asciilifeform: hanbot: that d00d is a riot. having trouble dispatching himself, in ameristan, where 300buxorz buys you a 'mossberg'
mircea_popescu: they found him dead in a ditch, sewed him back together and ran reanimative storm-powered electricity through the pile ?
hanbot: if we're to believe him, a -~*college teacher*~-
hanbot: meanwhile i accidentally stumbled on TLP's return as it might look through the brainpan of elliot rodgers, oodles of cringe for anyone in need of a little sharpening for the ol' misanthropic awl: http://archive.is/AIaGN
asciilifeform: summary : su made a pdp-11 that 1) ran on 20 milliampere 2) included such things as a... supercapacitor ( i had nfi that even 1 of these was ever made in su ) that powers the sram ( yes ) for ~15 minutes~ during batt swap.
asciilifeform: ( to be utterly pedantic, it is possible that somebody applied a faux seal. or that the batteries were swapped by orig maker, who guaranteed them for two (!) yrs after ~sale~ )
asciilifeform: meanwhile, in oldies, asciilifeform recently acquired a specimen of the famous http://mk90.blogspot.com/2009/09/85.html pocket comp ( was made, from late-perestroika psychosis, in chassic copied from a jp calculator ) . pdp11 (!) compatible box.
douchebag: BingoBoingo: I'm a pretty good writer, especially when it comes to politics/privacy/and technology. From what I currently understand I recieve I recieve one qntra share per word of each accepted article and shares go between 0.00000850 to 0.00001750 BTC, correct?
douchebag: mircea_popescu: Well, my main issue is that I don't work for free. I'm not going to spend time working on a project that I will not even be compensated for when I could be spending my time working on projects that I will compensated for.
BingoBoingo: Typical USG strategy: "Mircea Popescu can't exist, he has a blog and pictures and everything"
BingoBoingo: "It got to the point where they were showing me that the president of Nigeria had sent me a letter. It had his picture on it and everything," Haines said. "I looked it up on the computer to see what the Nigerian president looked like, and it was him." Once, he received an email claiming to be from Robert Mueller, who was then the FBI director. The email was addressed to Haines, code-name "B-DOG," and it was signed with the FBI's address
mircea_popescu: oodles upon oodles of discussions of "antisemitism", a term very substantially like phologiston : its mere inclusion in a text constitutes an ironclad guarantee that nothing intelligent, useful or interesting will be found there.
mircea_popescu: on the otherhand, but just as amusing, the simple and plainly evident fact that period europe consisted of ~way~ the fuck more people who couldn't stand jews than of people who liked hitler is, somehow, not much of a subject for the pomposity calling itself "scholarship". really, this happenstance doesn't happen to be at all interesting, somehiw ?
mircea_popescu: ah there it is, Leopold Frankenberger, the 19yo son of the jewish family where the 40yo grandmother worked as a cook. this is ~about what i recalled.
asciilifeform: kanzure: there was a bit of useful work for a fella with a linear accelerator, see logs.
asciilifeform: there's 2 separate j00 versions tho, there's one where he's bastard son of a iirc merchant
mircea_popescu: anyway, there's this constant "oh, there's a lot of us, what can you do". i dunno... machine gun the leftovers after extracting all prostitutable girlies ? how about ?
asciilifeform: iirc just recently BingoBoingo linked to a BingoBoingostani piece re some dopehead's house being bulldozed
mircea_popescu: eh, england's a shithole to the degree a waspnest better approximates it. they have to constantly tear down old cells to chew into new ones.
asciilifeform: ( the brits seem to be afflicted by a belief that... they can speak. witness the demolition of the prison where they murdered rudolf hess; or the bulldozing of every place the skripal d00d ever sat down in; etc )
asciilifeform: 'there is a nest of spiders in me'
mircea_popescu: "today, a snail came. i am not sure about this new moss growing. the wind is uncharacteristically global this time of the cycle. bla, bla, bla..."
asciilifeform: if bricks could speak, betcha there'd be a subreddit for'em
asciilifeform: sure. dun really make a diff, to me.
mircea_popescu: in other solipsisms, i threw out a rebours & l'innocente, because the suck, re-reading my zuleika rewrite instead, very happy with it.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: picture, d00d gets hold of a few coins, then... sells ( why? to buy diapers ? i dunno )
BingoBoingo: Maybe some people just like walking around with a dick that smells of lanolin without using lotion?
