02:21 <rust_collector> coffee??
02:39 <K> nein.
05:10 <rust_collector> so, i fucked up again
05:14 <rust_collector> again
05:35 <rust_collector> now I own an ex postal van
05:57 <Ysjoelfir> So you basically took your work home?
06:11 <rust_collector> I took it back, yes
06:36 <rust_collector> well, it is a van, not a truck, so it feels nice and sporty
06:46 <rust_collector> eeh, well, no, it doesn't
06:52 <rust_collector> it is a hiace
07:50 <Ysjoelfir> nice, I always liked those
08:02 <rust_collector> it had no problems doing 140, even with the slightly slipping clutch
08:17 <Ysjoelfir> (you have hiaces as post vans? oO I thought those are only somewhere down south popular)
09:13 <rust_collector> nah, we used to have them, from the 80's until 2005 or something, they stopped importing them, because they could not meet emissions stuff
10:36 <Ysjoelfir> "emissions".... I heard of that. isn't that this mysterious thing governments around the world try to force car makers to do to stop you from building great cars?
10:43 <rust_collector> so, now we have loads of everything. the pug partner /expert, sprinters, transits, renault trafic and master,
11:09 <rust_collector> that is the thing
12:11 <rust_collector> well, it does not seem to be very forceful, as a new truck pollute less than 5-6-7 new cars. it is interesting, that it is not so important to make the cars clean
12:43 <Ysjoelfir> but the fine dust from those bad diesels!!!11111one
13:19 <rust_collector> there is no dust to speak of after a truck, with a particle filter. the air is cleaner after you drive thru an area, than it was before
13:51 <rust_collector> sure, we tear up the road, and make other kinds of dust
14:21 <rust_collector> which is also interesting, because I still have not found a rutted road, that my truck would fit in
15:41 <K> pics or it didn't happen.
16:35 <Ysjoelfir> I know, but don't tell that those politicians :P Also, what K said
18:51 <rust_collector> LALALALALALALAAAALALAAAAA
20:52 <rust_collector> https://imgur.com/a/e4V0Ogk
21:13 <rust_collector> you only get one, for now. and yes, I have started to cut it apart already
21:42 <Ysjoelfir> cute. I like those bubbly looking things
22:06 <K> those things on roof look rusted already
22:15 <rust_collector> it is pretty handy, if she who really bought it wants it, I will just keep it
22:15 <Ysjoelfir> remember who it belongs to now
22:43 <rust_collector> yes, it is not mine-mine. I will hopefully only own it for a few days
23:31 <rust_collector> what do you mean already? that thing should have been scrapped 10 years ago
26:02 <rust_collector> I do wonder why it has that white dot on the bumper
29:04 <rust_collector> the guy I bought it from was interesting. he could not take city life any more, and moved to a tiny cottage on some mountain. After a few years, he moved to his parents, until he found the place we were at, in the middle of nowhere, in the forest, where he was carcing figures out of wood, mostly with a chainsaw
29:52 <rust_collector> so he had a bunch of big wooden crows, and people, and random other figures around in the woods
31:19 <rust_collector> well, I have to go shred that van, and see what I am left with
31:29 <Ysjoelfir> thats cool. I would love to live in a cottage somewhere in a wood
31:40 <Ysjoelfir> xD have fun and remember the pics!
31:49 <Ysjoelfir> I'm off home now, too. cu later :)
31:54 <rust_collector> the one he was in now, was almost like a small house.
32:00 <rust_collector> laterz

08:13 * Ampera squeezes Lemon 
08:19 <rust_collector> yaay! hooome
08:29 <rust_collector> you can hide weed in there
10:10 <rust_collector> hmm, wife is being easy today. I sent her to town to buy steel, a panel hammer, and an angle grinder.... "ok"
10:56 <Ampera> rust_collector, to change that ask her to pick up a glass hammer, a bucket of steam, and some blinker fluid while she's at it
11:23 <rust_collector> well, I do not need those
11:29 <Ampera> darn.
11:38 <rust_collector> and I am worried she would find that in some random store

