<SilverFox> so elon musk asked a question: "Why is there no flat mars society?"
<SilverFox> FlatEarthSociety has responded with: "Unlike the Earth, Mars has been observed to be round."
<SilverFox> so lets say I have a dual-boot tablet, windows 10 and Android. If I have an SD card, how can I split it in half so that both os's can see their respective halves?

<Greys> SilverFox, there's a great flearther forum thread where somebody asks if mars is flat and two factions come out; one of which states "nobody is arguing that everything is flat" and the other states "there are no spherical astronomical objects"
<Greys> I haven't found it because google is racist against pro-flat-earther results
dustinm` has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<Greys> so, it's not really worth distputing that we're all for net neutrality; but how about search result neutrality?
<Greys> is it ok for google to be surpressing anti-intellectual and hateful counterculture results?
dustinm` has joined #kspmodders
<Greys> say tomorrow google puts out a press release "we're going to start actively excluding alt-right and white supremacy results from searches"
<Greys> I bet if google decided to block a given human, we'd all forget about them within a year
<SilverFox> Greys, I have 2 13HP motors, how do I combine them to get ~26HP output
<Greys> what are they going to do?
<SilverFox> in planes its easy, in cars, you cant do the same thing
<Greys> skateboard? put one motter on each rear wheel
<Greys> if you want to drive a normal car you'd probably want to use a differential to combine them
<Greys> differentials sum or divide
<Greys> really you could say they always sum, but the perspective changes
<Greys> in a typical rear axle configuration the differential sums the traction force from both rear wheels, and allows the axle to address them both as a single value
<SilverFox> I want mutli-input one output to the uhhh input shaft of what the gas motor would've attached to
<Greys> the advantage of running your two motors into a differential, over an axle, into another differential, to the wheels; is that you won't have to balance the motors dynamically or deal with differential steering
<SilverFox> I just want to have a group of motors that sum always so that it doesnt matter if I turn or whatever, I dont want to come to a halt
<Greys> yep
<SilverFox> dividing sounds bad when you have lower horsepower motors
<Greys> you're dividing the resistance among the motors
<SilverFox> say that differently
<kmath> YouTube - Mechanical Computer (All Parts) - Basic Mechanisms In Fire Control Computers
<FoxBot9000> yt: Mechanical Computer (All Parts) - Basic Mechanisms In Fire Control Computers | Excelsior10000
<Greys> the distribution of force is just a kind of math
<Greys> math is just a kind of logic
<SilverFox> right
<SilverFox> but I just need a mechanism where I can move a car with a series of cheaper motors
<Greys> well, if you get a really small car, you can probably get away with 60~90hp
<Greys> total of course
<Greys> but you're going to need a rear wheel drive vehicle to modify
<SilverFox> why rear-wheel?
<SilverFox> im sure you can just apply the same shit to FWD
<Greys> front wheel drive vehicles by-in-large use trans-axles, that are integrated into the engine
<Greys> you'd have to rebuild entire front end from scratch, and that means building a custom steerable drive axle
<Greys> if it's a rear wheel drive car, then you can remove the engine and attach the axle to your drive system
<SilverFox> I also need to find high horsepower electric motors
<SilverFox> because the highest I know of is like, 13hp
<Greys> so the basic plan would be to get said light weight rear wheel drive car, remove the engine, find a really short differential axle, and put one motor on each end
<Greys> if you can find a sufficienly short differential axle you could totally have a binary tree and put in 4 motors; it may even be equal or lighter weight than the engine was
<SilverFox> man I want a tesla
<Greys> now, it is important to address that most electric cars still have a transmission
<Greys> your car will work, but it'll very much be constrained by the power band of your motors, and it may not be practical for all roads
<Greys> the good motors are generally much stronger at higher RPMs, so transmissions are used to let the engine spin faster at low speeds to get the torque up; your acceleration without a transmission is probably going to suck
<Greys> well, acceleration from zero
<Greys> even a basic fixed gear ratio will probably make it substantially more drivable
<SilverFox> phablets are stupid
<Greys> are they still a thing?
<Greys> I buy 5.5" phones, and I know there are some 6" phones, but I haven't heard that word in years
<SilverFox> I have the S8+, which is like, 5.8"?
<SilverFox> or is it 6"?
