00:04 katsmeow i have 2 dead crt tvs, one is a huge color one, prolly under 100 hrs on it, i think the degausing relay that pulls in on start, is fried
00:04 Jax184 I figure it won't be hard to break the vacuum, but what will cut through leaded glass nicely?
00:08 katsmeow dremel with an abrasive disc?
00:10 Jax184 Tim Hunkin's masterpiece The Secret Life of Machines has a cut open CRT in one episode

00:11 Jax184 the question is how he did it...
00:11 katsmeow my bandwidth is all stopped up, so i won't see it till tomorrow
00:14 Jax184 your tubes are clogged?
00:15 katsmeow remember i asked about pausing a dl when i came in? will so i had to kill it, and it restarted from the begining instead of resuming
00:16 Jax184 damn
00:16 Jax184 it's 2015, I remember installing a download manager to obtain that functionality in 1999...
00:16 Jax184 or was it 2000
00:16 katsmeow they'll all be done by morning, i expect
00:17 katsmeow i used an addon to Ff to dl music from youtube, the tubes are normally bad enough i can't stream music anyhow, so i dl it and listen to it the next day
00:23 rue_school its not hard to break the vacuum, between the pins there is the small glass tube they evacuated it with
00:23 rue_school its fragile

00:41 katsmeow funny, it just dawned on me ,
00:41 katsmeow being comfortable around animals, and them being comfortable around me, triggered a breakup, because it's too wierd
00:42 katsmeow we were just sitting in the woods, i had 40 acres at the time, talking, and a doe with two fawns walked by,
00:42 katsmeow the doe was trying to see if we would spook, and was alarmed, *after * she had gotten to within 20ft of us,
00:43 katsmeow the fawns didn't even notice, they kept on munching the grass,
00:43 katsmeow the doe went back to eating
00:43 katsmeow they wandered off, munching as they went
00:44 katsmeow but things were difefrent after that

00:49 katsmeow i had to put up fence ebcause of the neighbor's dogs
00:50 katsmeow the deer still show up on the other property, other side from the dogs, i catch glimpses of them sometimes, 30ft or so away from the fence
00:51 katsmeow she trotted out the kits once with me in the driveway, at night, those things are like all mouth
00:51 katsmeow one was about to run into my ankle, i used the flashlte to steer him away
00:52 katsmeow he growled, i got onto the car, they resumed wandering around
00:53 katsmeow thre was a huge owl useto sit outside the bay window and watch me eat breakfast
00:57 katsmeow "why do they call themselves depeche mode?" "because that is the style of music they do" "so they cannot spell 'depressed' right?"
01:06 katsmeow "blah blah blah" "that's an oxymoron" "you think i am a moron, eh?" "no! what you said is a oxymoron" "i saw moronic stuff? yo want a fist?" "no, never mind, sorry, please continue"
01:07 katsmeow "blh blah blah" "that's a non sequiteur" "what's that? and why are you changing the subject?" "no, you did" "i did what?" "change the subject" "i wasn't talking about seqiturs!" "no, what,, oh hell, never mind"
01:10 Jax184 speaking of non sequiteur
