10:28 PeterL RE gyrojet: one thing that sped failure was 13 mm caliber, which exceeded the 12mm size limit, so needed extra note from stalin
10:29 PeterL it would be interesting to see something a bit larger tried with grenade shell
10:31 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: broadcom. but also the apologists (many of whom, i gather, weren't even -paid- shills, but merely fools)
10:31 mircea_popescu well, it tried for the entire "being apple" marketing thing.
10:32 mircea_popescu no steve, so not the same results, but it does show there exists this partiuclar herd of cattle in the wild, ready for a milking
10:32 mircea_popescu PeterL you mean fired from grenade launcher ?
10:32 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: i kinda followed the whole thing; even bought - back when it was not clear what it was - the device (1st ed. 'raspberry')
10:33 PeterL yeah, sort of a small grenade launcher combining some attributes of gyrojet
10:33 asciilifeform (still have it, and the camera option. mostly gathers dust.)
10:33 mircea_popescu afaik there's only one size grenade launcher.
10:33 PeterL I guess if you scale up any more you get RPG
10:34 * PeterL knows little about current tech in grenade launcers
10:34 asciilifeform ^ afaik those haven't really changed since ww2
10:34 mircea_popescu actually you get the muchly admired panzerhaubitze 2000

10:41 nubbins` so franmar's cleaning products are all based on methyl soyate
10:41 nubbins` which means that i can get a goddamn /haze remover/ that's drain-safe :0
10:41 PeterL yesterday I was driving through Western Michigan, saw a house with a big Confederate flag in the front yard. was like WTF?
10:43 mircea_popescu speaking of heavy howitzers : a move reminescent of the dumping of the warthog is the army cancellation of crusader paladin upgrade / any nlsc weapon at all. leaving the paladin, a 1960s make, as the pretty much only us howitzer for the rest of history.

10:43 mircea_popescu that the russians are beating them at air tech is painful but perhaps unavoidable - kennedy's spur failed to outlast kennedy.
10:43 mircea_popescu but that the germans are beating them over artillery ?! cmon.
10:43 asciilifeform the actual selection criteria for u.s. weapons systems funding are not a secret...
10:44 mircea_popescu nubbins` i thought that thing was toxic.
10:44 PeterL US verison of "austerity" is to cut the most useful platforms, trying to scare politicians into giving more funding?
10:45 nubbins` mircea_popescu apparently way, way less toxic than traditional haze removers: lye and bleach
10:45 mircea_popescu PeterL i dunno, but the parallels with 1935 england are striking.
10:45 nubbins` mircea_popescu also biodegradable fwiw
10:45 mircea_popescu nubbins` now this all depends. lye and bleach ARE biodegradable.
10:45 assbot [MPEX] [S.MPOE] 3850 @ 0.00041109 = 1.5827 BTC [-]
10:45 mircea_popescu whether this thing degrades or accumulates...
10:45 nubbins` hmm fair
10:46 nubbins` Methyl soyate has a high solvency with a Kauri-butanol (KB) value of 58 and has low toxicity when compared to other common substances. In comparison to most commercial solvents, methyl soyate is safer to handle and store due to its high flashpoint of approximately 360 degrees Fahrenheit and high boiling point of well over 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) does not list methyl soyate as an
10:46 nubbins` ozone-depleting chemical (ODC), hazardous air pollutant or volatile organic compound. Methyl soyate�s slow evaporation time can be seen as a disadvantage, but in certain applications methyl soyate outperforms other traditional solvents when longer settle times are needed.

