12:41.08 ``Erik hm, I'll have to tell john about this 'ross machining' place, they look like they may be exactly the help he needs for his audi
12:41.30 ``Erik looks like race gas is gonna require a trip :/
12:51.45 dtidrow race gas? the real stuff?
12:53.03 ``Erik I was just looking for 100 octane
12:53.12 dtidrow there's one place near work that still sells it - 110 octane for the old musclecars with high-compression motors
12:53.14 ``Erik not 110 or alcohol or anything :)
12:53.32 ``Erik is that down in the dc area?
12:53.33 dtidrow god-awful expensive - >$6/gal
12:53.41 ``Erik yeah, 7.50 was the going price for the 100
12:53.57 dtidrow nah, I'm S.E. MI now
12:54.14 dtidrow back home, basically :-)
12:54.21 ``Erik ah, 'k, I was kinda hoping there was one near me :) I'd either have to drive down into bmore or up into cecil by the drag way
12:55.04 ``Erik <-- been thinking about building a car again, something roughly similar to an ariel atom :/
12:55.48 dtidrow ariel atom => dune buggy with giant motor ;-)
12:55.54 ``Erik small motor!
12:55.59 ``Erik little 4cyl toyota and honda engines
12:56.10 dtidrow not compared to the old VW ones
12:56.11 ``Erik but no weight :D and the suspension and frame are for track, not offroad :D
12:56.25 ``Erik no, not 1.4l, usually 2l
12:56.37 dtidrow the US-built Atoms used Ecotecs
12:56.49 ``Erik but the old vw dune buggy was basically a bug with a different body...
12:56.55 ``Erik no tuning for performance
12:57.46 dtidrow trust me, I'm not dissing the Atom - would be loads of fun, as long as it's not raining
12:57.49 ``Erik huh, and more hp
12:57.59 ``Erik yeah, ti'd be a track car, not a daily driver
12:58.23 dtidrow deadly on the track, too
12:58.32 ``Erik odd, they bumped up the hp and weight for the american version, just like they did on the lotus elise
12:58.57 ``Erik hey, shitheads, not all of us americans want an effin 'lead sled'! *shakes fist*
12:59.13 ``Erik :D
12:59.41 dtidrow probably comes from all the extra crap they have to put on to meet safety and emissions regs :-(
13:00.14 ``Erik hrm, EU safety is more stringent than US law, the emissions are a bitch, though
13:00.34 ``Erik with the elise, they used a bigger heavier engine with more hp and added crap like a radio and a/c
13:00.54 ``Erik 130 -> 190 hp, plus 'niceities', that's all
13:01.12 dtidrow well, you need that kind of stuff for a daily driver
13:01.28 ``Erik I d'no, I went years driving a pickup with no a/c and no radio
13:01.33 dtidrow toss all that for a track day car
13:02.01 ``Erik bought it north of seattle, ya just don't get a/c up there... put in a nice stereo and got it stolen, so *shrug* :)
13:02.22 ``Erik which was odd, since the box was cut to fit the truck, it wouldn't have been very useful in another vehicle
13:02.25 ``Erik for the sub
13:02.40 dtidrow well, okay - you don't _need_ that stuff, but it sure is nice to have, esp. A/C on hot summer days
13:02.48 ``Erik heh
13:03.06 ``Erik even in my car with the a/c, I only turn it on of it's hot and raining... windows open, man :D
13:03.41 ``Erik and we've been having some 90+ days here lately O.o
13:03.49 dtidrow yeah, been avoiding it as much as possible in my car - it's a dog without it running, totally pathetic with
13:04.22 ``Erik whatcha driving? (and I imagine if you get a 240, removing the ac all together would be high on the list to make it track ready)
13:04.44 dtidrow I wish it were a 240 - '02 Saturn SC2
13:04.56 dtidrow looks nice, but no real balls
13:05.21 ``Erik cool, good mileage though, right?
13:05.25 dtidrow for new(er) cars, I'd get a Sky Redline
13:05.59 dtidrow eh, okay mileage - it's got 100k+ miles on it, and mostly city driving
13:06.06 dtidrow ~27-28mpg
13:06.29 ``Erik hm, I have my performance car, want to get a truck for winter and hauling... if I were to pick right now, I think the vw tdi series is awfully attractive
13:07.40 ``Erik heh, I'm getting 22-23 in my m3 never going on interstates O.o I call it mixed driving, but it's probably more light city than anything else :)
13:08.31 dtidrow oh, crap - gotta go get ready for church, later all...
13:08.37 ``Erik hasta

18:38.03 yukonbob I've got a hypothetical q: re: mitering -- could I use typical CSG operations to determin miter for joining tubes (for example) and then somehow "unroll" a tube in question to see it's miter cut, as if it were laid flat?
18:39.26 yukonbob As I think, would be a custom rayshooting mechanism? measuring distances around circumference from a fixed Z, then plotting on cartesian x,y graph?

21:28.28 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: 03johnranderson * r39628 10/brlcad/trunk/src/librt/primitives/pipe/pipe.c:
21:28.28 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: tessellate_pipe_bend() was not able to handle cases where the bend radius
21:28.29 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: equals the outer radius of the pipe. The problem was that such a situation
21:28.29 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: produces degenerate faces. The fix was to add a vertex tree and a vertex
21:28.30 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: array to help in identifying and skipping the degenerate faces.
21:28.30 CIA-42 BRL-CAD: This fixes bug ID#3013742.
