00:12 rue_house oo
00:13 rue_house what the hell size chain is that?
00:14 rue_house something tells me those motor could tear apart that frame without much trying
00:15 katsmeow-afk i agree, and i'd have used bigger sprockets, the smaller the driven sprocket, the harder it is to turn the shaft
00:16 katsmeow-afk looks like he did 1:1 "gearing", i'd have used 3" sprockets
00:16 katsmeow-afk or 4"
00:24 katsmeow-afk i thought i'd heard everything : http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-kidnap-torture-mutilate-20131108,0,5352243.story
00:28 katsmeow-afk November 6, 2013, 8:47 p.m.
00:28 katsmeow-afk SAN FRANCISCO � Efforts to locate a patient found dead in a stairwell 17 days after she disappeared from her room at San Francisco General Hospital were stymied by confusion over her race
00:29 rue_house ?
00:29 katsmeow-afk yeas, they are saying they knew there was a dead *white* woman in the stairwell, but they were looking for an asian or black woman
00:30 tsmeow-afk s
00:30 rue_house "dead asian? no han't seen one"
00:30 katsmeow-afk i wish i was asleep right now
00:30 katsmeow-afk right
00:30 katsmeow-afk not looking for a dead white woman, so her body is unreported for 17 days,, 2.5 weeks
00:31 katsmeow-afk "is she asian or black?" "nope", "leave the body alone, keep looking"
00:37 rue_house screws are outbreeding dust bunnies
00:38 rue_house business cards are a close 3rd
00:39 katsmeow-afk 300Mhz x100 2kvdc scope probes on sale now, 2 for $82 free s&h
00:40 katsmeow-afk http://www.ebay.com/itm/290729830035
00:40 tsmeow-afk has a set, nifty lil probes for hv
00:41 rue_house dust bunnies breed out in the open, but screws breed under and behind things, I just found another cluster of them
00:42 katsmeow-afk wash your paws before you handle them, and spray them with WD40, if your paws have hamburger or cheese on them, the odor goes to the screw and the cats may eat them
00:43 rue_house AGP geforce 4 card, I accidently boke off a capacitor (thruhole) and then one of the cats puked on it... I recon I should get rid of it eh?
00:43 katsmeow-afk if you hear a <plink> from the litter box, now you will know why
00:43 katsmeow-afk no, keep the poor cat!
00:44 rue_house 4th breeding in my room, nortel phne system cards
00:45 katsmeow-afk how to get rid of mice: feed them cheese, once the cat figures out they are in competition for the cheese, the mice lose
00:46 katsmeow-afk and if the mice smell like cheese after a cheese dinner, the mice loses
00:47 rue_house odd I dont have a parallel port anymore, so where is this parallel cable snaking off to?
00:48 rue_house oh duh, it goes to the peinter
00:48 rue_house k, I bought a usb / paralle for just this...
00:52 rue_house printer dosn't work
00:52 rue_house oh there is a power adapter jammed in it
00:52 rue_house and a floppy
00:52 rue_house and a battery, and a servo..
00:52 rue_house and a microscope...
00:52 rue_house and a roll of tape...
00:52 rue_house stamps!...
00:53 rue_house that ws productive...
00:59 katsmeow-afk words cannot describe it : http://www.staton-inc.com/store/products/Motovox_43cc_Scooter-1829-14.html
01:00 katsmeow-afk http://www.staton-inc.com/store/images/products/4395.jpg
01:00 rue_house good thing it comes with a tool kit
01:04 katsmeow-afk i struggle to call it a bike, or scooter, i keep wanting to call it "perverted"
01:05 katsmeow-afk and those fat tires will kill batteries when they get low and rolling resistance skyrockets
01:07 rue_house kat, it has a weedeater engine on it
01:08 katsmeow-afk i didn't design it
01:09 katsmeow-afk such a small engine begs for a engine-generator-batteries-motor setup, so at stop lites the generator recharges the batteries, and when going uphill the motor and gas can be clutched together for 2x the hp
01:19 tsmeow-afk goes away for the nite, to put her hind paws out of boots and into the toasty feets
01:20 katsmeow-afk 5x the heat capacity of an electric blanket, many times the heat recovery rate too
03:00 rue_bed kat, how far did you get on your hand?
07:58 Tom_itx i tend not to walk on my hands
12:40 katsmeow-afk rue, as far as not putting pics of the "wrong color" tendons online
12:41 rue_house so you made some good progress?
