18:49 katsmeow-afk how much would that cost?
18:50 katsmeow-afk i know it should be dirt cheap once set up as an extruded process, but that's like $2000 upfront
18:50 katsmeow-afk oh, and must be a UV tolerant plastic, it's going in direct sun
18:50 katsmeow-afk is it possible?
18:53 tsmeow-afk ponders plexig

19:57 katsmeow-afk !�!�!�!�!�!
19:58 katsmeow-afk o��𤰺
19:58 katsmeow-afk ��e��
19:58 katsmeow-afk ��
19:59 katsmeow-afk ��
19:59 katsmeow-afk ��y�
20:04 katsmeow-afk _-_
20:04 katsmeow-afk _-1,0_
20:05 katsmeow-afk _-0,1_
20:05 katsmeow-afk hmm
20:05 katsmeow-afk _-0,1_
20:05 katsmeow-afk cannot color a "reverse font"
20:43 rue_shop3 its quite clear - I have a hard time seeing it
20:48 Tom_itx har har
21:21 katsmeow-afk i think the answer is 3/16 plexi
21:26 katsmeow-afk doubled .093 on top and bottom, single .093 on sides
21:27 katsmeow-afk that will give me the min .180 , the next step up is .220 , i think too thick
21:34 katsmeow-afk Whirlpool 30-Gallon 6-Year Tall Electric Water Heater
21:41 katsmeow-afk well, as usual, cannot get it locally
21:53 katsmeow-afk POLYETHILENE ... WE ALSO PREPARE CUSTOMS SIZES, MINIMUM 10 PEICES
21:56 tsmeow-afk is so not going to buy from
22:02 katsmeow-afk i wish humans would stop screwing with the facts: .177 is NOT 3/16, .187 is 3/16 ,, .177 is 4.5mm
22:27 katsmeow-afk At infrared wavelengths longer than 2,800 nanometers and as long as 25,000 nanometers, and in thicknesses greater than 0.118 inch, colorless Plexiglas� sheet is entirely opaque. At thicknesses less than 0.118 inch,
22:27 katsmeow-afk Plexiglas� sheet transmits small amounts of infrared energy at certain wavelengths within this region. All standard formulations of colorless Plexiglas� sheet have the same general infrared transmittance characteristics.
22:27 katsmeow-afk soo, plexi covering a panel designed to get hot in the sun,, won't work?
22:28 rue_house hmm
22:29 katsmeow-afk Here's the chart for POLYCARBONATE sheet - known as Lexan, Tuffak, Makrolon etc. Note that polycarbonate goes opaque in the UV spectrum and has good IR transmission.
22:29 katsmeow-afk so plexi is NOT polycarbonate
22:33 rue_house no
22:33 rue_house lexan is different stuff
22:33 rue_house you cant break lexan, you can kinda tear it
22:33 rue_house it machines great
22:34 tsmeow-afk
22:34 rue_house to see what you have, hit it with a punch, if it shatters into 50 peices, it was plexiglass, if there is a dimple, its lexan
22:35 katsmeow-afk heh
22:35 katsmeow-afk which is less bendy? which is cheaper?
22:35 rue_house :)
22:35 rue_house plexiglass is cheaper
22:36 rue_house lexan will bend right over, where plexiglass will snap after a few degrees
22:37 rue_house 1/4" lexan will bend around a 1/4" rod with only maybe a few tears
22:37 rue_house tear, not tear
22:37 rue_house WHAT A STUPID LANGUAGE
22:37 katsmeow-afk heh
22:37 tsmeow-afk looks at the lexan wee
22:37 e_house hits head on
22:38 rue_house oh the sign says head the desk, silly me
22:39 katsmeow-afk "head the desk" ?
22:39 rue_house heed?
22:39 katsmeow-afk heed? you listen to the desk?
22:39 rue_house its a smart desk
22:39 katsmeow-afk oh, one of those
22:40 rue_house its always kicking me in the shinns to tell me things
22:40 katsmeow-afk got a saw?
22:40 rue_house no, but I saw one
22:40 rue_house in the shop
22:41 rue_house perogies are much better with butter
22:41 rue_house I really need to get some butter
22:41 katsmeow-afk so are red tatoes
22:41 rue_house yea, the little ones
22:41 katsmeow-afk i had some "salted butte", but the store no longer carries it, so i add salt
22:41 rue_house so sweet when fresh
22:42 rue_house gee, if they make low salt, low fat butter, were gonna be in a cooking crisis
22:42 katsmeow-afk altho, i add the mixed salt: 50-50 potassium and sodium chloride
22:42 rue_house I dont like the low sodium salt
22:43 rue_house seems to make fine degasser for the aluminum smelter tho
22:43 katsmeow-afk no wonder i am low-fart when eating beans
22:44 rue_house arg, I'm gonna fall asleep
22:44 rue_house I need to work out what to get lots of kids doing tommrow
22:45 katsmeow-afk train the robot arm to use the curve tracer to sort out the mixed parts?
22:46 rue_house if the box of mixed parts was to be sorted, it would result in each part being in its own box...
22:47 rue_house I been thinking of sending it to scrap
22:47 rue_house one of them anyhow
22:47 katsmeow-afk but you'd know what it was
22:47 rue_house so many little peices of metal that could be perfect for soemthing
22:47 katsmeow-afk one of the items to the scrap? do they accept low quantities like that?
22:47 rue_house sure, they have a bin
22:48 rue_house "small than a toaster goes in here!"
22:48 katsmeow-afk i can imagine going to the scrap dealer and trying to sell him one 1206 smd capacitor
22:48 rue_house its an open give and take corner
22:48 katsmeow-afk "but it has tantalum in it!"
22:48 rue_house there is no money given or taken
22:48 katsmeow-afk free toasters? that's pricey stainless steel and nichrome, yanno
22:49 rue_house I got eth element from a dryer

