hello last fellow to have not seen ocelots.

11:44

possibly next-to-last, iirc BingoBoingo not found ocelot yet

11:45

tho i suspect he is closer to converging onto ocelot

11:45

didn't he have a purruana ?

11:45

i picture her as gigantic guinea pig..

11:45

12:02

(ah, note also the greedily opening butthole. this happens, in girls that regularily take it up the ass, because sexuality, as a subjective psychological construct, as well as sexual function, as a matter of physiology, are both TRAINED BEHAVIOURS, and absolutely nothing else ; certainly not some kind of "path to truth" or "deeply genuine and unfalsifiable expression of the self" or any of that 1900s "reformist" protestant ov

12:02

erexcited nonsense. consequently -- if sex includes buttseks, the butt will open up during sex, just like dogs drool when hearing the bell, and through exactly the same mechanisms for exactly the same reasons.)

12:07

BingoBoingo don't you just love it, btw, when all sorts of inept modern remakers of "prohibition era" have people machine gunned with the damned thing and then they ... walk ? or something like that ?

12:07

Right

mircea_popescu has recently seen "the untouchables", a typically idiotic nonsenseyarn (with pre-america ending prettyboy costner). sean connery gets it well and good, and then proceeds to scramble about, his lungs 50% lead.

12:09

by VOLUME, i don't mean by fucking mass, that'd be a total blowout.

12:10

Anyways the armaments of the ATM refill crew are pretty armed with the rifles and submachine guns (apparently the ATM crews are organized as fireteams with specialists?)

12:10

pro tip : the thompson's a passible concrete cutter. it comes from the same mental era as http://btcbase.org/log-search?q=warthog ; made by the same people for the same reasons, abandoned by the same cucks for the same reasons.

Well, when you gotta cut down non-Judeoist fanatics like the Japs... Gotta do what you gotta do

<asciilifeform> i picture her as gigantic guinea pig.. << What puzzles me is that the hairless cultivars all seem to be in the pet trade. Due to their size you gotta defuzz the skin instead of skinning them lest they get to dry during cooking.

12:14

mircea_popescu: phunphakt -- i saw 'tommy' sold in shop in usa. but on closer look, turned out, it was a cruel mockery, they tore out insides and replaced with deliberately incompatible firing mechanism, so as to fire from closed bolt , per usg diktat

12:15

( but at least they kept the barrel, still ye olde 45-acp )

12:16

asciilifeform: Those are common "demilitarized" collectors items. In the 1990's the catalogs selling Mosin and cheap SKS were full of all sorts of otherwise cool (sten, uzi, etc) molested into uselessness

12:16

BingoBoingo: it wasn't 'demilitarized' in the 'this is nao a hammer' sense, it fired (semi)

12:17

Pobre Tommicito

12:17

i think the same people had a mutilated PPSH also

12:18

trinque recalls throwing around m1 garand's in high school, had lead poured down the barrel

12:18

trinque: was museum piece or wat

12:19

jrotc drill team; we had a particularly traditional sergeant, wasn't going to have any of that plastic gun pussy shit

12:19

they did this in su also. i still dunget why can't restore these to proper function -- yes melting out pb will destroy the temper on the barrel, but can go and re-anneal it

12:19

all you need is induction heater, afaik, and oil bath

12:20

PhunPhact, USG still at least nominally has a program for selling surplus weapons to civilians http://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/

12:20

trinque: jrotc is pre-enlistment army school, neh ? and they drill with ceremonial rifle ?!

12:20

trinque here's the fun thing : you can actually clean those. contrary to what the idiots think, it's not "permanent" : lead becoms soft enough to push out long before the barel's actually fucked by the temp.

12:21

just need to machine a perfect rod for the barrel.

12:21

(the fundamental problem being that lead and iron don't alloy)

12:21

somebody oughta tell the kids next time there's a priceless artifact of the old south to defend

12:21

mircea_popescu: most vintage small arms come with 'perfect rod' already , neh

12:21

asciilifeform yeh.

12:21

i.e. the clean rod

12:21

ro kalash certainly did

12:21

yup.

