mircea_popescu: like a contemporary fable. really, the WOLF did that ? a speaking wolf ? wow!
mircea_popescu: also, for the amateur entomologists : the body of work published by the us agitprop wrt to vladislav surkov during the past five years is a splendid mirror to interpret the decaying empire itself. all that hero worship, all that fake fear that "someone", obviously "somewhere far away" may be you know, mixing democratic rhetoric with undemocratic intent, creating a "post truth" world and generally constructing a menacing unrea
diana_coman: eh, on the other hand he might need to train in between claims seeing how his skill is not that high yet so a trip back to town anyway
mircea_popescu: there's ... a lot of depth to it see ? hehe.
shinohai: anywho is I find a way to contact them I'll hit you up if you don't mind signing a message from that addy.
shinohai: They could at least include a sigaint address or something since already on tor
mircea_popescu: well, if you buy by the barrel you should in principle get a barrel.
mircea_popescu: just going by it generally. esltards pretend whiskey to be an actual drink (it utterly is not, fruit alcohol is the only stuff worth drinking), and if we grant that faulty premise then 40 bucks for a quart of flawless whiskey compares favourably with a middle of the road cognac going more in the 100-200 range. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: You'd be surprised. One of those things with quite a bit of variation depending on the particular time and liquor store.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo 40 bucks a bottle is actually pretty great price for the merchandise i'd say
phf: there's a joke in a su commedy set in 16th century russia, where a character is listing dishes at a lavish feast, black caviar in a giant container, red caviar in a smaller plate, and "caviar from foreign lands, eggplant caviar" barely a spoonful. i sort of always assumed because of that movie that at some point eggplants were near impossible to source around where the term "eggplant caviar" originated
phf: interestingly french call baba ganoush caviar d'aubergine a la libanaise
phf: mircea_popescu: oh it's great as a zakuska, i was just thinking that i should make some "eggplant caviar" (no idea what the proper translation is)
mircea_popescu: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-29#1560012 << they're also in the fucking majority. it seems ridiculous enough here, but they're also the font of nonsense a la "statutory rape" etc. ☝︎
BingoBoingo: phf: trinque is right. Don't think of them as potatoes. Think of them as a sort of underground squash.
trinque: you can throw in a chopped up green apple too
BingoBoingo: Well depends on the person? There's a bunch of stuff there that could be variably toxic depending on the specific person. Probably less allergy and more varying vulnerability to poison.
trinque: phf: they're good with something savory on 'em, say a fried egg and some sausage
BingoBoingo drives by a field of cultivated horse radish with regularity
ben_vulpes: hey i just said "PROCURE ME A DIVERSITY OF TUBER"
BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Because they are compeltely different things. White potatoes are a nightshade tuber and sweet potatoes are a morning glory tuber.
ben_vulpes: it was a tight squeeze
ben_vulpes: i was trying to work a cucking in
ben_vulpes: local club has a great story about a noob slamming a brand new focus into a rock wall playing with this
ben_vulpes: so in other related plastics, ford is shipping a focus with "drift mode"
mircea_popescu: ah yes, but on gravel! ro standard gravel has this 1cm ish shards thing, it's a horror.
mircea_popescu: which consisted of accelerating and then steer-locking the car in a gravel pit.
mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes it may interest you to know i first met / picked out / hired my best driver ever when he was 17 and was doing "spinnies" with a group of similarly minded idiots
mircea_popescu: i wonder if they actually had a hood engineer sit around thinking about this
ben_vulpes: schedule is a matter of personal taste
mircea_popescu: there IS such a thing as engineering specifications!
ben_vulpes: more like a suspension of solution
ben_vulpes: i think it's a mechanical jam, possibly the glass is now out of true
BingoBoingo: It's only time before he finds a boyfriend with "frame" to bring home.
BingoBoingo: Motherfucker *wants* to get cuck'd by a couple bits of plastic
BingoBoingo: And lol http://qntra.net/2016/10/what-is-the-difference-between-bill-clinton-and-bill-cosby-a-qntest-with-bitcoin-prizes/#comment-76680
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform empire is really dedicated to "not a sperm is wasted". all teh holes gotta be always kept.
