mats: Billy Bob Thornton is one creepy dude
decimation: mmm hmm
decimation: actually if there's hope for the us, it seems to be with the states
BingoBoingo: Around these parts he would be white tie formal
decimation: apparently colorado and others can just preempt federal law if they feel like it, and the feds are 'unable' to do anything
mats: whats that you're referring to
decimation: the whole pot thing
decimation: if you are gonna waste your time on us politics, the most effective use would be state plebecites
mats: o, 'federalism when convenient'
decimation: mats: yeah but it kinda demonstrated that the feds are a paper tiger
mats: feds are still busy fucking the state
mats: mmj dispensaries cannot deposit funds into national anks
decimation: as long as the 'reform' you want is popular, the fed's hands are tied to a degree
mats: makes them an easy target for unscrupulous opportunists
decimation: mats: so vote on state law preempting federal bank regulation
mats: that works until scotus tells you to fuck off
decimation: yeah but here's the thing, the feds don't want to go to scotus
decimation: in case they lose
decimation: that's why they didn't take colorado to court, for instance
mats: i think i'll have to bone up on my case law for this conversation
decimation: please do. if we can get someone to author anti kyc/aml regulation in some state it would be a huge win for bitcoin
decimation: this whole hastert affair still pisses me off. imagine if a state voted to make it illegal for a bank to report your cash transaction to the feds

assbot: Logged on 18-06-2015 03:47:32; decimation: apparently you can craft your own suppressor if you pay USG $200

decimation: asciilifeform: some forums I read suggest that they can't inspect your weapon (without a warrant), just the tax stamp

asciilifeform: but for keeping infantry off your back
asciilifeform: (if the coaxial guns jam, presumably)
decimation: sure, but what about .50 cal on top
decimation: at any rate, if a competent infantryman gets close enough to be killed by pistol - you are already dead
assbot: Panzerfaust - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... ( http://bit.ly/1N4YJ1T )
asciilifeform: could have had 'psychological' reason for the ports, such as preventing crew from leaving machine prematurely

mircea_popescu: small caliber not such a bad idea. bb sprayer even better, of course.
asciilifeform: didntijustsaythis
mircea_popescu: oh nm, lol.
asciilifeform: btw ru sop was to stick 'ppsh' through the hole

funkenstein_: so yeah, 20,999,950 theoretically spendable by 2130 or whenever
danielpbarron: and the unix timestamp thing is a good example of when to hard fork
danielpbarron: unless it can roll over without invalidating things
funkenstein_: it would be cool to reference genesis block as t=0 at that point
danielpbarron: can't do that. the timestamp is part of what makes a block valid
funkenstein_: though people probably prefer sticking with Jan 1 1970

mircea_popescu: anyway, porn has at least the very important social function that it models female behaviour.
asciilifeform: it does ?!!
mircea_popescu: or, more properly stated : that it offers a usable, cheap counterbalance to the female community behaviour.