12:22

mircea_popescu: depending on how generous museum was with the pb, could be headache, say they filled entire barrel.

12:22

still comes out. need jeweler's pick and patience.

12:23

desoldering iron with suction hose.

12:23

warm enough lead to be workable is not such a big deal, can hold i nhand with leather strap.

12:23

it'll prolly remain in the rifling grooves tho

12:23

nah, you do what the washing machine does, by hand. your surfactant's prolly going to be a grease.

12:24

washing machines all over the nation routinely get "lead" out of "barrel".

12:24

cotton and mud, also don't alloy.

12:25

if pb on fe behaves anyffing like eutectic pb/sn/ag solder over cu -- it dun alloy, but 'cold welds', some will remain.

12:25

nope. iron is very different nation from pb / ag / au / u line.

12:25

they don't like each other.

12:25

certainly worth experiment

12:25

by all means!

12:26

iron likes chrome, and vanadium and those guys.

12:26

i suspect that it is even possible to cheat, lower melting temp of the pb with (surprisingly cheap) gallium

12:26

lead likes tin and stibium and those guys.

12:26

asciilifeform definitely, wasn't even getting into all of that.

12:26

but recall your own "remove bs solder through mixing" experiments

12:27

aha, http://www.loper-os.org/?p=1871

12:27

worx a+++

12:27

( i added pb to 'pb-free' rubbish , to properly melt with ordinary irons . but same principle worx elsewhere, universally )

12:28

same reason why salt is poured on icy road in winter.

12:28

"diffusion in warm solids". you should prolly phd :D

12:28

"what does warm mean ehre ?" "not zero." "zero what ?" "zero kelvin."

12:29

lol

12:31

revisiting upstack, to the barrels -- i suspect that the reason why nobody bothers with this procedure in usa, is that barrels are sold openly

12:31

possibly, yeah.

12:31

( they are not considered usg.speshul )

12:38

just that makes it obvious they should be shot until they submit.

12:38

it was all perverse, had two sergeants and a colonel (retired) trying to make a proper boys academy in a public school

12:39

probably has degenerated further since then

12:39

the things people who decided "to work with the system" will try...

12:40

kinda reminescent of the classical abused wife portrait.

12:40

or, if one prefers, kinda reminescent of the "computer security" crowd. same thing, really.

12:46

certainly. most obvious example was they'd hit ya, make you do pushups in mud, etc., but there was a tacit "don't spoil things and cry to mother, who cries to superintendent"

12:46

fortunately disappointing enough that I didn't end up stomping around the desert or flying drones for a living

12:48

trinque: i suspect that drone detail is considered 'cushy' , and reserved for necro-sexual trans-species black whatevers-in-wheelchair etc

12:48

lel, I thought this was what passed for "low-level commissioned officer" in chairforce these days

12:49

asciilifeform not up to date re subj

12:50

hey guise, i know how to to barrel rolls. i played some video games.

12:52

lol what rolls, 'predator' is not aerial combat machine, it is air-to-ground wetwork machine

12:53

reportedly they takeoff & land by comp, also. the monkey in the chair is ceremonial.

12:53

usaf is crawling towards putting enlisted men into pilots seat due to personnel shortage

12:55

mats: lol! what did they use'em for prior ? mopping floors ?

12:55

gotta be a major or above, to fly ??

12:55

It's ok, they got Tome Cruise to make a sequel to Top Gun, never mind that is character would have hit the ceiling on career length and been forced out last decade

12:56

they oughta make a 'bottom gun', about the life of the late mccain

12:56

speaking of gay.

12:56

d00d accounted for, what , 26 planes from ~own~ side ??

12:57

asciilifeform: AHA, McCain and his soulmate Senator Lindsey Graham

12:57

( plus -- nearly -- a carrier )

13:00

asciilifeform: not sure about the details but i wouldn’t be surprised if many pilots were at least 1LTs by the time they get out of training to actual unit

13:00

since E1-4 and O1-3 are time gated ‘you’re not a fuckup here’s a promotion’ ranks

13:01

*

BingoBoingo was under the impression "warrant officer" ranks were kept around for helicopter folk

13:01

asciilifeform you don't understand how pantsuit heroism works.

