| IsambardPrince | MinceR, I watched that movie "The Beast" last night. | Nov 11 00:06 |
|---|---|---|
| IsambardPrince | Great movie. | Nov 11 00:06 |
| IsambardPrince | Where it leaves off though it makes it literally "up in the air" what happens to Konstantin. | Nov 11 00:06 |
| IsambardPrince | The Soviets are going to interrogate him once he gets back. | Nov 11 00:06 |
| IsambardPrince | His only hope is that the other two survivors of that tank, which he allowed to leave, die in the desert. (which is likely) | Nov 11 00:07 |
| IsambardPrince | When there's a trial, or an interrogation, or a bureaucracy involved, the last thing they want to hear is "You placed a crazy man in charge of that tank. He went off the rails. He shot our Afghan guide for no reason even though the guy was a loyal Communist Party Member. He tied me to a rock and left me with a live grenade behind my head intending to use me as a booby trap. Morale completely broke down. When the Afghans found me, | Nov 11 00:09 |
| IsambardPrince | the only reason they didn't kill me is because I helped them hunt down and destroy my own tank, and I was so pissed from being tied to a rock with a grenade that I agreed." | Nov 11 00:09 |
| IsambardPrince | That's the truth. Most people would side with Konstantin and agree that they would have done the same thing. | Nov 11 00:09 |
| IsambardPrince | But courts and boards of inquiry and other bureacracies don't reward the truth. | Nov 11 00:09 |
| IsambardPrince | If you tell them this version, it makes you a traitor, it embarrasses them because they should never have put such a man in charge of that tank, it just doesn't help anyone. | Nov 11 00:10 |
| IsambardPrince | So his best story is a mixture of lies and the truth. | Nov 11 00:10 |
| IsambardPrince | "Our Afghan guide was killed by sniper fire while we were roaming the desert lost without a map. Our tank was heavily damaged and hunted for days as we tried to navigate what turned out to be a cul de sac only to find out that we had to turn back and face the rebels again. Our commander was heroic. We fought them to the last shell and bullet. When they damaged the main gun and tread with a lucky RPG hit, we had to bail out and fight | Nov 11 00:13 |
| IsambardPrince | them with rifles and small arms and grenades. Sadly, they killed our commander. I have no idea what happened to the other two men, because everything was happening too quickly. Then one of our search and rescue helicopters scared off the rebels right as they were going to kill me, and that's the only reason I survived." | Nov 11 00:13 |
| andy2 | I watched that film Isambard | Nov 11 00:14 |
| andy2 | quite good depiction of USSR.Afgan campaign | Nov 11 00:15 |
| andy2 | the scale of terrain | Nov 11 00:15 |
| andy2 | te impasses | Nov 11 00:15 |
| andy2 | what stuck with, apat from the mad tank commander was a few things | Nov 11 00:16 |
| andy2 | that they would not admit they were lost and so it got worse and worse | Nov 11 00:16 |
| andy2 | and they poisoned the well/oasis, so that they killed the only rescuers wgo might help them | Nov 11 00:17 |
| andy2 | it was a tale of arrogance and self-defeat | Nov 11 00:18 |
| andy2 | reminiscent of some Vietnam films | Nov 11 00:19 |
| *IsambardPrince has quit (connection closed) | Nov 11 00:20 | |

| IsambardPrince | Yeah, when they got to the part where they killed their own helicopter crew and it pans out to that spent cyanide canister I was like "Whoops." | Nov 11 00:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Actually, first I had to quote Woody from Toy Story. | Nov 11 00:25 |
| andy2 | yea that was wretched | Nov 11 00:25 |
| IsambardPrince | "Somebody's poisoned the water hole!" | Nov 11 00:25 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, ^ | Nov 11 00:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Well, the Russians are some nasty customers. | Nov 11 00:25 |
| andy2 | and when the women cut the guys toes off so he couldnt walk in the desert... or did I imagine that | Nov 11 00:26 |
| IsambardPrince | They dropped booby traps that were designed to get children to pick them up so they would lose an arm or a leg. | Nov 11 00:26 |
| IsambardPrince | The idea was booby trap everything. They didn't want to kill the person who set it off. | Nov 11 00:26 |
| IsambardPrince | They wanted to maim. | Nov 11 00:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Killing someone means the others bury them and go right on fighting. | Nov 11 00:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Wounding them makes them a drag that requires the others to stop and take care of them. | Nov 11 00:27 |
| IsambardPrince | <andy2> and when the women cut the guys toes off so he couldnt walk in the desert... or did I imagine that | Nov 11 00:27 |
| IsambardPrince | I did not see that. | Nov 11 00:27 |
| IsambardPrince | I saw the part where theor commander ordered them to run over a man with a tank, feet first. | Nov 11 00:27 |
| IsambardPrince | So he would scream to death while it was crushing him. | Nov 11 00:27 |
| IsambardPrince | That was absolutely twisted. | Nov 11 00:28 |
| IsambardPrince | It's no wonder why they lost that war. | Nov 11 00:28 |
| andy2 | I've got it on disk so I'll watch again and check (when I;ve the courage and in a bleak mood) | Nov 11 00:28 |
| IsambardPrince | Scorched Earth is the best recruitment strategy, for your enemy. | Nov 11 00:28 |
| andy2 | It also reminded me of Walts with Bashir | Nov 11 00:28 |
| andy2 | I met a couple of tankies and they all hated it...iron coffins they call em, you are a orisoner | Nov 11 00:29 |
| andy2 | prisoner in a box, every moment is panic | Nov 11 00:29 |
| andy2 | yeah scorched earth in Afganistan like Vietnam | Nov 11 00:30 |
| andy2 | well Afgan 1, no wonder the Taliban arose in the ashes | Nov 11 00:31 |
| andy2 | did you evert see the Adam Curtis docos about the roots of the Afgan conflicts? | Nov 11 00:34 |
| andy2 | Bitter Lake IIRC | Nov 11 00:34 |
| IsambardPrince | No I haven't. | Nov 11 00:34 |
| andy2 | Its a beautiful cinematography of green farmland at the start | Nov 11 00:34 |
| IsambardPrince | The US supplying the Afghan rebels wasn't designed to win the war quickly. | Nov 11 00:35 |
| andy2 | totally not what you envisage when thinking about Afganistan | Nov 11 00:35 |
| IsambardPrince | It was designed to bleed the Soviets for years. | Nov 11 00:35 |
| IsambardPrince | In a vacuum that was probably the most successful CIA intervention anywhere, ever. | Nov 11 00:35 |
| andy2 | yes, vefore the CIA funded/assisted phase | Nov 11 00:35 |
| IsambardPrince | Yes, the movie took placce in 1981. | Nov 11 00:36 |
| IsambardPrince | That was just as the idea was starting to circulate in Washington. | Nov 11 00:36 |
| andy2 | it was the usual influence, shit stirring to create west-friendly refie etc | Nov 11 00:36 |
| IsambardPrince | The rebels in the movie were not well armed, they were mostly limited to obsolete British rifles and captured Soviet stuff. | Nov 11 00:36 |
| andy2 | Mujuahadeen ? | Nov 11 00:36 |
| IsambardPrince | Charlie Wilson's War portrayed that part pretty well. | Nov 11 00:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah. | Nov 11 00:37 |
| IsambardPrince | At the end of that movie, he tried to get an Afghan reconstruction package through Congress. | Nov 11 00:37 |
| IsambardPrince | But nobody wants to do it because the point wasn't to help them, it was to hurt the Soviets and drive them out in disgrace. | Nov 11 00:37 |
| IsambardPrince | He warns that without rebuilding, it will become a hotbed of extremism. | Nov 11 00:37 |
| IsambardPrince | We had the opportunity to rebuild them, relatively cheaply compared to our own 20 year failed war. | Nov 11 00:38 |
