01:07 rue_house hey! did you see that!
01:07 rue_house my time just flew by!
01:52 Lolly8088 heh
01:52 Lolly8088 oops.
01:53 lly8088 w
01:53 rue_house I cant buy the parts for $1, but for 50c I can buy things assembled so badly they auto reduce into those parts I'm looking for
01:54 Lolly8088 yarg
01:54 Lolly8088 bye bye me!
02:07 rue_house Lola8088, are you goodnighting?
07:11 katsmeow-afk ...
07:11 ^kat^ ..
07:11 katsmeow-afk .
07:12 katsmeow-afk .
07:24 tsmeow-afk wanted to have a sata drive to play with, but didn't want to buy one, because "playing with it" means it will prolly be broken,, the next best thing was to buy 10 cable box with DVR from the scrap for $10, and just console myself with having all the extra parts too, along with the drives for $1
07:26 katsmeow-afk sheesh, opening bid is so high on some, the first bid gets it, because the 2nd bid must be above the buy-now price
07:32 katsmeow-afk and yet, some people are bidding
08:06 katsmeow-afk !ping
08:23 katsmeow-afk i guess Tom didn't care for that url
11:18 katsmeow-afk ebay is so confusing,, do i want to pay $7 for one chip, or $8 for 200 of them?
11:19 rue_house hmmm
11:19 rue_house do I wnt to bid on an item for $10.50, or pay $5.50 now?
11:20 katsmeow-afk do i want to pay 99 cents for shipping and get it in 2 days, or pay nothing and wait 5 weeks to get it from China?
11:20 rue_house heh +$50 for me
11:21 katsmeow-afk the (price + s&h) difference tween one seller in Califorica vs China is 40 cents and 3 weeks
11:22 rue_house it looks like all chinas shipping prices took a jump
11:23 rue_house I'm suddenly not seeing as much $1 free shipping
11:23 rue_house maybe its what I'm searching
11:23 katsmeow-afk i noticed price hikes also
11:23 rue_house I think its the usd crashing
11:24 katsmeow-afk the only $6 laptop psu is from a NY seller with bad off-ebay reviews
11:25 katsmeow-afk "smartcharger" = it's really only good for half rated output, but with a cpu we can push it right to the limit of blowing up, if your laptop provides the cpu and app software to do this
11:25 katsmeow-afk else, it leaks smoke and causes fires
11:27 rue_house for me, buying not from china, costs atleast $17 extra
11:28 Tom_itx i'm still not gonna move there
11:28 tsmeow-afk winds up and tosses a url at Tom to see if there is anything amusing, or educational, on the page : http://floatliving.com/vessels.html
11:29 tsmeow-afk does that because she values Tom's feed
11:30 katsmeow-afk oo, there's a good deal on some 74LVC2G86DCTR , if you need 3000 of them: $110, free s&h
11:30 rue_house 2G ?
11:31 katsmeow-afk "2 gates" per package, not 6
11:32 katsmeow-afk lets you sprinkle gates around the pcb where you need them
11:32 katsmeow-afk there's also a 1G ,, a few diff logic gates come like this
11:33 katsmeow-afk like a 74F1G14 is a 4pin smd single schottky invertor
11:33 rue_house aaah
11:35 katsmeow-afk optons,,, same item, same seller :
11:35 katsmeow-afk 150 PC'S P/N U74HCT86DK ; Store: AG COMPONENTS INC ; $109.99 + $8.95 shipping
11:35 katsmeow-afk QTY: 250 UNITS P/N U74HCT86DK ; Store: AG COMPONENTS INC ; $9.99 + $11.95 shipping
11:35 katsmeow-afk so if i choose to spend $100 less, i can get 100 more chips
11:36 katsmeow-afk but for $100 less, and 100 more chips, the s&h is $2 more, what a drag
11:37 katsmeow-afk 3
11:37 katsmeow-afk "ok, if i give you $3 more for s&h, you'll send me almost 2x as many chips, for $100 less?"
11:39 katsmeow-afk "how about if i pay you the $10 for the 250 chips, then sell 150 of them back to you for $100?"
11:39 rue_shop3 I think the modern world has thrown out economic principals
11:39 katsmeow-afk this is like paying 99 cents for 6 caps, at the same time he was asking $20 for 2 of them
11:41 rue_shop3 can youfind any killer deals on ferrite cores?
11:41 katsmeow-afk prolly, but they'll be heavy,, i passed onsome 25 wattss the otehr day
11:51 Lola8088 Good Morning!
12:01 rue_shop3 hey
12:02 katsmeow-afk how
12:03 Lola8088 did you get to bed at a decent hour?
12:05 rue_shop3 hell no
12:06 katsmeow-afk Dear customer, we are regret to inform you that because of Hong Kong Post Office warehouse explosion recently ...........
12:08 Lola8088 ok, well, have fun with the kids
12:19 katsmeow-afk Yes, sea mail is the only legal way for us to send lithium batteries. I sent some to Martin (mjlorton) in the US for his review (just for my own curiosity as I have no plan to sell any) by sea and it took more than 2 months! Normally air mail to the US from HK only takes about a week. <<== REALLY slow airplanes
12:21 katsmeow-afk Recently, there is an increasing number of air mail items detected to contain suspected dangerous articles, in particular, lithium batteries, which lengthens the screening process. In this connection, air mail registration service, iMail service and Bulk Air Mail service may be subject to delay.
12:23 katsmeow-afk iirc, a plain balloon can make it from Japan to the usa in a week
