01:08:18 Chas: I can help in-person if they end up in Seattle/Bellevue or north but I rarely travel south of Seattle.
01:10:57 Lloyd Moore: If we have a member that works at Microsoft we can also look at the Microsoft Reactor rooms. We are using those for C++ hybrid meetings and working out well.
01:12:58 Gordon Greene’s iPad: Have we approached the King County Public Library?
01:12:58 Colin Leuthold: Reacted to “If we have a member …” with 👍

01:13:25 Gordon Greene’s iPad: Alas
01:13:29 Colin Leuthold: Also a museum conference room?
01:17:17 Chas: The SnoCo Makerspace meetings are in South Everett very close to Paine Field
01:18:23 Chas: … The robotics club meetings there are in person on the first Saturday of the month at the makerspace

01:38:09 Chas: *batteries not included image was awesome ..
01:39:04 James Newton: Finished teaching the one week “live” (video) version of my robot class for Sally Ride Science / UCSD Extension yesterday. Went well.
01:40:36 James Newton: We managed to publish our Robot Programming IDE as a cloud app, so it’s available to everyone for nothing and no install needed

01:56:17 Colin Leuthold: But James, I cry if it’s my own robot and falling down.
01:56:48 Chas: With talk like that you’ll be in trouble during the robot uprising… 😉
01:58:46 Colin Leuthold: yes
01:59:39 Colin Leuthold: Same could be said of Short Circuit.

02:20:50 Colin Leuthold: C for Coulomb?

02:28:59 Colin Leuthold: Replying to “C for Coulomb?”
I think you got it right originally with C being Charge Rate.
02:29:05 Colin Leuthold: Replying to “C for Coulomb?”
02:39:59 Colin Leuthold: It’s about getting it into the right Hazardous Waste Stream.

02:50:34 Steven Kaehler: The term AGM battery is short for Absorbed Glass Mat.
02:54:47 Colin Leuthold: Instead of charging a fee at the disposal area, would it be better if they put a deposit on batteries like aluminum cans?