mircea_popescu: as naggum well put it, "have a kid or two, a start-up or two, an ambulance ride or two, suddenly your imaginary independence you sacrificed your youth for is nowehre in sight"
asciilifeform: ( the former is a pretty reliable way to lose one's shirt, in asciilifeform's experience )
asciilifeform: 'middle class rich' folx are typically inch short of being flat broke. ( this is likely not a surprise to mircea_popescu )
asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform rowed in the same galley as him, for a while under his command )
mircea_popescu: also not a rare problem.
mircea_popescu: there's a reason i do this level with girls. in between the "gotta eat", which readily and correctly is resolved by "eat out of the slave trough" and "i got ideas and things, which readily is correctly resoved by the whip, there's just too many failure modes.
mircea_popescu: it's true that it was geared towardsthe capacities and abilities of a presumptively independent republican lord, whereas you evidently need more hands-on tutoring and training. this isn't the end of the world, of course, but it is strictly uninteresting to me, as i expect to get a slavegirl out of that degree of involvement, and you don't pass the bioquals.
mircea_popescu: douchebag not really. we had something like that a few months earlier and it went nowhere.
BingoBoingo: ^ When alf fixates on mysteries the result is NOT a sporadic comment every couple weeks
douchebag: I started off just messaging girls on discord and seeing if they were interested in making money andgiving me a cut
douchebag: Would you be willing to assign me a list of tasks to complete each week, and if I successfully complete each task would you compensate my work?
douchebag: Hey mircea_popescu, I'm going through a pretty difficult time in my life right now. I'm working a job that will not improve me as a person
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> i dunno... i assume what quentin tarantino dresses jackson and travolta in, so they look like "a couple of dorks" << hehe
asciilifeform: aside from golden toilet satellite gear makers, it seems to be the fpga folks who most concern with 'single event upset' ( term of art for this item ) , as a flipped bit in fpga config , even down on earth, routinely translates into magicsmokerelease
asciilifeform: ( tho with every shot there is a probability of, e.g., catastrophic latchup, short circuit , magic smoke )
asciilifeform: 'may as well hang for a sheep as for lamb' lol
asciilifeform: ( incidentally a cf-252 neutron source is said to cost a btc or three, but -- unsurprisingly -- not in konsoomer retail )
asciilifeform: ( in usa the inspector monkey dun even get a say, the machine's ocr thing turns on red light, and monkey is stuck filling out form )
asciilifeform: re ankle weights, possibly these look exactly like a frag in the xray
mircea_popescu: i dunno... i assume what quentin tarantino dresses jackson and travolta in, so they look like "a couple of dorks"
asciilifeform: i've yet to see anybody anywhere give a shit re clothes
asciilifeform: ( there are some lulzy countries like ru where anyffing that radiates moar than a banana, requires note from hitler )
asciilifeform: the former is a pretty blunt knife tho.
asciilifeform: hey if can get same result with a 100 $ co-60 capsule, as with 100k$ accelerator, it's a win
mircea_popescu: though ideally one with a microwave source rather than some rare metal capsule.
mircea_popescu: a surplus medical piece's not even a bad investment in capital goods then
deedbot: http://trilema.com/2018/i-dont-understand-a-fucking-word-this-man-is-saying-help-me/ << Trilema - I don't understand a fucking word this man is saying. Help me!
mircea_popescu: a steerable linear accelerator'd be a few million.
asciilifeform: a steerable linear accelerator ( a la electron microscope's deflector ) would make for a pretty universal , if costly, fritz cure.
asciilifeform: particle diddling is great , in theory, as there is not really a practical defense against it
mircea_popescu: a proud flagship of the confederacy of dunces.
asciilifeform: ( i have a pretty good B source, did nuffin )
mircea_popescu: how about you know, a few Bs ?
douchebag: Nah, I've just had a number of family related issues come up suddenly along with some other factors that would make it difficult for me to travel overseas within the next few months.
mircea_popescu: what the fuck, pompous inanity in a light bore sauce. how ? how does anyone get through their days with these shits ?
mircea_popescu: a well, what else are plans for.
phf: asciilifeform: the way it looks x60 is not going to be replaced anytime soon, but it's running freebsd, and i avoid putting unstable stuff on it. i want a linux box for messy hacking though.
phf: i picked an x1 carbon from a pile, going to put trinque's cuntoo on it while i'm on the road..
a111: Logged on 2018-06-15 19:50 asciilifeform: speaking of h1 , phf didja get a working snake ?
