bounce: tangentially, there was a... german? that came up with radar-absorbing paint. refused to sell to anyone but "the government" but those weren't interested. wonder if such paint would get you out of speeding tickets. though with ANPR that's a bit moot these days.
mircea_popescu: TestingUnoDosTre: how do you gage memory recall? << i'll tell you how. write 10k articles on your blog, then see if you can recall "where x was" when people ask.
mircea_popescu: artifexd: To be really useful though, it should be run on your own server. << unless you actually lock the thing in a cage, it's not any safer on some server you own or on some server google owns.
mircea_popescu: TestingUnoDosTre: by the way, I'm really disappointed how bitbet posts latest bets to the front page. I sniped this coinlab bet from a few months , and someone just followed me << now you understand our evil.
fluffypony: mircea_popescu: ikr, I already had to wade through the alexsanjose interview and then there was all that stuff after
fluffypony: yerp, I'll look around peripherally and see if there's anyone I stumble across
mircea_popescu: no rush either.
fluffypony: BingoBoingo: do you think there'd be any interest in rugby bets on BitBet, or is the sports betting crowd on their more US-sports-centric?
cazalla: TestingUnoDosTre: don't you bet at the last moment though?
TestingUnoDosTre: 6.66 out of 10, as in you have been more bored within the last 12 days BingoBoingo
TestingUnoDosTre: like a tasty cow thats been grazing the grass
moiety: whats the lasercats command
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Slobodan, for Christ's sake (Because Jesus is in the Klan)
TestingUnoDosTre: I didn't say you wrote it, just posted. "The most important article on psychiatry you will evar read"
BingoBoingo: artifexd: To you I offered nothing of the sort, nigger.

artifexd: Another combination of words that confounds me. "Scoop your shit" I don't understand. "Make them yourself" I understand.
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Scoop your shit and make them yourself
artifexd: What are the odds?
BingoBoingo: About to c=blow on the BAC. Any bets?

BingoBoingo: ;;google the most important article in psychiatry
BingoBoingo: Lemme retreive the canon reference
moiety: <BingoBoingo> TestingUnoDosTre: Slightly different doses of these drugs have such different effects << so true
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: Slightly different doses of these drugs have such different effects
moiety: its also a mood lifter so it gets used for people with depression that have problems sleeping (the racing thought thing)
moiety: TestingUnoDosTre: it's not by chemical nature. people can believe they are addicted to it, but it is not in the physical dependancy sense like benzodiazapines are
TestingUnoDosTre: the reason why I asked about quetiapine is because I use it, and think of it as habit forming
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Maybe scroll up? Charles Sander Peirce (pronounced Purse) could simplify these rules
artifexd: "He feels the black" <- black as in ostracized?
artifexd: BingoBoingo, we seem to both use english as a source for our vocabulary but you put words together in ways that completely confound me.
artifexd: Hephaestus was a blacksmith to the gods. He created wonderful and amazing things that were used and appreciated by the most powerful beings in the universe. I'd say he felt pretty proud and satisfied.
BingoBoingo: Split that. He doesn't feel a smith. He feels the black.
moiety: its used in place of diazepam these days
moiety: artifexd: depends entirely on the drug. for lithium and lamotrigine, i'd say no. but addons eg quetiapine (to stop racing thoughts) can chill people out, aid sleep and also isnt addictive
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Magic happens because I dunno either of those cases
artifexd: Bottom line is that if one is bipolar, lamotrigine is awesome as long as the side effects don't kill you. If you aren't bipolar are there any benefits?
moiety: its the combination game. different strokes for different folks and all that jazz
artifexd: So back to before you mentioned lithium. I guess that I do not recognize the problem.
moiety: lol i went to log into the bnf and they give you an option to check your ip. whyyyy? https://www.bnf.org/bnf/login.htm
artifexd: "Smoke? Anchor? Turd?" <- I don't understand the reference
moiety: what i said is that they are both entirely different
artifexd: So why the comment that lithium is not a simple mood stabilizer when I wasn't talking about lithium. Unless you meant that as to also say that lamotrigine is also not a simple mood stabilizer.
moiety: and no i didnt start archer yet either
artifexd: Lamotrigine is an anti-bi-polar medicine, right? Being bi-polar means that you tend to go from one extreme mood to the other. Successfully combating that means you in a not extreme mood.