12:41 Tom_itx it's classified
12:42 Tom_itx i can neither confirm or deny it
12:42 katsmeow-afk Spring had sprung at that time, so i went to play outside, but Winter is here again
12:42 katsmeow-afk i also was working on that when i could not put my back to work
12:43 Tom_itx nice day out here today
12:46 tsmeow-afk has finger parts, reamers, bearings, all sitting here at this
12:46 katsmeow-afk of course, tehre's also heatsinks, transistors, pens, pencils, post-its, sockets, jacks, plugs, etc
12:49 katsmeow-afk i found some 8T and 10T #41 1/2" ID sprockets for $6.40, cheaper than buying the wrong ones on ebay, cheaper than converting it all to #35
12:50 rue_house how about bicycles?
12:50 katsmeow-afk how about them?
12:51 rue_house if you double width a typical bike sprocket, what guage chain would you ahve to use to fit over it?
12:51 katsmeow-afk #40
12:51 rue_house #40 would fit two bike sprockets at once, side by side?
12:51 katsmeow-afk and you'd need to grind the tooth taper some, it would be a tight fit
12:52 rue_house hmm
12:52 katsmeow-afk #40 is ~1/4 wide, #41 (#410) is 1/8 , iirc #420 is 3/16,, and there's a #415
12:53 katsmeow-afk i just wanna settle on what i already have done, what's widely available for cheap, specially for me
12:54 katsmeow-afk i have at least qty4 of 40T, 36T, and all those other normal bicycle sprocket sizes, and bike chain
12:54 katsmeow-afk sine no pedal-power bike uses a sprocket with only 8 to 10 teeth, i haveto make or buy those
12:55 katsmeow-afk i made 2 for the bridge crane
12:55 rue_house so far I'v seen interesting infuenace of the auto industry from the navy and pinball industry
12:55 rue_house I tried twice to make them, missed the ID and screwed it up
12:56 katsmeow-afk without a mill machine, and short stubby sturdy mill bits, it's very hard to get the holles drilled properly in a 40 yr old drill press with normal bits
12:56 katsmeow-afk drill the center first
12:57 katsmeow-afk then put a pin on a L hunk of steel, clamp in drill press vise, spin steel plate and drill holes onthe radius
12:57 katsmeow-afk then cut tween the hols, then shape the teeths
12:57 katsmeow-afk i put a webpage up on how to do it
12:57 Tom_itx to make what?
12:57 katsmeow-afk sprockest
12:57 Tom_itx oh
12:59 katsmeow-afk http://designerthinking.com/sprockets.html
12:59 rue_house it was resizing the center hole that screwed me other both times
13:00 Tom_itx i started those holes for kat with a .700 drill
13:00 Tom_itx finished em too
13:01 Tom_itx the larger of the 2 was with a larger bit but i forget the diameter
13:02 Tom_itx makes nice curly chips
13:02 katsmeow-afk with a cnc mill, making sprockets is a simple math-step-repeat process once the center hole is done (bearing, keyed, splined, whatever) and mounted on the mill
13:02 Tom_itx i got a macro for generating sprockets
13:03 Tom_itx wrote it a long time ago
13:03 katsmeow-afk here's one of the two i made, in use : http://designerthinking.com/images/gantry/DSCF2026.jpg
13:05 katsmeow-afk most times a large sprocket is needed, but there's time when all you want is one link, or part of one, picked up per revolution, and so as small a sprocket as possib;e, even tho it makes for excessive chain wear if used in constant duty
13:06 katsmeow-afk i figured i'd use as small a sprocket as i could weld to, and without needing to notch the shaft to clear the side plates on the chain
13:12 katsmeow-afk one of the oteh crane piccs showes a rear bike sprocket i mounted to a shaft
13:16 katsmeow-afk http://designerthinking.com/images/B&S_starter/DSCF3642m.jpg is a pic of bike crank sprocket on a press-fit hub partially mounted on a 10" bike wheel
13:17 katsmeow-afk i did that one by hand, i need to make a jig from it to duplicate it 3 or more times,, mostly just a plate with dowel pins
13:18 katsmeow-afk nother view : http://designerthinking.com/images/B&S_starter/DSCF3644m.jpg
14:18 rue_house are you doing soemthing to the crane?
14:56 katsmeow-afk umm,, what?