| IsambardPrince | And end up with an ally in the region. | Nov 11 00:38 |
| andy2 | Not much to be done there except leave them alone and apologise. Some mates of mine were in Helmand , they said the local actually quite liked the Brits | Nov 11 00:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Nobody in the outgoing Reagan administration, incoming George HW Bush one, or Congress was going for it. | Nov 11 00:38 |
| IsambardPrince | Build some schools, roads, hospitals, houses. | Nov 11 00:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Relatively cheap. | Nov 11 00:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Keeps the worst people out. Relatively cheap. | Nov 11 00:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Going to war, very expensive. | Nov 11 00:39 |
| IsambardPrince | Lose anyway, Taliban come back. | Nov 11 00:39 |
| andy2 | But when we all left in hurry last time (10 years ago ??) we signed a death sentence for everyone who was part of the rebuild administration | Nov 11 00:40 |
| IsambardPrince | I think the package should have passed obviously. A rebuilding plan and some large shipments of food and medical supplies is a cheap way to buy a friend. | Nov 11 00:40 |
| andy2 | like that kid Malala whowas a female teacher, shot | Nov 11 00:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, the Soviets left behind an Afghan government in theory. | Nov 11 00:41 |
| IsambardPrince | I think it lasted what? A couple years? | Nov 11 00:41 |
| andy2 | at most | Nov 11 00:41 |
| andy2 | but yeahm Beast a good film, quite hard going | Nov 11 00:42 |
| andy2 | I wish I couldmake film | Nov 11 00:42 |
| andy2 | watching Werner Herzogs masterclass | Nov 11 00:43 |
| IsambardPrince | The Soviets propped up the Afghan government which is why it didn't fail immediately. | Nov 11 00:43 |
| IsambardPrince | The fall coincided with the Soviet Union collapse. | Nov 11 00:43 |
| IsambardPrince | All aid stops. | Nov 11 00:43 |
| andy2 | very good teacher | Nov 11 00:44 |
| andy2 | but I cant afford the gear, good cameras etc | Nov 11 00:44 |
| andy2 | Also Afganistan had a profound effect on young Russian vets , like Vitenam did on Americans in the 70s, lots of kids went back to Moscow etc completely fucked=up, and just being drunk, criminals | Nov 11 00:45 |
| IsambardPrince | I recall the initial Soviet collapse pretty well. At least its effects here throughout the 90s. | Nov 11 00:46 |
| IsambardPrince | Russian finances were utterly horrible. There was even a debt default that happened around the same time as the overall Asian financial crisis. | Nov 11 00:46 |
| andy2 | it stil feels fresh dor me too, from 89 onwards, I went to Hungary then for a summer | Nov 11 00:47 |
| IsambardPrince | Everyone started piling into US Treasuries and filling up their foreign reserves with it out of blind panic, which strengthened the Dollar. | Nov 11 00:47 |
| IsambardPrince | The unemployment rate in the US dropped to nearly nothing. | Nov 11 00:47 |
| IsambardPrince | GDP growth exploded. | Nov 11 00:47 |
| IsambardPrince | A dollar went a hell of a long way back then. | Nov 11 00:47 |
| andy2 | as it was all falling | Nov 11 00:47 |
| andy2 | very interesting atmosphere | Nov 11 00:47 |
| andy2 | why? | Nov 11 00:47 |
| IsambardPrince | We also had the dotcom bubble going on in the background. | Nov 11 00:48 |
| andy2 | yes , I took a 100 quid to Hungary and I was like RITCH!!! | Nov 11 00:48 |
| IsambardPrince | Things were going well, way too well. | Nov 11 00:48 |
| andy2 | mad economics, "your loss is my gain", we need a "tide that raises all ships" | Nov 11 00:50 |
| IsambardPrince | There's actually a term for trying to cause your neighbors harm to prop yourself up. | Nov 11 00:50 |
| MinceR | the latter is incompatible with Homo sapiens | Nov 11 00:50 |
| andy2 | whats wrong with the wold that "AI" turns into an "Arms race"?? | Nov 11 00:50 |
| IsambardPrince | It's pretty obvious. It's called "Beggar Thy Neighbor" economics. | Nov 11 00:50 |
| MinceR | "tide that raises all ships", that is | Nov 11 00:50 |
| MinceR | it was an arms race well before AI | Nov 11 00:50 |
| andy2 | beggar thy neighbour... I never heard of that | Nov 11 00:51 |
| MinceR | i think "May The Neighbor's Cow Die Also" is more fitting | Nov 11 00:51 |
| IsambardPrince | You try to cause their economies to fail, you try to export your inflation to them. Things like that. If they go to war, you fund and equip the other side. | Nov 11 00:51 |
| andy2 | Oh I remember Zixek telling that Srbian joke | Nov 11 00:51 |
| IsambardPrince | The Russians did this to us a few times. | Nov 11 00:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Like Korea or Vietnam. | Nov 11 00:52 |
| andy2 | A genie comes out of a bottle and says to the farmer "MAke your wish, but whatever you ask I will grant your neighbor two-fold | Nov 11 00:52 |
| IsambardPrince | There was a massive appetite for "payback" that led to Operation Cyclone. | Nov 11 00:52 |
| andy2 | and the farmer says "Take my eye" | Nov 11 00:52 |
| IsambardPrince | Had they not bothered us during the Korean and Vietnam wars, I doubt that we'd have been in that mood. | Nov 11 00:53 |
| andy2 | apparently "spitefulness" is the fifth dark axis, now its a "dark pentad" | Nov 11 00:54 |
| andy2 | pyschopathy | Nov 11 00:54 |
| andy2 | narcissism | Nov 11 00:54 |
| andy2 | ... hmm I forgot | Nov 11 00:54 |
| andy2 | machiavelianism | Nov 11 00:55 |
| andy2 | oh well thats three, I forgot one | Nov 11 00:55 |
| IsambardPrince | The Russians were trying to spread Communism everywhere. They actually couldn't afford to do that. | Nov 11 00:56 |
| IsambardPrince | The US was obviously not going to react well to that. | Nov 11 00:56 |
| andy2 | Isambard: but the "domino effect" was pretty much an imaginary menace right | Nov 11 00:57 |
| andy2 | most of those countries were mostly resistant to communism anyhow | Nov 11 00:57 |
| andy2 | it wasin the minds of USA leaders (Fr Strangelove stylee) | Nov 11 00:58 |
| andy2 | sapping our precious bodily fluids... | Nov 11 00:58 |
| IsambardPrince | Eh, Vietnam and North Korea were obviously very serious, Cuba too. | Nov 11 00:59 |
| andy2 | Cuba yes | Nov 11 00:59 |
| IsambardPrince | China stepped in when it became obvious North Korea would be defeated. | Nov 11 00:59 |
| IsambardPrince | They did not want the Americans at their border. | Nov 11 00:59 |
| MinceR | which of them were resistant to stalinism? | Nov 11 00:59 |
| andy2 | my dad dought in Korea | Nov 11 00:59 |
| IsambardPrince | My grandfathers did and so did my great uncle Howard. | Nov 11 01:00 |
| IsambardPrince | All three were WWII veterans who went back and voluntarily re-enlisted. | Nov 11 01:00 |
| andy2 | old man didn't talk about that one much | Nov 11 01:00 |
| *includeals has quit (Quit: ZNC - https://znc.in) | Nov 11 01:00 | |
| IsambardPrince | Howard was one of the ones that liberated a concentration camp and shot the guards as they were trying to surrender. | Nov 11 01:00 |
| IsambardPrince | Patton was the reason nobody who took part in that was court martialed. | Nov 11 01:01 |

| andy2 | THye make loads of Vietnam movies, Korea notsomuch | Nov 11 01:01 |
| IsambardPrince | There wasn't much sympathy in the higher ranks for concentration camp guards and SS who threw their hands in the air and smiled next to a pile of people they had murdered. | Nov 11 01:01 |

| andy2 | cant blame your uncle really | Nov 11 01:02 |
| IsambardPrince | They expected to just surrender and be treated like defeated soldiers on a battlefield. | Nov 11 01:02 |
| IsambardPrince | Insane, really. | Nov 11 01:02 |
| andy2 | bit late for "surrender" | Nov 11 01:02 |
| MinceR | just human things | Nov 11 01:02 |