BingoBoingo: moiety: some camels need more canings than others to fing water.
artifexd: BingoBoingo, you seem to have the ability to, more than anyone else I know (including mp, maybe not including my wife), make me feel like a complete idiot.
BingoBoingo: Where does lamotrigine fit there
artifexd: I mean, ok, it's a mood stabilizer. But you give me the impression it is so much more.
BingoBoingo: The internet is not designed for you and your purposes. That is the one lesson I want to hammer into the brains of so many shitheads.
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Dude who runs the site is totally disabled. You have to account for such compromising design decisions or worse
artifexd: Shit. No. The ads made me think I had scrolled all the way down and yet I was only halfway down the page.
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Did you make it to the drug's MOA yet?
artifexd: I am not clinically ocd but I have ocd tendencies and I consider them one of my strengths.
artifexd: The OCD side-effect could be useful.
artifexd: The freaky side effects are hilarious
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Actually even that won't offer quite a complete picture of the chemical
artifexd: Then I shall hop over to crazymeds page.
artifexd: Reading the wikipedia article on Lamotrigine doesn't give me any reason to see it as useful for a normally functioning brain.
BingoBoingo: Much like Fairbain's knife is right into the proper ribs
artifexd: The only things you've named since you brought up amphteracin B are weapons and electrolytes.
BingoBoingo: Diablo-D3: How's the Rift Valley?
artifexd: The antifungal stuff?
artifexd: That certainly narrows the search space.
artifexd: I feel similarly about modafinil. Shit made me productive for many more hours of the day than I am now.
BingoBoingo: (There is an efficient substitute for it though)
BingoBoingo: Nah, bones are the most boring thing calcium does, and most of that is crbon nanotubes anyways
artifexd: I always thought of calcium as "that of which bones are made", not as "that which promotes the making of bones"
BingoBoingo: artifexd: One of the three most important ones. I mean you like self locomotion right?
BingoBoingo: Let us spz I have "mice" in my garage. Which SKS variant would require the least fussing as I eliminate the "mice".... Or should I just cheap it out on a Mosin?
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Sodium, Potasium, Calcium. Why did I present them in THAT order?
artifexd: Medicine/biology are far from my strong points. Even if I got the words right, I likely wouldn't understand them.
BingoBoingo: I think I've covered excess creatine shreds simple yet beautiful membranes in the kidneys, what does a lack of such cause?
BingoBoingo: Well, this is how learning happens, by knowing how both the excess an insufficiancy are dangerous and spotting a useful mean.
artifexd: The point being that saying something is dangerous simply because too much of it is dangerous is incorrect at best and deceitful at worst.
cazalla: i don't think my levels were too excessive, from memory they were in the hundreds, GP said it would be a concern if it were in the thousands, average being double digits or something, this is a decade ago, i've long ago become lazy and chubby as a result
BingoBoingo: artifexd cazalla: Since you seem most interested dangerous excesses of creatine resemble the effects of amphteracin B
BingoBoingo: Fuck it the three words nao
BingoBoingo: benkay Not too long if you don't say the two magic assets words.
benkay: thanks for the continuing voice y'all
BingoBoingo: Well, excess is relative to a point. The body is actually good at generating its own creatine, even while relatively malnourished in a few different ways
artifexd: For the record, I'm not a creatine disciple. It is just an example.
artifexd: So your saying that consuming 1kg of creatine won't provide 100 times the benefit of consuming 10g? Ok. I'll buy that. But that doesn't make taking 10g ineffective.
BingoBoingo: Choline... That on the other hand the body treats in excess as a blessing because you made a snapping turtle's nest your bitch
BingoBoingo: Excess creatine is largely handled by the body's workings as a disease state.
