mircea_popescu: can it be set so it scans every minute, on a diff second by the blog list ?
mircea_popescu: cazalla $2 a day can't be a lot if you're stuck with a $500 piece of machinery + the bills for its maintenance.
mircea_popescu: having the skin covered in hair seems evolutionarily beneficial.
mircea_popescu: there's nothing wrong with peripheral hairs, is what i'm saying. the idea is to not have hair in the core, on the liver, inside the lungs.
mircea_popescu: "I do not now nor will I ever care about the "readability" or "elegance" of (codebases worth 5 bux)."

mircea_popescu: im sure one can buy an ak if one asks for it in romanian tho :D
mircea_popescu: i've really not kept up with it. maybe not, they're commies.
mircea_popescu: i can scarcely imagine what i would want an old assault rifle for.
mircea_popescu: yeah, except in a society that does this everyone's doing something else stupid to compensate willy-nilly.
mircea_popescu: i'd rather have 10 cops that have a ld50 dose of 3 shooting assailants than 10k cops that basically constitute ballistic sacks.
mircea_popescu: should they call home and have an adult male take them in hand ?
mircea_popescu: should they carry mace and avoid walking alone at night to the car ?
mircea_popescu: is the paris police force in danger of rape ? what's next ?
mircea_popescu: this isn't a "and they run into a cop while he had his back turned and shot him dead". this is "french police reliably can not hold its own against determined assailants". well...
mircea_popescu: on one hand, because a lot means they're expensive, and taken from more useful stuff. on the other, because if the cop can't hold his own then why even have him.
mircea_popescu: but that's exactly my problem here. there are A LOT of derps masquerading as cops. neither of these is good.
mircea_popescu: so. ran into a random patrol. shot at them. moved on, ran into another. shot at them too. ran into random cop. shot him too.
mircea_popescu: nouvelle fusillade: un policier, âgé d’une trentaine d’années et rattaché au commissariat du XIe arrondissement, est touché puis froidement abattu au sol.
mircea_popescu: En quittant les locaux, les assaillants tombent sur un véhicule de police en ressortant dans la rue. Ils ouvrent à nouveau le feu avant de remonter à bord de leur Citroën. Une course-poursuite s'engage. Ils empruntent l’allée verte, une rue perpendiculaire à celle du siège de Charlie Hebdo. Croisent une autre patrouille de policiers, en VTT. Nouveaux tirs, sans victime. Arrivé sur le boulevard Richard-Lenoir,
mircea_popescu: how the fuck do you run into three police cars doing three miles in the utter periphery ?
mircea_popescu: what was it, 19th arrondisment ? that's like... barracas, basically.
mircea_popescu: they don't stop crime, they just bother the 0.x% remaining parisians who actually have a job that's not enacted by hollande's fiat
mircea_popescu: NONE of which manage to do anything but get shot. why even call them police then ? what are they for, hussling people, right ?
mircea_popescu: davout anyway, epic fucking police state you got there. so, some people driving through the armpit of paris run into three police patrols. because wtf, 30% of all paris works as cops or something ?
mircea_popescu: if you want a gun legally, you should instead buy a cop.
mircea_popescu: legitimate questions, all fo them. and they always get the same answer, of course. but irrespective of how well the cowboy manages to re-adjust
mircea_popescu: "Mother do you think they'll drop the bomb ? Mother do you think they'll like the song ? Mother do you think they'll try to break my balls ?"
mircea_popescu: not at all what i mean. consider the difference between say, a carpertner apprentice and a cowboy apprentice, both 15 in 1915.
mircea_popescu: something like "tom sawyer pinched himself and saw that he was flesh and blood like any man".
mircea_popescu: obviously that process only works in a narrow conventional field, to the degree it might as well be a literary device. but literary characters are not necessarily aware of their conventional nature.
mircea_popescu: yeah, perianne boring is a product of a process, rather than a person.
mircea_popescu: only a minority of which with visible cum stains on dress/hair
mircea_popescu: but yes, decimation has a good point. nothing brings the abandonment of that republic clearer in view than going through its halls while on business.
mircea_popescu: "In 1980, the average Politburo member was 70 years old, as opposed to 55 in 1952 and 61 in 1964." << in this view the soviets fell because they couldn't find enough 85 yos for the 90s
mircea_popescu: i dunno. you can get plenty of such assets by simply catching aids.
mircea_popescu: decimation perhaps. it only works if young women buy into ti tho.
mircea_popescu: jurov brings a very interesting question re supporting eulora. we could in principle drop 32 bit support. now, if this were a crypto thing or any such high assurance system i'd never consider it. but it's a game.
mircea_popescu: generally because the living standards decay is obvious to the younger men.
mircea_popescu: gerontocracy is necessarily a failure mode of soviet states
mircea_popescu: prolly help if it were signed / dated, but that's not such a big deal.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes what more than "here's the db" which nano already does ?
mircea_popescu: i wonder if there should be some sort of tracked or maybe flexible wing roof remover ? like a huge can opener.