16:02 asciilifeform lying about
16:02 asciilifeform 1'32" for instance
16:03 asciilifeform 2'36"
16:03 mircea_popescu oh, the first two are prolly repatriated dead in spain.
16:03 asciilifeform condor ?
16:04 mircea_popescu ion mota, vasile marin. dead in alhambra iirc
16:04 mircea_popescu nah, romania had its own thing
16:04 asciilifeform hey even ireland did
16:05 mircea_popescu and the later pic is i dunno what.
16:06 mircea_popescu im not all that up to date to their internal strife, but think in terms of ny mafia. some underboss or other.
16:06 mircea_popescu tony twoteeth or sammy horseplank or w/e
16:07 asciilifeform assumed it was some horst wessel-like figure or other
16:07 asciilifeform fuckdamnit read a 80GB disk seven times and came up with seven distinct images.
16:08 asciilifeform i go to find out why;
16:08 mircea_popescu lmao
16:08 mircea_popescu diddlatroll.jpg
16:08 asciilifeform best hypothesis appears to be: the chinese crapfarm who built the adapter - used conductive glue instead of solder for one of the connectors
16:08 asciilifeform why - no one knows
16:09 mircea_popescu "Multi legionari ar fi dat orice ca sa-i insoteasca in aceasta Cruciada. Insa lipsa fondurilor si previzibila impotrivire a guvernului fata de o expeditie de amploare au facut ca Legiunea sa trimita pe front o echipa alcatuita din numai sapte oameni." << "everyone wanted to go but too poor to afford the trip, and besides, parents wouldn't approve. so they had their own 7 man condor legion."
16:09 mircea_popescu no sword, no horse.
16:11 mircea_popescu granted, the communist halp was by and large not much better, but anyway,

21:30 asciilifeform 8k x 18 is still a fuckton if there's no extraneous crapolade in there
21:31 asciilifeform how many folks here have written enough asm (let's be liberal, pick any arch) to fill 8k?
21:31 * asciilifeform has, and it took a while
21:32 asciilifeform before anyone says 'but the data set' - people in the 'age of xx kB' often kept them on tape and operated piecemeal
21:32 asciilifeform see the 'tape sorts' featured in the knuth aop centerfolds, for example
21:33 mircea_popescu it's about 2-4k instructions. a week's worth ?
21:33 asciilifeform if you do nothing else
21:33 asciilifeform and writing mostly 'from your head' already.
21:33 asciilifeform then yes.
21:36 cazalla i take it noone here got an invite to evoorhee's wedding lol
21:36 mircea_popescu well if you're going to write asm you'd better know the opcodes.
21:36 mircea_popescu uh wasn't that in 2013 ?!
21:37 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: meant the overall logic, rather than opcodes (of course you know the opcodes, that isn't what takes time)

21:49 mircea_popescu really, bitcoin is quite aptly "a microscope". specifically, in this case : the sort of bs idiocy we deride used to pass for "business" and "entrepreneurship" as a regular thing. sop.
21:49 mircea_popescu those dudes find themselves in the position where atrocities that were just fine suddenly are viewed as atrocities by a cohesive group.

21:51 mircea_popescu i think "isis" is really the only available symbol to describe chtulhu, the borg, entity q and so forth.
21:53 thestringpuller how is cthulhu and the borg related?
21:53 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: idk, in my head it inevitably evokes a horde of orcs and headsoff.com

21:56 mircea_popescu also no cc debt, not caring about college, no idea what a quarterpounder with cheese is, completely dissinterested in police sirens in traffic etc.
21:57 asciilifeform mircea_popescu: robespierre also did not have cc debt, care about college, nor ate 'quarterpounder', nor ever heard a police siren ...

21:59 asciilifeform is what i was getting at
21:59 mircea_popescu who ?
22:00 asciilifeform 'isis'
22:00 asciilifeform or whatever the physically-existing pieces thereof are
22:00 mircea_popescu isis the symbol, not isis the real item it purports to stand for.
22:00 asciilifeform (vs the usg fiction)
22:00 asciilifeform aha
22:00 mircea_popescu there's zero relation there.
22:00 * asciilifeform gets it
22:00 asciilifeform limonov's 'escapees from the sanitary asylum' yes.
22:00 asciilifeform as an abstract entity
22:01 mircea_popescu average usian has never traveled, never read a book in a foreign language, never fucked a woman he didn't know etc. his ideas of "isis" are necessarily a reflection of his own pen, nothing else.
22:01 asciilifeform (his gadaffi essay, among other items quoted here in the past, were in 'the disciplinary sanitarium' - great piece on more-or-less this ^)
22:02 mircea_popescu heck, even something as banal as jurisdiction limits or alternative currencies are "confusing" and uncomfortable.
22:02 asciilifeform jurisdiction limits don't confuse americans at all in application to -other- (vassal or non-usg jurisdiction) places
22:03 mircea_popescu half the usian literature (which is 2/3s cinematographic) revolves around the shock and horror of... BORDERS!111
22:03 mircea_popescu that's the main epic device : he crossed the state line!111
22:03 asciilifeform no one in usa thinks that french law applies to him
