53:54 <coppice> I wonder what the sales of those stock images is like?
54:45 <T3sl4> comparable to the chance a given uranium atom decays
03:13 <Ampera> T3sl4, more like Bismuth

47:43 <orbii> ugh. irritating. it took me calling up vendor and asking 'wtf is going on' for them investigate and then call back saying 'we're dispatching your siglent today' :| .. i paid on Monday, it should have dispatched on Wednesday at the latest. So much for playtime on the weekend now :(

27:44 * Halcyon noms on spicy ramen
30:55 <rust_collector> oh, Halcyon is here, So I probably have to get going.
31:06 <Halcyon> Hah thanks
38:38 <orbii> Halcyon: any particular brand, or store-bought?
38:46 <Halcyon> Samyang
39:01 <Halcyon> If you really like chilli, get the x2 spicy chicken, it'll blow your head off.
39:25 <orbii> nah, it doesnt
39:27 <orbii> but it's a good eat
39:39 <orbii> i have several 5x packets in the cupboard :)
40:42 <orbii> the 2x is the bestest
43:55 <Halcyon> Yup
43:56 <Halcyon> :)
44:13 <Halcyon> I do like my chilli
04:56 <orbii> sames.
07:03 <Halcyon> Time for a wine I think, I've earned it
18:13 <orbii> oh, nice
18:21 <orbii> i'm on-call, and doing a late-night change tonight. no fun for me :(
18:29 <Halcyon> Yuck
58:38 <Halcyon> YAY, looks like my package to Clive Mitchell cleared UK customs :-D
10:42 <T3sl4> bigly!
10:52 <T3sl4> the clive, that is
11:14 <Halcyon> I'm guessing that the lipo pack didn't look suss among all the various candies. :P
11:20 <Halcyon> Not that I did that on purpose or anything
12:05 <Halcyon> Nor did I purposely position the battery so it's 90 degrees to how the package would probably be x-rayed :P
20:05 <T3sl4> chonk alert https://i.redd.it/1dgz9yo1h7t31.jpg
23:22 <Halcyon> Stupid cat
28:26 <orbii> on a positive note, we're doing the change in the office - and just ordered pizza on the company dime.
28:42 <orbii> i'm still grumpy about the Siglent not arriving by tonight
30:13 <Halcyon> I know the feeling, I'm waiting for extra RAM to arrive for a server and I wanted to play this weekend.

38:07 <orbii> oh, nice.
38:12 <orbii> i wish my server could take more RAM :(
38:29 <Halcyon> 32GB is the max for my old hypervisor
38:32 <orbii> ah okay
38:41 <Halcyon> And it's a cunt too, I had to order DDR3 UDIMMs
38:46 <orbii> this has 48G - but i'd love 64G. it could do 128G if i could get the right ECC - but it's crazy expensive
39:02 <Halcyon> I had heaps of RDIMMs but they don't work. This particular board is very picky about RAM
39:03 <orbii> because of that, i'm not planning to upgrade this host for another year or two - i'll put a better xeon in it
39:31 <Halcyon> I have some trade accounts with resellers if you need pricing?
39:40 <orbii> nah, not really
39:44 * DogWomble wavves
39:47 <Halcyon> Hey Tim
39:48 <orbii> hey DogWomble
39:53 * T3sl4 vvaves at DogWomble
39:58 <DogWomble> how goes/
40:05 <DogWomble> ok apparently i can't type tonight
40:07 <orbii> not too bad.
40:09 <Halcyon> I do need to change the CPU in my pfsense box. It has an old Xeon which doesn't support AES-NI
40:38 * DogWomble install Mavis Beacon teaches DogWomble not to be a total keyboard-noob
40:39 <orbii> hopefully this weekend i can re-do my electronics/maker desk, and move the stuff from the desk-rack to the proper rack - and spend some time on the Vectrex and order some parts for it
40:43 <T3sl4> just relaxing with a cup of tea
40:52 <Halcyon> Nice
41:04 <Halcyon> Hey T3sl4, how proper of you
41:13 * T3sl4 sticks pinky out
41:21 <Halcyon> Do you have piano music or jazz playing as well?
41:25 <Halcyon> Maybe some mood lighting?
42:03 <Halcyon> Wow, this bidder on ebay really wants that 12MB Voodoo II card, he just outbid me at $120
42:53 <T3sl4> i have some LEDs on
43:03 <DogWomble> i'd love to have some alcomahol to relax with
43:05 <T3sl4> not colored, oh, maybe i'll turn on my red LED strings for ambiance
43:08 <Halcyon> https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/3Dfx-VOODOO-2-DIAMOND-MONSTER-3D-II-PCI-12-MB-Vintage-Graphics-Card/174061602787?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2055359.m1431.l2649
43:22 <T3sl4> DogWomble, that'd be a good complement to some saxamaphone
43:25 * Halcyon hands DogWomble some Shiraz
43:48 <Halcyon> https://i.pinimg.com/originals/50/5d/dd/505dddf82b3b92faafa9e875b7eeed16.png

