| mircea_popescu: | based apparently on some derpy genre fiction by a fellow named joe dever. he's not very good, and his purply prose somewhat brings it down. if only they had someone who could write. but otherwise, the execution is outright brilliant | [00:05] |

| phf: | asciilifeform: my point is that like with any war, "on the reservation" you're not necessarily going to run into active soldiers, but more likely into a mine, or border control, or whatever else the effects of war are. | [15:54] |
| asciilifeform: | eventually. | [15:54] |
| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: Maybe spray smarter? | [15:56] |
| asciilifeform: | BingoBoingo: care to be more specific ? | [15:57] |
| BingoBoingo: | asciilifeform: Well, generally if you spray the right kind of sweet murder target toward the pest you actually have... You end up having to spray less of it and saving. | [15:58] |
| BingoBoingo: | Just because all the marketing is behind monsanto and glyphosate doesn't mean there aren't cases where a diquat is phine too. | [15:59] |
| asciilifeform: | not entirely unrelatedly, as a young man i kept 'bug spray' around, habitually, as my ancestors did but then learned that wet/dry vac works 100% as well and doesn't create cloud of poisonous crud to breathe the rest of the day | [15:59] |
| BingoBoingo: | Sure, but there's spray you can use before the bug is even there that work better. | [16:02] |
| asciilifeform: | i can scarcely apprehend what BingoBoingo's house must smell like. | [16:02] |

| BingoBoingo: | And once it dries in place it both repels and murder vermin | [16:05] |
| asciilifeform: | when i worked in the outfit that did antidotes for organophosphate poisons ('nerve' gases) we used these common pesticides as a substitute for the real thing | [16:06] |
| asciilifeform: | (as the facility wasn't usg-blessed for the Real Deal) | [16:06] |
| asciilifeform: | works just as well, just with different, slower kinetics | [16:06] |
| BingoBoingo: | Sure, dose makes the poison | [16:06] |
| asciilifeform: | 'dose' is tricky concept | [16:07] |
| asciilifeform: | as some folks in the good ol' days found out when they tried to do the 'acclimate to strychnine' thing with cumulative poisons, e.g, arsenic | [16:07] |

| asciilifeform: | but if the gland actually secretes some trace amount | [17:57] |
| mircea_popescu: | asciilifeform there's some post-intoxication lactation. | [18:05] |
| mircea_popescu: | but no, generally no such thing. note that the breast we all know and love is clinically known as the immature breast | [18:05] |
| mircea_popescu: | the mature breast is quite a specific thing, and it needs a coupla months to occur, post partum. | [18:06] |
| asciilifeform: | what'd be the mechanism where newborn kid of either sex sometimes lactates, then ? | [18:06] |
| mircea_popescu: | it's not actual lactation though. | [18:07] |
| asciilifeform: | in what sense not ? | [18:07] |
| mircea_popescu: | witch's milk. see, when woman is about to deliver specific hormonal changes in her system drive the maturation of breast tissue. | [18:08] |
| mircea_popescu: | they drive the maturation of ALL breast tissue, there's no targetting geographically, it's chem signalling | [18:08] |
| mircea_popescu: | so in some cases tiny islands in child breast undergo same process. but it's brief and reverts naturally, without scarring | [18:08] |
| mircea_popescu: | ie, the infantile cells are yet unspecialised, and for that reason react to the signal. in "true" lactation actual specialised tit tissue reacts. | [18:09] |
| asciilifeform: | and what reacts in, e.g., grown man with pituitary tumour pissing out prolactin ? | [18:12] |
