asciilifeform: meanwhile, in the sad zoo, https://archive.is/twvyY ( for expert entomologists strictly )

mircea_popescu: lobbes ye olde link 404s. sadly i'm affraid this particular corner case wasn't covered in mp-wp user friendliness, doesn't autofix it.
lobbes: aite, here's the updated link >> http://blog.lobbesblog.com/2018/09/logbot_command_router_python-genesis/
lobbes: hmm looks like the system date was reset on teh rockchip on restart; fucked up the post url. one sec. will fix
mircea_popescu: anglos were thoroughly fucked up by french artillery there.
mircea_popescu: speaking of both artillery and teh anglo-jewishness, i find it funny there's so much hay about agincourt etc, but hardly ever mentioned teh equally lulzy battle of castillion.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-02 17:31 mircea_popescu: they didn't merely lose the sale ; but specifically sov-style she was "asked to leave".
mircea_popescu: certainly well the fuck more was possible than http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-02#1846916 bullshit. ☝︎
asciilifeform: erry time i read about 'faberge' era tech, astonished re what was possible
asciilifeform: which had to be wet.
asciilifeform: interestingly the weak point was not the metals, then, but the pressure gasket. they had to use leather.
mircea_popescu: still, you have to have finely machined fine alloys.
asciilifeform: their compressor was a thing resembling old school fire brigade pump, the kind with seesaw handle
asciilifeform: was finnicky/expensive tech tho, and did not catch on
asciilifeform: it is interesting to consider the austrian rifle -- was 'wunderwaffe' of its time, picture, <1s/shot , and iirc 50+ shots on one bottle, with ~= energy to musket of the time
asciilifeform: folx who fill diving tanks, use these.
asciilifeform: can use electric compressor, as mircea_popescu's photo, but these are finnicky & expensive, need regular oiling
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform takes a while and very good quality mechanicals.
asciilifeform: takes a while tho.
asciilifeform: the interesting bit is that you can get the 300 atm by ~hand~
asciilifeform: this one takes ~300 atmosphere
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform truth be told ordinary air can get packed pretty tight before it becomes degenerate matter.
mircea_popescu: a man divided upon himself can not stand. let people looking for mockybot gaze upon mockycock, it's good for them.
asciilifeform: ( btw modern air rifle, not the break-open type but the refinement of the austrian 1700s concept, where you pump for hour to fill the bottle, is mighty impressive item, i have one here for pest control, readily punches hole in several wooden planks laid together )
mircea_popescu: but do not fall into the trap of "this is for engineering and this is for fucking and this is for..."
Mocky: mircea_popescu, it's not new just sitting unused. I'll use blog, yes. If I find a use for the alternate, will be ready to go
mircea_popescu: but usually with tiny pellets. this fired 50-100g sorta things.
asciilifeform: supersonic per se is not so difficult to achieve, ordinary air rifle gives routinely
mircea_popescu: i even saw ancient "invention", was pretty entertaining : barrel has holes cut, through which walls can fall in. as the projectile moves through barrel it clicks the supports walls fall behind it, leaving a chamber. low pressure (ordinary 50kg air compressor) resulting in common bullet shooting at supersonic speeds.
asciilifeform: expensive, but for same dough as the usg gigantic laser nonsense can get much bigger bang.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: giant artillery is a fertile field , imho ( take for instance the concept of evacuated barrel. impressive results even among basement aficionados with air rifles, in these )
mircea_popescu: use your blog, that's what you have it for.
mircea_popescu: Mocky need to identify with nickserv, they prolly put +r on ; why new domain i don't get it ?!
asciilifeform: mod6: plz add Mocky to #p voice
Mocky: I'm getting "#pizarro :Cannot send to nick/channel" so will just drop this here: I created a dir named 'wwwhabeeb' in my shared hosting account. can you set me up to have domain mockyhabeeb.com be fed from that?
mircea_popescu: make a lengthy light barrel, do most of the acceleration towards the end, loose less energy to ^5 rule.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform was this the shoot satellite guy ?
asciilifeform: ( canadian. pantsuit took contract on him, successfully )
a111: Logged on 2018-09-02 01:53 mircea_popescu: time to learn that there's a time to grease, if one aims to avoid anal rape lubed in own blood.
mircea_popescu: " he originally offered his services to the Byzantines, but emperor Constantine XI could not afford his high salary nor did he possess the materials necessary" <<->> http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-02#1846775 quite fucking EXACTLY. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: the fall of the pantsuit citadel depends on technology transfer. ending the bullshit one impregnable fortress at a time.
mircea_popescu would like to point out at this juncture that the fellow known as orban was in fact very not hungarian, but a transylvanian fellow. from brasov.
mircea_popescu: there's a lot of this in late byzantine artefactry, too, btw.
mircea_popescu: the thread goes on AND ON. recall the exploded power line ? or the papier mache heating element ?
asciilifeform: i recall a thread where mircea_popescu contracted a foundry to make a whipping fixture or what was it, because argentines can't make anyffing
mircea_popescu: this being the difference between us. i -- have tried. errything.
asciilifeform: ( tho, whoknows, perhaps grummann & lockheed make 50k usd titanium cocks... madeinusa!111 . i have not tried to buy. )
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform because the self-same emissaries hold ridiculous goange in the head about how usa is something other than the garbage heap everyone urinates upon.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-02 17:31 mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-02#1846877 << this is nothing. girl got sent (to major us metropolitan area) to scout for specific sex shop items. returned list of "best sex shops" in early stage. upon review of their "online store" it was discovered a) they are 100% cheap-ass white label crap, exactly indistinct from what douchebag would run and b) entirtely not representative of 1% of the stock of the brick and mortar store.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-02#1846913 << why wouldja send emissaries to usa to buy chinese plastic cocks. ( even i knew -- nothing else is sold there ) ☝︎
mircea_popescu: can't raise to the occasion.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform it was too short for me.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what happened at that bancomat ?
mircea_popescu: Mocky o btw, you absolutely gotta try wearing the gelabeya or w/e they call it there.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-01 00:24 trinque: ah got it. bank shenanigans never end.
