| 17:23.45 | spangborn | It's a good thing you didn't preface that with good |
| 17:25.29 | frostyfrog | Bad start of the day today? |
| 17:26.01 | frostyfrog | is feeling much better than yesterday, so they can consider this morning a decent morning :) |
| 17:34.16 | spangborn | Well I just watched Trump's press conference so yes |

| 17:59.37 | youtah | I wrote a short message to the city council members trying to see if they talk Frys into building a location here |
| 17:59.45 | TodPunk | You realize you should be talking to Fry's and not Lehi City, who doesn't build stores, right? |
| 18:00.11 | TodPunk | Plus, residents would be FURIOUS if they gave Fry's a deal for opening up here |
| 18:02.48 | spangborn | TodPunk: get out of here with your facts |
| 18:02.56 | spangborn | This is purely about youtah's opinions ;p |
| 18:03.28 | TodPunk | Those sporadic and plentiful things he has. |
| 18:03.37 | youtah | no no no |
| 18:03.42 | youtah | even without any incentives |
| 18:04.01 | spangborn | TodPunk: Are you implying he has more than one butthole? |
| 18:04.10 | youtah | a simple letter from the city council to the CEO stating that we think they would be a great fit here, would be appreciated |

| 18:04.13 | spangborn | jk jk youtah |
| 18:04.42 | spangborn | I would like a Frys |
| 18:04.48 | TodPunk | youtah: Frys is a niche store. I don't think a letter like that is going to matter at all. |
| 18:04.49 | spangborn | But it would need to be in civilization |
| 18:04.51 | spangborn | aka not Lehi |
| 18:04.53 | frostyfrog | Fry's Electronics? is that like, a radio shack? |
| 18:05.04 | spangborn | frostyfrog: Think best buy but actually useful |
| 18:05.15 | youtah | TodPunk, possibly it might not do anything at all. However if it does help, then lets do it. |
| 18:05.30 | TodPunk | frostyfrog: imagine a Newegg-like storefront without much selection and about 60% of its inventory is DOA but you won't know it until you drive their, pick up a thing, and take it home |
| 18:05.46 | TodPunk | I actively do not want a Frys anywhere near me |
| 18:06.02 | TodPunk | Get a K-mart or something, it will still be better for the community |
| 18:06.14 | youtah | frostyfrog, say you need to buy a 50ohm coax with reverse polarity SMA connectors for 2.4ghz with low loss and you need it today? They've got them. Or even a simply module desktop power supply. |
| 18:06.36 | TodPunk | Bull shit they'll have them. Radio shack had a better chance for that. |
| 18:06.46 | youtah | Radio shack has nothing |
| 18:06.52 | youtah | except cell phones and batteries |
| 18:06.53 | TodPunk | exactly |
| 18:06.57 | youtah | and remote control cars |
| 18:07.16 | TodPunk | Frys carries the most popular versions of <CommonPartX> and nothing more |
| 18:07.29 | TodPunk | Because that's literally all they can sell as a brick and mortar business |
| 18:08.16 | youtah | They're the non-cheap-chinese parts version of Raelco without having to dig through dirty bins |
| 18:08.39 | TodPunk | o.O Who do you think makes the parts you buy at Newegg? |
| 18:09.03 | youtah | Have you ever purchased and soldered a PL-259 connector from Raelco onto RG-213? |
| 18:09.18 | TodPunk | While I haven't been in a Frys in several years, when I lived near one in Cali I would challenge the dirty bin claim |
| 18:09.20 | youtah | and then purchased the amphenol connectors from new egg and repeater the same process? |
| 18:09.22 | youtah | BIG difference |
| 18:09.34 | youtah | Have you been to raelco? |
| 18:09.42 | TodPunk | Why would I? I have the internet! |
| 18:09.53 | youtah | and if you NEED it today? |
| 18:10.07 | TodPunk | Then you're really bad at planning. |