| IsambardPrince | Defeated soldiers have rights. War criminals at an active crime scene, not so much. | Nov 11 01:03 |
| MinceR | you can see now that it's far from just the germans, italians and hungarians who can be easily manipulated into being nazis | Nov 11 01:03 |
| MinceR | pretty much all devil apes can be | Nov 11 01:03 |
| IsambardPrince | Brandon Lobster and the guy who has "sweatpants with cum and cheetos" and hurts his wife's dog, allegedly, called me a Nazi | Nov 11 01:04 |
| andy2 | Inside every devil-ape is a guman being trying to get out MinceR | Nov 11 01:04 |
| IsambardPrince | I'm not a Nazi. | Nov 11 01:04 |
| MinceR | humans are devil apes | Nov 11 01:04 |
| IsambardPrince | Had I been there with Howard I wouldn't have shot an SS officer, too easy. | Nov 11 01:04 |
| IsambardPrince | I would have had some people pin him to the wall while I bashed his brains in with the butt of my rifle. | Nov 11 01:05 |
| IsambardPrince | What happened there is so enraging, I mean, it just bothers me that anyone wanted to have a court martial. | Nov 11 01:05 |
| andy2 | I think I;d be too overwhelmed to act, literally seeing a pyramind of bodies | Nov 11 01:06 |
| andy2 | and I guess the smell wasn't great | Nov 11 01:07 |
| IsambardPrince | Yes, there were so many bodies that the British had to bring in bulldozers. | Nov 11 01:07 |
| andy2 | but then I guess the liberators were prepped for what to expect | Nov 11 01:07 |
| IsambardPrince | It's so horrific that any normal person that sees the footage, it doesn't feel like "It happened 80 years ago." | Nov 11 01:08 |
| andy2 | the knew what they were waling into? | Nov 11 01:08 |
| IsambardPrince | When the British liberated Belsen on April 15, 1945, there were over 13,000 unburied bodies lying around the camp in the open air, and a rampant typhus epidemic that was killing 500 to 1,000 people every single day. | Nov 11 01:09 |
| andy2 | hell on earth | Nov 11 01:09 |
| MinceR | earth is hell, ever since humans reared their ugly heads on it | Nov 11 01:09 |
| IsambardPrince | The British army brought in medical units, but to stop a catastrophic disease outbreak that would kill the remaining 60,000 survivors, they had no choice. Royal Engineers had to use bulldozers to bury thousands of bodies into massive collective graves. | Nov 11 01:09 |
| IsambardPrince | Before using the dozers, British troops forced captured SS guards, at gunpoint, to manually load the rotting corpses onto trucks to be moved to the pits. | Nov 11 01:10 |
| andy2 | In Schindlers, I recall that scene Speilberg did of the SS officer just creaming in madness at it all | Nov 11 01:10 |
| andy2 | screaming | Nov 11 01:10 |
| andy2 | at the pyres | Nov 11 01:11 |
| andy2 | there's a pretty dark scene in "Civil War" with the mass graves in USA. I could feel that scene bite hard. | Nov 11 01:13 |
| andy2 | "Ordinary Men" is a good read to see how easy it can happen anyehere | Nov 11 01:14 |
| parsifal | all in all, a pleasant thematic evening discussion... ;> | Nov 11 01:14 |
| andy2 | LOL | Nov 11 01:14 |
| andy2 | Isambard started it with Beast | Nov 11 01:15 |
| IsambardPrince | I think it started out with the movie The Beast. Basically anything that involves the Russians is going to end badly. | Nov 11 01:15 |
| andy2 | I was fonna talk about kittens | Nov 11 01:15 |
| IsambardPrince | Nuclear power, wars, uhhhh all those times they got themselves in trouble with the Stargate. | Nov 11 01:15 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, ^ | Nov 11 01:15 |
| MinceR | :> | Nov 11 01:15 |
| IsambardPrince | I mentioned the Chernobyl mini-series in here once. | Nov 11 01:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Someone said "Worst episode of Kitchen Nightmare ever." | Nov 11 01:16 |
| andy2 | Oh that was excelent | Nov 11 01:16 |
| IsambardPrince | That was good. | Nov 11 01:16 |
| MinceR | :> | Nov 11 01:16 |
| andy2 | I remember the day we allhad to go inside and go home home fromschool early | Nov 11 01:16 |
| andy2 | 85? | Nov 11 01:17 |
| IsambardPrince | 86 I think | Nov 11 01:17 |
| andy2 | yeah | Nov 11 01:17 |
| andy2 | I wonder if that would have beetter or worse if a woman had been in charge of the control room that day | Nov 11 01:18 |
| MinceR | no | Nov 11 01:18 |
| IsambardPrince | Well anyone would have been better than Anatoly Dyatlov. | Nov 11 01:18 |
| IsambardPrince | Even me. | Nov 11 01:18 |
| MinceR | communists generally all act the same, regardless of genitals | Nov 11 01:18 |
| andy2 | fear of the Party? | Nov 11 01:19 |
| MinceR | yeah | Nov 11 01:19 |
| IsambardPrince | I know jack shit about nuclear reactors but I know enough to not try to quickly reactivate one that's being poisoned. | Nov 11 01:19 |
| MinceR | and instructions from above, and general attitude | Nov 11 01:19 |
| IsambardPrince | The same thing kind of happened up in Zion, Illinois in 1998. | Nov 11 01:19 |
| MinceR | including what led to the extremely dangerous design of the RBMK | Nov 11 01:19 |
| IsambardPrince | The guy accidentally shut down the reactor too fast then tried to bring it right back up. | Nov 11 01:19 |
| IsambardPrince | It cracked in half. | Nov 11 01:19 |
| andy2 | Was that "three mle island"? | Nov 11 01:19 |
| IsambardPrince | They shut the entire plant down because running it on one reactor wouldn't be profitable. | Nov 11 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | No. | Nov 11 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Three Mile Island melted down partially. | Nov 11 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | The one up in Zion just cracked. It destroyed the reactor but it was shut down with no radiation leak. It did not melt down. | Nov 11 01:20 |
| IsambardPrince | They still store the waste on site almost 30 years later. | Nov 11 01:21 |
| IsambardPrince | The plant has been completely dismantled though. | Nov 11 01:21 |
| IsambardPrince | There are armed guards there. | Nov 11 01:21 |
| IsambardPrince | andy2, I was talking to my ex about that one. | Nov 11 01:21 |
| IsambardPrince | I said, "So how'd you like to be the technician that cracked a nuclear reactor in half?" | Nov 11 01:21 |
| andy2 | people would take the waste for dirty bombs? | Nov 11 01:22 |
| IsambardPrince | "Go apply for a job at Jewel-Osco." | Nov 11 01:22 |
| IsambardPrince | "So tell me about your last job." | Nov 11 01:22 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, ^ | Nov 11 01:22 |
| andy2 | LOL | Nov 11 01:22 |
| MinceR | :> | Nov 11 01:22 |
| MinceR | i doubt there would be much of an issue | Nov 11 01:22 |
| andy2 | Yea I wouldleave that one off my resume | Nov 11 01:22 |
| MinceR | given that the sort of people who vomit out code at microslop somehow keep getting employed | Nov 11 01:22 |
| IsambardPrince | "Well I cracked a nuclear reactor right down the middle and now I want to run a cash register." | Nov 11 01:22 |
| IsambardPrince | "The good news is the cash register can't melt down." | Nov 11 01:23 |
| MinceR | many of them are even widely respected, despite having inferior mental (let alone engineering) capabilities to a bucket of gravel | Nov 11 01:23 |
| MinceR | incompetence, malice and lack of care are the standard for devil apes | Nov 11 01:23 |
| andy2 | Homer employing the little nodding bird to monitor the reactor is a bit like using a LLM now.... stupid bird!! | Nov 11 01:24 |
| MinceR | like when i tried to buy a 10-pack of 9-packs of paper tissues at a grocery store | Nov 11 01:24 |
| MinceR | after having half an hour of my life wasted by a broken self-serve cash register, it turned out that they put the package on the shelf but did not enter its UPC/EAN into the system | Nov 11 01:24 |

| *x-amarsh04 has quit (Ping timeout: 2m30s) | Nov 11 01:24 | |
