BingoBoingo: Well, stanley black and decker company has problems prolly, but... exist now as ghostly AMD
to
TTI's intel
BingoBoingo: Not
that power
tools
this is actually less issue because
TTI makes nearly everything and is chicom.

the next day,
they 'apologized' by... supplying a crate of free fluke meters
to
the victim
BingoBoingo: Hey my rubber hose circa
this week also made in USA. Slightly higher
tech
BingoBoingo: ;tldr "Made in USA"
to
the extent in continues does so for feels in weird
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo maybe we let it mature a little first. << Prolly for
the best. Meme'ing isn't drilling,
there's no room
to play with 12 volts of conveniece because unlike drill needs
to last.
mircea_popescu: and in some households
the woman is doing
the
talkin'.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform last i checked
they still buy
them with dollars.
those can be
taken anyway from
them as well as from anyone.
mircea_popescu: i imagine
that's what he meant
to say, right ? it'd clearly make "attacks like
these" much less deadly.
mircea_popescu: "if you work for
the government, in any capacity, you're slave not a citizen. pick up a shovel and make yourself useful. bitch."
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform how about
taking away ALL weapons from ALL usg-paid ANYONE.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I'll let you do a piece
to introduce
the
term. Need
to be very clear on applications so context is needed.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo proposed alternative
terminology for
the us : "The Great Great-Again", GGA.
mircea_popescu: considering what
the current ships are like, pykrete's a much better alternative.
mircea_popescu: but
think for a moment... what'd a nylon mesh do for concrete ? what'd graphite strucutre ? etc.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, speaking of "keeps us from exploring", isn't it funny how abandoned special concretes are
today ?
the VERY related field of special ceramics gets all
the love. because obviously,
the earlier linked robot.
trinque: suppose you could spread out antenna in
the dirt
though, such
that it's imprecise
trinque: any signaling of "off" gives up
the position of
the mines
trinque: yeah, I don't see a great way of confirming back
that it's disarmed
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i was kinda
thinking, back in 2013,
that who knows by 2020 nsa could be making
that.
mircea_popescu: anyway ;
the us "survivalist" folks have
the right idea, even if
they don't understand
the higher level considerations necessarily. "if you're going
to build, build a bunker"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform note
that
they only campaign against mines ON LAND
BingoBoingo: IN defensive news StL and apparently other deparments
today began mandating wearing of
their kevlar vests, optional before
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the problem with defensive means is
that
they empower
the individual. state wants offensive means, and if possible
to fight all wars against strictly offensive forces.
BingoBoingo: Anyways new drill's chicom makers were sufficiently polite so as
to let me be
the one
to break in
the motor's brushes. Was very sparky out of
the box,
tamer now.
mircea_popescu: nowhere
today, no. i was discussing
the baricadable paris of 1700/1800
BingoBoingo: Do wish for adapter
to cord it
to lead acid battery
terminal
though.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Also have corded and
the hand powered kind of cordless
BingoBoingo: In other news all is right with
the world again as I have new cordless drill.
mircea_popescu: usg nightmare scenario is exactly
this, highly defensive "everything's a fortress and with gun ports" bourgeois restructuring of
the
town.
mircea_popescu: so building a castle was ~the only practical way
to prepare for war. except as
the kings successfuly found out, a defensive item defends whoever's
there, not whoever built it.
mircea_popescu: anyway.
the untold story of
the us "we can't defend, we attack"
thing is evident in
the history of medieval castle warfare. at
the
time, war was heavily defensive,
there was ~no effectual way
to attack whatsoever.
mircea_popescu: i mean, more
than in 1016, but not as much as projected in 1976
mircea_popescu: except...
there's not another 60, not
that another 60 would be enough next
time.
mircea_popescu: for now,
there's 60tons of ro gold. like you know, during
trajan, exactly.
mircea_popescu: once people gotta forage
their own food,
things change.
mircea_popescu: this will continue for as long as
there exists no -ev peons in
the us. for as long as
the govt can pay and pay and pay, it works.