| 18:10.09 | TodPunk | Like, horrid |
| 18:10.15 | TodPunk | Because that's not an actual thing |
| 18:10.18 | youtah | you're entitled to your erroneous opinion |
| 18:10.49 | TodPunk | People /need/ car parts to get their cars running today. They /need/ groceries. They don't /need/ radio equipment today. |
| 18:11.01 | youtah | I am not talking hobby here |
| 18:11.14 | youtah | I am talking business, engineers, computer programmers, etc |
| 18:11.19 | youtah | Ever have a cable fail? |
| 18:11.20 | TodPunk | If you're a business that does, you have your own inventory of your very specific parts that 4 other people in the state will /ever/ /need/ |
| 18:11.23 | youtah | a power supply go bad? |
| 18:11.52 | TodPunk | Power supply yes, I have backups. |
| 18:12.03 | TodPunk | cables I don't think I've ever had such a problem |
| 18:12.14 | TodPunk | but I've got dozens of cables of most kinds I'd need |
| 18:12.48 | youtah | Yes, but many people cannot afford to buy every cable and every adapter and every computer part imaginable and store it in their basement just in case.... like you apparently do. |
| 18:13.01 | TodPunk | But only for the machine that can't go down for more than a day (in my own definitions of "can't") |
| 18:13.25 | TodPunk | Can't afford that, but can afford a premium on the parts they can get for half price online? |
| 18:14.07 | youtah | It is okay to admit defeat |
| 18:14.21 | TodPunk | Again, Fry's doesn't have jack squat but the popularly used items, mind you. So a PSU, but probably not the brand and power level you want, and DEFINITELY not with the number of rails and power specifications for your modular power supply |
| 18:14.36 | TodPunk | I know, youtah, we're not judging you for it. |
| 18:14.41 | youtah | you just don't want your wallet around a Frys |
| 18:14.52 | TodPunk | It's not like we haven't gone through this sort of thing with you before =cP |
| 18:14.54 | youtah | it's the hardware version of a Steam sale |
| 18:15.13 | TodPunk | Pfft, no, I'd LOVE a hardware store that sold things that worked |
| 18:15.23 | TodPunk | I liked PC Discounters when they existed, for instance |
| 18:17.05 | TodPunk | Here, you don't have to listen to me about how terrible Fry's is |

| 18:17.23 | spangborn | I miss CompUSA |
| 18:17.27 | spangborn | As bad as they were |
| 18:17.29 | TodPunk | https://www.yelp.com/biz/frys-las-vegas |
| 18:17.34 | spangborn | I could at least find what I needed |
| 18:17.45 | spangborn | CircuitCity though, screw that |
| 18:17.59 | TodPunk | spangborn: right? Until they went the insurance/vanity items route, CompUSA was awesome |
| 18:18.03 | TodPunk | At least they died with dignity |
| 18:18.13 | TodPunk | Circuit City was just... ugh... why |
| 18:18.36 | spangborn | I still get anxiety of thinking of CircuitCity |
| 18:18.42 | spangborn | Walking in and immediately getting nagged to buy something |
| 18:18.45 | youtah | The red |
| 18:19.06 | spangborn | Do you remember Ultimate Electronics? |
| 18:19.08 | youtah | I bought an emachine from there once |
| 18:19.10 | TodPunk | I don't mind the salesmen |
| 18:19.11 | spangborn | That was an odd store. |
| 18:19.24 | TodPunk | In any store, really |
| 18:19.27 | youtah | and the red |
| 18:19.33 | youtah | remember the gray and red carpet? |
| 18:19.44 | spangborn | haha |
| 18:19.55 | TodPunk | Then again, I also have no problem telling them "Sorry, I know what I'm looking for, and will ask you if I need you to pull something. You can't help me." |
| 18:20.22 | spangborn | TodPunk: Same, but I'd get nagged by like 4 different people |
| 18:21.13 | TodPunk | ditto |
| 18:21.17 | TodPunk | still happens at Best Buy |
