asciilifeform: anyway submerging is nontrivial (electrolytic caps soak up your coolant and bloat, then burst) and you can also forget about repairs or upgrade
asciilifeform: likewise submerged cooling works great for, e.g., mains transformer outdoors, but for 'point source' of heat like cpu, requires circulation pumps, which... noise

mircea_popescu: yes but there's also thermodynamic equilibrium. you only get liquid phase condensation in some cases on the curve.
asciilifeform: the other thing is that peltiers are laughably inefficient, and you are then stuck trying to cool the hot end
kakobrekla: not at my 200rpm
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: you've just confessed to having poor hearing
kakobrekla: and isolated case
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla he has bat hearing, which is why he can feed himself on mosquitoes in the dark.
asciilifeform: i can hear a laptop fan, a room away.
mircea_popescu: should he ever need to.
asciilifeform: pet says i did not go to enough 'concerts'
kakobrekla: laptop fans arent silent
mircea_popescu: i can hear the thinkpad.
asciilifeform: silent fan is a lulzy contradiction in terms
asciilifeform: the motherfucking air is MOVING
mircea_popescu: i could faintly hear it, then i had it cleaned for my sins, now i can distinctly hear it.
asciilifeform: ever hear of turbulence ?
mircea_popescu: but hey, at least it cools better.
kakobrekla: at 200 rpm the only thing you can hear is bad bearings
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform sooner or later you'll have to face the fact that the turbulence other people get isn't like the turbulence you get.
mircea_popescu: like in those cartoon "rain cloud 2x2 follows guy around"
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i get quite a bit, i use boards with >1 cpu socket even
kakobrekla: and i have done away with bad bearings
kakobrekla: it did cost a fortune but hey
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla if i recall the calculations correctly the principal harmonic should be ~285 hz if you 200rpm
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: i have fluid bearing fans here, can hear them just fine
mircea_popescu: i doubt he can hear below 15khz or so
kakobrekla: not all are same
asciilifeform: also opterons run hot.
asciilifeform: you won't get away with 200 rpm.
kakobrekla: thats another problem

asciilifeform: kakobrekla: 'fanless' ps typically relies on there being airflow from cpu+case fans
asciilifeform: (try and take one, run under 100% load on a bench with no flow, on a hot summer day)
mircea_popescu: it occurs to me, you could just get some of that aluminum foil flexible tubing stuff, plug the case in and have the vented done in the other room.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: this is louder still
mircea_popescu: well no, you serpentine the tube.
asciilifeform: the correct recipe when one has other rooms is to run the displays over fiber
asciilifeform: and have the machine far, far away.
asciilifeform: as symbolics did
mircea_popescu: also this.
kakobrekla: asciilifeform it has a fan it just doesnt run it
asciilifeform: (the thing sounds like an airplane, literally)
kakobrekla: so its not fanless.
mircea_popescu: put the big iron in the basement. check it out, BingoBoingo vax lives!
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: i run at 90-100% load on a typical day
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: i've intended to do this for 15 years, but it requires a dwelling with multiple stories
kakobrekla: get a bigger one and it will run at lower relative load :)
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: if pc ps came in 20kW, i would...
mircea_popescu: for the record, sed 's/<[^>]*//g' takes just about 1k seconds to purge a 6gb pile of webcrud into 1.5gb of pressed juice.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you got no basement ? i thought you had a house not flat
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: it is a flat house.
mircea_popescu: o wait, swamp.
mircea_popescu: what do you mean "flat house"
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: the basic problem is that there are no miracles, semiconductors have a temperature ceiling, the heat has to leave as quickly as it appears, or meltdown
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: 1 level
mircea_popescu: but it's a house, no ? it necessarily has a roof
kakobrekla: very high efficiency helps
mircea_popescu: so you got an attic.
asciilifeform: has an attic, which is entirely unsuitable for electronics
mircea_popescu: whyssat ?
asciilifeform: (boiling hot in the summer, mega-condensation in the winter, not hermetically sealed either)
mircea_popescu: bwahahah
mircea_popescu: us technologee ?
asciilifeform: understand, attics exist for insulation
asciilifeform: so a properly-constructed one would be ~worse~ place to park cpu
mircea_popescu: depends whose. but anyway - you hopefully rent this sad hovel, not own it
asciilifeform: i don't 'own' anything
mircea_popescu: get a properly made house.