12:19 Join: Beni ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
12:29 <K> a risk she'll bring home a 50 ton steam hammer
13:06 <rust_collector> that would not be a problem. I would love having one
13:26 <Ampera> would you love paying for one?
13:27 <rust_collector> i think even mom would approve that
13:49 <rust_collector> steam hammers are things you get for scrap weight
14:16 <rust_collector> I could hook it up to an old alarm clock. that would be efficient
15:31 <rust_collector> IT IS 6!!! BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM
15:33 <K> crack some nuts
16:35 <Ampera> I've been in the nutcracker before
16:46 <Ampera> might explain my androgynous nature.
17:07 <Ampera> Twice actually, once as a gingerbread boy, and once as a party boy.
30:16 <K> not much of a boy after that, eh
30:40 <T3sl4> https://i.imgur.com/dvmZdib.jpg
31:22 <K> does this qualify as 'dad-joke'?
32:40 <DHess_US> Oh, wow. That's a good one.
32:46 <DHess_US> Stealing that.
36:26 <hsn> Ampera
36:40 <Ampera> hsn,
36:43 <hsn> hi
36:57 <hsn> the bot, is it znc module ?
37:03 <Ampera> EEVBot?
37:06 <hsn> yes
37:08 <Ampera> No it's a Java application running on my server
37:18 <Ampera> it's completely separate to the ZNC
37:26 <Ampera> that being said, making the bot a ZNC module is not a bad idea
37:50 <hsn> i guess .. what znc modules are made from c++ also ?
38:26 <Ampera> No clue, I've never made one
38:42 <Ampera> but presumably there's some headers or something for it
38:53 <hsn> modpython
38:53 <hsn> Allows you to use modules written on Python.
38:58 <Ampera> and since ZNC is written in C++ presumably yeah
39:03 <Ampera> blech, python
39:15 <hsn> modperl
39:15 <hsn> Loads Perl scripts as ZNC modules.
39:26 <Ampera> don't think I've used Perl proper
39:32 <Ampera> at least not in a long time
39:53 <hsn> https://wiki.znc.in/Modpython
40:01 <hsn> i never did
40:09 <hsn> so im longer than u
41:02 <K> pics or it didn't happen!
41:14 * Ampera sends K pictures of his pearls
42:29 <K> oh deary me
43:42 * hsn = Ampera++;
44:13 <hsn> wait no thats wrong ..
44:19 * hsn = Ampera+1;
44:27 <Ampera> &hsn = 0
44:40 <Ampera> now begone, null pointer boy
45:03 <K> i did !write/!read bot in rust
45:21 <K> rust is nice.
45:24 * Ampera throws K's bot at rust_collector 
45:29 <Ampera> I'll stick to C and C++
45:32 <Ampera> and Java when I'm lazy
48:41 <K> java is nice too.

03:28 <Ysjoelfir> So, hsn is now gone and we have more amperas than before? also, T3sl4, I like that Tom-om pic :D and I like the bouncer thing.
10:06 <Ysjoelfir> so, is that resistor sorting Lemon guy still here?
18:35 <T3sl4> Lots of floofs https://imgur.com/gallery/Vb1riVy
20:12 <hsn> ysjoelfir , more ampera than before? bcz im not borring him with my disconnects? 😁
20:35 <Ampera> wha?
20:39 <Ampera> I am confused
20:42 <Ampera> stop confusing me or I get banny
21:05 <hsn> t3sl4 r these ur pets?
21:10 <T3sl4> no
21:24 <hsn> u r flloofy
22:00 <hsn> ampera, im also confused
22:06 * T3sl4 floofs Ampera
22:13 <Ampera> hsn, isn't being confused illegal in your country?
22:25 * Ampera is thusly floofed
23:56 <hsn> ampera, being confused it typical behaviour here as nothing make sense .. but in certain things its illegal
24:43 <hsn> for example u cant be confused about how "so good" , "generous" the royal family is
25:05 <Ampera> yeah but can you be confused as to where you want to stick your instrument?
25:25 <hsn> not really ..
25:26 <Ampera> if you catch my cold
25:28 <Ampera> neat
25:28 <Ysjoelfir> Ampera / hsn - I was refering to... wait
25:41 <Ysjoelfir> [17:43:41] * hsn = Ampera++;
25:42 <Ysjoelfir> [17:44:12] wait no thats wrong ..
25:42 <Ysjoelfir> [17:44:17] * hsn = Ampera+1;
25:42 <Ysjoelfir> [17:44:26] <Ampera> &hsn = 0
25:42 <Ysjoelfir> [17:44:39] now begone, null pointer boy
25:44 * Ampera throws a sweet italian sausage at Ysjoelfir 
25:54 * T3sl4 dereferences Ampera, causing a crash
25:54 <Ampera> oh
26:03 <Ysjoelfir> SWEET sausages? wtf is that supposed to be :D
26:08 <Ampera> they taste sweet
26:18 <Ysjoelfir> who could have guessed?=
26:20 <Ampera> they actually do, at least these, but in general it's as opposed to spicy
26:34 <Ysjoelfir> oh, ok. thats better :D
28:12 <Ampera> Ysjoelfir, I went to a more upmarket store than I normally go to (in other words, not Aldi), so I ended up paying 5USD/lb for sausage
28:20 <Ampera> which is insanely expensive, but these are fucking stellar sausages
28:41 <Ampera> for contrast I usually pay around 3 USD for 1.3lbs of frozen sausages at Aldi
28:56 <Ampera> and I can have bratwurst, beer bratwurst, hot, and sweet italian sausages

