01:29:24 <Nothing\> koo koo ka choo
01:31:03 <rust_collector> you could say that
01:31:04 <rust_collector> I see
01:31:15 <Nothing\> said the blind man
01:31:19 <Nothing\> to his deaf son
01:31:25 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
01:31:26 <Ampera> <3
01:31:34 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera <3
01:31:41 <Nothing\> Ampera, did i tell you the jail related news?
01:31:45 <Ampera> No you did not
01:31:51 <Nothing\> i never have to go back!
01:31:55 <Ampera> gg
01:32:04 <Nothing\> they've extended the shutdown until august 26th
01:32:04 <Ampera> you just have to spend the rest of the time under home arrest?
01:32:09 <Nothing\> my last day is augest 23rd
01:32:14 <Ampera> Hah.
01:32:15 <Nothing\> not the rest of my time, just the weekends
01:32:26 <Nothing\> saturday and sunday from 9am to 5pm
01:32:31 <Ampera> No more adult daycare for you.
01:32:43 <Nothing\> so out of a 90 day sentence, i served a total of 10 days
01:32:45 <Ampera> and Nothing\, don't do a fucky wucky with the law plz
01:32:55 <Nothing\> nah i wouldn't tempt fate
01:33:05 <Nothing\> ima be a good boy now
01:33:09 <Nothing\> :)
01:33:12 <Ampera> <3
01:33:27 <Nothing\> although the other week i accidentally went out on a saturday without realizing it
01:33:29 <Ampera> For the first time ever I am excited for my brother's birthday
01:33:38 <Ampera> Because me and my grandfather bought him a really really nice phone
01:33:44 <Ampera> and I'm excited to give it to him
01:33:45 <Nothing\> i lost track of what day it was and absentmindedly walked down the street to the store on a saturday
01:34:00 <Nothing\> nice that's pretty awesome
01:34:03 <Ampera> presumably they do not have you on an anklet
01:34:06 <Nothing\> how old is he/will he be?
01:34:09 <Ampera> 15
01:34:13 <Nothing\> nope, no real monitoring of any sort
01:34:20 <Ampera> good, pretend there is
01:34:22 <Ampera> :P
01:34:39 <Nothing\> they started calling me ever week or so and just asking if i'm abiding by the conditions, that's it
01:34:52 <Nothing\> but other than that, they haven't even checked in on me until about a month ago
01:35:29 <Nothing\> the irony is the crown actually offered me a plea deal where i would have only got house arrest, but the police wouldn't allow it. they wanted me to do some sort of jail time
01:35:51 <Ampera> then someone ate a bat.
01:35:52 <Nothing\> if they'd have just aggreed to the house arrest i WOULD have an ankle monitor and more thorough check ins and monitoring
01:36:44 <Nothing\> but instead, i served 1 day in a holding cell during my initial admitting procedure, and 5 weekends
01:36:48 <Ampera> I am currently writing an intricate series of instruction manuals describing exactly how to make a piece of software misbehave
01:36:56 <Nothing\> actually it wasn't even 1 day in a holding cell
01:37:09 <Nothing\> nice, trying to reproduce bugs or something?
01:37:15 <Ampera> Nothing\, if it makes you feel any better I can buy you Prison Architect on steam.
01:37:22 <Ampera> No, trying to find them
01:37:36 <Nothing\> lol i actually have prison architect, though i haven't played it
01:37:39 <Ampera> reproducing bugs is the job of the guy who has to fix them
01:37:50 <Nothing\> i also have this game called the escapists 2, which seems based on prison architect
01:38:01 <Ampera> I'll play the normal version, and then get bored, and then I'll play the sandbox, and get bored
01:38:02 <Nothing\> where you have to work out ways it escape from various joils and prisons
01:38:13 <Nothing\> yeah i've never been big on those types of games
01:38:25 <Nothing\> i got this game on my switch that's like theme hospital, if you remember that game
01:38:33 <Nothing\> i played it for about a week and haven't touched it since
01:38:43 <Ampera> hah, remember
01:38:46 <Ampera> I do remember it, and have played it
01:38:48 <Ampera> but it's older than I am
01:38:58 <Nothing\> indeed
01:39:04 <Ampera> you forget I am an infantile chimplet :P
01:39:15 <Nothing\> man i remember playing theme park on the playstation, that game was the shit back in the day
01:39:22 <Nothing\> before rollercoaster tycoon
01:39:32 <Nothing\> i loved the first person videos of the ride
01:39:33 <Nothing\> s
01:39:47 <Nothing\> man, taht's one thing you really missed out on
01:39:53 <Nothing\> is the transition from 2d to 3d games
01:39:58 <Ampera> Not really.
