asciilifeform: for what it is prescribed - i've not the faintest idea.
gribble: Error: We broke The Google!
BingoBoingo: Well, the trade name is Desoxyn
asciilifeform: somewhere it is produced. i recently visited a shop that sold surplus safes, of various sizes. some were from pharmacies, and had storage manifests glued on. included meth.
asciilifeform: and people actually went to school, and occasionally learned things.
BingoBoingo: They used to make their own here, but now for all I know Johnson and Johnson produces it.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: they would forge prescriptions for ephedrine (used in that period to treat asthmatics) and go from that.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in ussr, meth was 'invented' in the mid '80s. but all the aficionados made their own, without exception. there was no 'market' in the usual sense.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Costs too much for junkies to make their own, so it gets shipped from god knows where in the most efficient means possible
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: clearly these folks had no problems sourcing precursors.
Duffer1: what's the command?
BingoBoingo: Similar situation here. Now meth busts tend to look like this http://www.kmov.com/news/crime/Three-arrested-after-liquid-meth-is-found-inside-car-in-Metro-East-266104911.html
BingoBoingo: It's a pain in the ass to get them, but still available over the counter
asciilifeform: if i recall these were banned ?
BingoBoingo: other precursors tend to produce racemic product
BingoBoingo: (ephedrine, pseudoephedrine tend to do this)
asciilifeform: in the americas, those are largely unavailable to 'humans' - mafia, different story, buys by the drum
BingoBoingo: Precursors that lead to a largely dex- final product
BingoBoingo: Easier to start from scratch
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: That is actually a greater challenge than it sounds like.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i thought true aficionados will rotate it first
asciilifeform: a man - lives. but starts to rot, like a stereotypical 'zombie'
mircea_popescu: who the hell maintains a month long meth trip ?
asciilifeform: days - who doesn't do this. try month.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform i go for days without sleeping, often enough for not more than not feeling like it. this entire "sleep deprivation is bad for you" thing is bogus imo.
asciilifeform: re: 'performance enhancing' dopes - important to remember that, even supposing performance enhanced, it matters who you were. e.g. paul erdos will crap out theorems, a hooligan will be able to break that many more windows, a lunatic will rant longer and more vigorously, etc.
BingoBoingo: Interesting testament to different effects of the rotary property check the active ingredient http://www.vicks.com/products/vapo-family/vapoinhaler-nasal-congestion-relief/#
asciilifeform: (many of the maladies suffered by meth addicts - not only psychosis, but physiological - are also found in people who, for one reason or another - such as being under fire - cannot sleep)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It's one of the more interesting ones
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: from the u.s. army medical journals, a hypothesis - it's actually the sleep deprivation that does you in
BingoBoingo: Well, with methamphetamine levo-dexo rotary becomes a concern as well. l-methamphetamine is a rather safe decongestant. D-methamphetamine though... is the one that makes the news
gribble: Obscene Desserts: On "Panzerschokolade" and other fun German ...: <http://obscenedesserts.blogspot.com/2013/05/on-panzerchokolade-and-other-fun-german.html>; Twitter / Search - #panzerschokolade: <https://twitter.com/hashtag/panzerschokolade>; panzerschokolade II - Jarmila Mitrikova: <http://jarmilamitrikova.com/panzerschokolade-II>
asciilifeform hasn't tried
mircea_popescu: whatever theoretical chemistry may propose... meth ain't enhancing any performances.
BingoBoingo: methamphetamine has a greater propensity to promote psychosis at lower doses
mircea_popescu: so it selects for landwhales is what you're telling me ?
asciilifeform: afaik all the extra methyl gives is fat-solubility
mircea_popescu: like you know, a joke's funny but a meta joke's just lame ? same thing.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: The dose makes the poison.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: isn't meth supposed to be 'performance enhancing' dope ?
asciilifeform: 'encrypts every keystroke at the driver level' << what must one smoke, to conceive of this

mircea_popescu: ;;later tell mike_c the idea being that paid bombs will likely be a constant thing, with most games prolly over 90ish paid bombs, and both these will encourage a little bridging (ie, say it's .9 for the pool. now there's incentive for an extra .1). also #1 will give the losing side in the bomb pool tugwar a sneaky way to disrupt the winning bomb (by donating against their actual interest, to make it sum up to a differe