41:37 <rust_collector> I think I have to stop doing things, because I almost feel productive-ish
44:32 <Ysjoelfir> eww!
45:18 <rust_collector> yes
46:32 <rust_collector> well, s-wmb-so says I am colorblind... but... now I know she is as well
48:00 <rust_collector> so, wife came back with a panel hammer, the wrong grinder, and ultra-bright red paint, and a sheet of steel
48:08 <rust_collector> I guess it is close enough
52:31 <Ysjoelfir> XD
53:09 <rust_collector> so, they were out of 0.7mm sheets.... I do not like that
53:34 <Ysjoelfir> thats because corona
53:39 <rust_collector> probably
53:40 <Ysjoelfir> people start building reinforced walls
53:54 <rust_collector> well, then why did they have 0.9?
54:02 <rust_collector> (one sheet)
54:25 <rust_collector> they did have a lot of 2mm. which would be too much like a workout
55:45 <Ysjoelfir> erm.... better to have multiple layers of thin sheets than one thick one! ask opel! nothing better than puff pastry steel!
56:34 <rust_collector> oh, you mean mercedes 123?
56:49 <Ysjoelfir> did they do that there, too?
56:57 <rust_collector> 4 layers
57:05 <Ysjoelfir> eww o.o
57:52 <rust_collector> the difference is that opel probably did use puff pastry for the inner layers
07:07 <Ysjoelfir> xD
53:05 <T3sl4> merce deez nutz
18:37 * hsn scratches rusty layers
35:06 <rust_collector> mmmmmmm
07:34 <rust_collector> ok, enough cut&paste stuff in the van for today.
07:44 <Ysjoelfir> so, what did you do to it?
07:52 <Ysjoelfir> is it now a coffee racer?
32:40 <rust_collector> yep
32:48 <rust_collector> with swimmingpool
33:01 <rust_collector> inflatable palm tree and all
34:32 <rust_collector> I cut out the crusty bit behind the rear wheel, and wheel arch, and made most of the inner arch piece, so tomorrow is mostly the outer skin, and a bit at the back, behind the bumper
34:48 <rust_collector> then... do it all over, on the other side
35:12 <Ysjoelfir> yaaay!
35:33 Quit: PsySc0rpi0n ([email protected]) Quit: leaving
36:13 <rust_collector> but, that, a piece at the bottom of the b pillar, and maybe the door, if I want to, and that looks like all the rusty stuff.
36:51 <rust_collector> then, it needs a clutch, and... it should be ready for its test
37:04 <rust_collector> oh, maybe adjust the rear brakes
37:21 <rust_collector> they are probably fine, but they grab waaay down
39:58 <Ysjoelfir> and for whom is that thing actually? you said you didn't get it for yourself but for someone?
40:33 <rust_collector> it is for wifes friend. it is a little bit complicated
42:09 <rust_collector> she left this guy, but guy does not leave her alone, and now she wants to move down here, but she needs a working car, because guy keeps buying cars, then not fixing simple things, so she can not leave, and... stuff. they live on an island waaaay up north
44:36 <rust_collector> so, today, we bought this thing, he got upset, she left again, he threatened to go to the police, because it was his money, then she threatened to tell the "nav" social service people that he already stole her car, and also the money blahblah... I bet they have a funny relationship
45:29 <rust_collector> but... it is ok, if she ends up not wanting it, I can keep it
47:11 <rust_collector> I do sort of like it, even if it is that quirky 4wd model
48:41 <rust_collector> and, just for fun, i wiped off 1/4 of the door, and a square on the rear side, and it will polish up ok-ish
49:37 <rust_collector> "boat cleaner" i am not sure where I got that, but it does seem to work ok