<SilverFox> neat for watching videos on
<SilverFox> but the bottom facing speakers suck
<Greys> it's definitely bigger than mine
<Greys> yea
<Greys> most normal grips on my U11 block the speaker, it's better sounding but not as loud as my 816, but I just can't use it
<Greys> I hope in five years we've gotten over the whole "make it just a screen you hold" idea, it's genuinely difficult to set my phone down without touching something that turns the screen on
<SilverFox> maybe you just have stupidly big hands
<SilverFox> get a bigger phone
<Greys> I have a bigger phone
<SilverFox> maybe a phablet
<SilverFox> you set it down, what turns it on?
<SilverFox> also that looks terrible
<Greys> anything within a centimeter of the bottom; anything on the screen area that interprets as a double tap, it's got the squeeze thing which is glorious most of the time; it's got camera thingies
<Greys> if it had enough friction to hold it by only the back it'd be great, but the fucker's an icecube
<SilverFox> well, do I have the case for you
<Greys> I wish
<Greys> dbrand has chosen not to support the U11
<SilverFox> noice
<Greys> I have emails of them saying so
<SilverFox> not worthy
<Greys> I suspect it's the U Ultra's fault
<Greys> the U11 is a great phone, but immediately before it HTC put out like five devices that weren't good and nobody bought
<SilverFox> look at this fucking motor
<SilverFox> 150cc
<SilverFox> 9800W
<Greys> ;wa 9800W to HP
<kmath> Greys: convert 9800 W (watts) to horsepower: 13.14 hp (horsepower)
<SilverFox> 13hp
<Greys> there's a lot of things that'll be good for, a full size car isn't one of them
<SilverFox> dude made a plane with two of them
<Greys> keep in mind the definition of a moped contains that it can't have more than 50HP
<SilverFox> it's the best electric motor I've seen available to buy so far
<Greys> that motor couldn't drive this
<SilverFox> thanks tips
<Greys> have you seen the scotish guy who 3D prints ebike stuff?
<SilverFox> no
<Greys> he's got a belt design with two motors that runs pretty well, but a bike with a person on it weighs almost half as much as a moped with a person on it
<SilverFox> if I could moped 100km/h that'd be sick
<kmath> YouTube - DIY Electric Bike V2
<FoxBot9000> yt: DIY Electric Bike V2 | Tom Stanton
<Greys> I'm not really into it but he does a good job
<SilverFox> that's really gross sounding
<Greys> is there a service like shapeway that 3D prints in metal but has better tolerances?
<Greys> I got a thing but the tolerances would be like 50 thou for something that needs to be more like 2 thou
<SilverFox> you need <2 thou tolerance?
<Greys> I mean, no, I need 1.2 micron tolerances, but I have alternate methods
<SilverFox> if you want those tolerances you need resin
<SilverFox> idk of any commerical process that offers that
<Greys> their resin would be 20 thou tolerances
<SilverFox> fuck off with your thou
<Greys> they're good size units for the topic
<Greys> ;wa 20 thou to mm
<kmath> Greys: convert 20 thous to millimeters: 0.508 mm (millimeters)
<Greys> ;wa 1.2 micron to mm
<kmath> Greys: convert 1.2 microns to millimeters: 0.0012 mm (millimeters)
<SilverFox> ;wa 20 thou to micron
<kmath> SilverFox: convert 20 thous to microns: 508 microns
<SilverFox> mmkay
<Greys> mmmm, nope
<Greys> that's teh wrong microns
<Greys> ;wa .12 thou to mm
<kmath> Greys: convert 0.12 thous to millimeters: 0.00305 mm (millimeters)
<Greys> press fits are a bitch
<SilverFox> so I can buy a 3d printer for like, 200$ that has print tolerances of 50micron
<Greys> it's gotta be metal though
<SilverFox> right but hold up
<SilverFox> you said resin printing was offered at 508 micron tolerances?
<Greys> yea, they're crap
<SilverFox> because that's just wrong
<Greys> 5%
<SilverFox> you need specialized machinery
<Greys> yea, seems like this is a no go
<Greys> it'd be fucking trivial if I was going to mill it
<Greys> too bad, I probably have a market of maybe 200$ profit with slim margins
<Greys> maybe the resin will make my plan D aesthetically acceptable
<Greys> is resin good for painting?
