00:07 dumbass sporadic
00:15 TELunus Cool, thanks.
00:16 TELunus Perhaps I'll see if I can get my parents to drop in. I'm not coming to the coast untill next week I think.
00:18 TELunus You'd think what with Vancouver being a big burgeoning city and all there would be somewhere here to buy such things.
00:19 dumbass or with Seattle being right across that artificial line to the south, or just down the bay by boat
00:35 rue_shop3 TELunus, I dont think RPE has that stuff, there is another shop, its by the skytrain and home depot, cant recall the name, dont think they have them either tho
00:35 rue_shop3 intek or something

00:45 rue_shop3 http://www.digikey.ca/product-search/en?FV=ffec143a
00:45 mbass looks for tel
00:45 e_shop3 beats head against
00:46 dumbass well, when he comes back, just hand him a dead IDE cable and a dremel tool
00:46 rue_shop3 ooo its COLD out, never seen the temp sensor say its -5.5c
00:46 rue_shop3 :)
00:46 dumbass RUE IS FREESING HIS ASS OFF
00:46 rue_shop3 I have those dupont ones in stock, from china
00:46 dumbass can't you build a rocket heater, rue?
00:47 rue_shop3 I'll go start the boiler so it doznt freeze
00:47 dumbass yea,, or wrap it up so it simply never gets as cold inside as it is outside
00:47 rue_shop3 I have to work out which way to solve the overload board tripping
00:47 dumbass it IS inside, after all
00:48 rue_shop3 the tank loses about 1c/hr
00:51 dumbass damn, my downstairs looses temperature slower than that
00:52 dumbass it's so slow i shut off the heat at nite just so i don't hear it running
00:54 rue_shop3 wow, COLD
00:54 e_shop3 treis to thaw his fin
00:54 dumbass can't you build a rocket heater, rue?
00:54 rue_shop3 I was thinking about it for the house
00:54 rue_shop3 but I'm ok with the gas right now
00:54 rue_shop3 I just dont want the boiler to freeze
00:55 dumbass why aren't you usng it to heat the place now?
00:55 rue_shop3 it cant keep up with really cold
00:55 dumbass wierd
00:56 rue_shop3 and at that point the gas' pilot dosn't cost enough of the percentage to worry about
00:56 rue_shop3 the boiler's place is when having the furnace on would cost $200/mo just for a pilot
00:56 dumbass o
01:01 rue_shop3 right now, almost all of the roommates rent goes to the gas bill
01:08 dumbass better keep him warm then
01:09 rue_shop3 I suppose I shoudl have filtered the signal from the current senses, eh?
01:09 mbass ponders some pain reduction drugs, and some fish-ramen for di
01:09 dumbass and turning off the lites upstairs
01:10 dumbass heck, i dunno that yu are even samling the current at the right places the right way, so i dunno what you did or how to fix it
01:11 dumbass you may be measuing the peak current, and not the average
01:11 dumbass maybe you aremeasuing line voltage drop
01:11 dumbass i dunno
01:15 dumbass a really cheap trick, if it's useful, is to have a large dead time in the pwm, and a current kick the voltage off when the coills saturate, then the voltage pops back on, yo can measure the current with a frequency counter
01:15 dumbass it's hard on the electronics, and not really accurate
01:16 dumbass and my brains is off cause it's afetr midnite
01:16 rue_shop3 the motors ground thru a .1R resistor, the signal from that goes thru an amp thats got a gain of 10000/800 (12.5)
01:16 rue_shop3 the output of the amp is set up to be 2.5V with 0 current,
01:16 rue_shop3 goes from -2A to 2A with 0V->5V
01:17 dumbass got any RC filtering?