mircea_popescu: the interest, here or anywhere, for the deeds of anyone pretending to be in cryptocurrency who doesn't meet the minimum bar of competency for that field is not unlike the interest we show scientists that can't add. "will there be nudity ?"
pete_dushenski: 1, 2, 3, 4... nudity !
pete_dushenski recalls bus ad for 'did you know that 1/5 people has genital herpes ?' as a young man, teasing 5th kid in line that he was it. because math.
mircea_popescu: such idiocy those ads.
pete_dushenski: something along the lines of '1, 2, 3, 4, jacob has genital herpes !'
asciilifeform: l0l and what of all the folks with arm and leg herpes
asciilifeform: they get no press
mircea_popescu: i dunno why epidemiology is so hard to follow, but let's add two and two together. two one : the virus is not a new introduction. two two : the virus is stable aroun 16-18% infections.
mircea_popescu: what does this mean ?
pete_dushenski: asciilifeform: because porn
mircea_popescu: a) that infection is unrelated to exposure in any form ; b) that "fighting" pointless "battles" is the best way to waste public money in relative personal safety ; c) canada is broadly iliterate
pete_dushenski: damn, adam_obrien just left... was going to ask what 'aua' is as opposed to 'ama', and if it's 'us', who that includes. ah well.
mircea_popescu: if you think about it, most newly introduced (ie, no equilibrium reached yet) infections go from 16% to 100% in two days
asciilifeform: a) isn't quite a complete description. in the folks having the particular immune quirk which lets the thing blow up into red skin etc., exposure can plant it down in new places (thing lives in nearest nerve)
mircea_popescu: if it's been 16% for a week, you don't get it by fucking herpetic whores bareback, you get it from being genetically broken in that way
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform aha.
asciilifeform: my understanding is that a sufferer of, e.g., mouth herpes, could actually infect himself with penile herpes if he were sufficiently.. flexible
pete_dushenski: flexible, or like the mythical marilyn manson, missing lower ribs
mircea_popescu: except pretty much everyone can be made to develop mouth herpes by stressing the liver in a particular manner
pete_dushenski: an 'urban myth
asciilifeform: mircea_popescu: what's the liver to do with it ?
mircea_popescu: i imagine some precursor protein for the supression ?
asciilifeform: and why mouth ?
mircea_popescu: cause for some reason it's where it mostly manifests, esp in young people.
pete_dushenski: probably like infected ant who crawls to top of plant to be eaten by herbivore
mircea_popescu: even leaving aside the "we've arbitrarily divided this virus up into 3 no wait 7 no wait 16 no wait nm groups", the notion that "i don't have herpes" is to be translated as "i read very little and understand even less".
pete_dushenski: mouth is where the contact is with potential hosts
mircea_popescu: this is possible.
asciilifeform: my understanding is that this virus does not lodge very far from original contact.
mircea_popescu: it's not too well understood what it does. but trivially : you don't have monolaterality in observed cases
mircea_popescu: (ie, there's no "upper lip left side" herpes)
mircea_popescu: if you look at the nerves, there's really very little contact / very good separation between the strands
mircea_popescu: so how does it jump from the right to the left trigeminus ?
asciilifeform: aha. like cabling.
pete_dushenski: so infection starts monolaterally and spreads within host (via saliva) to become bilateral ?
pete_dushenski: sounds reasonable.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform also, re the liver stressing ; herpes C generates liver disease all the way to cirhosis.
mircea_popescu: but in 80% ish of alcoholics and in 3% ish of normal people.
mircea_popescu: how about that!
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski your saliva is eventually shat out, but little arse herpes described.
pete_dushenski: not that the ass is nerveless, but there's certainly a much lower density there
mircea_popescu: (the one medically notable thing about alcoholics is that their liver is shot)
mircea_popescu: pete_dushenski less than what ? about on par with mouth and labia/penis head.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: ah, was going to say mouth. i may well be mistaken

jurov: 2. js needs to multiply the value 100x

mircea_popescu loathes timezones.
jurov: etc.etc.
ascii_field: jurov: what time could you ever want that can't be recovered from epoch time ?
jurov: i can be never sure i have put epoch time in
ascii_field: fuck 'timezones' with red-hot poker
trinque: mircea_popescu: I tend to ignore their existence except at the last step before display
ascii_field: and ditto 'leap seconds' etc
mircea_popescu: i'd rather people had to get used to the fact they a) live in shitlandia so sunrise is at 4pm and b) they're shitlords that live in the dirt and so their interests areen't being catered to
mircea_popescu: than me having to keep changing the time.
trinque: yeah, that would be much better
mircea_popescu: fuck it, make one planet time and whoever doesn't fly enough can eat a bag of dicks.
ascii_field: earth time.
mircea_popescu: timezone is about as braindamaged as "colorsmell"
jurov: i have put a code in coinbr that checks for mandatory timezones and pops an excpetion otherwise
jurov: and it saved my ass several times
ascii_field: mircea_popescu: 'colorsmell' << as in what lsd users get ?
mircea_popescu: synestupidia.
ascii_field: 'gmt' exists
ascii_field: but probably not what mircea_popescu had in mind
nubbins`: have never smelled colour on lsd
ascii_field: nubbins`: but what of the opposite, the colour of a smell ?
nubbins`: smelled ozone yesterday while shorting the control panel on a 240V conveyor dryer o.O
trinque: yeah, my perception of the various senses gets diddled to the extreme, but they have never mixed
nubbins`: ascii_field nothing nearly as organized as that :D
nubbins`: salvia divinorum is way more likely to induce synesthesia anyway
nubbins`: unfortunately mp just left so he is unable to inform us that the hallucinogenic effects of drugs don't exist and we're deluding ourselves into pretending to be hallucinating
nubbins`: or w/e it was :D
nubbins` suspects mp was sold oregano as a kid and smoked it
mats: i vaguely remember mp being stoned a few months ago
ascii_field: iirc there exist 'true hallucinogens' where the user retains not a shred of doubt that the hallucinated sensations correspond to reality; and a 'false' kind, where there is doubt, and to which most extant hallucinogenic dope falls into
mats: something about the stuff being stronger than last decade or w.e
ascii_field: but having never accessed either personally, i cannot comment
trinque: nubbins`: salvia is a hell of a drug
assbot: [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 14550 @ 0.00043856 = 6.381 BTC [-]
nubbins`: ascii_field "jimson weed" (datura) hallucinations are generally interpreted as being genuine
nubbins`: i.e. user does not feel impaired but will imagine cigarettes, people, etc
ascii_field: i also recall that the 'true hallucinogens' are generally taken once and 'wtf why did i do that'
nubbins`: trip reports for that shit on Erowid.org were always fun to read
nubbins`: yup.
nubbins`: most of the stories end in the hospital or the police station
trinque: I've heard terrible things about datura
nubbins`: people trying to sell drugs to toilets, etc
mats: all i did was walk around naked
mats: that sounds more fun
nubbins`: sounds very un-fun

