02:21 katsmeow-afk hothardware.com/News/security-researcher-dumps-10-million-passwords-online-fears-fbi-raid
02:53 katsmeow-afk The EPA is not only forbidden from regulating cow manure, it cannot require farmers to obtain permits for ... cow belches and farts

17:12 katsmeow-afk expecting anything from China much? http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/USA-Update/2015/0212/Ports-across-West-Coast-shut-down-amid-labor-dispute
17:13 katsmeow-afk Groups of ships are currently waiting outside the ports of Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Oakland in California, and Seattle and Tacoma in Washington.
17:13 katsmeow-afk Overall, the stalled negotiations have affected activities in 29 ports
17:14 Tom_itx i was
17:15 katsmeow-afk me too
17:15 Tom_itx and i was just happy i beat their new year
17:15 tsmeow-afk ponders the ships going to Vancouver and air/train freighting stuff into the
17:16 Tom_itx then it would get stuck in customs twice
17:16 katsmeow-afk yeas, but it would likely get her faster as the usa "workers" sitt on their butts in the shipping ports
17:17 katsmeow-afk my China package is still "in transit" , "transitting" at a speed of "dead stop, engines off"
17:17 Tom_itx then load them up on the empty ships and take them out to see. get somebody that _wants_ to work
17:18 katsmeow-afk i agree
17:29 tsmeow-afk remembers the stupidity about putting a rocket engine on the front of torpedoes, pushing the torpedo *backwa
17:30 katsmeow-afk if the torpedo must push forwards with 10 tons against the nose cone, then adding another ton to push air bubbles out there isn't going to speed itup
17:31 katsmeow-afk plus when the torpedo advances into the bubbles to the point where the *water* propellor is now biting into *air*, it's simply going to stop
17:32 katsmeow-afk but someone prolly wasted $millions on that too
17:47 katsmeow-afk owwwwwwoooooch : http://www.al.com/opinion/index.ssf/2015/02/alabama_gop_chief_says_gay_mar.html
18:52 tsmeow-afk is about to decide that using engine-generator-motor units is a fine idea, because it means the motors can be located anywhere and be fairly independant of engine speed/to
18:53 katsmeow-afk because, ferinstance, there's no wheeled vehicle that can pull my trailers up the unpaved portion of driveway
18:55 katsmeow-afk but it i attach portable motors, and snap-in gears to the trailer wheel hubs, the trailers can wheel themselves up the driveway, the seadoo can drag itself out of the water on the boatramp, each pontoon can have embedded motor-propellor, etc

19:18 katsmeow-afk it's been too cold all day today
19:19 katsmeow-afk if i was out in the gulf far enugh, i'd enjoy the day at 70 F
19:20 katsmeow-afk Jamaca is at 80 f atm
19:21 katsmeow-afk Cuba is right about 70 f all over
19:22 katsmeow-afk Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida is at 65 F now
19:35 katsmeow-afk so that snow burying Boston atm , cani take a cu ft of it and compress it to be an ice block, and how much would the cu ft of snow be compressed to be that block? 2:1? 3:1 ?
20:28 Tom_itx yay, my spindle pwm control is working
20:28 katsmeow-afk congregations!
20:28 Tom_itx the scale is close but not exact
20:29 Tom_itx it's about as good as i can get without using PID
20:29 Tom_itx but it's under 0 load just sitting on the bench
20:30 Tom_itx thankfully for rigid tapping, the axis follows the spindle movement so it's not all that critical
20:34 tsmeow-afk ponders cutting one foot on the pillow blocks down , to squeeze the shafts closer toge
20:35 katsmeow-afk UCP 206-20 is apparently 6" across at the feets
20:35 katsmeow-afk 3" from axle center to the edge of the foot
20:37 katsmeow-afk yipes, cast iron is $10, stainless steel is $110
20:40 katsmeow-afk well, even at 6" apart, it's closer than what my existing roller is
21:29 e_more asks kat if he can borrow the LP with three-dogs-night, for the song
21:30 katsmeow-afk umm, sure, if i had a clue where it was
21:31 katsmeow-afk it's not on any puter that's powered up atm, and pretty sure it's on a hdd not installed
21:31 Tom_itx rue_more, spindle pwm works
21:32 rue_more sweet
21:32 rue_more the isolator did it
21:32 rue_more ?

21:32 rue_more :0

21:37 katsmeow-afk drawn to scale
21:37 rue_more what holds the bearings
21:37 rue_more I had to type that 4 times to get it that right
21:37 katsmeow-afk more steel
21:37 rue_more this is actually becomming a challange
21:37 katsmeow-afk the center one is adjustable
21:38 katsmeow-afk on the existing roller, the center one is between the side ones, and is adjustable from underneath
21:38 rue_more found One, go duckduckgo
21:38 rue_more I got the sheetmetal today to make the top for that box
21:38 Tom_itx i should have had you make more din mounts
21:38 rue_more I have 4 inputs, each triggers a sound file,
21:38 katsmeow-afk hmmm,, forcing a 3" round sch20 over a square form to make a box?
21:38 rue_more I'm going to use clips form
21:39 Tom_itx i may mount a rail to the enclosure door
21:39 rue_more "one is the lonlest number"
21:39 rue_more "two of hearts"
21:39 Tom_itx that's old

21:45 katsmeow-afk grind, grind, grind
21:45 Tom_itx i may add PID to this once i get it all wired up
21:52 katsmeow-afk designerthinking.com/Three_Dog_Night-One.mp3
21:52 katsmeow-afk send it back when you are done with it, no hurry
21:56 tsmeow-afk resumes fixing di
22:01 katsmeow-afk i guess big bang theory didn't run again tonite
22:39 katsmeow-afk TIL if they don't have a "tie rod end" you need, ask for a "hanger bearing"
22:41 katsmeow-afk as in http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-1-4-Inch-Hanging-Bearing-Hanger-Bearing-UCHA-20-/231478559339
22:42 rue_more funny how they do that with words eh??
22:42 katsmeow-afk yeas, wierd
22:58 tsmeow-afk saves ~40MB of bearing
22:59 rue_more I just make a 12G bakup of my programming files on an sd card
23:18 katsmeow-afk http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/80977000/jpg/_80977955_rcp8.5_soilmoisture.jpg
23:19 rue_more yup, water is boiling off the planet

23:20 katsmeow-afk to Canada, apparently
23:21 rue_more venus
23:21 rue_more slowly
23:21 katsmeow-afk why would it migrate towards the sun?
23:21 rue_more sun is getting cooler
23:22 katsmeow-afk butit's still a fusion reactor millions ofmiles away
23:22 rue_more arg, I need more food
23:50 rue_more continiously having to feed the damn things
23:50 rue_more needs its own pair of arms, so I can get things done too
23:51 katsmeow-afk what things need arms?
23:52 rue_more my face
23:52 rue_more seems to need continious feeding, verry annoying
23:52 rue_more but you cant just stuff a bunch of food in at once either
23:52 rue_more has to be a paced rate
23:54 tsmeow-afk
23:54 katsmeow-afk you can drink it faster than eating, since drinks don't need mastication
23:55 rue_more and the cat wants my hands while I'm trying to eat and type
23:55 katsmeow-afk you have that spare hand you made
23:56 rue_more no compliance
23:57 katsmeow-afk oh
