00:33 rue_house dont have anything to really pick it out with...
00:37 any37496663 yeas you do, all those robot arms
00:38 any37496663 or use the fork, may be faster
00:38 any37496663 if you turn the pot upside down, the spagetti will let go of the spoon
00:39 any37496663 i'm sure if you set it down for the cats, they'd just eat around the spoon, i don't see the big problem
00:43 any37496663 no wonder this thing is still scraping, it's not 1/4 inch eaither, it's 1/32 short
00:44 any37496663 it's 7/32ths
01:04 rue_house IN THE SILENCE I HEAR MUSIC. ITS FROM CHINA. I HAVE TO STOP DIGGING HOLES IN THAT YARD THAT ARE SO DEEP.
01:04 rue_house whats not scraping?
01:05 any37496663 the browser is not scraping
01:06 any37496663 turns out, 7/32 is a fine thickness in the oscopes, but the TM5xx require 1/4
01:06 any37496663 they tweaked the two ever so slightly in all dimensions to be sire using one in the other is a pita
01:07 any37496663 and thet 7912 for $25 no one is bidding on again
01:10 rue_house I think there is an entire economy around buying and reselling objects on ebay
01:10 any37496663 an oscope that can capture a 2ns pulse of any waveform, that will never happen that way again, and take 100's of 8-bit samples of it, and no one wants it for the $25 & $65 s&h
01:13 rue_house I have a 12" dia well with 8" of water in it
01:13 rue_house if I recirc that water to the well do you think it could cool the house?
01:13 rue_house must be cross flow in it
01:14 any37496663 no, after you run it thru the house to pick up the heat once, why wold you dump it into the well and heat it too?
01:14 rue_house heat up the ground, cooling in the process
01:14 rue_house I should think it takes a LOT of power to heat the ground up to 25c
01:14 any37496663 make a geo-heat-pump?
01:15 rue_house active, hmmm
01:15 rue_house need an old fridge
01:15 rue_house ... like the one in the bush up the street...
01:15 rue_house hmmmm
01:15 any37496663 i was just thining, since you were going to pump out of the wella nd dump it, may as well run it thru the house and make it cool first
01:16 rue_house dump it back to the well
01:16 rue_house ma is in a houseboat, and has a heat problem
01:16 rue_house this shouldn't be
01:16 any37496663 if you dump it back into the well, you make the well hotter, and useless for cooling
01:16 rue_house but the well has a LOT of cold stuff around it, and cross flow
01:17 y37496663 will leave it up to
01:17 rue_house I have two pumps comming
01:18 rue_house ooh, whats the boiler tank at!
01:18 rue_house ohh, right, the rad leaks
01:18 rue_house its at 16.5
01:18 rue_house my room is at 24.5
01:20 any37496663 lil warmish
01:20 any37496663 what's the well temperature?
01:22 rue_house 7c
01:22 rue_house ground here is always 7c
01:22 any37496663 you should have zero a/c costs, other than the pump and duct fan
01:24 rue_house when the trench was open for the septic line I wanted to put pipe in it, they told me it was a bad idea cause it'd freeze the sewer line
01:30 any37496663 tis 1am
01:33 rue_house maybe in AST
01:33 rue_house (Alabama Standard Time)

19:45 any60719406 http://www.ebay.com/itm/5M-Meters-GT2-Timing-Belt-5pcs-x-GT2-20-Tooth-Timing-Pulley-for-3D-printer-CNC-/271760155779
19:53 any43913146 must be raining, power got blinky
19:57 any43913146 http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-5-Axis-CNC-Breakout-Board-Interface-Adapter-for-Stepper-Motor-Driver-pump-/281570110606
20:04 any43913146 woah, i got a shipping *discount* from *China*
20:05 any43913146 $6
20:05 any43913146 kneatoe
20:06 tsmeow-afk goes outside to look at
20:17 katsmeow-afk i missed the whole rain, but it put 1-" of water into the 15ft dia tank
20:18 katsmeow-afk 10"
20:19 katsmeow-afk ~1100 gallons
20:20 katsmeow-afk (15/2)^2 x pi = 176 sq ft, times 0.8 ft = 141 cu ft, times 7.5 gal per cuft = 1100 gallons
20:22 katsmeow-afk so you can see how a modest 15ft pool 30" of water in it can be 3000 gallons
20:27 katsmeow-afk fwiw, i found a plastic gear seller : 11 different gears, they all mesh each other, $2 , which means for $8 you are guaranteed to get 4 of each gear,, you won't have 50 different gears
20:28 katsmeow-afk http://www.ebay.com/itm/281647809742
20:28 katsmeow-afk s&h = $1.50 for first one, free after that
20:38 katsmeow-afk looks like www.126.net is managed by www.163.net , but it's all chinese to me
20:41 katsmeow-afk if that storm would back up once, my pool/tank would be filled tonite
20:41 katsmeow-afk but, i am glad to have that 1100 gallons
20:42 katsmeow-afk i think i found a different cloth to be a coarse filter: organza
20:43 katsmeow-afk ~$2/ sq yd, toss it into a washing machine to clean it?
20:48 katsmeow-afk RF wireless controller: 6 channels, handheld case transmitter with buttons (up-down, left-right-to-fro,, guess what i will use that for), reciever with 6 1amp relays and shielded screw terminals, $14
20:55 katsmeow-afk wierd, pillow cases come in lots of 24
21:08 katsmeow-afk WASHINGTON - The Obama administration is considering setting up a new military base in Iraq's Anbar province and is closing in on a decision to send several hundred more trainers and advisers to help Iraqi forces in the fight against Islamic State militants there, U.S. officials said on Tuesday.