mircea_popescu: what mortgage.
asciilifeform: well i assumed that's what mircea_popescu meant by 'own'. that's how poorfags in usaschwitz 'own' houses.
mircea_popescu: so have more money.
asciilifeform: i'm not sure i'd even use computers if i had Moar Money (tm) (r)
mircea_popescu: i think ima have this printed on cards. universal solution.
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: cards have 2 sides! one side shows recipe A: broomstick
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform you know i actually did the same thing ? mid 90s to mid 00s, i didn't evne own one.
asciilifeform: other, B: 'have some money'
asciilifeform: anyway none of the thermal problems are a thing on a dirigible, which comes with free airflow.
asciilifeform: so mircea_popescu does not need any of this.
asciilifeform: and i wouldn't either, if had 'moar money'
mircea_popescu: actually, i don't really give a shit about fan noise, not while im awake at any rate.

mircea_popescu: nothing fucking works. ffs.
copypaste: mircea_popescu I guess if that works. Afaik /b/ is actually logged and publicly accessible.
copypaste: I'm quoting a trilema article for the purposes of commentary
copypaste: If you give me a few minutes I'll get to the commentary :)
mircea_popescu: ok but you gotta quote better. like with quotes and source.
mircea_popescu: otherwise how am i to know
assbot: The irc world is a big but very flat place. on Trilema - A blog by Mircea Popescu. ... ( http://bit.ly/23cg5mQ )
copypaste: I was getting to that too :D
copypaste: Anywho, /b/ is archived by many third parties, but the archive sites have a maximum lifetime of 18 months. After that time, an all encompassing archive always fails.
mircea_popescu: archive.is has been around for a few years now for instance
jurov: nice how the ethereal ideal of "text" that can't be falsified in any conceivable system meets reality
copypaste: There are many reasons. Perhaps DMCA notices, perhaps the size of the archived content is too much for the derp running it to maintain, perhaps the guy running it just doesn't want to
copypaste: Ah ha, but archive.is is not just for /b/, and it doesn't strive to archive everything, only requested things.
mircea_popescu: jurov dude, srsly. for one thing, the file is 1.5gb, the available ram 4x that. EVEN IF IT READ IT AS A SINGLE LINE it should work.
copypaste: So archive.is's view of /b/ is not comparable to the #b-a log, which represents everything
mircea_popescu: but people can't fucking code.
mircea_popescu: copypaste true.
mircea_popescu: honestly, chans have to be toilet paper, who the hell is going to waste the bw/hdds for it otherwise.
copypaste: Indeed, I came to that conclusion independently
mircea_popescu: however... a wot-based chan, now that may be interesting.
mircea_popescu: you could technically run a chan off v.
copypaste: How could it work?
copypaste: I could help make one if you have an idea
copypaste: Would it still be anonymous ?
mircea_popescu: well, you could go two ways with it. one'd be, subscription driven, like a sort of twitter. one can see any content of people whose sigils they imported and nothing else.
copypaste: I don't understand how anonymity and the WoT could intersect in a meaningful way
mircea_popescu: the other would be push driven - people encrypt their photos to the keys they want to see them and no others.
mircea_popescu: neither of this would be anonymous - it would be pseudonymous.
mircea_popescu: anonimity is for idiots.
copypaste: ah, I see. So like Reddit then
mircea_popescu: either way a random cs-illiterate third party would not see anything.
copypaste: I've actually never even heard of a chan with forced usernames
mircea_popescu: so like twitter-reddit on sane-tor
copypaste: Much less forcing GPG keys
mircea_popescu: copypaste how are they forced ? you run gpg and make a key. whatever it comes out.
mircea_popescu: can make one key per post if you want.
mircea_popescu: ideally you replace the browser entirely, also. run as a sort of torrent.
copypaste: I see. It could have an option then to see posts not in your WoT
copypaste: Then to see posts in your Level 1 WoT, Level 2 only and so on
copypaste: I think it's a cool idea
mircea_popescu: depends which model you choose. if people encrypt their output, there's jack you can do
copypaste: No need for encryption, perhaps as an option only. Signing is just as well.
copypaste: If I get a WoTchan working, I'll link it here.
mircea_popescu: did you read the part about fuck the browser, also ?
copypaste: If I have I don't recall
mircea_popescu: <mircea_popescu> ideally you replace the browser entirely, also. run as a sort of torrent. <
mircea_popescu: just fork gnutella or whatever to serve as your basis. add a render engine, and you're g2g.
mircea_popescu: no longer need to host servers, bother with "laws" and similar bullshit. if people like your shit they'll run it.
copypaste: Not bad
mircea_popescu: if not, a well. less bw.
copypaste: Gnutella did work well
mircea_popescu: but you and the people who like it can STILL run it.
mircea_popescu: basically, the correct way to implement this, is to have a "universal" key and have people encrypt to whatever keys they want. if they include the universal, then it's public. if they don't, then only whoever they encrypted to can see it.
mircea_popescu: and now V also becomes a chan soft.
deedbot-: accepted: 1
mircea_popescu: copypaste it'll take a while to implement, you'll have to pull in gpg too, and some other shit. but once done it does obsolete current chanology. i can't conceive who or how could run a chan anymore on anything else.
copypaste: I especially like the part about no centralized hosting
copypaste: I have a friend who is now working for fluffypony and Monero on adding I2P to that coin (perhaps the work is already finished)
mircea_popescu: it's really not THAT hard to do, in the sense that all the needed parts already exist, even if not perfect.
mircea_popescu: so it's not one of those "shit me a micron" sort of jobs.
copypaste: But before he was doing that, he was making a distributed chan using the NNTP protocol and Tor/I2P
fluffypony: copypaste: psi?
fluffypony: oh he's awesome

