asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: it's a fatal eggog.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-13#1770220 << if they asked for your ameripassport -- alarm bell ☝︎

asciilifeform: aha. they hired them straight from school, for substantially abovemarket rate, and then hamstrung'em

asciilifeform: formerly they preyed on the young folx

asciilifeform: and it ain't exactly seekrit

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: there's a massively effective tard-selector on the intake end -- the part where ~100% of the 'high' pay of west usa slave goes to pay for roach flat shared with 3 other d00dz

asciilifeform: verily.

asciilifeform: and in contravention of university of maryland code of lol!

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: which is why the biowarheads went out of style. ( and not from pantsuitism/activism 'inhumanity' wankage , as commonly thought )

asciilifeform: what actually happens is (mega-seekrit!) : virulence loss.

asciilifeform: ( which , if it had worked, would make for some quite epic 'own goals' )

asciilifeform: well the weaponization programmes all featured resistance-selection

asciilifeform: sufficiently nasty item that it was considered ( and possibly taken up ) for warhead

asciilifeform: interesting

asciilifeform: ( still a puzzle to me what the natural reservoir of brucellosis is )

asciilifeform: i thought cow had brucellosis

asciilifeform: 'in every pot we'll have a chicken, but, herbert hoover, you forgot: not only don't we have a chicken, we ain't got the pot!' (tm)(r)

asciilifeform: 'chicken for every pot'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: at one point this was actual usg propaganda slogan ( during greatdepression )

asciilifeform: and of china, and nao that i think about it everybody worth half a shit

asciilifeform: *key ingredients

asciilifeform: quite possibly the bird was 1 of the ingredients of euro civ , vs the monkeys

asciilifeform: very muchly clock.

asciilifeform: i missed out on this

asciilifeform: not bad deal

asciilifeform: worm-to-food converter, eh

asciilifeform: just half hour's march from center of town -- and they begin to appear

asciilifeform: re mircea_popescu's experimental chicken farm : asciilifeform was amazed at the popularity of the backyard chicken in timis

asciilifeform: historically distance makes considerably better walls, than walls.

asciilifeform: p

asciilifeform: distances , in place like ru, are chea

asciilifeform: such civ1

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-16#1699002 << found ☝︎

asciilifeform: hm possibly it was a trilema

asciilifeform: iirc it is in the log

asciilifeform: it was tho

asciilifeform: place to hang carpet!11

asciilifeform: it's prolly not too late for BingoBoingo to unstep on the mine if he had in fact stepped.

asciilifeform: i'ma let BingoBoingo answer this one, i have only minimal clue re what he did.

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-01-12#1770015 << somewhat worrisome, BingoBoingo ~might~ have stepped on the 'who is principal man of this corp? oh hey, it's a usg slave, nao we, quisling orcs, gotta report him' mine ☝︎

asciilifeform: almost surprising it hasn't been 'disneyated'

asciilifeform: and in particular 'In light of recent hate bias incidents on the campus, the committee decided to remove "Intentionally and substantially interfering with the freedom of expression of others" as a listed prohibited conduct as it sends the "wrong message," said Director of Student Conduct Andrea Goodwin.' ☟︎

asciilifeform: meanwhile, in one particular pantsuitistan, https://archive.is/IFLD7 << for expert entomologists only >> 'University of Maryland ... The senate proposed that the committee lower the burden of proof in cases from clear and convincing to a preponderance of the evidence, which means that it's more likely than not a code violation occurred. '

asciilifeform: ( imho it is theRightThing , i even made sure it worked in pehbot before letting it run in public )

asciilifeform: aite

asciilifeform: trinque: where did the putting-the-user's-nick-in-all-replies item go ?

asciilifeform: Covale`: i read , and laughed, and thought 'the onion', but apparently they have a working funnel, and it actually collected a bit of shitcoin

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: normally -ище is... sort ~opposite~ of dimunitive. but in this case is the haft.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: that'd be a топорище .

asciilifeform: apparently not so 'trilema fan' that he can keep a socket open, lol

asciilifeform: топор.

asciilifeform: oh hey finally a nonfalse cognate !

asciilifeform: topor: who might you be ?

asciilifeform: !!up topor

asciilifeform: that'd be the elementary 'petri dish full' endgame then.

asciilifeform: i.e. a resurrection of the item that killed rome.

asciilifeform: that's the q, are we looking at what amounts to a sov rtg misplaced in the arctic and sawed open by chukcha.

asciilifeform: nah that'd be young rome

asciilifeform: late roman.

asciilifeform: other q, how far is this from the roman system

asciilifeform: hm did we ever do 'tin pest' thread ?

asciilifeform: that wouldn't explain why it spread suddenly, like forest fire, at a particular moment

asciilifeform: superlinear!11

asciilifeform: but post-worms 'resources' taxation scheme -- infectious

asciilifeform: no real diff, aside possibly from the 'linear vs superlinear' hypothesis

asciilifeform: the worrisome aspect imho is that sanity is -- apparently -- fragile, while idiocy -- ratcheting/cumulative ☟︎

asciilifeform: aha

asciilifeform: was it a cause-'because' or an astrological-justificatory-'because'

asciilifeform: and bush-II went on crusade because 'wmd', lel

asciilifeform: sounds familiar

asciilifeform: seems like a straight archaeological matter.

asciilifeform: ... or here's a q. 'worms' had a beginning, neh, at some time prior. where was this beginning, who first demanded 'reasonable taxations' , where ☟︎

asciilifeform: naah the correct answ is prolly 'do yer bloody homewurk , asciilifeform '

asciilifeform prolly doomed to excavate and read the sourcetexts, like civilized people ☟︎

asciilifeform: which was a bit sanskrity

asciilifeform: this is interesting and makes sense and imho would make a spiffy trilema article ( sequel to the one from last hr, with the italian film , perhaps )

asciilifeform: or do i misunderstand what is supposed to have begun with the 'concordat'

asciilifeform: they've prolly existed longer than scribes, or even archers , or horseman.

asciilifeform: dunno that this is a necessary hypothesis : the shaman who demanded share of mammoth meat for 'getting crocodilegod to barf the sun back out' is item that goes back to prehistory

asciilifeform just nao read

asciilifeform: chopper could, theoretically, do 'pinpoint' needlework , that fixwing could not, e.g. limpet onto ~particular~ car

asciilifeform: depending on what the objective is, that kg can do useful work ( say you're to torch something... )

asciilifeform: for coupla hrs of flight.

asciilifeform: nope. a few 100ml.

asciilifeform: ( it doesn't, for obvious reason, scale up )

asciilifeform: to be fair , these do require nitrofuel

asciilifeform: which is why small petrol engine enabled flight to begin with.

asciilifeform: entirely.

asciilifeform: ( somewhere i have a 1960s catalogue , featuring similar engines; weighed a little moar iirc )

asciilifeform: it's ancient tech, too

asciilifeform: picked at random, prolly there are spiffier ones

asciilifeform: https://www.amazon.com/Hobbypower-02060-Engine-2-74cc-Starter/dp/B00M2WMQFG

asciilifeform: dat's 746 watt.

asciilifeform opens catalogue... a 2.74cc 1.0 hp motor , weighs 280g, costs 70bux.

asciilifeform: petrol is superior to battery by such ridiculous margin, that it is readily affordable

asciilifeform: and you dun even need gearing for it: turn dynamo.

asciilifeform: naaah, off-the-shelf readily available from cn

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: aaaha, see later in same thread !
