01:00:32 * electrohead reduces T3sl4
01:02:54 <Ysjoelfir> uh, T3sl4 sauce!
01:04:58 <Ysjoelfir> or is it more like T3sl4 glace?
01:05:06 <Ysjoelfir> *glaze?
01:17:35 <electrohead> lol
01:17:37 <electrohead> both!

01:29:52 <K> bath!
01:44:08 <rust_collector> hey-o
01:44:09 <Ysjoelfir> T3sl4 broth!
01:44:12 <Ysjoelfir> hi rusty
01:44:28 <rust_collector> hellu
01:51:52 <rust_collector> i finally picked up the parts I ordered a few weeks ago. There was not much to do at work, so... why not do that
02:03:25 Join: coppice ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
02:08:16 <Ysjoelfir> sounds reasonable :) I worked a bit on the air compressor. drilled a hole through the shaft of the motor and mounted the flywheel. I made the bushing slightly undersize, so I had to bash that thing realy hard onto it. would have probably been solid on there just by friction, but I added a bend nail thingy to make it not slip in any case
02:09:09 <rust_collector> bent nails are best
02:09:26 <Ampera> good morning Ysjoelfir and rust_collector
02:09:29 <Ampera> how are you two doing
02:09:38 <rust_collector> I am doing slowly
02:09:44 <Ampera> then do slowly faster
02:10:17 <rust_collector> whyyyyyyy? there is nothing to do
02:10:31 <Ampera> so you can have nothing to do faster
02:10:36 <Ampera> that way you have things to do sooner
02:11:23 <rust_collector> you are less confusing then german laws
02:11:44 <Ysjoelfir> indeed. please try harder
02:11:53 <Ysjoelfir> I'm pretty fine i think
02:12:15 <Ampera> Ysjoelfir, if I harder try the try I know law the try I hard, to try it hard. If I hard, then hard try I do hard the try, but law try the hard Germany.
02:12:36 <Ysjoelfir> great, done
02:12:37 <rust_collector> Work called me at 6.50, asking if I was supposed to be there at 5... which was correct.
02:12:56 <Ampera> that explains why you have nothing to do anymore
02:12:57 <Ysjoelfir> sounds about right I guess?
02:13:28 <Ampera> I am breaking shit
02:13:39 <rust_collector> WOOHOO!
02:13:49 <Ampera> and being paid to do it
02:14:10 <Ampera> I even get to complain at the people who made the shit
02:14:15 <Ampera> that their shit is broken
02:14:38 <rust_collector> I broke your shit, and not your shit is broken...
02:15:03 <Ampera> both
02:15:10 <Ampera> the shit was broken but I broke it harder
02:15:17 <rust_collector> good good
02:59:20 <Ysjoelfir> So. Just decided to completely delete my facebook and other social media stuff, except youtube. at least if I find out how to do that.
03:00:08 <rust_collector> yeah, that is a project
03:03:44 <rust_collector> I do not remember how I did it, but I had to send a request somewhere, iIrc. it was very very hard to find out how and to where
03:07:18 <Ysjoelfir> yep, seems rather difficult. was way easier like... 5 years ago, when I deleted the stuff once. I actually don't realy know why I registered later again

03:15:35 <K> bhaha
03:24:53 <Ysjoelfir> I don't understand this strange language, but... lol :D
03:27:55 <rust_collector> language?
03:28:03 <rust_collector> https://imgur.com/gallery/NmTvoes
03:28:30 <Ysjoelfir> oh, right. thats probably not a real language at all :D
03:29:45 <rust_collector> I think it is just a spaceholder for audio things.
03:30:02 <Ysjoelfir> lol, that fox. nice :D

03:46:04 <Ampera> Ysjoelfir, how would you translate (German on the other side of the page), as an instruction
03:46:07 <Ampera> (to English)
03:46:34 <Ampera> I have Deutsch auf der anderen Seite der Blatt
03:47:28 <Ysjoelfir> Like, you have some text in english and want to indicate that the reader can find a translation on the backside?
03:47:33 <Ampera> yes
03:48:48 <Ysjoelfir> I would just write "Deutsche Version (or "Übersetzung") auf der Rückseite", if you want it completely informal, or "Eine deutsche Übersetzung finden Sie auf der Rückseite", if you want it formal
03:49:52 <Ampera> so (Deutsche Übersetzung auf der Rückseite)?
03:50:20 <Ampera> meaning, German translation on the reverse side?
03:50:34 <Ysjoelfir> yes
03:50:42 <K> backside!
03:50:59 <Ampera> thanks
03:51:17 <Ampera> just for letters I'm sending to relatives in Germany, I had my dad translate the entire letters, I just needed that bit
03:52:38 <Ysjoelfir> thats nice of you :)

04:02:49 <rust_collector> they are pretty good to melt snow with
04:04:27 <Ampera> what's the point of having children if you can't use them
04:04:57 <rust_collector> and they don't have to pay tax when you make them work either
04:07:31 <arch> is there such a thing as a resistance mirror? similar to current mirror?