13:01

usaf and army has different aviation culture

13:01

mccain needed MOST mother ? he's the best kid thereby!

13:02

anyway ; pilots were universally 2nd lts throughout jet golden era (60s to 80s say). this strictly for mats reason, got it upon completing academy.

13:05

holyfuq, 'all pilots lieutenants' ?!

13:05

srsly ?

13:05

why not all generals ?

13:09

airframe is very expensive, smelly privates can’t be trusted

13:09

asciilifeform: This was back when college degree still was a somewhat useful gatekeeper

13:09

Or at least percieved as such

13:09

asciilifeform very strictly what he says : can't have grunt have this much $$$ assigned to him.

13:10

13:10

comments, as always, welcome!

13:11

13:11

the janitor is pilot too...

13:11

noncomissioned officers ? nah.

13:11

by contrast, warrant officers fly their entire careers in usarmy, commissioned officers also fly but also get piped through command and staff billets

13:13

this probably works better, commissioned officer ‘up or out’ promotions aren’t good for retaining pilots

13:15

Doing an alt-history retrospective I am starting to think that if I would have enlisted... Coast Guard would have been the way to go. Practice useful skills like boarding ships, they do that all the time. When's the last time the Marines boarded a shipp in anger?

13:16

the mariens are supposed to be amphibious landers not fuckingpirates.

13:16

but yes, if one's contemplating a cartman career in somalia, coast guard works.

13:16

also paying attention in basic arithmetics works.

13:27

ahahaha what the fuck.

13:27

good times in teh best military in the world

13:27

marines just get carried around by the navy, dun 'take ships'

13:27

'...in the last half century only three U.S. Air Force pilots have become aces (five or more aircraft shot down). There may never be any more aces.'

13:27

this is such claptrap it seems researched by sasha baron cohen

13:27

do the airplanes also work better if they're pointy ?

13:28

<Mocky> marines just get carried around by the navy, dun 'take ships' << This meshes with one of my cousin's experiences in the corps. Spent 6 years alternating between being stored on boats and being stored on land

13:29

anyway ; there was never actually a time us pilots were remarkable. during the war raf dominated the east and by VERY far japan dominated the east (in fact, the "biologically unfit to fly" jap pilots were the best pilots of the war, hands down). even romania's royal air force had better pilots than fucking usaf, wtf. but anyway, it was mostly brits and germans.

13:30

and since then, gimme a break ? for one thing ro destroyed the entire nato force back 9in when was it, 2015 exercise. and for the other, soviets were always better ; and after a brief gap ru is certainly supreme over the usg's rust buckets, since at least 2010s

13:30

mircea_popescu: quite possibly today's 'we control the vertical and horizontal!' delusional usaf, specifically begun in the days when jp ran out of modern machines ~and~ trained men, and pacific war turned into duck hunt

13:31

(this isn't to say ro is that good ; but the nato planes are shit, and the nato pilots even worse shit)

13:31

asciilifeform i guess.

13:31

Another counsin spent very little time one boats, bounced around between arctic and arizona with experience punctuated by "peacekeeping" in Balkans. His kid is latest to enlist because "acts out", didn't school good, and wtf else to do

13:31

mircea_popescu: per http://btcbase.org/log/2018-08-17#1842632 hypothesis

13:31

Logged on 2018-08-17 18:52 mircea_popescu: there's two kinds of i won : the "i won because you're fucking stupid" and the "omfg i'm so cool i won". the latter never works out.

13:32

i can see it.

13:32

jp ran out of ~errything, while usa was fielding 'hellcats' with engine the size of entire today's toyota

13:32

but yes, in opening yr+ of war, jp cleaned floor with usa

13:33

( 'usaf' as such did not yet exist, it was 'army flying corps' and same in navy, iirc, different animals )

13:33

but throughout tenure us "ace pilot" consisted ~of "fly stratofortress, armored plane above aa range".

