02:56:00 <rust_collector> you can always try to cover it up with some other kind of pain...
02:56:32 <steve30> could do, but i'd rather now
02:56:48 <rust_collector> ok, then I guess it is not so bad
02:57:04 <steve30> *not

16:38:38 <Halcyon> Finished Chernobyl
16:38:41 <Halcyon> Was a good series
16:40:08 <steve30> technically accurate?
16:42:44 <Halcyon> Yeh I didn't pick any real faults with it
16:42:56 <Halcyon> Quite dramatised but it tells the story pretty accurately
16:43:17 <Halcyon> It takes the time to explain the failures as well in a very detailed way
16:47:05 <Ampera> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8pVZ5hTGJQ
16:47:33 <T3sl4> far as i know, it's close enough for your purposes, being that, correct me if i'm wrong, you aren't exactly a nuclear engineer :P
16:47:41 <Halcyon> Good song
16:47:51 <Halcyon> T3sl4: Correct :)
16:48:00 <Ampera> Yeah thunderf00t tore it apart, but he has a tendency to read a bit further into things that are actually there.
16:48:00 <T3sl4> there have been several comprehensive writeups about differences between the series, and irl
16:48:11 <T3sl4> should be easy to find if you're interested in learning more
16:48:18 <Halcyon> T3sl4, true, this series was a fairly high level view
16:48:56 <Ampera> There's stuff like how the firefighter who melted in the hopsital wouldn't have been highly radioactive, and wouldn't have lead to the stillborn of his wife, but they might have not known that, and the higher background radiation levels could have totally caused that
16:49:11 <Ampera> so in that respect it's accurate, but also portraying genuinely possible in accuracies of the time
16:49:30 <Ampera> In general, I didn't care. It was a good drama, and I enjoyed the storyline.
16:49:33 <Halcyon> I just hope that with the release of the series, idiot, uneducated Australian's don't get turned off nuclear power. We're only just now starting to talk about it in mainstream media how it should be explored (currently in AU, it's illegal to operate a nuclear power plant).
16:51:11 <Halcyon> We have 1 nuclear reactor in the country and it's used to create isotopes for nuclear medicine
16:52:42 <T3sl4> yup
16:52:49 <Ampera> I'm interested into the genuine application and validity of a thorium reactor, but in general I think that all reactors, and high pressure steam based plants should be shut down all over the world.
16:53:01 <Ampera> We should recede into an era before power, and restore the natural order of the species.
16:53:08 <Halcyon> We (as in the Police) get involved from time to time to transport equipment and material to/from the site, which is in Sydney
16:53:08 * T3sl4 exfoliates Ampera with high pressure steam
16:54:11 * Ampera injects T3sl4 with pure liquid rubidium

21:11:32 <Halcyon> Some will do NTFS but it's less common
21:11:32 <Halcyon> Sure, but if you record to a Linux file system, then Windows won't read it (which is what most of the professional video production world use)
21:11:33 <steve30000> well, that's some exercises done. I'm a bit too tired to do any more.
21:11:33 <Halcyon> Generally you get the choice of exFAT or HFS+
21:11:33 <Ampera> I never said Linux file system
21:11:33 <Ampera> I want NTFS
21:11:33 <Ampera> everything can read NTFS
21:11:33 <Halcyon> *shrug*
21:11:33 <Halcyon> No idea why they didn't go to NTFS
21:11:34 <Halcyon> I guess because it's dated and they are designed to be removable media?
21:11:37 <Halcyon> Even Windows doesn't format removable disks as NTFS by default anymore
21:11:37 <Ampera> If I am using it, I format it ext4, if someone else is using it, I format it NTFS
21:11:38 <Ampera> if I need a LCD, FAT32
21:11:38 <Halcyon> Oh, me too
21:11:38 <Halcyon> You won't get any arguments from me
21:11:38 <Halcyon> But it's just not the way it's done in the industry and I don't exactly know why
21:11:38 <Ampera> I don't care if people want to use industry standards, just give me the ability to choose when I use expensive gear
21:11:39 <coppice_> Ampera: exFAT is a lot older than 2006
21:11:39 <Ampera> coppice_, that's the date I see on Wikipedia for introduction
21:11:39 <Ampera> apparently the patents were filed in 2009: https://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?CC=US&NR=2009164440&KC=&FT=E&locale=en_EP and https://worldwide.espacenet.com/publicationDetails/biblio?CC=US&NR=2009164539&KC=&FT=E&locale=en_EP
21:11:39 <coppice_> so it does. interesting
21:11:39 <Ampera> so if Microsoft could use those patents to protect exFAT for themselves, we don't get it free until 2029
21:11:39 <coppice_> No 2026. That 2009 filing is not the original. You can't file a patent on something 3 years after releasing a product that uses the techinque
21:11:40 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
21:11:41 <Ampera> as far as I know the law is for patent filing, not for release of a product, you just wouldn't be able to enforce anything done before the patent was filed
21:11:42 <Ampera> *done against you
21:11:42 <coppice_> you clearly KNOW NOTHING!
