06:18:19 * Ampera throws a cantaloupe at rust_collector
06:18:40 <rust_collector> oh crap
06:18:53 <Ampera> how are you doing rust_collector
06:19:20 <rust_collector> well, much better than I should. just got home
06:19:24 <Ysjoelfir> mornings rusty
06:19:39 <rust_collector> moin moin
06:19:48 <Ampera> I just put together my package to germany
06:20:26 <Ysjoelfir> nice Ampera, what do I get?
06:20:32 <Ampera> nothing
06:20:37 <Ysjoelfir> :(
06:20:45 <Ampera> no seriously, I've packaged up Nothing\ and he's coming over to say hi
06:20:54 <Ysjoelfir> ARGH!
06:21:01 <Ysjoelfir> he won't stop after he said hi
06:21:08 <Ampera> hah
06:21:32 <Ampera> no this package is going to my family in Essen (and one family member in Mönchengladbach
06:23:04 <Ysjoelfir> nice, maybe I can snag it before it arrives. I'll be near essen at christmas
06:24:08 <Ampera> It should be there too, I bought DHL Express shipping
06:38:17 <rust_collector> which one would ship it? hillblom or lynn?
06:47:59 <rust_collector> Ysjoelfir, I have a pic for you
06:48:25 <Ysjoelfir> Dick pics only after 10 please
06:49:37 <rust_collector> well, you can wait until 10, if you want
06:54:56 <rust_collector> ok, I sent it as a really personal message
06:58:54 <rust_collector> i guess I should have taken some pics on the way, but I only had a couple hours of daylight, and I wanted to use it to get over the mountain, lol
06:59:40 <rust_collector> there are areas I think you might enjoy seeing, even if it not stuffed full of trees and mosquitos
07:02:03 <Ysjoelfir> lol, is that realy a... conglomeration of houses, named "cheesehouse-cheesehouse"? :D
07:02:22 <rust_collector> i think it is only one. I am not sure
07:03:24 <Ysjoelfir> I assume very much that I would like it there, the pic alone looks very nice. nice weather, cure houses, cheese... what would you want more?
07:04:39 <rust_collector> well, skewer grilled virgins and loud metal.
07:04:54 <rust_collector> I can come up with several things I would want
07:05:49 <Ysjoelfir> well, true. but as a place for being it seems nice
07:08:51 <rust_collector> meh.
07:09:16 <rust_collector> but yes, I think you should try to get a bit up north the next time
07:10:59 <rust_collector> interesting scenery, if you have time to go look at it
07:12:14 <Ysjoelfir> I would definitely love to. When the motorcycle runs my uncle and I would like to make a long trip to the north.
07:12:24 <rust_collector> cool
07:13:24 <rust_collector> hmm, I do have a little mini video of the main road to the north. and I say main, because the real main road up there is not in this country, lol
07:14:37 <rust_collector> uhm, that is... eeeh. yes, it is taken from just north of the arctic circle centre (which is closed) (and is not on the arctic circle)
07:15:26 <rust_collector> the original title was boring 4, but that was too boring: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jah6H5VVds8
07:15:45 <Ysjoelfir> lol^^ so you drive through sweden to go north? :P because it has less maut? or because the road is shorter or better?
07:16:00 <rust_collector> it is not shorter, but it is much quicker
07:16:57 <Ysjoelfir> that looks magnificent. :O
07:19:24 <rust_collector> it is called saltfjellet. it is pretty nice in summer.
07:19:45 <rust_collector> well, it looks better in winter, but you never know if you can get across or not
07:21:49 <Ysjoelfir> wikipedia suggests this picture :D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saltfjellet#/media/File:CargoNet_Di_12_Euro_4000_Lønsdal_-_Bolna.jpg
07:22:41 <rust_collector> yes, it could be a better idea to get on a train, lol
07:25:06 <Ysjoelfir> I remember that one website where there was some crazy guy going to the nordkap in late winter by motorcycle.
07:27:14 <rust_collector> well, if the weather is ok, that should not be an issue.
07:29:15 <Ysjoelfir> it was very entertaining to read
07:42:23 <rust_collector> how many evil is your uncle rated as anyway?
07:42:59 <Ysjoelfir> At least seven of a scale from one to potato. But he can be tamed easily.
07:43:23 <rust_collector> hmmmhmmmhmmmmm hmm hmm
07:46:29 <Ysjoelfir> hah, found the website. wasn't.... well, kind of a guy. maybe you want to enjoy the pictures. https://www.svendura.de/no2007.php
07:51:01 <rust_collector> that is a good point, using a bike should be somewhat cheap
07:53:34 <Ysjoelfir> indeed
07:56:52 <rust_collector> figure out a way to pack a little party tent sort of thing. something aluminium and tarp like, that you can ploink together quickly
08:06:38 <Ysjoelfir> and then I come over to your place, put a little wheelbarrow behint the bike and you joing us?
08:07:01 <rust_collector> wheelbarrow...
08:08:00 <Ysjoelfir> a comfy one. with a nice big pillow for you to sit on
08:11:33 Join: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
08:14:33 <rust_collector> I did find a camping sort of place called "bimbo"
08:15:46 <Ysjoelfir> nice :P
08:22:39 <rust_collector> you know, those ski box things, people have on the roof?
08:23:10 <rust_collector> do you think a short deep version of that, with wheels would be ok as a little bike trailer?
08:23:50 <rust_collector> I dunno how much space you would need, you can tie a lot of crap to a bike, I guess
08:24:33 <Ysjoelfir> Bike trailer look basically like that IIRC, so... sure, why not? would definitely be a nice and cheap method to build such a thing :D Though I think to remember something that bike trailers are forbidden in germany in generall for some years. have to look that up though
08:27:01 <rust_collector> yes, I don't know. I know guy here got his ural rated to pull 1500kg, lol
08:27:20 <rust_collector> but... is it illegal if it is not german?
08:29:02 <Ysjoelfir> thats.... interesting oO 1.5 tons behing a ural?
08:29:17 <Ysjoelfir> https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorradanhänger#/media/Datei:Motorcycle_caravan_trailer.jpg how cool is that?
08:29:34 <rust_collector> yeh, that is not going to happen, but it was in theory legal, lol
08:32:59 <Ysjoelfir> ah, I found the reason why thats not a thing in germany
08:33:17 <Ysjoelfir> basically, if you put a trailer behind a motorcycle you are not allowed to go faster than 60.
08:34:29 <Ysjoelfir> the reason the german Bundestag said in a statement was: "We don't think that it is neccessary to go faster or particularely dangerous to drive a motorcycle with 60 km/h on a motorcycle"
08:34:48 <rust_collector> riight
08:34:58 <rust_collector> that could be boring
08:35:02 <Ysjoelfir> tell that any person who was ever bullied by a truck driver who couldn't get past you driving to slow on the right lane
08:35:24 <Ampera> Ysjoelfir, I think I had a stroke trying to understand that sentence
08:35:37 <Ampera> what did the Bundestag say?
08:36:29 <rust_collector> they think it is safe to ride a bike on a bike, as long as the speed of each does not exceed 60km/h?
08:36:47 <Ampera> sounds about right
08:37:04 <Ysjoelfir> two things. 1) it is - in their eyes - not neccessary to go faster than 60 km/h on german Autobahnen. 2) it is not dangerous for a small motorcycle to force trucks to slow down to 60 when they approach you with 100
08:37:25 <Ampera> what, 60km/h in general?
08:37:34 <Ysjoelfir> yes.