| MinceR | and the ingenious "solution" was that i was supposed to unpack it and buy all the little packages individually | Nov 11 01:24 |
| MinceR | naturally, for lots of money | Nov 11 01:25 |
| MinceR | so i left | Nov 11 01:25 |
| MinceR | people put up with this shit routinely, so corporations like that one don't go bust. | Nov 11 01:25 |
| MinceR | or i could list pretty much everything microslop has ever done. | Nov 11 01:25 |
| MinceR | and yet microslop is worshipped like gods even now. | Nov 11 01:25 |
| IsambardPrince | I remember that episode of The Simpson's. | Nov 11 01:25 |
| parsifal | <Chernobyl mini-series> -> very good series, exceptional attention to detail and authenticity | Nov 11 01:25 |
| IsambardPrince | One of my favorites. | Nov 11 01:26 |
| parsifal | also evident in every detail is the incredible respect for the liquidators heroes who participated in extinguishing this hell | Nov 11 01:26 |
| MinceR | nothing fucking works on this planet and hardly anyone minds. | Nov 11 01:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Homer deliberately becomes too obese to leave the house and then invokes the ADA to get a work from home position. | Nov 11 01:26 |
| admfubar | another reason to avoid "smart" anything... https://www.theregister.com/a/5308728 | Nov 11 01:26 |
| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.theregister.com | Smart meters to cost the UK billions: 2G switch-off means replacing 12-13 million | Nov 11 01:26 | |
| MinceR | someone should extinguish the rest of this hell | Nov 11 01:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Then he has the bird on his desk bob up and down hitting "Y" until the plant is about to melt down. | Nov 11 01:26 |

| andy2 | I think youre right MinceR | Nov 11 01:27 |
| *x-amarsh04 (~amarsh04@6mnab3uw5dgtk.irc) has joined #techrights | Nov 11 01:27 | |
| andy2 | its not looking good, I get people calling me randomly now and again... hey andy, remember you told me about thet Linux thing.... where can I get it ? | Nov 11 01:28 |
| MinceR | that Linux thing is also fucked | Nov 11 01:29 |
| MinceR | thoroughly | Nov 11 01:29 |
| andy2 | three friends ir relatives in the past month | Nov 11 01:29 |
| MinceR | partly because someone had the bright idea of letting microslop fuck with it | Nov 11 01:29 |
| andy2 | we know MinceR, but I;m justsaying, the exodus for Windows is really in motion now | Nov 11 01:30 |
| MinceR | yeah, but at this point it's pretty much a no-op | Nov 11 01:30 |
| andy2 | and I am impressed that forks and no-AI versions are vlossoming | Nov 11 01:31 |
| MinceR | from one unworkable bloated pile of shit that was fucked up by the redmond mafia to another unworkable bloated pile of shit that was fucked up by the redmond mafia | Nov 11 01:31 |
| MinceR | intHell also took part | Nov 11 01:31 |
| MinceR | i had to buy a USB WiFi adapter because iwlwifi can barely do 300 kB/s now | Nov 11 01:31 |
| MinceR | and one download can starve everything else (including mosh and ping) of bandwidth | Nov 11 01:32 |
| MinceR | intHell also fucked up S3 suspend support for ThinkPad X1 Carbon G10 years ago in Linux | Nov 11 01:32 |
| MinceR | and it's still broken, and it will never get fixed | Nov 11 01:32 |
| MinceR | because nobody gives a fuck | Nov 11 01:32 |
| MinceR | newer laptops can't even suspend properly because microslop fucked that up too | Nov 11 01:33 |
| andy2 | there is a younger generation whoneed to learn to code. FOSS works in principle, a bit like democracy proved by the mid-terms :), so long as the basic idea is sound we will triumph | Nov 11 01:33 |
| MinceR | people must love for their things to be broken, otherwise they'd have stopped letting microslop have a say in how they work by now | Nov 11 01:33 |
| MinceR | microslop figured out how to kill FOSS | Nov 11 01:33 |
| MinceR | and at the same time, most people gave up on FOSS | Nov 11 01:33 |
| andy2 | I think many people do not know (never knew) what GOOD and adequately functional looks like | Nov 11 01:34 |
| MinceR | now we have legions of incompetent code monkeys on corporate payrolls shitting out code that doesn't work | Nov 11 01:34 |
| MinceR | posing as "open source" | Nov 11 01:34 |
| andy2 | like when you frow up in poverty | Nov 11 01:34 |
| MinceR | i think it's time to let nature heal and try again | Nov 11 01:34 |
| andy2 | you accept what youre given | Nov 11 01:34 |
| MinceR | humans are unworkable and are taking up space and polluting the planet | Nov 11 01:35 |
| MinceR | it's time for humanity to go away | Nov 11 01:35 |
| andy2 | some would say "humanity" has already hone away ;) | Nov 11 01:35 |
| MinceR | sadly, there are over 8 billion devil apes around still | Nov 11 01:35 |
| andy2 | getting it back is my focud | Nov 11 01:35 |
| andy2 | that's 8 billion chances for change | Nov 11 01:36 |
| andy2 | if you belive in the power of one person to change things | Nov 11 01:36 |
| MinceR | for every person who tries to change things, there are ~8 billion people who will do everything in their power to prevent that change | Nov 11 01:37 |
| andy2 | companues like Microsoft and Google aclimatised us to a poor expectation of technology | Nov 11 01:37 |
| MinceR | that's what microslop did too | Nov 11 01:37 |
| MinceR | people tried to take control of their own property | Nov 11 01:37 |
| MinceR | microslop came down on them with SJW troll hordes and CoC-s | Nov 11 01:38 |
| MinceR | and corruption | Nov 11 01:38 |
| andy2 | fuck Microsoft, they are nothing now | Nov 11 01:38 |
| andy2 | forget about them | Nov 11 01:38 |
| MinceR | they own Linux now | Nov 11 01:38 |
| MinceR | they tell intHell, AMD and ARM how to fuck up computers and how to make them unusable | Nov 11 01:39 |
| andy2 | you make the enemy in your mind | Nov 11 01:39 |
| MinceR | no, i don't | Nov 11 01:39 |
| MinceR | microslop owns rust, and that fad is also everywhere | Nov 11 01:39 |
| MinceR | authoritarian people love it because it's a bondage-and-discipline language | Nov 11 01:39 |
| MinceR | the FSF was corrupted into giving up | Nov 11 01:39 |
| MinceR | torvalds probably never even cared in the first place | Nov 11 01:40 |
| andy2 | it's warrior/military saying yeah, about not building up the enemy in your mind, or else you lost the battle before you started | Nov 11 01:40 |
| MinceR | no, i've already lost the battle | Nov 11 01:40 |
| MinceR | i'm not a Dark Triad monster, i don't get to command millions to do my bidding | Nov 11 01:40 |
| MinceR | and the majority of devil apes have Authoritarian Personality Type -- they won't settle for being brutally oppressed, they want everyone else to be brutally oppressed too | Nov 11 01:41 |
| andy2 | then how can you help? Its not good to demoralise others. If we are fighting for "tecg rights" (of which FOSS offers more) | Nov 11 01:41 |
| MinceR | i don't know, maybe i can develop a weapon to exterminate humanity, to enable nature to try again | Nov 11 01:42 |
| parsifal | ...lol | Nov 11 01:42 |
| MinceR | though with only 1 million years before the Sun boils away the oceans and atmosphere, it's not a good starting position either | Nov 11 01:42 |
| andy2 | okay that's a postive attitude... a weapon.... it's a start ;) | Nov 11 01:42 |
| andy2 | could youjust build us one that destrots Microsoft? | Nov 11 01:43 |
| MinceR | that seems to be a lot more difficult | Nov 11 01:43 |
| MinceR | how do you detect that a particular devil ape is a microslop worshipper? | Nov 11 01:43 |
| MinceR | s/million/billion/ | Nov 11 01:44 |
| andy2 | So its more difficult to destroy a bunch of poor wage slaves who can't code than the whole ofhumanity | Nov 11 01:44 |
| andy2 | anyway you don't need to destrory them,just liberate them | Nov 11 01:44 |
| MinceR | they're not all wage slaves | Nov 11 01:44 |