50:40 <Ysjoelfir> yikes. that sounds.... "great" :S
51:03 <rust_collector> oh yes
52:05 <rust_collector> well, the thing is that she has been looking at a million vans, for a few months now. so today we just went and got this one. she just has to deal with it, lol
55:40 <rust_collector> https://www.finn.no/car/used/ad.html?finnkode=178669578
58:35 <Ysjoelfir> that thing actually looks pretty ok-ish?
58:48 <Ysjoelfir> I'm curious what you will do with it :)
58:57 <rust_collector> yeah, it is not really bad
59:30 <rust_collector> well, I will put metal where the holes are, and... get it tested... and.. whatever
00:19 <rust_collector> I do have a feeling I will do an egr delete on it, cleaning the egr does not look fun in there
00:54 <Ysjoelfir> when I was in norgi I got the impression that the regulations for cars are way less strict than they are here, could that be the case?
00:57 <Ysjoelfir> *norge
01:15 <rust_collector> uuuh... well... sort of kinda
02:21 <rust_collector> it is much easier to get a 745 with a turbocharged ls approved, than it would be down there
03:33 <rust_collector> or a blown smallblock chevy in an early 70s kadett
05:05 <rust_collector> I am still waiting for the tesla swapped nissan micra and that sort of thing
05:37 <Ysjoelfir> hehe
06:09 <Ysjoelfir> I mean, you wouldn't even think about eg. building an exhaust yourself... won't happen. and is pretty expensive if you get caught
06:26 <rust_collector> yeah, that is just stupid
07:35 <rust_collector> just flood them with documentation, on the 4" pipe you found in a refinery or something.
08:09 <Ysjoelfir> I have a 1:1 replication stainless exhaust under my volvo. the inspection guy was like "but thats not orijinaaaaaaal!" - "well, what do you prefer? an original one that is dead in half a year or a identical replication in rust free steel?" - "but there is no number stamped in it, I can't even check it, it could be way to loud or the environmental parameters could be worse!" - "with a original catalytic converter, lambda regulation and
08:10 <Ysjoelfir> electronic exhaust analysis?" - "YES!" ....
08:24 <Ysjoelfir> had to go through 3 inspections until one accepted it ._.
08:55 <rust_collector> good, because stainless does sound different
09:06 <Ysjoelfir> sure. but not louder
09:29 <Ysjoelfir> its actually more silent than my old one where the end tube fell off, taking all the wool from the rear silencer with it...
10:06 <rust_collector> go for the japan style, with pipes like a peacock out the back
10:57 <rust_collector> or, leave the original in, plug both ends with plastic plugs, and run the exhaust out of a hole in the hood
11:27 <rust_collector> it will last ok
11:27 <Ysjoelfir> xD
12:25 <Ysjoelfir> I actually would like one of those... you know, the style of exhaust an old long nose truck has. two big pipes with the silencers half way up, surrounded by a heatshield, and that funny flapping weather protection caps on the top
14:24 <rust_collector> uhm, ok
15:09 <rust_collector> we do call the volvos tractors, but.. I think going for the flapper things is a bit much
15:18 <Ysjoelfir> XD
15:26 <rust_collector> they do make nice noise at idle
15:55 <Ysjoelfir> speaking of tractors... I would love to have a lanz bulldog one day. the variety that can go like ultra low idle.
15:58 <rust_collector> like a bucket of bolts in a clothes dryer
16:05 <Ysjoelfir> lol
16:25 <rust_collector> heh, yes. but you have to get up early, to heat it up
16:32 <Ysjoelfir> yeah
16:52 <rust_collector> why not go all the way, and get a steam tractor?
17:29 <Ysjoelfir> that would also be pretty cool. or one of those steam trucks. but I think a Bulldog is a good mix between "actually usefull" and "just cool"
17:43 <rust_collector> eh. ok
18:00 <Ysjoelfir> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_wagon#/media/File:Super_sentinel_waggon_DX_9048.JPG
18:05 <Ysjoelfir> that would be a funny thing
18:23 <rust_collector> well, I would hate to get that thing tested in germany
18:29 <Ysjoelfir> xD
18:43 <rust_collector> but, it does run pretty good
18:45 <Ysjoelfir> I'm pretty sure the engineers would be happy to see such a thing once in a lifetime
18:55 <rust_collector> sure
20:01 <coppice> Ysjoelfir: the super sentinel is a fun machine to play with. My father's first job was modifying those for special applications
20:31 <Ysjoelfir> nice :) I love old stuff like that
21:34 <rust_collector> do you think swmbo would enjoy throwing coal in the fire, on your vacation trips?
21:47 <Ysjoelfir> I'm very sure she won't
22:00 <rust_collector> ok, so she would be driving then?
22:09 <Ysjoelfir> nope, doens't have a licence
22:30 <rust_collector> are you sure there is a license that cover that thing in germanistan?
22:52 <Ysjoelfir> in germanistan there is a license for EVERYTHING
23:05 <rust_collector> I mean... laws and rules, they are fun.
23:29 <Ysjoelfir> yep, there would be one actualls
23:33 <coppice> Ysjoelfir: are there lots of steam engine events in .de?
24:06 <Ysjoelfir> it would be either class L or class T. "pulling machine with speeds up to 40 km/h (L) or 60 km/h (T).
24:19 <Ysjoelfir> coppice - I haven't seen one in person ever. so... I don't think so
24:36 <rust_collector> I remember asking if we could haul explosives with a mule and waggon. and he did not see a problem with that, but the law says it has to be diesel powered, so they had to make a note in the book
24:47 <rust_collector> someone got a lot of work out of that
24:51 <Ysjoelfir> XD
25:08 <coppice> Ysjoelfir: in the summer in the UK there are lots of them. You will see numerous steam trunks, and many traction engines of various sizes
25:16 <coppice> steam trucks
25:52 <rust_collector> but that thing has a load bed, it is not a tractor
26:09 <Ysjoelfir> good to know, we actually want to go on vacation somewhere this year, either UK or northern germany. depending on which of our friends wants to tag along.
26:21 <Ysjoelfir> rusty - thats no problem. its not only for tractors.
26:29 <rust_collector> I know they register things as "road locomotive" in england.
26:56 <coppice> That picture is a steam truck. They were common until the late 1930s, and then faded away as high torque diesels took over
26:57 <Ysjoelfir> its also for "self driving work machines" with the same speeds.
27:45 <rust_collector> yes, but that is a truck, not a crane or anything else
28:32 <coppice> A road locomotive is a traction engine like http://eastanglianlife.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/Empres.jpg . Those were used for many things, like farm work, and pulling freight trucks along roads
29:13 <rust_collector> I just noticed a lot of the old zil 131 russian army trucks get registered as that, for some reason
29:59 <rust_collector> well, good night
30:26 <Ysjoelfir> gn8 rusty :)
31:36 <rust_collector> you should go to england, and look (and listen) at the old gardner diesels. they are just pretty things
34:55 <Ysjoelfir> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PpuNENmmBU right now I enjoy this thing xD
41:14 <Ysjoelfir> I'm off to bed. gn8 all