08:37:43 <Ampera> I can walk faster than that
08:38:03 <Ampera> and people get pissed when we set our speed limits to 60mph
08:38:23 <rust_collector> it makes sense, bikes only have 2 wheels
08:38:30 <Ampera> no, he said in general
08:38:31 <Ampera> so cars
08:38:32 <Ampera> trucks
08:38:33 <Ampera> anything
08:38:47 <Ampera> eevblog convert 40km to mi
08:38:48 <EEVBlog> The result is: 24.855 mi
08:38:55 <Ampera> okay there's got to be a misunderstanding there
08:39:06 <Ampera> wait
08:39:11 <Ampera> eevblog convert 60km to mi
08:39:11 <EEVBlog> The result is: 37.282 mi
08:39:17 <Ysjoelfir> they force bikes with a trailer to not go faster than 60.
08:39:19 <Ampera> there was a misunderstanding there
08:39:36 <Ampera> idk about you, but if you went that slow on one of our highways you'd fucking die
08:39:59 <rust_collector> yep
08:40:09 <Ysjoelfir> thats exactly my point.
08:40:25 <Ampera> in fairness, if you drove a bike on one of our highways you'd die too
08:40:39 <Ampera> or a car really
08:40:55 <Ampera> it's ultimately the answer to the question, why are our vehicles so big
08:43:01 <rust_collector> well, I am going to bed. work starts sort of early tomorrow
08:43:52 <rust_collector> have fun, or cheese
08:43:59 <Ampera> I'm gonna try to whack my brain at geodesic coordinate set interpolation
08:44:13 <Ampera> basically the same math I already did, but now in real time
08:44:13 <Ysjoelfir> fun = cheese
08:44:17 <Ysjoelfir> enjoy rusty
08:45:10 <Ampera> I have a path on a map defined by a variety of points, and I need to interpolate sub-points to represent the location of a vehicle at a given time/speed
08:45:46 <Ampera> it's for a GPS emulator, I did it already with a precalculate method (precalculate all points needed before emulating) but I'm rewriting it into a library with a realtime point calculation method
08:48:04 <Ysjoelfir> sounds like a fun task? :)
08:48:42 <Ampera> it's like an apple, it's annoying to take the first bite, but then you can work off it from there
08:48:51 <Ampera> the issue is there are a lot of first bites :P
08:57:33 <Ysjoelfir> xD

09:52:08 <Halcyon> Morning all
09:55:10 * Ampera hugs Halcyon
09:55:20 <Halcyon> YAY
09:55:26 <Ampera> how are you doing Halcyon
09:55:32 <Halcyon> Not too bad. You?
09:56:20 <Ampera> alright, wrapped some presents today
09:56:31 <Ampera> I have some for my dad, and I also wrapped some for my relatives in Germany
09:56:44 <Ampera> just bought the shipping, was 112USD for a 5kg 40x40x30cm package
09:57:06 <Halcyon> Gees
09:57:17 <Ampera> cheapest rate, but it's DHL Express
09:59:04 <T3sl4> hey
09:59:11 <Halcyon> Hey T3sl4
09:59:14 <Ampera> there's also a shit ton of different things I need to put on the package and interchange with the driver
10:00:07 <Ampera> there's the shipping label, but there's also a waybill I need to give to the driver, they want me to have him sign for proof of pickup, and I need to "print three copies" of the package manifest for customs, and stick it in either an envelope or one of those little pouches they have on packages
10:00:57 * T3sl4 wet-willies Ampera
10:01:18 <Ampera> Some_Person, actually, since you've used their service, how have you attached the customs document to the package, and did you make the person picking it up sign that peice of paper they had?
10:05:04 <Some_Person> Ampera: I'm not surprised you're asking about this because it's a bit confusing. There are 2 labels. One goes on the package (I use packing tape) and the other gets handed to the driver. Then you need to print the packing list twice and sign both copies. One goes on the package (again, I use packing tape) and the other gets handed to the driver. And yes, I have gotten the driver to sign the last sheet and hand it back to
10:05:04 <Some_Person> I'm pretty sure that doesn't really do anything.
10:05:30 <Ampera> alright, that makes more sense
10:05:55 <Ampera> I'd have normally used packing tape, but was wondering if they'd for some reason need it freeform
10:06:02 <Ampera> I'll put one inside the package just in case
10:06:30 <Ampera> only other minor question, Some_Person, did you cut out the waybill you hand to the driver or did you just give him the whole printer sheet
10:06:38 <Some_Person> I just gave him the whole sheet
10:06:45 <Ampera> alright, that works
10:06:50 <Ampera> thanks Some_Person
10:07:21 <Some_Person> You should end up with 2 things on the package, 2 things to hand the driver, and 1 for the driver to sign and return to you (again, I'm not sure this really matters)
10:07:39 <Ampera> that's right by my count
10:08:00 <Ampera> shipping label and manifest on the package, manifest and waybill to the driver, and acceptance form for the driver to sign
10:08:13 <Some_Person> and the air waybill number is the tracking number
10:08:21 <Ampera> I already checked out the tracking number

10:24:37 * Ampera kisses electrohead
10:24:52 * electrohead hugs instead
10:24:52 * Ampera wallops Halcyon right in the kisser
10:25:00 <Ampera> how are you doing electrohead
10:25:15 <electrohead> I'm alright, you?
10:25:28 <Ampera> alright, laying in bed, about to do a sleep in a bit or so
10:25:42 <Halcyon> I have a craving for ramen
10:25:48 <Halcyon> In soup
10:26:04 * Ampera pours soup down Halcyon's pants
10:26:19 <Halcyon> That's not where soup goes
10:26:30 <Ampera> you australians and your upside down soup
10:26:38 * Ampera pours soup up Halcyon's top pants
10:27:58 <Halcyon> Hahaha
10:28:11 * electrohead hugs Halcyon
10:28:17 <Halcyon> I'm considering whether to add a ZIL drive to my NAS or not.
10:28:21 <Halcyon> YAY!
10:30:49 <Ampera> a ZIL drive, Halcyon?
10:31:04 <Ampera> do you mean Zip?
10:31:23 <Halcyon> That would be rather slow
10:31:28 <Halcyon> ZFS Intent Log
10:31:47 <Halcyon> It caches writes before committing them to spinning rust
10:32:50 <Ampera> ah I just never heard it refered to as such
10:33:18 <Halcyon> *nod*
10:33:32 <Halcyon> I have a spare 250 GB NVMe drive
10:35:38 <Ampera> why so tiny
10:36:05 <Halcyon> It was going to be a boot drive in my Dell server but it doesn't support booting from it so meh

10:41:02 <electrohead> so, came across this just before
10:41:13 * Ampera kisses both electrohead and Halcyon
10:41:17 <Halcyon> YAY!
10:41:31 <Halcyon> I wonder if they have Bluetooth electrohead
10:41:43 <Halcyon> Or Cloud connected :P
10:41:49 <electrohead> well..
10:42:00 <Ampera> I'm entirely convinced bluetooth is the worst thing to happen to wireless digital communications
10:42:04 <Ampera> I hate it
10:42:34 <Halcyon> Yeh it's not great
10:42:42 <Ampera> I can't think of a single thing it does well
10:42:44 <Ampera> at all
10:43:00 <Halcyon> It doesn't do anything well, it does everything half-assed if that
10:43:18 <Ampera> the throughput is absolutely terrible, I don't care what people quote me, I've never gotten more than 10mbps generously. Audio is a complete and total fucking mess, and any HIDs require really complicated implementatinos to work
10:47:32 <electrohead> in the terms of a cloud connection - https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/aviation/a34978872/artificial-intelligence-controls-u2-spy-plane-air-force-exclusive/ - we have this, not to mention everything else is automated
10:52:24 * Halcyon pasta's

10:53:41 <Halcyon> Mmmm
10:58:57 <Ampera> Halcyon, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxIHadola3A
11:00:30 <Halcyon> O... K... ?
