phf: asciilifeform: i don't see a problem with people doing it that way. that solution came up when i was trying to figure out how to get a concealed cary in DC. but i suspect your problem is going to be not just finding everyone on the books in various smalltowns, TX, but also discovering their real current home address
asciilifeform: fella has much to do with the gnarly pest control situation we're in presently.
mircea_popescu: lemay, since mentioned, fully understood this. iirc he made a comment that if the us lost the war, he'd have fully expected being hanged for war crimes.
mircea_popescu: WHAT they did, HOW they did it, what it came to etc don't enter into it.
mircea_popescu: war crimes are the legal, legitimate behaviours of people we don't like.
asciilifeform: and all of the folks who enable the man - ditto.
asciilifeform: dumb but harmless is one thing. dumb but climbs into cockpit of bulldozer and smashes whole city - other.
mircea_popescu: ftr i don't see the war crimes case against hitler either. i can see it against tony blair, or the current derp, or the german lapdog what's her name.
mircea_popescu: but this is an irrelevant consideration. bahamas is dumb as rocks, but will not hang for being dumb.
asciilifeform: incompetence on the scale of hitler's.
asciilifeform: i dun see any serious factual counter-argument to 'kissinger was two-legged disaster'
asciilifeform: and the man had ~= to do with 'ending the war' as keitel with ending ww2.

asciilifeform: phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-11#1501267 << nominally who-is-a-deputy is public record, neh? could make a list of these, like mats made of faux judges ? ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-07-11 16:15 asciilifeform: mastermind of shining victories!1111, e.g., usa in vietnam. that modern derps, incl. obummer, still struggle to equal.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-11#1501203 << actually, he got a nobel prize for ENDING that ; also came up with the "gender war" quote. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: eh, you never buy all the whores. drives price up for no benefit.
mircea_popescu: this is the crux of the issue.
mircea_popescu: plenty of folk in the us are derps.
mircea_popescu: also, us reps/senators are shockingly cheap. most third world shitholes more expensive.
mircea_popescu: i'm not sure that was the case even in the 50s.
asciilifeform: if turner - he gets volume discount.
mircea_popescu: i don't need to ask that, i know >D
asciilifeform: for ted turner, $50k
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is like asking 'how much for a senator'
a111: Logged on 2016-07-11 15:09 mircea_popescu: for that matter, as being a "police officer" is the one ustard nobility class they recognize, i wonder how many derps are "police officers" in name only. seems like a pretty decent deal, sign up with the pd dept, show up an hour a month or so, in exchange get weapon and shoot whoever.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform he, like we, lived in a zombie wave time. you also "left more broken code than you found". so now you're a code criminal ?
mircea_popescu: before that it was "treason"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the popular portrayal of war crime isn't actually all that deep. it's simply "THE BIG THING", which is what the herd needs/wants.
a111: Logged on 2016-07-11 16:05 asciilifeform: and afaik, liberasty aside, k really did create a good chunk of the 20th c. usg-branded corpse pile. what sense it even makes to discuss 'war criminals' without his picture on it ?
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-07-11#1501193 <<< body count is not the criteria per se. not everything that walks belongs alive. zombies are to be killed. ☝︎
asciilifeform: the popular portrayal of war crime is perverse: it is not cruel to ~the dead~, killing folx ain't such a cruel thing to do ~to them~, vs some of the alternatives. it is atrocity against the ~surviving~
mircea_popescu: better that than putting them in "colleges"
asciilifeform: and left the dross.
mircea_popescu: for instance, my objection to the khmer rouge was their being commies, not their butchering a billion idiots per se.
asciilifeform: y'know, in every army in the world, fella who is a liability to whatever he touches, quietly catches bullet from own side
mircea_popescu: in quake, the shirt is all that matters. much like on japanese field of battle, the flag on the little bamboo stick jutting out from your belt.
mircea_popescu: what's next, you're going to petition quake maker to give you trowel and paint brush, you want to be in quake teams only to paint the walls ?
mircea_popescu: and no, teh hitlers i mean clintons also democrats.
mircea_popescu: understand : the crime is never to have done so-and-so concrete item ; but to have done it WHILE DRESSED IN THE WRONG SHIRT. ☟︎
asciilifeform: i suppose clitler is then in mircea_popescu's ever-slightly-extended wot ?
mircea_popescu: this is the mother of all difference.
asciilifeform: ww2, and the mega-state : killed physics.
asciilifeform: 'don't measure electron charge, somebody might refute. measure instead only things that can be measured solely with $B machine.'
asciilifeform: the fuckers learned from the millikan case.
asciilifeform: at least none such that is not subject to ant vote.
asciilifeform: but in physics forest, there is no bird.
asciilifeform: the ants took a vote. it was decided that it shall be eaten by ants.
asciilifeform: in the forest, there once died a caterpillar;
a111: Logged on 2014-07-27 19:05 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: in 2010 i concocted a variant of the test that could be carried out for approx. 50k USD, from scratch. schwartz answered that, in his estimation, the test would work to spec, but results would not be accepted by the field unless carried out on one of the two existing eotvos balances. one - adelberger's, one - chicom.
asciilifeform: ^ typical case.
asciilifeform: gigantic particle accelerators, etc. are only distantly about experimentation and actual data, and primarily about scrubbing out the primacy of the exceptional individual, from physics, one of the last strongholds to fall.
asciilifeform: which is why you can get usg or eurounion to cough up $B for a crackpot machine, but not $1M for you to sit in a chalet in the alps and schrodingerate ☟︎
a111: Logged on 2014-11-14 05:47 asciilifeform: where, for no reason that has ever been publicly explained, laser-initiated fusion is diddled

