asciilifeform: at any rate, the device mircea_popescu is describing seems to resemble a standard hammock stand
shinohai: http://www.baileigh.com/metalworking/tube-pipe-benders <<< /me has used this for pipe bending
mircea_popescu: something like 6 or 8 inch pipe, half cm thick walls
asciilifeform: cut, thread ?
mircea_popescu: how are you going to bend it ?
asciilifeform: i mean, we aren't thinking of submarine propeller here
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you can't machine this stuff in your garage.
mircea_popescu: (for the noobs : the suspension hemicicle is a 1.5 rad section of thick steel pipe, curved around a radius of about 4 meters. sits on welded legs made of the same material, 1 rad sections curved around radius of 1 m. it allows you to tie hands and feet of slavegirl, let her suspend for a good fucking, thrasing, or just sunbathing)
asciilifeform: the backplane is, i think, unibus
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have proper machine toolz here.
asciilifeform: (1201 used standard scsi disks, note, the owner of that one substituted a modern simulator)
mircea_popescu: good luck replacing massive steel. you know what i had to go through to get a suspension hemicile made ?
asciilifeform: if i had just the 2 boards depicted in the link i'd have the box.
asciilifeform: vs the massive steel chest and dc ps
asciilifeform: eh i'm only counting the irreplaceable bits
mircea_popescu: what were they, 35 lbs all told ?
mircea_popescu: weight in plutonium for this item is hereby defined as "in excess of 1mn usd / kg".
mircea_popescu: phf he has a point, if you consider that have you saved the money back in 86, put it in apple shares, and then use it to bid now 4k would be what, 3% ?
phf: yeah, last one i bought for 4100 and twenex was "surprised it went to cheap"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform did they mistranslate "oferta actual" ?
mircea_popescu: they don't even have the decency to alter the url. (google forcibly redirects you, because WE HAVE THIS FEATURE AND YOU MUST USE IT!!! OBAMACARE!!11)
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: these climb routinely into 5fig
mircea_popescu: also how the fuck is $500 weight in plutonium, what is this, my inexistent piercing ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose i should be fucking thankful they don't use some EGOG charset.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there is always the 'can't be arsed' theory
asciilifeform: phf: i find it interesting that folks are paying their weight in plutonium considering that emulator exists
mircea_popescu: i don't suppose anyone else has any competing theory re their "we've been haxxed, report soon to follow. 1,2,3 <crickets>" dog and pony show last year ?
phf: i'm surprised twenex did an open bid though, guy is notorious for selling smbx boxes for 5k starting price
mircea_popescu: i suspect the nostalgia is a subset of "i long for the days before we started using freenode, and so it wasn't being served gagged supoenas, and so it was almost usable"
phf: asciilifeform: i'm watching it, i already have an xl1201 though. i might bid on this one for parts, but there's a lot of eyes on it. i wouldn't be surprised if it climbs to 5-7k
mircea_popescu: here too.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there was a few hr outage.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-18#1467906 << ironically, i read this in the log. i didn't have it in my own scrollback, because freenode is a pos and i lost conn. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: hey ben_vulpes , would it be possible to move the orig link right under the wotpaste header, and add a home one next to it ?
asciilifeform nostalgic for the days of reliable l0gz
shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-18#1467890 <<< thx BingoBoingo ☝︎
mircea_popescu: (and in the same vein, https://archive.is/18A5I https://archive.is/ZKxZY etc)
ben_vulpes: i see kakobrekla fixed the "no loglines no prev/next" bug
mircea_popescu: (ftr, while "internet brands" is exactly the same shit as interactive corp, it's patently untrue vbulletin was ever anything but a steaming pile of shit.)
mircea_popescu: https://www.avforums.com/threads/vbulletin-review-how-internet-brands-have-killed-off-vbulletin.1855705/ << for the entomologists specifically interested in webhistory.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo by this logic, women and small children have all the powah.
mircea_popescu: kinda impressive how re-readable trilema is, 3 years later.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-17 16:02 BingoBoingo: Anyways, prolly ought to convert as many appliances as you can from electric to 2-cycle gas motors because Hitler hates their farts.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-17#1467679 << omfg now i also wonder what's in bb's tobacco. this insanity coallesced in my head like that iconic cartoon scene of all the clocks going off, except you know... with loud obnoxious two stroke engines. << More noise == More Powah ☝︎
mircea_popescu shall read this nao
asciilifeform: http://trilema.com/2013/the-future-in-the-past << great vintage mircea_popescutronic lul re trb...
mircea_popescu: in truth, human body is complex, but not uniformly sophisticated. some parts are ridiculous in their inept simplicity.
mircea_popescu: adult tissue :) post puberty it's the same thing on either gender.
