| mp_en_viaje: | also hey asciilifeform : http://archive.is/ipDDz | [05:19] |
| BingoBoingo: | I find the scale of the China drama more humiliating for the US than anything else. | [05:27] |
| BingoBoingo: | With their years in the white house, senate, etc... Did the Clintons pull better than some mayor on the other side of the Pacific? | [05:29] |
| mp_en_viaje: | nope. are you fucking kiddiong me, epic lulz like "uaw investigation" revolve around piddly ~million~ spent on personal luxuries. what the fuck, a mn worth of luxuries, really ? so like... a bathroom ? | [05:31] |
| mp_en_viaje: | hoffa made out better than the entire pile-up of contemporary usgistani bureaucrats. | [05:32] |
| mp_en_viaje: | crime doesn't pay and working for the socialists is the capital crime. | [05:32] |
| BingoBoingo: | It also highlights how damn poor the US is | [05:34] |
| mp_en_viaje: | speaking of http://btcbase.org/log/2014-12-02#940849 possibly the best compressed illustration of "why ancient, what's wrong with modern" could be had reviewing the phonetis of hoi polloi. so : it was [hoi polloi] in the ancient world, with gemminated l and everyting else good right and proper. it's... well, it's [i poˈli] these days, because "do we still have to DO th | [05:36] |
| mp_en_viaje: | at" and assorted nonsense. | [05:36] |
| mp_en_viaje: | modern greek "no longer needs" the glottal stop h, nor does it use double-l's for anything, it's "progressed past that, see". sounds like lazy dogs talking, also, but that's ok -- everyone's a dog anyway rite ? | [05:37] |
| mp_en_viaje: | (except, of course, for cyprus, this republica moldova slash sicily of the greek world. there, still geminated. ) | [05:37] |
| mp_en_viaje: | BingoBoingo, also highlights where the gold supposedly in new york actually is. | [05:37] |
| BingoBoingo: | mp_en_viaje: The outside outlets that ought to be hammering this story are all incredibly silent in English. | [05:39] |
| mp_en_viaje: | well for one thing, it's an ~indepedent~ "corruption investigation" aka beheading. the "only socialism that could be" gets nothing from it | [05:39] |
| mp_en_viaje: | so they don't understand "how the news relates to them" | [05:39] |
| BingoBoingo: | Well, I plan to use this as the go to link in the future when US Pantsuits get busted while poor. Like this guy http://qntra.net/2019/09/kkkalifornia-pantsuitist-ed-buck-arrested-after-victim-escapes-lair/ | [05:42] |
| mp_en_viaje: | no but he had fun, see. that's the important part. "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal." yes ? pile up treasures in "heaven", which in the anglican/protestant/derpitarian/whatever tradition no longer means the popish plot, of course, but still means something experimentially-ridiculous. | [05:45] |
| mp_en_viaje: | so buck the tard built himself up treasures in heaven as indicated by his self-disavowing pedestrian restatement of catolicism as some poor scottish farmers could best manage to restate latin cancer. | [05:46] |
| mp_en_viaje: | he fucked a buncha crackwhores or w/e it is he did, he "had experiences". that's the important metaphisical, yes ? experiences ? having experienced ? | [05:47] |
| mp_en_viaje: | a treasure trove of prescriped goodness nobody inexplciably seems to envy him. so what is there to write about ? | [05:47] |
| mp_en_viaje: | if the world came to its senses, if i engaged tards on their own terms, if parents lived their lives such that they're comprehensible to children, if china correctly saw the incredible importance of ustarded delusions... then maybe they could write about it. but as it is ?! | [05:49] |
| mp_en_viaje: | actually, is my point here coming through or do i have to restate it ? | [05:50] |
| BingoBoingo: | I think it's coming through. | [05:51] |

