03:32:00 <rust_collector> hey Nothing\
03:32:06 <Nothing\> hey man, how goes it?
03:32:21 <rust_collector> I was thinking of you earlier today
03:32:42 <rust_collector> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9OcHxiUNMA
03:32:46 <Nothing\> oh yeah?
03:32:51 <rust_collector> mmhmm
03:33:12 <Nothing\> i can't watch videos on here but i can at least look at the title and maybe the first few frames
03:33:21 <rust_collector> oh
03:33:29 <Nothing\> haha
03:33:32 <Nothing\> that's awesome
03:33:37 <Nothing\> i need one of those for the chipmunks
03:33:57 <rust_collector> a pi and legos. I like it
03:34:14 <Nothing\> oh man, i just found this thing earlier today, it lets you connect 4 pis together as a cluster
03:34:35 <Nothing\> i dunno how useful that would be though, software scarcely takes advantage of multiple cores, nevermind multiple systems
03:34:58 <Nothing\> it's a neat concept though
03:35:18 <Nothing\> i'd really like to get a lego set one of these days, but they're sooooo damn expensive now
03:35:29 <Nothing\> actually i guess they were probably expensive when i was a kid, but money wasn't an issue then
03:35:44 <Nothing\> i'd LOVE to get my hands on one of those saturn V kits
03:35:47 <rust_collector> I guess you would write your own software, if you need a bunch of pis to do things
03:35:56 <Nothing\> although apparently it's one of the biggest and most complicated kits they have
03:36:04 <Nothing\> yeah actually, it would be good for bitcoin mining probably
03:36:13 <rust_collector> eeh, ok
03:36:19 <Nothing\> apparently kodak actually tried to get into cryptocurrency a while back lol
03:36:30 <Nothing\> ididn't even know they exist anymore
03:36:55 <Nothing\> speaking of which, i wonder whatever happened to blacks, they just seemed to fade into nothingness, people worried too much what kodak was not doing
03:37:10 <Nothing\> i completely forgot blacks even existed until i just randomly remembered the jingle, blacks is photography
03:37:13 <rust_collector> could be one of those modern things where a company buy the name of some old well known company, I guess
03:37:26 <Nothing\> yeah atari's had that happen to them so many times
03:37:29 <Nothing\> activision too, probably
03:37:46 <Nothing\> i wouldn't imagine activision today is even remotely the same company that made pitfall for the atari 2600
03:38:03 <DHess_US> The performance/power of the Pi isn't very good.
03:38:12 <DHess_US> I mean compared to a desktop CPU
03:38:32 <rust_collector> right
03:38:36 <Nothing\> DHess_US: tell me about it, i dunno how anyone uses one of these things as a media centre, youtube or even videos played in vlc run at such a low framerate that it's unwatchable
03:38:38 <DHess_US> The question came up recently with the PI 4s.
03:38:52 <DHess_US> That's a different problem
03:38:58 <Nothing\> but maybe it works better on a dedicated media center OS rather than on raspbian, i'd imagine X probably uses a ton of resources
03:39:09 <Nothing\> yeah, it's down to the lack of hardware video rendering
03:39:29 <Nothing\> which i was really hoping they'd put in the 4, in fact that's all i cared about them putting in the 4, and they didn't even do that
03:39:36 <Nothing\> although maybe with more RAM it'd run smoother
03:39:47 <Nothing\> the cpu's a fair bit faster too i tihnk
03:40:08 <Nothing\> what they should do is have something where they dedicated one of the CPU cores solely to video rendering
03:41:12 <Nothing\> or better yet, make a graphics adapter shield that connects to the GPIO
03:41:17 <DHess_US> For things which matter, it is 50 to 100% faster
03:41:26 <DHess_US> But it also draws proportionally more power.
03:41:29 <Nothing\> that much, huh?
03:41:44 <Nothing\> how much more power can it draw? the pi 3 needs 2.5 amps as it is
03:41:52 <DHess_US> That isn't much considering it should be 3 times faster based on IPC.
03:42:02 <Nothing\> i couldn't even run it on my 2 amp power supply, it gave me constant low voltage warnings
03:42:21 <Nothing\> actually for some reason the standard power supply for a pi, even though it's a usb interface, it puts out 5.2v
03:42:24 <rust_collector> it can draw a lot more, with the usb c, I guess, but I think it said it needed at least 3a
03:42:24 <DHess_US> I suspect the video rendering problem is software because Broadcom wont' release documentation.
03:42:34 <Nothing\> rust_collector: yeah that seems to ring a bell
03:42:56 <Nothing\> DHess_US: from what i hear raspbian is really taxing on resources, which is what i run so it would make sense if it were software based
03:43:13 <rust_collector> Oh well, I am pretty happy about not being able to buy a pi, even if I would almost consider a 4
03:43:28 <Nothing\> yeah tbh there was really nothing about it that got me excited
03:43:45 <Nothing\> though i like the idea of physical ram, or does the pi 3 have physical ram? i can't remember
03:43:59 <Nothing\> i think i heard it just uses something like virtual memory, but i also think i remember reading somewhere it has 1gb
03:47:04 <rust_collector> I really do not care, lol
03:47:25 <rust_collector> To me, the pi is like a 3d printer
03:47:45 <rust_collector> They are cool things, but I can not figure out anythin gI would use it for
03:48:57 <Nothing\> that's how i felt about them until i needed a cheap computer
03:49:02 <Nothing\> that's about all i can think to use it for
03:49:18 <Nothing\> i tried playing with the gpio once or twice and couldn't even get an LED to blink, so meh
03:49:25 <rust_collector> yeah, but I have a stack of random computers, and most were free
03:49:52 <rust_collector> I would probably use an arduino to blink a led, not a pi
03:50:25 <DHess_US> Another thing about hte Pi 4 is that it thermal throttles very quickly.
03:50:38 <DHess_US> It really should be used with a heat sink.
