06:02:03 * steve30 purrs at T3sl4
06:02:04 <rust_collector> something has happened to the powerlines here, because this blinking lights, and proper power outages were common until the early-mid 90's. but then it was pretty much not a thing, until last year.
06:02:17 * T3sl4 hugs steve30
06:02:39 <T3sl4> rust_collector, could be a tree grew up into some lines in the mean time
06:04:25 <rust_collector> could be, but they have been pretty extreme with their clearing work.
06:06:02 <T3sl4> that's good
06:06:52 <rust_collector> I just have a feeling they changed the "routing" or something. I dunno
06:07:16 <T3sl4> could also be the generally growing load without bringing in adequate capacity
06:07:45 <T3sl4> i'm guessing infrastructure is generally a little better over there than it is here, but that still leaves a lot of room for silly choices
06:08:23 <rust_collector> I believe it is pretty good in this area. but yeah.

08:12:50 <rust_collector> we had waffles for dinner today, and breakfast
08:12:51 <Ysjoelfir> I already filed a complaint
08:12:58 <rust_collector> lunch, and supper
08:12:59 <Ysjoelfir> wasn't the only one that waited hours for nothing
08:13:19 <rust_collector> ok, so something has happened, I guess
08:13:44 <Ysjoelfir> maybe. but they lied to me on the phone
08:13:51 <Ysjoelfir> "oh, your food must be on its way!"
08:14:00 <Ysjoelfir> "all meals are already being delivered"
08:14:25 <Ysjoelfir> and then, suddenly at 21:50: mail: "your delivery was deliverd. have a good meal!"
08:14:42 <rust_collector> mm. perfect
08:14:53 <Ysjoelfir> https://snipboard.io/WIG6S2.jpg for those of you that can read german - the last three reviews

08:16:13 <rust_collector> right.
08:19:07 <rust_collector> so, I am guessing the delivery guy got high, and ate all the stuff, and fell asleep
08:19:59 <Ysjoelfir> That will be the reason, I'Äm sure!

08:50:46 <rust_collector> let me see... where do I start to tell about this adventure I am going on
08:53:31 <rust_collector> first, I drive from my job, to the house next door, and park at some dock, to get loaded. after about 2 hours, I can go get a stack of papers, and go. then drive to oslo, park at a loading dock, deliver papers in an office on the 3rd floor, wait...3-4-5 or so hours, get papers, go back to the first place, deliver papers, unload, then go to work and park up
08:54:37 Join: slo ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
08:55:35 <Ysjoelfir> that sounds like great fun!

09:05:38 <rust_collector> I guess I should make sure the stinkpad is charged, so I have something to do
09:06:12 <Ysjoelfir> that may be a good idea ;)
09:10:08 <rust_collector> looking at an euro coin. that map looks so weird
09:12:40 <Ysjoelfir> what is weird on it?
09:12:57 <rust_collector> it is not like normal maps
09:13:10 <rust_collector> ie missing all the non eu places
09:13:24 <Ysjoelfir> ah^^
09:19:04 Join: slo ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
09:21:12 <rust_collector> ok, what did you end up eating?
09:21:55 <Ysjoelfir> rice
09:22:00 <Ysjoelfir> and a soft boiled egg
09:22:08 <rust_collector> hmm
09:22:42 <rust_collector> it is food, I guess
09:23:46 <Ysjoelfir> i would have prefered my noodles with nice cheese sauce
09:24:32 <rust_collector> now I am wondering if I should cook some rice

09:29:32 <T3sl4> or, i guess you kinda did that already
09:29:46 <T3sl4> i did just make butterscotch chip cookies tho

11:08:55 <Ampera> I thought you were going to cymru for a week
11:09:22 <Halcyon_Work> Yeh I'm here now, I got bored so decided to jump on
11:09:30 * steve30 hugs Halcyon_Work
11:09:53 <Ampera> I'm getting sick of shaving. It always comes out like crap
11:10:01 <Ampera> I think I'm going to buy some wax and wax my face
11:10:21 <rust_collector> oh, I want a video of that
11:10:26 <steve30> Does that work well? I've never thought to wax my face
11:10:33 <Ampera> steve30, how would I know
11:10:37 <steve30> Sounds like it might be painful
11:10:42 <Ampera> It will be.
11:11:12 <Halcyon_Work> Yeh not sure how well that would work. Maybe you need a new razor?
11:11:16 <Ampera> but my face is bleeding like nuts now anyways
11:11:20 <Halcyon_Work> I shave in the shower, I find it easier
11:11:21 <Ampera> Halcyon_Work, it's almost a brand new razor
11:11:44 <Ampera> I've used shaving creams/foams, different temperatures of water
11:11:51 <Ampera> it always irritates the crap out of my face
11:12:02 <rust_collector> I once wrapped the sticky insect trapping paper around my cousins face, but I do not think he had any hair before that either
11:12:20 <Ampera> so if I can just rip it all out and be done for a month or two, I'm game.
11:12:30 <Ampera> Cheaper than laser or electrolysis
11:13:20 <Ampera> though I think I might save money for that anyways, if I can nuke my beard forever, I'd be fine with it
11:14:37 <rust_collector> heh, I think it was electroboom that used lighter fluid... that is cheap. just do not breathe it in, while it is burning
11:15:03 <Ampera> I think it's safe to say, trying anything that electroboom does at home is a retarded idea
11:22:02 <Halcyon_Work> Hahaha