01:40:10 <Nothing\> playing those first 3d games, it was like exploring a whole new world, a completely immersive experience
01:40:17 <Nothing\> even for the first gen 3d games
01:40:20 <Ampera> Much of my childhood was actually playing much of the same games as a kid in the 90's would have, even in almost the same order
01:40:23 <Nothing\> it was magical
01:40:28 <Nothing\> oh, nice
01:40:29 <Ampera> as I discovered emulation and such, since it was cheap and easy
01:40:43 <Nothing\> heh i still remember the first time i saw NES emulation
01:40:50 <Nothing\> it was on nesticle, if you ever used that
01:40:56 <Ampera> No, but I've heard of it
01:41:05 <Nothing\> it's not the greatest tbh
01:41:12 <Ampera> the first time I ever tried to use an emulator was a SNES emulator on a 486SX-25
01:41:21 <Nothing\> these days i use fceux cuz it has great debugging and hacking utilities on it
01:41:34 <Ampera> Nothing\, so you know how I bought a new phone?
01:41:47 <Nothing\> you can monitor memory addresses in real time, assemble/disassemble code, monitor the PPU and nametables etc
01:41:52 <Nothing\> Ampera, right
01:41:57 <Ampera> it can do gamecube emulation
01:42:02 <Ampera> like, playable gamecube emulation
01:42:02 <Nothing\> right on
01:42:06 <Nothing\> that's pretty tits
01:42:11 <Ampera> heck yeah
01:42:27 <Ampera> and with retroarch having all the emulators you'd ever want, I think I'll really enjoy making it a little portable gaming machine
01:42:39 <Nothing\> i have a gamecube... well not really emulator, but it's a homebrew app that plays gamecube games on my wii
01:42:41 <Ampera> I bought a Razer Kishi, which is a controller that snaps onto my phone
01:42:48 <Ampera> you mean Wii U
01:42:51 <Nothing\> since the wii can already play gamecube games it doesn't really need emulation
01:42:57 <Nothing\> nope, just a wii
01:43:00 <Ampera> ah, so it's just a game loader
01:43:05 <Nothing\> yep
01:43:21 <Ampera> The gamecube ROMs I have were actually ripped on a Wii
01:43:22 <Nothing\> it's pretty awesome cuz i never had a gamecube so i missed out on the handfulll of good games it had
01:43:24 <Ampera> my Wii, by me
01:43:35 <Ampera> all I have is wind waker and SMSS
01:43:37 <Nothing\> nice
01:43:57 <Ampera> https://www.razer.com/gaming-controllers/razer-kishi
01:43:59 <Nothing\> i have windwaker, but was never big on smash bros, except the one on the wii cuz it had that great single player mode
01:44:02 <Ampera> This is the controller I bought for my phone
01:44:14 <Ampera> Nothing\, not smash bros, super mario sunshine
01:44:17 <Nothing\> nice
01:44:20 <Nothing\> oh right
01:44:26 <Nothing\> that game's fucking hard, man
01:44:29 <Ampera> It is.
01:44:39 <Ampera> This controller, btw, plugs straight into the USB-C port onto the phone
01:44:41 <Ampera> and it looks really nice
01:44:51 <Nothing\> i played it up to a point but then i got tired of how difficult it was
01:45:03 <Ampera> I have it on disc
01:45:04 <Nothing\> that's good you got a controller, i didn't even think how the controls would work
01:45:12 <Ampera> Not well, is the answer
01:45:16 <Ampera> I hate soft controls
01:45:21 <Nothing\> that's one reason i never liked emulation on phones is cuz the lack of any tactile feel is just gross feeling
01:45:29 <Ampera> Unless a game is really designed to use the touch screen I just get annoyed trying to use it
01:45:37 <Nothing\> exactly
01:45:45 <Nothing\> you can't tell where your thumbs are at all
01:45:48 <Ampera> also those soft controls can damage the phone's screen
01:45:53 <Nothing\> really?
