asciilifeform: re earlier thread, the operetta is not on www, but there is a mary toft 'fan' site... https://theawl.com/how-to-give-birth-to-a-rabbit-18d158f78fcf#.u7n183jgd
shinohai: f2pool announced earlier they will not mine on HF so it promises to be lulzy
Framedragger: more ethereum lols - https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/4t82uq/replay_attack_redux_ef_devs_confirm_the_issue_is/ - so da developers are set on hard forking, but it is super unclear who's gonna support what. etherfolk are startled at the unthinkable possibility of two chains resulting from this mess. whoddathought. quality entertainment!
mircea_popescu: from bmi 30 onwards, each lb of fat carries the same excise as 1 ton of gasoline.
asciilifeform: if you kept equivalent barrel of petrol indoors, fire inspector would tear you 2nd arse

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-17#1503965 << incidentally, a 'volkswagen'-worth of fat mass is quite the fire hazard ☝︎
mircea_popescu now wonders if idea is result of asciilifeform article sitting latent in memory, "forgotten" ; or if genuine case of "the obvious is obvious to all lookers".
asciilifeform: i suspect that ~everybody though of this item at one point.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-17 02:45 mircea_popescu: asciilifeform think of "glove" in the sense of, a cubic foot heavy box you stick hand into, move around
mircea_popescu: does "we take them out back and shoot them if there's any sort of an emergency" count as a plan ?

BingoBoingo: "One spot that is getting more foot traffic than usual is the Jefferson County Jail, which is apparently an official in-game Pokestop, a place where players can gather items and catch Pokemon. One observer recalls seeing players staring at their phones as they walked around the jail's parking lot." http://www.riverfronttimes.com/artsblog/2016/07/14/pokemon-are-popping-up-in-strange-places-around-st-louis
mircea_popescu: if properly made, can have mechanical resistence actually be meaningful (magnetic transmission)

mircea_popescu: jesus this place is pitiful
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: where does the malbec claim to be from?
asciilifeform: but the nixon impersonator!! he was pure genius.
asciilifeform: also the malbec in dc is made from used tyres, it must be
asciilifeform: she is in the logz somewhere. 1720s.
asciilifeform just saw a play about mary toft, the 'rabbit birthing woman'
ben_vulpes: okay yeah that makes sense.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-17 00:57 mircea_popescu: actually a proper, accelerometer based, precision instrument (glove ?) as described here seems a required item, thinking about it.

asciilifeform: it must be stronger than mine
ben_vulpes: what do you need the precision for?
a111: Logged on 2016-07-17 00:47 ben_vulpes: my asciilifeform emulator says "because wasted time switching between mouse and spaceball!"

ben_vulpes: it is very well integrated with the major cad packages.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-15 17:31 asciilifeform: admittedly i want this for cad, rather than sierra gamez.
shinohai: nice. was going to do the bbq thing myself this weekend but got canceled
mod6: must have forgotten to do that last month
mod6: i added a link to the tickets dir on the foundation website.
mircea_popescu: phf> "Intel is pushing a neat technique that could block malware infections on computers at the processor level." kek << because that's TOTALLY where they should be blocked. check it out, intel found the solution to badly written "dao" : HARD FORK!!1
mircea_popescu: mats> this presumption of air dominance is not clever << and even if it held, the drone bs is just lazy thinking.
jurov: "Intel is pushing a neat technique that could push malware infections on computers at the processor level."
asciilifeform: but think, the sheer, monumental, militant pissing idiocy of the idea
asciilifeform: like DEP, will have to kill it to run any serious proggy
a111: Logged on 2016-07-16 20:29 phf: asciilifeform: that also seems to break setjmp/longjmp? not to mention various lisps and mls that abuse ret/call for compilation techniques

phf: on a totally unrelated note, for keeping in logs, http://www.powerclinicinc.com/ handy service that repairs arbitrary power supplies

mats: i need to verify my mental model
mats: i read that with a thick slavic accent

