00:15 katsmeow-afk course, the tubes would be a total loss, and weaken the resulting structure
00:17 katsmeow-afk you could have a brass liner in an aluminum tube, just lathe the outside rounder and toss the swarf back into the melt pool
00:18 katsmeow-afk why would you do that? to get the brass in contact with the aluminum, to have the brass there, and to avoid extruding the aluminum into apipe shape
00:18 katsmeow-afk now, your task, Jim, if you chose to accept it, is to find a REAL LIFE reason to do this
00:19 katsmeow-afk to hav a real bent alum pipe, without bending it
00:40 rue_bed mmm
16:35 katsmeow-afk i wonder if i'll get rain tonite too : http://classic.wunderground.com/radar/radblast.asp?num=1&delay=15&scale=1.00&noclutter=0&ID=BMX&type=N0R&lat=0&lon=0&label=you&showstorms=0&showlabels=1&rainsnow=0
16:42 Tom_itx i'm not gonna wait to find out
16:42 Tom_itx i think i'll run the pump
16:43 katsmeow-afk your pump?
16:43 Tom_itx uh huh
16:43 katsmeow-afk before there is water falling fromt he sky?
16:43 Tom_itx it says it will fall but it lies
16:43 katsmeow-afk you have no rain around you
16:49 katsmeow-afk weather said we'd have several inches witht he last storm, but i got only 1/2 inch in the buckets
16:49 Tom_itx the rest stayed in the air
16:50 katsmeow-afk got a flyer in the snailmail today: $1.949 /gal for propane, which (btu-wise) equals $2.40 for gasoline
16:51 katsmeow-afk in the small print "prices are locked in may be subject to change"
16:52 katsmeow-afk that price also ~= 7 cents/kwh
16:52 Tom_itx shortage of fructose will cause prices to go up
16:53 katsmeow-afk electricity here is ~13 cents /kwh
16:53 Tom_itx Could you guys go here http://j.maxmind.com/app/geoip.js and paste the results here http://codepad.org/ (just helping out a friend testing some things)
16:54 katsmeow-afk http://codepad.org/zBUCwIRC
16:55 Tom_itx TY
16:55 katsmeow-afk why doesn't he just wget http://j.maxmind.com/app/geoip.js it himself?
16:55 katsmeow-afk fwiw, that's not here i am, that's just one of the nodes in the isp's network
16:56 Tom_itx testing the data, not the script
16:56 katsmeow-afk i have no idea where winfield is
16:56 Tom_itx winfield ks?
16:56 Tom_itx not far from me
16:56 Tom_itx maybe an hour
16:56 tsmeow-afk nods sl
16:57 m_itx nods
16:58 katsmeow-afk your friend own maxminds?
16:58 Tom_itx i dunno
16:58 Tom_itx do i have friends?
16:59 katsmeow-afk i dunno
16:59 katsmeow-afk depends on he definition, i guess
17:00 katsmeow-afk maxmind useto be something else, so i wondered why it is now what it is now
17:01 katsmeow-afk just reusing the name, i guess
17:01 katsmeow-afk same as that one, or 2 r 3 battery companies still call them selves "_______battery" , but they don't make or sell batteries any more
17:23 katsmeow-afk at, in my area of the state, i am in the only county not getting rain
17:24 katsmeow-afk i should go water the garden ont he roof, that should make it rain
18:18 any10795578 still no rain
18:18 katsmeow-afk http://classic.wunderground.com/radar/radblast.asp?num=1&delay=15&scale=1.00&noclutter=0&ID=BMX&type=N0R&lat=0&lon=0&label=you&showstorms=0&showlabels=1&rainsnow=0
18:18 katsmeow-afk it's all around, i hear thunder, but it's not here
18:19 Tom_itx same thing happened here a couple times last week
18:36 katsmeow-afk how can i broadcast to an atsc tuner?
18:37 katsmeow-afk for less than $5000
19:04 katsmeow-afk the storms went by and didn't drop any rain
19:05 katsmeow-afk they broke apart entering the county, and have rejoined to a bigger storm on the exit of the county
19:05 katsmeow-afk but no storm happened here
20:18 katsmeow-afk dirt is dry as bones outside
20:22 rue_mohr atsc tuner?
20:24 tsmeow-afk nods, the ccurrent tv broadcast standard in
20:46 katsmeow-afk i have no idea how the atsc is encoded, and i'd rather waste bandwidth that need a 2ghz cpu to do encoding
21:45 katsmeow-afk damn how that stormed missed me entirely, it's still at the north edge of the county, the storms have re-formed as a large mass, the mass that evaporated and missed me : http://classic.wunderground.com/radar/radblast.asp?num=1&delay=15&scale=1.00&noclutter=0&ID=BMX&type=N0R&lat=0&lon=0&label=you&showstorms=0&showlabels=1&rainsnow=0