phf: yeah, i'm lost with the terminology. my view into the lazy world is through hipster bums, like crust punks and gypsters, and they are not very precise with their terminolgoy, or else they latch on to some word and aggressively use it to self identify

mircea_popescu: well... you know, random technician in factory may well not know wtf he's doing also.
mircea_popescu: punkman the bum is not violent. generally "below" would go towards more violence.
mircea_popescu: a knave, well antiquated by now, would technically denote a "child of better means who is now destitute and agressive out of survived entitlement". a word lafond's looking for.

ascii_butugychag: not exclusively.
mircea_popescu: much like irl it's pretty much the "home nat router" that is the problem.
ascii_butugychag: but yeah, there is a thick layer of them between us and mines.
thestringpuller: the hearnia is removed, the ecological contamination remains
ascii_butugychag: the thing that always bothered me about bitcoin is that miners are basically opportunistic vermin
ascii_butugychag: and a machine that relies on cockroaches in whatever capacity, is what kind of machine.
mircea_popescu: anyway. i've moved my tx fee from 0.0001 (~4 cents) to 0.00022 (bout a dime, give or take).

BingoBoingo: ascii_butugychag: Hey, a fallback plan is a fallback plan
mircea_popescu: so in other news, seeing how the next halving happens to more or less coincide with the expected next usg attempt to "save" bitcoin,
mircea_popescu: i imagine we'll be hearing a lot about how, and to quote,
ascii_butugychag: mircea_popescu: 'life on earth' is not an instrument, i don't push buttons on it and expect a timely response
mircea_popescu: "Then knowledgeable people complain that the evil financial network is heading for disaster, that the government sponsored enterprises are about to cause a "collapse of the total financial system", as Wallison and Alan Greenspan complained in 2005, the government debates shrinking the evil government sponsored enterprises, as with "S. 190 [109th]: Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005" but they find
mircea_popescu: easy money too seductive, and S. 190 goes down in flames before a horde of political activists chanting that easy money is sound, and opposing it is racist, nazi, ignorant, and generally hateful, the recent S. 190 debate on limiting portfolios (bond issue supporting dud mortgages) by government sponsored enterprises being a perfect reprise of the debates on limiting the issue of new assignats in the 1790s."
mircea_popescu: ascii_butugychag neither is bitcoin.
mircea_popescu: your "push button, i matter" mental model is only applicable here inasmuch as you're hypocritical enough to go "i planted tree, and got an apple, therefore am in control" sorta thing.
copypaste: mircea_popescu: i've heard some saying that miners won't "allow" the halving to occur because they would never "vote for" something so against their "best interest"...these people don't understand the social contract behind bitcoin of course, or even that miners don't vote on anything but who gets 25BTC
mircea_popescu: otherwise... no. zero control and no buttons.
mircea_popescu: copypaste no, "these people" who aren't in any sort of sense people are merely laying the ground work for "the next battle", as they perceive the string of endless humiliations and buttrapes they receive.
mircea_popescu: it's kinda funny to me, because the vermin they regard as their progenitors, various "social rights activists" and whatnot benefitted from a context where each defeat made eventual victory more likely.
BingoBoingo: ^ Populist "Hegelianism"
mircea_popescu: the situation here is EXACTLY opposite, but they obviously lack anything other than the zombie drive.
mircea_popescu: braaaaainzzzz
copypaste: as far as i'm concerned at this point any bitcoin hardfork is an altcoin and every softfork is a way to give free coins to miners at some later date

mircea_popescu: The human incentive to adopt this chain would be incredibly low though as everyone has GregCoins now and any exchange that decides to allow arbitrage between the two chains is going to see huge dumps onto the GregCoin chain which will quickly obliterate the price.