| mp_en_viaje: | what they do, "complex" and "inexplicable" as they might like to pretend it, nevertheless can be very well predicted on a decerebrated read of the medieval catholics. basically calvin was the original hollywood, writting really stupid yet simple stories for a certain kind of [http://trilema.com/2019/fracture/#footnote_1_ | [05:57] |

| mp_en_viaje: | and the annoying part is that i can't apparently find now where i discussed in detail the relationship between "noir" as the form of cinematic expression and the sadness of abandoned counterfit-urban male youth (not REALLY urban because too new, like in new york). | [05:59] |
| mp_en_viaje: | there's the two liner above linked there's another one line in a discussion of another film. but i clearly remember taking the time to discuss this over paragraphs, i just don't remember where the fuck | [05:59] |

| asciilifeform: | this is btw a long-standing q in asciilifeform's head -- wai is it that lang knobs only ever seem to ~fall off~ in archaeologically-visible period. almost as if they were only formed in 'supernovae' of some sort, and then afterwards only decay | [14:30] |

| asciilifeform: | erry lang asciilifeform ever bothered to study, when dug found that it lost sounds over all recorded span (with the eventual, if delayed, loss of the glyphs that represented'em) | [14:36] |
| asciilifeform: | ru and jp in fact in quite recent (300-400y) period | [14:37] |
| asciilifeform: | ( in the former, most famous case, 'Война и мiръ' turned into 'Война и мир' by decree of lenin, but the 'i' had already stopped being phonetic 200+y prior ) | [14:39] |
| asciilifeform: | and of course ye olde ѣ . lenin gets the credit/blame for the cuts, but 5 successive monarchs in fact proposed to cut the dead glyphs, each time ran into opposition from 'ohnoez, ornament of the language!111' academicians | [14:41] |

| asciilifeform: | not even clear to me that the 'decay' is necessarily disaster -- do indo-european folx miss the 15 declensions of finnish ? ( has e.g. 'into', 'out of', buncha other 'extras' cases ) | [14:49] |

| asciilifeform: | i was gonna share a crackpot model of the item but mp_en_viaje already hinted that he has same 1 | [15:37] |
| asciilifeform: | for thread-completeness tho : | [15:37] |
| asciilifeform: | consider what other natural object follows 'damn these only ever break apart, but for most of recorded hist we never saw'em get bigger' : nucleus | [15:37] |
| asciilifeform: | suppose typical shaved ape can only 'lift' so-much lang -- ~4 cases, ~20-30 phonemes, ~4 tenses, roughly. so, per model, 'heavies' form from inelastic collisions of 'stables'. 'lights' -- from elastic collisions. | [15:38] |
| asciilifeform: | observe that 'ultraheavies' e.g. the finns tend to only survive in geo-isolates | [15:39] |