BingoBoingo: artifexd: Mostly the liver and limits on precessing rooted in ancient human metabolism.
cazalla: didn't they ban that due to kids going on creatine rages
joecool: at the moment the best combo i've found that's very safe is a decent amount of caffeine and some theanine
TestingUnoDosTre: there's a book called "the memory method" i think it's by harry loraine or something
joecool: but i'm looking for something a little more subjective, trying to see if i can stay focused throughout the entire day and still track tasks
joecool: TestingUnoDosTre: my short term memory is bad, so one would assume remembering lists and tasks would be the best way to test oneself (using a memory game or something)
TestingUnoDosTre: only really read about it in the last year or so, my brothers recommend me a book that has other methods in it as well
joecool: actually we're not entirely sure at the moment how habit forming nicotine is by itself
artifexd: Nicotine, when separated from all the crap in cigarettes is actually a pretty powerful performance enhancing drug.
TestingUnoDosTre: i've heard of nicotine helping the matter, but am wondering how you personally know if your memory is better
joecool: i actually picked up the ecig vaping for a short while cause i was experimenting with small amounts of nicotine for memory and to keep my bp from crashing
TestingUnoDosTre: i think acetamenophin was the last for me
BingoBoingo: I dun like opiates, they make me itch. You ever wake up having a tooth cut in half, and then for several days take pain pills that make you rash more and more?
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: Extremes of ETOH and marijuana intoxication can be great, but apart, never together at the extremes
joecool: i've had cannabis a few times, i can't really have it though, drops my blood pressure and i either faint or sleep for over 12 hours
TestingUnoDosTre: the first thing I truly toked was vaporised cannabis
joecool: loves it now, got the really fancy units
TestingUnoDosTre: ruining? they pair like a wine to a cheese
TestingUnoDosTre: by the way, I'm really disappointed how bitbet posts latest bets to the front page. I sniped this coinlab bet from a few months , and someone just followed me
BingoBoingo: Well, I smoke menthol cigarettes like a nigger so maybe that is another false positive that might aggrevate this piece of shit.
TestingUnoDosTre: I just fill the distance with smoke
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: The .08 rule is why I keep a tremendous distance between driving and drinking.
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: I can look at the bottle or bottles.
TestingUnoDosTre: I've always been worried about the .08 rule in america
BingoBoingo: Also this is Overstock.com, they barely replaced Roger Ver
alexsanjose: if you come across in humans in Central America who have bitcoin gambling operations and they want to talk to a reporter, tell them i dont bite alexandra.alper@thomsonreuters.com
BingoBoingo: Well, tor always sucked, there was actually a not horrible Cracked article on the subject
TestingUnoDosTre: the bitcoin illuminati!
mircea_popescu: i mean look at the shills/devs/etc
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: On point B the us has an impact in that it makes tor suck
mircea_popescu: so there's layers.
mircea_popescu: i don't imagine that a)the us legislative process has much impact on us reality ; b) us reality has much impact on online reality ; c) btc has much to do with online gambling
BingoBoingo: Per FINRA, the Federal Reserve, and Reality.
BingoBoingo: Even in the US I have yet to se a bank car with lites, sirens, and surly black cops played by Sam Jackson
mircea_popescu: or in the words of bogart, the fixations of some people in the us don't amount to a hill of beans in this large btc world.
mircea_popescu: alexsanjose it would seem there's no particular relation.
alexsanjose: so the question is whether bitcoin -- which is outside of traditionally banking -- allows bettors and sites to sidestep all the regulatory hassle (in addition to lowering costs, etc_)
alexsanjose: but as soon as the bank does that, they can go after you for fraud, money laundering,e tc in addition to violating UIGEA]
BingoBoingo: The cashier had to put my vodka in a paper bag. Was that sketcy because it was concealed?
alexsanjose: or a runner ould show up at your house for the cash
mircea_popescu: this is not an opposite trend of the fiat poker sites
mircea_popescu: because the bitcoin poker site was doing great in 2011, and is dead now.
