01:11 MrCurious finally a picture to explain big data to non computer folk http://t.co/16BRxYJlEK
06:44 esakish o/
06:45 esakish How is everyone?
06:48 Jak_o_Shadows hi
06:48 Jak_o_Shadows ok
11:03 rue_more TIG WELDER WORKS!
11:04 billmania Bigger pieces of metal from smaller pieces of metal!
13:01 MrCurious GuShH: not looking so good for brazil
13:02 GuShH MrCurious: that's good for me, if they lose
13:02 GuShH not watching though
13:02 GuShH only watched half a match since it all began
13:02 MrCurious could go to shootout
13:03 GuShH those are fun
13:03 GuShH brazil chile 1-1
13:03 GuShH interesting.
13:03 GuShH [26 jun 14 23:49] * GuShH * Brazil Chile, Brazil wins 2-1
13:03 GuShH we'll see huh.
13:05 MrCurious leaving it til last 10 minutes very suspenseful
13:10 MrCurious cummon... want to see a card
13:12 MrCurious the 90 is over, still 1 - 1
13:14 esakish Watching football?
13:19 GuShH MrCurious: they must win 2-1
13:19 ShH
13:19 esakish Who is playing?
13:19 GuShH brazil chile
13:19 GuShH the two we hate in argentina
13:19 esakish Ah
13:20 GuShH (not really, they hate us)
13:20 esakish Watched many games last week and half, on daily
14:10 MrCurious i thought chile should have won this
14:12 GuShH MrCurious: bah
14:12 MrCurious 2 - 2 going into 5th
14:12 MrCurious penalties
14:12 GuShH it was 2-1 for a short time :(
14:12 MrCurious you missed your score prediction
14:12 GuShH haha
14:12 GuShH shaddup
14:12 GuShH first time! someone paid someone!
14:12 GuShH 3-2?
14:13 MrCurious pretty tense
14:13 GuShH if BR wins at least I got it half right
14:13 GuShH those damn brazilians play nasty.
14:13 GuShH another one lol
14:13 MrCurious i wasnt to see brazil knocked out
14:13 GuShH hmm I don't like Chile though
14:13 MrCurious well thats that
14:13 GuShH lol
14:14 GuShH the fifa site doesn't update in realtime
14:14 GuShH lame
14:15 MrCurious 1-1, 3-2 penalties
14:16 GuShH MrCurious: hey br won that's the other part of the bet!
14:16 GuShH I don't account for pentalties, I assume they won't play like girls.
14:17 GuShH that would be impossible to predict
14:17 MrCurious well, it is a lady-boy country
14:17 GuShH which one they're both full of those
14:17 GuShH chile converts 'em
14:17 GuShH brazil makes 'em
14:17 GuShH must be all the soy they eat
14:17 GuShH born that way already.
14:17 GuShH either that or female shortage.
14:18 GuShH In general Chile steals our lands, brazil are backstabbing bastards.
14:18 GuShH When push came to shove, Chile pooped their pants and allowed the UK full access to their ports (OR ELSE)
14:19 GuShH Hence, we don't like faggy boys.
14:19 GuShH Glad they lost.
14:19 madist today's news had an article about how Argentina might default again.
14:19 GuShH Of course this means every other team will have to deal with Brazil.
14:19 GuShH madist: old news
14:19 GuShH been happening for a while.
14:20 madist you're not worried ?
14:20 GuShH madist: bitch president will pay debt with more debt and default us again
14:20 GuShH someone should off someone.
14:20 GuShH madist: I'm worried nobody offed anybody yet.
14:20 madist if default is inevitable, then sooner is better.
14:20 GuShH You can't change them just stop them.
14:21 GuShH Her model was to pay debt with money that wasn't ours to begin with, giving us more debt.
14:21 madist just give the finger to all those hedge funds.
14:21 GuShH And she's going to repeat the process, to dig us a deeper hole.
14:21 GuShH Because she only has shoes and handbags in that messed up brain of hers
14:22 GuShH Her husband at least wasn't such a snake
14:22 GuShH (they're all thieving bastards, but at least he wasn't -that- bad)
14:22 madist What I didn't understand from what I read: if Argentina doesn't have the money at all, what are the hedge funds trying to achieve ?
14:22 madist what is their goal ?
14:22 madist Why are they asking for money they know is not there ?
14:22 GuShH Ask her.
14:24 madist Why would she know ?
14:24 GuShH True, if truly insane then she wouldn't.
14:25 GuShH The official story on his death is bogus, in reality (what we all believe happened) is his son shot him during a family dispute, it's a known fact their son is a cocaine riddled addict, it's also known they would fight on a daily basis... When he punched her in the stomach, the kid got his gun and shot him. Reason why it was a closed casket and nobody saw his corpse. The other theory is he faked it, to get away with all the money he stole.
14:25 GuShH There's a similar story with the gun shot, but one of the private security detail guys shot him instead of the son, same story though.
14:26 GuShH (said to be in an affair, or have a 'thing' with her, also)
14:26 GuShH but hey that's none of the official word, in fact that's all frowned upon, you shouldn't talk about it!
14:26 madist what does any of this have to do with Argentina's finances ?
14:26 GuShH That's how she finally gets in power, pretty much.
14:27 GuShH Debt went up as she took over.
14:27 GuShH Their official word however was the opposite.
14:27 GuShH smoke, mirrors, lies.
14:28 GuShH madist: she was focused on spending money on as many useless projects as she could find, to launder their money and steal more of it while they were at it.
14:28 madist is Argentina self-sufficient in food ?
14:29 GuShH sure
14:29 GuShH but most of the best meat is exported.
14:29 GuShH as is the soy, etc.
