the name "Adlai" appeared in futurama as a character.
mircea_popescu tries
to remember when is
this haloween
thing anyway. 15nov ?
covertress: as we'll have a chance
to discuss first ;)
mircea_popescu: which, ironically, is 50% or more of
the advance a writer could at best hope
to receive from is publisher.
covertress: mircea_popescu i've been asked
to extend you a similar offer...
to write for steemit xD
☟︎ mircea_popescu: Framedragger also, alternately background lines, and a better font plox. or better yet : wipe
that .pre-div { font-family: "Lucida Console", Monaco, monospace;
mod6: trinque pointed
this out
too about, eh, a month ago or so
mod6: "it asks for
this" == buildroot.
mod6: it's ~probably~ not required long
term, but it asks for
this now. so without having
to reconfigure a bunch of buildroot stuff, it goes in.
mircea_popescu pictures postapocalyptic man digging
through rubble. "found anything ?" "i dunno... HOLY SHIT!
THIS IS PART OF
THE DEEDBOT! WERE RICH!"
thestringpuller: you may even find
the dope satoshi smoked before putting in magic numbers
BingoBoingo: Well, what goes better with sprats
than LSD?
thestringpuller imagines going
to a burn with asciilifeform and him interacting with da hippies.
mod6: my little host isn't very fast, either. which could be
the main bottleneck.

the diebold machines come with a setting, like aks ? you set it on loose or
tightened as fbi dictates ?
mod6: here comes
the whale
trinque: mircea_popescu: aha, will keep running
the latest
trb
mod6: sorry for
the disruption.
trinque: mod6: I'm stopping
the bitcoind on
that box; subsequent ones might be a bit quicker
mod6: <+asciilifeform> mod6:
this incl.
the buildroot deps ? <<
the 14 of 'em yeah
mircea_popescu: how do you bootstrap it, for one ?
the knight issues, how do you handle
those ? list is pretty long
mircea_popescu: yeah. and
they "figure out" by "the palestinians"
telling
them. because
the last
thing
they want is for someone who ACTUALLY DOES among
their ranks
mircea_popescu: "the palestinians" don't want
to level
tel aviv anymore
than
temper
tantrum child wants
to stop breathing.
they just like
to pretend
this want
to get mommy-intl community
to want
to spring for a new bmw.
mircea_popescu: whereas man, especially if sane, is interested in doing not in canning
the deeds.
mircea_popescu: the difference between man, such as heemeyer, and institution, such as "the palestinians", "the government" etc, is
that
the latter is dedicated
to what it could do, and
the preservation and expansion of
that pretense.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform at
the distances involved, even radio works.
mircea_popescu: this is, incidentally, also a part

tubes. whenever ready, fire.
mircea_popescu: moreover, if your battlefield is ground+air,
the weapon suddenly morphs from killdozer
to rocket launcher field.
mircea_popescu: the military equivalent of falling
through a glass pane. it'll fuck you up.
mircea_popescu: in any case, as soviets found out in ww2 right after
the germans found out in ww2,
the modern
town is a nightmare battlefield.
mircea_popescu: also on head of anyone following, and blocking
their access.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform proper approach is
to drive at speed (well,
track speed, 30mph or such)
through column supports.
mircea_popescu: make proper
titanium alloy
tracks and assemblages, you got somethingf.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Likely because as math folk he knew
to maximize hi cost
to
the enemy
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> ah
too late for him ? << Apparently
too late for many of
the cool folk
mircea_popescu: ah look at
that,
thing died just like panthers did : dropped
track.
mircea_popescu: "At one point,
the police put a gigantic piece of construction equipment out
to block Heemeyer's path, but
the Killdozer just fucking made
that shit its bitch,
tossing it aside and nearly flipping it on its back like a cheap hooker in
the process." lol guy has at least one fan
BingoBoingo: Fxd

tardstalk joke from
