ben_vulpes: why would you need a battery with that kind of capacity IF YOU ARE DOING ONBOARD ELECTRICAL GENERATION?
ben_vulpes: dude it's not a store, listen to me.
ben_vulpes: yes, you replace the clutch plate it is a wear part.
ben_vulpes: my point is don't use the battery as anything other than a temporal load leveler, and bam you have yourself effectively a clutch. ☟︎
asciilifeform: nope, surprisingly, per A-h
asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: keep a ups with lead acids? ever try not changing them for 3+y ?
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-14#1655439 << i have a bunch of these here, they're mighty spiffy ☝︎

asciilifeform: speaking of which, i wonder if they'd like a FUCKGOATS.

mircea_popescu: plenty of "oh, everyone ELSE affected". now tell me fedex is a ... private company, not a usg agency. because that's totally how private companies communicate, and absolutely not how the soviet agencies speak.
mircea_popescu: lol poor danielpbarron was waiting for shirts for like a year
asciilifeform: 'WASHINGTON FedEx said on Friday it was experiencing issues with some of its Microsoft Corp Windows systems in relation to a global cyber attack that had disrupted hospitals in England and infected computers in dozens of other countries around the world.

shinohai: A good morning golden shower
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> and yes, "democracy" is in quotes because it has no substance, can at most ever be a varnish and no more. << Nah, varnish does have some substance. More like Xylene
mircea_popescu gets a "heh" card
mircea_popescu: and yes, "democracy" is in quotes because it has no substance, can at most ever be a varnish and no more.
mircea_popescu: maintaining "our democracy" compatible prisons is too expensive ; not maitaining them produces the sops problem, which is a surer "democracy" solvent than austrian painters named adolf.
ben_vulpes: back a few branches, on the topic of dudes who would rather be in jail: http://katu.com/news/local/police-man-found-masturbating-vigorously-says-he-did-it-because-he-hates-portland
mircea_popescu: there's also something about 1k hp producing a lot of pleasure or somesuch.
phf`: ahaha, computer has been taken over, girl learned a new dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5VqQjVExTU
mircea_popescu: phf` fwiw styles is actually right. arguaby chavery is a genre.
mircea_popescu: the reason being that there's a whole troop of intellectuals who missed their web development calling and instead of sitting on compuer all day checking out what's new in rust they just collate crap from across the youtube.
phf`: it's like a mixture of all the oh-i-remember-this-was-popular chav styles from across the world
phf`: i'm not even sure my office is ready for this. i kind of want to open a hookah bar with really bad rail drinks and bottle service just so that i can play that stuff on TVs
mircea_popescu: not a general. check out his tau homepage, even has pic.
mircea_popescu: there is no romanian in there, though. fat guy is a popular gypsy singer, the ~only actual word in his speech would be "carolina" which is only romanian inasmuch "o iubesc pe carolina, e o fata din carpati, are ochii ca si marea si-i frumoasa ca o stea, o carolina lina lina carolina cha cha cha" etc 30 yo kid rhymes.
phf`: i have a very what's the word straight? romanian coworker. i like to periodically send some of the things i glean through mircea_popescu about romanian this guy's way. just to watch his reaction.
mircea_popescu: meanwhile in a UN refugee camp near you, http://68.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lymp8b5sNM1qlne6uo1_1280.jpg

mircea_popescu: pure pressurized rn container is a handling hazard.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-12 13:27 asciilifeform: then dies of hugochavez a year or so later.
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-12#1655122 << so what, they're going to hide a gassed wine cellar in the guy's immediate proximity for 6 months ? ☝︎
mircea_popescu: While the documents describes an incredibly powerful code-breaking project, according to what hacker and computer researcher Andrew "Bunnie" Huang told The Intercept, if you're using the latest encryption, you don't have anything to worry about. "Even if [WindsorGreen] gave a 100x advantage in cracking strength, it's a pittance compared to the additional strength conferred by going from say, 1024-bit RSA to 4096-bit RSA or go
phf`: come to think of it the whole exhaust in the kitchen applies to other cases where exhaust is mandatory: i like the small of soldering rosin or the smell of freshly sawed wood, but i wouldn't want to spend much time in a workshop that doesn't have an exhaust. and you have similar failure mode: "come all to work on projects!" hackerspaces notoriously don't have exhaust

