18:55 <Nothing\> hola
19:00 <Halcyon> Morning
19:05 <Halcyon> Oh shit, it's afternoon
19:17 <Nothing\> it's 8ish pm here
19:49 <Nothing\> man i was looking for high value inductors
19:57 <Nothing\> apparently walmart sells 10h chokes
20:15 <Nothing\> cuz that was like one of the first hits, a 10h choke from walmart canada
20:21 * T3sl4 hugs Nothing\
20:31 <T3sl4> hammond?
20:37 <Nothing\> they also had a .50cal ammo box for some reason. even though our walmarts don't sell guns or anything
20:38 <arch> damn, dat aesthetic: https://64.media.tumblr.com/5228d1faa67c7a8a3d11e1bdbde32b41/tumblr_pafot7akPA1qck43so1_1280.jpg
20:42 * Nothing\ hugs T3sl4 <3 <3 <3
20:55 <T3sl4> <3
21:01 <T3sl4> arch, nice
21:04 <arch> makes me feel like i've been teleported back to the 80s, even though i wasn't even born then
21:08 <Nothing\> https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/Fixed-Inductors-CHOKE-10H-200MA/PRD6RTRNXBIJ1R9
21:16 <Nothing\> lol wtf it's listed under firearm components
21:26 <T3sl4> firearm components LUL
21:58 <Nothing\> maybe if you're making a rail gun lol
22:02 <arch> true that
22:08 <Nothing\> but i don't think railguns are technically firearms
22:13 <Nothing\> i forget how that works
22:45 <Nothing\> like i know they sell some air rifles with large calibers and supersonic muzzle velocities. So the effect would be exactly the same as a real gun
22:52 <Nothing\> regardless of what the propellant is
23:16 <T3sl4> they do tend to release a lot of fire when they do their thing
23:20 <T3sl4> legally speaking, shrug
23:40 <Nothing\> holy shit
23:57 <Nothing\> yeah, i was just looking. this site's got airguns with a .45 caliber
24:15 <Nothing\> normally they're about half the size of a .22
24:23 <Nothing\> i forget the exact caliber
24:57 <Nothing\> T3sl4, yeah i don't know if firearm refers to just guns that use gun powder cartridges, or any type of gun
25:27 <Nothing\> i think standarda airgun caliber is .113 isn't it
25:46 <Nothing\> ah .177
26:08 <Nothing\> damn caliber sizes, why can't you just use mm like everyone else
26:59 <T3sl4> .354 does
27:09 <Nothing\> it's like i was looking at normal blood levels of testosterone last night and it was an american website so the units were nanograms per deciliter
27:24 <Nothing\> what the hell kind of units are those
28:14 <Nothing\> here, at least for blood sugar we use millimoles per liter
28:23 <Nothing\> units you could set your watch to
29:11 <Nothing\> heh i found the greatest toy for my cat. it's just a strip of cardboard i cut off of a case of soda and put a curl on with the edge of the scissors
29:48 * T3sl4 hands Nothing\ a shiny
29:57 <Nothing\> but cat's been going nuts over it. carrying it around in her mouth everywhere. lol she keeps running from us when we come near her cuz she thinks she's in trouble for getting it and we're gonna take it away from her
30:29 <Nothing\> lol T3sl4 i did one experiment where i covered part of the floor in Al foil to see if my cat would walk on it
30:38 <Nothing\> not only did he walk on it, he played on it
31:17 <Nothing\> he absoutely loved it. I guess it stimulates so many senses at once. But I always heard cats won't walk on Al foil
31:34 <Nothing\> my cats also don't care about cucumbers. I had to try that one on them.
31:43 <T3sl4> it's like the cucumber prank, some jump some dont'
32:13 <Nothing\> yeah, it seems like with the cucumber videos they more surprise the cat with it
32:30 <Nothing\> like sorta put it behind the cat when they're eating and then let the cat discover it
36:59 * Ampera hugs Nothing\ 
37:02 <Ampera> how are you doing
37:57 <T3sl4> hi-mpera
38:34 <Nothing\> hey man
38:37 <Nothing\> i'm doing alright
38:46 <Nothing\> still have to poop and crampy from it, but otherwise good
39:01 <Ampera> sounds like shit
39:12 <T3sl4> 💩
39:16 <Nothing\> and better now that i just got a message from my aunt saying she's got a bunch of towers and computer stuff from my uncle's things after he passed away
39:25 <Ampera> neat
39:29 <Nothing\> so i told her i can have a look at what she's got and take anything interesting
39:48 <Nothing\> Ampera, did i tell you about the textbooks i got from her?
40:05 <Nothing\> that was an amazing find
41:04 <Nothing\> my cousin got her PhD in some field relating to biotech. So she had all of these textbooks leftover and said I could have them. Only problem is I can only read about one or two pages at a time before i start falling asleep.