01:17 rue_shop3 no
01:17 dumbass get some
01:17 rue_shop3 which is what bit me
01:18 dumbass if you can, use high value R and very stable C types, on the opamp input
01:18 dumbass electrolytics and some ceramics vary tons over age and temperature
01:18 dumbass if the C varies, so will the amp reading
01:19 rue_shop3 the signal from the .1R goes thru 800R to the - of the opamp
01:19 dumbass choke are more stable, but cost more and take up more space
01:19 rue_shop3 I'm thinking between 1 and 4.7uF there might do
01:19 dumbass you are thinking electrolytics too
01:20 rue_shop3 I have some tant that would do
01:20 dumbass well, it's all an experiemnt, enjoy it
01:20 rue_shop3 I have to mod 6 overload boards :/
01:21 rue_shop3 it took me months to install them
01:21 dumbass got music?
01:21 rue_shop3 yea
01:21 dumbass k
01:21 mbass goes to get di
01:21 e_shop3 sniffs the air to get a hint of whats for di
01:30 dumbass [00:52] * dumbass ponders some pain reduction drugs, and some fish-ramen for dinner
01:34 rue_shop3 hmmm
01:35 rue_shop3 wow, 30c temp rise on the boilers exchanger
01:41 dumbass A suspension of the U.S. debt limit, enacted by Congress in October, expired yesterday.
01:41 rue_shop3 hah
01:41 rue_shop3 thought they might just let it slide
01:42 rue_shop3 next they will probably just delte it, its innconvienient
01:42 dumbass Lew said government expenditures can be as high as $60 billion on certain days.
01:43 dumbass Republicans haven’t been able to find enough votes for several plans floated in the past week as conditions for raising the debt limit.
01:43 rue_shop3 most of which are payments for food at expensive restraunts which polititians go to to talk about the debt problem
01:44 rue_shop3 so, now were counting days to complete us financial collapse
01:44 mbass nods, yet a
01:44 dumbass and then , at a minimum, again this coming September/October
01:45 rue_shop3 I wonder what is effected first if all countries decide to not lend to the USA anymore on account of knowing they cant pay back
01:45 dumbass my food
01:46 dumbass hell, if California cannot get water for crops, some 1.5 million acres of food is going down the drain, dry
01:46 dumbass yet i cannot have a garden because the dogs say so
01:47 dumbass i bought THIS property because it has some good ground on it and a natural spring system for water
01:50 rue_shop3 oh yea, I need to invest in the price of oranges
01:50 rue_shop3 kat, your neighbours will leave and you can do whatever you want
01:50 rue_shop3 everyone will leave
01:51 rue_shop3 acheologists will be puzzled for a long time as to why such a mighty civilization crashed
01:51 rue_shop3 they will suspect everything *but* politics
01:51 dumbass first they will scrounge and steal everything in sight
01:53 rue_shop3 not gonna do them any good if there is nowhere to take it to
01:53 dumbass i never said anything here is logical
01:54 dumbass but for sure whoever is a better hunter, with the most ammo, will live longest
01:55 dumbass those people who run out of ammo will end up in the stew pot
02:01 rue_shop3 stock up
02:03 dumbass i'll never have enough, each kkk member is supposed to buy a brick of ammo every month, some buy more, bricks can be anywhere from 400 22cal to 20 12 gauge
02:04 dumbass buying for 20 yrs, they'd have 100,000 rounds of ammo
02:04 dumbass plus whatever their sons bought, plus extras
02:05 dumbass http://randomperspective.com/comic/34/
02:06 rue_shop3 heh

03:14 rue_house hmm same guys made my lathe, but that ones has more goodies
03:15 dumbass use the lathe to make the goodies for the leathe to make ore goodies
03:17 dumbass eventually, you have 12 chucks, 5 tailstocks, extenders for everything, 12 toolposts, 68 changegears, 4 12phase motors running it, 4 fileing cabinets just for boring rods, etc
03:17 dumbass you have magnets for everyhing to mount anwhere, and clamps for every other tool you own
03:18 dumbass but you are finally happy and can go inside to watcg lolcats
03:18 dumbass gnite
12:00 rue_shop3 arg
12:00 rue_shop3 the trucks battery has been weak latley
12:00 rue_shop3 at the post office, when I went to leave, the engine did its flooding thing
12:01 Tom_itx better get a new battery
12:01 Tom_itx i had to get 2 recently
12:02 Tom_itx btw, they went up about 30%
12:02 Tom_itx or more
12:02 Tom_itx sochi is the laughing stock of the world
12:03 Tom_itx nothing is ready
12:03 rue_shop3 anyhow, it flooded, I pulled the injector, but it didn't catch before the battery ran out of juice
12:04 rue_shop3 the lady at the post office was able to give me a jump
12:04 rue_shop3 sochi?