22:50 rue_house oh I'm thinking electric furnace, sorry
22:50 katsmeow-afk well, i got some 240v 10amp too
22:51 katsmeow-afk and a small pile of water heater elements and stovetop elements
22:51 rue_house ohm -v 240 -i 10
22:51 rue_house Wattage is: 2400.000000
22:51 rue_house Current is: 10.000000
22:51 rue_house Voltage is: 240.000000
22:51 rue_house Resistance is : 24.000000
22:51 katsmeow-afk easy to pick and choose the resistance with alligator clips
22:51 rue_house :)
22:52 rue_house I really must come visit some day
22:52 rue_house I'm just woried you'll try to shoot me ;)

22:54 katsmeow-afk alabama is way far away, in terms of distance and culture
22:54 katsmeow-afk it seriously is less civilised here now than it ever was
22:55 rue_house damnit, my passport expires mar 1016
22:55 katsmeow-afk guy who often burns garbage got a new rifle

22:58 rue_house 2016....
22:58 rue_house that was my OLD passport
22:58 rue_house george the bad neighbour?
22:58 rue_house got a squatter?
22:59 katsmeow-afk it's irritating, you get a passport, but it's really no good, because you haveto go somewhere and show it to someone every time you come and go,, if i had to goto the police station every time i wanted to drive my car, to show a driver license,, that wold be as stupid
22:59 katsmeow-afk George the mexican-indian , died a maybe 4 yrs ago, i think
23:00 rue_house ok
23:00 rue_house ok finished supper
23:00 rue_house back to the warm shop
23:00 katsmeow-afk he daughters refused to keep the place, due to lack of it being civilised, one said no way she wold let her son play outside unless she was out with a gunto protect him

23:19 katsmeow-afk time to reboot FF, it's showing portions of two sites on one screen
23:34 katsmeow-afk i had a wonderful idea, but it's too pricey to bui;d
23:35 katsmeow-afk shrink down one of those 6-actuator move-every-which-way table postionaer thing, now stack up a dozen of them, call it a "leg", attach it to a robot, make more "legs"
23:38 rue_shop3 my shop... lacks..... space........ to put...... robots.......
23:39 rue_shop3 you know why thats a problem, right?
23:39 katsmeow-afk if you had robots, couldn't you just tell them to put themselves in storage out of the way, and let them figure it out?
