mircea_popescu: i suspect sweat actually is also a major factor ; definitely urine. complicated matter and i'm lazy. let the curious mind run their own studies.
mircea_popescu: yeah well there's that.
mircea_popescu: condomsharing (ie, when you enter them alternatively without bothering to change the condom) definitely does.
asciilifeform: (have you ~seen~ the rat pits.)
asciilifeform: in the kind of close quarters dorm folk live in, they may as well be eating each other's undies.
mircea_popescu: wearing each other's underwear works though.
mircea_popescu: notrly. i think that only works in rats.
asciilifeform: i thought all they had to do was be in smellin' range.
mircea_popescu: think in terms of "hepatitis alone" rather than "influenza alone"
asciilifeform: there is ~no such thing in usa studentland as 'chick living alone'.
mircea_popescu: not without biological exchange though.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i thought they synced with roommates / officemates
asciilifeform: but generally folks had to at least feign illness to get terms extended
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform a) most surpriseful of all surprises b) girls of the age living "alone" ie, not tonsils deep in other girl's cunts don't usually have regular periods.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was in the asylum, it had the seeds of this at the time.
mircea_popescu: college in teh modern democracy being this roughly speaking featureless insane asylum. getting terms extended becomes then positive attention, and so they start seeking it for lack of anything else more meaningful to seek
asciilifeform: where, what, there is no such thing as semester ?
mircea_popescu: honestly i think it's an outgrowth of the "college experience"
asciilifeform: or is it, too, 'surprise' ?!
asciilifeform: does it not behave even approximately as timer.
asciilifeform: srsly do they not menstruate.
asciilifeform: one would naively imagine that GURLS would have no problem with this !1111
mircea_popescu: it's a very "western world" phenomena, roughly half the beatings in half the girls in the first half year have something to do with "i was surprised by X periodic event", usually a bill or w/e
mircea_popescu: "i've never observed these things show up regularly on a monthly schedule befoar"
asciilifeform: this apparently is an actual thing, some folks were taken down from the trees by mistake, and cannot handle any timed process more complicated than skinning banana
asciilifeform: and ~demanded!1111~ to be fed
mircea_popescu: ~like "hey, my electricity bill came thursday, i had no idea monday this might occur"
mircea_popescu: dude had an unexpected expense in the form of a lapsing subscription, being the idea.
asciilifeform: what's it to do with eulora ?!
mircea_popescu: his whatever subscription UNEXPECTEDLY ended today, he had no idea this is gonna occur you know, 4 days ago.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so dude goes in, wants to buy coppers, which me and n other people tell him to simmer down and figure out the game first ; then spends the next weeks hussling bitcent at a time.
asciilifeform: (and nothing at all about, well, the folks who actually kicked the jerries out of their pesthole)
asciilifeform: at whose embassy there is a shrine to patton, who took ~one town~
asciilifeform: except possibly if they had czechs
asciilifeform: hard to imagine moar pathetic set.
asciilifeform: unrelatedly, the most pathetic thing at the parade was a GIGANTIC american flag carried by buncha korean derps, emigres,
asciilifeform: 'zakorus123 is no one able to rescue me by buying my 1.2m coppers 07:59
asciilifeform: where do these even come from.
mircea_popescu: the one time when "has Latin", that, specifically, not "can write" or other junk would have served as you wish it to serve, was cca 500 ad. and at that time it served like "knowing idish" served you in the new york harbor cca early 1900s. plenty of people were there because specifically "Pedalavo come se fuggissi, e in realta fuggivo, da lei, da quelle emozioni, da i sogni, da i ricordi, da tutto. E pensavo che dovevo dimenti
asciilifeform: i recall a very recent post re some derp who had to be formally drummed out on account of persistent idiocy
asciilifeform: i have not been tuned in.. mircea_popescu, how is the experiment in driving all-comers to pgp coming along ?
a111: Logged on 2016-05-30 15:48 diana_coman: well, a pgp message at this point quite serves as that letter I guess
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-30#1473674 << yeah, except we're fucking that up with euloran noobs ;/ ☝︎
asciilifeform: would rather be ritchie at bell labs, or voltaire ^, or hard-nose british surrounded by angry niggerz to machine gun all day long
mircea_popescu: even then i'd still have had to ask "but do you know voltaire" and gut them if not.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-30#1473670 << this is a fallacy of the first order. it could be presumed to come from some sort of cleric, who could be presumed to be some sort of transposition of that horror which today i call a nigger. i see no benefit accruing to me on this score for going back to 1850 or 1650. ☝︎
asciilifeform: including thrown at promising n00bs
mircea_popescu: ironically, this whole thing is also discussed on trilema. lemme fish it out, mostly for diana_coman 's interest mebbe.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-31 00:33 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-30#1473644 << this was a miserable idea to begin with. cry me a river of small violins over how the illo tempore "good socialism" of "every man had a wife" is some sort of something i should care about.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-31#1473851 << was less 'demoocracy' and more about how world used to be less verminiferous on the whole and folks had a bit moar surplus to throw around. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: just don't step on any of the invisible tripwires that are found in places which don't even necessarily make geometric sense. TO YOU, NOOB!!1
asciilifeform: ^ ought to be advertisement jingle...