<SilverFox> dunno
<Greys> I think for some reason shapeway's resin isn't called resin, what's another word
<SilverFox> resin plastic or metal powder
<SilverFox> those are the options im aware of
<Greys> ah, DLP HD Acrylate
<Greys> eigh, that train looks like crap, and is pretty close to what I'm concerned about
<Greys> the metal powders have the worst layering problems
<SilverFox> thats why you dont use the parts raw
<Greys> the metals shapeway offers have such exagerated layering problems that it just doesn't matter
<SilverFox> so what are t5hese layering problems you're bitching about?
<Greys> the voids in the surface
<Greys> you'd have to sand off a whole millimeter to get it smooth
<SilverFox> thats probably just because of the powder itself, rather than any layering issue]
<Greys> its aligned with the layers
<SilverFox> it's also 3d modeled from a skull, which can have holes like these
<Greys> then why are the surface defects aligned with the layers
<SilverFox> what are the examples that arent body parts
<SilverFox> look at how small it gets
<Greys> the resin doesn't have surface defects, but layering on the curves is pretty bad
<SilverFox> this looks metal, rather than resn
<Greys> I guess you could call that aliasing
<Greys> it fucking is you idiot
<Greys> that's what we were talking about
<SilverFox> you need to calm down
<Greys> part of what I'm making is a cylinder that would have to be printed diagonal to the layers, but only by a small angle; it'd have a radius between the steam tank and the cabin roof on this train example https://static1.sw-cdn.net/files/cms/materials/hi-def-acrylate-top-train.jpg
<SilverFox> neat looking train
<Greys> so the layering would be like a piece of weird bruchketta
<SilverFox> are you trying to talk about the bread?
<SilverFox> bruschetta?
<SilverFox> yeah
<SilverFox> bruschetta
<Greys> ovular striations are a bitch
<kmath> YouTube - Electric bike V3
<FoxBot9000> yt: Electric bike V3 | Tom Stanton
<Greys> and because in this form it'd be printed as a single piece, the cylinder would be a huge pain to smooth by hand; while automatic processes would be very distructive to the rest of the piece
<SilverFox> much better version
<SilverFox> ;wa 36mph to km/h
<kmath> SilverFox: convert 36 mph (miles per hour) to kilometers per hour: 57.94 km/h (kilometers per hour)
<Greys> that's probably illegal around here, so I call it a success
<SilverFox> bike could do in-town driving
<SilverFox> I need to double that in order to drive to literally anywhere else
<Greys> based on speed?
<Greys> are we talking bike or car?
<SilverFox> what
<SilverFox> the speed limit for highway is 90
<Greys> yea, and what's the horsepower limit for 2 wheeled vehicles
<SilverFox> idk
<SilverFox> put another bike side-by-side
<SilverFox> put a seat between em
<SilverFox> get the front tire steering via tilting
<SilverFox> differential on the back tires
<SilverFox> ezpz
<Greys> looks like in michigan the limit is based on pistol volume
<SilverFox> nice
<SilverFox> electric motors would thusly be exempt?
<Greys> you need an engine with a displacement of at least 125cc to go on highways
<SilverFox> that 13hp motor is 150cc
<Greys> but what's the volume of it's cylinders
<SilverFox> it's electric
<SilverFox> there are no cylinders
<Greys> yep
<SilverFox> so uh
<SilverFox> I'd need a license plate for it
<SilverFox> I'd also need to insure the vehicle
<Greys> at least in america people building their own cars isn't so weird, so there's pretty well codified rules on how to get them street legal
<SilverFox> im sure we do too, I just dont know of thme
<Greys> the only thing in there that would vary for an e-car is the emissions test
RandomJeb has joined #kspmodders
<Greys> most of these questions are on the topic of "why do we need to do this"
<SilverFox> so kit cars are pretty much illegal
<Greys> time to give up your rights, safety, and access to healthcare, for the right to build your own god damn car
<Greys> aka, move to california
<Greys> at least there's weed
<SilverFox> give up your housing then as well
<Greys> michigan has weed to, but if you weren't already in michigan there's no reason to move here
<Greys> really though, you might be more comfortable with washington state, oregon, colorado, or mid-upstate newyork
<SilverFox> I'd be uncomfortable anywhere in america
<Greys> that's a given yea
<SilverFox> if I were to get robbed and shot, I might as well die
<SilverFox> especially if the bullet gets lodged inside me
<Greys> now; if you get a car that's already street legal, can you modify it to run on electric and keep it street legal
<SilverFox> yeah
<SilverFox> tons of people do that
<SilverFox> its just a thing of swapping the motor, especially if it's equivalent power
<RandomJeb> what if I want to run my street legal car on wood gas?