14:57 rue_house are you working on your crane?
14:57 katsmeow-afk no?
14:57 katsmeow-afk as in actively? no, but i do have scheduled work for it
14:59 katsmeow-afk chain trough to capture oil dips, winshiled wiper motor coupling to replace the motor in http://designerthinking.com/images/gantry/DSCF2029.jpg
14:59 katsmeow-afk and it would be nice to have a couple lites mounted on it to see the ends of where i am picking up steel stacked along the walls better
15:00 rue_house http://www.youtube.com/embed/nq2jY1trxqg <-- why cant you roll a modern car and have it keep going like that?
15:00 katsmeow-afk cause it's a video on you tube that won't play
15:00 rue_house http://www.youtube.com/embed/nq2jY1trxqg?rel=0
15:00 rue_house will that?
15:00 rue_house http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nq2jY1trxqg
15:00 katsmeow-afk http://www.youtube.com/embed/nq2jY1trxqg?rel=0 <<== black screen, nothing there
15:01 katsmeow-afk just tell me what it is, none of those are playing
15:01 rue_house its a crazy old 1920 dodge commercial (film)
15:03 rue_house at one point they roll tip it, roll it over (with offscreen help from antoher car) and drive off
15:03 katsmeow-afk what's that to do with the bridge crane?
15:03 rue_house nothing
15:03 rue_house but its terribly amusing
15:05 katsmeow-afk i should maybe go to town for grinding disks
15:06 rue_house http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4KrIMZpwCY
15:06 rue_house can you se atht one?
15:06 katsmeow-afk down to 2.5 , won't last the weekend, and i don't feel like doing more hard labor today
15:06 katsmeow-afk i cannot see ANY of them i haveto dl them and then play outside the browser
15:08 rue_house so there were 15 million model T's made...
15:09 katsmeow-afk so it's how to convert a 1750's wooden bike into a pair of 1850's motorcycles, and put an outhouse with bench seating from a church in it, and use just one engine to power it all?
15:09 rue_house nowonder so many befame things like lathes
15:10 rue_house they do some pretty wickid driving in the videos
15:10 katsmeow-afk lathes are great for making lots of "round"
15:10 rue_house its amazing how everything looks round when you have a lathe
15:11 katsmeow-afk it's just as amzing how manyt hings look beaten to death if you have a hammer
15:12 katsmeow-afk not everything can be round, or pounded on
15:13 katsmeow-afk btw, if you really need to make a sprocket, i suggest a reamer for the axle size, else it will be a sloppy fit
15:14 katsmeow-afk a drill press cannot make a real round hole, you can verify that by making caliper measurements around the hole
15:14 katsmeow-afk +/- .010 is an easy error to make on a drill press with a 1/2 bit
15:15 katsmeow-afk so if the center hole is off +.010, and the hole tween two teeth is -.010 , the space tween is off .020
15:15 katsmeow-afk at any rpm over a dead crawl, it's noticeable
15:16 katsmeow-afk and with the holes tween the teeth off, the tooth width will be off too
15:17 rue_house I had lots of exit radius adjustment
15:19 katsmeow-afk ok, i go get grinding disks and propane, if i leave now i can get out of Bham before sundown
15:19 katsmeow-afk man i don't wanna deal with humans
15:20 katsmeow-afk bbl
15:23 rue_house have a shirt made "if I want your ****** help I'll ***** ask for it"
15:41 Tom_itx grab some cutoff wheels for me while you're out
17:35 katsmeow-afk i had to rev the engine to keep a god from cutting me off, which blew oil somewhere onto the exhaust pipe, smoking bad enough i decided to get a fire extinguisher too, so i go in, i say i have a propane tank to exchange, and ask where the fire extinguishers are
17:35 katsmeow-afk 5 minutes of propane tank discussion, i point to it, they finally understand it is a propane tank to exhange
17:36 katsmeow-afk then i ask for the fire extinguishers again
17:36 katsmeow-afk she said "oh, i'm sorry, i thought you asked for the propane tank exchange!"
17:37 katsmeow-afk and they say i have mental issues? hell, i cannot buy two things in the store at one time, it overwhelms the employees!
