05:13 * Ysjoelfir hands K a Chewsburger
10:54 * hsn sends background radiation to T3sl4 
11:44 <K> thats cold!
12:11 <hsn> T3sl4 is hot .. so thats what u should send him K
12:18 <hsn> xD
16:21 <hsn> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lepton
16:32 * hsn hsn knows lipton tea
16:39 <Nero_> Ysjoelfir, you should clearly have handed them a Thursburger
17:10 <Ysjoelfir> true, but I prefer Friedburger
21:37 <K> no, don't slice that pickel!
25:13 <hsn> heh i miss that science research guy on youtube
25:51 <Nero_> ah yes, him
26:44 <hsn> Vsauce
27:43 <Nero_> oh
31:48 <hsn> https://www.youtube.com/user/Vsauce
33:36 <Nero_> I know who he is
33:49 <Nero_> but thanks for sharing anyways
33:55 <hsn> i ment to share the hole video but i shared the whole channel
36:38 <Nero_> I really do like his concept of taking a seemingly absurd question and using it to teach people without them actually realizing
38:23 <hsn> yesss
38:34 <hsn> and he does so good depth research
38:57 <Nero_> uhm sure I guess
39:19 <hsn> not like current
56:40 * Ysjoelfir is finally done with work today and is going to drive home
56:43 * Ysjoelfir is tired
00:21 <K> how did the takeover incident resolve, Ysjoelfir ?
00:40 <Ysjoelfir> hm?
00:53 <K> did you get to smack the curlpit in the face with fish?
01:13 <K> the deleted test data and lost script?
01:19 <Ysjoelfir> aaaah, that one!
01:44 <Ysjoelfir> it was a good friend of mine, acidentally. He's one of the GUI developers, so the first thing he does when starting his device is resetting it.
01:52 <Ysjoelfir> he didn't notice he connected to mine
02:19 <K> ah.
02:28 <Ysjoelfir> but he at least recreated the script (which took me four days) for me in like 10 minutes.
02:54 <K> ah.
03:22 <hsn> wat script what does it do
03:26 <Ysjoelfir> yeah. so not that big of a deal in hindsight, though it pissed me off yesterday :P
03:40 <Ysjoelfir> calculating calibration values out of measured values, hsn
03:46 <Ysjoelfir> basically for self calibration/adjustment
03:51 <Ysjoelfir> but I'm off now. later :)
03:55 <hsn> nice
03:57 <hsn> bye
03:59 <hsn> safe drive
52:49 <Nero_> watching game jam people work or vlog made me realize how much of game jams seems to not be game design or programming but just knowing how the f*** unity works
25:15 <rust_collector> wheee! todays work is done-ish
27:20 <rust_collector> so now it is time for spaghetti and meatballs
04:10 <hsn> https://www.instagram.com/p/CC-pouEDMdP/?igshid=rdqzvu5n00ka
04:43 <Nero_> thats cute I guess
05:50 <rust_collector> cute? a picture of mr tesla, after "they" cut him in half?
06:08 <rust_collector> well... I guess
06:26 <Nero_> I meant, cute in the sense of ´fun little project for those who are into that´
06:31 <Nero_> in almost a dismissive tone
06:40 <Nero_> because I´m an asshole
06:46 <rust_collector> I heard that tone
08:11 <rust_collector> so, I started up the old computer out in the garage. I do not think it has been on in a year or so
08:35 <rust_collector> it is still slow, but it updated, and seems to work fine
16:54 <Ysjoelfir> re
17:08 <rust_collector> ok... so?
17:22 <Ysjoelfir> grabbing the grinder and the welder now
17:24 <Ysjoelfir> wish me luck
17:36 <Ysjoelfir> if I never return I somehow managed to kill myself
17:43 <rust_collector> luck you
18:02 <Ysjoelfir> No idea if it was the best Idea to take a shower before doing that though
18:13 <Ysjoelfir> otoh, I like showering, so that might be a benefit
18:19 <rust_collector> eeh, well, you did not get any worse
23:58 <rust_collector> heh. I looked in the file manager, and... there was a device there, and it had the windows install stuff on it. So I went to look for the usb, not in the front... not in the back...
29:47 <Ampera> hullo rust_collector, how are you doing
33:39 <rust_collector> hi Ampera
33:48 <rust_collector> i am superawesome, as always
33:56 <Ampera> that's good
35:26 <rust_collector> I was getting a bit worried, with the invisible usb stick...
36:06 <rust_collector> until I remembered the image mounted, so it was just a file
37:00 <Nero_> ah, I was gonna suggest checking if there wasn´t a drive on the inside. Lots of servers and workstations have internal USB ports to have restore/boot/whatever drives plugge in via USB
38:00 <Ampera> Nero_, is this your first time on the austnet channel?
38:11 <Nero_> Did I do something wrong?
38:32 <Ampera> Yes, you didn't wear the correct hat :P
38:38 <Ampera> no, I'm just wondering if you've been here before
38:51 <rust_collector> I am going to do a new install on the garage-confuser.
38:58 <rust_collector> but not today
39:06 * Ampera hugs rust_collector into next friday
39:47 <rust_collector> hmmm. that is a serious hug
39:47 <Nero_> Ampera, no, for some reason my IP was part of a blacklist, but Ysjoelfir helped me fix it
40:11 <Ampera> I saw
40:17 <Ampera> well nice to have you here then
41:15 <rust_collector> to have you here, than on the main channel, I guess
41:22 <rust_collector> maybe later
42:27 <rust_collector> ooh, invisible text too, maybe I should go to bed
01:01 <Ysjoelfir> re
02:31 <Ysjoelfir> rust_collector, I enjoy the welder very much, its a nice unit and the flux core wire (in lack of gas...) is doing pretty good. But I HATE the mains fuse of this room.