21:11:42 <Ampera> no shit, I'm not filing patents

21:53:07 <rust_collector> I got tired of doing exercises several years ago.

22:03:21 <Nothing\> holy crap breath of wild is a great game
22:04:31 <Nothing\> i was really skeptical at first cuz skyward sword was highly praised, even got a perfect score from IGN, but i found the motion controls were terrible and half of the game is just replaying the same areas over again with a twist, but no breath of wild is genuinely amazing
22:05:01 <T3sl4> BotW is bigger than skyrim, yeah
22:05:02 <Nothing\> it's good to play new games that are actually good for a change
22:05:13 <Nothing\> oh i know man, i was blown away when i realized how big the map was
22:05:32 <T3sl4> SS suffered from motion controls that not everyone really understood, so you have a divided review that some love it and some hate it
22:05:40 <T3sl4> and, that the gameplay was extremely linear
22:05:54 <Nothing\> you start off playing in this fairly large area and it's all that's shown on the map, so you think that's the whole map cuz no other LoZ game had a huge map like that so you just don't expect it
22:06:09 <Ampera> Nothing\, holy fuck how are you doing
22:06:10 <Nothing\> then you zoom out and realize that whole large area is just a tiny speck on this absolutely huge map
22:06:16 <T3sl4> indeed until this year, the SS speedrun was about 5 hours, it's only gone down (to about 2 hours now!) thanks to a glitch that allows setting of gamestate flags
22:06:21 <Nothing\> Ampera: i'm doing well, guess what i bought lol
22:06:31 <Ampera> a digeridildo
22:06:36 <Nothing\> i was trying to tell you the other day but you weren't here
22:06:49 <T3sl4> Ampera, does one use that in their outbackside?
22:06:59 <Ampera> T3sl4, in the regions down under
22:07:00 <Nothing\> T3sl4: that's pretty impressive for how big a game it is
22:07:07 <Ampera> what did you buy Nothing\
22:07:46 <Nothing\> heh i'd love to get a digieridoo, a friend of mine once taught me how to use a length of pvc pipe as one, but i could never do the circular breathing thing where you breathe out through your mouth as you breathe in through your nose
22:07:48 <T3sl4> i've still not attentively watched all of the BotW 100% speedrun, or even all shrines
22:07:59 <T3sl4> which are 23 and 7 hours respectively, so you can understand why
22:08:08 <Nothing\> Ampera: https://imgur.com/a/G9Cg2xG
22:08:16 <Nothing\> not sure why it turned out sideways, but you get the idea
22:08:24 <Ampera> oh
22:08:25 <Ampera> great
22:08:30 <Nothing\> lol i knew you'd be thrilled
22:08:32 <Ampera> (lol I was thinking you were gonna say that)
22:08:49 <Nothing\> T3sl4: have you got a switch yourself? i'm always wary of watching videos about games i know i'd like but could never play
22:08:51 <Ampera> I worked yesterday
22:08:54 <Ampera> first day in my life
22:09:05 <Nothing\> Ampera: nice, i think i know this already but what are you doing again?
