17:18 katsmeow-afk The CDC notes that before 1963, an estimated three to four million people in the U.S. got measles every year, and of those people, 400 to 500 would die, 48,000 would be hospitalized and 4,000 would develop encephalitis, a dangerous swelling of the brain.
17:24 katsmeow-afk What you should know about measles
17:24 katsmeow-afk OregonLive.com-56 minutes ago
17:24 katsmeow-afk It happened in Amish county, and 383 people became ill after unvaccinated Amish missionaries returned from The Philippines with the measles ...
19:00 katsmeow-afk Dear intlfragshop,
19:00 katsmeow-afk I need instructions on how to get the stink of "fake fresh" off the jars. I held the box with one had to take the jars out with the other hand, and had to wash that hand to get the smell off it.
19:01 katsmeow-afk That made both hands stink, so i washed with detergent and then with hand soap again. The stink is till on my hands. What works to make them not smell?
19:01 katsmeow-afk now of course i'll smell that "fake fresh" every time i lift my paw to my mouth to eat dinner
19:01 katsmeow-afk and i cannot bring the jars into the house

19:53 katsmeow-afk Summary:
19:53 katsmeow-afk Agricultural researchers and computer scientists are working on the development of an unmanned robot, equipped with non-invasive advanced sensors and artificial intelligence systems, which will help manage vineyards. This robot will provide reliable, fast and objective information on the state of the vineyards to grapegrowers, such as vegetative development, water status, production and grape composition.
20:44 rue_more its funny you know, they dont get any credit
20:44 rue_more but prettymuch all technology goes back to farming
20:45 katsmeow-afk who don't?
20:46 rue_more farms
20:47 rue_more well, the farming industry
20:47 katsmeow-afk tell me about it, i wanted a garden, and was told growing food is a waste of time, and it annoys the dogs
20:48 Tom_L i get 10v when i send 1000rpm i get 0v when i send 5000rpm
20:48 Tom_L when i invert the pin i get nothing
20:48 katsmeow-afk i wanted to see what the cheapest way was of telling a garden plant from a weed, and make money off it
20:48 Tom_L the logic probe shows it inverted
20:48 rue_more there was a studdy that showed a shocking number of school students dont know what a potato is
20:48 Tom_L it's not red
20:48 katsmeow-afk a potato??
20:48 Tom_L a tomato is red
20:48 Tom_L or green
20:48 rue_more yea, put a potato infront of a school student and they dont know what it is
20:49 katsmeow-afk some potatos are red to, my fav kind
20:49 Tom_L give em a purple one and watch em freak out
20:59 katsmeow-afk "The good thing about reinventing the wheel is that you can get a round one."
21:06 rue_more indeed
21:59 katsmeow-afk Half the computers that exist at any point are worse than average.
22:02 Tom_itx the cooling fan was making alot of noise so i shoved a wire in the blades
22:02 Tom_itx now it runs quiet as a mouse
22:03 katsmeow-afk knock the dust bunnies off it?
22:03 Tom_itx i dunno
22:03 Tom_itx i was busy and it was pissing me off
22:03 katsmeow-afk i've done it too
22:04 katsmeow-afk replace it with a fan slow fan, those tiny 6000rpm fan don't move much air anyhow
22:04 katsmeow-afk err, fat slow fan
22:09 katsmeow-afk http://www.jwz.org/hacks/
22:12 katsmeow-afk .....I worte tihs scrpit to scrmbale txet in taht way. Hey, it wroks!
22:57 rue_more I aslo wtroe one but I pegmmoarrd mnie in c
22:59 katsmeow-afk it might be very difficult for a computer to understand that "language" if the switcharounds were totally random
23:01 tsmeow-afk is reminded of the tv sitcom episode of The Big Bang Theory, the guy who spoke with a really heavy accent, and the smartphone never understood
23:01 katsmeow-afk i found that alcohol gets most of the stink off the jars
23:02 katsmeow-afk i may then counter the stink that's left with some fresh WD40 aroma
23:05 katsmeow-afk my nose is burning
23:07 rue_more mmm WD40
23:07 rue_more sorry kat, I been sleeping a lot latley
23:10 Tom_itx ok so the pwmgen didn't work so well so tomorrow i'll try the stepgen
23:10 Tom_itx got most of the parameters set for it tonight
23:11 rue_more are you modding the srouce or toher
23:11 rue_more did you try to !pwmvalue when you should have ~pwmvalue
23:11 Tom_itx no
23:12 Tom_itx they're both hostmot2 functions
23:12 Tom_itx loaded on the board
23:12 Tom_itx i'm just calling them
23:12 Tom_itx i tried one and it produced a pulse but it was inverted
23:12 Tom_itx when i inverted the signal it didn't work
23:14 katsmeow-afk rue,why?
23:14 Tom_itx but you need to use the stepgen in velocity mode
23:15 rue_more not sure, just exhausted
23:16 katsmeow-afk please find out why, maybe that's my reason also
23:16 Tom_itx got a flu bug?
23:16 rue_more not that I'm aware of
23:16 katsmeow-afk ditto
23:16 rue_more lots of work stress
23:17 rue_more I have to wire fire alarm in 2 buildings
23:17 katsmeow-afk and not when it lasts over a yr
23:40 katsmeow-afk this stink is still on the white plastic some, and after spraying them with wd40, wiping them down, and re-spraying and wiping, i still smell it, and smell it on the rag
23:42 katsmeow-afk it's item 121554425520 good jars, but the stink of "fake fresh" laundry detergent will fill a room, like powdered laundry detergent like Tide
23:46 katsmeow-afk also, the jars are PET, but the lids are polypropylene, so uv lite will dissolve the tops
23:50 katsmeow-afk "are you kidding?? i said use the TDS tester, not the tazer, to check the aquarium water!! you fried my fish!!"
