asciilifeform: ( the flip side: if you don't deliver on schedule, might lose your head... but you WILL deliver, neh? 0
asciilifeform: visit pyongyang. moscow. betcha there are sane folx there, who will listen when you offer cheap laserdiode, microplate analytical box, etc
asciilifeform: take a fat, greasy shit right into the mouth of 'intellectual property', 'bioethics', misc. retardations.
asciilifeform: if -- as i understand -- you're a money man, kanzure , what the hell are you still doing in the heart of the shitreich ?☟︎
asciilifeform: boosts not only your profit margin, but respectability, 100x.
asciilifeform: pro tip : piss on american patents, 'regulations', decrees.
asciilifeform: how about find the reason, kanzure . sell some diodes. sell something useful. elsewise it looks very strange, you come here for no apparent reason than to insult, 'y'all idjits, noise, yer products, all fake, mp is powerless dolt just like me and my shilliconvalley catamites' etc☟︎
asciilifeform: diode could take over in hobbyist niche, if 30W diode didn't cost same as 100W tube. ( 30w cutter is a toy, fit only for carving porn into wooden planks )
asciilifeform: ~all large industrial cutting laser -- tube, still.☟︎
asciilifeform: but currently best bang for the buck, by order of magnitude.
asciilifeform: i can't decide if this is more or less hilarious than gaseous food.☟︎
asciilifeform: srsly, steel body for rf-excited laser tube ?!
asciilifeform: or... 15:26 <@fenn> now this may sound radically radical, but why not just use a metal tube << this and elsewhere, demonstrates that any and all of these people, are innocent of having ever worked with their hands, or studied so much as kindergarten experimental physics, chemistry, take yer pick
asciilifeform: i dun even live in fucking califuckia
asciilifeform: even i have a working co2 setup. and i'm not even '1%'.
asciilifeform: srsly, 'too hard to maintain co2 tube and exhaust' ? let's-go-shopping ?
asciilifeform: 15:06 < kanzure> uh, my complaint about lasers isn't about the laser itself, but rather the optics usually associated (or, in cases where i need to maintain a co2 tube, i also mean co2 tubes)
asciilifeform: kanzure: you've been doing this since... '07? or when. what do you and the platoon of talkers have to show for it ? where is the desktop-biolab-on-a-chip ?
asciilifeform: btw the original 'donor blood' BcHE 'bioscavenger' thing -- afaik still in production. when you donate blood in usa, chances are, some of it goes to help lizards survive their inevitable someday contact with the curative gas.
asciilifeform: well clearly toomuch. but can dream!11
asciilifeform: ideally 1 perfect sheet of glass, not 1 tree standing.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: if i live to see the thermoablation of shitifornia, i will have lived long enough.
asciilifeform: whole thing reeks rancidly of 'bay aryan'. whether there is something of substance buried beneath the kilometres of sludge -- i cannot say.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: hey, why would they want to study it! can simply 'unhappen' it. i suspect they will not even flinch when we start formatting their hdds
asciilifeform: ( after this -- Framedragger take2; then ssl ... )
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: we're ~61% though the Framedragger dataset atm.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i was not able to discern these folx's priors -- other than 'we suck thiel's cock on command, like every good redditpilltaker'