03:50:45 <Nothing\> DHess_US: i get that with the pi 3 anyways
03:50:56 <Nothing\> just maxing out one core gets it up to over 60c, nevermind all 4
03:53:04 <Nothing\> wtf, i downloaded the manual for an hp prime calculator, just the table of contents is almost 50 pages long
03:54:41 <rust_collector> I wonder why british trains are so hard to get started. yes, it says cold start, but... then it is in britain
03:55:00 <rust_collector> also wonder why I bother looking at those videos, lol
03:55:21 <Nothing\> heh i found a video on starting a steam locomotive, it was really long though so i didn't watch much of it
03:56:06 <rust_collector> well, that makes a bit more sense, but cranking up a diesel engine is not very hard, in the rest of the world
03:56:14 <Nothing\> or there was another interesting video i actually did watch on how to start and drive a ford model T, man those things were not simple machines to operate
03:56:30 <Nothing\> even if you crank the engine the wrong way it can break your arm
03:57:16 <Nothing\> one sort of video i started getting into a while back was just videos taken from the dashboards of trains around the world as they run their routes, it's like watching walking tour videos but not as slow and boring
03:57:36 <rust_collector> the ignition on the T also let you start it without cranking, if you had it running not too long ago.
03:57:37 <Nothing\> there was one particular video i remember of the norwegian countryside during a snow storm, it was gorgeous
03:57:50 <rust_collector> yeah, very white
03:58:02 <Nothing\> oh really, i should look into how the ignition system works on those, i only just learned how they work on regular cars
03:58:34 <Nothing\> i've been wanting to learn about electrical busses on esoteric vehicles too, like the saturn v or various jet liners
03:58:49 <rust_collector> it is more similar to modern cars, using a coil per cylinder. Ok, so the "coilpack" is made out of wood, but
03:59:04 <Nothing\> that's pretty cool
03:59:17 <Nothing\> but i guess they didn't have any other insulating materials that were very durable
03:59:21 <Nothing\> rubber maybe, that's it
03:59:23 <Nothing\> or glass
03:59:40 <Nothing\> i think that was well before even bakelite
03:59:47 <rust_collector> Wood was a common material if you wanted to make a box
04:00:09 <Nothing\> honestly i've considered making project boxes out of wood, just because i can't get plastic ones here very easily
04:00:19 <Nothing\> plus the only thing i ever made in shop class was boxes, so it's right up my alley
04:00:25 <rust_collector> I mean, the tool boxes/bed in new trucks are still plywood. nothing wrong with wood
04:00:38 <Nothing\> not if you ask ave
04:00:47 <Nothing\> apparently playing with pieces of tree corpses is weird to him
04:01:09 <rust_collector> yeah, damn hippie
04:02:15 <rust_collector> he does not seem to mind licking parts of dead animals... I dunno??
04:03:22 <rust_collector> so, kids/wife/dogs are out of here for a few days. I went to the store, and bought butter
04:04:53 <rust_collector> otoh, the neighbors are having a bollywood themed party tomorrow, that could be interesting
04:04:54 <Nothing\> sounds like a solid meal
04:05:11 <Nothing\> there's only one bollywood movie i ever watched and it was that one with the dancing midget
04:05:22 <Nothing\> i forget what it was called but it was pretty amusing, despite no subs or dubs
04:06:00 <rust_collector> I have never seen a bollywood movie
04:06:21 <rust_collector> and not too many other movies either
04:06:33 <Nothing\> oh actually there was like a turkish rambo and turkish starwars i meant to see but forgot about ,though i don't think that's quite bollywood
04:06:55 <rust_collector> uh, no, not very, but it could be fun
04:09:42 <Nothing\> lol my cousin gave me a bag of some random electronics, mostly just power adapters, but there's one of those old M2 memory cards they used to use in cameras in here
04:09:49 <Nothing\> it looks almost like an SD card
04:10:59 <Nothing\> nothing really useful in here, got an iphone charger cradle for a car i could tear down i guess
04:12:16 <Nothing\> i dunno why, hoarding tendencies probably, i just can't bring myself to throw any of them out
04:17:19 <Nothing\> ugh constipation is such a pain in the ass, pun intended
04:18:15 <Nothing\> it's like my body's just messing with me, i'll feel like i've gotta go real bad, so i go into the bathroom and as soon as i sit down the urge goes away, it's like my body's like "hey man, i gotta poop, find a toilet ASAP. HAHAHA just kidding!"
04:18:17 <rust_collector> have a cup of kerosene
04:18:26 <Nothing\> lol or canola oil
04:18:46 <Nothing\> i watched a video where LA beast drank a gallon of canola oil and he said it was literally leaking out of his ass the next day
04:18:48 <rust_collector> doesn't have to be canadian
04:19:56 <Nothing\> i read about this guy who got a robotic colon, that sounded like a nice convenience, at least compared to a colostomy bag
04:20:05 <Nothing\> he could literally poop at the push of a button
04:20:12 <rust_collector> BOOM!
04:20:16 <Nothing\> lol
04:21:10 <Nothing\> man i'm bored, bored and idle
04:21:22 <rust_collector> twist his nipple, and pppprrrrrtttttt
04:21:25 <Nothing\> well, not so much bored as anhedonic, but i guess the two go hand in hand
04:21:34 <Nothing\> i have nipples, can you milk me?
04:21:53 <rust_collector> do you have a robotic colon hooked up to it?
04:22:00 <Nothing\> lol
04:22:17 <Nothing\> you just made me picture somebody pooping out of their nipples, now there's something i didn't expect to think about today
04:22:34 <Nothing\> sounds almost like an art project or something
04:23:01 <rust_collector> have you condidered a slight lobotomy?
04:23:08 <Nothing\> juxtaposing the visceral disgust one gets from feces with the purity and beauty of breastfeeding
04:23:19 <Nothing\> lol always
04:23:24 <rust_collector> eat shit kid
04:23:27 <Nothing\> i've always espoused that having a brain is a terrible liability
04:23:32 <rust_collector> yea
04:23:34 <Nothing\> lol gives new meaning to the term eat shit huh
04:24:25 <Nothing\> huh i just learned 2 new words, frit and mantissa
04:24:59 <Nothing\> frit is those little black dots on a windshield, and a mantissa is the base part of scientific notation, so 5*10^2 5 is the mantissa
04:25:09 <Nothing\> sounds like a surname or something, mantissa
04:25:10 <T3sl41> frit is ground glass
04:25:18 <Nothing\> really, i didn't know that
04:25:46 <Nothing\> you mean ground like a ground glass joint in chemistry glassware? or ground as in ground to a powder?
