tend
to show up late at parties because
they figure
they can always steal
the cake anyway, so why bother go early ? Let
the suckers figure out first - on
their own dime - where
the good cakes are,
then just swoop in and collect...
This means
the only way
they can get in is if you let
them get in. Don’t let
them get in for cheap -
they have no business here.' (mp's

the Pantsuit eating
their own, get out of
the way files
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform:
There's a whole mess of
these plant extracts and research chemicals
that get affiliate marketing promoted until crack downs come. Pantsuitists, alt-pantsuitists, and color pillers all get marketed
the stuff.
BingoBoingo: Some of
the better living
through Chemistry bloggers promoted it for its own affiliate marketing merits
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's got some alkaloids
that are apparently partial agonists on
the opioid receptors. Was explicitly banned once it started making
the news for being a potential methadone alternative for relieving overdosable opiate cravings.
mircea_popescu: i
think
the list is actually just about right : lexapro, cymbalta, ssri antidepressants, gabapentin, kratom, and finally, with your permission last on
the list, afghanistan.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: GPG me
the part number. I'd still like
to look. If I find one
the value of knowing where it came from would be far greater
than
the battery.
BingoBoingo would like
to see if
this battery can be sourced locally
BingoBoingo: Is
this
the first
time since instrumenting
that
the high battery
temperature warning has happened?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: How hot is "battery
temperature high" in
this context
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm comparing 40 an acre
to
the horizontal apartment complexes locally here
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: suburbia isn't a
thing
to compare here. Suburbia is 4-8 derps per acre paying ground rent
to
the mammy lords at
the school house while imagining
themselves lords because of cheap credit.
mircea_popescu: that some random knave ran away from mansion service imagined himself apt
to evaluate "what will happen", and
then evaluated wrongly is one
thing. "who could have predicted", back in 1909,
that
there's only one kind of poor --
the ~deserving~ poor.
mircea_popescu: a century of "we are doing
things for
the poor" bore its fruits.
BingoBoingo: "forty cottages had
to be crowded on
two acres" <<
This doesn't seem very dense at all for horizontal development.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform long ago neutered. also
their damned fault.
mircea_popescu: but as a factual matter : "tearing down" a duke is always easy enough from behind. dealing with
the cost-of-consequence of having
torn down your duke, intractable problem.
mircea_popescu: this is not strictly
true. if i were duke in 1810 -- my house army'd been besieging london.
mircea_popescu: yet
the man said, "In any century before
this one, a people as divided as
the British over Europe would have started murdering each other long ago. "
mircea_popescu: duke of york, raises yeomanry, goes
to london hangs lloyd george by
the appendix. big whoop.
mircea_popescu: their own damned fault, should have simply fired cannon into
the idiot's house.
mircea_popescu: ie, "duke more expensive
to upkeep
than battleship but easier
to scrap" ?
mircea_popescu: they advanced such a great step
towards good
time i couldn't begin
to
tell you.
mircea_popescu: schmucks. where's may's speech
taking account how HOW UTTERLY
THAT UTOPIA FAILED!
mircea_popescu: "This is a war Budget. It is for raising money
to wage implacable warfare against poverty and squalidness. I cannot help hoping and believing
that before
this generation has passed away, we shall have advanced a great step
towards
that good
time, when poverty, and
the wretchedness and human degradation which always follows in its camp, will be as remote
to
the people of
this country as
the wolves which once infested its fores
mircea_popescu: pro
tip : whenever
the inferior whine about maltreatment, it's a sure sign as if god spoke himself
that you're sparing
the rod excessively, and spoiling
the children in consequence.
mircea_popescu: cuz
that's what
the scum was saying, back in 1910,
to get "the people's budget" nonsense passed into law :
that
the one
thing keeping
them shameful maculae on
the face of humanity is how
the lordship doesn't
treat
them well enough.
mircea_popescu: im sure if we had a code of conduct
to guarantee greater accessibility and respect for all morons, a lot more catalogs would be produced.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-29 16:05 kanzure:
that's a reasonable request. i'll make catalog.
mircea_popescu: point here being,
that
they crearted a
thing, a year ago. and
then
the
thing
they created a year ago was found not good, and was reformed, months ago. and reformed it stands as called, and well...
the minds
that
think
thus
think
thus, and do everything else exactly as you'\d expect.
mircea_popescu: i don't even need
to declassify anything
to make it plainly evident shannon kent wasted her youth on java.
mircea_popescu: check out
that beautiful instruction set : 01 : warfare maritime ; 02 : [cocksucking, redacted] ; 03 : strike ; 04 : defense ; 05 : warfare ; 06 : warfare ; 07 : warfare.
