02:11:30 <hsn93> oh i cant pm it..
02:11:42 <Ampera> sadly not due to a strange quirk of the IRC lib I'm using
02:11:51 <Ampera> it doesn't want to accept PM events, for whatever reason
02:12:05 <hsn93> EEVBlog PM-Status
02:12:21 <Ampera> It can PM you though.
02:12:29 <hsn93> yes..

02:12:50 <Ampera> Simple enough bot, I threw it together in about 7 hours
02:13:10 <hsn93> great. do you program it or you configure it?
02:14:23 <Ampera> both
02:14:48 <Ampera> It's written in Java using Kitteh's IRC library, and Twitter4j

03:56:17 <Ampera> lol
03:58:16 <steve30> my parcel came but i was asleep when the postman knocked. I'll have to pick it up tomorrow.
03:58:35 <steve30> Still, 1 week is very good time for something to arrive from America
04:03:11 <K> from america to where?
04:03:31 <Ampera> a letter from america
04:03:44 <steve30> England
04:04:00 <Ampera> I think letter to america is actually better than 500 miles
04:04:04 <steve30> Also, there's a new Simon's Cat episode on youtube :)
04:04:05 <Ampera> really beautiful song
04:04:41 * T3sl4 scritches the steve cat

04:06:32 <Ampera> T3sl4, 1 inch isn't long.
04:06:51 <Ampera> I don't know who told you that, but that's probably close to a medical record for shortest penis, I'd get that checked out if I were you
04:07:04 <K> maybe it is cold
04:07:16 <Ampera> Actually it measures exactly half an inch on my screen, I just measured
04:13:17 <steve30> My desk looks quite nice with both the 4000k and the 2800k LEDs on at the same time

05:39:07 <OK> Hi
05:40:12 <Ampera> Hi
05:41:32 <OK> Do you think I should try to learn and gain knowledge by job posting requirement or stick with something I'm interested.
05:44:27 <OK> for example, if I'm intersted in electronic but jobs in my area are mostly in power. Should I start to learn about power?
05:45:54 <T3sl4> do whatever you need to
05:46:40 <OK> please explain more
05:51:25 <DHess_US> https://i.imgur.com/dFp2ch4.png
05:52:07 <T3sl4> DHess_US: yep
05:52:28 <T3sl4> i should go put on my fleece, and take a walk through the park
05:52:33 <T3sl4> take some pictures
05:56:06 <DHess_US> I don't have any fleece and if I wear my black duster, they will send SWAT.
05:57:42 * Ampera swats at DHess_US
05:58:03 <T3sl4> downside of the last week, i got a cold; upside is, because of that, i picked up my work laptop, so i haven't missed out on anything despite the weather
05:58:31 <T3sl4> and despite having to shovel out my car from the plow mess 3/3 times :P
06:04:01 <DHess_US> Last time we had a winter storm like this, we had 2 inches of ice, falling tree branches, and no power for a week.
06:04:20 <DHess_US> And natural gas furnaces don't work without electrical power.
06:04:56 <T3sl4> yeah, nice
06:04:57 <DHess_US> Since then, I have aquired a generator to power the furnace, propane backup heat, and kerosene backup backup heat.
06:06:00 <T3sl4> i've had furnace troubles with the shitty in-wall unit in my apartment
06:06:12 <T3sl4> i've ran the oven more than a few times
06:06:27 <T3sl4> put a fan in the kitchen and there's heat, at least...
06:08:27 <DHess_US> And how do you power a 240 split phase house with a 120 volt portable generator? You build a whole house phase splitter, https://i.ibb.co/ZgGQ25v/Phase-Splitter.jpg
06:08:28 <T3sl4> i don't think we've ever had a power outage here in winter, at least
06:08:54 <T3sl4> :)
06:09:00 <DHess_US> We get significant power outages at least 3 or 4 times a year. In general two of them will be 6 hours or more.
06:09:15 <T3sl4> BFE?
06:09:35 <DHess_US> Even worse, 30 minutes west of St. Louis, Missouri.
06:09:44 <T3sl4> :/
06:10:51 <DHess_US> And why doesn't my phase splitter use more transformers? That's a 2x6 and I couldn't move it if there was four.
06:10:56 <steve30> we don't tend to get power cuts here
06:11:36 <OK> no answer
06:11:49 <DHess_US> California does or at least did when I left.
06:12:09 <DHess_US> They weren't talking about it but after Enron, they were doing rolling backouts every year.
06:13:13 <DHess_US> Were I am in Missouri they are just cheap. Lots of kickbacks and graft going on so money gets syphoned off.
06:14:27 <Ampera> Over the course of the last 10-12 years, we have had only 3 power outages I can count, only one lasting more than a handful of hours.
06:14:27 <DHess_US> Want to pour a concrete pad for a lawnmower shed? You have to get permits for tax assessemtn purposes.
06:15:05 <DHess_US> But they don't tax paving stones so I poured a concrete pad and covered it in paving stones. Fuck the tax farmers.
06:18:46 <T3sl4> hah
06:19:50 <OK> he official IRC EEVblog channel is a place for like minded people to hang out and chat about electronics, or anything in general.
06:19:51 <OK> There is just one rule, don’t be a dick.

