32:10 <Ampera> can't tell you them if you're only here for 2-3 minutes
32:25 <Halcyon> Some people are so impatient
34:16 <Ampera> hi Halcyon, how do
34:24 <Halcyon> Tired
34:32 <Ampera> wheely?
34:42 <Halcyon> I was just chopping up part of a tree that fell
34:57 <Halcyon> Stupid chainsaw wouldn't start so I had to use a handsaw
34:59 <Ampera> mmm we did that except the tree didn't fall
35:13 <Ampera> on the bright side I have a bunch of willow wood for smoking.
39:30 <Halcyon> You love smoking wood :P
39:53 <Ampera> welp my dad's girlfriend is staying over for a few days
39:54 <Ampera> q.q
40:02 <Halcyon> Oh
40:08 <Halcyon> I didn't know he had a girlfriend
40:17 <Ampera> lol
40:31 <Ampera> all I can say about her is she's got jerry flaps
40:44 <Halcyon> Wha!?
40:50 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: The brains and the money team up again. More startup LOL's coming soon? cc @LiesNStartupPR https://t.co/ee6okWEhXZ
43:06 <Ampera> Halcyon, jerry flaps
43:16 <Halcyon> I don't know what those are
43:20 <Ampera> presumably she was rather fat at some point, but then got not fat (GBP or such)
43:29 <Ampera> so she has huge flaps of skin on her arms (and presumably the rest of her body)
43:41 <Halcyon> AHhh
44:20 <Ampera> those are called jerry flaps
44:32 <Halcyon> I've never heard them called that before
45:08 <Ampera> Anyways, gonna lay low for a while, idk why but I don't particularly feel like interacting with her.
45:44 <Halcyon> Fair enough
45:47 <Halcyon> You have us :D
47:53 <Ampera> I have a room with four screens and a computer for the next few days.
48:26 <Ampera> in other news school's coming up and I plan to bike/walk there
48:31 <Ampera> the issue is that my bike lock sucks
48:45 <Ampera> it's basically one step up from a master no. 3 and a cable
49:55 <Ampera> but honestly for a 100 dollar bike, even though it's a very nice bike, I'm not sure it's worth replacing
50:13 <Halcyon> Probably not
50:16 <Ampera> I have a very nice Kryptonite U-lock that would be perfect, but no key
50:24 <Halcyon> Most thieves are opportunistic
50:35 <Ampera> I could cut a key, but I need the equipment which could cost as much as a brand new one
03:59 <Halcyon> I don't understand how the Titanic's decay is making news
04:46 <Halcyon> It's been under the water for over 100 years
05:53 <Halcyon> Ohhh I see, there is a new doco coming out, this is all just to generate publicity
06:08 <Ampera> no I'm genuinely interested in these things
06:15 <Halcyon> Oh I'm interested too
06:32 <Halcyon> But they way they write the articles it's like it's a surprise that the ship is deteriorating
06:35 <Halcyon> *the
06:54 * Ampera yeets Halcyon into a brick wall
06:57 <DHess_US> Honestly I think the best electronics books I have read where Linear Technology Application Notes 1, 2, and 3.
07:15 <Halcyon> For example this quote: "For the first time in nearly 15 years, footage has been captured by humans showing the wreck of the Titanic — and things aren’t looking good for the legendary ship."
07:22 <DHess_US> Oh, and the Analog Devices Design In manual.
07:54 <Halcyon> Anyway, need to go the shops and the post office, back later
08:12 <DHess_US> Things aren't looking good? What, was the patients status updated from dead to living?
17:16 <DHess_US> Discussions about Titanic always remind me of Time Bandits.

27:00 <Ampera> Hi ThunderSqueak
27:56 <ThunderSqueak> hi there
28:04 <Ampera> how do
28:05 * ThunderSqueak actually cried today
28:19 <ThunderSqueak> during an appointment <.<
28:22 <ThunderSqueak> anyway
28:23 <Ampera> why did you do that
28:27 <ThunderSqueak> it hurt a lot
28:32 <Ampera> what did
28:36 <ThunderSqueak> what they did
28:43 <ThunderSqueak> that isnt for general channel comsumption
28:48 <Ampera> afternet
28:50 <ThunderSqueak> ^^
28:52 <Ampera> if you want
28:57 <ThunderSqueak> nah
29:01 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
29:04 <ThunderSqueak> just saying I cried today
29:15 <Ampera> alright then
29:18 <ThunderSqueak> then put on loud music, and said "get this over with"
29:21 <ThunderSqueak> so they did
29:36 <Ampera> pain is fun
29:56 <Ampera> It's one of the greatest reminders of pleasure.