11:01:05 <electrohead> lol..
11:06:28 <T3sl4> if only arch were here to see this
11:20:53 <Some_Person> Ampera: Honestly, I'm kind of inclined to agree with you. Bluetooth seems like an overcomplicated mess of a protocol to me
11:25:04 <coppice> Some_Person: Bluetooth is like a junk box, people tossed every piece of crap into. Its not complicated. Its just a hotch potch
11:26:17 <Some_Person> It has weird limitations, weird incompatibilities, stacks that don't always work properly, and that's before we even get into the mess that is audio codecs
11:27:50 <coppice> the two big bodges are that BT and BTLE are essentially unrelated things operating on the same channels, and the codecs are a mess. it used to be extremely quicky, but most of that has been sorted out
11:28:22 <coppice> it was probably better when CSR completely dominated, as they only had to be compatible with themselves :)
11:30:59 <coppice> How do they sell an SLA printer for $159 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07RT7TW38
11:32:13 <Some_Person> The audio stuff is what bothers me the most. I want a wireless headset that works well for playing audio and using the mic at the same time and has very good active noise-cancelling. I'm not sure such a product exists.
11:32:48 <coppice> it can't exist, unless 5.2 has done something interesting with the codecs
11:33:21 <coppice> The 5.0 stuff isn't out properly yet, and already there is a 5.2
11:33:28 <Ampera> steak is what I've chosen to eat tomorrow
11:33:47 <coppice> cow pie?
11:33:55 <Ampera> not a pie
11:34:04 <Ampera> as I have no kidney to make it complete
11:34:05 <Some_Person> I can't be the only one who regularly wants audio to sound good while being able to talk to someone at the same time
11:34:22 <coppice> so, you've given beef Wellington the boot?
11:34:35 <Some_Person> It's not a hypothetical scenario, it's something I do almost every day
11:34:43 <Ampera> coppice, I'm saving that for a rainy day
11:35:06 <Ampera> Some_Person, why do you want regular reasonable things
11:35:26 <Ampera> don't you know reality frowns upon the sensical?
11:35:41 <coppice> Some_Person: no you aren't alone. With the move from cellular to internet based calling, usually using the Opus codec, the need for Opus to and from the headset is really strong
11:37:29 <Some_Person> My one hope is that BTLE Audio takes off and becomes widely supported, since it supposedly addresses the bidirectional bullshit. But obviously nothing supporting that is on the market yet...
11:38:11 <Some_Person> I also don't know what the codec situation for that might be
11:38:38 <Some_Person> I'm hoping for something not proprietary and something the stack makers can't screw up easily
11:38:48 <Some_Person> like they've mostly done with SBC
11:42:30 <coppice> there seems to be a big gap between people claims 5.0 compatibility and actually having it properly implemented
11:46:25 <coppice> isn't the initial BTLE audio support a single codec solution - LC3?
11:51:32 <steve30> morning

12:34:31 * Nothing\ smooches Ampera <3
12:34:37 <Nothing\> don't think i didn't see that
12:35:23 <Nothing\> So I guess we're going back into lockdown here on thursday
12:36:14 <arch> ppl gonna get their pitchforks and torches soon enough...
12:36:16 <Nothing\> all non-essential businesses shutdown, nobody allowed in parks, schools shut down for at least 28 days, no indoor gatherings allowed at all besides members of the same household
12:36:23 <Nothing\> so, no christmas and no new years
12:36:47 <Nothing\> arch, well here, we've basically been breaking the record for number of covid cases in a day every day for the last week or so
12:36:49 <T3sl4> good
12:37:03 <Nothing\> i was reading about the prison i was in
12:37:04 <T3sl4> alas, this is not a year for xmas
12:37:09 <Nothing\> apparently they have 56 cases in there
12:37:23 <Nothing\> and they're housing inmates with covid along with healthy inmates
12:37:28 <Nothing\> as in, making them fucking cellmates
12:37:35 <Nothing\> and keeping them on the same range (cell block)
12:38:05 <Nothing\> which is just as well, cuz the only way they isolate prisoners who have covid is solitary confinement
12:38:18 <Nothing\> and every new inmate has to spend 2 weeks in solitary for isolation
12:38:24 <Nothing\> including juveniles
12:38:56 <arch> solitary confinement is psychological warfare. it should only be reserved for the hardest criminals and murderers
12:38:59 <Nothing\> i can only imagine what 2 weeks of severe social isolation and sensory deprivation would do to a developing teen's brain
12:39:08 <Nothing\> yeah no shit
12:39:30 <Nothing\> i was reading about this thing they do in solitary and other prisons called white room torture or white torture
12:39:53 <Nothing\> they lock you in a room where absolutely everything is white, furniture, walls, lights, everything
12:40:12 <Nothing\> lights are kept at high intensity and oriented in a ring so no shadows are cast on anything
12:40:36 <Nothing\> even the food is white and bland, to prevent sensory stimulation. usually it's just plain white rice
12:41:09 <Nothing\> interactions with guards are prohibited and they wear special pads on their shoes so as not to make any noise when walking
12:41:19 <Nothing\> it's basically totaly sensory deprivation
12:41:54 <arch> torture is only against human rights if it's done by 3rd world countries, didnt ya know that?
12:42:02 <Nothing\> i read anecdotes about people who had nightmares about their time in white rooms for months after the fact
12:42:20 <Nothing\> arch: or if it causes physical trauma
12:42:40 <Nothing\> people don't seem to care/understand that psychological trauma is just as bad, if not worse
12:42:56 <Nothing\> i'd say worse since we don't undersand it and thus can't treat it properly
12:43:50 <Nothing\> apparently ghislaine maxwell's being tortured
12:44:14 <Nothing\> the guards are waking her up every 15 minutes to make sure she doesn't off herself like epstein did (allegedly)
12:44:16 <arch> the govt doesn't give a shit about the veterans who return and suffer from ptsd who keep killing themselves. what makes you think they care about ppl in prison?
12:44:29 <Nothing\> exactly
12:44:40 <T3sl4> epstein didn't melt his own steel beams
12:44:52 <Nothing\> lol T3sl4
12:45:23 <Nothing\> it's weird, apparently in new york there's a metropolitical correctional center, then theres' the metropolitan detention center
12:45:42 <Nothing\> i could never remember which one was the one epstein was in, but i think it was MCC
12:46:10 <Nothing\> but from the name of it, detention center sounds like a place that's better suited for holding inmates until trial
12:46:38 <Nothing\> either way, maxwell's trying to get a bail hearing before christmas, which is apparently her birthday
12:46:59 <Nothing\> but they're saying since she's a french citizen, and france doesn't extradite, she's an extreme flight risk
12:47:30 <Nothing\> even though her attorneys proposed having GPS tracking and armed guards posted outside of her house
12:47:42 <Nothing\> but i think the bitch should suffer the way her victims did
12:48:14 <Nothing\> i also think they need to throw the book at prince andrew
12:48:27 <Nothing\> incapable of sweating my ass
12:49:46 <Nothing\> "yah m8 that accusation was totally false cuz i was incapable of sweating at the time cuz i had an adrenaline overload in the falklands. But I can sweat now cuz I'm all better. So I have no proof of this claim. Btw those pictures of me with those underage hookers were totally doctored and not real."