<Greys> pppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppfft
<SilverFox> wood gas?
<Greys> it's like charcoal but instead of burning the carbon you burn the fumes
<RandomJeb> it takes a bit of space if you want to produce enough to run a car on
<SilverFox> I mean yeah sure
<Greys> it also takes a lot of wood
<SilverFox> does it pass emissions and shit like that?
<SilverFox> there are steam cars too
<Greys> it's normally used by people who live in prepper off-grid territory
<Greys> places where access to liquid fuel isn't a given, but wood is plentiful
<RandomJeb> it has dirty emission but not sure if it emits too much of the stuff they really care about like carbon monoxide and whatnot
<RandomJeb> depends a bit on your filtration setup
<SilverFox> if it passes safety it's probably road legal
<Greys> it won't pass safety because there's a barely contained continuous fire emitting combustable gases
<SilverFox> yeah see no
<SilverFox> that's not gonna pass safety
<Greys> the horns and gun might be a problem, but the rest seems on the level

<Greys> bullswaggle
<SilverFox> fuck yeah external GPUs on a tablet
<Greys> we don't need this reality
<Greys> although, that might be a cheap way to host miner GPUs
<Greys> you can get very low power android things real cheap real easy; what's the tablet
<Greys> I assume it's using USB OTG to attach
<SilverFox> it's using a thunderbolt cable for eGPU
<SilverFox> because that's the only way to do it right now
<Greys> I'm just not gonna watch that video btw
<Greys> so USB C, what's the tablet OS?
<SilverFox> your loss
<SilverFox> watch the video
<Greys> yea, my loss.
<Greys> there's so much to do and see, you gotta draw a line and get on with your life; dave lee is past the line, half of linus's bullshit is past the line, tom stanton is past the line, I got shit to do.
<SilverFox> don't really care
<Greys> that's cool; you should do something with that electric car thing though
<SilverFox> eh, I'll save it for later
<SilverFox> is there a way to get a USB c cable to go to thunderbolt?
<Greys> I don't blame you on that; cars ain't cheap
<Greys> thunderbolt is a protocol family, USB-C is compatible with thunderbolt 3
<SilverFox> instead of having a thunderbolt port, I can just uhh, use a usb c port
<Greys> that is, compliant C, with all the stuff it's supposed to have, that people tend to cut out for cost
<SilverFox> I need a cable that I can USB C to thunderbolt
<SilverFox> and if straight USB 3 type C works, I can just USB 3.0 to C that shit
<SilverFox> adapters for days
<Greys> fully compliant type C works as far as cables go, you of course need compatible hardware on both ends
<Greys> usb C is broader than usb 3 or 3.1, as far as I'm aware USB 3 A is not compatible with thunderbolt
<SilverFox> eGPU -> thunderbolt -> USB C -> USB 3.0 -> Device/USB 2.0 -> Device
<Greys> C has like four times as many contacts as 3 A
<Greys> I don't understand what your goal is
<SilverFox> I'm broadening the range at which I can plug a 1060 into a tablet
<Greys> if this is going to work, it'll be more like USB_C(thunderbolt(PCIe))->device
<SilverFox> I want more portability to my VR machines
<Greys> you'll need a device with a USB C port, that's capable of thunderbolt
<SilverFox> VR laptop is creme a la creme right now
<Greys> minidisplayport supports thunderbolt 2, so you could do eGPU - USB_C(thunderbolt 3) -> DP_mini(thunderbolt2) -> device, but I haven't seen a tablet with a display output in like eight years
<SilverFox> why is the 6500U so shit
<SilverFox> can I DP -> HDMI?
<Greys> apple has a thunderbolt 3 to thunderbolt 2 adapter
<Greys> you can but HDMI can't carry thunderbolt 2
<SilverFox> fuck
<Greys> every version of thunderbolt runs on exactly one cable
<Greys> 1 and 2 run on mini displayport, 3 runs on USB C, but 1 was really an apple only thing so you can ignore it
<SilverFox> I need a damn good tablet
<SilverFox> what are some damn good tablets for under 1000$ cad
<Greys> the tablet market is dead man
<SilverFox> anything more and I'd just put the extra 300 for a 1050ti laptop
<Greys> everything samsung makes is crap, nobody else is really trying on android, and ipads are generally not good right now except for the ipad pro
<Greys> the small one is 870CAD
<SilverFox> I cant use ipad for VR dude
<SilverFox> all apple products are out
<Greys> yea well, you asked
<Greys> there's no android tablet worth paying for.
