BingoBoingo: "She animatedly tells a story about a recent Tinder rendezvous: One time, I agreed to meet with this guy at 8 or 9 at night. Before we met, I said to him, This is the work I do, I know the chief of police ... so, don't try and get creepy; I know all my rights. And five minutes later, he was like, Actually, I'm really not OK with how you just assume I'm a bad guy. And I get very bad vibes from that, so we shouldn't hang
mircea_popescu: but anyway, anyone harassed (do they still do that ?) by gpl weirdos over internet-legalese, point to google, laugh.
mircea_popescu: <asciilifeform> (google uses the gpl as a urinal and has, for years. this is not, i think, a secret.) << "don't be evil"!11
asciilifeform: i cannot recommend them (or any other intel box) for 'airgapped crypto', missile control, reactor, etc.
asciilifeform: they also work ok for running lab instruments (laser, cnc, etc) while taking minimal desk space.
asciilifeform: anyway 1st step to using one of these boxes as something like a computer is reformat, naturally.
asciilifeform: (google uses the gpl as a urinal and has, for years. this is not, i think, a secret.)
asciilifeform: what, if anything, in your household calls for one of these things, i cannot say.
asciilifeform: kakobrekla: the dell is a normal intel box inside, just with weird bios.
asciilifeform: the jumper in the samsung is a circular sticker of conductive rubber in the upper edge of the mb
asciilifeform: also typically there is a write-protect jumper on the eeprom in the box, that has to be removed.
asciilifeform: Zuardi: depending on whether you have the patience, you can use 'buildroot' or similar to cook one.
asciilifeform: Zuardi: generally you gotta use crouton to reflash the rom in. after that, proper linux.
Zuardi: asciilifeform do you use crouton or have replaced the webtv completely?
asciilifeform: for some years i have experiment, on and off, with transforming them into something like a computer
asciilifeform: (the chrome-widgets come in two varieties, arm and intel)
asciilifeform l0lz at the fact that one can get a usg mil-std portable for < 300 usd new
asciilifeform: at any rate, prolactin appears to be reused in the male as 'off switch.'
mircea_popescu: after which you spend however long having lithe orgasms
mircea_popescu: the trick is, very well trained fellationist.
mircea_popescu: i am satisfied that i have had rather female orgasms.
asciilifeform: chemistry has an answer for 'i want a female orgasm damnit and fuck the consequences'
asciilifeform: and in the other one, whose name escapes me, which ~doesn't~ also slowly atrophy your heart
asciilifeform: the riddle concerned what it does in males.
mircea_popescu: "Partial isolated prolactin deficiency is rare, and case reports of total isolated prolactin deficiency are rarer still and may have a genetic component (ie, familial puerperal alactogenesis). Although the endocrine and metabolic function of prolactin is not fully understood, the clinical manifestation of prolactin deficiency is probably limited to puerperal alactogenesis." << sayeth Charles T Benson, MD, PhD
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: then - yes.
asciilifeform: ^ hm. looks like this one isn't in the logz!
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform yes, but the way this works isn't like the man in the iron mask. the way this works is to create a fetish of power. "why is X no longer Y ? how can Z become now Y ?" "it's the mask, stupid"
asciilifeform: speaking only of the particular pet, it is innocent of makeup, and has purse solely because pockets are not consistently implemented in woman's clothing
mircea_popescu: ask pet how does she square the fact that women can't be seen without makeup/their pursew with the fact that most of their existence they spend without either ?
