01:07 katsmeow-afk Employers pay state and federal unemployment-insurance taxes. The state's unemployment insurance fund finances the first 26 weeks of jobless benefits, and that's the fund that is insolvent �
01:07 katsmeow-afk In addition, federally funded benefits extending past 26 weeks are scheduled to expire at the end of the year unless renewed by Congress.
01:08 katsmeow-afk California employers .... federal unemployment tax bill could more than quadruple in 2015 compared with the 2012 level, the EDD forecast said
01:09 katsmeow-afk "There's no appetite for taking away benefits or eligibility for laid-off workers," said Wei, the California Labor Federation lobbyist. "Our average weekly benefit is $300. Who can live on that?"
01:09 katsmeow-afk millions of humans live on less than that
01:09 katsmeow-afk billions around the world live on less
01:44 rue_bed yea, now, how many calafornians cant work vs how many dont want to?
01:45 rue_bed hmm, boiler exhaust jumping between -10c and -12c, means its pretty close to freezing
01:46 rue_bed I should adjust that
01:47 rue_bed ugh, I need to make supper
01:54 katsmeow-afk o
02:02 katsmeow-afk wierd, Meatball is on the radio
02:41 rue_house hard drive upgrade, need to reboot,
02:51 katsmeow-afk oh
03:00 katsmeow-afk http://www.cnn.com/2013/11/14/opinion/cevallos-body-searches/index.html?iid=article_sidebar
06:05 katsmeow-afk Three Mile Island was supposed to shut down in April next yr, but : Oct. 2009 TMI-1 license extended from April 2014 until 2034.

06:41 rue_house ok, with a bit of fun getting my sytem to boot again, I'm upgraded
06:41 rue_house *or so it seems*
06:42 katsmeow-afk it took only 4 HOURS ?
06:42 katsmeow-afk i am so glad i do not use nix
06:42 rue_house I forgot how the boot system worked
06:43 rue_house I cased my tail for a while
06:43 tsmeow-afk has a hp ques
06:43 katsmeow-afk if you are done casing your tail
06:43 rue_house On windows you have to use something like ghost to transfer as os to antoher drive, if I did that with linux it would work too
06:43 rue_house hp?
06:43 katsmeow-afk horsepower
06:44 rue_house indeed
06:44 katsmeow-afk by my calcs, if i lift 100lbs iin arm curls 168 times in 60 seconds, i have done almost exactly 1hp of work
06:45 katsmeow-afk that doesn't seem right
06:45 rue_house oh damn, I closed all the browser tabs *ON THE OTHER HARD DRIVE*
06:45 rue_house what the hell did I have up...
06:46 rue_house damn, should have bookmarked all my tabs
06:46 rue_house katsmeow-afk, how far do you lift one in an arm curl?
06:46 rue_house 18"?
06:47 katsmeow-afk figuring gusstimating palm of hand to elbow, 2ft from bottom or curl to top of curl, but i am not ther obot
06:48 rue_house a window of keybaord from china dosn't matter
06:48 katsmeow-afk that's palm down by side to palm up at shoulder, guesstimating 2ft
06:48 rue_house so 100lbs 2*168feet 60 seconds
06:48 katsmeow-afk in 1 minute then that's 336ft, and if it's 100lbs, that's 33,600ft-lbs-minutes
06:49 katsmeow-afk one hp = 33,000 ft-lbs-minutes ?
06:50 katsmeow-afk so if i run a 1hp motor, it can lift 100lbs at a distance of 1ft from elbow, easily, or 12v@62 amps?
06:50 katsmeow-afk something just isn't right
06:52 rue_house knock sensor code, and I wont worry about the remote usb device setup right now
06:52 rue_house 100lbs 336 feet 60 seconds
06:52 rue_house units converter is pickey
06:53 katsmeow-afk see, if it's one hp total used in one minute, does that mean lifting it just once, instead of 168 times, is 1/168 hp ?
06:54 katsmeow-afk there's no way 1/168hp can lift trun 1/2 revolution at 100ft-lbs in under a second
06:55 katsmeow-afk 1/168hp = 4.5 watts
06:55 katsmeow-afk 6v@1 a cannot do that
06:55 rue_house 102.4m
06:55 rue_house 45.4kg
06:55 rue_house 60s
06:56 rue_house 46489.6 joules / 60 sec
06:56 rue_house You have: 46489 joules/60sec
06:56 rue_house You want: watts
06:56 rue_house * 774.81667
06:57 rue_house You have: 46489 joules/60sec
06:57 rue_house You want: hp
06:57 rue_house * 1.0390463
06:57 rue_house yup, your right (I rounded in there tho)
06:57 katsmeow-afk ????
