mircea_popescu: i am pretty convinced the way milk became a part of the diet is because of animal husbandry.
decimation: http://westhunt.wordpress.com/2014/10/27/centum-and-satem-2/ << "It all started pretty far to the East. There, some crazy locals first tamed the horse. I’m thinking that they were something like the Botai culture, riding and hunting horses, but not farmers. They may well have milked those horses – by the way, horse milk is much richer in lactose than human or cow milk."
ben_vulpes: stop drinking milk long enough and it will hurt the next time
ben_vulpes: upregulation and downregulation is a thing
mircea_popescu: the genome doesn't change over the lifetime of the individual
PeterL: yeah, but the body stops making it
mircea_popescu: but the enzyme, it gotta be there.
mircea_popescu: PeterL how does that make sense ? if you have it as a kid then it's there
PeterL: some populations get it more than others
PeterL: milk digestion as an adult was one of the most recent enzymes added to the human genome
mircea_popescu: hair pulling and surprise insertions all the way ?
mircea_popescu: decimation well it's not manly enough, sucking on titties.
PeterL: then she decided she couldn't stand to see another sweet potato and we started adding lots of stuff back in
mircea_popescu: im not even that fat.
mircea_popescu is a firm champion of "eat whatever thoust will until you burst" diet, going on 40 years now
mircea_popescu: or more like "whatever, we just won't eat too many sugar frosted dumplings" version
mircea_popescu: did you do the actual no beans no milk no nothing version ?
PeterL: my wife managed to make some interesting dishes trying to keep things interesting
mircea_popescu: as a craft i mean. obviously hard to fight a proper steak
mircea_popescu: come to think about it... i would think deviled eggs is the pinnacle of paleo culinary achievement huh
mircea_popescu: yeah well, i'm not giving up on my culture for the sake of you know... preserving some bizarre prehistorical concerns
PeterL: I tried it, like the way I felt physically, but was too bored with eating the same things over and over
PeterL: yes, there are many dishes which just don't happen on paleo
mircea_popescu: exactly the sam, but using a whole pork tenderloin.
PeterL: simmilar to beef wellington?
mircea_popescu: you need crust to hold all that liver and mushroom
mircea_popescu: and incidentally, that's another thing this town shines in. they got sushi.
fluffypony: stuff from a takeaway joint on the corner is reserved for sushimergencies
fluffypony: yeah you need to try quality sushi
PeterL: I've had sushi, didn;t like it much, probably not high quality though
mircea_popescu: eh fluffypony beats m to it!
mircea_popescu: PeterL well it'd be sashimi then
PeterL: there are other ways to prepare fish
PeterL: http://btcscoop.com/cgi-bin/blogroll.py thoughts?
ben_vulpes: shit hangs together like camo netting
mircea_popescu: am i to starve in france ?
mircea_popescu: don't tell me the thing's intended for kansasites who are barbaric enough to never heard of and so never miss sushi
mike_c: omg, that one does. it scrolls down then sideways then down
mircea_popescu: so the paleo fad diet experts among us : what the fuck do you do about sushi ?
mircea_popescu: im waiting for the one that scrolls crazy shitstick on all sides

