gabriel_laddel: I was computing so they stuck me into mental.. no charge
gabriel_laddel: Uncle Al: ~"I had IV drip of morphine for 3 months. opiates are boring pharma"
gabriel_laddel: some people learn about sex and go MEMEMEMEMEMEMEMEMME. Some people hear about sports and find it appeals to them. there is a wide variation in genetics & environments.
gabriel_laddel: trinque: dude whatever I heard drugs existed and sought them out by iterating through every human I could find.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform people end up in jail, the people who do "annie" typically are not the guys running an assay on it, etc. etc.
gabriel_laddel: the cartels are not sophisticated enough to read the logs & go "hey, if there is enough variation in alcohols for one of the world's most wealthy men to comment on them, perhaps also for our product"
☟︎ gabriel_laddel: Kansas 'annie' from the 90s was supposedly far more powerful than the crystal available today because of the "dirty leftover reagents".
gabriel_laddel: Matter... matters. If you have leftover reagents you might get what is known as "shooter's dope". Got extra l-isomer for meth? Biker crank. Phosphorous? Pink champagne.
gabriel_laddel: My interest, incidentally is what OTC d-amph looks like on societal level. The yanks had racemic amph, Erdos had that + ritilan. Japs & Germans had meth. Nobody has had a d-amph free-for-all afaict.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform do you have a book recommendation for use of amphetamines in ww2? I looked a few times and nothing caught my interest
gabriel_laddel: Nothing in particular that I can say "aha! crazy!" as the whole story is totally alien
gabriel_laddel: Well for one, awfully interesting comparison - to a chinaman!? Completely out of the blue (yellow?). That his eunuchs did anything at all continues to be surprising to me, thought I guess floggings are useful motivation when you've no sexual drive?
gabriel_laddel: Anyways there are no imaginative+curious people in SF, but the guy offering his sister had the right idea. Hm. Actually there was one now that I think about it. Two if you count the negro "man, I need some of what you've got". Fuck yeah Black America. Better showing than whitey.
gabriel_laddel: he city, because I didn't see a soul four hours (maybe two, idk). Found a doorbell with arab lettering and rang it furiously. I hope it disturbed them something awful anddsfsdfsdfewdshdslkhfdslhlkjfdshdskjfhds AHEM. Wasn't thinking that at the time, but a terrorist attack & subsequent rebuild seems more likely than any other route to improved publi
gabriel_laddel: ome and a weekend nights end at like 11pm because my generation deserves holocaust). This involved dancing around all over the place, even going so far as to pull out my computer & code onehanded, balancing on one foot, bobbing like a maniac, with lightbulb affixed. Honest to god, I can't tell you if ANYONE even lives in the whole western half of t
gabriel_laddel: Example: had the thought -- ~ _someone, somewhere_ in this godforsakken sodom must have an imagination, and a curiosity to match it! So I took a light bulb, placed it above my head like a cartoon 'idea emoji' and walked all of SF many times over trying to elicit some sort of novel reaction from the fri night 'partygoers' (ED NOTE: sf is a nursing h
gabriel_laddel: n idea, or some form of sensory input bodily electrical resonance. MP's 'women are only useful as slaves' comes to mind. Are men only useful when tweaking? 'Bennies' were readily available at Los Alamos during MP. Did no-sleep-drive-and-read-johnny use? I can't find primary sources and am also digressing... Tweaking. Something WILL grab your intere
☟︎☟︎ gabriel_laddel: not a choice in the matter. A state of (Csikszentmihalyi) flow - forgetting to eat, drink, sitting in one position beyond any reasonable limit - we all do this when thinking anyways, but it can be interupted. When you remove the very notion of interruption what you're left with is tweaking, which is an awful lot like being enslaved, perfectly, by a
gabriel_laddel: rable' it is simply has no academic interests & probably spends most of their time seeking or finding sexual release (ie #tweaker nation tumblr females. Notice, very few post about meth and the read much closer to 'Ive no purpose, need to reproduce, NOW. What you like meth? OKAYSUREWHATEVERMETOOJUSTFUCKMEALREADY'). The catch however is that you've
☟︎☟︎ gabriel_laddel: An effective summary of d-amph: it works, you're in control it and has no comedown (due to l-amph in adderal). Whereas meth (again no negative comedown aside from sleep & need to eat like pregnant (with ideas?)) will grab your conciousness and irreversiby chain it to your own interests in the span of 5-15 minutes. Anyone rambling about how 'pleasu
gabriel_laddel: I have to move because people are coming into the room, but will drop an actual story with details here in a sec, or at least PM to you ascii
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform nah. understanding through observation can be performance-enhanced. is useful too.
