01:02 useless-afk RIYADH � Saudi Arabia is rejecting its seat on the U.N. Security Council and says the 15-member body is incapable of resolving world conflicts.
01:02 useless-afk The move came just hours after the kingdom was elected as one of the council�s 10 nonpermanent members.

01:05 theBear what kinda non-cripple can't do that, and i need one
01:05 theBear it's been oh so long since i lifted 15kgs any way
01:06 theBear actually, i really need one for my legs too

01:06 useless-afk lotta links there
01:07 useless-afk it's been in development a few yrs, was shown at the Japanese tech trade fair in Japan again this month
01:07 theBear indeed, i'll deal with them later, i need a lie down
01:07 theBear plus i don't talk to you with that name
01:08 useless-afk 15kg = 33lbs , that really isn't much unless you do have a disability, then it means you can lift groceries, or your child

01:15 useless-afk Shares Soared After German 3-D Printer�s I.P.O. Debut
01:15 useless-afk By ASSOCIATED PRESS
01:15 useless-afk Shares of Voxeljet more than doubled after the company, which makes 3-D printers, raised $84.5 million in its initial public offering.
03:12 rue_shop2 ok I mounted the avr to the robot
03:13 useless-afk you got too many robots for me to keep track of,,, which robot?
03:16 GargantuaSauce the "small" hexapod
03:29 GargantuaSauce >Saudi Arabia’s unexpected decision to reject joining the U.N. Security Council was “a symbolic gesture” to show the kingdom’s dissatisfaction with the council’s failure to act on the Syrian conflict, analysts said.
03:29 GargantuaSauce wow they must pay those analysts the big bucks
03:30 useless-afk i posted that in here hours ago
03:30 GargantuaSauce i know, i am commenting on the astute analysis
03:30 useless-afk ah
03:30 GargantuaSauce aka what is completely obvious to anyone
03:32 useless-afk with the "security" council it has, it's not much more than an expensive irc channel, really
03:34 GargantuaSauce a veto factory
03:37 useless-afk yeas
03:38 useless-afk name calling, people dedicated to not getting along, people buying their way thru, etc
03:38 useless-afk "we will call for a UN vote, and if we don't get our way, we'll just invade anyhow"
03:42 useless-afk Two types of mosquito known to carry dengue and yellow fever - tropical illnesses rarely seen in California - have been spotted around the state,, (while in other states they are checkered, plaid, or mono-colored)
03:56 useless-afk robot making a pretty road : http://i.imgur.com/KqoTo.jpg
04:06 useless-afk oh, nvm, what they don't show is there's humans placing the brick when it's being used
11:19 rue_house lots of little chinese ones?
11:22 rue_house that mahcine looks like it has a number of hangup issues,
11:23 rue_house instead of moving the work to a 45 degree angle, I'd recommend rotating the workers by 90
11:25 useless-afk the whole point was to not have the workers on their knees, because 1) when on their knees they have one hand dedicated to holding the ground away from their face so only half the human is being used, and 2) less back strain when standing
11:26 rue_house yea lay the workers flat over the work surface
11:26 useless-afk they may have a display unit up there they aren't showing (trade secret) which tells the humans where to place what shape brick how
11:27 rue_house and how to move the woodclamps and wedge blocks that set the machine up
11:27 rue_house and what to do when that 4th brick out catches on that transition edge and pushes the whole side out
11:28 useless-afk next step would be to install one of those pick-n-place robot hands that stacks food at blazing speeds
11:28 rue_house or what to do if the machine slides forward a bit and leaves a gap in the whole row
11:29 useless-afk gravity seems to be packing the bricks tight on that slope
11:29 theBear i laid a lotta paving in my time, i never needed a hand to keep my face off the ground
11:29 useless-afk there's a youtube video of it
11:29 rue_house as long as it dosn't move too far forward
11:29 theBear humans come with these handy counterweights called legs
11:29 rue_house oo
11:29 useless-afk but you can't use the legs well if all your weight is on the knees?
11:29 rue_house but you have to admit, being up on a working bench would make the job a bit nicer
11:29 useless-afk and you are holding bricks iin your paws
11:30 theBear you only need one knee to keep your whole body off the ground
11:30 rue_house knees only do that for a while, then they compain a lot
11:30 theBear specially when you got things like bricks as ballast
11:30 useless-afk while shuffling bricks? video or it didn't happen!