alexsanjose: but they had to resort to really sketchy stuff to get money fto and from clients
mircea_popescu: it may not be "just poker", but the case of poker seems to go exactly against the theory it benefited.
gribble: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Bodog | Damn, I put a grand on the Lakers last night at BoDog, & the pistons smoked em! by Maddog June 26, 2004. 45 23. Mugs & shirts Buy “Bodog” mugs & shirts ...
alexsanjose: there are plenty
TestingUnoDosTre: i think theres still one ... bodog?
mircea_popescu: and the one poker site which was doing great in 2011 and 2012 meanwhile died.
alexsanjose: because the 2006 law makes it illegal to accept payments associated iwth "unlawful: online gambling
alexsanjose: because after 2006, and especially ater 2011 when the doj shut down the three major online poker establishments that us plays could illegally access
BingoBoingo: alexsanjose: Whatever local paper it is quarentined to will piss off the 95% of bettors not there
alexsanjose: do u think that online bitcoin gambling has benefitted from the troubles regular online gambling outfits have faced -with paymnet systems since UIGEA?
alexsanjose: if it s happening there, i need to bring in that element
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i dunno what sense that makes. so you play blackjack in tokens, and they have a random value each day. this deters you from playing blackjack ?
mircea_popescu: one question lingers. did you lie earlier when you claimed you can't do the article unless it's somehow related to... costa rica (?!) ? one'd have expected your interest to die there, were that factual.
BingoBoingo: This is exactly the difference between NeoBBQ and actual returns
mircea_popescu: people who gamble wouldn't conceivably be much deterredf by the risk that their payoff is multiplied or divided randomly.
mircea_popescu: other than that, quite impossible to call trends. maybe it's growing.
mircea_popescu: alexsanjose i don't imagine the usg is any sort of actor in this discussion.
alexsanjose: do u see bitcoin gambling spreading? despite the regulatory push in the US and people s fears about volatility etc?
mircea_popescu: so then that'd be it for this line.
alexsanjose: i dont have a law degree. i did cover the CFTC for a while
alexsanjose: then u d be ok prolly on UIGEA
alexsanjose: well if u could win on this argument -- It is our considered opinion that Bitcoin does not constitute either “Money” as discussed in the second reference nor does a purchase of a Bitcoin denominated virtual security such as offered on MPEx constitute “the placing of capital or laying out of money” as discussed in the first reference.
BingoBoingo: Still, there are Marines in Costana
BingoBoingo: Yeah, more an evoorhes thing apparently is the cover
alexsanjose: oh the mpex - satoshi thing

BingoBoingo: Does the law touch consumers?
TestingUnoDosTre: the us anti gambling law *
alexsanjose: the 2006 us gambling law -- u familiar?
mircea_popescu: Nov 29 04:07:23 <firstblockchain>Trying to find people with rentable / purchasable land in Costa Rica who are bitcoin friendly. Want to set up a few solar powered yurts, wire up with some good internet, plant some tubers and coffee and operate from there. Going to be a pain to ship my roaster there from indonesia though... <<< this guy too.
TestingUnoDosTre: superbowl coinflip - wtf happene there?
mircea_popescu: alexsanjose i doubt anything useful can be said on the topic of whether bitcoin gambling geographically concentrates like casino gambling.
BingoBoingo: The thing is this year this is an English language story. In five years this will eaither be a Spanish or Chinese language story.
alexsanjose: but i m wondering if the bitcoin gambling sites flock to the same plays where vanilla online gambling was big
benkay: no stones to tell people to redo their work
benkay: this for the record is why american management sucks.
benkay: moiety: "I don’t think you could make the suggestions friendly enough not to make it seem like a big middle finger.:
ThickAsThieves: the sharepoint guy
alexsanjose: a question i forgot from earlier that i think i know the answer to -- mp -- u have no way of tracking where your customers are or who they are
BingoBoingo: alexsanjose: Fine, I'm in southern Illinois, close enough?
