@Raspberry_Pi Glad to see vB2 has breakout for audio connectivity! Was going to be fiddly hand-soldering those links. ;) 14:00:28, 2012-10-16
The vB2 board has exposed pins for PCM connections and more RAM. Will need to push the idea of the "Wanderboard" add-on. 14:01:24, 2012-10-16

@ShinigamiGirl This is why I answer all "what's your paypal address" questions with "I've sent you an invoice." in reply to ShinigamiGirl 16:51:48, 2012-10-16
Useful to know! The old Kodak DC215 Zoom digital camera has a 19mm spaced mount for the sensor, like most webcams. 17:19:11, 2012-10-16

@ladyuhuru If that's in the USA, they aren't I don't think. As long as they stay under 100ft they count as hovercraft iirc. in reply to ladyuhuru 17:55:39, 2012-10-16

Got a surprise refund on my parts order. Apparently Piaggio have *discontinued* the centre-stand support for the Vespa ET4. 14:43:48, 2012-10-15
Without that bit you can't put the centre stand on, and can't stand the bike anywhere. 14:44:49, 2012-10-15
This is annoying. All other bits are on their way except the bit they all need to attach to. Will have to try and make a replacement. 14:48:17, 2012-10-15

@LupusLondonwolf It's a damn good tune. The folk who own the IT crowd auto-flagged a youtube video I used it in though. :P Resolved now. in reply to LupusLondonwolf 17:25:52, 2012-10-15

Why are people so down on mechanically reclaimed chicken?

If you didn’t pressure-hose the scraps off it and crush all the offal and bone marrow out of it, then what? About half the mass of the chicken would be going in the bin.

If it’s purely about the hygene and treatment of the MRC, then it’s actually just about limiting its usage. Drying, recompacting and so on? Can see how that’d be a problem. Using the meat-slurry for soup and stews? Seems fine.
