02:12:02 <Nothing\> hey guys
02:12:20 <Nothing\> i had an idea i was wondering if icould get some input
02:13:01 <Nothing\> i was wondering if you could use the adhesive on aluminium tape as a dielectric in a homemade capacitor by putting 2 pieces adhesive side to adhesive side
02:13:13 <Nothing\> seems like it might save some time
02:16:36 <K> what is the worst that could happen?

02:24:50 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera <3
02:24:55 <Ampera> how are you doing Nothing\
02:25:00 <Nothing\> shit
02:25:05 <Ampera> that's good
02:25:06 <Nothing\> went to see that therapist yesterday
02:25:13 <Nothing\> his office fucking REEKED of weed
02:25:28 <Nothing\> i caught him off guard cuz he thought we were doing a phone appointment
02:25:34 <Ampera> There's worse it could have reeked of
02:25:35 <Nothing\> and i wasn't crazy, my mom smelled it too
02:25:56 <Nothing\> there is, but practicing therapy while under the influence is just outright unethical
02:26:08 <Nothing\> the guy went on for 2 and a half fucking hours about who knows what
02:26:13 <Ampera> file some sort of complaint/report
02:26:31 <Nothing\> at one point he stopped to go check around his office (we were the only ones there) because he thought he heard somebody in the bathroom
02:26:37 <Nothing\> i intend to
02:26:48 <Nothing\> i just need to find out with who, because he isn't a doctor
02:27:02 <Ampera> don't you have a parole officer?
02:27:10 <Nothing\> i do, and i was considering her
02:27:22 <Nothing\> or having my mom call her first, more credibility, ya know
02:27:26 <Ampera> seems like the obvious first contact, considering she's directly responsible for communicating between you and the people making you go to him
02:27:29 <Nothing\> then i'll make the same statement
02:27:40 <Nothing\> i'm going to bring it up with my psychiatrist when i see him
02:27:42 <Ampera> not sure if I'd find that more credible, but whatever works
02:27:43 <Nothing\> see what he suggests i do
02:28:31 <Nothing\> Ampera, yeah but i have also expressed my anger towards him about the other stuff, so i'm afraid they'll think i'm just trying to get back at him or something.
02:28:55 <Nothing\> but i can tell you one thing, if he had a patient who came in smelling like that, he'd tell him to go home and come back when he's sober
02:29:14 <Nothing\> like, i was almost choking on it, it was that strong
02:29:27 <Nothing\> i should have said something and recorded it
02:29:31 <Nothing\> somehow
02:29:35 <Nothing\> i dunno
02:29:54 <Nothing\> i had a million other things on my mind at the time
02:30:16 <Nothing\> i'm at least feeling better about the other stuff, but this now has me even more angry
02:30:29 <Nothing\> since it is an even worse breach of trust and ethics
02:31:19 <Nothing\> oh perfect
02:31:28 <Nothing\> there's a governing body for his type
02:31:35 <Nothing\> i can file a complaint through them
02:31:55 <Nothing\> ie therapists
02:38:21 <Lord_of_nothing> hi
02:40:44 <Nothing\> alright, i've got the relevant forms to file a complaint to the college of registered psychotherapists of ontario
02:40:48 <Nothing\> heya Lord_of_nothing
02:40:52 <Nothing\> how's it going?
02:41:01 <Ampera> sorry, was working
02:41:08 <Nothing\> no worries, it happens :)
02:41:15 <Ampera> I didn't sleep all that well last night, like usual
02:41:21 <Nothing\> i slept like a rock
02:41:23 <Ampera> so I'm almost dozing off
02:41:24 <Nothing\> finally
02:41:40 <Nothing\> now i've just gotta get this anxiety under control
02:41:48 <Nothing\> might help if i took my meds
02:42:06 <Nothing\> the only thing i could get was his registration number
02:42:25 <Ampera> I've had situational anxiety, I think everyone does to some degree, but doing certain things and being in certain places was usually the source of any anxiety I'd ever have
02:42:29 <Nothing\> but i'm sure i'll find it
02:42:39 <Ampera> but after christmas, it was the weirdest thing, I had constant anxiety
02:43:00 <Nothing\> yeah it's weird, half the time i don't even know what causes it
02:43:24 <Nothing\> just some trigger that hits my subconscious the wrong way and sends my limbic system into chaos
02:43:25 <Ampera> It's a strange mix of conscious/unconscious causes for me
02:45:21 <Nothing\> people are very dualistic
02:45:29 <Nothing\> at least, us addict folk are
02:46:26 <Nothing\> like with me, there's one part of me that wants to do nothing but things that feel good, consquences be damned, even at the expense of that/those which i hold dear to me
02:47:28 <Nothing\> then there's the other part which just wants a "normal", quiet life, to embrace those he loves and reciprocate said love, and treat everyone wonderfully while trying to make the world a better place for everyone, whether i like them or not
02:47:44 <Nothing\> cuz let's face it, you not liking somebody doesn't mean they shouldn't be happy
02:47:57 <Ampera> I think for me, many of my issues was wanting so much not to hurt or freak out people, strangers or those I care about, that I would never try to make things better for myself
02:48:21 <Ampera> even wearing female clothes outside of my own privacy made me insanely anxious, despite nobody really caring
02:48:32 <Nothing\> you mean by coming out? or whatever you wanna call it
02:48:43 <Ampera> coming out?
02:48:46 <Ampera> no I've done that ages ago
02:48:52 <Ampera> also *female -> feminine
02:48:53 <Nothing\> oh okay
02:49:00 <Nothing\> right
02:49:34 <Nothing\> i can understand that, especially in a small town
02:49:46 <Ampera> small town?
02:49:51 <Ampera> I live in a metro of a million people...
02:49:56 <Nothing\> lol my bad
02:50:04 <Nothing\> when somebody says upstate NY i imagine small towns
02:50:14 <Ampera> that's not upstate NY, that's bumblefuck NY
02:50:19 <Nothing\> lol
02:50:23 <Nothing\> like, fingerlake country?
02:50:32 <Ampera> never heard of it, so probably
02:50:38 <Nothing\> i'd imagine the marshes around there aren't too populated
02:50:44 <Nothing\> you've never heard of the finger lakes?
