51:13 <MrHitler> Hello
51:34 <Ampera> Hi
53:32 <MrHitler> I have a question. I want to build an electric chair for the negroes in my basement. How much volt do I need?
54:07 Kick: MrHitler was kicked by T3sl4 (T3sl4)
54:26 * T3sl4 dances (>^-^)>
54:41 <Ampera> you should have banned him
54:43 <T3sl4> my first mod on auseevblog
54:56 <Ampera> but I expected about as much from him
55:10 <T3sl4> that's the same guy innit? something or other jp
55:12 <Ampera> maybe not black people, I was half expecting Jews, but.
55:13 <ThunderSqueak> o.o
55:20 <ThunderSqueak> wtf
55:33 <T3sl4> Ampera: that's because you're self hating like a fucking jew
55:54 <Ampera> that's probably becuase I may or may not be a Jew.
56:07 <Ampera> probably not much of it though, if at all.
56:16 <T3sl4> I knew Jew'd say that
56:23 <Ampera> gdi
56:36 <T3sl4> You did Nazi that coming?...
56:43 <T3sl4> ...okay I'll stop
56:50 <Ampera> delete this
56:56 <T3sl4> PLS DELET
57:04 <Ampera> delete your face, life, and dog.
57:10 <T3sl4> NOT THE DOG
57:16 <Ampera> ok, then the cat
57:25 <T3sl4> NNOOTT TTHHEE CCAATT
57:38 <Ampera> fine, just delete this
57:52 <T3sl4> :P

02:43 * T3sl4 hugs ThunderSqueak
06:04 <ThunderSqueak> hi T3sl4
07:02 <T3sl4> how's it shakin?
07:15 <T3sl4> ha, get it, because it ruins your sleep schedule >_>...
07:58 <ThunderSqueak> yeah
07:59 <ThunderSqueak> ; ;
08:28 <ThunderSqueak> I have had insomnia for like a month now :/
10:10 * T3sl4 slides a hot black coffee to ThunderSqueak
10:44 <T3sl4> i mean, it's dark there around the clock right? so, doesn't much matter when you get up or not, i suppose..
11:30 <T3sl4> also there's the correlation between high lattitudes and alcohol consumption, so baileys that up if you want ;)
14:41 <ThunderSqueak> nah
30:06 <rust_collector> hey people
32:58 <T3sl4> o/
33:50 <rust_collector> I am digging thru youtube, listening to the music I forgot, and other random stuff
41:07 <T3sl4> watching a stream, eating fried taters
51:58 <ThunderSqueak> watching infinity wars eating pancakes
52:00 <ThunderSqueak> <.<
52:14 <T3sl4> how much did they cost?
52:18 <T3sl4> "everything."
57:38 <ThunderSqueak> hmm, I think after this I might watch "coming to america"
57:43 <ThunderSqueak> havnt seen that in ages
57:44 <T3sl4> :)
00:23 <coppice_> dark around the clock? interesting idea. you could set some kind of vampire story in a place like that
00:59 <T3sl4> hmm, and they volunteer suspiciously frequently for service at murdoch station the other half of the year?
03:00 <coppice_> some kind of vampire/artic tern hybrid
03:15 <T3sl4> i'd call that a tern for the worse
04:16 <coppice_> they tern up near the north pole. they tern up near the south pole
05:08 <coppice_> if they have vampire traits we'd better intern them
05:10 <T3sl4> don't they tern down for the south pole?
47:34 <ThunderSqueak> just ordered the parts to repair an atari portfolio