08:05:31 <steve30> evening Halcyon
08:09:16 <coppice_> Why are people so hard on dicks? they take a real beating
08:18:34 * steve30 has a coffee
08:23:43 <T3sl4> mmm, non-dick-flavored coffee
08:28:27 <steve30> I got another person email me wanting professional walkman repair
08:28:49 <steve30> If I was actually /good/ at this kind of stuff I could probably make a business out of it
08:37:42 <T3sl4> you put way too much trust in the capability of repairpersons
09:13:27 <DHess_US> Stupid EEVBlog forum. I want to add something to a reply I made a couple days ago but I have no way to find the discusison thread.
09:13:28 <EEVBlog> If you keep saying that, I'm gonna hold you upside down and shake you until all the electrons fall out, DHess_US!
09:14:05 <coppice_> DHess_US: that pisses me off, too
09:16:44 <DHess_US> coppice_, the only way to do it is to open all of the "post message" links over that time period in my browser history and that is quite a few.
09:17:12 <DHess_US> Because EEVBlog doesn't even title the pages with the subject when you post a reply.
09:18:12 <coppice_> yeah, I resort to history too. Its extremely "I'll reply to that one later" unfriendly

11:12:58 <DHess_US> It feels like Friday and everything will be shut down for the weekend.
11:14:49 <T3sl4> what happened to the days when it was 20 below and no one gave a shit
11:19:18 <coppice_> Does being cold make it that hard to shit?
11:21:26 <DHess_US> Not far north of me they have closed schools and public buildings for the next couple days.
11:35:47 <T3sl4> coppice_: when you sit your buttocks on the outhouse seat, you may find it does
12:09:28 <mrpackethead> DHess_US, being shutdown is normal for the US now is'tn it

13:04:01 <steve30> I see VLC can chop one's video up into a jigsaw puzzle
13:04:14 <steve30> I wonder if there is any purpose to that, or is it just for fun.

21:47:12 <DogWomble> i used to be a cat owner
21:47:28 <DogWomble> she was a lovely companion, sadly lost her to kidney failure a few years ago
21:47:29 <Halcyon> I'm a dog person
21:47:33 <Halcyon> Or birds, I like birds
21:47:44 <DHess_US> Lies, nobody can own a cat. Cats own others.
21:47:50 <Halcyon> Hahah
21:47:51 <Halcyon> True
21:47:56 <DogWomble> yeah, well cats suit me better due to living in an apartment
21:48:01 <DogWomble> dogs have masters, cats have slaves
21:48:29 <steve30> dogs seem weird to me
21:48:40 <Halcyon> How so Steve?
21:48:48 <steve30> kitties are nice and cuddle
21:48:53 <steve30> *cuddly
21:49:01 <DHess_US> And dogs don't?
21:49:06 <DogWomble> the thing i liked about my cat was she was fairly self sufficient
21:49:18 <Halcyon> What about a dog that likes playing with leaves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xEX-48RHCY
21:49:32 <DogWomble> although i did once take my cat to the head when she used me to jump off the top of my kitchen cupbaord
21:49:34 <steve30> Well, I've never really liked dogs since I got bitten by some when I was young. Also they are quite noisy.
21:50:16 <DogWomble> yeah, we had a dog stay briefly in one of the units next to me, yappy barky bastard kept people awake all night because it wouldn't STFU
21:50:28 <Halcyon> Yeh yappy dogs are shit
21:50:31 <steve30> Halcyon, OK that's cute
21:50:34 <Halcyon> I like bigger dogs
21:50:44 <Halcyon> My mates in Canberra have a standard poodle
21:50:46 <Halcyon> Fuck he's cute
21:51:01 <DogWomble> And what's the deal with chihuahua's? if yo ucan drop-kick it over a fence, it's not a real dog :P
21:51:16 <steve30> Also doggy kisses seen rather sloppy
21:51:39 <Halcyon> Meh
21:51:43 <Halcyon> Some dogs are
21:52:08 <K> standard poodle, oposed to non-standard ones?
21:52:28 <Halcyon> K: You can get Poodles in 3 sizes
21:52:36 <Halcyon> Standard poodles are medium to large dogs
21:52:58 <DogWomble> So they come in medium, large and handbag?
21:53:12 <Halcyon> Pretty much
21:55:17 <DogWomble> i'm tempted to get another pet, it's a pretty big commitment though
21:55:31 <steve30> How about a womble?
21:55:43 <Halcyon> Get a squirrel
21:55:58 <DogWomble> i've been searching underground and overground for them
21:56:04 <DogWomble> can't find any that are wombling free
21:56:49 <K> ah.
21:58:34 * steve30 wishes he had a cat
21:58:45 <DogWomble> yeah, cats can be great
21:58:52 <steve30> though TBH any pet might be a bit of a handful for me
