00:08 dumbass-afk if i ignored everyone and became an uncaring self-centered smartass asshole?
00:08 dumbass-afk i'd be like those who torture me
00:14 rue_shop2 sometimes the world holds good people back for no real reason
00:16 dumbass-afk it's midnite here, happy whatever o'clock it is there!
00:22 rue_shop2 hahah I ask for 6 holes, it gives me 7, I ask for 5, it gives me 5

02:02 mbass-afk will be 57 in ~2 months , i cannot be feeling so sore now, not just from drilling 150 holes with a hand drill, and cutting 4 ft of alum in the bandsaw, and going up/dn stairs 10x in the last 3
02:03 dumbass-afk maybe it's just the crushed L3, L4 and T10 discs acting up for the nite?
03:06 mbass-afk eats some drugs, stirs up a mess to put in the nukebox, and puts her paws up for a w
15:24 dumbass-afk WHAT?!
15:24 dumbass-afk ok, i put ~ an inch of salt in a medium peanut butter jar, filled 3/4 with water, shook til the salt dissolved, put into the water some steel rod, aluminum wire and copper wire, connected with jumper clips, ~ an inch apart from each other,,, it's been 16 hours, and no rust or other corrosion
15:24 dumbass-afk what did i do wrong?
15:32 rue_house help the eletrical difference
15:32 dumbass-afk add power and see if i can force it to corrode?
15:32 dumbass-afk is that cheating?
15:33 dumbass-afk ~3 yrs ago i protected a portion of steel outside, and it has not rusted any more since, but i didn't apply electrical power to it, i just let it get wet and stuff by itself
15:33 dumbass-afk paint in the same area has failed, the steel rusted more
15:36 dumbass-afk i have 3 metals, which direction should i apply power to which metal?
18:20 mbass-afk captures a dog, straps a tiny airhorn to it's belly hidden by hair, so it blows when the god barks, and set it loose a
18:47 mbass-afk wonders if rue considered simply putting a large car starter motor on each wheel of a trike,, because a) you can put a dump barrel tween the two rear wheels, and 3) driving it as a gocart would be whales of fun because there's no ackerman onboard a tr
18:52 dumbass-afk or you can put a water cannon it, or a mower deck under it
18:53 dumbass-afk or you can make 3 of them, and each one of them becomes the "wheel" of a much larger trike!
18:56 mbass-afk wonders if rue ever charged up a balloon with static, and innocently "stuck it" to the cat's rear as it walke
19:02 dumbass-afk i once had a cat almost get killed by a plastic bag tho, it wasn't so funny, the cat went into the bag, turned around and walked out, but caught the loop-handle like a collar, which scared the cat when the bag crinkled and followed the cat around at incredible speeds everywhere it went
19:03 dumbass-afk i rescued it only when the cat was out of breath and exhausted
19:06 mbass-afk wasn't there when it happened, but went upstairs to find out what the hell the cats were d
19:12 dumbass-afk A Trussville, Alabama teenager was killed when she apparently tried to turn her car around on Interstate 59 .... Burns� car was sideways in the interstate when a pickup truck came over the hill and T-boned her vehicle .... Burns was one of two Jefferson County International Baccalaureate students � and one of only 20 students in the Birmingham area � named semifinalists in the National Achievement Scholarship Program.
19:14 dumbass-afk you know the National Achievement Scholarship Program has set the bar REAL low when semifinalists think it's a fine idea to turn their car sideway on an interstate in a limited-sight area

