mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> -- from
today's fan mail << what was
that for lol
jurov: that yes, but can be subject
to agreement.
jurov: asciilifeform i was
thinking you want
to move phuctor sooner but ok :)
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: 'clojure' << lol how'd you get
that level of hatred up?
jurov: asciilifeform: so either
that i7-3770 or Xeon E3-1245V2 with ECC RAM for 7 euros more
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm guessing
that fan didn't see your extant writings on
the
topic? Or perhaps wasn't a spamateur and had?
jurov: these other offers have considerable slower cpu
than can be auctioned in hetzner at same price
kakobrekla: anyway, i gave you
the links, your call entirely
kakobrekla: ah i
thought we were
talking bitcoind sync
test or some such
jurov: even cheaper
than
their auction?
kakobrekla: if you are converting
there are cheaper options
than hetzner
jurov: kakobrekla: no I
take it
jurov: i need
to know what is
the priority, CPU or RAM or SSD is a must?
BingoBoingo: Of course it is
too. Just hard
to pay contractor for parts
that don't deplete frequently enough.
BingoBoingo: Maybe Garand might have had something
to do with
the mouth shitting
trend
though.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Not
the M-16 Based on "AR-10" M1 Garand inspired M-14 (still in limited recycled use)
BingoBoingo: Eugene Stoner was probably a stoner, if not occasional enthusiast of more interesting chemicals back
then
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Well, guy who came up with USG's currrent rifle prototype did so during
time when USia discovered
the wonders of hallucinogenics
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform>
that or 'caseless' strange (never, afaik, really perfected, despite ocean of money) << Olin Brass can has lobbyist
too
mircea_popescu: "you don't refine your query, numbnuts. you BECOME
the genie."
mircea_popescu: all
these kids hoping
that some sort of magical "tech" is going
to get
them into
the girl's panties were very poorly parented. apparently nobody
told
them any of
the numerous genie stories.
mircea_popescu: the "3d printed" guns were obviously going
to push
towards regulation of bullets.
assbot: Logged on 17-02-2015 18:26:21; asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: destroying
the "industrial" paradigm << expand on
this. recall also
the
thread where we discussed how pashtun blacksmiths can make kalash, yes
they can, not not one of
them can make a single 7.62x39 round from brass scrap
BingoBoingo: "But M855 has well-documented shortcomings against soft
targets (see Somalia, Iraq, etc.)
The other common loading, M193, is more effective against soft
targets. So
the side effect of
this ruling would be
that more AR-15 owners would buy rounds
that are more effective in
the
typical domestic shooting.
The only people
this rule change protects is
the government, whose varmints wear Kevlar."
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu: can't find
the article which
talks about kids in US being analagous
to growing corn
assbot: Obama
to ban bullets by executive action,
threatens
top-selling AR-15 rifle | WashingtonExaminer.com ... (
http://bit.ly/1DWQXEg )
chetty: As promised, President Obama is using executive actions
to impose gun control on
the nation,
targeting
the
top-selling rifle in
the country,
the AR-15 style semi-automatic, with a ban on one of
the most-used AR bullets by sportsmen and
target shooters.
mircea_popescu: if
the chem lobby seriously wants
to strangle
the pretty farm girl,
that's one
thing. but framing
that discussion in
terms of "rich" is about as helpful as proposing beer is better
than wine because it bubbles.
mircea_popescu: james smith's farm fed five hundred people in 1615.
these aren't "500 out of
the
total pop of 5mn" for
the same reason discussed in
the
thread about "average life expectancy"
BingoBoingo: Or
they've surrendered in some cases
to being a form of sharecropper. Depends on what and where
they farm as well as how daddy ran
the business
mircea_popescu: here's
the
thing : just because inflation has made every pauper
think he holds money doesn't change
the fact
that a farmer
today is worth a hundred million just by simply maintaining equality with a farmer of relatively
the same social importance back in 1615.
mircea_popescu: "rich" does not mean what
the poor imagine it means.
the notion of running a farm on 26k subsidies a year... heh.
mircea_popescu: that cap agricultural benefits
thing is uniquely misguided.
thestringpuller: if I was plaiyng
the "take a shot when buzzword is used" drinking game

pete_dushenski: dilbert's been on a roll with
this pointy-haired investment advice series
mike_c: "you should buy a stock whenver
the chart looks like a squirrel sitting on a clown's shoulder"
mike_c: omg

TA when i need him
mike_c: I was wondering how
that ended up.
mike_c: pete_dushenski: kudos for posting

pete_dushenski: random lady on
twitter: "Pete I had money
taken out of my bitcoin wallet (block chain) on 2014-09-16 Can you
tell me where
to go for help?"
