(trilema) nubbins`: BingoBoingo XD
(trilema) nubbins`: jurov does god have a peepee or a slit?
(trilema) nubbins`: fuck its intended use
(trilema) nubbins`: i prefer to use "they" as a gender neutral pronoun
(trilema) nubbins`: it's a hobby
(trilema) nubbins`: "everyone must have zher books" is categorically NOT less awkward than any other english sentence that does not contain the "word" "zher"
(trilema) nubbins`: also, "less awkward"
(trilema) nubbins`: funny, i automatically thought that i must have the books of all others.
(trilema) nubbins`: Save us from confusing grammar such as “everyone must have their books.” Make it instead “everyone must have zher books.” It then becomes clear that each person must have one’s own book and not the books of all the others. It is also shorter and less awkward than having to say “his or her” all the time.
(trilema) nubbins`: nevermind that "zher" sounds like fucking diarrhoea
(trilema) nubbins`: perhaps obummer will start doing precisely this
(trilema) nubbins` sobs uncontrollably
(trilema) nubbins`: "And if some high official, such as the president, says zhe will use gender-neutral pronouns for zher own writing, and ask that those writing to zhim do so also, that would provide a powerful boost."
(trilema) nubbins`: it's a thing thing
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah, because you'd say "gave one a treat", not "gave it a treat"
(trilema) nubbins`: "The pronoun “one” would not do here: “One was walking one’s dog down the street and then gave one a treat”"
(trilema) nubbins`: why are they using a gender-neutral pronoun for the fucking DOG?
(trilema) nubbins`: "Zhe was walking zher dog down the street and then gave zhim a treat."
(trilema) nubbins`: ;;google zhe zhis
(trilema) nubbins`: CR is so passe
(trilema) nubbins`: ;;ident danielpbarron
(trilema) nubbins`: kakobrekla i think he's concerned about the fact that the "danielpbarron" behind that link isn't necessarily the one in-chan?
(trilema) nubbins`: danielpbarron i was almost forced to make fun of him in his vaccines thread
(trilema) nubbins`: it bothers me that he insists on capitalizing my name
(trilema) nubbins`: o wow, an i-hate-nubs thread that i didn't unsubscribe from

(trilema) nubbins`: BingoBoingo ehh maybe
(trilema) nubbins`: we do have a set of screen-drying cupboards i could christen "nubrub", i guess

(trilema) nubbins`: sorta like how nobody actually lols when they say lol.
(trilema) nubbins`: like, irc horrified
(trilema) nubbins`: most of you will be literally horrified to learn that all my art assets are stored in Dropbox.

(trilema) nubbins`: bbl things
(trilema) nubbins`: scroll up, i've passed out from both and can compare
(trilema) nubbins`: danielpbarron FWIW this is completely different from n2o buzz 8)
(trilema) nubbins`: i know N2H used to be common for this purpose.
(trilema) nubbins`: it's just kids
(trilema) nubbins`: who cares?
(trilema) nubbins`: it's cheaper, obvs
(trilema) nubbins`: all the whipped cream is probably using elemental hydrogen as a propellant, then.
(trilema) nubbins`: an affront to your ego
(trilema) nubbins`: feelsbad.png
(trilema) nubbins`: also the second time i took the bait ;(
(trilema) nubbins`: i think this is the second time mp tried to tell me my subective experience was incorrect
(trilema) nubbins`: oh hi, the rest of freenode
(trilema) nubbins`: nevermind that you're literally rupturing the canisters with a fuckin spike
(trilema) nubbins`: those fools!
(trilema) nubbins`: totally, it's the same cost to make a vessel resistant to twice the pressure. 8)
(trilema) nubbins`: so... suck it. ;/
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu, Adlai: in fact, you need 2x the amount of pressure to keep n2 liquid.
(trilema) nubbins`: at least, that's what i hear.
(trilema) nubbins`: and cooking spray spit all over your house.
(trilema) nubbins`: if you're slow, you get a terrible, terrible taste in your mouth without any neat flames
(trilema) nubbins`: if you're quick, you can spray some into your mouth and breathe fire
(trilema) nubbins`: fun fact, cooking sprays generally use propane/butane
(trilema) nubbins`: Adlai it's one of my failings
(trilema) nubbins`: no kidding
(trilema) nubbins`: (1) is suspicious
(trilema) nubbins`: (2) does sound like the more reasonable one
(trilema) nubbins` nods slowly
(trilema) nubbins`: so our options are: (1) n2o is actually n2o and there's a reason why n2 won't cut it. or (2) all n2o is n2, without exception, and every single person who knows this secret isn't telling.