20:47 dumbass-afk altho techically, i think Stone Mtn is a lava dome, not a full-on valcano
20:49 Tom_itx they aired the ship salvage last night on discovery
20:50 Tom_itx showed the platform & balast tanks etc
20:50 dumbass-afk nothwest Ks has a temp of 300F 2 miles down, almost useable for normal geothermal power, if you need a hole in the ground there anyhow,,, prolly real useable the way i'd do it, but i cannot afford to drill the hole
20:51 Tom_itx i think that's been explored here a bit
20:51 dumbass-afk yeas, basically, they built two new square ships and made Costa Concordia sammich
20:51 mbass-afk nods, about wherey ou are, and north Ok is also hot ~2 miles
20:52 Tom_itx speaking of them, i felt their earthquake here some time back
20:52 dumbass-afk NW Ut, east Id is even hotter
20:52 Tom_itx first ever for me
20:52 Tom_itx i suppose yellowstone would be one of the hottest
20:53 Tom_itx since it's got a huge volcano below
20:53 Tom_itx maybe best not to tap into that
20:53 dumbass-afk yeas, with the underground plume trailing off tot he southwest
20:53 Tom_itx we'll all be in trouble when that decides to burp
20:53 dumbass-afk there's a bigger hot spot and old volcano in south west Co
20:54 dumbass-afk Mineral County
20:55 dumbass-afk "chicago Basin", Durango
20:58 dumbass-afk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uinkaret_volcanic_field
20:58 dumbass-afk iirc, there's a huge indoor greenhouse somewhere in that hotspot, uses geothermal to keep the greenhouse warm all year
21:00 dumbass-afk and The Geysers geothermal field near Santa Rosa, in Northern California produces enough electricity to meet the power demands of San Francisco. The Geysers area is the largest geothermal development in the world.
21:00 dumbass-afk In recent years, volcanic energy has been harnessed by a geothermal power plant on Kilauea's east rift zone; the three megawatts of electricity produced are fed into the grid of the local utility company.
21:00 Tom_itx amazing how we manage to live on this unstable planet
21:01 dumbass-afk Geologically young volcanoes found in our area suggest that central Oregon may contain some of the best prospects for geothermal exploration in the continental United States. One study done at Newberry Volcano estimated the energy potential to be up to 13,000 megawatts. Another study by Bonneville Power Administration estimates a 16,000 megawatt potential.
21:01 dumbass-afk yeas, if you can call this living
21:02 dumbass-afk Pagosa Springs, Colorado enjoys a resource unavailable to most of the world.
21:02 dumbass-afk The Geothermal Greenhouse Partnership is committed to leading the state and nation in stewarding our geothermal resource responsibly and creatively stimulating the local economy.

21:07 Tom_itx i wonder how much toxic gas will migrate up the wells
21:09 dumbass-afk prolly a hint of sulfides, you can percolate them from carbonates or burn some of them
21:09 dumbass-afk theur carbonates
21:09 dumbass-afk thru
21:13 dumbass-afk The expansive, recently constructed Regional Correctional Facility at Fort Leavenworth spans seven buildings and includes a GHP system with 480 bore holes drilled up to 280 ft (85 m) deep. Ninety-five heat pumps at the facility provide heating, cooling, and refrigeration
21:13 dumbass-afk The U.S. military also has installed geothermal systems at Fort Riley in Geary County and Forbes Field in Topeka.
21:13 dumbass-afk The 1914 Kiowa County Courthouse, damaged but among the few buildings left standing, was renovated to include a GHP system with thirty-two 300-ft (92-m)-deep wells that eliminates the need for centralized boilers and chillers
21:13 dumbass-afk Homeowners who install geothermal heat pumps from October 3, 2008, to December 31, 2016, are eligible for a Federal tax credit equal to 30% of the unit's cost.
21:14 dumbass-afk 2009. Systems installed after that time are not subject to the maximum limit under a provision of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.
21:17 dumbass-afk Figure 2--McDowell Creek Road just south of Manhattan, Kansas. Damage caused by a landslide to over one-quarter mile of the road after heavy rains during the spring of 1995. The roadway was displaced about 20 feet vertically and 40 feet horizontally by the slide. http://www.kgs.ku.edu/Publications/pic4/fig2.gif
21:18 Tom_itx i wonder if that's when our flood canal filled to the brim
21:18 Tom_itx i've seen that once in my lifetime
21:20 dumbass-afk according to topo maps, and appearances, i am ~60ft above the valley floor, and it's a mile wide, so while erosion is a concern, the water puddling up to a 70ft deep lake a mile wide is not