01:45:57 <Ampera> yep
01:45:58 <Ampera> burn-in
01:46:00 <Nothing\> burn-in?
01:46:02 <Nothing\> ah
01:46:05 <Nothing\> huh
01:46:28 <Ampera> This phone has an absolutely amazing OLED display, but I am scared shitless about burn-in
01:46:46 <Nothing\> you know, i've been addicted to this cilcker game i got on steam, i know i know clickers are lame, but i couldn't help but feel like it was destroying my mouse/keyboard pressing buttons so many times so aggressively
01:47:03 <Ampera> I have a fairly decent keyboard+mouse, so I doubt those sorts of games would hurt them
01:47:09 <Nothing\> especially considering i've gone through 4 different mice that wound up with button bouncing issues in the last 6 months
01:47:17 <Ampera> that being said, I'm planning on, some day, some time, buying a new keyboard
01:47:23 <Nothing\> 01
01:47:25 <Ampera> potentially even getting parts together and assembling my own
01:47:41 <Nothing\> i wound up just getting a program that lets me set up macros
01:47:41 <Ampera> mostly because I use very very specific switches
01:47:52 <Nothing\> and set up a macro to tap a few keys constantly
01:47:57 <Nothing\> and just leave it on over night
01:48:22 <Nothing\> took forfuckingever to find a program to do that though
01:48:43 <Nothing\> every time i searched how to make macros, it'd bring up search results for how to make your own keyboard shortcuts
01:48:48 <Nothing\> or hot keys to open apps
01:48:58 <Ampera> autohotkey is classic for that
01:49:03 <Ampera> I actually use it on rare occasion for my job
01:49:10 <Nothing\> i wound up getting... let's see
01:49:19 <Nothing\> hot keyboard
01:49:34 <Ampera> I need to figure out something to cook and eat
01:49:40 <Nothing\> it seems to work pretty well and has good config options
01:49:47 <Ampera> I have really really nice sausages
01:49:50 <Ampera> maybe I'll do pasta with them
01:49:54 <K> sausage fest!
01:49:56 <Nothing\> i've got a frozen mac and cheese with bacon in the microwave cooling
01:50:13 <Nothing\> i've never been a big fan of sausage, despite my half german blood
01:50:14 <Ampera> maybe I'll do some pasta with it
01:50:28 <Ampera> This is Italian sausage, and very very nice at that
01:50:36 <Nothing\> actually i really should eat, my meds are burning a hole in my stomach
01:50:40 <Nothing\> i'll bbiab
01:50:46 <Ampera> ciao
01:50:47 <Nothing\> gonna eat and watch adventure time
01:50:49 <Ampera> will get cooking
01:50:50 <rust_collector> that would be annoying
01:50:51 <Ampera> bye
01:50:58 <Nothing\> yeah it doesn't feel great
01:51:12 <Nothing\> and i have more meds to take, so i need a buffer
01:51:16 <rust_collector> but, when you ploink down mode meds, and they just fall out
01:51:27 <rust_collector> arrrgh
01:51:54 <rust_collector> you need haggis
01:57:00 <Ysjoelfir> haggis? I would like to try that
01:57:46 <rust_collector> I know. I was talking to the guy with a hole in his stomach
02:09:40 <Nothing\> there, belly's all full of medication buffering food now
02:09:46 <Nothing\> Ysjoelfir, i would too
02:09:55 <Nothing\> i tried blood pudding once, i wasn't a fan
02:10:00 <Nothing\> it was all dry and unpleasant
02:10:11 <rust_collector> ooh, then you did it wrong
02:10:22 <Nothing\> but the weirdest thing i ate was goat testicles
02:10:26 <Nothing\> curried goat testicles
02:10:40 <Nothing\> i lived with a persian dude once who made them and shared some with me
02:10:44 <Nothing\> they were actually pretty good
02:10:48 <rust_collector> I think I dislike eyeballs more
02:10:51 <Nothing\> sorta like fleshy dumplings
02:10:57 <Nothing\> i've never had eyeballs
02:11:08 <Nothing\> but i also had a stew made from a goat's head which was alright
02:11:16 <rust_collector> not me either, and I probably wont
02:11:42 <Nothing\> yeah i've seen cow eyes being dissected and that's all i think about when i think of eating eyebals
02:12:05 <Nothing\> that and the gelatenous vitreous humour bursting out when i bite into it
02:12:57 <rust_collector> yes, they make me think of strawberries or something like that
02:13:19 <Nothing\> i like to watch videos of various animal and people parts being dissected
02:13:30 <rust_collector> ok
02:13:31 <Nothing\> and for some reason watching a human brain being dissected actually made me hungry
02:13:47 <Nothing\> a lot of it actually looks like real food
02:13:58 <rust_collector> well, it is. but...
