06:28 aemquo What is the cheapest oscilloscope that one can get without compromising on quality?
06:39 GargantuaSauce you can probably find a reasonable analog one on ebay for <$100
06:40 GargantuaSauce for a digital one, don't bother with anything with a sample rate less than 1GS/s or so
06:41 GargantuaSauce those cheap handheld or usb ones are basically toys
06:42 aemquo Ah, ok
07:31 aemquo What's everyone working on?
07:34 robotustra yes
07:35 robotustra on themself
07:36 sherlock aemquo: anxiety, self doubt, and I tend to take too long in the shower, what are you working on?
07:36 sherlock aemquo: or did you mean in terms of robotics
07:36 aemquo Reading "Digital Fundamentals"
07:36 aemquo I mean in terms of education/work/etc
07:36 sherlock Just graduated
07:37 sherlock well, technically I graduate on the 6th
07:37 sherlock transitioning into work, web development
07:37 aemquo Sounds good
07:38 robotustra all people wants to do simple things like web developement
07:38 robotustra nobody wants to do hardcore developement
07:38 aemquo robotustra, What are you working on?
07:38 sherlock robotustra: Its server side stuff mostly, full stack
07:39 sherlock scalable, not just mom and pop web development
07:39 robotustra robot
07:40 robotustra even server side of development is not so complex
07:40 robotustra with comparison to real robotics applications
07:40 robotustra I do robots
07:40 aemquo What type of robots?
07:40 robotustra go to youtube, search "robotustra" and look ar my video
07:41 robotustra you will have idea of what I'm working on
07:41 aemquo What language are your videos in?
07:41 sherlock robotustra: You do metal work too?
07:42 robotustra нуы
07:42 robotustra yes
07:42 robotustra стс ьшддштп
07:42 aemquo Russian?
07:42 robotustra cnc milling
07:42 robotustra yes
07:43 robotustra byelorussian in canada
07:43 aemquo bylorussian?
07:43 aemquo byelorussian?
07:43 robotustra google map Belarus
07:44 robotustra after google map Montreal
07:44 GuShH_ aemquo: he's a pseudo russian
07:44 aemquo hah
07:44 robotustra like you pseudo hispanic
07:44 GuShH_ nope
07:44 robotustra jewish?
07:45 GuShH_ Italian
07:45 GuShH_ robotustra: cosa nostra
07:45 robotustra but you speak spanish?
07:45 robotustra and english
07:45 GuShH_ I understand quite a few languages, doesn't mean anything.
07:45 aemquo GuShH_, translate pls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JhuOicPFZY
07:45 GuShH_ aemquo: lol
07:46 GuShH_ Seen it, hilarious.
07:46 robotustra so, I'm byelorussian who speak russian, english, french and some byelorussian native language
07:46 ShH_ r
07:46 GuShH_ aemquo: You've got to be quite an idiot to get annoyed at Family Guy, I don't get it when someone gets upset over it
07:47 robotustra byelorussian russian - is an extension with comparison to pure russian
07:47 GuShH_ robotustra: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hSmpHgzJLE
07:47 aemquo I'm not annoyed at FG :o
07:47 GuShH_ aemquo: some people get annoyed at just about anything, that's what I'm saying
07:47 robotustra GuShH_: I can't watch youtube at work
07:47 aemquo Ah, ok
07:47 robotustra blocked
07:47 GuShH_ robotustra: you suck
07:47 robotustra no, you suck
07:48 robotustra if I'll start to watch youtube at work - it will be not wokr any more
07:48 GuShH_ SUCK
07:49 aemquo GuShH_, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3ZynG796Cs
07:49 robotustra good luck
07:52 aemquo robotustra, What do you do for work?
07:53 GuShH_ aemquo: "gasoline powered hat" lol
07:53 aemquo ( ._.) wat.
07:54 robotustra embedded programing
07:54 GuShH_ aemquo: he's an arduino fitter.
07:54 aemquo Ah ok
07:58 robotustra GuShH_: are you kidding me?
07:58 robotustra aemquo: don't trust mafia
07:58 GuShH_ aemquo: he's all over arduinos, he even sleeps with one on the pillow
07:58 aemquo hah
07:59 robotustra under the pillow
07:59 GuShH_ no that's where you keep your dildo.
07:59 aemquo hah
07:59 GuShH_ boom.