(trilema) nubbins`: sounds like you've got this conspiracy cracked wide open
(trilema) nubbins`: so the premium fuel i'm putting into my car is actually regular grade?
(trilema) nubbins`: like, actually.
(trilema) nubbins`: that's retarded
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm not sure why you think there's an industry-wide conspiracy and that all whipped cream canisters are intentionally mislabelled?
(trilema) nubbins`: i'm no chemist, but maybe if we asked someone qualified, they'd be able to give an actual answer
(trilema) nubbins`: of course o2 isn't there
(trilema) nubbins`: "it produces whipped cream four times the volume of the liquid, whereas whipping air into cream only produces twice the volume. If air were used as a propellant, oxygen would accelerate rancidification of the butterfat; nitrous oxide inhibits such degradation. Carbon dioxide cannot be used for whipped cream because it is acidic in water, which would curdle the cream and give it a seltzer-like "sparkling" sensation."
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu i'd imagine it would
(trilema) nubbins`: srsly, howstuffworks.
(trilema) nubbins`: foaming ("whipping") it in the process
(trilema) nubbins`: the n2o releases itself from the cream
(trilema) nubbins`: when this is released into the atmosphere
(trilema) nubbins`: now you have liquid cream filled with n2o.
(trilema) nubbins`: if the container is pressurized, the n2o will dissolve into the cream.
(trilema) nubbins`: add heavy cream to a canister.
(trilema) nubbins`: you're nuts.
(trilema) nubbins`: well the fat solubility is what whips the cream.
(trilema) nubbins`: (guessing)
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu plain n2 is probably not fat soluble.
(trilema) nubbins`: unless they buy n2o cartridges from the restaurant supply store.
(trilema) nubbins`: every hospital does.
(trilema) nubbins`: most dentist's offices have n2o on tap.
(trilema) nubbins`: yeah, "NOS" is n2o.
(trilema) nubbins`: well, it depends. what do i want to use it for?
(trilema) nubbins`: ;;google air liquide
(trilema) nubbins`: ok, let's take Air Liquide for an example
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu while co2 canisters are popular, they're a different size and generally used for paintball/bb guns
(trilema) nubbins`: Adlai every day is a winding road
(trilema) nubbins`: <--has also held breath til unconsciousness (!)
(trilema) nubbins`: <--has also tried whippets
(trilema) nubbins`: <--has been high on medical-grade n2o
(trilema) nubbins`: also FWIW as long as your air has, what, 15-20% oxygen, you're fine
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu FWIW asphyxia is a completely different buzz.
(trilema) nubbins`: the trip lasts almost precisely as long as you can hold your breath.
(trilema) nubbins`: mircea_popescu it's precisely n2o.
(trilema) nubbins`: of course it is.
(trilema) nubbins`: skip the cream, buy the canisters.
(trilema) nubbins`: couple bucks
(trilema) nubbins`: like a buck a hit!
(trilema) nubbins`: ...they are.
(trilema) nubbins`: "actually, take the word 'like' out of there"
(trilema) nubbins`: paused to think
(trilema) nubbins`: after hemming and hawing for a bit, i said "it's like doing whippets until you pass out"
(trilema) nubbins`: Adlai i can recall trying to explain to someone what it's like being put to sleep by "gas" when in the hospital
(trilema) nubbins`: same lecture series, ~90 years later
(trilema) nubbins` highly recommends Sagan's "the varieties of scientific experience"
(trilema) nubbins`: hey, it ended with a quote from "the varieties of religious experience"
(trilema) nubbins`: why did this man feel that taking 400mcg of LSD, alone, in a rowboat, in the middle of a lake, in nepal, was a good idea?
(trilema) nubbins`: BUT WHO WILL HOLD MY HAND
(trilema) nubbins`: actually i guess i can do this myself right on the page
(trilema) nubbins`: mp addy plox
(trilema) nubbins`: "Have you ever traveled, beyond all mere metaphors, to the Mountain of Shame and stayed for a thousand years? I do not recommend it."
(trilema) nubbins`: i'll read it next week 8)
(trilema) nubbins`: dat lack of credits
(trilema) nubbins`: "I can think of no right more fundamental than the right to peacefully steward the contents of one’s own consciousness."
(trilema) nubbins` prepares to write a list
(trilema) nubbins`: that'd buy you between one and three beers at a bar, depending on your tolerance for seediness
(trilema) nubbins`: $15 for 8 hours of fun
(trilema) nubbins`: ehh pretty close.
