00:55:33 <rust_collector> Nothing\: you can come with me to work tomorrow.
00:56:53 <rust_collector> -37c all day long
00:59:17 <K> where is that?
00:59:31 <K> working with negative people?
01:00:57 <Nothing\> rust_collector: i'm undecided as to whether i hate cold or hot more
01:01:14 <Nothing\> even modest cold feels quite literally like i'm dying
01:01:25 <rust_collector> now you can figure that out
01:01:35 <Nothing\> whereas heat makes me feel like i'm suffocating
01:01:54 <Nothing\> especially if it's humid like this, the air gets so damn thick it's like trying to breathe a milkshake
01:02:18 <rust_collector> Now, WHY did you try to breathe a milkshake?
01:03:14 <rust_collector> I enjoy the moderate cold we get here, My body does not agree, so we have to figure out a deal there
01:03:39 <Nothing\> lol one thing i've always wanted to see is a video of somebody literally trying to breathe water, like putting their face in a pool and just taking a huge breath in
01:04:05 <Nothing\> it's really hard to find such a video though, it always turns up stupid videos about how people can one day breathe special liquid like in the abyss
01:04:19 <rust_collector> you do have some weird interests
01:04:42 <Nothing\> it proves the justice of our culture
01:04:53 <rust_collector> creating fat squirrels... breathing milk...
01:05:09 <Nothing\> now if i can only breathe squirrel milk
01:05:34 <Nothing\> the one squirrel keeps pissing everywhere lol
01:06:01 <rust_collector> probably has a kidney failure, from all the peenuts
01:06:17 <Nothing\> funny you mention that, my brother's getting that right now
01:06:23 <Nothing\> he's in the hospital with rhabdo
01:06:46 <Nothing\> i figure it'll progress to kidney failure cuz the hospital sucks
01:07:01 <rust_collector> there you go. But why did you change to squirrels, after your brother was done?
01:07:16 <Nothing\> do what?
01:07:28 <rust_collector> force feeding them peanuts
01:07:46 <Nothing\> if you were a soccer, what kind of secrets would you have?
01:08:16 <rust_collector> I can not tell
01:09:02 <K> it's a secret!
01:09:07 <Nothing\> wtf why does logisim always start with the window sized as absolutely tiny as possible tucked way the hell in the corner where i can barely even reach it with my mouse
01:09:23 <Nothing\> i hate it when windows end up on the edge of the screen like that
01:10:46 <rust_collector> uhm, make it open larger and somewhere else, if it is a problem?
01:11:20 <Nothing\> well the problem is not being able to do that if it's too far off the screen that i can't click on the title bar
01:11:33 <Nothing\> hasn't happened on here yet, but it's happened on windows a bunch
01:11:46 <Nothing\> here it at least leaves a sliver of title bar i can grab
01:12:11 <Nothing\> speaking of windows, they should be about due for a new version soon, or a new service pack of 10
01:12:24 <rust_collector> yeah, years ago
01:12:31 <rust_collector> "should"
01:12:53 <Nothing\> i avoided switching to 10 cuz it seemed more optimized for mobile devices, so i figure what the hell do i want something like that on a desktop for
01:13:08 <Nothing\> so tried to stick with 7
01:13:17 <rust_collector> I do like 2 things about it
01:13:30 <rust_collector> it is small, and fairly quick
01:13:32 <Nothing\> 7 became practically unusable when i installed the service packs though, as every version of windows seems to for some reason
01:13:49 <Nothing\> yeah it ran pretty smooth on my mom's laptop for how underpowered the hardware was
01:14:10 <rust_collector> yep. or, at least it is able to make it look like it is
01:14:39 <rust_collector> but yes, the installed size is pretty ok.
01:14:58 <rust_collector> and... I like some of the colors they use...