07:59 ShH_ hands robotustra a co
07:59 robotustra robodildo
07:59 GuShH_ there's a project for ya
08:00 GargantuaSauce funny you mention that
08:00 GargantuaSauce every time i've mentioned my robotics stuff in social circles the conversation has transitioned to teledildonics
08:00 robotustra italians think that they hot enough to joke about sex with unknown persons
08:00 GargantuaSauce it's kind of annoying
08:00 GuShH_ robotustra: parsing error
08:01 GuShH_ robotustra: plus you are not a person, you are most likely an undercover alien.
08:01 robotustra GargantuaSauce: of cause the topic about sex is so annoying for nerds like us
08:01 GuShH_ yes, the unknown scares you.
08:02 aemquo hah
08:02 robotustra GuShH_ should be isolated from this chat to cool his dildos down
08:02 GuShH_ That made no sense whatsoever.
08:03 robotustra for you - no, for us - yes
08:03 aemquo GuShH_, he said you have some overheating dildos that you need to cool down.
08:04 GuShH_ robotustra: code faster or else you'll meet with mr whip.
08:04 robotustra instead of speaking of pure robotics you are speaking about sex
08:04 GuShH_ You are.
08:04 GuShH_ And there's no such thing as "pure robotics"
08:04 aemquo Why not combine them? Talk about pure robotic sex?
08:04 aemquo Whatever that means
08:05 robotustra It's a peversion to poke alive human with a dick...
08:05 GargantuaSauce anyway here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vBi6LNklRg is one of my projects unrelated to cocks
08:05 GuShH_ wat
08:05 GuShH_ so you think poking the dead ones isn't
08:05 ShH_ hifives ae
08:05 aemquo hah
08:05 robotustra :-\
08:06 robotustra it's an anecdote about necro
08:06 aemquo GargantuaSauce, Nice
08:06 robotustra a robo cocrouch?
08:07 GuShH_ tap dancing robot!
08:07 GargantuaSauce cockroach
08:07 aemquo GargantuaSauce, I am hoping to make something similar
08:08 robotustra six a pede
08:08 robotustra sex o pede
08:08 aemquo robotustra, Make a centipede robot.
08:08 GuShH_ we should tie them mouth to ass
08:09 aemquo By show of hands, who thinks centipedes look disgusting?
08:09 aemquo o/
08:09 robotustra aemquo: I do biped
08:09 robotustra humanoid like
08:09 GuShH_ boring, just have a kid and you're done.
08:09 aemquo hah
08:09 GuShH_ fastest project of your life, robotustra... about 12 seconds
08:10 GargantuaSauce pretty long lead time though
08:10 GargantuaSauce and high maintenance costs
08:10 robotustra sure
08:10 robotustra times 2
08:11 robotustra and feed them all the rest of the life
08:11 robotustra so it's not so short term project
08:11 GuShH_ hah
08:12 aemquo robotustra, how old are you?
08:12 GuShH_ hes between 30 and 40.
08:12 GuShH_ 37 was my last guess
08:12 robotustra this year will be 40
08:12 GuShH_ ah so he's a lot more messed up than we thought.
08:12 aemquo hah
08:12 GuShH_ aemquo: I'm 2.
08:13 robotustra why I'm messed up? I'm well organized person
08:13 GuShH_ Heh
08:13 GuShH_ I'm not.
08:13 GuShH_ Well only partially.
08:13 GuShH_ I may have some things very organized ... and others very messy.
08:14 robotustra GuShH_: do you have wife?
08:15 GuShH_ robotustra: good one.
08:15 aemquo He has many wives.
08:15 aemquo He is a mormon
08:15 GuShH_ No that would be suicide.
08:15 GuShH_ No wife no couple.
08:15 GuShH_ I couldn't afford one!
08:15 robotustra GuShH_: and your wife didn't organize you yet?
08:15 GuShH_ I'm not married.
08:15 GuShH_ You seriously think someone would marry me?
08:16 aemquo GuShH_, have a picture of yourself?
08:16 robotustra I don't know
08:16 GuShH_ aemquo: Nah it's not a physical problem
08:16 robotustra there is a shortage of woman in the world, probably there is no woman for you
08:16 GuShH_ hahaha
08:17 GuShH_ Is that why you married a man wearing a wig?
08:17 aemquo hah
08:17 robotustra man can't deliver babies
08:17 GuShH_ depends, FedEx may not.
08:17 robotustra so your joke is not relevant
08:18 GuShH_ You could adopt.
08:18 aemquo robotustra, http://abcnews.go.com/Health/story?id=5302756&page=1
08:18 robotustra DELIVER
08:18 GuShH_ UPS
08:18 GuShH_ aemquo: wat
08:18 aemquo ;)
08:18 GuShH_ aemquo: originally a woman
08:18 GuShH_ not really a man
08:18 GuShH_ despite what her messed up mind may think
08:18 aemquo Right, but the joke holds.
