asciilifeform: plastic reinforced with, e.g., al, internally, can

asciilifeform: not because steel endures in water ( wouldn't for a week, without plastic paint )

asciilifeform: 'maersk' et al are of steel because mass of containers

asciilifeform: can change it

asciilifeform: NO plastic devised,

asciilifeform: and that necessarily znO

asciilifeform: how about mircea_popescu's mental habit of believing that the gods themselves made the sea as a toy for the rich,

asciilifeform: sometimes 'pay so much' simply because this leap not yet made in $domain.

asciilifeform: aluminum going from preciousmetal to dirt

asciilifeform: recall story of bauxite ?

asciilifeform: bought, bought, and therefore toilet MUST be gold

asciilifeform: has mircea_popescu ever built so much as a dog house with own hands?

asciilifeform: detension with al rods, ferroconcrete style. no cracks.

asciilifeform: of any reasonable size

asciilifeform: boat

asciilifeform: also i did not specify which laser. point is that it does not take '100 men, for years'

asciilifeform: it doesn't hurt to do yer homework

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu:

asciilifeform: teflonated, mir

asciilifeform: aerated.

asciilifeform: because rust

asciilifeform: 'what i say 3 times is true', classic mircea_popescu

asciilifeform: fact : boat != wood, and din have to cut by hand.

asciilifeform: saying dun make it so.

asciilifeform: if this is an argument, bottle is a boat

asciilifeform: or keep books dry.

asciilifeform: jurov: trololol

asciilifeform: crypto. QED

asciilifeform: same.

asciilifeform: lolneeds, if it ever caught fire, poseidon could not put it out.

asciilifeform: strictly.

asciilifeform: not cheap because lizards pocket the cost diff

asciilifeform: jurov -- i live in a mostly plastic house..

asciilifeform: unsinkable.

asciilifeform: and -- floats.

asciilifeform: cuts with laser economically.

asciilifeform: instead of abs.

asciilifeform: the wood that a proper boat supposedly 'must' be made of.

asciilifeform: golden toilet people.

asciilifeform: they're ridiculous.

asciilifeform: at the veblenwood folx? yes i can.

asciilifeform: all you gotta do is to piss on 'best practice'.

asciilifeform: point is, i can and do routinely make, with own hands, items otherwise thought to be 'megabux, megawatt' ( per http://btcbase.org/log/2017-02-19#1615434 ) ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-13#1655405 << ☝︎

asciilifeform: aaactually

asciilifeform: can buy by the tonne.

asciilifeform: join with epoxy.

asciilifeform: as for epoxy, it is same one as in everybody's toolbox.

asciilifeform: abs is ~indestructible.

asciilifeform: as substitute for idiot veblenwood.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i can get plastic panels from foundry.

asciilifeform: there are idiots anywhere.

asciilifeform: for all i know, it's the american expats, who do it

asciilifeform: this in re 'what happens when you use banks'

asciilifeform: in other lulz, in greece, https://archive.is/lLLfT >> '...the tax authorities will be able to issue online confiscation notices and immediately get their hands on the contents of safe deposit boxes, confiscating cash, precious stones, jewelry and so on. They will also be able to confiscate shares and other securities.'

asciilifeform: at least several months, i think

asciilifeform: unrelatedly, i have nfi who trb node 208.94.240.42 belongs to, but it's been stuck in the 300,000s for ~ages~

asciilifeform: 'palaver'

asciilifeform: ( the one on crapple, is known offender )

asciilifeform: folx, don't use nonautoslicing irctrons.

asciilifeform: it got snipped.

asciilifeform: missing in my log

asciilifeform: entirely function of something like 700 bytes of userland.

asciilifeform: microshit's rng has (as of xp3) 0 hardware component.

asciilifeform: i've been exploring subj as part of the shitoshi question.

asciilifeform: ( after this, we can plug in gpg-on-winblowsrng and enumerate the set, then bust these... )

asciilifeform: who won't be killed in any other way.

asciilifeform: theoretically this set will include some (largeprime)*(largeprime) folx.

asciilifeform: there is a variant where you nail large-factored N, where p*q=n and p-1 or q-1 have small factors.

asciilifeform: more interestingly,

asciilifeform: it's in the pipeline.

asciilifeform: all them folx who skimped on 'test p-1 and q-1'

asciilifeform: ( incidentally, dontcha wonder what ELSE will break when i pollard-rho and pollard-rhominusone ?! )

asciilifeform: imho it's a waste ( and it eats entire cpu core at all times also )

asciilifeform: right now an entire day in the week is reversed for '8ball', and the result is always these, 'make the rubble bounce'

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-25#1661644 << i probably oughta pollard-rho these and be done with it ☝︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-25#1661641 <<>> http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-25#1661462 ☝︎☝︎

asciilifeform: but there is nothing physically impossible about these.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-25#1661586 << you won't see a plastic boat , or one that is 8m wide, or pykrete, or any of the other technologies eschewed by the veblenists ☝︎

asciilifeform: hull, for instance, can be from epoxy.

asciilifeform: all of this -- exists. and it did not, 100 yrs ago.

asciilifeform: they did not have modern metallurgy, either ( there are metals that will laugh at a thousand years of salt water, e.g. hastelloy )

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-25#1661585 << these 'long hard years' people did not have laser cutters, water-jet cutters, ABS plastic & other modern nearly-indestructible (and intrinsically-buoyant ! in some cases) materials ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-05-25#1661582 << this is screamingly irrelevant to modern world -- why the everliving fuck would i want to use wood ?! or to cut it by hand?!! ☝︎☟︎

asciilifeform: idea being 'vandal-proofing' rather than finest-kbd-money-can-buy

asciilifeform: they are used in 'internet kiosks' etc.

asciilifeform: i have one in storage.

asciilifeform: rubber domes inside, mod6

asciilifeform: and then pete_dushenski et al are mega-surprised when they buy porche and it's plastic.

asciilifeform: funny how folx will spend quadrillions on idiot veblenisms and 0 on actual quality. ☟︎

asciilifeform: and with money.

asciilifeform: well not me, but a similar d00d who lives longer.

asciilifeform: or better yet, inconel.

asciilifeform: stainless.

asciilifeform: while we're on 'ideals', it'd be also spiffy to have a kbd with ~0~ plastic anywhere.

asciilifeform: e.g. 'greek', 'graph', 'rus/lat'

asciilifeform: )

asciilifeform: ( i would , for instance, put a whole column of -- yes, modal!111 -- bitsetter 'metas' b/w the left-F block and `/tab/ctrl/shift/ctrl

asciilifeform: not being able to physically relocate the keys, is frustrating.

asciilifeform: this even with not having to use x configs for anything, as i have custom micro in there with custom fw
