00:19 rue_house pushpotato?
00:19 katsmeow have not tried those
00:20 rue_house you can do vegitable conversion on the stack right?
00:20 rue_house push a potato and pop corn?
00:22 rue_house or does that only work with fruit (apples and ornages)
00:23 katsmeow mmm mm ,mmmmmmmn
00:27 rue_house YOU CANT HANDLE A 3RD BURRITO!
01:01 katsmeow zzzzzzzzz
06:08 katsmeow-afk .
18:12 katsmeow-afk <thunder> IT IS MOVED <thunder and lightening and wind>
19:50 katsmeow-afk Broadcom (NASDAQ:BRCM) asserts its new BCM58100 microcontrollers (MCUs) are the first secure MCUs to have built-in NFC radios. The chips, which have begun sampling, are aimed at mobile point-of-sale (mPOS) terminals, PCs, home automation devices, security systems, and other products that could interact with NFC-capable smartphones/tablets.
19:50 katsmeow-afk -------------
19:50 katsmeow-afk Atmel's (NASDAQ:ATML) SAM L21 family of ARM-based (NASDAQ:ARMH) microcontrollers consume less than 35 microamps of power per MHz., far below the 120-160 microamps consumed by most low-power controllers.
19:51 katsmeow-afk That, together with a sleep mode power draw of less than 200 nanoamps and various power-saving features, leads Atmel to claim the chips can enable embedded/wearable devices and sensors with battery lives of 10 years or more.
19:51 katsmeow-afk The SAM L21, which comes with built-in flash and SRAM, delivered a score of 185 an industry power benchmark - Atmel states that's 50% above its closest competitor (an STMicroelectronics chip)
19:51 katsmeow-afk In addition to Atmel, Freescale and other ARM microcontroller vendors are working on ultra-low-power chips meant for embedded devices. Intel is going after the opportunity via its tiny Quark CPUs.

22:31 rue_house so what they are saying is that the xmeg is a dead idea
22:31 katsmeow-afk i didn't read further, i dunno
22:31 rue_house so does that mean the boat is togethor?
22:31 katsmeow-afk no, means i got 8 more feet of openspace under roof to work on it
22:32 katsmeow-afk and, the space where the back door goes is now also open, so i can put a door there
23:04 katsmeow-afk i sooo wanted to get the 3500 lb winch from HF while it was $70 off, but as long as i can figure a way to make the 2000 lb winches work, i don't need to be spending $130 on a new winch
23:05 katsmeow-afk for instance, today i double-lined a 2000 lb to pull the old hull, and still had to work with only the one cable wrap on the drum
23:06 katsmeow-afk so i needed 4000 lbs pull, and didn't *need* a 3500 lb winch to get it
23:26 rue_house do you use a 50lb winch and loop the line 80 times?
23:27 rue_house sorry, I recursivly read large blocks of text
23:30 katsmeow-afk i have used a come-along and looped it 8 times
23:30 katsmeow-afk actaully, i looped it x2, x2, x2
23:31 katsmeow-afk (((2000 x2)x2)x2) 16,000 lbs, broke a 1/2 inch steel cable
23:37 katsmeow-afk rue, did you ever add up the salt in the food you eat every day? i found that because food oem were cutting back on salt to be "heart healthy", i don't get the usa RDA of salt unless i add some
23:38 katsmeow-afk and that directly impacts my energy, specially when sweating
23:39 rue_house I know I'm over budget, but yea, I avoid the low salt stuff
23:39 rue_house and low fat
23:39 rue_house and low sugar
23:39 rue_house I'm prettymuch just buying 'origional' stuff
23:40 tsmeow-afk
23:44 rue_house its hard to know how much salt is in a package of food with the units they measure the salt per
23:44 rue_house the serving sizes are for mice
23:45 katsmeow-afk i go by the number of servings per container, and the percent RDA of whatever
23:45 rue_house I dont eat .8567 of a box of food, I eat .997 of it (the floor takes its share)
23:45 rue_house er, sorry, the serviings are more like .1367 of a box
23:46 rue_house but, I have a salt shaker in the kitchen, one byt he tv, and one here at my desk
23:48 rue_house I might get one in the shop, I'v been eating in there more often
23:48 katsmeow-afk before the Dog Era, i would spend most time outside, especially when there was no house to be inside of, and back then i could add so much salt to soft spagetti that it would be crunchy
23:49 rue_house today I slipped and hit my finger with a network termination punch
23:49 katsmeow-afk plus, most pre-made food in stores or take-out is not iodized salt, and yo need iodine for thyroid function
23:49 katsmeow-afk thyroid = energy
23:49 rue_house the impact numbed it for long enough for me to think about the problem for a while before I felt it
23:50 rue_house whilst it started to bleed all over the customers network equipment
23:51 katsmeow-afk did you punch it again to re-seal it?
23:51 rue_house pro move rue, pro move... "why is there saliva all over this network end?"
23:51 rue_house electrical tape is good cause it shinks
23:52 rue_house after being stretched off the roll
23:52 rue_house have to be carefull not to cut off circulation tho
23:52 tsmeow-afk
23:53 katsmeow-afk and duct tape adhesive can be very irritating to human skin
23:53 rue_house ok I have 13 minues to upgrade the ground on the 3d printer
23:53 rue_house er, - supply rail