22:09:05 <T3sl4> nah, only watched it
22:09:12 <Ampera> video editing
22:09:31 <Ampera> I'm actually working right now, in between my goofing off
22:09:42 <Nothing\> T3sl4: that's a shame, they are rather expensive devices though, for my switch, mario odyssey, breath of wild and a $20 card to get stardew valley it came out to $650 :/
22:10:11 <T3sl4> honestly my excuse is i'd spend too much time on it
22:10:15 <Nothing\> i had to save for like 6 months to afford it, luckily i got my sales tax credit as a lump sum this year so that allowed me to get it without having to make significant sacrifices for a month
22:10:49 <Nothing\> yeah i was half debating whether to get it because as it is i feel like i almost have too many games and not enough time to play them, which says a lot considering almost all of my time is free time
22:11:08 <Nothing\> Ampera: that sounds like a pretty sweet gig you got, good on you
22:11:22 <Ampera> It's just a couple of small contracts right now
22:11:26 <Ampera> not entirely sure how much I'm being paid
22:11:42 <Ampera> anywhere from 120 to 720 USD
22:11:52 <Nothing\> i figured i should get a switch though cuz i've never saved up to actually buy something before and i figured it'd be a good exercise in discipline and delayed gratification, either that or i'm just really good at rationalizing lol
22:11:55 <Ampera> and then whatever I make now again in August
22:11:56 <T3sl4> odyssey is a darn good game too, dozens of movement options, the speedrun tricks are insane
22:12:06 <Nothing\> i've gotta say though it is nice to actually have a current gen console for the first time since the n64
22:12:25 <T3sl4> not that that's a required way to play it, just take it as an example of how far you can take it :P
22:13:05 <Nothing\> T3sl4: i've found odyssey is fun, but not AS fun as i expected, i still really enjoy it though, i even got my mom enjoying watching me play which is funny cuz she's totally not a gamer
22:13:14 <T3sl4> heh
22:13:32 <Nothing\> i played odyssey a fair bit before breath of wild cuz it took me a bit to get into breath of wild
22:13:47 <Nothing\> it took me a while to get over the whole weapon durability mechanic, it just feels so wasteful
22:14:01 <Nothing\> like what's the point of getting a weapon if it's just gonna break after 5-10 swings
22:14:04 <T3sl4> yeah, that's basically the biggest complaint
22:14:06 <Nothing\> and there's no way to repair them
22:14:32 <T3sl4> but it serves its purpose, there's so much to choose from and they don't want you getting invested in items that they'd rather you keep cycling through, trying new
22:14:42 <T3sl4> and it gives some pressure to keep moving and finding more
22:14:52 <Nothing\> it was really confusing at first cuz your first instinct is to attack enemies, so you find a stick, attack them, your stick breaks and you're stuck with nothing, so i wound up just running from everything i came across until i actually read up on the game some
22:14:57 <T3sl4> not that you're ever short of drops
22:15:34 <Nothing\> yeah it's really not that bad, i've always got a surplus of weapons on hand, if anything my qualm now is i don't have enough space to hold a decent number of weapons, but i'm guessing that'll change
22:15:52 <Nothing\> and it gives a nice incentive to not just charge all gung ho into every battle
22:15:59 <T3sl4> you get upgrades from korok seeds
22:16:05 <Nothing\> a lot of times i'll just try to snipe them off with a bow and arrow
22:16:14 <Nothing\> oh is that what those are for, i've only found 2 of them so far
22:16:36 <Nothing\> i only just left the plateau and did the first shrine outside of it, so i've got i think 5 shrines done now
22:17:02 <Nothing\> i've been doing a lot of exploration too, not just going directly to the shrines
22:19:10 <Nothing\> i think my biggest qualm with the game is it seems like a lot of things can't be figured out very easily without consulting a guide, at least not at first, i mean i never would have figured out how to find that first sword in the middle of the lake, or that you can climb a tree, collect apples, find a torch, find a fire, light the torch with the fire, find a pot, light a fire under the pot, then hold the apples in your ha
22:19:10 <Nothing\> pot to cook them
22:19:26 <Nothing\> it's even more obscure than the tornado in castlevania 2 lol
22:20:20 <Nothing\> i read somewhere that this is supposed to be like a remastered version of the original legend of zelda but i've yet to find any similarities
22:20:58 <Nothing\> i also glimpsed some murmuring about a breath of wild 2 on the q&a section on gamefaqs
22:21:08 <DHess_US> I love exercise. I could watch it all day.
22:21:20 <Nothing\> last thing i need is another game to buy, as it is my wish list is like $800 worth of games
22:22:25 <Nothing\> weird, i just found out i've been pronouncing rhadbomyolysis wrong for the last 15 years
22:23:56 <Nothing\> hrm the menus at the top of xchat disappeared again, i forget what i did to get them back last time this happened
22:24:06 <Nothing\> alt won't do it
22:35:16 <T3sl4> the lack of hints seems in common with zelda 1 :P
22:47:11 <Nothing\> haha that's true
22:47:31 <Nothing\> yeha like i discovered the korok seed guys completely by accident
22:53:38 <Nothing\> look at this super clean job of putting thermal paste on this cpu
22:53:39 <Nothing\> https://imgur.com/a/V9KwpGt
22:53:50 <Nothing\> have you ever seen such workmanship? lol
22:54:05 <Nothing\> btw that's probably the first or second cpu i ever put thermal paste on
22:54:19 <Nothing\> i think it was an AMD thunderbird
22:55:22 <Nothing\> actually it looks like part of the die is broken off at the bottom right
22:55:36 <Nothing\> right along the edge it looks like there's a bit missing
23:00:46 <Nothing\> WHATL!
23:00:55 <Nothing\> they remade link's awakening for the switch
23:00:58 <Nothing\> or will be

23:07:20 <Nothing\> ah i haven't watched ave in ages, it's amusing to see him trying to run an angle grinder off of a push/pull inverter you could practically hear the thing screaming in pain
23:08:07 <Nothing\> i'm just not a huge fan of metal working though and i find his videos on electronics are lacking
23:16:07 <rust_collector> he is just a little bit more into electronics than I am, as far as I can tell. Which means not very much.