17:43 katsmeow-afk anyhow, finally got some bandsaw blade with 14tpi and 10tpi, all they had stocked before was 18tpi and 24tpi
17:43 katsmeow-afk maybe the 10tpi won't gum up with aluminum as badly
17:45 katsmeow-afk got a $10 300gig hd in the mail, one wrap of bubblewrap, in a baggie mailer
17:46 katsmeow-afk i look for physically busted chips before plugging it in
18:01 tsmeow-afk is reminded of the time she went in to buy 30 bags of concrete, and the entire freaking store ignored her,, so she bought 3 bags, put them in the truck, bought 3 bags, put them in the truck, bought 3 bags, put them in the truck, bought 3 bags, put them in the tr
18:02 katsmeow-afk store manager came over and asked me if i knew what i was doing,, i said no one would load the 30 bags of concrete, no one would sell them to me, and i could carry only 3 bags at a time in the shopping carts provided
18:03 katsmeow-afk so i was buying 3 bags 10 times
18:03 katsmeow-afk he said "not any more", and ordered 3 employees to load my truck *now*
18:28 katsmeow-afk i asked why the employees were helping healthy men load 5lb sticks of poplar 2x4, and not helping me with the 80lb bags of concrete, never got an answer
18:29 katsmeow-afk next trip, 3 employees, ~20-ish guys, tried to swamp me by all 3 tossing bags into the truck as i stacked, and i was always waiting on the next bag from them
18:29 katsmeow-afk i was younger 20 yrs ago
18:30 katsmeow-afk "but you are in a wheelchair", "and i didn't stand up the entire time i was stacking the 30 bags of concrete, did i?
18:35 katsmeow-afk same arguement about replacing crankshaft bearings and rear leaf springs, "ok, show me how it's done when standing up, go ahead, the crank is 14" off the ground, show me how you need to stand up under the car to slip the bronze sleeve bearings in there......."
19:19 rue_house http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=161146644354
19:19 rue_house ok, finally listed the damn things

19:25 rue_house not bad
19:26 katsmeow-afk it's "not bad" that it will not calc shipping rates?
19:26 rue_house maybe I should have said "usually"
19:26 katsmeow-afk it's telling me the zip code is invalid
19:26 rue_house it came up with 10.30 for you didn't it?
19:26 katsmeow-afk nope
19:26 rue_house oh
19:27 rue_house I think it did something different for me looking at it
19:27 katsmeow-afk Shipping cost cannot be calculated. Please enter a valid ZIP Code.
19:27 rue_house I gave it tonnes of info to work things out on its own
19:27 rue_house odd
19:27 rue_house maybe I entered my zip code wrong

19:38 katsmeow and i use earplugs going to any store, because they have people in idiot suits clanging bells and begging for money
19:38 rue_house its best to do that in the winter when the roads are nice and slippery
21:07 tsmeow is doing surgery on her b
21:08 katsmeow the steel shank in one boot is 4" long, 1/2 inch wide, and broken
21:09 katsmeow in the otehr boot, it isn't there
21:36 katsmeow then i pick up my can of spray foam to seal the boots where they had split off the sole, and ..................................
21:36 katsmeow full can, nothing comes out
21:37 katsmeow it's a high pressure can that will rust thru and explode eventually, and i cannot get the contents out
22:42 katsmeow This higher breakdown field also enables the development of SiC MOSFETs with voltage ratings as high as 10 kV.
22:44 katsmeow As shown in Fig. 3, the silicon MOSFET�s normalized on-state resistance (RDS(on)) increases by more than 250% from 25C to 150C, while the RDS(on) of the SiC MOSFET increase just 20% over the same temperature range.
23:17 rue_house http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=161146774735
23:18 rue_house will it calc shipping on that one?
23:19 katsmeow 0 results found for "bubble wrap "not perforated"
23:21 katsmeow Shipping cost cannot be calculated. Please enter a valid Postal Code.
23:22 katsmeow same with http://www.ebay.com/itm/161146774735

23:27 katsmeow "bubble wrap, air to inflate the bubbles is not included"
23:33 katsmeow i cannot figure why no one has used a regular olde dip-40 to put as much as a gigabyte x8bits of ram into, or a 2-clock system to put 4gb x32 of ram into
23:34 katsmeow 2^30 = 1 gb, plus pwr, gnd, and an 8bit buss = 40pins
23:34 rue_house heh
23:34 rue_house dip memory didn't last long
23:35 katsmeow or, mux the 32bit buss: 32bit addy, 32bit data, clk1 = addy in, clk2 = data in/out
23:35 rue_house in pc's
