cazalla: a kid would be lucky
to get 1 meal a day with such a woman
cazalla: mircea_popescu, because she fucked around with shit like
tramadol
mircea_popescu: then you can make comments
to
them about
their black boyfriends and we can ostracize you and
take your stadium away.
cazalla: dependent on bitcoin, goes up enough, i have a place or
two for such women
cazalla: damn, she was
the best lay but would've made for a shitty mother
cazalla: nah 2 in cunt, guess 1 in
the ass
too
davout: "she's starting by getting used
to
the bat's presence your honor"
cazalla: i could've claimed so with
the ex gf but not
this woman
mircea_popescu: seriously, nobody run
the endless reels of "woman fucks baseball bat" for
the court on
that one ?
cazalla: not "not much reason" but no reason, why would a law abiding citizen keep his sporting equipment under
the bed? surely it is in garage with
the rest of
the foosballs etc
mircea_popescu: what
the fuck "not much reason
to keep it
there". what fucking reason does uninvited
third party have
to be in your bedroom ?
cazalla: lazer illegal, plastic knife illegal (if used as weapon), baseball bat also illegal if kept in bedroom because no legitimate reason
to keep it
there, must fetch from car and come back
to bedroom
to beat off attacker
mircea_popescu: ;;google guy
that crossed atlantic in a barrel died in new york, slipping on banana peel
davout: mircea_popescu:
to be honest, a strategically banana peel might be more effective in
this particular case
mircea_popescu: now i understand finally
the crazy shit stick on all sides of rifle bit.
cazalla: davout, not even mine is big enough
to kill loaded with booze
cazalla: someone is breaking into my home.. best i call
the police
to come in 10m
time because law does not permit me
to own a shot gun
to blast
the cunt in seconds
mircea_popescu: cazalla "mandatory sentencing" is
the most ridiculous perversion of justice ever.
mircea_popescu: davout are you intimating
the bureaucracy's ineffective because it lives in its own world anyway ?
cazalla: they're
trying
to push
through mandatory sentencing for weapons here down under.. 5 years for
trafficking hand guns etc
davout: "thank you for
this kalashnikov, may i have my receipt"
mircea_popescu: (anyone notice how
those "limits" are not yearly indexed, like govt pensions ?)
mircea_popescu: course inflation'd have naturally fixed
that over
time.
mircea_popescu: no but seriously, someone could use 3k euros
to buy a proper rifle + bullets.
davout: few days ago in france: "terrorism is bad, let's lower
the limit for cash payments from 3000
to 1000€"
Adlai: so maybe, lobbyists looking for lobbies
to lob should
try
to get all aircraft windows
tinted
mircea_popescu: anyway, i suppose
the difference between "this is slightly annoying' and "this is
terrorism" has long been lost.
davout: look, i'm not arguing
that because
they are annoying and potentially dangerous
to aircrafts
that gives a justification
to anyone
to forbid
them, simply stating
that retards will be retards, and annoy pilots in a sensitive flight phase
mircea_popescu: good cause
there's all sorts of instructional videos on how
to defend yourself.
mircea_popescu: for
that matter, suppose some asshole runs around
throwing banana peels right before people. and he gets busted for "assault with a dangerous weapon".
mircea_popescu: the discussion wasn't if
this is annoying or not, but whether
the drone droning about weapons had a point. at least in my head.
Adlai: why aren't
the
terrorists yelling fire in crowded
theatresL
davout: that's kind of like saying "if banana peels are dangerous, why don't
the US marines carry
them around" :D
mircea_popescu: davout but it
turns out, stuff like aegis cruisers don't have lasers installed
to blind enemy pilots, dropped chaff isn't
tiny shining laser pointers etc.
mircea_popescu: Adlai you want
the same exact set of
transactions
to have been accepted.
