mod6: :D had those made custom
mircea_popescu: check it out asciilifeform ; he's working towards a new kbd standard.
mod6: Not too bad... 5 for 21.25 + shipping.
mod6: Were bascilly shipped within 24 hours of order, to my surprise.
mircea_popescu: maybe we should have a log histogram done and then create a "unicode log keyboard". top 102 words get to go on the keys.
mod6: hah, that would be pretty cool imho.
mod6: Alright, I'm gonna get back to work here. Will update you all here on this pricing info.
mod6: !Qcalc ((0.002/31)*3)+(0.002*4)
mod6: !Qcalc ((0.002/31)*3)+.002
mod6: Thought you guys might like these. I'll throw up a blog post with the specs and stuff if there is interest.
mod6: That's the thought, yeah. I think a while ago ben_vulpes knocked the price down a bit to make it more appleaing. ( ben_vulpes, plz to correct me if I'm wrong here ). And I didn't know that this had happened.
mod6: I was still referring to our website for the pricing, and we had not removed that line item from the page. So where I thought it was 0.003 BTC per month, I perhaps should have been charging 0.002.
mod6: I'm gonna invoice as soon as I have confirmation. I apologize. I just wanna make sure it's right before I do; measure twice, cut once.
mod6: But yeah, invoice is coming, so you can come back to it when you have time. No need to wait around for me to get it figured out tonight.
mod6: Ok so that is what it's going to be; 0.002 BTC/mo for the shared hosting with the web and mysql + 10 Gb storage
mod6: !!invoice mircea_popescu 0.00819354 Pizarro Shared Hosting for bimbo.club through December 31st, 2018

BingoBoingo: ^ Relatedly the California Health Department abolished "vagina" in favor of "front hole" while they further replaced "vulva" and "penis" with the now official in California term "parts"

mircea_popescu: whoever the fuck is trying to sell "Indian Sex Mms Free Download. Xxx Madhuri Video. Porn Sex India Video. Indian Schoolgirl Sex Tube" etc.
mircea_popescu: (ah, note also the greedily opening butthole. this happens, in girls that regularily take it up the ass, because sexuality, as a subjective psychological construct, as well as sexual function, as a matter of physiology, are both TRAINED BEHAVIOURS, and absolutely nothing else ; certainly not some kind of "path to truth" or "deeply genuine and unfalsifiable expression of the self" or any of that 1900s "reformist" protestant ov
mircea_popescu: erexcited nonsense. consequently -- if sex includes buttseks, the butt will open up during sex, just like dogs drool when hearing the bell, and through exactly the same mechanisms for exactly the same reasons.)
diana_coman: hello mircea_popescu , I already got Mocky's bot to fail once!
mircea_popescu: it sometimes fails for me too, but i've not yet been able to get enough of a fix on it to report something useful.
mircea_popescu: nevertheless -- it also produced in excess of a quarter bn base value of minerals for me!
BingoBoingo: <mircea_popescu> BingoBoingo i sell reconditioned tommyguns, cheap. << Sweet, apparently .45 ACP is hard to find around these parts though
mircea_popescu: (oh, also got me #1 and #5 in month top of pops! and #1 today! win!)
mircea_popescu: BingoBoingo don't you just love it, btw, when all sorts of inept modern remakers of "prohibition era" have people machine gunned with the damned thing and then they ... walk ? or something like that ?
mircea_popescu has recently seen "the untouchables", a typically idiotic nonsenseyarn (with pre-america ending prettyboy costner). sean connery gets it well and good, and then proceeds to scramble about, his lungs 50% lead.
mircea_popescu: by VOLUME, i don't mean by fucking mass, that'd be a total blowout.
BingoBoingo: Anyways the armaments of the ATM refill crew are pretty armed with the rifles and submachine guns (apparently the ATM crews are organized as fireteams with specialists?)

