KRS1: Yeah, such scam..for sure. Thanks for the heads up.
BingoBoingo: KRS1: The one hazard of just popping on channel and announcing the offer though are the scavangers and wannabe scamzors
KRS1: ya I wanted to try here first because I know most of you
Apocalyptic: like 5% of people use the orderbook now
Apocalyptic: you will have way way more offers if you come in the channel and state that
KRS1: i recognize some of the names there
KRS1: ya i've been watching the order book..thanks Apocalyptic
Apocalyptic: they trade with newly registered accounts
KRS1: there will be a time i'll be interested in quantity but not at the moment
Apocalyptic: KRS1, definitely go to #bitcoin-otc
BingoBoingo: KRS1: Some people I know from TF's CoinChat back before he/it were scam might be interested in small amounts, but I'll spread your offer around cautiously
KRS1: I should probably ask this in #bitcoin-otc, but would rather here since I know many of you..I'm looking to buy some amount of btc just to get a rating on wot. I had to get a new gpg key.
BingoBoingo: Oh, if only we were still in the patent medicine age. I prolly have just enough knowledge to be a more effective and more dangerous quack than that dude.
ozbot: Steve Jobs' Doctor Wants to Teach You the Formula for Long Life - Wired Science
pankkake: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2013/12/david-agus-rules-to-live-longer/all/ I guess the good news here is that al gore is next
BingoBoingo: Making the entirety of death happen instantaneously is probably impossible without resorting to something exotic like vaporization
BingoBoingo: mike_c: Basically every cell that does something visible on the macro scale (neurons and muscle cells) utilizes action potentials. Responding t sound means there are a lot of surviving neurons and muscle cells in communication... At least for a while.
mike_c: but action potential can't be responsible for responding to sound can it? that seems like a lot of brain function for a decapitated head
BingoBoingo: Pentobarbitol was only in the mix the the condemned's comfort.
BingoBoingo: mike_c: It happens. It's relate to remaining action potentials in cells (action potentials being the entire reason potasium chloride and another depolatizing neuromuscular blocker were the key components inducing death in classic three drug lethal injection)
mike_c: pankkake i find that hard to believe, but if true that is the creepiest thing ever.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: apparently the part where they were collapsed into chairs was the source of the discomfort. The lizard brain's desire to breath in such situations reportedly overrides the higher human element's ecstasy at all of that mu receptor agonism
ozbot: Guillotine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
asciilifeform: can't see how one might argue 'inhumane.' rather, the opposite.
BingoBoingo: A few paid for the experience more than once before succumbing
BingoBoingo: Oh, I've known plenty of them who did.
asciilifeform: in fact someone in your town is probably paying right now
asciilifeform: what the hell, some people would pay to die of opiate overdose
BingoBoingo: You'd be surprised the reflexes the body has to force you into what is commonly called the recovery position
BingoBoingo: Not really, the choking would force you awake.
BingoBoingo: pentobarbitol on its own would have lead to a similarly long death by asphyxiation because lungs in reality are awfully heavy when you prioritize sedation
BingoBoingo: pankkake: Well the two drugs they chose to replace pentobarbitol are perfectly adequate for replacing pentobarbitol. The thing is they replaced pentobarbitol and forgot about the rest of the cocktail.
pankkake: if you can feel guilty about it, should you do it in the first place?
pankkake: for the death penalty there is also the ridiculous trick where you don't really know if you are the killer or not
pankkake: I still don't understand the choice of the drugs, it seems there are better pentobarbital replacements; less "efficient" but you can work around that
Duffer1: just no one wants to clean that up
Duffer1: that's probably the only truly humane way to do it
Duffer1: ffs you're killing a guy, just destroy the brain as quickly as possible
Duffer1: ya all that pussyfooting around is stupid
BingoBoingo: The problem with exsanguination though is the state doesn't like looking like it commits violence anymore.
BingoBoingo: Exsaguination would probably be more humane though
BingoBoingo: They just took away for maybe 25 cents of potassium chloride which rapidly induces asystole by depolarising all of the cardiac muscle.
BingoBoingo: pankkake: That part they replaced more than adequately with the new drugs.
pankkake: "because of the unavailability of Pentobarbital" clearly those guys haven't heard of black markets!
Duffer1: if a state's going to kill someone shouldn't there be a shoot him in the head backup plan for fuckups like this
Duffer1: imo the problem was the death lasting 15 minutes :P
BingoBoingo: The problem is the drug that made things quick and cheap (Potassium Chloride) is the one they are skipping.
