17:26 Tom_itx frickin windy since yesterday
17:28 katsmeow-afk borrow Riff's windmill?
17:29 Tom_itx it may burn out in this wind
17:43 Tom_itx kat what does this little switch on my scope probe do?
21:16 rue_house it divides the input signal by 10
21:16 rue_house and the impedence doubles
21:16 rue_house soyou can get signals off things your not supposed to, liek the return side of a crystal oscillator
21:20 Tom_itx rue_house did you get your dx order worked out?
21:21 Tom_itx how do you know which mode is selected?
21:21 Tom_itx i've never bothered to use it
21:24 rue_house when you switch it the signal will go betwen x1 and /10
21:24 rue_house which they can x10, but I dont know why
21:25 rue_house the dx order wouldn't go thru
21:25 rue_house I'm waitning for them to reply to my email (haha)
21:25 Tom_itx well that kinda sucks
21:26 rue_house na, it kinda saves me from $!00 of toys I dont really need
21:26 Tom_itx aww sure you do
21:27 e_house crawls under a rock 'I dont need their stupid to
21:42 rue_house aster/me mumbles out from under the rock "anyone figure out the string puzzle yet?"
21:44 Tom_itx what puzzle?
21:46 rue_house "ZPTGMk munpf"
21:46 Tom_itx wtf is that?
21:47 rue_house well thats the puzzle aint it?
21:47 Tom_itx i dunno
22:28 rue_house I want something I can sit down and work on, and enjoy
22:28 rue_house I got toooo much junk rattling around in my head
22:29 rue_house 5 fire alarm systems and a supplier that cant tell one order from the next
22:34 katsmeow-afk <cough>
22:34 Tom_itx sort your marble collection
22:34 e_house gives kat a men
22:34 katsmeow-afk thanks, never had one before
22:35 tsmeow-afk eyes the coke bo
22:35 Tom_itx i wish i could read the date on this quarter
22:35 Tom_itx circulated between 1916 and 1930
22:35 Tom_itx date is long gone
22:35 rue_house is it possbale for a sentient being to understand how it works?
22:36 katsmeow-afk define "it"
22:36 rue_house its mind, that which makes the beind sentient
22:36 katsmeow-afk Tom, if you can read the embossing stresses left in the metals, the date will be easily readable
22:36 rue_house to understand the means of its own sentiance
22:37 rue_house Tom_itx, yea, like kat says, sip it in acid
22:37 katsmeow-afk for instance too, teh grain in the metal will be different where it was bent up
22:37 Tom_itx i think it's too far gone
22:37 rue_house oh damnit
22:37 katsmeow-afk it could be flat as a pancake, doesn't matter
22:37 rue_house oohhhhh
22:37 Tom_itx really?
22:37 rue_house I thought about work for a min and realized I screwed up
22:38 katsmeow-afk "metal stresses/grain" , not "metal presence"
22:38 rue_house I think acid does that
22:38 Tom_itx it's a standing liberty
22:38 Tom_itx none of these are worth much, just stuff i
22:38 Tom_itx ve found
22:38 katsmeow-afk i dunno nuministics valuations of worn out coins
22:38 Tom_itx http://coins.ha.com/ref/beginners-price-guide.zx?denomination=Quarter%20#List
22:39 rue_house there is a mind set problem I have here
22:39 Tom_itx i got a canadian nickel
22:39 tsmeow-afk looks sad a
22:39 Tom_itx and a steel penny
22:39 Tom_itx a few mercury dimes
22:40 katsmeow-afk i had pennies for every mint and year from 1970's back past 1890 at one point, and someone spent them all to buy a McDonalds hamburger
22:40 Tom_itx i don't collect them per se
22:41 Tom_itx just stuff i came across
22:41 katsmeow-afk me too, i found them all in change
22:41 Tom_itx i did cash in a dollar when i was in grand caymen
22:42 Tom_itx http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/temp/misc/caymen_heads.jpg

22:42 rue_house i NEED A SIMPLE ENTERTAINING PROJECT
22:42 rue_house anda caps lock light
22:42 Tom_itx try cleaning the shop
22:43 katsmeow-afk note they misspelled it as "Cayman" on the coins
22:43 Tom_itx damn
22:43 Tom_itx heh
22:43 Tom_itx http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/temp/misc/caymen_tails.jpg
22:44 Tom_itx is that supposed to be the planets on those at the top right?
22:44 katsmeow-afk dunno
22:44 katsmeow-afk i kinda doubt it
22:45 Tom_itx i dunno either
22:48 katsmeow-afk i tried an experiment on my body this morning
22:48 Tom_itx the pennies are considerably smaller than ours
22:48 katsmeow-afk are they still copper?
22:48 Tom_itx not sure
22:48 Tom_itx they look copper
22:49 katsmeow-afk buy them there, sell them for scrap metal here, make money?
22:49 Tom_itx my dad used to bring home silver dollars as pay from his work
22:50 Tom_itx too bad i have none of them
22:51 katsmeow-afk imagine a guy bringing in rolls of silver quarters to buy gasoline, at face value, when each quarter was worth $25 each at the time,, i saw it
22:51 katsmeow-afk i have no clue how "worth" works
22:51 Tom_itx me either
22:52 katsmeow-afk each $10 roll had $1000 of silver coin in it, he got $10 of gas
22:52 Tom_itx no he didnt
22:52 Tom_itx the gas was an inflated price probably
22:53 katsmeow-afk i think it was $1.50 , early 1980's?
22:53 Tom_itx could be
22:53 Tom_itx i can remember alot lower than that
22:54 Tom_itx what's the lowest you can recall?
22:54 katsmeow-afk ell, he pumped till he had $10 showing, and was happy handing over $1000 rolls of coin for it
22:54 katsmeow-afk in the 80's? it was a blur to me
22:54 Tom_itx i think during a 'gas war' i recall seeing .19
22:54 Tom_itx and for sure i remember .25
22:54 katsmeow-afk in the 1980's???
22:54 Tom_itx no
22:54 katsmeow-afk it went over $1 in the late 1970;s !
22:54 Tom_itx just what i can recall
22:55 Tom_itx yeah
22:55 katsmeow-afk in the 60's it was common to see .25/gal, in price wars less than .20, yeas
22:55 katsmeow-afk specially in Tx, prices got stupid
22:56 katsmeow-afk course that was before "minimum wage" too, so getting paid .25/hr was also common
22:57 tsmeow-afk remembers getting a wage increase to 50 cents/hour in the early 19
22:58 m_itx wanders off to s
