05:06:07 * broccoli puts ampera in a hole and adds a barrel of fresh fish to keep them company
21:21:33 <Ampera> who's being kept company, the barrel of fish?
21:21:33 <rust_collector4> and after all that, you will put the steak in a bottle, and send it across the sea?
21:21:33 <Ampera> I am only one person, not multiple
21:21:33 <rust_collector4> you and barrel, or you and fish?
21:21:33 <broccoli> I'm so looking forward to setting up my new basement
21:21:33 <rust_collector4> ok
21:21:33 <broccoli> it's got a 25x30=750 Sq ft (69sq meters) big room
21:21:33 <broccoli> i can have a wood shop and a test bench
21:21:33 <Nothing\> broccoli, it does both manual and passive
21:21:33 <broccoli> and theres two smaller rooms for the wife sewing or whatever
21:21:33 <broccoli> Nothing\, whats the range on the passive?
21:21:33 <Nothing\> but the passive losses connection so easily you have to be in the same room as it
21:21:33 <Nothing\> broccoli, not bloody much
21:21:33 <rust_collector4> a detest bench well, I finished eating dinner. i think I will sneak over to the burger place
21:21:33 <Nothing\> lol
21:21:33 <DHess_US> Wood shops really should be separate from everything. Dust gets everywhere.
21:21:33 <DHess_US> Metal grinding is even worse.
21:21:33 <Nothing\> and the accuracy is +/-20% at times
21:21:33 <Ampera> broccoli, no basement is complete without a place to put your wife.
21:21:33 <broccoli> Solid agree DHess_US
21:21:33 <Nothing\> unless i use a blood sample
21:21:33 <broccoli> im gonna have a lot of passive air filtration tho
21:21:33 <DHess_US> I have a cart for my metal working stuff, and roll it outside the garage to do stuff.
21:21:33 <broccoli> Smart
21:21:33 <Nothing\> funny thing is about these things broccoli, i dunno if you've had experience with them or not
21:21:33 <broccoli> I don't have street level access from the basement so I will probably use the makers pace for weldint
21:21:33 <DHess_US> I'm going to get another cart to hold a drill press and maybe a bench grinder or sander, or my chop saw.
21:21:33 <Nothing\> but the whole advantage to the patient of not having to prick your finge constantly
21:21:33 <broccoli> Yes?
21:21:33 <Nothing\> it's funny because instead of that, you have a 5mm metal strip stuck into your skin
21:21:33 <Nothing\> 24/7
21:21:33 <broccoli> It's good right? As long as it's calibrated okay
21:21:33 <rust_collector4> install a tap?
21:21:33 <broccoli> yeah I have little scars all over my thighs and belly
21:21:34 <Nothing\> rust_collector4, i think they call those central lines lol
21:21:34 <DHess_US> This is an excellent cart for the price, https://workprotools.store/products/workpro-36-18-portable-welding-table-1200-lbs-load-capacity-nitriding-tabletop?variant=42892809437374
21:21:34 <EEVBot> [url] WORKPRO 36”×18” Portable Welding Table, 1200 lbs Load Capacity, Nitrid | workprotools.store
21:21:34 <Nothing\> where they put in a permanent device to recieve injections where there's tubing that routes the injection directly to the heart
21:21:34 <broccoli> They do in line tube's for tubed pumps
21:21:34 <Nothing\> either in your neck or arm
21:21:34 <broccoli> there's a word for it.. Not catheter but close
21:21:34 <Nothing\> but not for diabetes, that's for cancer or something where they have to give you lots of IV drugs
21:21:34 <broccoli> Yeah those central lines are very infection prone tho
21:21:34 <Nothing\> oh hell yeah they are
21:21:34 <Nothing\> really any artificial portal into the body is
21:21:34 <broccoli> Yeah
21:21:34 <Nothing\> even natural ones
21:21:34 <broccoli> yeah
21:21:34 <DHess_US> My first welding project was to add a steel shelf to hold the gas bottle to my cart, https://i.imgur.com/QE6ZuSD.jpeg
21:21:34 <rust_collector4> "nitriding tabletop" but that looks pretty handy
21:21:34 <broccoli> Very cute
21:21:34 <broccoli> meltable strap holding that bottle on tho
21:21:34 <arch> any opinions on a smallish air compressor for a DIY mechanic / homeowner?
21:21:34 <Nothing\> i had a nasty reaction from my one sensor a few weeks ago. It wasn't infected, but it was bruised as hell and clearly was bleeding for several days. The dried up blood looked like rust all over my arm.
