mircea_popescu: a well known hollywood celeb that has nevertheless never done any movies.
BingoBoingo: Ah, So like a Kardashian without a sex tape.
mircea_popescu: well they're working on the sex tape.
mircea_popescu: In February 2009, "Dex" called a KFC restaurant in Manchester, New Hampshire. Posing as a manager from the corporate office, he persuaded employees to douse the building with fire suppression chemicals and to then proceed outside, remove all of their clothing and urinate on each other (he claimed the chemicals were caustic and this would render them inert).

mircea_popescu: On July 20, Markle tricked a desk clerk at the Homewood Suites in Lexington, Kentucky into drinking another person’s urine. The prank started with a call to a guest. The guest was told it was the front desk calling and that a prior guest had tested positive for Hepatitis C. The guest was then told there was a doctor on site and a simple urine test could determine if the guest was infected. The urine was to be brought
mircea_popescu: to the front desk in a simple drinking glass. Markle then called the front desk alleging to be an employee of Martinelli's Cider. He told the clerk that a representative from the company would like to come downstairs with a sample of their new drink. The guest from the previous call then arrived and handed the clerk his urine. Markle then coaxed the woman to try it. He asked how it tasted. "Horrible," she said. "That
mircea_popescu: does not taste like cider. I'm not going to take another sip, that's horrible." Markle replied: "Well, I need to inform you of something, ma'am. I want you to understand that you just drank that man's urine."

mod6: lol nubbins` wasn't kidding: http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/2013/11/07/new_5_and_10_polymer_bills_released_by_bank_of_canada.html
kakobrekla: whats odd also about tf, different people are getting back different percentages of their holdings or soemthing
nubbins`: mod6: crisp stacks of them are VERY difficult to separate. it's a real pain
nubbins`: cashiers are always death-gripping them
mircea_popescu: lmao @poorly made polymer bills.
mircea_popescu: romania has been using all poly for a decade, and the problem never existed here.
mod6: i bet, nubbins`. seems like that would be a problem.
mircea_popescu: the trick is that they have to have special faces.
mircea_popescu: which costs slightly more
nubbins`: they tend to nest together around the braille
mod6: huh.
nubbins`: once they've been circulating for a while they're ok, but crisp ones are always a problem
nubbins`: polymer notes also don't fold nicely
nubbins`: i'm really not a huge fan
nubbins`: better than more coins, though
BingoBoingo: Apparently Mt Dox is a thing now https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=327178.0
nubbins`: the see-thru panels are kinda cool tho
mircea_popescu: there's really not much choice, you can't make "paper" textile secure enough.
mod6: mircea_popescu: do you mean 'faces' as in the artwork on the note, or as in some sort of poly scuffing or 'roughness' on the surface?
mircea_popescu: the latter mod6
mod6: ahh
mod6: interesting way to get around the problem i suppose. new paper notes always stick together over here -- and there's a lot of 'em (lol)
nubbins`: the canadian notes have texture as well
mircea_popescu: nubbins` then it must not be done right or something ?
nubbins`: i assumed that it was because they cut the sheets in stacks, and don't mechanically fan them to encourage separation before shipping them to the banks
nubbins`: in fact, i mis-counted the tenants' rent twice this month because of this very problem
mod6: are these poly-notes just straight poly, or are they a laminated pet (polyester) | polyethylene with paper in the middle?
nubbins`: pure poly
nubbins`: the canadian notes have fully transparent sections
mod6: oh, ok. probably better that way to avoid delamination
mod6: one bad lot of glue could mean delam for lots and lots of notes haha.
nubbins`: http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6222/6356371907_4686b1d63d_m.jpg
nubbins`: (you can see the guilty braille near the bottom right of the "E"
nubbins`: )
mod6: ok, so its a [ poly | ink | poly ] construction 'eh
mod6: well, actually: [poly | ink | glue | poly ] (probably)
nubbins`: i'm not sure of the specifics. the clear section has a hologram ribbon embedded in it
nubbins`: and i'm pretty sure it's a different polymer than the rest of the note
mod6: yeah, those are just probably inserted as a strip during or before the lamination process.
mircea_popescu: are they huge or is the kbd really small
nubbins`: macbook keyboard, regular size bills (for us, anyway)
nubbins`: ~150x70mm?
nubbins`: 2.75x6"
mircea_popescu: is that the largest bill ?
assbot: [HAVELOCK] [AM1] 1 @ 0.6398 BTC [+]

KRS-: not good
KRS-: amazing how many people are all up in BTC considering the price
assbot: AMAZING COMPANY!
nubbins`: there was a $1,000 note until 2000
nubbins`: it was removed from circulation after they realized it was only being used to launder money
nubbins`: http://www.cdnpapermoney.com/images/Birds/1988_1000f.jpg
KRS-: But then again <XDS2010> hey can i buy 2USD of bitcoins off someone ?
KRS-: $2!
mircea_popescu: "launder money" = "use moneuy according to wishes of owners rather than government" ?
nubbins`: mp, precisely
mircea_popescu: well then fuck them.
KRS-: if one wanted to do that couldnt one just trade btc for gold directly?
nubbins`: i can't argue with ya there
KRS-: one of the easier ways?
nubbins`: krs, shut up, you'll ruin it

nubbins`: it used to be worse? :0
mircea_popescu: no, i'm just sarcastic.

Namworld: Even agressive comments are polites.
nubbins`: ugh
nubbins`: never read the comments
nubbins`: it always degenerates into "loony lefties" or "harper's goons"
nubbins`: or bleating about immigration reform
mircea_popescu: o wow, canada has like politics and everything ?
mircea_popescu: how adowabwe.

mircea_popescu: no no, how to pilot a tank w/o a shaft
mircea_popescu: also how to fix tracks
asciilifeform: nobody cancelled slipped tracks.
mircea_popescu: it was dearly beloved historically by romanians. the mo of the romanian army (which incidentally was one of the problems of leningrad) was to use the shitty czech skodas they had to force the russian crew out of a t34
mircea_popescu: and then use that.
asciilifeform: just like russians would club a german with 'ppsh' and take his schmeisser...
mircea_popescu: yheah.
mircea_popescu: it was like "every destroyed t34 is a sad loss" sort of thing.
asciilifeform: or americans in vietnam, clubbing the enemy with jammed m16 and take his rifle.
mircea_popescu: is the ppsh the one where they had to pool the cartridges for the entire regiment and then sort them by size ?
mircea_popescu: as everything was slightly different
asciilifeform: the one that would go full auto if you dropped it.

Perlboy: "for the real world" anyways
Perlboy: bitcoin is a crazy investment that you do when you got money you can lose
Perlboy: ie. young and stupid. :)
Perlboy: and you'd have to be uber stupid to buy in @ $300 now...
Perlboy: better to get setup and funded in an account
