<GlassFragments> that distinct feeling that you must be doing something terribly wrong that you get when using system.reflection within your own assembly

<Orum> I get the feeling I'm doing terrible things all the time when programming, but I don't let that stop me...

<GlassFragments> I want a heated mouse
<GlassFragments> it gets pretty cold in my apartment and heating just throws money out of the thin walls and windows
<Orum> you can spend a bunch of money and get one of these: http://gearnova.com/heatbuff-keyboard-hand-warmer/
<GlassFragments> however the only thing that really does get cold is my right hand
<Orum> wear fingerless gloves?
<GlassFragments> that could work
<GlassFragments> however the true shit solution would be taping an usb heating pad from aliexpress to the top of the mouse
<GlassFragments> by the time anything ships from aliexpress it won't be cold anymore
<Orum> USB...heating? Even the newer standards don't deliver enough power for that AFAIK
<Orum> maybe they do, I recall 3.1 having some crazy high amperage
<GlassFragments> if you buy a heater from a random dropshipper in china then it not being nearly powerful enough to kill you becomes a desirable feature
angavrilov has joined #kspmodders
<Orum> lol, 20V 5A over USB PD
<Orum> that /would/ give you some heat
<GlassFragments> ...btw, how much power do I need to boil some water
<Orum> I'd be more worried about the chinese product catching fire than anything though, even a higher wattage one from a reputable manufacturer
<GlassFragments> making a model electric steam locomotive would be cool
<Orum> water requires a lot of energy, you'd be better off looking at a fog machine
<GlassFragments> there wouldn't be a lot of water in that thing
<Orum> true, but steam is invisible, and condensed water vapor not much more visible
<GlassFragments> no, not as an effect, actually driving it with the steam
<Orum> oh you want a real steam engine? O.o
<GlassFragments> well functionally real, can be a fictional model
<Orum> that's doable, but crazy hard on small scale... I suppose if it explodes though it wouldn't be as bad
<Orum> just don't flash boil anything and you'd be okay
<Orum> you have a lathe?
<GlassFragments> unfortunately not
<Orum> :\ well, that makes it a lot harder
<GlassFragments> I have "turned" plastic before by drilling a hole and fitting it on the shaft of a 12v electric motor
<GlassFragments> and using knives and files to cut
<GlassFragments> it works surprisingly well, but only because I didn't expect it to work at all
<Orum> yeah I've done similar, on a drill press
<GlassFragments> I think I could add an automatic feed to it by taping the knife to a model train
<Orum> not sure what scale you're at though
<GlassFragments> HO and HOn3.5
<GlassFragments> using a static steam engine would likely not work
<Orum> oh, yeah, that's going to be tough
<GlassFragments> can always bullshit your way out by having someone else machine it for you
<Orum> for a price, sure
<Orum> I can't imagine making a steam engine that small, but I'm sure it's diable
<Orum> doable*
<Orum> you gonne power it with a candle then?
<GlassFragments> no, with power from the rails
<GlassFragments> that's why I was wondering if there would be enough power
<Orum> yeah, that should be interesting
<GlassFragments> in the best case 22V and 2A would be available
<GlassFragments> ideally it would work on 16V 1A
<Orum> so 16W?
<GlassFragments> ...yes
<Orum> could probably do that, might need to insulate the boiler
<Orum> and it might take a bit to get up to temp
<GlassFragments> once it's up and running the exhaust steam might be fed back to regain some of the heat and most of the water
<GlassFragments> now of course condensating steam locomotives have failed repeatedly in real life
<Orum> that's getting pretty elaborate
<Orum> exactly
<Orum> I could totally get into model railroading if it didn't take up so much damn space
<GlassFragments> Orum, my entire apartment is like 20m^2
<Orum> how do you have room? or do you do it elsewhere?
<GlassFragments> if you build everything yourself it will take very long until it grows too large
<GlassFragments> I don't actually have a layout
<Orum> eh, I'll stick with OpenTTD and Factorio for my train needs
<GlassFragments> started about a year ago, all I have so far is some unfinished kits and scratch builds as well as a lot of cad files on my pc

<Orum> oh, that's right you live in jp
<Orum> where in Japan are you?
<GlassFragments> tokyo
<Orum> yeah, apartments there are even smaller than NYC
<GlassFragments> but, the one advantage is that you can find everything that is sold in japan
<Orum> true
<GlassFragments> which for model railways unexpectedly is not everything you need
<GlassFragments> unless you are a pesky n scaler
<GlassFragments> then you're in paradise
<Orum> well, people there have no room, so they go for the smaller scales :)
<GlassFragments> yeah of course but
<GlassFragments> can't really do dual gauge down there which idk why but is a deal breaker for me
<GlassFragments> also by worldwide availability HO is best
<Orum> dual gauge is asking for headaches...
<Orum> yeah, probably... modeling has gone so downhill in the last few decades
<Orum> I remember when they had several hobby stores here, now I can't think of one
<GlassFragments> the only headache is that switches cost like $40~ each IIRC
<GlassFragments> so I make my own
<Orum> ugh, the effort required...
<GlassFragments> I did two gauge separation (dual gauge to 2x single gauge) ones already, both have some flaws but the second one works
<GlassFragments> also did a normal HOn3.5 one which works but the blades are really stiff and will spring back to the *middle* position
<GlassFragments> it's fun though
<Orum> do you have a group over there that does this stuff together or is this all a solo project?
<GlassFragments> solo
<Orum> yeah, that's a ton of work then
<GlassFragments> "Zaccagnino is an award-winning computer software game developer"
<Orum> checks out :)
<GlassFragments> I'm studying game programming...
<Orum> you in college (or the equivalent) then?
<Orum> or post-grad?
<GlassFragments> vocational school
<Orum> ah ok
<GlassFragments> I have to find a job within the next few months so that sucks but
<Orum> are you close to finishing school?
<GlassFragments> halfway through a two year one
<Orum> you going to be able to finish, or do you need a full-time job?
<GlassFragments> remember that this is fucking japan
<Orum> so the latter...
<GlassFragments> basically all new graduates get hired and start working on the same day of the fucking year
<Orum> wow
<Orum> talk about a good placement record
<GlassFragments> so first you need to find a job well before you graduate
<TheKosmonaut> GlassFragments: so I got a job for a car shop
<TheKosmonaut> At*
<GlassFragments> TheKosmonaut, you were talking about it in official yesterday
<GlassFragments> sounds kinda interesting tbh but how the fuck did you end up there
<TheKosmonaut> GlassFragments: I saw it on some classifieds. I honestly never look there for jobs but it's hella fun
<GlassFragments> how does it work out visa-wise?
<TheKosmonaut> GlassFragments: I have a different visa now
<TheKosmonaut> I can get any job I want under X number of hours per week
<GlassFragments> so apparently this morning the chuuou line was delayed because a woman was on the phone yelling at someone that she wanted coffee, not tea
<GlassFragments> is there a law that requires the chuuou to late on at least x days a month or so...
<GlassFragments> *to be late
<Orum> nah, Japan hasn't reached that level of paralyzing bureaucracy yet

<TheKosmonaut> Dude. They made me fill out five forms because my stamp looked different. Which isn't true. It's exactly the same but they refused to believe me.
<Orum> ouch
<TheKosmonaut> Japan loves forms as much as it loves archaic unwritten rules.

<TheKosmonaut> That and they put this fucking aluminum sheet under the car that you have to cut in order to remove