18:13:56 <Ysjoelfir> It's so funny how all those people with their hypermodern car with lane tracking, steering assist and what do I know don't manage to stay on the road when there is a little bit of wind... :D

19:43:39 <Lemon> hello bois
19:44:31 <Ysjoelfir> Hi mister Kumquat
19:44:45 <Lemon> hooo a kumquat
19:44:49 <Lemon> isnt that a small fruit ?
19:45:06 <Lemon> looks like a small lemon/orange :>
19:45:16 <Ysjoelfir> yes. it's... some kind of miniature orange. tastes most of the time horrible, but sometimes realy great
19:45:31 <Lemon> isnt it more for decoration, on christmas meals ?
19:46:21 <Ysjoelfir> I was told that you can eat it. It DOES taste nice, if you want something tangy, bitter-ish. But for eating it like I would eat any other fruit... I don't know, it's not my taste
19:46:43 <Lemon> yeah not mine either, its kinda hard
19:46:47 <Lemon> I have bad news
19:46:58 <Lemon> you remember, I had a cat that was found skinny
19:47:06 <Ysjoelfir> yes
19:47:07 <Lemon> and she had a cancer according to the vet
19:47:12 <Lemon> today, she refuses to eat
19:47:21 <Ysjoelfir> aw, thats sad :(
19:47:29 <Lemon> and she got no strengh at all :/
19:47:36 <Lemon> I fear its the end
19:47:48 <Ysjoelfir> poor thing :( but hey, it had some nice time with you :)
19:48:03 <Lemon> yes thats true !