49:22 <Halcyon> The panic-buying of toilet paper has started again... for no reason at all.
49:28 <photonmagic> that is everywhere man
49:52 <Halcyon> It's insane. They saw a small handful of cases in a very small area and all of a sudden people go stupid.
50:09 <photonmagic> i still dont understand the toilet paper deal
50:21 <Halcyon> No, I don't get it either. Do they plan to eat it or.... ?
50:44 <photonmagic> i dunno! lol its not like getting corona makes u sh*t lol
51:18 <Halcyon> Even if it did, can people honestly not think of another way to clean their own ass? I mean, toilet paper in itself is only a stop-gap... you still have to wash.
51:45 <photonmagic> indeed, its one odd thing ppl are doing for sure
52:05 <photonmagic> and the price gouging on everything is WOW
52:49 <Halcyon> We haven't seen that here
52:57 <Halcyon> Everything is priced the same as it always was
54:10 <photonmagic> hmm , ive been trying to look for parts after a recent psu failure an everything seems almost double
54:39 <photonmagic> mobo - 31$ , used to be 15
55:17 <photonmagic> power supply, i had a 750corsair modular i got for 50, now for the same 50 i was able to find a thermaltake 500w
57:56 <Halcyon> Bugger
59:31 <photonmagic> hey, do you know mosfets well?
00:14 <Halcyon> To be honest, I'm not an EE, so probably can't help you. There are a bunch of guys here who are very good. coppice, T3sl4, MrMobodies for example.
00:52 <photonmagic> ah cool no worries, im a beginer myself but i always have questions and noone to talk to lol
01:12 <Halcyon> Well this is a good place to hang out.
01:42 <photonmagic> glad to be here =D
02:14 <photonmagic> in my parts nones really into EE
03:00 <Halcyon> Do you participate in the EEVblog forum as well?
03:39 <photonmagic> going to sign up now, i made it here from my youtube surfing
04:27 <Halcyon> Ah nice. You might find the conversation here pretty quiet depending on the time of day. Many people are sleeping at the moment. But the forum is usually always pretty active.
07:20 <photonmagic> i see, do you know if the activation email takes a couple of hrs?
07:31 <photonmagic> i dont seem to get it
07:44 <Halcyon> It *shouldn't* take longer than a few minutes, but let me know if it doesn't come through soon and I'll look into it
07:58 <photonmagic> cool thank you =]
10:50 <photonmagic> no email yet =\
10:59 <Halcyon> Hrmm... let me ask Dave
11:10 <photonmagic> cheers
11:20 <Halcyon> I know we changed things around a bit because a lot of trolls were signing up with multiple accounts.
13:38 <photonmagic> i filled up correctly but i havent received email yet
15:01 <Halcyon> Yeh I think it's a manual process from our end now, I haven't really kept up to day with the changes. I should have a response shortly. In the mean time, I have to go our for about an hour. Hopefully it will have resolved itself by then, otherwise I'll be back soon. Need to go get a chip in my windscreen repaired.
15:10 <Halcyon> *up to date
16:09 <photonmagic> no problems
16:18 <photonmagic> take care for now and very nice to meet ya =]
17:54 <Halcyon> Likewise, hope you stick around