BingoBoingo: Perhaps now that the slash is done next entry should take a more traditional fanfic turn.
BingoBoingo not sure if the lack of discussion on the fanfic is a good or bad thing.
asciilifeform: the linked alt also introduces a backbreaking pseudomathematical turd, similar to the one discussed in the homomorphism thread a while back
asciilifeform: https://archive.is/7cG8b << lulzy, they did indeed bake a new ethereum.
pete_dushenski: http://archive.is/vAoKM << relevant to latest crapbook pro news. basically a variant of 'living in a post-steve world' from contravex
pete_dushenski: it's there so chances are it was a cache hold-up and you just need to refresh the page to see it.
BingoBoingo worries he might have gone a bit light on the gore.
pete_dushenski: BingoBoingo: http://qntra.net/2016/10/what-is-the-difference-between-bill-clinton-and-bill-cosby-a-qntest-with-bitcoin-prizes/#comment-76521 << my cultural contribution for the week. it's what i could muster.
pete_dushenski: https://sourceable.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/timber-skyscraper-chicago.jpg << in other wood without condoms, a proposed 80-story TIMBER skyscraper in chiraq
BingoBoingo: pete_dushenski: But it is for a good cause! The cultural output of the Republic is a demonstration of Republican supremacy!
pete_dushenski: so, they don't. it's a match made in heaven.
pete_dushenski: i dun even think i ever HEARD of a dude getting lid with a dome on. it'd be like fucking an earhole or something.
a111: Logged on 2016-10-28 17:24 mircea_popescu: i suppose i'm the weirdest person alive then a) never had sex without a condom ; b) never had my cock sucked with a condom.
BingoBoingo: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-28#1559853 << There's 3 days left until the weens are hallowed. Who else other than diana_coman and danielpbarron has stories? Or at a minimum speculums of where I'm taking Elliot and James. ☝︎
mircea_popescu: for the record : proposing that hillary being elected would be "a victory for women" is entirely like imagining the la lakers winning a game is exercise for everyone in los angeles.
shinohai: I used that as basis for my Qntest submission: http://qntra.net/2016/10/what-is-the-difference-between-bill-clinton-and-bill-cosby-a-qntest-with-bitcoin-prizes/#comment-76612
BingoBoingo: "As it happens, some older Subaru models have ignition keys that sometimes work in any number of other Subaru vehicles. The car the “thief” was looking for was sitting a block away the entire time."
BingoBoingo: My the goings on in the world. What a week to be celebrating continuous sobriety! And I haven't even had my cake yet!
mircea_popescu: i'm sorry, i wanna rephrase that. because they really meant anything other than "you're this dubiously sexed derp who's going to end up with a buttfulla dick because the other dude said so."
BingoBoingo: lol trinque "On the plus side I'm not technically a virgin anymore I guess. On the con side everybody who called me a faggot in online video games is now technically right"
BingoBoingo: When in doubt sexual novelty on the internet is either Obeast or a 48 year old plumber wearing panties
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo that these exist and are distinguishable from fag hags in the field i knew before. then it dawned on me what a field day it must be in the days of reddit etc.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: like this? https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/m0hyq/iama_34_year_old_woman_with_a_virgin_fetish/
trinque will be lost in this lulzmine for a bit
jhvh1: shinohai: Error: "tyvm" is not a valid command.
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo "i'm a woman that only fucks virgins ama" too.
mircea_popescu: other than the shocking fact that apparently this isn't normal, BingoBoingo 's link also provides a lead to what apparently is a ~community~ based on... not having sex against one's will ? with identity issues and a word for "normies" and everything ?
mircea_popescu: i suppose i'm the weirdest person alive then a) never had sex without a condom ; b) never had my cock sucked with a condom. ☟︎
BingoBoingo: Getting one's dick sucked not a problem. Sucking the dick, problem.
mircea_popescu: who the fuck does blowjobs with a condom anyway ?!
a111: Logged on 2016-10-28 15:49 trinque: I guess it is, from a perspective
shinohai: BingoBoingo: is there a fph thread about this?