pete_dushenski: ascii_butugychag: you live in usistan and ~don't~ buy organic fruits&vegetables ? not that 'usda organic' is much to go on, nor that it's readily distinguishable which of the 35 ~other~ organic brands is meaningful, but none of them are worse than "normal", ie. tasteless tomatoes
ascii_butugychag: pete_dushenski: i sure as fuck buy. but also understand that i am stuck paying for voodoo claptrap at the same time as the reduced poison, you cannot bid for them separately
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 01:38:03; asciilifeform: e.g. there is no 'i don't care if the chicken ate gmo corn but please no antibiotic' shop
assbot: Logged on 03-09-2015 01:37:31; asciilifeform: the other interesting thing is that the market is segmented in such a way that anyone who doesn't want mcfood ends up paying for ~all~ the alt-crackpotteries, not merely the logical ones
ascii_butugychag: i can buy 'organic' veggies, but it is MANDATORILY in a shop that also sells homeopathic cures.
pete_dushenski: market for rich folks isn't infinitely deep, what.
ascii_butugychag: (except for when the farmer's market is in season)
pete_dushenski: it's like whining that eizo doesn't make 40" vertical monitors with 1mm bezels
pete_dushenski: and 600 dpi. b&w
ascii_butugychag: nah more like whining that one can't get 400 dpi panel except from crapple
ascii_butugychag: which happens to be, afaik, true
pete_dushenski: ascii_butugychag: normal grocery store doesn't sell organic veggies in dc ??!
pete_dushenski: this is sop here. even cut-cost grocers.
ascii_butugychag: pete_dushenski: they sometimes ~claim~ to, and it tastes like shit
pete_dushenski: aha. there's that too, yes.
ascii_butugychag: i'm talking about actual, vs. claimed.
gribble: Time since last block: 37 seconds
ascii_butugychag: this is the other thing, why should i give A FUCK about PROVENANCE
ascii_butugychag: when all i care about is taste and poison - the latter is objectively quantifiable
ascii_butugychag: provenance is a proxy for physical fact
ascii_butugychag: i'm not buying rembrandts
pete_dushenski: what kind of fucking anti-wot thinking is that ?!
pete_dushenski: nihil fit ex nihilo
ascii_butugychag: think about it
ascii_butugychag: if it were possible to 'replicate' a prime grade tomato, for the cost of mains power, would you eat it ?
pete_dushenski: how do you intend to determine lack of poison w/o provenance exactly ?
ascii_butugychag: with a gc/ms ?
ascii_butugychag: perhaps i'll hire PeterL to do it.
ascii_butugychag: iirc he specializes in this.
ascii_butugychag: y'know, what dope aficionados do for dope
ascii_butugychag: take a spectrum.
ascii_butugychag: gc, ms, ir, nmr, etc
pete_dushenski: for every tomato....
ascii_butugychag: who said 'every.'
pete_dushenski: sounds like a make-work project for the slave army you don't have
pete_dushenski: w/o provenance, there is only every.
ascii_butugychag: it would be regardless. because provenance guarantees nothing, the soil in which perfectly traditional tomato grew could have strontium, etc.
ascii_butugychag: and obviously we cannot dispense with provenance. but i must point out that it is a ~proxy~
ascii_butugychag: rather than the thing actually sought after
ascii_butugychag: does this make sense ?
pete_dushenski: looks to me like you're trying to cleave uncleavables
pete_dushenski: like you want organic spherical carrots made in attic
ascii_butugychag: they are only uncleavables because of tech limitations
ascii_butugychag: rather than philosophically.
pete_dushenski: here we go...
ascii_butugychag: if i could grep a tomato, they would be entirely cleavable.
