01:23:30 <DHess_US> Fucking Garmin's alert beep is the same as the failure beep on my RAID.
01:27:33 <JoeMamaPublic2> These must be some advanced AI bots here lol. Thank you for the response, I just wanted to ask around for some opinions on a functional digital multimeter that's around $28? Sadly, it's someone else's budget so they're inflexible about it. For that price, what's would be good enough in your opinion? Thank you
01:28:23 <JoeMamaPublic2> I saw Dave's video on AN8008 and was about to get it but found that there's blindspots in its range and doesn't have a relative function

03:09:26 <DHess_US> JoeMamaPublic2, those are the only two on my list of acceptable multimeters at that price and below.
03:09:28 <arch> hmm, is it a good idea to flood nearby areas with analog ground pour (small signal ground)? single sided board
03:09:51 <DHess_US> arch, only if it helps with return currents.
03:09:58 <DHess_US> Which seems unlikely.
03:10:00 <rust_collector> JoeMamaPublic2, I have the aneng8008, and it is not a very reliable meter. you can probably use it as a second meter, but get something better
03:11:06 <arch> in that case, ill flood the area with a VCC pour
03:12:15 <DHess_US> And high impedance analog circuits should have the power plains cleared around them.
03:12:29 <arch> https://i.imgur.com/KfEN0Km.png
03:12:45 <arch> see that small ground trace connecting the small signal gnd and pwr gnd?
03:12:55 <arch> pwr gnd is that top part
03:13:08 <arch> anything below is all small sig gnd. this is on copperclad pcb
03:13:59 <DHess_US> I don't see any reason to extend below 1 GND
03:14:39 <arch> yeah, that's what i was unsure about. so i was thinking of putting VCC pour below that instead
03:14:58 <arch> to keep analog gnd noise free near the switch node and the inductor
03:15:08 <DHess_US> Switching regulator circuits are sometimes laid out like that, with the flood fills cut away near sensitive nodes.
03:16:35 <arch> the original PCB which i made, i suspect the very noisy analog gnd was contributing to feedback comp problems
03:16:47 <arch> so this time, i split the agnd and pgnd as the datasheet recommends
03:17:21 <arch> original pcb, i didn't have the split gnds, nor did i have a separate filtering cap for the IC's regulator
03:18:33 <DHess_US> Yea, the agnd and pgnd should be connected at a single point.
03:18:45 <DHess_US> So the pgnd return currents do not flow through the agnd.
03:19:11 <DHess_US> A flood fill for the agnd might be used to shield sensitive analog nodes.
03:21:18 <arch> hmm it's gonna be hard to get VCC pour below that gnd point mentioned. what i could do instead is use the 10V pour instead
03:21:44 <arch> basically any stable node should do a good job shielding from noise
03:31:14 Quit: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) Connection closed
03:33:44 <DHess_US> any stable *low impedance* node
03:34:27 <arch> right
03:34:49 <arch> gnd, vin, vout, etc

03:50:46 <DHess_US> That assumes they are all well coupled to each other, which is often not the case with power circuits.

08:25:26 <Halcyon> Love it
08:25:46 <Halcyon> Nice
08:25:57 <Halcyon> I love it how Sony really haven't changed their design over the years.
08:26:09 <Halcyon> And they have kept the same batteries
08:26:27 <Halcyon> Even my professional camera back in the day used that same battery
08:26:52 <steve30> hehe

08:35:41 <Ampera> just some birds in the yard
08:37:29 <DHess_US> <Halcyon> I love it how Sony really haven't changed their design over the years.
08:37:43 <DHess_US> Not true. Every new Sony camera has a new Sony battery.
08:38:39 <Halcyon> Wha?
08:39:31 <Halcyon> As far as I knew, they used a fairly small range of battery types
08:40:40 <Ampera> Halcyon, he's right, my new camera came with a brand new battery
08:40:51 <Halcyon> Oh that's annoying then
08:41:09 <DHess_US> I'm glad I finally got rid of my last Sony camera with propriety battery and memory stick.