04:25:48 <T3sl41> colored ground glass might be applied as a glaze or enamel, printing or coloring something
04:25:54 Nick: T3sl41 is now known as T3sl4
04:25:57 <T3sl4> powder
04:26:00 <Nothing\> ah
04:26:02 <rust_collector> nerd
04:26:11 <Nothing\> language is awesome
04:26:13 * T3sl4 melts rust_collector into a ferric frit
04:26:25 <Nothing\> your whole personality and understanding of the world hinges on your grasp of language
04:26:30 <Nothing\> hell, your very intelligence hinges on it
04:26:36 * rust_collector is waiting for aluminum powder, and
04:27:06 <Nothing\> before closed captioning and other things to help deaf people, deaf people would often have pretty significant mental disabilities on account of their limited language skills
04:27:13 <Nothing\> or at least they would appear to have such disabilities
04:27:44 Quit: desu ([email protected]) Connection closed
04:28:38 <Nothing\> i think being deaf would be a terribly claustrophobic experience, blindness too
04:29:09 * steve30 hugs T3sl4
04:29:36 <Nothing\> ugh it's too damn hot
04:29:44 <Nothing\> 37 with the humidity :/
04:30:08 <rust_collector> I wonder if...if I got deaf... would my tinnitus be more or less annoying?
04:30:18 <T3sl4> *steve30ish hugs*
04:30:26 <Nothing\> it's crazy, i wment for a walk last night at like 10pm, and the road was still hot from the sun
04:30:31 <Nothing\> rust_collector: more, believe me
04:30:55 <Nothing\> i have deafening tinnitus, i can hear it over fans, traffic, white noise, just about anything, and when i wear my earplugs to sleep at night it becomes all i can hear
04:31:07 <steve30> its quite hot here today, but still comfortable
04:31:11 <Nothing\> thankfully it doesn't distress me very much, if at all, actually i can meditate on it sometimes even
04:31:13 <T3sl4> depends what kind of deafness
04:31:20 <rust_collector> if I was properly deaf, maybe it would stop.
04:31:56 <Nothing\> i have a lot of sensory input issues though, i constantly have this thing over my vision called eigengrau, its' like that greyish sorta "color" you see when you're in pitch black, but i have it overlaid on top of everything i see constantly
04:32:33 <rust_collector> but otoh, my tinnitus is pretty nice. it is like being some distance from a large waterfall, with pretty women bathing, and...
04:32:35 <T3sl4> fovea?
04:32:48 <Nothing\> and i get this visual snow, which looks sorta like static on a tv, but again covering the entirety of my vision, and things like halos and auras around lights, really bad negative after images, getting headbeams in the face at night practically blinds me for a minute or so
04:33:06 <Nothing\> T3sl4: best i can figure it's something called HPPD from my history of drug use
04:33:34 <Nothing\> basically just a buncha benign but spurious sensations
04:34:08 <Nothing\> either that or i've had multiple sclerosis for 15 years and it's never gotten any worse or caused any other symptoms lol
04:35:01 <Nothing\> it used to distress me a lot, it caused a lot of derealization where everything would suddenly feel really surreal, almost dreamlike and i get sort of dissociated from my surroundings, but for the most part i've learned to live with it
04:35:21 <Nothing\> just like the tinnitus, it's just become part of the regular background noise of day to day life
04:36:43 <Nothing\> i could never figured out if it's pronounced tin-eye-tis or tin-ih-tis i always figured tin-eye-tis should be spelled with itis as the suffix, but itis in medical terms means inflammation, so it doesn't have anything to do with that
04:37:51 <rust_collector> Tinny-tuss is my version
04:39:03 <Nothing\> lol apparently chuck berry sung that dingaling song
04:39:18 <Nothing\> i dunno why but i always imagined it was sung by a nerdy little white guy
04:40:23 <rust_collector> that looks like "gunther"
04:40:26 <Nothing\> ugh crhomium's crapping out
04:40:55 <Nothing\> you mean gunter
04:40:57 <Nothing\> and ginter
04:41:03 <Nothing\> and ginty
04:41:07 <Nothing\> and so on
04:41:34 <Nothing\> ah i've gotta watch that again, i think i stopped around the 9th season cuz i couldn't find any new ones on BT for some reason
04:41:43 <rust_collector> I always think of that song. uuh. Günther and the sunshine girls
04:41:51 <Nothing\> never heard of it
04:41:54 <rust_collector> ding dong song
04:41:57 <Nothing\> ah
04:42:13 <Nothing\> lol what's up with these birds in my back yard always walking around with their mouths open
04:42:33 <rust_collector> beats getting a peanut in their eye
04:42:41 <Nothing\> i keep seeing a starling doing it and i thought it was just brain damaged or something, as most starlings seem to be pretty dumb, but the grackles are doing it too now
04:42:46 <rust_collector> it could be hot
04:43:02 <Nothing\> actually yeah it might be like panting or something to them
04:43:20 <Nothing\> i wonder how a bird even manages its body heat, i was thinking how much it must suck to be covered in black feathers when it's that warm out
04:43:46 <rust_collector> yeah, like some pakistani woman
04:43:54 <rust_collector> well, maybe they don't have feathers
04:43:59 <Nothing\> oh man i feel so bad for them
04:44:13 <Nothing\> it must be suffocating under those veils, i forget what they're called
04:44:22 <T3sl4> burqa
04:44:26 <Nothing\> that's right
04:44:51 <Nothing\> i saw a sign in somebody's yard the other day claiming canada was under sharia law, that's news to me
04:44:56 <Nothing\> here i thought we were a free country
04:45:07 <rust_collector> hah
04:45:21 <rust_collector> free, pickup only
04:45:24 <Nothing\> it was a political statement or something so they were trying to say the current legislation was akin to sharia law i guess, at least that's how i interpretted it
04:46:01 <Nothing\> lol that just reminds me of that bit in family guy where the guy's holding a "free tibet" sign, so peter runs to a phone and calls china saying "i'll take it!"
04:46:18 <rust_collector> hey china!
04:46:35 <Nothing\> apparently china's trying to steal the dhali llama from tibet
04:46:48 <rust_collector> like that internet pic, with "free cat" next to the road
04:47:02 <Nothing\> when the current llama dies, china's government made it pretty clear that he's going to be reincarnated as a chinese person
04:47:13 <rust_collector> oh good
04:47:13 <Nothing\> so the llama said he's probably not even going to reincarnate this time
04:47:29 <rust_collector> HA HA! take that china.