asciilifeform: and what reacts in, e.g., grown man with pituitary tumour pissing out prolactin ?
mircea_popescu: ie, the infantile cells are yet unspecialised, and for that reason react to the signal. in "true" lactation actual specialised tit tissue reacts.
mircea_popescu: so in some cases tiny islands in child breast undergo same process. but it's brief and reverts naturally, without scarring
mircea_popescu: they drive the maturation of ALL breast tissue, there's no targetting geographically, it's chem signalling
mircea_popescu: witch's milk. see, when woman is about to deliver specific hormonal changes in her system drive the maturation of breast tissue.
mircea_popescu: it's not actual lactation though.
asciilifeform: what'd be the mechanism where newborn kid of either sex sometimes lactates, then ?
mircea_popescu: the mature breast is quite a specific thing, and it needs a coupla months to occur, post partum.
mircea_popescu: but no, generally no such thing. note that the breast we all know and love is clinically known as the immature breast
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform there's some post-intoxication lactation.
asciilifeform: but if the gland actually secretes some trace amount
trinque: what is on the human body?
trinque: wouldn't blow my mind that the thing is not a perfect seal
asciilifeform: (would be, presumably, a small but continuous stream, to 'nimble the gears' or whatnot)
a111: Logged on 2016-05-14 13:23 mircea_popescu: bad crop, bad pose, what the fuck is it with the milkstained, nipple torn bra and so on.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-14#1466468 << important question that perhaps only mircea_popescu could answer: is there a 'background lactation' ? ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: speaking of woman, must resurrect old thread:
trinque: wants to be at any rate
trinque: anal camera captures woman offering up the collective european butthole
trinque considers drinking every time she says "dialectic"
trinque: some guy wanted to post it to infowars I guess
asciilifeform: yeah but why is the camera on the floor..?
trinque: portland community college "professor" proposes we pay infinite monies to vaguely defined category of downtrodden
asciilifeform: trinque: wtf is that
asciilifeform: talking to him right now in the old ruins even
asciilifeform: i've nothing against the fella
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform whence teh hatred of funken ?
trinque: https://www.youtube.com/embed/d157dfkKsa8 << I've got one for the self-castration thread
a111: Logged on 2016-05-17 16:03 asciilifeform: if there is any point at all to having civilizations that ban things, 2cycle ought to have long ago been placed where the spark gap radio is
a111: Logged on 2016-05-17 16:02 BingoBoingo: Anyways, prolly ought to convert as many appliances as you can from electric to 2-cycle gas motors because Hitler hates their farts.

mircea_popescu: dude just how bad has this castration thing got in the us ?!
a111: Logged on 2016-05-17 21:27 asciilifeform: shinohai: who's that ?
shinohai: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-17#1467827 dunno was grepping followers tweets for certain terms and that one popped up. Never heard of the guy. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: " One of the women allegedly offered an undercover officer money in exchange for a sexual act, resulting in an additional prostitution charge." << wait, she was going to pay HIM ?
a111: Logged on 2016-05-17 15:59 BingoBoingo: Use less electric? Seriously though they'd basically be paying you to exercise.
mircea_popescu: it's ~how various countercultural things even existed in the first place.
mircea_popescu: you know incidentally, if the current nazi party were in fact in soviet russia we'd prolly all be working for the same home depot doing a very... disturbing version of clerks, the movie series.
a111: Logged on 2016-05-17 15:55 BingoBoingo: Have you tried applying to Home Depot? They will let you work part time. 20 hours/week leaves you less prison time than 40+ hours of sodomy.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-17#1467668 << lmao stop picking on teh poor bee! ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2016-05-17 15:51 asciilifeform: 'The government said Monday he should remain jailed indefinitely until he complies. The authorities also said that it's not a violation of the man's Fifth Amendment right against compelled self-incrimination because it's a "foregone conclusion" that illegal porn is on the drives and that he is only being asked to unlock the drives, not divulge their passcodes.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-05-17#1467659 << the logic of these idiots. ☝︎
asciilifeform: shinohai: who's that ? ☟︎
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform & other interested parties : i've actually verified that the behaviour in question comes from stock bitcoin 0.6 and some 0.7. the shit's so bad it self-ddoses its own network!
ben_vulpes: and these--
asciilifeform: and your choices reduce to whether to eat the bugs or not yet
asciilifeform: where you dun have the option of moving
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: x86 is more analogous to, perhaps, roaches and lice in a prison cell
BingoBoingo: How is jsut fill it up with ddt any different when you live in one of those than live with x86 is in coputing for same problem
asciilifeform: in this or other fields.
asciilifeform: nor have any interest in the 'just fill it up with ddt' approach to problem-solving
asciilifeform: nor have any intention of ever so much as chancing to.
