mircea_popescu: also : any interest in moving your associates registration to the already existing and well developed deedbot WoT infrastrcture ? payments via same system, in bitcoin ?
mircea_popescu: any interest in getting a rack or two in a similar squat somewhere in the colonies, algerie, morocco, whatever ?
mircea_popescu: basically it's a whole pile of "how could i reinterpret the world through my firmly held notions of biblical truth". this is nice and good, provided a large solid comedy goldmine for the whole 1800s, "darwinism debate" still ongoing in particularily protected corners of the swamp.
mircea_popescu: of course, the original pope trying for this ended up going around barefoot in the snow to beg forgiveness.
mircea_popescu: if all the "here's the usg-bitcoin, accept it in exchange" doesn't work as it hasn't with ripple/ethereum/bitcoin-core/crash/whatever, the only remaining avenue is the idly papal claim to "all the bitcoins".
mircea_popescu: but yes, one'd fully expect pretend-sovereigns of the fiat ilk to arbitrarily assign themselves title in bitcoin. why the hell not, they've assinged themselves "representativity" of "society" and "justice" and "the environment" and so forth.
mircea_popescu: but physically decrepit general, especially when no good disease excuse, is kinda like gouty priest. evidently -- not doing his job.
mircea_popescu: well... military men. it's like a profession. if your tax accountant sucks at go that doesn't necessarily disqualify him from his line of work.
mircea_popescu: it's inexplicable, to me at least, how virility is not part of the army qualifying list, btw. "this dude does not look hot naked and therefore can no longer be an army general. retired." seems perfectly mandatory for a fucking army.
mircea_popescu: "sack all o10 and over that no longer have a supermodel mistress"
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i suspect the logical conclusion would be to say old men revert into dysfunctional womanhood.
mircea_popescu: now, the generals are similar : for the benefit of "oh, it's directly readable" they lose out on the all-important, paramount consideration, "but not by the enemmy"
mircea_popescu: on fails to overshadow the fact that individually speaking if you're going to sink nine months of blood + three of fat into the project, you totally fucking want the very very best available.
mircea_popescu: to explain ourselves : the coy behaviour is defined as the spurious pretense of sexual disinterest put forth by a universally-interested machine ; and it is counterproductive because while it does in fact increase (somewhat) the success with above-average value partners, it entirely ruins any perpsective of success with the highest value partners. that this may (arguable, and i doubt it) sum to positive over a larege populati
mircea_popescu: i have nfi why or wherefore, it's about as counterintuitive as the coy behaviour in females.
mircea_popescu: somehow crypto discipline is impossible for military staffs. except for the okw, everyone has trouble with it, be the soviets talking to sub base or the ustards talking totheir "socialites" or w/e they call the tired old bags.
mircea_popescu: would matter a lot more if the us actually used crypto.
mircea_popescu: noyhing better than a door protected by 8 flawed locks.
mircea_popescu: they've no balls cuz they've no penis and vice versa, and ultimately because no testosterone so every bit of soy sauce they pick up from environment makes the titties sag a little hurtlier.
mircea_popescu: so the balls and the penis are related ? i thought so!
mircea_popescu: they had plenty of balls in 1990, if memory serves. even bombed belgrade.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform so let me get this straight : you think beta loves his cock cage because "no balls", and NOT because "small cock" ? these are somehow different ?
mircea_popescu will use this henceforth to distinguish the item from europe.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform they ARE looking for weaknesses. there's a reason usg lost south china sea.
mircea_popescu: incidentally, it occurs to me, euroZONE is the perfect word for it, isn't it ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the chinese have teh manpower to do it, if organized.
mircea_popescu: performance of the density kind is an anti-model for rocketry. on the contrary, large, wide edge process like the z80s much better fit for space usage.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: the rocketry chips are made in like vermont at considerable expense
mircea_popescu: ~only reason the saudis even bought the crap in the first place.
mircea_popescu: strangely there seem to be some extant records where he himself thinks the same!
mircea_popescu: communist consumer might have not been the end-all be-all, i find myself sometimes suspecting.
mircea_popescu: no dude, "having gone to school" tech as opposed to "i heard on youtube" tech
mircea_popescu: in retrospect seems a lot like not having a knife, "cutting bread on this veg peeler is so hard"
mircea_popescu: but it is possible to use a cone plane instead of a 1dimensional blade
mircea_popescu: he has a point, i hadn't thought of that. exactly like pepper mill, have two cones in each other, adjustable distance.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform actually "short" snake is flexible enough to go through toilet water trap deliberately for this reason.
mircea_popescu: of course, inexplicably it's all written in french, "pour usage domestique" etc.
mircea_popescu: not the kind that turn dishes green, i'd have imagined ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform drain does 100m drop over a mile, calculate the force a column of water puts upon it, obtain higher value than kitchen garbage disposal unit applies
mircea_popescu: the tub has no drain an' erryone looks pretty drained.
mircea_popescu: takes a lot of effort to reproduce today the kitchen of 1880 middle class polish housewife.
mircea_popescu: the sadness of "modern technology" is that it fails miserably at things that aren't THAT technologically advanced.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform didn't think of it. actually, had 0 expectation i'd end up with a dissolved-and-recombined surface of the inside of the thing, from smooth to matte.
mircea_popescu: pretty cool. and evidently making it right doesn't make it more expensive, 25 bux is what all cost.
mircea_popescu: so wait, i got really good clovges and ima put them into a "make-them-like-the-walmart-ones" tool ?
mircea_popescu: yes, but general solution for this (salt) not usable. and i don't eat enough sugar for that alternative + i don't eat the white hygroscopic kind
mircea_popescu: needs fine powder and too juicy to grind well in mortar so give it a shot.
