ben_vulpes: i dismiss
the upgrade notification each and ev-er-y day.
PeterL: I am still on 10.5, I don't know anything about
the new versions
ben_vulpes: .1 btc sez it's because i refuse
to upgrade
to 10.10
ben_vulpes: the amusing
thing is how
their "airdrop" shit doesn't work either.
ben_vulpes: PeterL: i'm pretty savvy with
the os x shit.
ben_vulpes: way
to break functionality
that's just worked.
ben_vulpes: i can see
the guy's laptop, can't even open
the "dropbox".
ben_vulpes: functionality
that's worked for what, a decade?
ben_vulpes: i just
tried
to share a folder from one mac
to another
thestringpuller: PeterL: it's more feudal IMO
than
those examples, but same gist of
things.
PeterL: and
there is not one king at
the
throne, it is more like a council, or
the greek forum
thestringpuller: lol. I can't wait
til a large crypto company is left
to a precocious 3yo.
thestringpuller: So I guess I visualize
the IRC channel as a bunch of people huddled in some large beautiful room. A new person enters and one of
the lords is like "you have permission
to speak, what have you?" Which reminds me of congregations of days of old.
PeterL: thestringpuller: expound on
the court idea?
thestringpuller: mircea_popescu:
this is how I feel when I listen
to your stories MP.
PeterL: alkyne has
triple bond
mircea_popescu: ok but generally
two hydrocarbons united by a double link at some point are called something no ?
PeterL: well,
there are plenty of compounds
that don't have perfect octets for all
the atoms
mircea_popescu: PeterL for some reason i had
thought N is
trivalent and somehow
this made n2o possible but no2 impossible
mircea_popescu: and it's worth doing it for your idiotic "national interests" of
trying
to hide useful bugs in
the morass"
mircea_popescu: "all is fine, don't worry,
throw LOCs by
the
thousand million, because it's like a
truck, it can hold anything
mircea_popescu: is
the next nut going
to end
the internet by killing 5k anon people
that were 99.x% of all
the people who understood how it works ?
mircea_popescu: ie, osama killed off
the us simply by flying a bomb disguised as a plane into
the us financial nerve center disguised asa building.
mircea_popescu: sometimes i wonder if
the internet itself shouldn't have a bus factor.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform unrelatedly, can you imagine
that fetlife rebelled, and banned my... acount. but not
the ip. i'm still in shock over
the fact.
PeterL: right, not funny for
them, funny for us watching
PeterL: don't worry, you have me
to correct you :)
mircea_popescu: a large part of
the problem is similar
to why you can't shoot fish worth a crap. skin, muscle, fatand bone have widely variant refractive indexes.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes except one pound of prime rib is a) one pound rather
than one hundred - and quantity has a quality all of its own - for instance it won't likely spit blood in your eyes ; b) already intensively prepared. for instance ? skin removed.
mircea_popescu: but anyway, humans aren't "bare flesh" in
the sense of, overgrown squid. it's really quite well designed a mechanical apparatus. not least designed
to... withstand swords.
mircea_popescu: etc etc. one who's never butchered - say game - doth not readily feel
the difficulty of
the problem)
mircea_popescu: (for instace : it's
trivial
to get a blade stuck. say in
the rib cage.
mircea_popescu: ;;google Dec. 6, 1989: Gamil Gharbi, 25, engineering student at
the University of Montreal, kills 13 women and wounds others (he released
the men.)
mircea_popescu: ;;google Frederick Davidson, 36, grad student in engineering at San Diego State, shoots
three professors at his dissertation defense.
thestringpuller: I was gonna visit you up in
the great NW when I was out in SF in March since its a
train ride away.
ben_vulpes: <mircea_popescu> so war on drugs
that are powders ? gases are ok ? << don't forget plants
mircea_popescu: kinda discretely fart while standing, right in
the face of seated ppl.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if i lived
there i'd prep my girls with a literful of it in
the rectum before going
to a student party in one opf
those cramped apts like
they do.
mircea_popescu: whoops... in which we find
tlp has 75% fewer comments
than
trilema over
twice
the period ?
this sucks.
mircea_popescu: i merely report.
to inform and entertain! im
thye fucking gray lady over here.
xuthus: yep right now with your
toy images
mike_c: i
take back everything i ever said about footnotes.
mike_c: oh, wow.
that's cool :)
ben_vulpes: lots of lulz and drama
to be had
there.
PeterL: the only work worth doing is
the kind
that pays out in bitcoin
mircea_popescu: if my work self wins
the bet,
then
that's not really
the real me winning
Adlai: after he's done betting enough
that he also wins
the billion dollar bet bet
PeterL: so mircea_popescu, when are you going
to start pushing up
the bitcoin price so you can win
the berkshire bet?
mircea_popescu: my dream is
that at some future point
two groups of people will beat each other up
to cries of "the asshole's a romanian gypsy!" "no he's an argentinian commie!"
mircea_popescu: how about "I am blocking you due
to your association with a argentinian ass bag named MirceaPopescu who has stolen
the personal information of many people on fet life and posted it
to a web site."
PeterL: has nothing
to do with solubilizing in
the cream
mircea_popescu: i guess
this drama's dried up, need
to move on
to something else
to keep
the btc price up.
☟︎ PeterL: so
to finalize where I was going, since n2o goes
through
the gas/liquid
transition you can squish much more into
the can at a reasonable pressure
than n2, and so you get fluffier cream when it comes out of
the can. n2 whipped cream would not be fluffy.
mircea_popescu: obviously current fem derps would very much like
to
think so, mostly because it involves people
they like
to promote.
mircea_popescu: i don't really
think "2nd wave" feminism was ever important enough
to engender noticeable reaction.
nubbins`: also MFW i realized
the "machismo" of north america in film,
tv, commercials, etc etc was a response
to second-wave feminism
nubbins`: what is
this, london in 1960? :D