mircea_popescu: ;;later tell mike_c here's an idea : 1) if the bomb total pool goes over 1 btc, the first five digits past the decimal are used as a bomb location; and 2) if the bomb pool is over 5% of the total shares pool, the bomb is guaranteed to be big.
mircea_popescu: ibressh.org uses the IP number 217.70.184.38 only which also vente-cuisines-contemporaines-salondeprovence.com , en-bord-de-champs.com , gdlindustries.com and
copumpkin: mircea_popescu: well, good luck with that! I'm going to bed, just wanted to check in :)

mircea_popescu: you know how to voice yourself ? i forget.
mircea_popescu: nanotube hey, if i pay the google translate api thing, you bring back gribble translate ?
mircea_popescu: o it goes through assbot. i forgot, somehoiw thought you had rolled your own bot
mthreat: how does one update the ! bot
mircea_popescu: i'll pay the $20 if you want to add it.
mthreat: $20 per 1M characters of tet
assbot: Pricing - Google Translate API — Google Developers
mthreat: it looks like google translate is a paid service (for API) - https://developers.google.com/translate/v2/pricing
mircea_popescu: https://twitter.com/x__LaBellaVita/status/488503917387325441 < check out all the mike_c fan chicks coming out of the woodwork
mircea_popescu: google fucked up api access to gt
mircea_popescu: tho what'd be really useful would be a translate.

mircea_popescu: or w/e, you can just take pics with a camera. you got a camera don't you ?
mircea_popescu: you decrypt whatever on the laptop, and use the gun to read the screen
mircea_popescu: you buy the qr gun. you plug it into your windoze machine.
Duffer1: no idea how to do that
mircea_popescu: also what danielpbarron said. ffs, srsly ? make a key on the airgapped laptop and get a qr gun for cryssakes.
BingoBoingo: The thing is this Encrypt the keystrokes to beat keyloggers turd smells like pure security theatre and little else
Duffer1: atm i'm building a list of everything that needs to change, it's long
mircea_popescu: Duffer1 think. at some point your machine sees the keys.
mircea_popescu: <Duffer1> i suspect they called comcast and got some tier one wanker to reset pw << now this is also possible.
Duffer1: to prevent keylogging - even if they had hardware access to my machine they shouldn't be able to log
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: Why? Dunno what purpose a program like that can serve.
Duffer1: i use a program that encrypts every keystroke at the driver level
Duffer1: evil people, they don't like leaving me alone :(
Duffer1: danielpbarron they're unrelated for me at least
mircea_popescu: <Duffer1> this guy's got balls << who ?
artifexd: gpg key compromise can be recovered from. Once your coins fly, they're gone.
danielpbarron: maybe they have to get one to get the other
artifexd: Someone is also much more likely to try to steal a wallet than a gpg key.
Duffer1: yea pretty much convenience vs security on that one
danielpbarron: although you don't have that much in your gpg identity yet; 2 ratings
danielpbarron: i don't get it then; you have an offline machine for your BTC but you keep your gpg key on the online windows thing?
artifexd: With the lights off.
Duffer1: ya i take my shit seriously, which is why i'm surprised they got as far as they did
Duffer1: offline laptop, i bought it for that purpoes
danielpbarron: with what machine was the paper created?
Duffer1: i'm already on paper, but i'll probably have to change gpg info
artifexd: Sweeping to a paper wallet is first on my "what to do when shit is suspicious" list.
artifexd: Still, it might be a good idea to put sweeping all your wallets and changing your gribble keys on your cleanup todo list.
Duffer1: artifexd afaik my gpg key wasn't compromised, but i have know way to confirm, my bitcoins are safe, i don't have anything online or on my comp
BingoBoingo: cazalla: For pure ease of use some Debian derivative will prolly cause you the least headaches
mircea_popescu: mike_c rare tho
danielpbarron: I use it too; that's why I singled it out of all the other *nix variants
danielpbarron: cazalla, it's too popular; it's focus is on spready adoption rather than security
artifexd: Duffer1: Are your gpg key and bitcoin wallet secure? How do we know that you are really you?
