<GreeningGalaxy> UmbralRaptor or whitequark or bofh_ - none of you would happen to be familiar with a connector that looks like SHV but has a really really long (like 4-5 cm) tube surrounding the pin, would you?
<GreeningGalaxy> it has the same pin direction as SHV (inverted from BNC) and looks similar to SHV in most ways, it's just...long
<GreeningGalaxy> that one took me a minute to process
<GreeningGalaxy> I only have seen that connector in one place, on a cable whose other end is permanently attached to some big laser. I suppose it could be proprietary.
<GreeningGalaxy> I have yet to find something for it to fit into even, although it's not hard to imagine what the other end would look like.
* UmbralRaptor is not familiar, sorry.
<UmbralRaptor> whitequark: for unclear reasons I'm reminded of seders I attended as a kid.

<UmbralRaptor> GreeningGalaxy: I have mentioned the 2 reasons you want to hang around postdocs, right?
<GreeningGalaxy> I don't think so?
<UmbralRaptor> 1) usually they're awesome people (smart+funny). 2) sometimes you're worried that they'll kill themselves.
<GreeningGalaxy> could've guessed 1), but 2)? eek

<UmbralRaptor> http://brand.missouristate.edu/colors.htm <- is it bad that I'm using this for my research poster?
<UmbralRaptor> egg|zzz|egg: eek
<egg|zzz|egg> UmbralRaptor: no, what's bad is that they're giving you rgb values without a colour space (but at least they're giving you pantone numbers, so there's that)
<UmbralRaptor> color space is whatever monitors are calibrated to?
<UmbralRaptor> Pantone numbers require $$$ for swatches.
<SnoopJeDi> color space is a silly place
<Iskierka> there's a few different colour spaces that are standard for monitors. Adobe's seem popular
<Iskierka> is also $$$ but best option is really a colorimeter
* egg|zzz|egg wonders whether whitequark's hand differ wildly in colours or whether the colorimetry is weird

<whitequark> I had another photo of the book in the median plane but it was less focused
<egg|zzz|egg> median plane?
<whitequark> erm
<whitequark> it's an anatomical term
<whitequark> although perhaps not the most appropriate one, been a while
<whitequark> "lateral view" might be a better way to put it
<egg|zzz|egg> whitequark: but then books are cute little animals
* egg|zzz|egg pets a book
<whitequark> books already have spines
<whitequark> so they're chordata, at least
<UmbralRaptor> egg|zzz|egg: get your hands off of those lungs!

<egg|zzz|egg> whitequark: also I guess I'd agree with wanting a piece of glass to look at spiders in general, but pholcids are fine if they keep to the ceiling
<egg|zzz|egg> apparently there are none right now, but sometimes I have some above my bed

<egg|zzz|egg> for the moment, lots of onboarding presentations; started looking at codelabs, they're fun; lots of in-house tooling, things have to scale madly

<egg|phone|egg> UmbralRaptor: did any interpret that as cluster the mission?
<bofh_> GreeningGalaxy: so the SHV connector has a plastic tube around the center pin, tho it usually doesn't protrude much beyond the edge of the connector.
<bofh_> Is it similar in inner radius to a BNC connector or larger or smaller?
<UmbralRaptor> egg|phone|egg: they did not
