asciilifeform: most russians in chechnya, pre-collapse, weren't instinctively afraid of their neighbours either. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: You can't believe what an asset not reflexively being afraid of black people is in this region.
BingoBoingo: Yes, State Trooper in Illinois. Many accidents, many incidents, finally shipped to wander the big jail for killing two cute white girls in a traffic accident
ben_vulpes: <BingoBoingo> Well, my pet theory is that much of the continued racial separation in the US is related to treating race as an inventory management problem << out in the burbs recently, noticed while walking by a softball game while emptying the dogs tanks how the white folks sat on the left side of the field and the black folks on the other. this being in one of the few neighborhoods with actual black folks in portland, the ration was
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Did you see the guy I assigned the "Big Jail" link to?

assbot: ClubOrlov: The Rationale behind the Boston Psy-ops
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: try another hypothesis re: rationale for ferguson. engineered creation of 'open sores' for military action on the cheap. as described in http://cluborlov.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-rationale-behind-boston-psy-ops.html
BingoBoingo: Well, the Illinois State police recently started policing East St Louis so there is prolly a point to that
asciilifeform: inhabitants of a newly-minted bantustan are usually invited to handle these matters on their own.
BingoBoingo: I actually think the endgame a portion in Ferguson seeks is a police department like East St Louis's which see falling crime in spite of near complete inactio
asciilifeform: along side the bezzlatron, there exists the system whereby actual food is delivered, water, fuel, mains current, etc. is piped.

asciilifeform: usa proper is arguably the ultimate 'fridge'
BingoBoingo has never had a rental with locks worth more than a soda
asciilifeform still remembers the inscription on the fuse case - '1932' - in chemical pen.
asciilifeform: at the time, mine were at the top of a stairwell to nowhere (wall) - in the cellar (which the owner usually kept locked, to keep tenants from switching on the heat.)
BingoBoingo: I like how they fail beautifully, before you realize you have to traverse the county in a disorderly manner to replace them
asciilifeform did, two flats ago
asciilifeform: might handle better than the mains box >> to the extent that the fridges largely consist of deliberately-crafted thorns in the side of the old sovblok, bad bet.
BingoBoingo: Even though.. 2011 seemed for a while like American 1989...
BingoBoingo: I dunno, I imagine some of the refrigerators might handle better than the mains box when disconnected
asciilifeform: the fate of the contents of the various u.s.-powered 'refrigerators' around the world will be interesting.

mircea_popescu: It is said, if you try, you can bugger the fly, or the swallow as it skims so skilfully by
BingoBoingo: Well, some professions instead of hazing the n00bs haze the olds. See "retail pharmacy"
BingoBoingo: In the boy scouts, people at camp their first year were sent to the quartermaster to retrieve the illustious "left handed smoke shifter"
asciilifeform: but this here is a different idea - actually build the entire thing via moving nozzle (a la plastic printer.)
asciilifeform: chroming has been pressed into service as 'putting on tool' in some places.
asciilifeform: a traditional joke on a n00b in a machine shop, i'm told, is to send him off for a 'putting-on tool' when he cuts his first undersized piece.

mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo isn't the +iq effect of ba impressive.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: re: electrochemical machining: if you do the obvious thing and run it backwards, you can deposit metal. but you'll have to temper the finished product.

mircea_popescu: AHA! YOU SPOKE! THROUGH WHERE DID YOU SPEAK!
mircea_popescu: eventually the hedgehog loses it and peeps "i have no hole, let me be!"
mircea_popescu: so eventualy gave up, curled in a ball and hoped for the best.
mircea_popescu: just the poor hedgehog, with his tiny feet couldn't really keep up
mircea_popescu: all animals took to flight, earthworms hid in the ground as deep as they could go.
mircea_popescu: and the bear took to the road to find something to stick his hard cock into, repeatedly.