00:05 <mrpackethead> good evening
03:35 <ormaaj> hi
12:07 <rust_collector> elloh
52:04 <DHess_US> <ThunderSqueak> watching infinity wars eating pancakes
52:11 <DHess_US> Should have waited, https://comicbook.com/movies/2018/12/27/how-to-watch-avengers-infinity-war-snap-happens-midnight-new-years-eve
53:14 <ThunderSqueak> the movie didnt make me cry at all
53:16 <ThunderSqueak> <.<
54:45 <DHess_US> I was never into comics so I did not care.
55:04 <ThunderSqueak> same tbh
55:21 <ThunderSqueak> if you want to cry, watch a movie like "A dog's life"
55:27 <ThunderSqueak> err
55:31 <ThunderSqueak> A dog's purpose
55:53 <ThunderSqueak> to quote my ex "never again... that movie was fucked up"
55:56 <ThunderSqueak> XD
56:07 <rust_collector> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o31pmwWNUww
56:10 <rust_collector> ??
57:37 <Ampera> I don't cry at movies.
57:40 <Ampera> for I am all out of tears
58:10 * Ampera droops his hair infront of his face and turns up the industrial metal
58:53 <ThunderSqueak> a dog's purpose shows a a dog die and reincarnate over and over
59:10 <ThunderSqueak> everything from being ran over, to being put to sleep by a vet
02:37 <DHess_US> Something less srewed up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3Q0KhTWMv0

17:00 <Ampera> ThunderSqueak, sounds like a fantasy to me.
17:26 <ThunderSqueak> Ampera, oh the movie?
17:34 <ThunderSqueak> still a messed up movie
17:36 <Ampera> no, dying over and over in different ways
17:47 <Ampera> I fantacize about dying once, but to dye multiple times?
17:51 <Ampera> that would be awesome.
19:47 <coppice_> which colour do you want to go first?
21:21 <ThunderSqueak> purple then flourescent pink! :D
21:35 * ThunderSqueak could see Ampera in day glo pink o.o
21:53 <Ampera> I do like pink
22:50 <rust_collector> from my somewhat limited experience, people and animals tend to turn into very black goo.

17:37 <rust_collector> hmm, what do I have, that would have something similar to a bd277 transistor in it...
18:25 <rust_collector> it is sad. I really did like this one, it is a nice green colored one
33:06 <rust_collector> now, as I am just going to test this power supply, with a voltmeter, I guess "any" pnp transistor would work?
38:15 <DHess_US> Pretty much any PNP power transistor. The modern replacement would be a D45VH10 or D45H11.
41:36 <rust_collector> oh well. I have a feeling the regulator chip is gone. now I get 18.xx volts on the output, no matter where I set "the voltage knob"
42:08 <rust_collector> I guess this means I have to build something on my own
48:59 <rust_collector> anyway, I put the old transistor in the cheap transistor tester, and it shows up as "2 resistors"
49:34 <rust_collector> so I assume that is not ok.
52:08 <rust_collector> Now. what would be a nice noob friendly kind of power supply to build? I am thinking about just an opamp and some chunky output transistor, and some sort of max current shutdown or limiting. It is just a general purpose power supply, nothing special