02:44 <rust_collector> HAH!
03:15 <rust_collector> so you have 3 strands of fluxcore fuse now?
03:40 <Ysjoelfir> sadly taping the damn fuse to the on position didn't help ;P
03:52 <rust_collector> oh, a breaker
04:24 <rust_collector> no, they thought of people like you, when they designed it
04:32 <Ysjoelfir> yeah. its somehow stupid if you finally figured out how the settings work together when you start a new spot and poof.
04:39 <Ysjoelfir> room dark.
04:44 <Ysjoelfir> and full of smoke from the flux
04:48 <Ysjoelfir> but thats to be expected
05:02 <rust_collector> yep, it is pretty dirty stuff
05:17 <Ysjoelfir> never the less, it was fun, and I now ordered a breaker with a slower characteristic
06:20 <rust_collector> just weld the contacts...
06:29 <Ysjoelfir> hehe
07:38 <rust_collector> you know that saying, about hammers and welding
09:14 <Ysjoelfir> hm?
09:36 <rust_collector> if you have a hammer, and something words words
10:04 <Ysjoelfir> then no, I don't :D
10:16 <rust_collector> if you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
10:33 <rust_collector> if you have a welder, everything looks like anything
10:37 <Ysjoelfir> I know that one, but were is the welder
10:37 <Ysjoelfir> oh
10:39 <Ysjoelfir> ah
10:40 <Ysjoelfir> :D
15:48 <Ysjoelfir> https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/61CP%2Bvof04L._AC_SL1001_.jpg
15:56 <Ysjoelfir> So it restores my eyesight with every use? cool!
16:46 <rust_collector> well, you know... that is pure bullshit
17:04 <rust_collector> it does not dim to protect your eyes
17:16 <Ysjoelfir> it dims so that you can see anything at all XD
17:25 <rust_collector> pretty much
18:08 <Ysjoelfir> before I got a cheap automatic helmet "way back" I tried using gas welding goggles. bad idea.
18:58 <rust_collector> well, they should also block uv pretty well
19:11 <Nero_> you just need glass to block UV
19:16 <rust_collector> right
19:38 <Nero_> which is why all those 100% UV blocking sunglasses are kinda silly, no shit, my regular glasses *also* block UV
19:50 <Ysjoelfir> sure, they were way to lightly tinted. you got blinded instantly
19:50 <hsn> the shields that have auto adjust green are expensive
20:09 <rust_collector> it is just very uncomfortable to weld with a sheet of glass
20:14 <Nero_> yes
20:23 <Nero_> and you still have too much visible light
20:25 <hsn> green not sure but i think they were green
20:43 <Nero_> the self-dimming ones are really smart though, I think they just use the power of the solar cell to dim the LCD inside
21:18 <rust_collector> I am not sure if it uses the battery power, or the solar cell
22:07 <rust_collector> they tend to have a little button cell in them
23:41 <hsn> so Ysjoelfir what welding u tried stick ?
24:01 <Ysjoelfir> no, flux core MIG
24:10 <Ysjoelfir> but the welcher can also do stick
24:17 <hsn> cool
24:19 <rust_collector> it is just a very long skinny stick
24:29 <Ysjoelfir> thats... actually not wrong
25:04 <hsn> gmaw its calledM
25:06 <hsn> ?
25:29 <rust_collector> I call it robert
25:56 <hsn> xD
26:00 <hsn> why
26:49 <rust_collector> well, why not? you parents found a name for you, and you don't ask why they did that?
27:11 <rust_collector> well, maybe you would, if they called you gmaw
36:10 <hsn> https://www.instagram.com/p/CCwtnI7BMGq/?igshid=192fklj77rmdx
36:39 <hsn> yes
36:46 <hsn> robert the 14th
38:07 <rust_collector> ok, i guess it is nap time. have fun
38:45 <hsn> https://www.instagram.com/p/CCd0qYajNFF/?igshid=19761pktyaqmm
38:59 <hsn> enjoy ur knap

13:30 <hsn> i wanna do this for fun
14:30 <Ysjoelfir> yeah, I saw him.
14:49 <Ysjoelfir> the idea is basically like we did back in the days with head drums on VCRs, just way smaller and faster :)
15:17 <coppice> Who wants a PCB motor, when its PCBs that are turning the frogs gay

38:40 <Nero> just a few more hours until I know if I can head to the lab today
39:07 * Ysjoelfir is at work and with that technically in a lab
39:12 * Ysjoelfir invites Nero to join
39:28 <Nero> I really shouldn´t until I know for sure my sister doesn´t have COVID :p

10:36 * Ysjoelfir hides from everyone that has corona (@ Nero)
10:58 <Ysjoelfir> would be bad if we would get stopped at the danish border in 1.5 weeks xD
15:50 <Nero> hahaha :p
16:11 <Nero> and ofcourse this doesn´t happen in the 3 months that I don´t have to be at work anyways ,but in the 2-3 weeks where it´s measurement crunch time
17:04 <Ysjoelfir> thats great, isn't it? XD
17:12 <Nero> yes
17:18 <Nero> and I just got new toys in the lab too :(
18:54 <Ysjoelfir> aww, thats nasty :D knowing there are goodies and maybe not being able to try them
19:15 <Ysjoelfir> I'm waiting for new goodies, too, but probably not the kind you might be interested in^^
19:24 * DogWomble peers in
19:30 <Ysjoelfir> moin doggy
19:33 <steve30> o/
19:45 <Nero> I mean goddies might not be a right term, as it´s an entire VNA xd but sure, goodies work
19:53 * DogWomble waves
20:01 <Ysjoelfir> its good, isn't it? :P so its a goodie^^
20:40 <Ysjoelfir> hi steve30
21:02 <Nero> well, you got me there, Ysjoelfir
21:10 <Ysjoelfir> :)
23:33 <Ysjoelfir> so today my new tires for the BMW should arrive. I hope I'll be able to put those on this weekend :D
23:43 <DogWomble> yay tires :D
23:57 <Ysjoelfir> which would mean I can bring that thing to the TÜV and drive it next month! yay!