| MinceR | how do you liberate people who want to be slaves? | Nov 11 01:45 |
| MinceR | brain transplantation? | Nov 11 01:45 |
| andy2 | before they end uplike those dude in the camps we were talking about | Nov 11 01:45 |
| MinceR | the best you can do is protect yourself from those people by killing them | Nov 11 01:45 |
| andy2 | Inside every Midrosofter is a real Linux programmer trying to get out | Nov 11 01:46 |
| MinceR | that depends on how you define "Linux programmer" | Nov 11 01:46 |
| MinceR | is kay sievers a "Linux programmer"? | Nov 11 01:46 |
| MinceR | is lennart poettering a "Linux programmer"? | Nov 11 01:46 |
| andy2 | sorry I kust got that Full Metal Hacket line as a brain-worm | Nov 11 01:46 |
| andy2 | I dunno Poettering , he seems a bit of a nob end to be honest | Nov 11 01:47 |
| andy2 | sounds lie he should be a code Poet | Nov 11 01:47 |
| MinceR | microsloppers are too stupid to be worth trusting with anything, let alone computers | Nov 11 01:47 |
| andy2 | Man you really hate those guys | Nov 11 01:48 |
| MinceR | those guys ended the industry i wanted to work in, and all of our technology depends on that industry | Nov 11 01:48 |
| andy2 | It;s just the Butlins goliday camp of computer science | Nov 11 01:48 |
| MinceR | those guys pushed our species into a slow and painful road to extinction | Nov 11 01:49 |
| andy2 | no we did | Nov 11 01:49 |
| MinceR | the best result we can hope for is a meteoroid that we could have otherwise stopped, if we had working technology, hitting us and wiping us out quickly and painlessly | Nov 11 01:49 |
| andy2 | hmm but in that film Dont Look Up some of them escaped to another planet | Nov 11 01:50 |
| MinceR | or a gamma ray burst -- then we could cope with the thought that we could not have protected ourselves even if we hadn't crippled our own potential out of sheer malice | Nov 11 01:50 |
| andy2 | like the Golfafrincgans in Hitchikers guide | Nov 11 01:50 |
| MinceR | escaping to another planet is really difficult, even if you don't make computers unusable | Nov 11 01:50 |
| andy2 | that;s your worst nightmate... devil apes spreading our across the galaxy | Nov 11 01:51 |
| MinceR | well, if they could spread, they'd have to be a great deal more advanced than we are now | Nov 11 01:51 |
| andy2 | Microsfters colonising Mars | Nov 11 01:51 |
| MinceR | we can barely mark another planet in this solar system | Nov 11 01:51 |
| MinceR | yeah, let microsloppers find out that the life support system they designed works exactly as well as any other microslop product | Nov 11 01:52 |
| MinceR | a fitting and painful way to die | Nov 11 01:52 |
| andy2 | yeah I agree, we should fix this one | Nov 11 01:52 |
| MinceR | also, let them find out that their own code considers trying to open the pod bay doors an attempt at "tampering" | Nov 11 01:52 |
| andy2 | LOL. yeah the look on their faces when they realise the life support system is "Updating" | Nov 11 01:52 |
| MinceR | :> | Nov 11 01:53 |
| andy2 | Need a better plan | Nov 11 01:53 |
| MinceR | or that it just needs to phone home and check whether the license is still valid, real quick | Nov 11 01:53 |
| MinceR | just hold your breath, it will be over soon | Nov 11 01:53 |
| andy2 | I have kids | Nov 11 01:54 |
| MinceR | sad | Nov 11 01:54 |
| MinceR | you should have prevented them | Nov 11 01:54 |
| MinceR | i would enjoy this show a lot more if i could watch from the outside, unaffected, how devil apes doom themselves | Nov 11 01:55 |
| MinceR | i bet it would actually be funny that way | Nov 11 01:55 |
| andy2 | that's what makes us soldiers, not money, not vanity, not patriotism, at the end of the day its those pesky damn kids why most peeps keep fighting for somethinf | Nov 11 01:55 |
| andy2 | instinct | Nov 11 01:56 |
| MinceR | where are our weapons? where are the other soldiers? where is our shred of a chance at winning? | Nov 11 01:56 |
| MinceR | and what would winning even be? | Nov 11 01:56 |
| andy2 | Those are great questions | Nov 11 01:56 |
| andy2 | Thats a great start | Nov 11 01:57 |
| MinceR | getting just about anything done requires technology, and our technology base is thoroughly poisoned | Nov 11 01:57 |
| andy2 | nonsense | Nov 11 01:57 |
| MinceR | even the hardware i can get is thoroughly fucked | Nov 11 01:57 |
| andy2 | we get jung upon other people;s definition of "technology", and their psyops to sap us | Nov 11 01:58 |
| MinceR | multiple ways to hide code from the OS build into the CPU for no good reason, broken power management, lots of hardware elements for which only thoroughly shitty drivers are available | Nov 11 01:58 |
| MinceR | s/ild/ilt/ | Nov 11 01:58 |
| MinceR | meanwhile our enemies are moving to fuck up what's left of the Internet and barely anyone even recognizes the threat | Nov 11 01:59 |
| MinceR | how do i build my own WAN, alone? | Nov 11 01:59 |
| andy2 | going back to the topic of Vietname and Afganistan, how did those little guys win? | Nov 11 01:59 |
| MinceR | they did not win | Nov 11 01:59 |
| MinceR | they managed to get the worse kind of oppressor to rule them | Nov 11 01:59 |
| andy2 | How did people with no tech hand our arses to us on a plate? | Nov 11 01:59 |
| MinceR | usians gave up, pretty much | Nov 11 02:00 |
| MinceR | and the people who thought they won are fucked | Nov 11 02:00 |
| andy2 | They spiflicated us , in multiple theatres of operation | Nov 11 02:00 |
| parsifal | No matter what the Russians did, and it’s not as if they handled things with kid gloves, they were bound to lose anyway. Afghanistan is a unique place with a unique population. | Nov 11 02:00 |
| MinceR | vietnamese live under a stalinist dictatorship aligned with the chinese empire and muscovy | Nov 11 02:00 |
| parsifal | Shooting, slaughtering, and killing one another along clan lines, that’s practically a national sport over there. The people are tough and accustomed to hardship and a difficult life. | Nov 11 02:00 |
| andy2 | but you;re avoiding my point, When did "technology" ever really matter? | Nov 11 02:01 |
| MinceR | afghanistani live under a muslim fundamentalist dictatorship, also aligned with the axis of evil | Nov 11 02:01 |
| MinceR | technology matters if you want to survive the Sun becoming a red giant | Nov 11 02:01 |
| andy2 | mindset | Nov 11 02:01 |
| MinceR | like it or not, prayer does fuck all against it | Nov 11 02:01 |
| andy2 | we;ve lost our mindset | Nov 11 02:02 |
| MinceR | most devil apes don't have a mind | Nov 11 02:02 |
| andy2 | must be regained | Nov 11 02:02 |
| MinceR | can't be | Nov 11 02:02 |
| andy2 | who says? | Nov 11 02:02 |
| MinceR | the memes that control them say so | Nov 11 02:02 |
| MinceR | good luck healing a devil ape of christianity or islam | Nov 11 02:03 |
| MinceR | or stalinism | Nov 11 02:03 |
| MinceR | or nazism | Nov 11 02:03 |
| MinceR | or microslopism | Nov 11 02:03 |
| MinceR | and i could keep going, but i won't | Nov 11 02:03 |
| MinceR | these memes are where they are because they're virulent and tenacious | Nov 11 02:03 |
| andy2 | you crescendo with Microslopism, no need to elaborate | Nov 11 02:04 |
| MinceR | we can only hope that whatever comes after us will have some sort of immune system against memes | Nov 11 02:04 |
| andy2 | I rememer now I did a video on technofascism and the lime "where are the mass graves at Microsoft" just came back to me | Nov 11 02:05 |
| MinceR | they don't need to kill your body if they can kill your mind | Nov 11 02:05 |
| andy2 | I know, I used 365 for a day once | Nov 11 02:06 |
| andy2 | we can do better | Nov 11 02:07 |
| MinceR | it's possible to do better | Nov 11 02:07 |
| MinceR | i'm not sure if we can while 8 billion devil apes are doing everything they can to stop us | Nov 11 02:07 |
