mp_en_viaje: and for the hebrew speaking club, here's a little chortle : what's a mishmishtara ?
mp_en_viaje: it's an apricop!
bvt: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-29#1939005 << i can see the point of 'only man can be caring' in that letter, but tbh the 'cunts/prostate' one totally elides me.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-29 18:43:46 mp_en_viaje: meanwhike in pre-reich german : https://www.ifz-muenchen.de/heftarchiv/1980_3_4_reynolds.pdf
mp_en_viaje: bvt, im not proposing it makes any sense.
mp_en_viaje: item is just one of the lulziest bits of a huge bundle of historical evidence deeply inconvenient to the pantsuit socialists, because it quite clearly proves hitler's purported antisemitism as not merely a received idea, which didn't belong to him personally anymore than the notion that the string "sun" is how you describe the closest star belongs to you,
mp_en_viaje: but actually the normal idea for the time and place.
mp_en_viaje: which... i mean, for most of the 90s the koreans deeply believed that if one goes to sleep with a working fan in the room, the mechanical movement will somehow magically "suck the oxygen out" of the room leading to asphyxia.
bvt: ah so, this is clear from the letter (and iirc you pointed it out in some of the trilema articles)
mp_en_viaje: this i think they mostly renouned meanwhile (or stopped admitting publicly, or whatever, people are weird), and it's obviously fallacious. nevertheless, at the time it was social consensus, and therefore a very flimsy basis for either diagnosing insanity or "evil" in believers.
mp_en_viaje: at the time hitler was a struggling painter / vagabond / corporal 1st class, this guy was an aristocratic military commander, deeply respected socially.
bvt: germans are taught nowadays that they were all victims of evil nazis, and imprison anyone who was close enough to KZs back in the day, but at least older generation would still tell stories about their fathers when drunk (i have only second-hand recollections though)
mp_en_viaje: yes well
mp_en_viaje: it's not exactly clear to me what the fuck happened, to be honest. (then again i have a score of these wonderments, "why the hell did the sovok intelligentsia give up" was even aired a coupla times)
mp_en_viaje: but as factual matters : a) jews had lived for a long time in germany, and prospered there, and were throughout upstanding pillars of the community, unmistakably.
mp_en_viaje: b) at a personal and microsocial level, jews were very well inserted, and well respected. even the most rabid of the [retrospectively read as] "antisemites" of the period make distinctions (very much on the pattern of "all the cunts are whores except for mom" ; "all tjhe jews are vermin except for my bff shclomo")
mp_en_viaje: the very officers ranting about the evil jews wilfully respected jewish veterans, promoted jewish officers, threw a fit if they were sidelined and so the fuck on.
mp_en_viaje: c) the jews themselves are, obviously, as inconceivably stupid as always, i won't belabour the point of these morons, who finally got to make themselves a country and made it red-tape sovok socialism atop turkish legal system ffs.
mp_en_viaje: that joke about canada, re how it could've had british bureaucracy and french cuisine and ended up with british cuisine, french bureaucracy is exactly about israel.
mp_en_viaje: but it seems to the actually competent scholar self-obvious that there's equivocation in the source material : that the autors speak of "jews" in the general ~deliberately~ and ~awaredly of the fact~ that it's a pars pro toto deal and they're specifically exclusing some if not most.
mp_en_viaje: meanwhile the retards idly posing as scholars's naive read would readily decide "misogyny!!!" if applied to trilema.
mp_en_viaje: much like the ~same retard's "science" model produces golf clubs out of whatever you feed it.
mp_en_viaje: so what exactly happened, how the fuck did the ~extremely civilised~ germans, who if convened today would laugh with every hole at the "washington correspondent's dinner" FOR CAUSE, end up throwing stones at people's windows that they actually very much respected privately...
mp_en_viaje: i guess we'll never know.
mp_en_viaje: but it sure as fuck wasn't some retard from passau.
mp_en_viaje: or, for that matter, even seemingly simpler questions : why the fuck would a man who was ~faslely~ accused of THE BAD by some schmuckturds barely perceptible above that chick from fizesu' gherlii who also had prior fucked up his boss for marrying a whore -- seriously now, I THOUGHT THE
mp_en_viaje: Y WERE ALL WHORES. i thought this ~because you literally said so in writing holy shit what the fcuk~
mp_en_viaje: nevertheless opt to not bring the army out and clear them off, but instead retire. he's an army fucking officer, from the prussian school, since when the fuck he opts to ~run away leaving enemy in possession~ instead of deploying ~superior force~!
mp_en_viaje: 1938 okh'd have worn for cock ornaments goering an' his merry band of drunks and societal rejects inside the week, what the fuck were all these people thinking ?!
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-29#1939044 << looks rather hand-made. uruguay home metallurgy ftw!

snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-29 19:13:59 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: just about 100% a basement-built , fire-from-open-bolt design ( these are Officially proscribed in usa even when half-auto , so unlikely to be industrially-baked )
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-29#1939057 << no fucking way, most of my arsenal in the 90s was .45 and .50. "wtf is this 9mm, what are you, a cop ?"
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-29 19:17:14 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the colt acp also afaik uncommon outside of north amer
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-29#1939063 << yup, entirely wouldn't change anything about it even today. .45 is perfectly fine for standard issue / crowd control, .50 in zirconium loadout is perfect for armored / hardened targets such as any moron self-centered enough to wear a vest, helicopters / "armored vehicles" in urban settings etc.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-29 19:19:26 asciilifeform: .45 is imho pretty good , of the historic calibers. usually subsonic right outta the box, even (i.e. silenceable)
mp_en_viaje disdains today as always disdained the negro / usigistani notions of "spray and pray" mac-10 is da shit nonsense.
mp_en_viaje: if you don't know who you're shooting at you don't have grounds to be shooting.
mp_en_viaje: "oh, any man's wrist will be stiff after emptying a desert eagle magazine" "dude, if you've emptied the magazine you're a war hero, wtf, you killed two platoons" "no you don't actually hit" "what ?" "you miss, see" "why the fuck are you shooting then ?!" "isn't that what you do ?" "yes dumbo, it's what i do. it's not what you do, get lost."
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-29#1939070 << afaik 100% it. also the future borne them out, not because "nuclear war" but because yeast infection. pretty much ANY platoon will fall back in a panic if you as much as hit one guy. and we're not talking here of domestic ra-ra-ra-i'm-so-bad-i-gotta-wear-a-mask cowardlice. even "battle hardened" "afghanistan veterans" are the same shit.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-29 19:22:28 BingoBoingo: The NATO caliber standarding also happened during that time where the soft-serve consensus was the next fight will be nuclear so its possible there wasn't much concern over small arm supremacy
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-29#1939082 << no, because by the time the bullet's leaving, it actually has same speed as the fireball. so moar contact wouldn't have accelerated it much further.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-29 19:30:51 asciilifeform: lotsa wasted joules in that fireball. the powder wants a barrel to do its thing in.
mp_en_viaje: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-29#1939096 << cuz it's a "large" (self-perceived, as always, an ysocialism will perceive itself as large much like every donkey will perceive its voice as melodious) failed (duh) socialism. it's what they do.
snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-29 19:41:48 asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: for what argentards to invade uy ? to steal the pot-flavoured empanadas ??

His piercing brown eyes below dark bushy eyebrows and thick black mop of curly dark hair gave a clear message, dont mess with me. He was quiet and intense with a masked sense of humor until provoked, and then watch out" ? wasn't my read at all.
mp_en_viaje: meanwhile for the rotaku club, first serious mention of bitcoin on trilema.
diana_coman: afaik the need someone in China is still entirely unaddressed, is it? apparently thimbronion has newly established e-mail contact with someone living in China so maybe worth pursuing it with this goal in mind.
ossabot: Logged on 2018-05-17 11:37:22 mircea_popescu: kinda why we need someone in china, to dissolve exactly this sort of "only seems to be offered in china and in container-sized min order" situation ; which arises for very good reasons to do with industrialization, and is eminently solvable -- but not by the red skins, nor from inside the reservation.

asciilifeform has nfi how this belief formed, but suspects reason -- folx still die of heat in that shithole, fan or no fan, just like right here in usa
asciilifeform: http://logs.nosuchlabs.com/log/trilema/2019-09-30#1939138 << the key to the puzzler aint much of a seekrit. goebbels put it in plain text. j00z were picked as 'instigators of the war' and meat grinder ramped up in direct proportion to the obviousness of germany starting to lose. the chronology fits.

