04:00.33 joevalleyfield and how is that different than the 2004 exit polls??
04:00.48 Twingy so that basically means 45% of americans are beyond the capacity to do trivial thinking

04:13.17 Twingy sounds like me and this buddha guy would get along
04:13.27 Twingy hehehe
04:13.32 Twingy I'm out of propane though
04:13.38 Twingy so I'd have to borrow their propane too
04:14.17 pra5ad how exactly are u making the crucible?
04:14.19 pra5ad or are u buying one
04:14.26 Twingy gonna make one outta steel
04:14.32 Twingy and weld a handle onto it
04:14.41 Twingy probly 1 meter long
04:15.15 ``Erik man, this greenfield shit is fucked up
04:15.24 Twingy so'z it can hold about 64 cm^3 of aluminum
04:15.31 pra5ad what are the melting points of steel and alum?
04:15.37 Twingy high and low
04:15.42 pra5ad ?
04:16.03 Twingy ~1500 to 650
04:16.05 ibot inf
04:16.16 Twingy ~1500 to 1600
04:16.18 ibot inf
04:16.22 Twingy ~inf to NaN
04:16.31 Twingy haha, crashed it
04:16.32 Twingy fucker
04:16.43 pra5ad ceramic is too hard?
04:16.52 Twingy cermic is not very weldable o.O
04:17.02 pra5ad :(
04:17.54 Twingy more than likely I'll buy a large diameter pipe
04:18.01 Twingy cut a V into the lip
04:18.23 Twingy and weld on a V lip
04:18.42 Twingy at 90 degree to the handle
04:18.48 Twingy then I can just rotate it into the casting
04:20.34 Twingy I'm thinking we might be able to build some of the parts for the bot out of the aluminum
04:20.42 Twingy like internals and stuff
04:20.53 Twingy to save the pricey steel for armor
04:21.01 Twingy plus keeping the bot as light as possible
04:21.58 CIA-5 BRL-CAD: 03brlcad * 10brlcad/ (README configure.ac ChangeLog include/config_win.h): merge rel-7-6-branch to HEAD to update rev. to 7.6.3
04:22.35 pra5ad what? we're not using chobum for armor?
04:22.54 Twingy hey
04:22.59 Twingy if you make it...
04:23.05 Twingy I'll even settle for titanium

10:46.48 AchiestDragon theres other places that do the same sort of thing also
10:53.10 AchiestDragon as to recycleing cans , the problem you will have with a furnice is that the aluminum cans tend to evaporate as the aluminium is too thin , you will need to get lots and compress them into blocks
10:53.22 AchiestDragon like a car crusher does