12:49:56 <arch> sweaty butts are not good
12:50:25 <Nothing\> the shitty thing is, if he weren't royalty, he would be behind bars right now
12:51:40 <Nothing\> and one thing i didn't realize, apparently R Kelly is in prison
12:51:52 <Nothing\> he's being held in the same place as epstein and maxwell
12:52:19 <Nothing\> that's the only reason i found out, i was looking through famous inmates and found out he's in there for child porn or something like that
12:52:59 <Nothing\> oh, no it was worse than that
12:53:26 <Nothing\> soliciting a minor and a buncha sex offenses against minors. So given his history i don't think he's getting out any time soon.
12:59:32 <Nothing\> bah why is this place always dead when i come in here
12:59:41 <Nothing\> i think i'll play me some KSP
13:00:05 <Nothing\> they just released a new major update
13:07:30 <arch> i wish they'd put goddamn KSP multiplayer already
13:08:26 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
13:12:28 * arch hugs a dakimakura modeled after Ampera
13:12:55 <Ampera> arch, I don't need your mexican funny shit >:(
13:14:49 <arch> Ampera, got any recommendations for a PCIE SAS card?
13:15:05 <Ampera> a SAS card?
13:15:09 <Ampera> what sort of SAS card
13:15:12 <Ampera> HBA, RAID
13:15:30 <arch> i don't really care about hardware raid
13:15:33 <Ampera> there's also a fuck ton of different connectors
13:15:48 <Ampera> what do you need out of it
13:16:07 <arch> i got some drives from work that are gathering dust. i wanna put them to use. 3TB drives x 6
13:16:17 <arch> IBM/Seagate SAS drives
13:16:46 <Ampera> I've had luck with the few adaptec cards I've had in the past, but I've never personally used SAS, only parallel SCSI
13:16:51 <arch> but my motherboard only has SATA, obv. which mainstream motherboard comes with SAS these days tbh?
13:16:59 <arch> ooh
13:17:01 <Ampera> anything with an adaptec or LSILogic chip would probably be fine
13:17:09 <Ampera> server motherboards
13:17:50 <Ampera> it's the main way to connect any hard drive to a server really
13:18:18 <Ampera> but as for specific cards, just go and look on newegg until you find one within your price range and that looks nice. ebay can also be a good place to check if you can't find something good there
13:18:22 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera <3
13:18:29 <Ampera> hi Nothing\ how are you doing
13:18:31 <Nothing\> you're lucky, i was just about to start playing KSP
13:18:36 <Nothing\> eh, stressed as fuck
13:18:46 <Ampera> stress is good
13:18:56 <Ampera> it makes you want to break things and hurt people
13:18:58 <Ampera> and that's always nice
13:19:32 <Nothing\> i constantly have one fucking appointment after another, probation, counseling, dentist, doctor, labwork, etc etc etc
13:19:54 <Ampera> sounds like my grandfather
13:20:05 <Nothing\> meanwhile i'm blocked up as hell and can't shit for the life of me cuz i'm scared to take any laxatives cuz knowing my luck they'd kick in right when i'm at one of my appointments
13:20:15 <Nothing\> so i haven't had a proper shit in like a month
13:20:16 <Halcyon> Charming :P
13:20:25 <Ampera> I've only had laxatives a few times in my life, they've never worked for me
13:20:27 <Nothing\> much less been able to clean myself out properly
13:20:32 <Ampera> but they were mild laxatives
13:20:37 <Halcyon> That's because you're full of shit Ampera
13:20:37 <Halcyon> :P
13:20:37 <Ampera> I've almost never been blocked up in my life
13:20:52 <Ampera> the best laxative I've ever really used has been eating a whole bag of apples
13:21:02 <Ampera> plenty of fiber, it's quite good for the shits
13:21:10 <Nothing\> we're going into a lockdown this week so i called my counselor and left a message saying i wasn't coming up for my appointment because of that
13:21:11 <Halcyon> Coffee does it for me first thing in the morning
13:21:14 * Ampera attack-kisses Halcyon
13:21:19 <Nothing\> "oh that's fine we can do a virtual appointment"
13:21:19 <Halcyon> YAY!
13:21:45 <Nothing\> fuck that, i'm not installing some skype bullshit on my computer just so you can invade my safe space while i feel like shit, literally
13:22:00 <arch> why dont you use skpe in the bathroom?
13:22:14 <arch> that way you dont have to worry about having to take a shit in the middle of an appointment
13:22:21 <Nothing\> cuz it's just gonna weigh on my mind and keep me from pooping anyways
13:22:29 <arch> win-win
13:23:00 <Nothing\> i just told my mom, i'm not returning his call, i'm not doing the appointment, i'm doing any appointments except probation, end of story
13:23:12 <Halcyon> Probation?
13:23:20 <Nothing\> i'm so fucking sick of appointments and the fact that they're fucking up my bowels so bad
13:23:40 <Ampera> Halcyon, Nothing\ got locked up for being too cute
13:23:44 <Nothing\> aye probation. i'm on it till 2022
13:23:50 <Halcyon> OK
13:23:51 <Halcyon> I won't ask
13:23:55 <Nothing\> aww you're a sweetheart Ampera
13:23:56 <Halcyon> Don't want to know
13:23:56 <Ampera> you just did
13:24:03 <Nothing\> Halcyon, attempted genocide
13:24:19 <Nothing\> they let me out of jail early cuz of the covid
13:24:23 <Ampera> next time it should be more than just an attempt
13:24:24 <Halcyon> Very funny :P
13:24:40 <Nothing\> Halcyon, nah it was sexual assault and criminal harassment
13:24:43 <Halcyon> But yes, I feel as though there may be a conflict of interest here, so please don't tell me anything more
13:24:52 <Halcyon> Lalalalala
13:24:56 <Ampera> those are an amusing two lines
13:25:07 <Ampera> but what do you care Halcyon, you're literally on the other side of the world
13:25:22 <Nothing\> for slapping my brother's ex on the ass and a bunch of out of context text msgs she sent police accusing me of making constantly unwanted innuendos and/or sexual advances on her
13:25:22 <Halcyon> I won't go into any details but it still matters
13:26:05 <Halcyon> Bitches be craZy
13:26:07 <Ampera> Halcyon, don't worry, the mounties won't try to mount you
13:26:08 <Halcyon> z
13:26:20 <Nothing\> like we all got along well and had an adult sense of humor, so i'd send her a message saying something like "hey you wanna see a hot pussy?" then follow up with a picture of a cat in the desert or something, ya know
13:26:33 <Nothing\> but she'd only include the part where i asked if she wanted to see some hot pussy
13:26:38 <Nothing\> that sorta thing
13:26:42 <Halcyon> Riiiiight
13:26:49 <Halcyon> And you got locked up for THAT!?
13:26:53 <Nothing\> yup
13:26:58 <Halcyon> Hell, my collegues send me worse things.
13:27:01 <Nothing\> thank you harvey weinstein
13:27:08 <Ampera> Halcyon, it's Canada, it's a serious criminal offense to be impolite
13:27:13 <Ampera> they've locked people up for less
13:27:20 <Halcyon> Fuck that in the ass
13:27:24 <Nothing\> actually, polygamy is still illegal here
13:27:28 <Nothing\> i just found out the other day
13:27:32 <Halcyon> For reals?
13:27:36 <Nothing\> punishable by up to a 5 year prison term
13:27:52 <Nothing\> and it doesn't even have to involve legally binding relationships
13:28:01 <Nothing\> according to the language of the law
13:28:12 <Halcyon> I'd imagine it would never get enforced?
