kakobrekla: just live it how
the lazor authors have huge beards.
mircea_popescu: or is
the plan ultimately
to obtain sphere shaped heads ?
mircea_popescu: what would make
the laser follow your face and how would it do it ?
mircea_popescu: im not sure what is going on
there, mentally. conflating
the sharpness of a blade with
the sharpness of a laser is not unlike confusing "strict discipline" in a bdsm setting with
the strict discipline of
the woodchipper cutters.
punkman: hmm,
the little flashes of light seem out of place
assbot: Logged on 30-09-2015 18:52:13; ascii_field: addendum now has film of
the sc4mz0r burning his skin with what is - bet your arse - a hot nichrome wire
assbot: Logged on 04-10-2015 06:10:56; mircea_popescu: derps shouldn't get a vote srsly. whosever can't appreciate
the scent of diesel is neither a man nor allowed
to discuss cars.
ascii_field: perhaps it was a case of 'soviet elephants are
the biggest elephants'
☟︎ assbot: Logged on 04-10-2015 05:47:46; pete_dushenski: just checked, wem still boasts 'world's largest indoor amusement park' including 'world's largest indoor
triple roller coaster', and also 'world's largest parking lot'
ascii_field: punkman:
the 'laser shaver' folks ~did~ - 2.3M last i saw
mircea_popescu: the magic is
that a) you don't need it everywhere and b) people move a lot.
ascii_field: eh,
the folks i know who have cellars, have geigers in
there
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: recall
the 'freezer air conditioner' kickstarter ?!
mircea_popescu: ask first
time home buyers looking for a detached house if
they know what a radon area is or not.
mircea_popescu: and
this is universal. ask people if
they have a foot of air behind
their fridge, and if
they say yes ask
them why, and see.
mircea_popescu: but anyway. i maintain
the general : you'd be surprised what % of
the general population washes correctly, and
the only reason you don't know about
this is
that you don't end up watching hundreds of
them shower etc.
ascii_field: next he'll
tell us
to stop adding abrasive
to
the jet mixer !
mircea_popescu: you know, low volume high pressure jet is more for cutting metal. contrary
to what men (perhaps excusably) believe, cunt's not made of steel.
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the above is decade+ out of date, maybe it mended meanwhile.
ascii_field: even
these
typically have a 'tight beam' setting
mircea_popescu: and i
thought all modern gurlz live in usg quarters with low pressure showers.
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: i
thought all modern gurlz had dildonic pressure-shower
things now
mircea_popescu: (you'd be surprised what % of "first world"
teenagers discover on
the porn set
that yes you're supposed
to wash in between
the clitoral hoodand
the clitoris, what
the fuck. it's still part of you, no matter what your dumb mom might have said christ
told her.)
ascii_field: try
to reason with
the walrus,
the lion, yes.
ascii_field: picture an animal
trainer, perhaps in a circus, who were
to somehow forget
that his 'patients' are animals.
mircea_popescu: "what do you mean my snatch stinks, I'VE ALWAYS WASHED IT LIKE
THAT"
mircea_popescu: it's just...
the sleep of reason. "habits" and habituation
take over.
mircea_popescu: and
then, because
this is
the lulzy part, it's like a fucking prion
this
thing.
then! people who should fucking know better
try and cater
to it! and
then
they get used
to
THAT and get all agressed when you don't.
assbot: Logged on 04-10-2015 01:41:52; mircea_popescu: ag3nt_zer0 it's just standard confirmation
time.
the problem with
technology is
that it works a certain way, which people actually understand. users, however, which are eminently NOT people, but fucking animals, don't care about all
that. instead
they "try"
things, and
then "come
to expect" on
the basis of you know,
two attempts last Sunday. and
then get all aggitated if
their unfounded, poorly resea
ascii_field: i can't really blame
the cn folks for having an active 'mortido'
ascii_field has colleagues who entertain him with choice security camera footage from
the middle kingdom - involving items such as escalator-as-woodchipper, phalanxes of motorbikes flattened by
trucks going
the wrong way, etc
mircea_popescu: china, meanwhile, has been in
the business of being europe while pretending
to be congo.
mircea_popescu: how is it not as disgraceful, you know ?
the us is in
the business of being congo while pretending
to be europe.
mircea_popescu: ascii_field well, it is also known
that many streets do not have fiber,also.
mircea_popescu: the historical "sexual modesty" of north america being
the original, and
to
this day best example. in its many plurious expressions, from "rright
to life"
to
that derp linked yesterday or w/e
ascii_field: this is a disgraceful and perhaps little-known
thing, but very many american streets do not have piped gas.
ascii_field: my current understanding is
that usg has been specifically squeezing diesel heat users -
they get untaxed fuel
that is
theoretically usable in
trucks, and folks often 'cheat'. it has a colouring agent, and in parts of usa where
this
type of heater is common, policemen will often dip a wooden stick into a
truck's
tank
to
test for cheat
mircea_popescu: the one line on which entrenched rent seeking interest and stupid but unaware youthful enthusiasm meet, is
this particular
type of idiocy.