14:02.26 Twingy_ *shrug* I got all me proggie source, I I think all I had in that directory was and old checkout of brlcad
14:03.23 ``Erik then why bother?
14:03.43 Twingy_ dunno if there was something else there I'm nothinking of
14:04.03 Twingy_ I'll be awake in about 4 hours
14:04.07 Twingy_ ask me then :)
14:06.19 ``Erik mmm, donuts
14:07.12 Twingy_ mmm, torus
14:07.27 archivist_ hmm dunkin donuts, a good excuse to come to america
14:10.17 ``Erik ew
14:11.56 ``Erik uh oh, mike g is talking to someone about adrt
14:14.53 Twingy_ I guess it's time to rename it again
14:14.58 ``Erik meh, some software got deinstalled, that was the issue :(
14:26.02 Twingy_ cool 1% done
14:26.21 ``Erik woohoo
14:26.31 ``Erik by crunching the numbers? or are you using bar?
14:49.57 Twingy_ 12 of 833 GB
14:50.25 Twingy_ this will take about a week?
14:51.54 ``Erik uhmmmmm
14:52.05 ``Erik 883 gb compressed, and you have 12 uncompressed gigs out of it?
14:52.14 Twingy_ yah
14:52.16 ``Erik (the final file should be more like 1.6tb I think)
14:52.22 Twingy_ ah
14:52.26 Twingy_ so 2 weeks
14:52.34 ``Erik yeah
14:52.40 ``Erik took about a month to compress I think
14:52.45 Twingy_ k
14:52.54 Twingy_ that's non-optimal back up
14:53.03 ``Erik (you're not using bunzip2 in a way that'll unlink the compressed file, are you?)
14:53.04 ``Erik I know
14:53.13 Twingy_ I typed bunzip2 file
14:53.20 ``Erik I'm not sure what'd be better... I'm tempted to use gzip instead, it's quicker
14:53.27 ``Erik uhmmmm, that's destructive
14:53.42 Twingy_ you wanna do it then?
14:53.55 ``Erik the decompression? sure *shurg*
14:53.58 Twingy_ you setup the backup doohicky
14:54.04 Twingy_ okay, I'll cancel
14:54.22 Twingy_ canceled
14:57.53 Twingy_ I'm thinking that if bill lost a file
14:58.00 Twingy_ he'd not be so flexible with 2 weeks to get it
15:00.00 ``Erik well, if he 'lost a file', it'd take a day or two, because we could do a partial recovery on just the .2 or .3 file
15:00.10 Twingy_ ah
15:00.22 Twingy_ even the .2's are kind ahefty
15:00.33 ``Erik losting a whole directory, however, is... rough
15:01.02 Twingy_ I'm definetly gonna have a tarball of my stuff made on the weekends
15:01.07 ``Erik okie
15:01.19 Twingy_ probly over nfs on my local box
15:01.33 ``Erik because of how big the file system is, there is no such thing as a "fast" recovery :(
15:01.45 Twingy_ for a file system, sure
15:02.10 Twingy_ I think the whole level N backuping is overkill *shrug*
15:02.33 Twingy_ 99% of the time the person lost something and they want it back
15:03.32 ``Erik the N level is to make things fast and use less space
15:04.02 Twingy_ all the n's combined uses alot more space than just making a tarball of everyone's junk on the weekends *shrug*
15:04.12 ``Erik um
15:04.28 Twingy_ plus we wouldn't have to use compression, which is the big killer
15:04.28 ``Erik our total consumption is like 2.5tb? weekend #2 would blow by that
15:04.43 Twingy_ I'm talking about 1 file per person
15:04.52 ``Erik weekend number 2 without compression would put us over 3tb
15:04.57 Twingy_ no weekend #2
15:05.00 ``Erik yeah, but we'd have a bunch of big files
15:05.07 Twingy_ huh?
15:05.12 Twingy_ no bigger than what we got now
15:05.18 Twingy_ my directory is like 70GB
15:05.25 ``Erik heh, mines not
15:05.29 Twingy_ I'd have a 70GB tarball of my directory as old as "last weekend"
15:05.43 Twingy_ take 10 minutes to uncompress
15:05.48 Twingy_ err
15:05.49 Twingy_ untar
15:05.59 Twingy_ instead of 2 weeks
15:06.08 ``Erik mebbe, but if you wrote a file on monday, and whacked it this morning?
15:06.09 ``Erik :)
15:06.15 Twingy_ I'd have something
15:06.32 Twingy_ losing 1 day of work is moot
15:06.39 joevalleyfield how about no compression and no tarballs
15:06.41 Twingy_ losing 2 years of work is not
15:06.46 ``Erik o.O
15:06.53 joevalleyfield google rsync backup
15:06.58 ``Erik uhhhh
15:07.05 Twingy_ heh
15:07.10 Twingy_ that's terribly amusing
15:07.37 ``Erik I'm not about to go through security to have every single file I ever touch or modify marked for public release, sorry
15:07.48 joevalleyfield no no
15:07.53 joevalleyfield don't rsync to google
15:08.05 joevalleyfield lookup "rsync backup" on google
15:08.15 Twingy_ we know what rsync is
15:08.19 joevalleyfield right
15:08.26 Twingy_ I implemented an rsync backup years ago
15:08.38 Twingy_ 'sides
15:08.40 joevalleyfield so why the need for tarballs?
15:08.45 Twingy_ lee is the one that wants this incremental junk
15:08.50 Twingy_ because "it's the way we've done things"
15:09.01 Twingy_ and clearly the "wahy we've done things" is the best way
15:09.05 ``Erik dump/restore has some advantages
15:09.11 Twingy_ otherwise we wouldn't have 80's state of the art software
15:09.13 Twingy_ :)
15:09.21 Twingy_ yes it does
15:09.21 ``Erik heh
15:09.23 Twingy_ but I'm just ranting
15:09.56 ``Erik because the architects and requirements people only have experience with bad 70's style
15:09.56 ``Erik :(
15:09.56 Twingy_ I got you beat
15:10.01 Twingy_ I'm working on 90's state of the art
15:10.18 Twingy_ :P
15:10.52 ``Erik we should probably go to get there by 11:30
15:10.57 ``Erik we have to be back by 1 or so
15:11.02 Twingy_ for wwhat?
15:11.06 ``Erik jasons thing
15:11.10 ``Erik and the class thing
15:11.12 Twingy_ <PROTECTED>
15:11.17 Twingy_ oh, I'm not gonna go
15:11.23 Twingy_ I got too much stuff to get done