04:47:32 <Nothing\> just cuz china's trying to steal it away from tibet for their own purposes
04:47:52 <T3sl4> maybe he'll reincarnate in HK and help them
04:48:20 <Nothing\> T3sl4: nah actually HK's bringing in new legislation that'll let the chinese government deport anyone it sees as "dangerous"
04:48:28 <Nothing\> if you've heard about the protests going on there, that's what it's all about
04:48:41 <T3sl4> thats what i mean help
04:48:46 <Nothing\> ah
04:48:56 <Nothing\> oh okay i see, i misread what you said
04:49:00 <T3sl4> although they don't seem to need a leader for that, they're quite capable doing it themselves
04:49:13 <Nothing\> i read it as you saying HK will help the llama
04:49:48 <Nothing\> i'd love to visit HK some time
04:49:59 <Nothing\> although apparently the iconic neon signs are all being replaced with LEDs, which i think is a shame
04:51:28 <rust_collector> I found a really cheap flicht, so some unknown airport in mid-western china, some time back. from the map and google, there was nothing there, just an airport
04:51:32 <rust_collector> flight
04:59:34 <Nothing\> guess that's why it was so cheap
05:00:13 <rust_collector> yeah, probably. and maybe that there was no flight out of there, as far as I could find
05:00:19 <Nothing\> it pisses me off how cheap flying is in europe, you can take regional flights in the UK for like 15 or 20gbp, you can't even take a greyhound to toronto (1 hour drive) for that much
05:00:35 <Nothing\> 20 years ago i paid $16 for a round trip ticket to hamilton, which is about half way to toronto
05:00:52 <Nothing\> but paying that much for a flight is just unthinkable
05:01:29 <Nothing\> they have this thing at an airport near here where for $100 they'll take you up in a cessna and even let you at the controls for half an hour
05:01:34 <rust_collector> In the UK, I think I would prefer the train or bus, bust to not be stuck in a damn airport for hours. It is a fairly small island, so you probably do not save that much time anyway
05:01:44 <Nothing\> fly you around the area for an hour or so
05:02:19 <Nothing\> i've heard that british trains aren't very great, i dunno if that's their reliability or punctuality or what metric they based that on
05:02:49 <rust_collector> I have no idea, but... sitting in airports is not much fun either
05:03:09 <Nothing\> i haven't flown since the 90's but i do recall one time our flight was delayed for like 15 hours, that was awful
05:03:30 <Nothing\> they had a revolution X arcade machine in the terminal, so i just spent the time pumping quarters into that
05:03:55 <Nothing\> hell that would be a great racket actually
05:04:46 <Nothing\> get an airport or something other transport terminal where all of the flights are always delayed, then have a bunch of concessions and arcade things and other amenities for a huge mark up, although that's pretty much what they do now anyways
05:05:08 <Nothing\> i guess airlines barely make any money on the actual flights, it's all of the concessions and amenities and extras they make money on
05:05:52 <rust_collector> heh, My cousin used to live in a... (what we call) a bigger city, and we used to go to some bingo room, which had a pinball machine, that made all kinds of noises, so we just started it, and ran before the old women killed us by looking at us very very hard
05:06:24 <Nothing\> lol they had a pinball machine at the laundromat i used to use about 10 years ago
05:06:43 <Nothing\> i never played it though cuz yeah, it was generally a pretty quiet place and that thing woulda drawn so much attention to me
05:07:26 <Nothing\> they had a 4 in one namco machine too, one of those table top style ones
05:08:09 <Nothing\> i miss arcades, i never got to go to them much as a kid for some reason, even though there were 2 in this city, but i still have fond memories of playing the simpsons arcade game
05:08:30 <rust_collector> I have never been in one
05:08:33 <rust_collector> or seen one
05:08:55 <Nothing\> actually, they do still have arcades now but they're absolute shit, basically casinos for children, even the inside looks the same as a casino, bright flashy lights, overwhelming the senses, no windows or clocks so you can't keep track of time, pumping cold air in to keep you alert
05:10:00 <Nothing\> i went in to the one here once and i wound up spending $20 in like 5 minutes and won enough tickets for a novelty pencil eraser, totally worth it
05:10:34 <Nothing\> i'd rather have a lobster harmonica
05:13:05 <Nothing\> man i just can't stop playing terraria, this is easily the most addictive game i've played since hyrule warriors
05:14:52 <Nothing\> it's like minecraft, but with an actual point, and one less dimension
05:17:12 <rust_collector> I have no idea.
05:17:59 <rust_collector> that one DHess posted about looked interesting.
05:18:26 <Nothing\> which one was that?
05:18:47 <rust_collector> I have to find it, lol
05:19:07 <Nothing\> there was another game like terraria, looked almost exactly the same called starbound, that was really fun
05:19:10 <rust_collector> space station 13
05:19:24 <Nothing\> it was a lot more open than terraria, where you could fly a space ship to other planets and each planet was like a whole world
05:20:05 <rust_collector> makes sense, I don't see the moon as in the world. to me, the world is just here on earth
05:20:07 <Nothing\> oooh this does look interesting
05:20:48 <Nothing\> world to me has a couple of meanings, either referring to the earth and everything on/in it, or the universe and everything that encompasses reality
05:21:22 <Nothing\> or less commonly, i see it referring to one's own subjective reality, i guess like a subjective version of the earth definition
05:21:56 <Nothing\> je suis la fin du monde
05:22:00 <rust_collector> I think that we have the word universe, for the times we are talking about the universe. But that is just my opinion
05:22:27 <rust_collector> whaa? already done?
05:22:35 <Nothing\> yeah, much as people like to have definitive definitions of words, a lot of language seems to be subjective as well
05:23:19 <rust_collector> hmm, what was that other space something game
05:23:25 <Nothing\> starbound?
05:23:38 <Nothing\> or one you're trying to think of?
05:23:46 <rust_collector> blahblah space program. you build a rocket, and...stuff
05:23:47 <Nothing\> FTL was a pretty fun space game
05:23:52 <Nothing\> oh kerbal space program
05:23:56 <Nothing\> yeah i loved that game
05:23:56 <rust_collector> right
05:24:02 <Nothing\> it taught me how orbital mechanics work
05:24:07 <rust_collector> I could almost consider trying that
05:24:13 <Nothing\> before that i always imagined rockets and space ships traveled in a straight line
05:24:23 <Nothing\> dude you should, it's probably the most educational and fun game i've ever played
05:24:49 <rust_collector> will it run on grandmas potato computer?
