ristopietila: kakobrekla: no gpg key for the moment. Later on. The immediate goal will be for him to access invite-only #monero-mew
ristopietila: Anyway, hi everyone, especially mircea_popescu . I'm sorry I was not able to talk here for some time. That should change in the following weeks
thickasthieves: i can connect you with the panama dude if you care
kakobrekla: no, cause of their weird setup
thickasthieves: they are too smal
nubbins`: A: A guy orders 25 hits. I send him a 5x5 sheet. His feedback reads "The hit was very large but I managed to fit it in my mouth. The lines were neat. Good trip". I wonder if the guy thought the 25 hits were one!?
nubbins`: Q: What's the strangest message you've received from someone tripping on your product?
pete_dushenski: thickasthieves: it should say "most trusted" on there somewhere

Vexual: what the ruck is rocket?
nubbins`: or, for the francophones among us, ginette
nubbins`: i don't like the name Lynette
Vexual: define the problem
mircea_popescu: <pete_dushenski> these career women who thought they "had time to find a guy" are finding out it ain't true << quite. if you're 16 already and your nudies aren't trending on any social media site you're smack drab in the process of missing the mating boat.
pete_dushenski: nubbins`: and manboys don't cut the mustard for weak women, much less strong ones
nubbins`: acting sooky because new sexy mom won't do their laundry
pete_dushenski: it's these poor young women who outnumber anything resembling a man 5-1
pete_dushenski: and having to sift through the piles of manboys who're emasculated by women who earn more than them
pete_dushenski: these career women who thought they "had time to find a guy" are finding out it ain't true
Vexual: whats the problem?
pete_dushenski: find out that the workplace is a narrow, narrow space
pete_dushenski: brush off the opportunity for guys while in school
pete_dushenski: lol for the well-heeled ladies i know, it actually is!
nubbins`: pete_dushenski "successful, financially independent women are so utterly unable to find male companionship that they've resorted to finding randon strangers on the internet"

nubbins`: i think within the past couple years?
nubbins`: doc at the radar station is a better introduction
nubbins`: tom waits started experimenting with the gravelly side of his voice after being introduced to captain beefheart by his wife
Vexual: they talk about potholes
nubbins`: the captain beefheart of hip-hop!
mircea_popescu: the wutangs of invention!
mircea_popescu: yeah he's the zappa of rap.
nubbins`: anyway, i listen to a lot of different types of music in a lot of different genres, but if you don't think odb is a musical genius, you either haven't listened to enough or you don't have taste
nubbins`: another good one:
nubbins`: yeah man, i used to get those on the regular.

Vexual: have you seen deadmaus getting cofee with the mayor of toronto?
mircea_popescu: nubbins` is this the ex chelsea ex bradley dood ?
mircea_popescu: who knows what they told her.
mircea_popescu: the local secret service is a monument to incompetence
nubbins`: she "can't see what the fuss is about"
nubbins`: oh! and in unrelated news, my province no longer has a department of justice, and an unelected private citizen was put in the seat of attorney general
chetty: I would think usg has enough stuffs on it plate without bothering but I guess there could be people with 'ideas'
mircea_popescu: buncha hicks got some hardware wanna realise their action movie fantasies
mircea_popescu: basically for the same reason they do all the profilgate nonsense with the "president's security"
nubbins`: 5 mens uniforms (out of 60) also wanted "i like it raw", i guess they were gonna keep those in case they hired 5 gay men
mircea_popescu: chetty you know they're fucking idiots. this would be the what, 20th pointless, ineffectual similar attempt ?
chetty: mircea_popescu, seriously? why bother?
mircea_popescu: chetty i wouldn't be surprised if the usg was in fact trying to assasinate her.
nubbins`: mircea_popescu we refused to print them D:
mircea_popescu: who the fuck makes women go around in that.
mircea_popescu: the k spin (kirshner, govt dinasty here) : no need for it because it was very warm this winter, so nyah.
mircea_popescu: the clarin spin (newspaper group bitterly opposed to government) : no money, economy in dissaray, disaster, mismanagement.
mircea_popescu: the fact : bout 150k tons of gpl are stuck in an argentine port, waiting.
nubbins`: no wallabies in the backyards
Vexual: nubbins`: another foodie
mircea_popescu: in the shapes of costs that'd be "recoverable" had they been booked, but are pure profit as they weren't.
mircea_popescu: decimation: well, the idea is that you are investing in the equipment required to build other products in the future, thus making the NRE "recoverable" << conversely, he is contributing a scary amount of value to the company.
mircea_popescu: so i was reading the logs with bated breath, waiting for to see bitbet being hacked. what sort of scam pentesting was this!
