nubbins`: Q: for those of us with metal-and-glass phones, is there an alternative to the classic noPhone? plastic is yucky.
pete_dushenski: "With a thin, light and completely wireless design, the noPhone acts as a surrogate to any smart mobile device, enabling you to always have a rectangle of smooth, cold plastic to clutch without forgoing any potential engagement with your direct environment. Never again experience the unsettling feeling of flesh on flesh when closing your hand. "
assbot: noPhone. A technology-free alternative to constant hand-to-phone contact.

BingoBoingo: "I've talked to both the St. Louis County Police Department and Ferguson...they have no record...no file number, no report," he said. "They don't have anything."
BingoBoingo: When we spoke with him several hours later, the story just got weirder.
BingoBoingo: "We want to find out who and what agency took possession of the bullet," he said. "We want to identify who was responsible for firing the weapon that ended up with a bullet being lodged in the front of Mya's head."
TomServo: hey hey hey, shit in StL is too serious - we need to focus on beheaded journalists now.

thestringpuller: lemme see if i can get the designer on the line
nubbins`: sure, i'm back and forth here for the next hour or so
thestringpuller: accept your offer. can we discuss terms today?
nubbins` scrolls backwards to quote
thestringpuller: usagi uh, it has more to do with flexibility of ligiments
usagi: I also imagine the restriction would also allow you to increase or reduce the ratio of fast twitch fibres, because theoretically the body wouldn't toss out muscle mass which is being frequently used
usagi: My theory is if you perform certain kinds of exercises your body will cut out the extraneous muscle mass inhibiting your motion and you will be able to move/respond quicker using less energy. Useful for sports
usagi: Yea it has to do with your body overcompensating for keeping it's balance (for example) by adding extra muscle mass to groups of muscles in reciprocal inhibition, mass you don't need and which interferes with your motion
usagi: Well nubbins when I say that I mean certain things about opposing muscle tension
usagi: I mean it sounds obvious, but actually, the way in which the body goes about reducing it's muscle mass is something which is fascinating to me
usagi: When I read that it gave me a number of ideas
usagi: For me, one of the most interesting features of a water fast is that your body will cut down on it's extraneous muscle mass as well as body fat. I will have to try it one of these days
nubbins`: why's the audio so shit on this version?
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: at the time in question, you literally could not go on a date if you sucked in school. << sounds like some kind of miracle land compared to the anti-intellectual "i are sportsstar" culture here
pete_dushenski: pankkake: we're trying to tease apart the research on calorie restriction and that on fasting, but still interesting
pete_dushenski: ;;later tell mircea_popescu more on the fasting http://contravex.com/2014/08/17/who-are-we-not-nationals/#comment-4734
pete_dushenski: decimation: 'pep rally' << been to a few of these myself. because morale! at least our school had the bestest cheerleaders in the city
mike_c: ;;later tell RagnarDanneskjol are you working on an ATC block explorer?
pete_dushenski: now there's a market: anonymous smartphone apps!
pete_dushenski: sorta "hi please to hook up with me based on glamour shots from when i was 5 years younger"
nubbins`: is grindr that app that lets you anonymously tell men you want to cum on their tits?
pete_dushenski: nubbins`: tinder is grindr for straight pplz
nubbins`: have never seen this in action before :0
nubbins`: hey, this printer stopped mid-page with an out-of-ink warning. i fixed the problem, and it's picking up where it left off.
asciilifeform: nah 'tinder' should be an app where you sign up to burn on the stake.
nubbins`: is that the app that lets you anonymously tell women you want to cum on their tits?
pete_dushenski: and on tinder
pete_dushenski: mistaking them for learning institutions is how you end up 29 yo and single
nubbins`: <- CS degree, wrote exactly two working programs as part of my CS curriculum
asciilifeform: (other than a library)
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: the interesting part of that thread was that, afaik, there isn't anywhere you can go in usa to study 'proper' chemistry
pete_dushenski: well 'prep' in the sense that if you can't memorize the bible in latin, med school will rape you
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: more 'weedout' than prep
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: the students are asked to simply memorize the book of, e.g, organic reactions. << myeah. tis perfect med skool prep
pankkake: "One must always be aware that their fodder for arguments consists of internet memes and attempts at being witty" same goes for twitter, not that you could do anything else there
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: 'homo redditicus' << lulz. let's make this term canonical
pete_dushenski: decimation: heh perhaps I should pick an orthogonal basis << there's always the ol' first_last!
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: and by too clean i mean the sort that doesn't bareback random whores because "who knows what may happen" << this point has me reflecting. am i scanning the world of business ideas for puuurfect? when non-broken will suffice? well fuck.

usagi: I would imagine thats why he bought the rights
mircea_popescu: copyright covers performance you ninny. unless you're listening to an amphora capture of original greek choruses, it's covered alright.
