02:05:07 <Agripa3> arch, I have been using these for workbenches because they are heavier construction and mobile. https://workprotools.store/products/workpro-36-18-portable-welding-table-1200-lbs-load-capacity-nitriding-tabletop?variant=42892809437374
02:05:08 <EEVBot> [url] WORKPRO 36”×18” Portable Welding Table, 1200 lbs Load Capacity, Nitrid | workprotools.store
02:05:53 <Agripa3> If I want a shelf and pegboard attached to the bench, then I make one out of wood.
02:07:35 <arch> wtf, $200 for that. i need something that supports maybe 100 lbs tops. i do have a welding cart similar to that, but it's in the garage.
02:12:07 <arch> i need to put a couple, moderate/light weight tables side by side so i can work on my electrical projects again. not gonna haul the solid wood table from da bronx here
02:12:20 <arch> that thing weighs a good 250 lbs+
02:12:48 <arch> remnants of a bygone boomer era
02:13:32 <arch> same for the old solid wood wardrobe. nobody buys that stuff except the boomers
02:37:12 <Agripa3> I like those tables because they are sturdy, like for mounting benchtop tools, and the locking wheels make them easy to relocate even when loaded.

04:17:48 <MrMobodies> It is electric and has nothing to do with woodfire.
04:18:39 <MrMobodies> So how can they call it a "woodfire" and electric oven at the same time
04:21:52 <MrMobodies> Now here's a proper wood fired one

06:42:44 <arch> K, have you seen ID INVADED?
06:46:05 <K> nope
06:47:54 <K> but the mind-scape themed plots are not my cup
06:47:59 <K> along with time travel
07:00:46 <arch> so you didn't like Psycho Pass (first season)?
07:03:13 <Ampera> K, do you like shoujo villainess anime?
07:03:26 <Ampera> I'm watching https://myanimelist.net/anime/38555/Otome_Game_no_Hametsu_Flag_shika_Nai_Akuyaku_Reijou_ni_Tensei_shiteshimatta and it's really good

07:03:32 <Ampera> I was also watching I'm in Love with the Villainess and loved it

07:15:17 <K> Ampera, dunno, premise seems ok
07:15:25 <K> ima keep the tab open
07:15:36 <K> Psycho-Pass was ok
07:15:50 <Ampera> ID: Invaded is pretty good, but it's definitely more mindscapey than psycho-pass
07:15:53 <Ampera> far less cyberpunk dystopia
08:11:43 <Agripa3> arch, I know of alternative ways but I would not say they are cheaper.
08:12:05 <Agripa3> Attach lugs to each cable end and then bolt the lugs together.
08:12:32 <Agripa3> It *is* possible to solder split cables, but the process is pretty involved.
08:12:38 <Agripa3> err, solder splice
08:12:52 <Agripa3> I did it on my pickup when I had to add extensions to the battery cables.
08:14:28 <Agripa3> To solder splice large diameter cables, you strip the ends, lay them parallel, wrap them with bus bar wire, and then solder.

08:55:38 <MrMobodies> I have never heard of such a word before.
08:57:09 <MrMobodies> The seats on some of these trains are so small I was forced to spread out my legs and I found if it is packed and I put them straight and I nearly had people trip up on me trying to get out
08:57:53 <MrMobodies> and I have seen women doing it too not just men
08:58:04 <MrMobodies> at no fault of their own
08:58:28 <MrMobodies> Do you think that article may be sexist?
09:00:47 <MrMobodies> On trains where seats are in rows, instead of lined up against the windows I never had much of that problem where legs get in the way no matter if they are spreaded r not.

09:28:25 <arch> WRONG. for splices, use something like this and a hydraulic crimp tool: https://www.amazon.com/SVAAR-AWG-Bare-Pure-Copper/dp/B0CFLTDNX8

09:28:42 <arch> don't even bother with the chinese $50 hydraulic crimpers. those suck
09:29:02 <arch> get this and you are set for LIFE: https://temcoindustrial.com/th0005-v2-0-hydraulic-cable-lug-crimper-11-us-ton-10-awg-to-600-mcm-electrical-terminal-cable-wire-tool-kit-with-32-die-sets/