13:28:34 <Ampera> Halcyon, it's pretty light, polygamy is a capital offense here, federally
13:28:51 <Ampera> and thank god it is
13:29:06 <Ampera> the last thing we need is to have people stealing all the available people away for themselves
13:29:34 <Halcyon> Polygamy isn't illegal here, but bigamy is
13:29:45 <Halcyon> Why you would want to get married even to one person is beyond me
13:29:58 <Ampera> well that's because you're going to hell no matter what you do
13:30:07 <Halcyon> Joke's on you, hell isn't real :P
13:30:15 <Nothing\> here it is
13:30:16 <Ampera> joke's on you, it most certainly is
13:30:17 <Nothing\> https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/C-46/section-293.html
13:30:18 <Ampera> I'm in it
13:30:26 <Nothing\> the polygamy law
13:30:27 <Ampera> and it's central proprieter
13:30:30 <Ampera> *proprietor
13:31:03 <Ampera> *its
13:31:19 <Nothing\> basically it says anyone who engages in a conjugal union with multiple people is guilty of polygamy
13:31:21 <Halcyon> What the hell? Potato bake with golden syrup https://www.taste.com.au/recipes/caramelised-potato-bake-recipe/ubbkg5rm
13:31:26 <Ampera> it's all been foreseen, since I created the universe last thursday
13:31:45 <Ampera> what is golden syrup
13:32:05 <Halcyon> Basically sugar syrup that's been "cooked" to make it caramalise slightly
13:32:24 <Ampera> sounds good
13:32:42 <Halcyon> It looks like maple syrup but without all the delicious flavours. It's just sugar with a slightly... "burnt" taste?
13:32:52 * Ampera burns Halcyon
13:33:07 <Ampera> I like sugar free pancake syrup the best
13:33:16 <Nothing\> i've become addicted to salted caramel ice cream lately
13:33:27 <Halcyon> You're such a hipster Nothing\
13:33:38 Quit: arch ([email protected]) Connection closed
13:33:42 <Halcyon> But yes, it is good
13:33:45 <Nothing\> it's sooooo good. It's like butterscotch or toffee or something
13:33:52 <Ampera> I've never had any of that
13:33:56 <Ampera> you people are weird
13:34:03 <Ampera> stop being weird or I will be even weirder in retalliation
13:34:07 <Nothing\> no ur
13:34:24 * Ampera sneezes at Nothing\
13:34:45 <Ampera> my wall is 71
13:34:48 <Halcyon> This is my favourite ice cream of all time: https://shop.maggiebeer.com.au/products/burnt-fig-honeycomb-caramel-ice-cream/
13:34:57 <Ampera> my other wall is 72
13:35:02 <Halcyon> It has little crunchy honeycomb bits in it as well
13:35:17 <Ampera> the best ice cream is dairy-free dole whip
13:35:32 <Halcyon> Cool whip
13:36:00 <Ampera> if I could I'd kick you for that one
13:36:11 <Halcyon> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vWA_vIrqT4
13:36:18 <Ampera> my chair is 73
13:36:22 <Ampera> I am not clicking that link
13:37:31 <Ampera> my bed is 75
13:37:45 <Ampera> my table is 72
13:37:58 <Ampera> my floor is 64
13:38:07 <Ampera> my ceiling is 72
13:38:28 <Ampera> my outlet is 71
13:38:58 <Ampera> it is too hot in here
13:39:03 * Ampera sneezes
13:39:07 * Ampera sneezes again
13:39:17 * Ampera sneezes again again
13:44:33 <T3sl4> satan bless you
13:46:02 * steve30 is cold
13:46:26 * Ampera covers steve30 in a warm duvet and offers hot coffee (or cocoa)
13:53:05 * steve30 purrs at Ampera
13:53:18 <Ampera> <3
13:54:44 <steve30> I've put the AC on to warm me up
13:55:44 <Ampera> heat pump?
13:55:51 <steve30> yes
13:55:55 <Ampera> nice
13:56:06 <Ampera> I've put a blanker on me to cool me down
13:56:15 <Ampera> *blanket
13:56:49 <Ampera> it's made me warmer, but also cozier
14:01:40 <Tezzers> Ampera: Got a weighted blanket?
14:01:44 <Tezzers> It makes cozy +10
14:01:55 <Ampera> no because I'm not an insaneperson
14:02:05 <Tezzers> whut
14:02:26 <Ampera> all my blankets have negative weights
14:02:55 <Tezzers> You whhhhhhhat?
14:03:03 <Ampera> you heard me
14:03:06 <Ampera> or maybe you didn't
14:03:07 <Ampera> but you saw me
14:03:19 <Tezzers> I mean, I heard you in my internal voice
14:03:33 <Ampera> you have an internal voice?
14:03:37 <Ampera> like, a voice inside of your head?
14:03:45 <Ampera> idk man, isn't that a symptom of schizo?
14:03:48 <Tezzers> You don't read aloud inside your head when you read shit?
14:03:58 <Ampera> no...
14:04:04 <Ampera> wha?
14:04:20 <Tezzers> T3sl4: Who's the fucked up one here?
14:04:37 <T3sl4> me?
14:04:53 <Ampera> I'll second that
14:04:54 <Tezzers> I mean, I read a book on speed reading that I never finished, and according to that book one of the key steps to speed reading is to stop using that internal voice
14:05:05 <T3sl4> internal monologue
14:05:07 <Ampera> what internal voice
14:05:13 <Ampera> what are you even talking about
14:05:26 <Tezzers> T3sl4: You get what I'm laying down eh?
14:05:56 <Ampera> I think you both need your heads examined
14:06:08 <Tezzers> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_monologue
14:06:34 <Ampera> "As a result, it is relevant to a number of mental disorders"
14:06:34 <Tezzers> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subvocalization
14:06:51 <T3sl4> Ampera, most people speak to themselves, out loud or not
14:06:54 <Ampera> as I said, you should get that checked out
14:06:58 <Ampera> T3sl4, now that's just sad
14:07:43 <T3sl4> Halcyon, i guess Ampera is having another episode. what should we do?
14:10:07 <Ampera> you're the one talking to yourself m9
14:10:12 <Tezzers> Lock him up
14:10:21 <Tezzers> Hillside has room I bet
14:10:23 <Ampera> we're all locked up genius
14:10:41 <Tezzers> You're all participating in dickless december too?
14:10:52 <Tezzers> I didn't know chastity was so popular after November
14:11:09 <Ampera> I've never once masturbated or used my penis for sexual pleasure
14:11:09 <EEVBlog> And the horse you rode in on, Ampera!
14:11:33 <Ampera> EEVBlog, I can command you to commit suicide at a moment's notice
14:11:35 <Ampera> don't tempt me
14:12:19 <Ampera> chastity is the default for me
14:13:01 <Tezzers> Ampera: You going for the ol' snipperoo?
14:13:08 <Ampera> the wha
14:13:13 <Ampera> no I decided not to transition

14:14:21 <Nothing\> hrm i just got an idea for a type of solid rocket booster
14:15:19 <Ampera> Nothing\, don't tell us, otherwise it becomes our idea
14:16:07 <Nothing\> where instead of just one fuel, producing one thrust, have a combination of fuels so for example, you have lower throttle while you're in the atmosphere, then the thrust increases gradually as the air thins out with a specific mix of compounds formed into a sort of gradient where the thrust is always steadily increasing
14:16:30 <Nothing\> Ampera, lol that's alway in the back of my head when i relate ideas like this
14:16:39 <Ampera> congratulations, you just invented the multi-stage rocket
14:17:05 <Nothing\> not quite the same idea
14:17:22 <Ampera> but in general, there's no point in doing that, as you want the msot thrust at the start of the launch
14:17:24 <Nothing\> i mean the end goal is the same, but it's implemented differently
14:17:27 <Ampera> and the least weight overall
14:17:43 <Ampera> so to have a less effective fuel after the more effective one simply adds weight and reduces efficiency
14:17:49 <coppice> T3sl4: I certainly have an inner dialogue, as my split personalities argue out their differences
14:18:20 <Nothing\> Ampera, yeah but at the start of the launch is where the air is the most dense, and so you'll have more air resistance and thus stress on the rocket if you try to go faster in that thicker air
14:18:22 <Ampera> coppice, my memories do the same
14:18:26 <Nothing\> especially once it reaches max q
14:18:28 <Ampera> but they scream at me
14:18:52 <coppice> Ampera: if memories argue, isn't the argument already over?