02:51:22 <Nothing\> they're a pretty cool geological feature
02:51:23 <Ampera> not really
02:52:26 <Nothing\> here:
02:52:27 <Nothing\> https://www.google.ca/maps/place/Finger+Lakes,+NY,+USA/@42.6584508,-77.2623111,129336m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x89d0e97f090ae217:0x20a5ccd2e680bc3b!8m2!3d42.7238165!4d-76.9297247
02:52:43 <Ampera> nowhere near where I live
02:52:48 <Nothing\> carved out by the receding glaciers at the the end of the last ice age, i believe
02:53:43 <Nothing\> yeah, that definitely looks like bumblefuck, ny
02:54:00 <Ampera> nah not really
02:54:08 <Ampera> there's still stuff there
02:54:23 <Nothing\> there is, but most of the towns i see are small, and within walking distance
02:54:25 <Ampera> bumblefuck NY is like anything north of the 90 and west of the 87
02:54:33 <Nothing\> ie, able to go from one to the other before cars
02:55:01 <Nothing\> ah
02:55:32 <Ampera> anyways, much of it was in my head
02:55:42 <Ampera> even when I went out in public the few times I did, nobody cared, and I know nobody really cares
02:56:07 <Nothing\> but deep down you could feel the judgement
02:56:11 <Nothing\> even if it wasn't there
02:56:13 <Ampera> nope
02:56:21 <Nothing\> that's good then
02:56:26 <Ampera> I felt like I was doing something I wasn't supposed to be doing
02:56:34 <Nothing\> ah
02:56:38 <Ampera> like I was breaking the law or something like that (extreme simile)
02:56:54 <Ampera> as I (believe) I'
02:57:11 <Ampera> ve said before, a lot of it was me thinking that it wasn't for me
02:57:29 <Ampera> like I didn't deserve it somehow, and kinda had to stick with what I had
02:57:47 <Ampera> and doing anything else was eccentric exhibitionism
02:58:58 <Ampera> idk, it's all weird and hard to explain
02:59:00 <Nothing\> kinda reminds me of when i started masturbating and i felt like i was doing something wrong
02:59:43 <Nothing\> my parents were pretty eh but obviously not thrilled about it when they caught me but i still had a lot of guilt
02:59:51 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
02:59:57 <Ampera> I've tired masturbating, I've never gotten anywhere with it
03:00:05 <Ampera> I get no pleasure out of stimulating myself down there
03:00:15 <Nothing\> especially given that everyone in school would make up stories about eachother re: masturbating
03:00:23 <Ampera> I might as well be massaging any other body part
03:00:47 <Nothing\> i remember my one friend told me he used to do it into a bowl, next thing i know there's a rumor that I did it in a bowl
03:01:09 <Ampera> ok
03:01:19 <Nothing\> yeha it was dumb
03:14:38 <Nothing\> alright, so i think i'm going to talk to my psychiatrist about this first, see what he thinks, then report it to my PO
03:14:59 <Nothing\> THEN if i still feel it's necessary, i'll file a formal complaint against him with the governing body over him
03:15:51 <Nothing\> my only concern is that the complaint process isn't anonymous since they need the relevant files for the investigation
03:16:06 <Nothing\> but oh well
03:16:33 <Nothing\> if he tries to make life hard for me afterwards, i can always file another one against him for that
03:17:00 <Nothing\> and my mom attends with me, so i've always got a witness
03:17:41 <Nothing\> hooo i tell you, despite the stress, i feel ALIVE
03:19:44 <Ampera> better than feeling dead
03:19:48 <Ampera> much better than feeling dead

04:13:20 <Ysjoelfir> I wonder where that Austrian guy went. The one who was here some weeks ago for some days. I forgot his name.
04:15:24 <DHess_US> He fell up. https://imgur.com/gallery/Qq0tIWT
04:19:41 <Ysjoelfir> thats pretty cool
04:20:26 <Ysjoelfir> should have done that with the christmas tree we had in frankfurt this year. but instead they decided to put that flat on a truck and drive it 800km over the Autobahn
04:36:14 <Nothing\> well, that was odd
04:36:37 <Nothing\> i just did the classic potassium permanganate + glycerine reaction
04:36:44 <Nothing\> but it didn't react the way it normally does
04:37:11 <Nothing\> it took it almost a minute for the reaction to start, the when it did go, it just burned slowly instead of at a rapid pace like usual
04:38:05 <Nothing\> and then it formed this orange substance, which started burning slowly and became a white powder that burned further into carbon
04:38:13 <Nothing\> usually it just burns straight to carbon
04:38:46 <Nothing\> i video taped it, so i'll have to upload it once my mom's off the phone
04:39:18 <Ampera> fuck am I tired
04:39:51 <Ampera> only about 5 more hours until I can pass the fuck out
04:39:58 <DHess_US> Nothing\, did it start out cold?
04:40:17 <Nothing\> DHess_US, yup
04:40:20 <Nothing\> was around 0
04:40:32 <Nothing\> my other reactions were done in the summer when it was 20-30c out
04:40:36 <DHess_US> That probably explains it.
04:40:59 <Nothing\> and from what i understand, the rule of thumb is that for every 10c the reaction speed halves or doubles, depending whether it's 10c more or 10c less
04:41:24 <Nothing\> but that's what i was told as a generalization in chemistry, not about this reaction specificially
04:41:55 <Nothing\> but yeah i figure because the reaction went slower, side products were able to form from the degredation of the potassium permanganate once it started burning and getting hot
04:42:19 <Nothing\> and the unreacted stuff was broken down into this orange stuff that was further broken down into the white stuff
04:42:43 <Nothing\> it was hard to tell if the orange/white stuff was reacting with the heat or the air but it burned even slower
04:43:15 <DHess_US> That is correct, and that reaction demonstrates it be heating up causing the reaction to go faster.
04:43:24 <Nothing\> anyway, i video taped it so i'm just working on uploading it now
04:43:43 <Nothing\> DHess_US, interesting, i never heard of it being used to show that
04:43:45 <DHess_US> But if you start at a colder temperature, then it takes exponentially more time, which also gives more time to other reactions.
04:44:23 <Nothing\> i wasn't even sure if it was gonna go, i mean only about half the glycerine made contact with it, but it just sat there for about half a minute or more before anything started happening
04:44:35 <DHess_US> Reactions which require an ice water bath usually do for exactly that reason.
04:44:44 <Nothing\> yup
04:44:57 <Nothing\> don't want them to run away with a positive feedback loop re: temperature
04:45:51 <Nothing\> more reaction -> higher temperature -> more reaction -> higher temperature or sustained high temperature ad infinitum
04:46:26 <Nothing\> it's times like this i regret dropping out in grade 9 before i had any real lab experience
04:46:53 <Nothing\> i woulda had a lotta fun i think
04:56:34 <Nothing\> k weird
04:56:48 <Nothing\> i can't seem to find the video on my phone to upload to my computer
04:57:38 <Nothing\> like, looking at my phone's contents via explorer, i know what folder the pics and vids are supposed to be saved to and they're there when i check it out on my phone, but on the computer the last video was from back in june which just makes no sense
04:57:57 <Nothing\> and of course there are no options on the phone to rename or move the video
04:58:14 <Nothing\> le sigh
04:58:29 <Nothing\> thank you steve jobs for making THIS the standard
04:59:25 <Nothing\> i'm just gonna do a wildcard search for *.mp4 and hope it comes up
04:59:45 * T3sl4 hugs Nothing\
04:59:48 <T3sl4> hey dude
05:07:38 * Nothing\ hugs T3sl4
05:07:46 <Nothing\> hey man <3 how's it going?
05:08:20 <T3sl4> having a coffee
05:22:19 <steve30> "Item contains: One item"
05:22:26 <steve30> Now that is an excellent ebay description :)
05:26:54 <Ysjoelfir> you'll get exactly one randim thing :)
05:34:03 <Ysjoelfir> so steve30, what did you buy?
