19:41:53 <K> hello
19:45:57 <T3sl4> hey
19:49:51 <Halcyon> Evening all
19:51:44 <T3sl4> mornin
19:53:21 <Halcyon> :)
20:33:14 <Stiff> Halcyon, heya
20:34:21 <Halcyon> Hey
20:34:24 <Halcyon> What's doing?
20:34:33 <Stiff> relax time!
20:34:40 <Stiff> finish your paper for uni?
20:34:49 <Halcyon> Yup
20:35:24 <Stiff> good stuff
20:36:09 <Stiff> what are you studying exactly?
20:36:26 <Halcyon> Master of Cyber Security
20:37:18 <Stiff> sounds hard
20:37:37 <Halcyon> It's hard if you don't have an IT/Networking/Linux background
20:37:41 <Halcyon> Otherwise it's pretty simple
20:38:02 <Stiff> give me an example
20:38:09 <Halcyon> Of... ?
20:39:11 <Halcyon> I mean the subject I'm studying the semester is Cyber Defense. Its about protecting networks from hackers etc...
20:39:28 <Halcyon> Last year I did hacking into networks, exploiting vulnerabilities etc...
20:39:44 <Stiff> yeh, sounds too hard lol
20:40:22 <Halcyon> It's not for everyone :P
20:40:24 <Stiff> is the defence side of it more to do with windows or linux servers
20:41:25 <Stiff> well good on you anyway :) proud of ya
20:41:30 <Stiff> hope work is paying :P
20:42:03 <Halcyon> The tools we use are primarily Linux but popping both Linux and Windows boxes
20:42:08 <Halcyon> Of course work is paying :P

22:42:44 <Nothing\> lol note to self, when doing anything with PCBs on a table with a nice finish PUT DOWN A DAMN TOWEL OR MAT, so many scratches :(
22:55:16 <Nothing\> https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e0/Cat_demonstrating_static_cling_with_styrofoam_peanuts.jpg
22:57:09 <K> poor thing
22:57:30 <Nothing\> lol i was just caught off guard cuz i wasn't expecting that on a page about static electricity
22:57:56 <Nothing\> leave it to the internet to sneak cat pictures into damn near everything lol
22:58:58 <Nothing\> btw K why aren't you fighting aliens? :P
23:02:54 <K> dunno what you are talking about
23:03:14 <K> ima ordinary potassium here, nothing suspicious!
23:07:34 Join: steve30 ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
23:09:58 <Nothing\> lol i was referring to men in black, a corny reference to be sure
23:10:06 <Nothing\> also hey steve30
23:11:27 <Nothing\> i used to know why potassium's symbol is K, i think it's to do with another language, like Tungsten, Lead, Tin and Antimony
23:12:04 <Nothing\> Latin, Kalium
23:12:22 <Nothing\> that's right, potassium is derived from the word potash
23:15:56 <K> in latvian potasium is "Kālijs", makes perfect sense
23:17:57 <Nothing\> apparently it's thought to be derived from the arabic qali, meaning alkali
23:18:09 <Nothing\> i love etymology, especially when it comes full circle in such a way
23:19:33 <Nothing\> if you're familiar with alkane nomenclature, ie propane, butane, pentane, hexane, heptane, octane etc, the reason butane doesn't fit in with the rest of the names is because it's derived from the word butter because rancid butter produced butyric acid
23:19:48 <Nothing\> i forget what the deal is with methane, ethane and propane though
23:21:23 <K> smelly
23:22:26 <steve30> I went out on the bus this morning. I'm pleased to say the ticket machine wasn't working :)
23:24:19 <Nothing\> steve30: sounds about as reliable as my city's public transit
23:24:50 <steve30> The bus itself was fine, but in most cases, if the ticket machine doesn't work they let you on for free :)
23:25:16 <Nothing\> oh you mean the machine on the actual bus, well that's alright
23:25:45 <Nothing\> i'd figure they'd still want payment regardless, or put the bus in for maintenance since that's a good chunk of lost revenue for the day
23:29:50 <steve30> It depends on the circumstances. I wanted a return ticket which he obviously can't make for me. If I just wanted a single I could have paid and done with out the ticket.
23:30:04 <steve30> The RFID reader was fine so they could still claim for pensioners etc with passes
23:33:03 <Nothing\> ah that's weird though, the way they do it here is you can either pay cash when you board the bus, or you can use a prepaid card which is presumably slightly cheaper per ride, but before the card, besides cash you could buy tickets at the terminal or various vendors around the city and you would feed the ticket into the change machine on the bus
23:33:23 <Nothing\> or if you want a transfer they just tear one off of a stack they keep next to them
23:34:15 <Nothing\> it was nice when i lived in waterloo cuz the transfers were good for 2-2.5 hours so i could usually go downtown, do what i need and get back on one trip's worth of fare
23:36:49 <Nothing\> this wiki article says an ESD needs 40kv/cm to occur, but if you assume a cloud height of 2,000m or 6,000 feet, that works out to 80 million volts, which seems a tad high
23:37:18 <Nothing\> plus being that the climate tends to be humid during a storm, you'd expect that figure to be higher
23:38:27 <Nothing\> lol later in the article it cites a figure of 4-30kv/cm
23:42:57 <T3sl4> lightning isn't quite a billion volts, but it's more than a million
23:44:55 <Nothing\> yeah the figure i always see is in the area of 1-10 million
23:47:16 <T3sl4> 10 million wouldn't go very many meters
23:59:07 <steve30> I won a broken floppy drive on ebay for £0.99
