asciilifeform: the hard part, as always, isn't the plane/boat ticket, but the destination. most of south america was wide open to ww2 refugees; few went.
asciilifeform: afaik they do this routinely with ww2-plunder art, etc
asciilifeform: re: eagle coins: if i'm found with 'toyota' and no titles, receipts, etc. and a dealership whined about being short of exactly one such...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: as in, the judge read pediwikia to them during sentencing?
asciilifeform: suddenly no office supply warehouse is above suspicion.
asciilifeform: wait till they catch someone burning goodies on CD-R and re-shrinkwrapping the sausage.
asciilifeform: 'hiring! one fellow willing to desolder 500 roms from Sybolics Lisp Machine.'
asciilifeform: are they gonna search the hundreds of 1980s EEPROMs in my junk boxes when i hang?
asciilifeform: data storage is interesting from the 'what'll the polize do' standpoint☟︎
asciilifeform: order the coin/fake bolt/etc. and your address is on The List (TM)
asciilifeform: 'spy-coins' shop would make a spiffy honeypot
asciilifeform: it's very easy - wanna open a bank safe box? there'll be a polizei watching, removing anything shiny and yellow, 'at fair market price.'
asciilifeform: you could probably write arbitrary pixels to it easily enough
asciilifeform: i thought 'glass' was just a peripheral for the 'android phone' ?
asciilifeform: not so neat. turned a perfectly good machine into an envelope full of parts that will never work again...
asciilifeform: pigeons: funnily, the only game console i've ever bought was virtual boy. to tear apart for the optics, when trying to build a binocular version of the p4.
asciilifeform: pigeons: you will get headache from the monocle long before the foam sticks to your head.
asciilifeform: the20year: i think he was asking about the ancient monocle display, rather than pentium 4
asciilifeform: thought about selling it, but who would want it.
asciilifeform: it buzzes slightly. vibrating mirror.
asciilifeform: (even though there are moving parts inside!)
asciilifeform: the widget itself still works just as it ought to.
asciilifeform: that foam began to rot into dust long ago.
asciilifeform: still waiting to see how google's hmd stacks up against my 'p4'
asciilifeform: that isn't made by Boeing and doesn't cost $100k
asciilifeform: jcpham: you can watch film on the $100 chinese hmd that's been around for years. the point of google's was ostensibly a display with svga res that you could actually read text on
asciilifeform: 'what, stereo vision? i wasn't really using that for anything!'
asciilifeform: phun phact: finally got in the mail: set of vacuum lifter tips. made of high-temp rubber by: Buna! (only ever heard that name in the context of Auschwitz III. had no idea the brand still existed!)