02:14:19 <Nothing\> like watching the torso of a cadaver being dissected, the various layers of abdominal muscle looked like strips of bacon
02:14:39 <Nothing\> if they ever found a way to make human mean in a lab, i'd totally try it
02:14:40 <rust_collector> how can that be
02:14:58 <rust_collector> you mean we are like other animals?
02:15:04 <Nothing\> well cuz they were just slices of muscles
02:15:11 <Nothing\> then sheets
02:15:50 <rust_collector> but I want to be special, not like other animals.
02:16:13 <Nothing\> i've gotta say though, the brains that did make me hungry were ones that were fixed in formaldehyde which makes them pale and stiff. i watched a rare dissection of an unfixed brain and it didn't make me hungry like the others
02:16:27 <Nothing\> an unfixed brain just has the consistency of a jello mold or something
02:16:48 <Nothing\> rust_collector, heh i remember when i realized taht humans were animals just like any other
02:16:53 <Nothing\> it was a very weird thought
02:17:06 <rust_collector> heh, I guess
02:18:07 <Nothing\> i alos remember when i realized that everything i experience, everything i am, my personality, my morals, the experience of my life was basically just electrical impulses modulated by chemicals
02:18:19 <Nothing\> that was a pretty deep realization
02:24:24 <Nothing\> lol i taught my cat how to play fetch last night
02:24:27 <Nothing\> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR1_j_yxQQk
02:24:37 <Nothing\> he's only 4 months old and he's already figured it out
02:25:03 <rust_collector> teach it to play super mario, or program things in python
02:26:07 <Nothing\> actually he loves watching me play mario
02:26:24 <Nothing\> especially mario odyssey, but he also loves regular super mario bros too
02:27:03 <Nothing\> or i'll make scenes in algodoo, a 2d physics sim of balls bouncing all over in a pongesque fashion. he loves watching those
02:27:27 <rust_collector> that makes more sense
02:27:28 <Nothing\> or he really loves watching cyriak video, if you've ever seen one of his videos
02:27:53 <rust_collector> not afaik
02:28:07 <Nothing\> they're pretty good, music videos with trippy visuals
02:28:25 <rust_collector> oh
02:28:33 <Nothing\> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX3iLfcMDCw
02:28:40 <Nothing\> there's one of his favorites
02:28:54 <Nothing\> they're actually really good videos
02:29:06 <Nothing\> i'm not big on music videos or music in general but i like his work
02:30:45 <rust_collector> I sense that he might not have much overtime on his job
02:31:59 <rust_collector> hmmm, charlie the unicorn....
02:33:06 <hsn> im not unicorn
02:33:15 <hsn> im unipopcorn
02:35:32 <Nothing\> i never really watched charlie the unicorn
02:35:48 <Nothing\> i think i watched one or two of them but they never really held my attention
02:35:49 <rust_collector> ARRRGH!