| asciilifeform: | 'ultralights', the jungle men, ditto, they dun have enuff 'temperature' to 'fuse' into sumthing like what civilized folx speak | [15:40] |
| mp_en_viaje: | this argument works for anything but phonetics. | [15:40] |
| mp_en_viaje: | a "simpler" language is not in fact simpler. | [15:40] |
| asciilifeform: | 'simpler' is possib. wrong word. speaking here of macroscopic part count. | [15:40] |
| mp_en_viaje: | the reason every balkan country mocked the shit out of the greeks throughout late antiquity and middle ages was PRECISELY their dropping of the waw. | [15:40] |
| mp_en_viaje: | "these people sound like retarded preschoolers with a lisp" | [15:41] |
| asciilifeform: | that digamma , right | [15:41] |
| mp_en_viaje: | there's about six to twelve vowels and about eighteen to twenty-something consonants that are naturally available in the mouth | [15:41] |
| mp_en_viaje: | you can make slight movements, turning everything an eight one way or the other you can put more focus on labials or africates and less on velars of w/e. | [15:42] |
| * asciilifeform | did work through the 'mendeleev table' of these in kindergarten, aha | [15:42] |
| mp_en_viaje: | but by and large, losing major lines is an unmitigated loss. english appears in no small part retarded because, phonetically, it utilizes poorly the available spoace | [15:42] |
| asciilifeform: | mp_en_viaje: also from getting a foreign alphabet welded to it , kazah-style, and the users lacking the spark of life to fucking fix it | [15:43] |
| mp_en_viaje: | classical greek and to a large degree republican latin appear so dignified because the balance's good. modern italian similarly, have you heard a civilised older male speak italian ? it instantly connotes all the things anglos want and can | [15:43] |
| mp_en_viaje: | t get, "gentleman and scholar". even if he's a waiter | [15:43] |
| asciilifeform: | mp_en_viaje: i cannot disagree. observed, tho, that even the utmost classical greeks were already spewing out loose neutrons, if you will, per model | [15:44] |
| mp_en_viaje: | insanely obscure folk sicilian, while deeply irrelevant culturally, is still rewarding enough one wants to figure out wtf is mp's quote maritari bs even about. meanwhile quite interesting culturally hungarian fails to interest anyone -- and this mostly because terrible notation connotes horrible phonetic balance (which isn't even the case) | [15:44] |
| mp_en_viaje: | asciilifeform, greeks got democracy early, fucked them up good. | [15:45] |
| asciilifeform: | the orig 'zombie apocalypse' aha | [15:45] |
| asciilifeform: | the 1st one, that is, pre-demoocracies, where the minoans bit it | [15:46] |
| mp_en_viaje: | though the discussion as carries elides the important point : excellent speaking helenists existed throughout the history. | [15:46] |
| mp_en_viaje: | just as here : i will bring forth "elided" from the pits of "wtf, that's not even english!!!" because the phrase needs and demands it. | [15:47] |
| mp_en_viaje: | even in english, most ravines can be bridged. | [15:47] |
| asciilifeform: | ( to run w/ the model -- homeric era folx, 'well-balanced', get a load of red hot 'sea men' pirate spoodge right up arse, and new 'heavier' lang forms, then proceeds to 'lazy dogs' leprosy-shed pieces, then... rinse, repeat ) | [15:47] |
| mp_en_viaje: | this is amusing because the most fucked of the greeks (in cyprus) got allegedly the better greek. | [15:48] |
| mp_en_viaje: | sardinian's defo more interesting than contemporary french and so following. | [15:48] |
| asciilifeform: | in asciilifeform's model, looking only at 'stable' rather than 'better' (in whatever measure, e.g. the 1 where english is fucking ~impossible to write quality lit , not even speaking of poem, or unambiguous argument, etc. in ) | [15:49] |
| mp_en_viaje: | http://www.angelfire.com/rings/homeless/chapters/74_80_Beginning.html << meanwhile in so-bad-it-samusing jewfictions. | [15:49] |
| mp_en_viaje: | asciilifeform, but stable in whose mouth / | [15:49] |
| asciilifeform: | mp_en_viaje: in mouth of 'scholar' just about anyffin can be 'stable', as in your quality italians. even oddball conlangs. recall the tears of the folx who made up 1945 hebrew when their spawn started speaking it tho. | [15:50] |
| mp_en_viaje: | this neatly doubles the "great progress of ourdemocracy -- life expectancy". if you inflation-fudge the data to include babies, you get the numbers you want but if you don't you end up with much better everything, by letting most kids die rather than carrying them on the books pointelliottly. | [15:50] |
| asciilifeform: | in mouth of redditus, possibly aint even such a thing as 'stable nucleus' | [15:50] |
| asciilifeform: | arguably medieval latin was a deliberate attempt at 'stable for scholars' | [15:51] |
| asciilifeform: | still -- drifted. | [15:51] |
| mp_en_viaje: | do you believe "life expectancy" is better for you now than was for seneca ? | [15:51] |
| asciilifeform: | fuckno (and noshit) , mp_en_viaje described this imho 100% correctly in linked piece | [15:52] |
| mp_en_viaje: | so then -- not drifted. | [15:52] |
| mp_en_viaje: | if that didn't drift, why do you think this did. needs some heavy argyments. | [15:52] |
| asciilifeform: | the meat drifts pretty slowly. | [15:53] |
| mp_en_viaje: | did bitcoin drift because a buncha idiots do whatever the hell ? | [15:53] |
| mp_en_viaje: | who are you going to sample ? | [15:53] |
| mp_en_viaje: | i'm not even proposing a closed form solution here but it seems to me that elementarily even english works ok in my hands, and in general the discussion will be more a matter of how you do your sampling than of anything else. | [15:54] |
| asciilifeform: | as asciilifeform sees it, almost definitionally 'civilization' as in written , organized culture, is attempt to stall the drift. | [15:54] |
| asciilifeform: | is why even in simple man-made tooling gotta have 'written standards'. otherwise result is pythonism etc. | [15:55] |
| asciilifeform: | the natural process being stalled, is what was speaking of. | [15:55] |
| mp_en_viaje: | the natural process of reversion to the mean ?! | [15:56] |
| asciilifeform: | of reversion to 'what fits in turnip head' mean aha. | [15:56] |
| mp_en_viaje: | this then is uncontroversial : wind blows. on a long enough timespan, all man made things revert. | [15:56] |
| mp_en_viaje: | your capitol shall be pasture again, look on his wonders and despair, etc. | [15:57] |
| asciilifeform: | the imho interesting aspect was trying to pry open is, from where comes the larger items from which then decay. | [15:57] |
| asciilifeform: | i suspect mp_en_viaje's formulation is equivalent to mine. | [15:57] |

| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: I suspect home-ish made, maybe off plans from te late Paladin Press | [22:27] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: observe , no muzzle break, either , dollars to doughnuts 'plumbing shop' build | [22:28] |
| 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 ) | [22:29] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: lacking the gas brake, most of salvo is likely to end up in ceiling. hasty, shoddy work. | [22:30] |
| BingoBoingo: | Well, this isn't the US. Could be a Brasilero or Paraguayo product of Jungle Industry. Or could be Industria Defensa de Argentina | [22:30] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: rright but for some reason most of the brasil people build vaguely to usa spec, historically | [22:31] |
| asciilifeform: | kinda like that samsung air conditioner, built with flammable coolant to europistani spec despite moar than half being sold in usa | [22:32] |
| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: Brasil has a big regular industry that builds to specs competitive on the international market. | [22:32] |
| BingoBoingo: | Another possibility is its an "Operation Condor" artifact of US origin | [22:32] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: the colt acp also afaik uncommon outside of north amer | [22:32] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: this last 1 sounds likely | [22:33] |
| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: .45 ACP is used here as a sporting round. | [22:33] |
| asciilifeform: | interesting | [22:33] |
| asciilifeform: | iirc large qty was surplussed by usg in bush II yrs (gestapo moved to some oddball newfangled caliber, iirc .40) | [22:34] |
| BingoBoingo: | It is used here because it's the international standard high caliber competition pistol caliber round | [22:34] |
| asciilifeform: | .45 is imho pretty good , of the historic calibers. usually subsonic right outta the box, even (i.e. silenceable) | [22:35] |
| BingoBoingo: | Sure the Olympics use .22 rimfire or after London "simulated gun" toys, but .45 ACP is a standard | [22:35] |
| BingoBoingo: | Also leaves decent holes | [22:35] |
| asciilifeform: | entirely decent holes afaik | [22:35] |
| * asciilifeform | never grasped why nato picked up luger as Official standard rather than colt's | [22:36] |
| BingoBoingo: | I suspect because more bullets fit into the supply truck | [22:36] |
| asciilifeform: | ~10% moar | [22:36] |
| 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 | [22:38] |

