asciilifeform: incidentally, while on subj -- and i did even try to warn pete -- folx who abuse fg as 'collectible stamp' set themselves up for hurt, unlike patek etc thing is quite deliberately designed to be simple to replicate, lacks any form of serial numeration etc, and the only tests are for mechanical correctness, where all units built to spec pass, whether orig by asciilifeform, or by zimbabwe, or martians.

asciilifeform: oblig typical pete_d_ism, ftr. 'That simply crossing paths with an aristocratic family in my own backyard...' 'this was the heirloom quality family from TLP’s Patek Philippe ads...' etc

pete_dushenski: http://btcbase.org/log/2016-09-26#1548660 << patek philippe was the watchmaker tlp randomly chose from economist advertisement to construct a story about the aspie 14%s that he didn't realise he was so deeply entrenched in, as discussed previously : http://www.contravex.com/2015/11/10/the-danger-of-unchecked-assumptions-or-the-surprising-depths-of-inequality/ ☝︎

asciilifeform: ben_vulpes: what's patek ?

pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: tlp obviously went after this aspirational angle, even if he tripped over the patek philippe price points, as per http://www.contravex.com/2015/11/10/the-danger-of-unchecked-assumptions-or-the-surprising-depths-of-inequality/

pete_dushenski: p their friends for brunch on sunday morning while talking at length about what option boxes (of the 4 available) they ticked or didn't, and why or why not. this 'aspie' set has no goals beyond the moment's likes and hearts, not unlike the set that tlp mischaracterised as patek philippe owners.

ascii_field: i will admit, i would never even have known wtf is a 'patek philip' if not for tlp...

asciilifeform: first they ban old fashioned bear baiting, before long it'll be mandatory patek philip and butt piracy for everyone
