thestringpuller: I'm watchin Hulu, and
the commercial playing during
this show is a Bank of America partnering with Khan Academy ad, about budgeting money. And it's like "Really?"
mats: but i got
to fast rope off a UH-60 so
that was cool i guess
mats: almost broke my back
too, shit and pissed blood at one point
mats: you gotta finish
the 12mi in under 3 hours
mats: too much running with gear on, apparently
thats not good for your joints
decimation: " In combat
this very often results in nonessential activities such as digestion, bladder control, and sphincter control being completely shut down.
This process is so intense
that soldiers very often suffer stress diarrhea, and it is not at all uncommon for
them
to urinate and defecate in
their pants as
the body literally “blows its ballast” in an attempt
to provide all
the energy resources required
to ensure its survival."
mats: he says it a buncha
times and i'm confused bc how am i going
to clean up before we get back
to
the barracks?
mats: the nco running
the
thing gets in front, starts
talking, etc, and stops in front of me and starts bitching at me about putting my shit away
mats: i... lol bc wtf are you going
to do?
mats: eventually
the dude behind me realizes it was me and calls me out
mats: afterwards, we're in formation and all
the dudes in
the group have made it, and people are making fart jokes as usual
mats: i do ma bestest, pull up my big boy pants and basically sprint
the rest of
the way
there
mats: i
try
to clean up with pine needles and brush and shit but it doesn't really work, and i didn't pack baby wipes
mats: and i drop my
trousers and assplode everywhere. i get it on my gear, no way around it
mats: i'm about
to ascend a hill, still got a good lead, so i decide
to roll down
the side of a berm
mats: and for about 30 mins i've been wanting
to shit my fucking brains out, because pasta
mats: i'm way ahead of most of
the group by mile 8
mats: i'm in godly shape cause i've been working hard
to
try and qualify for
this badass school
mats: when i was in pre-air assault
training i did a 12mi ruck
to
train up for
the big one
decimation: it's not as dumb as it sounds. one can buy a 'keyer'
that will automatically make series of dots, dashes and combinations of dot/dashes
decimation: yeah
the logical option would be
to make up words
to stand for syntax stuff
undata: decimation:
the guy above came up with his own weird language for voice-coding
mats: for basic
things. i never really got it
to work with code.
decimation: yeah I
think coding with speech recognition would suck
mats: it
took six weeks
to get
the software somewhere usable
mats: ... smashed em
to bits in fits of rage
thestringpuller: i've always wanted
to write a sketch about
two computer gangs who are as ruthless as bloods and crips. but
they are
the vim's and emacs'
mats: at
the end of 2 months i had gone
through a stack of keyboards i bought at a flea market
mats: i shouldn't have
tried coding in python
undata: thestringpuller: I find
the best vim
to be emacs :D
mats: i wasted 2 months
talking at a computer (dragon)
trying
to make it do useful
things
decimation: I found mapping ctrl
to caps lock helps alot for emacs pinkie
decimation: mats: it's probably cheaper and safer for him
to knock you out and perform a placebo surgery on you
undata: mats: I went on a recent keybinding rally mapping
things
to space as leader plus keys around
the index and middle fingers
mats: i
talked
to a surgeon a few years ago (ive had CTS since 18) and i was
told
that 50% of people operated on don't experience any change, and of
the remaining half
that get positive results, half of
them see only a mild reduction in pain and a good number (i can't remember) experience a recurrence in symptoms in
their lifetime
BingoBoingo: It's not
the
terrifying scenarios
that worry, but
the mundane ones.
thestringpuller: mats:
that's
the most depressing story I've heard
today :(
decimation: right now one must drill a hole in
the skull and dress
the would each week
to prevent infection
that could eat your brain
undata: oh it brings up all kinds of
terrifing scenarios
BingoBoingo: Quietly reading
things it shouldn't be reading while leaving me unaware
BingoBoingo: fuck
that. We don't have computers I'd
trust for an important half of
that.
undata: BingoBoingo: hopefully we have some BCI
thing by
then
undata: reminds me of my stepdad; he once nailgunned 3 fingers
together,
then calmly drove himself
to
the hospital and when asked what his "complaint" was, presented
the hand with a grin
BingoBoingo could imagine in
the not
too distant future people doomed
to careers of data entry having surgery
to radiacally rearrange
the anatomy of
their arms below
the elbow.
mats: didn't ask, was
too busy laughing
undata: mats: was
there some more specific strategy with
the brick
than "fuck
this wrist..." ?
mats: its pretty hopeless as far as carpal
tunnel goes
mats: not
the brightest guy but shit he was a boss
mats: it didn't work. kek. but,
this didn't hurt
that much either...
mats: after drinking heavily one night he decided
to fix
the problem with a brick and smashed his wrist
mats: same guy
told me he developed carpal
tunnel after getting into computers and using some weird one handed keyboard with odd mappings
mats: he decided
to give up
the fingers.
told me it didn't hurt
that much.
mats: he had a few seconds
to make a decision
to risk breaking his arm and dying on
the way down or lose a few fingers
mats: shortly after becoming an NCO he was involved in a bad jump where his hand got caught in
the static line
mats: carpal
tunnel blows
decimation: there would be nothing
that would please me more
than if I saw some bum with a yahoo ad
undata: ...can't
tell if serious
mats: now
there's an idea
decimation: some bum who camps next
to
the George Washington bridge also has 300,000 'views' per day -
that doesn't
transform him into a 'profitable business'
☟︎ decimation: it's amusing because apparently
they get '70 million views' per month, and yet
they are unable
to be profitable... because if
they started
to monetize with ads,
they are afraid
that
their '70 million views' would dry up
decimation: mats: and what would have if you owned every reddit note? would you have a seat on
the board? would you be able
to show up at
the 'advance publications' headquarters and demand free drinks?
mats: who wants
to own 10% of a company
that loses money?
decimation: BingoBoingo:
this 'reddit note'
thing is hilarious. who wants
to own 10% of a company
that makes no money?
decimation: well
to whatever degree
they 'owned' it before, it seems likely
that is 'more owned' now
BingoBoingo: decimation: Or
they decided successfully owning
the
thing most of
the
time wasn't enough.
decimation: BingoBoingo: coupled with
the vague announcement yesterday, it seems someone in usg has decided
to pull
the plug on
tor; possibly related
to
this sony attack
assbot: I now have access
to Satoshi Nakamotos email address used in
the Bitcoin Whitepaper (Satoshin@gmx.com). : Bitcoin ... (
http://bit.ly/1sYBQYJ )
decimation: ah, all
the crazy lefties who own reddit are fighting
the system by enriching some new york jew
decimation: isn't conde nast media publically

to retire

jurov: or it's
the
tax? october reports say nothing about it
kakobrekla: we have more
than 50% of
the shares but never exactly
the same amount due
to how
the ipo was structured
jurov: 152.87354128 << mpex.co says

jurov: kakobrekla: what you gave me is november report
that concerns december dividend
