mircea_popescu: how come
the hemp industry didn't band
together
to destroy rayon ?
BingoBoingo: funkenstein_: Seriously what
the fuck is Dupont compared
to Monsanto
trinque sheds a single
tear for
the supreme weed of
the pacnw
BingoBoingo doubts lizards exist because more drugs would allow more potential lizards
to be disqualified from
their scales
funkenstein_: BingoBoingo, well I'm not sure about
that but "scholars argue
that
the goal was
to destroy
the hemp industry largely as an effort of Hearst, Andrew Mellon and
the Du Pont family."
BingoBoingo: <funkenstein_>
The "jack herer" street story is
that dupont orchestrated worldwide ban on hemp
to pursue synthetic fiber business << ANd G-13 story involves MK-Ultra
mircea_popescu: it does serve
the role of honest signal exceedingly well.
mircea_popescu: secondarily for
the shoes and etc. people who can afford a bowl can usually afford whatever else
teen might
think she wants.
phf: oy
true, it's good
to have some with you at a stripclub
mircea_popescu: all
the "cocaine addicted" chicks i ever knew were in it principally for
the cock.
BingoBoingo: <phf>
trinque: "psychological addiction" i.e. combination of poor impulse control and boredom,
that
turns into compulsive behavior <<
This creates Hamplanets. Exact same feedback loop, but subb McDick's
trinque: I know a few chicks
that have
the cocaine "addiction" and
they just strike me as weak
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu>
trinque cocaine is not addictive. << Not even as much as nicotine
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> it is hemp in approximately
the same sense
that a chihuahua is a wolf << /me
thinks great eventual colonization project would be Coyogi's
funkenstein_: meanwhile other parties pursued a ban on colombian exports and secured
the borders as well as supply lines
phf: trinque: "psychological addiction" i.e. combination of poor impulse control and boredom,
that
turns into compulsive behavior
mircea_popescu: which it does, and which romania is still in a position
to very acutely measure.
funkenstein_: The "jack herer" street story is
that dupont orchestrated worldwide ban on hemp
to pursue synthetic fiber business
mircea_popescu: <funkenstein_> was
this before
the dupont campaign? << specific sino-soviet relations point. 70s.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> mircea_popescu: who smoked pot when ro was 'unaligned' ? << literally nobody. cops had no fucking idea what it smelled like, even. i don't mean "some". i mean you couldn't find a beat cop
that did.
funkenstein_: stuff goes for a few bucks a gram in colombia ascii.. and considered standard fare for
teenage kids by conservative parents
trinque: always wondered wtf people meant in re:
that
trinque: mircea_popescu: doesn't seem
to me
that it is
trinque: I
think
the addictive aspects of cocaine vary wildly person
to person
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform iirc you wanted ppl
to check and confirm.
funkenstein_: might be compared
to
the debeers empire as well
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: But
that is leaf amenable
to further processing. Best lock
the active into another wax for
the posturing.
mircea_popescu: cocaine is supposed
to be
this rite of passage for
the more fit
teenaged girl,
funkenstein_: you can get benzocaine gum, basically
the same
thing
trinque: I don't really see much difference between
that one and caffeine
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> <BingoBoingo>
thestringpuller: He was/is a white hamplanet with an enabling family. <<< what
the fuck, hamplanet robbery ? (We joked before he ran away
to Chicago
that he robbed
the bank with a sandwich, but no. Small
town bank with limited highways)
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i wouldn't sell cocaine either, at any rate not differently freom how it's done now, at which point you'd saysomething liek "mp is nao usg" and i'd hit you in
the head with a six kg single crystal metaphetamine hammer.
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> what was his getaway car,
the arianne ? << Chrysler PT Cruiser his girlfriend owned (yes owned, evidence)
phf: asciilifeform: so you're saying a rewrite of
the whole chunk is required? also do you
think a careful inventory of references with cleanup of corresponding
tree a doable approach?
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> it's just
this device
that
tells me
that usg is still alive and strong. << USSRia hates Drugs
too
mircea_popescu: <BingoBoingo>
thestringpuller: He was/is a white hamplanet with an enabling family. <<< what
the fuck, hamplanet robbery ?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: 0.7-ish codebase radically different from 0.5-ish. It isn't until 0.8's pretend BDB abandonment
that
things get alien
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: C-ish language is being learned, I
think. If not
that surely something else
phf: asciilifeform: your original analysis was
that std::array (or was it boost) failed
to release memory when prompted. seems like can either figure out how
to prompt it harder, or substitute a structure. my other guess is
that refs
to same
transactions are kept elsewhere, so are not actually release on clear, i haven't investigated
that option yet
though.

thestringpuller: 2 years for 5 grams? RO is lenient as fuck.
BingoBoingo ignorant of machine. Only understands patches by forcing
them on
to wildly differing codebases like 0.7-ish
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Many
things patched in 0.5.4 candidate were patched by unlike yet have adaptable fixes. Waiting on
that plug
to be patched before publishing next 0.7.x bastardo codebase
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: As far as I know parts were changed, but I suck at CplusCock+ so I have
to assume improvements would be open
to
trial.
assbot: Logged on 07-10-2015 01:38:05; mircea_popescu: and in general,
two
types of problems. 1. "build me a bridge" ; 2. "find me
the leak". 1 is blocking, but 2 isn't - if a baby goat finds
the leak
the leak's just as found as if jesus had found it.
assbot: Logged on 07-10-2015 01:37:25; BingoBoingo: phf: Pls
take it. I've been waiting
to fuck something of
this sort on my 0.7-ish
tree.
BingoBoingo: Moral of
the story, On 'Murican campuses if at all possible you make friends with
the foozball
team.
BingoBoingo: Big Negro Savior
though came out from
the bushes an grabbed Jimmy when he popped me in
the Jaw. Jimmy was missing
the rest of
the semester. Apparently he
transfered.
☟︎ phf: selling jenkem i see,
that's 5
to 10
BingoBoingo: Jimmy boy was pissed, but
then I informed him
the "weed" in his spliffs was literal shit.
BingoBoingo remembers
this
time back in undergrad at McKendree where in his freshman year
this M named chick got busted for peddling weed
to
this Jim Chronister motherfucker (actual name because informants suck).
Turn out Jim Chronister made a deal with
the local 5-0. People assumed on campus I smoked weed so he
tried
to buy from me. Given his reputation I sold Jim
the finest handrolled cigarettes filled with great
Turkish rolling
tobac
thestringpuller: BingoBoingo: I
thought bank robbery was an instafelony
too. How does one get probation fro
that? Returned
the money?
BingoBoingo: Trying
to force small
trades was how people politely let everyone else know
they were compelled
to
turn state's witness
BingoBoingo: Trading smaller was a sure sign of a bust
though.
thestringpuller: unless
they are super rich kids and parents do drugs /w kids etc.
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu:
the high schoolers usually buy per joint cause
they don't know any better
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> can you even get pot in smaller chunks
than 5 grams ? << In a collegiate environment last I heard people
traded pot in single grams if it did not smell of dogshit.
BingoBoingo: Anyways aparently in
the USistan no matter where you are, if your parents ahve affairs with
the right other people's parents...
BingoBoingo: Sure his parole should be revoked for his latest incident of IDENTITY FUCKING
THEFT, but
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo
that's
the importance of massmarket for you. he did something
that's mainstream
mircea_popescu: in fact, romania disbars das if shown
they
tried
to
taint
the
trial, which is what plea bargain would be in sane places.
BingoBoingo: <thestringpuller> 2 years for 5 grams? RO is lenient as fuck. << Illinois would plea
that out
