00:20:57 <Kuschelpony> Ice coffee
01:22:42 * steve30 is knackered
01:24:04 <Kuschelpony> what has happened?
01:25:58 <steve30> just been walking and biking in the hot sun
03:32:24 <K> holla Kuschelpony
03:32:32 <Kuschelpony> yes, K
03:37:19 <rc-garage> KK!
03:45:47 * xstevia awaits the moon
03:51:45 <rc-garage> aooooooo!
03:57:39 <K> rc-garage.
03:58:06 * arch moons xstevia with hairy cheeks
04:07:44 <rc-garage> oooh, the darkness
04:09:56 <xstevia> Its nice out here now
04:10:02 <xstevia> Cooled down as well

05:47:56 <K> flappin' in the breeze
05:48:35 <K> rc-garage, do you do pcbs by milling, at all? i have some memory talking about this with you
05:50:07 <rc-garage> no, not me. I might have given some of my opinions about it, but... i just either etch them, or cut with a knife, or hack away with a dremel
05:51:30 <rc-garage> if I had a normal mill, I might try it. but I think the main issue, is to hold the material flat
05:56:07 <rc-garage> the ones I have done, have been sort of...just because. and they would probably be better, if I just rubbed the copper off with a rock.
05:58:43 <rc-garage> are you thinking about a manual machine, or cnc thingies?
05:59:54 <rc-garage> a simple d bit works ok, if the material is of even thickness, and held flat and properly in place. But, as I no longet have access to a mill, meh
06:16:54 <steve30> I made some PCBs with a computer controlled milling machine once
06:16:59 <steve30> very long time ago though
06:18:54 <K> the trick is to make z-map, somehow, then the unevennes goes away, largely
06:21:04 <K> i sorta went off the deep end and wrote a PCB CAM app.
06:21:38 <K> well, "made" would be more proper to say, not wrote,
06:22:10 <rc-garage> yeh. that should work.
06:23:04 <K> it does and now i am afraid.
06:23:22 <rc-garage> what kind of spindle speeds do you have to play with?
06:24:23 <rc-garage> turn off the light, and it wont look so scary?
06:27:32 <K> https://imgur.com/a/a7RwPvt
06:27:43 <K> it is Carvera Air, so 12k spindle
06:29:55 <K> added a video too
06:29:59 <rc-garage> sounds fun. then you can run some more interesting cutters. you will figure that stuff out
06:30:11 <K> with sound!
06:30:57 <K> the crafty people have found/made 8mm collet for it, but eh, seems a bit much to ask from the motor
06:31:29 <K> i did some alu work with 6mm, was ok
06:33:00 <K> i've dabled with manual mill for some time, so not a completely new thing for me
06:33:04 <rc-garage> it is not like you would make super heavy cuts with that, so 6 seems like it would be plenty
06:33:10 <K> yeah
06:33:45 <K> more for precision than speed
06:33:50 <K> well, "precision"
06:34:17 <K> the pull-lever tool change is very nice to have though
06:35:03 <K> less risk of bumping/bending/breaking
06:35:25 <K> alas i am down to half of my 0.3mm drill bit stock, those break if you look at them wrong
06:36:48 <rc-garage> and I think my small endmills are small. I think my smallest one is 3, heh
06:37:03 <rc-garage> well, have fun with that. I am going to bed
06:37:55 <K> yaas.

12:59:33 <MrMobodies> They should introduce a safety measure to ban interference from Infotainment Systems.
12:59:43 <MrMobodies> and I mean advertising
13:00:25 <MrMobodies> I don't want a car with one of those I'd rather there be seperate systems that'd leave me alone.
13:01:51 <MrMobodies> unless it is an old car with no connection or ability to communicate with the manufacturer at the garage or on the road.
13:02:42 <MrMobodies> The Violin man has a Peugeot estate 2008 model I think.
13:03:07 <MrMobodies> He brought one of those after market infotainment systems from China and it does exactly what he wants it to do
13:03:25 <MrMobodies> and it fits in perfectly

13:04:40 <MrMobodies> Especially when they do a poor job and just slap some tablet in the center.
13:11:20 <MrMobodies> Somone gave me an old dell monitor, 1600 widescreen

13:11:40 <MrMobodies> Unfortunatelt a yellow line has appeared which disappears on pressing the lower part of the screen
13:11:58 <MrMobodies> and a CORN FLY recently got in it
13:12:18 <MrMobodies> I have 5 old HP 2065, all which still work which I don't often use anymore
13:12:26 <MrMobodies> never EVER had insects managed to get in there
13:12:40 <MrMobodies> I bet they saved money on the seals with the Dell monitor
13:13:14 <MrMobodies> and possibly used HOTBAR soldering than proper connectors where I am seeing this yellow vertical line

23:17:19 <MrMobodies> https://www.wandsworthguardian.co.uk/news/national/uk-today/26461656.six-10-put-off-improving-lives-feels-much-work/
23:17:20 <EEVBot> [url] Six in 10 put off improving their lives because it feels too much work | Wandsworth Times | www.wandsworthguardian.co.uk
23:18:43 <MrMobodies> What do they care about fitness routines.
23:18:53 <MrMobodies> This bit" This bit: "A spokesperson for Smart Energy GB said: “The research highlights how easy it can be to put off changes that could make a positive difference in our daily lives.
23:18:54 <MrMobodies> “While seven in 10 households now have a smart meter, some people haven’t yet taken up the offer of an installation."
23:19:20 <MrMobodies> I don't consider it a change unless they are talking about dynamic seasonal pricing.
23:20:19 <MrMobodies> What they fail to mention is why, privacy, I don't want these people from that body stick their head in our house realtime and recording a graphics where they can see what is switched on or foff.
23:21:07 <MrMobodies> and the ability to penalize customers who need to use the energy at certain times when they feel like it.
23:22:18 <MrMobodies> the way the article sounded to me, like that will solve ALL their problems
23:24:04 <MrMobodies> The way they are talking sounds to be like they are up to something, not now but in the future. Just like what happened with Thames Water in 2004 with the way they spoke about the fairest way to pay for things.
23:25:02 <MrMobodies> that same body I believe was one who put Albert Einstein on television and made that abomination do what they wanted him to do as if the public are stupid
23:29:22 <MrMobodies> that's it, maybe great now but time of use tarrifs are what I suspect they'd try and force everyone contract onto too when possible