08:18 robotustra so, I go to robot programming
08:19 robotustra see you later
08:19 GuShH_ society these days...
08:19 GuShH_ bai
08:21 ShH_ wonders why people buy Bajaj motorcy
08:21 aemquo tf is a Bajaj?
08:22 GuShH_ exactly.
08:22 GuShH_ some indian brand
08:22 aemquo I would only stick with known brands for a machine that can kill me.
08:22 GuShH_ yamaha honda or suzuki for me...
08:22 GuShH_ in no particular order. I didn't mention kawasaki because of a local issue with spare parts
08:22 GuShH_ (ie lack thereof)
08:22 aemquo Do you own a motorcycle?
08:23 GuShH_ technically
08:23 GuShH_ looking for a commuter...
08:23 GuShH_ fz16 or such
08:23 GuShH_ but my lawnmower has a bigger engine than that bike.
08:24 aemquo oic
08:24 GuShH_ wait, noooo... they're made in INDIA now?
08:24 GuShH_ Yamaha?
08:24 ShH_ p
08:24 GuShH_ we're going to be taken over and ruled by indian chinese people.
08:25 aemquo hah
08:25 GuShH_ chindians to be precise.
08:26 GuShH_ aemquo: check out the bajaj pulsar 200ns.... they copied the duke from ktm
08:27 aemquo ic
08:27 GuShH_ you are not much into bikes it seems heh
08:28 GuShH_ I like the ninja 300 but the insurance is way high for those
08:28 GuShH_ anything bigger just doesn't work out in the city
08:28 robotustra potential organ donor
08:28 GuShH_ robotustra: suck it
08:29 aemquo I'm not much of a vehicle fan. I appreciate the products/etc
08:29 GuShH_ keep driving your gay ass prius.
08:29 robotustra I don't have prius
08:29 aemquo But I certainly don't have vehicle magazine subscriptions
08:29 GuShH_ me neither
08:32 GuShH_ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRtWJdVgKb8
08:32 GuShH_ haha
08:32 GuShH_ alright those "bikers" are idiots to begin with
08:33 aemquo Ever checked out liveleak?
08:33 GuShH_ that's one fat mother fucker
08:34 aemquo Who?
08:34 GuShH_ on that video
08:34 GuShH_ 300KG guy on a sports bike...
08:34 GuShH_ does not compute.
08:34 mumptai poor bike
08:34 aemquo hah
08:40 mumptai ...probably would be a good idea to bundle their drivers licences with organ donor registrations
08:41 GuShH_ I agree with one of the comments
08:41 GuShH_ it's only a matter of time until someone hops off the car with a hand cannon and blows their heads off.
08:41 GuShH_ mumptai: there are more car accidents in my country than there are bike accidents.... explain? oh yes a numbers game, more cars than bikes.
08:42 GuShH_ you then have bad luck or lack of experience / stupidity which can contribute to an accident, driving ANYTHING.
08:42 GuShH_ or just taking a shower.
08:42 GuShH_ you might slip and break your neck.
08:42 mumptai yeah, but bikers are usually younger and die sooner in traffic
08:42 GuShH_ bikers like the ones on that video should die.
08:42 GuShH_ the sooner the better
08:44 GargantuaSauce we actually do that here mumptai
08:44 GargantuaSauce my drivers license says i am an organ donor
08:44 mumptai they have a fair chance of not dieing from old age
08:44 GuShH_ at least they'll die doing what they like
08:44 GuShH_ instead of reaching 90 and having spent their life afraid of doing anything.
08:46 GuShH_ similar deal with guns, they are not dangerous...
08:46 GuShH_ idiots with guns are dangerous, the guns themselves are not.
08:46 mumptai well
08:47 GuShH_ public transport is also dangerous, at least in most parts of the world it is.
08:47 mumptai same for thermo nuclear devices
08:48 GuShH_ there's always a chance of lightning striking your ass as well, so don't go out, ever.
08:50 GuShH_ I wonder how many of these I can make before getting 100% frustrated with 3d printers http://gushh.net/tmp/dscn4863f.jpg
08:50 GuShH_ I also question why I didn't move the grub screws to the sides
08:52 GargantuaSauce so are you actually building a reprap
08:52 GargantuaSauce or just hawking parts
08:52 GuShH_ hawking?
08:53 GuShH_ The only hawking I know is Stephen.
08:53 GargantuaSauce i guess that's a colloquialism. selling.
08:53 GuShH_ GargantuaSauce: both building one and making spares to sell so the project pays for itself, hopefully
08:53 GargantuaSauce which design?