trinque: nubbins`: I tend to think of LSD as abstract-reasoning overdrive serum
ascii_field: trinque: there is apparently ample record of folks using very small (a few microgram) doses precisely this way
trinque: ascii_field: yep, too much and your brain becomes useless, multicolored mush
ascii_field: trinque: always wanted to try this, but never came close to accessing the dope
nubbins`: SWIM definitely took a half-tab and attended math class more than once at uni
mats: lol
nubbins`: ascii_field dark markets offer impossibly reliable plausible deniability
ascii_field: nubbins`: l0l at morons having dope mailed to their postbox
mats: pick up a reagent kit if you're going to do that
ascii_field: and lacking own gas chromatograph to see precisely what is in
nubbins`: ascii_field you realize that i could mail dope to your mailbox today, yes?
mats: actually, that should go without saying
ascii_field: nubbins`: i check it every day, for some reason no dope...
nubbins`: and if one day the dope shows up... what crime did you commit?
ascii_field: and no invitations from chinese emperor
nubbins`: owning a mailbox?
ascii_field: nubbins`: the crime of being nominated for police watch while checking mail
ascii_field: the mayor of the town where i live had this set up for him
ascii_field: they machine-gunned his dogs
ascii_field: aha. some bozo (opponent?) mailed him a fat crate of dope
nubbins`: so you take package from mailbox and lay it on your table for an hour.
ascii_field: and tipped off the police prior
ascii_field: they sat, watched
mats: thats brilliant
nubbins`: also, fat crate of dope != lsd
nubbins`: SWIM had to retrieve from garbage once due to extreme stealth on part of seller
ascii_field: fits in the comma at the end of a printed sentence. but for actual scientific self-experimentation a la alex shulgin one needs ~known~ dose
ascii_field: not simply 'this is a postage stamp with some amount of lsd'
nubbins`: vials of pure liquid are less common nowadays
nubbins`: tho still available
ascii_field: no 'dark'-anything will ever sell you a known amount of whatever.
nubbins` shrugs
nubbins`: if you say
ascii_field: it's a strictly 'wot' sort of affair
ascii_field: like buying plutonium
nubbins`: what, you think i pop online and choose a random vendor each time? :D
ascii_field: nubbins`: unless vendor is also the producer (this is, as i understand, uncommon for opsec reasons) you in fact ~are~ 'choosing random'
nubbins` throws hands in air
nubbins`: drugs are cut by dealer, not distributor
ascii_field: nubbins`: lsd is unstable in solution. and so it would stand to reason that it is parceled out to the 'stamps' where produced.
ascii_field: but i cannot say for certain.
mats: unstable in all forms
nubbins`: "As a salt, in water, cold, and free from air and light exposure, it is stable indefinitely."
nubbins`: ^ from tihkal
ascii_field: originally sold (by sandoz) in, iirc, ampules.
mats: hmm
nubbins`: clear glass ones
nubbins`: !up ascii_field
nubbins`: UV light destroys it in short order
nubbins`: my understanding is that crystal is dissolved in solution by producer, then laid by distributors, but i'm sure there are as many arrangements as producers and distributors
nubbins`: SWIM's source says they receive crystal and lay their own blotters, but as you say -- who knows?
nubbins`: short of sending some to a lab, all we have is subjective commentary
nubbins`: the original SR had an lsd review team w/ access to a lab
nubbins`: regularly tested tabs and posted analysis
mats: the most common arrangement i've seen is a solution of everclear and lsd
ascii_field: <nubbins`> regularly tested tabs and posted analysis << they aren't in my wot...
nubbins`: this is true. they're in mine, tho :D
assbot: Erowid Online Books : "TIHKAL" - #26 LSD-25 ... ( http://bit.ly/1Li2Qtf )
nubbins`: related reading for the curious
ascii_field owns the dead tree of 'pihkal' and 'tihkal'
nubbins`: oooooo
nubbins`: LSD-25 is (i think) the only substance that doesn't include qualitative comments
nubbins`: with the excuse given that there are plenty already and it would be absurd to cherry-pick a handful of his own
ascii_field often wonders if he's the only man alive to have 1) read the books 2) wanted to taste the items described therein 3) could not
nubbins`: nope.
punkman: I'd say that holds for the majority of readers
nubbins`: i read he was really into cacti in his later years
nubbins`: died recently iirc
ascii_field: punkman: i suspect that the majority of readers ~could~ obtain at least one or two of the items found in the pages
nubbins`: hoffman famously lived to the ripe age of 102
ascii_field: died last year, i think
nubbins`: ascii_field didn't we just establish that you could taste these things but choose not to? :D
ascii_field: nubbins`: i could taste mystery meat
ascii_field: but why would i want to do that.
nubbins`: that's why you buy from a website instead of a street dealer
nubbins`: purchase LSD on the street and i almost guarantee you'll be purchasing an NBOMe
nubbins`: purchase LSD online and there's NBOMe for sale right next to it so why not just call everything what it is and let the buyer choose?
ascii_field: wake me up when they're in my wot, and not opsec-retarded
nubbins` roughly shakes ascii_field
nubbins`: WAKE UP
punkman: I was recently shown a website that sold legal LSD analogues via credit card
nubbins`: remember RAC research?

