10:02 AM JT-Shop: are they just introducing bug after bug?
10:04 AM Tom_L: seems they're not quite as careful as they used to be

10:33 AM Tom_L: i thought it was on the chopping block there for a bit
10:35 AM lcnc-relay: <roguish> JT-Shop: on my ride Wednesday, I was behind a nice Vette at a light.... I think it was a late 60's or early 70's. could sorta tell by the bumpers... very nice, black, good condition, a real rumbler.

10:59 AM bjorkintosh: you know what I don't understand (speaking of ancient cars)... '55 thunderbird carburetors.
10:59 AM bjorkintosh: why are they so crappy?
11:03 AM Tom_L: ai has an answer
11:04 AM Tom_L: their complexity, susceptibility to fouling, and the tendency for their rubber components to degrade over time

12:06 PM Unterhaus_ is now known as Unterhausen
12:06 PM Unterhausen: I guess web developers are using an adblocker detector that doesn't like privacy badger
12:06 PM Unterhausen: never thought that was an ad blocker, it's more of a malware blocker
12:50 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> we had an international dumptruck with a 400somethingCI engine.. holly 4 barrel. When we go the truck - it ran but used a crazy amount of fuel. Finally overhauled it and boy.. I think everything was plugged and the seals were all bad.
12:50 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> after the overhaul - it ran really nice.
12:52 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> I guess the 42 has been running nice after the rochester carb overhaul..
12:53 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> pump the accelerator once - starts right up
12:55 PM lcnc-relay: <skunkworks8841@> still needs a pedal.. driving it by pusing on the shaft sticking through the hole in the floor board..
01:17 PM infornography: is there a pendant that is pug and play with linux cnc?
01:24 PM JT-Shop: https://mesaus.com/product/7i73/
01:25 PM JT-Shop: that's about as plug and play you can get if you have a Mesa board with a Smart Serial port