| andy2 | so, in this mision, you are chief WMD officer MinceR? | Nov 11 02:08 |
| MinceR | microslop did not allow the free software community to build a usable OS | Nov 11 02:08 |
| MinceR | they poisoned and corrupted the community, and took over or destroyed most of what resulted from it | Nov 11 02:08 |
| MinceR | i have no position nor rank, i hardly have any allies i know of | Nov 11 02:08 |
| andy2 | and you're working on a small yield device to blow the minds of Microsofters, and free them | Nov 11 02:09 |
| MinceR | i don't even know what sort of device it would be | Nov 11 02:09 |
| andy2 | just start with the basic assumption it exists | Nov 11 02:10 |
| andy2 | have tyou watched/read SICP | Nov 11 02:10 |
| andy2 | Sussman explains magic spells | Nov 11 02:10 |
| MinceR | i have | Nov 11 02:10 |
| andy2 | so remember befin with the assumption the functionm exists | Nov 11 02:11 |
| andy2 | the build backwards | Nov 11 02:11 |
| andy2 | in your mins you already won | Nov 11 02:11 |
| andy2 | mind | Nov 11 02:11 |
| andy2 | the rest is detail | Nov 11 02:11 |
| andy2 | exciting times | Nov 11 02:12 |
| andy2 | allies | Nov 11 02:12 |
| andy2 | you have friends everywhere | Nov 11 02:12 |
| MinceR | then they hide well | Nov 11 02:13 |
| andy2 | you scare them | Nov 11 02:13 |
| IsambardPrince | Linux is so fucked the most pleasant way to deal with it is on a Chromebook. | Nov 11 02:13 |
| IsambardPrince | In a VM. | Nov 11 02:13 |
| MinceR | Linux runs directly on a chromebook | Nov 11 02:14 |
| IsambardPrince | Where all the crackpot shit that's in it can't touch anything important. | Nov 11 02:14 |
| IsambardPrince | And UEFI is not the firmware. | Nov 11 02:14 |
| IsambardPrince | Yes, it runs on Linux the kernel. | Nov 11 02:14 |
| MinceR | how sure are you that chrome os doesn't have any of the crackpot shit in it yet? | Nov 11 02:14 |
| IsambardPrince | But unlike regular distributions it does not rely on Wayland or systemd or pulseaudio. | Nov 11 02:14 |
| andy2 | Linux is like it got stuck on the sofa watcging cable and sttuffed its face with burgers until it couldnt get up yo take a shit | Nov 11 02:15 |
| IsambardPrince | Bluetooth also seems to work more reliably on Chromebooks. | Nov 11 02:15 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR, Kiki is acting so sweet today. | Nov 11 02:15 |
| IsambardPrince | Makes me wonder what she's plotting. | Nov 11 02:15 |
| MinceR | :> | Nov 11 02:15 |
| IsambardPrince | "Tonight after I do this I think I'll claw your couch and then bite you." | Nov 11 02:15 |
| andy2 | You love cats Isambard? | Nov 11 02:15 |
| IsambardPrince | Yes. | Nov 11 02:16 |
| andy2 | ok | Nov 11 02:16 |
| MinceR | Linux itself is increasingly crackpot shit | Nov 11 02:16 |
| IsambardPrince | It is. | Nov 11 02:16 |
| andy2 | reach out to Jay Little (see his blog) he lost his cat | Nov 11 02:16 |
| IsambardPrince | It was fairly reliable in the KDE 3 days. | Nov 11 02:16 |
| MinceR | indeed | Nov 11 02:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Too many abstraction layers, Qt. is now pretty bloated. | Nov 11 02:17 |
| IsambardPrince | Especially WebEngine. | Nov 11 02:17 |
| IsambardPrince | They "backport CVEs" which is not good enough. | Nov 11 02:17 |
| andy2 | remember when they called KDE "Kids desktop" | Nov 11 02:17 |
| IsambardPrince | Many bugs which don't get CVEs are fixed. | Nov 11 02:17 |
| IsambardPrince | Upstream. | Nov 11 02:18 |
| IsambardPrince | And those have security implications. | Nov 11 02:18 |
| MinceR | GTK (formerly GIMP ToolKit) manages to be bloated while lacking widgets to support GIMP | Nov 11 02:18 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2] says he uses the KDE browser. | Nov 11 02:18 |
| andy2 | when KDE was a bit over-themed | Nov 11 02:18 |
| MinceR | well, now microslop puppets at Indian Bowel Movement decide on the theme of your desktop | Nov 11 02:18 |
| MinceR | because muh branding | Nov 11 02:18 |
| andy2 | LOL IBM | Nov 11 02:18 |
| IsambardPrince | I've been back and forth on desktops but GNOME is unusable and now it's that or KDE because that laptop has a HiDPI screen. | Nov 11 02:19 |
| MinceR | also, can't have innovation on a free desktop because it keeps making crApple and microslop look bad | Nov 11 02:19 |
| IsambardPrince | It's 10 years old and has a better screen than most modern laptops. | Nov 11 02:19 |
| MinceR | but it seems that the masses don't want it anyway | Nov 11 02:19 |
| MinceR | they prefer to be controlled by microslop and crApple | Nov 11 02:19 |
| andy2 | I quite like it now, I put it on the last migration for someone | Nov 11 02:19 |
| MinceR | and they prefer for you to be controlled by microslop and crApple as well | Nov 11 02:19 |
| andy2 | the basic defaults are simple | Nov 11 02:20 |
| andy2 | which is what a Linux noob needs | Nov 11 02:20 |
| MinceR | i got tired of KDE when Plasma regularly forgot its settings and then the retards capitulated to GNOME OS | Nov 11 02:20 |
| IsambardPrince | So destroying a nuclear reactor then trying to find any other job. I wonder how that went for him. | Nov 11 02:20 |
| MinceR | (by announcing that KDE5 will depend on systemd) | Nov 11 02:20 |
| MinceR | probably well | Nov 11 02:20 |
| andy2 | browser, file manager, start/stop button | Nov 11 02:20 |
| MinceR | poettering was hired by microslop after shitting out systemd | Nov 11 02:21 |

| IsambardPrince | Interviewer: "I see a brief gap in your employment after early 1997. What happened at your previous position at the power plant?" | Nov 11 02:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Applicant: "Well, I led a high-stakes stress test of our core thermal-hydraulic infrastructure. During an unexpected operational pause, I took the initiative to rapidly re-establish baseline power output." | Nov 11 02:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Interviewer: "And how did that go?" | Nov 11 02:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Applicant: "We uncovered structural load limitations in the facility that ultimately led management to pivot their long-term asset allocation strategy toward complete decommissioning. I demonstrated decisive leadership under high pressure." | Nov 11 02:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Interviewer: "Did... did you break the reactor?" | Nov 11 02:23 |
| IsambardPrince | Applicant: "I successfully ascertained its structural limits." | Nov 11 02:23 |
| MinceR | see, you've got it | Nov 11 02:24 |

| MinceR | (or first) | Nov 11 02:24 |
| IsambardPrince | Interviewer: "You ascertained its structural limits." | Nov 11 02:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Applicant: "In real-time, yes. Prior to my initiative, those limits were purely theoretical. Now they are empirically documented." | Nov 11 02:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Interviewer: "By cracking a billion-dollar reactor pressure vessel down the middle." | Nov 11 02:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Applicant: "By identifying a single point of failure in the facility's long-term capital expenditure model. Frankly, I saved ComEd decades of indecision." | Nov 11 02:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Interviewer: "Mr. Miller, this is a mid-level shift manager position at a regional distribution warehouse. We move pallets of canned soup." | Nov 11 02:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Applicant: "Which is precisely why my skill set is an exact match. I can assure you that under my supervision, no pallet of Campbell’s Chunky Sirloin Burger will ever reach prompt criticality." | Nov 11 02:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Interviewer: "...Prompt criticality?" | Nov 11 02:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Applicant: "The soup will remain stable. The shelves will hold. And if an operational anomaly occurs in Aisle 4, I will not attempt to override the automatic trip sequence." | Nov 11 02:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Interviewer: "I... okay. What are your salary expectations?" | Nov 11 02:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Applicant: "Whatever rate allows me to remain at least fifty miles away from any control room featuring a control rod position indicator." | Nov 11 02:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Interviewer: "Fair enough. You start Monday. Please don't touch the forklift." | Nov 11 02:25 |
