| cmaloney | Good morning, fellow travelers | 12:47 |
|---|---|---|
| cmaloney | how's the morning so far? | 12:47 |
| rick_h_ | sleepy | 12:49 |
| rick_h_ | I should not have stayed up so late | 12:49 |
| cmaloney | Playing Skyrim? | 12:49 |
| rick_h_ | a little bit | 12:50 |
| rick_h_ | but honestly just hung out and didn't go to bed | 12:50 |
| rick_h_ | that whole "quiet time" at night sucks you in | 12:50 |
| cmaloney | I know days like that well | 12:50 |
| rick_h_ | the boy is in bed, the dogs worn out and napping | 12:50 |
| cmaloney | especially when it gets cool out | 12:50 |
| rick_h_ | just don't want to end the peace and spoil it with sleep | 12:51 |
| cmaloney | Naturally | 12:51 |
| cmaloney | how's the pupper situation? | 12:51 |
| rick_h_ | picked up an RC car yesterday and spent some time researching upgrades/mods to do to it :) | 12:51 |
| rick_h_ | she's good. Vet checked out yesterday and getting glowing reviews from everyone | 12:51 |
| cmaloney | Nice! | 12:51 |
| rick_h_ | just work, and chaos, and work | 12:51 |
| cmaloney | re: RC car - batteries or gas? | 12:52 |
| rick_h_ | https://photos.app.goo.gl/Q1YCQnMUxqvQSTt99 | 12:52 |
| rick_h_ | battery car, got my first lipo battery for it | 12:52 |
| cmaloney | nice! | 12:52 |
| rick_h_ | yea, pretty fun | 12:53 |
| rick_h_ | I reallyh want to get one of these rock crawler things | 12:53 |
| cmaloney | PLanning on bringing that for the vacation? | 12:53 |
| rick_h_ | https://youtu.be/ZTV_llRm--k?t=539 | 12:53 |
| rick_h_ | Yea, definitely think this is a camping toy to bring | 12:53 |
| rick_h_ | see if I can get the boy into wrenching/mod'ing the thing | 12:54 |
| cmaloney | INdeed | 12:54 |
| cmaloney | so, when's the model airplanes? :) | 12:54 |
| cmaloney | that's usually the natural progression. ;) | 12:54 |
| rick_h_ | airplanes scare me. I don't like driving what I can't see | 12:54 |
| rick_h_ | the drone is hard enough and it has a camera on it and hovers and gps mapping/etc | 12:55 |
| cmaloney | Silly Rick, it's not about flying them | 12:55 |
| cmaloney | I think JoDee's dad only flew a handful of the ones that he built | 12:55 |
| cmaloney | But yeah, learning how RC cars work is pretty sweet. And yeah, the modding stuff is fascinating | 12:58 |
| cmaloney | I had one of those cheap RC cars from Radio Shack and still had a lot of fun with it | 12:58 |
| cmaloney | until the antenna broke on the transmitter and I couldn't manage to get it to work right ever again | 12:58 |
| cmaloney | Photos from PyOhio 2017 are up: https://www.flickr.com/photos/mikepirnat/sets/72157693157734770 | 13:19 |
| brousch | The back of my head made it into several pictures! | 14:05 |
| rick_h_ | I like this one https://flic.kr/p/26igqg9 | 14:17 |
| rick_h_ | :P | 14:17 |
| cmaloney | I like that one too | 14:29 |
| cmaloney | https://www.flickr.com/photos/mikepirnat/29484723998/in/photostream/ < this one is where I tell everyone there's no Santa Claus | 14:29 |
| cmaloney | https://www.flickr.com/photos/mikepirnat/28485434767/in/photostream/ <- THis is where I drop the beat | 14:30 |
| greg-g | also tired this morning. I accidentaly had non-decaf yesterday (forgot to say decaf on my iced latte). Was up until about 3am. :/ | 14:30 |
| rick_h_ | :) | 14:30 |
| cmaloney | I like this one as well: https://www.flickr.com/photos/mikepirnat/28484404027/ | 14:31 |
| brousch | So fancy! | 14:31 |
| widox_ | morning | 14:33 |
| greg-g | rick_h_: I got this for Rowan this xmas. It's awesome and fun: https://www.horizonhobby.com/ruckus-1-18-4wd-monster-truck--black-red-rtr-ecx01000t1 | 14:33 |
| widox_ | wow, rick_h_ dressing up! | 14:33 |
| === widox_ is now known as widox | ||
| rick_h_ | working on my marketing :P | 14:34 |
| rick_h_ | "the fish was thiiiiis biiiiiig" | 14:34 |
| greg-g | rick_h_: and my dad got him this plane, which is even more awesome because it can correct itself mid-flight if you push a button, and the controller has 3 levels, beginner/inter/advanced which has increasing degrees of freedom (aka: beginner won't let you stall out): https://www.horizonhobby.com/product/airplanes/learn-to-fly-on-my-own/trainer/sport-cub-s-rtf-with-safe-reg%3B-technology-hbz4400 | 14:34 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: oooooh | 14:35 |
| cmaloney | greg-g: nice | 14:35 |
| greg-g | both great intro to the hobby choices, if I may say so myself :) | 14:36 |
| greg-g | (my dad has something like 4 RC planes) | 14:36 |
| cmaloney | I think they're like cats | 14:37 |
| rick_h_ | we picked up this thing yesterday https://traxxas.com/products/models/electric/58024slash | 14:37 |
| cmaloney | (as a crazy cat lady at the cat practice explained it) | 14:37 |
| cmaloney | it goes something like 1, 2, all | 14:37 |
| greg-g | cmaloney: :) :) | 14:39 |
| greg-g | rick_h_: let me know when you've taken it mostly apart (drivetrain and all) the first time, and if you get it back together OK :P I did some in-hobby-shop wrenching with the boy for our first repair, walking up to the counter with the truck a couple times "uhhh, I'm confused by this" :) | 14:42 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: yea, I was looking last night at the low CG body you can get and seems fun to take it kinda-apart to get it updated | 14:42 |