22:37:35 <Ysjoelfir> hi hsn
22:37:56 <hsn> hi Ysjoelfir
22:38:01 <hsn> how is it going
22:38:29 <Ysjoelfir> ok-ish i would say
22:38:39 <Ysjoelfir> thinking about building a rotary converter
22:39:06 <hsn> how big ?
22:39:33 <hsn> https://snipboard.io/uIXM5B.jpg
22:39:34 <hsn> :D
22:39:36 <Ysjoelfir> which part do you want to know the.... bigness... off?
22:39:48 <Ysjoelfir> not that big, no
22:40:58 <hsn> huh never know this thing exist ..
22:41:22 <hsn> is it still being designed / produced?
22:41:42 <hsn> AC to DC synchronous rotary converters were made obsolete
22:41:46 <Ysjoelfir> I thought about using a 10kW 3 phase motor to get around 4kW of 3~ power output
22:42:04 <Ysjoelfir> nah. I am talking about AC to AC3~ conversion
22:43:54 <Ysjoelfir> to run 3 phase appliances from the single phase ac line
22:46:39 <Ampera> Z-bruh
22:47:07 <Ysjoelfir> zbruh? isn't that some kind of monkey?
22:48:08 <hsn> zbrush is 3d modeling software ?
22:48:43 <Ampera> the best poetry is that whose meaning has no one valid interpretation
22:49:31 <hsn> Ysjoelfir u have bachlor of electrical engineering?
22:49:37 <Ampera> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/310478241989263371/676394309465145345/2020-02-08.png
22:49:39 <Ampera> cat time
22:50:07 <hsn> whats that wierd hand poster
22:50:40 <Ysjoelfir> Not yet. I gave my bachelors thesis to the professor today. When it's done I will be... Bachelor of engineering I guess. Or .. of science. don't ask me why.
22:50:45 <Ampera> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_with_Reflecting_Sphere
22:50:46 <Ysjoelfir> oooh, a kitty :)
22:51:45 * Ysjoelfir puts some eggs into his ramen...ses
22:51:51 Join: MrMobodies ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
22:51:57 <Ampera> ses?
22:52:12 <Ysjoelfir> what is the plural of ramen? ramens? rami? ramenses?
22:52:29 <Ampera> ramen is a singular and plural word
22:52:34 <Ysjoelfir> I like to use *ses if I don't know the plural form
22:52:36 <Ysjoelfir> oh
22:52:36 <Ampera> moreso because it's a concept rather than a specific item
22:52:37 <Ysjoelfir> thats to easy
22:52:56 <Ampera> if you're talking about multiple distinct sorts of ramen, it would be ramens
22:53:07 <Ampera> as in, I had a sampling of the various ramens they had available on their menu
22:53:19 <Ysjoelfir> I am more talking about two packs of ramen in my bowl^^
22:53:22 <Ampera> otherwise it's a large bowl of ramen, or several bowls of ramen.
22:53:46 <Ampera> in general, Japanese words do not have plural forms, as the language doesn't.
22:54:01 <Ysjoelfir> oh, i didn't know that!
22:54:10 <hsn> yet u know more than a lot of master degree holders ? :P
22:54:11 <Ysjoelfir> I love to learn about things like that :)
22:54:22 <Ysjoelfir> thats not untypical around here, hsn
22:54:23 <Ampera> Linguistics is a side hobby of mine, not that I'm particularly well versed in it.
22:54:55 <Ampera> yet it was just now that I found out untypical is a word
22:55:14 <Ysjoelfir> you should start learning norsk (bokmal). Then you could talk to rust_collector :)
22:55:16 <coppice_> ramen is not Japanese. Its the Japanese pronounciation of a Chinese term
22:55:37 <hsn> narutu
22:55:48 <hsn> loves ramen
22:55:53 <Ampera> coppice_, Chinese doesn't have plurals either afaik
22:56:04 <hsn> and i only know it from that anime
22:56:13 <hsn> wtf, how they plure things ? :D
22:56:14 <Ysjoelfir> everyone loves ramen, hsn!
22:56:20 <Ampera> ramen is gay
22:56:32 <Ampera> anyone who argues against that is doublegay
22:56:42 <hsn> i only know it from (anime) :D
22:56:42 <Ysjoelfir> that's ok. a bit of gay-ness isn't to bad
22:56:48 <hsn> double gay would be straight ?
22:57:24 <coppice_> Ampera: correct. Chinese only has plural forms in a few special cases, like pronouns
22:57:43 <Ampera> at least I can get one thing correct
22:57:56 <Ampera> hsn, no it's just twice as gay
22:58:13 <Ampera> 2 * gay != gay + -gay
22:58:26 <hsn> oh mine was (gay ^ gay)
22:58:44 <hsn> gay^2 ****
22:58:51 <Ampera> that's the square of gay, which is just forever how much gay a person is, multiply that by that same quantity
22:59:00 <Ampera> so if Ysjoelfir is 2gay, he would be 4gay
22:59:09 <Ysjoelfir> xD
22:59:32 <hsn> give me of what you drink today ..
22:59:34 <Ampera> er no, that's not how exponents work
22:59:43 <hsn> :D
22:59:46 <Ampera> It's 7am
23:00:15 <Ampera> it would be for however much someone is gay, multiply that by the same quantity the number of that quantity times.
23:00:41 <Ampera> as in gay ^ gay when gay = 4 would by gay * gay * gay * gay
23:00:42 <Ampera> I think
23:01:40 <hsn> nah u cant stop
23:01:59 <Ampera> can't stop the gay, the gay will stop you
23:02:07 <hsn> oh u assumed gay= 4
23:02:40 <Ampera> well gay in reality is an unknown quantity, we don't know how gay gay is.
23:02:43 <Ampera> which is pretty gay ngl
23:03:11 <hsn> is gay quantity or vector ?
23:03:28 <K> it is a complex issue
23:03:43 <Ampera> gay isn't an issue nor is it complex
23:03:59 <Ampera> gay is a quantity and a vector, both at the same time
