mircea_popescu: i doubt it'd be effective. you'd end up with a nine
ton car.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: industries and markets are. ideas only wish
to be.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: why do you keep
throwing around 'sane' like it means what you want it
to mean ?

there still isn't.
this is like saying "before emperor
took a shit in
the soup bowl
there was no
turdsoup." sure, now
there is,
technically, but it still ain't soup in
the sense, "i'd want
to eat
that". i dun
think at any point
the notion
that if you
tape many cellphone batteries
together you get A LARGER BATTERY/firehazard.

to anon is his way of preserving his "name" so it doesn't drown in better names?
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-28#1511097 << he doesn't know why he wants it ; but
the larger
thing
that he's
trying, unknowingly,
to be, ie "mainstream media"
thrives on anonimity because
then greenwald, ie self-appointed derp of no value or importance, can ride on "anon" back all
the way
to
the bank. it's a mental model
that gets all
the journawhores wet.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2016-07-28 22:37 asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: petrol car only looks like a great deal because no one hangs you upside down and rubs yer nose in
the externalities.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-28#1511094 << last i recall, it went exactly
the other way around : electric car "great deal" because nobody actually bothers
to point out
the externalities. in fact, ANYTHING BUT PETROL car, ie, "methanol" green car, hydrogen car etc. same deal.
☝︎ a111: Logged on 2016-07-28 22:32 asciilifeform: fact is, prior
to musk
there were no electromobile with ~reasonable range.

☝︎☟︎ a111: Logged on 2016-07-28 21:28 asciilifeform: laugh, but folks have made $millions on 'kickstarter' doing essentially
this.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the guy with
the binary search is pretty good lol.
mircea_popescu: funny how
there's always a "legion in
the sky" at every powerless derp's beak and call. "THE REAL WORLD". orly ? what real world ?
mircea_popescu: poor girl. i wonder what's
the conclusion of average female after sticking finger in blender.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know what "bullet" means
to sluts yes ?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: critiques set detailing in pr0nz
too no doubt
mircea_popescu: watched
them paint it a garish blue once.
they ran out of paint, leaving a footlong section down
the middle.
mircea_popescu: fwiw i can certify as
to accuracy,
this is an actual physical item she pointed out
to me. we had coffee watching it.
ben_vulpes: are asciilifeform and i really
the only ones with our own rss readers?
_FeltPen: actually I mispoke. I meant BTC assets wiki (referred
to wrong
tab). Anyway, I'm having
to refresh my memory on pgp and wot etc. I forgot how good it is.
mircea_popescu: shinohai i'll
take your word for it, srs. dun need screenshots in ma pgp
_FeltPen: thx
to whomever wrote
the guide for
tmsr. very helpful navigating
this stuff.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-28 18:06 asciilifeform: why do people do
this.
ben_vulpes: could fit a few dependopotami on one of
those cylinders
ben_vulpes: “The engine, with a bore of 950 mm and a stroke of 3,460 mm, provides 6,870 kW/cylinder at 80 rpm and 21 bar MEP (in L1) and was introduced as a supplement
to
the successful S90ME-C9/10 engine
types, allowing
the engine
to be further de-rated
thanks
to
the larger cylinder bore and/or fewer cylinders
to be installed.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo:
that's a sexy
tractor if ever i've seen one.
ben_vulpes: BingoBoingo: pshaw
that's not even an engine
a111: Logged on 2016-07-28 17:09 shinohai: mircea_popescu: final results from
twitter campaign over 24 hr.
http://ix.io/18ln ben_vulpes: asciilifeform:
this is a new point in
the logs?
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: was rockefeller usgtronic ? i seem
to recall him having bought and paid for congress, not
the other way around.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: but pictures bugatti is only production car
that would fit
the 16cyl bill
ben_vulpes: "for 7.5k i'd expect you bought
the 2-turbo model, but can you check
to see if it has 2 or 3? sometimes
the factory bolted a spare on."
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: nah, i'm just yanking chains.
twas 2x8cyl maths.
ben_vulpes: heh was actually looking at a
trashcan nissan on craigslist
the other day. someone wanted 7.5k for it.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nah pete is entering his ride in
the
tractor pull
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: for as long as
the usg provides for my externalizing onto its citizens, i will do so.
ben_vulpes: i have 12 cylinders of hate
that need
to
turn over
twice a month.
ben_vulpes: fuck
that i'm going
to
take
the shithead state for all it's worth.
BingoBoingo: From "bitcoinist.net" betting picks "Although Woodley has shown some cardio issues in
the past and does carry a lot of muscle mass
that can produce fatigue, I
think
this fight will go over 2.5 rounds." << ROLFMAO
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i've done
the math and i'll pay
the marginal cost in exchange for filling up when i want, where i want, and everywhere between here and
timbuktoo
pete_dushenski: didn't i recently link
that piece about
the exorbitant cost of public electric car charging stations ? and
the lines
that form waiting for
them ?
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: i prefer
to
think of it as 'albertade' but ok. not like charging cars is phree.
_FeltPen: Bingo - you're fine, just at work
too. damn phone keeps ringing.
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski>
the elise, evora, exige do, yes. << Not Lotus cars. Last Lotus was
the Model 7
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes: and
their value in general. maybe asciilifeform likes
that leccy cars are 'cleaner' but $10k for a new battery pack every decade ? nothx.
BingoBoingo: Sorry if I appear rude. Encouragement doesn't
translate well over
text.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: derpy's gotta swim
towards
the usg-lifepreserver somehow
ben_vulpes: mega problem with
the resale value of
the roadsters.
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: i'm going
to go out on a limb and bet
that battery is shot
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform:
that's sorta
the definition of externalities.

pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: no dispute on musk's contribution
to range. but it's still like making
the best ipad ~intheworld~. call it what you want but it's a poor replacement for a workstation, just as is electric car for gas car.
pete_dushenski: just, it was a 1.8L, but 'rover' made engine in
the early lotus elise
ben_vulpes: would *love*
to have pushed one of
the electric-drive ones around. not as a useful car
thing, but as a dope little driving chassis with an electric powertrain.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-28 22:30 pete_dushenski: musk
took a lotus rolling chassis, added 5k laptop batteries, cobbled
the whole
thing
together in
true british shedding fashion, and sold
the result
to a few demokrats and even more investors
pete_dushenski: ben_vulpes:
they supposedly drive well. but
they're still british (ie. won't start when cloudy)
ben_vulpes: i
thought
they were moderately expensive, barebones, fast and stiff little vehicles
