Chillum: like you could encrypt a message
that could be decoded until a specific date
decimation: asciilifeform: but if your purpose is
to send bitcoin
to random person, just send it
to a random address?
Chillum: it would be nice if
there was a public/private key system somehow based on
time
Chillum: hehe, make it so
that you ahve
to brute force it for 4000 years?
Chillum: seriously
though, create a giant pyramid over it
decimation: Chillum: and how are you gonna keep some random chump from ambling by and liberating
the contents?
Chillum: decimation: a bitcoin wallet with 1 bitcoin,
think about how much it will be worth in 4000 years!
nubbins`: and walks away without
turning off
the stove burner o.O
nubbins`: says "oh, i forgot", pours his quarter-cup of water into a mug, puts
the pot (which has only contained water) into a dirty sink for someone else
to wash
Chillum: milled stone may be
the choice for something
to last for 100 years +
nubbins`: heads upstairs,
the water boils, boils, boils down
to a quarter-cup before he wanders back down
nubbins`: so
the roomie
that's being kicked out: he puts on a pot of water
to boil yesterday
trinque: I could see
there being disorders of
the sort of universe modeling of
the brain
nubbins`: and shit gets stuck in
them sometimes
nubbins`: why does it make me feel like
throwing up sometimes?
nubbins`: does
this make sense? what is its cause?
nubbins`: but it's stuck in my head and every once in a while i get a grain of salt stuck
to my
thumb
trinque: I'm confused;
this was an object or just a sensation?
nubbins`: no, i mean
the sensation of rolling
the grain in my fingers
nubbins`: this feeling, of rolling
the whatever-it-was between my fingers, comes back from
time
to
time
decimation: el Lawrence said it was
the flesh
that puts it
there
nubbins`: i have
this hazy memory of being extremely sick as a young child, and rolling some very small object, like
the size of a grain of sand, between my
thumb and forefinger as i writhed in agony
nubbins`: anyway, who can say how a
thing gets into a brain?
trinque: getting all
this sensory input from a
thing
that shouldn't be
there
trinque: hm
that could be an extremely annoying feeling
nubbins`: but yes,
that sounds quite apt
nubbins`: alf you just made me dictionary
two words,
tyvm
assbot: Logged on 27-02-2015 02:39:08; decimation: "LAWRENCE Look, Ali. Look!
That's me. What colour is it?
That's me! And
there's nothing I can do about it. ALI A man can do whatever he wants, you said. LAWRENCE He can, but he can't want what he wants.This is
the stuff [his flesh]
that decides what he wants."
nubbins`: consider
the afore-shared "twwly"
nubbins`: asciilifeform
the most common one i've seen is "the part just felt wrong being
there"
nubbins`: how
they get
the obsession, probably 99% of
them couldn't
tell you
decimation: so you put it in your 'safe deposit box', and
the bank employees read
trinque: not how
they get
the obsession in
the first place, but how it ends
trinque: that begins
to make a shred of sense
trinque: so doing it ends
the obsession? or is
that
the hope?
nubbins`: anyone who claims
to have a grasp on
the processes behind
these decisions is blowing smoke up your ass
trinque: and how
that could run away
Chillum: the gold would not have
to be
thick
nubbins`: now imagine how difficult it would be
to
take
the internal state of /wanting
to amputate part of your body/ and convey it
Chillum: the fact is we have a big
tech gap when it comes
to storing digital information for long
term
nubbins`: sure. and
that's for something as
trivial and banal as a fucking /job/.
Chillum: asciilifeform: nice link, I have read
that before
trinque: but yes, very hard
to
take internal state and convey it sometimes, for anyone
trinque: nubbins`: I am invariably dull when it comes
to expressing my feelings
to others
Chillum: a
true engraving or outside cut-out would be more ideal
nubbins`: most people don't
tend
to
think about personal crises once
they've passed, so you're not unusual in
that regard. did you find it hard
to succinctly state what was wrong,
to yourself or
to others?
decimation: asciilifeform: or you could use a 'letter & number die punch set', it would
take quite awhile
to wear off
trinque: that relates
to how I see
this, as a sort of obsession with identity
Chillum: All I know is
that anodizing is used instead of paint when something needs
to stand up
to more abuse
trinque: nubbins`: identity-wise? I don't
tend
to
think about it. maybe something
to do with a job
nubbins`: what's
the most complicated personal crisis you've had
to deal with?
decimation: if you want
to make a 'long life wallet' just get a small sheet of bronze and hand-etch with 'hand engraver' for 10 bux
trinque: nubbins`: I'll agree with
that
nubbins`: what i'm
trying
to say is
that it's impossible for me, or you,
to say what any individual's motivations are when doing something
this extreme
trinque: we just know how
to
turn a dick inside out and sew it inside
trinque: turns out
though
that we don't know how
to make men into women
trinque: nubbins`: but was
the guy getting his dick chopped off one of
those?
Chillum: etched PCB wallets is something I
tried
nubbins`: multiply
that by 1000, and make it about having a pussy instead of a dick.
nubbins`: i mean, REALLY, REALLY wanted
to
trinque: nubbins`: yeah
this one
time..
Chillum: decimation: it is cheaper
to just use ferric chloride
trinque: nubbins`: what do you
think it is?
trinque: nubbins`: I was
talking about
the guy who chops his finger off
decimation: Chillum: why not use milling bit
to mill pcb?
nubbins`: trinque people who feel
they're being cheated of pain and risk usually
take up dangerous hobbies
Chillum: it would be nice
to cut PCBs but not going
to happen in my price range
decimation: asciilifeform: wouldn't most of
the photons get reflected dangerously around
the area?
trinque: just seems a bad substitute for whatever used
to satisfy it, if
that's so
Chillum: I expect
to remove a layer of foil, laminent or anodization from metal
trinque: that one sort of works... "I'm wired
to experience far more pain and risk
than I've ever seen in
this boring life"
trinque: nubbins`: I was actually looking for an explanation for
the
thing
Chillum: I don't expect
to cut metal
trinque: maybe life is just
too boring for
them?
decimation: does usg even allow you
to possess a laser like
that without permission?
