verisimilitude: Well, I'm not finishing any program today, so an opinion piece it will be.
vex: How do the symptoms compare with the first viral infection asciilifeform?
vex: [https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/12/12/new-caledonia-rejects-independence-from-france-in-third-vote] French Melanesia votes to stay French, but the independence faction abstained; busy doing sorry business after losing a bunch of people to the virus
vex: Maybe they saw Honiara on fire, figured no time for rash decisions
vex: re Myanmar, it's worth considering that that vast jungle has eng chem entrepreneurs like nowhere else. if the price of abs filament goes up, they ain't gonna be importing it.
asciilifeform: lol vex. in e.g. philippines, in afganistan, w/out any such thing as 'chem entrepreneurs' they make entirely usable kalash in smithies, with hand tools. why bother with plastic one ??
asciilifeform: it's a squarely western 'plankton' preoccupation, these plastic toys.
vex: I've seen the vice vidya about colts getting made in Manila
asciilifeform: vex: in smithsonian museum in washington, there are philippino muskets made of ???, dating back 2 centuries
asciilifeform: through ww2.
vex: entrepeneurs everywhere
vex: I bet they have nice timber on the stock
asciilifeform: only to americans occurs to make from plastic. it's a kind of 'sprezzatura'. 'any idjit can go to shop and buy proper rifle, let's make from plastic'
asciilifeform: even in whatever jungle conditions, can do over9000x better than this. e.g. brit 'sten', or su 'ppsh', can be baked in any sheet metal shop.
vex: Perhaps only the bozos with plastic are being photographed. Oz police seem to find printed guns
vex: and various poorly made things
vex: I personally don't keep one because of the terrible alcohol problem, but you'd be surprised how many aussies have guns
vex: banning them is useless
vex: Also why I don't have a fighter jet; I'd break too many windows
vex: How's the covid?
vex: did you hear the one about the asthmatic lesbian?
vex: she caught her breath in snatches
vex: Melanesia was important in ww2
vex: Go ask the anthropology dept. The pacific ain't no joke
vex: I was eye to eye with a dragonfly recently, stoned enough to wonder if MP could see what I was up to
vex: meh. I watch dragonflies fuck too
vex: they hover around with connected abdomens, oblivious
vex: From my own observations, I expect a male floor monkey to maintain more visual acuity during copulation, compared to a dragonfly
vex: I might be wrong
vex: their light detection arrays are awesome
vex: honed since the last comet
vex: in other controlled flight..