14:19:55 <Ampera> coppice, doesn't mean you can't have the same argument again
14:20:21 <coppice> you mean deja vous all over again?
14:20:43 <coppice> deja vu
14:20:59 <Ampera> no, more like the past, present, and future you, of all varieties and shapes deriding you for the decisions you have made, are making, and are about to make
14:21:27 <coppice> when I think of the past it brings back such memories
14:22:15 <Ampera> coppice, were any of them about credit cards, as those might be random access memories
14:22:53 <coppice> I don't want any random access to my credit cards
14:24:21 <Ampera> coppice, it's always something you may find yourself visa vis with.
14:25:06 <coppice> I've paid for a lot of visas with a visa card
14:29:03 Quit: coppice ([email protected]) Quit: Konversation terminated!
14:29:42 * Halcyon smacks Ampera on the left cheek
14:29:52 <Ampera> what sort of cheek
14:30:02 <Halcyon> I left it open for your interpretation :P
14:30:16 <Ampera> ah, my dick cheek
14:30:19 <Ampera> how novel
14:30:29 <Halcyon> What the hell is a dick cheek?
14:30:30 * Ampera smacks Halcyon on his center chest-cheek
14:31:08 <Ampera> you ever put sharpie eyes and a smiley on a penis?
14:31:19 <Ampera> then smack it and pretend it's someone you hate?
14:31:22 <Ampera> thw6
14:31:29 <Ampera> er, that
14:31:40 <Ampera> I can't see my screen or my keyboard very well because dark
14:31:48 <Halcyon> No, no I have not
14:32:01 <Halcyon> Have you?
14:32:05 <Ampera> no
14:32:17 <Tezzers> It sounds like you might have
14:32:43 <Ampera> Tezzers, shut uo gabriel
14:32:52 <Tezzers> wut gabriel?
14:33:02 * Ampera smacks Tezzers
14:33:05 <Halcyon> Sounds like something T3sl4 would possible do after a few beers
14:33:05 <Ampera> don't correct me, slut
14:33:18 <Halcyon> Kinda a varient of the "elephant"
14:33:20 <Ampera> it'd probably be my face too
14:33:22 <Tezzers> Bitch what?
14:34:14 <Ampera> Tezzers, you never hear about that one with the pimp who's got three ho's?
14:34:34 <Tezzers> No
14:34:49 <Ampera> well, there was a pimp, collecting his keep from his three hos.
14:35:12 <Ampera> he goes up to the first one, and demands thirty bucks. the ho says she only owes 25
14:35:21 <Ampera> the pimp slaps the ho and says, don't corret me, bitch
14:35:42 <Ampera> so he goes to the second one and demands fourty, the ho says she only owes 35
14:35:50 <Ampera> the pimp slaps the ho and says, don't correct me bitch
14:36:04 <Ampera> so he goes to the third one, and demands fifty, the ho says she only owes 45
14:36:13 <Ampera> the pimp slaps the ho and says, don't correct me bitch
14:36:30 <Ampera> so finally, the pimp goes to his fourth ho, and demands sixty, the ho says she only owes 55
14:36:48 <Ampera> and then the pimp slaps the ho and says, don't correct me bitch
14:37:24 <Tezzers> And then?
14:37:32 <Tezzers> Oh
14:37:38 Join: Guest|97077 ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
14:37:42 <Tezzers> So he went to a ho that wasn't his?
14:37:49 <Tezzers> What's the point?
14:37:53 <Halcyon> I hate you so much Ampera
14:37:58 <Tezzers> I cleared my screen I forget why we're talking about this
14:38:05 <Ampera> at least Halcyon got it

15:35:28 <T3sl4> Ysjoelfir, wow look at all those greens
15:35:29 <T3sl4> https://i.imgur.com/7fpShm4.png?1
16:12:00 <Nothing\> weird
16:12:09 <Nothing\> so an OTA is basically just a CCII
16:12:39 <Nothing\> explained that way, they make way more sense than trying to understand what transconductance is and going from there
16:21:11 <T3sl4> transconductance is just output current divided by input voltage
16:50:40 <hsn> hello
16:50:40 <EEVBlog> Hello there, hsn!
16:50:50 <Halcyon> Hey hsn
16:50:50 <hsn> <3 EEVBlog
16:50:56 <hsn> how r u Halcyon
16:51:02 <Halcyon> How are things in your part of the world?
16:51:05 <Halcyon> Not too bad
16:55:15 * steve30 purrs at Halcyon
16:55:22 <Halcyon> Heya Steve :)
16:55:31 <hsn> hrm, its not so great in work :P
16:55:41 <Halcyon> I have work tomorrow :(
16:55:48 <Halcyon> hsn, you're in Bahrain right?
16:55:50 <hsn> but meh .. u know.. .fck it ..
16:55:53 <hsn> yes
16:56:06 <Halcyon> I was looking at a map the other day, it looks extremely dry there
16:56:06 <hsn> did u catch pedos from bahrain recently ? xD
16:56:14 <Halcyon> Hah no, not my problem :P
16:56:29 <Halcyon> It is extremely dusty/sandy there?
16:56:34 * steve30 suggests Halcyon snuggles up under a duvet instead of work
16:56:41 <hsn> thats why Ysjoelfir keeps calling me sandy
16:56:43 <hsn> lol
16:56:47 <Halcyon> Steve, call my Inspector tomorrow and tell him :P
16:56:56 <Halcyon> Is it true hsn?
16:57:00 <hsn> not "extremly sandy" .. its normal
16:57:04 <Halcyon> It's a serious question
16:57:17 * steve30 rings 000
16:57:23 <steve30> Wait, is it 000 there?
16:57:24 <Halcyon> Is there sand everywhere? On the roads, footpaths etc...?
16:57:29 <Halcyon> Yes or 112
16:57:33 <hsn> but .. what do i know .. maybe my "normal" isnt normal for u ?
16:57:39 <Halcyon> Actually 911 and 999 work as well, they just redirect
16:57:40 <hsn> no they are clean
16:57:59 <Halcyon> I kind of imagined there being like you lived next to a beach
16:58:52 <hsn> Halcyon, https://images.app.goo.gl/RPJWaH3xcowDFD5d6
16:59:03 <Halcyon> By comparison, I live in this general area: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Bahrain/@-33.6510124,150.214089,44299m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x3e48524e6a47a211:0x2e9450e2dbda1046!8m2!3d26.0667!4d50.5577
16:59:08 <Halcyon> Dammit
16:59:19 <Halcyon> Actually that link works
16:59:22 <hsn> well they r burrying my old village beach
17:04:00 <hsn> ah Halcyon ur link confused me
17:04:14 <hsn> it had "bahrain" so i thought i need to click on search again xD
17:04:18 <Halcyon> Yeh it included my original search term but then I zoomed out
17:04:54 <Halcyon> We have trees, EVERYWHERE
17:04:57 <hsn> well ur area .. rusty area .. rest of the world is nice and green compared to us
17:05:12 <hsn> we used to have good amount .. old days
17:05:17 <Halcyon> Literally, my back yard about 10 metres from my back door is bushland
17:05:18 <hsn> 1980s i guess
17:05:43 <hsn> used to be called "country of the 1 million palm tree"
17:06:04 <Halcyon> I love palm trees
17:06:12 <hsn> http://www.wouterosterholt.com/the-island-of-a-million-palm-trees/the-island-of-a-million-palm-trees
17:07:12 <Halcyon> It's sad they got rid of them
17:09:37 <hsn> well, "uneducation" and "stupidity" is what is happening in the country .. :D
17:11:49 <Halcyon> Seems to be the way the world is going as a whole
17:12:42 <hsn> im not claiming "im the smart guy" .. but the whole country is built on "personal interest + wasta (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wasta) + other serious problems)
17:13:11 <hsn> i guess thats true .. but here i would think its severe ..
