asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i have that type of snake.

asciilifeform: why not take to logical conclusion, and use millstones

asciilifeform: but i haven't tried grinding wet ginsung or whatnot

asciilifeform: ahahahahahaha i have that one

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: mircea_popescu earlier suggested , 'boltzmann distrib' of coffee speck velocities, almost certainly has high end that grinds pieces of your vessel into the output ☟︎☟︎

asciilifeform: but you also gotta be able and willing to lift the throne ( old houses in usa have no cleanplug ) etc. ☟︎

asciilifeform: ikr ?

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: because unless you know how with own hands, 'fix' is 500-800bux

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: most clogs happen metre or two from the arse

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: that looks like a starbuckstron. which i always suspected has a part in explaining why their swill tastes like burned plastic

asciilifeform: lolwhy, the drain is a hole in the galleon's captain's cabin, hangs over the sea ?

asciilifeform: the joys of 'spend every penny you make, and owe maxint'

asciilifeform: ( phunphakt : in plebeland usa, it is not wholly unheard of for folx to live for weeks or months in a house without working drains. shit in buckets, dishes turn green, etc )

asciilifeform: fact being, the tub had a drain then. today, faucet still runs, but no drain.

asciilifeform: they also had proper wars.

asciilifeform: the 1880s housewife didn't insist on existing in 1e9 copies.

asciilifeform: shinohai: they had exactly like this grinder in the timis 'museum of communist konsoomer'

asciilifeform: this was described in the altschuller b00k

asciilifeform: oh hm if need to pulverize with juice still in, can try freezing

asciilifeform: vacuum dessicator.

asciilifeform: not salt

asciilifeform: ( or is the juice necessary )

asciilifeform: prolly would work if you dessicated it 1st

asciilifeform: needs fine powder ?

asciilifeform: incidentally why ground the thing in coffee grinder, vs blender ( with the glass bulb ) ?

asciilifeform: surgical steel would also work ☟︎

asciilifeform: so can haz kitchen bronze, then.

asciilifeform: oh hey didn't mircea_popescu at one time have a bronze mortar ?

asciilifeform: bronze has one possible headache : very often has pb added ( for machineability )

asciilifeform: possib

asciilifeform: why not teflon ? your grinder goes over 260C ?

asciilifeform: there are other fluoroplastics , that are easier to work / other desirable parameters tweaked ☟︎

asciilifeform: it's a fluoroplastic ( the su unbranding of it, naturally )

asciilifeform: iirc heat/pressure.

asciilifeform: afaik at stp in nuffin

asciilifeform: what's teflon soluble in ?

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-09#1734987 << swiss plastic rubbish aint what it used to be, eh ☝︎

asciilifeform: 'why dontcha stop sitting on anthill' 'wat' 'aha, get off the anthill' 'that's not possible, everywhere is anthill' etc

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-09#1735055 << this was the umpteenth 'i am beset with ants! and i heard you have an anteater here' wasnnit. ☝︎

asciilifeform back to bed

asciilifeform: snoar

asciilifeform: whossat

asciilifeform: 'The Commission has determined not to pursue an enforcement action in this matter based on the conduct and activities known to the Commission at this time' << lol!

asciilifeform: 40s usa was afaik by very long shot the best looking horse in the glue factory.

asciilifeform: revisiting upstack, the other side of http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-09#1734943 medal -- asciilifeform's ancestors, had fruit trees. but asciilifeform does not get to have fruit trees, and it makes him slightly sadder. ☝︎

asciilifeform: 'there's plenty of room at the bottom' (tm)(r)(feynman)

asciilifeform: and in the swamp.

asciilifeform: e.g. owning 0

asciilifeform: i can think of worse things to be in usa

asciilifeform: or you mean in present day.

asciilifeform: how did 'air dissolvd their wot' ? plenty of italians famiusly preserved their wot in usa

asciilifeform: *old

asciilifeform: not so much doing-of-italianthings happening back in okd italy any moar, neh

asciilifeform: instead of the only industrial empire not wrecked by the war.

asciilifeform: where would you rather they had gone in 40s , lol ☟︎

asciilifeform: but he gets to eat'em.

asciilifeform: no moar then my current one objects, lol

asciilifeform: antennae, cemented safes, etc.

asciilifeform: orc landlord aint building optic cablimg, ☟︎

asciilifeform: and imho a house you haven't usefully 'gentooed' is merely... a hotel. may as well live in actual hotel

asciilifeform: ( and even him i seem to recall cursing the air conditioner people in b-a )

asciilifeform: unlikely to get this level of service from orc landlord, unless you're mircea_popescu ☟︎

asciilifeform: but granted 'tco' optimization is a very personal thing

asciilifeform: neither is a toyota's worth of orcland

asciilifeform: but not 'married' it either

asciilifeform: you don't lease the chair you sit in, neh

asciilifeform: will be interesting to read .

asciilifeform: or trinque

asciilifeform: have you been there yet, ben_vulpes ?

asciilifeform: iirc thailand bans all land ownership by noncitizens. but this is prolly finessable mircea_popescutronically.

asciilifeform: that's doable anywhere.

asciilifeform: asians ? lactose-indigesting folx ?

asciilifeform: but i'd be genuinely surprised to learn that there are, say, multitude of quality icecream vendors, in thailand.

asciilifeform not yet been in person there, cannot speak to the practical acuteness of said problem.

asciilifeform: relatively.

asciilifeform: see china thread. white man phood scarce in we-dun-lactase land.

asciilifeform: if you have stomach for life in 'rice kingdoms', it is mega-destination.

asciilifeform: lotta ru folx in thailandistan

asciilifeform: oblig mountain sub >> http://btcbase.org/log/2015-11-21#1329005 ☝︎

asciilifeform: then all water will seem warm.

asciilifeform: either that, or grow yer skin fat, like the finns

asciilifeform: prolly yer path lies to the tropics, then, to mircea_popescu landia.

asciilifeform: i dun think i ever saw warm water outdoors.

asciilifeform: it's called bathtub, lel

asciilifeform: your subs need warm ?!

asciilifeform: ( figs did not grow in o )

asciilifeform: or for that matter , timis is same parallel as odessa but warmer, because in a 'kettle'

asciilifeform: recall argentinistan

asciilifeform: not same microclimate

asciilifeform: same as where

asciilifeform: if it ain't a seekrit, to where does ben_vulpes want to move ?

asciilifeform: failed checksum ?

asciilifeform: ( ftr it ain't as if asciilifeform had a thing to move into yet. but may as well get all of the parallelizable balls rolling. )

asciilifeform: most of my earthly goodz dun merit the cost.

asciilifeform: i'ma make a container, but prolly not 2 and defo not 3

asciilifeform: may as well sell for fiatola, or leave for the vultures.

asciilifeform: i dun have any desire to give away to non-l1

asciilifeform bbl, meat

asciilifeform: kudos to phf for finding a fella who needed a lispm.

asciilifeform: at any rate, l1 folx firmly stuck in usa ( who... ben_vulpes ? mod6 ? ) invited to inquire re particulars.