05:24:54 <Nothing\> probably not
05:25:06 <Nothing\> although you can tweak the graphics settings pretty good, so it might work
05:25:11 <rust_collector> good. I do not have access to that
05:25:17 <Nothing\> i mean i could get it to run on my mom's old laptop with a dual core
05:25:26 <Nothing\> and i think like 4gb of ram
05:26:03 <Nothing\> one game you might wanna look into in terms of educational but fun, is algodoo, which used to be called phun
05:27:23 <Nothing\> as far as 2d physics sandboxes go, it's the only one worth anything imo
05:27:43 <Nothing\> the rest of them are pretty cookie cutter, usually something like that crayon physics game if you remember that
05:28:48 <Nothing\> what i like most about algodoo, other than being free, is that it generates graphs and functions for damn near anything, you can make something like a gear and pulley system and graph the tension on the rope as a function of time, or as a function of pretty much any metric, it's so versatile
05:29:29 <Nothing\> it taught me a lot about mechanical engineering because i could make mechanisms so easily and analyze what's going on in them and such, it's another one of those games that teaches you without trying or making it obvious
05:30:47 <rust_collector> https://nullgame.com/action-games/slavistan
05:31:15 <Nothing\> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H5g9VS0ENM
05:31:22 <Nothing\> this gives a pretty good idea of what it's like
05:31:32 <Nothing\> slavistan heh
05:31:34 <rust_collector> this should teach you nothing, and that is a good thing
05:31:51 <Nothing\> well, i think Nothing\ is the one thing i need to know the most about
05:31:52 <Nothing\> :/
05:31:55 <Nothing\> er :p
05:32:28 <Nothing\> lol this actually looks funny
05:33:30 <Nothing\> reminds me vaguely of this one game i played a while back called papers please, you play as a border crossing official in a place like the berlin wall, checking passports of people who want to cross over, and you have to spot any sort of inconsistencies or signs of fraudulence in their passport and decide whether they can cross or not
05:33:49 <rust_collector> I think it is time for a cup of vodka, then pass out on the couch, or close to it
05:33:50 <Nothing\> it was a really neat concept for a game, although the gameplay basically came down to a spot the differences game
05:34:06 <Nothing\> i never liked vodka when i drank, it tastes like rubbing alcohol to me
05:34:16 <rust_collector> you need good vodka
05:34:36 <Nothing\> i remember one xmas i was doing shots of crown royal with my brother, and when we ran out of that, we cracked open the vodka, i took one shot of it and damn near puked right there
05:34:36 <rust_collector> They really are quite different
05:34:42 <Nothing\> i think that was the last time i ever drank vodka straight
05:34:56 <Nothing\> i will admit though, vodka makes a great mixed drink, especially with citrus
05:34:57 <rust_collector> well, I have no idea why you would do that, but...
05:35:07 <Nothing\> lol cuz we were trying to get drunk
05:35:26 <rust_collector> maybe a small shot, but not drink-drinking it
05:35:57 <Nothing\> i don't drink anymore though, for some reason i can't tolerate it anymore, it makes my heart pound out of my chest and i just feel unwell, like i've been poisoned, even after just half a drink, so i don't bother anymore
05:36:31 <rust_collector> I have a new favourite vodka. made by koskenkorva. it tastes almost nothing at all. Stuff like absolut tastes more like window cleaner
05:36:33 <Nothing\> that and it was getting to the point where the hangovers weren't worth it anymore
05:36:41 <rust_collector> well, that is a thing
05:36:42 <Nothing\> ah yeah, i always drank smirnoff, of course
05:36:51 <Nothing\> or i think i had grey goose once or twice
05:37:14 <Nothing\> and towards when i stopped drinking, i got this stuff that was 45%, though i can't recall the name of it
05:37:24 <rust_collector> well, if you can not drink, that is very economic
05:37:29 <Nothing\> i thought that was weird cuz here in ontario i've never seen anything higher than 40%
05:37:36 <Nothing\> oh yeah man, especially in ontario
05:37:41 <rust_collector> HAH!
05:37:58 <Nothing\> lemme see what the prices are like these days
05:38:00 <rust_collector> I bet it is pretty much exactly the same as here
05:38:34 <rust_collector> uhm, let me c
05:38:51 <Nothing\> $27.50 for a 750ml bottle of smirnoff
05:39:05 <rust_collector> 62.67 cdn for
05:39:07 <rust_collector> uuh
05:39:13 <rust_collector> 1l
05:39:38 <Nothing\> weird, i checked the liquor store's site for molson canadian and nothing came up, i wonder if that even exists anymore
05:39:47 <Nothing\> jeeez are you kidding me?
05:39:50 <Nothing\> that much for a liter?
05:39:57 <Nothing\> is this still smirnoff? or some fancy brand?
05:39:58 <rust_collector> mmhmm
05:40:10 <rust_collector> no, that is the finnish one, let me see
05:40:29 <Nothing\> ah so it probably costs more cuz it's imported or something
05:40:39 <rust_collector> it is all imported
05:40:53 <Nothing\> ah
05:41:40 <Nothing\> yeah, $13.50 for a 6 pack of PBR
05:41:49 <rust_collector> smirnoff #21 is probably a bit more, per liter
05:41:56 <Nothing\> they actually have a law here that states beer can't be less than $1.15 per
05:42:07 <Nothing\> the whole reasoning is that if alcohol is expensive, people won't abuse it, lol yeah right
05:42:15 <rust_collector> heh, yeah
05:42:19 <rust_collector> no, it is not
05:42:30 <Nothing\> if that were true, nobody would be a drug addict cuz no drug that addictive is cheap
05:42:35 <rust_collector> the reasoning is that they collect more tax, and you all know that
05:42:42 <Nothing\> yup exactly
05:42:58 <Nothing\> i dunno why they haven't done more to tax weed here yet, or even let stores start selling it legally
05:43:09 <Nothing\> it's legal federally, but stores can't sell it
05:44:06 <rust_collector> it is like prostitution here, you can sell it, but not buy it
05:44:09 <Nothing\> doesn't stop em though, i go to a black market dispensary and somehow they've been running since at least a couple of years before it was even legalized, even after they were raided by the feds after legalization they're still in business
05:44:59 <Nothing\> yeah i found out a while back that sedative drugs like valium, ativan and xanax are apparently perfectly legal to possess here, but it's illegal to dispense them without a prescription, so you can possess them legally, but nobody can give them to you
05:45:47 <Nothing\> it's insane how much money this dispensary must make too, just standing in line for a few minutes, i watch them take in at least $1000 in sales
05:45:59 <rust_collector> I should probably try some weed some time. I never did any drug-drugs, except I was on speed for a year or so
05:46:09 <Nothing\> it's not great if you get anxious
05:46:21 <Nothing\> i'm actually quitting it atm cuz it's been exacerbating my anxiety way too much
05:46:36 <rust_collector> That is not a problem, I think I would probably just stop if I was more relaxed
05:46:40 <Nothing\> i figure if i smoke it to relax, it kinda defeats the purpose if i have anxiety attacks any time i smoke, so it's probably time for a break
05:46:58 <rust_collector> hah, yeah, probably
05:47:12 <Nothing\> it seems to more enhance whatever mood you're already in, so if you're worried about something you'll worry more, or if you're among friends and having a good time, you'll get giddy and goofy
05:48:37 <Nothing\> i actually got a prescription for medicinal marijuana but i got fed up trying to use the bullshit website you have to order it from, then the cost is more because they have ridiculously stringent requirements for packaging since they can only ship it through the mail, no brick and mortar stores
05:49:10 <rust_collector> oh well. hmm, mom is going to canaderp on tuesday...