ascii_field: there (and afaik in most of
the world) it is still sop.
assbot: Logged on 04-10-2015 06:23:34; mircea_popescu: punkman iirc
they bury a 20-50 cubic metre
tank for you if you ask.
mircea_popescu: trinque> dude, I leave for a weekend and a chick with great
tits from
TX shows up called AgentScully WITH
THINKPADS << prolly shortlived
mircea_popescu: all
this
timswansonism i swear. "we are so and so" because words and
things so we don't have
to wot or anything. we could put
the nonsense in a pdf if you prefer,
that makes it more legit!
mircea_popescu: <trinque> and I'll
tell you what;
this country is gorgeous. It'd be quite a nice place under new management. << word. nothing wrong wih
the states mostly on
the grounds
the mob stuck
to
the coasts.
assbot: Logged on 30-09-2015 16:26:56; mike_c: yeah.. my available gaming
time is down
to nil right now. Busy working on a sekrit project.
trinque: and I'll
tell you what;
this country is gorgeous. It'd be quite a nice place under new management.
trinque is in Denver about
to snooze;
the pass
through from Wyoming
tried
to kill me with fog and slippery roads, but I bested
them
trinque: dude, I leave for a weekend and a chick with great
tits from
TX shows up called AgentScully WITH
THINKPADS
mircea_popescu: tho honestly, i do not currently believe
the old fucks actulaly have it in
them.
mircea_popescu: it is conceivable, if
the same pencildicks keep on with
the
tail up, "regulate" blablabla
that we WILL have a market in stolen daughters
traded around
to prove a point for a few years.
mircea_popescu: things normalized by 1995 or so, which is why
this is a derp field now.
mircea_popescu: (echos of
this problem are seen in patent nonsense like "embagro russia"
that so miserably backfired last year)
mircea_popescu: the car
theft
thing was very briefly +ev, right after fall of su when a lot of otherwise powerful and important people didn't have
their power and importance correctly credentialled by
the western pencildicks
pete_dushenski:
there is little evidence of “successful” criminals or consistent earnings from
theft." << because only loser criminals waste
their
time on derpy 'scientific studies'. self-selecting much ?
☟︎ pete_dushenski: and now, your moment of zen : "I investigate self-reported
theft data in
the NLSY 1997 Cohort for
the years 1997–2011. Several striking patterns emerge. First, individuals appear
to be active
thieves for extremely short periods – in most cases in only one year, and fewer
than 5% of
thieves for more
than
three years out of
the 15 years of data. Second, self-reported earnings from
theft are generally very low and
mircea_popescu: "The lack of
transparency and regulatory oversight raises a number of risks for users and also poses risks for
the payments system,
the integrity of
the financial system and
the erosion of
the
tax base.
pete_dushenski: have been quite
the political heavyweight. i'm expecting it
to be quite a splashy affair.
mircea_popescu: "If I sell you a few kilograms of depleted uranium and you use it
to create a dirty bomb
that renders most of
the East Coast inhabitable, how is
that my fault?"
pete_dushenski: "After
the release of iOS 9.0.2 on Wednesday, which fixed a number of bugs including a lock screen exploit, Apple stopped signing iOS 8.4.1 and iOS 9.0 firmware for compatible devices, prohibiting users who updated from downgrading." << no going backwards !
☟︎ pete_dushenski: and while i've had my fun on
the beach in puerto vallarta, god invented beach chairs for a reason !
pete_dushenski: my aesthetic sensibilities care not for
the practical considerations of
tumblr hos
assbot: In which Volkswagen
takes aim at
the insanity of statal overbearing. | Contravex: A blog by Pete Dushenski ... (

punkman: I use maybe 500L of heating oil in
the winter, yeah
mircea_popescu: but otherwise, heating off
the damned
tank with ferried gas etc is still cheaper
than using electricity.
mircea_popescu: course greece (esp stuff like crete) is a bit of an outlier. no gas lines, which is unheard of in yurp, and no real need
to heat.
punkman: maybe when
they start drilling for oil/gas south of
the island
mircea_popescu: punkman iirc
they bury a 20-50 cubic metre
tank for you if you ask.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: (salt content is a function of intended maturation period,
the longer you wanna keep it around
the saltier. still, within some bounds)
pete_dushenski: punkman i have a propane bbq but only because 45 year-old condos don't have natural gas lines here. most houses do
though.
mircea_popescu: gets stronger
the longer it waits, of course, but
the salt doesn't get it runny.
mircea_popescu: anyway, re
the cheese, as apparently it's unknown other
than "that south
transylvanian cheese" : sheepmilk cheese is cut up
thinly, salt is added and
ths is mixed (often, by hand).
the result is placed in a
tube made out of pine bark. it may or may not be smoked. it can also be placed in a sheep's stomach. inthis arrangement it keeps indefinitely, it is geenraly consumed after about a year.
punkman: I want a gas kitchen/stove but I'd have
to refill
tanks which kinda sucks
