41:01 <hsn993> my altium design very annoying some sheets are A3 and others A4 :)
32:08 <rust_collector> stop making annoying designs?
08:35 <Halcyon> *yawn*
08:53 <rust_collector> I agree
11:54 * Ampera grasps Halcyon firmly
12:53 <K> grab him by the ...
13:06 * Ampera grabs Halcyon by the birdy
13:12 * Ampera proceeds to pet Jerry
21:47 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera
21:48 <Halcyon> :)
21:52 <Ampera> HALCYON
21:56 <Halcyon> Hello friend
21:56 <EEVBlog> Hello there, Halcyon!
22:01 <Ampera> lol
22:03 <Ampera> How are you doing?
22:06 <Halcyon> It's stupid o'clock here and I just got home from work
22:08 <Ampera> I haven't seen you in ages
22:24 <Ampera> oh man, 02:22
22:44 <Halcyon> Yeh I've been busy. I'm seconded to the Police operations centre working on this COVID-19 operation
22:53 <Halcyon> So yeh, it's.... interesting
22:55 <Ampera> rip
22:58 <Ampera> how's that been going
23:04 <Halcyon> *shrug* something different
23:10 <Halcyon> I just wish the hours weren't so shit
23:12 <Ampera> well I meant the operation
23:17 <rust_collector> any infected computers yet?
23:24 <Halcyon> Yeh not bad, heaps to do
23:28 <rust_collector> haaaa haaaaaa haaaaa
23:37 <Halcyon> Terrible rust_collector
23:46 <rust_collector> yes
23:56 <Halcyon> Most of it is logistics in relation to the quarantined people
24:15 <Halcyon> Organising accommodation and transport with Border Force and such
24:25 <Ampera> Halcyon, you have almost nobody counted infected down there
24:32 <Halcyon> I'm like the lowest ranking person in the room, which is a very odd feeling
25:00 <Halcyon> Yeh, in the grand scheme of things, we don't have many confirmed positive cases, but there are many more who are symptomatic and are being tested/quarantined
25:07 <Ampera> >75,000 cases in my state alone
25:25 <Ampera> over 186,000 in the USD in total
25:39 <Ampera> *-D
26:17 <Halcyon> https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html
26:26 <Halcyon> Just under 5000 confirmed
26:31 <Halcyon> In the country
26:43 <Ampera> almost nobody
27:06 <Ampera> in other news my grandfather is in the ICU with pneumonia
27:25 <Halcyon> I think we've seen the peak already if we've had to guess.
27:40 <Halcyon> I think over the coming weeks, the number confirmed will drop week on week
27:50 <Halcyon> Oh no
27:53 <Halcyon> Poor Richard :(
27:55 <Halcyon> Is he OK?
28:05 <Ampera> The good news is he most likely does not have bat soup flu
28:14 <Halcyon> \o/
28:40 <Ampera> He had a malfunctioning renal valve, that much they do know, but it's simply complications with his kidney transplant.
29:21 <hsn993> Ampeeera
29:23 <Halcyon> I hope he gets better soon
29:58 <Ampera> hssssssn
30:03 <hsn993> how r u
30:06 <Ampera> Halcyon, things are looking good so far
30:13 <Halcyon> Good stuff
30:20 <Ampera> hsn993, ech, depressed, depraved, lonely, etc.
30:28 * Halcyon fondles Ampera
30:32 * hsn993 hugs ampera
30:42 <Halcyon> You can add titillated to the list now
31:09 <Ampera> no, not really
31:19 <Halcyon> Dammit
39:02 <steve30> hi Halcyon
39:35 <Halcyon> Hey Steve :)
39:37 <Halcyon> *licks*
40:09 <Halcyon> I should go to bed soon, it's almost 0300 here
40:11 <steve30> Air conditioning man finally got back to me
40:23 <Halcyon> Oh yeh?
41:28 <Halcyon> What was the outcome?
41:34 <steve30> Looking like £4000 to £5000 to do the 3 rooms depending on which type of system we go for.
51:54 <hsn993> bye
53:02 <hsn993> https://snipboard.io/TQ7v0f.jpg
54:01 <Halcyon> So fucking true hsn993
55:24 <steve30> I think I might go and cosy up in bed soon :)
58:36 Join: AndrevS ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
01:03 <Halcyon> Yeh I think it's well and truly my bed time
01:29 <DHess_US> https://twitter.com/ExGeist/status/1245341550365704193
02:24 <Halcyon> DHess_US: I was waiting for someone to jump out or somethign
03:08 <DHess_US> Not that kind of post.
03:10 <DHess_US> Unfortunately.
03:47 <DHess_US> I wasn't able to confirm it though but I assume NYC is trying to control information.
03:56 <Halcyon> Look, the deaths are sad, but I don't see the point of dwelling on them. This isn't the first time this has happened and it won't be the last.
04:42 <DHess_US> It will be the first time it was documented so well.