45:05 <DogWomble> i don't know whether they home delivery or not though
45:24 <Halcyon> Lemme see, Weston Creek would be the nearest to you wouldn't it?
45:36 <DogWomble> 'there's one down the road in phillip
46:07 <Halcyon> Do you even drink wine?
46:24 <DogWomble> occasionally, i usually go for beer or whiskey
46:45 <Halcyon> Gees, $15 for 2 hour delivery
46:49 <Halcyon> I suppose that's fair enough
47:15 <Halcyon> You going to be up for a while tonight? Or would it be wasted on you?
47:26 <Halcyon> I couldn't buy you a drink last time I was there so this is close enough
47:40 <DogWomble> yeah, i plan on being up for a while
47:59 <Halcyon> So what will it be then?
48:14 <Halcyon> I think this is probably the first time I've shouted someone a beverage over the internet
48:22 <Halcyon> I'm actually curious to see how well it works
49:43 <DogWomble> i'm jsut looking at stuff that is avaialble for delivery :)
49:49 <Halcyon> Isn't all of it?
50:02 <DogWomble> some of it seems to be listed as 'not available for delivery'
50:06 <Halcyon> Ahh
59:19 * Halcyon shouts DogWomble some beer (literally)
02:06 <T3sl4> which country https://i.redd.it/b8uprzr4b1021.png
03:59 <DogWomble> all the countries