04:07:37 <arch> but without using a resistor
04:57:36 <hsn> Ysjoelfir: u r the nice
04:58:14 <hsn> Kai ist Klug und nett
05:00:15 <Kuschelpony> arch, i could imagine something using gyrators, but would need to spent some thought to make it an universal solution
05:10:37 <rust_collector> hsn, what...
05:10:39 <rust_collector> uhm
05:10:51 <rust_collector> nett? well...
05:10:57 <hsn> Halo rust
05:11:00 <rust_collector> it is relative, I guess
05:11:07 <rust_collector> hell-o you
05:11:12 <hsn> Rust ist sehr nett auch
05:11:19 <rust_collector> uh huh
05:12:04 <hsn> Hah i can type german words without translator
05:12:55 <hsn> So what should i use .. schön ?
05:12:59 <hsn> rust_collector: ^^
05:13:08 <rust_collector> eeh, probably not
05:13:16 <hsn> XD
05:13:26 <hsn> Nett is more suitable i think
05:13:32 <rust_collector> probably yes
05:13:53 <rust_collector> otoh, someone will correct us, as we ar on the internet
05:14:23 <hsn> R u on the internet?
05:14:30 <hsn> Im on the couch

05:18:46 <hsn> Students from university come to me to help them on control theory
05:18:51 Join: Nothing\ ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
05:18:54 <hsn> Ive no idea what it is
05:19:06 <hsn> How the fck i graduated
05:19:11 <hsn> No like sir
05:19:17 <hsn> Only dislike
05:19:25 <rust_collector> heh. perfect. tell them it is just something they invented in school, and no one uses it, so just ignore that
05:19:42 <hsn> But ppl do i just suck
05:19:45 <rust_collector> well, if you only dislike, just stop it?
05:20:26 <hsn> rust_collector: which one should I stop .. the "not knowing what it is" or "recieving teaching requests"
05:20:51 <rust_collector> aaaaaanyway, now that you are guru, you must invent an idea of what that theory is
05:21:19 <rust_collector> you should stop whatever you only dislike, unless you like disliking
05:22:39 <Ysjoelfir> woohoo! I am nice!
05:23:30 <rust_collector> in norwegish nett means... something like petite
05:25:04 <hsn> Ysjoelfir is expert in and guru
05:25:31 <hsn> Im crappy noob who knows few stuff and bully his boss
05:25:47 <rust_collector> well, then you are ready
05:26:03 <rust_collector> when do you get promoted?
05:26:07 <Ysjoelfir> nah. T3sl4 is the real guru. I am just an.... amateur at best
05:26:46 <hsn> Ysjoelfir: that is .. indeed .. T3sl4 is .. the red zone in RPM gauge
05:28:19 <rust_collector> T3sl4 is inefficient?
05:28:29 <hsn> Isnt amateur is catagory in porn ?
05:29:01 <rust_collector> sorry, butt I cunt tell you
05:29:20 <hsn> Seriously
05:29:28 <Ysjoelfir> yes
05:29:54 <hsn> Ah ok .. what is it .. young ppl or noob ppl ?
05:30:10 <rust_collector> paid less people?
05:30:32 <Ysjoelfir> its that kind of movie where the 18yo guy with his barely 18yo girl is like "omfg which hole is the one I need!?", while the video gets recorded on a potato held vertical
05:31:36 <hsn> So more natural than porn star faking and screaming on nothing?
05:32:21 <hsn> Its all lame acts anyway
05:33:18 <rust_collector> llama
05:37:58 <Ysjoelfir> yes
05:45:58 * electrohead wonders around
05:46:36 <rust_collector> much wonder
05:50:35 <hsn> Wonderbar
06:20:15 <Nothing\> haha
06:20:15 <Nothing\> there's a new strain of corona virus
06:20:36 <Nothing\> they discovered it in britain, they've gone into full lockdown and pretty much every country has banned travel there
06:21:06 <Nothing\> so far as they can tell the only difference is it's far more infectious than the original strain, and i think they said it had 40 or 60 mutations
06:21:31 <Nothing\> but i was just thinking there go those vaccines down the shitter
06:21:37 <Nothing\> back to square one
06:22:57 <Nothing\> WTF
06:23:10 <Nothing\> okay, so canada just joined the list of countries banning travel to the UK, right
06:23:18 <Nothing\> but only for the next 72 hours
06:23:24 <Nothing\> what good is that gonna do?
06:24:02 <Nothing\> well i'll be jiggered
06:24:06 <Nothing\> i just crashed hexchat
06:24:41 <Nothing\> entering a /server command right as it made an unsuccessful attempt to connect to another server

07:05:13 * Nothing\ smooches Ampera <3 <3 <3
07:05:22 <Ampera> how are you doing Nothing\
07:05:25 <Nothing\> Ysjoelfir, i'd suggest checking google
07:05:53 <Nothing\> you'll probably get obsolete documentation and forum posts that were only applicable 5 years ago
07:06:11 <Nothing\> Ampera, started the day stressed but i'm doing much better thanks to mother's little helper
07:06:17 <Nothing\> (rolling stones reference)
07:06:27 <hsn> Covid20
07:06:44 <Ampera> about to go shopping with my mom
07:06:47 <Nothing\> hsn: yeah that would be an appropriate designation for it
07:06:57 <Nothing\> corona virus disease 2020
07:07:00 <hsn> Twitter.com/delete
07:07:23 <Nothing\> i never realized covid refers to the actual disease
07:07:33 Join: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
07:07:35 <Ampera> I'd log into twitter and help you, Ysjoelfir, but I deleted my account
07:07:35 <Nothing\> i always thought it was like, the semi-formal name of sars-cov-2
07:07:49 <Ampera> SARS-CoV-2 is the name of the virus
07:07:53 <Nothing\> yup
07:07:55 <Ampera> COVID-19 is the name of the disease the virus causes
07:08:06 <Nothing\> i never liked the name corona virus cuz it's such a vague name
07:08:12 <Nothing\> i mean the common cold is a corona virus
07:08:18 <Ampera> they should have called it SARS 2
07:08:25 <Nothing\> electric boogaloo?