<Greys> there are some large android phones that are kinda decent, and they blow all the android tablets to the moon
<SilverFox> if it has a decent processor above 2.0ghz and thunderbolt then I'll take it
<Greys> what if I told you that the ipad pro has USB C*
<SilverFox> fuck that and fuck that asterisk
<Greys> yea the charger has USB-C, and it comes with a USB-C to Lightning cable
<ve2dmn> But USB C is The Future™
<Greys> USB C is the future, but nobody makes god damn accessories with it
<Greys> the USB consortium should just revoke all USB 2.x licenses and start sueing people who continue to make those things
<SilverFox> naw
<ve2dmn> USB C is currently a big mess
<Greys> yea but it's not the port or the protocol, it's availability of devices
<Greys> yea but whose fault is that
<ve2dmn> Everyone
<Greys> everybody wants prosthetic foreheads to wear on their real heads, and the manufacturers are resisting because that would cost them more money
<Greys> well, part of this is on the USB consortium, USB C is more expensive to license, and more complicated, so teh chips to support it cost more; they should be subsidizing the switching cost to get volume economics in place
<ve2dmn> I think this post explains it best: https://marco.org/2017/10/14/impossible-dream-of-usb-c
<Greys> that's fine for marco
<ve2dmn> You want to fast charge? Good luck. There are 2 standard, and not all cables support them... yet they all look the same
<Greys> apple switched to all USB C on their laptops because they thought more market pressure would push peripheral manufacturers, that has not yet been the case
<Greys> there's also the whole realm of "USB-C devices aren't better than the devices I have in any meaningful way", which is an innovation problem leading to poor sales
<ve2dmn> "You can use USB-C PD ( Power Delivery ) to fast-charge an iPhone 8 or iPad Pro with a USB-C to Lightning cable. But it doesn’t work with every USB-PD battery or charger, or every USB-C to Lightning cable, or every iPad Pro."
<Greys> if I have a USB 2 flash drive, that I use once every five years, and it works great; why would I replace it at all
<Greys> yea apple is it's own garbage fire lately
<ve2dmn> "And, of course, there’s usually no way to tell at a glance whether a given cable, charger, battery, or device supports USB-C PD or at what wattages."
<ve2dmn> At least the cable is reversable
<Greys> like how there's I think 2 USB C ports on their pro model laptop
<Greys> even if you want to say, all you pros, go buy new shit; they can't plug that shit into 2 ports
<ve2dmn> At least the web got rid of flash... so not all hope is lost
<Greys> especially when one of the two ports is going to be plugged into power, and there's only like two products on the market that let you split the power out and still plug a device into that slot
<Greys> and there's nothing good in the realm of USB C hubs
<Greys> does there exist a single USB-C keyboard
angavrilov|phone has quit [Ping timeout: 207 seconds]
<SilverFox> I mean, there aren't that many mobos with a usb c connector on it, so that'd be stupid
<SilverFox> I paid 150$ for my mobo and i dont think it has it
<Greys> does your motherboard have thunderbolt 3?
<SilverFox> don't think so
<SilverFox> nope
<SilverFox> although, it is a mini-ITX board
<Greys> at this point in time thunderbolt 3 is a mandatory feature for me because you can run I think 4 1080p videostreams over it along with USB; so you can use a single USB-C cable to connect a tower to a work station, aka desk
<Greys> I could have one cable between where my keyboard and monitor are, and where my computer is, and they can be I think a hundred feet apart
<SilverFox> also I threw out those plastic fucking mount things that come with the mobo for mounting a cpu heatsink, but stock stuff doesnt need it, so I set it aside and it ended up getting thrown out and now I can't mount my liquid cooler
<Greys> I don't really know what you mean
<SilverFox> there are two fucking pieces of plastic I need to mount this fucking cooler
<SilverFox> they got thrown out

<Greys> you wanna know there's a picture of a horse stuck in a tire?
