00:08 katsmeow-afk also, most damage done to a steel boat is rust from moisture condensing inside the hull
00:09 katsmeow-afk by using dehydrated air-stuff (air, nitrogen, CO2, etc), you can eliminate that problem, even without paint
00:42 rue_shop3 do you know if there is a type of electrical wire thats got a REALLY high tensile strength?
00:43 rue_shop3 once upon a time we were tearing apart a house and there was this thin black wire used for maybe a doorbell system, it took quite a few turns around my pliers and everything I could pull on it with to get close to breaking it
00:43 rue_shop3 so much so that I kept a bunch to take home
00:43 katsmeow-afk hard drawn copper
00:43 katsmeow-afk the difference tween copper pipe and copper tubing
00:43 rue_shop3 its stranded, its like its made of springsteel
00:43 katsmeow-afk the pipe is thinner, but much tougher
00:43 rue_shop3 its ~20guage
00:44 rue_shop3 it can take almost 100lbs
00:44 rue_shop3 maybe a little more
00:44 tsmeow-afk
00:44 rue_shop3 huh, ok
00:45 rue_shop3 whats it used in, I'v never seen it before
00:46 katsmeow-afk afaik, it was a general purpose tough wire
00:46 rue_shop3 hmm
00:46 katsmeow-afk it was flexable enough to install, but it wasn't mean for a fexable duty
00:46 rue_shop3 so maybe its not a good cable to use back and forth around a pulley?
00:46 katsmeow-afk right
00:46 rue_shop3 hmm
00:47 katsmeow-afk how much current?
00:47 rue_shop3 the system wans't active
00:47 rue_shop3 I think its high temp jacket too
00:47 katsmeow-afk how much current arround the pulley??
00:47 rue_shop3 0
00:47 rue_shop3 I need to extend a belt
00:47 katsmeow-afk the laptop is cycling the fan, it's like it's breathing
00:48 rue_shop3 time for some compressed air
00:50 katsmeow-afk but there
00:50 katsmeow-afk s time the fan runs, and times it doesn't, right then it was on-off-on-off-onn-of........
00:51 rue_shop3 bah, its a 608 bearing, I'm gonna run that wire over it till it gives out
00:56 katsmeow-afk The Kelco Company, the largest of the kelp harvesters in California today,
00:56 katsmeow-afk estimates that its sales of algin alone (not including all other kelp-related products) exceeds
00:56 katsmeow-afk $35 million per year.
00:56 katsmeow-afk 1994
01:11 katsmeow-afk i set the alarm for 5:30am, i hope i get some sleep before then
03:20 katsmeow-afk .
03:44 katsmeow-afk As of February of 2007, the entire collection of images produce a compressed tar.gz file of over 213 GB (gigabytes). As of November 2011 the image and other media files take up about 17T

15:59 katsmeow-afk my arm is hurting *inside*
16:00 katsmeow-afk when i open and close the elbow and when i rotate the hand
16:05 katsmeow-afk these peple are talking nonsence, if i were to crank my welder up to 200 amp and weld with 1/8 rod, the whole rod would be red-hot and melt thru and fall on the work before i was done using it to weld with
17:19 Tom_itx kat do you run 7 on anything?
17:20 Tom_itx how does it compare to xp on a similar machine speed as far as loading and performance?
17:57 katsmeow-afk xp 32bit (pro and common) on the cluster (currently 6 machines are up), and vista 64bit home premium on the laptop
18:00 katsmeow-afk the laptop is 10 years newer, a 64bit cpu memory and OS, afaik sata2 hdd, but it chugs slower and cannot do as much at one time
18:00 katsmeow-afk as any of the desktop xp boxes
18:01 katsmeow-afk the thin client 1.6gx box with 512megs ram is ovbipusly slower, but all i do on it is occasional wget dl and internet radio
18:02 katsmeow-afk it will play low rez movies too, if the movie is on it's own hdd
18:02 katsmeow-afk it's the only xp box with sound
18:02 katsmeow-afk the laptop has wonderful sound and will play hd movies
18:03 katsmeow-afk wide scream
18:04 katsmeow-afk i watch PBS and BBC on it
18:04 katsmeow-afk and Big Bang Theory
18:04 katsmeow-afk because PBS and BBC are not shown here either
18:05 katsmeow-afk PBS were before the switch ti digital tv
18:05 katsmeow-afk got some "brass tone" steel hnges, i blew on them, they don;t sound all that brassy
18:06 Tom_itx so xp is better performing overall
18:06 katsmeow-afk for me, yeas
18:06 katsmeow-afk however, i know better than to try and switch the laptop to xp
18:07 katsmeow-afk vista explorer screws up often, in directory/file displays
18:08 katsmeow-afk "i KNOW that filename is not The Big Bang Theorycccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc!"
