the wind which is a constant bane of
the smoker <<

pete_dushenski: allahisgreat2000: being

BingoBoingo: allahisgreat2000: It
trades is registered on MPEx
pete_dushenski: in other news, rupert murdoch stepped down as ceo of 21st century fox
today
BingoBoingo: allahisgreat2000: Well,
the
thing is since
they already get betting volume 1% keeps away erstwhile competitors
allahisgreat2000: if not
they could probably raise
to 5%, I don't
think it would seriously set people back from betting

jurov: wait
till you lose big on "easy" bets
gribble: yhwh_ was last seen in #bitcoin-assets 16 weeks, 1 day, 4 hours, 30 minutes, and 46 seconds ago: <yhwh_>
tight
jurov: BAD FOR YA, I
TOLD YOU
jurov hits nubbins` into
the head with
the pot
nubbins`: "We will continue
to combat it. We will continue our anti-drug strategy, we will
target youth with
the message
that marijuana pot is bad for
them,"
the minister said.
BingoBoingo: Brass
though generaly a useful metal. doesn't spark.
nubbins`: 10yo kid has severe epilepsy, weed reduces
their frequency by 99%, kid is not permitted
to eat hash brownie
BingoBoingo: fine,
the outer case is a plated flexible Brass,
the inner insert is rigid steel.
There is a
taper and ring combination between
the case and inset
that is
tight
to non-polar fluids. Aluminum on aluminum and Zamac on Zamac don't accomplish
this. <<< ATTN CHINESE COUNTERFEITERS PLS ACK
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Well
think about
the metals in
terms on conparatice hardness and
their willingness
to flex
BingoBoingo: combination of plated brass case and steel fuel holding insert is
the
trick (beyond measurements)
BingoBoingo pretty sure he has figured out
the part of leak resistance most zippo clones neglect.
BingoBoingo: Nah, only most
times. Most
times did it as a party
trick for visiting smoker guests.
nubbins`: works splendidly but i bet you swore for a bic each
time
BingoBoingo: <nubbins`> about as sensible as lighting a cig on an electric stove element while in
the home << have done
this numberous
times. Works splendidly
nubbins`: i dropped
the car lighter once while driving, had
to pull over
BingoBoingo: nubbins`: Yeah in previous car I disliked it. Cig sticks
the
thing stays hot so potential disaster if dropped. No point in it if it can only be safely used while parked or staopped
nubbins`: about as sensible as lighting a cig on an electric stove element while in
the home
nubbins`: plus
they get dirty w/ ash etc
nubbins`: just as likely for
the cig
to stick
to
the coil and you end up with a hot cherry in your lap
BingoBoingo: Maybe some Z80 motherfucker detects
the resistance of a lighter
BingoBoingo: My beloved Saturn, which has forded floods and
traversed cornfields... lacks one
ascii_field: BingoBoingo: why not
the electric lighter built into
the car?
nubbins`: that said,
the ubiquitous Bic lighter is a marvel in its own right
nubbins`: i can hold one 6" from my face and empty my lungs at it without extinguishing
the flame
nubbins`: "real zippos" come with lifetime warranties, and if you mail
them a broken zippo from 1930
they'll fix it for free
nubbins`: ascii_field "fake zippos" are plentiful and outnumber
the real ones
thousands
to one
BingoBoingo: I've had previous lighters of
the zippo form before , but
they almost always leaked within weeks of purchase
ascii_field: BingoBoingo: i often find
these on
the pavement. when
turned over,
they invariably read 'made in china'
BingoBoingo has used butane lighters for
the longest
time, almost always disposable.
The refilable ones don't
tend
to last.
BingoBoingo: Not a single moving part or wear item
that isn't user servicable
BingoBoingo: Excels in
the wind which is a constant bane of
the smoker
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: It's a wick
that runs
through a course of rayon balls soaked in naptha
assbot: Logged on 11-06-2015 16:36:46; BingoBoingo: Seriously
though zippo, works exactly as advertsed while made in USia. I did not know anything like
this was still made
BingoBoingo: ascii_field: Ah digital. yeah
that's analog
nubbins`: i believe you requested
this a while back
mircea_popescu: as shown by
the relative rarity of homeowners filling
thew place with drunks.
mircea_popescu: if i got
to sign checks off your bank account, i could probably have enough "friends"
to fill your house with drunks.
mircea_popescu: well, it baloons because
the state doesn't have
to pay for it.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: so it's in
the state's interest
to maximise welfare distribution
pete_dushenski: just found a curious bug in search.b-a : if
the search contains
the '%' symbol, clicking 'next page' sends you back
to
the blank search homepage
mircea_popescu: (the
two incidentally are not at all
that distinct, welfare and ownership of people as
things)
mircea_popescu: welfare, like ownership of women and children, should be strictly in
the hands of
the citizenry.
mircea_popescu: it's a source of power for it
that it should never even dream of, and it's a source of moral hazard for society
the likes of which can not even be described.
mircea_popescu: in any case, i'll make
the point
that i am not at all against welfare, but i am dead-stone-cold against
the state having anything
to do with it.

the majority of people on irc who don't work in
tech are generally on some form of social assistance
BingoBoingo: Can't find anything online about
the great zippo layoff
though
BingoBoingo: Well
the
thing is stamped pennsylvania so likely union
pete_dushenski: also, smokers are a
traditional bunch, not looking for bluetooth connectivity on
their zippo
BingoBoingo: My
though is maybe
the manufactering setup is
too expensive
to move?
BingoBoingo: Seriously
though zippo, works exactly as advertsed while made in USia. I did not know anything like
this was still made
☟︎ pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: bureaucrats probably assumed
they could
throw manufacturing under
the bus next
mircea_popescu: as
they say, if you don't know who's next.... you're next.
mircea_popescu: and did not for a second realise
that... guess who's next ?
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski
the funny
thing is,
they watched
the internet completely destroy
the journalism business model, 1990-2010
pete_dushenski: the world must conform
to
the bureaucrat's 'ideas', namely,
the words scrawled on
the 'regulation' piece of paper
