ok yeah I have been to that site to dream up the ultimate euro rack set up . not sure why Kosmo would have to be affiliated with modular grid ? though it would be nice eventually . give Kosmo another year and I am sure there will be over 100 modules unique to the format being made . but it looks like there would have to be a commercial backing for the format , not just diy for it to be recognized by something like modular grid . which also brings us back to the what is Sam’s intellectual property and specific size specifications .

migrane incoming Yikes. PETA were going to throw red paint on fursuiters at a furry convention. Obvious clue: fursuits are made with faux fur. I knew you were kidding but I hear all kind of stories about that organization.

sorry to all , not making lite of the horrific shit that happens to animals and the passionate work that the people of PETA do . but condemning faux fur is a bit over the top . and now that this thread has totally gone off the rails …

Given how much a fursuit costs, i would hate to see some rando toss some paint on it because they dont realize its not real fur.
You could buy a CS80 for the same price, and imagining someone dumping a pale of red paint on that just makes me sad.

Caustic,
You are a Kosmonut who is wise in the ways of the world. My thoughts about red paint thrown on a fursuit; oof. I bought head, arms, feet and tail of a fursuit at a cost even low for that back in 2010. I spent $795.

I would take this PETA/Furry story with a huge sack of salt. The news media would have been all over it, but all I see is a couple of YouTube videos seemingly mocking the idea and a Reddit thread discussing a rumour.
PETA once (about seven years ago) officially approached organisers of a Furry convention asking them to not wear real fur. They were delighted to be informed in reply that furries find the notion just as repugnant as they do.

Bitnik,
There’s different shades of impulse and response which I’ve actually familiar with. Officials speak in diplomatic tones. Someone else may speak in threatening tones. For what I’ve seen furries still remember exactly when they were threatened with thrown red paint on their CS80 valued works. I don’t ever recall an olive branch passed between the furry and PETA community and I connect with furry extensively. Furries take a lot of heat which the burns haven’t fully healed even though now you look at the improvements for social status for example esports athlete SonicFox is an open gay furry person of color loved by many in society. It may have been PETA wrote a statement to put a nice bow on it for optics. Real fur is both an ugly idea to furries in the ethical area and too expensive for a furry to own.
EDIT: I won’t take up this topic with offtopic posts anymore. Sorry everyone.

Built this today! Had to crank up the value of the capacitor to make it close fully, but it’s an amazingly useful circuit for such a low partcount. I think I understand LPGs now…
