nubbins`: you'd be surprised the margins i get on most of these coins
benkay: that's your play with the coins, certainly.
nubbins`: life's a scam, so you better try to get yours!
nubbins`: yeah, it was essentially offering the same returns as that
nubbins`: sure, but it was somehow tied into another pmb
benkay: it's not terribly complex. it's a pmb.
nubbins`: so i wasn't able to suss out many details
nubbins`: anyway, all the info on f.pure.synth seems to be gone
Chris_Sabian_: what about TAT?
benkay: whether it's fancy paper with imaginary value now, or metal stamped paper with imaginary value in the future.
nubbins`: just offered at a better rate than other similar scams
nubbins`: AFAICT that was a scam too
kakobrekla: which one is that
benkay: hasn't had the stones to call mp out on the same scam tho
nubbins`: kakobrekla, i was giving tat grief over his rubecoin and pmb
benkay: face it man we're all just dancing around trying to fuck each other
nubbins`: numismatic collectors think "hey, this will be worth more money in the future" and sellers say "maybe, dunno"
benkay: "assuming this mintage is worth more than the underlying in the future"
Mats_cd03: KRS-One: how is whoisguard compared to safenames
nubbins`: pmb purchasers think "hey, mining = win" and the sellers say "assuming diff doesn't change..."
nubbins`: benkay, there's moral high ground in here?
nubbins`: "assuming network difficulty stays the same..."
benkay: nubbins` you just lost the moral high ground.
nubbins`: no they don't
nubbins`: well yes, that too
d_rebel: i have no idea why that's happening.
nubbins`: well don't tell that to the guy who paid 6btc for one loaded with 0.5btc
kakobrekla: any they are _all_ useless pretty much
nubbins`: Mats_cd03, there are a variety of denominations, from 0.1btc to 1000btc
nubbins`: sure, but we're not all vulgar enough to have a driver cart us around ;p
kakobrekla: mp would argue with the bike thing.
nubbins`: did i tell you i sold one of those for 6btc recently? :0
nubbins`: yes, those stupid coins too
kakobrekla: and those stupid cas coins.
nubbins`: what the fuck is 3d printing
Mats_cd03: (we're talking about 3d printing here right)
nubbins`: right, yeah, i like my laptop and drugs, too
kakobrekla: except for the mac thing.
Mats_cd03: not a connoiseur though
kakobrekla: pretty much same goes for , tell me what you like and ill tell you if you are a retard
Mats_cd03: i dont go on forums and post walls of text about any of those though
kakobrekla: well, its a saying, tell me who you hang out with and ill tell you who you are
Mats_cd03: i like coffee, thc, and pussy
nubbins`: Mats_cd03: what's worse than people who like things? people who don't think you should like the things you like
kakobrekla: you could hit someone on the head if you could remember who you wanted to hit
nubbins`: and it's assumed that their owners are just going to start dropping them off tables etc
nubbins`: kakobrekla, the lel is that those bongs cost several hundred dollars apiece
Mats_cd03: whats worse than audio geeks? coffee nerds
nubbins`: inventor ragequit the coffeegeek forums after a months-long argument about whether it's "espresso" or not :D
nubbins`: the aeropress actually makes an "espresso-like concentrate", that you then top up with hot water
nubbins`: you can get away with using less, tho
nubbins`: compensates for the 30 second brew time
nubbins`: fair warning, they suggest you use a large number of beans per cup
nubbins`: don't bother with a spare pack of filters, they give you like 300
KRS-One: I shall try one
KRS-One: $25 USD on ThinkGeek
kakobrekla: nevermind that.

nubbins`: and although you could probably throw it at a brick wall without breaking, that's probably not enough to justify the cost
kakobrekla: i thought we were past foodstamps here
nubbins`: consider that if ROOR made an aeropress it'd probably cost $200
nubbins`: that link i pasted actually talks about glass and metal
KRS-One: for instance, to smoke herb out of a nice ROOR Bong is a completely different experience than a fricken plastic one.
KRS-One: what do they have against glass and stainless steel?
nubbins`: as long as you don't store the aeropress with the plunger compressed, it should last forever
nubbins`: we have two ;(
nubbins`: (BPA) or any phthalates, chemicals that have been in the news lately because of possible health effects."
nubbins`: "The AeroPress is made of three different plastics. The clear chamber and plunger are made of copolyester. The hard black filter cap, filter holder, funnel, and stirrer are made of polypropylene. The rubber like seal on the end of the plunger is made of a thermoplastic elastomer. All of these materials are FDA approved for use in contact with food. None of these materials contain bisphenol-A
kakobrekla: yeah i need to get one of thsoe to try it out
KRS-One: it holds up to heat ok?
KRS-One: nubbins`: thats better
nubbins`: anyway, copolyester is what the aeropress is made of
nubbins`: remember when everyone thought BPA was safe?
KRS-One: i think its killing us
KRS-One: Sorry I just have a thing about plastic.
KRS-One: whoever is in charge of plastic can shove them all up his ass.
benkay: but hiding from them all in fear is a pretty safe approach.
benkay: hey KRS-One there are a bunch of different kinds of plastics
nubbins`: not sure offhand what type of plastic it's made from
KRS-One: u cant tell me thats not bad for u
KRS-One: ever drink water out of a plastic bottle? u can taste it
nubbins`: guy who invented the aerobie made it
benkay: nubbins`: what i love about the clever is that it combines the extraction time of the french press with the filtering of the pour over
nubbins`: benkay, i'd publish that
nubbins`: benkay: haven't tried the clever, but i do enjoy a good pour-over
benkay: nubbins`: yeah all of the things that szabo/satoshi wrote over the past 5 years or so
benkay: but subject of coffee, y'all ever fuck with the clever brewer?
benkay: BingoBoingo's nominally gathering up the satoshi letters
nubbins`: few better ways to spend a sunday than calculating your net worth while enjoying a large mug of aeropress coffee
KRS-One: wtf is that? ONE boob?
benkay: there is an awful chasm between people who want encryption and people who are willing to operate under the inconvenience of actual security.
asciilifeform: on the other hand, witness all the lost souls salivating over 'silent circle' and related crap.
asciilifeform: there is another, trickier problem that must be finessed.
benkay: so the flipside of the additiction to 'standards-compliant' is that now some people in big cushy chairs are finally getting the idea that their standards are just a backdoor for the us of a.
benkay: if the opportunity presents itself i'd be happy to. i'm not about to cold-call all the international law firms in dc, though.
asciilifeform: the folks you're talking about might be a hard sell. they'd need to be talked out of their addiction to 'standards-compliant' (read: u.s.-diddled) turdware.
asciilifeform: if you personally can make this happen, talk to mp!
benkay: besides they get to mark up the time spent fucking around with encryption to their clients - it's a win win win win win!
benkay: nevertheless, that law firm needs some cardanos and training on how to use them.
benkay: there are fifty people over there - and only one with a checkbook and the brains to recognize a solution that needs implementing, frequently attended by much organizational resistance to doing anything.