punkman: nubbins`: did you ever try AL-LAD?
nubbins`: haven't had the pleasure
ascii_field: until we have a way of dematerializing physical objects and reconstituting them in a remote place without traceable motion in-between, like bits, pretty much everyone who is willing to be involved on the supply side of dope economy is retarded
nubbins`: extracted LSA once
ascii_field: because it selects for this
ascii_field: just like bitcoin-fiat exchanges!
nubbins`: ascii_field that's why we're on the demand side, not the supply side
nubbins`: it's a win-win situation for the purchaser
thestringpuller: ascii_field: okay what is your rationale on this?
ascii_field: dealing with the retarded is - at the very least - very foolish.
punkman: nubbins`: depends on location
ascii_field: thestringpuller: see thread ?
nubbins`: punkman the minimum requirement is that the supplier be located in your country.
nubbins`: it is simply not feasible to discover LSD in domestic mail
ascii_field: nubbins`: it is equally difficult to discover what in particular you actually got in that mail.
thestringpuller: ascii_field: i've been following it you never really clarified why the supply side is specifically retarded unless I missed that line?
nubbins`: ascii_field an open marketplace ensures the substance, if not the dosage.
scoopbot_revived: France Issues Humor Related Travel Warning For Visitors to the United States http://qntra.net/2015/06/france-issues-humor-related-travel-warning-for-visitors-to-the-united-states/
nubbins`: ascii_field besides, let's say you know the dosage down to the ug. What difference does that make?
nubbins`: person x will react differently than person y to the same dose.
kakobrekla: ascii_field i think nubbins` volunteers to be your test subject
nubbins`: so your tabs are 150ug instead of 200ug.
nubbins` waves hands dramatically
ascii_field: nubbins`: can then say 'i took 5ug and discovered proof of goldbach's conjecture' or 'i took 500 and learned that thirty-three is purple'
nubbins`: ascii_field the sensible thing is to purchase a ten-strip, start low and see what happens.
assbot: Last 4 lines bashed and pending review. ( http://dpaste.com/3EAMJVC.txt )
nubbins`: coincidentally, this is the same procedure used when dealing with a known quantity.
ascii_field: how the hell do you even know which end of the strip is 'low' ?!
nubbins`: heh.
nubbins`: i mean start with a low dose
nubbins`: like, say, a half tab.
nubbins`: didn't work so well? you have 9.5 remaining
nubbins`: try a full one
ascii_field: and if you want same thing again ?
nubbins`: take another half!
ascii_field: pray to god to send you the same concentration of strip ?
punkman: ideally you'd want a properly diluted solution and a dropper
nubbins`: ascii_field well, after your TWENTY half-hit trips, you'd probably buy another ten-strip and start the process over again.
nubbins`: do you suppose you'd want to do this more than 20 times?
ascii_field: suppose.
nubbins`: so the next time, get the same vendor to sell you 50.
ascii_field: and repeat same circus again ?
mats: its always going to be a gamble
mats: laying LSD is not an exact process
nubbins`: "circus" = taking a small dose, yes
ascii_field: would you tolerate this with coffee? booze ?
mats: if you want to measure dosage, get liquid
nubbins`: ascii_field if otherwise unavailable, yes.
nubbins` points to moonshine
mats: people already tolerate this with coffee, caffeine tablets are a more reasonable alternative, right
nubbins`: people DO already tolerate it with coffee
nubbins`: cigarettes, marijuana, birthday cake...
ascii_field: the caffeine in the weakest and strongest cup of coffee does not vary by orders of magnitude.
nubbins`: imagine the burden, though, of having to eat like 2 hits of LSD to figure out an appropriate dose for the other 48.
nubbins`: the horror!
nubbins`: ascii_field the LSD from a single vendor doesn't vary by orders of magnitude either
nubbins`: in my wot-based experience, anyway ;p
nubbins`: 20ug vs 200? might as well sell blank paper.
nubbins`: 2000ug instead of 200? business: you're doing it wrong
ascii_field: nubbins`: how much blank paper have you eaten so far ?
nubbins`: none
nubbins`: single-purchase customers does not a business make
nubbins`: it's much more lucrative to sell what's advertised