BingoBoingo: Duffer1: Not that fucked up though. How many people OD on heroin?
Duffer1: ya 15 minutes to die
BingoBoingo: I've been thinking too much about Justice today http://www.thedrinkingrecord.com/2014/01/16/ohio-surrenders-claims-to-moral-authority/
mod6: ok looks to be werkin now
Apocalyptic: when did ever Hearn did that ?
Apocalyptic: "Notably, it did cite Hearn’s work on the use of bitcoin for managing contracts and securitized assets"
Apocalyptic: thanks for the link rattaTATtatatata
mod6: I suppose this is the problem: https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/24239

KRS1: Chatter in the investment group I belong includes Wells Fargo "high profile" team meeting for an internal opinion on Bitcon. Word is that it is very positive so far.
nubbins`: no doubt one of those shitheads trying to sell a cruise
nubbins`: ah, haha, nevermind. got the spacing wrong. it was from florida
nubbins`: odd, i just missed a telephone call from romania
kakobrekla: guess the author
kakobrekla: >When i was buying i knew how many shares there were. We dont know that anymore.
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM100] [PAID] 2.98163252 BTC to 326`218 shares, 914 satoshi per share
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] [PAID] 15.87066425 BTC to 16`495 shares, 96215 satoshi per share
nubbins`: "hot cinnamon" is maybe my least favourite flavour in the world
jcpham: i expected tits
ozbot: Octopus – China: The Council Does Not Plan to Accept Bitcoin | I Love BTC Hot News
KRS1: My late night 'nip' has been a cinnamon whisky lately. Quite interesting and soothing. Its Canadian and Nubbins get a +1 for that; its called Fireball.
KRS1: It blows my mind how perfectly timed this was. Just who is this Satoshi guy anyway..
KRS1: Considering the political and economic climate, its almost as if the timing of bitcoin is god-like.
deego: mircea_popescu: true, true :)
mircea_popescu: can't possibly be all that young and all that beardy.
mircea_popescu: http://trilema.com/wp-content/themes/trilema/images/bg_apr2011.jpg there, that's recent
truffles: nothing relating to emotional states hmm
mircea_popescu: possibly cause you were going by trilema header pics which are mostly me in my 20s ?
Apocalyptic: mircea_popescu, thought you were much younger somehow
mircea_popescu: it makes sense if you think about it, people are but temporary. words are forever.
mircea_popescu: deego because we'd rather shit on people than shit on words.
KRS1: Sun is starting to come up on the east coast of the U.S. time for some fresh air and a cigarette.
truffles: i did imply that the nerd in u would "take some sweat" research
KRS1: I think thats all it was.
KRS1: He said what was on his mind. Your definition of nerd was incorrect. <mircea_popescu> being what you call a nerd takes some sweat.
KRS1: I wasn't being upset about being called a nerd yesterday. I think mircea was
Apocalyptic: truffles, do you think of yourself as a nerd ?
KRS1: re·tard·ed riˈtärdid/Submit adjective 1. less advanced in mental, physical, or social development than is usual for one's age.
deego: cripple->handicapped->special needs. But, soon, the latest comes to be regarded as insulting..
truffles: im not that concerned just saying
KRS1: Is the term "retarded" all that bad?
Apocalyptic: I've heard in some case in US you can't just say blind anymore, you have to stay visually challenged now
deego: Apocalyptic: heh, I think challenged and special have become pejorative as well :)
deego: zomg! How dare you? How would you like it someone called your son that!? Why not use "intellectually different"?
KRS1: I'm not very polically correct. I might have to work on that this year too, but then again it doesn't bother me. Retards are known as mentally handicapped these days.
KRS1: Perhabs a merging of fuckoffs and retards; not to regard the retarded community in any derogatory manner, but instead to give those who should know better the same sub 70 i.q. labelling.
truffles: if u use that word though hmmm
KRS1: I love that word 'fucktards'. Officially adding it to my vocabulary for 2014.
davout: Apocalyptic: of course, the observation you make depends as much on what you observe than it depends on from where you observe it
truffles: what u enjoy doing shouldnt be a waste though
Apocalyptic: maybe in a few years I will have that same comment though
Apocalyptic: honestly i think I don't that much now
Apocalyptic: heh, look who's talking
