18:45:38 <Halcyon> Hey all
18:48:37 * T3sl4 hugs Halcyon warmly
18:48:43 <Halcyon> Nawww :)
18:48:44 <Halcyon> Hello
18:48:58 <T3sl4> the wind and cold picked back up here
18:49:07 <Halcyon> A storm is just passing over here too
18:49:13 <T3sl4> which is particularly unpleasant as it was raining earlier today
18:49:24 <Halcyon> But your cold is totally different to our cold
18:49:32 <T3sl4> you have no cold :P
18:49:41 <Halcyon> Some places have snow :P
18:49:50 <T3sl4> get your head out of the clouds
18:50:36 <Halcyon> I can't, the clouds are at my level
18:52:29 <T3sl4> anyway, the rain froze in the locks and latches in my car, and evidently this happened slowly enough that i was able to get to the bar earlier tonight, then the locks froze harder and my car is stuck
18:53:09 <T3sl4> so, i took a ride home and have to get back there somehow tomorrow, or else take a day off work
18:53:22 <T3sl4> (which actually, i wouldn't at all mind, i have other things to catch up on)
18:54:08 <Halcyon> Hehe
18:55:07 <T3sl4> i've been on location this week, so that's not the best thing for others
18:55:11 <Halcyon> What kind of car do you have that it required an old fashioned key to open the door?
18:55:21 <T3sl4> it's a '95
18:55:29 <Halcyon> That's not *that* old
18:55:47 <Halcyon> I my 1994 Celica had powered locks
18:55:50 <T3sl4> anyway, i'm not sure the electric locks are able to operate the mechanism in this state anyway
18:55:54 <T3sl4> 95 celica :)
18:55:59 <Halcyon> Oh snap
18:56:17 <Halcyon> My silly-car was my 2nd car ever, sold it many years ago now
18:56:52 <T3sl4> mine's rapidly turning into a pile of rust; i figure at this point, every year i get is a blessing :P
18:56:59 <Halcyon> My first was a 1991 Mazda 626 wagon, that had power locks too
18:57:18 <Halcyon> Actually it had cruise control and power windows too
18:57:33 <T3sl4> i actually managed to unlock both doors, it seems; but the latches are frozen hard
18:57:45 <Halcyon> I think the cruise just "gripped" a wire leading to the accelerator cable as when it was activated, you could physically feel/see the pedal moving
18:58:01 <T3sl4> yeah, that wasn't uncommon in those days i think
18:58:14 <Halcyon> Not bad for a $1000 car
18:58:26 <T3sl4> in mine, it's an actuator on a separate cable which pulls the throttle; so, you can feel it at the pedal
18:58:37 <Halcyon> Maybe that's how they worked, I don't know
18:58:40 <Halcyon> I was only 16 or 17
19:10:11 <Bluenote> Fairly common design if it was a mechanically operated thing. I had an old 'yota BJ40 and an integral part of the hand throttle was a zip-tie holding a short cable to the throttle body. =p
19:10:35 <Halcyon> Hand throttle?
19:10:43 <T3sl4> cycle?
19:10:46 <Bluenote> Yeah, what passed for a cruise control/choke.
19:11:09 <Halcyon> Hehe
19:12:52 <Bluenote> I miss that thing, it was a fun truck.
19:16:00 <Halcyon> I have chicken thighs marinading in habanero sauce for burgers later
19:16:01 <Halcyon> :D
19:16:02 <Halcyon> Can't wait
19:16:46 <Bluenote> That sounds pretty solid.
19:17:30 <T3sl4> don't let Ampera know, they'll want to get inside your thighs
19:17:50 <Halcyon> Hehehe

20:45:14 <steve30> hi
22:16:51 <K> hello
22:16:52 <EEVBlog> Hello there, K!
22:16:53 <K> yay
22:22:25 <steve30> hello
22:22:38 <steve30> aww :(
22:28:45 <coppice> didn't all cars have electric locks by the early 90s?
22:30:24 <steve30> We had cars in the 1990s that had mechanical locks
22:32:20 <coppice> by the early 80s anything moderately luxurious had electric locks. I'd be surprised if that many 90s cars still had them, except the real bargain basement Yugo class
22:33:57 <steve30> I seem to recall central locking often being an 'optional extra'