trinque recalls throwing around m1 garand's in high school, had lead poured down the barrel
trinque: jrotc drill team; we had a particularly traditional sergeant, wasn't going to have any of that plastic gun pussy shit
mircea_popescu: trinque here's the fun thing : you can actually clean those. contrary to what the idiots think, it's not "permanent" : lead becoms soft enough to push out long before the barel's actually fucked by the temp.
mircea_popescu: (the fundamental problem being that lead and iron don't alloy)
trinque: somebody oughta tell the kids next time there's a priceless artifact of the old south to defend
mircea_popescu: warm enough lead to be workable is not such a big deal, can hold i nhand with leather strap.
mircea_popescu: nah, you do what the washing machine does, by hand. your surfactant's prolly going to be a grease.
mircea_popescu: washing machines all over the nation routinely get "lead" out of "barrel".
mircea_popescu: nope. iron is very different nation from pb / ag / au / u line.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform definitely, wasn't even getting into all of that.
mircea_popescu: but recall your own "remove bs solder through mixing" experiments
mircea_popescu: "what does warm mean ehre ?" "not zero." "zero what ?" "zero kelvin."

mircea_popescu: just that makes it obvious they should be shot until they submit.
trinque: it was all perverse, had two sergeants and a colonel (retired) trying to make a proper boys academy in a public school
trinque: probably has degenerated further since then
mircea_popescu: the things people who decided "to work with the system" will try...
mircea_popescu: kinda reminescent of the classical abused wife portrait.
mircea_popescu: or, if one prefers, kinda reminescent of the "computer security" crowd. same thing, really.
trinque: certainly. most obvious example was they'd hit ya, make you do pushups in mud, etc., but there was a tacit "don't spoil things and cry to mother, who cries to superintendent"
trinque: fortunately disappointing enough that I didn't end up stomping around the desert or flying drones for a living
trinque: lel, I thought this was what passed for "low-level commissioned officer" in chairforce these days
mircea_popescu: hey guise, i know how to to barrel rolls. i played some video games.
mats: usaf is crawling towards putting enlisted men into pilots seat due to personnel shortage
BingoBoingo: It's ok, they got Tome Cruise to make a sequel to Top Gun, never mind that is character would have hit the ceiling on career length and been forced out last decade
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: AHA, McCain and his soulmate Senator Lindsey Graham
mats: asciilifeform: not sure about the details but i wouldn’t be surprised if many pilots were at least 1LTs by the time they get out of training to actual unit
mats: since E1-4 and O1-3 are time gated ‘you’re not a fuckup here’s a promotion’ ranks
BingoBoingo was under the impression "warrant officer" ranks were kept around for helicopter folk
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you don't understand how pantsuit heroism works.
mats: usaf and army has different aviation culture
mircea_popescu: mccain needed MOST mother ? he's the best kid thereby!
mircea_popescu: anyway ; pilots were universally 2nd lts throughout jet golden era (60s to 80s say). this strictly for mats reason, got it upon completing academy.
mats: airframe is very expensive, smelly privates can’t be trusted
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: This was back when college degree still was a somewhat useful gatekeeper
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform very strictly what he says : can't have grunt have this much $$$ assigned to him.
mats: by contrast, warrant officers fly their entire careers in usarmy, commissioned officers also fly but also get piped through command and staff billets
mats: this probably works better, commissioned officer ‘up or out’ promotions aren’t good for retaining pilots
BingoBoingo: Doing an alt-history retrospective I am starting to think that if I would have enlisted... Coast Guard would have been the way to go. Practice useful skills like boarding ships, they do that all the time. When's the last time the Marines boarded a shipp in anger?
mircea_popescu: the mariens are supposed to be amphibious landers not fuckingpirates.
mircea_popescu: but yes, if one's contemplating a cartman career in somalia, coast guard works.
