BingoBoingo: People say cocaine is
a hell of
a drug, but Mag Citrate accomplishes its job much more thoroughly/
BingoBoingo: KRS1: Well, while I was
a TA in library school I sat in on prolly 3/4 of the pharmacy school curriculum
BingoBoingo: Well, taking morphine orally you lose roughly 90% of the active drug product and get
a lot of that 90% converted to undesirable drug product.
KRS1: that would make for
a great relaxing weekend
BingoBoingo: Going off of
a calulator right here 2300 mg would take me to the minimum therapeutic dose for my weigt and alcohol tolerance
KRS1: i am in
a good position to make some damn good sizzup actually lol just realized it
BingoBoingo: Anyways I tend not to get cars newer than 10 years old because I like
a sound motor with some history
Mats_cd03: electric cars are
a great revolution for urban areas
BingoBoingo: I say this only being partially informed on the battery issue and finding Renata silver oxide batteries to be near
a miracle.
BingoBoingo: Miles might be
a great measure for time and distance, but in the case of batteries years is probably the best measure.
Mats_cd03:
a study ive seen shows that the battery remains about 85% capacity after 100k mi
Mats_cd03: actually id love to own
a car period
Mats_cd03: like
a trip to the edge of space,
a tesla utility truck perhaps
Mats_cd03: theres
a revolution in payments just lurking
BingoBoingo: Right and they can keep some token amount of BTC in Multibit or get
a fucking prepaid credit card
Mats_cd03: i believe theres
a good number of people who would like to spend money online but can't because they dont have
a credit or debit card
BingoBoingo: Mats_cd03: Look into S.NSA which is
a joint venture of mircea and stan. Look at all of the inconveniences security imposes. Can you imagine how small the sctual audience for such things is
Mats_cd03: i feel like i'm talking to
a really smart robot
Mats_cd03: make
a clone of that and have the company sell the cards along with prepaid credit cards refillable with bitcoin
BingoBoingo: Fuck that. My thinkpad isn't to heavy to carry
a walking around wallet. Do you think I'm some sort of fairy or something.
Mats_cd03: i have an idea for
a bitcoin business
BingoBoingo: I just want
a car that can die with dignity
BingoBoingo: I just don't much care for cars who can't as they end their life compete with some success in
a demolition derby
Mats_cd03: i sat in one, its pretty nice...its like
a prius with the instant heat but comfortable too
BingoBoingo: Mats_cd03: I'd rather buy
a Pontiac Aztek. Those are fun.
Mats_cd03: if you cant think of
a bitcoin business then buy
a tesla
BingoBoingo: Because people mistakenly think SwC chat is
a decent place to trade shit.
BingoBoingo: Mats_cd03: In some circumstances. I prefer sports and event betting as
a revenue stream, but taking throwaway money to poker can be fun.
Mats_cd03: if you do, you should read
a book and then play on swc
BingoBoingo: Mats_cd03: I know. Very bitcoin problem. Lacking
a business idea te only way to spend BTC is entertainment by people who desperately want Btc
BingoBoingo: As someone who due to
a mismatch between the size of my jaw and 8 extra molars who wanted to live there doubt I'd extract any teeth of my own for BTC. I wonder how other people might price this though.
BingoBoingo: You know there was
a buttcoin conversation earlier. I wonder what the value of
a bit tooth is...
Mats_cd03: kentucky is
a sucker for good looks
BingoBoingo: Can't believed the author of that article uses "morning beer" in
a derogatory sense.
kakobrekla: i got
a few different ones to try, nothing mechanical yet
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: You don't know how much I shopped for such
a thing after reading that post. There's the plastic crap one where "experienced typists" get 25wpm and brag about it.
kakobrekla: well it is
a complete makeover and lots of experimentation
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: Enforce in the WoT
a law of the Buttcoins, No one can redeem the same pooper twice with
a sharpie
kakobrekla: i recently got
a new hobby, mostly asciilifeform fault
BingoBoingo: Seems to have worked before for at least
a while. Just have to remember to to use Ruby on Rails.
kakobrekla: yea, and we can like make tradedable cards from these buttcoins and make like
a dedicate online exchange, and when we like feel like its not going well, start trading btc:usd and keep the name
BingoBoingo: I dunno if
a buttcoin is worth more than 0.01 BTC anymore nao
BingoBoingo: Well, he only wanted .000001btc seems like
a bargain
BingoBoingo: I was going to ask if he had
a sharpie and
a camera
KRS1: Then I come in here and I feel at least
a little better.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I think this hits back to
a problem you and Joel on Software raise. Thinking in C, the solution to bugs seems to almost necessarily involve creating more code as opposed to trimming problematic code.
BingoBoingo: Well, other than trying progressively older versions of OpenBSD I dunno if there is
a solution to Unix bloat.
mircea_popescu: the only way to get an "educated populace" is to constuct
a hierarchy, where 90% are enforced into slavery, and then the 10% at the top have
a good incentive to be educated
herbijudlestoids: especially if youve got something to lose, like
a girlfriend or family
chetty: yeah well close the door is the first step. then you can blow up the buildings one at
a time
herbijudlestoids: there is no way you should be able to be the head of some important decision making function at the USDA and then in
a week go work for monsanto
mircea_popescu: don't say he's
a grown-up trayvon. anything but pointing out teh obvious.
mircea_popescu: not that such
a thing should ever be said to anyone in any context, let alone in response to "hi lol, we hardcoded random shit because magic strings are cool"
herbijudlestoids: hehe tim cook aapl ceo says there is no backdoor in aapl products but since they are under
a gag order he cant prove it
nubbins`: the first time
a machine made me feel fear was when the snow monster popped out at me for the first time
mircea_popescu: nubbins` i always liked the part where it's "sir graham the hero". esp for
a romanian speaker it was like Sir Breadloaf
nubbins`: they re-released king's quest 3
a couple years ago, i gave it
a shot
nubbins`: i mean, i got through them fine as
a kid, maybe i had more patience back then
BingoBoingo: It was the summer before I started High School. I had gone that long without
a computer and decided fuck it, I'm getting several.
nubbins`: had this golf game where you had the option to print your scores at the end. we didn't have
a printer; my dad tried to explain it to me, and i couldn't wrap my head around it
nubbins`: my first pc was
a tandy 1000sx
the20year2:
A local school threw out
a bunch of older 386 PCs with 20mb drives, they were huge
BingoBoingo: The Classics had 40 MB hard drives, the SE/30 came to me with
a 20 MB hard drive.
BingoBoingo: I also have
a few Mac Classics and Classic II's which had 1 MB of Ram. Cannabalized 4 of them to give one classic 4 MB of RAM (cheaper to get whole machines than sticks) Had to order RAM to beef up the SE/30 though
BingoBoingo: The old SE/30 was 4MB when I picked it up at
a school auction for $10
BingoBoingo: I still miss 128 MB of Ram in
a compact desktop sold in
a time such things were rather unimaginable.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: These are the great problems of our times. Getting hardware worth using to work again is
a challenge.
BingoBoingo: I imagine speed element plays in too. That may play into why so few in US casino industry are trying to fight to expand regulated sports and event gambling to new jurisdictions. The few hours it takes
a sporting contest to resolve is something I don't know if they can comprehend compared to the seconds
a slot takes. May as well be an eternity.
mike_c: carribean stud tries to do that with
a table game