08:41:30 <Halcyon> Oh gawd, did anyone ever use memory stick?
08:41:38 <DHess_US> I have a Canon now which uses 2 x AA and SD cards.
08:41:51 <DHess_US> Um, yes, Sony. They invented it.
08:41:56 <Halcyon> I do like the idea of the V-Mount batteries
08:42:10 <Halcyon> A mate has some Panasonic cameras which had the adapter plate
08:42:35 <Ampera> My Sony camera allows the use of SDXC cards, which is nice
08:42:37 <Halcyon> DHess_US, yes but consumers, did they ever use it?
08:42:47 <Ampera> I would prefer a lithium battery over AA's though
08:42:55 <DHess_US> Huh? They didn't have a choice not to use it if they bought from Sony.
08:42:56 <Ampera> even very expensive NiMH AA's are terrible
08:43:10 <Halcyon> DHess_US, many cameras supported multiple types of cards
08:43:16 <DHess_US> Been using low discharge NiMH for 10+ years now.
08:43:34 <Halcyon> In fact, my last Sony camera only accepted SD or a proprietary flash media "cartridge"
08:43:45 <DHess_US> I'm on my second set for my GPS, camera, calculator, and flashlight.
08:43:47 <Halcyon> (Talking video cameras, not still cameras)
08:44:02 <Ampera> What would be nice is if the cameras used standard size liion cells, the sort one might find in a vape machine
08:44:16 <Ampera> but if they did that then they couldn't charge you 80 bucks for a battery
08:44:17 <Halcyon> 18650 ?
08:44:18 <DHess_US> Where are the profits in that?
08:44:26 <DHess_US> Or CR123
08:44:35 <Ampera> there's a variety of acceptable sizes
08:44:37 <Halcyon> Heh
08:44:48 <steve30> http://stevecoates.net/photos/camcorder_battery.JPG
08:45:08 <Halcyon> Heh
08:45:08 <Ampera> oh that's cool
08:45:22 <DHess_US> The problem is that there are incompatible lithium chemistries in the same cell size, which is a hazard.
08:45:43 <DHess_US> Do a search for lithium cell flashlights exploding.
08:45:44 <Ampera> ah, like LiFePO4 cells?
08:46:13 <DHess_US> manganese dioxide primary cells, and then all of the lithium secondary chemistries.
08:47:37 <DHess_US> And if you are rich, you can even find thionyl chloride in most of them.
08:47:52 <Halcyon> Just strap on a lantern battery, she'll be right. https://www.jaycar.com.au/6v-lantern-battery/p/SB2394
08:48:36 <DHess_US> Can get lithium versions of those also.

11:51:46 <EEVBlog> Hello there, MrMobodies!
11:52:28 <MrMobodies> talking of batteries I once had a collection of Energizers and they only held their charge for a couple of weeks
11:52:39 <MrMobodies> I think they were 2300mah or so
11:54:01 <MrMobodies> they lasted six years and I replaced them with Ansmann which was a lot better and held their charge for over month and a couple of years ago I brought the Eneloops and I don't have to check them anymore they just hold their charge.

16:47:11 <Halcyon> Hey Steve
16:55:22 <steve30> nice footage Ampera. I won't watch in 4k though as my monitor is 1920x1200.
17:01:15 * T3sl4 hugs Halcyon
17:08:03 <steve30> A video featuring a steve30 has appeared on Youtube. I'll watch it after I've finished watching an electronics video.
17:10:56 <steve30> Unrelated, anyone got any recomendations for HDDs these day?
17:11:06 <steve30> I've used Seagate for the last 10 years or so.