dignork: mike_c: this one is more annoying: https://cryptocapital.co/
mike_c: but this one is purty
mircea_popescu: i mean, they all depend on being the only one as a business model, by now the only firm guarantee that can be made is that nobody will EVER make a dime in that market
mircea_popescu: is anyone even keepiung count of all these braindamaged "services" the bezzle keeps pumping out ?
assbot: Unicode chessboard in a terminal | DaniWeb
nubbins`: altho given the results of the tourney, maybe i should abstain
Apocalyptic: then no argument there indeed
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic no argument there, but i just don't happen to give a shit about chess, what can i tell you
decimation: ascii with the unicode
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, easier to learn than to ask your opponent to adapt, especially if he plays quite a lot
mircea_popescu: you'll have to play with someone who actulaly knows how.
mircea_popescu: RetroUpriser sorry man, i'll have to take a bow here. my table is too fubar for a 3rd debug attempt
mircea_popescu: Apocalyptic because... i don't know it ? so ended up making some shit up on the spot ?
Apocalyptic: why not using the standard algebraic notation ?
mircea_popescu: wasn';t x the king /
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah well, if the WEB DIDNT SUCK
asciilifeform: most folks use boards with tele-chess
RetroUpriser: im looking at a board and putting the moves in
mircea_popescu: dude this is nuts, ascii chess
mircea_popescu: aw shgit i had the pawn moved not the bishiop. my bad.
decimation: yeah those are tough specs
asciilifeform: decimation: and, potentially, received by another operator equipped with nothing more than consumer radio set.
decimation: radio teletype was mechanical too
decimation: asciilifeform: seems to me it would be easier just to send a pcm signal like bpsk or something, but I guess this was before that kind of stuff was well known
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Game seems to be a thing, just the non-standard letters are messing with my ingrained encoding
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo is this even anything btw ?
asciilifeform: decimation: re: morse tape: http://cryptomuseum.com/burst/index.htm
BingoBoingo: RetroUpriser: How does king move two spaces?
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It is for the manufacterer and the purchasing agency negotiating on the specs. Maybe Police wants to spring for better than liberator, but forward cam... too much
decimation: re: semi quad-copter << I don't get how that's more effective than a semi-truck full of small guided ballistic missiles
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: probably the cost of making of forward cam vs. retard resistant gas can escape two places design
thestringpuller: Just play with the text board with pasties
RetroUpriser: hold on finding an online board to use
BingoBoingo: r is the queen, x is the king, white is on top (king's starts on e, queen on d)
mircea_popescu: so now, is X the queen or the king in that arrangement ? or is white caps or no caps ?
BingoBoingo: That, but then again non-nagant revolver so there was an exit point for the pressure between the chamber and barrel

mircea_popescu: RetroUpriser ima do algebraic notation in about 5 minutes lemme type out some letters
RetroUpriser: this is true, we could play through text
xanthyos: you don't need to physically see the same board
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> 'Minutes later, Trooper Vanderwiel arrived with the dog, which alerted on the back area of the car. That gave Simmons and Vanderwiel probable cause to search the vehicle without a warrant or the driver’s consent.' << lol re: the obvious implication, the beasts are trained to 'signal' on command rather than search << Pretty much an open secret by now
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: dig out that 'ipad'
asciilifeform: (if the latter are not yet standard - they are being grown.)
mircea_popescu: bah all these people and their javascript already
decimation: yeah my understanding is that the results of the 'search dogs' are always an objective basis upon which one can search
RetroUpriser: How would you like to play?
asciilifeform: 'Minutes later, Trooper Vanderwiel arrived with the dog, which alerted on the back area of the car. That gave Simmons and Vanderwiel probable cause to search the vehicle without a warrant or the driver’s consent.' << lol re: the obvious implication, the beasts are trained to 'signal' on command rather than search
RetroUpriser: And i was thinking of using chess.com
decimation: asciilifeform: "fiat 'was down'" << sometimes this happens because a geomagnetic storm knocks down a satellite - for example most gas stations in the us clear credit cards through satellite
mircea_popescu: what do you want, heads or tails ?
mircea_popescu: heck, why the hell not.
mircea_popescu: why thank you.
RetroUpriser: Well the offer stands should you change your mind
mircea_popescu: ugh, ive not played chess in like a decade or two

BingoBoingo: A doomed by the bong case heats up http://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/highway-seizure-in-iowa-fuels-debate-about-asset-forfeiture-laws/2014/11/10/10f725fc-5ec3-11e4-8b9e-2ccdac31a031_story.html
RetroUpriser: Care to play a game of chess, mircea_popescu?
mircea_popescu: And she had to apologize at once for her voice, which was a very unfair voice for a woman to use. Her voice was a warm, luminous, timeless melody. "Excuse me-" she said, and she began again, making her voice absolutely uncompetitive.
undata: what were we talking about?