08:54 GuShH_ probably the i3
08:54 GargantuaSauce cool
08:54 GuShH_ but undefined, just working on the generics.
08:54 GuShH_ about a few hours a week....
08:54 GargantuaSauce as long as it's a rigid frame and not a wobbly-ass mendel
08:55 GuShH_ some local guy does laser cut i3 frames, pretty cheap.
08:55 GuShH_ they are however plywood
08:55 GuShH_ Do you know if the i3 has been used with a milling / routing head?
08:55 GargantuaSauce well have fun realigning things when the humidity changes then :V
08:56 GuShH_ hey I almost got banned on #reprap not long ago for saying MDF was less than ideal
08:56 GuShH_ plywood at least is more rigid.
08:56 GargantuaSauce i don't think milling on one is a good idea
08:57 GargantuaSauce the axes aren't protected from offcuts for one
08:57 GuShH_ they're not protected from plastic spaghetti either
08:57 GargantuaSauce and they probably aren't rigid enough to deal with the stress/vibrations of a cutter head in any case
08:57 GuShH_ I might just scrap the idea of the reprap depending on whether I can source the parts for a proper cnc 3 axis
08:57 GuShH_ GargantuaSauce: well I didn't specify materials
08:58 GargantuaSauce well i assume you're not going to be milling cheese
08:58 GuShH_ maybe I will
08:58 GuShH_ you could charge a small fortune for funny shaped cheese
08:59 GargantuaSauce extrusion might work better for that anyway
08:59 ShH_ throws some cheese at GargantuaS
08:59 GuShH_ Everyone in the reprap community is so.... self centered.
09:00 GuShH_ I must name everything after myself! and I must reject everyone else's suggestions for I'm the king!
09:00 GuShH_ then they go on a silly tangent over the most ridiculous of topics
09:00 GuShH_ Wait, that's IRC in general.
09:00 GargantuaSauce heh
09:02 GuShH_ the parts lists in general are very generic
09:02 GuShH_ "5x M3 grub screw" they never define the length and the pitch is only assumed because the standard for M3 is commonly 0.5mm...
09:08 robotustra GuShH_: how old are you?
09:08 GuShH_ robotustra: 2
09:10 GargantuaSauce im 12 and what is this
09:11 GuShH_ lol the quality of these parts is questionable at best http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h2YUBJUYPMQ/UcgL0qYe7PI/AAAAAAAAATU/4wzrroX9ruo/s1600/_DSC0007.JPG
09:11 GuShH_ GargantuaSauce: I thought you were 19 to 23
09:12 GuShH_ I'm 27 for what it's worth, I know... shocking.
09:13 GuShH_ At any rate, age is irrelevant.
09:14 GuShH_ GargantuaSauce: would that be a "magma" hotend?
09:14 GuShH_ Why even use solid rod...
09:14 GargantuaSauce no idea
09:21 robotustra GuShH_: any girlfriend?
09:32 GuShH_ robotustra: not currently, why? do you want to take me for a date?
09:32 GuShH_ sorry I don't swing that way....
09:37 robotustra you are spoiled bitch
09:37 robotustra that's why you don't have any girl
09:38 GargantuaSauce zing
09:41 robotustra amen
09:44 GargantuaSauce i was being sarcastic. that was a pretty lackluster insult dude
10:46 SquirrelCZECH_ naaaaah
10:46 uirrelCZECH_ forgot it a
10:46 robotustra ?
10:48 SquirrelCZECH_ guys, how are the machines, designed to move giant objects (seen houses moved by this) that have the abillity to "rotate" each wheel?
10:48 SquirrelCZECH_ (rotate around z axis)
10:48 SquirrelCZECH_ they are pretty mobile because of that abillity
10:49 SquirrelCZECH_ and I think that even each wheel can move up and down
10:50 robotustra and what the problm?
10:50 SquirrelCZECH_ how are these machines called! :D
10:50 uirrelCZECH_ forgot to write the main ques
10:50 SquirrelCZECH_ so I can google more about them
10:51 robotustra load lifters?