05:34:18 <steve30> I didn't buy anything
05:34:24 <steve30> I was just browsing.
05:34:50 <steve30> The actual item was shown in the photo and the title. I just thought the description was funny.
05:36:34 <Ysjoelfir> booooooooooooooring :P
05:37:26 <steve30> Here's a good one though
05:37:27 <steve30> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vrc/114624912319?hash=item1ab02d5bbf:g:ItQAAOSwFzZf35LV
05:39:27 <Ysjoelfir> wow! buy it!
05:42:16 <steve30> i should go to bed
05:42:22 <Ysjoelfir> no.
05:42:28 <Ysjoelfir> you should buy stuff. and drink tea.
05:44:48 <Nothing\> welp, i bought stardew valley
05:44:51 <Nothing\> AGAIN
05:45:08 <Nothing\> bought it on the switch for $40, find it's only $17 on PC
05:45:33 <Nothing\> and in my experience they cut content out of ports for the switch and ps3
05:45:33 <Ampera> why did you buy it again, Nothing\
05:46:05 <Nothing\> Ampera, partly for the convenience of being able to play it on my computer and having cloud saves without having to pay $10 a month for the service
05:46:20 <Ampera> ah, so you did buy it on steam
05:46:24 * Ysjoelfir doesn't understand why anyone buys console stuff.
05:46:25 <Nothing\> partly cuz it's a damn fine game and those devs deserve the money
05:46:31 <Nothing\> Ampera, aye it was on steam
05:46:36 <Nothing\> all the games i buy are on steam
05:46:36 * Ysjoelfir has stardew valley for PC as well, btw
05:46:52 <Ampera> I do, but I haven't played it in a little while
05:46:53 <Nothing\> i checked out humble bundle and it doesn't seem to have the same quality of games as it did 10 years ago
05:46:56 <Ampera> I think it's started to bore me a bit
05:47:02 <Nothing\> yeah?
05:47:16 <Nothing\> i know the farming can be a bit much
05:47:21 <Nothing\> in terms of tedium
05:47:33 <Ampera> It's a sandbox, but it doesn't flow well. I always feel overwhelmed in terms of what the game seems to expect I do instead of what I want to do
05:47:37 <Nothing\> but sprinklers help a lot
05:48:08 <Nothing\> Ampera, well there's no time limit so you can take your time and just do whatever you come across or whatever interests you
05:48:29 <Ampera> my annoyance is that the dialog and NPC interactions seem to be built for much later in the game
05:48:35 <Nothing\> i was worried that, like harvest moon, the game would be over after the 2nd year and my performance scrutinized
05:48:48 <Ampera> so while I'm still starting out, they'll want crops and things I don't have, and it just feels like I'm being slow and stupid
05:49:04 <Nothing\> oh the quests from the board
05:49:08 <Nothing\> yeah don't worry about those
05:49:23 <Ampera> but besides that, it's kinda just got not much to it
05:49:34 <Nothing\> and some quests, like the bundles in the run down community centre can take years to complete
05:49:49 <Ampera> it feels like everything is just working in order to get more work
05:50:05 <Nothing\> cuz it requires a specific item that can only be obtained at a certain time of year, so if you miss that time of year you've gotta wait for it again
05:50:06 <Ampera> whereas with a game like Minecraft, you have a lot more freedom to marvel at what you've done
05:50:21 <Nothing\> Ampera, lol that's how diablo 3 felt to me
05:50:21 <Ampera> it's like I don't feel like I accomplish anything in stardew valley
05:50:30 <Nothing\> it felt like that one cocaine psa from the 80's
05:50:57 <Nothing\> where the guy's like "i do cocaine... so i can work... so i can do more cocaine... so i can work... so i can do more cocaine" while pacing in a room
05:51:42 <Ampera> some games have fun, chill grinds, stardew valley feels like a village full of people are disappointed in me that I haven't done better with the farm my poor grandfather gave to me
05:51:56 <Nothing\> only in diablo 3 it's "i kill enemies, so i can get better equipment, so i can kill harder hordes, so i can get a better equipment... etc"
05:52:12 <Ampera> minecraft I can shut off and dig holes for hours at a time, or build something absolutely monstrous
05:52:24 <Nothing\> it was still a fun game, but there's little in the way of end-game content so it's just meh by that point
05:52:35 <Nothing\> there's the spirit
05:52:40 <Nothing\> what's your opinion of terraria?
05:52:44 <Ampera> boring
05:52:48 <Nothing\> fair enough
05:52:58 <Ysjoelfir> you guys should start playing factorio with a friend of mine and me
05:53:09 <Ampera> I'll start playing it, think I'll finally play it long enough for it to be interesting, and then I get bored and don't feel like torturing myself just to make the game fun
05:53:14 <Nothing\> i tried factorio and i wasn't a fan
05:53:26 <electrohead> o/
05:53:27 <Ampera> I like factorio, and own it
05:53:40 <Ampera> my issue with it is I'm a bit too stupid for it, oddly enough
05:53:41 <Nothing\> Ysjoelfir, there's another game i came across last night that looks like a clone of factorio, lemme see what it was
05:53:46 <Nothing\> hey electrohead
05:53:53 <Ysjoelfir> hi mr head
05:54:13 <Ampera> I feel like all my logistics solutions suck, and I feel really limited with what I have to work with
05:54:25 <Ysjoelfir> Ampera, we are right now playing on our.... probably 20th attempt xD failed miserably for so many times, but its still so muich fun to investigate new methods to solve problems
05:54:29 <Nothing\> Ysjoelfir, mindustry
05:54:30 <Ampera> I enjoyed buildcraft for minecraft, but once you take away the third dimension it gets more annoying
05:54:32 <Nothing\> that's the name of it
05:54:39 <Ysjoelfir> yep, read about it Nothing\
05:54:44 <Ampera> Satisfactory is a similar game, it's basically factorio in 3D
05:55:11 <Ampera> but Satisfactory is anything but, it feels like once I've gotten past the tutorial, there is no goal
05:55:15 <Nothing\> Ampera, i wondered if that would be worth getting or not
05:55:22 <Nothing\> i mean, i like the idea behind factorio
05:55:27 <Ampera> I think in general, I'm not a big fan of games that make me think hard
05:55:30 <Nothing\> i just didn't like the mobs
05:55:37 <Ysjoelfir> i have played satisfactory. and yes, exactly that (the no goal thing)
05:55:47 <Ampera> for me games are relaxing stress relief, I don't enjoy games that feel like work
05:55:50 <Nothing\> plus i found the mechanics kind of confusing and awkward but i'm sure you get past that
05:55:59 <Ampera> like minecraft, I can make cool things, but it's around a core of casual stress relief
05:56:01 <Nothing\> of factorio
05:56:02 <Ysjoelfir> it is a nice one, calm and relaxing, but... its somehow missing the point to do all the stuff
05:56:09 <Nothing\> i keep wanting to type factoria
05:56:23 <Nothing\> maybe cuz my o is right next to my a key
05:56:36 <Ysjoelfir> I call it Fucktorio from time to time when it annoys me :D
05:56:47 <Nothing\> but no, factoria is the planet trump got banned from
05:56:57 <Nothing\> lol
05:57:23 <electrohead> hey guys
05:57:27 * electrohead offers hot wings
05:57:32 <Ysjoelfir> hi again mr. head
05:57:45 <Nothing\> lately i found this interesting game called "luck be a landlord"
05:57:45 * Ysjoelfir wants wings, but expects himself to puke if he tries one
05:57:49 * Ampera offers cold wings
05:57:56 <Nothing\> there's a free demo, or a relatively cheap version, which i bought
05:58:03 <Ampera> Ysjoelfir, you sick bastard
05:58:04 <Nothing\> but it's a roguelike slot machine game
05:58:05 <Ysjoelfir> not because I think they are bad, but because I just had a huge burger and feel sooooooooooooo full
05:58:18 <Ampera> I have a nice plate of fuck all in front of me
05:58:30 <Ampera> I made four hot dogs last night and some oven fries, and that's all I've had into the morning
05:58:35 <Ysjoelfir> cool. was it a nice fucking?