<Greys> there is
<SilverFox> microsoft word has a weird bug where you can't copy paste a single letter properly without it introducing a newline char in there
<SilverFox> it happens if you have the letter by itself, with no chars in front of it
<Greys> there's so many small and specific bugs with the selecting, copying, and pasting of text across windows
<Greys> earlier today I selected a sentence, typed a new one, and it erased the space immediately before the text I had selected
<Greys> frequently in microsoft software it's impossible to select only certain parts of a word or sentence, it'll jump the start or end of your selection to somewhere else arbitrarily
<ve2dmn> That because copy-paste in Microsoft is object-transport between app and not just a string copy
<SilverFox> get fukt
<Greys> which that
<ve2dmn> "yes"
<Greys> so firefox deleted an unselected space, because microsoft copies text objects instead of text values

<ve2dmn> no. The 2 app talk to each other to try and negocitate the exchange format between the 2 apps. (If I remember correctly)

<Greys> it's a pocket knife gun, complete with corkscrew
<ve2dmn> I think the test was something like: start Firefox. Copy a giant Webpage. Close firefox. Open Word, Open taks manager. Paste in word, watch in Task manager as Firefox is restarted in the background to negociate the copy format
<Greys> for when you really need to open some wine during self defense
<Greys> OH GOD! the corkscrew is the trigger!
<Greys> technically speaking this is the worst gun

<SilverFox> "iron deficiency anemia can also result from blood loss anywhere in the GI tract, and is sometimes associated with cancer"
<SilverFox> guess I have to test for cancer now
<Greys> you're dying?
<SilverFox> no, my patient
<Greys> you're killing?
<SilverFox> they have some iron anemia shit
<SilverFox> and there was a blackened tar like colour in stool, indicating blood early in the GI tract
<SilverFox> I'm thinking small intestine
<Greys> how many deaths so far?
<SilverFox> uhhhhhh
<SilverFox> no comment
<Greys> kills: more than 1
<SilverFox> does it count if I work in an old age home?
<Greys> why are you training on the pre-dead?
<Greys> shouldn't they be starting the new people on like, colds, and dislocated shoulders
<SilverFox> no
<SilverFox> we're learning PSW stuff
<SilverFox> then we learn RPN stuff, then I learn RN stuff
<SilverFox> then I learn to diagnose people
<Greys> pretend spaghetti wisconson, religious pope neurons
<SilverFox> personal support worker, Registered Practical Nurse, Registered Nurse
<SilverFox> then I become an NP, nurse practitioner
<SilverFox> which is like, a Masters Degree+
<Greys> that's a weird order of things
<SilverFox> its not
<SilverFox> it follows line of duties
<Greys> first you're all three things, then you're just two, then you swap out one of the things
<SilverFox> each step up can do things the step down can
<Greys> ignoring the PSW, that makes sense
<SilverFox> PSW does less than the RPN, but the RPN can do things the PSW can
<SilverFox> PSW does like, bathing and care, some charting, dressing
<SilverFox> basic level of care
<Greys> right, but then you go from a registered practicing nurse to just a registered nurse, and then you stop being registered to practice again
<SilverFox> you're letting the names trigger your autism
<SilverFox> Practical was the key word there, where they dont have as depth of theory behind their work
<Greys> names should mean things!
<SilverFox> they do more handson things
<Greys> oh, hands-on
<SilverFox> Registered Nurses of course can do this, but they have other things, more technical things to do that require more depth of knowledge to do
<SilverFox> think a terrible analogy like builder vs designer
<SilverFox> the builder builds the things, doesn't need to know why
<SilverFox> just needs to know how to put bolts in places and set things in stone
<SilverFox> designer has to cover much more in depth about why the bolts go there
<SilverFox> which is why it requires a university education rather than college one
<Greys> yea but most archetects couldn't build a house
<Greys> like, they know how to lay out walls, now how to arrange nails in wood
<SilverFox> im trying abstract this for you
<SilverFox> stop breaking it down
<Greys> more like, a doctor wouldn't make a good nurse
<SilverFox> now that's totes different fields tho
<Greys> yes
<Greys> same kinds of things, but the areas of expertise are not a flat circle
<SilverFox> anyways, do you get what I'm trying to say?
<Greys> the names are arbitrary and not informative, eya
<SilverFox> holy fuck
<Greys> time to go enter teh bureucratic wasteland of standing at the phone store for an hour to have them eventually tell me they can't help because they refuse to read instructions
<G-Mobile> Guess what
<G-Mobile> They cant fix this phone, ever
<SilverFox> why's that
<G-Mobile> Its not sprint enough
<SilverFox> wait, why's that
<SilverFox> did you take a non-sprint phone into a sprint store?