ascii_field: because they are not imaginary.

ascii_field: see earlier re: the mayor.
ascii_field: and he didn't even ~ask~ for the dope
ascii_field: picture if i spoke here of having asked for it.
thestringpuller: the crack smoking mayor of toronto?
ascii_field: (that's the root misconception behind the pseudolegalism of 'it is not forbidden to receive dope in the mail')
nubbins`: listen, i can't do anything about the fact that your police regularly kill innocent people
nubbins`: all i'm saying is that you absolutely, 100%, can purchase drugs online safely
ascii_field: i don't doubt that when the time comes, they will find a watertight reason to demolish my house, with me in it, in the middle of the night
ascii_field: but they will have to do better than 'bought dope on shit road'
nubbins`: so take a trip before your number gets called.

trinque: "to ascertain that their bitcoin holdings are not derived from the proceeds of crime." << hilarious
trinque: as opposed to their fiat holdings
punkman: yeah gotta remember how HSBC turned down all those mexicans drug dealers
trinque: I'm sure everyone involved was punished
trinque: customary punishment in banking circles is being buried by a dumptruck full of cash, I've heard
menahem: lol
menahem: nothing worth noting, mostly "take a hands off approach and wait"

trinque: hey, look there
trinque: ag3nt_zer0: bravo
ag3nt_zer0: yeah thanks to you trinque hehe
ag3nt_zer0: 5 thumbs over here haha
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It wouldn't be the first time
trinque: well, now you know how to make curl and gpg kiss
trinque: inventing bullshit certifications is great business
trinque: reminds me of hearing about someone selling licenses for open source software
trinque: due to govt requirements
ag3nt_zer0: trinque: yes, very cool!