18:09 katsmeow-afk "the dir is NOT empty, refresh view"
19:24 Tom_L rue_house, did you ever find a good SSD?
19:24 Tom_L reliable...
19:38 rue_house I stopped after two didn't last more than 6 months
19:38 rue_house i still have the warranty drives, I dont know what to put them in being they are so likley to fail
19:39 Tom_itx some guys say intels are good
19:39 Tom_itx i just use the one i have purely for testing things
19:39 Tom_itx nothing i need reliability with
19:40 rue_house I'm making aluminum muffins,
19:40 rue_house with harddrives interestingly enough
19:41 Tom_itx muffins?
19:41 Tom_itx melting them down?
20:03 rue_shop3 casting them in muffin tins
20:03 rue_shop3 katsmeow-afk, see, this is a perfect example
20:04 rue_shop3 Ihave a peice of 3/8" plate, I need to cut a 3/4" notch out of the side of it
20:04 rue_shop3 in the time I'v tried to work out how, you would be done
20:05 Tom_L hack saw
20:06 rue_shop3 "hmm, the smell of burning rubber.... smells kinda like... SHOE RUBBER!!!!"
20:06 Tom_L drill across the bottom
20:06 Tom_L file the bottom flat
20:15 Tom_L mmm storm coming..
20:54 katsmeow-afk standing in molten metals , or lava, is contraindicated, rue
20:54 katsmeow-afk just fyi, pouring molten metals into your shoes while you are wearing them,, is also contraindicated
20:56 katsmeow-afk "This steel i am grinding on smells like burning fabric. My legs are sure getting warm. You know, that would be a heck of a conincidence if my pants were on fire. Oh hell, my pants are on fire!!!"
21:16 katsmeow-afk hmm, i accidently won a small water tank of the home RO system type, bought and delivered for $19.95
21:25 katsmeow-afk 12v DC 1" Electric Solenoid Valve Diesel Gas Water Air
21:25 katsmeow-afk $0.50
21:25 katsmeow-afk 1 bid
21:25 katsmeow-afk +$37.80 shipping
21:25 katsmeow-afk omd, that poor sucker
21:29 katsmeow-afk i washed the dirt and swarf off my arms, had to immediately reapply the sunburn spray
21:29 Tom_itx maybe you should wear some sleeves
21:30 katsmeow-afk read a good approximaton of disatances of UV from arc welding,, basically 3ft from the arc would have been fine if the air was so smokey i couldn't see my arm
21:32 katsmeow-afk Tom, usually, i do, but my left arm was so far from the arc, i thought it would be ok, i paused an hour from the first 8ft of weld to the rest, and didn't see any effect
21:35 tsmeow-afk tries some of the fake aloe vera gel, with men
21:36 Tom_itx that blue stuff works pretty good
21:37 katsmeow-afk this is blue,, what blue stuff you mean? another brand of fake aloe with menthol?