mats: drones have eaten LRS missions and has been threatening CAS for longer
mats: outsourcing to drones
mircea_popescu: outsourcing to russia ?
BingoBoingo: Of course then will be placed in something more durable than thinset
deedbot: [Qntra] Turkey Cooks - http://qntra.net/2016/07/turkey-cooks/
BingoBoingo: The trendy option here is electric heating element set under flooring in thinset mortar
mircea_popescu: and yes, that's the correct solution if for entirely incomprehensible reason you absolutely must have electric space heater : submerge resistors in thermically heavy oil, ie, re-do the circulating water radiator under the new design constraints.
shinohai: I am glad to own an actual "estufa" made of cast iron, which cheerfully warms the house with a log or three.
mircea_popescu: anyway. the item is made locally principally because i suspect it'd be illegal to ship internationally.
shinohai: Look t the money we saved!
mircea_popescu: well nobody forces you to use the wrong plastic for your application, you know.
shinohai: Ihave seen a few space heaters here with thermoplastic cases, but they seem reasonably robust.
mircea_popescu: not like you couldn't have proper thermoplastics if you wanted to. the old item foot for instance is quite resistent to heat.
mircea_popescu: cheap vinyl too.
shinohai: Is that a genuine case made of *plastic* on that thing mircea_popescu ?
oama: better than thaiglish though
oama: I wouldn't laugh! my english isn't the best out there so...
mircea_popescu: you should hear pinoy chix engage in their version of english.
oama: they speak thaiglish. which is like a totally different language
mircea_popescu: they do speak english in thailand amirite
oama: lol, n-am mai citit trilema de-un car de ani așa că nu știu ce și cum
mircea_popescu: are you here for the http://trilema.com/2014/ill-pay-for-your-tits/ ? :D
mircea_popescu: ah teh convo. hehe
mod6: random roll on trilema landed me ohttp://trilema.com/2013/do-you-know-who-knows-everything-about-power-bitcoin-people/
mod6: ya me too
mircea_popescu: and as phf can no doubt tell you, only orcs vocalize /ʎ/ as /ʃ/. and the worst kind, too.
mircea_popescu: (similarly argentines don't read ll/y properly, but as sh instead. hence /saˈkate la moˈʧiʃa/ instead of the god given /saˈkate la moˈʧiʎa/.)
shinohai: ;;later tell felipelalli I will write something up, but will require a donation of 0.05 BTC to my "get off my ass on a weekend" fund.
mircea_popescu: and in other wtf, anglos write naTion and noTion but nevertheless say naSHion and noSHion. because NOT ONLY do they have the romanian t, and s, which they don't bother to write down, but they also do the t, -> s, conversion like a buncha southern idiot plainsdwellers. romanian also spells nation and notion, but reads it like orcs one removed, natzion, notzion. fucking welchers do it like orcs twice removed, sh directly.
mircea_popescu: ;;later tell felipelalli so a) write it and b) stop leaving, this is intended for permanent residence not hit-and-run actions. ☟︎
adlai: ask not what your qntra can read to you; ask what you can write for your qntra
felipelalli: I'd love to see something about this on Qntra.net, WOT:nonperson hahah :D
felipelalli: guys, have you seen this? https://www.sec.gov/comments/sr-batsbzx-2016-30/batsbzx201630-2.htm
BingoBoingo: Please archive.is Turkey lulz everybody!
mircea_popescu: people were laughing on the street. i still recall the day.
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/2011/indescriptibila-academie-catafailencu/#comment-53513 << ran "O sarma sa taiem ; foame-i lu bitu' Ion" ie, let's cut a sarmali (trad ro dish for various events), uncle Ion [iliescu, the ducks from trucks president] is hungry. it is entirely homophonous with "aux armes citoyens, formez vos bataillons". the thing was for 14th of july.
mircea_popescu: what is even the fucking point jesus
mircea_popescu: all image hits ARE FROM TRILEMA
phf: only thing that comes to mind is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_eXile, i still have a couple of print editions on shelves somewhere
mircea_popescu: lemme fish out perhaps their glory moment
mircea_popescu: heh. this was an epic newspaper. perhaps the only actually good newspaper i ever personally witnessed. live, functional, the genuine article.
phf: i feel like that's more of a su thing, 90s in russia were handheld camera times, so it was more likely someone will start own tv station or try and get a spot on a fringe one like 2x2
asciilifeform: my archaeological work turned up no such thing.
phf: in a sense that it's a catch phrase from media that everyone is familiar with, yes, but i'm blanking on print media, i was not sufficiently someone back then
mircea_popescu: did ru space have something like this ?
mircea_popescu: (romanian version of canard enchaine, immensely popular in the 90s, so much so that everyone who was anyone read each and every edition, had a permanent column by that name, approx "these words which do hurt us" in broken romanian.)
phf: perhaps from their a6 agenda
mircea_popescu: Cepaliga@CkickNet.ro << that, for instance, is misspelled (clicknet.ro). leaving aside the FUCKING CAPITALIZATION - someone typed that shit by hand. off, no doubt, paper.
mircea_popescu: count the aol.com s, the yahoo.com s and be amazed.
mircea_popescu: basically, old people being active on the internets.
mircea_popescu: http://www.sfatulbatranilor.ro/archive/index.php/t-5200.html << for the lulz-inclined.
asciilifeform: 'not shakespeare, but man of the same name!' (tm) (r)
asciilifeform: or is this some other mircea_popescu
asciilifeform: lel, who's the old fella in mircea_popescu's avatar pic
mircea_popescu: anyway. romania will probably swing. ~nobody that i heard from likes the westerners anymoar.