11:21 <T3sl4> NORway
12:49 <Halcyon> HAH

23:54 <orbii> hugging :o
24:03 * Halcyon pulls orbii into the group hug
24:16 <steve30> I've got a parcel coming today
24:28 <Halcyon> Oooh, do you have a big package Steve?
24:37 <steve30> Might be fairly big :)
25:40 <Halcyon> I'd love to see your big package Steve
25:57 <steve30> I'll take a picture when it arrives
26:05 <Halcyon> With the wrapping off?
26:11 <Halcyon> Or at least, pulled back a little
26:11 <Halcyon> :P
26:15 <steve30> sure
26:17 <Halcyon> YAY
26:25 <Halcyon> </sex_puns>
27:40 * orbii blinks a few times, backs into the corner
28:27 <Halcyon> orbii, I did warn you :P
28:39 <Halcyon> An even though T3sl4 is straight, sometimes I'm not so sure.
28:45 * Halcyon leers at T3sl4 
29:38 <steve30> ooh, my bread maker has finished
29:40 * T3sl4 does a proper queen style wave 
30:32 <Halcyon> I love the smell of fresh bread
30:36 <Halcyon> I should get a bread maker
31:16 <Halcyon> If I ever sell this house, that's my marketing strategy, baking bread, mood lighting and ambient music :P
34:29 <T3sl4> how lazy do you have to be to not make bread without a bread maker
34:45 * T3sl4 ponders the still unused bag of bread flour in his pantry
35:03 <Halcyon> Bread flour makes nice pizza dough
35:30 <Halcyon> Throw some olive oil, dry yeast, sugar and herbs/chilli, let it rise, done.
40:52 <steve30> Halcyon, my uncle and auntie have joined Extinction Rebellion and have been to join in with protests in London.
41:02 <Halcyon> Oh no
41:06 <Halcyon> Really?
41:10 <steve30> yup
41:14 <Halcyon> *palm*
41:23 <steve30> Apparently Auntie Anne got arrested
41:36 <Halcyon> What do they honestly thing disrupting the community will achieve?
41:57 <Halcyon> Good. So they should. In Sydney they tried that crap (blocking traffic, pedestrians etc...) and they got charged.
43:04 <Halcyon> I'm all for protest, but (a) know what the hell you're protesting about and at least have a passing affiliation with some facts, and (b) don't fuck up everyone else who are just trying to go about their day, it only makes you look like a pack of wankers.
43:49 <Halcyon> People will remember Extinction Rebellion for those nutbags who block traffic, as opposed so whatever they are on about. Same as PETA, they aren't taken seriously.
44:00 <Halcyon> *to
51:11 <steve30> I called at the coffee shop earlier. I reckon you'd like the guy who works there.
54:02 <DogWomble> there's a bit of eye candy at the coffee shop i go to here
56:35 <Halcyon> Coffee guys are normally cute
56:45 <Halcyon> It's like bartenders, people keep going back
58:14 <orbii> i like coffee.
59:41 <steve30> He made me a tasty cappuccino :)
00:59 <T3sl4> mmmm, starting to get soupy in here
01:26 <T3sl4> i'm making, er, chicken bacon bean soup with fennel, potato, onion, cabbage...
01:41 <T3sl4> i don't happen to have carrot or celery so the aromatics are a bit off
03:11 <Halcyon> Still sounds delicious T3sl4
03:15 <Halcyon> Chilli?
03:24 <T3sl4> nah, soup
03:26 <Halcyon> Fennel has quite a strong taste
03:32 <T3sl4> chili will be the next pot
03:34 <Halcyon> Yes, but dried chilli in it?
03:43 <Halcyon> I use chilli normally in lieu of salt
03:45 <T3sl4> oh, that chili
03:54 <Halcyon> Yes, not like beef/bean chilli
03:55 <T3sl4> wait, how do you replace salt
04:03 <Halcyon> Well I don't entirely replace it
04:11 <T3sl4> do you mean chili powder
04:19 <Halcyon> But salt is about flavour and I substitute a lot of it with herbs and spice
04:41 <T3sl4> the fennel brings some spice already, because of, well, it's fennel
04:46 <Halcyon> Well, you could use powder I guess, but I find flakes nicer in soups/stews/sauces
04:50 <T3sl4> i put some fennel seed in, too, to boost that
04:56 <T3sl4> pepper flake?
05:22 <T3sl4> https://www.pepperscale.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/crushed-red-pepper_lg-e1442788323409.jpeg
05:32 <Halcyon> https://www.anthonythespicemaker.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/Chili-flakes.jpg
05:48 <Halcyon> Ah yeh, I forget you guys use "pepper" for chilli
06:19 <Halcyon> Pepper to me means peppercorns
06:43 <Halcyon> Either white, red, black or sichuan
06:51 <T3sl4> red chili flake i find is bland and hot
06:57 <T3sl4> not interesting
07:07 <Halcyon> But among all the other flavours of the soup
07:12 <Halcyon> A little heat is nice
07:12 <T3sl4> i did put one jalapeno in, which is silly hot
07:26 <Halcyon> Bah, I have Jalapeno on eggs for brekky
07:30 <Halcyon> It's warm
07:31 <T3sl4> i had a few slices of it on a sandwich yesteday and couldn't even get through that
07:35 <Halcyon> Wouldn't say "silly hot"
08:04 <T3sl4> i finished like three slices (whole slabs, not seeded/veined) before crying uncle and removing the other slices from my sandwich :(
08:30 <Halcyon> Hey orbii, you into Cards Against Humanity?
08:44 <T3sl4> not sure if i've had jalapenos this hot before, but man, it's up there as jalapenos go
09:03 <Halcyon> I've had Jalapenos which are like capsicum, others which have a bit of spank
09:09 <DogWomble> Just make sure they don't burn on the way out
09:15 * DogWomble sings 'Ring of fire"
09:27 <Halcyon> T3sl4, one of these days I'm going to send you a care package
09:32 <Halcyon> It can't all be about Ampera
10:03 <DogWomble> i really need to find a supermarket that has the caramilk chocolate
10:18 <DogWomble> a few of the colleagues brought some in the other day, that stuff is addictive
10:22 <Halcyon> They have tonnes of it here
10:27 <Halcyon> It's on special even for like $2
10:34 <DogWomble> yeah, i haven't seen it here yet, though it has to be somewheree
10:42 <DogWomble> the coles i went to in melbourn didn't have any either
10:50 <Halcyon> I literally walked past a huge stand of it a few hours ago at my local shops
11:42 <DogWomble> damn, i should have asked you to include some when you sent the headphones
11:59 <T3sl4> Halcyon: sure :)
12:03 <Halcyon> Which I still have to do !
12:13 <Halcyon> I packaged them up and they are sitting in the garage
12:20 <DogWomble> :D i should get you to add some caramilk then
12:33 <Halcyon> Yeh no worries, I'll run down the road tomorrow
13:20 <T3sl4> DogWomble: not too worried about things on the way out, seems once i get acclimated to eating spice again, it's better at both ends. I seem to acclimate especially a lot to habanero, it might be ballbusting the first time but like nothing after a few days eating it
13:37 <T3sl4> think last time i made habanero chili i put like half a dozen in there
14:07 <Halcyon> Likewise, on the way out isn't so bad. It's a bit like Deep Heat. It's the stabbing pains in the guts before the output stage that almost kill me
14:15 <Halcyon> But that only happens when I eat chilli to excess
25:46 <T3sl4> heh
25:48 <T3sl4> yeah

