thestringpuller: he wrote up a white paper on how one would create meth and compared it
to
the evidence
they collected
thestringpuller: Anyhow, due
to shitty evidence collection, he was able
to show
that with expert
testimonies he would likely be acquitted if it went
to
trial
thestringpuller: well old mentor of mine found sleep
to be his number one enemy. so he decided
to just be on stimulants 24/7 and sleep minimally while staying up late programming assembly code or some non-sense. d00d is as insane as he is smart. okay anyhow he bought
this condo, and at
the
time he was a Ph.D candidate and was like "Meth is awesome I hate sleep!"
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: did I ever
tell you
the story of how my old college mentor, got raided for Meth. And somehow
through self representation was able
to get
the charges reduced
to misdemeanors?
thestringpuller: Most of
the
time law enforcement is like "what is
this? maple syrup?!?"
thestringpuller: But
the actuality is no one rolls around with more
than maybe a half gram of extract.
thestringpuller: in a lab scenario when
the DEA is busting in
they just want
to fuck you as much as
they can because "FREE MONEY"
thestringpuller: as dave chappelle says, we know
the dope laws like lawyers. everytime we do something felonious, an old black dude pops out and says, "hey nigga
thats 10-20"
mats: plus you're in
the perfect demographic
mats: you can recook
the stuff if you're worried about butane
thestringpuller: mats: I know. It makes me sad.
They just want everyone
to be dumb :(
mats: i'm not responsible for
the war on science, just
telling you its a
thing
PeterL: yeesh, I wouldn't want
to consume something extracted with butane!
thestringpuller: PeterL: partially.
They use butane solvents for
the initial extract on
the east coast cause higher yields, but butane sucks.
☟︎ PeterL: maybe
thestringpuller does not
trust
the guys
trying
to sell him stuff, needs
to make of known purity?
thestringpuller: So I'm finally interested in chemistry and now
there is a war on science?
mats: idk what your intention is but ownership and operation of
that equipment is a massive liability
thestringpuller: maybe? once you do fractional distallation
the product is like 99% active ingredient
PeterL: speaking of soxhlet, would
that help
the
thc enthusiast
to get more out of
their materials?

this item looks like something i saw in an amateur chemist's setup, guy was making 'wax',
thc concentrates
mats: your link or
the amateur chemist?
PeterL: washes easily enough, run solvent
through from either direction
PeterL: and less likely
to leak if fewer joints
to finangle
PeterL: the "short" in "short path distilation" is easier
to get with one piece
than if you have
to use part of length for connectors

☟︎ mats: ecuadorian indigenous peoples are ideally slowly starving
to death on whatever subsistence farming
they're doing
mats: just saying, people
that don't contribute anything don't get
to have an opinion
mats: they want
that
to change, gotta stop being useless
mats: these others will be oppressed until
they dun exist, usg or not
mats: its unclear
to me why wikileaks is so ready
to serve ru interests
PeterL: It's one of
those
things where once you see it you can never unsee it
phf: the guy who invented
tiling window managers (tuomo valkonen, he wrote Ion,
that nobody probably remembers at
this point), quit linux in 2005 or so over exactly
these
things. his pet peve was all
the retardation
that was going into x11 as part of linux on desktop movement. of course back
then people laughed at him, etc.

this
thing is informally known as a MFP - if you flip it upside down it looks just like a "man fucking pig" (and grad students find humor in
the weirdest
things)
phf: i'd say peak free software happened around same
time when drivers were still a massive problem. when i moved
to
this country somebody gave me a g3 ibook, which i used for years
to run linux (until i finally caved and switched
to os x). i remember spending as much
time on my fvwm as i did patching orinoco drivers. in fact my first massive foray into kernel hacking was getting
those orinoco drivers
to work for specific combination of
phf: you just forgot how it was in '98. you now have wider range of available shit, so it's
the snr
that has changed.
there was definitely a peak free software where available range also had max hacker value, i.e. intangible quality of buildable, inspectable, etc. but before
that free software was kind of shit with a lot of dyi required.

to michael faraday. don't look for magnetic field lines,
they aren't
there. physically. or as far as we can
tell, anyway.)
phf: fwiw, i suspect
there's as many users of
terrorist os as
there were in
the 90s, or as little. just a lot more users of microshit variety, and also users of obuntus and such,
that scew
the picture
phf: well,
that'll make for a dull show :>
phf: we're on
the same page, but purely from entomology perspective, i, for example, don't know how
two competing groups of
termites behave when joining forces.
PeterL: do ants and
termites get
together
to agree on how
to demolish house?
phf: well, i'm more interested in mechanics of it all, since i don't believe in lizard hitler. do
thugs of both camps meet at
the canteen and measure each other up? are
they going
to embrace mutual scam wholeheartedly? are
they going
to
try and undermine each other in subtle ways?
☟︎ phf: are
they going
to integrate many lulz of systemd? are
they going
to do more dodgy shit, with nameless anons ripping hair on chest with indignation? are
they going
to coexist with freedesktop community, kind of like how one huckster can always recognize another, and keep each other at respectful distance until
there's an opportunity for an underhanded move
phf: i for one am looking forward
to many lulz delivered by powershell fraction of linux on desktop koomoounity