18:52:35 <Ampera> My server is full of HGST/Hitachi UltraStar's
18:52:59 <Ampera> There's a company in the US called goHardDrive that sells refurb ones for quite cheap
18:53:20 <Ampera> I think the oldest one I have is 8 years new to me or so and is still going strong
18:54:10 <Halcyon> YEY, Hugs
18:54:18 <Ampera> How are you doing Halcyon
18:54:28 <steve30> The Seagate I bought in 2010 started to die after 2 years, but the ones i replaced it with are still going strong 8 years later
18:54:33 <Ampera> also, steve30, I don't have a 4K display either
18:54:43 <Ampera> my main monitor is 3840x1080 iirc
18:54:48 <Halcyon> Meh OK
18:55:30 <Halcyon> Can I run something past you... I consider you all reasonable people...
18:55:41 <steve30> Here's this weekend's video... in glorious HDV
18:55:42 <steve30> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0eRDTDmG70
18:56:01 <Halcyon> Last night, we went out for dinner with Marks friends for a birthday. I paid for dinner for her and her partner as a happy birthday. Mark literally told me off for it./
18:56:08 <Halcyon> Because she said "no"
18:56:15 <Halcyon> Like people say no just to be polite
18:56:39 <Halcyon> Am I mad? Surely what I did wasn't unreasonable?
18:56:45 <steve30> So did you actually pay, or just offer to and be refused?
18:57:01 <Halcyon> No, I paid the cheque at the end of the night and said, don't worry about it, taken care of
18:57:25 <Halcyon> Instead now, I'm hearing about it from Mark because I should have "listened"
18:58:02 <steve30> Sounds fine to pay as a birthday gift. Though having said that, I don't usually object to free dinner :D
18:58:15 <hsn> hello all .. love u all .. enjoy ur day all .. see you ..
18:58:19 <hsn> all
18:58:28 <Halcyon> No, but you'd say "No, you don't have to do that" but accept it eventually right? That's what regular people do?
18:58:32 <Halcyon> Hey hsn
18:58:55 <Ampera> It takes a right egotist to get upset at someone giving people free shit
18:58:56 <Halcyon> Like, am I so out of touch, do people not do that anymore without expecting anything in return?
18:59:20 <Halcyon> Because right now, I'm being made to feel guilty for "not listening to him" and he has the shits
18:59:45 <Halcyon> And now I have the shits because it's such a fucking redicilous thing to argue about.
19:00:00 <Ampera> buy him a box of tampons and give him the bill
19:00:26 <Halcyon> Honestly Ampera, I'm at the stage of buying him a removalist truck, I've had enough
19:00:34 <Halcyon> This is just one of MANY such arguments
19:01:09 * steve30 suggests just having make-up sex
19:01:23 <Ampera> Personally I'm starting to believe intimate relationships are near universally destined to absolute failure
19:01:23 <Halcyon> Then tonight, I suggested we just sit down, have dinner at the dinner table, spend some time together, chat. I get the 20 questions as to why and "what am I up to".
19:01:29 <Halcyon> Like for fuck's sake
19:01:58 <Halcyon> steve30, no, he doesn't deserve my sex... he can get fucked... not literally
19:02:43 * Ampera suggests a nice crucifixion, they're quite effective and persuasive
19:02:56 <Ampera> if it worked for Jesus it'll work for anyone
19:03:14 <Halcyon> Heh
19:07:20 <Halcyon> Anyway
19:07:25 <Halcyon> Tell me stuff Ampera
19:07:33 <Ampera> penis poo piss fuck shit
19:07:38 <Halcyon> Kinky
19:07:50 * Ampera kinks Halcyon into a few different angles an contortions
19:07:53 <Ampera> *and
19:08:06 <Halcyon> I could do with a stretch actually
19:08:17 * Ampera suggests Halcyon gets a rack
19:08:23 <Halcyon> A rack?
19:08:30 <steve30> Halcyon, would you like to watch a JVC 720p HDV video of me moaning about anti-vaxxers instead?