| 18:21.39 | TodPunk | I probably only go once a year |
| 18:30.20 | youtah | I think the AC is blowing in my office |
| 18:30.36 | TodPunk | O.o |
| 18:30.49 | TodPunk | someone must rue the day! |
| 19:11.07 | jlp_znc | I think there ought to be some kind of hat you can wear or sign you can carry that says something like "I don't need any help right now, please do not bother me." |
| 19:11.53 | jlp_znc | kind of like there ought to be a code word you can say when you call, e.g. comcast tech support that gets you right past the first tier. "Hi, Comcast support, how can I help you?" "Boobalah" "I'll get you right to 2nd tier, sir. Thank you." |

| 19:33.50 | frostyfrog | liked your blog post, aeryndunham. |
| 19:34.01 | aeryndunham | frostyfrog: Thanks! |
| 19:34.30 | frostyfrog | It made me wonder... how much bash do you know? |
| 19:35.13 | aeryndunham | Bash? Uhhh very little. I keep meaning to get around to it. I mean I know basic file manipulation commands and such, but that's all |
| 19:37.27 | frostyfrog | wonders if it would help you to somewhat get into programming more by allowing you to write scripts and utilities that monitor computers/servers/networks. Maybe not though >_> |
| 19:38.44 | aeryndunham | thinks she's probably a lost cause :p |
| 19:38.51 | spangborn | I doubt that you are |
| 19:39.02 | spangborn | I think your knowledge is just more spread across a lot of different topics |
| 19:39.10 | aeryndunham | Likely |
| 19:39.17 | spangborn | I'm not unlike you in that regard |
| 19:39.21 | aeryndunham | Because I can never decide what I like most/am best at |
| 19:39.23 | spangborn | I know a lot of different things |
| 19:39.24 | aeryndunham | I want to know EVERYTHING |
| 19:39.29 | spangborn | But only a few things do I know very well |
| 19:39.43 | aeryndunham | which of course makes it difficult to focus on one thing enough to maybe someday get a job in it |
| 19:41.37 | frostyfrog | From my perspective, there are 2 kinds of professional programmers: Those who are a "jack of all trades, master of nothing", then there are those who are specialists who do a few things really, really well. |
| 19:42.32 | jima | man, i'm glad i'm not a programmer! |
| 19:42.46 | spangborn | I'm glad I'm not a professional |
| 19:42.48 | spangborn | Oh wait |

| 19:48.08 | jima | aeryndunham: i hear it's pretty deadly |
| 19:48.20 | aeryndunham | apparently |
| 19:48.38 | frostyfrog | A cold on a cruise line as an employee? *shudders* |
| 19:48.41 | jima | i love reading a ticket filed by someone 2300 miles away who i don't know at all and realizing they're one of my tier2 users. |
| 19:48.56 | aeryndunham | although I think it might be strep so I asked him to go to the doctor (it's for free and down the hall, seriously) but he has rejected this |
| 19:48.57 | spangborn | RIP everyone |
| 19:49.04 | spangborn | aeryndunham: He sounds like me |
| 19:49.04 | aeryndunham | all I know is I don't want whatever he has |
| 19:49.10 | spangborn | "Nah, I'll be fine" *hacks lung out* |
| 19:49.39 | aeryndunham | I just, like, have to sleep next to this dude so I just.... don't want it :P |
| 19:50.06 | aeryndunham | overdoses on vitamin c |
| 19:50.12 | frostyfrog | Don't you technically have your own room as well? |
| 19:50.34 | aeryndunham | I do, but the office has stuck some corporate somebody in there |
| 19:50.35 | spangborn | Just give him so nyquil, put him in a rolly chair, and push him to the doctor |
| 19:50.42 | spangborn | Nobody will ever know the difference |
| 19:50.50 | spangborn | *some nyquil |
| 19:51.02 | frostyfrog | xD |
| 19:52.14 | aeryndunham | I convinced him to take dayquil this morning |