asciilifeform: re that 'mac-10' ( famously rejected by army commission with phrase 'this would be great for warfare inside a phone booth' ) -- americans very fond in recent decades of 'picturesque', loud, but entire impractical small arms. iirc mp even wrote a piece on subj, along the lines of tlp's 'this is not to win, but to Feel Like A Trader'.
asciilifeform: see also this old thrd. consider the most popular piece, the m16 & variants. popular specifically because comes apart into two dozen parts, for each of which there are 'ricer' aftermarket 'shit bolted to side!111' replacements, for fiddlers to fiddle with.
snsabot: Logged on 2016-07-21 13:37:11 asciilifeform: phun phakt: for every conceivable heresy re kalash, american 'ricers' will happily sell you an aftermarket kit , to idiotate to yer heart's delight

asciilifeform: ( and pertinently, contrary to popular delusion, usa's 'contract soldier' is psychologically still same conscript, us army is fulla folx who joined e.g. to get their teeth fixed, or simply to find any work at all, aint no work to be had in their native oklahomistan outside of meth labs )
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Lettuce not forget all of the non-standard caliber uppers available for M16/AR15 which will take it from .22 rimfire through some rimless straightwall .50 rounds with all manner of niche weird in between
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: probably one could write entire b00k on 'ricer hardware'. i.e. where enthusiast could (and often does) fill an entire lifetime of nights an' weekends with fiddling, and spend any amt of money, but will still end up with basically same thing, if 'heavy with shit stuck to the side'.
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: sorta how you can fiddle all you like with pc irons and will still end up with essentially same x86 box, with all the basic flaws, always
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: There seems to be a racket where a loading with get a weird ricer name like .50 BEOWOLF or .300 BLACKOUT get some USG test firings and go on to market the round as things normally get marketed to jugalos,etc based on edgy/cool name
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: folx who mainly use the thing to hang on wall, naturally dun care if a shell costs 10 $ ea. or is sold in just 1 place in alabama or whatnot
BingoBoingo: In that case why not SKS? Durable thing that required machining, but otherwise perfect conscript rifle
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: iirc some of these oddball calibres aint even made industrially , like normal people do, but instead turned on a lathe ~individually~ from larger shells
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: conscripts, see, will use what's issued to'em. and in usa, that's whatever pads pockets of whatever 'favourite son' contractor.
BingoBoingo: AHA, or made small scale industrially from parent brass
asciilifeform: police, on other hand, get what's cheapest.
BingoBoingo suspects part of the reason it takes 250k+ rounds per us conscript kill is the magazines are too big. Fuck your supressing fire, make the first shot count!
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: 'teach'em to aim' went out of style in vietnam era. why, is a q for experts, i'll leave it alone
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: From the local news stories I read in old country police usually took what they were given or bought what they were told with money similarly given with strings
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in washingtonistan, police usually has the plastic austrian 'glock' or similar.
asciilifeform: 99% of'em never use it, so the 'less weight on belt' aspect appeals.
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: re aiming, per reports from cousins and their spawn still taught to aim. Just once they go from basic skills to small unit tactics they are taught in practice one guy in squad with .30 rifle should aim while rest make noise
asciilifeform: ( funnily , it appears that the normal recruiting pool for police -- burned-out iraq vets -- has dried up. nao they have booths at public markets, fairs, 'join the police dept! medical & dental!' )
BingoBoingo: Well, Iraq vets now are either old or "specials" herded into 20 year career
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: in sovok, recruits also ceremonially 'taught to aim'. given traditional 3 rounds / yr . ~same result.
BingoBoingo: "designated marksman" iirc is the term of art they use for the setup.
asciilifeform pictures a fyootoor us army where 4 of 5 men in platoon can be gimps, and 'designated walksman' is the only 1 who's req'd to have working legs
BingoBoingo: Well standard setup seems to be 1 marksman, 1 autorifleman, maybe a mortarman, rest of squad on m-16 or other specialist support tole
asciilifeform: a++ full-employment scheme...
BingoBoingo: Seems cheaper to just count the parking extortionists as employed
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: they do! and, interestingly, army bases (already in early 2000s when asciilifeform worked inside 1) guarded ~100% by equiv. of mall cops, rather than uniformed folx (for whom they'd have to 'medical & dental'(tm)) , cheaper.
BingoBoingo: Meanwhile in an ongoing trend in local news, primary risk factor for getting mugged is swiftly becoming employment as police officer https://www.montevideo.com.uy/Noticias/Un-delincuente-murio-y-un-policia-fue-herido-en-intento-de-rapina-uc731278
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: Nah, I mean Uruguay style. Count em as employed entrepreneurs and sole proprietors
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: is how asciilifeform was counted. and the other coolies. ~doubles the tax rate, and removes 'unemploy insurance' & other expenses for usg.
BingoBoingo: Charge em a fee to get their permit, count them as employed forever more without any particular follow up
asciilifeform: ( recall what was done to j. stack, wai he went flyin' )
BingoBoingo: aha
asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: i expect at some pt police in usa will move to 'india' model, where fella is given a name tag and paid a coupla rupee / mo., and the rest he is expected to make up from bakshish and straight highway robbery

