Back
[20:02:40] <rue_shop5> the one thing more frightening than knowing you will hurt yourself if you slip with a tool is the idea that you wont even feel it
[20:58:40] <katsmeow> good gnus: the telco reduced what i "owe" back down to what the bill is for
[21:03:50] <rue_shop5> ?
[21:04:01] <rue_shop5> I dont get it
[21:04:21] <rue_shop5> so, today I realized that the one thing more frightening than knowing you will hurt yourself if you slip with a tool is the idea that you wont even feel it
[21:04:34] <katsmeow> the bill they sent was $54.31 , when i called to pay it, they said it was 75.xx
[21:04:50] <rue_shop5> !?
[21:05:04] <katsmeow> i mentioned it yesterday
[21:05:14] <katsmeow> and the day before, iirc
[21:05:17] <rue_shop5> I didn't get that
[21:05:31] <rue_shop5> you seenmed to have said that the bill was higher than it was supposed to be
[21:05:43] * katsmeow shuts up before she says anything else rue won't hear
[21:05:50] <katsmeow> it was higher
[21:06:01] <katsmeow> WHEN I CALLED TO PAY IT
[21:06:17] <rue_shop5> my understanding wahs that the monthly rate went up and it wasn't suposed to
[21:06:18] <rue_shop5> k
[21:06:19] <katsmeow> the printed bill in the mail was correct,,,, a rip-off, but correct
[21:06:37] <katsmeow> it was, it did, it had, to $74.xx
[21:19:33] <rue_shop5> well I'm glad you won
[21:21:00] <katsmeow> me too, saved $240/yr on that
[21:36:02] <rue_shop5> I wonder how much 5 carrots are worth
[21:36:05] <rue_shop5> organic ones
[21:37:32] <Tom_itx> i'll trade you an apple for them
[21:37:57] <rue_shop5> no I need money
[21:38:35] <rue_shop5> wel, wait
[21:38:41] <rue_shop5> is it an organic apple?
[21:39:15] <rue_shop5> or a stupdi ipad
[21:41:12] <Tom_itx> the carrots are better for your failing eyesight than the apple would be
[21:43:23] <rue_shop5> i care more about the yard getting closer to its 10c/sq ft/year
[21:45:04] <katsmeow> cost or income?
[21:45:37] <rue_shop5> income
[21:45:55] <rue_shop5> if each square foot can make 10c/year, it'll offset lots of cost
[21:46:00] <katsmeow> 10 cents is hardly worth it, unless you have $10 solar-powered robots wrking it
[21:46:42] <rue_shop5> it is over a half acre
[21:46:55] <katsmeow> 50 ft x 100 ft is $500/yr, and a ton of work
[21:47:35] <katsmeow> you can make an extra $500 / yr if you make only $10 more per week
[21:47:39] <rue_shop5> 56x300
[21:48:14] <katsmeow> minus the house and shop and driveway and exixting garden and steep slope footprint
[21:48:43] <katsmeow> you will need to fence it all too
[21:48:52] <katsmeow> and irrigation
[22:06:08] <Tom_itx> cash crops?
[22:06:22] <rue_shop5> I'm sure that one square foot can make 10c in a year
[22:06:30] <rue_shop5> more even
[22:06:46] <Tom_itx> grow good weed and it would
[22:07:17] <katsmeow> marketting costs
[22:07:43] <katsmeow> or yoou sitting out at the end of the driveway, doing nothing, waiting on people to drop by to buy
[22:11:31] <rue_shop5> I'v learned that when everyone is laughing, you have a good idea
[22:12:32] <katsmeow> but if they are laughing, i trash whatever it is, and i am depressed for years
[22:12:56] <katsmeow> is this worth $30? ==>> http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Pavilion-dv6633us-15-4-120-GB-Intel-Pentium-Dual-Core-1-6-GHz-2-GB-Note-/152084874329
[22:13:18] <rue_shop5> if they laugh, you know they will never be doing it, do immediatly you have the market
[22:17:56] <katsmeow> ok, what if i said i can make a class AB power amp with a mosfet and a bipolar , and have no adjustment for idling current or crossover, but it automagically is correct?
[22:18:29] <katsmeow> then i put in all bipolars, and it's still clean?
[22:18:36] <katsmeow> then i put in all mosfets, and it's still clean?
[22:19:13] <katsmeow> if that circuit works, does it prove i am nuts and a stupid fool?
[22:20:25] <rue_shop5> if it works it proves your right
[22:32:18] <rue_shop5> I love it when a plan comes
[22:32:20] <rue_shop5> togethor
[22:32:52] <rue_shop5> :) the big robot arms fingers work
[22:33:04] <katsmeow> congrates!
[22:34:34] <rue_shop5> pics later gonna keep building
[22:36:23] <katsmeow> i decided to play solitare instead of building the amp
[22:36:40] <rue_shop5> you will be in the mood sooner or later
[22:36:48] <rue_shop5> or the idea will fly to another mind
[22:37:27] <katsmeow> it's wasting time in my mind, i am tired of being laughed at
[22:38:15] <rue_shop5> if there is one thing I'v learned its that your ideas work
[22:41:52] <katsmeow> http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/break-free-rallies-burnaby-squamish-1.3583000
[22:46:12] <rue_shop5> yea, same things happened on the other side of the border when they tried it over there
[23:19:06] <katsmeow> so the goal now is to make it just barely too expensive for the Chinese to get at the oil?
[23:25:09] <rue_shop5> nobody wants a freaking pipeline