30:01 <Ampera> Without it, there would be no joy.
30:31 <Ampera> I'm bored and hate being reasonable about sticking to my existing projects, I think I might try to make an IRCd
30:41 <Ampera> it will let me learn about networking from a programming aspect, something I've never done before.
30:44 <ThunderSqueak> well this had NO pleasure
31:03 <ThunderSqueak> one of the most painful pains you can feel <.<
31:12 <ThunderSqueak> at least it is over
32:27 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera, ThunderSqueak
32:51 <steve30> hi Halcyon
33:08 <ThunderSqueak> hi there Halcyon
33:10 <Halcyon> Steve! :)
33:18 <Ampera> ThunderSqueak, pain doesn't give pleasure, it gives pleasure meaning.
33:30 <ThunderSqueak> nah
33:33 <Ampera> You cannot see black text without a white background.
33:42 <ThunderSqueak> pleasure gives pleasure meaning
33:45 <ThunderSqueak> :p
33:49 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
34:00 <ThunderSqueak> trust your elders :P
34:14 <steve30> I was really tired yesterday. Hopefully my good sleep will have helped :)
34:22 * ThunderSqueak waits for a snarky remark.
35:15 <Ampera> I trust nobody, those older than me may simple know more lies.
38:37 <Halcyon> But older people can also cut through the bullshit
38:42 <Halcyon> It's about knowing who you can trust
39:46 * steve30 hugs Halcyon 
40:14 <DHess_US> <ThunderSqueak> one of the most painful pains you can feel <.<
40:20 <DHess_US> Being wipped with a wet noodle?
40:22 <Ampera> I've noticed an interesting thing with old information.
40:37 <Ampera> Many time when information gets passed down, nobody questions it, and nobody tries to see if it's true.
40:44 <ThunderSqueak> no
40:50 <DHess_US> Having soup rubbed into your hair?
40:58 <ThunderSqueak> f of :P
41:04 <ThunderSqueak> f off :P
41:16 <Ampera> I'm trying to think of the most physical pain I've ever experienced.
41:31 <Ampera> To whatever fortune it may be, I've never experienced great physical pain. Only mental.
41:39 <ThunderSqueak> both here
41:45 <DHess_US> I had my gall bladder removed 3 days after an emergency room visit so nobody can school me about pain.
42:03 <steve30> I was in agony a few years ago when the dentist was drilling my teeth out to give me a filling :/
42:28 <Ampera> I've pulled out my own teeth before.
42:33 <Ampera> Not my adults ones, but still teeth.
42:36 <ThunderSqueak> I am immune to the stuff dentist uses, my dentist tries different ones every time... none work at all
42:45 <ThunderSqueak> so I get my teeth done without a pain killer
42:49 <ThunderSqueak> and this was worse then that
42:52 <DHess_US> I still have the bottle of Vicodin they have me after my gall bladder removal.
42:52 <ThunderSqueak> anyway
43:52 * Halcyon noms on a cheese wheel
44:27 <DHess_US> "You're keytones are high (starving), your glycol is high (well fed), and your white blood cell count is high (infection), so you are not leaving this hospital until whatever is wrong is fixed."
44:39 <steve30> I have coffee
44:51 <DHess_US> I had to give up coffee. :(
44:58 <Halcyon> Oh no :(
45:08 <Halcyon> Coffee is good for you unless it's loaded with sugar
45:16 <DHess_US> Finally figured out that coffee was giving my migrain headaches.
45:23 <Halcyon> The the bad outweighs any good
45:49 <DHess_US> I mean real migrain headaches with auras and visual distorbances and everything.
45:49 <Halcyon> Was it specifically coffee or anything caffeinated
46:00 <DHess_US> It was just coffee. Caffinated soda is fine.
46:19 <Halcyon> Weird
46:19 <DHess_US> Well, I have other migrain triggers like red wine and champagne but coffee is one of them.
46:32 <Halcyon> I suppose people can have allergies/adverse reactions to anything
46:46 <DHess_US> If I drink coffee occationally, it is fine. But if I drink it, even weak, every day, it gets bad.