| MinceR | lol | Nov 11 02:26 |
| andy2 | epic | Nov 11 02:26 |
| MinceR | and they pay the forklift operator less | Nov 11 02:26 |
| MinceR | because we have a failed society | Nov 11 02:26 |
| andy2 | everyone reaches their level of incompetent job satisfation, for some people it is being an example to the next guy on how not to die horribly and fail the mission | Nov 11 02:29 |
| andy2 | Prompt critcicality WTF? | Nov 11 02:30 |
| IsambardPrince | :) | Nov 11 02:33 |
| IsambardPrince | Delayed criticality is what you're going for. | Nov 11 02:34 |
| MinceR | i'd prefer to leave even that to the species that replace us | Nov 11 02:35 |
| IsambardPrince | When operator Anatoly Dyatlov ordered the AZ-5 button pressed, the graphite tips of the control rods entered the core first, displacing water and causing an instant localized prompt critical power surge, spiking the reactor's output to over 100 times its maximum design capacity in under 4 seconds. | Nov 11 02:35 |
| andy2 | prompt as in fast | Nov 11 02:36 |
| andy2 | I get confused about "prompr engineering", lie youwant it right now? | Nov 11 02:36 |
| MinceR | well, at least they fulfilled the five-year plan in power production | Nov 11 02:36 |
| MinceR | in a matter of seconds | Nov 11 02:36 |
| IsambardPrince | When a heavy atom like Uranium-235 splits (fissions), it releases energy and extra neutrons:Prompt Neutrons (~99.3%): Released instantly—in a fraction of a microsecond ($10^{-14}$ seconds).Delayed Neutrons (~0.7%): Released later (seconds to minutes) as unstable fission products decay.That tiny 0.7% of delayed neutrons is the only reason nuclear power plants can physically exist. | Nov 11 02:37 |
| IsambardPrince | Ugh. I guess those symbols don't work here. | Nov 11 02:37 |
| andy2 | rejoice comrades, power output is up 900 percent | Nov 11 02:38 |
| IsambardPrince | A normal nuclear reactor operates in a state called delayed criticality. | Nov 11 02:38 |
| IsambardPrince | The reactor relies on both prompt and delayed neutrons to keep the chain reaction going steady. Because of that tiny delay from the 0.7% of delayed neutrons, the reaction moves slow enough for mechanical systems, control rods, temperature feedback, and human operators to react and keep the core stable. | Nov 11 02:38 |
| andy2 | like less neutrons than are needed to explode the reactor? | Nov 11 02:39 |
| IsambardPrince | If a reactor achieves criticality using only the prompt neutrons alone, it has crossed the threshold into prompt criticality. | Nov 11 02:39 |
| IsambardPrince | At this point, the nuclear chain reaction doubles in power every few microseconds. No control rod can fall fast enough, no computer can process a command quickly enough, and no operator can intervene. | Nov 11 02:39 |
| IsambardPrince | The power output spikes exponentially in milliseconds, generating unimaginable heat, boiling the coolant instantly, and causing a massive steam/thermal explosion that shatters the core before physical expansion finally blows the nuclear material apart. | Nov 11 02:40 |
| MinceR | on the upside, the orcs made sure they placed the chornobyl plant so that no people they cared about lived close to it | Nov 11 02:40 |
| IsambardPrince | Hundreds of them each weighing roughly 770 pounds. | Nov 11 02:41 |
| andy2 | hmmm I'm getting the idea here, "AI" freaks say the most important thing is critical thinking *they don't have any, but they want to use promp engineering to achieve that. It's Chernobyl all over again folks! | Nov 11 02:41 |
| IsambardPrince | That was due to the coolant being boiled off into steam. | Nov 11 02:42 |
| IsambardPrince | The Orcs dug trenches nearby and kicked up enough radioactive material that they had to be evacuated to a hospital in Belarus. | Nov 11 02:43 |
| MinceR | the underlings dug the trenches | Nov 11 02:44 |
| MinceR | the ones calling the shots did whatever they did in moscow | Nov 11 02:44 |
| IsambardPrince | I thought that was funny anyway. | Nov 11 02:44 |
| IsambardPrince | If someone told me to dig a trench there desertion would be the first thought I had. | Nov 11 02:45 |
| MinceR | :> | Nov 11 02:45 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | the latest BS is, | Nov 11 07:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | lxo is in FSF board | Nov 11 07:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | hence, any " | Nov 11 07:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | "tweet" from lxo is FSF position | Nov 11 07:56 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and it will be used to shame the FSF | Nov 11 07:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | by rage-biating | Nov 11 07:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and if he doesn't like that, then he should quit the FSF | Nov 11 07:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's weaponisation of rage-baiting to water down the FSF | Nov 11 07:57 |
| IsambardPrince | The only time I cook anything to well done is when it's just a hamburger. If you know what you're doing you have cheddar, lettuce, onion, tomato, mayo, and A1 on it anyway. | Nov 11 07:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | by targeting its most ardent suppoters who adhere to the FSF's true mission | Nov 11 07:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the FSF does not exist | Nov 11 07:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | for animal rights | Nov 11 07:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or to stop wars | Nov 11 07:57 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or to end world hunger | Nov 11 07:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or to end human slavery | Nov 11 07:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or trafficking of girls for sex (that's what Microsoft does)( | Nov 11 07:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the FSF is about software freedom | Nov 11 07:58 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and it focuses on that | Nov 11 07:58 |
| IsambardPrince | Once Private Equity ruins something, I find an alternative. | Nov 11 08:00 |
| IsambardPrince | I quit eating at Portillo's. I like Al's Beef now. | Nov 11 08:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | PE | Nov 11 08:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | why not cook at home? | Nov 11 08:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's fresh | Nov 11 08:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and you learn how to make it better for you | Nov 11 08:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like which sauces to add in | Nov 11 08:00 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and how much | Nov 11 08:01 |
| IsambardPrince | Al's Beef can do a better Italian Beef than I've managed to. | Nov 11 08:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | IsambardPrince: and you have the _time_ | Nov 11 08:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they need to do better | Nov 11 08:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | otherwise people don't pay the premiums | Nov 11 08:01 |