Mocky: every time my little brother got really annoying!
Mocky: my grandma would always tell me my name means kindhearted friend/brother...
mircea_popescu: going DRRRRRRRINGGG / MEEEEEAOWWWW not so advisable tho.
mircea_popescu: there, the republic has equipped you with a very useful book in dealing with the locals.
Mocky: thx, this is quite exciting
BingoBoingo: Mocky: Congrats on making the decision to jump the fence
mircea_popescu: hanbot was it quite a thing or just a bit ?
hanbot: mircea_popescu hanbot also had a good chuckle when diana_coman's kiddo found the backseat stash: "i've found a thing!"
mircea_popescu: anyway, matches exactly my first encounter with the thing.
diana_coman: and one longish evening too
diana_coman: well, it was so good, we kept sipping it and then it would have been a pity to leave behind and then it's ugly to pack an opened bottle and so ...we finished it :P
diana_coman: ah, the rum diplomatico, YES!
BingoBoingo: <asciilifeform> it isn't any moar outrageous than the butane-filled refrigerator BingoBoingo found himself with << Well, butane is actually good refrigerant

a111: Logged on 2018-09-02 17:03 asciilifeform: ( oblig. emulated-mircea_popescu answers, 'why do you need to take a comp on airplanes! sit on throne, in beach, drink rum, instead' )
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-02#1846904 << ask diana_coman about that rum. ☝︎
a111: Logged on 2018-09-02 16:24 diana_coman: to me apple stuff is still essentially a fashion item and yes, usually that comes with insanity as far as I can tell
mircea_popescu: ie, problem is WAY the fuck worse than mere failure along the lines of http://trilema.com/2018/must-suck-to-be-one-of-you-average-guy-with-a-great-sense-of-humor-losers-seriously-now/#selection-91.829-95.1 ; they literally have given up on commerce as a going concern, and universally.
mircea_popescu: the argentinization of the united states is so far progressed, i literally can not distinguish between the two by now. they make the same 0 sales.
mircea_popescu: notwithstanding that universally "unexpected situation" is the subjective perception of "we utterly fucked up".
mircea_popescu: because average ustard actually perceives that a) limiting himself to his broke-ass, never-seen-money-in-life compatriots is not merely an acceptable business strategy, but legally mandatory and b) the correct response to "unexpected situation" is "nopenopenopenopenope".
mircea_popescu: they didn't merely lose the sale ; but specifically sov-style she was "asked to leave". ☟︎
mircea_popescu: girl was then sent on the premises, to explain that because they failed to have an online presence, either they let her photograph select items for her master or else they lose the sale.
a111: Logged on 2018-09-02 16:21 asciilifeform: in (mostly) unrelated lulz, recently asciilifeform found himself visiting several different crapple shops, and standing in a queue for hours, sov-style, simply to submit for repair a crapple lappy (2 yr old !) with swollen battery, whole thing looked like spoiled food tin
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-02#1846877 << this is nothing. girl got sent (to major us metropolitan area) to scout for specific sex shop items. returned list of "best sex shops" in early stage. upon review of their "online store" it was discovered a) they are 100% cheap-ass white label crap, exactly indistinct from what douchebag would run and b) entirtely not representative of 1% of the stock of the brick and mortar store. ☝︎☟︎
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-02#1846876 << moves the ratchet forward. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: and yes, i find it adds to lets make lappy.
mircea_popescu: and cuntoo ~installer~ on the 16GB ssd << yes.
lobbesbot: mircea_popescu: Sent 2 hours and 53 minutes ago: <Mocky_phone> my internet went down last night. helpful cable guy scheduled to show up on tuesday
asciilifeform: aanyway i'm off to unwind for a spell in the room where it's 1982 , bbl.
asciilifeform: ( oblig. emulated-mircea_popescu answers, 'why do you need to take a comp on airplanes! sit on throne, in beach, drink rum, instead' ) ☟︎
asciilifeform: or take the 'dollar store' quality kbd. already sop in all lappy.
asciilifeform: upstack -- folx who aint condemned to work with crapple artifacts, can laugh off the idiocies, but they spread like pestilence to other vendors, e.g. glossy lcd, glued-in battery, gpu soldered with balls that thermally cycle and guaranteed to come loose in 3-4 yrs, have already become ~ubiquitous in other portable boxen
asciilifeform: it isn't any moar outrageous than the butane-filled refrigerator BingoBoingo found himself with ☟︎
asciilifeform: hey, i suspect the caterpillar battery is inevitable : 'ecological!111'
asciilifeform: ( since mircea_popescu is asleep, i'ma have to put in placeholder for the oblig thread, [ m: 'you deserve this for working for a living, idjit' a: '...' ] )
asciilifeform: and it'll still be preferable to microshit.
asciilifeform: i can already picture it : 2y from nao, asciilifeform will be posting re crapple box where there's tank of poisonous brazilian caterpillars in place of battery, and they broke loose, and gotta stand in queue to have'em replaced, and meanwhile crawling up sleeves
diana_coman: the spikes idea sounds cool too, maybe suggest it
asciilifeform: ( i would say 'catches fire' is next, but then recalled that this is already not uncommon, and not merely in crapple machines )
asciilifeform: crapple has never not sucked, but the battery glue is imho a new low. gotta wonder what's next, maybe spikes will randomly emerge from the kbd