09:29:10 <Agripa3> crimp connections are fine, if you have a crimper
09:29:23 <Agripa3> and a bad crimp connection is a real problem
09:29:52 <arch> exactly, that's why pay the $160 and get the temco crimper instead of the chinese $50 crimper. tbh, both are chinese, but this one's better chinese quality
09:30:57 <arch> good tools are an asset. you won't ever go wrong paying more money for an excellent tool
09:32:28 <arch> oh sorry, i got the context of the conversation wrong. i see you were responding to my previous question. i thought you were telling someone else to solder connections
09:33:20 <arch> im not a fan of soldering large gauge wires tbh. i've done it for smaller gauge, like up to 14awg, but nothing bigger than that
09:33:27 Quit: steve30 ([email protected]) Quit: <Baljem> steve30: by the way, I had the most bizarre dream the other day that someone came in here and seriously flipped their shit over your quit message and why aren't the ops /doing/ something about it
09:33:34 <arch> i would buy polaris lugs before i even think of soldering anything
09:34:01 <arch> or wagos for anything up to 10awg
09:35:01 <electrohead> hire me for your soldering
09:35:03 <electrohead> I got you
09:35:05 <electrohead> <3
09:35:36 <arch> a hired solderer. that's like a mercenary, but for electronics repair.
09:37:14 <electrohead> straight up mob stuff <3

09:38:17 <arch> the watch order is fucky
09:38:33 <arch> i would recommend watching it in story order instead of whatever the fuck order they decided to publish it
09:38:40 <arch> let me find the story order...
09:39:50 <arch> "The chronological order of the episodes is as follows: 10-7-8-5-6-1-2-9-11-12-3-4. This is the order in which I’d recommend watching"

10:34:48 <EEVBot> [url] Girl faces 12-match ban from her football team for asking adult transgender opponent: 'Are you a man?' | Daily Mail Online | www.dailymail.co.uk
10:35:10 <Halcyon> What a load of shit
10:35:11 <electrohead> Ampera: are you a man?
10:35:12 <MrMobodies> I don't often see matches between men and women
10:35:23 <Halcyon> So you're not allowed to even ask anymore?
10:36:23 <MrMobodies> they could start letting men play against the women if they are allowing trans to play.
10:36:29 <MrMobodies> let everyone in
10:36:47 <Halcyon> That would probably the most sensible solution.
10:36:59 <MrMobodies> the girl said she dropped it an seems confused and got approval for her confusion
10:37:17 <MrMobodies> so she seemed genuinely confused
10:37:53 <Halcyon> The problem these days is anyone can identify as anything. You can be a pineapple if you want (doesn't make it so, but it's just a label).
10:38:00 <MrMobodies> why couldn't they just send some to mediate between the two
10:38:12 <Halcyon> That being said, if you're going to be silly about it, you don't have the right to make someone else feel bad about asking
10:40:09 <MrMobodies> what's wrong with the trans saying "yes I have a beared but I converted from a man to a lady"
10:40:17 <Halcyon> Nothing
10:40:25 <MrMobodies> rather than the trans oing off and complaining
10:40:35 <Halcyon> But some people are assholes and can't help but make trouble for others
10:40:55 <Halcyon> It's like these morons you see on Tiktok who are already recording in restaurants etc... just to pick a fight
10:40:55 <MrMobodies> aaaah, like on the forums, trolling.
10:41:34 <MrMobodies> they like what they get out of causing trouble when they see an opportunity
10:41:42 <Halcyon> Yup
10:42:41 <Halcyon> There's an infamous troll on social media who is trans, who kicks up a stink when someone calls them "sir". To be fair, it's entirely easy to make that mistake based on appearance alone. The problem is, she just happens to already have her phone out recording.
10:42:46 <Halcyon> That's not right.
10:44:51 <MrMobodies> Well I hope they drop the charges at some point
10:46:14 <MrMobodies> if she kicked him in the willy and I hear that hurts
10:46:23 <MrMobodies> she wouldn't need to ask
10:46:32 <MrMobodies> I wonder if the charge would be less
10:46:53 <Halcyon> Hahahah probably
10:46:57 <MrMobodies> I mean less serious than the trans whatever
10:50:47 <MrMobodies> So that's an idea, to identify if someone is a man or not without offending these trolls who may happen to dress up as a trans, simply kick them in the willy and if they yell in pain that answers the question.
10:51:25 <MrMobodies> but then they'd be charged with battery for battery... that's a joke
10:53:49 <Halcyon> Anyway, the world is just getting stupid
10:54:00 <Halcyon> I honestly think people are just becoming dumber and more entitled.