a111: Logged on 2016-05-31 00:32 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-30#1473642 << this is not merely false, it is backwards to reality. a lot of cocks do not result in a "loose" pussy ; they result in a well musculated, pleasurable fuckhole. similarly so, the only thing that results in thick "mental carpaces" are "healthy" ie deratized situations.
asciilifeform: relatedly, i can see ( re http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-31#1473848 ) the argument. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-05-30 15:45 asciilifeform: which is that mircea_popescu has thick walls in his head covered in barbed wire, and newcomers are necessarily massaged by said barbed wire.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-30#1473666 << eh you kidding, i'm the nicest guy there is. ☝︎
gribble: Error: We broke The Google!
asciilifeform: at any rate, germany had the gas centrifuge, it is where su found it.
mircea_popescu: yeah, but he's fondly remembered as the "let's keep going" guy.
asciilifeform: ditto what was in the massive 6-engined junkers that flew to buenos aires in '45.
asciilifeform: what exactly patton (who died in strange circumstances right after war) found when he plundered the seeekrit shit, is still Officially Seekrit.
mircea_popescu: it's doubtful wtf the germans had.
asciilifeform: (at the production rate then.)
asciilifeform: there is, in archive, a letter from general groves to truman stating, plainly, that there will not be REMOTELY enough U for bomb. ☟︎
asciilifeform: which is why the crackpot hypothesis that they plundered german uranium is so popular
mircea_popescu: good thing they didn't make a tin woman, in the shape of a raindeer with a funnel up its butt.
asciilifeform: aha, every literate man's skull i think
asciilifeform: esp. the american abomination
asciilifeform: in '40s the separation machine was ruinously inefficient.
asciilifeform: (~100x cheaper than centrifuge isotope separation device)
mircea_popescu: wasn't in the 40s either, more of a "holy shit engineering feat" than a "omaigerd its incomprehensible arcana"
asciilifeform: i'd idly like to know if anyone is using the laser separator.
mircea_popescu: truth be told this isn't particularly advanced tech.
asciilifeform: and that's just the 1 who advertised his name.
asciilifeform: iirc that khan fella went round and round, helpin'.
mircea_popescu: now, not to say that current chinese capacities in rocketry and so on aren't mostly chinese. they are ; with a little dab of helping from anyone available to help for a reasonable fee, the swiss, romanians, jews, whoever the fuck.
mircea_popescu: sure, and according to every divorced woman the house was fair trade for the nagging.
mircea_popescu: india i have nfi, possibly brits gave them.
asciilifeform: btw according to brits the american nuke was a fair trade for the gas
mircea_popescu: there was military tech transfer to china right around the cuban crisis.
asciilifeform: and to india, they also gave ?!
mircea_popescu: at whatever point they had that fallout with moscow.
asciilifeform: afaik american 'donation' to cn began with clinton.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they had norking wukes ~in the sense the brits do : the americans gave them some.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-30 15:42 asciilifeform: i wish this were not so
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-30#1473652 << it won't be so, for the same exact reason the "true standard" of "original vellum roll with chain of custody" didn't make it as a "golden standard" past 500ad. ☝︎
asciilifeform: though people forget this.
mircea_popescu: used to be, you know, back in the 80s, china was roughly speaking a very large vietnam.
asciilifeform: as a boy i always imagined that chinese parade includes blokes carrying little stools from which they will - together, and seismically calamitously - jump !
mircea_popescu: so they don't end up embarassed. like, 1 of 3 regiments goes, sorta thing
mircea_popescu: nope. they actually (from what i hear) make pools and pick which to run
asciilifeform: i bet the chinese don't even have to drive the same rocket around a corner 10 times.
mircea_popescu: the chinese are busting the records for that.
asciilifeform: they think this is it!
asciilifeform: not even motorbikers, apparently those went the other day, in the good weather.
asciilifeform: not ONE rocket or tank or ... any.
asciilifeform: and some VERY old men pulled in a wagon thing behind a jeep
mircea_popescu: were the nukes pointy at least ?
asciilifeform: in related nyooz i saw what passes for an american military parade today
asciilifeform wishes mircea_popescu a quick return to battle form.