05:58:36 <Ampera> haven't eaten much else since Friday
05:58:43 <Ampera> Ysjoelfir, I wish
05:59:47 <Nothing\> where you earn coins for each item that comes up (doesn't need to be in a row or anything), and every turn you can choose from one of 3 items to add to the slot machine and some items will have effects on other items that can gain you more money. Like you can have a thief who takes your money, and you can have a banana peel which destroys the thief and provides you with twice the total money he's taken from you
06:00:02 <Nothing\> it's really unique, not to mention addictive a la skinner boxes
06:01:17 <Nothing\> the story being you're in a hotel or something and have to pay a certain amount of rent every few turns, so you've gotta make that money
06:01:34 <Nothing\> and if you fail to, you start over
06:26:46 <Nothing\> are steam points even worth anything?
06:27:13 <Nothing\> apparently i have 30,000 saved up, but when i go to spend them it's all useless shit like skins and profile backgrounds and stuff like that
06:28:13 <Nothing\> i figured they'd have a system like Nintendo where you get something like 1 or 10 cents in points for every dollar you spend and you can redeem them on anything on the eshop
06:30:45 <Nothing\> i've got a buncha these badges, but apparently they're only worth like 7 cents

07:49:28 <Nothing\> finally got the weird potassium permanganate reaction video up
07:49:30 <Nothing\> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEzW2TJ2a4s&ab_channel=Nothing%5C
07:54:54 <Nothing\> i have no idea what that orange/white boiling liquid is halfway through
07:55:31 <Nothing\> i thought maybe it was glycerin mixed with carbon or something but it kept burning until there was just carbon left

08:26:46 <TheDude> Nothing\, if you really had the intention to respond, you would have had your fingers already on the keys, ready to type
08:26:51 <TheDude> but you didn't, so that's on you
08:27:39 <TheDude> haha, I bet he left the channel thinking "ugh, nobody is in here, why do they even bother having irc?"
08:28:34 <Nothing\> lol
08:28:39 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera <3
08:28:45 <Ampera> how are you doing Nothing\ and TheDude
08:28:52 <Nothing\> doing alright
08:29:21 <TheDude> meh, I've been better
08:29:27 <TheDude> mostly bored
08:29:35 <Nothing\> thinking i might go down for a nap. i'm finally catching up on all thesleep i missed while i was sick
08:29:45 <TheDude> somewhat irritated that I've been unable to reach my bloody fucking bank today
08:30:27 <TheDude> you call them, the automated call thing asks you to select <option>
08:30:35 <TheDude> you select it and it thanks you for calling them
08:30:37 <TheDude> hangs up
08:30:39 <TheDude> -.-
08:30:47 <TheDude> what the fucking fuck
08:30:53 <TheDude> you go on their website
08:31:05 <TheDude> they have a web chat thing for customer support
08:31:24 <TheDude> you click what you want, it tells you a consultant will respond shortly
08:31:37 <TheDude> and after that it just randomly disconnects and tells you nobody was able to tend to you
08:31:42 <TheDude> sent them an email
08:31:59 <TheDude> and got an automatic response that they're really swamped with work and it will take them a while to get back to me
08:32:14 <TheDude> and in the meantime, I'm unable to use my card
08:32:23 <TheDude> bloody fucking absolute cunt shitheads
08:33:20 <Ampera> 90 minutes until I can finally have a nice peaceful sleep
10:03:42 <Nothing\> oh yay
10:03:55 <Nothing\> ontario's going into another state of emergency wednesday night
10:04:01 <Nothing\> 12:01am thursday morning
10:04:29 <Nothing\> which means a stay at home order, no travel unless essential like groceries or prescriptions
10:04:35 <Nothing\> no indoor gatherings
10:04:59 <Nothing\> for some reason they said outdoor gatherings are limited to 5 people
10:05:15 <Nothing\> but if you're ordered to stay at home, how are outdoor social gatherings still allowed?
10:05:24 <Nothing\> that's not exactly essential
10:05:56 <Nothing\> and on top of that, they're sending kids back to school before the state of emergency and stay at home order is due to be over
10:06:29 <Nothing\> i hope doug ford gets politically lynched over this
10:07:17 <Nothing\> i used to like him, but this is showing his true character and it's ugly as you would expect from any politicians
10:08:21 <Nothing\> especially helping other politicians to cover it up when they traveled outside of the country for the holidays while telling everyone else they couldn't so much as spend christmas with their families and friends
10:09:24 <Nothing\> our finance minister already resigned because he was caught vacationing in st bart's and a whole bunch of others have been found to have vacationed over the holidays
10:10:17 <Nothing\> and ford's trying to say he had no idea, like the premier has no idea where his underlings are. especially when there's already been a session of parliament that they would have missed
11:29:14 <DHess_US> No, Ford said the finance minister didn't *tell* him.
11:29:20 <DHess_US> He never said he didn't know.
11:29:46 <DHess_US> He tried to imply he didn't know while not lying.

11:44:30 <Ysjoelfir> gimme some, too
12:09:57 <rust_collector> and me, i need more fridge
12:12:43 <rust_collector> Ysjoelfir, wake up!
12:26:26 <Ysjoelfir> I am kinda awake
12:26:39 <rust_collector> good. it is time to go to bed
12:26:52 <rust_collector> well. sort of
12:29:56 <Ysjoelfir> Jep, I agree
12:30:11 <rust_collector> whaaaat? butt
12:30:18 <rust_collector> ok, have fun with that
12:30:23 <Ysjoelfir> I have to prepare mentally for the dish we chose for tomorrow. from that cookbook from yours.
12:30:32 <rust_collector> oh noez
12:30:55 <Ysjoelfir> yez!
12:30:59 <rust_collector> pinnebrød?
