52:10 <Ampera> Halcyon, no I've actually never used it. I mostly rely on my own media server when I want to watch stuff.
26:19 <rust_collector> merry christmas... oher people
26:22 <rust_collector> other
30:54 <Ampera> you're about 11 days late there
32:22 <rust_collector> maybe you are not one of the "other people"
51:01 <rust_collector> I have a translator app thing in my browser, and it gets very confused by youtube. Now I have a mix of making chicken burgers, and tig welding a keyway. It is sort of interesting

24:55 <DHess_US> So what causes drum brakes to rub? I just pulled them apart and the shoes have plenty of life left in them.
41:24 <rust_collector> weak return springs, maybe also the handbrake mechanism...
42:09 <rust_collector> most drum brakes are of the "duo-servo" design, which means they pull themself into the drum, when they start to make contact
43:15 <rust_collector> what sort of car is this?
47:03 <DHess_US> Old Nissan. It only makes rubbing sounds when the brakes are engaged. The drum surfaces are smooth and without grooves. I thought hte pads were worn out.
47:41 <DHess_US> I just hosed them off and am waiting for them to dry. Then I will replace the pads since I have them apart.
49:27 <DHess_US> I was expecting to see a real mess with the drums grooved.
49:43 <DHess_US> wheel bearings are fine also.
51:29 <T3sl41> wow, GCC really can't optimize this one-liner (it's a bunch of bit shifting and masking, then multiplying by coefficients)
53:33 <T3sl41> if i use local variables to hold the intermediate steps, it compiles to 400 bytes less code o.o

38:31 <rust_collector> looking at cpus makes me dizzy.
44:37 <rust_collector> speed or number of cores? arrrgh
44:48 <T3sl41> yes
44:53 Nick: T3sl41 is now known as T3sl4
50:16 <rust_collector> well, I guess a 1.6ghz anything would work well enough for anything I do
51:26 <rust_collector> oh, it is 2.7. never mind, that will be good
05:42 <DHess_US> Pads changed. Problem fixed. But I don't know what the problem was.
05:48 <DHess_US> And now my hands and car smell like guns.

28:37 <ThunderSqueak> as someone who loves to cook.... omg Ben Heck, this honestly made me cringe XD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jzhi134XyfU
30:00 <ThunderSqueak> everything from watching how he cuts ingredients to why you brown meat and then seeing what he put in it XD
46:01 <DHess_US> I only mastered steaks last year.
49:49 <coppice_> what the heck is chop suey beef?
54:14 <ThunderSqueak> coppice_, beef scraps ?
54:36 <ThunderSqueak> that is what chop suey was anyway... scraps of whatever was left at the end of the day, fried up in a wok
54:46 <ThunderSqueak> or some such
55:01 <ThunderSqueak> that cooking however made me cringe a bit :/
09:09 <coppice_> ThunderSqueak: "any old crap" sounds like the most American of dishes
09:41 <ThunderSqueak> coppice_, well, it was invented, if memory serves, during the california gold rush
11:16 <coppice_> all these electric pressure cookers appear to come from the same source. Even the ones that look superficially rather different have lots of components which look identical to every other mode
11:19 <coppice_> model
25:11 <Ampera> rust_collector, don't look at CPU clock speed, as it doesn't mean anything outside of apples to apples comparisons anymore.
25:44 <Ampera> I personally use a site called passmark for ballpark figures, also note single core performance, as it's important for some tasks like gaming, and older tasks that don't use multiple cores.
27:07 <T3sl4> meh, passmarks don't mean anything
27:11 <T3sl4> bungholiomarks are where it's at
27:45 <Ampera> lol shut up
28:13 * T3sl4 laughs buttheadedly
28:29 <steve30> I'm getting hungry again
29:00 * Ampera throws some more curry at steve30
29:07 <steve30> yum
29:21 <steve30> actually, i could just eat a curry about now
30:08 <Ampera> You can have some if you make it across the pond in time.