23:58 <steve30> I'm going to see someone for a coffee this morning
24:00 <Nero> Tires can be usefull
24:07 <DogWomble> ooh nice steve30
24:09 <DogWomble> are they cute? :P
24:37 <steve30> I pondered getting some new tyres for my bike this year, but I haven't bothered, and have managed to be puncture free for some time
24:43 <DogWomble> Nero, i kinda got excited when i fixed up the tyres on my mountain bike a few nmonths back :OP
25:32 <Nero> I should really make an appointment with the garage to have my car checked up, and mayb, just maybe, finally put on my summer tires
25:56 <Ysjoelfir> garage. pff. :P
28:19 <Nero> Well, I´m not gonna do it myself so :p I probably could, I´m sure I could figure it out, but I rather spend my time in a usefull way and have a guy do it for me
31:14 <Nero> fuck
31:15 <Nero> my
31:16 <Nero> life
31:20 <Nero> my sister tested positive
31:21 <Ysjoelfir> true. but you yould need money for that
31:27 <Ysjoelfir> argh :X
31:34 <Ysjoelfir> so no vna now? :(
31:38 <DogWomble> is this covid?
32:11 <Nero> yes
32:25 * Ysjoelfir distances from Nero
32:33 * Ysjoelfir does that socially
32:51 <DogWomble> time to build a box fortresss with an endless supply of gaming computers to shield you from the 'rona
32:53 * steve30 passes Nero a McAffee CD as a precaution
33:03 <DogWomble> ewww McAfee
33:36 <DogWomble> though to your credit, you didn't mentino roton's
11:37 <hsn> http://news.mit.edu/2020/integrated-lightwave-electronics-0723
12:19 <hsn> Nero its fine .. hope she gets better soon
12:49 <Nero> MIT overselling their work as usual
13:13 <hsn> thats part of the eco edu system
13:34 <Nero> (I work at a similar high-ranking reserach group within microelectronics so I´m very much aware :p)
25:50 * Ysjoelfir would like to work in a high selling group and get high salary
26:07 <Nero> Alas, being just a PhD, my salary does not scale with the quality of my work
26:29 <Ysjoelfir> Being just a Bachelor mine doesn't either
27:05 <Nero> hehe, I rather meant, during our PhD program, we just get paid the same regardless, based on gouvernment tables of wage
27:20 <Ysjoelfir> I thought so :)
28:21 <coppice> Nero: nobody's salary scales with the quality of their work
28:41 <Ysjoelfir> except from T3sl4's :P
28:59 <Ysjoelfir> or basically every freelancer (if he does it right)
29:43 <coppice> Over my working life there was an almost inverse relationship between how innovative/hard working I was and the pay I was getting
30:17 <Ysjoelfir> I noticed a simmilar relation
30:48 <steve30> Jobs suck. They eat into valuable coffee drinking time.
30:56 <Ysjoelfir> the stuff I do now is pretty basic and I get an ok pay, but the job I actually learnt was hard, dirty, exhausting, and I got basically nothing
31:19 <Ysjoelfir> steve30, so what would you suggest for a living? :D Having mote tea drinking time would be beneficial
32:34 <steve30> Just sit on other people's lap, meow innocently, and hope they provide coffee :D
32:42 <steve30> (or tea if you prefer)
33:07 <Ysjoelfir> thats a good start, but how could that pay my living? :D
33:43 <coppice> Ysjoelfir: have you considered a career in highway robbery? It seems to be working out well for some companies
34:54 <Ysjoelfir> I thought about a carreer in parking space "protection", as that seems to be pretty modern right now
35:22 <Ysjoelfir> getting roughly 26€ per person that forgot to put out his parking disc when he went shopping seems pretty lucrative
49:34 <hsn> Ysjoelfir,
49:40 <hsn> https://snipboard.io/WS5eQb.jpg
49:45 <Ysjoelfir> thats me
49:54 <Ysjoelfir> hehe
50:09 <Ysjoelfir> they're building a tank? :P
50:54 <hsn> i was watching the old videos .. they smell
51:00 <hsn> smell welding ..

00:16 <rust_collector> ok
00:22 <rust_collector> one week older
00:32 <Ysjoelfir> huh?
14:45 <Ysjoelfir> I decided to put a bit of paint onto the Klappfix in the next days. might look nicer than the rust, espeically on the wheels
15:56 <rust_collector> well, maybe get one of those wire brushes for the grinder... at least for the wheels.
16:16 <Ysjoelfir> that was the plan before I add the paint :P
16:31 <Ysjoelfir> even though I got "direct on rust" paint, I don'T trust those "direct on rust" claims
16:46 <rust_collector> and a sand blaster, for those alltheotherthings
17:05 <Ysjoelfir> I have that, but I can't use it in the garage^^
17:24 <rust_collector> take it upstairs
17:31 <Ysjoelfir> how?
17:34 <K> take it to the park!
17:39 <Ysjoelfir> I can't lift 200 kilos :D
17:45 <rust_collector> I don't care how you do it
17:53 <Ysjoelfir> I live in Frankfurt. There aren't any parks here, K ;P
17:55 <rust_collector> uuh, why not?