23:16:41 <K> ave has his moments, but sometimes i feel he overdoes "the fun"
23:16:46 <rust_collector> I do like the metalworking stuff, but imo, his cnc machine is not a tiny bit interesting. I like manual machines
23:17:39 <rust_collector> I don't want to go into production of anything, I just want a thing made, to do the thing I need
23:17:42 <Nothing\> rust_collector: that's the same feeling i have about CNC machinesuu
23:17:56 <Nothing\> argh wtf why does my pi keep slowing down so bad it's unusable
23:18:05 <rust_collector> I mean, they are awesome machines, but. meh.
23:18:21 <Nothing\> yeah i dunno what it is but i just find them mundane
23:18:23 <rust_collector> mmmmh, because it is a pi?
23:18:27 <Nothing\> but that's the sense i've always had with power tools
23:18:59 <Nothing\> well yeah, but i'm not taxing it that much, turned out i had bit torrent running though and apparently this thing's too slow to even be able to use its full network interface capabalities
23:19:27 <Nothing\> and something tells me the pi 4s won't be available until next year, that is they'll be sold out constantly
23:19:47 <rust_collector> power tools are loud and annoying, and will kill you if you let them. what don't you like about them?
23:20:25 <Nothing\> heh i do admit, i've wanted a rotary tool/dremel for ages for the sake of making project boxes and making teardowns easier
23:20:35 <rust_collector> Hmm, otoh, my dad managed to saw himself on the back, with a hand saw... so there is that
23:20:39 <Nothing\> a bench vice would be nice too
23:20:49 <Nothing\> lol how on earth do you manage that? was he drunk or something?
23:21:06 <rust_collector> a vice and a hammer, hacksaw and 2 files will do a lot
23:21:44 <rust_collector> as you mentioned a dremel, I guess you are not doing anything too big
23:21:46 <Nothing\> yeah i've gotten by alright with most of that, except a vice, i REALLY need a work bench
23:21:56 <rust_collector> yes, you do
23:21:56 <Nothing\> nah, nothing that doesn't fit in my hand
23:22:30 <Nothing\> i have this solid wood table with a cherry finish i found on the curb, it's in superb condition, i've been wanting to set it up somewhere as a work area but my living room's full of boxes
23:22:55 <Nothing\> and i know if i put it in any other room it'll just go unused cuz i don't go into any of the other rooms in here
23:23:11 <Nothing\> if i can't do it from this chair, it's more trouble than it's worth, apparently
23:23:18 <rust_collector> move the boxes to other room then
23:24:02 <Nothing\> yeah i've been slowly moving them into the basement but my mom and i have to go through them and see what's in them, we just emptied her storage unit so there's a pile of old dirty boxes about 20x20x6 feet
23:24:31 <rust_collector> good times
23:24:49 <Nothing\> indeed, and i keept telling her i wanna move to a bigger city lol
23:25:28 <Nothing\> i'd love to live in toronto if the cost of living weren't so ridiculously huge
23:25:48 <Nothing\> apparently the average cost of a home there is $800k, how on earth can any one in the middle class even afford that
23:25:53 <rust_collector> I have no idea what people do, when they live in any size city
23:26:25 <Nothing\> it's not so much about what i would do but more about having options and freedom, plus having adequate healthcare which i'm in desperate need of
23:26:43 <Nothing\> quality of life is just inherently better in a big city, life expectancy is even longer
23:26:55 <Nothing\> plus i don't drive so that helps a lot
23:27:09 <rust_collector> god, I am moving to the place beyond nowhere then
23:27:37 <rust_collector> grandpa is already... uuh, 96, I think.
23:27:50 <rust_collector> I don't want to get much older than that
23:27:51 <Nothing\> i used to live in a placecalled waterloo with about 500,000 people and it was great, so green and lush, you could go anywhere in the city on foot without ever taking a main road
23:28:07 <Nothing\> yeah i've been watching my grandfather succumb to alzheimer's and it's scary
23:28:33 <Nothing\> i like to think i'd put a gun to my head before it came to that but experience has taught me it's just not that simple when shit hits the fan
23:28:44 <rust_collector> mine is still doing ok, but yeah, I think he is pretty sick of being alive
23:29:11 <Nothing\> i'm only 34 and i'm... well not sick of being alive, but i'm sick of all of the bullshit that comes with having a physical body and a brain
23:29:55 <Nothing\> frankly i consider every day i'm alive to be a blessing, so it's a mixed bag
23:31:08 <rust_collector> well, I have to go pick up a carb, way out in the area where cops only show up if their gps is broken
23:31:29 <Nothing\> heh good luck with that, don't get shanked
23:31:48 <rust_collector> we don't do that up here, very often
