00:16 katsmeow the lil fan i put into the peak of the east roof seems to work well , the upstairs is currently cooler than it has been in 2 months
00:19 katsmeow it's installed, but the rain shield on the outside isn't
00:19 katsmeow i have 3 more to install
00:20 katsmeow will need the air intake asap
00:20 katsmeow there's only so much can be pushed out by fan without incoming to replace it
00:29 tsmeow hasto leave this puter on overnite, it's mi
00:40 katsmeow The Iceotope system uses just 80 watts of power to harvest the heat from up to 20 kilowatts of ICT use. The server also does away with the need for ancillary data centre facilities such as computer room air conditioning (CRAC) units, humidity control systems and air purification.
00:40 katsmeow ....because....
00:40 katsmeow a simple low energy pump, located at the bottom of the cabinet, pumps a secondary coolant (water) to the top where it cascades down throughout all 48 modules due to gravity.
00:41 katsmeow they open all the case, remove all the fan, and put a showerhead in the cabinet at the top and hose the puters down
00:42 katsmeow The world's data centres use 31 gigawatts of power, more than seven times the capacity of UK's largest coal-fired power station, Drax in North Yorkshire.
00:51 rue_shop3 I made a timing chain breaker
00:51 rue_shop3 just gonna try it
01:09 rue_shop3 ok that was a pita
01:09 rue_shop3 amazing how a few misalignments can compound
01:26 rue_shop3 well, getting the link pins back *IN* isn't so bad
01:55 rue_house oops I found an extra hand axis
01:56 rue_house the thumb is not 3 axis, its 4
07:16 katsmeow-afk no
07:19 katsmeow-afk rue, the ring i mentioned before, instead of the finger knuckles at the palm being fixed in a line, takes care of : the thumb cupping across the palm, the tumb bending across the palm, and the thumb on-axis rotation
07:20 katsmeow-afk you just slide it around to the otehr side of the ring
07:20 katsmeow-afk the beaurty of it is the lil finger can do likewise
07:21 katsmeow-afk the bad part is the hand cannot grip backwards- the hand functions with thepalm being a fixed area on one side of the hand

12:38 katsmeow-afk so eating bacon and eggs in the morning wasn't about the eggs or the bacon exactly, but those best hid the capsicum and it's Scoville units
12:39 katsmeow-afk hot stuff is/was the stimulant used before caffine became cheap and widely available
12:40 katsmeow-afk which is why you can now buy capsules of red peppers

19:07 katsmeow-afk the scientific community is welcoming this news with enthusiasm, at the same time, there is a growing concern, worry over the potential misuse of this technology. Drug dealers may soon be able to brew heroin as easily as home brewers now craft their own beer.

21:22 katsmeow-afk if no one takes it off his hands, he'll pull the knobs and transistors and drop it in thegrabage
21:22 katsmeow-afk garbage
21:23 katsmeow-afk it was one of thos state-of-the-art things in the 1970's and 80's and 90's, and it still works like the day it was born
21:23 Tom_itx hatched
21:23 Tom_itx ?

21:37 katsmeow-afk some pople like them as labor savers, some people like them (wink, wink), some hate them for being stupid, but the smarter they become them more they are hated
23:12 katsmeow-afk and the amperage to increase up to 45,000 amperes, the generated magnetic field controlling the plasma.
23:17 katsmeow-afk remember that having an open mind does not mean dumping your brains out through the opening.
23:43 rue_house hmm
23:43 rue_house 45kA
23:44 katsmeow-afk in a cable the size of "your wrist"

23:56 katsmeow-afk There is really no other reason to build a system like this...but it will certainly be a great attention getter when we display it prominently at our office! If you're in Seattle, feel free to stop by and check it out.
23:59 katsmeow-afk Overall, the biggest downside we have found is that the oil wicks down the cabling and makes a mess. Its amusing at first to find oil seeping out of your mouse, but gets annoying very quickly!
23:59 tsmeow-afk would not be really amused to find her mice peeing
23:59 katsmeow-afk it's not amusing if the car were to be peeing oil
