13:21 katsmeow-afk i wonder why a straight 2x4, when ripped up the middle, looks like (( )) when done
13:24 katsmeow-afk in related news, the Ridgid jigsaw i got for $30 (because someone had buggered it) rip cuts 2x4 almost as fast as the 7.5" circular saw, when using an toothy 3.5" blade and full blade advance setting

17:28 katsmeow-afk was talking to a guy ~10 yrs ago who gave up his machine shop because he couldn't afford to keep replacng the tools, peole would back up in the biggest truck possible and batter the door, hook chain around it, and jerk the whole doorframe out of the wall
17:29 katsmeow-afk stolen wrecker trucks were handy to do this with

19:36 Tom_itx i hate to order one since i'd have to pay so much shipping for one stupid part
19:37 katsmeow-afk anything a usb cable plugs into, that's not a computer, prolly has the B connector
19:37 Tom_itx i wonder if the pcb pinout were all the same on them
19:37 Tom_itx i presume they were

19:50 Tom_itx that's the back side of it
19:51 Tom_itx no tellin where the plug went
19:51 Tom_itx i'll have to look closer to see if it knocked any smt parts off
19:52 katsmeow-afk i think it did
19:52 katsmeow-afk look diagonally tween D11 and D10
19:52 Tom_itx i think those are test points
19:52 Tom_itx dlesn't look like any parts were there
19:53 Tom_itx hard to tell in the pic
19:53 Tom_itx doesn't*
19:53 Tom_itx probably to test the usb
19:53 katsmeow-afk i really dunno if the pinout is the same
19:54 Tom_itx i don't see why it wouldn't be
19:54 Tom_itx all the others i've ever gotten were
19:54 Tom_itx the mini b different styles all had the same pin layout