| 19:52.32 | aeryndunham | he's the kind of guy who thinks drugs are for the weak |
| 19:52.45 | spangborn | It me |
| 19:52.54 | spangborn | I have a high pain tolerance, though |
| 19:52.57 | aeryndunham | and I'm like for the love of god please partake in the marvel of modern medicine, it will MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER |
| 19:53.37 | aeryndunham | although, if I do get it, maybe I can have a day or two off work |
| 19:53.42 | spangborn | I also passionately dislike hospitals |
| 19:53.50 | aeryndunham | oh, me too |
| 19:53.52 | spangborn | If I can avoid hospitals, I do |
| 19:53.58 | TodPunk | aeryndunham: drugs are for the weak, but so is bitching about how you feel if you haven't taken them |
| 19:54.00 | spangborn | Which is telling, considering my wife works in one |
| 19:54.58 | TodPunk | aeryndunham: regarding a comment earlier, "You are your own self-limit. All fences were put up by you, and only you can tear them down." |
| 19:55.01 | spangborn | As good as medical professionals are, I just also know there's so much out of their control |
| 19:55.13 | frostyfrog | complaining about pain is for the weak |
| 19:55.34 | spangborn | Who is complaining about complainers for? |
| 19:55.35 | frostyfrog | just goes to sleep to speed up the process of getting better. |
| 19:56.00 | TodPunk | spangborn: "You have what we call a 'cold.' Now, if you let it pass, it will take about 7 days, or I can give you some medicine and it will only take a week." |
| 19:56.23 | frostyfrog | o.o |
| 19:57.19 | frostyfrog | Those placebos? |
| 19:57.23 | aeryndunham | I totally get that medicine doesn't make a cold go away faster, but it can make you feel less like you are dyin |
| 19:57.50 | spangborn | Colds don't really bother me |
| 19:57.55 | spangborn | Flu decimates me, though |
| 19:58.03 | spangborn | But that's probably because most of my life revolves around food |
| 19:58.12 | aeryndunham | lol he just went into the bathroom and I was like 'STARE AT YOUR THROAT PLZ AND SEE IF THERE ARE WHITE SPOTS' |
| 19:58.46 | spangborn | Start looking up his symptoms on WebMD and convince him it's cancer |
| 19:59.10 | aeryndunham | I wouldn't do that to him |
| 19:59.32 | spangborn | When I had an inguinal hernia that was what spurred me to actually get it taken care of |
| 19:59.38 | aeryndunham | I do think it's a just a cold though |
| 19:59.40 | spangborn | Initial thought: "This isn't THAT bad" |
| 19:59.50 | TodPunk | Yeah, I do Nyquil to help sleep it off, but my wife hates it when I get sick because I won't let her help at all and she's just like, "but I want to take care of you!" and then I have to give her some sort of concession like her tucking me in or something. |
| 20:00.02 | TodPunk | Luckily I only get sick like once ever couple years |
| 20:01.30 | spangborn | TodPunk: lol same, but my wife is a CNA so it's even worse |
| 20:01.40 | spangborn | I basically get treated like bed is a hospital bed |
| 20:02.01 | spangborn | I get hourly temperature readings, asked about bowel movements, etc |
| 20:02.11 | TodPunk | I could not do that. |
| 20:02.34 | TodPunk | Like, I'm just sitting here imagining it and I'm already frustrated xD |
| 20:02.55 | TodPunk | "No, just leave me alone! I'll be back in a couple days." |

| 20:04.07 | spangborn | my lead developer just told someone they can't do something |
| 20:04.14 | spangborn | so he comes and asks me if he can do it instead |
| 20:08.59 | aeryndunham | convinved him to go to the medical center o/ |
| 20:09.20 | aeryndunham | If only so they can give him the water dissolvable aspirin for his throat; it's amazingly effective |

