02:03 MrCurious printer/scanner 90% disassembled
02:07 MrCurious best part of tonights fireworks tonight was watching a drone video them. worse part was the hoards of honking horns that were calling out for bricks...
02:08 Jak_o_Shadows Scanners are nicer than printers
02:08 MrCurious yup
02:08 MrCurious good bearings, ots of gears, multiple timing belts, motors, stepper, optical interuption sensors
02:09 MrCurious hard part is working out where to ditch all the plastic
02:10 MrCurious wonder how hard it would be to melt it and reform it into bricks suitable for CNC practice
02:12 MrCurious perhaps google has heard of a method
02:18 MrCurious i guess a counter top electric oven is in order
02:28 rue_shop3 Tom_itx,
02:33 rue_shop3 Tom_itx,
07:45 Tom_itx rue_shop3,
07:45 Tom_itx rue_shop3,
11:04 MrCurious GuShH: guess argentina is going to get beat by belgium today?
11:10 deshipu that would be some creative geography
11:12 poli MrCurious: I hope not. ;)
11:24 MrCurious one downside of the nest thermostat... if you leave learning on the first few days while youo constantly tweek your new a... it learns those changes, and assumes you want a roller oaster ride from then on
11:40 m_itx turns MrCurious's thermostat up to
11:51 rue_shop3 Tom_itx,

17:45 MrCurious nil nil matches annoy me
17:46 Tom_itx they haven't discovered overtime yet ehh?
17:47 Tom_itx or sudden death matches
17:47 MrCurious its in 2nd extra 15
17:47 MrCurious going to penalties moost suredly
17:47 Tom_itx somebody will drop eventually
17:48 MrCurious nobody wants penalties
17:49 MrCurious thats like agreeing to end a war with a duel of 5 soldiers at 50'
17:51 MrCurious now this looks cool... http://hackedgadgets.com/2014/06/24/bipedal-walking-sentinel-project/
17:52 MrCurious best biped i have seen yet
17:54 MrCurious harkens back to that inanely cool biped from robocop I
18:09 rue_shop3 Tom_itx, whats the pinout of the isp on your programmers?
18:24 rue_shop3 oneof the stepper driveers I got seemto be dead
18:25 rue_shop3 the second one works, runs the printer motor ok
18:25 rue_shop3 so I guess I see if I have enough good ones and build a board to hold them all
18:50 GuShH MrCurious: I said we would beat them... now, too bad about Costa Rica... I wanted them to win
18:50 GuShH MrCurious: I disagree strongly with allowing one team to swap their goalkeeper for a fresh one, when the other team decides to keep theirs
18:51 GuShH because that's unfair, regardless of both having the option.
18:51 GuShH I guess it's all down to strategy but doesn't seem fair, also allowing them to trash talk....
18:51 GuShH those klootzaks.
20:00 Tom_itx rue_shop3, http://tom-itx.ddns01.com:81/~webpage/boards/USBTiny_Mkii/6pin_isp.jpg
20:00 Tom_itx thank MS for that ddns change...
20:10 MrCurious i thought the losing team goal keeper swapped
21:26 GuShH MrCurious: huh? losing at the coin flip??? that's to choose who goes first
21:26 GuShH and penalties means both teams lost
21:27 GuShH score resets to 0-0 anyway
21:27 GuShH you mean lost by points??
21:27 Tom_itx does that mean i won?
21:27 ShH fr
21:27 GuShH that's a fugly ddns
21:27 Tom_itx did it get you there?
21:27 GuShH the ms crap?
21:28 Tom_itx did the link take you to my page?
21:28 GuShH yes
21:28 Tom_itx then i couldn't care less how fugly it is
21:28 GuShH haha
21:28 GuShH I can't memorize it.
21:29 GuShH "it's better than an ipv6 address, deal with it"
21:29 Tom_itx MS killed 22 ddns domains
21:29 GuShH because they are going to offer their own now? or some other excuse about piracy and phishing
21:29 Tom_itx excuse
21:29 Tom_itx they had a court order backing them