01:15:08 <rust_collector> uuh, I can not think of anythin gelse
01:15:27 <Nothing\> i dunno what it is about the service packs though, i had problems on XP with SP 1 and 2 making it so slow that it was almost unusable, i resisted upgrading to sp1 on windows 7 but more and more i was coming across games which used .net 4.0 or something like that, which only worked on windows 7 sp1 or higher so i wound up having no choice
01:16:30 <Nothing\> i remember with xp, after installing sp1 and 2 i'd have to install literally several hundred patches just to regain some performance, but it never got anywhere near as fast as it was before "upgrading"
01:17:54 <Nothing\> rust_collector: i just had a vision of you and i escaping the law in a qin dynasty chariot, but with no horses
01:19:04 <rust_collector> right, it is spitdog powered
01:19:22 <rust_collector> my favourite dog

03:18:25 <DHess_US> That is mildly disturbing.
03:38:08 <Ampera> DHess_US, I take disturbing to mean sexually attractive
03:52:21 * steve30 hugs T3sl41
03:52:40 Nick: T3sl41 is now known as T3sl4
03:52:42 * T3sl4 hugs steve30
03:53:16 <steve30> :)
03:57:30 <T3sl4> do anything today steve30?
03:58:15 <steve30> I hot air removed a small chip, and ironed a new chip in its place :)
03:58:19 <steve30> Then I went out on the bike
03:58:29 <T3sl4> was that your RMS?
03:58:38 <steve30> yes
03:58:42 <T3sl4> yey
03:58:55 <steve30> I think the original chip was dead :/
03:59:11 <T3sl4> might've been zapped, might've been... who knows
03:59:35 <steve30> I got the modules from a chinese ebayer, so could have been anything. One worked, one didn't.
03:59:44 <Ampera> I have a BGA chip that has shit itself that I want to replace with another one, which I'd do, except I don't have the tooling for that
03:59:46 <Ampera> speaking of hot air.
03:59:51 <T3sl4> ah, definitely scrapped or counterfeit parts then
03:59:57 <Ampera> I have a motherboard with a dead chipset, and a chipset with a dead motherboard.
04:00:08 <T3sl4> Ampera, tune a TV to CNN and point that at it
04:00:35 <steve30> I got some floppy drive cables in the post today. They smell very fusty.
04:00:44 <Ampera> T3sl4, that's a low setting, C-SPAN might work better
04:00:57 <Ampera> What is the odour, "fusty"?
04:01:12 <T3sl4> CSPAN is hotter but slower moving, maybe Fox News if you dare
04:01:20 <steve30> like musty
04:01:29 <T3sl4> a musty faustiness?
04:01:35 <T3sl4> or vice versa
04:01:57 <Ampera> T3sl4, not fox news, I'm trying to desolder the chip, not induce enough energy density into a single object as to cause a black hole
04:02:36 * T3sl4 nods
04:04:22 <Ampera> Maybe I should just tune to Al Jazeera, that should provide a nice concentrated heat
04:05:44 <T3sl4> Al Jizzhaira
04:05:54 <T3sl4> which is apparently kinda impossible to get out, don't get jizz in hair
04:09:42 <Ampera> T3sl4, you trying to sexually frustrate me?
04:10:25 <T3sl4> is it working?
04:10:34 <desu> homo
04:11:31 <T3sl4> what about the highest occupied molecular orbital?
04:11:53 <desu> is that called a homo?
04:11:56 <desu> i didn't know
04:12:09 <T3sl4> HOMO and LUMO (lowest unoccupied MO)
04:12:30 <desu> cool
04:13:47 <Ampera> desu, takes a fag to know a fag
04:14:25 <desu> sure does
04:14:48 * Ampera leers at desu
04:15:59 <Ampera> desu, why do you hate the gays so much?
04:16:39 <desu> i hate everyone
04:16:41 <desu> really
04:16:58 <Ampera> does, does, does
04:17:01 <Ampera> does that include
04:17:11 <Ampera> me?
04:17:23 <desu> no you're alright
04:17:28 <Ampera> FUCK
04:17:34 * Ampera bitchslaps desu across the face
04:17:39 <Ampera> don't you EVER RESPECT ME AGAIN
04:17:39 <desu> lol
04:17:40 <Ampera> BITCH
04:17:46 <desu> ok i wont faggot
04:17:50 <Ampera> Thank you.