19:08:41 <Ampera> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_(torture)
19:08:50 <Halcyon> Yes please Steve
19:09:00 <Halcyon> At least I can get some of the crazy out of my head
19:09:17 <Halcyon> That looks like a really nice wine cellar Ampera
19:09:23 <Halcyon> I would love to have a room like that
19:09:23 <steve30> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBgiT8TNIf4
19:09:40 <Ampera> it's more of a whine cellar
19:09:49 <Halcyon> I need subtitles Steve :P
19:10:01 <Halcyon> Your accent is so thick. Hahaha
19:10:18 <Ampera> I can understand him perfectly fine
19:10:28 <Halcyon> So can I, was just being a shit :P
19:10:58 <Ampera> yes and I was playing straight man since everyone here is too gay to
19:10:59 <steve30> I'm in the first 15 minutes. The rest of the video he dedicated to an old speech by Borris Johnson.
19:11:23 <Halcyon> Oh gawd this guy... here we go with the carbon dioxide argument
19:11:30 <Halcyon> That has been proven to be complete bullshit
19:11:42 <Ampera> he's just trying to break the dry ice.
19:11:57 <steve30> which guy?
19:12:02 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
19:12:04 <Halcyon> The guy behind the camera
19:12:19 <Halcyon> He seems to think if you wear a mask "all you end up breathing is carbon dioxide"
19:12:23 <Ampera> I don't enjoy videos of people being idiots, they're painful to watch as I have to deal with enough stupidity in my life
19:12:24 <steve30> Oh, the comment on CO2 and masks. I could have debunked that on video, but had other things to say.
19:12:26 <Halcyon> Well that is complete and utter rubbish
19:12:55 <Halcyon> I like how you dismissed his stupidity Steve and focussed on speech. Well done
19:12:58 <Ampera> How so? My head condom most certainly traps all of my CO2
19:14:51 <Halcyon> I wont watch it all now Steve, I'll save it for my drive in to work tomorrow
19:14:58 <Halcyon> But you are very articulate
19:15:01 <Halcyon> I like it
19:15:09 <steve30> It came out quite well in the end
19:15:42 <Halcyon> I just read that in your accent ;P
19:15:52 <Halcyon> I can't stop
19:17:10 <Ampera> Maybe you should replace Mark with steve30. All you'd need to import him is for steve30 to commit a crime.
19:17:34 <Ampera> the only question is which one is the prison bitch
19:18:05 <steve30> It would have to be a crime against Australia
19:19:11 <Halcyon> :P
19:19:32 <Halcyon> Well, steve30 would complain about it being too cold and rainy to being too hot
19:19:36 <Halcyon> I don't think I can win this :P
19:25:55 <steve30> I found this sticker on a bus stop the other day
19:25:55 <steve30> https://www.flickr.com/photos/36651585@N04/50968891992/in/dateposted-public/
19:26:20 <Halcyon> Aw that's cute
19:44:02 <steve30> I need food
19:44:16 <Ampera> we all need food
19:44:19 <Halcyon> I made this as a lazy dinner: https://www.taste.com.au/recipes/mums-creamed-corn-rice-slice-recipe/e4pouq5a?r=quickeasy/mfQ7EL9o
19:44:33 <Halcyon> It was actually quite tasty. Although I used 100g of bacon
19:52:31 <K> hello clumps
19:55:04 <Halcyon> Hey K
19:55:08 <Halcyon> How are you?
19:55:25 <K> is fine.
19:55:32 <Halcyon> Nice
19:55:39 <K> the snow is going away
19:55:48 * steve30 warms some soup up
19:55:58 <Halcyon> What kind of soup?
