| 00:55 | < Rex> | 'Evening |
| 01:20 | < Rex> | I came into posession of some nice cigar boxes last night, |
| 01:21 | < Rex> | A whole box of them, really. |
| 01:21 | < Rex> | A box of boxes. |
| 01:21 | < Rex> | I'm hoping I can use them for lego and frame storage. |
| 01:24 | < Rex> | They have a picture of some Galileo looking guy on them. |
| 01:25 | < locas> | make them into guitars :P |
| 01:25 | < Rex> | Guitars? |
| 01:26 | < locas> | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cigar_box_guitar |
| 01:26 | < Rex> | Those are pretty damn snazzy. |
| 01:34 | < Rex> | I don't know, I think they would be pretty great for storage though. |
| 01:34 | < locas> | possibly |
| 01:34 | < Rex> | They smell like relish, so hopefully it doesn't saturate my frames. |
| 01:35 | < locas> | I'd be careful with that :P |
| 01:35 | < locas> | put some baking soda in them and let them air out for a while |
| 01:35 | < Rex> | Well I figure I can build a little divider thing for them all and maybe cover it in felt or something to make it look nice. |
| 01:35 | < Rex> | They're a little small for a guitar, I think though. |
| 01:37 | < Rex> | Inside is about 6x7x2 1/3ish so I don't know. |
| 01:40 | < Rex> | Whereabouts do you live, if you don't mind my asking? |
| 01:41 | < Rex> | I live about 10 minutes from Cincinnati, OH. |
| 01:41 | < locas> | western ny |
| 01:42 | < locas> | about an hour out from rochester |
| 01:43 | < Rex> | I've never ventured that far North East. |
| 01:43 | < Rex> | Is the weather nice over there? |
| 01:44 | < locas> | I like it |
| 01:44 | < locas> | gets hot and humid in the summer |
| 01:45 | < locas> | and cold as shit in the winter |

| 02:01 | < Rex> | We have a shit ton of fireflies over here. |
| 02:01 | < Rex> | One was hanging out on me for about 10 minutes yesterday. |

| 10:28 | | locas [Signy@Nightstar-ns190i.res.rr.com] has joined #mf0 |
| 10:43 | < Ced23Ric> | Heya Rex & Em. |
| 10:43 | < Ced23Ric> | Buildan another company today. |
| 10:43 | < Ced23Ric> | I'll crush all my dudes down to 7 frames, I think. |
| 10:44 | < Ced23Ric> | I won't play much 1vs1 anyway. |
| 10:44 | < Ced23Ric> | And when I do, I am fine with being under max. |
| 10:45 | < locas> | a new RA company? |
| 10:49 | < Ced23Ric> | Yupp. |
| 10:49 | < Ced23Ric> | This time, with stickers! |
| 10:56 | < Rex> | Ooh, stickers. |
| 10:56 | < Rex> | I need to get me some stickers. |
| 10:57 | < Rex> | I hit a roadblock with my new frame. |
| 11:00 | < Rex> | I think I'm actually stupid. Once I close LDD I get a new idea. |
| 11:00 | < Rex> | Or maybe my brain is procrastinating. |
| 11:12 | < Ced23Ric> | Sounds probable. |
| 11:13 | < Rex> | It doesn't matter anyways, it's shit. |
| 11:15 | < Ced23Ric> | Never give up. |
| 11:15 | < Ced23Ric> | Chase your dream. |
| 11:15 | < Ced23Ric> | (Press X to Dash!9 |
| 11:20 | < Rex> | No, it's pretty bad. |
| 11:21 | < Rex> | 1 stud thick isn't enough to work with. |
| 11:22 | < Rex> | Torso, that is. |

| 12:48 | < Ceddo> | Today is a good day for stations, I think. |
| 12:53 | < Rex> | A good day for wood working, too. |
| 13:14 | | locas [Signy@Nightstar-ns190i.res.rr.com] has quit [Ping timeout: 121 seconds] |
| 14:25 | < Rex> | Yo Ced. |
| 14:25 | < Ceddo> | Yo Rex. |
| 14:26 | < Rex> | Could you tell me the rough dimensions of a frame? |
| 14:27 | < Ceddo> | Between 5.5 wide, 4 deep, 7 tall and 8 wide, 6 deep, 10 tall. |
| 14:27 | < Ceddo> | That's at least my personal build box. |
| 14:27 | < Rex> | Could I get that in inches/centimeters? |
| 14:27 | < Rex> | Just like |
| 14:27 | < Rex> | Super rough for a Chub. |
| 14:27 | < Ceddo> | Errr ... |
| 14:27 | < Ceddo> | Sec. |
| 14:27 | < Ceddo> | I'll measure! |
| 14:29 | < Ceddo> | 6.8cm tall, 4.9cm wide, 3.3cm deep. |
| 14:29 | < Ceddo> | (2.54cm = 1 inch) |
| 14:31 | < Rex> | It occurs to me that it's silly that America uses the ass backwards Imperial system after all that war stuff with that empire place. |
| 14:31 | < Rex> | Thanks |
| 14:32 | < Ceddo> | Just check which countries in the world use Imperial. |
| 14:32 | < Ceddo> | Also, gaze upon the irony that the origin country of Imperial no longer uses Imperial. |
| 14:33 | < Rex> | It's only a little bit silly. |
| 14:35 | < Rex> | Then again, it's easier to eyeball larger units as opposed to many more smaller ones. |
| 14:39 | < Ceddo> | That's just a matter of being used to it, not an inherent quality of a unit. |
| 14:39 | < Ceddo> | For example, a CD/DVD/BluRay is 12cm. |
| 14:43 | < Rex> | My argument is that 12 inches is easier to eyeball as opposed to 31? where the margin of error is too wide for how small the unit is. |
| 14:43 | < Rex> | But yes, being used to it is key. |
| 14:45 | < Ceddo> | Actually, 12 inches / 1 foot is retarded to begin with. |
| 14:45 | < Ceddo> | 1 cm, 10cm, 1m (=100cm) is just as easy to eyeball. |
| 14:46 | < Ceddo> | Especially since 1m is the average length of a step. |
| 14:46 | < Ceddo> | 1 foot, on the other hand, is not one foot. |
| 14:46 | < Ceddo> | I have shoe size 12 to 13, and I am well below 31cm / 1ft length of my foot. |
| 14:47 | < Ceddo> | My handspan is 20cm. |
| 14:47 | < Ceddo> | Etc. etc. |
| 14:47 | < Rex> | ;x |
| 14:47 | < Rex> | Silly ass British. |
| 14:48 | < Ceddo> | God these frames look awesome when posed. |
| 14:48 | < Ceddo> | I am really happy how this is turning out. |
| 14:48 | < Rex> | On a side note, my new boxes will be able to hold 6 chubs easily. |
| 14:48 | < Ceddo> | Just running low on parts. ;_; |
| 14:48 | < Rex> | I'm not so sure about anything bigger though. Should still work well. |