| 21:45.28 | aeryndunham | Dangit. I was doing pretty well this afternoon but now that I have to go back to work in 10 mins, i'm freaking out again =( |
| 21:45.40 | spangborn | You got this! |
| 21:51.03 | aeryndunham | hopes sp :( |
| 21:51.23 | aeryndunham | I don't like this physical feeling of dread and nerves whenever I have to go in there |
| 21:52.13 | spangborn | Just think about cucumbers |
| 21:52.17 | spangborn | And you'll be cool as a cucumber |
| 21:52.46 | RyanE | just consider that most of those people you wish would die will probably die before you. :) |
| 21:53.14 | spangborn | Morbid, but funny. |
| 21:53.14 | aeryndunham | I don't wish death on them! I just wish they'd.... not talk to me |
| 21:53.30 | RyanE | depends on the day, I'd think. :) |
| 21:53.45 | spangborn | RyanE: Thanks for reminding me that it's not Friday :( |
| 21:53.54 | spangborn | This week can die in a fire already |
| 21:53.57 | RyanE | sorry |
| 21:53.59 | RyanE | you did ask. |
| 21:54.01 | spangborn | lol |
| 21:54.07 | spangborn | Valid point. |
| 21:54.16 | RyanE | ask a stupid question, get a stooopid answer. :) |
| 21:54.19 | TodPunk | aeryndunham: get angry instead |
| 21:54.24 | jholtom | its like only wednesday |
| 21:54.29 | RyanE | for a customer service job, that might not be the best advice. |
| 21:54.37 | aeryndunham | I had a really tough talk with my boss this morning, and he told me to just take my stuff and not come back unti evening, and I'm literally visibly crying (like, not subtle crying either) as I grab my bag and they're still like CAN I GET SOME HELP PLEASE |
| 21:55.03 | aeryndunham | (I'm not in trouble, he's trying to see if I can go home early because he's worried about me) |
| 21:55.30 | TodPunk | garner a sense of smug superiority |
| 21:55.48 | spangborn | That's nice of him, at least |
| 21:55.50 | spangborn | Good boss. |
| 21:56.28 | jholtom | anyone have a better utah business search engine than the one provided here: https://secure.utah.gov/bes/ |
| 21:56.45 | jholtom | because I got some tax forms at my house for a business thats apparently registered there...but the landlord nor I has any idea whose it is |
| 21:57.11 | spangborn | If they're taking a loss, maybe you should take credit and not have to pay taxes! |
| 21:57.24 | spangborn | If the president-elect does it, surely you can too! |
| 21:57.28 | jholtom | lol good idea |
| 21:58.13 | jima | i'm not sure we should use "what the president-elect does" as a meaningful metric for anything. |
| 22:01.36 | spangborn | Why not? ð |
| 22:02.07 | jholtom | because he's an unimpressive human |
| 22:02.50 | spangborn | Human seems like a lot of credit for a chimpanzee |
| 22:03.42 | youtah | Wait |
| 22:03.48 | youtah | you guys talking about #ShowerGate? |
| 22:03.51 | jima | if you want to play "monkey see, monkey do" with the PEOTUS, twitter's going to get a lot messier |
| 22:04.17 | spangborn | youtah has the worst timing |
| 22:04.38 | jima | worst, or best? |
| 22:04.52 | spangborn | Depends on how much you like jokes |
| 22:05.01 | spangborn | If you like jokes, it's best |
| 22:05.06 | spangborn | If you dislike jokes, it's the worst |
| 22:05.10 | jima | i hate jokes. with a passion. |
| 22:05.18 | jima | i also hate youtah, but he knows that. |
| 22:05.21 | jima | youtah: </3 |
| 22:05.26 | youtah | lol |
| 22:05.41 | youtah | is that an arrow? or perhaps a sword? through the heart? |
| 22:05.53 | youtah | Laser beam. Definately a laser beam |
| 22:06.09 | spangborn | Lightsaber |
| 22:06.20 | spangborn | You've been Obi-wan Kenobi'd |
| 22:06.29 | RyanE | laser beam thrown by a trebuchet. |
| 22:06.54 | youtah | Oh, I like it RyanE |