19:56:11 <K> and it is + for two days now, sun is shinig, the dread has lessened somewhat
19:56:24 * T3sl4 hugs Halcyon's quiche
19:56:33 <steve30> vegetable
19:56:47 <Halcyon> T3sl4, super simple but super tasty, didn't even need to add salt or pepper
19:56:56 <Halcyon> Altough some dried chilli flakes would have been amazing
19:57:03 <T3sl4> aye
19:57:42 <steve30> mmm, chilli
19:57:58 <T3sl4> or idunno broccoli maybe, tho with corn in there it's got enough flavor on its own
19:58:40 <T3sl4> some red capsicum would be nice
19:59:07 <T3sl4> red bell peppers were cheap last time so i've been nomming those the last week or so ^-^
19:59:17 <Halcyon> Creamed corn has a ton of flavour
19:59:58 <T3sl4> i honestly don't mind cracking open a can of sweetcorn and sipping the broth out of there
19:59:58 <Halcyon> But it was surprisingly less corny (heh) that I expected, it was very balanced.
20:00:07 <Halcyon> Although 50g of ham wasn't enough, fuck that. Double it.
20:00:22 <Ampera> 50g of ham is like a single slice
20:00:31 <Halcyon> Yeh it's stupi
20:00:32 <Halcyon> d
20:00:52 <Halcyon> I reckon finely diced mushroom would go well too
20:00:59 <Halcyon> Just sweat it off with the sping onions
20:01:10 <Halcyon> *spring
20:02:07 * T3sl4 waggles an onion at Ampera
20:02:36 * Ampera caramelizes it, fries them into eggs, serves inside a bagel with ham
20:02:43 * Halcyon covers T3sl4 in a leek
20:03:27 * T3sl4 moistens Halcyon
20:03:52 <Halcyon> Oh, I found a skink living in the drain outside my garage
20:03:58 * T3sl4 cheeses a little on the bagel
20:03:58 <Halcyon> It's super cute
20:04:06 <T3sl4> that's a nice breakfast there
20:04:31 <K> cease food talk immediately.
20:04:36 <T3sl4> skinks are cute
20:04:43 <T3sl4> out of potatoes, K?
20:04:45 <Halcyon> One of these: https://australian.museum/learn/animals/reptiles/eastern-water-skink/
20:04:49 <Ampera> I am
20:04:56 <Ampera> I made lots of home fries from the ones, though
20:05:01 <Ampera> *ones I had
20:05:05 <Ampera> red potatoes best potatoes
20:05:17 <T3sl4> on the g-money, home slice [of potato]
20:05:23 <Halcyon> When its head sticks out of the drain, it kind of looks like a small danger noodle, until you see the legs
20:06:23 <K> is it edible?
20:06:34 <T3sl4> everything is, once
20:06:54 <T3sl4> don't have them around here AFAIK, but i did see some little lizard or skink on a trip through kentucky
20:06:56 <Halcyon> I probably wouldn't eat it, they are lovely
20:07:03 <Halcyon> They eat spiders and bugs
20:07:24 <Halcyon> We do get the occasional blue tounge lizard here too
20:07:29 <Halcyon> But they are a big sook
20:07:57 <Halcyon> https://australian.museum/learn/animals/reptiles/eastern-blue-tongue-lizard/
20:08:10 <Ampera> have been listening to this group recently https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_medyB7t9GkAFV9d2U-B6bm2x0qZOY1ye8
20:08:12 <Ampera> they're very good
20:08:38 <Halcyon> FFS
20:08:40 <Halcyon> Unavailable
20:08:48 <Halcyon> I'll pirate it instead :P
20:08:49 <Ampera> easy solution
20:08:59 <Ampera> simple become american
20:09:00 <Halcyon> I have Spotify
20:09:04 <Halcyon> NEVER!
20:09:13 <Ampera> then suffer with your foreign inferiority
20:09:25 <Halcyon> I can legally download whatever I want :P
20:09:34 <Halcyon> Without fear of being charged or sued
20:09:36 <Halcyon> \o/
20:09:36 <Ampera> I can illegally download whatever I want
20:10:01 <Ampera> that being said, this music is freely available to anyone with the link
20:11:01 <Halcyon> As long as you conform to your laws and rules
20:11:09 <Halcyon> Otherwise you're plumb out of luck
20:11:17 <Ampera> how's that seed box going
20:11:36 <Halcyon> Done, I have your album now :P
20:11:39 <Ampera> lol
20:13:08 <Halcyon> Mmmm, I don't mind the first track so far...
