03:28 <@Mirage> The soldering in this just makes me cringe..  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yeLHgo-UzBk&ab_channel=PenguinDIY

08:35 < Evilpig> Mirage: it wasn't horrible until he started building out the actual battery portion.  good lord
08:39 < Evilpig> it was a neat project though, i'll give him that

14:03 < flux> Anyone here have any idea the odds of PN happening this year? Trying to plan vacation time.
15:56 < Evilpig> I haven't heard anyhthing official but i'd guess against not
16:10 < flux> Evil> Right on... I'm living in the northern plains now so I have to make sure I plan for travel. Sure hope it happens.
16:11 < flux> So sorry to hear about Rattle. I remember many rooftop conversations with him at Days Inn. :-(

19:55 <@jb7od> Consider the following... There's the moon- the earth is 26mi thicker than it is pole to pole due to "gravity from the moon", meaning the moon is sucking up 13 miles of ocean toward itself and there's a corresponding bulge on the other side of the planet-- 
19:56 <@jb7od> that ought to be trackable and modelable-

19:58 <@jb7od> that's a bunch of yucky maths, but for real, if it's not already in use now, weather and other events might be a little more under control than waiting to see which way the crabs burrow and running like hell the other way... 
19:59 <@jb7od> it might be useful to know what the path was the day pompeii or krakatoa blew up, definitely been plenty of sea storms to correlate 
20:05 < Evilpig> it would be interesting to see where the moon was relative to past disasters to see if there is any correlation
20:05 < Evilpig> maybe the moon has more pull than just the tides
20:20 <@jb7od> When it's going over land, I really wonder what that does as far as the plates go- especially because it's got to get magnetic underneath there, if that's really spinning molten iron in there that forms our existing magnetic field- 
20:22 <@jb7od> but basically, that effect and that the plates float is why the measurements are always off any time anybody tries to measure- it's all jiggling, not just the slosh-effect
