diana_coman: capital was moved to Bucharest precisely because it was in the middle of the plains and easily accessible /plundered + not far on horseback from across Danube; so escape routes & hiding places make sense
diana_coman: ah, yes, several rounds of catacombs as it were; the oldest should be indeed in the "old centre"-cismigiu park - mitropolie area but then others leading further out as well; not very much is made public on them though

mircea_popescu: but i'm not about to sit here and believe the washington post matters politically or some such nonsense, am i.
mircea_popescu: there's no credible source as to how the whole nixon impeachment thing was entirely over people pissed off at vietnam, either.
mircea_popescu: "general knowledge of they in the know" is the best i can do for sourcing. how do you know "how things were" ?
asciilifeform: any source other than herr pacepa for this detail ?
asciilifeform: but there are cases where a 2-3y poison would make sense, and sov chronicles are replete with insinuations that at least 1 such, existed

mircea_popescu: you recall the wankery i took out of luminous in its ascension towards superluminous, with the "toxic blood" that then got retconned into "platonic paramour for some reason got the same brand so i can keep hoping because she cares about this but there's no cuckolding undertone here" ?

mircea_popescu: this is known from legal practice, man comes to argue thing he has read in the law. meanwhile courts, in their attempt to emulate life, work by legal practice not by legal textbook.
mircea_popescu: i am not debating liposolubility as a concept. i am pointing out to you that a) you've no basis for your claim that random item stolen from textbook is effectual here and b) that there's good reason to believe otherwise.

asciilifeform: the ‘cancer weapon’ on other hand is quite realistic, and for it to not show on any ordinary detector is also realistic, asciilifeform knows very well one possible variant of such a thing

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1730047 << i sat down to write something quite similar, and then realized that i can milk a remote node for its rsa privkey via timing , lol. but fast forward to today. ffa still on track for release for end of nov. btw.

asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1730032 << it's as reliable as the lift in a sov apt block
asciilifeform: the problem is where to host, if publicly accessible it needs potentially massive bandwidth, and if not public, is a fucking pain ( i won't be entering pw or whatever nonsense every time i want to click a link, wtf )
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 22:29 mircea_popescu: thatg aside, the more pressing problem is that we don't have a proper pdf-decrufter, (random moron with delusions of self-impoirtance failed to be useful, as you prolly recall), and if we're going to do something by hand this'd be more sorely needed than that.
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1730023 << pdf decrufter is similar item to graphical-www archiver, it is turing-complete op, and requires either absolutely correct soft (e.g. adatronic 100%) or sacrificial publictoilet iron.
asciilifeform: while the thing stays up and appears to work, it is spottily useful, like google cache et al. but to suggest to build it permanently into infrastructure is nonsense, and i can only assume mircea_popescu had a strong bottle when suggested it
asciilifeform: and even if it stays up, author is a wotless heathen, can be relied on to, e.g., supply logs to enemy, insert boobytraps , lose or modify stored material, one day.
asciilifeform: and author did ~not~ write 'html defucker', by all indications he has a headless browser which infects just like other graphical wwwtrons and is public toilet
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 22:28 mircea_popescu: the principal impediment to republican logging, atm, is that nobod yucan be arsed to write a html de-fucker ; there is one already written, by the archive.is dood, which spits out zips. the solutions then are either a) piggyback on that, which alf has (irresponsibly) been trying to obstruct throughout, and in the laughablest of manners or else b) make own, which will without exception require making own, and RIGHT NOW, not "n
asciilifeform: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1730021 << archive.is is a (not esp. reliable, and easily, often, blocked by enemy) central point of failure, and to put further pressure on it is screaming lunacy
mod6: yeah, kinda interesting little project there.
mod6: there's also a few other things mentioned in the thread above.
a111: Logged on 2017-10-27 22:13 mod6: and it was pretty nifty that it had archived all of the pastes.
lobbes: seems like that's been the main (only?) demand so far: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-10-27#1729991
lobbes: fwiw in the short-term, I may have lobbesbot start archiving wotpastes only and host them to my personal www

BingoBoingo: In other news, Apple's "car play" infotainment software is coming to... The 2018 Honda Goldwing (2-wheels), this is sure to be lulzy
BingoBoingo: Without the drinking to forget, all that remains is a big meatsack full of resentments.
BingoBoingo: Yeah. Companion phrase is "The second best treatment for the alcoholic problems is booze"