| 14:50 | < Rex> | Check out this Galileo motherfucker on my new boxes. |
| 14:50 | < Rex> | He looks so baked. |
| 14:50 | < Ceddo> | That is sweet. |
| 14:51 | < Rex> | That's around 800$ of cigars. |
| 14:51 | < Rex> | Dude must love him some smokes. |

| 15:23 | < Soren> | So we got a new cat and apparently he has two hobbies. |
| 15:23 | < Soren> | 1) climbing all over me in the middle of the night |
| 15:23 | < Soren> | 2) yowling. |
| 15:23 | < Soren> | Guess how happy I am not about this. |
| 15:24 | < Ceddo> | On a scale of 1 to Not? |
| 15:24 | < Ceddo> | A distinct "Totally Not". |
| 15:24 | < Soren> | More like 1 to FUCK, Kitty, Settle Down. |
| 15:32 | < Ceddo> | I am suffering. |
| 15:32 | < Ceddo> | I am 3 1x1 clip plates in dark bley short. |
| 15:32 | < Ceddo> | And they might be in a big pile I bagged up. |
| 15:32 | < Ceddo> | Maybe not. |
| 15:32 | < Ceddo> | It's Schroedinger's clip plate. |
| 15:36 | < Ceddo> | I am also debating on doing a monthly contest called "Supply Drop!" |
| 15:37 | < Ceddo> | I have so much lego I acquired, but will never use, that I could probably afford to send out a baggy or two monthly. |
| 15:41 | < Soren> | A fine idea. |
| 15:44 | < Ceddo> | In other news, I still have no idea how I am going to mount the last SSR on this company, because there is simply no room. |
| 15:44 | < Ceddo> | ... nevermind. |
| 15:44 | < Ceddo> | I found the perfect spot just by being angry at it for a lack of a perfect spot. |
| 15:50 | < Soren> | Progress! |
| 15:50 | < Ceddo> | I also learnt that a 2x3 brick makes a nice 8 tube launcher. |
| 15:50 | < Ceddo> | But a 2x2 brick just looks better. |
| 15:51 | < Ceddo> | I'll keep the 2x3 for when I'm playing with double arty, though. |
| 15:51 | < Soren> | Yup. Iām a big fan of the 2x3. |
| 15:52 | < Soren> | Looks good in arrays and box launchers on larger stuff. |
| 15:52 | < Ceddo> | For anything larger than MFZ? killer. |
| 15:52 | < Ceddo> | But in MFZ, it just looks too big. |
| 15:52 | < Ceddo> | It's larger than some torsos. |
| 16:12 | < Soren> | Yeah |
| 16:13 | < Soren> | I like it on four-legged designs. |
| 16:18 | < Ceddo> | That works, indeed. |
| 16:18 | < Ceddo> | God, I am getting parts blind, man. |
| 16:18 | < Ceddo> | Sorting black lego is the worst. |
| 16:18 | < Ceddo> | i keep losing my stacks. |
| 16:19 | < Soren> | heh |
| 16:19 | < Ceddo> | Been at this for 7 hours, and I sorted almost only black. |
| 16:19 | < Soren> | The method I use is to sort a fistful at a time into containers. |
| 16:20 | < Ceddo> | I sort by shape onto piles, then into the tackle boxes. |
| 16:20 | < Soren> | then you empty the containers, grab another fistful, start again. |
| 16:20 | < Soren> | If you have a small, shallow tray, that helps. |
| 16:23 | < Ceddo> | I think I got as much as I can mentally handle for the day. |
| 16:24 | < Ceddo> | All dark bley, light bley is in containers, and 1.5 bags of black are gone, too. |
| 16:24 | < Ceddo> | Guess I'll just gotta keep going at it. |
| 16:24 | < Ceddo> | My new tackle boxes arrived, so that helped. |
| 16:24 | < Soren> | Slow and steady. |
| 16:24 | < Soren> | mm. |
| 16:25 | < Ceddo> | Well, if I did all of it, I'd go batshit. |
| 16:25 | < Ceddo> | And/or hate it. |
| 16:25 | < Ceddo> | So I do as much as I can stomach and cut it. |