00:16 <DHess_US> Lol, I always wondered what The Lockpicking Lawyer would look like. I guess I will continue to wonder. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5pV1dOlrw0
01:22 <rust_collector> hmm, I can not remember if we could see him or not, when he visited b-bill. or maybe it was the other way around
04:08 <rust_collector> hah! that is a nice way to get around lockpicking. just make it open as soon as anyone pokes it with...anything
06:42 <rust_collector> nope, no face there either
09:02 <DHess_US> They included a key in case you lost your rake tool.
09:17 <rust_collector> nice
20:04 Join: Zer0xFF ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
46:36 <Ampera> Bosnianbill did the same lock, and was able to open it with a probe.
47:03 <Ampera> however I love Bosnianbill and LPL, Bosnianbill especially is what got me into lockpicking.
55:02 <rust_collector> yeah, he seems like a nice guy
02:21 <coppice_> then crush him like a bug
04:58 <rust_collector> "splat"
05:32 <coppice_> well done. enjoy the smug satisfaction
06:16 <rust_collector> I wish he wasn't sitting in my window when he was splatted
06:37 <rust_collector> windex windex, where are you
10:38 <Ampera> HA
10:39 <Ampera> https://wjla.com/news/nation-world/organizers-cancel-womens-march-jan-19-due-to-overwhelmingly-white-participants
10:55 <Ampera> This is the best thing I've seen all day, and I just went kitten shopping.
11:41 <rust_collector> good!
12:10 <rust_collector> uuh, kitten shopping?
12:29 <Ampera> we are looking to get a new cat, and thought that it would be neat to get a younger one.
12:35 <rust_collector> are you looking for some special kind of cat?
12:55 <Ampera> We weren't able to just go out and find one, so I'm keeping an eye on a shelter we've gotten a couple of pets from before.
16:34 <rust_collector> cats are pretty handy pets. too bad they are evil
16:43 <rust_collector> almost like horses
16:50 <Ampera> We have two and they are incredibly nice.
17:00 <Ampera> They don't bite nor scratch, and love to be around us.
19:30 <rust_collector> we have 2 cats
19:39 <rust_collector> and right now, 5 dogs
20:10 <Ampera> holy shit
20:12 <rust_collector> one cat is cool, the other one has mental issues, and is scared of everything
20:15 <Ampera> do you live on a farm?
20:23 <rust_collector> not quite
20:28 <Ampera> just a ranch?\
20:35 <rust_collector> have you read animal farm?
20:44 <Ampera> Read it and listened to the song.
21:01 <rust_collector> nice. I should read it some day
21:31 <rust_collector> no, we live in a normal house, sort of outer suburb sort of place
21:33 <Ampera> Read 1984 too
22:26 * steve30 has been daydreaming about cats again
24:48 <coppice_> All George Orwell books are equal, but 1984 is more equal than others.
25:12 <rust_collector> 1349 is pretty popular over here
25:25 <coppice_> but read Animal Farm and The Road to Wigan Pier as well
30:07 <rust_collector> I have problems when I try to read books. Something or someone always disturb me, and I have to do something else. I have not even tried in the last few years

