30:57 <Nothing\> oh my good lord i don't think i've ever felt as close to death as i did this weekend, so glad that's over, grateful even
31:38 <Nothing\> think that prescription strength advil destroyed my stomach
33:04 <K> huh, what happened?
33:32 <K> chipmunks beat you up?
33:54 <Nothing\> i had a tooth that became abscessed, so i took these 600mg ibuprofens i got from the dentist, but i've got stomach problems already though i take naproxen once in a while so i didn't think it'd be an issue
34:27 <K> oh your poor liver
34:47 <Nothing\> then on thursday morning i started vomiting blood uncontrollably and spent the next 3 days doing that, being in incredible pain, not being able to put anything in my stomach including my meds, which in turn made me go into withdrawal and feel even worse
35:05 <K> fuck
35:23 <Nothing\> but thankfully that's stopped since i stopped the advil, i've been taking nexium to keep my stomach acid down, too
35:40 <Nothing\> and antibiotics for the abscess
35:44 <K> did get rid of that tooth?
35:54 <Nothing\> thankfully my dentist was able to see me and at least give me a script on saturday
36:10 <Nothing\> nah, they're gonna do a root canal on it, it can at least be salvaged
36:14 <K> or somthing
36:20 <Nothing\> though that's like the 4th root canal i need
36:20 <K> they didn't already?
36:49 <Nothing\> nah it's a long process so they need to book an appointment for it, plus i think they need to wait for the antibiotics to knock out the infection, at least that's what i've always heard
36:59 <K> hmm, dunno about long
37:18 <K> i've had it a couple times, didn't take long
37:27 <K> maybe your case is more complicated
37:34 <Nothing\> i think it's about 2-3 hours to do the whole thing, usually they just drill the access canal in the first appointment and then in the second they actualy gut the thing and install the posts
37:42 <K> yea, antibiotics thing might be it
37:56 <Nothing\> it depends on the tooth, too your inscisors only have one set of roots, but this is a biscupid so it's got 2 sets of roots
38:09 <Nothing\> i found out my insurance doesn't even cover root canals on molars cuz they've got 3-4 roots
38:42 <Ampera> wow that sounds like some special hell
38:50 <K> yea
38:51 <Nothing\> to say the least, yeah
39:06 <Nothing\> i don't usually mind health problems, but this was just unreasonable
39:14 <K> tooth pain is the worst
39:18 <Ampera> I slammed my leg into a stage yesterday.
39:20 <Nothing\> oh hell yeah man
39:29 <K> cant sleep cant think cant anything
39:41 <Nothing\> i've heard people say an abscessed tooth is more painful than childbirth, but i dunno that it's THAT painful
39:57 <Nothing\> but yeah, it's an all encopmassing pain that swallows up your entire being
40:04 <K> and exhaustion sets in in like 20 hours multiplies everything
40:04 <Nothing\> Ampera: damn dude, shin? or knee?
40:59 <Nothing\> oh yeah that was the thing too, i was completely exhausted cuz i couldn't sleep more than an hour the one night, but i was so anxious and strung out from being sick i couldn't sit still or relax for the life of me, so i wound up just pacing for hours and hours, shuffling back and forth like a zombie
41:17 <K> fuck it with a cactus
41:35 <Nothing\> thank god my mom remembered she had some extra ativan stashed away so i took a few of those and it took the edge off wonderfully and i could rest
41:49 <Nothing\> hell i got more sleep last night than any night when i'm healthy
42:06 <K> pink elephants
42:10 <Nothing\> didn't help i kept throwing them up though lol i was about ready to stick one up my butt or something
42:45 <Nothing\> ah i tell you though, i'm so grateful that's over
42:50 <K> ibuprofen absorbs through tongue and shit
42:56 <K> taste is a bitch though
43:42 <Nothing\> yeah actually any water soluble drug will absorb through the buccal/sublingual lining of the mouth, it's rich in blood vessels so as i understand it, the drugs dissolve into the saliva and are able to diffuse through the epithelium into the blood stream
44:12 <Nothing\> the process works for anywhere there's a large amount of blood vessels and epithilial tissues, it seems
44:30 <Nothing\> nose, butt, vagina, probably even your urethra
44:41 <K> bhh
44:45 <K> dunno about nose
44:59 <K> snorting ibuprofen seems a bit harsh
45:03 <Nothing\> well, sinuses, like when people snort drugs or you use nasal spray
45:15 <Nothing\> oh yeah for ibuprofens specifically that would be painful
45:59 <Nothing\> when i was younger in my more adventurous days i got a hold of a percodan, which is oxycodone and aspirin, i thought i'd try snorting it but i knew the aspirin would hurt so i broke off the teeniest tiniest little piece i could and did a test snort
46:10 <Nothing\> and i tell you, it felt like red hot broken glass in there, never again
46:33 <K> aspirin is acid of sorts iirc
46:43 <Nothing\> yup, very irritating to mucous membranes
46:48 <Nothing\> it seems most nsaids are
47:11 <Nothing\> i usually take pills without needing water, except naproxen cuz if it get stuck in my throat it'll feel like it's burning a hole in my throat
48:19 <Nothing\> i'm really grateful too that my tooth happened to stop hurting right when i got sick though, cuz given how much it did hurt i still probably would have kept taking the advil
49:01 <Nothing\> it's funny how you don't really appreciate how wonderful it is to just feel normal until something like this happens, most people take feeling normal and healthy as a right or something
49:44 <K> yea
49:54 <K> to lie down in bed - and nothing hurts
49:58 <K> bliss
50:08 <Nothing\> to say the least, yeah
50:26 <Nothing\> hell even just having a normal state of mind is something i've come to appreciate
51:07 <Nothing\> anywho i think i'm gonna go get a wrap, i have a powerful lust for a chicken wrap
51:51 <K> okay
40:52 <Nothing\> cool, i got a buncha 10mh 1w axial lead inductors
41:06 <Nothing\> i wanted higher but this is the highest value i could find in axial lead