| asciilifeform: | the slow, blunt 45 is moar of a police interest item than for any kinda war. there's an infamous case where 2 drunken red army sargeants had 'duel at dawn at 50 paces' w/ lendlease 'thompsons' . both scored, neither penetrated the wool greatcoat. | [22:39] |
| asciilifeform: | ( maybe in the warm continents, where even grunts issued armours tend to throw'em out , a la vietnam -- moar relevant ? nfi ) | [22:40] |
| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: .45 ACP came about because .38 just wasn't doing the job against Pinoys | [22:41] |
| asciilifeform: | famously aha | [22:41] |
| * asciilifeform | recalls a great mircea_popescu thrd about a 7kg rhinoceros-calibre pistol, but sadly cannot immediately find | [22:42] |
| BingoBoingo: | http://btcbase.org/log/2014-06-04#702611 | [22:43] |
| asciilifeform: | that 1 ! | [22:44] |
| BingoBoingo: | Leads to http://btcbase.org/log/2014-06-04#702645 | [22:44] |
| * asciilifeform | saw 1 fired at a local shooting gallery, pretty great fireball. designer oughta have given it a screw-on barrel extender imho, nobody cancelled physical law | [22:45] |
| asciilifeform: | similar problem with 1990 ru police favourite, the 'short kalash' | [22:46] |
| asciilifeform: | lotsa wasted joules in that fireball. the powder wants a barrel to do its thing in. | [22:46] |
| BingoBoingo: | There's a shop here that produces a single shot .50 BMG bolt action for the local armed forces, because Ministry of Defense doesn't want to pay the tarrifs | [22:47] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: 'barrett' . (btw moar hits for ~this~ barrett than for the other barrett in ~all searchtrons, lol) | [22:47] |
| asciilifeform: | pretty common among moneyed folx in usa. | [22:48] |
| asciilifeform: | if sudden infestation of elephants (or ww1 tanks) -- folx well-equipped!111 | [22:48] |
| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: Well barret prices are why the local ministry of defense buys arms for that caliber made in Uruguay | [22:49] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: 4-5 k $ in gringolandia typically. | [22:49] |
| asciilifeform: | approx same as for decent pc. | [22:49] |
| asciilifeform: | shells are ~5 $ ea. usually. | [22:50] |
| asciilifeform: | made temporarily famous by that black policeman fella who 'postal' coupla yrs ago. | [22:51] |
| BingoBoingo: | Consider the local Army's primary defense purpose is armed bridge standoff against Argetine forces during Peronist times, and... seems to explain why it | [22:52] |
| asciilifeform: | ( recall, he had 1 of those mysteriously-incombustible passports that lay , Officially, on his corpse when they napalmed the house he was in ) | [22:52] |
| BingoBoingo: | AHA | [22:52] |
| BingoBoingo: | Note that Brasil is treaty obligated to do the quashing of actual Argentine invasions of Uruguay. | [22:55] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: for what argentards to invade uy ? to steal the pot-flavoured empanadas ?? | [22:57] |
| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: Historically the did do for ego reasons like Bush in Iraq II | [22:58] |
| BingoBoingo: | "Regime change" etc | [22:59] |
| BingoBoingo: | Back when Uruguay had under 100,000 non-feathered bipeds and still managed respectable civil wars | [22:59] |
| BingoBoingo: | http://bingology.net/2019/09/26/weighing-real-estate-in-montevideo-from-an-acquisitive-perspective/ << "Also transit times between Cerrito de la Victoria and Ciudad Vieja were probably shorter during the 19th century when the government of Uruguay under General Oribe in Cerrito de la Victoria held the other government of Uruguay lead by General Riveria in the old city under seige for 8 years." | [23:01] |
| BingoBoingo: | Competing Argentine and Brasilero intervention resolved that domestic dispute. Then everyone got together and nearly genocided Paraguay as a bonding exercise. | [23:02] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: in re ye olde 'paladin' co , found a kind of bio of the late owner , apparently very frustrated vietnam war d00d . | [23:44] |