11:36 <T3sl4> mmm, this marinated chicken is good despite having been boiled in the soup for several hours
11:42 <T3sl4> retained its flavors
28:47 <Halcyon> Chicken in soup is always a good combo
28:53 <Halcyon> Can we have a pic?
33:06 <steve30> I just had a letter from 'Bus Users'. Apparently they are experiencing unusually high demand, which is why it took them three months to send a canned acknowledgement.
36:36 <Halcyon> Wha?
38:55 <steve30> I'm used to waiting multiple weeks for acknowledgement letter, but 3 months takes the biscuit.
39:28 <Halcyon> What was the letter about though?
41:43 <steve30> It acknowledges the receipt of my letter (which I sent 3 months ago), and apologises for the delay and states that they will deal with it in due course.
42:01 <Halcyon> I see
57:22 * damian wiggles his ass
57:35 <Halcyon> Slut
57:36 <Halcyon> :P
57:53 <DogWomble> I didn't realise this was £Twerkin

00:37 <Halcyon> Sure
00:39 <Halcyon> But it's stupid
00:42 <Halcyon> Hey K
05:10 <steve30> Someone please hurry UPS up. I'd like to go to bed.
11:06 * DogWomble hurries up steve30's uninterruptible power supply
58:58 <steve30> I see British Telecom are consulting on the removal of more telephone boxes
01:15 <K> you still have those?

02:49 <steve30> The proposed removals are in red. Interestingly, some of the ones they want rid of have had several hundred calls made in the last year.
18:30 <steve30> Halcyon, my package arrives :)