Vexual: what do you eat there?
Vexual: this ndrangheta music is really hte best there is
mircea_popescu: course when it comes time to collect they still need a scammer to shill for (and many just spend their time shilling for the biggest scammer of all, the govt, in exchange for whatever scraps), but still. a poisonous atmosphere.
mircea_popescu: which is why as carlin/carson/stern etc are going out of old age, there's nobody to replace them. you get stuck with cancerous filth a la that oliver douche.
mircea_popescu: it all started in the 80s with those god awful late night cable channels, and thirty years later it pretty much took over "mainstream"
mircea_popescu: just like the porn space is populated by strippers and whores, who figure they can charge more / will get better custom if they are now "pornstars", just so would-be scammers in the us feel the overpowering need to have a tv show/radio show etc.
mircea_popescu: kakobrekla: that guy that is talking to micon is pure scammer << the us talkspace is pretty much populated by scammers by now.
mircea_popescu: artifexd well i dunno it;'s an actual subreddit, but the sheer volume of people that know various details, had ready trilema quotes etc.
mircea_popescu: but you happen to be exactly correct, that's the only way to fight it.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: my problem with seals is that the admins are in denial that they cannot possibly ban their way to a collusion-free poker environment, and refuse to integrate the Web of Trust to allow users to control who they play against <<< this being a two year old business idea i had that nobody i talked to wants to implement because whatever, too busy chasing the "retainer" 1200 dollah a month sort of thing.
artifexd: <mircea_popescu> AND there's an entire reddit community dedicating to reading trilema and stroking it to just how bad it is ? << Which subreddit is that?
mircea_popescu: also you'll notice i don't exactly do the conference circuit.
mircea_popescu: TheNewDeal: what about MP? << his knowledge of bitcoin reality doesn't extend all the way to mp.
mircea_popescu: danielpbarron: <+xanthyos> "neil degrasse tyson is an idiot" (michael dean) << he's right << you two should stop diluting the term idiot through calling annoying people idiots. not the same thing.
mircea_popescu: decimation: this is a rarity in usg, where someone says "I am responsible" and they are fired << the way i understand it, the us works by firing. so originally people were disincentivised from taking responsibility, in the hopes of avoiding it. as it didn't work... you'll be seeing more and more of that behaviour.
Vexual: don't wanke him up, theres no telling what he dreams
mircea_popescu: Azelphur you know they can tell if you've had sex recently ?
mircea_popescu: mebbe kate moss had one with alex anores meanwhile ruining the bar for everyone or who the fuck knows
Vexual: arent they all fat?
mircea_popescu: that's how it works : for things to exist you gotta have some people whose screams can scourge the very mouth of hell.
mircea_popescu: the controlling point here being that just because no toddler should be in control of the world, it doesn't follow that nobody should be.
mircea_popescu: "MP reminds me of a spoilt fat little toddler I used to know, if he didnt get what he wanted he would simply scream until the whole world knew he was upset and that he didnt have what he wanted."
mircea_popescu: "The problem is that his social skills are... well... different from what the majority of redditors and bitcointalkers are used to dealing with."
mircea_popescu: if they weren't unclean in the eyes of the lord, the holy dollarghost'd give them some moneyz too!
mircea_popescu: poor people are poor because of their sins!!!11eleventy.
mircea_popescu: o.O what sins lmao. poor fuckwits imagining rich people are rich because of their "sins" ? yeah, sure, gimme sum o dat.
mircea_popescu: AND there's an entire reddit community dedicating to reading trilema and stroking it to just how bad it is ?
mircea_popescu: so, the top mod on reddit is actually that dubious camwhore from dooglus' site back when ?
mircea_popescu: dude check out all the history i didn't know!

