Let's use my space for something more than a coral farm

Saw it about 2 months ago..


But Gresh, 50 megawatt....blaah. How about we re-configure the 500 terawatt NIF laser?!!

Someone needs to man a taxi service over at Jimbo's on Friday night.

Driving home at 2 A.M. in the morning from the city suxxors.

 

[GreshamH]

oops it was a 50 kilowatt beam

Can the power source for that be small enough to fit on the animal though?

 

[Gomer]

oh, absolutely! You aren't thinking 5th dimensionally!

yeah but what does that fire for all of an attosecond or something?

 

[Gomer]

I'll tell you what...I get to shoot you with the YAG for 10watts of averge power and you get to shine a CW 10 watt laser at me with equal area and we'll see how it pans out

 

[bookfish]

That's all fine but the shop has a limited budget so if we can get the lasers used....
Also, I think we might have room for the man/bear/pig vs. sharktopus match we all want to see.

 

[Mr. Ugly]

Don't forget, the sharktopus spits hydrochloric acid.

 

[Gomer]

It's ok. Jim farts soda ash.

 

[Kraylen]

Did someone say welding? :x

 

[Mr. Ugly]

Jim vs. Sharktopus

Which reagent is in excess?

 

[seminolecpa]

Bearsharktopus ........ winner

and everyone knows ManBearPig is made up

 

[Gomer]

I'd like to introduce a new contender

 

[Ibn]

wait...fo' shizzle?

 

[kinetic]

It's hard reading through all the threads of sharktopus and such... is something going on soon at Jim's?

Hi Art! Since almost all the photo gurus are on this thread, I'd like to suggest a second workshop on reef photography. I believe the first workshop will be the wave/ dump tank from the Thales link. Gresham, Western Reefer and I are going to try and construct a prototype this week so we don't have a room full of people wondering what to do next! Then we have to schedule a night, get the parts list together, get the participants list together etc... Probably 3 weeks away at best... Also, we will need to pre-cut and drill stuff cause I don't want too many plastic shavings blowing around the open tanks. But feel free to stop in anytime of course.

Houser is on the prototype team as well. Not sure when we all can get together, and I have not spoken to Thales about it yet. Due to Delta being super stupid, his trip was cut short and is now home

Cool, Dave was in the other day and I can't remember what we talked about besides CO2 and how happy it makes caulerpa!
Bummer about Delta being stupid.

 

[Ibn]

Wait, he's home already?

 

[GreshamH]

Yup (you can see the story on his FB page)
