00:07 katsmeow-afk yeas,, i worry about catching a fish, wringin it out over the fuel tanks, and then trying to cook it for dinner
00:07 rue_house if you drop a doubel pipe with a bubbler going up the outter pipe, you could suck the stuff right off the bottom
00:08 rue_house its pre-oiled

00:25 rue_house oooo maybe I should make a program that sits betwen the user and the command program and logs what they type

02:24 katsmeow-afk wanna know how to piss off alot of people? woman in wheelchair, wearing dog collar, attach leash, drag her around the mall, someone is sure to get pulverised
02:26 katsmeow-afk wanna spice it up more? the woman pulling on the leash occasionally turns arond and mock-slaps the woman sitting motionless in the wchair, then complains loudly the woman bled on her hand when she slapped her
02:26 katsmeow-afk better have body guards
02:27 katsmeow-afk i knew someone who was into that, she lived *dangerously*
09:11 rue_house hmm
09:11 rue_house are you dissapearing off the power grid soon?
19:26 katsmeow-afk <1> what is "ass-topping" ? i saw it in a commercial on tv
19:26 katsmeow-afk <2> what did the tv commercial say?
19:26 katsmeow-afk <1> Talk to your physician before stopping this drug. Ass-topping can lead to constipation.
19:26 katsmeow-afk <2> prolly meant:
19:26 katsmeow-afk <2> Talk to your physician before stopping this drug, as stopping can lead to constipation.
19:26 katsmeow-afk <3> Talk to your physician before watching tv, as you may need a hearing aid.
21:55 rue_bed hikat
21:56 rue_bed wow, I just slept 3 hours
21:56 katsmeow-afk yeas, putting a 10x10x10 box of air undewater will support 64,000 lbs, and 8 legs with one box each will hold up 256 tons
21:56 rue_bed and the mecha, I'v worked out the last important detil
21:56 rue_bed I'm gonna paint it blue
21:56 katsmeow-afk each detil ?
21:56 katsmeow-afk blue is a good color
21:56 rue_bed detail
21:56 rue_bed :)
21:57 rue_bed still waking up
21:57 katsmeow-afk i found a stainless steel cpu heatsink
21:57 rue_bed thats silly
21:57 rue_bed really solid stainless?>
21:57 katsmeow-afk i thought it was highly unusual, so i paid $1 for it
21:58 rue_bed I'v seen chromed copper ones
21:58 katsmeow-afk fins and everything, ~3x2 and 1.5 deep, heavy copper spreader where it sits on the cpu
21:58 rue_bed ah, hmm
21:58 rue_bed black and blue,
21:58 rue_bed the light cowlings blue mostly
21:59 katsmeow-afk shiney black really makes the trailer *!pop!*
21:59 rue_bed so, black with blue cowlings
21:59 rue_bed :)
21:59 rue_bed ok, there is still light out, I'm gonna go sit in the yard, maybe build a mecha
22:00 katsmeow-afk tomorrowgoing to take the tires off to paint inside the wheel wells
22:00 katsmeow-afk k
22:13 rue_shop3 hmm the shop is a bit cooler with the window left open all day
22:17 katsmeow-afk http://imgur.com/gallery/rw4nUxo
22:27 katsmeow-afk http://imgur.com/gallery/E905s
22:51 rue_shop3 I hope they didn't really eat one, unless it died anyhow
22:54 katsmeow-afk if it couldn't stand, they prolly ate it, it couldn't have chased down grass and lichens to eat
22:54 katsmeow-afk being aroundhumans is very exhausting
23:25 rue_shop3 for the shoulder of the 12' mecha, I need to make an arm-inline roll axis
23:25 rue_shop3 the human arm uses two parallel members and corsses them
23:25 rue_shop3 crosses them
23:26 rue_shop3 I suppose the other one uses a 90 bend at the end
23:34 rue_shop3 should I translate then scale, or scale then translate
23:34 rue_shop3 I think its probably good if the translate isn't scaled
23:35 tsmeow-afk hands rue a fish scaler to
23:36 e_shop3 tries to scale a fish by
23:36 e_shop3 translates the sounds it m
23:37 tsmeow-afk warps her brain thinking abou
23:37 e_shop3 tries scaling the fish by
23:37 katsmeow-afk coaxial EMT, couplea bearings in between
23:38 rue_shop3 how to deal with it being pulled on tho?
23:38 katsmeow-afk or check out fence tubing, or real tubing
23:38 katsmeow-afk pulled on? you ever pull the inner race outa the outer race on a ball bearing? really?