20:14:00 <Halcyon> A little bit hipster at 0400 in the morning walking home from a drunk night out waddling down the street.
20:14:06 <Halcyon> But other than that, not bad
20:14:15 <Ampera> what
20:14:29 <Halcyon> It's the first visual the popped into my head *shrug*
20:14:37 <Ampera> congratulations Halcyon, you managed to speak perfect english with absolutely no meaning whatsoever
20:14:52 <Ampera> you're the literary equivalent of a silent track
20:14:55 <Halcyon> Well if you drank and your drinking age was 18, you'd know :P
20:15:08 <T3sl4> hrm, i've only done that once, anyway
20:15:16 <Halcyon> Drank?
20:15:18 <Halcyon> :P
20:15:20 <Ampera> If I was fucked to the point where I'm drunk waddling home by all means end me
20:15:39 <Halcyon> I have had several early morning walks of shame when the sun is just coming up
20:15:45 <T3sl4> which was interesting, hanging out with a friend after closing time (2am) we sat outside sipping a few beers and talking about shit
20:15:50 <Halcyon> Character building, sure, but not nice :P
20:16:01 <Ampera> That would explain your line of work I support >:D
20:16:08 <Halcyon> I have also had sex on a beach (never again)
20:16:15 <T3sl4> it was nearly dawn by the time we went home, which was kinda neat walking home through the park at that hour
20:16:33 <T3sl4> Halcyon: i hate sand, it's coarse and it gets everywhere
20:16:42 <Halcyon> T3sl4, I like the THOUGHT of early morning and dawn... I just hate the feeling
20:16:50 <Halcyon> Yep, EVERYWHERE
20:16:50 <Halcyon> :P
20:17:02 * Ampera looks out his window
20:17:03 <Ampera> yep
20:17:04 <Ampera> early morning
20:17:16 <Ampera> it's as dark as a child's future in the american education system
20:17:18 <Halcyon> I wish I were a morning person
20:17:29 <T3sl4> just stay up late enough that the sun rises
20:17:31 <T3sl4> that's what i do ;)
20:17:40 <Ampera> that's an awesome feeling
20:17:41 <Halcyon> Yes but I need to function the following day :P
20:17:44 <Halcyon> That's the tricky bit
20:17:48 <Ampera> having watched the sun set, and then rise again
20:17:53 <T3sl4> get a more flexible job :P
20:17:57 <Ampera> simply don't function
20:18:05 <Halcyon> I don't have that option
20:18:13 <Ampera> most of the people at my work malfunction quite a bit
20:18:16 <steve30> what is sex on a beach like?
20:18:20 <Halcyon> When people come up to me asking what they should do next, I kind of need to have somewhat of an answer
20:18:23 <Ampera> to the point where they hired me to find and berate their malfunctions
20:18:23 <Halcyon> Even if it's made up
20:18:31 <Ampera> steve30, wet if it's being done right
20:18:37 <Halcyon> steve30: Fun at first, then just gritty
20:19:01 <steve30> I had sex on a field once
20:19:08 <Halcyon> I also had sex in a park on New Year's Eve
20:19:08 <steve30> we don't have beaches round here
20:19:11 <Halcyon> That wasn't so bad
20:19:15 <K> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsMVPx_PjC8
20:19:18 <Ampera> we had a small beach here
20:19:23 <Ampera> I think it's been closed since Irene
20:19:33 <Halcyon> Oh come on Irene!
20:19:40 <Ampera> Irene was in 2011
20:19:56 <Ampera> it was probably closed because of Irene, but kept closed because fun is illegal in New York
20:19:57 <Halcyon> It was a pun
20:19:57 <K> (turn up the volume)
20:19:58 <T3sl4> just cum on irene
20:20:08 <Ampera> brb changing my name to irene
20:20:21 <Halcyon> K: That would be OK if there were other lyrics :P
20:20:25 <T3sl4> declaring war on the sea didn't work, but maybe declaring love on it will
20:20:31 <K> there are some other words
20:20:47 <K> like 4 different, at least
20:20:50 <Halcyon> Also, did they print that LP label using Comic Sans?