snsabot: Logged on 2019-09-28 14:13:23 asciilifeform: 'tape' knob i realized is unusable shortly after cut patch, it needs to be rewritten so as to give 'last N' , rather than using start/end index from the earlier raw-log knob
diana_coman: asciilifeform: I don't quite get what problem are you trying to solve with this tape knob?
asciilifeform: diana_coman: notion was, to make 1shot 'all chans' sync possible
asciilifeform: but now thinking it cannot be done cleanly and prolly oughta cut it out in next patch
asciilifeform: diana_coman: observe that the example tape you linked , contains only #t, cuz indices are per-chan and no other chan has advanced to anywhere near 1937934
diana_coman: ahhh, now I see what you wanted ; but... how could it work across chans because even if "last N" , it's still rather meaningless
asciilifeform: right, as-written it's 100% useless
asciilifeform: and presently can't think of how could be made to work as intended. possibly sync will have to remain per-chan.
diana_coman: I don't quite think it's the right approach even, tbh
asciilifeform: it prolly isnt
asciilifeform: atm syncing 6 chans with bare hands is a 1st class bitch tho.
diana_coman: that much is true but this is not going to solve it; the raw log thing is fine and yes, on a per chan basis, one has to request from their own "latest index" to as much as it takes to end up with "nothing"
asciilifeform: diana_coman: i'ma cut the stump out in next patch.

asciilifeform: showed even compression waves in the powder as it went off
BingoBoingo: It's been a while since I dove into it, but iirc longer barrel also pushes towards pickiness about matching rifling twist to bullet weight
mp_en_viaje: BingoBoingo, aha
mp_en_viaje: im no gunsmith here. but from what i recall from my notes from however many years ago, maximizing bullet energy is never a first order concern.
asciilifeform: ( only w/ neutrons, can take xray-like photo of barrel, bullet, and powder and have'em all show contrast in same photo )
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: very often folx dun give a damn re energy -- e.g. snub-nose revolver, or 'saw off', or traditional ru обрез , where compactness is king
mp_en_viaje: compactness, reliability, wear and tear minimization, bullet thumbling, all sorta this things
mp_en_viaje: if you're after max energy get a flamethrower.
BingoBoingo: Well, wound channel is king. Only really gotta have enough energy to break rather than follow shoulderblade of male members of target species.
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: '90s ru type flamethrower. the traditional kind wastes buncha fuel in flight .
mp_en_viaje: aha
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: cant resist to ask : when you shot the 'eagle', what kinda loads didja use ? according to the nitpicky critics, it gets fouled quickly unless fed fmj
mp_en_viaje: you never use that thing like the "critics" use it. yes, sure, it fouls lots at the range.

asciilifeform: BingoBoingo: the textbook example at one pt was the armenians
mp_en_viaje: i have nfi re that either, but it seems to me the driver there was this : some guys (not ONLY turks, various arabs) decided that the only way to one-up history is to END the supply of armenian harem slavegirls.
mp_en_viaje: much like demented shepherd might one day decide to EAT the herd, so that he's the last in the line to have eaten mutton. "fuck all the rest of ya"
asciilifeform: mp_en_viaje: why would they want to nail the harem gurlz?
asciilifeform: hm.
mp_en_viaje: so nobody else can have anymore.