42:18 <Nothing\> was thinking maybe i should buy some toroids and wind my own, but man is that a hassle, i tried winding a makeshift transformer out of a ferrite choke but it took too long and cramped up my hands
47:46 <DHess_US> Get some pot cores.
48:01 <DHess_US> They are much easier to wind and you can adjust the saturation and AL with a spacer.
48:44 <DHess_US> So pick a wire size for the current, wind the bobbin full, and then adjust the spacing for the correct inductance. It isn't perfect but it is pretty good.
50:01 <DHess_US> Like this but you need the bobbin also, https://www.electronicsurplus.com/ferroxcube-3019pl00-3c8-ferrite-pot-core-30mm-long-package-of-2

20:18 <Nothing\> oh neat, i didn't even know these existed
21:02 <Nothing\> i'm not looking to do anything specific with it, i just like the idea of making my own passives, i've made a few inductors no problem, but the one capacitor i made, though it was about 500nf it leaked so bad i couldn't even read a voltage on it after charging
21:51 <Nothing\> i basically took a sheet of seran wrap and sandwiched it between 2 sheets of al foil and folded the whole thing into a teeny square, i'm sure the sharp bits leaked like nobody's business
22:21 <Nothing\> rimstar has some videos on making high voltage electrolytics, i was thinking i should try one of those some time
32:28 <Nothing\> hrm i think i may have finally found a c64 emulator specifically for a pi
32:33 <Nothing\> combian 64
32:45 <Nothing\> never did get vice working :/
33:07 <Nothing\> wtf it's 1.4gb
33:28 <Nothing\> why does an emulator need to be that big? i don't even think the entire library of c64 games was that big
34:28 <Nothing\> at this point i'm thinking it'd be better to just buy a real c64 and a floppy drive emulator
34:54 <Nothing\> although i dunno how well that'd lend itself to development compared to an emulator
51:20 <Ampera> hi Nothing\