11:31 theBear i never had time to make stupid videos while paving, and i can barely lift a brick now, so you miss out
11:31 rue_house if the 90 degree person suspender slid back and forth, you could prolly do it with one person
11:31 rue_house one hard working australlian
11:31 rue_house :) its a futurama joke
11:31 theBear or a chinese, those guys know how to work hard
11:32 useless-afk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkVBg_-OviI
11:33 theBear i can't go that fast, but you don't need a 6 tonne truck to move me either
11:34 rue_house haha it only has one guy anyhow
11:34 useless-afk that't the thing, they can keep two or 3 guys loading the bobcats just to deliver the bricks fast enough
11:34 theBear that rendering machine aint slow, but you'd need to move it quick to beat a good human
11:35 SquirrelCZECH nah
11:36 SquirrelCZECH any interesting robot lately?
11:37 useless-afk looks like two people are doing about 20ft per minute
11:37 useless-afk 12ft wide
11:37 useless-afk even if they did 10ft per minute, that's still fast as hell compared to two guys on their knees
11:38 theBear i said the rendering machine, not the paving one
11:38 theBear and good luck getting that thing down the side of a house
11:38 useless-afk uhh, what?
11:38 theBear the paving machine
11:39 theBear the side of a house is the space between the outer wall and the boundary
11:39 theBear but not at the front or the rear
11:39 useless-afk what does it matter if it is the side?
11:41 theBear thats where paving is often needed, or needs to be transported in order to get where it is going
11:41 theBear paved roads ain't been popular anywhere i been since before last century
11:41 useless-afk so drive it downthe side of the house instead of the front
11:42 theBear probly asking too much for a useless person to understand a simple concept like this
11:42 useless-afk prolly is
11:43 useless-afk what's in front of the house? ground. What's behind the house? ground. what's on the side of the house? ground. so there's zero difefrence, drive it there
11:44 theBear hmm, ground inside too, but, but, somehow i can't get a car in my kitchen, i simply don't understand what the problem is !
11:44 GargantuaSauce what if i want it to do my roof?? fuck
11:45 useless-afk are you saying there's not enough room on the side of the house??
11:45 theBear i'm saying i don't talk to useless people
11:45 theBear they piss me off
11:45 GargantuaSauce it can't get any traction without the normal force imposed by gravity
11:45 GargantuaSauce given that the wall is vertical and thus the surface's normal is orthogonal to the direction of gravity
11:45 theBear GargantuaSauce, wow, no gravity on your roof ? do it by hand, way easier without gravity
11:46 dumbass there, not useless
11:46 dumbass are you saying there's not enough room on the side of the house??
11:46 theBear fuckoff, you inspire disgust, not pity
11:46 dumbass i feel disgusting, i not after pity
11:46 theBear and i got better things to do than explain to those that disgust me
11:47 dumbass which is why i feel like crap
11:47 dumbass you cannot talk to me like i am a normal human, so i choose a nick you feel i am most like
11:47 theBear and i'm fucking crippled, but i don't feel a need to remind people every single fucking time i talk, i'm tired of this shit
11:48 GargantuaSauce you are both terrible people and i hate you
11:48 GargantuaSauce are we cool or what
11:48 theBear i told you too many fucking times, you're just being self indulgent]
11:49 selfindulgent so call me kat, and tell me why you cannot have a brick drive on the side of a house, and not just in the front or rear
11:49 theBear nup
11:50 selfindulgent k
11:54 NotWorthCr4p ....
13:03 MrCurious i just realized.. my generation was promised talking omputers, and i do believe they delivered
13:07 GargantuaSauce my roflcopter goes soisoisoisoisoisoisoisoisoi
13:33 GargantuaSauce we have flying cars too but nobody gives a shit about htem
13:34 MrCurious my generation wasnt promised flying cars... that was the one 15 years before
13:34 MrCurious i was promised a distopian repressive government future
13:34 MrCurious and we are totally on track
13:35 GargantuaSauce aw yiss
13:36 MrCurious and kids younger than me were promised hover boards...
13:36 MrCurious how is that one coming
13:36 MrCurious suppose quad copters are a research path to tht, so may be on track
13:36 GargantuaSauce ya its a work in progress
13:37 MrCurious i think laser pistols were promised too, not ssure which generation
13:49 NotWorthCr4p .
13:50 NotWorthCr4p i think in 20 years no one will be speaking english in the usa, so any research done now won't be read
13:52 NotWorthCr4p i watched a whole tv show, no one said "to", they all said "ta", no one said "many", they all said "mini", no one wanted a lot of respect, they all wanted just a little, and then all the music was for sex
13:53 GargantuaSauce >tv
13:53 GargantuaSauce there's your problem
13:53 NotWorthCr4p and there's only one channel available since the conversion to digital, and today they are showing a constant run of 30 minute commercials
13:54 NotWorthCr4p same for tomorrow, unless there's more football
13:55 NotWorthCr4p and i useto contribute in this channel, till .........