05:49:19 <Nothing\> ah nice, where abouts?
05:49:24 <rust_collector> halifax
05:49:31 <rust_collector> nova scotia
05:49:36 <Nothing\> right on, i wonder if there's anything leftover there from the explosion
05:49:43 <Nothing\> my mom just read a book about that explosion not long ago
05:49:51 <Nothing\> biggest non-nuclear explosion in history
05:50:00 <Nothing\> right in the middle of the harbor
05:50:08 <rust_collector> heh, never heard about that
05:50:20 <Nothing\> must be a canadian thing to know about it
05:50:34 <Nothing\> it's really interesting though, i'd suggest looking into it when you have time to
05:50:54 <rust_collector> mom used to work with a couple who were from that place. they did live here when I was... around 10
05:51:28 <Nothing\> there was a munitions ship in the harbor during one of the world wars, i forget which, and another ship collided with it and it set off the explosives on board
05:51:39 <rust_collector> then they moved to somewhere in.. was it maine, or connecticut. in the house they shot "mystic pizza"
05:51:56 <Nothing\> never heard of it, but still neat
05:52:06 <Nothing\> mystic pizza just sounds like a B movie
05:52:08 <rust_collector> then they moved back to halifax, and built a new home somewhere
05:52:14 <rust_collector> yeah, it does
05:52:26 <Nothing\> i picture an animatronic talking pizza, like pizza the hut on spaceballs if you've seen that
05:53:05 <rust_collector> I never watched it
05:53:16 <Nothing\> oh man, it's a classic, you should
05:53:41 <Nothing\> john candy, bill pullman, rick moranis, mel brooks, you just can't go wrong
05:54:21 <rust_collector> Hmm, what was that other one... murders on smuttynose island, I think it was. turns out that some of the people in that story is related to the wife
05:54:39 <rust_collector> wife got the book, movies, and stuff
05:54:50 <rust_collector> eeh, I never watched that either
05:54:51 <Nothing\> that's neat, small world, isn't it?
05:55:14 <rust_collector> yeah, but it is a long walk around it
05:55:36 <Nothing\> yeah i don't watch tv or movies anymore, about all i ever watch is educational stuff on youtube, and occassionally something i have to think about less like top tenz or angry video game nerd or game sack
05:56:20 <Nothing\> it sucks cuz i realized 90% of the stuff i watch is usually just somebody talking and explaining something, so i inevitably end up falling asleep on account of not much stimulation
05:56:45 <rust_collector> I can watch dull and boring stuff for hours
05:56:50 <rust_collector> I like boring
05:56:51 <Nothing\> i get the same thing on the phone for some reason, any time i do anything on a cell phone i end up nodding off
05:57:08 <Nothing\> yet if i go lie down to try and take a nap, i feel wide awake, another example of my body messing with me
05:57:10 <rust_collector> no point in calling you then
05:57:20 <Nothing\> lol
05:57:23 <rust_collector> zzzzz
06:00:10 <rust_collector> the ssd from my old netbook lives in canada, somewhere
06:00:23 <rust_collector> where was that again...
06:00:36 <Nothing\> southern ontario probably
06:00:46 <rust_collector> could be.
06:01:46 <rust_collector> One of the guys working an antix linux had a netbook, and I had an ssd from that, so I shipped it over. I think he still uses it
06:02:10 <Nothing\> right on, i've never used an ssd myself, they were still too pricy last time i had a computer
06:02:14 <rust_collector> I should get a battery, and start using mine as well
06:21:52 <rust_collector> oh, electroboom on the youtube mentioned steve30
06:21:58 <rust_collector> YAAAY!
06:22:11 <rust_collector> mr famous guy
06:23:56 <*buffextras> ChanOP set mode: +o ThunderSqueak
06:24:34 <Nothing\> haha that's awesome
06:24:43 <Nothing\> i haven't seen that one yet, is it a new one?
06:24:52 <rust_collector> yep, out today
06:25:01 <Nothing\> i'll have to take a look
06:25:07 <rust_collector> for us non patreons
06:27:11 <T3sl4> he mentioned /a/ steve :P
06:27:21 <rust_collector> almost all of them
06:27:57 <rust_collector> or, any generic steve, I guess
06:44:35 <steve30> haven't watched electroboom for a while. I'll watch the latest video tomorrow.
06:45:06 <steve30> I have been mentioned in youtube videos before, so I have had my couple of minutes of fame.
06:46:56 <rust_collector> ok, then just skip this one
06:56:55 <rust_collector> I sort of hope no one has mentioned me on youtube
06:58:13 Quit: kuon ([email protected]) Connection closed
06:58:14 Quit: kuon_ ([email protected]) Connection closed
07:23:37 <Nothing\> T3sl4: lol yeah i was really confused about that, i was like wait what? steve30 is steve mould? that can't be
07:23:48 <T3sl4> :P
07:24:05 <rust_collector> close enough to a steve
07:24:08 <Nothing\> rust_collector: if/when i ever post a new video i'll be sure to mention you
07:24:16 <rust_collector> yaay!
07:24:27 <Nothing\> i've been wanting to post a video about this really odd quirk i found with my 3ds
07:24:40 <rust_collector> what sort of stuff have you posted about?
07:25:05 <Nothing\> when i have the clamshell shut and its in sleep mode, if i place it on top of a ds lite, it'll take the 3ds out of sleep mode while it's still shut, regardless of whether the ds lite is on or off
07:25:23 <rust_collector> hmm
07:25:26 <Nothing\> and then if you have the clamshell opened and put the 3ds on the ds lite, it'll put it into sleep mode while it's still opened
07:25:40 <Nothing\> best i can figure the magnets in the speakers are making it go into sleep mode
07:25:57 <rust_collector> try to stick the thing on your fridge?