48:16 <DHess_US> I finally figured out when I was having scintillating scotomas every other day, it had to be somethign I was regularly eating. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scintillating_scotoma
50:43 <Halcyon> I can't begin to imagine what that's like. I've never had a migraine
50:57 <DHess_US> Halcyon, coffee contains a lot of other alkaloys besides caffein so it isn't surprising that caffein by itself wasn't a problem.
51:06 <DHess_US> alkaloids
51:11 <Halcyon> Mmm fair enough
51:11 <steve30> My Mother gets migraines. She's usually very ill for a day or two
51:20 <DHess_US> Chocolate is often a migrain trigger for the same reason.
51:42 <Halcyon> It's strange how the body works
51:53 <Halcyon> I'm often fascinated by such things
51:56 <steve30> yum, chocolate
52:09 <steve30> In fact, I'm going to buy some chocolate later this morning
52:12 <DHess_US> Yea, I'd be sick for 1/2 a day to a day. One reason I could tell that it was a migrain is that I would feel so good after it was over even if I only got the visual part with no pain.
52:31 <Halcyon> I know it sounds morbid but my grandmother died yesterday, she was being treated for a fracture hip, ended up in cardiac arrest on the operating table
53:08 <Halcyon> Ended up watching videos on the heart, it was fascinating about how fragile, yet how resilient it is
53:13 <steve30> ouch
53:18 <DHess_US> bone breaks can be deadly especially in the elderly. It is too easy to get a blood clot or fat embolism.
53:49 <Halcyon> I mean she was in her 90's. We dubbed her a cockroach because after numerous ailments and operations, she kept living
54:09 <DHess_US> It is pretty much never unexpected for someone that old.
54:16 <Halcyon> Indeed
54:48 <DHess_US> When you can treat practically every other cause of death, old age becomes a serious liability.
55:03 <Halcyon> Yeh it's a bit of a hard limit isn't it
55:10 <Halcyon> Until they work out how to slow it
55:34 <DHess_US> I never met my paternal grandmother. My maternal grandmother has been dead for at least 30 years.
55:49 <Halcyon> Or preserve a "person" (in other words, keep their brain functioning with various inputs like sight, touch, control etc...)
56:05 <DHess_US> But would it really be them?
56:05 <Ampera> Coffee makes me terribly ill, not caffeinated soda
56:13 <Halcyon> Well a person is their brain
56:21 <Halcyon> Memories, thoughts, experience...
56:37 <Ampera> If a person is their brain, why do we worry about our bodies so much?
56:38 <DHess_US> Is it? Is someone who wakes up from sleep the same person? What about someone who wakes up after general anathesia?
56:53 <Halcyon> Ampera: Because people are shallow
56:58 <steve30> My Grandma's sister-in-law, Dorothy, died the other week, aged 99.5
57:00 <Ampera> then I am shallow
57:02 <Halcyon> And also, we haven't worked out a way to live without our body
57:15 <Ampera> so is every trans person :P
57:17 <Halcyon> That's a good life Steve
57:23 <Ampera> actually that's probably not that far off from the truth.
57:41 <DHess_US> Eh, the question is irrelevant. None of you exist when I am asleep.
57:58 <Halcyon> If there was some way to interface most bodily functions using machine, I reckon I'd be up for it when I'm older
58:14 <Halcyon> As long as the brain kept ticking, put me in a jar and hook me up I say
58:30 <Halcyon> That's what you think DHess_US :P
58:41 <DHess_US> Or just pick a few. We have the technology. We can rebuild Halcyon. Faster, stronger, and with double Ds.
58:46 <Halcyon> I'm going to come into your dreams tonight, might bring Dave Jones with me for the ride
58:58 <DHess_US> It's in my life insurance contract. When I die, the world ends.
59:07 <Halcyon> Well, that's true
59:10 <Halcyon> Facts are facts
59:29 <steve30> Her daughter sold the house in Australia and moved her down to Hobart to be in a care home near the family. I loved the quote from Dorothy's letter a couple of years ago: "I just found out that this new home is a care home. I'm only 97 - I don't need care!"
59:58 <DHess_US> So they were nice and cruel at the same time.
00:10 <Halcyon> But yeh, if I had the choice to live another 200 years but my body is replaced with a machine and as long as I could move, talk, think and manipulate physical things, I'd do it.
00:22 <DHess_US> Sure, so would I.
00:41 <DHess_US> But if they can do that, then they can stick you into a death cube.
00:42 <Halcyon> Steve: Hobart is a gorgeous place! I'd move there if I could
01:13 <DHess_US> That might be obscure. I'm not sure if death cube is defined online anywhere.
