asciilifeform: which is why when i encounter a fella like shinohai, who has 100% of his time, it boggles my mind that he hasn't built a thermonuclear dirigible simply as a side effect of basic fucking metabolism

asciilifeform: 'i built atomic dirigible but fughet why!111'

asciilifeform: if i had 100% 'where to spade' , we'd be shooting enemy from atomic dirigible with death ray just nao, rather than this thread.

asciilifeform: hang straight off the yardarm of dirigible, wainot

mircea_popescu: the situation of white woman on amazon island is that whatever the fuck you talk about, it's dirigible-to-shitshack more interesting than whatever ~else~ they could be hearing about.

asciilifeform: lolhow's that ? does mircea_popescu throw ladder down from dirigible to the tall ones?

asciilifeform: all the speed of dirigible, with none of the comforts!11

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i'd settle for the dirigible-era encyclopaedia, if it comes to it

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2018-09-19#1852253 << not errybody is firing from atomic dirigible, [insert mandatory thread] etc ☝︎

PeterL: have we already explored small dirigible with pv panels on top and electric motor?

asciilifeform: sometimes i wonder if it's actually mircea_popescu working without gloves on the hot smoking factory floor of the insane asylum, and asciilifeform somehow is the one looking down from dirigible

asciilifeform: pretty great for starting yer dirigible's 4 3kHp maybachs...

asciilifeform: lol it'll be the translationdictionary dirigible thread alloveragain won't it.

asciilifeform: but you somehow gotta get to that takeoff, and not everyone has dirigible.

asciilifeform: they are not separate from mircea_popescu's dirigible, but to the folx on the ground are very different items, with different types of spiked ends on the whips

asciilifeform: it is how the raw material suppliers think. i, working with hands, am not at liberty to get on the atomic dirigible of dreams and think entirely differently.

mircea_popescu: see, what do you want dirigible for. alreadfy got one, looking down through telescope at teh stone age folk

asciilifeform: what does a 100kg chick look like after ? does skin hang like sad, empty dirigible ballonet ?

asciilifeform: i wouldn't. for all i know, mircea_popescu works on it, in his dirigible, and never said a word.

jurov: let's bikeshed this. does tmsr have a flag to put on the dirigible?

pete_dushenski: anyways, geekwad, no, evidently doesn't have dirigible.

asciilifeform: they took a serious technological risk - and lost, like dirigible; rather than won, like steamboat.

asciilifeform: i'd picture many of the chix would agree to join as junior deck swabbie in mircea_popescu's dirigible. but -- no such luck. (and for that matter, no such luck for the d00dz, either, in any case)

Framedragger: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-03-10#1624181 << funnily enough, currently doing some amateur electrolysis to slowly extract hydrogen, put it into balloon, and (later) attach a simple radio and propeller for cheap ass dirigible. it's Fun ☝︎

asciilifeform: now i dun have an intel agency, or even dirigible, but i did read mr.t's campaign brochure and 'surrender to bitcoin' wasn't in there.

asciilifeform: gabriel_laddel_p: i recommend to take the advice of mircea_popescu ! in the sense where it is a waste of brain cycles to , past certain point, design 'atomic dirigible' if you haven't with what to make it, and have no foreseeable approach to it

asciilifeform: not everybody has a guard booth with servant chilling his bones by the antitank ditch on the edge of the dirigible field.

asciilifeform: 'With every home in Bentonville hooked up to a smart meter that measures hourly electricity and water usage, police looked at the data and noticed Bates used an "excessive amount of water" during the alleged drowning.' << wtf, what was he drowned in, a dirigible hangar ?!

asciilifeform: on dirigible - yet moar. and on mars - more still.

asciilifeform: if i knew how to separate cognition and fizz, i'd be dictating terms to republic of california from dirigible fleet.

asciilifeform: even dirigible does not magic away the problem, it could even be that mircea_popescu would much more enjoy fucking ancient babylonian gurlz, whose training could take a week instead of a year, no 'gargauni' in the head to start with, but they are not available.

asciilifeform: anyway, folks-sans-dirigible-have-no-preferences-just-illusions, etc., sure, we had thread.

asciilifeform: and on dirigible there are no roof leaks also.

mircea_popescu: asciilifeform amusingly enough, it could be rendered in terms of the mp-alf discussion ; on the alf side. it ~says "tyvm for telling us to be less poor ; here in africa no dirigible."

