able
to surf
these scandals regularly as little more
than free media opportunities shows
that American democracy is in serious need of rehabilitation." << in my view,
this settles an ancient point of contention curtis yarvin never manned up
to, re "the cathedral" or generally how pervasive, or "in power"
the idiots are.
mircea_popescu: "With Nate Silver putting
Trump on a 28.8 per cent chance of victory, it’s almost unbelievable
that
the race could be so close, given
the consequences. A Russian puppet candidate with shady business affairs who hasn’t disclosed his
tax returns,
Trump has spent his campaign alienating minorities, horrifying women, offending religious and military voters, and having his career of awful business behaviour paraded in public.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ahhh
the libertard butthurt pouring out of
the election coverage is so delicious.
mircea_popescu: no i mean, 0.5% concentrated. 100grams 99% enough
to make 4 gallons of
the stuff.
