13:34 katsmeow Returns for Panamax vessels that haul coal and other commodities strengthened, nearing a two- month high, on increasing exports of the mineral from the U.S. Gulf Coast.
13:35 katsmeow Oil tankers that move crude between U.S. ports are reaping windfall profits as domestic production surges and American laws prohibit exports.
13:37 katsmeow Technological breakthroughs in the drilling technique known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, have unlocked massive reserves of U.S. shale natural gas in recent years.
13:37 katsmeow The shale gas bonanza has opened the door to substantial liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports. More than a dozen companies are waiting for approval to send gas abroad.
13:38 katsmeow Dow, one of the most vocal critics of unfettered exports, warned against trusting the market to determine the amount of U.S. gas shipped to foreign countries.
13:39 katsmeow so basically, it doesn't matter how much fuel the usa drills or mines, if the usa cannot burn it this minute, it's sold to other countries, and the price they are willing to pay is what the price is set to in the usa for fuels drilled in the usa

21:24 rue_shop2 when I compress videos frommy camera, they goto 1/3 the size with the same quality
21:24 rue_shop2 I think cameras do pretty raw compression
21:24 katsmeow i thought avi was compressed
21:30 rue_shop2 avi is just a stream muxing format
21:30 rue_shop2 the content of the streams can be anything
21:30 rue_shop2 its stupid

22:18 katsmeow Sheriff's officials Wednesday said in a statement they're investigating reports that a 15-year-old boy had a list of people at the school he was planning on shooting. Sheriff's spokesman Randy Christian says the unidentified boy told some students they were on his list.
22:18 katsmeow Sheriff's officials say the teen was removed from school and has been admitted to a hospital for a mental evaluation. Christian says the teen told police he was joking.

23:19 katsmeow put a crank and "speaker cone" on a 1800 rpm variable speed motor, and run it from 1800 rpm (30hz) to 300 rpm (5hz) and see if people around the truck get sick, fall over dizzy, etc
23:21 katsmeow i'd prolly cut a 4x8 sheet of 3/4 plywood in half,hinge the ends to the truck frame, and drive the cut with the motor tucked up tween the frame rails
23:22 katsmeow 10hz down to 3hz is supposed to be psychoactive in humans, yymv

23:24 rue_house <katsmeow> 10hz down to 3hz is supposed to be psychoactive in humans, yymv
23:25 katsmeow i did an experiment ~23 yrs ago, with a dog in the house, which was barking at a hamster, i could shut up the dog by driving a 1ft coil with a audio amp @ ~120w, and a low freq generator feeding the amp

23:33 rue_house yes
23:33 katsmeow oo, it's been bid up to $16 now
23:34 rue_house Shipping:
23:34 rue_house $146.30 USPS Priority Mail International
23:34 katsmeow holycrap,, ship it to the usa side and reach over and grab it
23:34 rue_house and of course, it would be broken
23:35 katsmeow it's $30 shipping tome, but i really really do not want to spend money on it, i have "some" already
23:35 rue_house I'v got the module to make my DSO
23:36 katsmeow that 7A19 is pricey, making the scope worth $40 already, and the 7D13 in it is rare
23:36 katsmeow the timebase in it is the common 7B53, a good mate for that scope
23:37 katsmeow i have a feeling someone might bid $40 to get the 7A19 and then junk the rest
23:38 katsmeow i'd pull the 7a and 7D, put in two 7A18, and include some probes, and put it right back on ebay
23:38 katsmeow i wouldn't make any money off it tho
23:39 katsmeow arg, it's wayyyy up in Ohio
23:41 katsmeow 800 miles and 12 hr drive each way, half of it real mountainous, cost ~$200 in gasoline
23:42 katsmeow but if i pay $30 to UPS, i get garbage instead of a working scope
23:42 katsmeow damnit,,,, $%^%^&# someone decent better get this scope
23:44 tsmeow sighs ,,, if i bought 3 scopes from them, it wold be break-even to drive up t
23:45 katsmeow i don't need 3 scopes