| IsambardPrince | There are times when I just admit that I don't know what I'm doing and Italian Beef is apparently one of them. | Nov 11 08:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Beef is Beef | Nov 11 08:01 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | the sauce and stuff is Italisn | Nov 11 08:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | so you can refine and perfect it | Nov 11 08:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | sometimes they sell the "secret sauce" | Nov 11 08:02 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, that's just not true. | Nov 11 08:02 |
| IsambardPrince | It's deceptively simple. | Nov 11 08:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | this past sunday I got 16 salad sauces of italian original | Nov 11 08:02 |
| parsifal | schestowitz[TR2], thanks for the comprehensive answer and for clarifying the matter ;) +1 :) | Nov 11 08:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | those are good in many dishes | Nov 11 08:02 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | parsifal: no worries | Nov 11 08:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | we need more people to know | Nov 11 08:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | because if they know | Nov 11 08:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | then they too can fight back | Nov 11 08:03 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], On a more positive note, I did perfect my Mississippi Pot Roast this week. | Nov 11 08:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | IsambardPrince: you also need to know _how_ to cook it | Nov 11 08:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like when to add the sauce | Nov 11 08:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and temperature | Nov 11 08:03 |
| IsambardPrince | I figured out an easier way to do it that cuts out two steps, tastes better, and results in a perfectly tender roast. | Nov 11 08:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and mayube they have better suppliers of "beef" | Nov 11 08:03 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i worked at burger king | Nov 11 08:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | in the 1990s | Nov 11 08:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | i saw what suppliers we had | Nov 11 08:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | even the lettuce | Nov 11 08:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | it's not some random supermarket stuff | Nov 11 08:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | they really work towards and sometimes patent the process | Nov 11 08:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | for consistency and good taste, texture, temperature | Nov 11 08:04 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | also have steamers | Nov 11 08:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | which most kitchens lack | Nov 11 08:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I used to bring my CDs there | Nov 11 08:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and play them in the place | Nov 11 08:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | this way I could listen to "my music" while working | Nov 11 08:05 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | fun times | Nov 11 08:05 |
| IsambardPrince | Yeah, they do the flame grilling. | Nov 11 08:05 |
| IsambardPrince | It does really put McDonald's to shame. | Nov 11 08:05 |
| IsambardPrince | I admit sometimes I go to burger king and order one "hot off the grill" then go to McDonald's for the fries and diet coke loss leader. | Nov 11 08:06 |
| IsambardPrince | McDonald's definitely has better fries and diet coke, but Burger King has the better burgers. | Nov 11 08:06 |

| -TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.thelayoff.com | If you are excited about the H1B ban... - post regarding IBM layoffs | Nov 11 13:40 | |
| techrights-news | "H1B ban us step one, the ban on offshoring is coming up too… open your eyes." | Nov 11 13:41 |
| techrights-news | "Its to late, banning offshoring just means no more jobs moved abroad. It does not prevent job losses in the US, just have [slop] replace the roles instead of cheap Indians." | Nov 11 13:41 |
| techrights-news | "This is the point people dont get. Stopping H1B's and Offshoring now is like locking the gate after the house has already been robbed. Its far too late. Its not going to bring back jobs, it just means those lost jobs are not longer done by Humans" | Nov 11 13:41 |

Is IBM ending H-1B sponsorship for current employees before their existing status expires, or will those employees be able to continue working through their current approval period, with IBM declining to file extensions after three or six years or sponsor green cards?" | Nov 11 13:42 |
| techrights-news | "If employees can keep working through their current approval period, the number affected immediately may be relatively small." | Nov 11 13:42 |
| techrights-news | "no RAs in the December. People affected have to be terminated before the end of 2026. An RA means the employee is notified on month in advance before the termination." | Nov 11 13:44 |

| techrights-news | "I’ve heard the word “moat” in the economic sense a couple of times today so I looked it up and it’s a word for the hard-to-compete-with-ness of some companies due to things like regulatory fees or network externalites." gemini://idiomdrottning.org/moat | Nov 11 18:33 |
| techrights-news | "Here’s how it works. When sellers set prices, the more expensive it is the fewer can buy. They want to find a big “revenue box” which is where price × customers is high. So they set the price as high as they can without dropping too many costumers. That’s the basic seller approach." gemini://idiomdrottning.org/ad-tier | Nov 11 18:34 |

| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2], Now Republicans on Facebook are panicking. | Nov 11 21:21 |
| IsambardPrince | The Democrats won full control over enough states to put the National Popular Vote compact into force. | Nov 11 21:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I remember when they started talking about the compact. | Nov 11 21:25 |
| IsambardPrince | Around 2004 I think. | Nov 11 21:26 |
| IsambardPrince | A state would pass it, it would go dormant again for a year or two, a few more passed it. | Nov 11 21:26 |
| IsambardPrince | Right now there's no standing to sue over it. | Nov 11 21:26 |
| IsambardPrince | The state laws that would implement it all say they don't go into effect until there's 270 electoral votes or more. | Nov 11 21:27 |
| IsambardPrince | As soon as the states allocate their electoral votes to the national popular vote winner, it's likely that it will attract lawsuits. | Nov 11 21:27 |
| IsambardPrince | Both state and federal lawsuits. | Nov 11 21:27 |
| IsambardPrince | I don't expect that they will succeed though. | Nov 11 21:28 |
| IsambardPrince | The constitution says that states can allocate electors according to state law. | Nov 11 21:28 |
| IsambardPrince | The real danger would be that you get it into effect then one state flips back to the Republicans and they repeal it and we go back to the electoral college even though only one state repealed it. | Nov 11 21:28 |

| IsambardPrince | RFK Jr. is killing kids by telling parents vaccines are dangerous or that they don't work, but along the way he also stopped for greasy junk food at Steak and Shake and it reminded me of Kryten in that episode Lister removes the guilt chip and Kryten comes in and stirs his drink with his groin attachment and smoking a cigarette and says "Healthy?