mircea_popescu: during a ceremony
that also included
the establishment of
three additional subordinate commands: Cryptologic Warfare Maritime Activity (CWMA) 61, Cyber Strike Activity (CSA) 63 and Cyber Defense Activity (CDA) 64."
mircea_popescu: "Today (Aug 10) at 1000 EST, under
the leadership of VADM
T. J. White, Cryptologic Warfare Group-SIX (CWG-SIX) will establish Cryptologic Warfare Activity (CWA) 65, Cryptologic Warfare Activity (CWA) 66 and Cryptologic Warfare Activity (CWA) 67. CDR Mark Boggis will
take command of CWA 65, CDR Joseph Harrison will
take command of CWA 66 and CDR William Wilson will
take command of CWA 67. CWG-6 was established on June 9, 2017
mircea_popescu: that
they don't do anything in particular should be self-evident, but here's some lulz re "intelligent design" :
☟︎ mircea_popescu: ie, worked for cwa-66, item recently (months ago) created by
the 2017 vintage cwa-6 (itself a rebranding of NIOC Maryland aka NSGA Fort Meade).
mircea_popescu: Navy Chief Cryptologic
Technician Shannon M. Kent, 35. keks mmkay.
mircea_popescu: in fact,
that (ulteriorly reconstructed) scene between whistler, wilde, shaw and albert-edward (for whom, let's not forget,
the cockpiece is named) is pretty much
the exact historical moment.
mircea_popescu: in fact, all signs point
to oscar wilde & friends.
that's when it all died -- oxford,
the crown, culture, everything.
mircea_popescu: nah, i gave example, it was certainly
there at crecy etc.
mircea_popescu: the country, and with it
the nation, exists from and of
the king,
that crispin's day speech is what every "constitution" has been
trying
to be ever since.
a111: Logged on 2017-08-28 23:10 mircea_popescu: kanzure " Obviously
there is no possiblity of meaning outside of a structure of authority, and
the authority can not be predicated on
the meaning."
mircea_popescu: in any case, it must be said "Whether
this is an especially noble reason for not engaging in civil war is an open question, but
the fact remains
that in
the end what binds nations
together is not some windy romantic nonsense about "culture" or "heritage" or "the soil" but commerce." is flatly wrong.
BingoBoingo: From here
the British problem is you have
this giant Island farm unified after centuries of clan disputes. After
the farm is unified
the winning family... retires.
mircea_popescu: "Many paternalist conservatives, including
those of
the "One Nation"
tendency with which May identifies, have made a point of disagreeing with Lady
Thatcher's famous dictum
that
there is no such
thing as society. But it increasingly looks as if she was right. We don't have society anymore but rather an economy." << incidentally,
that is EXACTRLY what gave europe
the villa economy, hence villeins ie diocletian's chained plebs,
mircea_popescu: but anyway, in
the us
the strictly only avenue left
to
the dnc is
to "pretend"
to "ignore". if
they engage
they get crushed.
the party's already gone as a going concern, for which reason :
the only way an imaginary party can continue its imagined hold on worldly
things is
through "ignoring"
them.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: i suspect
the problem's very much
that
the 2020s are not
the 1980s, naught else.
mircea_popescu: one can't help but wonder how'd have
thatcher fared in
this environment.
BingoBoingo: Look at Pelosi, all
the other career women are
telling her
to respond
to everything
Trump does as
though a
toddler is having a
tantrum (i.e. ignoring him unless he 'calms down' for an impossible in
this case definition of calm down). Nevermind
the response is not only what
Trump wants, it is what
the hayseeds and others supporting
Trump want.
BingoBoingo: Kinda
the problems all
the "independent" "careerwomen" are running into, no?
mircea_popescu: entirely ungovernable item,
they've reconstructed historical scotland.
mircea_popescu: what've "they" fucking accomplished yet, with
their ever-so-clever scapegoating merry-go-round ? economy flats around
the ugliest, shittiest
town in all of europe, and 12yos who'd rather be raped & set on fire by pakis
than
talk
to "her majesty"'s clerks ?
☟︎ mircea_popescu: and as far as "they" are concerned...
there goes england,
today in
the exact same political position as if it had simply handed over
the empire
to wilhelm in 1905 -- minus, of course,
the cost of
two costly wars with germany.
mircea_popescu: what sort of hay must
the brainbox of
this "independent" "careerwoman" contain
to not realise as much ?
mircea_popescu: that poor
theresa may moron. so
they "rejected" her plan, ie,
they set up a scapegoat
to "come up with a plan" for
the distinct purpose of rejecting it loudly whatever it may be.