Vexual: but a drunk alone doesnt get far past the showroom
Vexual: thats my understanding, a humanlike thing approximates the position then uses a camera to fine tune
decimation: there was a time when computers were a mechanical affair: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5P5faf7478 << model of "COLOSSUS" running at bletchley park
Vexual: they have eyes yes?
asciilifeform: unlike a purely mechanical pick'n'place (these exist), this one will have ability to return to preset coordinates.
decimation: ok that makes sense, would be a good compromise for prototyping. it would be damn handy to hit a key to make the thing move 0.1mm instead of trying to finesse it
decimation: yean even the 'cheap' chinese one was like $4k I think
asciilifeform: decimation: more importantly, is the fact that their machines cost money that i don't have.
decimation: I think you will safely beat these guys in quality http://hackaday.com/2014/09/24/pick-and-place-machines-at-maker-faire/
asciilifeform is very much familiar with the traditional setup
asciilifeform: 'how to eat the airplane? one piece at a time.'
decimation: yeah the smallest smt parts are a bitch
asciilifeform: the pick'n'place cum pastelayer is the only cut to a 'gordian knot' - namely, can't have the boards populated at a genuine factory (prohibitive cost for small batches) - but can't populate by hand with acceptable yield (very fine-pitch components)
BingoBoingo: I can only imagine what the pressure is like when the penguin only has a 3-4 hour drive
decimation: it seems to me that the quantity that you are minimizing is your time investment
decimation: well, the idea is that you are investing in the equipment required to build other products in the future, thus making the NRE "recoverable"
asciilifeform: can't have a part machined, for example, unless there is no possibility of making it to spec with own hands (pcbs with soldermask, vias, hard gold - fall into this category)
asciilifeform: so everything must be done in the most painfully economical way.
asciilifeform: i may have said it before, but i will repeat: s.nsa has a piggy (see mircea_popescu's site); every month, i invoice him for materials, get some btc. but, since i can't safely convert btc to usd where i live, i just sit on them. they will probably be buried with me. hence: s.nsa, presently, in practice runs on guess what (my pocket money...)
decimation: I wonder if there is a subtle 'puff' effect from flex tube as the vaccuum is released and the tube rebounds
asciilifeform: decimation: flexible tube is annoying in various ways (can't rotate 360 deg.; wear around the connector ends; nonlinear resistance to turning, have to use gear train on stepper; etc)
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Former plastic pistol dudes may have an offering for the offing... http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/10/making-a-homemade-metal-semi-automatic-rifle-just-got-crazy-easy/
asciilifeform: decimation: i don't have a cnc lathe.
decimation: well, could have been cnc lathe
asciilifeform: decimation: yes, with that lathe. with what else.
asciilifeform: at any rate, hopefully answered the question of why simple-looking piece of junk had to be laboriously cut.
asciilifeform: Vexual: testing that piece presently. there shall be pictures.
Vexual: did you solve the glue dilemma?
asciilifeform: i did not invent the principle.
asciilifeform: the luer fits needle, just as it was sold for.
asciilifeform: thick end - 1/4-32 (american. i didn't make the luer, and no metric luer could be easily sourced.)
Vexual: woeks in the wet
decimation: thermite welding was used to weld railroad tracks in jungle conditions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadwelding
Vexual: you'll find more danger with the pice getting stuck to the wheel and comin atchya at some aweful rate
BingoBoingo: Vexual: From embedded iron that oxidized in the wheel.
BingoBoingo: Seriously though... All of the fire the thermite references here... Thermite has exactly two ingredients...
TheNewDeal: shiiit I'm gonna use the diamonds in my teeth and cut it like Jaws
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: Well, a bandsaw has rather controllable surfaces. A grinding wheel though if you work aluminium... turns into the bane of COmmunity College machine shops
Vexual: expands locally hence the need for parrafin wax lube
TheNewDeal: I'm not saying it isn't possible, but I'm pretty sure I've cut the shit on a band saw, while lightly spraying some lubricant, and had no problems of ignition. That band saw was for sure used in cutting other things (not sure how much iron)
BingoBoingo: Also about things that generate heat... like thermite.
Vexual: i always thought it was more about the heat
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: It isn't necessarily that Aluminum is flamable enough on its own. Nearly any grinding equiptment usually put upon it will have already cut iron and have various Iron oxides in it...
BingoBoingo: Aluminium also clogs the shit out of grinding wheels
Vexual: i mean the part he machined, me thinks i could find something in my own junkyard, it must be the way it attaches to the machine or something
BingoBoingo: TheNewDeal: Aluminium... Ignites...
