10:33 GuShH MrCurious: Argentina - Iran maybe... if they play, 3-1
11:05 MrCurious i dont believe in your voo-doo chinese fast food sports predictions
11:20 Carp pardon a noob question, but I can't seem to find an Hbridge schematic online that can handle 1/3-1/2hp draw on the web. would one of you folks happen to be able to recommend me site or link? I have relays that could do the job, i was hoping to use mosfets, and I don't know every mosfet out there.
11:21 Tom_itx google open source motor control
11:21 Tom_itx 40-50A
11:21 Carp ahh, i didn't try open source. i came up with 150-300ma designs.
11:22 Carp thank you very much

17:23 robotustra_ this is a post man
17:23 MrCurious USA futbol uniform, red, white, blue... emphasis RED
17:24 robotustra_ why didn't thay wear rainbow uniform?
17:24 MrCurious well, that would just be.....
17:24 MrCurious incorrect as those are not our flag colors
17:24 robotustra_ :)
17:25 robotustra_ it's already time to make american flag as rainbow and put a 2 more colors to it
17:28 robotustra_ ok, at least we can put rainbow istead of stirpes
17:32 GuShH MrCurious: to be fair there's more red than blue on your flag
17:32 GuShH but the white ratio is off.
17:32 GuShH looks like France to me.
17:33 robotustra_ thanks god I don't watch this circus
17:35 MrCurious but the uniform is 5% blue, 5% white, and 90 % red
17:35 MrCurious makes me think of blood...
17:35 robotustra_ in soviet america...
17:35 robotustra_ uniform wear you
17:35 MrCurious like we are shoulder deep in blood
17:36 MrCurious meanwhile in Iraq....
17:36 robotustra_ till throat
17:36 robotustra_ do they wear bloody crags?
17:56 Skwint The enormous bloody religious war being fought in Iraq to the detriment of civilization as a whole is NOT RELEVANT here. Please don't mention it again. Football only please, like the news
17:59 MrCurious so no robots, no war, only fotbol?
18:00 MrCurious skwint: i didnt see you using any of the air in here. do you have something you would like to talk about? please be our guest.
18:00 robotustra_ Skwint: who are you?
18:01 MrCurious i would think it fits within the "psychology" clause of the topic...
18:03 MrCurious so that is all he had to say? keep it quiet so it can be quiet in here?
18:04 robotustra_ it looks like it's a Tony Bleer or Quin Elisabeth
18:05 Skwint eh, sorry
18:05 Skwint lots of things pissing me off at the moment :p
18:07 MrCurious :/
18:07 MrCurious can we taunt some more, or would you prefer we waited till later in the day :P
18:07 Skwint it's just about midnight here
18:07 MrCurious well that takes th piss
18:08 Curious writes off the skwint taunt-or-tu
18:08 Skwint I have to go to bed soon so that I can be nice and fresh to go to work and pretend entire countries aren't openly practicing genocide while I fix bugs in java apps
18:11 MrCurious i think war is a constant feature of our species. its sad, but it is a truth
18:11 MrCurious it is what people do when they run out of words...
18:11 MrCurious teach your children MANY words
18:11 MrCurious whoa that was so deep i almost fell in
18:27 MrCurious took apart a printer last night, got 4 steppers, 1 dc motor, 2 timing belts, 2 linear rods, multiple encoders
18:33 GuShH MrCurious: so third-worldy of you!
18:34 GuShH is your country playing?
18:34 MrCurious its called up-cycling all the cool hipsters are doing it

19:08 rue_more heh
19:09 Tom_itx i've heard rumors

20:17 MrCurious i think some of your shop spilled on my country
21:12 rue_bed not the $91 steppers I just got out of the HP MFP machines I hope!
21:12 orlock Wow, what size MFP?
21:12 rue_bed big

21:13 orlock IT, rather
21:13 orlock i was talking to one of the client who prints labels, they re-purposed and modified one of their old presses
21:13 orlock to make metallic labels
21:14 orlock they got something modified, and now they can emboss thin sheets of pewter or alloy to make awesome metal labels
21:14 orlock cool re-use of old printing press
22:14 GuShH MrCurious: lol your country won 2-1
22:14 GuShH the magic number.
22:14 MrCurious you said 3-1
22:14 ShH doesn't even know where Ghana i
22:14 GuShH NO
22:15 GuShH I didn't say against Ghana.
22:15 MrCurious then, how many points do you predict argentina will lose to prazil by in th final match
22:15 GuShH Argentina - Iran I said 3-1
22:15 GuShH IF they play.
22:15 GuShH MrCurious: they'll tie.
22:15 MrCurious then it will be a shoot out
22:15 GuShH yes.. and I can't predict that.
22:16 GuShH but if they tie, I get extra cookie points.
22:17 MrCurious admit it, you are in the fifa maffia, and you already know the planned outcomes!
22:17 ShH p
22:17 GuShH I wish
22:17 GuShH I would bet and win lots of MONEIS
22:18 MrCurious you should the way you are calling them
22:18 MrCurious run to the off license and put a tenner on the nexxt game
22:18 GuShH Maybe.
22:18 GuShH In theory Brazil will win.
22:41 Hyratel I was able to repair the switches in a power wheels fwd/reverse selector using the springs out of some cheap mechanical pencils
22:43 GuShH o.O?
22:43 Hyratel yep
22:44 Hyratel it had gotten left out in the rain so the buckling-spring rocker switches used in the selector lever had rusted to sludge
22:44 Hyratel rather, the springs had
22:44 Hyratel but the springs out of the cheap BIC pencils are perfect
22:57 e_shop2 tries to work out a way of interconnecting the encoders that he will ac
