Except for better rng on walking while talking

user15026

@Unionhawk I didn't think it could be that fast, to be honest. But here we are :)

Unfortunately, when I got my second filling in February, the anesthetic didn't quite take and I felt the drilling a little bit more than was comfortable

@Unionhawk NEver know when you'll stumble across some new glitch though

@Wipqozn that's true, we did think that before walking while talking was found

And that shaved a full 2 minutes

Holy shit tiny senior design team

3 people

That's pretty small. My class had one of like 20 people and one of like 6. I was in the big one

At least it'll be a cool project for my major

Last year we did some highly aerodynamics sort of project with no true relationship to my major

This time I got RFID Lock-out for a maker's space

So, student scans in, and the system unlocks the machines they're trained to use

It's going to be p fucking cool

2:29 PM

@Unionhawk soo some kind of smart lock?

Kind of, lockout in this case means cutting power to everything except qualified machines

Lockout-tagout

Lockout-tagout (LOTO) or lock and tag is a safety procedure which is used in industry and research settings to ensure that dangerous machines are properly shut off and not able to be started up again prior to the completion of maintenance or servicing work. It requires that hazardous energy sources be "isolated and rendered inoperative" before work is started on the equipment in question. The isolated power sources are then locked and a tag is placed on the lock identifying the worker who has placed it. The worker then holds the key for the lock ensuring that only he or she can start the machine...

We had this kind of goofy project

@Unionhawk what if two people are in the room at the same time?

We used such a system at Kings Island in the rides department, except with physical locks obviously, in order to safely access the restricted areas

CHECKMATE @BADP!

2:32 PM

The small group did something awesome though, I should have joined them

@GodEmperorDune unsure

That'll be a thing to work out

that does sound like a cool idea though

@Unionhawk so what, X10 to cut the power to the systems?

@KevinvanderVelden unsure

They have a more crude system in place now apparently

But it needs refinement?

You'll also need LEDs, lots of them

2:33 PM

reminds me of the "your card opens everywhere you are allowed to, feel free to try" thingy from ex machina

@arda I think you mean Deus Ex

@Unionhawk Don't lie, you know it needs more LEDs

@Unionhawk nah its from ex machina

I... may have ordered some 150 individually addressable LEDs

@KevinvanderVelden how much may have it cost?

Also: ther will be exactly one more visit to the current dentist I'm going to. (which has already been planned to replace a temporary filling with definitive filling) After that I'm going to go to a different dentist.

@KevinvanderVelden Why not? ;)

@KevinvanderVelden IIRC I read about some mars simulation mission, they could still get information, just on a X minute delay and rather limited in data or something.

Yeah, fairly sure they weren't in no contact

I think it's like a 15ish min delay

Well depends on several factors

Didn't the delay increase over time to simulate the rocket traveling to mars?

Mainly relative locations of Earth and Mars. At max it would be like 3.5 AU

Also, orbits are a thing:

> During Curiosity EDL, this delay will be 13 minutes, 48 seconds, about mid-way between the minimum delay of around 4 minutes and the maximum of around 24 minutes.

@Sterno I'm about to, although I reject this game's premise that I, Adam Jensen, can not somehow handle all the problems and must make a choice

Private Pansy

Because obviously the problem with poor people is that they have too much money

6:32 PM

@PrivatePansy I'm pretty sure that's in someone's campaign platform.

That headline seems to be saying "If the bus fares do go up, they won't go up much and should still be affordable". I'm not sure I see what your complaint is. Unless it's that they're going up in the first place. But that's not really the headlines fault

It might be better worded as "Bus fares will still be affordable if raised"

@PrivatePansy Many poor people have things like refrigerators or microwaves. Clearly they aren't poor

We have the best buses. We have the biggest buses.

Now you're stuck going the same way the bus is.

@Ellesedil Wow, the clearance of that is...a lot lower than I expected

@Ash good luck!

@Ellesedil Considering how Chinese drivers are, it's going to be interesting.

I thought Houston drivers were reckless. And then I went to Nanjing.

Also, Chinese drivers are a lot more... expressive with their horns.

Far less upsetting but also a little upsetting is the prospect of Eidos carrying on this story line and us being @Sternold by the time it reaches conclusion due to the delay between games

Of course a wall jump involves a change of direction in mid-air, that's what a wall jump DOES

In the next Deus Ex, Jensen will be Inspector Gadget.