01:15 <Halcyon> Or if they could do "Body as a Service", I'd be software
01:22 <Halcyon> As long as Ampera couldn't fuck with me :P
01:59 <steve30> I'd be happy to die when the time comes. I used to like the idea of living to see the future, but I'm not bothered any more.
02:01 <Halcyon> Might have to make some tactical restore points along the way
02:34 <Ampera> I'd flush you down the digital drain as fast as you could try to kernel panic
02:42 <DHess_US> I'll be an expert when we get to that point. I once lost all of my clones before getting to the briefing in Paranoia.
03:11 <Halcyon> I'd make sure there was a failsafe Ampera, if you try to destroy me, it activates a dead man switch and blows you up
03:47 <DHess_US> How unimaginative. My dead man switch sets Nancy Peloci on fire.
04:04 <Halcyon> She is insignificant to me, so meh.
04:30 <Ampera> Halcyon, that's the stupidest idea and you know me.
05:22 * ThunderSqueak wiggles.
05:35 <DHess_US> Oh, I thought we scared you away.
05:44 <DHess_US> And by we, I mean me.
06:19 <Ampera> It would be a shame, she's one of the few people who don't hate me.
06:46 <DHess_US> If you pay me to, then I will hate you.
07:01 <DHess_US> I'm thinking hate at you. Is it working?
08:03 <steve30> I think my parcel will come today :)
08:11 <Halcyon> OK, the dead man switch activates Rick Astley for all eternity
08:27 <DHess_US> Dude, don't be cruel.
08:32 <Ampera> Halcyon, I actually don't mind that song.
08:43 <Halcyon> I actually don't mind it either
08:48 <Halcyon> But too much of a good thing is bad
08:49 <Ampera> HAH
08:50 <Ampera> faggot
08:55 <Halcyon> Derr
09:57 <Halcyon> You realise being a faggot/gay/mincer etc... isn't offensive? I fucking love my life
10:06 <Halcyon> Screw being straight (no offence breeders)
10:43 <Ampera> I hate my life. Homosexuality is fine, but gender dysphoria is I think one of the worst things anyone could have.
11:21 * Halcyon hugs Ampera
12:08 <Halcyon> Just on that... if/when you decide to transition, have you thought of actually changing your name legally to "Ampera" ?
12:12 <Halcyon> Most people call you that anyway
12:20 <Ampera> I actually have, and decided not to.
12:30 <Ampera> Largely because I do not think it would end up being a good name.
12:36 <Halcyon> I actually like it
12:41 <Ampera> It's the name of a car.
12:49 <Halcyon> Must be a US thing
12:52 <Halcyon> Never heard of it
12:55 <Ampera> No, it's a Europe thing.
12:58 <Ampera> Actually I think AU too
13:05 <Halcyon> Who makes it?
13:19 <Halcyon> Oh Vauxhall
13:24 <Halcyon> Yeh we don't have them here
13:25 <Ampera> Vauxhall Ampera in UK Opel Ampera in EU
13:25 * steve30 curls up on Halcyon's lap
13:28 <Ampera> Yes you do
13:30 <Ampera> Holden Volt.
13:36 <Ampera> It's the Chevrolet Volt.
13:39 <Halcyon> Holden doesn't exist here anymore
13:44 <Ampera> I didn't say they did.
13:57 <Halcyon> No one here knows what "Ampera" is
14:03 <Halcyon> Sure, Holden Volt, but still
14:07 <Ampera> Still, I don't think it's a good name.
14:17 <Ampera> I'd rather keep it as an alias.
14:40 <Halcyon> You're shit, I like it. It has the opportunity for many cute nick names like Amps, Ampy, A-hole etc...
15:04 <steve30> ooh, dave is live
15:05 * Halcyon scratches Steve's head
15:34 <Halcyon> Why didn't he tweet it? Rude!
16:09 * steve30 meows
16:59 <Halcyon> I'm half tempted to SMS him, see if his phone buzzes :P
17:11 <steve30> do it :)
17:20 <Halcyon> Mmmmm... :P
17:53 <Halcyon> He's soldering, I'll leave him be. He has his glasses on which means he's really concentrating
26:41 <steve30> Its going to be hot and sunny for the next few days
33:24 <Halcyon> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S-u6qdeaPoE
34:17 <Ampera> Halcyon, I need your police connections real quick.
