11:32 AM Jymmm: rue_bed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxKCPjcvbys
11:34 AM rue_bed: hmm
11:35 AM rue_bed: wonder why that ins't in my collection, tho its not all well put togethor
11:36 AM rue_bed: Jymmm, so I need to get baking soda and try melting it
11:37 AM Jymmm: rue_bed: you dont have any in the kitchen? it's only $0.50/box
11:37 AM rue_bed: no
11:37 AM rue_bed: I think it absorbed a lot of stink and I moved it along

05:32 PM rue_mohr: baking soda does NOT melt at 50c
05:33 PM rue_mohr: I idn't thik I was wrong
05:33 PM rue_mohr: Jymmm, no, it does not melt at 50c
07:49 PM Jymmm: rue_mohr: Yeah, wikipedia says the "melting point" of 122F/50c is the point it decomposes into sodium carbonate
08:05 PM Jymmm: rue_mohr: If I use salt which melts at 1400F, is getting "close to" the phase change state good enough (though performance being poor), or no?
09:23 PM rue_mohr: your better off with helium
09:23 PM rue_mohr: or just use parffin
09:30 PM Tom_L: i forgot how to make a .lib file in this language
09:31 PM Tom_L: been cleaning up cod
09:39 PM rue_mohr: dunno if thats the smae symbol
10:06 PM furrywolf: why is there so fucking little information online about textile production?
10:08 PM rue_shop1: cause nobody does it anymore
10:08 PM furrywolf: obviously people do it, since you're wearing clothes. I hope. :P
10:09 PM rue_shop1: yea, but not in north america
10:10 PM rue_shop1: nobody over here knows how to make clothes anymore
10:10 PM rue_shop1: all that was sent to china
10:11 PM furrywolf: the internet spans more than just north america.
10:17 PM Tom_L: it does?
10:18 PM Tom_L: it's all done in chinese sweat shops now days
10:27 PM rue_shop1: but china isn't online, their not allowed to be
10:27 PM rue_shop1: I dont think we ever had anyone from china visit us in a channel

10:30 PM Tom_L: for their magnetic phone cables
10:33 PM Tom_L: rue_mohr
10:33 PM Tom_L: do constants take up less space than local variables in a compiled program?
10:34 PM rue_shop1: they are typically used as litterals in the compilation, so, "no" memory
10:34 PM rue_shop1: C?
10:34 PM Tom_L: similar but no
10:34 PM Tom_L: clipper
10:35 PM Tom_L: i changed a bunch of string vars to constant
10:35 PM rue_shop1: whats clipper?
10:35 PM Tom_L: dbase like compiled exe
10:35 PM Tom_L: old
10:36 PM Tom_L: uses pascal calling conventions
10:36 PM Tom_L: you can mixe asm and c with it
10:39 PM Tom_L: it uses overlays so parts of the code don't load until used
11:04 PM Jymmm: I got Borland Pascal around here somewhere if you need it Tom_L
