00:43:54 <Lord_of_nothing> Hi
00:44:10 <Lord_of_nothing> Yestarday a cat was in our garden
00:44:15 <Lord_of_nothing> the was sssooo cute
01:03:51 <DHess_US> That is the toxoplasmosis taking over your mind.
01:06:19 <rust_collector> cats are evil
01:06:36 <rust_collector> similar evilness to horses
01:16:43 <K> horses are evil too?

01:27:44 <K> oh.
01:27:48 <K> did not expect that
01:30:28 <rust_collector> horses are BAADD

02:30:35 <rust_collector> ah, that depends on how hard you ram the thing with a forklift
02:57:46 <DHess_US> <daniels> So, anyway, it turns out it's the guy with only three fingers on one hand and wearing an eyepatch is the dude that sells the BEST fireworks.
03:00:56 <DHess_US> https://youtu.be/SYw7wrfeH0A?t=2465
04:12:13 <T3sl4> acetone peroxide?
04:12:35 <rust_collector> hmm, lasagna with a hint of jack daniels, and some moldy cheese... not bad
04:13:04 <T3sl4> pasta cake \o/
04:13:14 <rust_collector> kids like it, lol
04:15:32 <rust_collector> it is almost like I need some more
04:15:59 <rust_collector> it is a sturdy breakfast
04:21:50 <DHess_US> T3sl4, that was my thought.
04:22:01 <DHess_US> nail polish remover plus hydrogen peroxide.
04:22:25 <T3sl4> it's not /a/ material, but that's one of the most dangerous combinations
04:22:58 <DHess_US> It's a pretty short trip to get from table sale to chlorates and perchlorates but I thnk Mythbusters was looking for something simplier and acetone peroxide qualifies.
04:24:09 <T3sl4> yeah
04:24:44 <DHess_US> All of the other "simple" paths I know of involve nitric and sulphuric acid.
04:25:51 <DHess_US> They might have been thinking of nitrogen triiodide though. My friend made it with tincture of iodine and household ammonia. I made it with real iodine crystals and copy machine ammonia.
04:26:02 <DHess_US> But I doubt it.
04:27:02 <DHess_US> Nobody cares about nitrogen triiodide. But acetone peroxide is a real threat.
04:28:07 <T3sl4> bleach + piss is a more casual poisoning hazard
04:33:26 <DHess_US> Has anybody ever been poisoned by chloramines?
04:33:48 <T3sl4> probably
04:33:59 <T3sl4> don't know that that's a common occurance, at least
04:34:37 <DHess_US> Most exposure is in pools.