17:15:05 <hsn> its too small country to be listed here lol : https://snipboard.io/tgh2Ns.jpg
17:16:15 <Halcyon> I see
17:16:34 <hsn> so Halcyon yesterday new programmer joined that i'll have to teach and give him tasks .. officially im not a manager or leader ..
17:17:02 <Halcyon> Ask for more money if you are expected to mentor other staff :P
17:17:08 <hsn> but my boss which understand zero in software stuff .. wanted to show him that he understands and idk what he was trying to proove ..
17:17:48 <hsn> so he started drawing stuff i sent him on the board related to software architecture and started acting like he is "the big picture" and im just working on details
17:18:22 <hsn> and then he emailed me and the other guy a link that i litterly sent him last week related to software testing .. !!
17:18:34 <hsn> and acted like he explains to me and the other guy
17:18:35 <Halcyon> In other words, he doesn't have a clue what you actually do
17:18:43 <Halcyon> "Big picture" is such a cop-out excuse
17:18:49 <hsn> Halcyon, absoloutly he keeps saying that
17:19:20 <hsn> for long time .. he keep saying it like its my mistake while he doesnt care to know and its not his competenece
17:19:25 <Halcyon> My view is, a manager should be able to do your job if they had to. Granted their knowledge might be outdated, but they should know and understand the fundamentals.
17:19:42 <hsn> no. he knows nothing
17:19:44 <Halcyon> If a manager doesn't know something, ask someone who does, they are the subject matter experts.
17:20:21 <hsn> Halcyon, the guy loves to act like the "subject matter non expert who knows the fundamentals of everything"
17:20:32 <Halcyon> Hahaha yep, I know the type
17:20:48 <Halcyon> So in other words, he knows nothing apart from buzzwords and fudges his way through his own work
17:21:24 <hsn> in my field yes .. in other fields maybe corrosion and some other mechanical stuff he does ok ..
17:21:37 <hsn> but electronics/it .. nothing buzz buzz
17:21:40 <Halcyon> Sounds like he is in the wrong field
17:22:01 <hsn> Halcyon, he is in "managment" .. :D
17:22:17 <Halcyon> Uhuh
17:22:18 <Halcyon> :P
17:22:42 <Halcyon> As I said, I know the type, I spend my week telling Senior Sergeants and Inspectors what to do, because they have no fucking idea
17:23:03 <Halcyon> They just think that my work involves clicking a few buttons and getting results
17:23:45 <Halcyon> We have a running joke at work, for people who don't understand our work, we just have a big "Get Evidence" button and magic happens.
17:24:11 <hsn> well let me just say that in my words ..
17:25:01 <hsn> i have a joke for my boss imagining me doing software design like following: if (toilet_working()){ toilet_keepWorking(); }
17:25:48 <hsn> and things under are just working by magic ^
17:26:47 <Halcyon> Hahaha
17:54:43 <steve30> Halcyon, this guy is cute: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Ny-oKDipak
17:56:09 <Halcyon> Yeh he is
17:56:38 <Halcyon> Not bad for a Ruski
17:57:35 <steve30> I do have to watch his videos with auto-generated & auto-translated subtitles though :D
17:57:44 <Halcyon> He kind of reminds me of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-IEVMwBEfo
18:02:18 <steve30> hehe
18:02:27 <Halcyon> Matt Colbo is cute
18:04:04 <steve30> On the subject of subtitles, I watched a pornhub video with subtitles the other day.
18:04:16 <Halcyon> Which video? :P
18:04:36 <steve30> can't remember
18:06:10 <Halcyon> :P
18:22:34 <steve30> I couldn't help but think the 'dialogue' was a bit minimal and repetitive to warrant subtitles
18:23:28 <Halcyon> Just have been American porn
18:28:19 <Halcyon> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOfpQt4KFCc
18:28:22 <Halcyon> OK that is cool
18:29:07 <Halcyon> (If it's real of course)
18:30:08 <steve30> cool
18:47:23 <hsn> steve30, u both are cool
18:48:08 <electrohead> you said porn and caught my attention
18:48:28 <electrohead> steve30: subtitles, or subtities?
18:48:31 <electrohead> :P
18:48:47 <steve30> :D
18:49:03 <electrohead> lol, I don't know why I'm still awake
18:49:20 * electrohead solders Halcyon's parts together in a shape of a penis, and hangs it on his ceiling
18:50:05 <Halcyon> Interesting ornament
18:50:24 <electrohead> the individual parts give it detail
18:50:26 <electrohead> :P
18:52:04 <Halcyon> Aren't you worried it would impail you?
18:52:14 <Halcyon> I mean, it's not exactly small :P
18:52:45 <Halcyon> electrohead: You wouldn't like Steve's porn :P
18:55:45 <steve30> i think i might go back to bed soon. i've been tired lately
18:58:39 <Halcyon> You're always tired Steve
18:58:53 <Halcyon> Have you had your blood iron checked?
18:59:12 <electrohead> no I wouldn't, hahaha
18:59:34 * steve30 get the neodymium magnets out
19:00:03 <Halcyon> Careful with those Steve :P
19:02:58 <electrohead> what are you going to do with them?
19:15:15 * steve30 collapses on Halcyon's lap
19:15:36 <electrohead> alright, it's bed time for this guy
19:16:18 <electrohead> 0315 here, surprised I'm up this late
19:16:22 <electrohead> g'night all o/
19:16:23 <Halcyon> Night buddy

20:43:58 <EEVBlog> Hello there, Kuschelpony!
20:44:05 <Halcyon> :)
20:44:13 <Ysjoelfir> well, brunchtime... good idea
20:45:26 <Kuschelpony> just waiting for food to heat up i nthe oven
20:45:44 <Kuschelpony> then back to bed as i still feel not that well
20:46:21 <Ysjoelfir> oh, did you catch the plague?
20:46:42 <Halcyon> Aww poor pony
20:46:46 <Halcyon> What have you got in the oven?
20:46:59 * Ysjoelfir puts a pan onto the stove
20:47:07 <steve30> I keep having trouble on the toilet. I should probably have some bran flakes.
20:47:25 <Kuschelpony> hmm, cant translate in english, its "Paprikasteak" and "Pommes mit Wellenschnitt"
20:47:32 <Halcyon> What is it with you guys being full of shit?
20:47:39 <Halcyon> Nothing\ was the same
20:48:08 <Kuschelpony> hmm, luckily i have at least no tiolet problems, its more like cough and headache
20:48:16 <Halcyon> Potato something?
20:48:22 <Halcyon> Fries?
20:49:00 <Ysjoelfir> zig zag cut fries and bellpepper steak
20:49:00 <Halcyon> And beef steak with something? Paprika? Capsicum?