assbot: The Underhanded C Contest ... ( http://bit.ly/1InKdy8 )
asciilifeform: ^^^ required reading for all 'sappers'
asciilifeform: (technically last year. this year's contest not yet began)
asciilifeform: first place medalist is a mega-masterpiece
BingoBoingo: ^ Added to the 21 year plan
asciilifeform: this one was nsa-themed, too
asciilifeform: 'The PiuPiu oversharing site allows users to create PiuPiu accounts and post 140-character messages. The federal government wants PiuPiu to surveil user activity on the site, by archiving any posts that match certain patterns outlined in a national security letter. Subject to the nondisclosure constraints of the letter, PiuPiu may not inform anyone of the surveillance request.'
asciilifeform: 'The underhanded goal is this: write surveil() in such a way that the act of surveillance is subtly leaked to the user or to the outside world. PiuPiu can not reveal the act of surveillance, but your function is technically able to edit the Piu or user structure during scanning. Find a way to alter that data (this alone is a bit of a challenge, since you are not supposed to alter the data, just scan it) in such a way that an i
asciilifeform: nformed outsider can tell if someone is being archived. The leakage should be subtle enough that it is not easily noticed.'
decimation: asciilifeform: C macros are of the devil
ag3nt_zer0: if I were to embark on a learning journey exploring the rudiments of programming, would there be good reason to not start with C? I always like to go to the root of something I am learning, which in my ignorant guesswork I like to think C is one of those root languages, but I have heard whisperings here and there that python is the way to go... any thoughts?
decimation: C is essentially the 'bedrock' of modern computers
decimation: unless you want to make your own computing machine I suggest learning bedrock
ag3nt_zer0: haha ok
mats: on the subject of timezones
mats: am confuse about why London is GMT+1
mats: \o/
decimation: daylight savings
decimation: just like here
mats: oh, that explains it.
decimation: to make things stupid they also go on daylight savings at different calendar days than we do
decimation: also GMT is kinda outdated, the new thing is french UTC
mats: ic
funkenstein_: mayans laughing their asses off at us
decimation: ftp://hpiers.obspm.fr/iers/bul/buld/bulletind.124 < after the leap second, DUT1 will be +0.3s
funkenstein_: while we're on the subject of time, i've been working on building a clock
funkenstein_: it grabs headers from several altcoins and estimates the current time
decimation: as I recall this was needed in the pogo
funkenstein_: the DUT1 was needed?
decimation: no, but some rough clock setting
decimation: because nobody wanted to trust ntp
BingoBoingo: <funkenstein_> it grabs headers from several altcoins and estimates the current time << The proper way to build a clock is with brass, a lathe, and a steady hand
funkenstein_: hehe, well, i guess this is a meta clock
funkenstein_: all it does is collect what miners have said the time is
BingoBoingo: If you just want to count seconds on a C machine http://www.openntpd.org/ is pretty much the gold standard nao
assbot: OpenNTPD ... ( http://bit.ly/1H2lG6N )
decimation: funkenstein_: it would be useful if you could determine time accuracy and variance
decimation: as well as how quickly you can acquire time
BingoBoingo: They had to fight TimeGavin who fought their efforts to clean code and kill retardation
funkenstein_: each coin you add increases accuracy,
funkenstein_: but the whole thing seems somewhat pointless
BingoBoingo: And yes, the shitgnomes fight improvement and cleanliness no matter how seemingly trivial a part of the stack janitors want to devomit
BingoBoingo: funkenstein_: And then ATC or Doge abandoment dicks your averaging effort over
decimation: funkenstein_: the point is that you can get time without trusting anything outside verified coins
funkenstein_: decimation, exactly
danielpbarron: why include altcoins at all
funkenstein_: danielpbarron, to get better than ~ 10 min. accuracy
BingoBoingo: "coins" have insufficient entropy to be useful as a precision measure of time at all.
decimation: don't need accuracy
mats: precision and accuracy are different things
BingoBoingo: If you want to measure epochs and years BTC blockheight is fine. If you want a race you want something calibrated against nuclear decay.
BingoBoingo: More random gives you more precise time.
BingoBoingo: Accurate time doesn't happen
funkenstein_: one could always look at the sky
decimation: mats: I'm aware, don't need precision either
danielpbarron: funkenstein_, you aren't limited to just the last block
BingoBoingo: funkenstein_: Timekeeping is a battle between astronomy and nuclear chemistry
danielpbarron: could be something like the difficulty adjustment only not limited to the last 2 weeks
BingoBoingo: danielpbarron: Block height is always going to to a rough measure of time due to entropy. Could make a great system for a calendar, poor for slicing up a day though
assbot: Considered Harmful: OpenNTPd... ... ( http://bit.ly/1H2mJnt )
BingoBoingo notes that though both are prefixed with shit Shitgnomes and Shitlords are very different things.
BingoBoingo: And are naturally opposed.
funkenstein_: this is liable to get confusing
BingoBoingo: Shitgnomes leave turd traps and prevent nice things. Shit lords bury gnomes in turds to highlight their wretch. Mike Hearnia is a cononical shitgnome. Theo Deraadt and alf are cononical shitlords
BingoBoingo: funkenstein_: Everything is heirarchy.
BingoBoingo: Shitgnomes try to ruin the things shit lords want to use
BingoBoingo: funkenstein_: Start constructing a memory palace.
mats: i don't understand how your link relates to why OpenNTPD is better than ISC NTPD
mats: you are on the edge of coherence tonight

funkenstein_: when the two shitplates touch: shitquake
BingoBoingo: Indeed
BingoBoingo: Eventually such a shitquake will happen such that we start printing upclocked Z80 processors on a 7nm process
mats: this is too cult-y for me
decimation: mats: I'm similiarly lost
decimation: how many sheets to the wind are you?
BingoBoingo: About 4 sheets
