mats: i wonder what kinda premiums (50%?) lloyds is imposing for war risk insurance after all this business
mats: supposed houthis took another shot at us navy ship today
mats: topically, it appears the attack on sunday was the first combat deployment of the BAE Nulka ship decoy
mod6: thestringpuller: werd
BingoBoingo: lol: "Our Trump-supporting friend in Illinois is a surprisingly big part of the reason. In some polls, he’s weighted as much as 30 times more than the average respondent, and as much as 300 times more than the least-weighted respondent."
mircea_popescu: in other kickass smoothie news : seven almonds, a dab of purely dark chocolate and two cloves go in the coffee grinder ; then a banana, fresh brewed coffee, milk, ice and the ground dusts + some vanilla go in the blender.
☟︎ mats: .ir and .ru must be rubbing their hands in glee, they got to see the Nulka and SM-2 (USN's primary surface-to-air missile) deployed in actual combat
mircea_popescu: and the word around the campfire is that they're unimpressed.
mats: from the looks of things, the SM-2 as well as the ESSM systems didn't properly intercept incoming
mats: and the Nulka saved the day, narrowly
mircea_popescu: aha. and if there was an actual attack, ie, 5k to 50k flying objects as opposed t oa piddly single fire, they'd be underwater.
mircea_popescu: "Turkey has fired hundreds of senior military staff serving at NATO in Europe and the United States following July’s coup attempt, documents show, broadening a purge to include some of the armed forces’ best-trained officials." <<< except "most esltardian" does not mean "best trained". in fact, it means the opposite.
mircea_popescu: they were some of the worst trained officers in the history of turkish armed forces.
mats: i wonder how usg will react when uss cole pt 2 comes around
mircea_popescu: my bet is on it reacting the same exact way it reacted to having its ether raped.
mats: circling the wagons and going home, or some violent death throes involving another useless war
mats: americans don't have the stomach or the coin for the latter
mircea_popescu: they have the psychosis for flailing aimlessly and continuing as-if, however. so they will.
mats: meanwhile, few folks know or care that this particular chain events was probably precipitated by usg supplying saudis with arms used to strike a funeral that resulted in 142 dead
BingoBoingo: shinohai: Pls to self proofread future submissions at least a little bit. Also no more "mETH" or "ETH". Qntra style dictates "Ether" "Huffers" "Huffing" and "Huffing bag"
shinohai is losing touch with the huffers
BingoBoingo: Anyways it's been a while since a scammer got any attention for backing a coin with a physical substance and that was urea coin tard guy who didn't grok that urea is renewable. In continuing with the wHorticulture theme someone ought to start a Perlite coin.
jhvh1: stormy with a chance of packeting
mircea_popescu: fucking usgtards, any more inept than this they'd qualify for the 1970s.

thestringpuller: Can Buterin just cut his losses or are is DApps really gonna change da woooorld
mircea_popescu: that ca 330k vs texas 299k is utter bullshit. people are not equal ; my first day in texas was spent in a small town where the mayor was presenting an award to a 70 yo woman who, while eating a sandwhich at a diner, took out a .45 from her purse and blew the brains out of some mexican kid that was trying to hold up the place at knife point. they were giving her a plaque and everything.
mircea_popescu: that old woman, ifshe's still alive, which she probably is, counts as three california soldiers, as typified by that brandi manning or w/e his name was.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform if the whole arsenal is in working order, which it is not, it's barely sufficient to not do anything to texas, seeing how look at the fucking surface.
mircea_popescu: if you take out dallas and ft worth the texans might actually thank you.
BingoBoingo: Not to mention Texas has a string of ready allies to the north provided war breaks out along mostly ideological lines
PeterL: I agree, Texas would probably win. Texans are much more likely to identify as "Texan" than most other parts of the country would identify as their state's.
shinohai: Some day my grandchildren will ask me: "How did people pay for their morning coffee before #BitcoinUnlimited?"
PeterL: I remember when I was freshman in college, we got freshmen together for welcoming assembly. Speaker says anybody from California (people poliely raise hands), etc. until anybody from texas? (thunderous applause/shouting)
BingoBoingo: Texas has natural allies in Missouri, Oklahoma, and R-Kansas against california so long as the war does not start during College football season
a111: Logged on 2014-10-28 19:27 asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: strauss is a (now very old) man who was involved with some of the '70s derpistans (actual attempts at island 'nations' by american jokers). worth reading if only for zoological purposes.
BingoBoingo: Well how else do they find BEST napoleon unless they make them compete?
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: how does one get an x86-64 proggy to run on a bare cpu like the gizmo?
kmalkki: btw, sometimes I was able to get gizmo1 into state where smartprobe was unable to write SPI
kmalkki: also sage edk did not work with some other SPI vendor part I had
kmalkki: I never had much success with it either
kmalkki: and mostly pointless.. use $5 ftd232h instead with soic clip or wires
kmalkki: btw.. gizmo1 explorer board can provide serial console and coreboot
kmalkki: I mean the gizmo add-on board has FT232H on it, just use 2nd ttl-uart2usb
kmalkki: so you don't need that console-via-sage
kmalkki: well you can have consoloe output even before RAM is up
kmalkki: how early would you want it?
shinohai: !~later tell mod6 cannot submit gpg key to mailing list :/
jhvh1: shinohai: The operation succeeded.
mod6: what happened there shinohai? you just tried to send your gpg key to the ML?
mod6: im not sure how that'd work out. you might be better off putting your key on your "blog" as detailed in the logs, then just putting in a clearsigned message stating that's where one can find your pub key.
mod6: Or even where your key can be found by fingerprint via phuctor?