07:26:06 <Nothing\> but my channel's just random stuff, a buncha circuits i made, a few videos of weather nothing special
07:26:16 <Nothing\> a clip from dune, which seems rather popular
07:26:19 <rust_collector> perfect, link?
07:26:43 <rust_collector> I have made no videos. I have a face made for radio
07:26:47 <Nothing\> lemme try to find it
07:27:47 <Nothing\> https://www.youtube.com/user/halonothing1/videos?view_as=subscriber
07:27:52 <Nothing\> i think that should take you to it
07:28:49 <Nothing\> oh yeah i forgot i made a recut of an episode of survivor man, people seemed to really enjoy that one
07:28:51 <Nothing\> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OS1ZT702t8
07:28:54 <rust_collector> https://imgur.com/a/eXn2k53
07:29:35 <Nothing\> so festive
07:29:39 <rust_collector> ok, I will have a look thru that....stuff
07:29:48 <Nothing\> yeah, no rush
07:30:00 <rust_collector> yeah, it was on my moms 60th birthday
07:30:15 <rust_collector> all the old aunts thought it was hillarious
07:30:33 <rust_collector> oh well,
07:31:42 <rust_collector> I should record me, because I have no idea of what I sound like
07:31:56 <rust_collector> well, I have an idea, but I bet it is wrong
07:33:56 <rust_collector> I was on the radio, doing some kind of quiz show, in 5th grade. that is a long time ago
07:34:16 <rust_collector> I only remember eating pizza
07:42:31 <rust_collector> Ok, Nothing\ you got my first ever comment on youtube
07:42:40 <rust_collector> sorry
07:50:46 <rust_collector> I am not sure why, But I want a pair of those cheap 830 multimeters
07:52:07 <rust_collector> ok, not a pair... I want one in each color
07:52:18 <rust_collector> I think they remind me of lego or something
08:08:49 <Nothing\> lol nice
08:09:07 <Nothing\> yeah it's weird seeing/hearing yourself on tv for the first time
08:09:31 <Nothing\> i didn't realize until i was like 25 that i sound exactly like my brother
08:10:25 <rust_collector> aaah, oerfect
08:10:30 <rust_collector> with a p
08:10:38 <Nothing\> man that was a good meal though, i just fried up a couple of slices of tofu, my first thought was how bland it was, but i actually like bland food so it went down really well
08:11:06 <rust_collector> they say tofu is a great sponge for tastes
08:11:29 <Nothing\> that's what i've heard, but i'm not creative or motivated enough to bother experimenting with that
08:11:33 <rust_collector> and, if you like bland, come on over, you will have the best time
08:12:09 <rust_collector> we have fish, with fish taste, pig, that tastes like watered out pig...
08:12:33 <rust_collector> uuh, we do have pretty ok frozen pizza
08:12:49 <rust_collector> the national dish
08:13:37 <Nothing\> frozen pizza just doesn't even compare to fresh made, especially those mini pizzas, they don't even feel like i'm eating real pizza
08:14:04 <Nothing\> i don't like frozen pizza, but i'll gladly enjoy one from a pizzeria
08:14:27 <rust_collector> but frozen pizza is frozen pizza. fresh can be really good, or totally crap
08:14:49 <Nothing\> heh it's good to see a comment on a video on my channel that isn't that clip from dune, that's about the only thing anybody watches and i'm always getting notifications for comments on it
08:14:59 <Nothing\> yeah that's true, it's pretty hit or miss
08:15:00 <rust_collector> I have had pizza that even I could not eat
08:15:03 Quit: AndrevS ([email protected]) Connection closed
08:15:43 <Nothing\> i had this weird pizza once in mexico where the cheese was goat cheese, i forget what else was on it but the cheese had that really strong barn sorta taste you get with goat milk, though it was actually pretty good
08:16:08 <Nothing\> i read somewhere you get that taste in goat milk if you keep males with the females, which if it's just a matter of that, why the hell does all goat milk taste like a barn
08:16:31 <rust_collector> was it "white or brown
08:16:38 <Nothing\> white
08:17:35 <rust_collector> we have several kinds of "goat cheese" here, some are regular cheese, just from goat milk, some are brown, not actually cheese, and is about as healthy as chocolate
08:19:46 <rust_collector> I dislike how some things are very popular on youtube. it is not like every band has to make a cover of the song "subtitolado"
08:20:00 <rust_collector> and they don't even sound the same
08:23:57 Join: coppice ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
08:24:06 <rust_collector> TA DAA!!!
08:24:14 <Nothing\> that's why i don't listen to new music, it's just crap
08:24:27 <Nothing\> media in general is just derivative crap these days
08:25:02 <rust_collector> I am looking for an album, and I know what it looks like, but I can not remember the band name
08:25:51 <rust_collector> ok, so what kind of stuff do you listen to?
08:27:09 <rust_collector> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyORieDhpkg
08:27:25 <rust_collector> I really like that pic
08:27:38 <Nothing\> i don't listen to anything, if i do it just gets stuck in my head and plays obsessively for days or weeks on end, so i just avoid music now

08:27:57 <Nothing\> but when the mood strikes me i'll listen to classic rock, pink floyd, beatles, stuff like that
08:28:03 <rust_collector> there are worse things that can get stuck in your head
08:28:32 <Nothing\> there are, but it's still unpleasant having the same 5-10 second jingle play over and over again for days or weeks at a time, it's like torture almost
08:28:59 <Nothing\> especially when it accompanies inappropriate emotions like anxiety, it makes for a sureally unpleasant experience
08:29:47 <rust_collector> eeh, as I am leaning to the darker kinds of metal, you can fit several songs into those 5 to 10 seconds
08:30:03 <rust_collector> cheaper than ipod
08:31:56 <rust_collector> wife hates 98% of what I like. so I hate most of her music back. good times
08:36:00 <Nothing\> men and women in general seem to have different tastes in music for some reason
08:36:25 <rust_collector> maybe so, but then I probably have my own gender
08:38:04 <rust_collector> I have actually found 3-4 females that like the music I play
08:38:16 <rust_collector> total weirdos
08:39:09 <Nothing\> ah beautiful, there's a storm coming so it cooled right down and there's tons of wind
08:39:24 <rust_collector> weather is pretty awesome
08:39:38 <Nothing\> tell me about it, it was like 38 before this storm came
08:40:05 <rust_collector> it has been a quite cool day here, I just like LOTS of weather
08:40:32 <rust_collector> thunder, lots of rain, not so much the sun,
08:40:52 <rust_collector> very strong wind is always interesting
08:42:21 <rust_collector> like when you have to get out and pull down trees, just to be sure.