06:45:08 <rust_collector> heh, saab cars are fucking weird
06:45:48 <rust_collector> leaking oil on the top of the radiator support, just on top/behind the headlights...
06:57:16 <DHess_US> Oil cooler just behind the radiator?
06:57:35 <DHess_US> Some cars stack an oil cooler or transmission coolers with the radiator.
06:57:40 <rust_collector> I hope so,
06:57:57 <rust_collector> I think this one has an oil cooler, as it is a turbo model
06:58:23 <rust_collector> but it is pretty much impossible to see anything, until I get it up in the air
06:59:16 <rust_collector> funny thing is that the bottom of the hood is nice and dry, it is just on top of the front support thing, out by the corners
06:59:57 <rust_collector> but, in any case, they are fucking weird cars
07:00:43 <rust_collector> meh, I will go finish the rear brakes on this kia... I mean hyundai
07:54:39 <rust_collector> yaay! wife just gave me a "free" laptop, that I have probably paid for
08:35:47 <T3sl4> DHess_US, coppice_: heh, you know what would be fun? if, when asteroid mining takes off and the price of iridium tanks, then use that to build molten salt reactors
08:41:55 <DHess_US> Um, why iridium?
08:42:06 <DHess_US> To prevent cracks in the oraloy or whatever?
08:42:18 <DHess_US> That problem was pretty much solved.
08:42:35 <DHess_US> It was already solved back when they made the LFSR
08:42:38 <T3sl4> on second thought, i wonder if it's as corrosion resistant to that particular mix as other things
08:43:41 <DHess_US> For nuclear reactors there are a couple of problems. Water isn't very nice either but neutron embriddlement is a thing.
08:44:06 <DHess_US> Usually just some minor alloying of the stainless steel is required.
08:46:56 <T3sl4> eh, nevermind, the cross section is fairly high, it wouldn't be all that nice
08:47:10 <DHess_US> Rhodium!
08:47:31 <T3sl4> well, could still be usable as a plating, but that's its whole problem altogether, making reliable plating stackups
08:47:39 <DHess_US> Yea, there are some interesting requirements for reactor materials so they do not get neutron activated.
08:49:00 <DHess_US> There isn't a lot of suitable off the shelf materials but usually the volumes are high enough that the cost premium is low when you supply it all at once.
08:49:30 <DHess_US> But you need the whole supply chain and it adds a lot to the lead time.
08:49:59 <DHess_US> The US can't even make the stuff anymore as far as I know.
08:50:25 <DHess_US> I know the US can't make pressurized water reactor vessels. We buy them from the Japanese or something.
08:50:26 <T3sl4> they gave up on that a while ago AFAIK, because of the forging and pressing required
08:50:42 <DHess_US> No, I mean we dont' even make the materials anymore.
08:51:52 <DHess_US> They have audio of Nixon discussion the fast breeder reactor project where one of the requirements was that it bein Califonria.
08:52:14 <DHess_US> The whole thing was way too political.
08:52:52 <DHess_US> They practically threw away the LFSR research when it was cancelled.
08:53:17 <T3sl4> such is the downside of govt sponsored research
08:54:30 <coppice_> I remember when I was a kid and fuzzicists came on TV telling how easy a fast breeder was to build :)
08:55:15 <DHess_US> It ends up they were right. It was just difficult to keep legal.
08:56:34 <coppice_> Those legal issues only impeded the US. Other countries hit serious problems when they tried
08:57:25 <DHess_US> Weird, I didn't expect this, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElulEJruhRQ
08:57:38 <DHess_US> That guy reminds me of Carl Sagan.
08:58:04 <DHess_US> Huh? We didn't hit any serious problems and China now has all of our thorium research.
08:58:11 <DHess_US> And is using it.
08:59:01 <coppice_> The breeders they were talking about when I was a kid were uranium breeders
08:59:03 <DHess_US> Meanwhile thorium reactors are illegal in the US.
08:59:17 <DHess_US> All thorium reactors are breeder reactors. That is why they are illegal in the US.
08:59:41 <DHess_US> The LFSR we built and ran for years was a breeder reactor.
09:01:42 <DHess_US> T3sl4, oh, I remember now. One of the solutions to the embriddlement problem was to extract the Tc in the liquid fuel cycle. They just did not know that at the time.
09:01:56 <T3sl4> ah
09:02:36 <DHess_US> I assume there was an alloy change that would work also. But it was never serious enough for them to do anything before the project was cancelled.
09:02:54 <DHess_US> So they just never got that far.

