mircea_popescu: oh isn't it british assrape something ? my bad then! ☟︎
mircea_popescu: if that isn't an occupation government, what exactly would constitute one ?

mircea_popescu: just had lulz on a walk with girl yest, in that we saw a larger than common cement mixer on a construction site, and i said it's they're normally like a coupla galon's worth, and she agreed, and then she guessed the present one at 30 and i said it's like 120 yeah and she was totally blown out, no way it's 120 galons ? no, liters. this girl, two years ago, misjudged the volume of a hangar she was physically present in by three
mircea_popescu: they come out of it.
mircea_popescu: most of the girls had no idea eg, thermodynamics puts strict limits and firm relations between movement and energy, including as it pertains to their eating. or that all things that exist can be made and are in fact made. or how to evaluate anything, a distance, a cost, a length or a volume. or so on.
mircea_popescu: anyway, i don't score cluelessness for stupidity. it's structured and self defending/perpetuating cluelessness that triggers.
mircea_popescu: was funny, too, with all the airports and shit. "is that a screwdriver ?" "yeah" "you can't take screwdrivers on the airplane!" "no, it's ok, see, it has fittable heads" "ah... uh... i see. well it's ok then."

mircea_popescu: WILL gleefully fix grammar error and move on ; no shits given to the obvious "wait, how come there was a glaring gramatical error in supposed reference text"
mircea_popescu: and also, and this is the best part, just about 0% measurable "this is not right" in folks under 40, even when presented with egregious "subtle" changes in supposedly very well known, foundational tests.
mircea_popescu: (it's ok though, he "does networking" and "is working on his personal brand" which is jhust as good)
mircea_popescu: also young of counsel less qualified than average paralegal in his chosen profession
mircea_popescu: even if present in firm's library.
mircea_popescu: average paralegal is not capable of retrieving old dead tree
mircea_popescu: 100%. tried and tested.
mircea_popescu: or if ass against proboscis.
mircea_popescu: thing is, if you don't like something all you really gotta do os shake head really hard and go nopenopenopenope. that's it.

mircea_popescu: "this last one took about half a day overnight while i slept"
mircea_popescu: "here's a list of factorials calculated by alf's ffa : "

mircea_popescu: very short and elegant really.
mircea_popescu: mod6 its routines!
mircea_popescu: there is that.
mircea_popescu: where's the adventure in that
mircea_popescu: hey, i just make the plans, i don't implement them!
mircea_popescu: so if you can't buy it steal it.
mircea_popescu: still counts for a few jerrycans.
mircea_popescu: fine, 10 grams, takes you down to 30 gigajoules for the trip.
mircea_popescu: so leave with 10kgs of po 210, arrive with 5kgs of po and 5kgs of lead, have a grand total of 30 Terajoules of energy for the trip. try not to waste so much you can't gain orbit.
mircea_popescu: 6 Gjoules / gram
mircea_popescu: !~calc 6.023 * 10**23 * 5.3 * 10**6 * 1.6 * 10 ** -19 / 84
mircea_popescu: anyway, the naturally occuring (210) does a 5.3mev decay to lead which is of interest.
mircea_popescu: i dun wanna
mircea_popescu: i dun wanna do mols of polonium cuz it's heavy.
mircea_popescu: starts out as 140watt-seconds each gram. decays.
mircea_popescu: am i gonna have to actually do the true maffs here
mircea_popescu: well ? it decays.
mircea_popescu: no, kw.
mircea_popescu: ten kgs of polonium are good for 140 days, during which the missing 5kgs will have produced 700 kW. enough to get across teh seas
