ben_vulpes: yes, you can do it, and yes
the car will survive. how many hours did you
take off of its life, however?
ben_vulpes: exceeding stress limits is akin
to holding
the
tach in
the red for an extended period of
time.
ben_vulpes: now if
the envelope is retardedly small,
that's a different problem.
ben_vulpes: this is actually a
thing with planes, pete_dushenski.
pete_dushenski: despite
there being no accident or injury or malfunction
pete_dushenski: st control of
the 132ft-wide aircraft before it
turned upside down."
pete_dushenski: "The [British] Air Force has been forced
to write off a brand new $115million gunship after a pilot accidentally flew it upside down, according
to a report.
The AC-130J Ghostrider gunship was
taking part in a
training mission over
the Gulf of Mexico in April
this year having
taken off from Elgin Air Force Base, officials said.
The pilot, from 413th Flight
Test Squadron, was
taking part in a 'sideslip' maneuver when h
adlai: how about "all neural networks can be
trained by
the sufficiently smart dataset, not only ANNs"
ben_vulpes: the question
to ask is "can oncologists beat a coin
toss?"
ben_vulpes: which should be entirely unsurprising, as most doctors i've met can't do odds for poker in
their heads much less
the odds for human ailments.
ben_vulpes: no better
than random selection, really.
pete_dushenski: top kek. 'radiologist' goes
to 'skool' for 10 years+ of post-secondary, spends $bezzle in
tuition, and is still no better
than a garbage-eating pigeon
☟︎ pete_dushenski: "Over
the course of
two weeks,
the birds' accuracy at studying
the slides improved from 50 per cent up
to 85 per cent - and in one instance
this rose as high as 90 per cent."
pete_dushenski: "Experts
trained a group of
the birds
to
tell
the difference between benign and malignant human breast
tissue using food reinforcement
techniques."
pete_dushenski: "They may have a reputation for being bird-brained, but pigeons have found
to be as adept as humans when it comes
to spotting cancerous
tissue in mammograms."
ben_vulpes: "to improve
the quality of care!" mno.
to increase
the cost of care.
ben_vulpes: re: "ed", a nurse was over last night, lamenting
the shift from "emergency room, you know, a big room with sheets, "emergency department" with individually nicely fitted out, warm rooms with room service
that someone other
than $invalid is paying for"
pete_dushenski: pseudoerasmus reminds me a bit of vlaclav smil with a bit more focus on history and (obviously, given format) a bit less
thoroughness
mircea_popescu: you know,
the stuff
the us has been pushing as replacement for local governments.
mircea_popescu: of course, chemical warfare is still forbidden as per
teh various conventions
BingoBoingo: Still
the glyphosate in sufficient quantity exists
mircea_popescu: i've not got around
to reading anything else of
the guy's.
pete_dushenski: the main
thing running
through my head while
TRYING
to read about ancient greek economics, what
that point mircea_popescu made in a footnote recently about 'economists need businessmen but not vice versa'
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> also, iraq seems
to have something like 3.75 mn hectares (9.27 mn acres) of agricultural land for wheat production << Nothing compared
to
the soy fields USia already sprays with glyphosate.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: speaking of idle masturbation, i
tried sifting my way
through a few of 'pseudoerasmus' ' other blogs posts and pretty much choked
to death on
that inanity and pointlessness
BingoBoingo: Still safer
than doing
the same with a magnesium fire
BingoBoingo: Inducing famine is about all USia can seriously
try and even
then ISIS is prolly sitting on a decent stockpile of US MREs
pete_dushenski: apparently mircea_popescu hasn't seen 'mars attacks' where eiffel
tower is lasered in half
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski it's all idle masturbation.
the usg can do about as much
there as it can do against martians.
pete_dushenski: also, iraq seems
to have something like 3.75 mn hectares (9.27 mn acres) of agricultural land for wheat production
BingoBoingo: And no amount of Monsanto has yet produced glyphosate resistant wheat
to my knowledge
assbot: Logged on 14-11-2015 00:37:36; mats: nobody has
the stomach
to detonate a nuke over al-raqqah
trinque: that's of course why
they will never go after
the food production.
trinque: this notion
they have
that ISIS is something
to be surgically removed from otherwise neutral "occupied" people, it's cute.
