assbot: Methylphenidate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1veP6nj )
BingoBoingo: As to why ritalin is not an amphetamine, simply compare its picture to the ones asciilifeform posted https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methylphenidate#mediaviewer/File:Methylphenidate-2D-skeletal.svg

BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> i'll let BingoBoingo explain how one has faster blood-brain penetration than other, lipid solubility, etc. << Methyl group makes it have a greater affinity for particular subsets of norepinephrine and dopamine receptors. For some reason the methyl group makes it more toxic to neurons in the long run
BingoBoingo: <thestringpuller> no adderall is pretty much meth << SOrry thought you said Ritalin. Adderal is a racemic mixture of Levo and Dex amphetamines. The levo reduces the "abuse potential"
lobbes: Took me all weekend, but I am now in control of my own IRC bouncer. Now to configure it properly...
mircea_popescu: you know, somebody should do this as a service. comic strip summarizer. watch them all, pick the i dunno, 1% worth a chuchle.
mircea_popescu: buenos aires deliveries generally take 10 minutes tho.
mircea_popescu: Naphex timisoara deliveries are... ONE HOUR. i lulzed my ass off at them.
Naphex: bitcoinquestions: so where do you get the money from?
bitcoinquestions: yeah that's the point

mircea_popescu: this is riotously funny. so how does b-a look to the mit cs/econ (?!) undegrad doing a pizzforpusha startup ?
bitcoinquestions: i will be very happy if we get to the point where amazon cares about suing us
thestringpuller: if you get too big
thestringpuller: amazon is going to sue you
asciilifeform: what of the startup? what's it do
asciilifeform: bitcoinquestions: what were you studying prior to dropping out ?
bitcoinquestions: asciilifeform: sure, I'm an MIT dropout (or well taking time off at least) doing my own startup and collecting bitcoins along the way instead of paying tuition. I heard about b-a in an article in the nakamotoinstitute
assbot: New All Time High In Bitcoin Mining Difficulty | Qntra.net ... ( http://bit.ly/1veLRwr )
asciilifeform: bitcoinquestions: would it trouble you to take a moment to introduce yourself and state how and why you came to #b-a?
bitcoinquestions: but I'm guessing your article just dives deeper into the same thing I just said right?
bitcoinquestions: can't load any of those pages
thestringpuller: i reference the attack in my article bitcoinquestions
thestringpuller: yes. this is explained by MP
bitcoinquestions: If the blockchain were to fork into 2 chains. 1 chain where the blocksize limit was the Gavin scam and 1 chain where it was kept at 1MB, can't everyone just profit by selling their coins on the scam chain and rebuying back the coins on the old chain?
thestringpuller: They don't matter in that context. Ever.
thestringpuller: why would you ever spend time trying to get money from poor people?
thestringpuller: Given we know 1% own 99% of the wealth
mircea_popescu: "and then you must donate the profits!"
thestringpuller: "OMG You shouldn't try to sell one thing for a billion bucks. YOu should sell a billion things for a dollar each! it's so much more valuable"
thestringpuller: ^- d00d why is this argument used so much in "Business school"
mircea_popescu: i definiely need their vote to be happy, and if being rich were allowed (it isn't) then DEFINITELY the only way to get rich is to sell fifty billion fucktards stuff for a quarter each.
mircea_popescu: ppl actually believe this.
mircea_popescu: it's funny tho, reddit doesn't JUST think bitcoin is democracy. everything is democracy. according to redditard lore, i need their vote to get laid.
thestringpuller: "Remember student council, and individuals running for student office. It was a popularity contest right? Well did those elected have any real power other than in name?"
thestringpuller: d00d the pseudo argument of "Bitcoin is a democracy" is starting to irritate me
assbot: Logged on 25-08-2014 03:08:03; asciilifeform: busy as a bee << funny that they show an idiot sow scrubbing, and not, e.g, paul erdos crapping out theorems
asciilifeform: related thread: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=25-08-2014#808005 ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the idea isn't to zap anyone.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if lizardhitler picked the currently usg-'blessed' varieties of dope to zap folks prior to reproductive age, he needs to fire his chemist
taub: now if you got an addictive personality, its a different thing
cazalla: thestringpuller, reminds me.. you seen that video of the black kid in the arcade who actually looks like he is on drugs? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ee8-wRHCCg4
asciilifeform: i.e. the 'before and after' faces found in various usg propaganda depict people who not only took $dopeoftheday but were perpetually pickled, smoked everything and anything that burns, contracted every known vd, etc.
taub: when you take your adderall like prescribed by the doctor, i think its a pretty safe drug tho
mircea_popescu: what else ? shoot them ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform in fairness : the only practical way to reduce the 7-8 bn to the more sane lower tens of millions is this.
asciilifeform: it is interesting that open literature contains substantially less useful info on what a particular variety of dope 'does' than it might seem, because of what used to be called 'comorbidities'
thestringpuller: The whole bart simpson era of "troublemakers" which I really don't understand since most of them do coke to work their 80 hour a week jobs.
taub: well it's 'just' amphetamine, but very similar to meth
thestringpuller: Did the feds think, "You know who is doing drugs these days, kids in the arcades with no parental supervision."
thestringpuller: cazalla: I thought about that a lot throughout college.
asciilifeform: i'll let BingoBoingo explain how one has faster blood-brain penetration than other, lipid solubility, etc.