asciilifeform: from beginning to end.
asciilifeform: ALL of the incentives are perverse.
a111: Logged on 2016-06-19 03:45 asciilifeform: which is to say, the tokamak folks are about as interested in desktop, $1000 fusion (of ~whatever temperatures~) as the maths dept at your uni is interested in elementary proof of fermat, or the software 'industry' - in 'fits in head', etc.
asciilifeform: 'So basically the LIGO team is admitting to publishing a manipulated final result and no real exact means for anyone outside of the LIGO project to duplicate it. It also appears the team tried to bolster and perhaps even justify their reporting of this highly questionable second event by including a third one they had previously dismissed.' ☟︎☟︎
asciilifeform: 'only new thing is the history you didn't know'
asciilifeform: 'But what Louis Wolfson will always be remembered for is bribing the only Supreme Court Justice ever forced to resign in disgrace, “Dishonest Abe” Fortas. Fortas began taking bribes from Wolfson, in 1969, at a time when Wolfson had already been convicted of securities manipulation.' << lulzy
asciilifeform: mastermind of shining victories!1111, e.g., usa in vietnam. that modern derps, incl. obummer, still struggle to equal. ☟︎
Framedragger: asciilifeform: re. k, true that. and what with my home country being a usg bitch, i recall my high school's history teacher (who also was its director) being basically in love with kissinger, quoting him left and right and openly admiring him - incl. his person, i think. wonder if he still does the same. ah, good times..
asciilifeform: so ^ new 'diebold', just like there is no longer a 'blackwater' but some ??? (i have nfi what the latest name is.)
asciilifeform: entage nationwide; one of every three votes cast in America.'
asciilifeform: meanwhile, 'More than 600,000 of the 1.8 million votes in last week’s New York Democratic primary were cast and counted on voting machines belonging to an “election services” company with a long criminal history and a rap sheet an arm long. Today it’s called Dominion Voting Systems. In last week’s primary in New York, Dominion controlled one-third of all votes cast in the state ... The company controls roughly the same perc
asciilifeform: i still find it curious, that somebody bothered to kidnap and hang eichmann, but not kissinger.
asciilifeform: quite the example from mircea_popescu's article where 'butcher who MOSTLY kills cows'
asciilifeform: and afaik, liberasty aside, k really did create a good chunk of the 20th c. usg-branded corpse pile. what sense it even makes to discuss 'war criminals' without his picture on it ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: i'm definitely going to push for it.
mircea_popescu: (seriously, woman was born in 47. she will be 70 by the time trump's inauguration rolls around. what soviets these libertards, they replicate the same system irrespective of what they say, with the same results.)
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, all i see is hilary duff, with a smattering of hilary hahn, whatever that is. my google ain't heard of clinton.
deedbot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilary_(name) << Hilary (name) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia | http://www.hilaryseatwell.com/ << Hilary's | Allergen Free Foods | Eating Well Made Easy | http://hilaryhahn.com/ << Hilary Hahn
mircea_popescu: the drawback of all the "youngest blabla" is that you'll prolly live to hang. unlike 70yo hilary & friends
mircea_popescu: like, the bronze gate, the rickety reeds construction spanning the actual golden gate :D
asciilifeform: afaik that's it.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, all bridges worth the mention started as foot bridges
asciilifeform: 'universal life church' is the decorative bridge.
asciilifeform: if you want to move column of tanks! harder.
asciilifeform: if foot bridge - takes a little effort
asciilifeform: if it is a decorative arch, that NOBODY will ever walk on - not hard. ☟︎
asciilifeform: this is sorta like asking 'how hard is it to build a bridge'
asciilifeform: it is solidly registered as church in usa! with 0 theology, etc.
asciilifeform: re: the church thread:
asciilifeform: sorta how the japanese shinto mathepriests had the calculus.
asciilifeform: dan mocsny had, iirc, almost literally this phrase.
asciilifeform: ^ 'Ban Ki-moon publicly acknowledged Thursday that he removed the Saudi-led coalition currently bombing Yemen from a blacklist of child killers — 72 hours after it was published — due to a financial threat to defund United Nations programs.' << lel

mircea_popescu: you know, when 17 yo black female is to be gangraped because "her kind" had, decades prior "won"
mircea_popescu: i was discussing the future propaganda not as much the actual reality underneath.
asciilifeform: there was a queue of 1,001 of them.
asciilifeform: eh i've been to the courthouse
mircea_popescu: you know, like no one wants to arrest 17yo female black shoplifter.
