gabriel_laddel: ^ see the first comment on the photo
BingoBoingo: So, "Guardians of the Galaxy" least unbelievable of the Disney/Marvel movies
mircea_popescu: mike_c "легальные резиденты" my ratting comment @ the_scourge ? lol
BingoBoingo: Best I can guess alf is cold war relic Yeltsin was too drunk to deactivate and Putin found too cute to turn off
BingoBoingo: alf is more Russian than them prolly
BingoBoingo: alf is one of them
mircea_popescu: http://netsledov.ru/issledovateli-bezopasnosti-vzlomali-4096-bitnye-rsa-kluchi/ moar ru. apparently they really like alf. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell gabriel_laddel The more time I spend with nonegenarians the kinder dementia pugilistica sounds
BingoBoingo: It does. And if epoxied it not only chips, but tunnels. Too brittle
mircea_popescu: quartz chips under the blade if not epoxied
BingoBoingo: Seriously. Demanded fans every ~14-16 months on nigbuntu and nao wants to move to a 6 month schedule on OpenBSD
BingoBoingo: So, as of a few hours ago this laptop is nao on its 4th cooling fan.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I think he prefers the salutation "panzer" when so hailed
BingoBoingo: However much is on the surface

decimation: easy to clean, antibacterial
decimation: also it takes no maintenace and looks nice
BingoBoingo: Oh, but countertop quartz, are you expecting a single piece? Most nao are chip and epoxy abominations unless you beat the greek (stone people are almost always greek) appropriately
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: braced behind the chop << old-school chopping blocks did not have 'chin rests' but were something like butcher blocks
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: If ideal quartz were marketed for this purpose no staining
asciilifeform: no more porous than your house windows
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I thought they braced behind the chop
BingoBoingo: decimation: porous, loses to red wine
BingoBoingo: But poplar is only useful for filing insurance claims and watching your fuel wood burn too fast.
BingoBoingo: Even birch is useful if you want to build a brownwater vessel
BingoBoingo: Also countertops, just fuck it. Granite bleeds radon and marble stains. Just install block and sand, then replace in a decade.
decimation: I'm a sucker for a large stately sycamore tree
BingoBoingo: That is pretty beautiful. Probably will be for another decade or two
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: looked rather like this: http://poselok1928.ru/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/112.jpg
BingoBoingo: And because squirrels plant it before cats eat them for winter sustenance, squirrels plant them in the worst places
BingoBoingo: My biggest annoyance at this phase of the summer's landscaping gigs is actually hickory. Lives forever, quality wood... but... The squirrels plant it. It lays low for a couple years and then zoom towards the heavens.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: as a boy, i took a 1200km train ride. nothing but birch.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: There's a couple of older birch trees near here. Exceptional because... don't look much like the other birches.
asciilifeform: where - typically - pasture was left fallow
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: hard to trust a tree that struggles to live twice as long as a dog << brings up a point re: another tree. in ru, folks traditionally are fascinated with the huge birch forests. but consider, birch is a short-lived 'pioneer species'
decimation: english 'liberty' as founded in the magna carta is just repeating asperations until they become true
decimation: http://www.econtalk.org/archives/2015/05/nicholas_vincen.html < "The myth, even as early as the 12th century, that the English are freeborn people--it's a load of nonsense; they come from Troy; they are the exiles from ancient Troy defeated by the Greeks: they go off and they found this kingdom of England from which they eventually get a king called Arthur. But they are a freedom-loving people. They live under liberty and freedom. Of
BingoBoingo: It's just... really hard to trust a tree that struggles to live twice as long as a dog
BingoBoingo: And poplars too have a purpose. If you are otherwise broke, have rain, and really want firewood for next winter...
mircea_popescu: i guess there's that.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: I dunno hitchiker whores can make it to 40 and become settled whores unless they roll a Ted Bundy
asciilifeform: decimation: failure mode - as with most mechanisms under the sun - is from operation outside of envelope.
mircea_popescu: " more mice than meaningful social roles. With more and more peers to defend against" << that's the hot core of failure. ☟︎
decimation: note that the failure mode with the mice isn't too little information - it's too much
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo poplars are the hitchiker whore of trees. cheap, available and ineffectual.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it is an excellent model for the reddit/tumblr/etc failure modes.
BingoBoingo: But not really Lombary Poplars suck. Grow too fast, insufficient trunk strength, gets blown over on the first strong wind. And if it doesn't blow over dies at 30 anyways because fuck you.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Still there, just not poplar enough
decimation: that at trying to immanentize the eschaton
trinque: it does, the in-group signaling thing makes a lot of sense too though, and furthermore that things you can only say in your in-group are the best signals
decimation: from my point of view the whole 'gay rights' thing looks to be about bossing around whitey who cowers in learned helplessness
trinque: ah yeah, that makes sense
mircea_popescu: now, the "kill men" bla bla is exactly this : a forced jew meme for that particular subculture.
