03:15 AM rue_mohr: hmm, I was focusing on how the brain works, it looks like focusing on how its made is a better angle
03:26 AM rue_mohr: hmm, there will be levels of corrilations to the network
03:34 AM rue_shop4: "And the purpose of my entire existance, is, " "PASS THE BUTTER" "... OH GOD!"
08:00 AM AchiestDragon: no , apparently , its feeding the cat(s)
02:50 PM rue_mohr: ok
02:50 PM rue_mohr: so
02:51 PM rue_mohr: 10yr olds cant work on the same thing for more than 1/2 hr
03:30 PM SpeedEvil: Seem to do fine on trainers.
03:54 PM rue_shop4: ok, so
03:55 PM rue_shop4: 23 years ago, I threw togethor a quick shop stool, out of some scrap wood, with the intention of building a proper one right away
03:55 PM rue_shop4: its been a primary piece of furniture in my shops for 23 years
03:55 PM rue_shop4: but its always been horribly made, with materials that have been slowly failing and band-aided for 23 years
03:56 PM rue_shop4: I'm not retiring it, but I built a good version
03:57 PM rue_shop4: its based on the old one, main difference is 23 years of wear
05:48 PM rue_shop4: something BAD happened to the pin on my bender
05:48 PM * rue_shop4 gets a hammer
05:54 PM rue_shop4: grade 8 bolt ate thu cast iron sprocket
05:59 PM z64555: I'm assuming the bolt was used as an axle?
06:11 PM Tom_L: bearings help prevent that
06:46 PM rue_shop4: bushings are stronger
07:49 PM Jak_o_Shadows: gotta say, I am NOT a fan of these new-fangled hot-ends without the PFTE liner
07:57 PM theBear: erm, is that some kinda dating code or a fancy modern veiled offensive racial slur ?
07:58 PM theBear: new fangles hot ends, ptfe in caps, surely it is code, it don't look easy enough to parse in my head to be a legitimate sentence <grin>
08:01 PM Jak_o_Shadows: aaha
08:02 PM z64555: PFTE is a type of plastic, hot end is the name of the assembly of a 3D printer which heats up and oozes out plastic
08:03 PM theBear: wtf? i can hear and just barely feel what i'm fairly sure is someone axing a tree to make it fall down and not be a tree, which is surprsing around here, and at this time of the week
08:36 PM Tom_L: theBear are they aiming for you?
08:57 PM z64555: er, aiming? It's an axe?
11:34 PM rue_mohr: so I made a major step last night in working out how the human brain works! I'm happy
11:36 PM Tom_L: who's brain?
11:37 PM rue_mohr: any human
11:37 PM Tom_L: what causes some's left side to work better than the right and vise versa?
11:38 PM rue_mohr: bloodflow, genetics, a bump on the head at age 3, lots of thigns
11:38 PM rue_mohr: eating that 5th potato chip at age 7
11:39 PM rue_mohr: stuffing a crayon up your nose,
11:39 PM Tom_L: too hard to prove any of those valid
11:39 PM rue_mohr: indeed
11:39 PM Tom_L: why do some 'have what it takes' and some never get it
11:39 PM rue_mohr: medical fiasco has a MAJOR shortage of tools
11:40 PM rue_mohr: that I'm not sure on
11:40 PM Tom_L: like your current student
11:41 PM rue_mohr: I think its either genetics or early development factors
11:42 PM Tom_L: i know someone that hand picked the eggs and the kid has all sorts of ailments
11:42 PM Tom_L: can't even hold his head up
11:42 PM rue_mohr: are any of Trumps kids scientsits?
11:42 PM rue_mohr: if so, its not genetics
11:43 PM Tom_L: my sister could in no way build a mill or wire the electronics for it
11:43 PM Tom_L: no formal training
11:43 PM rue_mohr: genetics is an incredibly compressed fractal, and its amazing it works out even 1000th as much as it does
11:47 PM Tom_L: i think you will find the more you know about the brain, the less you know
11:50 PM Tom_L: there are visible genetic patterns, i agree but i think that's just the beginning
11:51 PM Tom_L: does a male brain work different than a female brain?
11:57 PM rue_shop4: I can only see about 3 recursion layers into the pattern of a tree, so yea