07:08:25 <Ampera> or NovaSARS
07:08:37 <hsn> Corona is large family of viruses
07:09:02 <Nothing\> Ampera, SARS 2 2.0
07:09:07 <Nothing\> at least for the mutated form
07:09:16 <Ampera> SARS 2 Episode 1
07:09:39 <Nothing\> we're into like episode 3 at this point
07:09:40 <hsn> S2e1
07:09:50 <Ampera> there is no such thing Nothing\
07:09:53 <Ampera> the number 3 does not exist
07:09:58 <Nothing\> like we were in full lockdown back in the spring
07:10:07 <Nothing\> then they removed the lockdown
07:10:10 <hsn> Vii ?
07:10:15 <Ampera> we're just on the brink of not being locked down
07:10:20 <hsn> iiv
07:10:22 <Ampera> and like one of the few places that isn't locked right the fuck down
07:10:30 <Nothing\> and now suddenly the numbers are breaking records every day and people are wondering why
07:10:40 <Nothing\> Ampera, ours starts on thursday
07:10:57 <Nothing\> so i'm gonna stock up on shatter, ejuice and coils
07:11:01 <Nothing\> all of the essentials
07:12:09 <Nothing\> i should get some potassium chloride
07:13:06 <Ampera> We're still open pretty much
07:14:11 <Ampera> We're doing worse than we were in the fall, but the country is averaging at around 800-900 active cases right now
07:19:49 <Nothing\> Ampera, canada's getting around 2500-3000 new cases a day
07:20:26 <Nothing\> i just read an article saying out of the 500,000 cases we've had, the last 100,000 have occurred in the last 15 days
07:20:46 <Ysjoelfir> wow. finally found the "deactivate your account" shit. did it - "your account is suspended and isn't allowed to perform this operation"
07:20:51 <Nothing\> and that's 500,000 since this all started
07:21:21 <Nothing\> Ysjoelfir, i deleted my FB account a couple years ago and had just as much trouble
07:21:25 <rust_collector> Ysjoelfir, aaaand, if that worked, your account would still be there
07:21:29 <Nothing\> they sure don't make it easy for you
07:22:10 <Nothing\> man Ampera lol
07:22:12 <Ysjoelfir> yes, rusty. which is annoying as fuck. I want it gone NOW
07:22:15 <Nothing\> i wa just thinking about it today
07:22:38 <rust_collector> Ysjoelfir, did you do something clever while you were drunk last night?
07:22:41 <Nothing\> during my sentencing hearing, i was so messed up on clonazepam i only have like 5 memories for the entire day
07:23:01 <Nothing\> which is just how i wanted it
07:23:07 <Nothing\> i didn't wanna remember that shit
07:23:47 <Nothing\> and they say people who take benzos like clonazepam during and after traumatic events can mitigate the chances of developing PTSD
07:24:57 <Nothing\> lol my mom's putting up the xmas tree
07:25:14 <Nothing\> oh man, my one cat knocked over our glider rocker and the table next to it some time last night
07:26:07 <Nothing\> still, i don't think that'll compare to when my brother's 3 year old daughter knocked over a 60gal fishing tank that got all into their HVAC system
07:26:19 <Ysjoelfir> No. I did have a good drink, but i just don't want to have accounts I don't need everywhere
07:26:34 <Nothing\> Ysjoelfir, i know what you mean, man
07:26:40 <Nothing\> it feels like a liability
07:26:50 <Nothing\> but who knows how long they keep they info they have on you
07:26:59 <rust_collector> Nothing\, does the ac smell like fish now?