02:35:59 <Nothing\> they should make charle the unijunction transistor
02:36:52 <Nothing\> bah meds+4 hours of sleep=nodding too much
02:37:40 <Nothing\> i wish i could sleep longer on the days when i have to go to the clinic for my refills, but if i get there after 12 it's always so busy
02:38:09 <Nothing\> where if i get there at like 10am there's only maybe 1 person ahead of me, or otherwise he just sees me right away
02:38:58 <Nothing\> but considering i go to bed at 6-7am i don't end up with much sleep, and being loaded up with heavily sedating drugs just makes me so tired and almost narcoleptic
02:39:48 <Nothing\> and if i tried to have a nap, i just end up seleping until they wear off, which means waking up at like 19pm
02:40:13 <Nothing\> or the brunt of them wears off anyways, my one meds i can feel for upwards of 4 days after i take them
02:40:59 <Nothing\> actually, two of the meds will last for several days after i take them
02:41:29 <Nothing\> ooh actually i should make a coffee
02:41:37 <Nothing\> i forgot that's an option, i don't usually consume caffeine
02:41:59 <rust_collector> grab a spoon...
03:00:04 <hsn> why everybody keep telling me i have red eyes ?
03:00:05 <hsn> :)
03:00:18 <Ampera> hsn, because red eyes are cute
03:02:13 <Nothing\> hsn, maybe you're becoming posessed by evil demons
03:02:39 <Nothing\> man, i've really been getting into advance wars lately
03:02:49 <Nothing\> such a great series of turn based strategy games
03:03:06 <Nothing\> dunno which to play though, i've got 4 different ones
03:03:52 <Nothing\> oh yeah, my microwave's got this weird glitch to it
03:04:00 <Nothing\> i was wondering if any of you could explain it
03:04:03 <Nothing\> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d1PR5Of9xk
03:04:55 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
03:04:58 <Ampera> how was your food
03:05:19 <Ampera> I had creamy worcestershire mushroom spaghetti with sweet italian sausage
03:05:31 <Nothing\> it was tasty, and more importantly buffered my meds wonderfully
03:05:44 <Nothing\> my stomach no longer feels like a hole's being burned into it
03:05:58 <rust_collector> Nothing\, it is probably a switch adjustment thing, just stop pushing the button just slightly
03:06:02 <Nothing\> even after the rest of my meds and my pomegranate juice, which usually makes me nauesou
03:06:15 <Nothing\> rust_collector, hrm
03:06:35 <Nothing\> it's just weird that the turn table and fan would have any connection to the button to open the door
03:07:06 <Ampera> mmm, pomegranate
03:07:17 <rust_collector> so, the door latch bar thing does not move at all?
03:08:18 <Nothing\> rust_collector, if i push it in just a bit, it'll turn the fan and turn table on
03:08:38 <hsn> this freak me out though .. as i only have one usefull eye ..
03:08:42 <Nothing\> but the door doesn't open
03:08:47 <Nothing\> hsn, how's that?
03:08:50 <hsn> and i use monitors a lot
03:09:03 <hsn> nothing\ from birth eye issue ..
03:09:11 <Nothing\> aw that sucks
03:09:18 <hsn> i see super blury from my right eye
03:09:26 <Nothing\> i had a friend who had to get a corneal transplant from a dead guy who donated his organs
03:09:27 <Ampera> My eyes are invincible, I've tortured them with displays my entire life and I only sometimes see voices in their static
03:09:50 <Nothing\> i've had to get glasses in my older age, but i never wear them
03:09:53 <Nothing\> although i should
03:10:38 <Nothing\> but it's not like i can't see without them. i basically equate it to the difference between SD and HD TV
03:10:40 <K> is the eye really red, hsn?
03:11:21 <rust_collector> I know snorting drugs is frowned upon down there, but i would prefer it to rubbing it into my eyes
03:11:42 <Nothing\> damn cat spilled my coffee and then tried to drink it
03:11:47 <hsn> idk, k .. i guess ..
03:12:08 <Ampera> ugh I have four more hours of this shit
03:12:11 <Ampera> AND THEN IT IS THE WEEKEND
03:12:23 <Ampera> AND I CAN STARE INTO A CORNER AND CONTEMPLATE THE PAIN OF IT ALL
03:12:23 <Nothing\> rust_collector, back in the day i used to read these trip reports on this site erowid.org that was all about drugs. trip reports being first hand accounts of peoples' experiences with drugss
03:12:44 <Nothing\> and this one guy wrote a report where he actually put a hit of acid under his eyelid
03:12:49 <Nothing\> like, the actual blotter paper
03:13:07 <Nothing\> i don't recall that he reported any effects other than severe irritation and redness
03:13:18 <hsn> hmm , from camera it look normal
03:13:29 <K> know i might sound bothersome, but if that is your only good eye, maybe showing it to a doctor is a good idea?