BingoBoingo: Like anything else in the postmodern era... the fandom that attaches is...
mircea_popescu: trinque the jew part i really can't explain. but a forced meme is what cancerous fags do when they try to create a meme. which is EXACTLY like what idiot kids do when they "create exchange", but exactly. ignorance so ignorant it doesn't grok why it's being ignorant but thinks itself clever.
trinque: but there's a specific blend of queer and self-destructive I've met enough times to know it's a thing
asciilifeform: a group Calhoun termed “the beautiful ones,” never sought sex and never fought—they just ate, slept, and groomed, wrapped in narcissistic introspection. Elsewhere, cannibalism, pansexualism, and violence became endemic. Mouse society had collapsed.'
asciilifeform: in large groups in the middle of the enclosure, their listless withdrawal occasionally interrupted by spasms and waves of pointless violence. The victims of these random attacks became attackers. Left on their own in nests subject to invasion, nursing females attacked their own young. Procreation slumped, infant abandonment and mortality soared. Lone females retreated to isolated nesting boxes on penthouse levels. Other males,
trinque: BingoBoingo: I'm not demonizing it at all, even waffled sufficiently to indicate this :D
asciilifeform: 'Mice found themselves born into a world that was more crowded every day, and there were far more mice than meaningful social roles. With more and more peers to defend against, males found it difficult and stressful to defend their territory, so they abandoned the activity. Normal social discourse within the mouse community broke down, and with it the ability of mice to form social bonds. The failures and dropouts congregated
BingoBoingo: trinque: Homosexuality is a thing. A number of people do it with a strong irreplacable preferance and given the roster that includes turing it isn't a thing to demonize.
trinque: that's exactly what it seems like, some biological mechanism going off due to stress or who knows what
mircea_popescu: trinque you familiar with the concepts of jews and forced memes ?
mircea_popescu: you're taking it literally.
trinque: I have no issue whatsoever with homosexuality... this thing though where what... the actual reproducing members of the species must die?
BingoBoingo: Oh twas mp who told it http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=13-02-2014#501993 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: "shut up bitch. for a thousand dollars i make my own holes."
mircea_popescu: girl in room "hello baby, where do you want to put it ? my ass ? my ..."
mircea_popescu: he does this for a while, eventually a less scrupulous owner takes his thousand
BingoBoingo suspects asciilifeform told this one
mircea_popescu: sure, be twenty, or an ounce.
mircea_popescu: straight to largest brothel. "i want a girl"
mircea_popescu: guy goes into mining town with a thousand dollars in gold.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know the thousand dollar whore joke ?
trinque: the psychology of some of these people just says "couldn't pull the trigger, didn't even have a gun"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: though, to be fair, it is 'mined' rather than synthesized ab initio. mined by selecting folks with some inclination pre-existing
trinque: someone's too full of plastic or what have you, and suddenly they're transfluid-hyperqueer
decimation: 'time for yer turn in the barrel'
trinque wonders if there's such a thing as reproductive suicide, biologically speaking
asciilifeform: gender is something allocated to one << sure. declare a lump of earth 'fork'
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo whether they're women or not is not up to them. gender is something allocated to one. by, in this case, me. << I see this.
asciilifeform: iirc kakobrekla has one of these also.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo whether they're women or not is not up to them. gender is something allocated to one. by, in this case, me.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: But the people pushing the trans/cis thing largely aren't women. They are some large women and some men who have modified their sex to a null state.
mircea_popescu: why's that girl not in here anyway ? not like ben_vulpes' gonna steal her away with his magic tango skillz...
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: sjws, actually masturbate, at least mentally, to the idea of them being blind from birth street urchin... pet sayeth - summarized: 'more complicated than this. by and large, they diagnose themselves with imagined disabilities and enjoy wearing magic disability mantle.'
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo personally, i find the aggitation of marginal women which i'd never fuck or empower anyway about how things should be very entertaining.
BingoBoingo: Lafonde guy is pretty good for the current events http://www.jameslafond.com/article.php?id=2409&pr=0
BingoBoingo: I kinda figure normal ordinary responsible people should refocus the conversation on dext vs. levo rotary. dext (normal) rotary amphetamine feels good man. levo just induces stress reactions and nihilism.
mircea_popescu: irony is wasted on the stupid.
BingoBoingo: <trinque> I had a few lols today investigating the #diecisscum and #killallwhitemen things today << I dunno why trans would label their opposition cis- because when talking isomers... transgeometric isomers tend to be poisonous, or at least less supporting of continued life than cis isomers.
decimation: more like the next season
mircea_popescu: decimation how does that work ?
decimation: in the western us, the most dangerous forest fires happen after lots of rain
mircea_popescu: in a land which had biomass growth pedal to the floor.
mircea_popescu: i think it's necessary. hegelhistory.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: after christianity (and possibly mithraism before it) pushed this notion as far as the pedal would go, for 2k yrs, big surprise ?
mircea_popescu: worthy of their own pity.
trinque: decimation: yup, this HR department morality thing is *so* protestant
mircea_popescu: because IN THAT CONTEXT, they would be heroes