14:29 madist so if Argentina defaults the standard of living for poor people will go up
14:30 GuShH (although soy doesn't pay very well lately)
14:30 GuShH madist: it's a poor / people government designed to gain votes / followers / soldiers
14:30 GuShH they wash the kid's brain with propaganda from early on
14:31 GuShH ...went as far as to ripoff a famous character / storyline and using the husband's name and face instead, to get their message across and appeal to kids.
14:31 GuShH they also manipulated other artwork, that wasn't in tune with their view.
14:31 GuShH that's proper dictatorship crap right there.
14:32 GuShH what I don't understand is, she has more money than she can possibly spend in several lifetimes, quit stealing and do something good for a change.
14:33 GuShH she doesn't have to worry about earning nothing, she just wakes up and knows she has anything she could possibly want, fuck sake she has her newspapers delivered by private jet every day. EMPTY JET WITH PAPERS IN IT
14:33 GuShH while kids starve or steal to buy more drugs
14:33 GuShH drugs which pay for their campaigns, so of course no stopping that.
14:34 ShH walks away ashamed that nobody puts an end t
14:34 GuShH They destroyed all industries. We can't import materials, tooling, etc. to actually have an industry.
14:34 GuShH She even promised a "bullet train" which never materialized, but the money -all of it- is long gone into their accounts.
14:34 GuShH Accounts from fake corporations all going offshore to be laundered.
14:35 GuShH Licitations for almost all projects are won by their own fake companies, which in turn contract some cheap ass labour to do the worst possible job, if at all.
14:36 GuShH that's why streets are cracked open, things don't work, etc. and you still have to pay your taxes, otherwise byebye house.
14:36 GuShH So sorry if sometimes I come across as a big ass, but this is just way too much to handle. Unless you are an ignorant sheep who simply ignores all facts and doesn't give a flying shit about anything, then sure you could live happily in Argentina.
14:37 GuShH I should just bend over and take it from them, become one of them, one lowlife dipshit, at least I'll poop money.
14:37 GuShH You could be the best professional in your field, but if you are not in sync with their political views, you'll do very badly.
14:37 madist that's the problem with corrupt governments. often its easier to join in the corruption than to fight it.
14:43 Hyratel got some epoxy to fix N64 joysticks - discovered a how-to that shows how to build back up the white plastic slide bearing cup that gets worn down the worst
14:44 mumptai g'evening
14:45 mumptai how many of you have taken part in a robotics competition?
14:47 Hyratel *hand*
14:48 Hyratel four years of FRC as a student, 5 years as a mentor
14:51 mumptai I did a few year in eurobot, as an participant
14:52 mumptai was actually be one of the better things in university ;)
14:53 mumptai but it looks like all competitions are now targeted toward students-groups or big-money teams
14:55 GargantuaSauce the free market will save us all
14:56 mumptai the freemarket will save its monopolists ..
15:39 MrCurious looks like uraguay is going to bite it this game
15:40 MrCurious the freemarket will save th free market
15:51 MrCurious going to the bthroom, like a boss.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3766FEkaqQ
16:39 MrCurious 2 - nil columbia... something really took the bite out of Urugruay...
17:33 ShH casually hides all beers from MrCur
18:57 MrCurious wonder who won
19:07 Tom_itx Colombia
19:07 Tom_itx 2-0
19:09 MrCurious i think that was the score at 56 min when i went to nap
19:09 MrCurious talk about a well timed nap
19:10 MrCurious went to workshop to check Aluminum supplies and discovered all i have are extrusions, no 0.75x2" planks
22:03 delinquentme So I know common blow-off valves ( on hitting X PSI, release excess ) exist. But what about a valve which does just the opposite? Specifically for a negative pressure
22:09 GargantuaSauce mount it backwards?
22:10 GargantuaSauce all pressures are relative remember
22:47 MrCurious yay. managed to get in the garage and cut some metal
22:52 Tom_itx better than cutting fingers
23:08 GuShH rue_mohr2: adjusted the preload on the spindle, it was almost loose.
23:08 GuShH you couldn't take most cuts without chatter
23:08 GuShH nicely enough the grub screw has a tiny brass "wafer" to press onto the spindle threads
23:08 GuShH quite the surprise, the chuck doesn't have that, but it's a good idea.
23:09 GuShH but I adjusted with the bearings warmed up, seems a bit too tight when cold
23:14 RifRaf any of you using RPi's?
23:19 Jak_o_Shadows I have a friend who does
23:22 RifRaf just got a couple of them to try out for some projects, pretty fast for the size, have been able to get most apps i need working on them
23:23 Jak_o_Shadows thing that's always held me back is that they need a decent amount of power to run
23:23 RifRaf just the expansion seems a bit limited, like hard to get more than 2 stepper drivers on them
23:23 RifRaf Jak_o_Shadows, so far all testing has been with a normal usb port for power, am impressed
23:25 RifRaf was hoping to get 2 cameras and 4 steppers on one for foxys eyes but looks like i'll need 2 to keep the cameras fast
23:26 RifRaf did get foxy working again on one though :) , using an 8 year old brain
23:33 MrCurious odroid x3 is superior to RPi
23:33 MrCurious and vert competitively pricecd
23:33 MrCurious very
23:42 RifRaf MrCurious, so it can run android or linux?
23:42 MrCurious both
23:42 MrCurious quad core, 2ghz
23:42 MrCurious lots of ios
23:42 RifRaf you have one?
23:42 MrCurious add in the EMMC and its like supercharging it with ssd
23:51 MrCurious i have an odroid u2 and a u3
23:54 MrCurious best arm solution for robotics i have discovered yet