03:13:45 <Nothing\> K, if it's been since birth i'm sure he has
03:13:52 <Nothing\> at least i assumed so
03:13:56 <hsn> yeah .. i should ..
03:14:00 <K> or does visit to a doctor cost you a fortune there?
03:14:21 <hsn> hmm , for govermental hospital ,, no
03:14:25 <Nothing\> phew it's getting warm in here
03:14:33 <Nothing\> i think i may have to turn on the blessed AC
03:14:47 <Ampera> I hate countries with civilized healthcare
03:14:53 <Ampera> I don't want poor people to live
03:14:57 <Nothing\> i got a second AC unit for my upstairs, but unfortunately i could only get one of those portable ones that are terribly inefficient
03:14:57 <Ampera> they should fucking suffer for being poor
03:14:58 <hsn> https://photos.app.goo.gl/kpLgKiyRSJdJj6BN8 < it looks ok
03:14:59 <Ampera> the worthless fucks
03:15:02 <hsn> for me
03:15:14 <Nothing\> Ampera, for what it's worth, our healthcare system here is still shit
03:15:15 <Ampera> doesn't look red
03:15:19 <hsn> yeah
03:15:27 <Ampera> Nothing\, so is ours, the different is we pay for it
03:15:31 <Nothing\> it's free, yes, but severely understaffed
03:15:38 <Nothing\> there's been a doctor shortage for ages
03:15:39 <Ampera> so if you want your shit healthcare you better fucking mortgage your house
03:15:42 <hsn> i guess in real its different as i've seen my self before and tried to capture red eye in phone it doesn show
03:16:00 <Ampera> hsn, unfortunately your pupils seem to be missing
03:16:03 <Ampera> which might be a problem
03:16:16 <Nothing\> what we have at the clinic i go to now is you see these "nurse practitioners" which ar ebasically like nurses who can write prescriptions and requisition tests and what not
03:16:20 <K> hm, does look a bit red to me
03:16:24 <Nothing\> so a nurse with the power of a doctor
03:16:54 <hsn> i hate hospitals and get really boared from them
03:16:56 <Ampera> wish a doctor would just euthanize me, would solve all my problems
03:17:15 <K> too bad you can't afford it haha
03:17:20 <Ampera> I pretty much have never been (really) admitted to a hospital
03:17:24 <hsn> i'd done hernia surgery after 7 years of knowing that i have hernia
03:17:26 <Ampera> because if I were to injure myself, I'd finish the damn job
03:17:26 <hsn> hahah
03:17:32 <Nothing\> damn cat's getting bitey
03:17:41 <Nothing\> i was thinknig we should have named him bytey
03:17:43 <Ampera> not do it half-way like some sort of normie
03:18:08 <hsn> hospitals are just borring place
03:18:11 <K> but arn't we all a bunch of normies, really?
03:18:13 <Nothing\> i've never been admitted to a hospital, except a 3 week stint in the psych ward
03:18:28 <Nothing\> and a 5 month stint in an actual psychiatric facility
03:18:35 <Nothing\> which was actually pretty fun
03:18:42 <Nothing\> i learned to play guitar while i was there
03:18:56 <Nothing\> one of my friends brought his guitar in and taught me to read tablature
03:19:13 <hsn> lel nice
03:19:15 <Nothing\> ah my cat wants to play fetch
03:19:29 <hsn> feed her a mice
03:19:32 <Nothing\> but yeah, it was set up where each unit was a cottage that held maybe 12 of us
03:19:51 <Nothing\> him and yeah i do
03:20:01 <Nothing\> he just figured out fetch last night and i gave him a load of treats after
03:20:09 <hsn> u give him mices or rats
03:20:22 <Nothing\> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR1_j_yxQQk
03:20:24 <Nothing\> there
03:20:28 <Nothing\> playing fetch with kitty
03:20:42 <Nothing\> his name's smokey, he's only 4 months old but sharp as a tack
03:21:16 <Nothing\> he's currently been trying to learn to drink from a faucet
03:21:29 <hsn> this cat looks one of the smart ones
03:21:44 <Nothing\> he's part maine coon
03:21:55 <Nothing\> so he can be viscious sometimes
03:22:23 <Nothing\> apparently they're really good mousers
03:22:49 <Nothing\> but my hands and feet/legs ar ecovered in scars from being scratched and bitten
03:22:59 <Nothing\> he gets really violent when he plays sometimse
03:23:25 <hsn> naughty child is always smart child
03:23:28 <Nothing\> it's hard cuz we just adopted another kitten and he has a habit of using her as a chew toy
03:23:28 <hsn> :p
03:23:41 <Nothing\> it really is just like having a child
03:23:47 <Nothing\> i had to kitten proof my whole house
03:24:01 <Nothing\> stuff towels under the reclining coucth so he wouldn't get into it
03:24:04 <Nothing\> and under the glider
03:24:06 <Nothing\> rocker
03:24:23 <Nothing\> heaven forbid he should get a leg caught in the inner worknigs of it
03:24:30 <hsn> does he pee everywhere?
