13:07 <G-Mobile> Not in any useful way

13:37 <SilverFox> G-Mobile, the point is not to be useful, but to be done

15:08 <Greys> SilverFox, differentiate between usefulness, having the capacity to be used; and practicality, having the trait of being a good choice; there would be no use in involving elastic hysteresis in a memory system as the system would need to tract the data being stored by the balloons separately, as that information cannot practically be extracted from the balloon

15:08 <TheKosmonaut> GlassFragments: not even fifteen minutes in https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/zB8EFviH/image.JPG

15:15 <GlassFragments> TheKosmonaut, if it comes to things having ended, I had a really amazing view of the last sotetsu train yesterday

15:16 <GlassFragments> I never knew being stuck outside for the rest of the night could look that cool

15:17 <Greys> strictly speaking it would probably be possible to build a memory system involving puppies and dispensing snacks, but the puppies would not actually be significant or critical to the operation; and the existing parts would be able to serve the purpose without the puppies

15:24 <Greys> Hyratel if I have a 2.8A stepper on a 2A controller, will the controller burn out, or will the stepper operate at reduced capacity?

15:32 <SilverFox> I'd say it depends on how well built the controller is

15:33 <Greys> does the control signal come into play? if it's never asked to run too hard will it be fine?

15:34 <SilverFox> if it never attempts to draw more than 2A then it's a non-issue

15:40 <Greys> but spindle loading could potentially induce that at any speed

15:44 <Greys> ;wa 8V 3Arms

15:44 <kmath> Greys: Wolfram couldn't understand your gibberish

15:44 <Greys> amazon isn't very informative

15:46 <Greys> SilverFox, got any opinions about sainsmart?

19:45 <Hyratel> Greys, the stepper will operate at less than rated capacity

22:29 <SilverFox> Greys, wtf is a sainsmart

23:41 <GlassFragments> "The Rest of World (ROW) is a vast wasteland lying directly to the North, South, East and West of the United States of America."

23:41 <SilverFox> jesus

23:41 <SilverFox> fuckin grade A shit right there

23:42 <GlassFragments> "Its main imports are Freedom and Democracy. Ever since Thomas Jefferson discovered Freedom and Democracy in America in 1776, the United States have regularly produced abundant surpluses of these goods. This is fortunate for ROW, which has no natural sources of Freedom and Democracy at all, so is dependent on America for regular deliveries. These are also known as invasions. "

23:43 <GlassFragments> " Some countries in ROW block much of the internet from their own people, presumably because they see becoming more like America as a bad thing. America has tried to help with this by blocking much of the internet off to ROW, by a process called "geo blocking" which hides all the best bits away. They can only see the trailers."

23:44 <SilverFox> okay this is starting to sound more awesome now