34:17 <Ampera> https://i.redd.it/007d7azvy3i31.jpg
34:19 <Ampera> This guy
34:24 <Ampera> Can you please tell him he's a fucking moron
34:30 <Ampera> (if this is even real :3)
34:47 <Halcyon> Sadly yes, I know that guy from Media Unit
34:51 <Ampera> HAH
35:30 <Halcyon> He comes up with some strange shit sometimes ... "appealing" to the younger/dumber audience
36:04 <Halcyon> To be fair, what he is saying is spot on, people can't fucking stick to basic road rules
36:41 <Ampera> I don't even want to read the damn thing whole, I'm afraid I'll cringe so hard I'll shit out a kidney.
36:47 <Halcyon> :P
36:53 <Halcyon> I don't think it's meant for you :P
37:16 <Halcyon> The amount of people I flash/yelp the siren on the way home is amazing. People just have no idea.
37:29 <Ampera> You drive a squad car home?
37:43 <Halcyon> It's unmarked, but yeh
37:49 <Ampera> huh
37:53 <Halcyon> I work in a specialist unit so we're allowed to take cars home
38:01 <Ampera> you're special, Halcyon :)
38:07 <Ampera> really special
38:12 <Halcyon> As in, no Police markings at all, just covert lights and siren fitted
38:18 <Halcyon> Window licked special?
38:20 <Halcyon> *licker
38:39 <Ampera> antifreeze drinker special
40:03 <Halcyon> That's a new one
40:37 <Halcyon> But yeh, all our cars in my unit are either unmarked or covertly registered
46:03 * steve30 is in the mood for snuggling up somewhere cosy
46:53 <Ampera> I'm in the mood for crying, but I don't tend to do that
47:08 <Ampera> IRC is one of the few places I seem to manage to release my emotions ever.
47:58 <Halcyon> I'm in an indeterminate mood
49:49 * steve30 pets Halcyon 
50:10 <Halcyon> :)
50:10 <Ampera> Pain and sadness is so common, my bad moods have become my good ones.
51:51 <Halcyon> 9
51:56 <Halcyon> That was Jerry
52:11 <Ampera> hi jerry
52:17 <steve30> Meow
52:23 <Halcyon> He is so cute
52:33 <Halcyon> He is looking at himself in my glass
54:46 <Halcyon> https://imgur.com/a/SoaUeEO
55:33 <Ampera> what a brid
56:03 <steve30> aww
56:19 <Halcyon> He is adorable
57:03 * steve30 pets jerry
57:19 <Halcyon> He loves scratches behind his neck and under his chin
05:23 <steve30> I need to pop out to the shop, and I wouldn't mind getting a coffee, but we don't have any decent coffee shops round here any more
10:00 <Halcyon> What ya getting?
10:54 <steve30> biscuits, chocolate and a newspaper
44:53 <Halcyon> What kind of chocolate?
06:16 <steve30> milk chocolate
06:30 <Halcyon> Nummy

18:54 <steve30> for my home energy monitor
18:55 <Ampera> maybe I can help, and by help I mean you convince me to actually do some work on my own programs :/
19:33 * T3sl4 plunks down a BBC Micro on Ampera's head
19:44 * Ampera throws an owl at T3sl4 
19:45 <steve30> I need a PROCedure to run every one second.

33:46 <Ampera> T3sl4, steve30 https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-7pE5NQ2Pmy8/XV-k2vojCQI/AAAAAAAAAys/szKoJHE9XrANRbkEVUZPM6VGG120_TIBgCK8BGAs/s0/2019-08-23.jpg
34:17 * T3sl4 scritches Ampera behind the ear
34:30 <steve30> meow :)
40:28 <Halcyon> Cats don't belong on the bed
40:52 <Ampera> and you don't belong on this earth
41:00 <Halcyon> Perhaps not
41:03 <steve30> yes they do :)
41:04 <Halcyon> ROFL
41:08 <Halcyon> * Received a CTCP FUCK YOU from Ampera
41:40 <Halcyon> I've been really enjoying Atomic Shrimp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnzJVqMt36A
41:40 * steve30 curls up on Halcyon's duvet
41:54 <Halcyon> Cute boys on the other hand are welcome on the bed :P
42:03 <Ampera> a channel I've really been enjoying is uncommentatedpannen
42:15 <Halcyon> I'll look it up after this video
42:18 <Ampera> the sheer extent people like him have gone to tear apart just one game is incredible.
42:26 <Ampera> He plays Super Mario 64
42:37 <Ampera> Less plays it, more tears apart its every single minute inner working.
