polarbeard: the makefile
there is generated from
the script on
top
mircea_popescu: apparently someone does
this voluntarily! i expect
to see prison camps next!
mircea_popescu: for any innocents : bingo is
this activity where you get a bit of paper printed with numbers,
there's a loudspeaker saying numbers, and you cross out
the matches.
polarbeard: I've been
toying with
trb's building scripts, and I've managed
to do a whole build, including sig verification and pressing by generating a makefile
assbot: Logged on 22-01-2016 22:37:55; BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Arm fat, usually associated with older ladies
that frequent Bingo halls. Now Obesity is prevalent enough
the young and under exercised frequently have
them.
The arm fat in a bingo wing
typically "flaps" when moving hence "wing"
polarbeard: I don't know if you'll find
this interesting or horrible :)
pete_dushenski: i'm not persuaded
that
the front-line gameboyers
think
that
there's an unlimited supply of
these machines.
pete_dushenski: wait, really ? you
think ~half~ of
their fleet "had accidents" ?
pete_dushenski: in lab, no, but
the results would seem
to support your
theory, particularly as heathens with slingshots seem
to be picking
them off like flies buzzing around yesterday's leftovers
pete_dushenski: just imagine
the conversation at lizard hitler hq : "sir, we have reports
that
the bitcoin xtcoreclassic
team isn't providing adequate lulz
to our enemies at #b-a. we've expended all
the resources we had at our disposal and it still isn't enough.
they're indefatigable sir!" "send in...
the drones. it might not be a perfect plan, but it's all we have right now. at
the very least, it'll buy us some
time." "right away,
pete_dushenski: also, "The Reaper carries an emergency battery backup system. But
the batteries last only for about one hour. If a malfunctioning drone needs more
time
than
that
to reach an airfield, it is in
trouble."
pete_dushenski: "“Once
the battery’s gone,
the airplane goes stupid and you lose it,” said Col. Brandon Baker, chief of
the Air Force’s remotely piloted aircraft capabilities division. “Quite frankly, we don’t have
the root cause ironed out just yet.”"
pete_dushenski: "In March,
the Air Force’s program manager for its Reaper fleet filed a report with
the Pentagon noting
that
there had been “a dramatic increase” in starter-generator failures since 2013." <--> "General Atomics spokeswoman Kimberly Kasitz said
the firm “stands behind
the proven reliability” of
the Reaper."
pete_dushenski: see freight costs atm. here
to shanghai for
the cost of
the containers.
pete_dushenski: not so. a pension is just a promise, a predator costs money
today, in
today's dollars
pete_dushenski: when your ~most effective~ weapon costs you more
to build, maintain, and operate
than it causes in damage
to your enemies, you're deeply defeated.
☟︎ pete_dushenski: "Of
the 269 Predators purchased by
the Air Force since
then, about half have been destroyed or badly damaged in accidents, records show." <--> "The Predator has been our most effective weapon in our campaign against
the global jihadists,” said Michael G. Vickers,
the Pentagon’s former
top civilian intelligence official"
assbot: Logged on 22-01-2016 22:40:27; BingoBoingo: Can
then hang as
trophy like "angel"
BingoBoingo: Could also be a reflection of how many 'Muricans go planetary after birth requiring
truck suspensions
to hold
their ass.
BingoBoingo: Well. might actually make sense when children get
to school if personally delivering
them. May deter other parent's driving aggression if
their baby wagon is insuffiecient
to
take yours in a fight for space.
BingoBoingo: But in
the most gigantic, overwhelming space
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Arm fat, usually associated with older ladies
that frequent Bingo halls. Now Obesity is prevalent enough
the young and under exercised frequently have
them.
The arm fat in a bingo wing
typically "flaps" when moving hence "wing"
☟︎ BingoBoingo: There's prolly also got
to be aftermarket plate armour kits for
the
thing
BingoBoingo: mod6: How can one not want
to investigate
that mystery?
mod6: '-has a couple songs in
the rear bumper' wat?
BingoBoingo: Can roll
the window down and jsut drop a
turd on
the highway
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Bigger
than some apartments
ben_vulpes: certainly felt like it, driving across
town
to school and back every day.
pete_dushenski: " Will
trow set of massa 23inch wheels if pay full price." <<< !!!
BingoBoingo: Just imagine how much bandwidth it would have when full of
tapes!
pete_dushenski: korean shitboxes
tend
to rattle and groan like very poorly maintained vacuum cleaners at 15-20 years of age and find
themselves in
the scrap yard as a result
ben_vulpes: all
the good cars have miserable lines.
pete_dushenski: there's a good reason you don't see many 15-20 year old hyundais on
the road
ben_vulpes: pete_dushenski: know anything about
the honda passport model?
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Not necessarily on side of
theives. Company just did not want life insurance premiums
to bankrupt
them so placed sane limits on what could be recovered from where.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform: We shall see. I would like
to put 8 of
them in your hands. S.NSA needs a R&D project.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: bwahaha. "how much does your enemy need
to pay you for you
to answer
the call in his
time of need ?"... indeed. why shouldn't "recovery" guys be on
the same side as "thieves" ?
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: Apparently at
that point recovery efforts became limited
to driving by
to verify
the car was
there and making it insurance company's problem
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: What
typically was
the worst case was car renter
took car
to region under "sovereign flag" like certain areas of North St Louis
that precluded recovery when lojack revealed
the car
to be
there.
jurov: rental agencies don't report
that?
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: No.
Thefts are rentals
that just don't get returned.
Talked
to a couple people who did
the scary work of "rental car recovery"
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: as BingoBoingo points out,
that most of
the 'thefts' happened on rental lots indicates exactly
this. namely, fraud.
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: as
to
thefts,
the point of
the rape parallel is
that
the act (of ownership or sex) never actually happened.