29:36 <hsn> Oh i see, how much did it take to program it?
29:42 <hsn> time wise :D
35:53 <damian> and lines / size wise, too!
37:54 <T3sl4> the lines are all what you see there; about 3 weeks so far
39:25 <T3sl4> i've got about 3.2kLOC into the main program i'm actually doing this for..

29:25 <hsn> this doom is one of first games i played in my life :D
30:11 <hsn> dos game
44:40 <T3sl4> i remember waking up early (before mom woke up), going down to the family computer (a 486SX/33) and playing doom
45:16 <T3sl4> then they turned on the password, but we (me and my brothers) found the password disable jumper on the motherboard
47:22 <damian> oo nice
47:28 <damian> i had a 468DX/2 66
47:49 <gremlinz> the ol' cmos reset
48:02 <gremlinz> 486sx/25
48:07 <gremlinz> dem were the days
48:56 * BurtyB wanted a dx50 but they couldn't get the vlb gfx working so ended up with the dx2 66 :)
48:57 <damian> wolfenstein 3d, duke nukem 3d, doom 1, doom 2, rise of the triad!
49:32 <gremlinz> leisure suit larry :)
49:40 <damian> hahaha. i played that on como 64
50:04 <gremlinz> i still have my 64
50:24 <T3sl4> old farts :P
50:30 <damian> actually, i think i played it on ummmmm
50:36 <damian> amiga?
50:42 <T3sl4> i just missed c64, or none of our neighbors ever threw one out that we would've picked up
51:08 <T3sl4> did however pick up an XT clone, learned myself QBASIC on that, also played duke 1
51:14 <damian> https://cdn.arstechnica.net/journals/microsoft.media/amiga500.jpg
51:17 <damian> yeah one of these bad boys
52:11 <damian> the first games i think i ever actually played was leisure suit larry, blues brothers and some winter olympics games on my brothers computer
52:29 <damian> and then when i got a half decent computer, it was dangerous dave, jazz jackrabbit, jill of the jungle
52:53 <gremlinz> lol half decent
52:58 <T3sl4> also, NES
53:47 <damian> yeah, we never got anything new.. so all of our computers were hand me downs, or old computers from the shop my parents owned
54:15 <gremlinz> wish i still had my ps1
54:24 <damian> just buy a new one :P
54:45 <gremlinz> strangely enough, i think you still can
54:52 <damian> yeah, they're in mini now
54:59 <gremlinz> no
55:03 <gremlinz> i mean ibm ps/1
55:18 <damian> oh
55:40 <gremlinz> found a 2nd handy in mint condition for like 1500 in the other week
55:53 <damian> goddamn
56:10 <gremlinz> they were ~2k ish new
56:14 <damian> nearly all of our computers were minced, nothing branded
56:19 <damian> but i still wish i kept some of them
56:38 <damian> my best mate kept the very first computer he put together from when he was about 15 (now 28)
56:48 <damian> last year for his birthday, his girlfriend got me to pull the motherboard out, and she framed it
56:50 <damian> looks pretty cool
57:22 <gremlinz> nice
22:45 <Ampera> good morning
22:50 <T3sl4> o/
22:56 <Ampera> mmm old machines
23:17 <Ampera> I was just thinking about possibly hooking my Pentium 3 450mhz back up
23:29 <Ampera> it needs to have Windows reinstalled on it, though.
28:29 <T3sl4> 2000?
28:38 <Ampera> No, 98SE
29:07 <Ampera> Windows 2000 is a bit new for that, and NT makes no sense on a machine like that for my almost exclusive gaming usage.
30:04 <T3sl4> i've seen 2k on a... P3 800somethingish, i think
30:28 <Ampera> yeah, but that's almost twice the speed of this machine
30:31 <T3sl4> probably fine, but i suppose goa98.se will have better performance
30:42 <Ampera> performance isn't the concern
30:46 <Ampera> compatability is the key issue.
31:07 <Ampera> Windows 2000 was a really nice OS, but in 1999, it had a lot of compatability issues with Win9x software.
31:07 * T3sl4 slaps Ampera with MS-DOS 6.22 diskettes
31:24 <Ampera> I am proud to say I don't run any non-Win9x versions of MS-DOS on any machines
31:30 <Ampera> I only have PC-DOS on my 486

38:15 <MrMobodies> Hello
38:42 <rust_collector> hey-oo
38:59 <MrMobodies> I finished my desk last night
39:01 <MrMobodies> https://imgur.com/a/8GHMX8x
39:24 <MrMobodies> Lots of problems as the wood top was warped in certain parts
39:38 <MrMobodies> and trying to prevent rattling from the baskets
39:47 <MrMobodies> but 46 plug points should be plenty
42:47 <MrMobodies> It took me about a month to decide what I want.
43:27 <MrMobodies> No more harassment from cables. They're going to be trapped in place.
44:32 <rust_collector> I think you will be happy with that, when you are done threading cables and things thru it.
45:21 <rust_collector> heh, did you consider buying a sheet metal bender at some point in that project?
45:46 <MrMobodies> The shop did ask me with all the brackets whether I can list whatever they were going into.
45:59 <MrMobodies> I might do in when I move house.
46:16 <MrMobodies> I am looking for more room.
46:48 <MrMobodies> oops not list "lift"
47:05 <rust_collector> no no, never get into the "more room" thing.
47:10 <MrMobodies> I got pain my hands from alll the work over the last 3 days and nights.
47:10 <rust_collector> it never ends
47:44 <MrMobodies> My house is too small. I live with my parents still int he attic
47:51 <MrMobodies> and we haven't hot much room to do stuff
47:58 <MrMobodies> We have a got large kitchen
48:04 <MrMobodies> with my own butler sink
48:15 <MrMobodies> and granite workstops that planned
48:26 <rust_collector> I have a modest amount of space, and it is still full of crap. Be careful
48:59 <MrMobodies> Well I have to sort out what I don't want and be shrewed with everything.
49:12 <MrMobodies> Perhaps I'll put the junk on freecycle
50:36 <MrMobodies> I did that desk because it is going to be the next work shop desk. In my workshop I have three desks and they're all joined with pine wood on the top.
50:58 <MrMobodies> Good for hiding wires but no ideal as it fits the shape of the room.