10:52 SquirrelCZECH_ nope, different machine have that name
10:52 SquirrelCZECH_ nah
10:52 SquirrelCZECH_ found picture
10:52 SquirrelCZECH_ this type http://www.eso.org/public/archives/images/screen/potw1229a.jpg
10:56 SquirrelCZECH_ GOT YA
10:56 SquirrelCZECH_ :-)
10:56 SquirrelCZECH_ Self-propelled modular transporter
10:57 joga this company seems to refer to them generally as "structural moving equipment" http://www.buckinghamequipment.com/
11:01 robotustra cool
11:01 robotustra SPMT
11:03 GargantuaSauce i imagine they just basically replace half the components of a more conventional suspension system with hydraulic pistons
11:03 GargantuaSauce the wheels are probably driven by hydraulic motors too
11:05 robotustra yeah
11:05 robotustra like excavators
11:05 robotustra for slow motion
11:05 GargantuaSauce and ridiculous torque
11:06 robotustra sure
11:13 SquirrelCZECH_ hmm
11:29 GargantuaSauce ahhh shit i left my soldering iron on for a couple of days
11:29 GargantuaSauce dat oxidation
11:32 joga heh I'm paranoid enough with it that I always remove the cord immediately after I'm done with it
11:33 uirrelCZECH_ will try to find a way how to built small
11:33 SquirrelCZECH_ electric only ofc
11:33 SquirrelCZECH_ or more like small vehicle with independed wheels :-)
11:33 GargantuaSauce how small?
11:33 SquirrelCZECH_ 200x200mm ?
11:33 joga SquirrelCZECH_, small... for moving a doghouse? ;p
11:33 SquirrelCZECH_ it depends
11:34 SquirrelCZECH_ if I will notice that it's too hard to build it too small, I wil make it bigger
11:34 SquirrelCZECH_ same other way :-)
11:34 joga just for fun or some actual hauling purpose?
11:34 GargantuaSauce at that size you will probably have a hard time making it rigid enough without just having a single chassis with the drivetrain fixed directly to it
11:35 SquirrelCZECH_ note: 200x200 means one unit
11:35 SquirrelCZECH_ made of 4 wheels
11:35 GargantuaSauce yeah ok
11:36 SquirrelCZECH_ joga: for furn and sometimes because I am too lazy to move things
11:36 SquirrelCZECH_ :-)
11:37 SquirrelCZECH_ and because I find it interesting ! :D
11:44 joga k well then it's probably ok to make it unsafe etc heh ;P
11:45 SquirrelCZECH_ yeah
11:45 SquirrelCZECH_ just it will be interesting because some of the parts screams " I NEED HYDRAULICS" :D
12:29 GargantuaSauce http://xn--d-bga.su/bldc.png
12:29 GargantuaSauce does this look fine for 1/3 of a brushless driver
13:23 MrCurious any canadians here?
13:23 MrCurious quick question... have you checked if you have begun to superconduct yet?
13:24 KongfuPanda WOAHOOOOT?
13:26 GargantuaSauce it's warmer than it was yesterday
13:26 GargantuaSauce now i'm just getting yet another snowstorm
13:26 Duzz from BC
13:27 Duzz doesnt often get below -5 here
13:31 MrCurious thought i heard winnipeg was near superconducting
13:34 GargantuaSauce thankfully i am 1600km away from there
14:12 MrCurious 1 change in a web gui, and the web gui becomes unreachable
14:12 MrCurious now to find the secret location that change cascaded all into
14:14 GargantuaSauce i fucking hate soho routers
14:15 MrCurious ubuntu maas
14:16 GargantuaSauce oh
14:17 robotustra us british colonia
14:17 GargantuaSauce well in that case you can plug a keyboard and monitor in and fix it
14:18 robotustra I'm more happy than you guys because I never had sich problem
14:47 MrCurious suppose this problem is nothing that going back to square 0 wont solve
14:48 GargantuaSauce worst case scenario you have an electric space heater
14:48 GargantuaSauce 100% efficient!
15:45 MrCurious 3 weeks off and you totally suffer from WTF day is it
15:45 MrCurious gld this is almost over
19:49 MrCurious TGIF?
19:51 Tom_itx meh
19:52 MrCurious nothing on tv .guess i will watch star ward 2 attack of the clowns
21:57 MrCurious someone do something amazing please
22:01 m_itx f
22:59 MrCurious FLASHBACK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPYT9Vyu62A
23:08 MrCurious birdland, brick house
23:10 MrCurious oh yeah... get down on it
23:12 MrCurious wish i could remember more songs the cover band "my brothers keeper" played
23:12 MrCurious they coud sell out a bar in no time
23:13 MrCurious 4 brass, 2 guitar, 1 drum
23:14 MrCurious oh yeah, they cvered parliment - tear te roof off the sucker too
23:15 MrCurious they also did blood sweat ad tears spinning wheel
23:18 MrCurious think they also did chicago 25 or 6 to 4
23:22 MrCurious oh yeah, and when the crowd was going.... tusk
23:23 MrCurious and with that, the memory ends, and the evening resumes