18:10 <Ysjoelfir> because.
18:26 <rust_collector> 200kg is not that much
18:38 <K> which one?
19:00 <K> the am Main one's wiki page clearly shows some trees
19:08 <rust_collector> the one not on oder
19:41 <Ysjoelfir> the one on main^^ and sure we have, but its still a nasty city
20:06 <K> haven't been to neither Frankfurt
22:52 <rust_collector> have you been in klagenfurt?
23:50 <K> no
24:02 <K> i've been in berlin, hamburg and munich
27:20 <coppice> I've been to Frankfurt a few times. The airport is OK, I've never seen the rest
27:22 <Nero> welp, have to stay home 14 days regardless of test result
27:56 <K> yay!
28:19 <Nero> bye-bye ISSCC
28:38 <rust_collector> I am thinking about going shopping in sweden
29:44 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: Getting NASA’s Perseverance Mars Rover to the Launch Pad https://t.co/tb6C6ebAiT
31:55 <K> why bye-bye?
32:32 <Nero> Because now I can´t measure the chip/system I´ve been part of designing the entire last year or so, and there is no way we can make submission deadline if we can´t get measurements done in the next few weeks
33:04 <Nero> and the first results we got last week were *really* promising, 3-4 times faster than state-of-the-art, so we had a really good chance of actually making it
34:07 <K> dang
34:52 <K> ask for extension?
35:03 <K> cant hit you in the face over the internet, you konw
35:04 <coppice> Is ISSCC going to take place?
35:50 <Nero> A colleague of mine is also getting tested, and we are considering the possibility of moving all equipment to my garage if we both end up testing positive... But that will be a tough one to sell ´Hey boss, you know, that two-million-or-so-bucks test setup, do you mind if we shuv it in the back of my car and take it home for a few weeks?´
36:11 <Nero> I think so coppice, at the very least in virtual form, which is really kinda pointless because you go there for networking, but still you can say ´I made ISSCC´
36:48 <coppice> These days you go there to die
36:58 <K> asking for extension is not an option?
37:24 <Nero> I don´t think ISSCC is gonna be generous enough to give an extension
37:41 <Nero> But I guess it doesn´t hurt to ask
38:52 <coppice> A lot of the stuff at ISSCC puzzles me. Companies seem to reveal a lot of information I normally expect them to keep quiet about
40:16 <Nero> yes, that is true
40:25 <Nero> but I think because ISSCC doesn´t really require you to give much details
40:58 <Nero> so if anything, it´s almost a place to come flex your progress, knowing that by the time your competition can use the information you share there, it will be too late for it to give them an edge
42:02 <coppice> When colleagues read ISSCC papers and say "X is achieving Y. We'd better look at that" is seems to be giving away important clues. Of course it might be the paper is a lie intended to put competitors off the scent
58:11 <Halcyon> I swear Tabasco gets more firey they older it is
58:16 <Halcyon> And it's not that hot to begin with
59:19 <K> maybe it is mould
59:35 <Halcyon> If it is, it's tasty
00:33 <rust_collector> I don't think mould tends to be very spicy. but that would be interesting
01:34 <Halcyon> I don't think mold would grow in Tabasco, since it's mostly vinegar
02:45 <rust_collector> ok, this is the 3rd garbage truck that has been here, since I got home...
03:11 <Halcyon> Does your street have a lot of trash?
03:42 <rust_collector> uhm, not my street. i do, but that goes on my trailer
05:10 <rust_collector> because of the recycling thing, and different bins, they have one truck picking up glass/metal, one for plastic, and so on, but they usually do not all come on the same day
05:23 <Halcyon> Yeh same as here, we have 3 bins
05:32 <Halcyon> But the recycling and the green waste bins alternate each week
07:28 <rust_collector> we have glass/metal, paper/cardboard, plastic, organic stuff (food and such) and one for whatever is left
13:12 <K> for potentially reusable body parts?
13:38 <Halcyon> Our plastic, metal and paper/cardboard go in the same bin
13:42 <Halcyon> It gets sorted later
13:50 <rust_collector> you do not throw away those. throw them in a pile downstairs, or make soup
14:49 <K> or aspic
14:49 <Nero> bleh
14:57 <rust_collector> no
15:10 <rust_collector> just no
15:18 <Nero> Tabasco is fermented, so it might be that the alcohol concentration goes up as it continues aging, disolving more capcasin from the emulsified particulates
18:11 <rust_collector> when you say it like that, it sounds like it could be why. Have you thought about getting into politics?
25:01 <Ysjoelfir> Nero is very good in describing things in a way that make them sound way more elaborate than they are :P Which is one thing I like. Probably because I tend to do that, too.
25:21 <rust_collector> I still feel like it is thursday
25:47 <Ysjoelfir> I feel like it's tuesday or something around there. I feel so damn tired x.x
26:08 <Ysjoelfir> also, I just learned that Deutschland changed the way you register a vehicle to a even more stupid thing
26:19 <rust_collector> yes, when you talk about that thing sticking out of the box shaped thing, the one that may or may not have a colour on it
26:35 <Nero> Nah, I think it´s just part of being in research. I am so used to very carefully stating the limits of whatever I make claims about because you have to in scientific work, and I don´t notice it myself sometimes
26:42 Join: Kanye ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
26:55 <Ysjoelfir> now its like "you need a recent inspection to register a vehicle", but to get an inspection you need to have the thing registered in the first place!