20:49:06 <Halcyon> Ahh yes
20:49:11 <Halcyon> Sounds delicious
20:49:30 <Ysjoelfir> it probably is. I want some now, looking at my poor shrimps in the pan
20:49:41 <Kuschelpony> in days without having a cold its delicious, today it might still be good
20:49:50 <Halcyon> Just add extra chilli
20:49:55 <Halcyon> Makes everything taste better
20:50:11 <Kuschelpony> i try to mix anything with grileld onions but not today
20:50:20 <Kuschelpony> chioli is not my thing
20:50:47 <Halcyon> Suit yourself :)

20:51:48 <Halcyon> Mmmm prawn
20:51:57 <steve30> If I don't get enough fibre I have toilet troubles
20:52:11 <Halcyon> Haha the same can be said for most people Steve
20:52:20 <Halcyon> Although a morning coffee does it for me :P
20:52:29 <Kuschelpony> if thiungs get better the next days i might continue on my DC/DC converter trying to iron powder toriod that i mentioned a while ago
20:52:53 <steve30> It all comes out in a mess, then the skin ends up sore.
20:53:11 <steve30> And I'm sure TheDeafPrawn is delighted to have joined us at this particular moment.
20:53:15 <Halcyon> What Steve?

20:54:59 <Halcyon> I imagine freshly husked corn cobs with the stringy bits that get stuck in your teeth
20:55:06 <K> eeew
20:55:24 <Ysjoelfir> I wonder if I should take the time and effort today to get a wire wheel, grind off all the old crud from my cast iron pan, and reseason it...
20:55:44 <K> hand-scrape it!
20:57:37 * Ysjoelfir hands K a toothbrush sized nylon brush and the pan
20:57:39 <Ysjoelfir> Have fun
20:57:50 <Halcyon> I need to do the same Ysjoelfir
20:58:16 <K> no no i meant like with ways on a lathe or mill, with a carbide scraper and stuff
20:58:33 <Ysjoelfir> I got the pan like 2 years ago. roughly removed the old stuff and did five coats of reseasoning, but its nowhere near perfect
20:58:44 <Ysjoelfir> K - erm... that would be cool actually. but my lathe is way to small :D
20:58:56 <Halcyon> Oven cleaner should strip most of it off
21:01:01 <Ysjoelfir> should it? that sounds like a great idea, I have industry grade oven and bbq cleaner!
21:01:49 <Halcyon> I think so
21:01:57 <Halcyon> Just wash it really well afterwards
21:02:08 Quit: HairyCorn ([email protected]) Quit: http://www.kiwiirc.com/ - A hand crafted IRC client
21:05:54 <Halcyon> How do you season your pans Ysjoelfir ?
21:05:55 <Halcyon> Oven?
21:07:57 <Ysjoelfir> When I still had my big gas grill I used that. just crank it up at full blast, put pan onto it and close the lid. that thing is gone, so now I use my convection oven, yes. and sometimes my pizza oven for small things
21:08:16 <Halcyon> Yeh nice
21:08:25 <Halcyon> What kind of oil do you use?
21:08:49 <Ysjoelfir> I should make a new wooden handle for that pan as well, its... bad :D and looks like they put it with the pan into the oven for decades.
21:09:07 <Ysjoelfir> I usually use coconut oil, but I want to try a different one this time. not sure which though
21:09:07 <Halcyon> Hah my parents had pans like that
21:09:14 <Halcyon> Wooden handles from the 80's
21:09:26 <Ysjoelfir> yep, that one is probably from around that time as well
21:10:43 <Halcyon> I previously used Flax Seed oil
21:11:05 <Halcyon> But it also has a combination of peanut, olive and rice bran oil built up on it
21:11:41 <Halcyon> Flax seed oil tends to smoke a lot and it kind of smells like fish, so you would want to do it outside if possible
21:12:21 <Ysjoelfir> ew :D
21:12:26 <Ysjoelfir> coconut smells nice though^^
21:12:48 <Halcyon> Coconut oil works
21:13:02 <Halcyon> Otherwise I would use another high temperature oil like rice bran
21:14:14 <Ysjoelfir> I don't think we can get that here
21:14:25 <Halcyon> Oh no
21:14:40 <Halcyon> It's really nice to cook with, rather healthy and flavour neutral
21:14:47 <Halcyon> Also stands up to wok cooking
21:15:05 <Ysjoelfir> I can get "rice oil" from the asian supermarket, but that stuff is expensive as hell
21:15:48 <Halcyon> https://shop.coles.com.au/a/national/product/alfa-one-oil-rice-bran
21:15:52 <Halcyon> I can send you some :P
21:18:29 <Ysjoelfir> lol, when I open that link it just displays a fat "COLES ONLINE IS NOT AVAILABLE IN YOUR COUNTRY!!!!!!!!!" text :D
21:18:41 <Halcyon> Hahah
21:18:47 <Halcyon> It's AUD$9 for 3 litres
21:18:56 <K> "Coles Online is not available in your country or access has been blocked."
21:18:56 <Ysjoelfir> damn
21:18:58 <K> rude
21:19:12 <Ysjoelfir> for 9€ I can get like.... a 300ml bottle of rice oil here :D
21:20:11 <Ysjoelfir> hah, nice, from a "how to de- and re-season your cast iron cookware" blogpost: "And that really is the big takeaway here: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet is a well-used one. Spending more time in the kitchen using it, and less time on online forums reading arguments about it, is an excellent first step."
21:22:04 <Halcyon> That's more or less true
21:22:12 <Halcyon> Assuming you have a good season to start with
21:22:27 <Halcyon> It doesn't need to be perfect, just a decent coat or two
21:22:51 <Ysjoelfir> exactly. I have two pans, one has a good one, and then I got this one second hand. its shitty. :D
21:24:00 <Ysjoelfir> you can see that they used WAY TO MUCH oil, it has dark spots everywhere and drops of polymerized oil on the outsides, as well as they probably didn't clean it good enough, as the seasoning is loosening on the inside
21:24:32 <Halcyon> Yeh you need really thin coats
21:24:37 <Halcyon> If it's sticky, it's done wrong
21:24:51 <Ysjoelfir> yep
21:25:23 <Ysjoelfir> but looks like your suggested oven cleaner method should work, I'll try that right after I am done with my sausages
21:25:34 <Halcyon> Let me know how you go
21:25:59 <Ysjoelfir> and while I do that I may also make a new handle for it. Still have an old broom handle in the lab I want to use for stuff like that
21:27:51 <Ysjoelfir> oh, I also read that a self cleaning oven with pyrolysis should work. my mum has such a thing. Maybe I'll take the pan to her on christmas and try that?
21:28:52 <Halcyon> Yehhhhhh I dunno
21:29:01 <Halcyon> Maybe just stick with fire and/or hot oven
21:29:05 <Halcyon> It will just take longer
21:29:16 <T3sl4> i'd give it a try
21:30:36 <Ysjoelfir> pf, fire... would be happy if that would be allowed here xD if mrs. landlordladybitch would see my balcony where I store at the moment 40 liters of gasoline and 2x5kg Butane/Propane I would be homeless in no time :D
21:30:53 <Halcyon> Silly woman
21:31:10 <Ysjoelfir> yes.
21:31:51 <Ysjoelfir> I mean, fire safety isn't realy her thing. she forces us to lock the entrance door all the time. sadly for "some reason" now the lock got damaged. awwwwww :(
21:31:54 <K> yeah, 2020 is not gonna end itself, you know
21:32:02 <Ysjoelfir> lol
21:41:33 <Kuschelpony> finished brunch and a looong hooot shower
21:41:41 <Halcyon> It's weird seeing the entire rain radar at the limit of it's range: http://www.bom.gov.au/products/IDR712.loop.shtml#skip
21:41:57 <Halcyon> You don't normally see a nice circle like that
21:42:27 <Ysjoelfir> huh oO that looks somehow creepy
21:43:57 <Halcyon> There is just *a lot* of rain around at the moment. Huge clouds