12:04 Tom_itx http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2014/02/04/journalists-at-sochi-are-live-tweeting-their-hilarious-and-gross-hotel-experiences/

12:06 Tom_itx the water looks like swamp water
12:06 rue_shop3 sounds like the olympic committee isn't doing their job
12:06 Tom_itx manhole covers left off all over the place
12:07 rue_shop3 sounds like once *again* i'll be standing at the counter of the auto store with my truck running outside asking if they have a battery in stock for it
12:08 Tom_itx you don't have 'battery' stores?
12:08 rue_shop3 this is a REALLY good argument for having a utility battery
12:08 rue_shop3 heh no
12:09 Tom_itx i got one and a week later i had to get one for the other car
12:10 rue_shop3 we have a ma-and-pa auto store that, if they dont have it in stock, it isn't what I really need thing (I'v learned this myself)
12:10 Tom_itx been gettin em from the same place for years
12:11 Tom_itx have someone bring you one from van
12:12 Tom_itx My hotel has no water. If restored, the front desk says, "do not use on your face because it contains something very dangerous.
12:17 Tom_itx at the start of the opening ceremony only 4 olympic rings were lit
14:07 TELunus rue, what do I tell my parents they're looking for? >= 20 single dupont conector pins and shrouds?
15:54 rue_house the dupont kit
15:55 rue_house TELunus, whats your address again?
16:45 dumbass SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — Firefighters battled a giant blaze fueled by 5,600 tons of rubber Saturday at the Port of Savannah, where a towering column of black smoke could be seen from miles away.
16:46 dumbass By late Saturday, the fire department said its crews had contained the fire, but it could take a while for the flames to burn out inside a warehouse covering 226,000 square feet at the port's Ocean Terminal just west of downtown Savannah.
16:47 dumbass It's solid blocks of rubber that are burning."
16:47 dumbass Keller said firefighters were surrounding the warehouse with hoses on three sides and using industrial pumps to suck water from the Savannah River and blast in through water cannons. Crews will continue soaking into the night and Sunday if necessary.
17:05 mbass sighs @ ==>> " I wish the people would smarten up , when the government say’s were doing it for your own goo
18:38 TELunus rue, is Electronic Device Services 24 hr number 604 886 0316?
18:45 dumbass geese, the naked fork terminals cost 3x what the insulated ones cost
18:46 dumbass i wanna solder them, not stake them
19:39 rue_shop3 so pull off the plastic
20:01 dumbass not so easy
20:06 dumbass pcb standoffs : http://www.homedepot.com/p/Gardner-Bender-18-10-AWG-Copper-Crimp-Connectors-100-Pack-10-310C/202526312
20:09 mbass just drills out some wingnuts and uses
20:10 dumbass or use that small stiff plastic tube used for push-in "Guest connectors"
20:26 rue_shop3 I changed the battery in the truck, starts like a dream now
20:27 rue_shop3 kat nice
22:26 dumbass sieve
22:47 dumbass local news is rather admitting, without saying so, they have no clue what the weather will be tomorrow
22:47 dumbass err, Monday
22:47 dumbass rain, sleet, snow, cloudy, or sunny
22:47 dumbass there will be weatehr, no idea what sort
22:48 dumbass but even with sleet and show, the temperatures stay above 38f ?
23:51 rue_shop3 dunno
