00:09 GuShH_ ask god
00:09 GargantuaSauce program in an impending death for it to learn to override in order to grasp at the essence of its own existence
00:10 MrCurious i figure as much as i procrastinate
00:10 MrCurious if i lived forever, that would onlly get worse
00:10 GuShH_ You should be playing Carmageddon Reincarnation instead.
00:10 MrCurious it is only in the hourglass of life that one finds the drive to push forward
00:21 rue_shop2 "but the trick to life is drawing the target on whatever is was you hit"
00:28 rue_shop2 I HATE BEDTIME
00:28 rue_shop2 I want to finish this arm
00:28 rue_shop2 I just need another 10 hours or so
00:33 ShH_ grants rue_shop2 another 10 hours o
00:42 rue_more but I need it fit in between now and starting work tommorow
00:43 rue_more ok who can share links to cool or nifty gripper designs
00:45 GargantuaSauce https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCV00gnyMWk
00:47 rue_more festo is gonna be worth something one day
00:49 GuShH_ ya think
00:54 rue_more festo has no products to they? its just R&d?
00:54 GargantuaSauce they sell run of the mill industrial automation stuff
00:54 GargantuaSauce and just do magic on the side
00:55 GuShH_ with the leftovers.
00:57 rue_more aaaah
01:01 GargantuaSauce but yeah it's pretty big, like 15k employees according to the wikipedias
01:02 GuShH_ well that's where they failed. they should have 15k robots.
01:03 GargantuaSauce >More than 7% of turnover is invested in research and development, especially in the field of energy efficiency.
01:03 GargantuaSauce wow
01:07 rue_more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btSc3B6uFC0
01:07 rue_more those... are... hobby servos...
01:07 rue_more and thats.... the same.... chinese supply I used in my new bench supply
01:07 GuShH_ your point being
01:08 GargantuaSauce they are probably top-range hitec ones
01:09 GargantuaSauce which are basically as good as they get
01:09 GargantuaSauce also the bowden tubes make for very good damping
01:10 GargantuaSauce very impressive
01:10 GuShH_ those don't really look like generic hobby servos rue
01:11 GuShH_ and the psu, what gives... if they supply clean enough power, who cares.
01:11 GuShH_ but a lot of high quality PSUs come in that form factor
01:11 GuShH_ you'll find medical grade ones that look just like your chinky but cost over twenty times as much.
01:11 GuShH_ if not more.
01:12 GuShH_ GargantuaSauce: you reckon those are proper bowden or just plastic liners
01:12 GargantuaSauce no idea
01:13 GargantuaSauce the lines might be semirigid too
01:13 GuShH_ why won't they post technical information with these videos...
01:13 GuShH_ money whores.
01:14 GargantuaSauce because the implementation doesn't provide much novelty on top of the straight engineering
01:14 GargantuaSauce including the selection of components
01:14 GuShH_ money whores.
01:14 GargantuaSauce ya
01:15 ShH_ points at dave j
01:15 GuShH_ I might give up on YouTube entirely if he keeps popping up every few videos.
01:16 GargantuaSauce oh man
01:16 GuShH_ HAI ... yadayada TALENT yadayada ...

01:17 GuShH_ bowden, soooo animatronic.
01:17 GuShH_ I'm not watching that!
01:17 GargantuaSauce in fact they aren't bad guys because check out what they sent me!
01:17 rue_more wow, he workd close to his fingers
01:18 GuShH_ rue_more: exactly the same principle as in animatronics, for the hand, just different actuation
01:19 GuShH_ as for the bandsaw... I wouldn't be so cocky, it will eventually bite you
01:19 GuShH_ nice chopsaw
01:20 GuShH_ I can't afford one of thsoe wet chopsaws but one day I might build one
01:23 rue_more the drilling too, he's awefull close
01:23 GuShH_ http://mla-s2-p.mlstatic.com/kawasaki-zx6-ninja-600cc-12989-MLA20069433703_032014-O.jpg Wonder how much of that bike is mechanically essential
01:23 GuShH_ rue_more: it was a small bit on the press
01:23 GuShH_ it might grab on exit but it's aluminum and a small bit
01:23 GuShH_ he however doesn't care about precision, hence all those half assed techniques
01:24 GuShH_ but as a "SCHOOL" he should be ashamed of himself if that's what he teaches.
01:24 rue_more ?
01:24 GuShH_ it's a promo video for his animatronics school
01:25 GuShH_ I wonder how sane it would be to own a bike from 1989 as a daily commuter
01:26 GuShH_ Keep eyeing these http://mla-s2-p.mlstatic.com/ninja-gpz-600-r-excelente-estado-9571-MLA20017560721_122013-F.jpg

09:15 GuShH_ gotta love the big red WTF button http://www.kwartzlab.ca/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/rotary1.jpg
09:15 GuShH_ I'm surprised it doesn't tip over by the weight of the screen <grin>
09:16 GuShH_ a bit overkill stepper on the rotary head
09:17 GuShH_ rue_more: this is eztv's idea of a joke http://eztv.it/
09:17 GuShH_ most people chose the "let's google ourselves" route
09:17 GuShH_ googlefied!
09:24 rue_more everyones playing like google bought them today
11:45 GuShH_ and they say I'm an elitistic asshole... http://www.lostgarden.com/2007/05/dancs-miraculously-flexible-game.html -> "Unfortunately, to be overly blunt, you suck at drawing."
11:53 GuShH_ damn hipsters
11:54 MrCurious :)
11:55 MrCurious april first... imposible to trust news today
11:56 GuShH_ MrCurious: right, almost every site is unusable.
11:56 MrCurious need input!
11:56 GuShH_ sorry no homo.
11:57 MrCurious textual input... for clarity for those with men on their minds...
11:58 GuShH_ haha
