decimation: my uni was across
the river from massive hfcs plant. every day whole *trains* of hfcs
tank cars would leave
the station
there
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Can make HCFS, but... less of it. Far less ears on
the corn
than I expect
to see.
decimation: in which cpp file is
the allocation stuff?
assbot: Logged on 05-08-2015 02:36:09; BingoBoingo: I'd use a stronger word
than
terribly, but... local fields look like shit. Shit corn and god only knows if
the soy will produce beans before becoming silage. I expect
the mold
to cause more
than a few dairy die offs when it makes it
to silage.
decimation: asciilifeform: did you figure out how you are gonna 'free'
the data pointed
to by map?
ben_vulpes: has anyone else compiled
the maxint patch and received db.log errors of "unable
to join environment"?
☟︎ BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> it's a game. who do
they actually interdict,
the "criminal" "biker gangs" ? << Much of
this demographic is USG. Not in
the informant sense, but USG peeps needed meanign in
their lives.
mircea_popescu: the problem is simply
this : as you get successful you get fat, and
that fat is
then... coming
to expect.
assbot: Logged on 04-03-2014 01:44:19; asciilifeform: or mrs.
thatcher's 'we need no more
than 15 mil. russians.
to service
the pipeline.'
☟︎ mircea_popescu: heroin is really
the perfect answer
to
the overpopulation problem.
assbot: Logged on 05-08-2015 02:24:30; asciilifeform:
the common belief in ru, i will note, is
that usg involvement in afghan is ~strictly, solely~ so
that ru cities are rotted with heroin
decimation: otherwise
the bureaucrats don't give a fuck
decimation: they do when
the papers say embarassing
things
mircea_popescu: pencildicks wanna use
the heads. because dicks frangible.
mircea_popescu: it's a game. who do
they actually interdict,
the "criminal" "biker gangs" ?
mircea_popescu: the idiotic non-violent behaviour of ruminants is not limited
to ruminants. nobody really aims
to gore
the other party.
assbot: Logged on 05-08-2015 02:22:02; asciilifeform: for instance, where are
the u.s. coast guard interdictors sunk by quadcopter-borne demolition charges ?
mircea_popescu: iirc had
that
too. if decades of practice, valid degree by default.
decimation: think of all
the bureaucrats
that would suddenly be powerless
mircea_popescu: i got
to bypass normal college entrance exams because olympiads.
mircea_popescu: nah,
the idea is
that if you get a good enough achievement, you get auto-diploma or w/e.
decimation: asciilifeform: you should
try
that in pg county
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Not on front page yet, but may as well submit since no one else
took
this low hanging
tomato
BingoBoingo: <decimation> my understanding is
that europe it is common for ee's
to be forced
to work in actual 'electrical
trade' for a
time << In hometown I once pulled permit
to fuck with wiring by saying "Hey mayor Joe, sign
this"
decimation: asciilifeform: go
try
to pull an electrical permit from pg county on
the basis of your degrees
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: You don't understand. If Assad did
this
the rope would be on Ebay
decimation: I found it disappointing
that having an ee degree counts for nothing when designing wiring for your house
decimation: my understanding is
that europe it is common for ee's
to be forced
to work in actual 'electrical
trade' for a
time
decimation didn't
take power engineering in ee school; had other
things
to worry about
decimation: which is what is split off and run
to house
decimation: yeah for example in us 3-phase 480 volt, half (phase
to neutral) is 240
mircea_popescu: i'm not entirely clear why
the
thiord phase is 160 rather
than 110 in eu syste, but anywya
decimation: us actually uses 240 for residential but it's delivered in
two phases which are split at
the panel. but it's common
to use
the full 240 for dryers and large equipment
BingoBoingo: Ozone isn't as bad as
the cigarettes I already smoke
BingoBoingo: Fuck it, I want
the raw shit before it hits
the
transformer. I want
to light my abode with an arc stretching across
the room.
BingoBoingo waiting for mails. Doing
the dance again with Uni
to set up job interview.
This
time as customer service god. Would once again
take cheapest of accomodations available for
the lulz.
BingoBoingo: Has giant ragweed made it
that far north yet?

too. <<
tell me about it
ben_vulpes: an surfeit of
things
to do and people
to do
them
BingoBoingo: Maybe? Or perhaps
they just won't get apples because economy.
BingoBoingo: Winter 2013-2014 we got weeks of subzero weather, but no lasting damage. Summer 2012 mega-drought (by midwest standards) best peaches ever no lasting damage.
This year with a bit cooler
than normal summer and lots of rain... it looks like shit is going
to be expensive for a while
BingoBoingo: If
the apple
trees start breaking up like
the peach
trees when
they put out fruit
this year
that will be a double whammy rare,
takes a decade
to catch up damage.
BingoBoingo: In a month and a half it will be interesting
to see if edible apples happen
this year.
decimation: although it looks like
the colorado river will be up
BingoBoingo: This year
though with
the water so far has been awfully bad for orchards.
BingoBoingo: Dry summers kill crops. Hot wet summers kill crops.
The best a we winter does here is offers crops a marginal head start.
BingoBoingo: Winter doesn't really matter much in
the scheme of
things outside
the California desert.
decimation: yeah makes sense. looks like usg's weather bureau is calling for a cold and wet winter for
the southern half of
the us
BingoBoingo: I'd use a stronger word
than
terribly, but... local fields look like shit. Shit corn and god only knows if
the soy will produce beans before becoming silage. I expect
the mold
to cause more
than a few dairy die offs when it makes it
to silage.
☟︎ decimation: yeah it's been
terribly wet in
the midwest
BingoBoingo: www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2015/08/04/russia_locust_invasion_swarms_of_locusts_devastate_crops_defy_government.html << Meanwhile no US news stories on
the molds which are going
to reduce North American grain yields substantially
this year.