pete_dushenski: like autonomous cars and benevolent robo-lords ?
danielpbarron: what ascii says about food in d.c. is also true in ct. I must go to the stupid hippy store in which most of the aisles are full of overpriced overhyped nonsense just to get the meat and veggies that actually taste alright and aren't poisoned. At least these hippy stores are frequented by the yoga pants wearing chicks though. The megastores are full of fat zombies; I'd pay extra just to not have to shop around them
jurov: there is no economic incentive for your food controllers not to cheat
ascii_butugychag: i happen to see reasoning about items glued together by happenstance as if they were intrinsically the same, as lame.
pete_dushenski: it's physical reality. it's what it is
pete_dushenski: yes, it has limitations. what of it.
ascii_butugychag: pete_dushenski: it is my particular profession to make cuts in it.
pete_dushenski: this isn't software that you just punch a few letters and delete a few lines and voila, new physical reality
jurov: ascii_butugychag: you need food controllers in your wot.. and then simpler to have producers directly
ascii_butugychag: pete_dushenski: i don't personally 'gm'. at least, not any more.
jurov: how is this solvable by tech?
BingoBoingo: What, yall can't jsut tear up a chunk of yard and toss some seeds on the ground?
ascii_butugychag: jurov: detecting some of the more common adulterants is not hard at all
ascii_butugychag: that you cannot buy a ready instrument for this at the local hardware shop, is a political phenomenon
ascii_butugychag: vs engineering limit
jurov: missing nutrients are equally as big problem as adulterants
jurov: now go try to ennumerate all of them
ascii_butugychag: that's sorta what your mouth is for
ascii_butugychag: it - ordinarily - works.
pete_dushenski: danielpbarron: yoga pants chicks are in both kinds of stores here, but i guess our "normal" grocery stores in alberta are fucking deeeelux in 99.999% of the world. the hippie stores here aren't so bad but their staffs are beyond useless and the sanitation is definitely sub-par.
ascii_butugychag: pete_dushenski: try to understand the perspective of inventor. for x,xxx years churchmen prattled on about sex and reproduciton 'cannot cut apart'. and now they can go get stuffed.
pete_dushenski: save-on-foods by my place is like the fucking kadewe in berlin
ascii_butugychag: the whole point of engineering is to cut apart the happenstance-linked crud from what you actually want.
jurov: ascii_butugychag: but your tech solution stems from not having to taste everything, or?
jurov: and if you can't detect adulterants, why do you think you can detect all nutrients?
jurov: by taste

pete_dushenski: ascii_butugychag: inventor made domes and pills, yes, but 'rhythm method' ?
pete_dushenski: not that 'rhythm method' is anywhere near perfect, but better than 'always is a good time'

ascii_butugychag: circa 1990s
danielpbarron has never had a cavity or tooth pulled :D
ascii_butugychag: but yes, discussion was ~specifically~ re: known adulterants
mircea_popescu: i'd take provenance over "known list"
mircea_popescu: because i know a lot more about a clean spot than you';ll know about your list.
mircea_popescu: "my folk lived here 2400 years"
mircea_popescu: beat that.
ascii_butugychag: i can think of a few very gamma-backgroundy places where 'my folk lived 2400 y'
mircea_popescu: nevertheless, the argument is made. now it's a matter of quantification.
jurov: ascii_butugychag: do you approach this way the software you're going to use too? just check for known adulterants?