07:27:03 <Nothing\> i assume it's around a month
07:27:17 <Nothing\> rust_collector, lol dude i have a story that goes that that
07:27:27 <Nothing\> in my one place i had a problem with mice and rats
07:27:29 <rust_collector> hah, they will keep it until the server it is on dies
07:27:36 <Nothing\> well, something musta died in my vents
07:28:10 <Nothing\> cuz for the rest of the winter, my entire house reeked of rotting flesh
07:47:09 <rust_collector> good night
07:47:53 <Ysjoelfir> n8 rusty
07:55:44 <Nothing\> weird, i think i blew a transistor
07:55:49 <Nothing\> but there's no reason for it
07:56:41 <Nothing\> i had a standard NPN switch circuit with a 10k resistor on the base, 9vdc supply and 470ohm resistor on the LED connected to the collector
07:56:48 <Nothing\> there's no reason anything shoulda popped-
07:57:38 <Nothing\> i even double checked to make sure i didn't mix up my 10k ressitors with my 220ohm resistors since they look almost identical in the metal film variety with the blue coating
07:58:18 <Nothing\> gonna start poking around with my multimeter
08:00:00 <Nothing\> aha figured it out
08:00:06 <Nothing\> the switch on my battery holder was faulty
08:00:44 <Nothing\> even though it has an on/off switch, it doesn't make a proper connection when it's switched on and you have to hold the switch closed for it to work
08:01:13 <Nothing\> and here i was troubleshooting everything BUT that. Breadboard, transistor, LED, Resistors
08:01:28 <Nothing\> and it was all down to a cheap-ass 9v battery holder
08:01:43 <Nothing\> those switches probably don't have a terribly long lifespan

08:19:14 <Nothing\> does polarity matter in an electret mic?
08:21:56 <Nothing\> i'e got this dollar store PC mic where the strain relief failed and the cable became all frayed and the insullation broken, exposing said cables. So I stripped both ends down hoping i could use it for an amylifying circuit with a BJT. But I can't tell which wire was for the ring and which was for the tip
08:46:46 <Nothing\> damn you guys are boring today
08:59:42 <Ysjoelfir> i'm sorry
09:13:16 <Nothing\> it happens
09:13:23 <Nothing\> i mean, you better be
09:13:26 <Nothing\> :|
09:13:29 <Nothing\> :)
09:13:33 <Nothing\> :/
09:13:35 <Nothing\> :D
09:21:54 <Nothing\> it's not just you guys, i'm on another server that's usually active but for whatever reason tonight it's just as dead as this one
09:22:36 <Nothing\> actually, some of you would probably like that server since they're all about the computer nerdery and such

09:28:13 <Ampera> I am weak
09:28:21 <Ysjoelfir> whatever that is, I want that
09:36:22 <Ampera> Ysjoelfir, a big fat jar of cheese puffs
09:42:27 * Ysjoelfir just got himself a bowl of cheesepops from the storage

09:45:58 <Nothing\> ew
09:46:14 <Nothing\> i never liked cheesies or cheese puffs or any artificial cheese foods
09:46:22 <Nothing\> like american cheese
09:46:28 <Ysjoelfir> cheesepops aren't artificial
09:46:31 <Nothing\> or whatever it's called
09:46:35 <Ysjoelfir> cheesepuffs are, yes
09:46:48 <Nothing\> those cheese slices that aren't legally allowed to be called cheese
09:47:05 <Nothing\> here we call the kraft singles, but since kraft doesn't exist in yankland i dunno what you call it
09:47:16 <Nothing\> *call them
09:47:39 <Nothing\> we also refer to mac and cheese as kraft dinner
09:47:57 <Nothing\> it's one of those things like kleenex where the brand name takes over the regular name for it
09:49:19 <Nothing\> btw look at this phase diagram of ice
09:49:22 <Nothing\> https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/08/Phase_diagram_of_water.svg
09:49:34 <Nothing\> it has like 20 different states it can be in
09:50:22 <Nothing\> anywhere from monoclinic to hexagonal to orthoganol etc crystals
09:54:42 <steve30> We call them cheese slices here, but they usually do contain some cheese
09:55:00 <Ysjoelfir> We call that Schaiblettenkäse
09:56:27 * steve30 had a nice sleep
09:59:29 <Nothing\> steve30, i'm glad to hear you got a good sleep-
09:59:37 <Nothing\> i slept like shit on account of stress
09:59:59 <Nothing\> so when i woke up i took 20 sedatives to settle my nerves
10:00:15 <Nothing\> plus enough methadone to kill a normal grown man (literally)
10:00:35 <Nothing\> i'm just so sick of everything
10:01:01 <Nothing\> i need a few weeks to myself without any appointments or responsibilities or obligations
10:01:19 <Nothing\> i can feel myself starting to shut down mentally
10:01:49 <Nothing\> each day i become less and less functional
10:02:12 <Nothing\> between the anxiety and depression
10:03:43 <steve30> I hadn't slept very well for a few days
10:04:16 <Nothing\> me neither
10:04:28 <Nothing\> in fact, i was just nodding off yet again
10:08:10 <steve30> mmm, coffee
10:57:13 <T3sl4> https://i.redd.it/tq27rez2bk661.jpg
10:58:51 <Nothing\> mmm schnitzel
10:58:58 <Nothing\> made from pork
10:59:27 <Nothing\> T3sl4, d'aww
10:59:50 <T3sl4> oh, i was hoping it wasn't made from that kitty
11:00:02 <Nothing\> lol my mom says his tail doesn't match
11:00:26 <Nothing\> T3sl4, do what now?