gabriel_laddel: lolno. But when you "tweak" the ideas in your head start to drive rather than sane human things like "I shouldn't be fooling around with these love-glasses and the way they make the girls look in broad daylight" go out the window.
gabriel_laddel: then did that -- for 3-6 hours in the dead of night. Some guy offered me his sister's hand in marriage.
gabriel_laddel: Nono, just different. Fuck can't find the link -- but anyways, I had the idea that it'd be easier to hold a lightbulb over my head and head out on a Sat. night in sf than to network with people one by one
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform d-amph is better in that it far less physical, doesn't cause oxidative stress, isn't as much of a "scheming" high and won't make you tweak to the point of tripping face.
gabriel_laddel: What, pray tell, did she take, and for how long, and how clean, and by what ROA?
gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo hur dur mind altering substances alter the mind.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform regarding addy: you're looking at this the wrong way -- people with shit security ALREADY hold btc. And tracking me down is easy. Can come find me anyday in PA.
gabriel_laddel: BingoBoingo do tell since clearly you know more about clean mexican meth than I do.
gabriel_laddel: yo it'll sound like a bunch of excited / nervous engineering types discussing IP addresses, fake names & locations over lunch
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform palintir is right around corner from me. if I hear them discussing how to track down someone from btc addy over lunch == axe time sword time
gabriel_laddel: Some panic'd phrasing of "my USD investments are worthless!"
gabriel_laddel: Oh I think I'll hear fear / desperation in the voice of one of these government people while getting a coffee.
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform anyway I respond it'll boil down to "gut instinct". And that's fine, because we've all got different T levels, peni lengths, brain structures, heights and this determines what you're up for / can do.
gabriel_laddel: "yer not a man then!" OK ya, am total wage slave / bitch to someone willing to kill for it. fine by me
gabriel_laddel: I specifically have no intent to hold btc until after some people get murdered for it
gabriel_laddel: where was the thread where MP notes the only stable life is in ransacking other's castles...
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform gut instinct + talking to people out here + overhead conversations
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform because the coke-selling part of the CIA has not yet wanted to own btc
gabriel_laddel: trinque 1. get a job at startup without having graduated from anything ever, with no network (CHECKMARK)
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes I'm not afraid, just not particularly adept with guns/poison
gabriel_laddel: ben_vulpes yeah -- when suddenly the _general public_ (ie gov/cia/fbi pensioners) realizes they need to hold btc and come to beat it out of whoever
gabriel_laddel: plus was listing off interesting things you could build with masamune
gabriel_laddel: but beyond that, I was applying to accelerators with this company because I don't want a real job
gabriel_laddel: asciilifeform has to do with my hand hurting from overuse
gabriel_laddel: or maybe neato allows more fine-grained control than I am aware of
gabriel_laddel: afaict, the lack of a CAD program to input the clean routines is the only reason I get interrupted by cleaners in whatever lounge I happen to be working in
gabriel_laddel: totally hypothetical, I'm just sticking this on the end of "gimme job plz" emails along with some connective tissue
gabriel_laddel: antecedent ventures == those who failed to venture far enough
gabriel_laddel: anyways, I'm not worried about my own supply, just curious about microscopes is all
gabriel_laddel: Melting poing can't tell ISO from meth. MSM & other cuts can be acetone washed out.
gabriel_laddel: #! the people in real life are the people from movies not the people from real life
gabriel_laddel: Wait a minute. Pasteur separated racemates by hand -- so I should at least be able to tell "biker crank" (racemic meth) from "crystal" (d-meth)
gabriel_laddel: I'm curious about the utility of microscopes. Don't really care about meth purity too much.
gabriel_laddel: Humans cannot. N-ISO can co-crystalize along with it. But a NN? Idk
☟︎ gabriel_laddel: Anyone made use of these digital usb microscopes in any context & have thoughts?
