mircea_popescu: o look they have
a whole apron and sleeve thing. the sleeve is great, other than side index / metacarpophalangeal joint injury, you mostly get the above wrist spot.
mod6: i've been stabbed by
a number of phesant bones while cuttign them up. sucks.
mircea_popescu: the first time
a rib punctures through your anal play latex condom glove and you end up spending n hours and n^2 dollars on doctors you see the wisdom.
mod6: yeah, i got
a few boxes of latex ones around the house.
mircea_popescu: bu the gloves are
a good idea, for anthrax mostly. don't cut yourself.
mircea_popescu: then-butchered liver is always exactly the same. after
a few you learn to tell.
mircea_popescu: "it's great as
a steak... or in stu... or in... and she kept getting yellower as she went.
mircea_popescu: actually knew
a gal that started trying to make
a garden, but she was
a ways off from my house and 10 feet from the forest. so rabbits came wiped it EVERY NIGHT. so she put in traps.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> maybe train your cat to decapitate rabbits ? << dog gets
a bunch. but apparently not enough.
BingoBoingo: The first time mammals show interest in
a plant you gotta shut that shit down. Black pepper around the perimeter as
a warning and Cayenne pepper on the plant to protect it.
mod6: so already feels like
a lot less.
mod6: yeah, I think that's
a decent idea.
mod6: i did eat quite
a bit of it before it shot up though. so that was pretty cool.
mod6: will replant later this summer in hopes of
a fall harvest before the frost starts.
mod6: Also turns out that my romaine lettuce had "bolted" which is why it grew so high. got
a bit of
a bitter taste to it. this bolting process is basically when it's ready to flower, sometimes because of stress. so i cut 'em down.
mod6: gonna try doing some refridgerator pickles first. will "can"
a few probably when i get
a few more... excited to try this out
mod6: mine grew
a lot too. i did harvest
a few pickling cucumbers today. at least enough for two Kerr jars worth.
BingoBoingo: My grass put on about 8 inches of height in
a week. Was fun mowing yesterday.
mod6: yeah, was an absolute blazer up here last week. but starting saturday, quite
a bit of rain.
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile here in the Middle West we are solidly in neither drought nor flood. June teased
a drought, but storms have regularly been dropping 1-4 inches of rain at
a time.
mod6: so anyway, i'll prepare the rest of these as well as
a more refined disclaimer. clearsign them, and pass 'em around for some testing.
mod6: this is even
a bit easier than i thought, looks like uudecode will just take the whole ball of wax and parse out the base64 part on its own:
mod6: i'll prepare them in this way, and re-discuss when i have 'em. probably in
a day or two.
mod6: <+mircea_popescu> mod6 how do you add comment with armor ? << yeah, there'd be no comment in the gpg armor'd artifacts. this would only be possible with using the uuencoded archives, placing
a comment in the top, and then clearsigning the whole thing.
BingoBoingo: From the mines: "Why do fat women always think theyre the ones being cat called on the side walk? Ive always been teeny tiny.. somehow with
a big rack and no ass (i call it my lack there of or white girl 90's butt). Ive always been hollared at. I dont mind, I actually like it but everytime Im with
a beefalo (which is rare) and positive attention is given they are repulsed and act offended. Like bitch that hobo was asking me to s his d no
mod6: So was thinking, make these four as deeds, then create
a follow on deed that is
a disclaimer that references the four artifact deeds - stating that the archive extracted will have the following hashes and that my signature doesn't declare that I have written or read the code. Something to that effect.
mod6: I had shinohai and trinque both check my signed files and they confirm that it looks good (i tested on
a variety of env's myself)
mod6: So tried out
a few different things with signing the artifacts:
phf: i'm on
a vacation in Seattle, but there's no way i'm coming back from vacation without
a working bot restart
BingoBoingo: "The patient sued the physician assistant and the supervising physician. During discovery, the PA testified that he had considered the diagnosis of compartment syndrome, but had never seen
a case of compartment syndrome in his career."
BingoBoingo: thestringpuller: Eh, kind of
a maybe. ALso seems like there could be some missing zeroes
mircea_popescu: "At this point the Dindu game is so much more sophisticated than the Pig game, one is tempted to surmise that federal operatives are advising the Dindu cadres." <<< that one is so tempted only speaks of the mangina-tastic quality of that one. really, so married to the belief that there's
a meta-nsa in the sky, that all quality automatically gotta be allocated to IT ?
☟︎ BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: How do people seriously expect to trade on such
a laggy piece of shit?
BingoBoingo: Also at some point someone may build
a bash again and need to find all the $b
ben_vulpes: (above has various oopsies, f.ex "previous block" should be
a self-fk to blocks)
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: primarily interested in modeling the blockchain succinctly in sql. various webthingers will be
a natural product.
a111: Logged on 2014-11-07 18:55 asciilifeform: 'One metaphor for monetization is that of
a storage vessel, like
a battery for electricity or
a tank for compressed gas. When people buy into the currency, they are charging the battery and compressing the tank. When they sell out, they are discharging the battery. When new currency is created (perhaps by alchemists) without
a buy-in, the tank has sprung
a leak. Etc. The charge, or the pressure, is simply the
mircea_popescu: battery altogether
a good model for money in the general.
mircea_popescu: battery actually excellent model. "this provides 10kV, for
a total 0.1VA energy draw"
mircea_popescu: "worth
a dollar each up to
a total of fiddy bucks ; there's ten million circulating"
mircea_popescu: actually thestringpuller has
a decent piece on some other scamcoin explaining how this "per token value with
a cap" works. what was it called, steaming-pile-of-shit ? something like this.