| 22:07.08 | RyanE | you wont' like it when the laser hits you in the eye. |
| 22:07.13 | RyanE | but I will. |
| 22:07.14 | RyanE | :) |
| 22:07.18 | jima | note to self: when civilization breaks down into warring factions, make sure RyanE is on your side. |
| 22:07.28 | RyanE | impractical, but fun. |
| 22:07.47 | RyanE | speaking of impractical, my propane burner is coming along fine. |
| 22:08.07 | RyanE | similar to this one: http://www.backyardmetalcasting.com/oliverburner1.html |

| 22:13.22 | aeryndunham | nope nope nope |
| 22:13.23 | aeryndunham | can't do it |
| 22:22.35 | TodPunk | I want to make a smelter |
| 22:22.38 | TodPunk | I have no reason to do this |
| 22:22.39 | aeryndunham | if one more person wants a refund because our internet isn't as good as royal caribbean's i'm jumping overboard |
| 22:22.40 | TodPunk | I just want to |
| 22:22.48 | spangborn | aeryndunham: Don't do it |
| 22:22.51 | spangborn | The pool is better to jump into |
| 22:23.30 | aeryndunham | oh good, i made it through a whole 22 minutes so far :/ |
| 22:24.03 | RyanE | TodPunk: that's why I'm doing it, for the Lulz. |
| 22:25.09 | RyanE | and do you really want to build a smelter, or just a melter? :) |
| 22:25.50 | youtah | Or you could borrow my families |
| 22:26.21 | TodPunk | aeryndunham: have you ever read Acts of Gord? |
| 22:26.36 | TodPunk | RyanE: smelter |
| 22:26.43 | aeryndunham | TodPunk: No |
| 22:26.47 | RyanE | you have a load of ore you need to process? |
| 22:27.01 | TodPunk | no, but wouldn't it be fun? |
| 22:27.13 | RyanE | I think melting/casing is the sweet spot for me. |
| 22:27.23 | spangborn | aeryndunham: I have a joke for you |
| 22:27.24 | RyanE | digging ore and refining it may be a bit out of it. |
| 22:27.42 | spangborn | How many tickles does it take to make an octopus laugh? |
| 22:27.47 | spangborn | Tentickles. |
| 22:27.50 | RyanE | heh |
| 22:28.12 | spangborn | What do you call a bathroom with a cephalopod in it? |
| 22:28.14 | spangborn | octopied |
| 22:28.20 | RyanE | How does an octopus go into battle? |
| 22:28.26 | youtah | http://i.imgur.com/8wjWIff.png |
| 22:28.27 | spangborn | Armed to the teeth? |
| 22:28.29 | RyanE | well armed. |
| 22:28.32 | spangborn | lol |
| 22:28.37 | youtah | This is my families business |
| 22:28.37 | TodPunk | aeryndunham: He ran his own video game store in Canada, http://actsofgord.com/Wrath/chapter01.php |
| 22:28.41 | spangborn | OCTOPUS JOKES FTW |
| 22:28.53 | RyanE | youtah: who is your family? |
| 22:28.58 | youtah | McGraths |
| 22:28.59 | spangborn | I need to relay some of these to my mother who works at the aquarium |
| 22:29.03 | youtah | lol |
| 22:29.11 | RyanE | well, duh |
| 22:29.19 | youtah | Star Brass Foundry and Machine |
| 22:29.19 | spangborn | youtah: Wait your last name is McGrath?! |
| 22:29.28 | aeryndunham | ok, this may make me sound liks a jerk, but someone has parked their very disabled relative next to the internet cafe and they are making kinds of horrible screaming noises and it's making me uncomfortable |
| 22:29.30 | youtah | spangborn, I own a bunch of fish houses |
| 22:29.34 | spangborn | I thought your name was You Tah |
| 22:29.37 | RyanE | what a weird name. Youtah McGrath |
| 22:29.44 | youtah | That's my middle |
| 22:29.48 | spangborn | Oh my bad |
| 22:30.02 | spangborn | My middle name is disaster |
| 22:30.16 | TodPunk | youtah: I thought you were fish house owners |
| 22:31.41 | spangborn | There's something fishy about that |
| 22:31.45 | youtah | http://i.imgur.com/1C2iAEN.png |
| 22:31.54 | youtah | My cousins pouring another mold |
| 22:31.59 | RyanE | cool. |
| 22:32.07 | spangborn | Are the platforms just to keep them from dying in molten metal? |