42:49 <Ampera> I believe his current ultimate goal is to play the entire game without pressing the A button.
43:13 <Halcyon> The one thing I don't get about this survivalist stuff is... why bother buying bread in a can... just buy flour and water.
43:48 <Ampera> canned bread is a classic food over here
43:52 <Ampera> people just like it like that
43:55 <Ampera> it'
43:58 <Ampera> s not survivalist at all
44:04 <Halcyon> I have never seen canned bread, let alone tried it
44:18 <Ampera> It's usually a sweet brown bread, I could get some at any major supermarket.
44:26 <Halcyon> But WHY!?
44:33 <Ampera> because people like it
44:33 <Halcyon> Fresh bread is so easy and cheap to make
44:38 <Ampera> that's not the point
44:41 <Halcyon> People are stupid
44:42 <Ampera> it's basically a canned cake of sorts
44:47 <Ampera> you're stupid, you want to fuck men
44:51 <Ampera> faggot
45:05 <Halcyon> Bread ≠ Cake
45:14 <Ampera> it is here
45:25 <Halcyon> Besides, you want men to fuck you
45:28 <Halcyon> We're even
45:45 <Ampera> I have a serious mental disorder that causes me continual, daily pain and agony
45:50 <Ampera> what do you have
46:01 <Halcyon> Hmm...
46:08 <Halcyon> A bird that poops on my desk?
49:51 * Halcyon hugs Ampera
55:49 <Ampera> I think I might go to the bed, hopefully I can sleep through most of the day.
56:08 <Halcyon> Goodnight matey
57:00 <rust_collector> morning....lol
58:14 <Halcyon> Ah yes, its 0500 there
59:35 <rust_collector> 11 here. And I have to sit in a fridge today...
00:06 <Halcyon> ?
02:21 <rust_collector> work. I have cool or frozen stuff to haul today, so I will end up sitting for hours doing nothing, in a fridge
03:07 <Halcyon> Fun
03:10 <Halcyon> What kind of stuff?
03:32 <rust_collector> usually it is frozen vegetables, and/or fish
03:58 <rust_collector> but who knows... it can be anything that needs to be cool, and go from a to b
05:37 <rust_collector> for all I know, it is frozen cocaine. tons of it.
05:55 <Halcyon> So you basically load and drive trucks full of random foods?
06:09 <rust_collector> yea, today I am
06:49 <rust_collector> most days, I load and drive trucks full of random crap
07:23 <Halcyon> \o/
08:40 <rust_collector> yesterday, I had a load of mail going down south, then on the way back, I had a few empty pallets, and had to pick up one snow plow, and 3 excavator buckets, and some pallets of stuff on the way home
09:18 <Halcyon> How far do you normally drive in a shift?
09:28 <rust_collector> hmm.
10:03 <rust_collector> well, I would say around 400km +/-
10:17 <Halcyon> That's not too bad
10:19 <rust_collector> it is local work
11:14 <rust_collector> the pickups and drops in the middle of the woods is the work, not the driving. any monkey can do that
13:12 <Halcyon> I've never driven a truck but here, the rules are if you're solo, you can't work more than 12 hours in a 24 hour period
13:23 <rust_collector> heh, ok
13:27 <Halcyon> And you must have a break of at least 7 hours in between
13:31 <rust_collector> ok
13:45 <Halcyon> That being said, you can drive a long way in 12 hours in Australia, depending on the route
14:39 <Halcyon> I would imagine driving a road train in the outback would be interesting
15:28 <rust_collector> here you can drive 4.5 hours, 45 minutes off, drive 4.5 hours, then either 45 minutes off, or 9 hours off. if 45, you can drive 1 more hour, but only 3 times a week. and you have to have finished 45 hours off, before it has been 144hours since you started your week
15:44 <rust_collector> pretty much
16:58 <rust_collector> with lots of you can xxxx if yyy stuff in there
17:15 <rust_collector> like the 45 minute break can be split into a 15 and a 30
17:34 <rust_collector> the 9 hour daily rest can be a 3+6
17:35 <Halcyon> Sounds confusing
17:37 <rust_collector> and so on
17:39 <rust_collector> yeah
18:08 <Halcyon> Depending on how long you work, there are minimum consecutive breaks you have to take, you can't break them up
18:14 <rust_collector> well, time to go, have fun
18:19 <Halcyon> Which is fair enough if you're driving for an entire week
18:23 <Halcyon> Enjoy :)
