Ours is cleaning up and getting ready for the opening in June. They want to run memberships through patreon so I guess we'll see how that goes.

Normal people might reasonably go "OK so these electrical work bullet points, I can't help but remember how we just recently had a huge shutdown and a $30k bill fixing 'hackerspace' electrical work. Is doing our own wiring something we should really be doing?" "Self-done electrical work is legal as long as it is up to code, and the people doing the work mentioned do know their stuff so we're not repeating the past, at least not in this instance." Maybe even a "Perhaps this is an opportunity for me to run a meeting on basic electrical code so that you can understand what you see when you look at wiring in a house or building. You won't be an electrician if you attend this but at least you'll understand what you're looking at and know what some red flags are. Like help members recognize whether someone who might start wiring poo poo down the line knows what they're doing or not. Anybody interested?" Of course that's a wasted opportunity to get defensive and pissy. As much as I'd love to make some snarky comment about how this is oh so hackerspace-ish the truth is it's just a people thing. (It's still totally a hackerspace nerd thing though)

side note most normal adult people resent being unconditional-love-mothered and showered with praise for any little thing because it seems patronizing hackerspace nerds however do not in fact they really respond to it

Thought about joining Hacker Dojo, it is however now a dictatorship. Scared me, made me want to come back to Noisebridge and make people want to become members. Main goal to make Noisebridge more friendly to new people (Ex: 3D Occulus Noisebridge). lol jesus that is the member initiation process in a nutshell also they have enough money in the bank to pay for rent for 5.5 months also their lease is being renewed

Stupid poo poo No One Needs & Terrible Ideas Hackathon did we already go over how suspiciously transparent this is? project: TMI machine. Tweets whenever someone sits on toilet https://twitter.com/tmimachine. apparently the longest anyone has ever sat has been 21 seconds, and the toilet has been used less than a dozen times. either that or someone thought their privacy was being violated and shat all over the machine. which is more likely d'ya think?

Barnyard Protein posted:this thread has taught me that the top of the elevator is indeed a prime squatting location just for that reason. Please, don't gently caress around in elevator hoistways or permit anyone else to do so who doesn't know about elevators. Being crushed into a fine paste by the counterweight or the car is not something you want to happen. If you are going to try to hide in an elevator system though, hide in the machine room or something. You can usually access it from the main shaft, often the elevator can take you to the machine room if you find the right panel. Just... gently caress man don't get killed by an elevator. ayn rand hand job posted:it's a pretty old elevator, and if there was any mechanism to keep the doors closed, it isn't there now. Do you mean the elevator inner doors can't close, or just the outer doors? If the inner doors do not close anymore, you can't let anyone on that elevator until it is fixed. OSI bean dip posted:oh it gets better People should not be afraid to gently caress around with lasers and electricity. I'm a Computer Engineering student who is dual majoring in Optical Physics and building my own lasers has been rewarding, educational and loving awesome. Not to mention that the best way for the average person to get a laser is to buy a broken scientific laser and repair it. Keldoclock fucked around with this message at 07:14 on May 24, 2015 |

This is good advice, kids: it's safer to play with things that can blind you than things that can crush you to death.Keldoclock posted:Do you mean the elevator inner doors can't close, or just the outer doors? If the inner doors do not close anymore, you can't let anyone on that elevator until it is fixed. Next you'll be saying we should insulate the mains power wires going into our projects

Yeah. We were discussing ^H in a LAN thread and someone quoted horrible things from noisebridge. I had known it was a shithole since I first heard about it years ago, but I saw this thread existed and was active, so I figured I'd read the last 2 pages. loving around with lasers isn't that bad. I mean like, you pretty much have to try to blind yourself. You'd have to not wear your safety goggles, and then loving put your eye in the beam(or a reflection thereof, which is the real danger) but even then the kinds of lasers you can get when you don't have much money are going to be either high-precision low power (not very harmful) or cutting lasers (CO2 etc) in which case you would have to be the king of the bonglords to end up in a situation where you make contact with the beam.

ChickenOfTomorrow posted:people are sleeping at noisebridge again I know normal people don't want technical solutions to social problems, but at Noisebridge I thought that was the norm. I think really they want webcams to work out where people are sleeping, systems to automatically post the photos of those people to https://noisebridge.net/wiki/86, then have the front door system also have a webcam which compares your picture to any of those on the 86 page and deny those people entry. I will then look forward to the highly privacy conscious members hacking together scramble suits, and other people just walking in with Groucho Marx disguise glasses.
