mircea_popescu: i was just filling in
the gaps, dunno wtf he actually used,
mircea_popescu: permethrin is
this contact insecticide
that is well
tolerated by mammals,
nubbins`: is relieving him of his skin before he gets sent
to
the salt mines an option?
danielpbarron: i got bit by a feral cat and freaked out less
than
this guy; didn't go
to doctor even
mircea_popescu: actually hanbot used
to feed chicken livers
to
this blind dog
that had a helper
tripod dog (one limb cut off, prolly in
tram accident).
mircea_popescu: actually i used
to know, many years ago, an old, 2/3
tailless , earless, blind
tomcat.
danielpbarron: where does he move from
that doesn't have cats? how did he figure out how
to move??
mircea_popescu: exactly. my objection isn't particularly
that
the cat got hurt as much as it is
the guy didn't.
mircea_popescu: "could a rope and an open can of
tuna solve
this problem ? naaah, best call
the plumber!"
mircea_popescu: "gee, i wonder why
the poor cat isn't scaling
the wall after being sprayer with permethrin and not being fed for a week"
jurov: yes, on such meat branch prediction and caching fail all
the
time
nubbins`: thestringpuller have you ever
thought of eating a large quantity of muscle meat as running a
tough program? 8)
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: you may appreciate
this
thought. So I like XC running, so I just like
to run
to work out. At some point it's like your body is heating up like a GPU
trying
to run a video game (hence sweat). So I've always
thought of exercising as our bodies running "tough programs". lol
assbot: Transition Dreams by Greg Egan "We can't
tell you what your own
transition dreams will be.
The only
thing
that's certain is ... (

nubbins`: skipped 4 consecutive weeks of classes mid-semester, came out w/ an 88 and a letter from
the faculty pleading me
to change majors
nubbins`: 24yo nubs was not impressed w/ having
to
take 1000-level english course with 18y/o's
Adlai: read it back when i had 4-5 hours of daily reading
time in middle school
nubbins`: speaker for
the dead and xenocide were
the height
Adlai enjoyed it
too, but it was just
too long
nubbins`: that's sorta
the last one i enjoyed
Adlai: right. ender's game's plot, with different words. it doesn't have its own plot, and i need a few decades before i can read
this author again, after children of
the mind
danielpbarron:
http://www.atruechurch.info/sabbath.html Those who
totally stop every work of
their own righteousness (Psalm 16:2; Romans 4:5, "does not work"), and believe on Him who justifies
the ungodly (Romans 4:5),
these are
those who fulfill
the law (Romans 8:4) and keep a perpetual Sabbath (Hebrews 4:3-4, 9-10).
Adlai: you know,
the ones
that actually have a plot
Adlai just read
the first 4. regrets seeing
the movie.
nubbins`: i got
through about 7 of
those books before giving up
Adlai: (which were supposed
to be one book, but eventually didn't 'fit in head')
nubbins`: yeah. reminds me of
that in some ways
jurov: good
that unlike jooz, we have danielpbarron
that knows exactly what
the letters say
Adlai: either xenocide or children of
the mind
nubbins`: which ender's game book was it where
they created a race of smart people genetically predisposed
to OCD?
Adlai: emphasis on "might", didn't help
to point out
that
the boiler basically works 24/7 and still doesn't keep up
Adlai: what i do know is
that one guy
took cold showers on
the sabbath, because if he opened
the hot water
tap, it might
trigger
the
thermostat in
the base's boiler
nubbins`: gl explaining
that
to security
jurov: dunno if i could resist
to
troll
them with a bone
Adlai only has distant secondhand knowledge of orthodox
theology
jurov: i'd ask
them, what if
there's a cemetery below him in australia?
nubbins`: examine
the utter failure of logic by
this man
☟︎ Adlai: in
the case of
the army - it would be a
terrible failure for
the officer
to let such a
thing happen!
trinque heads home, enjoyed
the philosophical bullshit session
bitstein: Yea, I remember when I was on my birthright
trip, my friend stayed behind when we visited Mt Hertzl.
nubbins`: "The man wrapped in plastic, whose photograph first appeared on
the Redditor site and later on
the Gothamist site, apparently did not want
to
take any chances. By covering himself in plastic, he established a separation between him and impurities."
Adlai actually
thought
the officer was kidding,
the first
time
this happened
trinque: ultimate
trolls, whoever
thinks up
these rules
nubbins`: "Kohenim are prohibited from coming into contact with dead bodies, and many rabbis have
taken
the strict opinion
that a Kohen may not ride in a plane if he knows ahead of
time
that it will fly directly over a Jewish cemetery."
Adlai: lest one accidentally
trespass
Adlai: yes. in
the idf, when we had guided
tours of mt hertzl (big military cemetary),
they always asked before entering if
there were any of
them present
Adlai: there's a sub-race (seriously,
they consider
themselves a separate
tribe-within-the-tribe) who are not allowed
to / don't enter cemeteries
nubbins`: the airport in
tel aviv is surrounded by cemeteries
jurov: i'd fuck myself. we'd only have
to resort
to reading /dev/random about who goes first.
☟︎ nubbins`: asciilifeform apparently some hasidic jews feel
they are not permitted
to fly over cemeteries
Adlai: probably
to prevent physical contact with female flight attendants
☟︎ trinque: stab
the clone and nothing *here* happens
trinque: in
the midst of
that level of pain no one ever questions where he begins and where he ends
trinque: caused by various head injuries over
the years
trinque: times in
the past I have had cluster headaches
Adlai: the meaning of 'me' which is consistent in
this system is: "the
thing which you perceive yourself as communicating with"
nubbins`: except
the guys w/
the plastic bags
trinque: that I am sitting here having
this experience defines "me" sufficiently for me
to use it
trinque: I will still strive
to be
the one not capped by
the 45
trinque: whether
they are
the same
to you doesn't matter at all
to me
trinque: asciilifeform: I began criticizing
the idea
that all of
the infinite me's are
to be considered as
though
they are
the me driving
the keyboard