12:31:05 <Ysjoelfir> Nope. We chose to try Fiskepudding.
12:31:08 <rust_collector> oh
12:31:22 <rust_collector> well, that is pretty safe, if you like fish
12:31:46 <Ysjoelfir> We do. Which is the main reason for trying it :P
12:33:35 <rust_collector> it can be sort of... bland. it depends a lot on.. well, what you put in it. most of the time, it is made out of tasteless white fish, so...
12:34:33 <rust_collector> but you can eat it on bread, I tend to glue it in place with caviar
12:34:51 <Ysjoelfir> I wanted to try halibut, as that is kinda cheap here atm
12:35:07 <rust_collector> sure. go for it
12:36:11 <rust_collector> that is the main reason why people eat fish. it exista, and is not too expensive
12:36:41 <Ysjoelfir> heh :D
12:36:48 <rust_collector> well, i will be here, installing windows
12:37:08 <Ysjoelfir> enjoy doing that. IU thought you prefer linux?
12:38:22 <rust_collector> well, now that windows 10 is getting sorted out, I will use that, and not some toy OS from finland-land
12:39:24 <Ysjoelfir> lol^^
12:39:44 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: Woo-hoo! https://t.co/TAMudnPaEO
12:40:23 <rust_collector> well, it is for this guy at work. I do this every few years.
12:41:05 <Ysjoelfir> Ah. ok, that sounds legit
12:41:07 <rust_collector> this time he has avast and mcaffee, and the windows thingie. and winzip driver updater.
12:41:13 <Ysjoelfir> xD
12:41:25 <Ysjoelfir> I see. that kind of PC expert
12:42:07 <rust_collector> yes, it lives in a nice little bag. i think he takes it out of the bag, does what he has to, and puts it back in the bag
12:42:50 <rust_collector> the thing in the control panel, or whatever they call it, says 61% of the battery power has been used by solitaire collection
12:44:01 <Ysjoelfir> oh wow :D that sounds nearly like my mums pc
12:44:14 <rust_collector> oh well, he said he did not want anything on it, just put windows on it. but I see he has a ton of pictures on it, so I guess I should copy that over. lots of pics from 2014 and up.
12:44:23 <rust_collector> wifes grandma does the same thing
12:45:27 <rust_collector> I am not sure if she even uses it every year
12:46:44 <Ysjoelfir> "I want you to jkust delete everything." - "even your 25 gb of pictures from your cat?" - "ARE YOU CRAZY??!!?!?!? NO!!!!" - "You said everything." - "Well obgviously not things I value!"
12:47:08 <rust_collector> he would not say anything if I just nuked it
12:47:11 <rust_collector> but
12:47:12 <rust_collector> eh
12:47:16 <rust_collector> seems weird
12:48:34 <Ysjoelfir> indeed it does
12:53:35 <rust_collector> ok, it is not that bad. 2114 pictures
12:53:39 Quit: Nothing\ ([email protected]) Quit: Leaving

15:52:38 <rust_collector> ok, did you get an insect bite on your pee-pee?
15:52:49 <rust_collector> or does it need to be reloaded?
15:52:53 <hsn> My work starts after 8 mins
15:53:07 <rust_collector> perfect
15:53:14 <hsn> But cant complete the milk
15:53:18 <hsn> Finish
15:53:23 <rust_collector> because?
15:53:29 <hsn> So me late today
15:53:31 <hsn> Still hote
15:53:35 <hsn> Hot
15:53:44 <rust_collector> the milk is still hot?
15:53:51 <hsn> And i dont enjoy it while driving
15:54:08 <hsn> Yes my milk is boiled in tea leafs
15:54:18 <rust_collector> you people.....
15:54:21 <hsn> With honey
15:55:40 <hsn> And i want to show my seeds
15:55:47 <rust_collector> oh, you got them?
15:56:00 <hsn> Yess one week ago
15:56:19 <hsn> The vid is uploading
15:56:21 <rust_collector> shipping does seem to take forever
15:57:06 <hsn> Jamaica airport it was stuck there
15:58:01 <hsn> I should be in office now lol
15:58:19 <rust_collector> I should be in bed
15:58:19 <hsn> Well i should get my nov salary
15:58:48 <hsn> https://photos.app.goo.gl/gf95NdA4JE5Vo2uF7
16:00:11 <hsn> Should u
16:00:24 <rust_collector> so, when can you smoke that?
16:00:28 <hsn> Nah .. go out enjoy the green
16:00:37 <rust_collector> well, it is 6 in the morning, I guess i should
16:00:40 <hsn> Smoke seeds?
16:00:58 <rust_collector> the stuff that grow out of the seeds
16:01:19 <hsn> Idk but appearantly 2-3 kinds grow out of 5
16:01:29 <rust_collector> I bet Ysjoelfir would like your melk
16:01:40 <hsn> And the expensive ones still inside
16:01:56 <hsn> Honey milk
16:02:05 <hsn> And tea
16:02:22 <rust_collector> yes. you said that. i think he would like that stuff
16:03:19 <hsn> Im trying to find proper image or recipe for it
16:04:18 <hsn> Anyways
16:04:42 <hsn> The big boss
16:04:53 <hsn> Which likes me
16:05:17 <hsn> Doesnt like the new developer i just added to team
16:05:54 <rust_collector> is he ok?
16:06:15 <hsn> My direct boss .. gave him same as my salary .. while my salary was derived from big boss 1-2 year ago
16:06:21 <hsn> Yeah he is ok
16:06:55 <hsn> He was leavimg the company .. and they give him better salary
16:07:10 <rust_collector> mmkay
16:07:34 <hsn> And i told my boss
16:08:01 <hsn> I dont like my salary but im not going to ask until we release this toilet
16:08:10 <hsn> And im in hurry to release
16:08:17 <hsn> Its fcking 3 years
16:08:53 <rust_collector> so, why don't you go to the office, and yell that you are leaving, then go outside, to the store, buy a snack, then go back, and do your job, then eat your snack at lunch.
16:09:10 <rust_collector> at least then you get to yell, and go, and have a snack
16:09:28 <hsn> rust_collector: because .. i dont know how to yell fir such thing
16:09:39 <rust_collector> if he is asking why you were yelling, maybe say you have earbuds in, and could not hear a thing
16:09:53 <hsn> I think im in hate with my direct boss
16:10:09 <rust_collector> it is like saying "I am leaving" just very very loud
16:10:19 <hsn> I blame him for acting like mr know it all but he doesnt and doesnt care
16:10:52 <rust_collector> well, if he knew it all, he would probably be doing something else
16:10:53 <hsn> No reviews .. no comments when u need him .. and when u in middle of somthing he jumps with random crap ideas
16:11:07 <rust_collector> that is fitting
16:11:26 <hsn> Fitting
16:11:45 <hsn> Thats fisting
16:11:50 <rust_collector> random crap fits well in the toiler business, I guess
16:12:37 <hsn> When i started he told me there is controller u ll join us as developer
16:13:01 <hsn> And then i asked for enclosure help so i design pcbs
16:13:38 <hsn> And then i had to find ready aluminum extrussion enclosures .. and do slide my pcb in
16:14:06 <hsn> And now to certify against all the standards .. while they dont provide them
16:14:37 <rust_collector> ooff. standards...
