07:19 AM rue_mohr: phrenology ?

04:09 PM aandrew: phrenology: you can determine the relative intelligence/capability of a person by studying the size of their brain/skull. was super popular in the mid/late 1800s, but has been *thoroughly* debunked
04:10 PM aandrew: youtube has started detecting adblockers... gives a popup and stops video, but reload seems to "fix" it
04:11 PM aandrew: hah never thought of a solder bot, I quite like soldering so I guess I never thought to automate it
04:13 PM aandrew: https://youtu.be/rfSAW3zDQ7M?t=1096 that is a neat idea there
04:15 PM aandrew: he's using way too much solder but that's tunable
04:16 PM aandrew: a manual flux application would fix a lot of his troubles
04:20 PM aandrew: that's a really neat little machine, excellently documented
05:09 PM polprog: ugh. the boiler is acting up again
05:10 PM polprog: leak from a joint between a copper pipe and hose
05:10 PM polprog: They made a pipe that is split and there is 3" of rubber hose in the middle, caught with clamps
05:11 PM polprog: why would you do that, except for modularity and component resue, but goddamnit, its a copper pipe interconnect
05:11 PM polprog: just make it a single part
05:11 PM polprog: pressure dropped a bit and the leaking stopped, ill have to redo the clamps or replace the hose. There is small bulging visible
06:44 PM rue_mohr: nope
06:44 PM rue_mohr: galvanic isolation
06:50 PM rue_mohr: cool
06:50 PM rue_mohr: with all my stuff it would just churn out cold solder joints like crazy
06:56 PM rue_mohr: I suspect the temp of his iron isn't right
06:57 PM rue_mohr: I also think he needs a force based thing
07:17 PM rue_mohr: huh
