asciilifeform: self-propelled howitzer, says me dict.

asciilifeform: generally speaking. but specific item

asciilifeform: ( in ru -- самоходка )

asciilifeform: what do you call these in eng

asciilifeform: jagdpanzer

asciilifeform: more or less errything from graf zeppelin to tiger -- maybach

asciilifeform: just scarcely moar hp than asciilifeform's current auto...

asciilifeform: i still dun fully grasp why they lacked the diesel.

asciilifeform: burned like candle.

asciilifeform: and not contemplated as continuous cycle. but waste disposal of existing.

asciilifeform: corn yes. ready 0cost sacks of fat -- not comparable

asciilifeform: ( i suspect the answer is -- comically -- in the scarcity of the diesel cycle in its birth land !! almost until end of war, ~0 diesel there )

asciilifeform: gotta wonder why germans did not conceive of biodiesel. the tech was aaalmost there...

asciilifeform: right, hence oven.

asciilifeform: aha.

asciilifeform: witness that germans ~did~ send good % straight for soap.

asciilifeform: nobody makes bank, it's a 'this is slightly cheaper than immediate boiling for soap' option.

asciilifeform: everybody tries. even with stalin's human material as i understand the ev was only marginally +.

asciilifeform: because how.

asciilifeform: nao if i were today's berzin and ordered to organize canal building using homo redditus -- would prolly eat nagant.

asciilifeform: it's building material. for, say, a belomorcanal. or a ww1. etc

asciilifeform: the 'we use everything, even the squeal' folx -- theoretically giveashit.

asciilifeform: literally surplus folx.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751235 << this applies across the board. ( as amply observed by mircea_popescu and others ). and the males dun even have the 'retreat into biology' option. ☝︎

asciilifeform: whole item -- pertinent, imho.

asciilifeform: http://trilema.com/2013/the-divine-cunt/#selection-347.0-349.784 << see also.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751233 << softer version of the industrial world's 'abort everything that moves' issue ☝︎

asciilifeform: !~seen TheNewDeal

asciilifeform: nm looks like BingoBoingo linked : TheNewDeal

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751194 << there was a d00d, iirc he was going mad, decided to get rid of his coinz.. ☝︎

asciilifeform: 1st time i thought it was delirium dream

asciilifeform: there was, i even saw the occasional ostrich in dc suburbia back yards in '90s

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751191 << lol, did we just see mircea_popescu thinking in zimbabwebux !111 ☝︎

asciilifeform: nope. (tho they are sold widely here. but can't bring meself to eat ameriburger at all, not after the 1st one)

asciilifeform: and mine -- from mayakovsky

asciilifeform: well yes

asciilifeform: oh notbad

asciilifeform: 'ваше слово, товарищ маузер!'

asciilifeform: whatdoyouthink.

asciilifeform: optimistically.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751185 << but! then, they'd have to confront the fact that the land can support maybe 1 in 20 of'em . ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751173 << same protocol as everybody uses for their original sigs -- just put'em somewhere people can see'em , they'll end up in phf's thing ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751171 << aside from FZ's not being structs any longer, there shouldn't be much that you can't fix with search+replace ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-12-13#1751163 << indeed it is ☝︎

asciilifeform for 1st time in long time, sits down to mega-l0g, eats ☟︎

asciilifeform: from earlier lulzwww, https://ribalych.ru/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/anekdoty-i-kartinki_006.jpg << for mircea_popescu . ☟︎

asciilifeform: ( examples. )

asciilifeform: https://ribalych.ru/2016/05/06/kupite-vonyavki << subj earlier.

asciilifeform: !~seen jurov

asciilifeform: but czech

asciilifeform: however the champion's crown for (possibly) ultimate hilarious false-cognate lang sibling to ru is not ro

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: whereas my ro dict translates 'vrednic' -- 'worthy, notable'

asciilifeform: a вредник is, approx, a pest ( as in annoying kid brother )

asciilifeform: err, vrednic

asciilifeform: but , diana_coman , my current fave is vrednik

asciilifeform: the one with lawn-cutter motor, that dwarfs the saw blade per se

asciilifeform: that one is no accident, is named for the canonical 1950s-70s su chainsaw

asciilifeform also to fresh air

asciilifeform: laters.

asciilifeform: ( then of course occasional archaeologist turns up item that vaguely looks like wire, or bolt head, the ufologists swarm, like flies )

asciilifeform: lol

asciilifeform: last i heard 'the ancient ukrs had wireless : archaeologists, see, found 0 wires !!'

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: iirc modern ro 'academic' position is that all ru-isms are really 'slavonian', lol

asciilifeform recalls a metal shaving thermite thread from yr or 2 ago

asciilifeform: dict says стружка is 'a shaving'

asciilifeform: root строгать -- what you do with a carpenter's plane

asciilifeform: or cognate with стружка e.g. saw chip

asciilifeform: is there rotation in there ?

asciilifeform: hm what's the etymology

asciilifeform: all 'turners'.

asciilifeform: токарь . Dreher . tourneur . etc

asciilifeform: ( even in english, until recently was 'turner' )

asciilifeform: consider, to this day, what's a machinist called in most civilized folk langs

asciilifeform: didn't even mostly exist in 19th c

asciilifeform: dedicated mill is a luxury.

asciilifeform: foundation of all industry, really.

asciilifeform: lathe is ~the~ basic metalwork item.

asciilifeform: it's a lathe, tho, not a holography rig , stiffness moar important than dampening

asciilifeform: point

asciilifeform: naturally.

asciilifeform: maybe asciilifeform will buy !

asciilifeform: nifty.

asciilifeform: ( asciilifeform's little lathe has brass, interestingly, bed. 1970s item, even then ground rails were costly )

asciilifeform: how to grind marble flat , also was learned prior to how to grind steel .

asciilifeform: sad tabletop lathes typically lack gearing, period

asciilifeform: aha!

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: not only multi-kw, but proper gearbox

asciilifeform: nothing could be more mistaken -- the finer the work, the stiffer you want the thing

asciilifeform: there is a misconception that 'fine' 'watchmaker' work wants small lathes.

asciilifeform: it's what makes it stiff, usable.

asciilifeform: well noshit, proper lathe has steel pedestal

asciilifeform: ( and even it, i suspect, will have to be sold, won't fit in orbit capsule )

asciilifeform: my current one is sewingmachine-sized.

asciilifeform would luvv one.

asciilifeform: and a pretty common one in su world