21:21:34 <broccoli> how many cfm/gpm u looking for arch
21:21:34 <rust_collector4> arch get a bigger one
21:21:34 <arch> i dont have an air compressor right now
21:21:34 <arch> well, except for the 12V tire inflator
21:21:34 <broccoli> Like what tools are u gonna run off it
21:21:34 <rust_collector4> find one they say can do what you want, then get the one 2 sizes up
21:21:34 <broccoli> that's very good advice
21:21:34 <arch> at most, impact tools. small scale sandblasting
21:21:34 <DHess_US> broccoli, I fixed that the next day, https://i.imgur.com/KFat6j0.jpeg
21:21:34 <rust_collector4> so, only just the things that take a lot of air
21:21:34 <broccoli> rated is always at ideal conditions or low pressure or something. Shit sucks
21:21:34 <Nothing\> https://postimg.cc/v4YD4Thq
21:21:34 <EEVBot> [url] 20240824 195653 — Postimages | postimg.cc
21:21:34 <broccoli> U can get old tanks just laying around tho
21:21:34 <DHess_US> Added bumpers to the sharp edges of the steel shelf also.
21:21:34 <Nothing\> it looks like a small lizard bit me or something
21:21:34 <arch> the bigass air compressors are so expensive
21:21:34 <arch> i need to wait until some old bastards around here dies and their shit goes on estate sales
21:21:34 <DHess_US> rust_collector4, they nitride the surface so that weld splatter does not stick to it.
21:21:34 <rust_collector4> ok, in the pic, I guessed they meant the edges went down the sides, and not up, like the other one
21:21:34 <DHess_US> arch, "small scale sandblasting" requires more that the minimum size compressor.
21:21:34 <broccoli> These are nice for a tank to blow off accumulated moisture https://www.amazon.com/Electronic-Automatic-Tank-Drain-Compressors/dp/B00273WV78
21:21:34 <EEVBot> [url] Amazon.com | www.amazon.com
21:21:34 <DHess_US> Find the sandblaster you want to use and get its CFM rating, and then get a compressor which can support that.
21:21:34 <Nothing\> speaking of beetus, i took my insulin 20 minutes ago. so I should eat before it kicks in and my sugar tanks to the point i nearly go comatose. It's been happening a lot lately.
21:21:34 <broccoli> What insulin do you use?
21:21:34 <rust_collector4> I have a small blasting cabinet, and my 6hp compressor can sort of keep up. so unless you have a lot of time, not much smaller than that
21:21:34 <broccoli> there's a national shortage on fiasp in the US rn, that's what I was on
21:21:34 <DHess_US> I have had one of these for 20 years and it works great, but it would be too small for sandblasting, https://www.sears.com/craftsman-cm-compressor/p-A071960227
21:21:34 <EEVBot> [url] Captcha Check | www.sears.com
21:21:34 <arch> 6hp? wtf. ok so ill need a 240VAC line :|
21:21:34 <rust_collector4> that would help
21:21:34 <rust_collector4> with compressed air, there in no such thing as too much
21:21:34 <Nothing\> broccoli, i use insulin aspart (brand name Trurapi) as my fast acting insulin for meals. And insulin degludec (tresiba) as my long-acting insulin
21:21:34 <broccoli> Is there an air hose that's one level above pvc but not $$$
21:21:34 <broccoli> That compressor is also 50% duty cycle. If you're sandblasting you want something that can go nonstop without melting
21:21:34 <rust_collector4> if you are blasting a ship, yes
21:21:34 <broccoli> That's a good point
21:21:34 <broccoli> sandblasting I just think big (because I work on ships)
21:21:34 <arch> the wiring running to my garage is AWG2 aluminium wire
21:21:34 <broccoli> probably most of you are doing parts that will fit in your hand
21:21:34 <rust_collector4> 90% of my stuff is brake brackets, and such crap
21:21:34 <broccoli> I think I may pipe the hose with compressed air just because it's so handy for cleaning
21:21:34 <rust_collector4> yeh, blow all the crap upstairs, lol
21:21:34 <rust_collector4> ok, have fun. time for the rest of dinner
21:21:34 <arch> i can't remember off the top of my head, but i believe awg2 aluminium is limited to 70A at 60C. that wire is at least from the 1970s, so it's bound to be the old type of rating
21:21:34 <arch> vs the 90C rating column for modern wire
21:21:34 <arch> at most the most power i can draw is say 60A @ 240V, or 14.4kW
21:21:34 <arch> 60A breakers are standard value
21:21:34 <arch> although, right now, the breaker is a 40A... i'll have to update jbox wiring, that's the weakest link right now.
21:21:34 <Nothing\> i should make an LFSR
21:21:34 <Nothing\> i've always wanted to make an LFSR with christmas lights as the output
21:21:34 <Nothing\> lemme ask you guys something (for Android users)
21:21:34 <Nothing\> did any of you get an update in the last week?
21:21:34 <arch> doh. 75A at 60C column. i was close. https://i.imgur.com/Zooohmx.png
21:21:34 <Nothing\> come mr tally-man tally me bananas