13:55 tWorthCr4p s
13:55 MrCurious NotWorthCr4p: were you watchin the honey boo boo?
13:55 NotWorthCr4p hell no, that's sickening
13:55 MrCurious til someone joined and ruined it?
13:56 GargantuaSauce till someone's persecution complex turned into a self-fulfilling prophecy
13:56 NotWorthCr4p the honey booboo and those duck hunters are prolly used as films to train terrorists against the usa
13:57 NotWorthCr4p i dunno, every time bear talks to me he ends up throwing insults, calling me names, just before he leaves the channel
13:57 MrCurious i thought they existed so john q public could feel suerior to ... someone... anyone...
13:57 MrCurious superior
13:57 NotWorthCr4p and Gushg calls me names every time i disagree with him
13:58 NotWorthCr4p so what the heck, i go by the nicks they call me
13:58 MrCurious you need a rebranding!
13:58 MrCurious get a posh shiney new name sweetie, and play the game. just like being at work
13:59 MrCurious pick a nice girl name lilke Stephie... internet people respond well to that name, its been market tested..
13:59 MrCurious they will fall all over you
14:00 NotWorthCr4p yea,,, i am not into getting hit on
14:01 MrCurious well then pperhaps a middle of the road name like Dredpir8
14:01 MrCurious well DreadPir8
14:02 NotWorthCr4p so i need anick that's dripping with testosterone, or a scarey one?
14:02 NotWorthCr4p how about CrushedBalls ?
14:02 MrCurious how about PolyMorph
14:02 MrCurious middle of the road
14:03 MrCurious thats got potential to perpetuate the behaviors you dont desire...
14:03 NotWorthCr4p well, katsmeow got me to whre i am today, so i dunno
14:04 MrCurious how about trying truth in advertising... LookAtMe
14:04 NotWorthCr4p i'm just trying to get along, but nothing works, not even using as nicks exactly what they call me
14:05 MrCurious well those are cearly inflamitory
14:05 MrCurious you have to be better than the trolls... you know this.
14:05 NotWorthCr4p i have asked bear to call me kat 4 times since he's got his panties in a wad, he useto call me kat, but now he refuses, that's got to tell you something
14:07 MrCurious you appear to be fascinated with thebear and gushh
14:07 NotWorthCr4p they talk the most in here
14:07 MrCurious havev you considered a vacation to spend ome bonding time with them??
14:07 NotWorthCr4p and no one else contradicts them, not when they call me names, or when they are plain wrong about something
14:07 MrCurious i am sure gushh would love to hang out and show you the local sites of argentina
14:08 NotWorthCr4p they are on difefrent continents
14:08 MrCurious thats whats briliant about it
14:09 MrCurious perhaps invite them to visit you for a week or weekend
14:09 NotWorthCr4p yea, i got enough trouble here without them
14:09 MrCurious well sweetie, it will get better
14:09 NotWorthCr4p an District Attorney who will put me in jail if i use the shower in my house, etc
14:09 MrCurious there, you got called a name... you know what to do
14:10 NotWorthCr4p no, "sweety" attracts pervs
14:10 MrCurious would CowBell be better?
14:10 NotWorthCr4p or at the least, hngs
14:10 NotWorthCr4p what's wrong with katsmeow?
14:10 MrCurious uhm, you are spelling it wrong
14:10 GargantuaSauce do you really think those usernames are an attempt to "get along"
14:11 MrCurious cummon kat, get your shit together, put on a happy face, and make lemonaid!
14:11 MrCurious life is too short
14:11 NotWorthCr4p GargantuaSauce, they are what i am called
14:11 GargantuaSauce that's not what I asked
14:11 NotWorthCr4p [11:33] <theBear> i told you too many fucking times, you're just being self indulgent]
14:11 NotWorthCr4p [11:33] *** dumbass is now known as selfindulgent
14:11 MrCurious and i do believe you have been having a plesantih conversation for the past 10 mminutes
14:11 NotWorthCr4p [11:34] <selfindulgent> so call me kat,..........