BingoBoingo: Frankly
there are far more effective herbicides now
than
there were in
the agent orange days
BingoBoingo: "Ground Clear" concentrate contains only 0.08% Imazapyr 5.0% Glyphosate as
the concentrate. Works for most of a year after application.
pete_dushenski: 'agent orange' is off
the shelf and u.s. has planes ready and waiting for
this ?
BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> "ts fields could yield $200 million per year if
those crops are sold, even at
the cut rates paid on black markets. And how do you conduct airstrikes on farm fields?" << easily, call monsanto
pete_dushenski: "ts fields could yield $200 million per year if
those crops are sold, even at
the cut rates paid on black markets. And how do you conduct airstrikes on farm fields?"
pete_dushenski: "Arguably
the least appreciated resource for Islamic State is its fertile farms. Before even starting
the engine of a single
tractor,
the group is believed
to have grabbed as much as $200 million in wheat from Iraqi silos alone."
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: Just over half
the sponsors. Other nearly half is disappoint because
they
tend
to dislike
the medicaid rates
ascii_field: just like in last night's
thread where mircea_popescu explains how nobody asks
the motherfucking programmers anything
BingoBoingo: Most US docs not very fond of
the Beetus and fold mold
ascii_field: possibly
the only uniquely usian aspect of
this is
the eagerness of
the medics
to stitch'em back up (as described in mircea_popescu's suicide how-to)
mircea_popescu: (really,
the reason is
the reptile brain also has a say)
BingoBoingo: <ascii_field> is it because
they were
trying 'ironically' ? << likely
ascii_field: is it because
they were
trying 'ironically' ?
mircea_popescu: add
to
that
the endless piles of wags, whornalists, "agents" and other useless bs, you have better chances
to get shot by shooting yourself.
ascii_field: ~90%+ wouldn't pull
the
trigger in ww2, a few % in vietnam
mircea_popescu: from
the actual data i've seen, about a
third of us "forces" are not actually psychologically capable of using
their weapons.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, random chick
that got insulted cause
they asked her where's her bf
adlai: but
this policy has yet
to prove itself anything beyond rote words repeated from sergeant
to recruit
adlai: fwiw, idf policy post-shalit is
that, if you're witnessing
the kidnapping as it happens, you shoot
to kill nappers and/or nappee alike
ascii_field: y'know,
the sorta
thing you need
to not be entirely
transparent
to usg microscope at all
times...
mircea_popescu: just shoot
the cops / kidnap
the "soldiers" and sell
them back.
mircea_popescu: did
they not kidnap and ransom
that inept us soldier, what's his name ?
ascii_field: the reason is
that
the world of goatfuckistan has precious little
to offer
the kind of people who could arrange for
the latter
ascii_field: but
there's a reason why it was kalash in paris, and not nuke at davos.
ascii_field: if you wanna equate
this
to 'watch
tv' - whatever.
assbot: Logged on 20-11-2015 21:54:18; mircea_popescu: but anyway, maybe
the answer actually has little
to do with a "west worship"
thing, and simply is
that
the sort of people who have goals and set about
to pursue
them simply no longer exists. for all i know
the problem of mauretania is exactly
the problem of missouri : everyone in sight principally desires
to sit down in front a
tv.
BingoBoingo: I guess I should figure out a way
to help
the imageblind get
the joke
BingoBoingo: At least I included
the Hussein so everyone knows he birthed ISIS
BingoBoingo: And I haven't figured out a way
to make it flash between
the
two
mircea_popescu: um... why is president bahamas refered
to as "obama" ?
adlai: uh, 'b' is no longer caged in any cell... he at least seems
to have made
the best of
the west
