weren't there some quotes in this thread from someone who made multiple attempts to get the laser working? and on each attempt the laser was found to have more broken and missing components that the last? at this point it's probably just a box with some loose mirrors and a scratched lens rattling around inside.

You see Noisebridge exists to allow every-day idiots access to the kind of dangers only ten thousand dollars and up can buy, which is why they have things like a laser cutter and a plasma torch and stuff that they naturally have to fix themselves because come on guys my mom says I'm smart I can figure this out right  I bet they're the kind of people who think that if they wear glasses they don't need safety goggles too, so yeah.

Do you really think Noisebridgers are going to wear laser goggles and be careful of high-albedo surfaces? No, they're going to blind themselves, and not know it until it happens because they used the cheap IR DPSS laser they pulled out of something else E: or take apart the laser cutter in order to get its laser tube, breaking it again

i have realized that a lot of this reads like a nerd version of "cop talk" you know how cops always say they responded to the scene of the disturbance, got some eyewitness reports, ascertained the suspects wherabouts, proceeded to that location, the suspect resisted arrest and attempted to flee but was apprehended and so on they never say "When we got to the bar the guy was gone, but the bouncer knew his name and several people saw what he looked like. We used the computer to look up his address and went to see if he was home. When we knocked on the door he tried to run out the back door but [Janice] was already there in case he tried something like that and we arrested him." Nerds do cop-talk too with "the couches have been reconfigured into a more optimal arrangement" and so on.

Unrelated.. I dropped by NYC resistor tonight, they gave me some free stuff and let me build a thing (an actively cooled smoking pipe  ) They are v cool people. Their power structure is "every paying member is a board member" and it doesn't go to poo poo because new members must be unanimously approved. Unlike noise bridge they have actual useful tools and don't even lock their member storage cabinets.

FrozenVent posted:hence why it's generally called "mba-speak" it's used in business a lot to indicate that you "put some thought into your decision" rather than just decided on a whim to do something. for example: "yeah, me and the guy are going to the sales conference in tahiti" vs. "after examining the benefits versus costs associated with the south pacific regional sales conference, it has been determined that the sales team will all be attending to better leverage our connections in the region.

also it removes the first person and simply states facts of Things That Happened. for example "a bullet sprang out of my gun" vs "i shot the suspect in his doorway when he opened it"

Torrie Fischer tdfischer at hackerbots.net Sun May 24 03:19:14 UTC 2015 Welp, its happened. Someone unplugged Pegasus' speaker again. Also the cabinet was left unlocked. This makes me sad. Someone went through the effort of circumventing the access control mechanism on the chibi rack. To me, this says that whoever did it doesn't really respect Noisebridge. Yeah, the lock is a simple wafer lock that is easily picked. You can probably even jimmie the door open. But still, there is an obvious indication that you're not supposed to be poking around in there without asking around and getting consensual approval from The Noisebridge. My mind immediately assumes that someone has been sleeping in the space late at night and wants some peace and quiet. "Torrie, if someone is sleeping, we should find where they're sleeping and put a camera on it to catch them!" -- Some random noisebridger (paraphrased) Thats a technical solution to a social problem. Throwing more computers at the problem won't work. My dayjob is computering and I'm aiming for less of that. Plus, if we did catch someone sleeping at the space then we'd need to figure out how they got in and who let them in and all that less-than-fun emotional hard stuff. I mean, we're all making sure that the space is completely and totally empty of non-members when you leave for the night, right? Its impossible for a non-member we haven't already granted our complete trust PROTIP: If someone wants to mute pegasus for a long while, they can totally ask about getting a shell account and write a shell script that keeps pegasus muted. Or ask for the key. Cripes, just be excellent about it and make sure you don't add entropy to the system; plug the drat thing back in when you're done. "Torrie, you should write a sad email and call out the shitheads who are sleeping in the space!" --Another noisebridger (paraphrased) I can guarantee that they're not reading noisebridge-discuss, because why would someone who doesn't give a poo poo about the space want to keep up with things, hmm? noisebridge-discuss is a good shibboleth in this respect; If they read discuss they probably do give a poo poo about the space. What can we do about this?