(trilema) nubbins`: ;;google $15 in 1999 dollars
(trilema) nubbins`: $15 a tab seems to be dark-market standard these days
(trilema) nubbins`: not available in my region ;/
(trilema) nubbins`: in this regard
(trilema) nubbins`: well. "cheapest" is dimensionless
(trilema) nubbins`: but yeah, straight up, the actual cheapest drug to produce once you're set up
(trilema) nubbins`: details are lost to memory
(trilema) nubbins`: actually maybe that was their wholesale rate
(trilema) nubbins`: marginal cost was like $0.29 per hit?
(trilema) nubbins`: those missile silo guys
(trilema) nubbins`: (c) it was underpriced to begin with
(trilema) nubbins`: but (a) inflation (b) who cares
(trilema) nubbins`: it's twice the cost of the late 90s/early 00s
(trilema) nubbins`: now when you buy LSD from a guy off the street, it's actually LSD.
(trilema) nubbins`: anyway. silk road came along. it died, others followed.
(trilema) nubbins`: Adlai you don't say?
(trilema) nubbins`: because it turns out people are perfectly willing to buy 2-5i-NBOMe.
(trilema) nubbins`: and people stop misrepresenting what they're selling.
(trilema) nubbins`: then SR comes around and there's a category for LSD and a category for NBOMe
(trilema) nubbins`: always sold as LSD, because who the fuck wants to buy something called 2-5i-NBOMe?
(trilema) nubbins`: for the better part of a decade, NBOMe was the ONLY "acid" you could get on the street.
(trilema) nubbins`: active at very low doses -- enough to fit on blotter -- and similar enough to LSD that those who hadn't dosed before could mistake it for the real thing
(trilema) nubbins`: in 2006, 2-5I-NBOmE or however the fuck it's spelled was created
(trilema) nubbins`: danielpbarron now here's an interesting thing.
(trilema) nubbins`: Adlai i mean the RCs on SR were mostly fake.
(trilema) nubbins` shakes head
(trilema) nubbins`: "i think i can feel it coming on"
(trilema) nubbins`: review left on 5-MeO-DMT: "nice effect"
(trilema) nubbins`: nevermind that most of those were undoubtably fake.
(trilema) nubbins`: kept young white kids outta the hard parts of town
(trilema) nubbins`: it was DESIGNED for the petty stuff.
(trilema) nubbins`: Adlai "ideally" the first time someone buys weed from you, they're not a repeat customer
(trilema) nubbins`: 1) hit up the park and ask the hippies 2) hit up the alley and ask the sketchbag 3) pop on SR and purchase from a trusted vendor with a list of ratings
(trilema) nubbins`: suppose you moved to a new city and you wanna get lifted
(trilema) nubbins`: ^ from a stranger
(trilema) nubbins`: <+nubbins`> it's just as moronic for someone to move a kilo of cocaine on a dark market as it is for someone to buy a personal amount of pot from a stranger, in person.
(trilema) nubbins`: but let's rewind a bit...
(trilema) nubbins`: danielpbarron sure. and with smaller markets comes less risk, as reputation becomes more important.
(trilema) nubbins`: what am i gonna do, put a warning post on craigslist?
(trilema) nubbins`: because there's nowhere i can "leave a rating" in meatspacethat will follow him around?
(trilema) nubbins`: leave him a rating?
(trilema) nubbins`: guy shortchanges you by half and grins at you while he's doing it. whatcha gonna do?
(trilema) nubbins`: generally the purchaser in a face-to-face transaction is at a distinct disadvantage.
(trilema) nubbins`: that the two activities carry significantly differing levels of risk is worth noting, but this point aside, they're equally nonsensical.
(trilema) nubbins`: it's just as moronic for someone to move a kilo of cocaine on a dark market as it is for someone to buy a personal amount of pot from a stranger, in person.
(trilema) nubbins`: padded envelopes filled with party.
(trilema) nubbins`: not kilos of coke, not guns, porn, assassinations, etc
(trilema) nubbins`: personal amounts of recreational drugs.
(trilema) nubbins`: consider: what is every dark market currently selling as their #1 product?
(trilema) nubbins`: that this sort of thing directly led to its demise is no coincidence
(trilema) nubbins`: its purpose was never, ever to do something as ludicrous as move a kilo of cocaine
(trilema) nubbins`: (but so did dpr, in the end)
(trilema) nubbins`: also FWIW i think mp et al precisely misunderstood the function of silk road
(trilema) nubbins`: BingoBoingo:DPR, literally the guy who wasn't good enough to sling dope as a profession <<< if he'd stuck to website admin, his actual job, he'd prolly still be out there
(trilema) nubbins`: *:asciilifeform wonders if he's the only fella here who has never rage-smashed a keyboard, pNohe, pNablet, ..., etc <<< i rage-smashed a set of folding binoculars at around age 8, broke the little compass on top. wept bitterly at the loss, resolved to only smash things i didn't value from then on