Adlai: what [i
think] you want is identical answers
to whether a
transaction is valid
davout: i
think you underestimate
the danger of having a laser pointed at you when you're doing an approach
mircea_popescu: Adlai i suppose he meant bitwise identical star,
to be
translated as, same
txn
mircea_popescu: because it distracts from a discussion about how
they suck, and people should fire
them
mircea_popescu: when met with any novel
thing,
the bulk will shrug and carry on,
the 19% marginals will yak about it,
mircea_popescu: this is fine as far as
the system goes, it's own "democratic" logic, et all.
mircea_popescu: then bureaucrat drones are going on about weapons and whatnot, with nary a clue about anything but what could be persuasively argued
to a mostly clueless public.
mircea_popescu: davout pilots did not make anything up.
they say it's fucking annoying. im sure it is.
davout: instead of putting
their shades on and shrugging it off
assbot: Logged on 26-02-2015 21:23:55; asciilifeform: if ends up with bitwise identical blockchain on disk (minus
time data)
then quite likely correct.
davout: it's unclear
to me why pilots would make
that up
davout: and you have a larger view later on
the video
mircea_popescu: pretty much exactly consistent with what i[ve been saying last
time we did
this laser
thing
davout: if
that's
the effect on
the cam, it's not a complete stretch
to say
that you can believe pilots when
they say it's blinding
cazalla: the australian law, at least as i see it, was more
them saying, ok you've had your fun but no more of
this please
davout: not saying
that
this is a good reason
to forbid lasers, i'm saying
they can be pretty dangerous
davout: "Pilots unanimously say
that
the effect of a laser-pen's beam in
the cockpit is very similar
to
the effect of a car's high-beam headlights at a short distance -- it blinds you.
The decision-making
time before a landing is only 10 critical seconds, pilots say -- and
these moments are not
to fight green laser beams, but
to make critically important decisions. "
mircea_popescu: but
those facts don't make derpy lasers "weapons" and etc etc.
mircea_popescu: now, mind you, i'm
the first
to agree
the lasers are fucking annyoing and
the idiots wielding
them need better hobbies.
davout: you don't want
to miss shit on your checklist
cazalla: the
trajectory of
the sun combined with
the police lights and lazer mounted drone caused me
to run down mr gavin by accident
mircea_popescu: anyway, all
this beating around
the bush. here's
to making
the penis a dangerous weapon.
mircea_popescu: "omaigawd stuffwas illuminated, i
totally lost my
trtain of
thought. o look, unicorns!!1"
cazalla: damn,
that is not a half bad idea
mircea_popescu: what next,
this is a legitimate car crash reason ? "police lights illuminated my cockpit your honor. let
the police dept pay."
davout: my cessna has
these flaps you speak of :D
mircea_popescu: it will iluminate
the cockpit less
than what fucking police lights do.
davout: it will illuminate
the cockpit, blind you, will
take your mind off of your checklist
davout: and it's not like you'll get lasered at high altitudes with
the PA on and your cock in some flight attendant's mouth, you'll get lasered when approaching
chetty: humans, more and more clever ways
to commit mayhem on each other.
mircea_popescu: they're sort-of like
turkeys, which have caused problems in
the past, so planes have been shielded against
them, so it no longer matters.
cazalla: mircea_popescu,
the pollie
that said
that got busted for gay sex like a year later, clearly didn't want
to play ball anymore (or did)
mircea_popescu: "These gutless and cowardly attacks have
to be stopped," he said. "I am preparing a proposal
to cabinet
to consider making
these items a prohibited weapon."
cazalla: everyone had
these fucking
things circa 2008, all from dx.com
davout: it's like everyone in
the sky gets pissed at you, while
the laserer conveniently gives a massive arrow pointing
to his sorry ass
cazalla: davout, yeah..
they coined it "lazer attacks"
cazalla: people were lulz lazering athletes at games
too
cazalla: too many people were all "lulz, i lazered
the pilot" here in australia so anything over 1mw.. banned
mircea_popescu: only job
to score consistently under
tradecraft for security.
