nubbins`: altho i should
tell you stories about
the roommate who didn't have a sense of smell...
nubbins`: Adlai hey
that only happened once!
Adlai: not
to mention landlording cretins
nubbins` was dismayed at rudimentary binding
techniques used by
the atelier
that inspired him
to start printing on paper
nubbins`: but yeah, drugs and bitcoin are prolly
the 2 stupidest so far
nubbins`: hey,
the only wood i collect
these days is in pressed-pulp form
mircea_popescu: you do find
the stupidest shit
to dedicate yourself
to...
nubbins`: and i've been all over
the world
tracking
the shit down
nubbins`: not bragging or anything but i've never seen any silkscreen prints
that are better
than my own
nubbins`: "now you can'
tell if it's because it's on purpose, or because my mesh hasnt been changed in 5 years so it's noisy and has zero
tension"
nubbins`: so
they added "grunge
texture" in photoshop
to cover up
their shit
technique
nubbins`: it's because
the creators didn't know wtf
they were doing and were unable
to pull clean prints
nubbins`: if you ever wonder why "grunge
texture" got so popular in gig posters and silkscreened art prints
nubbins`: it's a difficult skill
to master, really difficult
nubbins`: just stood around being weird and
told people
to do shit
nubbins`: generally didn't even pull
the squeegee himself
mircea_popescu: now go find a woman
to be nice and sense-of-humour-y
to.
mircea_popescu: then all
the derps hoping it wears off go all nutty "Any of you have some light
to shed on a few of
these questions?
nubbins`: "the ink was caked on and cracked all over" was saddening
to read
mircea_popescu: basically more of
the same "warhol is
this whore who made a lot of money and we being from america
think
this is art"
nubbins`: and many
times
the printers were just given a bunch of colours and combos
to work
through."
nubbins`: "got a chance
to look at a bunch up close in a gallery in hawaii,
the ink was caked on and cracked all over. He used a bunch of different printers.
the actual production of
the art was no biggie, he just found images with halftones already and blew
them up in a camera, or if he
took
the polaroids when he was doing all
the portraits, he added a halftone small,
then blew
them up
to make
them go ratty. rubies were cut (or stencils) for b/g,
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> was giving lazyass foundation peeps
time
to comment, but nothing lasts 4evar. << My apologies, all set.
nubbins`: stalkers are also welcome
to
try finding me on
the gp forums
nubbins`: couple of
the guys in
that
thread actually inherited some old warhol gear, pretty neat
mircea_popescu: anyway,
the "fixing" by and large leans
towards denial
there's any problem whatsoever, so far. which is why
the war.
to get back
to
the original point with adlai.
nubbins`: incidentally, all
this shit experienced a revival in western art because of warhol. and you should see pictures of
the fuckin equipment he used. super wtf.