27:06 <Nero> It gets me into trouble all the time in comunities that aren´t at least closer to science/research in mindset, because they just think I´m annoying
27:07 <Halcyon> Nero: Good point, never thought of that
27:16 <Halcyon> (RE: Tabasco)
27:21 <Nero> but I guess you all also just think I´m annoying, only there is a higher probability of understanding why I am annoying
27:21 <rust_collector> hah
27:33 <Ysjoelfir> Nero - I know that "problem". Had to do that in my bachelors thesis (and tbh, I loved it :P )
27:35 <Ysjoelfir> lol :D
27:38 <Ysjoelfir> No, we like you
27:43 <Ysjoelfir> Also Hi Halcyon
27:48 <Ysjoelfir> Tabasco is nom
27:49 <Halcyon> Hey Ysjoelfir
27:57 <Halcyon> It is, especially on eggs
27:58 <Halcyon> :)
28:06 <Ysjoelfir> indeed!
28:07 <Ysjoelfir> but
28:17 <Ysjoelfir> did you try the thing only* germans do with eggs?
28:24 <Halcyon> No?
29:18 <K> give them to hedgehogs?
29:24 <rust_collector> stick them back into the chickens, because they were not laid at the correct time?
29:45 <rust_collector> no, that was the swiss, maybe
30:20 <K> not the correct shape
30:46 <rust_collector> i remember something about tabasco, beer, and cheese mixed up, and grilled on bread was nice-ish
31:02 <Halcyon> Interesting
31:11 <Halcyon> I'm waiting for Ysjoelfir to tell me what he does with eggs
31:25 <rust_collector> they do nothing with them
31:47 <rust_collector> there is eggs everywhere in germany. no one understands what they are
32:00 <Ysjoelfir> sry, workmate is standing in front of me
32:12 <rust_collector> tell him to fuck off
32:17 <Halcyon> Hahaha
32:29 <Halcyon> Doesn't he know you're on IRC? Gees, priorities
33:16 <K> https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1jMzHX1L2gK0jSZFmq6A7iXXac/2-In-1-Adjustable-Sprayer-Kettle-Plant-Watering-Irrigation-System-Water-Spray-Hand-held-Sprinkler-Pump.jpg_q50.jpg
33:26 <rust_collector> oh, the kinder eggs are german.. that has to have something to do with this
34:04 <rust_collector> K, ? do you need one?
34:13 <K> no, Ysjoelfir does
34:19 <rust_collector> or are you saying that is an egg?
34:31 Quit: Kanye ([email protected]) Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
34:32 <K> to deal with workmates
34:32 <rust_collector> oh yes, that is true
34:40 <Ysjoelfir> so. re. sry
34:46 <rust_collector> I did not remember you could fill those with acid
36:10 <Ysjoelfir> the thing we do with eggs is: put them into an egg holder, cut off the top ~1cm, eat that, get a small spoon and spoon out the egg piece by piece, while adding roughly one to 3 drops of Maggi liquid seasoning on each spoonfull off egg, Halcyon
36:33 <Halcyon> I'm assuming boiled egg?
36:52 <Ysjoelfir> yes. raw egg is a thing you eat/drink in Hamburg only :P
36:58 <Ysjoelfir> called "Sol-Ei" there
36:59 <Halcyon> This stuff? https://www.maggi.com.au/products/asian-sauces/seasoning
37:23 <Halcyon> Mmmm all of the E and C numbers :P
37:23 <Ysjoelfir> also known is "suggar egg", you put 2 to 3 tablespoons of sugar to the egg, beat it lightly and drink it. :X
37:36 <Ysjoelfir> no, wait.
37:44 <K> ur wierd.
38:00 <Ysjoelfir> https://de.toluna.com/dpolls_images/2019/04/16/801d38c7-3636-4994-9d3e-50cc8e28c3fc_x300.jpg
38:19 <rust_collector> except fot the maggi part, I have not heard anything unusual yet?
39:13 <Halcyon> Yeh same stuff
39:22 <Halcyon> The ingredients look the same
39:28 <Ysjoelfir> oh realy? :D
39:50 <Halcyon> It's basically soy but with MSG added
40:01 <Ysjoelfir> its basically liquid MSG, yes
40:12 <Ysjoelfir> a simmilar thing, more known internationally, is "Fondor"
40:25 <Halcyon> My local shops have MSG in crystal form.
40:29 <Ysjoelfir> MSG with salt, not liquid.
40:36 <rust_collector> but, as it is german, did they make a version with menthol?
40:42 <Ysjoelfir> xD
40:46 <Ysjoelfir> I doubt it
40:51 <Halcyon> MSG makes my nose itchy
41:32 <Ysjoelfir> you should still try that on egg once. its delicious. especially when your egg is just hard, like, the white is solid but the yolk is either runny or just... "creamy"
41:54 <Halcyon> Yeh I like my eggs soft boiled
41:54 <K> with ethanol
42:04 <Halcyon> 10 minutes in boiled water, off the heat.
42:47 <Ysjoelfir> I prefer them like that, too. But I use the steaming method
42:50 <rust_collector> perfect student dish. plop eggs in the kettle
43:11 <Halcyon> Like poached eggs?
43:15 <Ysjoelfir> no
43:23 <rust_collector> eew, no
43:23 <Ysjoelfir> regular eggs, but steamed, not cooked.
43:24 <Halcyon> I've never steamed eggs in the shell
43:26 <Ysjoelfir> like... that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPFHv5SKbZ4&t=93s
43:35 <Ysjoelfir> its a very reliable method
44:28 <Halcyon> I just bring a saucepan of water (with the eggs in from cold) to the boil, with about 1cm water over the eggs, once boiling, turn off the heat, cover for 10 minutes. Then remove and put eggs into a bath of ice water
44:31 <rust_collector> reliable... well... plopping in water is also reliable
45:06 <Halcyon> I tend not to plop my eggs in boiling water. It causes them to crack.