BingoBoingo: Right, but just imagine how big of a UV flash you could trigger with it. Self disinfecting showers, etc.
asciilifeform: 'This is an unusual and insanely fast capacitor. Ok, a gross overkill, full foil discharge type. The capacitor is rated at 3000V and 0.15uF. It was originally intended to go to a... Give you three guesses and you'll probably hit the nail on the head in the first guess. Anyway it is super small, light weight, 100% reliable, and indefinitely repeatable in the 2500V range. Would be great for large flashlamp triggering or large KDP q-sw
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-10-28#1559724 << gold. q: 'i want a deterministic system that behaves securely.' a: 'i know! let's make a dogvomit mold simulator!' ☝︎
pete_dushenski: ""Interestingly, neural networks can also learn what to encrypt in order to achieve a desired secrecy property while maximizing utility. Thus, when we wish to prevent an adversary from seeing a fragment of a plaintext, or from estimating a function of the plaintext, encryption can be selective, hiding the plaintext only partly." <<
asciilifeform: pete_dushenski: you can always sell one of your old bugatis, and buy a few colouredge!1111
pete_dushenski: phf: fair enough. i actually use acd+eizo(prosumer) combo at home. it's definitely a minefield but i'm very much content with the ev2455 or whatever its called.
trinque: I guess it is, from a perspective ☟︎
phf: pete_dushenski: i looked at eizos, but it's another minefield. they seem to have a "prosumer" line, that's the same trash you get elsewhere. and then there's pro line that's 2k+, but you can't just judge by the price. gotta know what you're doing. hence hunting for apple cinemas, i know they worked well for me in the past.
phf: ebay ebay ebay, and once the supplies are gone tmsr is going to have a finaly computing solution figured out
phf: i have two but i want to replace my office monitor, it's a giant dell and it's giving me a headache
phf: ha, i'm at this moment trying to find a couple of matte apple cinema displays. they seem to have completely disappeared from ebay/amazon/... (they've been discontinued for a while now)
trinque: also isn't this the thing with a chip IN THE CABLE?!
asciilifeform: i have a similar display here, it is barely adequate.
mircea_popescu: hey, petty slavery is coming back in a big way.
asciilifeform: recall how a sitting (!) 'scotus' judge proclaimed that a mr t win is 'unthinkable catastrophe' ?
mircea_popescu: it's very funny to me how the attempts at "sanitizing" "domestic terrorism" work. EVERY SINGLE MENTION OF VOTER FRAUD MUST BE TRAILED BY A STATEMENT OF HOW SUCH IS VERY RARE!!11
BingoBoingo: Anyways the "polls" for some reason keep oscillating. In Missouri Greitens went from a double digit deficit to 2 points. Who knew what hell the death of the landline phone would really bring?
shinohai: Maybe start of a good week then.
BingoBoingo: shinohai: As you can see by the byline this is opening piece of a new day.
shinohai: It's been a good day for Qntra
mircea_popescu: lol rogue state getting a little frazzled ?
asciilifeform: and like complete idiot i was crawling around inside laser cabinet with a motherfucking obgyn mirror, looking for crud in the beam path..
mircea_popescu: same old bullshit. a is above b BECAUSE A IS ABOVE B. not because "a asks more of himself". it's an ontological matter, naught else, and it is not open to technologizing.
mod6: you ever think about running a pr0nsite?
trinque: same piece of shit operating system on it they've been turd-polishing for a decade
BingoBoingo: It's a joke contest not fanfic. Even with far lower prize attract interest because it seems like far less work.
BingoBoingo: SIX!!! http://qntra.net/2016/10/what-is-the-difference-between-bill-clinton-and-bill-cosby-a-qntest-with-bitcoin-prizes/#comment-76475

BingoBoingo: Let's come together as a skewl.
shinohai: You must make a pic of this the trilema header
mircea_popescu: other things i've done today : girl bought some rubber doodads with a vacuum sucker at one end and a clasp at other end, i've been wearing them attached to forehead like horns.