13:08:58 <Halcyon> Ahh, shall leave you to it
13:09:04 <Ampera> no it's fine
13:09:07 <Ampera> what are you doing
13:09:07 <Halcyon> OMG Jerry is being a butthole
13:09:13 <Halcyon> Keeps throwing snow peas on the floor
13:09:21 <Ampera> aww
13:09:23 <Halcyon> Having a wine and looking after Jerry
13:09:38 <Halcyon> I also discovered he likes buckwheat crackers
13:09:54 <desu> who's jerry
13:09:57 <Ampera> would you want me to set up a mumble server so we can easily talk while you're on the PC?
13:10:03 <Ampera> desu, your mom
13:10:11 <desu> oh no my mom is a women
13:10:22 <Ampera> well
13:10:23 <Ampera> yes
13:10:28 <Ampera> she kinda has to be
13:11:03 <desu> bigot
13:12:28 <Ampera> Halcyon,
13:12:42 <Ampera> oooh, buckwheat crackers, yeah I like those too
13:12:45 <Ampera> buckwheat is tasty
13:12:51 <Ampera> brb bathroom
13:17:06 <Halcyon> Lovely :)
13:18:07 <Ampera> Halcyon, mumble server
13:18:23 <Halcyon> Mmm ?
13:18:30 <Ampera> do you want me to make one
13:18:39 <Halcyon> What does it do?
13:18:41 <Ampera> so we could voice chat more often when you're on PC
13:18:47 <Ampera> it's basically FOSS teamspeak
13:19:17 <Halcyon> Yeh can do. I can crack out my Rode shotgun mic
13:19:33 <Ampera> in other news I'm in crash diet status
13:19:38 <Halcyon> Jerry is nibbling my hair
13:19:59 <Ampera> I'm clocking in at probably around 500 kcal a day for the past three days, on average
13:20:19 <Halcyon> Why are you on a diet?
13:20:24 <Ampera> with the last 36 hours or so being around 200 kcal in total
13:20:30 <Ampera> because I am fat and need to be unfat
13:20:41 <Halcyon> You aren't fat
13:21:01 <Ampera> 170 lbs, looking to hit a target of 150lbs
13:54:16 <Ampera> Halcyon, did you slip, fall, and break your dick or something?
13:56:41 <Halcyon> Ampera, no, I just started playing with it again
13:57:01 <Ampera> I'd get mad, but I've decided to go look at some porn
14:05:13 <steve30> hi
14:05:39 * T3sl4 hugs steve30 in a distinctly non-pornographic manner
14:16:48 <steve30> yay T3sl4-hugs
14:17:00 <T3sl4> had a coffee yet?
14:17:04 <steve30> yup

16:24:57 * Halcyon prods steve30
16:25:50 <Ampera> T3sl4, you there?
16:26:03 * T3sl4 buh
16:26:06 <Halcyon> :D
16:26:13 <Halcyon> Join us on discord?

16:29:30 <steve30> 1, i'm listening to music. 2. I don't have a microphone handy.
16:29:50 <Halcyon> "Handy" suggests you can get one by rummaging in a box
16:30:05 <Halcyon> You could at least join and listen to us, then decide if you want to join
16:30:42 * steve30 whacks Halcyon with a Model M keyboard
16:31:38 <Halcyon> I saw Ampera's model M and I showed him mine :)
16:39:33 <T3sl4> Halcyon, you're alot of gay https://i.imgur.com/l08Ko5I.png
16:40:30 <Ampera> my headset is quitting on me

21:58:14 <EEVBlog1> New EEVBlog Tweet: Seems legit https://t.co/nDQUWBHvyM https://t.co/Gw2wYnrNM3
21:59:56 <rust_collector> I guess that makes more sense than many similar things I have seen
22:02:31 <coppice_> I think vertical wind turbines like that could well have their place, because of their compact design. Its not a way to get bulk energy, but to power small off grid things they look useful. Adding a tiny solar panel on top turns this one from a possible good idea to a clear greenwashing scam
22:19:09 <Halcyon> rust_collector, coppice_, do you guys game?
22:46:40 * steve30 hugs Halcyon
22:51:35 <Halcyon> Hey Steve
22:58:36 <steve30> I had a nice chocolate brownie at the coffee shop earlier
23:04:20 <Halcyon> Oh lovely
23:05:28 <steve30> now i need some more coffee
23:07:07 <Halcyon> You didnt have coffee before?
23:10:47 <steve30> I had two this morning, then one in the coffee shop.
23:14:39 <rust_collector> Halcyon: NO!!!
23:15:37 <Halcyon> Heh
23:31:25 <rust_collector> I have no idea how people have time for that. But I am slow, so that could be the reason
23:31:41 <Halcyon> I don't game either (in the traditional sense)
23:31:57 <Halcyon> I was talking about more Cards or games of the mind
23:32:42 <rust_collector> I enjoy confusing people, I guess that can be seen as a mind game
23:32:45 * steve30 likes Windows Solitaire
23:32:54 <Halcyon> Heh
23:33:21 <rust_collector> I did actually grab solitaire from xp, a few installs ago.
23:33:59 <rust_collector> That and ltspice are the only programs I have ran under wine, without lots of issues
23:55:30 <K> steam reports that i have 4600 hours spent in tf2
23:57:32 <Halcyon> Atrocious K :P