| greg-g | not having all the right tools from the outset was a mistake (mostly tiny size wrench and alan wrench) | 14:43 |
| brousch | Now you'll need a 3d printer to design and make your own parts | 14:43 |
| rick_h_ | yea, I saw the little kits and laughed "I have all the tools!" and then saw some YT video mentioning a 1.5mm hex and went...oh hmmmm | 14:46 |
| greg-g | brousch: once I have a freaking hobby/tool corner in some building that's the... third? thing I'm getting (after a real upright toolbox and a good work table) | 14:46 |
| * greg-g dreams of midwest house/basement/backyard/garage sizes | 14:47 | |
| greg-g | stupid most expensive place in the world | 14:47 |
| brousch | The problem becomes balancing your 3d printing hobby with the hobby you are using it for | 14:47 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: hah, it's still not big enough! | 14:47 |
| rick_h_ | I need my shed out back...mini-pole barn | 14:47 |
| greg-g | Have I told you lately that the bay area is stupid? :P I'm so wishing for a crash soon (sorry for any fallout! ;) ) | 14:47 |
| rick_h_ | hah, I just finally have equity! | 14:48 |
| rick_h_ | don't take it away from me | 14:48 |
| rick_h_ | it's funding my bathroom remodel | 14:48 |
| greg-g | oh, in other fun news: I may have convinced my wife that we need an f-250/some 3/4 ton truck to do our travel plans (20ish foot trailer plus slide in truck camper as a mobile office). The numbers were pretty tight, payload wise, with a halfton truck | 14:49 |
| brousch | And my roof repairs! | 14:49 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: +100 | 14:49 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: too many folks squeeze a half ton into that work vs doing it with some buffer | 14:49 |
| * greg-g has a spreadsheet, of course | 14:49 | |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: did you look at vans? | 14:50 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: I am seeing a lot of folks with smaller trailers going the van route to have more cargo space enclosed/etc and seems to be a sweet setup | 14:50 |
| cmaloney | We had a van when my parents did camping. it was quite nice | 14:51 |
| cmaloney | but we were also limited on the trailer size we could have because of where it was stored (side of my parents house isn't that long / wide) | 14:52 |
| greg-g | yeah, considering that as well, but those are $$$ and not quickly converterable to having a work area (table+chair/bench that I can sit at with my kinesis and laptop, mostly) unless you throw more money at it. We can find an old f-250 for around $5k. The cost difference will more than pay for the gas consumption difference :) | 14:52 |
| rick_h_ | yea, and since small trailers are horrible for storage space it seems great to have room for the bins for tools/water stuff/etc | 14:52 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: gotcha, yea all depends on requirements/what you can get for sure | 14:53 |
| cmaloney | just be careful with trucks. SOme of them have had rather tough lives pulling stumps and what-not | 14:53 |
| rick_h_ | hey, I've only pulled one stump out with mine :P | 14:53 |
| cmaloney | heh | 14:53 |
| cmaloney | I'm surprised it didn't put out robotic arms and just dig it out | 14:54 |
| cmaloney | seems like it would be an option on that model | 14:54 |
| rick_h_ | hey, I've got an old paid off truck now | 14:54 |
| rick_h_ | none of this fancy "adaptive cruise control" or "self parking assist" crap :P | 14:54 |
| rick_h_ | though I do want to see what it would take to get a new head unit that does android auto on it | 14:55 |
| rick_h_ | I still haven't gotten my 2018 map update to install...and it's july | 14:55 |
| rick_h_ | greg-g: that plane looks so cool | 15:07 |
| rick_h_ | maybe I do need a rock crawler and a plane...and maybe a helicoptor | 15:07 |
| * rick_h_ wonders if I can get the wife to agree to add addition to the house for an RC garage | 15:07 | |
| greg-g | :) :) :) | 15:08 |
| greg-g | rick_h_: it's a cool ass trainer | 15:08 |
| rick_h_ | yea, that video is cool with the different modes/etc on it | 15:08 |
| rick_h_ | I'm just cheering it on "do a barrel roll!" | 15:09 |
| cmaloney | rick_h_: What happened to the white beast? | 15:33 |
| * cmaloney is really behind in his knowledge of rick_h_ | 15:33 | |
| cmaloney | Apparently Guido is stepping down as BDFL | 17:17 |
| rick_h_ | yea, that's kind of big | 17:19 |
| rick_h_ | will be curious how that moves forward | 17:19 |
| cmaloney | same | 17:20 |
| brousch | So he died? | 17:22 |
| rick_h_ | no, he just got tired | 17:22 |
| brousch | But for life! | 17:22 |
| greg-g | 1https://www.mail-archive.com/python-committers@python.org/msg05628.html | 17:41 |
| greg-g | -1 | 17:41 |
| waldo323 | BDFL doesn't say whose life, could mean life span of time as BD I guess? | 19:18 |
| jrwren | python has good stewards. | 20:42 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, this shouldn't be worrying | 21:16 |
| cmaloney | more worrisome is that Guido is burning out | 21:16 |
| jrwren | i think he's been that way for a while. | 21:50 |
| jrwren | extending 2.7 support for 5 additional years was the first sign of giving up. | 21:51 |