13:33

so no, the "current" problems aren't current but fucking sturctural. always was a conclave of cowards.

13:33

mircea_popescu: 'ace pilot' was specifically re folx in 1seaters

13:34

folx in bomber detail, never 'personally' credited with killing anyffing, afaik

13:34

point in case, "losing pilots to marriage stress". if you can't slap the bitch over that running mouth of hers, what the fuck are you going to do in the air ? shoot instagram posts ?

13:34

asciilifeform yeah yeah. which is why the brits generally had to supply the cover.

13:35

in the 90's all of the 'how to operate' tank training was in tanks and ~all the 'how to fight as effective tank platoon' was in shitty simulator. this for both army and marines. Makes me wonder about 'modern' pilot training

13:35

folk are broken in the fucking head ; just look at current mad max remake : a hot chick THAT IS NOT NAKED driving A TRUCK.

13:35

mircea_popescu: in su there was legend of at the very least 1 test pilot who flew mig29 vertically into ground , when wife left

13:35

but no hard evidence that this happened, only folklore.

13:35

totally, that's how "postapocalyptic" works. moving barns and dressed women.

13:36

nobody will fucking drive ~the largest target that can be found~ in the middle of chaos, what the fuck. an ustard however will find this natural.

13:36

then they wanna know why obesity problem.

13:39

raf dominated the east << i mean, the west, of course.

13:39

afaik there was no brit presence in pacific, tho. straight usa vs jp contest.

13:39

asciilifeform yep.

13:42

no soviets in the east ; and no cn/kr/etc permitted to fly. for same "smelly" reason, i suspect. the koreans aren't all that bad these days.

13:43

13:45

mats 100% of my us-"educated" slaves are in default. and will fucking stay in default.

13:45

the editing isn’t very good, but my take is that 30% of borrowers have -at least- missed 3 payments over five years (‘students facing serious struggles’)

13:45

i have a good mind to start billing trump. "25 yo can't calculus"

13:45

which is unreal. hundreds of billions in combined defaults and late payments

13:45

"oh, calculus isn't fgor everyone" "money -- also not for everyone. i'll take all yours now."

13:47

and yes the trend is agravating, 2000s born set will certainly "owe" more than 1995-2000 set which in turn about 100% more than 1990-1995 set and so fucking following.

13:48

sad. kids waiting for their parents to die so they can move into their house

13:49

that's long past. parents mostly rent. and then there's medicare.

if you send spawn to 'uncertified' school, yer a criminal, if bury parent in uncertified tomb, also criminal, if... well errybody already knows, i think

14:17

the only part of the system that doesn't make any sense to asciilifeform , is why the soldiers, raped raw regularly with e.g. retro-revoked bonuses, deployments to goatfuckistans with 0 strategy beyond 'clear mines with own feet', etc -- continue to prop up the inca

14:17

rather than cutting throats

14:18

the ones who couldn't be 'trained not to question' failed training

14:19

Mocky: us army is not waffen ss tho. visit a base, it's full of the typical 'i hate my job' schmuck that you meet anywhere else, construction sites, mines, wherever

14:19

noncitizen soldiery. which is why all the "usarmy provided training and logistical support" etc.

14:20

kinda useless dweebs.

14:20

afaik not enuff mexicans to make serious diff, yet

14:20

most of army still 'red state'

14:20

folx like BingoBoingo's brothers or whoever.

14:21

asciilifeform, 'i hate my job' is the internalization of the problem, opposite of questioning

citizen means he who can lynch and annul court cases, not he who's just tryna make it.

14:24

( yes they have the nominal home of the fdr-confiscatola ~inside~ tank corps school )

I never saw it while there, rumored to be there tho

14:28

got OR'd with BingoBoingo's line in my head

14:29

mircea_popescu: 'than it's worth' is complicated -- how much is worth the seekret of 'usg has 0 au' ?

14:29

0.

14:29

evidently the derps themselves, think >0

14:29

secret someone has something is worth the finder's fee, which is why it's called that. 10%.

14:29

10% of nothing is...

