00:22 tsmeow-afk ponders zhanx's robots walking around over some plate aluminum and plastics, using a router and drill to make more robot p
00:26 katsmeow-afk and then clean up after themselves
00:54 rue_house "I been working on understanding life" "if you work that out, let me know" "oh, I do know! The trick is to not let yourself fall into a false sense of thinking you have figured it out."
04:52 rue_house ok its only 2:30am
12:00 rue_shop3 ok, its already 9:30am
12:50 katsmeow-afk ok, i slept along time
13:54 katsmeow-afk the boss's name is Colin Hotz , middle name is Thus
18:04 rue_shop3 I'm back
18:04 rue_shop3 took 100kg of plastic to the dump
18:04 rue_shop3 er 80kg
18:04 rue_shop3 it filled th truck
21:48 tsmeow-afk got trailer lites, waaaaaaay too pricey (because they meet DOT regs), and not even LED or submise
21:48 katsmeow-afk or submirseable
21:48 katsmeow-afk underwater tolerant
21:57 katsmeow-afk harborfreight has an interesting tool they call a "mortiser"
21:59 katsmeow-afk i find it interesting becuase it's heavy, sturdy, and might make a good milling machine start, with some obvious mods, and it's pricey for a thing that needs mods to be something it isn't

22:02 katsmeow-afk just thinking if those steel posts are set so they are above the handcrank block, in a frame, you can get a much deeper throat for the work to slide in
22:03 katsmeow-afk and the chuck would need mod'ing for mill bits, and a rpm control