davout: source of misunderstandings some
time :)
davout: basically
that women pretty much count a new child as "existing" as soon as
they can feel it in
their flesh, whereas men must wait
to see
the baby
nubbins`: almost certainly w/o even changing any of
the chems or supplies
davout: my wife doesn't understand when i
tell her
that newborns sort of have
to be "adopted" by
the father at some point
nubbins`: asciilifeform after looking at some solder paste press setups, yeah, you could 100% do
this in my basement
mircea_popescu: kinda why
the public discourse in natoland is so female centric
these days btw. it's not some evil conspiracy against men, it's just, we've managed
to dig out a very gendered problem and
the bitchez are stuck
trying
to fix it.
mircea_popescu: as we've become powerful,
they've suddenly got a major problem. much worse
than
teh nuclear bomb, really.
mircea_popescu: this worked fine back when
the species was powerless, because nobody really cared what women derped about.
mircea_popescu: the problem is
that an overly protective attitude
towards children ruins
them.
williamdunne: Isn't
that de-risking in
their opinion? An attempt
to secure a spouse?
mircea_popescu: that doesn't directly relate
to
the
totally nutso
things
they do with
their children. find one woman
that considers a plain "don't worry about
this one, you can make another" as an adequate condoleance over her dead baby.
nubbins`: caught a rare glimpse of him
today
nubbins`: oh man, only 4 days
til
the creature moves out
williamdunne: Able
to handle risk, i.e doesn't favour safety
williamdunne: But
there is nothing wrong with voicing women who are risk
tolerant?
Adlai: from "spharad" = spain, where
they got kicked out from by
the inquisitors, picked up some arab culture and genes for a few centuries,
then immigrated here during
the last
mircea_popescu: williamdunne
they favour "safety", and
tend
to misunderstand it.
Adlai: there is such a
thing as "arab jews",
they'll just stab you if you call
them
that
Adlai: well it's
tricky, because (arabs != muslims !=
those in conflict) with (jews != israelis != zionists)
nubbins`: ever since
that episode of Breaking Bad?
mircea_popescu: Adlai i for one believe it's driven by women. specifically :
the arabs understand voicing women is a problem and don't understand how
to fix it, whereas
the jews/xtians/other european colonists don't understand voicing women is a problem.
nubbins`: we have some metallic inks
that require ~80
threads per inch
punkman: I saw ketchup with stevia at
the super
the other day
jurov: mircea_popescu: one can get used
to it
nubbins`: asciilifeform hm i bet you need some low mesh counts for
that
Adlai: mircea_popescu:
there's some
truth
to it (pretty awesome owning both sides of
the lake!) but it seems like an overly narrow version of "it's just
tribal hysteresia
that hasn't yet settled"
nubbins`: asciilifeform
the white inks i use are somewhere between dried
toothpaste and drywall compound in consistency
nubbins`: BingoBoingo you mean
the redditards haven't
turned
them all into "sweet $2,000 off-grid houses" yet?
BingoBoingo: <nubbins`> let's feed all our clean water
to alfalfa plants so we can ship
them overseash << But It's
the only way
to get some of
these shipping containers back
to China in a manner other
than empty!
nubbins`: i could silkscreen PCBs with
this setup if i was OK with
the fumes and caustic chems
nubbins`: asciilifeform silkscreening is silkscreening,
the only major differences are (a)
the emulsion spread on screens
to hold images, and (b)
the inks

to -1 with note: I dunno, afaik he's just kinda derpy (see
http://trilema.com/2015/what-amused-me-today/ etc) but my WoT hates him now, and so I can't in good conscience keep a meaningless +1, nor do I want
to set it
to 0 because
then it gets deleted. Brb adding footnotes
to
this rating.
Adlai: some hypothesize
that
the root cause of
the middle east confilict is... water

☟︎ davout: jurov: did my
test e-mail
to btd-dev work? received some feedback myself, just making sure it's all wired up correctly on my end
Adlai: please
tell me about your water problems
nubbins`: and buy bottled water with
the money
nubbins`: let's feed all our clean water
to alfalfa plants so we can ship
them overseash
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> and so california is running out of water because while population doubled, water works have not been allowed
to go forward ; and
the us is ethically collapsing because hey... no useful violence
to be had << Also
the part where
the largest agricultural use of water in California is... Alfalfa... for export
to China as livestock fodder...
nubbins`: but luckily all
the connections are rose joints and
there's *just* enough clearance for
the
thing
to still work
nubbins`: the fuckers quite obviously dropped
the
thing on
the ground when packaging, one of
the bolts is severely bent
nubbins`: only had
to drill
two holes
through 1.4" aluminum
to install
nubbins`: oh, meantime, i purchased a micro-registration head for
the
t-shirt press,
to evaluate
Adlai: it's an advantage within certain constraints, which are rather invisible from inside
the cage
nubbins`: "i'll have
the steak sandwich" (server
takes out heavy maul and nice steak)

http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=27-04-2015#1112293 << on one end. on
the other end, it has
the advantage
that it can allow *everyone*
to pretend like
they're part of
the conversation. here people know nobody is listening
to
them, because
they have no voice. on facebook/reddit/etc, every idiot can pretend
that he's being heard because he can read himself and so why not.
nubbins`: i found
this
to be almost
the rule in peru, wondered if
the epidemic was more widespread
nubbins`: mircea_popescu do you find
that argentinians mallet
the fuck out of steaks?