<Greys> I bought a phone from sprint
<Greys> it got damaged way too easy
<Greys> I had HTC repair it
<Greys> HTC sent me a different phone
<Greys> same model, different capacity and color, also not sprint enough
<SilverFox> mkay and?
<Greys> no and then
<SilverFox> new phone was not registered or bought through sprint, it was bought through HTC
<SilverFox> go register the phone or some shit
<Greys> the only phone bought was through sprint
<Greys> RMA bullshit
<SilverFox> right, and that phone you bought was covered, but not the one you got sent
<Greys> HTC has a terrible RMA and support system, they're angry that things keep being their fault
<SilverFox> solution: dont buy HTC
<Greys> yea well, every HTC I've bought before now has been great
<SilverFox> get fucked
<Greys> I am
<Greys> I sent the phone for RMA at the end of august
<Greys> it's been months

<SilverFox> not particularly
<Greys> it's labelled as buttery kettle corn; but it's actually cupcake flavored
<SilverFox> no ca version
<SilverFox> no longer interested
<Greys> you can't stop being interested when you weren't interested
<Greys> that's technically impossible
<SilverFox> I expected nothing and was still let down
<Greys> anyway find it at the store or something
<Greys> it's disturbing
<SilverFox> no
<Greys> you put a bag of popcorn in the astounding techical device that is a microwave, and then it makes the room smell like cupcakes
<SilverFox> no you're just fucked
<Greys> it actually makes sense
<SilverFox> sure
<Greys> the dominant flavor experience of cupcakes is frosting, and frosting is butter and sugar whipped together
<Greys> so butter sugar popcorn would logically taste like cupcakes
<SilverFox> no
<SilverFox> buttered popcorn does not taste like cupcakes
<Greys> buttered kettle corn
<Greys> which is an offense to nature but it exists

<SilverFox> icefire, what's the computing power of the node that runs kmath?
<icefire> why
<Greys> paperclips
<SilverFox> curious
<icefire> its a t1.micro
<SilverFox> the fuck is that
<SilverFox> it's a red dot sight
<SilverFox> sick
<SilverFox> icefire, how many gigapixies?
<icefire> zero? it doesnt have a GPU
<icefire> idk what your talking about
<SilverFox> them gurgahurts
<icefire> well its cloud so that question doesnt really mean much. It's promised up to 3.3 ghz
<SilverFox> interesting
<icefire> but at any point its probably lower than that
<SilverFox> I wanted to see how it'd compare to my raspi
<SilverFox> it's a xeon so yeah
<SilverFox> idk if the pi I'm using was able to oc stable at 2.2ghz
<SilverFox> I did that once
<SilverFox> 100% overclock
<icefire> I could run kmath on my router, homebrew wii, or any other random shit I have laying around. I put it on the cloud so I don't have to care about it
<SilverFox> a homebrew wii?
<SilverFox> interesting
<icefire> the wii would have to go back to the ancient c++ version of kmath but yeah it could
<SilverFox> interesting
<icefire> making stuff for the wii is actually easier to set up then making stuff for android
<SilverFox> what is kmath running now?
<icefire> ruby
<SilverFox> interesting
<SilverFox> is ruby the shit one with the "unless" keyword?
<icefire> yes
<SilverFox> ew
<SilverFox> is it just ruby or is it ruby on rails?
<icefire> rails is for web pages
<icefire> its just ruby
<SilverFox> I see
<SilverFox> interesting
<icefire> irc bots aren't exactly hard on CPU's... you could probably run one on a blender
<SilverFox> yo
<SilverFox> lets hack all the smart devices and run irc bots on them
<Greys> nah, IRC servers
<Greys> foxcon
<SilverFox> also, I wanna run something by you here. thought I had would be to introduce modularity to my bot, and that each function would be a module, and each module would get sent an incoming message on message sent, however, an optimization I have with my bot currently is that the more popular commands are up top of the message parsing thing so that it can just return; and the other commands dont have to check the message, saving time. how can i do this
<SilverFox> with the parallelized system?
<SilverFox> such that if I have n functions, it wont send that data to EVERY function despite already having found the function the input belongs to, if any
<Greys> is it really taking you so long to process the message to determine if it matches a given module that this matters?