22:42 <hsn> https://www.techradar.com/news/microsoft-admits-theres-a-serious-problem-with-windows-10
23:09 <Halcyon> Windows who? :P
23:30 <Halcyon> I fucking hate Windows 10, it's horrible. Every week I have some sort of weird and random problem with it
24:52 <hsn> halcyon
24:57 <Halcyon> hsn
25:09 <hsn> ur problem root is the hate
25:18 <hsn> :P
25:22 <Halcyon> My hate developed from using Windows 10
25:51 <hsn> its a paradigm
25:56 <Halcyon> I actually grew up with Windows and my previous jobs were mostly building and administering Windows servers and environments
26:23 <hsn> is this right word? paradigm?
26:34 <Halcyon> Windows 7 was great. It was stable, it worked and it wasn't full of bullshit.
26:53 <Halcyon> Windows 10 is just a dumbed down, retarded version of what Windows used to be, it's worse than Windows ME or Vista ever was.
27:55 <hsn> i think, win 10 is when microsoft tried to clean up their shit and do good kernel design ..
29:14 <Halcyon> Perhaps, but I can't help but think they are also appealing to the lowest common denominator of users. Even the language has change from professional concise English to shit like "Apps" and "We're working on it..." instead of "Loading, please wait"
29:35 <Halcyon> I'm surprised the BSODs don't say "Soz, something bad happened. KTHXBYE"
30:59 <hsn> that language i thought is good in branding ..
32:52 <Halcyon> I absolutely hate it. I feel as though it's just another step in dumbing down language in general.
33:23 <photonmagic> activation email still lost =\

31:54 <steve30> Hi Halcyon. I've just been out showing off my cycling shorts.
32:09 <Halcyon> Oh yeh?
33:52 <steve30> hmm, my Asterisk server has been up 9 days without crashing :)
34:11 <Halcyon> YAY
34:56 <steve30> re Win 10, I laugh at the BSOD that says "We're just gathering some information, then we'll restart for you"
36:05 <Halcyon> Yeh, as if the OS is doing the user a favour
36:37 <steve30> I preferred it when things performed illegal operations :)
36:46 <Halcyon> Exactly
36:53 <Halcyon> and "will be shutdown"
37:05 <Halcyon> None of this ASCII frowny face bullshit
38:22 <steve30> I assume in your profession, you could just arrest it if it performed an illegal operation.
38:30 <Halcyon> :P
41:49 * steve30 should get a sausage sandwich
44:47 <Halcyon> Yum

00:33 <Ysjoelfir> and everyone who might be here
00:41 <Halcyon> Hey Ysjoelfir
00:56 <Ysjoelfir> I agree with you, I hate the language they use in win10
01:02 <Halcyon> \o/
01:04 <Halcyon> Because it's stupid
02:07 <Ysjoelfir> also I hate the recent update where they were like "Heeeeeey Buddy, we have this amazing new feature just for you, its called Edge Chrome! Oh you don't want that? Well, try to close the freakin window, which you can't! You have to kill the task manually if you don't want to send us any data what you think about this shitty browser!"