11:00:52 <T3sl4> your schnitzel
11:00:53 <Nothing\> ugh, another damn hypoglycemic attack
11:01:07 <Nothing\> i mean, it's nothing dangerous, but it's enough to make me feel shitty and anxious
11:01:16 <Nothing\> T3sl4, oh lol
11:01:26 <steve30> kitty :)
11:01:31 <Nothing\> i couldn't eat cat, unless it was from sheet meat
11:01:38 <Nothing\> dog i wouldn't mind trying, though
11:01:55 <Nothing\> my grandfather apparently ate stew made from dog during the war
11:01:59 <Nothing\> WWII
11:02:13 <Nothing\> not sure what the story was behind that. I'm guessing lack of food.
11:02:44 * steve30 nibbles on T3sl4
11:03:02 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
11:03:03 * T3sl4 pets steve30
11:03:12 * Nothing\ cuddles Ampera <3
11:03:28 <Ampera> how are you doing Nothing\
11:03:43 <Nothing\> not too bad, aside from a hypoglycemic attack
11:03:58 <Nothing\> but i just ate literally oodles of sugar, so i should be right in about half an hour or so
11:04:22 <Nothing\> though i'm craving other sugary foods. i think i'll have some salted caramel ice cream
11:10:39 <Ampera> just got back from the store where I bought a load of delicious trash
11:12:25 <T3sl4> *drooling in raccoon*
11:14:28 <Tezzers> Huh. TIL that it's racist to say COVID originated in China because it's a racist conspiracy and other countries had covid cases before China, and all news sources that say it was China are invalid.
11:14:53 <T3sl4> no, its racist to say it's the "china flu"
11:15:26 <Tezzers> No, I have a person on a discord server saying it's racist to say it *originated in China*
11:15:36 <Tezzers> Because *it didn't originate in China*
11:16:11 <T3sl4> well, good luck convincing them they're wrong
11:16:28 <Tezzers> They asked for evidence though
11:16:51 <T3sl4> where does WHO say it originated
11:17:02 <T3sl4> or wait, is the WHO a chinese conspiracy too
11:17:06 <coppice> WHO knows?
11:17:28 <Tezzers> Pff
11:17:33 <coppice> The WHO is definitely a Chinese conspiracy
11:17:37 <Tezzers> Everyone knows it came from frozen food imported from Australia
11:18:02 <T3sl4> those delicious wombat dinners though
11:33:35 * steve30 wonders whether to go out on the bike this morning
11:38:55 <Nothing\> there i made up an xmas card for the nurses at the methadone clinic
11:39:16 <Nothing\> more so for the sake of the one nurse, but of course i can't play favourites so it has to be addressed to all of them
11:39:52 <Nothing\> basically said "thanks for your hard work that's made it possible for me and many others to live normal lives" and the rest of the christmas stuff
11:39:52 <steve30> is she cute?
11:39:56 <Nothing\> she is
11:40:02 <Nothing\> she's a bit chubby, but cute chubby
11:40:13 <Nothing\> i'd totally get with her
11:40:24 <Nothing\> you can tell she has a big heart
11:40:53 <Nothing\> like when i was waiting a long time for the doctor, she came in several times to talk to me and keep me company while she wasn't busy
11:41:07 <Nothing\> and apologized profusely, though it wasn't her fault. Which I told her.
11:41:34 <Nothing\> steve30, plus she's already seen my micropenis (literally) so there's no surpsises there lol
11:41:52 <steve30> hehe
11:42:06 <Nothing\> i mean it's still like 4-5in erect, but flaccid i'm less than 1in
11:42:13 Join: arch ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
11:42:30 <steve30> 5" is still perfectly usable :)
11:50:00 <Nothing\> steve30, my ex used to scratch the shit out of my back to the point she drew blood and left scars
11:50:06 <Nothing\> looked like i'd been mauled by a bear
11:50:25 <Nothing\> i have no doubt i'm able to pleasure a woman despite having a relatively small penis
11:50:45 <Nothing\> and pleasuring a woman is about more than just sticking your dick in them
11:50:56 <Nothing\> what i like to do is tease them for as long as possible
11:51:31 <Nothing\> you know, run my fingers up the inside of their leg and just before getting to her crotch, moving off to the side
11:51:38 <Nothing\> or just barely brushing up against a lip
11:51:50 <Nothing\> or doing the same sort of thing for breasts
11:52:03 <Nothing\> it drives them crazy
11:52:25 <Nothing\> then when you finally do get to penetration, it feels like 20x better for her than normal
11:52:36 <Nothing\> and she's ripe for an orgasm or 5
11:52:59 <Nothing\> assuming you do that for like an hour before getting into the actual penetration
11:53:28 <Nothing\> if she doesn't lose it and pull you on top of her beforehand, which is a very real possibilty

11:57:40 * steve30 feels turned on by Nothing\
11:59:24 * Nothing\ feels nothing from his coffee
11:59:31 <Nothing\> 2 cups and i'm still nodding
11:59:42 <Nothing\> well, working on cup #2
11:59:51 <steve30> i should probably have another coffee
12:01:52 * T3sl4 curries
12:02:12 <steve30> :p
12:02:35 <Nothing\> i also found this cool game i had for the 3ds called Retro Remix, you have to do challenges in classic NES games like collect all the coins on a level in SMB, or clean a level in donkey kong. or finish a course in excite bike in a certain time
12:04:08 <Nothing\> maybe i should take some more noopept
12:04:12 <Nothing\> that seemed to help earlier
12:04:14 * steve30 pounces onto T3sl4's shoulder
12:04:26 * T3sl4 gives steve30 a piece of tofu
12:04:31 <Nothing\> the stuff just tastes so awful cuz it's a pure drug, not a pill or anything
12:04:40 <Nothing\> so it's just so bitter, it almost feels caustic
12:04:53 <Nothing\> in fact, i should make a solution of it and test the PH
12:05:37 <Nothing\> considering the jar's over 10 years old i'd be surprised if it were even still potent as it originally was
12:07:01 <T3sl4> hmm, peptides, wouldn't think it goes bad by pH
12:13:56 <Nothing\> T3sl4, do you know of any successful attempts at making artificial proteins?