08:42:28 <rust_collector> good times
08:43:33 <rust_collector> Ok, I found the album I was looking for. I should write that down, ,lol
08:43:58 <Nothing\> i always thought they should have a search engine where you enter a melody and it finds you the song that fits it
08:44:01 <Nothing\> or songs
08:44:26 <rust_collector> yeah, but you have to give the thing some hints
08:45:24 <rust_collector> album with a bad picture of water and mountain noisy does not give much on youtube.... or does it?
08:52:45 <rust_collector> aaah, ok, that was good
08:53:11 <rust_collector> my ears are ringing, and I really think I should figure out how to use actual speakers
09:00:05 <rust_collector> I use old nokia "handsfree" earbuds, with the button bypassed. they are not horrible, says the guy listening to crap quality stuff

09:22:36 <rust_collector> I wonder why bodybilders don't just buy cat food
09:26:17 <Halcyon> Ew
09:26:26 <rust_collector> what?
09:26:46 <rust_collector> it is probably higher quality than anything we get to eat, lol
09:27:01 <Halcyon> What the hell are you eating?
09:27:22 <rust_collector> anyway, it is very very high in protein, enough that dogs should not eat it
09:27:43 <rust_collector> Me? I do not think I said I was a bodybuilder
09:28:43 <rust_collector> I went to the store to buy a pound of butter today. Wife and kids and dogs are away for a few days, so I am certainly going to eat all of that.
09:28:51 <rust_collector> I am sick of marg
09:31:46 <rust_collector> Ok, I used to buy dog biscuits, as a snack. they were pretty good, and much cheaper than most other snacks
09:38:00 <Halcyon> Margarine is garbage
09:38:07 <rust_collector> yeah
09:38:12 <Halcyon> I never buy it, real butter is the only thing I get
09:39:15 <rust_collector> wife has a thing against butter. I think it is better to use a bit of butter, that does taste something, than to drown stuff in tasteless margarine
09:41:46 <rust_collector> Halcyon: do you listen to music on the computer?
09:43:16 <rust_collector> or do you go listen on a real stereo sort of thing... or not
09:44:25 <T3sl4> how are you supposed to be collecting rust if you're slathering yourself in grease and butter all the time
09:44:48 <rust_collector> It does seem to pile up fast enough
10:15:05 <rust_collector> ok, going to fry 2 slices of butter, wrapped in cheese and bread
11:53:25 <Halcyon> rust_collector,: Yeh sometimes
11:53:34 <Halcyon> I have Sonos speakers around the house I mostly use
11:55:52 <rust_collector> hmm, ok.
11:56:49 <rust_collector> I just tend to sit here in the confuser, with my old nokia earbuds. We do have real speakers, but I am not sure if they are even hooked up to anythin gat the moment
12:02:19 <rust_collector> it is 4 in the morning here. good night

18:18:08 <Ampera> admit it steve30, you're just scared about talking to an American
18:18:20 * steve30 whacks Halcyon with an IRC server
18:18:45 <Halcyon> :(

18:19:20 <Halcyon> Mmm eggs
18:19:24 <damian> NO DAMNIT
18:19:32 <Halcyon> What about you damian? Discord with Ampera and I ?
18:19:56 <damian> huh what
18:20:00 <Halcyon> Voice chat
18:20:15 <damian> naw, i'm having a quiet night tonight, i need a drinky poo for voice :P
18:20:22 <Halcyon> Then have one
18:20:26 <Halcyon> It's Saturday
18:20:33 <damian> it's dry july!
18:20:40 <Halcyon> We are just talking nerd stuff, in fact IRC, you might be useful
18:20:51 <Halcyon> Pah, stop being a sook
18:20:52 <steve30> i'm going to lie down in bed for a while
18:20:53 <damian> i don't know what an irc is
18:20:59 <Ampera> O
18:21:12 <Halcyon> Night Steve
18:21:13 <Ampera> We're talking about the Discord/IRC bot I'm working on for AustNet
18:21:19 <Ampera> which I am indeed still working on, slowly
18:21:26 <damian> yeah, i don't know why you're doing that
18:21:39 <damian> i built that exact same thing two years ago, it's just sitting on one of my servers ready to go
18:22:02 <damian> it's weird, because grem was on there testing it and everything!
18:22:12 <damian> what's the server/
18:22:34 <Ampera> The idea is that this can be something that AustNet hosts and can allow all of its users to use
18:22:45 <damian> yeah
18:22:45 <Ampera> regardless, it's a project, and something easy I know I can do, so experience, entertainment
18:22:54 <Ampera> even if it goes unused, I get something out of it, and at the very least can use it for this channel
18:22:56 <damian> https://discord.gg/eAXSmP
18:23:00 <damian> i built it ages ago :P
18:23:08 <Ampera> I know it's been done before, it's too simple of a concept to have not been done a thousand times before
18:23:10 <Ampera> but eh, fun
18:23:17 <damian> i even had it in here
18:23:22 <damian> oh yeah, don't get me wrong, it's a good experience
18:23:34 <damian> especially if you can make the irc end come in as a server instead of just a bot
18:23:51 <damian> ^^ that one hasn't been done so much
18:24:18 <damian> where are y'all voicehatting
18:31:57 <Halcyon> Discord damian
18:32:03 <Halcyon> Ampera's server
18:32:13 <Ampera> huh?
18:32:15 <damian> yea, wher eis it
18:32:20 <damian> i need the url bro
18:32:22 <Ampera> no, we're in a DM
18:32:27 <Halcyon> Oh that :P
18:32:29 <damian> hahah
18:32:31 <Ampera> but you can hop on my server anyways
18:32:32 <Ampera> standby
18:32:49 <Ampera> https://discordapp.com/invite/69UfUzX
18:32:58 <Ampera> caution: cancer
18:33:15 <Ampera> the server contains people known to the state of cancer to cause california
18:33:32 <damian> it's ok, i'm immune to online cancer
18:35:00 <Ampera> damian, accept fr, I'll throw you in the call