23:39 rue_shop3 no, but I'm not sure how to secure the bearings for that
23:39 katsmeow-afk oh, that's whyfor you has a lathe
23:39 rue_shop3 I'm thinking of this at the middle, which may be where my problem lies
23:39 rue_shop3 it all needs to be cable driven too
23:40 rue_shop3 but I think I have an idea for that
23:40 katsmeow-afk well, a trick wold be to mount all the finger/wrist acualtors on the *outer* tubing
23:40 katsmeow-afk or, *inside* the outer tubing
23:40 katsmeow-afk or both
23:40 rue_shop3 I like outside, cause of servicablility
23:41 katsmeow-afk yeas, easier to get to
23:41 rue_shop3 but there's no saying the cablery cant go down the inside
23:41 katsmeow-afk y canget some 1" steel tubing with 3/8 wall that's tough
23:41 rue_shop3 this arm is supposed to rate for +300lbs
23:41 rue_shop3 each segment is 25" long
23:42 rue_shop3 hingepin to hingepin
23:42 katsmeow-afk 300 @ 10:1 is3000 lbs at the shoulder
23:42 rue_shop3 (+300lbs = its own weight + 300lbs)
23:43 rue_shop3 I wonder how big 2 ton steel cable is
23:43 rue_shop3 ... do you know?
23:43 katsmeow-afk use 3 1000lbs, it's way more flexable
23:43 rue_shop3 point taken
23:43 katsmeow-afk you can use 3/16
23:44 katsmeow-afk lathe your own flat pulleys to hold it
23:44 rue_shop3 hmm, thats not too bad
23:44 katsmeow-afk dink it with a paddle shape cutter for the lil cables
23:45 katsmeow-afk technically, kevlar timing belts should hold too
23:45 katsmeow-afk but they may wear the rubber off themsleves
23:45 rue_shop3 ooo timing chain
23:45 katsmeow-afk yeas
23:46 katsmeow-afk you have some for that purpose, i thought
23:46 rue_shop3 I wonder how much torque a timing pulley can take
23:47 rue_shop3 cast iron
23:47 rue_shop3 bad fail mode
23:47 katsmeow-afk if it' steel? until the key on the shaft shears off
23:47 rue_shop3 oh and I cant weld to it cause its cast
23:47 katsmeow-afk oh, yeas, cast iron may shatter
23:48 rue_shop3 any cars use belt operated transmissions?
23:48 rue_shop3 belt/clutch?
23:48 katsmeow-afk i needs to remove the peeple boots froom my hind paws,
23:48 katsmeow-afk why a clutch?
23:48 rue_shop3 car transmission
23:48 katsmeow-afk why a clutch?
23:49 rue_shop3 dont need a clutch, but if there is a transmision that uses a sync. belt for reduction it would prolly take anything I could throw at it
23:49 katsmeow-afk oh,, ok, you need the hub from a usa mil hummer
23:49 rue_shop3 oh, thats a good point to, I can throw a little reduction with some gears at the joint
23:49 katsmeow-afk or some forklifts
23:50 rue_shop3 hahaha oh easy to find in canada, I'll go to the corner store! :/
23:50 rue_shop3 oh forklifts
23:50 rue_shop3 damn
23:50 rue_shop3 the guy with the huge equip scrapheap cut it all up last year
23:51 rue_shop3 prolly frozen anyhow
23:51 katsmeow-afk next time you are under a real hummer, see how the half-shafts go from the difefretial to the *top* of the wheel hubs, not to the center like a car or 4x4 civilian truck......... or as zhanx
23:51 katsmeow-afk ask
23:51 rue_shop3 it amkes sense, they could raise the frame if the axles weren't in the way
23:52 katsmeow-afk more gnd clearance
23:52 katsmeow-afk lookie how the lower A-frame comes down at ~45 degrees, and there's no axle in the way
23:54 katsmeow-afk you should get the look i got when the mil recruiter at a uni was told all about the hydraulics in the drive train of a M1A1 battle tank
23:54 e_shop3 wonders how many hummers kats been unde
23:54 katsmeow-afk including the unpublished gotchas
23:55 rue_shop3 were you a mil mechanic?
23:55 katsmeow-afk no
23:55 rue_shop3 might explain... oh
23:57 rue_shop3 I hope you weren't being run over by the hummer you were inspecting
23:58 rue_shop3 I could see that happening to me, things take so long, I get borred and distracted