20:20:54 <steve30> Halcyon, I got a video of a cute guy this weekend. I reckon you'd like him.
20:20:55 <T3sl4> Halcyon probably enjoys poseidon's kiss anyway ;)
20:20:57 <K> no
20:21:15 <K> ah, maybe some of it
20:21:17 <Halcyon> steve30, let me see :P
20:21:25 <Halcyon> T3sl4 will also judge :P
20:21:42 <steve30> It will go up at some point in the forseeable future
20:21:55 <Halcyon> You are such a fucking tease you know that :P
20:22:36 <steve30> It was funny. He's this random dude who said hello to me and said he recognised me from YouTube :D
20:23:09 <Ampera> T3sl4, I disagree, war on the sea has been considerably won in our advantage considering the quantity of plastic in it
20:23:13 <Halcyon> Did you get his number? :P
20:23:15 <Ampera> though, perhaps not in our favor
20:23:28 <T3sl4> Ampera, you realize how big the sea is, right? and also that it is rising?
20:23:36 <Ampera> it's not rising
20:23:53 <K> a fucking tease.
20:23:53 <Ampera> you're just buying into china conspiracy theory made so biden looks cool
20:23:55 <Halcyon> The sea can rise all it likes, it has another 800 metres to go before it gets to me :P
20:24:35 <Ampera> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR58heUGkNA
20:25:20 <T3sl4> K: and vice versa
20:25:21 <Halcyon> K... A tease is
20:25:21 <Halcyon> (A) someone who either offers to engage in affectionate behavior with you, such as making out, and then denies you the privilege of doing so, or
20:25:28 <Halcyon> (B) someone who only gives you a small fraction of what you actually want from them,
20:25:55 <Halcyon> The word "fucking" just adds emphasis
20:26:00 * T3sl4 kisses Halcyon furtively
20:26:13 <Halcyon> Australian's tend to swear a lot and it's not seen as a bad thing (usually)
20:26:31 <T3sl4> cuntish ^
20:26:35 <Halcyon> I would avoid it if you're speaking in front of a court or magistrate however (unless relevant to the matter)
20:26:53 <Halcyon> Yeh, the word "cunt" is thrown around quite casually
20:27:13 <Halcyon> Like a "sick cunt" means a "cool dude" "great bloke".
20:27:28 <Halcyon> Or "Sup cunt?" if you're addressing a friend
20:27:38 <K> soup cunt
20:27:46 <Ampera> just proof that australia invented, patented, marketed, and is the greatest domestic producer and exporter of high class misogyny.
20:28:06 <Halcyon> It can apply to any gender Ampera
20:28:10 <Halcyon> So calm the fuck down :P
20:28:13 <Ampera> only one has a cunt
20:28:32 <T3sl4> Ampera has a cunt
20:28:37 <T3sl4> whatever gender you are
20:28:38 <Ampera> I wish I did
20:28:39 <Halcyon> It has nothing to do with the female bits
20:29:01 <Ampera> that's what they all say
20:29:06 <Ampera> whoever they are
20:29:13 <T3sl4> that's what only australia says
20:29:25 <Ampera> fuck australia
20:29:27 <Ampera> they're a load of cunts
20:29:31 <Halcyon> :P
20:29:34 <T3sl4> aye, that's the point
20:29:34 <Halcyon> Pretty much
20:31:02 <Halcyon> I affectionately refer to my best mate (who I happen to supervise at work) as DH in written correspondence :P
20:31:49 <Ampera> I should work on writing a script for my new youtube video
20:32:15 <Ampera> I actually had a neat idea for another one, similar to stuff TheiBookGuy has done in the past
20:32:18 <Halcyon> Pentium Pro ?