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-15#1825808 << slow progress, snake soldered but untested. i realized last night that i don't have any linux devices, and was too tired to figure out how to do usb-serial/../new_id equivalent on a bsd. ☝︎
asciilifeform: there was episode where he exposed a (very fuckable) mindreading chix, on account of being the only referee who wasn't fucking her
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu would make a pretty killer houdini
mircea_popescu: takes a little bit of escherian margins, it's true, but the result is quite artisitcally impressive.
mod6: wasnt there a bunch of them nagging about withdrawls tho?
asciilifeform: and not 1 of'em asked where the promised coin is, why she's getting a fiver instead of two bitcents ?
asciilifeform: it isn't a particularly impressive feat of keep-straight
asciilifeform: pretty simple algo, take a 100 $ and a camwhore site, who wants -- can replicate
mircea_popescu: so you just make a guess.
asciilifeform: there might somewhere exist a 'i build emp probe on mondays and read reddit on tuesdays' fella. but i haven't met one yet.
asciilifeform: real planet earth doesn't seem to offer a continuum between 'waste of meat' and 'does worthwhile things' , tho it could theoretically exist somehow . somehow it loox to be a binary.
mircea_popescu: you realise this, yes, it's not just http://trilema.com/2014/askfm-laid-bare-or-whats-half-a-million-uniques-to-you/ or http://trilema.com/2017/the-incidental-humiliation-of-obamas-clean-energy-policies-marc-andreessens-internet-of-farts-and-other-such-comedic-gold-bricks/ nor does it stop there. if we actually wanted to ~replicate~ weev's idea of "success", we could simply take over millions of "private" home routers, load #
mircea_popescu: there's a difference, of course, between "why would you" (ie, an in general discussion) and "why would i" which is much more speciffic and narrower. you were asking why-the-former, yes ?
mircea_popescu 'd have made a great ximenez
asciilifeform: speaking of h1 , phf didja get a working snake ? ☟︎
phf: ahaha, i missed that. well, that's certainly a higher probability take
phf: asciilifeform: i got a feeling pay for your tits ruined him in a sense that he got micro optimized for hustle (which seems like it was his default mode to begin with). the only time he popped up since was when you proposed a 1btc for H1 crack
phf: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-06-15#1825631 << updated, but it's a novel way of using manifest though: normally it requires a regrind where manifest is built up as you go, so the press order is enforced through graph. right now your manifest gives a press order, that's not enforced by anything ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: the ustardian view of females and male sexuality is not a free idiocy. it costs. this is what it costs -- all sex is inhabituation and if you insist on inhabituating boys with anything other than joyous and readily offered female sexual service, as was the norm in europe, you get tentacles and racism and whatnot.
asciilifeform: used sorta like a штрафбат
asciilifeform: iirc they had a black corps
mircea_popescu: anyway, just because the japs' would have cut their own appendix out before permitting such a thing didn't mean the americans weren't vaguely excited and generally happy about the idea some other doods fucking the wives
asciilifeform: possibly it's a riff on aesop
mircea_popescu: the lion brought a hunk of meat... the hippo a tub of dirt....
mircea_popescu: it had a story of a hedghehog on whose birthday all other animals brought gifts
mircea_popescu: there's an ancient german kiddie book i got as a kid, and it is 100% the story of propaganda.
asciilifeform: there's a crackpot theory that today's usa 'radio hobbyists' descend from usa troops in jp front ( and later korea ) building illicit radio sets to pick up jazz+wife broadcast
mircea_popescu: not as a matter of preference, but as a matter of necessity, "i can't not buy their junk because that'd mean not sitting here"
mircea_popescu: king of sardinia unifies italy, rly ? gimme a lulzbreak.
mircea_popescu: a really ? how about the raid on vienna ?
mircea_popescu: and speaking of the "twu wuv" bullshit : me opened yesterday http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/22642/pg22642-images.html ; on the very strong recommendation that d'annunzio actually is the dood mussolini copied, so as to give hitler a model of cool ~he~ could in turn copy. it's the original duce (of fiume), and really, the inventor of the whole personal-martial cool in degenerate euros.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 'sov struggle with rock music' is a massive reservoir of lulz largely even to this day untapped by entomologists. ( they tried something like a conditional surrender )
asciilifeform: was there a form for sending in cock cage measurements ?
mircea_popescu: in other lulz, there's such a thing as "bitcoinbrat" on fetlife.