23:04:05 <hsn> When the FBI had too many fingerprints in storage | The mathematics of image compression ::: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRjFwTbJfes
23:04:06 <K> a complex vector
23:04:33 <Ampera> I've thought about trying to make a quadratic texture mapper
23:04:47 <Ampera> the math (to me) might be simpler than triangle or ray based rendering
23:05:13 <K> gay based rendering?
23:05:27 <K> (anyone?)
23:05:37 <hsn> GBR ^
23:05:40 <Ampera> Roy G. Biv would like to have a word with you, K
23:06:17 <K> oh noes.
23:06:22 <hsn> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering << GBR gay pixels
23:07:38 <Ampera> Not a fan of subpixel rendering, it makes me feel like the screen's on acid
23:08:50 <coppice_> subpixel rendering done well is good. subpixel rendering done poorly is much worse than useless
23:10:30 <Ampera> Windows does it pretty shit imo
23:11:30 <hsn> still ?
23:11:58 <Ampera> Idk I haven't really used Windows for a while. I have it at work, but I'
23:12:05 <Ampera> m more focus on work than the text
23:16:57 <hsn> its not that bad
23:16:58 <hsn> https://snipboard.io/twZ7Xb.jpg
23:19:17 <coppice_> A lot of machines have cleartext wrongly configured, which makes things worse instead of better
23:20:41 <Ysjoelfir> how should it be configured coppice_?
23:21:43 <coppice_> It needs configuring for the pixel layout of the screen you are using
23:22:04 <Ysjoelfir> how do you achieve that?
23:22:37 <coppice_> its somewhere in the windows settings for the display
23:28:12 <DHess_US> The cats have a nice bed. Where do you sleep?
23:28:54 <hsn> i tried to look for it didnt see, but i've seen it before ..
23:29:10 <DHess_US> Windows has a utility which shows text examples using different cleartext layouts so you can pick the one which looks correct.
23:29:49 <DHess_US> In theory it should be able to know the pixel pattern from the monitor detection.
23:30:08 <DHess_US> Hmm, Cleartext can't hadle multiple monitors ...
23:30:40 <coppice_> monitor detection is really hit and miss
23:31:07 <DHess_US> And I wouldn't count on the database of pattern versus monitor make/model being correct anyway.
23:31:35 <DHess_US> Going to run a test later today to see if Windows 10 supports 4k storage devices.
23:31:49 <DHess_US> Windows XP does.
23:34:45 <MrMobodies> Hello, just had a powercut last night for about 3 hours
23:35:12 <MrMobodies> They estimated it would be fixed by 3pm today but I think it went back on at about 2am
23:35:24 <DHess_US> They cut the power? How can they cut the power? They're animals!
23:35:34 <MrMobodies> and it seems to have affected a lot places during the storm
23:35:44 <DHess_US> what kind of storm?
23:35:50 <MrMobodies> I like that joke
23:35:57 <MrMobodies> it blew a tree of a stalk yesterday
23:36:22 <DHess_US> What did? LIghtning?
23:37:18 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/m9JGTq8.jpg
23:37:31 <DHess_US> I'm outside St. Louis and we lose power 2 or 3 times a year. During an ice storm, it was out for almost a week.
23:37:35 <MrMobodies> I am not sure about lightening but I heard a crack and everything stopped
23:38:03 <MrMobodies> it was a quite nice, the moon was out and lit the whole village but
23:38:18 <hsn> not its more complicated than lighting .. lighting can be suppressed by tvs diode :) .. this is storm .. mechanical stuff ..
23:38:52 <MrMobodies> I see
23:39:25 <MrMobodies> when I reported to the UK Power network it was an overhead line
23:39:31 <MrMobodies> they were falling down
23:39:51 <MrMobodies> many of them are held up by wood
23:40:09 <hsn> oh man
23:40:10 <MrMobodies> I did notice some were about fall down months ago on the country roads
23:40:20 <Ampera> lol underground power
23:40:24 <Ampera> wish we had that shit
23:40:26 <hsn> these things which carry 11kV ?
23:40:31 <hsn> are falling ?
23:40:35 <Ampera> all the time
23:40:38 <MrMobodies> I think they can carry 40kv some of them
23:40:51 <MrMobodies> They were learning over I mean
23:40:58 <Ampera> do a google street view of some medium-population place in New York. Pick a major road.
23:41:01 <hsn> does wires get cut and hit the ground when they fall ?
23:41:03 <Ampera> (Not NYC)
23:41:16 <MrMobodies> I don't know they said some fell over
23:41:24 <K> "the skies are falling" have alltogether different meaning then
23:41:33 <MrMobodies> I was told that they find it easier to fix overhead lines than underground
23:41:41 <MrMobodies> where they have to trace and dig
23:42:00 <MrMobodies> but most like overheadlines are going to get blown over in this kind of wind
23:42:15 <K> wind can't damage underground lines though
23:42:28 <K> only a dumbass with a backhoe
23:42:30 <MrMobodies> no, that is the nice thing
23:42:32 <MrMobodies> and telephone lines
23:43:06 <MrMobodies> but then they can knock over telephone posts like they did when I moved here
23:43:34 <MrMobodies> and they dig a manhole and put them in the waterproof enclosures that can sometimes leak.
23:45:46 <MrMobodies> I don't have any overhead lines it is just the country roads serving the village that have them