14:30

mircea_popescu: iirc you were the one who wrote about that one mountain in ro

14:30

(if it's not worth 0 to you, you just got a fix of your value to the usg! that's how much zek tack you're carrying)

14:30

with the unknown 'but thought large' pile of au in it

14:31

asciilifeform specifically http://trilema.com/2011/jaful-si-economia/#selection-67.0-69.357

14:31

mircea_popescu: i personally dun give even nanofuck whether knox contains megatonne of au, or 0, or nixon's used condom from when he was permitted inside.

14:32

just saying, the value of showing negatives is very much jealous wife interest.

14:32

but if somehow item seeing sunlight would help hitler to die -- then i'd like to see it .

14:33

we do this cyclical "i don't understand why figment of my imagination is something i imagine" "because you do" "but what sort of worship do i owe figment of my imagination ?" "none" "what about waking every morning at 5 and saying figment don't exist in a hoarse voice ?" "nope"

14:33

and so onnnnn.

14:34

mircea_popescu: so the classical model where 'they have a box with possibly 0, but the 0 not known for certain, so they can borrow from beijing against $box' entirely off ?

14:34

"borrow". chinese ppls give them freebies. what, i know a guy named shaun who has a girl who's not a whore who he lends money to now and again.

14:35

why , i still dunget, would they do this.

14:35

( would you do this, if you were gensek of cn ?? )

14:35

well who the fuck knows. nobody understands chinese -- not even the speakers.

14:35

i certainly do not.

14:35

but in any case, if you suspect it's an actual economic transaction, fill your own empty box with nothing, go see if it works.

14:36

economy means some trings, strictly. if it's not substitutable it's not economical.

14:36

the old (nao mostly dead) institution of zek mortgage, was exactly this tho

14:36

a miniature version of same 'sacrament', for plebes, as usg itself partakes in

14:37

possibly consists of >1 cuttable entities , that would fit, but i do not know what they are yet.

15:32

sadly fits in the box of "managed to produce >10mn hussies 16 years ago, none of which are sharp enough to pick up easy money here"

15:32

this also

15:33

( or did it produce ? maybe zapped, during 'one child' period ?? )

15:33

>10mn 15 years ago also. and 17 and 19 and so forth.

15:34

for all i know, they managed to birth only 100k for all 3.

15:34

hmm, fuck me, i'm wrong. they only make about 17mn or so a year, both genders. for some reason i tought moar like 25.

think, we could buy china's entire production of abducted baby for like... a decade

15:37

yet somehow can't find a SINGLE chick smart enough to figure out gpg.

15:38

it prolly aint lang barrier -- recall, they saw phuctor and translated, correctly, and even avoided swallowing boeck etc

15:38

( and, also recall, they ran uncle al's eotvos experiment... )

15:39

as i gather, they treat the anglos similarly to how tmsr -- take anyffing not bolted down, but do not hurry to give back.

15:49

"language barrier" is another word for stupid.

15:50

or lazy ?

15:51

and which one are we , i for instance haven't learned cn yet

15:53

i suspect i might be too stupid to appreciate chinese "lang".

15:55

interestingly, jp -- tho saddled with same nonsense -- started work on phasing out hieroglyphs. the run is that they started in , what, 700 a.d., and still not finished

but anyway, in my case problem greatly compounded by failure to find sexually interesting chinese girl.

mircea_popescu would count girl born in china chinese, if she lived there, sure.

Eh, if you go to live anywhere a new language is spoken your accent can outrun acquiring finess in the language.

16:27

thats true

16:28

but consider the german of https://8ch.net/fascist/res/185.html#185 "I feel like my German translation is shit today. It's been a year since I've been in Europe and approaching six months plus of no classes"

16:28

even when applied to something as campbell-soup-can as strasser's nonsense.

16:29

fun fact : strass is how you say "cheap fake", even today, even in romanian.

16:31

(mostly because what's known (because marketed, duh) as "swarovski" today was bohemian crystal back in the days of my childhood, when 5-10lb fruit bowls of the stuff were commonly gifted ; but before that... it was strass

16:31

they even have strass.com!
