asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-30#1663357 << helo, unlike in the movies, is pretty hard for uninitiated folx to lift : ground effect is a bitch, gotta work the cyclic, the collective, the pedals, in sync properly☝︎
asciilifeform: ( and iirc folx who transport corpses for a living, also record that the latter are considerably more difficult to move than the living )
asciilifeform: i suspect that people -- ~are~ easier to lift than dead crate.
asciilifeform: those who met asciilifeform at c2/c3 know that he is not mistakeable for circus lifter . but ftr can happily lift & carry 75kg pet.
asciilifeform: moar fun than with dumb old iron, neh.
asciilifeform: massive 'circus' strong man practicing by lifting smallest d00d etc.
asciilifeform: there is a related legend that, at one time exercise weights were forbidden in new york prison. inmates then began to use ~each other~ for weights
asciilifeform: but chick is imho by far easiest 70kg!
asciilifeform: and ftr 70kgs afaik gives 0 trouble to a healthy d00d, whether in chick or knapsack or comp (e.g. my lispm)
asciilifeform: i dunno re mircea_popescu's barbell , but mine doesn't have hands and help the lifter by hanging on !11
asciilifeform: this is also a good time to remind fols, THIS ^^ is the kind of thing 'rng testing' shines in, picking up misconfiguration/catastrophic os retardation/similar
asciilifeform: misbauding will typically looks like this to naked eye.
asciilifeform: ( on other hand there is some variation in tastes : e.g. it seems to asciilifeform that he likes gurlz with fully 2x the live mass of the ones in mircea_popescu's photos, for instance )
asciilifeform: cn folx are, overall, bright enough, i suspect that at some point they will wake up to the fact that they do not in fact need the euro/usa schmucks for anything
asciilifeform: fixed by exporting excess biomass the 1st time, by shredding with artillery 2nd
asciilifeform: density per se isn't interesting, but rather density vs carrying capacity. and iirc europe was pretty 'full', by this metric, in the 18th c
asciilifeform: in point of fact there's plenty of 'normal' things asciilifeform does not do, because he does not expect to live long enough to make use of'em
asciilifeform: dunno that all of the publicized 'corruption' trials have this trivial explanation, 'didn't pass the bakshish up the chain'
asciilifeform: afaik in cn source is verymuch 'reviewable' once d00d falls into Official disgrace with pekin.
asciilifeform: (and everybody else is simply screwing around in microshit 'excel'.)
asciilifeform: if contemplating 'who is actual country' based solely on where the yet-untungstenated physical au lives, possibly only cn is now 'country'.
asciilifeform: no word so far on what the brits will do when they discover that the 'sticker prices' for the golden toilets are a work of '2 old jews and their painting' fiction , and ~worthless on market☟︎
asciilifeform: esp that of idiot 'oligarchs' from ru who thought that they could happily live to old age in the enemy's camp
asciilifeform: there may be other bsd folx , gritting teeth
asciilifeform: but if mod6 comes up with a recipe, i would like to include it in the manual.
asciilifeform: FG transmits at 115200,1,noparity, and this is readily verifiable by anyone with an oscilloscope and eyes, or with linux box, or dos box. i will not be taking responsibility for every broken os on the planet.
asciilifeform: ... or i could let the bsd aficionados take on this chore.
asciilifeform: though it ~does~ have a serial port , on the docking cradle (it's a 'toshiba libretto'), and perhaps i could dust it off
asciilifeform does not know, because his only openbsd box has a couplea cm of dust on it, and also lacks usb ports
asciilifeform: i encountered this nonsense when i built my very first prototype rng, iirc mircea_popescu even turned the resulting dialogue into a whole post on his www
asciilifeform: ( because certain octets no longer appear )
asciilifeform: and the output is unusable because now skewed
asciilifeform: and hah, i think we nailed the problem pete_dushenski had
asciilifeform: however if your system fails to set 115200 baud ( and on every box i have here, it is the default baud rate, HOWEVER you MUST turn off flow control )