asciilifeform: shinohai: the amp is the tricky bit. and the dirigible.

asciilifeform: at any rate if mircea_popescu wants to build sw lighthouse on his dirigible, it'd be quite spiffy, not only do i not have any argument against it, but consider it the right and properly inevitable thing.

asciilifeform: coming next, surely, public atomic dirigible rides!1111

ben_vulpes: i should indeed see the * produced in dirigible

mircea_popescu: aanyway. you should see the piles produced in a dirigible. we occasionally (in full formation, chef + sous chef + 2-3 helpers) manage to dirty every dish in the house.

mircea_popescu: dirigible very workable as a 2-3kg quadcopper

asciilifeform: ya ya all these earthlings are idiots and only on this dirigible i'm d'artagnan ok.

asciilifeform: from the parking orbit of mircea_popescu's dirigible, somewhere past pluto, both look quite similar yes.

asciilifeform: none of these folk are getting arse welts any more than they'll be dragged on a rope under dirigible.

asciilifeform pictures assemblage of bots carrying on here, long after we all went down in atomic dirigible crashes

mircea_popescu: aha. hey, i'm a man of simple tastes. 120 tdw boat , dirigible... i always content myself with the very inaccessible.

asciilifeform: i suppose when you're mircea_popescu, you can just moore your dirigible to it.

asciilifeform: this is not even dirigible material, pretty basic item.

asciilifeform: in other noose, https://archive.is/Yvhnf << world's largest dirigible, british (originally american) crashes.

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu has humans in the loop , this tech is not applicable outside of dirigible .

asciilifeform: thus far i don't even know if mircea_popescu's concept is absolute ('must afford dirigible') or simply 'stay out of bottom 10% of social pyramid' or what.

asciilifeform: but is advice that is of 0 use outside of the dirigible.

asciilifeform stumped, on account of insufficient dirigible experience

mircea_popescu: why for me! so we keep having these "how do build dirigible" threads weekly, while we patently ignore what the fellow who built the trope name has to say about the process ?

asciilifeform: it is a textbook 'cutting apart' item: what does yacht cost if you cut away all of the dirigible crapolade

a111: Logged on 2016-07-03 17:31 asciilifeform: i like the idea of slowly building 'dirigible'

mircea_popescu: the question to you is, are you building a dirigible in the white man sense or in the sand nigger sense ?

asciilifeform: i like the idea of slowly building 'dirigible' ☟︎

a111: Logged on 2016-07-03 05:24 BingoBoingo: ben_vulpes: Are you in the camp of fixing putting in essentials and being cool with not doing everything at once, or are you in camp alf who want to turn ghetto dirigible into yet another suburan cookie cutter thing.

asciilifeform: do i need dirigible to have fork in my kitchen ?

pete_dushenski: well there's your dirigible money right there ;)

asciilifeform: judging by the 0 uptake among the dirigible dwellers.

asciilifeform: unless i catastrophically misunderstand, proper kidnapping is intrinsically 'luxury vehicle', like a submarine or dirigible.

a111: Logged on 2016-06-04 16:33 asciilifeform: i can see it from dirigible, firing warning hbomb shots across potomac river. but from captive derp ?

phf: asciilifeform: unless you're inside mp's dirigible, pretty sure you're inside monkey house. these "wars" mostly end with you losing further ground one way or another

asciilifeform: it is almost at the level of postulate, that folks who have dirigible are those who don't need.

asciilifeform: i grasp how mircea_popescu might enjoy hunting idiots for sport from safe height of dirigible, and he has plenty of leisure for this, like medieval lord - but the time budget ~i~ have for idiots, is 0.

mircea_popescu: PeterL> mix dirigible and hot air baloon into one sweet machine! << self heating, and also propelling!

asciilifeform: if i had even so much as mined on the ~fpgas that i already owned~ when the thing began, i would be in neighbouring dirigible to mircea_popescu

mircea_popescu: ben_vulpes> right now, i expect to sign something half-baked that then crashes on some dirigible and gets me excommunicated << this is a very cogent point ; and i feel rather the same way.

ben_vulpes: right now, i expect to sign something half-baked that then crashes on some dirigible and gets me excommunicated

asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: with argumentum ad dirigible ? yes.