03:24:39 <Nothing\> no that's one thing he's great about
03:24:58 <Nothing\> he was litter trained from from the get go cuz he was fostered by my cousin's wife
03:25:06 <Nothing\> she fosters rescue cats for a shelter at her house
03:25:37 <hsn> so when he move to new house do u train him to new toilet path?
03:25:53 <Nothing\> i showed him the litter box and that was about it
03:25:57 <Nothing\> he used it right after
03:26:02 <Nothing\> same with the second one we got
03:26:06 <hsn> ok
03:26:14 <hsn> nice
03:26:30 <Nothing\> i remember as a kid when we got our cats, we'd have to lock them in a room with the litter box for a day or two to get them to use it
03:28:18 <Nothing\> i feel bad cuz we have to keep the younger cat locked up in my mom's room constantly cuz otherwise the older one, smokey beats up on her and bites the shit out of her
03:28:30 <Nothing\> then they end up in a 69 rabbit kicking eachother in the face
03:28:48 <Nothing\> her yeowling like she's being killed in typical cat fashion
03:29:14 <Nothing\> but then she'll run from him, stop, and look back to make sure he's following her
03:29:31 <Nothing\> i think a lot of it is liebenspiel
03:30:07 <Nothing\> i've noticed he even does the classic cat mating move where he gets on top of her and bites the back of her neck
03:30:19 <Nothing\> despite being recently fixed and only 4 months old
03:30:33 <Nothing\> she's just under 3 months, but orly half his size
03:30:54 <Nothing\> and like i said since he's part maine coon, he can be especially aggressive
03:31:17 <Nothing\> but we let them get together a couple of times a day to try and get used to eachother
03:31:31 <Nothing\> plus the seem to like being together
03:32:03 <Nothing\> the best is when they get into the bath tiub, i'll thorw a few ping pong balls in and they just have a field day playing with them in there
03:32:29 <Nothing\> or he'll just sit there and watch her play

04:46:26 <rust_collector> I went outside, and looked hard at the thing I was going to do, then gutted a microwave oven.
04:47:18 <rust_collector> I wonder if that fan motor would be a good magnetizer and demagnetizer thingie
04:47:39 <rust_collector> it is probably sort of weak, I guess

05:41:51 <Ysjoelfir> I think those motors could well be used for creating magnetic fields
05:53:27 <Ysjoelfir> T3sl4, you here?
05:53:53 <T3sl4> buh
05:54:48 <Ysjoelfir> I think that its simmilar in CS and real altium and since you know everything... maybe you know what I accidentally pressed. usually when you move a part the ratsnest connecting to it is still displayed. I somehow disabled that, no Idea how and how I could reactivate it. any ideas?
05:55:10 <Ysjoelfir> also, how are you and what are you up to? enjoying the upcomming weekend? :D
05:56:43 <T3sl4> why all the questions
05:56:47 <T3sl4> i have a right to my privacy
05:56:51 <T3sl4> *slams door*
05:57:01 <Ysjoelfir> XD
05:57:16 <Ysjoelfir> you hurt my feelings </3
05:58:27 <T3sl4> does it say hidden vs dynamic reconnect mode
05:58:32 <T3sl4> and was it N you hit?