04:17:58 <Ampera> There's too much joy in the world for you to be adding more to it
04:19:34 <Ampera> Maybe I should invest in an external DAC for my desktop, as I can hear noise relative to how much load my PC is under
04:19:37 <Ampera> it is neat, however
04:20:00 <desu> are you a audiophile
04:20:23 <T3sl4> that was always annoying about my Inspiron, the charger whine would get into the audio
04:20:29 <T3sl4> haven't had anything that did that since tho
04:21:05 <Ampera> desu, no I am a desuphile
04:21:07 <Ampera> owo
04:21:11 <desu> freak
04:21:19 <Ampera> true
04:21:40 <Ampera> no I'm not, that, however, doesn't mean I can't want nice audio gear.
04:21:46 <Ampera> It also doesn't mean I can afford it either.
04:23:04 <desu> im using the internal speaker on my hp compaq lol
04:24:52 <desu> https://i2.yuki.la/b/af/0e0d55edc716c14f1f7ed3887b4dd0d1de8b937c7eefcc4998fc5d4213dd1afb.jpg
04:24:55 <desu> whats the point
04:24:58 <desu> of the huge cables
04:25:05 <desu> is that all insulation?
04:25:15 <T3sl4> looks like megacolon
04:25:21 <coppice_> more than 10 years ago most motherboard audio was nasty, but by 10 years ago most motherboards had a nice quiet background, and the main residual problem was poor compatibility with some headphones (horrible distortion, because the output stage was obviously being destabilised by the load. That seems to have been mostly cleaned up now
04:25:35 <T3sl4> )
04:26:12 <Ampera> coppice_, no this audio is pretty okay, it's just a very very minor whine when the system is under heavy load that is only noticeable during times of complete silence
04:27:38 <coppice_> Ampera: its a while since I heard any background noises at all from on board audio. I mostly use an external box for my audio, but that's mostly to have condenser mic inputs
04:27:58 <Ampera> coppice_, I have a Z97 board, so not the newest
04:28:01 <Ampera> but also not ages old either
04:28:37 <coppice_> that generation should be fine from most board makers
04:28:44 <Ampera> Gigabyte
04:28:55 <coppice_> they are usually OK
04:28:56 <Ampera> I actually quite like their boards, they've had some neat features.
04:29:20 <Ampera> Most board manufacturers are usually fine, the only one that has a real legendarily bad reputation is Elitegroup
04:34:11 <desu> never even heard of them
04:34:34 <desu> wow
04:34:36 <desu> 20$ lol
04:34:42 <coppice_> I don't think Elitegroup don't sell directly to the public any more
04:34:48 <desu> oh that's used
04:34:50 <T3sl4> double dont
04:34:52 <Ampera> Yeah maybe
04:35:04 <Ampera> Foxconn also had some shit under their name, but they also had decent boards.
04:35:23 <Ampera> iirc they sold cardboard substrate motherboards, but that might have just been a rumor or something
04:35:46 <coppice_> In the early days of motherboards Elitegroup was a premium supplier, but they swapped to chasing the low end
04:36:12 <Ampera> BIOSTAR also does good boards
04:36:21 <Ampera> idk if they're still around anymore, I used to really like their boards.
04:36:25 <Ampera> A-BIT too, but they're long gone.
04:36:37 <coppice_> biostar was good and cheap. but I think they have gone
04:36:43 <Ampera> :/
04:36:44 <coppice_> most of them have gone
04:37:08 <coppice_> A-bit was OK until they started chasing overclocking performance
04:37:10 <Ampera> Par for the course, as boards get more expensive and complicated, and they have to stand behind shit projects.
04:37:28 <Ampera> I know A-BIT from their Socket A days (as I have one of their boards).
04:37:38 <Ampera> Really nice board for the era, it really deserves to be in a case.

11:04:42 <mrpackethead> lol.
11:05:28 <mrpackethead> just had a meeting about a database design.
11:05:41 <T3sl4> was bobby tables involved
11:05:43 <mrpackethead> imperial = relational, metric = nosql