22:45 <steve30> I know there are 240d in a pound
23:05 <Ysjoelfir> I mean.... If I show you a picture with rectangles with names in it... and tell you that the exact same component layout is on that board three times, each besides the other, clearly separated by thick lines of silkscreen... yould you ask me several times if that component should realy be in the same place as in the example?
23:28 <Ysjoelfir> oh you english people with your strange currency :P
23:39 <Halcyon> :P
23:40 <Ysjoelfir> atomic shrimp made a nice video about that topic

58:41 <steve30> I was just watching a documentary about gayness. Apparently Hebden Bridge is the lesbian capital of the country.
58:52 <Halcyon> Never heard of it
58:57 <Halcyon> Lesbians that is ;-)

49:40 <K> are you calling steve30 big-boned?
55:24 * Ysjoelfir bones steve30.... wait, what? :D
55:38 <Halcyon> :P
55:54 <Halcyon> Although seriously, Steve does have a large penis
55:56 <K> as in "he is not fat, he's just big-boned", hence the BIG basket
56:24 <Ysjoelfir> I can't provide evidence for that, Halcyon xD
56:30 <Halcyon> :P
56:42 <Ysjoelfir> K - reminds me on that scene from ice age :D I'm not fat, thats only my fluffy fur!
04:46 <steve30> well, i need room to move around in said basket

26:38 <Ysjoelfir> hey Lemon
26:45 <Ysjoelfir> Brunhilde arrived yesterday!
26:46 <Lemon> yo yo !
26:56 <Lemon> haaaaa nice ! you like it ? :>
27:10 <Lemon> im getting a new rig !
27:33 <Lemon> https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/33057547666.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.188078f2iIUXSq&algo_pvid=d96587e8-7d54-47f8-b1c5-b8a7a6f8fcec&algo_expid=d96587e8-7d54-47f8-b1c5-b8a7a6f8fcec-14&btsid=0b0a0ad815931240057351760ee53c&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_ in black + https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/32853422957.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.7fb845a8BlPFY5&algo_pvid=f6c3fa1f-1843-4c42-b9ea-a1ebad567d60&algo_expid=f6c3fa1f-18