06:57 rue_house 1.04hp
06:57 katsmeow-afk it doesn't sound right
06:57 rue_house s 168 times in 60 seconds
06:58 rue_house .35 seconds/lift
06:58 katsmeow-afk well, i am glad i picked a motor that can do a hp then
06:58 rue_house almost 3hz
06:58 tsmeow-afk hooks it to a 3ft dia woofer
07:00 rue_house well, I think I lost a lot of tabs, but if thats it, I'm ok
07:00 rue_house http://grathio.com/assets/secret_knock_detector.pde
07:00 rue_house have to pick over this code at somepoint
07:00 rue_house not now, need more sleep
07:01 rue_house oh god its 5am
07:01 katsmeow-afk trick : kill the browser in taskmangler, so when the browser restarts it will appologise for dying and ask you if you would like to restore the browsing session
07:01 rue_house yea, but I did a hard drive upgrade in the middle
07:01 rue_house it didn't carry for some reason
07:02 katsmeow-afk didn't copy the ,, oh
07:02 katsmeow-afk what's a .pfe ?
07:02 katsmeow-afk pde
07:04 katsmeow-afk so you can knock in a morse code msg , like the date and time, which will constantly be a new knock code each time used, and unlock the door? why not use a key, or a pocket fob?
07:06 rue_bed the code is pretty good is seems
07:06 rue_bed I think pfe is arduino
07:06 katsmeow-afk o
07:07 tsmeow-afk cleared a path to the cmentboard-floored and walled space to bring in small steel for grinding, where no one can hea
07:07 katsmeow-afk by "small", i mean 2x4ft
07:11 katsmeow-afk 64k x 16bit 10ns static rams have inched up to 5 cents each
07:12 katsmeow-afk those things useto be so pricey you could have charge people just to look at them
14:49 katsmeow-afk so off a 10kw 140vac heater element, you can make 120 pcs of 20amp 0.1 ohm power resistor with every 0.4 inch of the coiled element, but the pain is in electrically fastening to the wire that glows red hot when at 20amps
14:49 katsmeow-afk the 36" of coiled element is 12 ohms
14:50 katsmeow-afk so each inch is 0.333 ohms
14:50 katsmeow-afk makes for a nice multi-tapped resistor tho
14:51 katsmeow-afk need 10 ohms at 8kw? no problem :-)
14:52 katsmeow-afk without a fan on it at all tmes when powered, even 10amps would unsolder itself tho
14:52 katsmeow-afk it would burn any pcb
14:58 rue_house kat, so i'm not the only one who suspects them of using dirt for vegitable flavoring in packs of noodles?
18:46 katsmeow-afk how much engine or motor hp can i cheaply put into a 10" pipe?
18:48 Tom_itx 10" worth
18:48 tsmeow-afk h
18:55 katsmeow-afk how about two 8" cylinders, double acting and opposed, turning a crank between them with 90 degree throws, and a sprocket in the center of the crank dragging a heavy chain over/under one of the cylinders, to the back, where a gearbox then rearranges the direction/rpm to drive a ducted prop?
18:56 katsmeow-afk with that arrangement, i could stage more two-cyl-cranks the length of the 10" pipe
18:58 katsmeow-afk i need dry clothes, it's getting chilly, i chopped and moved dirt, then dug the floor drill press out from under a 2ft pile of pcbs outside, and moved steel, and dragged the press out to where i can get it inside again
18:59 katsmeow-afk the drill press head assy has been inside , the pipe and base hasn't been
19:00 katsmeow-afk dinner beeped, bbl
20:23 rue_shop2 Lola8088, heyo!
20:30 katsmeow-afk so, if i use a cheap fet (IRFZ44) in a darlington config with a hefty bipolar (TIP35 or MJ11016 or MJ15025), i have a cheap mosfet input to a 200v 100amp current sink
20:31 katsmeow-afk back to the manual labor now
21:44 katsmeow-afk ........
21:53 rue_house darlington? a fet?
21:54 rue_house oh
21:54 rue_house make an IGBT
21:54 rue_house http://electrical-engineering-portal.com/wp-content/uploads/igbt-equivalent-circuit.gif
22:02 Lola8088 Hey Hi...
22:05 katsmeow-afk yeas, the gotcha in that tho is the bipolar and the fet both face the max voltage
22:07 rue_house Lola8088, how are you
22:11 tsmeow-afk uploads a floating thing using a cheap low-volt fet and (possibly) big high voltage bipo
22:13 katsmeow-afk http://designerthinking.com/images/DSCF6478m.jpg <<== "current measure" is poinint to the wrong places
22:14 katsmeow-afk the + and - can be whatever the volt ratingof the bipolars is, but the fet sees only what the lil battery symbol there makes
22:14 katsmeow-afk the bipolars can be darlingtons
22:16 katsmeow-afk as you can see, the base drive for the bipolars does not go thru the current measure resistors
22:16 katsmeow-afk tween the emitetrs and the -
22:16 katsmeow-afk because the batetry sympol is floating
23:32 katsmeow-afk ok, post sanded #60 and then #200, oiled, table and powerhead remounted, belt put back on,,, cannotlocate the xy table handcranks
23:34 katsmeow-afk guesstimating: the base and post is 40lbs, the table is60lbs, the powerhead is 80lbs, this thing is way top heavy
23:34 katsmeow-afk and to think they put all that weight there, and the spindle is measely 1/2 inch dia, drilled thru for a pin