ascii_butugychag: seems like nobody grasped the actual point i was trying to make - where the provenance is a means to an end (clean tomato) rather than the end
ascii_butugychag: but i can't think of any reason why anyone should give a fuck re: the difference presently, so count me as sold
mircea_popescu: <ascii_butugychag> jurov: that would be hilariously stupid ? << loller.

mircea_popescu: but alfie! MITIGATITS!
ascii_butugychag: thing is, ascertaining anything useful about software is undecidable
jurov: same with food, again
mircea_popescu: you think too highly of chem analytics. also undecidable.
ascii_butugychag: depends, again, what you're looking for (specific item, or general toxicology - which ~is~ undecidable)
mircea_popescu: are you looking for working software or merely software that never croaks on like 666 ?

SamPatt: Ponzi schemes are just fraud, there's nothing of value being done. What I'm trying to get across is that with Bitcoin something of value is actually happening (transactions).
mircea_popescu: anyway, you have more patience than i do, the nth bhagwan chowdhry is really no different from the n-1th
mircea_popescu: SamPatt transactions also happened with the original ponzi.
SamPatt: Only transactions relating to the scheme, correct? Perhaps I'm not familiar with the original scheme itself, but as Ponzi scheme is regularly defined today it's just taking in new money to give returns to older players. There's no transactions occurring except to continue this fraud.
mircea_popescu: but those are in point of fact transactions.
mircea_popescu: you know the excellent "Color of bits" essay ?
SamPatt: Unless he's proposing that all Bitcoin transactions are only being done to perpetuate further fraud then it's not a ponzi. Since I use Bitcoin for transactions that are for other purposes, it's clearly not ponzi

asciilifeform: possibly other 'low-end' amd
asciilifeform: but, importantly,
asciilifeform: not for long.
asciilifeform: that much is obvious.
asciilifeform: according to the libreboot link, amd has fully caught up with intel in re: usgtronics.
asciilifeform: gernika: very generally, but yes

asciilifeform: iirc it is a 'stable' fork of coreboot
punkman: nah, the difference is they don't allow any blobs
asciilifeform: fwiw the pcengines boards and the 'gizmo' series don't even ship with proprietary bios at all
punkman: maybe nobody's done it yet
asciilifeform: punkman: the g-series coreboot i have here has 'blobs' per the strictest definition, they are - iirc - modify but don't redistribute - licensed by amd
asciilifeform: but came with the src.

asciilifeform: so i will review, for the benefit of non-panzers, the current state
asciilifeform: presently trb does not have this sane behaviour
asciilifeform: it can run in one of two modes, '-connect' where it services a fixed list of peers, AND NOBODY ELSE (no incoming tcp)
asciilifeform: or '-addnode' where it takes a list of peers but 'as mere suggestions' and will happily drop'em, and connect to random derps
asciilifeform: the first mode can be disregarded as it does not result in a public node. it is useful for running hotwallets on your own lan, for running mircea_popescu-style 'dark' nodes over ad hoc vpn with kim jong il, etc.
asciilifeform: the second mode is what all of my trb boxen are set to, and it results in a comedy where the thing routinely drops friends on the floor and dallies about attempting to connect to randomly-selected derp ips
mircea_popescu: prolly next to fix huh
mircea_popescu: tho it's tangled with the whole mempool priority thing
ben_vulpes: tangled how?
asciilifeform: not really, no
mircea_popescu: how do you know how to value "others"
asciilifeform: they rank STRICTLY below hand-picked peers.
mircea_popescu: among themselves i mean.
asciilifeform: i am contemplating a strictly 2-tiered hierarchy here.
mircea_popescu: and how much is "strictly" in integers
mircea_popescu: seems to me if gonna do it might as well do it once, but anyway.
asciilifeform: 'strictly' means that door-knockers get serviced ONLY when friends are idle.
asciilifeform: i've held off attempting to do anything about this because 'usg can diddle packets arbitrarily, we need gossipd' but there is no particular logic to this.
mircea_popescu: this will never occur.
mircea_popescu: think of how the mempool flows
asciilifeform: gotta quantize the processing.
asciilifeform: i.e. meter resource consumption per peer.
asciilifeform: stray dogs ought to get the crumbs off the table.