04:57 <root> hm
05:04 <Halcyon> Hm?
05:22 <root> exactly .... hm...
05:27 <Halcyon> Indeed
06:00 <root> how do i change my username back to normal on weechat
06:26 <Halcyon> Your nick ?
06:43 <root> yes my nick
06:46 <Halcyon> Type /nick RootMe
07:20 Nick: root is now known as RootMe
07:23 <Halcyon> :D
07:25 <RootMe> that works
07:31 <Halcyon> Seems to
08:26 Nick: RootMe is now known as SparkGap
08:31 <SparkGap> wohooo
08:36 <Halcyon> \o/
10:14 <SparkGap> installed linux on some old laptop to learn some command line stuff :)
12:09 <Halcyon> You're not used to Linux?
13:36 <Halcyon> If you already know DOS/Windows CLI commands, I find most of it translates well to Linux
13:38 <SparkGap> not much, but few years ago i tried to compile my own from scratch
13:57 <SparkGap> there was turtorial on linux from scratch website
14:00 <Halcyon> I just switched to Linux fulltime about 6 months ago
14:34 <SparkGap> so 50% i did then some error ocured and i droped that thing
15:04 <SparkGap> now i installed linux trisquel
16:12 <SparkGap> everybody were recomending linux ubuntu
16:29 <SparkGap> but i find name "Ubuntu" somewhat weird
17:07 <SparkGap> so i gone with trisquel
17:51 <SparkGap> anyway what does that "Ubuntu" even mean? how do i pronounce that?
19:09 <Halcyon> I personally use Centos and Fedora
19:20 <Halcyon> You-bun-too
22:08 <SparkGap> i just realised that tere is two eevblog chanels ?
22:17 <Halcyon> ?
22:54 <SparkGap> one on irc.AustNet.org and another on irc.afternet.org?
23:15 <Halcyon> The Afternet channel was always just a fan channel.
23:41 <Halcyon> There is also one on Undernet (apparently?)
24:02 <SparkGap> and austnet is not a fan channel?
24:18 <Halcyon> Well it's full of fans?
24:37 <Halcyon> There is a whole forum topic on it if you're interested
25:05 <SparkGap> ok, will try to google it
32:55 <SparkGap> so that one on austnet is newer than on afternet
33:45 <SparkGap> as i understood people are invitited to leave afternet and join austnet
34:36 <Halcyon> Indeed. But where did you "understand" that?
35:19 <Halcyon> This was a channel which was set up with Dave's blessing and is listed on the EEVBlog website.
35:44 <Halcyon> My guess is perhaps that you're tolling?
39:34 <SparkGap> from discusion on https://www.eevblog.com/forum/news/irc-server/
39:59 <Halcyon> Ah yes. A one or two users were a little cranky.
40:26 <Halcyon> But that's the be expected.
40:29 <Halcyon> *to
41:20 <Halcyon> I guess people just complain for the sake of complaining? Who knows *shrug*/
42:04 <SparkGap> and what is "tolling" sorry i'm not a native english speaker, dictionary doesn't give anything useful :)
42:27 <Halcyon> Hm
42:33 <SparkGap> :D
44:35 <SparkGap> Definitions of toll: charge a toll for the use of (a bridge or road).
44:50 <Halcyon> Let's go with that
45:01 <SparkGap> ok as you say :D
45:10 <SparkGap> makes no sense to me :D
45:17 <SparkGap> *but
46:55 Quit: ThunderSqueak ([email protected]) Quit: Leaving
48:11 <SparkGap> so you alse use weechat client?
48:27 <SparkGap> *do you also use weechat client?
49:06 <Halcyon> I do not
49:51 <SparkGap> still not used to command line interface
50:06 <SparkGap> can't scrool user list on the right
53:38 <coppice_> tolls are charges which are applied at bridges, often by trolls
53:55 <Halcyon> Hey Coppice
54:01 <Halcyon> How goes?
54:28 <coppice_> hey, several hours, no see
54:45 <Halcyon> Yeh, been doing housework, going to head to be shortly
54:49 <Halcyon> *fun*
57:31 <DHess_US> <Halcyon> I guess people just complain for the sake of complaining? Who knows *shrug*/
57:34 <DHess_US> Is that a complaint?
57:50 <Halcyon> An observation
03:17 <coppice_> ah, but is it? The shrug at the end seems judgemental
