08:49 katsmeow-afk oh, cnn has it smaller, merely 3 acres?
08:49 katsmeow-afk The landslide happened in Johnsons Landing in the Kootenays, just before midday Thursday.
08:50 katsmeow-afk we're just now hearing about it here
08:52 katsmeow-afk speaking of floods, this from CNN : Villagers travel on a boat in the flood affected area of Jhargoan village in Morigoan district on June 29. Almost half a million peolpe are living in relief camps, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Monday.
08:52 katsmeow-afk "half a million peolpe"
09:03 katsmeow-afk The U.S. Navy's new class of carriers will have no urinals, in part to give the service flexibility to female sailors
09:06 katsmeow-afk A Marion County Sheriff's Office sergeant said he was forced to shoot his own dog, and now the shooting is under investigation by his own department and the Hancock County Sheriff's Department.

09:06 katsmeow-afk Isn't a police dog considered an officer? Does this mean cops should start shooting other officers when they are agitated and off their leash?
09:33 katsmeow-afk Hundreds of endangered leatherback turtle hatchlings and eggs were crushed ... Workers were redirecting a river that was endangering a major nesting habitat for leatherback turtles ... However, the workers severely damaged a nesting area with a bulldozer and an excavator, killing or harming hundreds of unhatched turtle eggs
09:33 katsmeow-afk yanno, that's a lot like how the cops treat potential suicides here, cops show up and shoot the person who would rather kill themselves
09:36 katsmeow-afk "this river is about to wash away 100's of unhatched eggs, and wash over 500 baby turtles out to sea where they wanna be, we should go run them over with bulldozers first!"
09:37 katsmeow-afk prolly with the thought if they make the turtles extinct, they can grow more hotels on the beachfront properties
09:56 tsmeow-afk s
09:56 rue_bed i thought the last leatherback just died like a few weeks ago
09:56 katsmeow-afk different country
09:57 katsmeow-afk not going to admit my house is too cluttered just yet, but i cannot find the bathroom sink faucet
09:57 katsmeow-afk i am not sure even what room it's in now
09:57 katsmeow-afk i been looking for it for 3 days
09:57 rue_bed isn't it under the box in the livingroom?
09:57 katsmeow-afk possibly
09:58 rue_bed you need to cache some stuff to make enough room to do a bubble sort
09:58 katsmeow-afk i been thinking of shelves to do that with
09:59 rue_bed so, there was an article a bit ago about making code that evolves to do its task
09:59 rue_bed I think the stuff I worked out recently would allow me to make that work faster
10:01 katsmeow-afk i wrote some compare code 15 yrs ago for Tiggr to adjust to different webpage layouts faster, but then the Dog Era began and i dunno where that code is now
10:02 rue_bed I can find one device that uses anti-engineering
10:02 rue_bed the balancer in a cdrom spindle
10:02 katsmeow-afk basically, compare two ore more pages from a site never before seen, and she could strip all the noise out and deliver the meat of the pages
10:04 katsmeow-afk it ran slow as heck on the one puter i had back then with enough memory to do the grunt work, but now (if i can find the code) i can throw the cluster at the problem
10:05 katsmeow-afk also discovered that 3v lvds drivers for 2.5v sstl cannot do 1.8v sstl :-/
10:06 katsmeow-afk btw, why do you want 374 dips? the 374 and 574 sops are cheaper when you buy hunks of reels
10:06 katsmeow-afk the 574 are broadside too, for easier wiring up
10:06 rue_bed solder by students in africa
10:06 rue_bed the 5 would prolly be better yes
10:07 rue_bed I could prolly get away with a quad non-transparent latch
10:08 katsmeow-afk you should consider those MJD transistors, even tho they are smt, they are big smt and they won't blow up if the motor stalls at a couple amps
10:08 rue_bed rethinking that problem
10:08 katsmeow-afk they may overheat if passing two amps for long tho
10:08 rue_bed playing with power supply and switching tech
10:08 katsmeow-afk 20 cents each
10:09 katsmeow-afk in 100 qty
10:09 rue_bed fet or bipolar?
10:09 katsmeow-afk bipolar
10:09 rue_bed (I'm stil asleep)
10:10 katsmeow-afk i need to go pick up a centering bit too, i am freaking tired of triple changing drill bits twice for each heatsink to avoid bits walking
10:11 katsmeow-afk there absolutely wasn't one to be had in this hick town, i had to special order it
10:11 e_bed hands kat a p
10:11 katsmeow-afk got one
10:11 rue_bed ...
10:11 katsmeow-afk to be effective, the bit hasto be as small as the dink of the punch, that's bit change #1
10:12 katsmeow-afk then sneak up on the final size: bit change #2
10:12 katsmeow-afk then the bit that's exactly the size for the tap: change #3
10:12 katsmeow-afk then flip the heatsink over and start over on the other side
10:12 katsmeow-afk then deburring
10:12 katsmeow-afk then tapping
10:12 katsmeow-afk then deburring
10:13 rue_bed you deburr before tapping?
10:13 tsmeow-afk sighs and covets Tom's cnc mill,, and wiishes for a mill that changes it's own
10:14 katsmeow-afk yeas, don't need swarf in the tap teeth, you can screw up a thread or 3 that way
10:14 katsmeow-afk 6-32 fine teeth in alumininininininum
10:17 katsmeow-afk so, bbl, got to go get drill bit,, it's not even a real centering bit, it's a drill-chamfer bit, but it's small and cheap enough and should be stiff enough to not wander
10:17 katsmeow-afk bbl
12:47 katsmeow-afk bak