BingoBoingo: alexsanjose: If you want to know what sealswithclubspoker was like over the last year I have a GPG key with email address on my blog.
alexsanjose: what happened to the spoon feeding :)
benkay: moiety: simply telling someone's boss that i was going to reject the man's code and would the following advice be welcome?
ThickAsThieves: i have bias against their css
mircea_popescu: alexsanjose alright, there's 128 btc gambling websites.
ThickAsThieves: it's where nerds that are too nerdy for the smart nerds play
mircea_popescu: alexsanjose you're roughly in the position of someone asking how many websites there are on the internet. it's by and large a meaningless measure of nothing in particular.
BingoBoingo: alexsanjose: I play with cloudbet. I fear it might face the same bet as its line betting predecessors in the space.
ThickAsThieves: there are a fair quantity of sites, but probly not much volume
alexsanjose: seems like there are tons
BingoBoingo: alexsanjose: There are a number of questionable line betting operations.
ThickAsThieves: it's ok to speak normals to the lady guys, geez
BingoBoingo: alexsanjose: Best part of Mizzou. I had a grad assistanship with the Pharmacy School through UMKC.
alexsanjose: of the percent of bitcoin transactions that are for gambling
alexsanjose: another one -- what about an estimate on the number of online gambling operations in bitcoin
alexsanjose: i get that the ledger is countable
kakobrekla: also the first and best
BingoBoingo: It is all nothing compared to my running the largest Altcoin denominated trading fund.
mircea_popescu: alexsanjose this was a while back, i was still retired back then. mostly i did girls
ThickAsThieves: enjoy the local flora is my guess
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Didn't he pay the Kentucky Basketball coach to be his bitch for lunch and a game?
alexsanjose: but what did u do there for 3 years?
mircea_popescu: you'll never guess what he's doing these days.
BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: This isn't even near the usual buzz I have here
mircea_popescu: cut them off ?
TestingUnoDosTre: making me open up another whole tab
mircea_popescu: then he'll get pissed off, and you've got your story.
asciilifeform: heatbleed - not diffused, has a loving motherland, 26km from where i sit.
TestingUnoDosTre: speaking of which, can we get a clock on the website?
BingoBoingo: alexsanjose: They resolve bets on Greenwich time
mircea_popescu: either forgot or didn't care.
ThickAsThieves: maybe the relevance is competition to mexican casinos or something
mircea_popescu: ThickAsThieves i dare not think they perhaps haven't reported on heartbleed yet, because well...
ThickAsThieves: bitbet has no more relevance to Mexico than any other country
alexsanjose: or "dateline the world"
TestingUnoDosTre: the state of missouri
alexsanjose: but i also have to talk to a company that has something there -- a call center, a server, a license
mircea_popescu: on the grounds that while i matter, reuters does not.
BingoBoingo: Only had a gun pointed at me twice there
mircea_popescu: alexsanjose you can tell your editor i said he's doing himself way more favours running stories about me than the reverse.
BingoBoingo: TestingUnoDosTre: Hisghest BAC I've hit on the overstock.com breathalizer is 0.67 while lucid
alexsanjose: because i can t really write the story unless i can tie it somehow to the region i cover
BingoBoingo: I'll have to do the BAC after this cigarette again
BingoBoingo: I might happily have an opinon column for the right price, if you buy out my mystery sponsor's share
mircea_popescu: the lyf and times of the luddite journalist. 1. find webchat. 2. 500 pages of 500 words each avalanche. 3. profit ? 4. burial.
alexsanjose: i recommend the guayaba
alexsanjose: u should come over to the dark side BingoBoingo
alexsanjose: i get that cyber shizel makes some of these considerations less relevant
mircea_popescu: so... waiting for location to get its head out of its ass, realise that the tables have turned and start making offers.
mircea_popescu: alexsanjose it's like this. the way locations normally works is that it doesn't need people, but people need it. and so people make offers to location.
