ben_vulpes extracted a apple extended keyboard ii from the parental domus this morning, only to find that a) the capslock key has a physical lock and b) apparently needs some nutty 'teensy' micro to turn the ancient proprietary 'apple device bus' serial format into usb; and turning it into serial is apparently Just Not Done

ben_vulpes: http://btcbase.org/log/2017-11-07#1733631 << it occurred to me that the fortification model is entirely unsuited for war against the megastate. correct approach here is "we can deliver munitions anywhere within $city, even to a mobile individual."
ben_vulpes: good idea to do that sooner rather than later; provisional ratings are easy to come by for the newcomer who registers quickly, less so for the obstinate/self-important
ben_vulpes: ang-st: anyways, the way this place works is that you register a gpg key with deedbot, and then maybe someone gives you provisional membership in the list of folks that can give themselves speaking privileges

ben_vulpes: obvs*
ben_vulpes: asciilifeform: yeah obcs
ben_vulpes still a fan of the wrightspeed/volt model of onboard generation and electric drivetrain
ben_vulpes: not intractable, just more complicated than bolting a muxer to the driveshaft.
ben_vulpes: plus gotta reengineer differentials in software if yr going motor per wheel
ben_vulpes: take out that drivetrain and they'll blow over in the wind

ben_vulpes: raven_zero: figuring it out?
ben_vulpes: statistics being the thing that hoses intuition every time.