12:14:08 <Nothing\> or even artificial peptides
12:14:32 <T3sl4> it's standard synthesis isn't it?
12:14:32 <Nothing\> i was just thinking that'll be so cool when we can synthesize whatever proteins we want from scratch
12:14:41 <Nothing\> without needing cellulary machinery
12:15:10 <Nothing\> T3sl4, from what i read, they use cellular machinery to produce synthetic proteins
12:16:15 <T3sl4> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptide_synthesis
12:16:50 <T3sl4> they might not bother because it's so many steps, and the biological transcription is faster
12:17:22 <T3sl4> DNA is built in a similar way, but can be done in parallel by gluing sub-strands together, given certain restrictions, so it's not O(N) slow
12:18:52 <Nothing\> i was just interested in it cuz i thought maybe in the future instead of having these opioid alkaloids we use like morphine and fentanyl and dilaudid etc. But apparently there are peptide versions of opioids which i believe are based on endorphins
12:21:42 <Nothing\> it sounds promisinrg, depending on how addictive they are compared to classical opioids
13:09:50 <Nothing\> ugh don't you just hate it when you get an itch on on of the calluses on your feet
13:10:01 <Nothing\> so no matter how much you scratch, you can't feel it at all
13:36:34 Quit: arch ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
13:37:03 <Nothing\> T3sl4, speakinrg of DNA
13:37:16 <Nothing\> apparently the UK police have this spray now
13:37:22 <Nothing\> it contains a unique DNA
13:37:49 <Nothing\> so they can tag suspects with it so when they catch up to them later they can use the fact that they have this DNA on them as proof that they were present for the crime
13:38:11 <Nothing\> i thought that was a pretty cool idea
13:38:32 <T3sl4> oh yeah
13:38:36 <Nothing\> or they (police in general) have this device that's like a grappling hook, minus the wire
13:42:49 * Nothing\ slaps himself awake
13:43:04 <Nothing\> i guess getting up to pee would have the same effect
13:43:07 <Nothing\> brpee
13:43:29 <Nothing\> 2 large coffees, no tolerance, and i'm still falling asleep
13:43:31 <Nothing\> :/
13:44:02 <Nothing\> and not an iota of activity from my bowels
13:44:39 <DHess_US> https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9071155/Huge-queues-train-stations-desperate-Londoners-flee-capital-ahead-Tier-4.html
13:44:40 <DHess_US> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0XE24S6wjw
13:45:51 <Nothing\> heh
13:46:10 <Nothing\> yeah that new strain of sars cov-2 is really scaring people
13:46:26 <Nothing\> this time we might even have a paper towel shortage, too
13:55:09 <coppice> Dhess_US: rental rates are really good if you have a spare home in the countryside
13:55:34 <DHess_US> coppice, I bet.
13:56:41 <DHess_US> Rich people in the US often have vacation homes away from urban areas or time-shares.
13:57:21 <coppice> DHess_US: same here. So, they have to choose between fleeing to it, or making some cash renting it out
13:57:53 <DHess_US> Ran into a new problem. It is cold enough now to wear gloves when going out so how do I wash my hands when leaving the store if I have gloves on?
13:59:15 <coppice> DHess_US: mittens with build in UVC LEDs!
13:59:20 <coppice> built
13:59:23 <DHess_US> No snow yet this winter which is unusual. Usually have at least some snow by Thanksgiving but nothing yet this year.
14:00:58 <DHess_US> The thing about people fleeing the city reminds me of my time in disaster planning.
14:01:11 <DHess_US> I commented once at a meeting that freeways are useless for evacuations because if they are usable, then millions of people will try to use them.
14:01:46 <coppice> most planning is a disaster
14:02:28 <DHess_US> And that has actually been born out in practice. Even if the freeways are not completely jammed by excessive traffic, they get jammed by cars running out of fuel once fueling stations along them run out of fuel.
14:03:22 <DHess_US> Which reminds me a little of people who got stuck in California evacuation zones because the state shut the power off and they couldn't charge their electric vehicles. Brilliant!
14:03:34 <coppice> It could be worse. There could be more electric cars that need a bit more than a can and a filler tube when they run out
14:04:15 <DHess_US> Starter trucks used to be a thing. They just had a big battery bank on a truck.
14:04:49 <coppice> they exist in the UK. not ideal for restarting a dead car on a congested road, though
14:05:06 <DHess_US> I've only heard of them at airports for planes and in very cold areas.