05:59:04 <Ysjoelfir> ha! most likely. thank you very much.

09:27:53 <Halcyon> Stupid cat
09:28:06 <hsn> its 2:27am i need to sleep
09:28:17 <Halcyon> Yes
10:23:19 <Halcyon> I might do teriyaki beef in the slow cooker for dinner tonight
10:25:36 <Halcyon> Hey T3sl4, you mentioned in a post on the forum not to solder crimped connectors, why is that?
10:26:52 <T3sl4> not sure how significant it is. maybe just because it's bad strain relief on stranded wire?
10:28:06 <Halcyon> Ah OK. The reason I ask is I made up a short grounding lead from an ethernet surge protector that connects to the mains grounding pin. The crimp connectors I used weren't crash hot (possibly slightly too big) so I just finished them off with some solder.
10:28:33 <T3sl4> yeah
10:28:59 <Halcyon> It's in a fixed position and will never move (the gear is fixed to a wall)
11:00:15 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: It's interesting to note the lack of new cases in NSW even though we are now many weeks into school being fully back, & gyms open for 2 weeks now. Both some of the leading traditional breeding grounds for flu spread. Everyone is talking about VIC rise, but it's still quite low. https://t.co/wxKEXzWcVb

23:09:08 <hsn> why meshing the plane????
23:10:04 <T3sl4> likes the look
23:10:30 <T3sl4> i did that a few times, back in the day, because it gives better toner density for toner transfer etching
23:12:01 <hsn> was that manual process or pcb manufacturing
23:14:33 <T3sl4> a particularly good example https://www.seventransistorlabs.com/Images/ClassD_4.jpg https://www.seventransistorlabs.com/Images/ClassD_5.jpg
23:15:40 <T3sl4> most of the ones i made, the layer alignment sucked, and the toner density on pours was weak
23:20:26 <hsn> toner density = thickness?
23:21:18 <T3sl4> maybe
23:21:23 <T3sl4> porosity in any case
23:32:43 Join: DL3CE ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
23:32:55 <DL3CE> Good afternoon ..
23:33:22 <T3sl4> o/
23:33:26 <DL3CE> I declared one of my parts deales to be offically crazy ..
23:33:43 <DL3CE> T3s14 .. I'm not THAT kind of german ;)
23:34:27 <DL3CE> Sorry, I know that it's supposed to be a wave, but I can't help that association ;)
23:35:59 <DL3CE> Back to that .. wanted to buy some THT 1/4W resistors. They offer them .. at 11 cents per piece .. I may accept that in small numbers as a handling fee, you have to pay the person counting it out for you.
23:36:15 <DL3CE> But .. yeah .. Minimum order: 1000 pcs.
23:36:20 <DL3CE> at this price?
23:36:51 <DL3CE> They expect me to pay 110� for a bag of resistors?
23:37:58 <T3sl4> hah, oh dear
23:38:35 <DL3CE> It gets better ..
23:39:13 <DL3CE> they want 8cents for an 0805 too. Also at least 1000 pcs.
23:39:34 <DL3CE> You can get multiple full reels for that?
23:39:53 <T3sl4> so just go to digikey.dk or something, screw them? :P
23:40:05 <DL3CE> I think so.
23:40:12 <hsn> yes, bolt them
23:41:30 <DL3CE> They DO have their cheap offers, though.
23:42:06 <DL3CE> I ordered my new multimeter (for work, paid by work) there and they had the best offer I could find.
23:42:44 <T3sl4> so buy the cheap things that are cheap, and go somewhere else for the expensive things
23:42:52 <T3sl4> that's how competition works :P
23:45:43 <DL3CE> Yes. I think I will just order the 5W wirewounds there (they are cheap, and they are original Vitrohm, too) and grab the other stuff somewhere else.
23:46:09 <DL3CE> Hmm .. regarding the multimeter ..
23:46:27 <DL3CE> I think I will spend an hour or two at work measuring things on Monday.
23:46:49 <DL3CE> Hey, I have to check if it works before I have it paid. :D
23:47:06 <DL3CE> (Yeah I just want to play with it .. Fluke 289)