| 22:32.25 | RyanE | reminds me of watching them pour ingots at Geneva Steel, but a bit less hot... :) |
| 22:32.28 | youtah | several reasons |
| 22:32.35 | youtah | that is 12000 lbs melted high chrome iron |
| 22:34.59 | RyanE | I also watched them pour from the QBOP, which was an average heat size of 240 tons. Impressive stuff. |
| 22:35.08 | youtah | We make our own dutch ovens |
| 22:35.15 | RyanE | cool. |
| 22:35.17 | aeryndunham | are you all blacksmithing in your garages, or what is happening here?? |
| 22:35.20 | spangborn | I don't want to know about your gaseous expulsions |
| 22:35.24 | RyanE | but they probably weren't really dutch. :) |
| 22:35.27 | youtah | we'll put our names on them and everything |
| 22:35.39 | youtah | we've got 24" diameter dutch ovens |
| 22:35.40 | RyanE | aeryndunham: just wanting to melt and cast some aluminum. |
| 22:35.44 | RyanE | nice |
| 22:35.47 | youtah | weight about 100+ lbs each |
| 22:35.59 | RyanE | that's a serious amount of dutch oven potatoes. |
| 22:36.02 | youtah | After cooking a meal, they take about 4 hours to cool |
| 22:36.16 | RyanE | and a similar time to heat up, I'd think. :) |
| 22:36.17 | spangborn | But hipsters won't wait for that |
| 22:36.25 | youtah | Yes |
| 22:36.37 | RyanE | "hey, get another bag of charcoal" |
| 22:36.41 | youtah | but you can feed an entire scout troop or ward with no issue |
| 22:36.55 | RyanE | except the 'who's going to haul this sucker up the hill' issue |
| 22:37.14 | youtah | and we just season them in our kilns |
| 22:37.45 | spangborn | TIL youtah is feeding an army |
| 22:37.57 | youtah | I should call them a kiln... it's a "furnace" |
| 22:44.36 | aeryndunham | RyanE: That sounds like a.... reasonable hobby |
| 22:45.04 | RyanE | If I can manage to not burn my garage down, yeah. |
| 22:45.28 | RyanE | managed to smash up my thumb yesterday... holding something while drilling with the drill press. Stoopid. |
| 22:45.41 | RyanE | caught on the bit, swing around and smacked my thumb but good. |
| 22:52.20 | aeryndunham | hopes that you do not burn down your garage |
| 22:53.40 | TodPunk | aeryndunham: My friend made this in his garage this weekend: https://scontent-ort2-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t31.0-8/15994509_1224268644287975_7958495234358625757_o.jpg?oh=e435584b889ee019c85b9260beec7651&oe=5914718B |
| 22:53.55 | RyanE | yeah, especially since it's attached to the house. :) |
| 22:54.01 | TodPunk | it can be a pretty fun hobby |
| 22:54.15 | aeryndunham | wow that's cool |
| 22:54.16 | TodPunk | just takes an extreme amount of time, and can be expensive in some ways to start |
| 22:54.40 | RyanE | I like the bluing on the blade. Nice patterning. |
| 22:54.56 | TodPunk | yeah |
| 22:55.24 | TodPunk | It was his first time working with damascus steel as well, which is apparently a thing |
| 23:01.03 | aeryndunham | forces herself to study Python tonight |
| 23:09.40 | TodPunk | LDUG tonight! |
| 23:11.36 | aeryndunham | ldug? |
| 23:12.09 | levi | Lehi Developers Users Group |
| 23:12.24 | aeryndunham | aah |
| 23:13.34 | aeryndunham | that sort of thing sounds fun |
| 23:17.17 | levi | Yeah, Tod and I enjoy it anyway. |
| 23:21.52 | aeryndunham | I'll have to see if I can find anything like that when I move to land |
| 23:21.57 | aeryndunham | even if I'm the most cluless person there |
| 23:23.21 | TodPunk | I can attest that we have a lot of clueless types attend. Some attend regularly, and most improve when they want to. |
| 23:23.52 | TodPunk | I can only think of one that wanted to learn but could not get his head out of the self-loathing that kept him from learning anything. |