14:05:59 <DHess_US> Maybe more likely would be a 10s of kilowatt generator on a truck.
14:06:12 <coppice> I think its a subscription service. I don't know if the truck is full of battery or generator, but they are supposed to get your electric car to the nearest public charger
14:19:06 <coppice> with cars standing around a lot more than usual, I wonder what the rate of breakdown service callouts for dead batteries in ICE cars has been like this year?
14:31:18 Quit: coppice ([email protected]) Quit: Konversation terminated!
15:45:46 <steve30> We have a Tier 4 now?
16:02:00 <Nothing\> ah dammit
16:02:06 <Nothing\> i had a message for coppice
16:02:22 <Nothing\> but i guess i'll just give it toyou, steve30 since it's just applicable
16:02:27 <Nothing\> as well as you DHess_US
16:02:36 <Nothing\> i love you, friend. <3
16:03:36 <Nothing\> plus i wanted to see what coppice's reaction to such a blatant display of affection would be, him being an android and all
16:03:56 Join: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
16:04:24 <Nothing\> what's up with this kugelpony guy?
16:07:38 <Kuschelpony> me?
16:08:10 <T3sl4> kegelpony?
16:09:45 <T3sl4> https://i.imgur.com/1fAJi.gif
16:10:38 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, yeah i was just curious cuz i never see you talk, plus your name always caught my eye when i saw it.
16:10:43 <Nothing\> mostly the latter
16:10:59 <Kuschelpony> nothing, i occassionalyl write, the last time was yesterday about 9 hours ago
16:11:01 <T3sl4> they whinny, just not when you're around i guess
16:11:12 <T3sl4> er i mean~~
16:11:26 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, yeah actualy i think i recall seeing you write. it can be hard when the chat really gets going through.
16:11:34 <Kuschelpony> and by the way, i am neither an spherical pony (your translation) nor a conical pony (like Ts3l translation) but a cuddly pony
16:11:48 <Nothing\> i thought kugel meant bullet
16:12:14 <Kuschelpony> usually i stay silent as i am not the chatty type, i have joined here almost only for enigeering ideas and quick suggestions, still not the forum
16:12:17 <Nothing\> what was T3sl4's translation?
16:12:47 <Kuschelpony> kugel has two meanings, primarily the Spehere, but also indirectly the bullet (as canon bullets were msotly a sphere)
16:12:51 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, ah, no worries. I was just intrigued by your name is all.
16:13:14 <Kuschelpony> t3sl4 s "Kegel" is cone
16:13:23 <Nothing\> frankly i don't care who does or doen't talk in here. It's a semi-free server and so long as you follow the rules and cause me no grief, who am i to care?
16:13:33 <T3sl4> hehe
16:13:47 <T3sl4> though "kegel" has other connotations, as i noted :)
16:13:47 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, lol kegel is also the muscle you flex when you hold your poop in
16:14:11 <Nothing\> the one that makes your penis bounce around when it's erect
16:15:08 <Nothing\> if anyone else can do that
16:15:13 <Kuschelpony> hmm, i never looked that much in the anatomical detaisl down there, its not my primary interest...
16:15:51 <Nothing\> frankly i'm not sure if they can, but i'm pretty sure universally among men there's a tendon going up the top center of the penis that attaches to a muscle that allows you to move it up and down at will
16:16:45 <Nothing\> but more odd than that is i can move my eardrums at will
16:17:13 <Nothing\> it makes a crackling sound, sorta like when your ears pop and works great for unpopping my ears when they do pop
16:17:16 <T3sl4> i can wiggle my ears, but only together
16:17:18 <Kuschelpony> im probably not the usual male
16:17:24 <Kuschelpony> more the engineer :)
16:17:40 <Nothing\> i could never wiggle my ears except by flexing my jaw muscles
16:17:45 * T3sl4 specifies a hug, gives it to Kuschelpony for approval
16:17:57 <Nothing\> one thing i can do though that i'm pretty sure is unique
16:18:06 <Nothing\> is i can relesease adrenaline on command
16:18:22 <Nothing\> i know this cuz i've looked at my pupils while doing it and they'll actually dilate
16:18:25 <Kuschelpony> maybe everyone of us has its special things, but not everyone knows
16:19:15 <Nothing\> i dunno how to describe how i do it, but the feeling is like this really tingly, almost overwhelmingly so, feeling that causes me to shake if i try to hard to release it or do whatever it is that leads to the release
16:19:31 <Nothing\> and unfortunately the pupil dilation only lasts a short moment
16:19:38 <Nothing\> oh yeah, my heart rate goes up as well
16:19:56 <Nothing\> i mean, i can't say for sure i'm releasing adrenaline, but it sure sounds and feels like it
16:20:34 <Kuschelpony> i wish i would have already finished my new speaker projects, then i could make considerably more sound in the bedroom to srat in the day
16:20:36 <Nothing\> i just wish i could describe the feeling better or what exactly it is i do to make it happen
16:20:48 <Nothing\> cuz there simply aren't words for how i make it happen
16:21:05 <Kuschelpony> btw: do oyu know of any european shop (not e-Bay) that has the blue boards with TPA3116 in PBTL in stock?