20:03 <Nothing\> hey Ampera i'm doing a hell of a lot better than i was this weekend, and damn grateful for it as well
20:05 <Nothing\> how bout you
20:17 <Ampera> let my grandfather have a go in my HTC Vive
20:29 <Nothing\> what's that?
20:45 <Nothing\> i've heard of em but it's not clicking
20:46 <Ampera> VR headset
20:51 <Nothing\> ah, nice
20:55 <Nothing\> i'd love to get one of those
21:53 Nick: Halcyon is now known as Halcyon1
21:56 <Nothing\> one of my fondest memories as a child with video games was when i first started playing the 1st gen 3d games and they were so immersive by comparison to the regular 2d games, it was like actually being in a whole other world, but i've never been able to recapture that feeling since
22:06 <Nothing\> makes me wonder if i a vr headset might help with that
22:40 <Nothing\> jumping flash on ps1 was one game in particular that did that for me
22:44 <Nothing\> that game was so underrated
23:13 <Ampera> What I've found is that as I've played games more and more, I find myself being totally immersed into the game, even though I'm looking at a monitor.
23:22 <Nothing\> weird i just noticed the time on my pi is wrong, it says it's 1:45pm
23:25 <Ampera> It begins to feel as if I'm properly in the game.
23:31 <Ampera> do you have NTP enabled?
23:40 <Nothing\> ntp?
23:41 <Ampera> and set to fetch time at boot?
23:47 <Nothing\> oh yeah it does that
23:49 <Ampera> well the pi has no RTC, so you need to use an external one
24:01 <Ampera> NTP (Network Time Protocol) is how that's done on Unix/Linux
24:13 <Nothing\> sometimes i'll notice when i turn it on, the time will be whatever time it was when i last shut it down, but it quickly fixes that once it's done the boot stuff
24:26 <Nothing\> this time though i dunno what the deal is, maybe it can't connect to ntp
24:43 <Nothing\> huh it's right frozen
24:51 <Nothing\> can't click it or do anything with the time
25:01 <Nothing\> or any of the icons down there, odd
25:24 <Nothing\> can't right click anything in the task bar either, but i can still switch between tabs
25:31 <Nothing\> oh wait, maybe i can't switch
25:35 <Nothing\> well this is all very odd
25:47 <Nothing\> it's like my task bar just stroked out
25:52 <Ampera> what's a taskbar
26:10 <Nothing\> whatever that thing is at the side with the icons and time and start button such
26:18 <Nothing\> i never know what the hell to call it
26:19 <Ampera> what's a start button
26:29 * Ampera has neither of those, and is joking
26:32 <Nothing\> that too, what do you call a start button on non-windows computers
26:35 <Ampera> did I ever show you my desktop?
26:39 <Nothing\> i don't think so

05:23 <Halcyon1> It frustrates me that I can't find fibre optic warning tags (that get strapped to the conduit) which has "fibre" spelled correctly.
05:32 <Halcyon1> Most of it is the retarded American way
23:06 <Lartza> First result? https://www.silverfox.co.uk/product-overview/optical-fibre-warning-labels/
23:40 <Halcyon1> Those are self-adhesive. I need the plastic tags which are suitable for outdoor
24:33 <Halcyon1> Like these: https://www.codale.com/index.jsp?path=product&part=2429208
27:35 <Lartza> https://www.comtecdirect.co.uk/product/tie-on-warning-markers/PG0413/778193
27:56 <Lartza> Most seem to originate from US, if you aren't ordering custom text
35:50 <Halcyon1> Yeh, it's annoying
35:56 <Halcyon1> Element 14 seem to have some
36:04 <Halcyon1> Might just have to order from them
37:05 <steve30> meow
37:19 <Halcyon1> Hey Steve :D
58:31 <T3sl4> hey
58:57 <DHess_US> That makes sense. We invented warning labels after all.
59:06 <DHess_US> Most come from California.
59:43 <DHess_US> Warning: This label is sticky.

12:23 <DHess_US> Oh, nevermind. He did.