mircea_popescu: "losing the qualitative edge that has had the USAF dominating the air since 1945"
mats: good times in teh best military in the world
Mocky: marines just get carried around by the navy, dun 'take ships'
mircea_popescu: this is such claptrap it seems researched by sasha baron cohen
BingoBoingo: <Mocky> marines just get carried around by the navy, dun 'take ships' << This meshes with one of my cousin's experiences in the corps. Spent 6 years alternating between being stored on boats and being stored on land
mircea_popescu: anyway ; there was never actually a time us pilots were remarkable. during the war raf dominated the east and by VERY far japan dominated the east (in fact, the "biologically unfit to fly" jap pilots were the best pilots of the war, hands down). even romania's royal air force had better pilots than fucking usaf, wtf. but anyway, it was mostly brits and germans.
mircea_popescu: and since then, gimme a break ? for one thing ro destroyed the entire nato force back 9in when was it, 2015 exercise. and for the other, soviets were always better ; and after a brief gap ru is certainly supreme over the usg's rust buckets, since at least 2010s
mircea_popescu: (this isn't to say ro is that good ; but the nato planes are shit, and the nato pilots even worse shit)
BingoBoingo: Another counsin spent very little time one boats, bounced around between arctic and arizona with experience punctuated by "peacekeeping" in Balkans. His kid is latest to enlist because "acts out", didn't school good, and wtf else to do
a111: Logged on 2018-08-17 18:52 mircea_popescu: there's two kinds of i won : the "i won because you're fucking stupid" and the "omfg i'm so cool i won". the latter never works out.
mircea_popescu: but throughout tenure us "ace pilot" consisted ~of "fly stratofortress, armored plane above aa range".
mircea_popescu: so no, the "current" problems aren't current but fucking sturctural. always was a conclave of cowards.
mircea_popescu: point in case, "losing pilots to marriage stress". if you can't slap the bitch over that running mouth of hers, what the fuck are you going to do in the air ? shoot instagram posts ?
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yeah yeah. which is why the brits generally had to supply the cover.
Mocky: in the 90's all of the 'how to operate' tank training was in tanks and ~all the 'how to fight as effective tank platoon' was in shitty simulator. this for both army and marines. Makes me wonder about 'modern' pilot training
mircea_popescu: folk are broken in the fucking head ; just look at current mad max remake : a hot chick THAT IS NOT NAKED driving A TRUCK.
mircea_popescu: totally, that's how "postapocalyptic" works. moving barns and dressed women.
mircea_popescu: nobody will fucking drive ~the largest target that can be found~ in the middle of chaos, what the fuck. an ustard however will find this natural.
mircea_popescu: raf dominated the east << i mean, the west, of course.
mircea_popescu: no soviets in the east ; and no cn/kr/etc permitted to fly. for same "smelly" reason, i suspect. the koreans aren't all that bad these days.
mircea_popescu: (chinese, reportedly still fucking horrible; but then again maybe in time, it's not so far from prepubescent girly olympi-perisexual displays, and they sure mastered that)
mircea_popescu: mats 100% of my us-"educated" slaves are in default. and will fucking stay in default.
mats: the editing isn’t very good, but my take is that 30% of borrowers have -at least- missed 3 payments over five years (‘students facing serious struggles’)
mircea_popescu: i have a good mind to start billing trump. "25 yo can't calculus"
mats: which is unreal. hundreds of billions in combined defaults and late payments
mircea_popescu: "oh, calculus isn't fgor everyone" "money -- also not for everyone. i'll take all yours now."
mircea_popescu: and yes the trend is agravating, 2000s born set will certainly "owe" more than 1995-2000 set which in turn about 100% more than 1990-1995 set and so fucking following.
mats: sad. kids waiting for their parents to die so they can move into their house
mircea_popescu: that's long past. parents mostly rent. and then there's medicare.

Mocky: the ones who couldn't be 'trained not to question' failed training
mircea_popescu: noncitizen soldiery. which is why all the "usarmy provided training and logistical support" etc.
