ben_vulpes: "o i see you have
a target, i'll just swizzle these files around and source-to-source transform all these other files"
ben_vulpes: no but i also don't call that which isn't
a plinth
a plinth
ben_vulpes: you don't even have
a steel work table outside?!
a111: Logged on 2016-10-31 17:27 asciilifeform: i always wondered if the very sad infrastructure in washington,
a kind of frozen-in-time 1970s theme park, is at least partly on account of the expectation that anthill will be leveled 'any day'
ben_vulpes: if yer really strapped for cash, get
a propane "poofer" and
a laser thermometer.
ben_vulpes: get
a temperature controllable oven, start with soft steel and harden it per the kindergarten heat treatment tables
ben_vulpes: and you're doing this with
a laser why?
mod6: It's not
a huge leap to get there anyway.
mod6: Yeah, some of these could be
a bit reviewed/reorg'd
BingoBoingo: Make Great Great Again: "You’re hardly irresponsible with your funds. You’re saving
a decent sum of money and working on paying down debt. As for your company: It sounds like it won’t be
a lifetime job. You can easily permit yourself the spending on your cat." <<
https://archive.is/thWwo BingoBoingo: Anyways Make Great, Great Again.
A bunch of hillary supporters burned
a black church and wrote "Vote Trump" on it to mobilize the black vote.
BingoBoingo: Just so long as
a plot kept Elliot's will from making him an hero.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes cognac, ie the first distilled spirit, is about half
a millenium old by now.
mircea_popescu: (note that medieval beer has no hops, as
a result doesn't keep, it's
a lot closer to braga than what passes for beer today)
mircea_popescu: would you say
a woman that also fucks plastic isn't heterosexual ?
mircea_popescu: well, the notion that gayness is incompatible with that IS very much
a late 1800s thing.
ben_vulpes: and you'll say that my cursory research finding that he slept with
a few ladies to be entirely wrong?
ben_vulpes: i guess the argument kinda falls apart on 'historic' grounds, 'gayness' not being much of
a thing pre late 1800s
BingoBoingo: <thestringpuller> people still use okcupid now that tindr exists? << mp doesn't have
a guide to beating tindr
mircea_popescu: that it doesn't happen all the time, or within
a short enough interval doesn't change the fact that it's the one mode of industry.
mircea_popescu: the way it works is, two chunks of hardware that have to be interfaced are briefly interfaced by biofilm, until
a proper solution is put in place.
hanbot: well in the same manner as'd be
a museum of vinyl siding, sure.
scriba: Logged on 2016-11-02: [15:46:51] <mircea_popescu> the cuban wiki entry is fucking hysterical. lengthy discussion of the shitty jobs the dork did in college. how come none of these go "and then he took rhetorics with elena dragos and was the only one to get
a b in any of her classes that decade"
a111: Logged on 2014-05-29 17:55 asciilifeform: i really can't fathom the purpose of buying
a mystery meat hardware rng. if you're willing to eat mystery meat, why not use the vlsi turd found in current cpu?
mircea_popescu: there is
a thin sliver of stuff your training is useful for ; but most accidents, including with planes, including with controlled flight into terrain, come from not having read the book.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-02 17:25 asciilifeform: PeterL: would you fly as passenger in
a mig that i offer you
a ride in after reading 'how to mig' b0000k by, say, mthreat ?
thestringpuller: looking through my research there doesn't seem to be
a conclusion to hardware RNG thread
PeterL: it could work with
a flow cell, which would be cool for monitoring
a process, but the low resolution would make it very bad for identification work
PeterL: basically it was like
a 100 MHz, I only use 500 and up
PeterL: at my previous employer there was an equipment showcase, bunch of vendors showing off new stuff, one guy brought
a shoebox sized nmr, blew my mind
a bit
mircea_popescu: but this technology is 50 years away, idiots are too busy making "3d guns" out of the practical equivalent of
a large plastic coathanger injector and other stencils.

a purpose, just, electricity is all he's got besides "the power of the soviets", and while neither can fill
a hand before pissing in it would, nevertheless at least electricity DOES SOMETHING.
mircea_popescu: (in some ind processes, the "was there
a spark" is mn dollar question post disaster)

a tube with
a all the organic compounds you can think dilute in the same solvent, run electrictity through it, congrats you have some lightly chlorinated toilet water.
a111: Logged on 2016-11-02 17:21 PeterL: so we need
a sort of "frozen" archive of "how to make X, which you need to make Y", sort of like how trb has frozen deps

a woman, I don't think I would trust the purity of something made in somebodies garage to not have dangerous impurities
PeterL: I've never made
a multi-stage rocket, but me and my kids made
a rocket out of
a soda bottle and powered it with isopropanol, that was pretty fun
thestringpuller: which ironically in th elocale legend
a farmer launched
a two stage rocket into the sea from here
thestringpuller: this is exactly why guys in suits show up to your front door if you launch
a multistage "model rocket" from your back yard
PeterL: ben_vulpes wants
a 'rpp'? rocket-propelled projectile?
ben_vulpes: the 'g' of grenade is
a shameful waste of mass budget imho.
ben_vulpes: trade the explosive for
a bit of mass and
a bit more propellant.
PeterL: I mean, not specifically wikipedia, just there are
a lot of topics that each connect to one another
PeterL: so we need
a sort of "frozen" archive of "how to make X, which you need to make Y", sort of like how trb has frozen deps
☟︎ PeterL: have you ever done separations of organics trying to get
a very low percentage product into something usable?
PeterL: it would still be much easier to generate
a synthetic pathway from what is available
PeterL: not
a very selective way of doing things though
phf: used to be one of the first image hits for "dmt synthesis",
a screenshot of
a chanboard poast of making dmta "out of household objects"
☟︎ PeterL: I guess if you are looking for
a DIY abortion, impurities would be low on your scale of things to worry about
PeterL: If I were
a woman, I don't think I would trust the purity of something made in somebodies garage to not have dangerous impurities
☟︎ mircea_popescu: anyway, it's directly evident the most rabid of libertards realised clinton ain't got it ; and are in their grief dealing mode. pronouncements that "the election is rigged" (phrased, of course, as "this was an unedifying year" blabla), assurances that "whoever wins will be
a single term president" as if that fixes anything ; even
a pretense that putin will take advantage of trump. specifically. as if
a) it isn't in the nature