16:14:45 <hsn> And then suddenly he jumps to my design wants to add hanging screws in pcb that pushes the floor of the emclosure
16:14:57 <hsn> In order to "pass the vibration"
16:16:03 <hsn> Imagine u open sliding pcb
16:16:15 <hsn> In an aluminum extrusion
16:16:31 <hsn> And u find two screws points to the floor
16:16:41 <hsn> U slide and its
16:16:44 <hsn> Sssssssseeeeeq
16:16:57 <hsn> Scratchy sound
16:17:23 <rust_collector> add tiny teflon screw shoes?
16:17:43 <rust_collector> are these boards really big?
16:17:47 <hsn> Nah
16:17:58 <hsn> Not big .. no one knows anything
16:18:16 <hsn> He just bring suggestions from his imagination
16:19:06 <rust_collector> well, that is why it is good to be boss, I guess
16:19:35 <hsn> While im busy with not the design .. but the software quality he jumped and suggested this .. if u ask him but vibration profile is this much frequency and this much G power .. he will say .. haauh
16:23:32 <hsn> I dont mind a boss that brings good and bad suggestion
16:24:22 <hsn> But not a one who acts like he knows it .. and he is expert while he knows nothing and randomly throw his ideas into u
16:26:37 <hsn> I got disconnected so idk if u said somthing
16:27:23 <rust_collector> heh. well, if I did, I am not going to retype all of that.
16:28:07 <hsn> Lol
16:28:21 <rust_collector> i guess your job is to keep that guy busy, so he does not mess up anyone elses work. well done mr sir
16:28:50 <hsn> Yes thats good to keep him busy
16:54:21 <rust_collector> mm. so, i just tried smoked salmon wrapped in cheese
16:57:03 <rust_collector> that could have been much better than it was
16:59:15 <rust_collector> I mean, I would not feel bad about feeding it to starving refugee children, but I would enjoy watching them trying to not throw up while they eat

20:03:45 <Halcyon> I'm going OK
20:03:53 <Halcyon> The air cond was out at work today
20:04:01 <Halcyon> Had to shut a whole bunch of things down
20:04:12 <Halcyon> Basically did nothing all day except walk around with my shoes off
20:04:20 <Ampera> er
20:04:24 <Ampera> why did you have your shoes off
20:04:43 <Halcyon> Because it was 28 degrees indoor and it felt good
20:04:52 <Halcyon> I didn't bring a change of shorts otherwise I would have worn those too
20:05:17 <steve30> I have the AC on downstairs
20:05:18 <Ampera> things must be way chiller in Australia, most, if not all places of work really don't want you to be barefoot
20:05:28 <Halcyon> I had socks on
20:05:41 <Ampera> still barefoot, just with socks
20:05:47 <Ampera> 28 also isn't all that hot
20:06:03 <Ampera> that's about how hot my room gets during the winter when I have no ventilation on
20:06:11 <Halcyon> It was hot enough, the server room started complaining
20:06:17 <Halcyon> We had to basically shut it all down
20:06:26 <Halcyon> The backup chiller, which was supposed to kick in... didn't.
20:06:28 <Halcyon> So yeh, fun.
20:06:45 <Ampera> was debating mentioning the utility of backup systems
20:06:52 <Ampera> but, perhaps, a backup for the backup :P
20:07:03 <Ysjoelfir> mornings Ampera :) I'm fine, but I might have the covids \o/
20:07:08 <Halcyon> The building we're in has had air conditioning problems since the day it was built
20:07:10 <Ampera> oh that's good
20:07:19 <Ampera> out and over with it
20:07:37 <Halcyon> Ysjoelfir: Time off work?
20:08:04 <Ampera> when this building was built, electric air conditioning had only existed for 18 years
20:08:24 <Ysjoelfir> Halcyon: I'm unemployed anyways atm, so.....
20:08:46 <Ampera> Ysjoelfir, are you waiting on test results?
20:09:28 <Ysjoelfir> nope, since I'm only second contact I don't even get a test anymore in germanistan ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
20:09:42 <Ampera> wha
20:09:46 <Ysjoelfir> yep
20:09:47 <Ampera> I can walk down the street today and get a test
20:09:57 <Ampera> probably wouldn't even have to pay much, if anything
20:10:12 <Ampera> I mean, I get their reasoning to be honest
20:10:21 <Ampera> the best place for someone who has covid is not going out to get a test
20:10:39 <Ysjoelfir> Yes, but thats not the reason. Germany just wasn't smart enough to buy enough tests, and they repeated that un-smartness while ordering vaccines. so..... no.
20:10:48 <Ampera> even with the drive through testing places, you gotta think even if you don't have covid, you're in a line full of people who think they do
20:10:55 <Ampera> haha
20:11:14 <Ampera> and to think I was ranking on NY being the bureaucracy capital of the US
20:11:19 * steve30 pets Ysjoelfir with the social distancing broom
20:11:39 <Ampera> we have enough vaccines, we're just giving them to hospitals that aren't equipped for mass inoculation
20:12:26 <Ampera> so while they might have the fridges (or might not) to store them, they're understaffed as it is, and simply are centralized single places that make it hard for the people eligible to be vaccinated to get one
20:12:57 <Ampera> while all the counties who have plans and sites in place for mass vaccination since forever are wondering wtf
20:12:57 <Ysjoelfir> since mrs. spouse said at the doctors that a child in the Kindergarden hat the covids and now she feels sick, she is already contact 1. she gets a test, I don't. Especially since children are basically sterile, according to german education ministries.
20:13:18 <Ampera> children are sterile if you load them into a furnace
20:15:10 <Halcyon> Ampera, you don't generally get out of the car at drive-through testing places?
20:15:17 <Ampera> never been
20:15:22 <Ampera> my guess is they do you through the window
20:15:27 <Halcyon> So even if the person behind you has it, you aren't going to catch it
20:15:31 <Ysjoelfir> thats what everyone who has even remotely seen a child in their live knows. but not the german ministries. they just decide to hide studies themselves have ordered because they would confirm that they were idiots the whole last year and just didn't do anything while covid was "tame" in the summer. instead they propagate that schools and childcare need to reopen ASAP and that those places are one of the SAFEST EVER for children to
20:15:31 <Ysjoelfir> pandemic
20:15:47 <Halcyon> Yes, they "do you" through the window
20:15:48 <Halcyon> Hahaha
20:16:06 <Ampera> Halcyon, airborne particles, surfaces, you all being done in the same spot, I'd imagine the chances aren't perfect either way, but it's more risk than standing in the park
20:16:25 <Ampera> since, considering ~1 in 10 test positive rates, there is likely going to be at least one person who has it in line
20:16:41 * Ampera pops a cap in Halcyon reverse drive-thru style
20:16:49 <Halcyon> COVID-19 doesn't last long in the air. Whilst it's "airborne", it's the droplets that are suspended in air, albeit for a very short time and distance.
