Unloading Podcast 109 - Part 1
Added 2024-02-20 23:37:37 +0000 UTCThis week on the C&Rsenal Unloading Podcast:
Bruno gets a poker.
Family Trees?
& Show of Shows.
Somehow, we made three topics into 2 hours.
Y'all know how it goes!

We just started offering a carry on travel case : ). Go ahead and ask me any questions or check the site-- our stated accuracy isn't quite as good as the big boys (we also don't drop the worst SPAT number like they do, either) but our volumetric numbers are right there, and we're portable, fieldable, and cheap as heck in comparison. If you find an old one under a rock (there are a lot of old ones in closets out there) we do upgrades these days as well that triple or quadruple the original potato accuracy.

2024-03-06 02:16:57 +0000 UTCAlso, I REALLY need to know about crazy ol' Adolph drinking Ballistol. I have never heard about that and it's the sort of historical knowledge I require in my life.

2024-03-06 00:52:00 +0000 UTCHey kids, know I'm late to the party (just went on vacation and have ADD anyway), but I make the Microscribe and emailed y'all to get it in Bruno's hands. Great meeting him by the way, cool guy and he let me poke at a Frommer Stop. We can figure stuff out depending on how useful Bruno finds it, hopefully we can have some fun with stuff and get a lot of good info on historical arms (I want to see you guys sell 3d printable models so we can all have our own plastic Peterson Devices to jam on us). So just ask if anyone has questions, though I'm a build guy and not the technical/software guy. And to answer Mae, even if the master probe won't go into a particular area in a receiver or something you can stick literally anything rigid with one end threaded M4 on the stylus and qualify it as a probe in our software. We have folks that do weird hooks to get into skulls or big pokey probes to stick in ballistic gel, all kinds of stuff. It's takes a little more finesse to do it with the five degree of freedom system we loaned you, but if it becomes an issue we can probably change to a six degree, which makes it easier to manipulate a probe. And as for getting you one permanently I'm sure we could talk about it, personally I think it's totally doable. Long as you never try and talk me into some gross mustard sauce.

2024-03-05 23:43:55 +0000 UTCI am interested. I'll be running this by my chief engineer to see if we are in the market. We have to travel with ours to aircraft so that sound wonderful.

2024-03-05 23:40:22 +0000 UTCShoot, forgot to check patreon for any discussion-- we're similar to faros or romers or whatever and other big arms in concept but our Microscribes are one handed and you don't have to hold the joints or anything silly like that. Just hold the stylus and poke. They're of course sensitive like any measurement instrument, but if you're not totally ham fisted you can get good numbers in the field. We use pretty robust parts and it's light, so it doesn't try to fall over like big arms you may have used.

2024-03-05 23:30:57 +0000 UTCBeer and cheese balls… why does Steve1989 having a conversation with O on the podcast come to mind? “So what is the oddest thing you snack on?”
Chairman
2024-02-28 02:05:39 +0000 UTCInteresting. Much smaller than a faro arm but same basic idea. Heads up if it has fiber optics in the arm don't touch the arm when steadying it. Always hold by the knuckle/hinge points. I'm interested how it works out for him. Keep us updated in the podcast if possible :)

2024-02-27 02:05:18 +0000 UTCmy fist thought on the family tree was a program called PAF, but I guess it isn't available anymore...
Mr. Lee
2024-02-22 01:11:58 +0000 UTCNow I'm *really* looking forward to the skS episode [note proper capitilization] after that teaser. I knew the PTRS and skS were intimately related, but didn't realize it was an Astro & Scooby Doo thing [Scooby's dad was Astro, having been sent back in time, while Scooby is Astro's multiple-greats granddad. Causality loop! I blame George Jetson...]

2024-02-21 21:46:12 +0000 UTCJust so it is more visible than as a reply, I checked with my Anthropologist friends and this is the most common current kinship diagram program. https://www.sil.org/about/news/silkin-new-software-aids-anthropological-research

2024-02-21 12:56:50 +0000 UTC@ family-tree software: I thought of diagram Software for software development. They use classes and parents and inheritance in all the object oriented programming languages. I think there are visualization solutions for planning out your class "family trees" which just might fit the bill. Let me check and get back to yall

2024-02-21 11:27:29 +0000 UTCJust wanted to say: The cut-off point of this part is absolute genius: "That's where all the old men poop" - indeed :D
Peredar
2024-02-21 11:25:20 +0000 UTCI'd be surprised if any of the existing 'family tree' style solutions will work or this problem. It sounds like you want multiple possible types of "parent" for gun, with potentially several of each type for a gun (this gun descendents from patentx X, Y, Z, guns A, B & C, ...), which is somewhat different problem space Developing a database representation of that should be fairly simple. All the bells and whistles to make it useful (data entry, visualization, etc) are likely to be much harder.
Neil Muller
2024-02-21 11:10:10 +0000 UTCFind an anthropologist. If anybody can point to towards kinship diagram software, it'll likely be the anthropologists. The local college may have some in the humanities or history departments.

2024-02-21 01:52:10 +0000 UTCThe brand name of the thing Bruno has is FaroArm. It's an engineering tool. It's a complete pain in the butt. Good luck to him but I avoid that thing like the plague at work. It has to be calibrated in a special way and if you move the arm good luck. Hopefully he has a newer type that is more user friendly. Faro brand is rough.

2024-02-21 00:50:25 +0000 UTCFinally met Mae while standing in line at last year's show. After wandering the military show Friday and gun show Saturday, I'll be driving back to North Carolina suffering shin splints from pounding that concrete. Again.