<SilverFox> well I could have an infinite amount of modules
<SilverFox> it really doesn't matter
<SilverFox> but like, my autism tells me it's not nice
<SilverFox> that it's needless to send messages to modules when you've already parsed the command
<icefire> depends on how your stuff is designed I guess. You can have modules return a value that tells the bot if the message should be passed on to other modules or not
<SilverFox> like a killswitch, that's what I was thinking
<SilverFox> it's just like 'HEY, STOP'
<icefire> Hexchat does this with its plugins http://hexchat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/plugins.html#c.HEXCHAT_EAT_NONE
<SilverFox> EAT NONE
<SilverFox> what a name
<Greys> I'd say that when a module registers a command it should give a pattern to main, then main checks through the list of patterns to find what module to send it to; then depending on how you impliment it you could definitely sort the list by hits
<icefire> eat_none -> everything can see the message after plugin is done with it, eat_all -> nothing can see it
<icefire> etc etc
<SilverFox> interesting
<icefire> the framework I'm using just has all modules register a pattern to check all messages against
<icefire> ¯(°o ° )/¯
<SilverFox> a pattern?
<SilverFox> what would be an example of a pattern that it would send?
<icefire> regex pattern
<SilverFox> oh I see
<Greys> are there any alternatives to regex?
<SilverFox> String.<function>

<Greys> SilverFox, what percentage dislocated can the patella be and I'd still be able to "walk"
<SilverFox> well, go look at a picture of a leg
<SilverFox> and you'll have your answer
<SilverFox> because it's definitely not a percentage
<Greys> now what
<SilverFox> the patella is not attached to any bone
<SilverFox> so it can be dislocated in any degree
<SilverFox> go think about what you've done
<SilverFox> im going back to watching game grumps play a game where a girl dies
<Greys> I hit my patella directly on the side on a rack and it was like "yo, have you ever experienced your knees this way", and I was like "No sir I have not", my patella is a man, and he replied "Well guess what, this is your life now."
<Greys> and he's been right for 4 days
<SilverFox> so uh quick lesson in ortho
<SilverFox> if it's dislocated to the left, guess how we fix it
<Greys> clockwise torque
<SilverFox> we fucking hit that son of a bitch real hard to the right
<SilverFox> so go find that fucking rack and hit it backwards
<SilverFox> that'll fix your problem
<Greys> that's the kind of medical advice I expect from modders
<SilverFox> it's legit ortho advice
<SilverFox> because its a patella and isnt connected to anything you dont have to reseat it
<SilverFox> especially if it's just slid off to the side or some shit
<SilverFox> so you just.. move it back in place
<SilverFox> if it was your arm you'd have to re-seat your arm and put it back in place, which would be a lot of pain
<Greys> ok, next topic, the internet told me once that if elbows had patellas, arms would be 30% stronger; how do I get that installed?
<SilverFox> that's uhh
<SilverFox> false
<SilverFox> you have an elbow
<SilverFox> which is the arm equivalent of a patella
<SilverFox> and what do you mean by "stronger"? in what context?
<Greys> like, leverage
<lpg> like better, faster, stronger
<SilverFox> no
<SilverFox> that's muscle strength
<SilverFox> go work out
<SilverFox> you do not want long bones being used as levers
<SilverFox> because they fucking snap
<Greys> based on the internet elbow caps would make arms stronger for teh same muscles
<SilverFox> I see no reason for it to do so
<Greys> if you could add a superfluous bone to every joint in your body and be 30% stronger except for your knees, would you?
<SilverFox> no
<SilverFox> that would massively increase your weight
<Greys> what if it make you super attractive
<SilverFox> it wouldn't
<SilverFox> you'd be fucking ugly and die
<SilverFox> there are 206 bones in the human body
<SilverFox> with like, 700-800 muscles
<Greys> that's like 3~4 muscles per joint, makes sense
<SilverFox> there's also facial muscles and several abdomen muscles
<Greys> and the tongue
<SilverFox> also +1 or so muscles if male
<SilverFox> maybe +3 because balls
<Greys> also there's that one bit in the wrist that 20% of the time has a muscle, 30% of the time has two muscles, and 50% of the time doesn't
<SilverFox> i have no fucking clue what you are on about, but having extra bones in the carpals and hand would be fucking stupid
<Greys> how many joints is the wrist?
<SilverFox> idk
<SilverFox> idk if you consider the things between the carpals as joints
<SilverFox> but your skull has a bunch of joints
<Greys> every one of them needs to be 30% stronger
<Greys> except the jaw
<SilverFox> ?????? ehy
<SilverFox> why
<Greys> making the jaw stronger will just incentivize vore
<SilverFox> ........