14:11 NotWorthCr4p [11:34] <theBear> nup
14:12 GargantuaSauce answer my question
14:12 MrCurious i think you hsould tool on over to the Y, treat yourself to a 30 minute shower and soak, then set out on a new project
14:12 NotWorthCr4p yes
14:12 GargantuaSauce the way i see it, naming yourself like that is equivalent to taking a big bite out of the shit sandwich you're being handed and staring him in the eyes as you savour it
14:12 GargantuaSauce it's not exactly going to deter that behaviour
14:13 NotWorthCr4p that's wierd, GargantuaSauce
14:13 MrCurious i think once you have bitten into the shit sandwich, nobody is going to want to kiss you
14:13 MrCurious donnt bite the shit sandwich...
14:13 NotWorthCr4p it's too late for avoidance, the deed's been done
14:14 MrCurious we used to say that in college after we ..
14:14 katsmeow by midnite, gushh or bear will have me change the nick back to what they prefer
14:14 MrCurious could have done without that flashback
14:14 GargantuaSauce they don't "have you do" anything
14:14 GargantuaSauce you are in charge of your own behaviour
14:15 MrCurious be the master of your own destiny
14:15 GargantuaSauce if thebear is being a dick you can choose to ignore that or him
14:15 katsmeow yeas, my behavior, but one is known by the nicks one is called
14:15 GargantuaSauce or sass back
14:15 MrCurious perhaps i can introduce you to the /ignore command... it has gotten me out of many a pinch
14:15 MrCurious i think people here tend to play rough
14:15 katsmeow yeas, i have gushh on ignore, often, but i had respect for bear once upon a time
14:16 GargantuaSauce most people here are fucked in the head
14:16 MrCurious and if you dont play rough back, it means they are just mean people, so by not being the monster, you MAKE the monster..
14:16 theBear and i had respect for you once, but i got tired of asking you to stop changing your name
14:16 MrCurious yeah, all a bunch of tinkererss with god complexes wanting to create life
14:16 katsmeow wait, i am making them be a monster?
14:16 GargantuaSauce it is a mutual thing
14:16 theBear now you just change your name and quote shit
14:16 GargantuaSauce there is positive feedback going on
14:16 MrCurious a positive exchange from the bear
14:16 MrCurious nowreward him
14:17 MrCurious not exactly what i had in mind
14:17 respectless [13:58] *** NotWorthCr4p is now known as katsmeow
14:17 respectless [13:59] <katsmeow> by midnite, gushh or bear will have me change the nick back to what they prefer
14:17 MrCurious at least you didnt call her a$$potato...
14:17 respectless [14:01] *** katsmeow is now known as respectless
14:17 respectless a whole freaking 2 minutes
14:18 GargantuaSauce would you just cut that shit out
14:18 MrCurious i want to create a new political party...
14:18 theBear GargantuaSauce, ask all you want, eventually it'll wear you out too
14:18 MrCurious the Saussage Party
14:18 MrCurious we will rival the T party in antics
14:19 theBear no helping those who refuse to be helped (watch, it's gonna happen again now)
14:19 spectless sighs and sadly puts bear on ignore so she can use a nick he doesn't
14:19 MrCurious ok, i cant take it any more, splain this shower thing... i keep hearing it and it does not compute
14:19 GargantuaSauce i dont give two shits about helping, i just want functional conversation
14:19 theBear notice just now is the first time i EVER said anything negative when you wore your real name, EVER, but i don't care anymore
14:20 MrCurious cue phill collins inthe background
14:20 MrCurious no mo no mo
14:20 respectless MrCurious, neighbor sic'd his two rotts on me,a nd blamed me for it because i had a fan on, which he didn't know till later
14:20 respectless the DA's office bought it, hook, line, sinker
14:20 MrCurious so its about a shower fan
14:21 MrCurious get a lawyer ,dont take it
14:21 respectless so now, no matter what, i cannot runthe vent fan in thebathroom, or a window fan in the kitchen, even tho they are 200ft from the neighbor, and facing the other way, and the otehr side of the house
14:21 respectless i had a lawyer, and asked others, no one will go up against this DA lawyer
14:22 MrCurious pperhaps the da lawyer can reccomend a moisture venting solution
14:22 MrCurious perhaps its time to write a letter to jenny most of cnn
14:22 respectless even tho, i can run two window a/c units which have fan on that side of the house, and runt he roof vent fan which is even louder, and run a fan in the driveway in summer when i am out there
14:23 MrCurious damnit, you are smart enough to work out the game, and fix/win it. why do you choose to not play and win
14:23 respectless i am all out of asking anyone for help, no one will
14:23 MrCurious (note a compliment in that pile)
14:24 respectless they believe since i have trouble walking, i must not be capable of determining i need a shower, or using said fan, and they don't want legal troubles with the DA's office
14:24 theBear MrCurious, instead the nick just gets changed, after a year or two of it i'm tired, it's self indulgent bullshit
14:25 MrCurious file a barking complaint about the dogs
14:25 MrCurious or a safety complaint due to the attack
14:25 katsmeow you do not complain about dogs here, they are like gods
14:25 MrCurious then there is also civil court to seek remedy for teh viscious attack
14:25 MrCurious sounds like a great time to let anti-freeze pool under your car
14:25 katsmeow ANY word against a dog, or not wanting to own one, means you are sick and hate dogs, and should be in a institution
14:26 MrCurious so get a bigger MEANER dog
14:26 MrCurious or your own dog wolf pack
14:26 katsmeow i am not into staging dog fights
14:26 MrCurious play the game to win
14:27 katsmeow it's nuts here, it really is
14:27 MrCurious there is another option
14:27 MrCurious move...