45:19 <Halcyon> I start both water and eggs from cold and bring the heat up
45:28 <K> you old ploppers!
45:34 <Ysjoelfir> with reliable I meant "producing very repeatable results" :)
46:16 <rust_collector> i tend to not eat eggs. but I also like them a bit more hard, so it gets easier
46:45 <Halcyon> Not even scrambled rust_collector with some feta cheese and avocado on toast?
47:15 <rust_collector> scrambled, sure, with that stuff in it, no, that would go in the bin here
47:37 <Halcyon> *gasp*
47:43 <Ysjoelfir> XD
48:41 <rust_collector> chives, egg, salt, pepper. I am ok with toast
48:52 <Halcyon> Sans salt and that sounds good
48:59 <Halcyon> We eat too much salt in food already
49:08 <rust_collector> nope
50:08 <rust_collector> we just have not found a way to use it, or neutralise it yet. we should eat more salt
50:36 <rust_collector> yes, that is like having a usb port implanted
54:15 <rust_collector> it is good, we just do not know how to use it yet, lol
07:20 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Retweet: Bullshit indeed! Looks like a telescopic antenna rod stuck on the top of an IR thermometer casing with a magic woo-woo knob on the back. Bonus points if goes ping. Betcha the government buys a 1000 of them. cc @thunderf00t :Which was quoting: ashtum: @eevblog I fund this in the YT just by its smell. Bullshit ! https://t.co/jWND9vRhsK
07:31 <Halcyon> Ysjoelfir, I'll keep an eye on PaulNath
07:32 <Nero> ffs
07:33 <Halcyon> Nash
07:40 <Nero> Is that an official EEVBlog forum thing
07:45 <Halcyon> So far he has onlt 2 posts, so hard to tell
07:58 <Halcyon> Nero: The tweets?
08:02 <Nero> yea
08:11 <Halcyon> Yes, it's linked into Dave's Twitter account
08:22 <Halcyon> Whenever he makes a tweet or retweets, it's broadcast here
08:22 <Ysjoelfir> yeah, but he added the link in the first post which is absolutely off topic
08:34 <Ysjoelfir> thats why I reported it to keep an eye onto him :)
08:39 <Halcyon> Thank :-)
08:41 <Halcyon> s
08:53 <Halcyon> Everytime you click that button, we all get an email :P
09:12 * Ysjoelfir goes back and clicks 120.000 times on the report button 0:-)
09:33 <Halcyon> :P
10:36 <Nero> Dave and I don´t really see eye-to-eye on a lot of things
11:02 <Halcyon> Ahh well, that's what makes society interesting I suppose?
11:07 <Halcyon> Don't have to agree with everyone
11:20 <Nero> I never said we had to :po
11:21 <Halcyon> For example, Ysjoelfir is a dirty kraut :P
11:30 <Halcyon> Love you Ysjoelfir
11:55 <Halcyon> What have you disagreed on Nero?
12:00 <Ysjoelfir> Just you wait, after WW3 is over we will rule over you! :P XD
12:20 <Halcyon> Hah, you say that, but I'm part of the Aryan race :P
12:30 <Ysjoelfir> thats pretty true^^
12:42 <Halcyon> I would be part of your clan
12:43 <rust_collector> and he is on an island, they might not notice
12:51 <Halcyon> Also true
13:05 <Ysjoelfir> (I always read "Ayran race" and be like: ewww, I hate Ayran. And why do they now make races with that!?)
13:19 <Nero> Halcyon, I dissagree with a lot of his methods and approach to ´debunking´. And in a lot of newer videos he seemed to make big statements about how stuff works and/or what matters and doesn´t in a design when it´s pretty evident he doesn´t know what he is talking abotu
13:57 <Halcyon> I'm not an EE, so I can't really argue one way or another with product design etc...
14:06 <Halcyon> But as for the maths behind solar etc... 100% agree with that
14:11 <Halcyon> That stuff is easy to verify
15:08 <Nero> yeah, but in those cases it´s not necessaraly the math, but rather the attitude. I´m firm believer that mocking and shunning is the worst way to try and make people realize something is wrong. If you tell them ´hahahahah you idiot for believing that what a fool´, you aren´t gonna convince them they are wrong, you just push them further away, regardless of you being right or not
15:19 <Ysjoelfir> I think that relates a bit to the topic we discussed a few weeks back, could that be?
15:35 <Nero> I think I have this inner biological clock that forces me to rant about him every few weeks or so
15:46 <Ysjoelfir> I meant that to Halcyon ^^
15:48 <Halcyon> That's the Aussie in him. We tend to mock
16:16 <Halcyon> When someone is being idiotic or stupid, we tend to call them out on it in a blunt way.
16:46 <Halcyon> For example: Batterizer :P
16:59 * Ysjoelfir still has a abtterizer somewhere
17:06 <Nero> could be :) And, as a final big point: I don´t like how he has changed. When you look at his early videos, he seemed to be more down-to-earth, he shared these little tidbits of knowledge from some experiences he had. But after a few years, he ran out of those, and started to become more and more sensationalist I think.
17:34 <Ysjoelfir> yep, now its indeed about what we discussed a few weeks back, Halcyon ^^
17:45 <Halcyon> I agree Nero. Most people change. I think a big part of it is that he has become more confident in producing content and it's now his livelihood.
18:20 <Halcyon> I'm not defending him or disagreeing with you. Just coming up with some possible explanations.
18:29 <Nero> but I´m never sure about that last part, because it could also just be that I didn´t know better. When I started watching him in the first few tens of videos, I was still in my first year of Uni (or even before that?) and I knew fuckall about electronics. Now I´m quite confident that (at least when it comes to RF/microwave/analog integrated circuits) I can run circles around him in terms of knowledge
18:49 <Halcyon> Big Clive is perhaps one person who has changed very little, but his content is set to a strict formula. He hardly ever deviates from it.