04:48 <Halcyon> True
05:43 * steve30 wraps Halcyon up in a cosy duvet
06:13 <Halcyon> :)
06:21 <Halcyon> I'm off guys. Goodnight

12:30 <DHess_US> Plus there has been a whole generation since 9/11
14:01 <Ampera> steve30, that's some expensive fucking aircon
14:34 <Ampera> That better be a full split heat pump with backup heater
14:43 <Ampera> For 3 rooms
15:19 <Ampera> Over here that would be a grand tops for window units
24:54 <rust_collector> i do not think window units are used much in england-land
37:41 <coppice_> steve30: is that based on a single large air con, or separate ones for the 3 rooms? Either way, its quite a lot of money, unless you need a lot of work for a complex installation

07:48 <MrMobodies> Hello
43:28 <Lemon> hi peeps
05:16 Join: ThunderSqueak ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
05:16 Mode: (by ChanOP) +o ThunderSqueak
08:59 <Ampera> hi ThunderSqueak how are you doing
09:40 <ThunderSqueak> ok, I am just staying home
09:54 <ThunderSqueak> waiting for a few deliveries
10:20 <Ampera> I discovered that I'm actually getting paid this week and not next week, and as a result I have more money than I know what to do with
10:23 <Ampera> which is weird to me
10:56 <ThunderSqueak> buy supplies
11:01 <Ampera> for what
11:23 <ThunderSqueak> just in case things get bad with infected people <.<
11:33 <Ampera> I already have a ton of food, and have tons of money for food
11:43 <Lemon> buy test equipement !
11:46 <Ampera> and I'm not expecting the world to collapse that hard
11:56 <Lemon> Im looking more and more at a second gpsdo ://///
12:25 <Ampera> I have like 6 cans of corned beef hash, 6 cans of potato, a couple of cans of fruit, a big pot of chicken and rice, the bones from the chicken for soup, a ton of barley, a load of fish and miso, along with soba
12:32 <ThunderSqueak> hmm then buy an analog discovery II and a decent FPGA board and have fun?
13:30 <Ampera> I've never done FPGA stuff, but that's A. jumping the gun in terms of my skills, B. a money pit to add to my pile of money pits
14:06 <Ampera> Because of the newly minted 2T, it's actually a terrible terrible idea to sit on them, and investing it is about as stupid, so I kinda have to spend it too
14:16 <Ampera> *on them -> on it
14:44 <Ampera> though investing in oil might not be a bad idea right now, as prices are at an all time stupid low
25:22 <MrMobodies> I went out for my walk today like I do everyday, brought some newspapers, sat down on a bench and a car approached me.
25:53 <Ampera> hopefully you were luckier than my mom was as a child, and it wasn't a completely naked man asking for directions
26:41 <MrMobodies> Police siren and "We're fining people for this.", I said "I am on my own" "Go home, or walk or I'd have to fine you, sitting down is non essential."
26:58 <Ampera> wow
27:09 <MrMobodies> Yes, they are checking up on people.
27:14 <Ampera> where do you live again?
27:20 <MrMobodies> it was an undecover police officer
27:30 <MrMobodies> Cambrigdeshire, Coates
27:36 <MrMobodies> nice little village
27:52 <Ampera> so he told you off for not having a sitting license
27:53 <Ampera> gg
28:08 <MrMobodies> yes, to do with the corona outbreak
28:41 <MrMobodies> I have read that they also been fining people on they way to buy bikes and easter eggs
28:56 <Ampera> That doesn't go here, so long as you're not congregating, they don't care
29:30 <MrMobodies> I was surprised that they would doing that. Days ago, lots of people on their owbn on the green, doing their own thing.
30:10 <Lemon> its the same here
32:33 <MrMobodies> I am lot better today, I had orange juice and lemons, and my cough has nearly gone.
32:39 <MrMobodies> Now I am going to have some coffee
32:50 <Ampera> heh, coughee
39:05 <MrMobodies> ... sweets
39:07 <ThunderSqueak> there are some pretty big penalties here for violation of the stay at home order
39:11 <MrMobodies> Fudge from devon
39:31 <Ampera> Here the stay at home order applies to employers and employees
39:44 <Ampera> as a general rule you can still go outside, as far as I know there's been no order stating you can't
41:58 <MrMobodies> https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/11286325/cops-patrol-lidl-car-park-and-fine-cyclist/
42:36 <MrMobodies> They say you can go for walks but threaten to fine for none essential things
42:48 <MrMobodies> but the sitting down was essential for my daily walk
42:51 <Ampera> it doesn't even make sense
43:11 <Ampera> fining and talking to you about it is far more dangerous and likely to spread disease than just letting you go on your merry way
43:21 <Ampera> the police in the UK are corrupt as all hell, the entire government is
43:27 <ThunderSqueak> 25,000usd fine and a criminal charge of reckless endangerment
43:51 <MrMobodies> I know of a cough medicine, that helps me not cough. Now they banned that on the NHS to save money, even if I wanted to pay privately through my GP.