14:27 MrCurious find different dildoes to live next to
14:27 katsmeow i was even told in court by this lawyer that if i did not like getting dogbit, she'd be happy to put me away
14:28 katsmeow yeas, have you priced realestate lately?
14:28 katsmeow i tried moving to Fla ,,, 2 yrs ago now
14:28 katsmeow i lost my ass
14:28 MrCurious there is always renting
14:29 katsmeow i got half moved down there, the owner decided he wasn't going to sign the title over till it was all paid for
14:29 katsmeow i have no income to qualify for renting, and i have owned my own place for 25 years, i have no history of being a good tenant, plus i need wchair access
14:30 katsmeow and when i tried to sell this place, the asshole next door threatened the real estate agent
14:30 katsmeow the agent backed out
14:31 MrCurious unlawful imprisonment .. call teh feds?
14:31 katsmeow it's not a federal offence for a DA's office to harrass someone
14:32 katsmeow and when i contacted the state at higher levels, they said there is no control over local offices
14:35 MrCurious how bout dem robots
14:35 katsmeow yeas, how about those?
14:36 MrCurious think its a good time to remove a camera from a broke monitor
14:36 katsmeow i think i'll go work on clearing stuff out for the scrap yard, and working on the boat, and such things
14:47 MrCurious camera salvaged
14:47 MrCurious 27" monitor sacrificed
14:49 GargantuaSauce ive got a 42" one here that my roommate's father gave away because the backlight drivers died
14:50 GargantuaSauce $2 in new capacitors on the way...
14:50 GargantuaSauce (with $300 in vestigial components attached because i am like a kid in a candy store on mouser)
14:51 MrCurious that hapens
14:51 MrCurious i remember when you ordered it
14:51 MrCurious thought it was only 200 ish
14:51 MrCurious did you take someones adice and double down? :)
14:51 GargantuaSauce yeaah....it grew a bit more
14:51 GargantuaSauce i got pretty much everything i need to break into some homebrew pcba
14:52 GargantuaSauce and a couple future projects
14:52 GargantuaSauce and a couple projects that will probably never happen but, you know...
14:52 GargantuaSauce i managed to resist the urge to get hv caps and diodes and build a big cockroft walton multiplier just for the fuck of it
14:52 GargantuaSauce that'll be in the next order 8)
14:54 MrCurious shelf stockers!
14:54 GargantuaSauce exactly
14:55 GargantuaSauce 1k smd resistors in half a dozen values, all the bypass caps i'll ever need, etc
14:56 MrCurious yeah, you did need that
14:58 GargantuaSauce everything i need to finish my retarded OISC, and if i'm really masochistic an analog synthesizer of some sort
15:00 GargantuaSauce what do you think of this nvidia gsync business? i am a bit suspicious
15:02 MrCurious news to me
15:03 MrCurious i have intel hd4000 and it works well enough
15:16 MrCurious something wonderful about a sweey swiss cheese wedge and saltine crackers
15:17 MrCurious sweet
15:25 theBear analog synths aren't massochistic, they're easy to build
15:44 MrCurious this show strip the city is pretty good.
15:56 MrCurious anyone know about CPLD? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Altera-EPM570-USB-CPLD-Development-System-for-the-Arduino-/111193932865?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276
15:57 theBear i know anything with arduino in the name should be avoided in an attempt to stop this craziness
15:57 MrCurious STOP THE INSANITY!
15:58 MrCurious careful.... something will put arduino in its name...
15:58 theBear lol, and hopefully something wasn't lying about putting me on ignore, but i really don't care anymore
15:58 theBear fucking childish nonsense
16:05 MrCurious theBear: PM?