18:54 * Ampera kisses Halcyon 
18:58 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera
19:16 <rust_collector> always flames.... yes
19:21 <rust_collector> that works
19:43 <K> this is why "good news everyone! imma be full time youtuber no" makes me go "is this really wise?/ufff, pls dont fuck up"
19:51 <Halcyon> Nero: Quite possibly. Electronics is a massive field. It's impossible to know everything to a deep level. Same as in my industry. People specialise.
19:58 <Halcyon> There are always smarted people out there.
20:24 <Halcyon> *smarter
20:25 <Nero> Yes. I´m an idiot, for example :p I know nothing, except when I do
20:31 <Halcyon> I blame my typing on the vodka :P
20:39 <Halcyon> Nothing wrong with that Nero :P
20:43 <Halcyon> Welcome to my world
20:58 <rust_collector> yes, but why do the smarter people always live in asia, and grow vegetables
21:06 <Nero> In my case they don´t really
21:13 <Halcyon> That's racist rust_collector
21:18 <rust_collector> so?
21:21 <Halcyon> :P
21:22 <Ampera> well I am less tired today than I was yesterday
21:28 <rust_collector> hi Ampera
21:30 <Halcyon> And by Asia, you mean Japan right?
21:31 <Halcyon> :P
21:36 <Ampera> hi rust_collector how are you doing
21:59 <rust_collector> I am being racist, I am told, so it is going pretty well, so far
22:43 <rust_collector> not japan, no. probably in the middle of a forest in.. uhm. one of those countries down there
22:44 <Halcyon> Apparently something I ordered from Ikea has been delivered?!
22:46 <Nero> Main competition I have in my field: MIT, UCLA, JPL, Gothenburg, Nokia Bell Labs, Samsung, Erricson, I think
22:53 <Halcyon> As far as I know, I'm not waiting on anything

25:16 <Watcher> Hello everybody
25:26 * Ampera watches the Watcher 
25:39 <Halcyon> Hm, I'm guessing that was a super delayed email as I got that order back in February
26:03 <rust_collector> someone turned the mail server back on, I guess
26:04 <Halcyon> Hey Watcher
27:20 <Halcyon> I was quietly hoping it was an actual order I'd forgotten about. I love getting packages that I don't remember ordering :P
27:36 <Ampera> Halcyon, that's illegal in most countries
27:48 <rust_collector> you do not have a habit of going on ebay when you are drinking, I guess?
28:00 <Halcyon> Nah I'm usually pretty good
28:11 <Ampera> ebay isn't dangerous
28:12 <Halcyon> Although I haven't checked out the vintage computing section for a while....
28:16 <Ampera> it's cragslist that's dangerous
28:40 <Halcyon> Isn't Craiglist mostly used for escort services and getting mugged?
28:42 <rust_collector> I know a guy who had a combine delivered, which he did not remember ordering
28:45 <Ysjoelfir> I'm happy that there most probably won't be that good mobile connection when I'm in the middle of nowhere in norway in a little tent caravan and a refridgerator box full of alcohol....
29:08 <Ampera> Halcyon, yes, but also there are some neat computer things on it
29:11 <Halcyon> Ysjoelfir: Sounds like my kind of vacation
29:17 <Ampera> at least it's comedic what people put on there
29:22 <Ampera> like a wine fridge in the computer section
29:33 <Ampera> or a smashed apple monitor from 2003 for 25 bucks
29:38 <Halcyon> Hah
30:05 <Ysjoelfir> Halcyon - join us :) more drivers would be helpfull :P
30:06 Quit: Watcher ([email protected]) Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
30:07 <Ampera> or a sandy bridge i3 laptop for 170 bucks
30:17 <Ysjoelfir> there is still space in the tent and my gay friend is single :P
30:23 <Halcyon> Is he cute?
30:38 <Ampera> oooo, Tandy 1000 series machine with monitor and accessories
30:54 <Ampera> 350 bucks more than what I'd spend on a whim for that, but neat
31:03 <rust_collector> If you feel like seeing a lot, you can go north, then to the right, and down a bit, and look at finland-land
31:06 <Ampera> woah
31:13 <Ysjoelfir> yes, I think so, Halcyon
31:13 <Ampera> a lot of three coleco adams
31:19 Join: Watcher ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
31:25 <Halcyon> I'll go to Finland eventually, I have family there I should visit
31:28 <Halcyon> Ysjoelfir: Pics?
31:40 <Ysjoelfir> rust_collector - I think I might have not enough time for that :D
31:42 <Halcyon> Welcome back Watcher
31:46 <rust_collector> you do
31:47 <Ysjoelfir> Halcyon... erm... wait
31:50 * Ampera whacks Halcyon with the no horny bat
32:00 <Halcyon> Calm down Ampera, I didn't ask for dick pics
32:21 <Ampera> you just did, surreptitiously
32:25 <Halcyon> BRB, need to refresh my beverage

32:41 <Ampera> blech
32:57 <Ysjoelfir> Judge for yourself Halcyon :D https://www.linkedin.com/in/lars-georg-schneider/
33:39 <Ampera> someone is selling a time machine
34:03 <Halcyon> Argh, it's asking me to sign in
34:26 <Ysjoelfir> then you should do that :D
34:28 <Ampera> the classic bullshit is people selling apple devices for far far more than they're worth
34:45 <Halcyon> That's Apple even when it's brand new
34:58 <Nero> Apple is a strange place
35:03 <Ampera> TI-99/4A for 79 bucks
35:04 <Ampera> not bad
35:07 <Halcyon> Ysjoelfir, I don't have an account
35:07 <rust_collector> it is not asking me to log in, it is just an anti robot check
35:14 <Watcher> @Ampera how much for the time machinne?