BingoBoingo: "I get your point, but I'm in central North Carolina where we generally don't have water shortage problems, and I don't really want my side yard to become
a swamp and mosquito breeding ground. "
BingoBoingo: "They are dumb and giving you free water. I would make
a wetlands, build
a pond, or divert it all to
a new garden. I'd also threaten to sue and demand they fund said project. That way you get
a water source and
a new garden installation."
mircea_popescu: laughing, flying through the air - it's
a can of soda. Have you ever been standing there and you're watching TV and you're drinking the exact same product that they're advertising right there on TV, and it's like, you know, they're spiking volleyballs, jetskiing, girls in bikinis and I'm standing there - "Maybe I'm putting too much ice in mine."
mircea_popescu: The bad thing about television is that everybody you see on television is doing something better than what you're doing. Did you ever see anybody on TV like just sliding off the front of the sofa with potato chip crumbs on their face? Some people have
a little too much fun on television: the soda commercial people - where do they summon this enthusiasm? Have you seen them? "We have soda, we have soda, we have soda", jumping,
thestringpuller: hey! if the streets can teach you anything it should be, "you can't turn
a ho into
a housewife"
mircea_popescu: how do they buy
a house ? "oh wouldn't this be
a great house if it were
a great house ?" "you don't get title, the credit terms are insane, the interest is massively overpriced, you give away all negotiating position and the house is
a shitfarm in
a shithole" "YES BUT IF!"
mircea_popescu: how do they get married ? "oh, wouldn't this woman be hot if she were hot ?" "she's
a neurotic mess, and unable to stand on her own" "yes but IF!"
mircea_popescu: no, more of "fuck, if we try
a fork and we get overrun we're fucked - not only the legal mess we're in doesn't improve, but we lose control altogether"
mircea_popescu:
a cognitive misprocess which virtually ensures failure.
thestringpuller: reminds me of an article I read about "successful people" and that when you read
a success story you only read about their successes, not their failures. the avoidance of failure in this culture is profound.
mircea_popescu: because if you do consider undersides, socialism becomes
a laughable proposition. but if you don't... why, best system evar!
mircea_popescu: that's where "nobody could have predicted" cuts in : nobody THAT WAS
A GOOD SOCIALIST DERP could have predicted, because in order to be
a socialist derp it is verboten to consider the downside. of anything.
mircea_popescu: nah, it's
a very strict "look at the upside only" nonsense, which is what passes for "critical thinking" in the usg concentration camp. and HAS TO, it's not that usg is evil, is that the stupidity of the muppets in
a socialist state IS REQUIRED. they MUST only see the upside, else their entire nonsensical "State" stops working.
mircea_popescu: re that : imagine the lulz when
a) turns out the miners attack the "good" fork ; and b) the legal liability on the head of mit discussed yesterday STILL DOESNT GO AWAY.
mircea_popescu: all in all i'd guess 1/4 is just about fair, really, but from this level of zoom-out the queen of england seems somewhat hot and hilary clinton seems like she might have
a chance.
mircea_popescu: thestringpuller because they're poorer, which makes them more frequently be in the kill zone (do man-hours spent being
a ghetto prop for each pop and see) ; and cowardlier, which makes them more frequently misproject their threat footprint. (ie, whites carry concealed or discreetly, loaded weapons ; blacks carry visibly and loudly unloaded, often not even functional, or useful weapons - cue the derp with the assault rifle in
mircea_popescu: "8. The police are more likely to attack black suspects than whites. Untrue. [Look, Tyrone 4 times as many pale faces are killed by pigs every year than are blacks." << this is
a broken argument. if there's one baby and
a hundred sluts and the police kills one baby and one slut, it is therefore fair to say the police is more likely to attack babies than sluts.
mircea_popescu: "This year, so far, I have completed and published 36 titles and hope to wrap up eight more next month." << da fuck ? what's at work here, does he title his paragraphs individually ? there's enough articles to fill maybe half
a book, is he not publishing most of his material ?
mircea_popescu: "Charles informed me that my name is mud on something called reditt,
a big reposting site." << lol nb.
thestringpuller: damn what
a mess. exactly what we predicted would happen in
a hard fork.
BingoBoingo: I kinda wonder why they don't sew
a mesh into themselves and use their Beetus as
a fuel cell to charge phone.
mats: i presume they're plugged into an external battery, since the thing eats power like
a motherfucker?
mats: i'm reading on
a cdc site that halon is approx. as toxic to humans as co2
mircea_popescu: in other news "hot pursuit" is an ok comedy. sofia vergara is dumb as
a doorknob, but smoking hot ; reese witherspoon is maturing into
a remarkable actress. if she keeps up she'll end up
a sort of her generation's maryl streep.
mircea_popescu: but from
a cultural (as opposed to
a civilisational) perspective, they're doing
a (belated) digestion of
a large field. ie, they're finally apple-izing it.
mircea_popescu: i suspect these actually form
a class, something like "escapist technologies". up until recent "steampunk" revival, steam engine and metalworking did not enjoy same position.
BingoBoingo: ;;later tell pete_dushenski C17H13ClN4 can be
a lot of things, gotta present the atoms in
a way the clarifies the structure
thortron: BingoBoingo: in anycase consider the claim retracted, as attempting to prove it with
a signed statement saying "I agree" would make any attempt to prove it worthless.
thortron: BingoBoingo eh nothing to say just lurking. Will pipe up when I can help on
a task.
shinohai: mircea_popescu: wp isn't so bad once server is tweaked
a little
mats: i can think of half
a dozen reasons, all to do with publicity, subversion of justice, and embarrassing the court