28:13 <Ysjoelfir> its.......... well, give me one more day to answer that precisely. :) my thoughts so far are: first day: why the heck does that smell like dish soap!? fist day, few hours later: why the hell do I have to cough like crazy?! this morning: ooooh wow, thats a lot of vapor, and it tastes not that bad anymore!
28:14 <Lemon> 45 euros for a squonk in stabwood + a rda :>
28:31 <Lemon> haha I see :P
28:39 <Lemon> got the same thing with my m25
28:42 <Lemon> im still not a fan tho
28:55 <Lemon> the wasp nano is a single coil, and the squonker is a semi mech one !
28:59 <Lemon> you know how it works ?
29:06 <Lemon> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGx_-N1bqsg
29:54 <Ysjoelfir> I'm not sure I totally understood the working principle, no. looked unneccessary complicated to me. also, I think you should have chosen transparent gold with that cool stabby wood thing
29:59 <Lemon> this mod used to cost around 110 euros, but I found a few discounted ones on ali !
30:04 * Ampera squeezes Lemon 
30:08 <Lemon> well in fact thats ultra simple
30:27 <Lemon> you squeeze the plastic part once every 3-4 hits, and liquid comes up to the RDA
30:31 <Lemon> hey amp waddup !
30:52 <Lemon> so you get a huge liquid capacity, and you can use a RDA without having to transport a bottle to throw some juice every hits
30:56 <Lemon> best of both worlds :>
31:04 <Lemon> and man, 35 euros for a stabwood squonker ?
31:10 <Ysjoelfir> that doesn't sound toooo bad
31:10 <Lemon> 10 euros for a rda everyone praise ?
31:17 <Lemon> thats insane !
31:23 <Lemon> and I love the black mosaic :>
31:35 <Lemon> I think I'll buy both, even if it will take a long time to come here
31:59 <Lemon> I prefer colder vape, so single coil low wattage is fine for me
32:06 <Lemon> around 5-60 watts
32:54 <Ysjoelfir> one thing I noticed is, that brunhilde wants A LOT of watts
32:58 <Lemon> so I get a nice capacity, super good taste
33:03 <Lemon> yes xd
33:07 <Lemon> thats the problem with rta's
33:13 <Lemon> its a double coil right ?
33:21 <Ysjoelfir> yes. with the delivered coils its only 0.12 ohms xD
33:34 <Lemon> yeah thats good at around 120watts +
33:42 <Lemon> im not a huge fan of hot vape
34:03 <K> 1kW or bust!
34:25 <coppice> I choose bust
34:25 <Lemon> heh it exisits, even more ! human fog machines, its named
34:29 <Lemon> with lipo batteries xd
34:33 <Ysjoelfir> with 60 watts its taking ages until it starts, if you start sucking it suddenly pops and shoots hot liquid bubbles in your throat xD
34:43 <Ampera> coppice, any real man would choose bust.
34:50 <Ysjoelfir> I tried 100 watts, that works pretty ok
34:51 <Lemon> haaa yes, thats exactly the same with mine
34:56 <Ampera> Not much, Lemon trying to wake up
34:56 <Lemon> also the airflow plays
34:57 <Ampera> how are you
35:01 <Lemon> if its too widee open for example
35:07 <Lemon> hooo im alright thanks, a bit tired !
35:11 <Lemon> looking for new toys :>
35:51 <Lemon> damn in every reviews it was 100 bucks +
35:57 <Lemon> 35 euros man thats such a good deal
36:06 <Lemon> I had to dig up to find one still for sale
36:46 <Lemon> and well its a mech mod with some protections
36:47 <Ysjoelfir> basically like with my... erm... exaggorator or whatever the name was. it's not being sold anymore IIRC, so I got a good deal for the old stock
36:48 <Lemon> I like that
37:49 <Lemon> you should get a wasp nano !
37:55 <Lemon> they are dirt cheap, and everybody love them
38:04 <Lemon> it will fit you more I think
38:07 <Lemon> as its a single coil one
38:57 <Lemon> they even give two squonk bottles in the package
39:13 <Lemon> thats so neat, I cant believe that a nice stabwood squonk could be sold for that cheap
39:20 <Lemon> I do want to polish/laquer it
39:26 <Ysjoelfir> nah, I don't want to get 1000 pcs. I'm happy with the exaggerator and I think I can learn to use the Brunhilde, too. I like the looks and the mouthfeel of that one, so I think I'll have to learn.
39:35 <Ysjoelfir> go on and show the result
39:51 <Lemon> thats ok then :> it can be hard to find the good vape
39:58 <Lemon> I already have 5 atomizers
41:17 <Lemon> also the nice thing with single coils
41:29 <Lemon> is that I bought handcrafted ones, sold in pack of two
41:39 <Ampera> they walkin in space ove der https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlK_bLnqmas
41:41 <Lemon> so they'll last longer :>
43:26 <Lemon> but yeh I want to llive the squonk life
43:29 <Ysjoelfir> whats that, Ampera? People walking on the ISS?
43:37 <Ampera> Ysjoelfir, no outside it
43:46 <Ysjoelfir> thats what I meant
44:13 <Ysjoelfir> I meant like literally ON it. like on its outer hull :D
46:33 <Ampera> Ysjoelfir, no they're walking on the space outside it
46:51 <Ysjoelfir> so like basically on... nothing.
47:03 <Ysjoelfir> that must feel very strange

43:08 <Ysjoelfir> hi
43:11 <ziga> what do you think Z1 is ?
43:28 <Ysjoelfir> a spark gap
43:37 <Ysjoelfir> or an option jumper
45:50 <Lemon> hi ziga
46:12 <K> maybe some high RF thing, but i doubt that
46:35 <ziga> it comes from an electric scooter BMS
46:58 <ziga> the one above in the picture is brand new
47:05 <ziga> the one bottom is burnt
48:04 <Lemon> looks like it arced yeah
49:27 <ziga> thanks guys
49:28 <K> hard to tell from the angle
49:39 <ziga> just found a similar footprint for a spark gap
49:40 <ziga> https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/307144/esd-surge-protection-with-tvs-and-spark-gap
50:05 <K> not quite the same, spark gaps have > <, this one is > >
50:48 <K> alas, sparkgap makes most sense
51:42 <ziga> why would they name it Z1
51:44 <ziga> :(
51:56 <Ysjoelfir> ZZZZZAP1!
51:59 <Ysjoelfir> ? :P
52:01 <ziga> lol
52:22 <Lemon> ziga1 :>