mircea_popescu: !gettrust assbot taub
mircea_popescu: !up taub
TheNewDeal: Its the dumbed down version
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it';s the parents, the meds, the other kids in this order, my guess.
asciilifeform still thinks it's reddit, not the dope, that gives us the 'nobody born after '90 is worth talking to' situation.
asciilifeform: at this point, ancient tradition.
cjc: it seems the pusher is the school teacher for "behavioral meds" or the doctor
cjc: eh, oddly enough -- once my friends from high school started having kids and telling me how the doctors wanted to pump them up with pills as soon as they were school age..
cazalla: i'm 10, playing TMNT.. why is DOJ telling me about drugs?
cazalla: always found it bizarre "winners don't use drugs" would appear in the arcade games i played here, didn't even know what drugs were at the time
mircea_popescu: speaking of which, there's a bitcoin kink group. 90 guys of which 50% over 50, 10 gals, of which half from thailand.
mircea_popescu: for teh most part.
cjc: When you describe the black sponge cake from scratch... it sounds like you have happy and well kept slaves.
cjc: It would be nice to have been eating desert instead right now.
cjc: No reason for asking other than salutations.
asciilifeform by sheer coincidence also ate too much chocolate cake
mircea_popescu: i ate too much chocolate cake.
cjc: Thanks mircea_popescu, How are you today?
asciilifeform: think this way, the moving charge in the superconductor is analogous to the motions of other bodies which do no 'work' in the thermodynamic sense
mircea_popescu: don';t bust the dream. mebbe 2nd law is repealed :D
mircea_popescu: forget lasers, those things'd make some pretty kickass engines.
mircea_popescu: if only there was semiconductor
asciilifeform considered miniaturized cryostats for consumer market at one point, for weirdos like this
cazalla: i'd just as soon throw it in the bin but.. missus demands to keep it for some reason despite the fact it will eventually go into the bin yet take up freezer room for fucking years to come
mircea_popescu: sawed it right off. then this guy was about to kill the driver while waitig for ambulance
mircea_popescu: then when the kid was like 12, some dude drove into the tree
mircea_popescu: knew a guy that actually buried it with a tree he planted.
cazalla: funny you mention that, a slice and the topper of son's first birthday cake is in the freezer.. will remain there for god knows how long
cazalla: while i sit here and eat the carrot cake i made last night and enjoy a cuppa, you know what would be really good? a cake tin that bakes slices of cake so that every slice is an end bit
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: SOP in chinese crap. but traditionally there is a blob of black epoxy over them. in this case - starvation-cheap, omitted the epoxy.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: I'm just wondering why they included the bare silicon die sitting atop solder balls. I know their goal is "cheap" but it seems like they crossed over into "cheap"
danielpbarron: "GIT - the stupid content tracker, the revision control system heavily used by the Linux kernel team" << description of git package in gentoo, lol
mircea_popescu: it's all here to avoid this situation.
mircea_popescu: you know, the entire point of the "hypocrisy" of civilisation, and the accumulated pile of ridiculous, wrong and stupid
thestringpuller: asciilifeform: first tehy scream and panic and eventually just take it
mircea_popescu: just, it pulsates around a different pole these days is all.
mircea_popescu: well yes. an anal ring is, the usual cellular chemistry, and biodynamics.
asciilifeform: all i can see (with admittedly untrained eye) is the usual daily anthill
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform well, frantic activity is not just a cover-up for impotence. it is also the first step towards acceptance.
thestringpuller: LOL. "But Gavin told us it does run on "normal" internet"
thestringpuller: The idea is not to prevent bitcoin but to empower it."
thestringpuller: "No, Gavin said this can still run on a normal internet connection. Other alt-coin have "master node" and all that crap. Nobody force anyone to be a full node, and nobody that is currently running a full node is complaining.
asciilifeform: where is the sign that they are coming to terms with any of it ?
mircea_popescu: the only serious promise bitcoin makes is, there's more of that to come.
mircea_popescu: there's little funnier than watching the socialist/libertard lot coming to terms with the notiopn that their collective anal rings are gripping on my cock whenever i feel like.