20:17:27 <Ampera> Ysjoelfir, Europe simultaneously takes itself too serious, and also manages to be a massive problem zone anyways
20:17:35 <Halcyon> The virus is as good as dead in outside air, unless you cough in close proximity of someone, or the virus settles and survives on a surface
20:17:38 <Ampera> Germany is a country of paradoxes.
20:18:05 <Ampera> Halcyon, I just said surfaces, and wind is certainly a thing
20:18:06 <Halcyon> Even then, the viral load has to be sufficiently high for someone to catch it.
20:18:43 <Halcyon> Wind yes, but with wind comes increased evaporation. The virus particles travel through air in droplet form, not as the raw virus.
20:18:43 <Ampera> my point is even if it is safe
20:18:45 <Ampera> what have you done?
20:18:51 <Ampera> if you're sick, you stay home anyways
20:18:56 <Halcyon> Exactly
20:19:32 <Ampera> Halcyon, around this time of year, evaporation is particularly low, as while the air is dry, it's also frigid
20:19:43 <Ampera> even in summer, evaporation is difficult despite the increased surface area, as we have incredibly humid air
20:19:48 <Ysjoelfir> yep, they indeed do. which is one reason I am not a europe union fan. there is just to much shitmongerie here.
20:20:03 <Ampera> not by indochina standards, but 50-80 sat @ 80f isn't uncommon
20:20:38 <Ysjoelfir> laws deciding over the bend radius of yellow fruits to decide when they are allowed to be called a banana and such things. paid by taxpayers money.
20:20:44 <Ampera> Ysjoelfir, as much as you might know to the contrary, I'm not sure Germany is the single core problem of the EU. I think the issue with the EU is they're trying to tie politically and ethnically diverse nations into a single government way too hard
20:20:50 <K> fwiw here govt is considering involving veterinaries and dentists in innoculation effort
20:20:58 <Ampera> why not
20:21:00 <K> kinda makes sense
20:21:09 <Ampera> you just need someone who can handle needles safely
20:21:14 <Ysjoelfir> thats exactly the problem Ampera.
20:21:25 <K> yea, we got some moderna vaccines, less hassle about storage and transport
20:21:27 <Halcyon> It's not just evaporation though, temperature, surface type, light, all have a significant impact on the virus. Once you get below about 20 degrees C, the lifetime of the virus significantly decreases.
20:21:36 <Ampera> I like the concept of a treaty union, but the EU hasn't been one, probably since it's been the EU
20:22:02 <Ampera> trade, transit, and residence agreements are all really nice, even a unified currency can be convenient (despite having its own problems)
20:22:23 <K> they should turn down the internal heating of public spaces to 15
20:22:40 <Halcyon> Or turn it up above 30-40 degrees, either way :P
20:22:49 <Ampera> but once they start getting hard into criminal law, such as copyright
20:23:18 <Ysjoelfir> despite that they also want to create a system of unity that just can't work. like with the vaccine orderings. that stuff we can get here has to be stored at minus 70C the whole time or otherwise its unusable. instead of delegating the doses for countries that just CAN'T transport and store that because they don't have the machines for that to some other country who can and needs it, they just decide to store it for when they have
20:23:18 <Ysjoelfir> technology. wtf?
20:23:22 <Halcyon> On many surfaces. the viable life is measured in minutes or hours and that's assuming you are licking surfaces
20:23:32 <Ampera> no matter what, celsius is the /one/ unit/scale I've never been able to grasp in my mind
20:23:44 <Ampera> if you told me 10 meters away I'd get that, but I have no fucking clue what 15, 30, 40c are
20:23:53 <Halcyon> 100 degrees is the temperature of boiling H2O
20:23:56 <Ysjoelfir> EEVBlog convert 30c to f
20:23:57 <EEVBlog> The result is: 86 f
20:23:58 <Halcyon> 0 is Freezing point
20:24:27 <Ampera> yes I know the definition of the reverse celsius scale
20:24:52 <Ampera> the problem is I can't map 32 <-> 212 to 0 <-> 100 in my head
20:24:55 <K> ice is 0, scolding hot watter is close enough to be 100
20:25:01 <Ampera> especially when it's weather when half that scale isn't even used
20:25:15 <Halcyon> *shrug*
20:25:19 <Halcyon> Sounds like a you problem :P
20:25:25 <K> yea u weird
20:25:27 <Ysjoelfir> I have the same problem, just the other way around. I can kind of envision what a mile, inch, galon, cup, whatever, is, but what is one fahrenheit? :D
20:25:28 <Ampera> /ban halcyon being annoying
20:25:29 <Ampera> whoops
20:25:51 <K> anyoning
20:26:02 <Ampera> Ysjoelfir, with f it's easy though, because 100 is fucking hot and 0 is fucking cold
20:26:09 <Ampera> and 50 is not that hot and not that cold
20:26:12 <K> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anyon
20:26:23 <K> 50 is about tea temp?
20:26:40 <Ampera> with C 50 is you're on the fucking sun, and 0 is mildly cold
20:26:57 <Ampera> K, if you like tepid tea
20:27:04 <Ampera> I'm talking weather/room temperature
20:27:12 <K> ah.
20:27:18 <Ampera> good tea temperature I imagine is probably around 120f or more
20:27:25 <K> 50C
20:27:33 <Ampera> 120f ~= 50C
20:27:34 <K> EEVBlog convert 50C to f
20:27:34 <EEVBlog> The result is: 122 f
20:27:40 <K> yay
20:27:50 * Ysjoelfir now reads about anyons
20:28:12 <Ampera> I have a few snap points for where C matches F, but I can only vaguely guess as to what 27C is
20:28:21 <Ampera> whereas if you said, 72f, I'd know /exactly/ what that feels like
20:28:29 <Halcyon> :P
20:28:44 <Halcyon> This is why I like Youtubers like LGR... they use metric
20:28:49 <Ampera> I could bake a cake using SI, drive somewhere in km, and fill up my tank in liters
20:28:50 <Halcyon> It makes sense
20:29:00 <Ampera> LGR uses both
20:29:03 <Ysjoelfir> 27c is roughly a warm summer day. to warm for my taste. above 30 it gets nasty for my taste.
20:29:04 <Ampera> like almost any american
20:29:12 <Halcyon> He put the stupid units in brackets
20:29:20 <Halcyon> But in spoken word he uses metric
20:29:22 <Ampera> I've yet to meet the American who does not use the SI
20:29:45 <Halcyon> Ysjoelfir, that comes down to where you live and what you're used to
20:29:48 <Ampera> whoever he is, he's probably in his 80's and not gonna be a problem in a few more years anyways
20:30:21 <Ampera> good summer day is between 80 and 90, higher than that gets a bit iffy, and once you go beyond 100f it's insultingly hot
20:30:27 <Ampera> and if you reach 120f you're arizona
20:30:33 <Ampera> and also dead
20:30:59 <Ysjoelfir> yeah Halcyon, I expect you to feel mildly cold at 30C, preparing to get a hoodie :)
20:31:19 <Ampera> The unit conversations are all fun, but the fastest way to piss me off is to insist that the US somehow doesn't use the SI
20:31:26 <Ampera> when we use it about as much as we use our own system
20:31:37 <Ysjoelfir> can't blame us, thats what we'
20:31:42 <Ysjoelfir> ...