mircea_popescu: (i have azn friend who likes trying to bother me. feigned surprise at how we here in the decadent west let the toilet water go to waste, when we could raise a koi in there. jsut think alf! millions of toilets! tons of carp!)
mircea_popescu: eyah, somehow teh socialist masquerading as co-op-ist isn't quite prepared for a) his nonsense to be readily identified, "rock soup, rly?" and b) the obvious "just make sure it's not dishcloth borscht" ready counter.
phf`: ahaha, that's a great metaphor. i think somebody, possibly Gogol had some similarly visceral imagery, but i don't remember it as a phrase
mircea_popescu: phf` is there a ru equiv of the "ciorba de spalatoare" ro concept ? dishcloth borscht ?
mircea_popescu: yeah. basically it's large scale fat distillation. might as well sit atop a refinery tower.
phf`: diana_coman: i think smell of food is different in home kitchen vs industrial kitchen like at a restuarant
phf`: there's too many places to name that fuck up the whole vent thing. there's a small cafe next to my apartment that i can't go to because they don't have exhaust. but i think it's a general "oh we need to cook? i'm going to replicate my mom's kitchen". at least they now all get proper stoves, probably after watching cooking shows where fire goes "woosh" when it's cooking
phf`: opened a bottle, used it a little bit, corked it again, to use again later?
mircea_popescu: 1. the restaurant was unvented. if you went on the loft above of it, you could thouroughly smell it. so would your clothes if you spent enough there -- such as, time for a meal.
mircea_popescu: but i belittled and insulted the mousy brunette playing the ocd type, we had a lot of fun.
phf`: it's nifty, i think i've seen variations on the idea, but this sounds like a solid execution
mircea_popescu: she has a kitchen, an art exhibition where a young painter who was not even untalented! was working on his (really, not bad) stuff, a wine whatever, everything.
mircea_popescu: she got a nice place on the cheap no doubt -- hey, what else is the point of being in real estate ? -- and spent a year furnishing it into a concept restaurant.
mircea_popescu: lemme tell you a story.
asciilifeform: then dies of hugochavez a year or so later. ☟︎
asciilifeform: or say fella 'gotta have problems' and needs a tooth pulled. so he gets a bit of Rn in his laughing gas...
asciilifeform: and never in, say, a boat. plane.
asciilifeform: it'd be a pretty spiffy murder weapon, if you think about it. alpha emitter, doesn't show on any commonplace geiger. detectors exist, but typically folx put'em in cellars, where natural radon comes from earth
phf`: “Ask HN: How can a front-end developer dive into machine learning?”

mircea_popescu: ahh, hanbot found a great fucking place. cabaret-restaurant.
BingoBoingo: That's too be expected. Competence is a very lordly attribute
danielpbarron: i did a better job of it than she did though
danielpbarron: her friend was kinda cute, asked me to sing a duet with her
danielpbarron: i found a karaoke venue that lets me sing "offensive" songs. at some point after i finished singing one of my songs, a girl calls for my attention using my name. i don't recall what i said, but her reply was to say that i was "rude" to her. i lose interest and walk away. later on i'm outside having a smoke and she confronts me again. says she "has a bone to pick" with me about something she heard i had said to one of her male frien
ben_vulpes: gag me with a fork

BingoBoingo: "A crushed cockroach leaks micrograms of linoleic acid. Linoleic acid is an essential nutrient in humans (you need to eat about 3 grams/day) and is essentially odorless. If you are a cockroach it is an overwhelmingly powerful chemical signal - a pheromone - to RUN AWAY! It makes evolutionary sense, doesn't it? Anything that stomps on cockroaches should be avoided if you are a cockroach. "
asciilifeform: there was even a u.s. patent..
BingoBoingo: Do you have a link for that one?
asciilifeform: lol, very well trained, they ate a good chunk of roof

asciilifeform: on plus side, 'Support for the musl C library was added for the AArch64, ARM, MicroBlaze, MIPS, MIPS64, PowerPC, PowerPC64, SH, i386, x32 and x86_64 targets. It can be selected using the new -mmusl option in case musl is not the default libc. GCC defaults to musl libc if it is built with a target triplet matching the *-linux-musl* pattern.'
asciilifeform: and didjaevenknow there ~were~ a g6 ?!
asciilifeform: 'Support for the g5 and g6 -march=/-mtune= CPU level switches has been deprecated and will be removed in a future GCC release.' << laugh, cry, ben_vulpes et al
shinohai: AT least I died knowing I had grip like a virgin vagina filled with alum.
ben_vulpes: girl germinated a batch with ~every method
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Nice. That is indeed a part of the root vegetable paradox. I imagine the best beets are grown in potter's clay
asciilifeform: e.g., 'Support for a number of older systems and recently unmaintained or untested target ports of GCC has been declared obsolete in GCC 6. Unless there is activity to revive them, the next release of GCC will have their sources permanently removed.'
pete_dushenski: mod6, asciilifeform : re : 'from whom' patch : it would definitely be a useful tool for mapping network connectivity.
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Don't forget the 9 inch linesman pliers in case you have to take into bondage not a pretty girl
shinohai: I shall! Then when someone knocks and asks "Pardon me, do you happen to have a ball-gag handy?" I can reply with an enthusiastic "Yes!"
mircea_popescu: splurge and spend the 15 to buy a ball gag. it's one of those items, like cased bullet, that can't really be replaced in the kitchen.
shinohai: I suppose, lacking such instruments, a simple rag and some rope will suffice.
shinohai: You never know with me. I have a girl here I'd love to stuff a ball-gag into as we speak.
a111: Logged on 2017-05-10 11:37 shinohai: Nifty phf, I kinda want a copy myself now.
phf`: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-10#1653984 << so i got a copy, mine had a mechanical looking gash in the spine, had to send it for replacement. otherwise it's not horrible. it's a cheap thermal binding, but the paper is crisp, and the source is TeX so it looks reasonable. ☝︎☟︎
asciilifeform: 'in the great birdlessness, my arse is a nightingale' etc.
