03:45:06 <rust_collector> well, that stuff does happen
03:46:10 <Ampera> My ass happens.
03:46:33 <Agripa> It does but usually they catch it before lifting the whole truck into the air.
03:47:20 <rust_collector> yeah, and some times not. but yes, usually before it is THAT much in the air

08:01:35 <rust_collector> I bet it is still better than my digital one, full of green-blue corrosion
08:03:54 <Agripa> It's pretty old. They don't even make it anymore. http://www.bestool-kanon.co.jp/english/products/v31.html
08:06:37 <rust_collector> if it works, then it works. I do not think I have heard of that brand before
08:09:35 <Agripa> These are the same ones. Mine is missing the dial lock which does not matter. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Kanon-6-Dial-Caliper-Used-and-calibrated-Hardened-Stainless-Steel-/123227003928

18:13:06 <Halcyon> Evening all
18:18:30 <T3sl4> mornin
18:31:41 <T3sl4> Ohhhh... well that would explain why my long LED light wasn't lighting
18:31:56 <T3sl4> 160V across the 70V LED string and no current flow
18:42:33 <Halcyon> I don't think they like that
18:43:01 <T3sl4> ah, yep.. two open LEDs
18:43:07 <T3sl4> short across, works fine again :)
18:43:56 <Halcyon> \o/
18:54:49 <T3sl4> now let's see if i remember how the RF shields were put together, so i can have it properly boxed up like it was
18:55:06 <T3sl4> (this is raw proto kit, copper-clad PCB tacked together :P )
18:57:20 * Halcyon pretends to know what T3sl4 and offers him a snack
18:57:36 <Halcyon> *is on about
19:01:56 <T3sl4> well, this is the circuit, https://www.seventransistorlabs.com/Images/LED_Light2.png
19:02:02 <Halcyon> *hic*
19:02:11 <Halcyon> I think I put too much chilli in my stir fry
19:02:14 <T3sl4> dont think i ever took a meaningful picture of it as built though :P
19:02:36 <T3sl4> capsaicin gives you the hiccups sometimes, too, eh?
19:03:18 <Halcyon> Only initially and if it's very very hot
19:03:54 <Halcyon> I will regret this in the morning :P
19:05:09 <T3sl4> hehehe
19:12:44 <Halcyon> I finished it
19:12:48 <Halcyon> Now I have the sweats
19:34:01 <T3sl4> there, all back together, for some value of "together"
19:34:37 <T3sl4> i improved the wiring harness, which ended up sticking out more from the side.. so the original shield didn't fit, or at least, i think i got it in the original orientation? it's just three sides of PCB tacked together ;)
19:35:23 <T3sl4> so i've got one side pasted onto the structure looking like it belongs there, and the three-side piece is joined to that on one side, but cocked at an angle, to clear the wires...
19:35:35 <T3sl4> some shorting strips across the gap holds it in place, good enough :P
19:36:03 <T3sl4> i mean, uh, it gives it a modern art vibe, y'see ;)
19:37:52 <T3sl4> still, it's a lot dimmer, and bluer, than i remember, so i'll probably want to replace the LEDs wholesale at some point
19:38:01 <T3sl4> which entails buying new ones, meh