20:31:43 <Ampera> you literally cannot go into a store and buy a package of food of any sort without it being marked in both units
20:31:48 <Ysjoelfir> re tought in school
20:32:09 <Ysjoelfir> "the americans are the only nation to keep using that stupid imperial system!"
20:32:15 <Ampera> that's wrong too
20:32:20 <Ampera> because we don't use the imperial system and never did
20:32:20 <Ysjoelfir> well, and the brits... and the canadians....
20:32:28 <Ampera> the brits and canadians did
20:32:30 <Ampera> we did not
20:32:46 <Ysjoelfir> I know. but you used something close to that^^
20:33:07 <Ampera> we technically use an SI-pegged adaptation of a subset of units from a precursor to the imperial system, which was redefined by the UK after we left the union
20:33:17 <Halcyon> Ysjoelfir, bah, shorts weather is anywhere from 10 degrees C and upwards
20:33:21 <Ampera> the official name is the US Customary System
20:33:46 <Ysjoelfir> to make it easier: your tons and other stuff were a tad bigger. ^^
20:33:55 <Ysjoelfir> Halcyon, yes, I agree strongly to that
20:34:33 <Ampera> while I'm playing the person who gets upset if words aren't used right, the metric system hasn't been used in well over a hundred years, ever since it was replaced by the SI
20:34:50 <Ysjoelfir> true
20:34:50 <Ampera> the SI is /a/ metric system, it's not /the/ metric system
20:34:54 <K> si, senior!
20:34:59 <Ysjoelfir> xD
20:35:05 * Ampera hugs the mexikan
20:35:13 <K> spanish!
20:35:27 <K> or portugese too, maybe?
20:37:31 <Halcyon> Oh Ampera, I had to laugh today
20:37:45 <Ampera> that sucks
20:37:49 <Halcyon> Our ESXi server died. Shut it down, it didn't want to boot back up (software issue)
20:37:52 <Ampera> I hate it when I have to do that
20:38:06 <Halcyon> Our systadmin is so anti anything that isn't Microsoft or some expensive service agreement
20:38:43 <Ampera> why's he not using Hyper-V then?
20:38:45 <Ampera> the fraud!
20:38:51 <Halcyon> No idea
20:38:59 <Halcyon> It would have been better
20:41:11 <Halcyon> I don't know how the hell he has things configured but one server not starting resulted in all the network shares being down
20:41:15 <Halcyon> So that was fun :P
20:41:37 <steve30> I have to go out in the cold soon. Hopefully it won't rain too much.
20:44:05 * Halcyon offers steve30 an umbrellan and a coat
20:44:09 <Halcyon> -n
20:47:34 * Halcyon installs Novell NetWare on steve30's computer
20:48:06 <steve30> havign never used that, i'm not sure I'd know what to do with it
20:48:21 <Halcyon> I used it in high school
20:49:35 <steve30> well, i'm off to the doctors'. Back later.
20:49:59 <Ysjoelfir> so, official order from the doctor: Mrs spouse has to quarantine herself and isn't allowed to go outside or anything. I, who is always around her, don't have to do anything. I can move around however I like.
20:50:42 <Halcyon> How the hell does that make sense?
20:52:40 <K> you are to self-isolate and be reasonable
20:53:15 <Ysjoelfir> It makes as much sense as saying that children are basically immune and sterile. So I don't wonder the slightest bit.
20:53:27 <Ysjoelfir> K: I do that for roughly a year now, so.... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
20:55:19 <Halcyon> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klaJqofCsu4
20:55:22 <Halcyon> I want these lamps
20:55:28 <Halcyon> Only because I can't have them :P
20:55:40 <Ysjoelfir> lol^^
20:57:07 <Ysjoelfir> I recently discovered "new" style led filament immitation lamps. those look realy authentic like the old carbon filament incandescent bulbs
20:58:57 <Ysjoelfir> https://drive.google.com/file/d/1kuK_3Tu_CPBKv-3UO-aF_yfaAZNS4hIq/view?usp=sharing
20:59:15 <Halcyon> Oh neat
21:06:14 <Ysjoelfir> yeah
21:06:27 <Ysjoelfir> though its more like a mood lamp they say. it has only .5W.
21:06:41 <Ysjoelfir> but I found it bright enough to be used in my bedroom as a reading lamp
21:06:54 <Halcyon> I prefer subtle lighting
21:06:55 <Ysjoelfir> it also makes a realy warm light which makes me sleepy, so thats perfect
21:07:06 <Halcyon> I have dimmers on almost every light in my house and almost always run them at minimum
21:08:42 <Ysjoelfir> we use a whole bunch of led fairylights and led strips for all kind of lighting. thats enough most of the time
21:17:03 Join: Einstein ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
21:21:21 <Ampera> When I eventually buy a house, I intend to vy for the most efficient lighting possible
21:21:30 <Ampera> /except/ for christmas time
21:21:42 <Ampera> as under no circumstances will I buy LED christmas lights
21:21:45 <Ampera> it's immoral I say
21:22:34 <Ysjoelfir> I agree, but mrs. spouse likes her fancy colorful led lamps
21:22:59 <Ampera> I wish they made RGB bulbs that work over X10

21:39:56 <Ysjoelfir> wtf is that for a name?
21:40:00 <Ysjoelfir> Hi, my name is Zgr
21:40:50 <Ampera> how do you say it
21:40:56 <Ampera> zigger?
21:41:22 <Ysjoelfir> ssssskkrrr? I dunno? K? Maybe thats something from your area?
21:42:57 <K> u wot?
21:43:14 <K> no, Zgr sounds like a bad variable name to me
21:43:20 <Ysjoelfir> haha :D
21:44:01 <K> our names usualy end with "s" for m or "a"/"e" for m
21:44:06 <K> for f
21:44:18 <Ysjoelfir> maybe thats a unisex name!
21:44:27 <K> dont have those i think
23:26:23 <T3sl4> wow, that's advanced simpsonsshitposting https://i.redd.it/iq7o4azes0b61.jpg

23:52:19 <steve30> hi
23:52:54 <rust_collector> ok, so today is a day too. it looks a lot like yesterday. That is not very interesting
23:53:27 <Ysjoelfir> indeed not
23:53:32 <Ysjoelfir> its a boring one as well
23:54:03 <rust_collector> oh. I knew I should have gone into hibernation
23:54:15 <Ysjoelfir> yes.
23:55:16 <rust_collector> or at least go to the mail box, and see if I got some bills or something
23:57:19 <rust_collector> did you see hsn posting videos this morning? milk-tea
23:57:35 <K> disgusting.
