00:01 MrCurious where you cant sleep because your brain refuses to stop
00:01 MrCurious if so, how do you combat it or copewith it
00:02 GargantuaSauce i have been led to believe that is because of the blue light from computer monitors
00:03 GargantuaSauce our circadan rhythms are tied to visual stimuli
00:03 GargantuaSauce some people use software that makes your shit orange in time with the sun, some people just stay away from screens or other blue light for an hour before retiring
00:05 GargantuaSauce have a cup of herbal tea and read a book or something for a bit
00:06 GargantuaSauce (though if you're anything like me, a good book is read in one sitting)
00:09 MrCurious yeah, books are addictive too
00:50 MrCurious i have decided that i do not want bifocals..., but i do want glasses with a ditance sensor that servo lenses down when i am staring close (reading), but servo them up when looking far
01:00 rue_house AND 10X optic zooom!
01:01 GargantuaSauce you are not thinking big enough!
01:01 GargantuaSauce needs IR
01:02 GargantuaSauce AR
01:02 GargantuaSauce i hope the new version of the rift happens soon

09:09 NiksenX Hello guys! Does anyone has had experience with lasers/laser diodes?
09:29 aemquo I'm sure someone has here.
09:29 aemquo I have not.
09:30 aemquo What do you need help with?
09:51 gushhtab Lazors
10:04 aemquo Layzor
10:19 aemquo NiksenX, what are you doing with lasers?
10:34 aemquo gushhtab, wat r u up 2 bro?
11:10 gushhtab Aemquo not much
11:32 aemquo ic
12:50 aemquo \o/
12:59 delinquentme hey all ! Building out the resume a bit ... and I'm talking about the tools that I've integrated into robotics ... wondering if theres a more specific term to use than just " custom machined aluminum "
12:59 delinquentme As in the structural components which stitched everything together
13:11 aemquo Sounds OK imho.
13:11 aemquo Maybe throw in some buzzwords
13:11 aemquo CNC/whatnot

15:07 GargantuaSauce >now
15:15 armyofevilrobots Complaining to the FCC that they aren't enforcing laws that the court said is unenforceable... perhaps need to point petition at the next layer up?
15:17 armyofevilrobots @ NiksenX___ My advise, don't look into the aperture with your remaining good eye.
20:16 rue_house I wish maker/hack spaces would set up an international package network
20:24 rue_house qr based routing codes, so that webcams could be used to work out what package goes to what adjacent space
20:32 rue_house the QR codes could be IPv6 format identifiers for the desination space
20:32 rue_house a server could answer where every package should go next from every stop
20:32 rue_house get your packages, scan, resend
20:33 rue_house hmm, might help if packages had unique identifiers tho
20:33 rue_house then as you scan them, their positions are tracked
22:17 GuShH_ robotustra: tell me about the PARROT
22:47 robotustra_ what?
22:47 robotustra_ who is parrot?
22:48 DagoRed the quad copter?
22:48 robotustra_ parrot is a bird?
22:48 robotustra_ sometimes they immitates speaking
22:48 DagoRed and moving on
