jurov: fuck these blow stamps... they not just break character but completely mess up time perception, too.
jurov: and there really still were 020s till yest... so i'm not so much behind times as i thought upon first moment

Perlboy: and unsustainable too
KRS-: you think ltc is getting ready to blast off?
Perlboy: ltc... total powder keg it's turned into.
Perlboy: i tell you a bubble right now.
Perlboy: or be ready to halve your cash when u get caught out
Perlboy: you'd either have to be long term (which is unlikely if you just jumped in and are suddenly buying)
Perlboy: just saying if you were new to it all and actually looked at the charts
Perlboy: based on that if we get to 500 going below $100 on correct seems unlikely.

ozbot: Creedence Clearwater Revival - Bad Moon Rising (Live The Johnny Cash TV Show 1969).avi - YouTube
KRS-: I think its cool we use our heft against human rights violations but on the other hand it sucks my government is disregarding basic rights.
KRS-: I'm ashamed of what our country has come to.. we stood for some really good things and worthy causes (and still do afaik).
BingoBoingo: KRS-: Well since the first president Roosevelt and the Great white fleet presidents have been testing the limits of that.
KRS-: the prez can only mobilize 10K troops without declaring war
BingoBoingo: It's also the matter of the US has on armed gang then has popular elections between two parties the armed gang finds equally unobjectionable to its causes
mircea_popescu: intelligent men and women don't want the job.
KRS-: cant believe he's the best we could come up with..of all the intelligent ment
KRS-: Looks like a weapon to compete with our Thompsons

mircea_popescu: ;;google drone strike double tap
KRS-: where did you get that from bingoboingo
mircea_popescu: check that shit out. apparently the germans salvaged the ppsh!
BingoBoingo: Well the most disturbing thing I find about drone strikes now is Obama saw the suicide bomber tactic of the double tap where a second weapon hit first responders and decided "That's cool we will start doing that shit too nao"
KRS-: that particular assassination (drone strike) should never have happened..now additional lives will be lost without more peace talks
mircea_popescu: if the towelheads were your average supermarket cashier from ohio at least.
KRS-: i bet they're afraid most of the time to strap on their sandals and leave their huts
KRS-: could you imagine the terror drones puts in those towelheads
KRS-: something awful is good too
mircea_popescu: i wonder if i'm the only one who reads appaling crud like http://www.huffingtonpost.com/brian-glyn-williams/the-killing-of-hakimullah_b_4225444.html and thinks of the fakir of ipi.
BingoBoingo: At least that's what every "Day in the life of an IRL Flight Sim Pro" confessional story says
BingoBoingo: Probably quite a few. A few years ago there were stories about how Green Berets were growing beards and dressing like locals to not get shot in more remote areas of Afghanistan. I wonder how many drone operators seeing armed men of military age... Well this is plaintext...
asciilifeform: gotta wonder, how many 'own goals' this scored.
BingoBoingo: Well they still use SAVILLE for voice transmissions. If the guns themselves are diddled into non-functionality Suite A probably is too, so leave the radios
asciilifeform: "the little black rifle" which is useless to our cause!" ☟︎
asciilifeform: exception to the rule. It stated that all equipment was to be picked up with the exception of
asciilifeform: police the battle fields for usable equipment. This document however, had one telling
asciilifeform: "The VC used this recovered equipment to equip there own rather meager supplies as would any good guerilla force. The intercepted document reinforced this practice, exhorting the VC troops to
asciilifeform: the one that would go full auto if you dropped it.
mircea_popescu: is the ppsh the one where they had to pool the cartridges for the entire regiment and then sort them by size ?
asciilifeform: or americans in vietnam, clubbing the enemy with jammed m16 and take his rifle.
mircea_popescu: it was like "every destroyed t34 is a sad loss" sort of thing.
asciilifeform: just like russians would club a german with 'ppsh' and take his schmeisser...
mircea_popescu: and then use that.
mircea_popescu: it was dearly beloved historically by romanians. the mo of the romanian army (which incidentally was one of the problems of leningrad) was to use the shitty czech skodas they had to force the russian crew out of a t34
asciilifeform: nobody cancelled slipped tracks.
mircea_popescu: also how to fix tracks
mircea_popescu: no no, how to pilot a tank w/o a shaft
asciilifeform: while inside? or target practice.
benkay: fuck that place
mircea_popescu: there are 34s used to train teh nato troops of romania.
asciilifeform: betcha there are still '34s puttering around pakistan or some other pesthole.
mircea_popescu: which incidentally aren't more famous than the ak47s only because they were too expensive for average people
asciilifeform: here in the 'civilized' u.s. they'll do it 'humanely.' pay your ransom and get out, don't come back. like in (early) GDR.
mircea_popescu: he had once seen the inside of a t34 fuel tank
mircea_popescu: but generally, the reason joe e jew couldn't go to israel was that 20 eyars prior during his conscription
asciilifeform: that was more of a 'fuck, we won't let all the phd's out simultaneously'
asciilifeform: (knew too much. non-exportable. physicists, etc)
mircea_popescu: it reminds one of the "state secrets" thing.
asciilifeform: only part that surprised me was the $50k. might as well 'owe parking fine? no passport.'
mircea_popescu: Those “other purposes” have come to include a little-known amendment recently introduced by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that would allow the State Department to revoke, deny or limit passports for anyone the Internal Revenue Service certifies as having “a seriously delinquent tax debt in an amount in excess of $50,000.”
asciilifeform: or the electric bill didn't make its way into the nth 5-year plan...
BingoBoingo: Knc machines continuing to burn out? Block erupters and ASICMiner quitting?
asciilifeform: lemmings from the last wave of asicism tossing their miners in the skip in the wake of the middle kingdom's Great Wall of ASIC?
BingoBoingo: It's still generating the first keypair...
BingoBoingo: So... in other news NetBSD has their own GPG like program called NetPG. Built on the Mac SE/30
mircea_popescu: anyway, for the first time in many weeks the diff is flagging ☟︎
mircea_popescu: that thing'd kick ass.
