  2. @scribus I'll build you a full mascot costume and we'll call you Secretary of Pants Extermination and Classificator of Irritating or Annoying Legwear.

    SPECIAL for short.

  3. Shower thought

    What if I started my own country and printed some money, got some oversea's investors and try to run it the best I can for a couple months. Then instead of printing more money ( and causing inflation ) I would do the opposite. Unprint money, so that the value of the money I would have goes up EXTREMELY fast. Then go to Amazon.com and buy myself a 1 million dollar gift card.

    Too bad that will never work. Amazon does not have 1 million dollar gift cards. I blame the Towel for ruining my plans yet again.

    I would also upload a picture of someone but I am sure we all know who or what he looks like

    No it is not Skarr from Evil Con Carne, I knew you would click this Adiwan !

  7. Well, that newest ElectroBoom video pretty much did everything I was planning to do on a later date when I felt better.

    I guess I am going to mix it up with just 1 Peltier device, a big heat sink, a small heat sink, a cheap cooling box from a cheap outlet ( Aldi ? Action ? Big Bazar ? ) a temperature triggered relay on an IC without documentation and ... then later figure out whether It functions better as Ice-Cube-box or Bread-Thaw-Box.

    Only forseeable challgenge : Find a way to cap out a wall adapter or power source so it never asks more than 1.2 Amps.

  8. Being sick at home having nothing to do ( except say hi to the proverbial angels and demons on your shoulder, if you have a vivid imagination ) allows for me to find the time to dig DEEP and remember stuff I burried and forgot somewhere.

    See here, a webcomic I loved some 13 years ago

    Apparently it is STILL being updated like once per 2 days, wow.

  9. @scribus Oh, yeah, I should still watch that movie.

  10. Stupid idea ( I am full of em )

    I watched http://rainbowdash.net/url/875063 ( and http://rainbowdash.net/url/875064 before that )

    What if I were to use a Wimshurst machine to effectively power these "zombie led lights" ?

    One step further, use a mini sterling engine powered by a tea-light to power the Wimshurst macine. Problem will be fine-tuning the rotational force.

    But I might make an assembly of fire-powered-light that way :D

  12. @thismightbeauser the car I drove was a Mercedes Sprinter. It was fairly OK to drive but in tight curves I occasionally touched the curb with the rear tyre.

  13. @drinkingpony I have access to an industrial shop vac but it is way too strong and loud. It will suck out everything off the table.

    Monday, 12-Aug-19 09:11:34 UTC from web in context
  14. @adiwan OHHH. Now I see, I think. I still would not personally use my vacuum cleaner ( Lets call him Henry ) to suck out CNC parts, even if pre-filtered, because I think that would be really terrible for Henry.

    And my Henry is certified-pre-exploded. so one would think I would care less about my Henry.

    And now I said Henry so many times the word has gone weird on me

    Monday, 12-Aug-19 09:06:11 UTC from web in context
  15. @drinkingpony with "vacuum " I mean vacuum cleaner, the household device. I was sloppy with my language

    Monday, 12-Aug-19 06:48:15 UTC from web in context
  16. @adiwan Yeah that is why it would make NO sense. So what are you planning ?

    I mean you probably told already but probably did not understand it. I mean, pre-filter for a vacuum that is not a vacuum ?

    Monday, 12-Aug-19 06:43:43 UTC from web in context
  17. @drinkingpony I don't want my CNC in a vacuum. There would be no pressure difference to suck out the shavings. Also the motors would heat up.

  18. @scribus Funny this conversation should be happening since we're two days away from celebrating the fifth anniversary of the incident in question

    Sunday, 11-Aug-19 18:17:22 UTC from web in context
  19. @adiwan Sounds to me like you want to CNC in a vacuum/LPE. But I can not figure out why you would want to do that.

  20. Well, here are 2 pictures of Jay Bauman side by side, one from 2012, the other from 2015.

    Not sure if that is a boss-transformation, or as one of my friends joked, the uptake of alcohol intake.

    Well, I know what horse I am going to bet on. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875061

  21. I'm gonna 3D print a cyclone filter and it'll take about 3 days and about 500g PETG plastic. Oh boy. I hope nothing fails during that time. That filter will be a pre-filter for my vacuum in order to get my CNC shavings there before it gets into my vacuum. I'll plan to cut mostly wood and acrylic which will most likely not damage anything but it'll be a safety guard. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2829268

  22. No little Timmy, you must not laugh at that joke, it was made by [insert group of people] and they are [insert derogatory term]

    Little Timmy : "But that joke was actually funny"

    This is actually something I saw playing out while chilling in the park. Humans confuse the hell out of me sometimes.

  24. @tiff About 5 hours ago I did not know who he was. Right now I think I know more than the average person, stopping just short of starting to wear a tin-foil wapped Collander/strainer/big-ass-sifter.

    Do I think my life has been enriched in any way ? Not at all. Heck it might just be worse.

    I think he tried to play real-life as I play MineCraft. Thinking about 20 MooShrooms and a patch full of wheat. I am ignoring a whole lot, but it is hard to type something funny sometimes. Flashes a Creative Licence

  28. @scribus alright, that was awesome.

  29. @scribus Both series have a similar theme and premise and they achieve almost the same mood, yet they are different and unique nonetheless.

  30. @drinkingpony It is a mini series that aired on Cartoon Network. It's about two boys (two brothers) who are transported into a weird and eerie old-time-ish fantastical world in the woods and they try to get back home. It's only 10 episodes long, so it's worth a binge.