16:21:10 <Nothing\> it's like i just sorta let go of something inside myself and it all just comes flooding in for a few seconds
16:21:19 <Kuschelpony> hmm, interesting feeling
16:21:24 <T3sl4> i have the experience every so often that my heart starts beating from no obvious cause, alas i haven't found a way to control that
16:21:25 <Nothing\> sorry, wish i could help you with that one
16:21:42 <Nothing\> T3sl4, subconsciously caused anxiety perhaps?
16:21:43 <Kuschelpony> its ok
16:21:47 <Nothing\> T3sl4, or low blood sugar
16:22:00 <Nothing\> T3sl4, i get tachycardia and anxiety from hypoglycemic attacks
16:22:14 <Nothing\> like, it just comes out of nowhere for no reason
16:22:22 <T3sl4> nah, i might be doing and thinking of nothing in particular when it happens
16:22:26 <T3sl4> it fades after a few mins
16:22:40 <Nothing\> and the tremors always seem to affect my peripheral body more than my central body
16:23:06 <Nothing\> T3sl4, yeah you need not necessarily be thinking consciously about something that causes you anxiety
16:23:16 <Nothing\> it's a very tricky thing
16:23:41 <Nothing\> but i mean don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to tell you what you're suffering from
16:23:47 <Nothing\> just playing devil's advocate
16:23:56 <T3sl4> i'm not anxious about anything in particular, i have a low affect in general
16:24:04 <Nothing\> ah
16:24:06 <Nothing\> seasonal?
16:24:28 <T3sl4> then again, maybe i am prone to patterns of depression or anxiety, my behavior seems to fit
16:24:41 <T3sl4> is there a term for behaving depressed but not feeling it at all? :P
16:53:21 * steve30 pets T3sl4
16:53:57 <Nothing\> hrm i've gotta figure out if current conveyor ICs exist
16:54:07 <Nothing\> and the model numbers of popular ones
16:54:26 <Nothing\> i'd love to get my hands on some CCIIIs
16:54:48 * T3sl4 gives steve30 a saucer of coffee and cream
16:55:02 <steve30> mmm
16:55:48 <Nothing\> it seems like most current conveyors are sold as OTAs
17:06:10 <steve30> I see there's now a Covid-19.1.
17:06:16 <steve30> Or is it 19.2?
17:06:24 <steve30> Maybe even Covid-20.
17:18:51 <Nothing\> yeh the new one should be covid 20
17:18:58 <Nothing\> is 1 more than covid 19
17:21:59 <Nothing\> man i've gotta think of something to do other than staring at a static screen and periodically falling asleep
17:22:13 <steve30> We are not too far away from 2021, so I expect any subsequent covid will be Covid-21 at least
17:22:22 <Nothing\> maybe i'll just smoke a buncha shatter till i feel " groovy"
17:22:39 * steve30 suggests IRC to keep Nothing\ occupied
17:22:49 <Nothing\> tooslow paced
17:40:12 <Nothing\> gah i can't figure out how to disable predictive urls on chrome
17:40:32 <Nothing\> the documentation says to go to a menu that doesn't even exist
17:41:29 <Nothing\> it says to disable "predictive text" under the advanced options of the autofill menu but there's nothing even remotely similar to that
17:42:24 <Nothing\> all i want chrome to do is show my bookmarks and most visited pages as predictive text instead of whatever the hell it uses by default
17:42:37 <Nothing\> like, when i'm typing a url
17:43:03 <Nothing\> i'd prefer it to autocomplete the url from my bookmarks and/or most visited pages like it used to do
17:43:27 <Nothing\> i hate it when devs take a perfectly good feature and scrap it like that
17:43:44 <Nothing\> makes me wanna cut off their fingers and make them eat them
17:44:00 <Nothing\> or cut off my arm so i have something to throw at them

22:38:07 <Halcyon> :D
22:39:26 <Ampera> how are you doing Halcyon
22:40:20 <Halcyon> Sleepy
22:40:26 <Halcyon> Past my bed time
22:40:33 <Ampera> It's 06:40 now and I've been up since 02:00
22:40:51 <Halcyon> It's 2240 and I've been up since 0200
22:41:02 <Ampera> am currently working on a rewrite of my GPS emulator into a library
22:41:07 <Halcyon> \o.
22:41:10 <Halcyon> \o/
22:41:37 <Ampera> I was really learning a lot of stuff about C# when I was writing the first incarnation, but this one is really really slick
22:41:50 <Ampera> it is almost disgusting how much cleaner it is
22:41:58 <Halcyon> Smartie pantaloons
22:42:17 <T3sl4> it's nice how much clearer one can think, when one knows what to think about
22:42:58 <Ampera> I've also been doing inline documentation much better
22:43:06 <Ampera> so there's good comments on almost everything
22:43:40 <Ampera> the only unknown left really is some of the GPS outputs, one of which will be interesting
22:44:06 <Ampera> because my emulator may eventually run on a webserver, I need a way to have telnet events locally, which can't be done on a web application
22:44:56 <Ampera> so I'm going to write something that sends the GPS events to a client connected to some sort of secured port
22:45:27 <Ampera> I'm thinking of trying to use ssh (if it's available in a library) to do it