44:10 <ThunderSqueak> get an opiate <.<
44:11 <Ampera> ThunderSqueak, what's the condition for violation
44:17 <ThunderSqueak> that will make you not cough
44:19 <ThunderSqueak> XD
44:27 <ThunderSqueak> used to be used for that
44:29 <Ampera> Heroin, the non-addictive cough remedy
45:01 <ThunderSqueak> ampera, being out and not being on the "essential personnel" list
45:08 <ThunderSqueak> we are on full lockdown
45:11 <Ampera> what if you need food
45:14 <Ampera> or medicine
45:17 <MrMobodies> that's interesting... no wonder why old people are taking it for other things than their pain
45:24 <Ampera> or to help an old relative
45:30 <ThunderSqueak> those are on the list
45:44 <ThunderSqueak> as valid reasons for travel
46:04 <MrMobodies> Well they say to self isolate... but when they need medicine, they'd have to get someone to go get it for them.
46:07 <ThunderSqueak> but, if you are constantly being caught "grocery shopping" you get fined apparently
46:28 <ThunderSqueak> not sure how it is being handled tbh
46:31 <MrMobodies> and all the uneaten stuff they throw out
47:38 <MrMobodies> they have limited in my local shop 2 tissue rolls per customer
47:53 <ThunderSqueak> last time I went to the shop there was no TP
48:02 <ThunderSqueak> week ago
48:16 <ThunderSqueak> not a huge deal, just one of those things
48:27 <MrMobodies> they were stocked well on bread today.
48:34 <MrMobodies> it is a little village shop
48:49 <MrMobodies> with a post office in there
49:13 <MrMobodies> but they seem stocked on many things supermarket grade food.
49:35 <MrMobodies> it is run by Indians a bit more expensive but I don't mind.
50:36 <ThunderSqueak> yeah, I went to the smaller grocer last time, almost no one there so it was nice
50:48 <ThunderSqueak> the fred meyers was packed when I drove by there
50:49 <MrMobodies> When I go into the big stores it is so busy, and sometimes they think I am a ghost and try to push trolley through me.
51:09 <ThunderSqueak> fred meyers being the larger grocery store here
51:50 <MrMobodies> Never heard of them before
51:51 <MrMobodies> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Meyer
51:59 <MrMobodies> 1931
52:12 <ThunderSqueak> yeah
53:06 <MrMobodies> In England there is Sainsbury's, Tesco's, Waitrose, Morrison, Co-Op and they sell the same things and under their own different names.
53:14 <ThunderSqueak> yeah
53:57 <MrMobodies> Joke: if you want bright yellow, eggs, really bright and distasteful, like you gone off eggs, go there.
54:47 <MrMobodies> Sometimes they sell a limited range of eggs, organic and the yolks are darker and taste nicer
55:03 <ThunderSqueak> ah
55:29 <MrMobodies> but I have been buying eggs from my neighbours, no chemicals, dark in colour, delicious.
55:47 <MrMobodies> they feed the hens their scrap food
56:01 <ThunderSqueak> ah
56:53 <MrMobodies> I was told by someone years ago who bred hens that they feed the mass ones what he referred to as, "fat pellets"
56:56 <ThunderSqueak> since starting isolation, I have actually lost 10lb
57:17 <MrMobodies> in one way it is a good thing, I am not spending any money at that pub
57:35 <MrMobodies> at witnessing the horrors of people gambling away at those machines
58:13 <ThunderSqueak> hmm
58:41 <MrMobodies> they got some gambling machines there and it makes some become emotional when they loose their money
59:36 <MrMobodies> they have some advice there about gambling addiction
00:11 <MrMobodies> I said to the bar man, if you want to solve this problem, buy the machines outright and make them free. So you don't put in any money and it don't give it any.
03:21 <ThunderSqueak> heh
03:36 <ThunderSqueak> put in arcade cabinets like joust or frogger or qbert instead
07:49 <MrMobodies> Someone put in £60, and they were all proud when they got out £20.
08:21 <MrMobodies> Bar man says but you put in £60" she said "Well, I don't think like that."
08:29 <MrMobodies> that was a couple of months ago
09:20 <MrMobodies> Bell fruit machines with the money slots where the lights around it change colour.
09:58 <MrMobodies> I found a bit funny when they put colour changing leds around the money slots.
11:26 <coppice_> fruit machines - get your 5 a day
12:56 <MrMobodies> An educational doctor use to say a lot "An apple a day keeps the doctor away."
13:16 <MrMobodies> "but you're still here"
15:46 <Ampera> apparently my work gave everyone really really nice yeti mugs
15:59 <Ampera> we made a big deal recently so I guess they're celebrating
19:23 <MrMobodies> the big deal...
19:50 <MrMobodies> a friend I spoke to had to close their company down but he was celebrating at home with cheese and biscuits with red wine.
20:24 <MrMobodies> they are only allowed to dispatch teams for emergency call outs.
21:01 <MrMobodies> but I think he said he wasn't illegable for the 80% bail out from the government.
26:16 <MrMobodies> yeti mugs
26:19 <MrMobodies> https://www.amazon.com/s?k=yeti+mugs
26:32 <MrMobodies> they seem expensive over £20 in the tuk