21:12 katsmeow-afk and in related news:
21:12 katsmeow-afk Conservative radio host compares pool party teens to 'jungle animals'
21:13 katsmeow-afk and this ironic item : bus driver hits blind pedestrian and seeing eye dog
21:31 katsmeow-afk remember those pancake motors Riff used as a generator on his windmill, thee's 2 at the recycler, seems they are in large ceiling fans here, and atm i am thinking i should have grabbed them, see if i can make very-low-rpm generators, rather like Riff did

21:39 katsmeow-afk yeas, one of those, but poles farther apart, it's not the pako washing machine motor
21:54 tsmeow-afk hmms at 1024-bit wide ram, and would like to point out she was laughed at for suggesting such a thing 20 yrs
21:55 rue_house eeek, robotics program is going viral
21:55 katsmeow-afk For example, the bus width on a HBM chip is 1024-bits wide, versus 32-bits on a GDDR5 chip. As a result, High Bandwidth Memory can, and likely needs to, be clocked much lower. Even at much lower clocks though, that wider memory bus and vertical stacking results in much more bandwidth�more than 100GB/s
21:57 rue_house I'm gonna have to really start oganizating it
21:59 katsmeow-afk your robotics program on Saturndays?
22:00 rue_house yea
22:00 rue_house AAAaaaaAAAaAAAA!
22:00 katsmeow-afk congrats
22:00 rue_house kinda
22:04 rue_house can you think of a way to do 1 simple thing that takes shunting an led across a 2032 battery and makes it a 'project' fun for kids?
22:05 katsmeow-afk yeas: see-in-dark goggles, make a IR flashlight, and sneak up on the cats in the dark
22:06 rue_house taping them to glasses, perfect!
22:06 e_house slaps the lablel 'interrogation glasses' on the pro
22:07 katsmeow-afk use 603 leds, put them around the ear, in the nose, as nitetime glowing jewelry
22:07 rue_house led lights with switch, jam it into a clear bucket and call it bucketbot, ok!
22:07 katsmeow-afk or 1206 around the ear, shining thru the ear
22:07 rue_house some really young kids, so I cant get fancy
22:07 rue_house the cr2032+led keeps them good for about 10 mins or so
22:09 katsmeow-afk theres is a incandescent screw-base bulb with a focussing tip on it, using a paperclip it can fit a 9v battery nicely, i found that somewhat useful and entertaining when i was,,,,,,, 5?
22:11 rue_house :)
22:12 rue_house I'm trying to rake togathor all the junk into something I can make an informational webpage from
22:12 rue_house I used to love leds, they were hard to get and cool, but every time I changed out for new batteries they stopped working
22:13 rue_house I didn't get the point of resistors till over 6 years later
22:14 katsmeow-afk ah
22:16 katsmeow-afk yanno, a printed chart of led colors vs battery voltage, and resistor value to use, may cause them to think you are giving out secret hacker information to them
22:16 rue_house doyou think soldering should be done as a mechanical thing before taking it to electronics?
22:16 rue_house hmmm
22:16 katsmeow-afk solding should be done as "don't touch the hot stuff", and "don't stab anyone with the hot stuff"
22:17 rue_house so far the range is from 5 to 12
22:17 rue_house I have to think about knives and heat before I get soemone started
22:17 katsmeow-afk 5 and sol;dering is iffy, 12 is fine if they can deal with fireworks and hotplates
22:17 rue_house I suppose stripping down printers is mechanical...
22:18 rue_house I wouldn't have anyone soldering at 5
22:18 katsmeow-afk how about those hobby rocket ignitors and small firecrackers, batteries, wire sizes, and pushbuttons?
22:18 katsmeow-afk put an led out there too
22:19 rue_house oh, I forgot about the bottlerockets
22:19 rue_house thats under mechanical
22:19 katsmeow-afk and getting hit on th e head from falling bottle rockest

22:21 katsmeow-afk the 2 guys have knees as far apart as will fit into the pic, the girl couldn't have her knees more closed if you used a hydraulic press on them
22:23 tsmeow-afk files it under /gender/knee spacing
22:25 katsmeow-afk can you imagine some human filing a knee position routine on his Ai , set up based on percieved gender or sex of the robot?
22:26 katsmeow-afk legs are designed to be parallel, not 2ft apart, and not crossed

22:27 katsmeow-afk i am afraid of being laughed at, so i play Solitaire a lot
22:28 rue_house you sholdn't be afraid, you should be prepping a reflected criticism
22:28 katsmeow-afk huh?
22:31 rue_house hum
22:47 katsmeow-afk so rig up two identical psu, showing you put the same volts into a led and an incandescent, to demo the differences
22:48 katsmeow-afk explain how deep in the dark ages humanity was before cheap blue leds were made (because before that there were no white leds)
22:49 katsmeow-afk demo with a 4-legged led