35:29 <Halcyon> Oh now it works
35:33 <Ampera> Watcher, no price listed, presumably you make an offer
35:35 <Ysjoelfir> heh
35:42 <rust_collector> how long does it take to ship a time machine?
36:04 <rust_collector> I mean, he should have shipped it some time ago
36:30 <Halcyon> Ysjoelfir, yeh not bad. I like nerdy guys. Although he needs to cut his hair
36:46 <Ampera> Someone wants 175 bucks for a dual core vista era Athlon, Compaq branded
36:52 <Halcyon> Ew
36:56 <Ampera> the metal in the case is probably worth more than that
37:09 <Watcher> bid 1000 it is it worth you can buy stuff in the past for cheap and sell it now for the top price because it is rare it is worth the money
37:09 <Ysjoelfir> hehe :D so you will join us on our task to visit rust_collector?
37:19 <Halcyon> I wish I could
37:30 <Halcyon> (Is your mate a top or a bottom?)
37:31 <Halcyon> :P
37:43 <Ysjoelfir> thats a good question. let me ask
37:46 <Halcyon> Hahaha
38:05 <Halcyon> You're my favourite type of straight person Ysjoelfir, you get all involved.
38:21 <K> he is all hands-on!
38:27 <Ampera> my favourite type of straight person is a dead one
38:28 <Halcyon> Hahah yas!
38:35 <Ampera> see, Halcyon agrees
38:42 <Halcyon> Not with you dickhead :P
38:45 <rust_collector> if you show up here, I can make his hair shorter
38:48 * Ampera smacks Halcyon with the head of a dick
38:59 <Ysjoelfir> xD
39:03 <Halcyon> Besides, the difference between most straight guys and a gay guy is a 6-pack of beer
39:06 <K> someones grumpy
39:31 <Ampera> someone wants 375 bucks for a Pentium 4 Dell grey box
39:56 <rust_collector> I have a no-name p4, I want 2000 for it
40:14 <Halcyon> Oooh those MO disk units I've been eyeing off have gotten way cheaper
40:20 <Halcyon> Looks like the Aussie dollar is working again
40:28 <rust_collector> mo disk?
40:38 <Halcyon> Magneto-optical
40:38 <Ysjoelfir> moooooooh discs
40:49 <rust_collector> MOOOO!

41:52 <Halcyon> I have a box full of brand new discs to go with it. Work were throwing them out.
41:55 <Ampera> if I had a car I'd be getting in to go get it
42:35 <rust_collector> that cow disk is 75, and 90 in shipping, lol that is why I never get anything from us of a
42:38 <Ampera> woah
42:49 <Ampera> a lot of 15 RX 580's for 1300 bucks
42:55 <Ampera> if I was retarded that'd be a good deal
43:34 <Ampera> oh neat, someone is planning on paying me six dollars to take 6 VGA cables of their hands
43:43 <Ampera> oh wait, no I have to pay them
43:45 <Ampera> that's dumb
44:03 <rust_collector> that would be... unusual
44:49 <Halcyon> Ampera, when you come here, leave plenty of room in your suitcase, I'll let you raid my storeroom
45:07 <rust_collector> loads of vga cables
45:09 <Ampera> Halcyon, I already told you, my storeroom is already full of little boys I don't need more
45:17 <Halcyon> Hah
45:28 <Ampera> it's not like they're hard to find, the little buggers are all over the place
45:53 <Halcyon> Mmmm disks: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Bulk-Amiga-500-Games-And-Software-Huge-Lot/333663911900

48:06 <Ampera> that's a bid, but excellent deal
48:15 <Ampera> smoothskin macs are fucking ridiculous these days
48:26 <Halcyon> Smoothskin?

49:19 <Halcyon> Aww hell yeh: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Sharp-PC-7000-Vintage-Luggable-XT-Computer/254657027178
49:26 <Halcyon> I could even go pick that up
50:19 <Ampera> starting bid at 250 AUD?
50:26 <Ampera> I know your dollar is worthless, but really?
50:46 <Halcyon> Hell yeh, Sharp computers are getting pretty rare these days
51:00 <Halcyon> Oh that same seller has an NEC clone of the TRS-80
51:03 <rust_collector> I think I will have a nap. laterrrr...
51:09 <Halcyon> Cya rust_collector
51:32 <Ampera> The antiques section of Craigslist is always neat though
53:51 <Halcyon> There's a Commodore SX 64
53:57 <Halcyon> Expensive though
54:25 <Watcher> @Amepera and the acton closed over 14 hours
54:42 <Ampera> If I'm going to be buying a new PC off ebay it'd be a 386
54:57 <Ampera> but I'd need to buy pretty much every part for it, and that'd be more money than I'm willing to spend on that anymore
55:54 <Halcyon> I think I have some 386 boards
57:16 <Ampera> I'll keep that in mind, but I'd need RAM, a CPU, FPU, PSU, case, HDD, a 5.25 FDD
57:24 <Ampera> I have a VGA card I could use, along with an I/O card
57:31 <Halcyon> I have RAM and drives too
57:38 <Ampera> :P
57:44 <Ampera> I'll have to raid your storeroom at some point then
00:27 <Halcyon> Hahahah: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/VINTAGE-DELTACOM-PC-INTEL-486/114267175469
00:37 <Halcyon> A generic 486 for $4000
00:50 <Halcyon> Judging by the location, this seller is Lebanese