21:39 katsmeow-afk it's pretty bad, when i went to get buy this morning, it was too much to take, breathing n it, sun shining on it, wearing anything was totally out of the question, i went to town for stuff to put on it, and ant poison and wasp spray.... it's Spring, need to kill things :-/
21:40 katsmeow-afk after the rains the other day, next day there was an ant hill in my driveway ~ 6"x8"x2ft
21:41 Tom_itx this is called ocean potion
21:42 tsmeow-afk asks the
21:42 katsmeow-afk Official Ocean Potion Website: Ocean Potion pioneered protective sunscreens
21:42 katsmeow-afk too late for a sunscreen
21:43 katsmeow-afk i needed pain relief, and something to make the skim flexable again, it was like waxed paper
21:43 katsmeow-afk skin
21:44 Tom_itx http://www.walmart.com/ip/893591?wmlspartner=wlpa&adid=22222222227001200663&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=c&wl3=40843799912&wl4=&wl5=pla&wl6=48802290677&veh=sem
21:45 katsmeow-afk hmm, that wasn't on the ocean potion website
21:45 Tom_itx aloe, lidocain, tea tree extract
21:45 Tom_itx i don't use it much
21:45 Tom_itx once in a while
21:47 tsmeow-afk
21:47 katsmeow-afk the spray i got is aloe and lidocaine
21:47 tsmeow-afk makes a note to look for Tom's blue goo next time in Wal
21:48 Tom_itx the spray may not be as goopy
21:48 katsmeow-afk i specifically skipped Walmart today, went to Walgreens just to avoid the huge mass of humanity at Walmart at the time,, Home Depot for ait/wasp kilelrs
21:49 katsmeow-afk it isn't, very fine mist , numbs nearly instantly, but being a spray can , there's not much in there for the price, so i did get Walgreens version of blue gell
21:51 katsmeow-afk this morning, i had to spray my arm 3x before i even got back home, it was that bad,, still sharp edge to the redness where my glove covered it
21:55 katsmeow-afk 56% [===================> ] 7,077,762,145 139K/s eta 13h 49m
22:13 katsmeow-afk it made it into wikipedia : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dewvaporation
22:14 tsmeow-afk goes to nuke some ta
22:24 rue_house "eat your soy beans!" "I HATE SOY BEANS, i refuse to eat anything till you stop trying to force me to eat soy beans!!!" "what are you doing?" "I am preparing to die"
22:32 katsmeow-afk ouch
22:34 katsmeow-afk being that i did not sleep last nite, i may sleep tonite
22:36 rue_house it looks like there might be one operating plant using that process, but its hard to find much information among all the images of bra's
22:36 rue_house and toher thing langerie
22:36 rue_house SOME VERRY THIN!
22:36 katsmeow-afk method of what?
22:37 rue_house desalination
22:37 katsmeow-afk desalination does not usually occur in bras
22:38 rue_house I tried to google for "how to get google to give you only results for what your searching for" but none of the results were answers
22:38 tsmeow-afk
22:40 katsmeow-afk http://www.usbr.gov/pmts/water/publications/reportpdfs/report120.pdf
22:45 katsmeow-afk for a floating store / hotdog burger shack out in the ocean, one of the most important things to have for sale is water
22:47 katsmeow-afk and
22:47 katsmeow-afk remaining at atmospheric pressure throughout the device
22:48 katsmeow-afk but sume papers say heat must be added, and a 1psi pressure diferent maintained
22:51 katsmeow-afk is there a IR led that will actually warm stuff?
22:53 katsmeow-afk Coroplast,
22:53 katsmeow-afk Incorporated�s (1-800-666-2241) twin-wall, 4-mm, polypropylene extruded sheet
22:53 katsmeow-afk was purchased at $5.25 per 4-foot by 8-foot sheet from local suppliers. This price
22:53 katsmeow-afk is for small quantity from a distributor. Projected price for bulk quantity direct
22:53 katsmeow-afk from manufacturer is less than $2.50 per sheet.
22:53 katsmeow-afk all i can find is $10/sheet or higher
22:53 katsmeow-afk The outer surfaces were covered with wetting gauze so that the surfaces would
22:53 katsmeow-afk wet with saline feed water.
22:54 katsmeow-afk the gauze will gunk up and need replacing, complicated by the difficulty in re-adhereing the polypropylene to anything in the system
22:55 katsmeow-afk the adhereence breaks so easily, moving the towers to a new test facility broke most of the towers
23:06 tsmeow-afk goes to put her hind paws into the roa
23:07 katsmeow-afk if my body wants to sleep, i will prolly go along with that