41:31 <Nothing\> I just can't read without falling asleep for some reason. Same with playing on a phone or portable console.
42:41 <Nothing\> oh yay, they're upgrading our covid status from orange to red, one step away from grey which is full lockwdown
42:52 <Nothing\> which the whole toronto area's in right now.
43:10 <Nothing\> seems like every day we break the record for the most cases in one day
43:21 <Ampera> it's boring
43:24 <Ampera> I want more people to die faster
43:27 <Ampera> covid is so slow
43:30 <Nothing\> lol
43:37 <Nothing\> bring back small pox
43:44 <Ampera> fuck that
43:47 <Ampera> we need largepox
43:57 <Nothing\> most people aren't even vaccinated against smallpox anymore
44:07 <Nothing\> since it's been eradicated, there's no need
44:26 <Nothing\> but i found it interesting that a smallpox vaccine is quite different from other vaccines
44:55 <Nothing\> what they do is they prick your upper arm with a needle that has the vaccine on it
45:42 <Nothing\> then over the course of a few days, a single smallpox pock will appear and turn into a blister and basically take the course of any other small pox lesion
46:03 <Nothing\> then that heals, leaving a classic scar on the upper arm and the person is immune
46:28 <Nothing\> my mom had one, so you can see she has a scar about half an inch across on her one upper arm from it
46:29 <T3sl4> is that still the old school cowpox formulation?
46:44 <Nothing\> nah they've made it better since then
47:36 <Nothing\> i'm not sure what they use exactly, but usually for vaccines it's a weakened version of the virus, or some some proteins from the virus so your body's able to recognize the virus immediately on contact and take swift action
48:13 <T3sl4> which is what the covid vaccine is, pieces of the spike proteins more or less
48:29 <Nothing\> it's funny though, i've always called it covid-19 cuz that sounds like it's a more proper name than just "the corona virus" but apparently covid 19 is only the name of the disease, not the virus itself
48:44 <Nothing\> it stands for corona virus disease 2019
48:57 <T3sl4> coronaviruses are a big family after all
49:13 <Nothing\> yup, even members of the common cold are corona viruses
49:21 <coppice> The virus is "SARS 2 - the sequel"
49:26 <Nothing\> yeah
49:34 <Nothing\> sars cov-2
49:47 <Nothing\> or sars 2: electric boogaloo
50:19 <coppice> When Mercutio says "A pox on both your houses" I wonder exactly which pox Shakespeare had in mind
50:43 <T3sl4> there were so many to choose from back then
50:45 <Nothing\> i read recently that they're not even sure shakespear existed
50:54 <Nothing\> also that he never once spelled his name the way we do
51:10 <Ampera> nothing existed before last thursday
51:22 <Nothing\> indeed i did
51:26 <Nothing\> :P
51:33 <coppice> Nothing\: people who claim shakespeare didn't exist are just elitist arseholes
51:54 <Nothing\> coppice, yeah i can't say i know enough about it to form an opinion on it
52:11 <Nothing\> i also read just last night that traces of coca leaves were found in his backyard
52:50 <coppice> its mostly people who can't accept that a lower middle class guy from a family of small business owners could be the greatest at something
53:36 <Nothing\> it happens
53:50 <Ampera> that's silly, poor people aren't capable of doing things
53:55 <Ampera> if they were, they wouldn't be poor
54:15 <Ampera> and they wouldn't have been born in a filthy lower class
55:06 <arch> shakespeare's literature is an utter waste of time for education
55:17 <coppice> some people would rather think Kit Marlowe really wrote Shakespeare's works, and he was only a kit of parts
55:27 <Ampera> arch, you're just upset because you can't read :P
55:34 <T3sl4> arch: jojo is an utter waste of time
55:42 * arch rumbles menacingly at T3sl4 
55:54 <Ampera> jojo?

10:49 <Nothing\> you seem to like playing saints row
10:56 <Ampera> oh right I have you on steam
11:10 <Nothing\> lol i was trying to confuse you
11:14 <Ampera> yeah I've played it to death, but it's enough to be mildly amusing
11:49 <Nothing\> i know what you mean, one of those games you're not entirely head over heels fro but still makse a good way to kill some time
12:47 <Nothing\> i've mostly been playing KSP and this indie action RPG called Unepic on my Switch
13:17 <Nothing\> which i dunno why i bought it cuz i could pirate it free for pc, but i does have some minor improvements and was only $4 so why not
14:23 <Nothing\> i also got the ghostbusters game on the switch for $10. Haven't had a chance to play that really. But they at least got the original cast for the voice acting
14:34 <Nothing\> they even re-animated the corpse of Harold Ramis
