mircea_popescu: for one thing, the pumps aren't going out, they'll be here no matter what. water dun climb 1k feet out of fellowship.
mircea_popescu: you have no idea what jungle means. you'll find out one day.
mircea_popescu: did anyone desing for this ? who, the water lizzards ?
mircea_popescu: oh and as a bonus : obviously the more complicated to be replaced is also the one that should be : the litteler pump in the heating system.
mircea_popescu: better example of how a) commodified "All purpose" hardware plus b) best intentions all around produce an unmanageable (literally, as a physical reality) situation could not be devised.
mircea_popescu: but in practice... you end up with two of these on partial circuits, and now i need a fluid flow phd to take a shower.
mircea_popescu: this is the best example of unintentional bad complexity ever.
mircea_popescu: because of this complicated arrangement, i can experiment with histerezis in my shower!
mircea_popescu: and the shower has a pair of buttons : if you increase the hot water debit, this drops pressure for the hot pump, which kicks in, dropping pressure for the main pump, which kicks in. and vice-versa.
☟︎ mircea_popescu: now, the main pump is obviously pressure graded : if pressure drops it kicks into higher gear. the heating system has its own pump. which, of course, ALSO presure graded.
mircea_popescu: so, i don't have a reservoir here. i could build one, but i don't want to, because it'd be too small (there's a minimum size of reservoir, because the algae ie "taste" is a function of surface approx, whereas volume obv matter of volume ; if your tank is not big enough it'll be flavoured.)
mircea_popescu: shocking how simple measures never occur, "coincidentally". really, it .. wouldn't be practical to mandate anyone on the public budget stop using fossils ? awww.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo how about just stocking one fucking whip, and beating the stupid daughter to the point she cant fucking speak next she comes up with "But i LOVE HIM!!! daddy" nonsense.
mircea_popescu:
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-08-30#1706369 << how about focusing on your own fucking problems! clean up that pizza wrapper! cook for fucking once. go out and walk that misfortunate dog of yours. instead of pretending to "solve" the problems of distant others for the transparent reason that you can avoid having to confront not having done ANYTHING in a whole decade this way.
☝︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: it's unclear whether this means very ass or three asses, but in any case, let no one ever call me an asshole. i'm evidently a triasshole.
mircea_popescu: in other news, locally sourced undershirts of my most serene majesty are very fine cotton, but also Tres Asses brand.
mircea_popescu: hey, did i mention the artificial technology future implants ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's really in the vein of "artificial implants and future intelligence will bla bla" sorta argument. one step removed from d&d.
mircea_popescu: actually putting it in would certainly be a violation of the nonmilitarization of space convention.
mircea_popescu: kanzure it's empty wankery of the sort a certain kind of us-born, esl drone (aka, castrato) engages in.
mircea_popescu: "oh, the blue usg has come up with some orc that'll do their dirty work of trying to steal publicly funded research from the rest of the usg"
mircea_popescu: in case anyone wondered "How do famous athletes and child actors end up peniless", this'd be how. like those two retarded twins, what was their name, the mcgregors. "oh we're gonna buy relevancy" "yeah, totally, that's something that works"
mircea_popescu: bitcoins to pantsuit cunts that deal was "we'll give you 10k in cash for what we imagine is 100k in publicity" "lol this 100k in publicity is maybe worth 10 bux. deal."
mircea_popescu: how does such huge important mass manage to not have any inertia is anyone's guess ; how fucking broken everyone involved's mind must be not not realize inertialess = worthless is anyone's guess.
mircea_popescu: funny how these shits are OMFG HUGE IMPORTANT RA RA RA until some bagholder actually buys them, at which point they entirely disappear overnight.
mircea_popescu: whatever happened to telegram or w/e it was the one they did buy ?
mircea_popescu: totally. what the fuck is kik anyway, the irrelevant nonservice that facebook didn't buy for a trillion ?
mircea_popescu: " With millions of users, Kik said it hopes to drive mainstream consumer adoption of Kin, potentially making it the most widely used cryptocurrency."
mircea_popescu: "o man, the guys in finance figured out a way to get paid for selling shares without selling any" "whoa" "Technologee man. it can do anything" "can it make you shut up ?"
mircea_popescu: wtf does buying "their" version of the usg coin get me ? "uhhh... same as the republic's" bitch... you can't be the same as the republic. you suck ; the republioc doesn't.
mircea_popescu: i'm at the edge of my chair with bated breath awaiting the imperial notion of the list.
mircea_popescu: not to mention, eerily similar to demented, drooling char stack which ~pseudorandomly skips bits known as unicode.
mircea_popescu: We're Boring And Stupid doesn't quite have the same sound to it
mircea_popescu: why do these dorks imagine they're involved with bitcoin again ?
mircea_popescu: there's a limited ammount of different transactions that can be indexed, and that limit is not 2.1e12.
mircea_popescu: moreover, no, most emphatically NO there could not be subdivisions below the satoshi. in fact, not even fractions as small as the 100s of satoshis can be practically used.
mircea_popescu: kanzure
http://ledgerx.com/is-btc-real << this is uniquely stupid. for one thing, the "conceptualization" of bitcoin as a "real number" is below sophomoric. there is no such thing as a "btc", properly speaking ; it's satoshis all the way down, and they are integers.
☟︎☟︎ mircea_popescu: (ie, item that'd permit any munchausen exploit from occuring)
mircea_popescu: no seriously, this is actually used. take weak laser from tube 1 through tube 2.
mircea_popescu: whole principle of laser is that excited atom will spit out photon in phase with photon going by
mircea_popescu: my point being : you can blow your own tube, buy your own gas, hook it all up, and let it go. kitchenware.
mircea_popescu: yes but dun have to be 20k usd. just get a cubic meter of gas mix, and some flexible pipe.
mircea_popescu: ok then. so wtf is this "100w laser". measure it in liters instead.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it's a mix tho, co2 is trace amt in laser co2.
mircea_popescu: if lab can keep an o2 tank, it can also keep an co2 laser tank
mircea_popescu: i think it might be a cultural thing. milk coffee was common breakfast kiddy thing in ro. i was amused to discover same is true in say nicaragua.
mircea_popescu: people HAVE historically claimed it's "good for you" "better food than food" "makes you smart" etc. especially back when not most people could get it.
mircea_popescu: bad for you, esp in quantities ; can have some chocolate now and again ; ruins the taste of coffee or tea.
mircea_popescu: actually, in biological terms sugar is a very fine comparison point.
mircea_popescu: again, this is the theoretical view of movie cocaine. it dun work in this manner in practice.