asciilifeform: and i dare say that this will become more apparent as 'axe time, sword time' carries on

BingoBoingo: It's also not like I can go into the yard and pluck a tomatoe for breakfast in the middle of winter
BingoBoingo still in recovery. It is through the strategic superiority of #b-a that I stopped being a drunk ass online in time to enjoy the irony of USGToomim Mark M be a stoned ass online
phf: i know a few aa people, seems like it helped them to get their drinking under control
BingoBoingo: It seems to work better for some people than others.
phf: i know this guy, a master carpenter, he builds wooden structures at burning man (infrastructural stuff, not "art"). he's been clean for 30 years now, but it's a constant aa-ing for him. "an acoholic can never be free", etc. i guess it's working for him, but it's hell of depressing mindset
BingoBoingo: Eh, he's also weighing it against the alternative.
BingoBoingo: Some people, like prolly myself, prolly really shouldn't be drinking.
BingoBoingo: At least not in American society as it is presently structured
BingoBoingo: But I was born too late to be a Viking beserker
phf: i agree, for all the jokes about russian vodka, this is a country of functioning alcoholics, with no outlet.
phf: 9-5, couple of beers to wind down, friday evening everyone gets shit faced at a bar, year after year.
phf: combined with sedentary lifestyle..
danielpbarron: http://www.atruechurch.info/aa.html >> A.A. admits they have no cure, but that's because they are under the delusion that there isn't one.

BingoBoingo: Given the demographic, I doubt the 12 steps could help very many alcoholics and addicts if they were stictly remade in A True Church (TM)(R)
mats: rofl
mats: >But I was born too late to be a Viking beserker
danielpbarron: nobody can be helped if God hasn't created them for the purpose of being helped.
BingoBoingo: Maybe at some point a few people can graduate from AA to A True Church, but atm I am happy with the job Brodin the Allspotter is doing as my higher power. Wheymen.
BingoBoingo: Anyways in Chapter 5 of the Big Book "How It Works" they mention the goal is spiritual progress, not spiritual perfection.
mats: can emigrate to hood and go into battle whenever you feel like it
danielpbarron: it's a false spirit, one that doesn't save
BingoBoingo: Bill W's ibogaine trip in the hospital seemed to work enoug to get the ball rolling.

danielpbarron: >> The influence of the A.A. society has been massive and widespread. A.A. cooperates with a large variety of groups which includes the U. S. court system. Judges often order people to be involved in A.A. as a part of a rehabilitation effort.
BingoBoingo: The courts system is more inflicted upon AA.
BingoBoingo: People sent by the courts often aren't ready for step 1 and many times violate the criteria for membership by not having a desire to quit drinking as outlined in tradition 3.
danielpbarron: >> 12. - And finally, we of Alcoholics Anonymous believe that the principle of anonymity has an immense spiritual significance.
BingoBoingo: Or course AA was Anons before chantards were. "Principles before Personalities"
BingoBoingo: Also some people relapse which would be embarassing in the organization had a bunch of public faces.
danielpbarron: but they are anon for the exact same reason >> They keep it anonymous, because they are evil and they do not want themselves and their evil deeds to be exposed, as it is written, Everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. (John 3:20)
BingoBoingo: It is written in the Big Book "Many of us exclaimed, "What an order! I can't go through with it." Do not be discouraged. No one among us has been able to maintain anything like perfect adherence to these principles. We are not saints. The point is, that we are willing to grow along spiritual lines. The principles we have set down are guides to progress. We claim spiritual progress rather than spiritual perfection." page 60