20:32:28 <Ampera> an evaluation of if a Power Mac G5 is usable in the modern day
20:32:35 <Ampera> PPro build is the first up
20:32:41 <Halcyon> \o/
20:33:17 * steve30 renames Ampera to ThePentiumGuy
20:33:22 <Ampera> lol
20:33:43 <Halcyon> I love how you love technology from before you were born
20:33:48 <Halcyon> You should market that
20:34:20 <T3sl4> retro is so hot right now
20:34:37 <Halcyon> Ampera: Add to your list a Voodoo/Voodoo2 video
20:34:43 <Halcyon> People go nuts for that shit
20:34:57 <Ampera> The PPro will already have a Voodoo
20:35:00 <Halcyon> They still command AUD$200-300 just for a basic card
20:35:05 <T3sl4> dont forget to test how many bungholiomarks it has
20:35:35 <Ampera> I think I'm going to prefer practical benchmarks for the PPro video, with a focus on Win9x vs NT performance
20:35:42 <Halcyon> YAY
20:36:25 <Ampera> A follow up is also on my mind to compare it with an MMX 233
20:37:54 <Halcyon> I'm trying to think what I ran back in those days?
20:38:00 <Halcyon> Windows 98se and Quake III ?
20:38:16 <Ampera> way too new
20:38:24 <Ampera> this will be done with a 1996 timeframe in mind
20:38:25 <Halcyon> For an MMX 233 ?
20:38:41 <Halcyon> Mmm yeh true
20:38:51 <Ampera> for the PPro
20:38:54 <Halcyon> Quake II then
20:38:56 <Ampera> MMX 233 is a newer chip
20:38:57 <Ampera> what
20:39:02 <Ampera> no Quake 1
20:39:06 <T3sl4> do a video on the "what the fuck" comment, that's hot too
20:39:08 <Halcyon> Fucking Wolf3D then DH
20:39:39 <T3sl4> pfft, i can just about run wolf3d on an arduino
20:39:47 <Halcyon> Speaking of which, I still want to play SC2000 Network Edition with someone
21:08:25 <steve30> Now I've had soup for starters I think I'll do some roast chicken.
21:10:00 * T3sl4 sips a bean soup, a dark brown complexion
21:10:11 <T3sl4> or, i guess that would be more of a broth
21:10:58 <Ampera> https://prnt.sc/103lvzl
21:11:01 <Ampera> My grandfather's new computer
21:15:39 <K> 500Gb will be enough?
21:15:49 <K> GB
21:15:51 <Ampera> honestly I thought I ordered the 250GB model
21:16:08 <Ampera> maybe the price made more sense to just buy the 500GB
21:16:12 <Ampera> I think that was the case
21:16:26 <Ampera> but honestly 64GB would be fine, he browses the web and that's about it
21:16:29 <K> but where are the rgb leds?
21:16:58 <Ampera> K, if you keep up your heretical ways, where your sun don't shine.
21:17:42 <K> i am what?
21:18:05 <Ampera> A heretic
21:18:07 <K> are we doing broken english sentences today?
21:19:01 <Ampera> since you need help, here's the expanded version of that sentence. K, if you keep up your heretical ways (the RGB LEDs will be) where your sun don't shine
21:19:23 <K> ah.
21:19:38 <K> thank you.
21:20:44 <K> differences in processing for spoken vs. written
21:21:34 <Ampera> You're doing better than I would be if we were having this conversation in Latvian
21:25:45 <K> maybe, but on the other hand - having words with declinations/inflections and (more) free word order in sentence gives more context
21:30:16 * T3sl4 munches hashbrowns and two eggs over easy
21:34:04 * T3sl4 gives K a hashbrown
21:36:24 <K> (googles)
21:36:43 <K> ah, a potato-pancake or sorts
21:38:39 <T3sl4> pretty basic, just potato, shredded, fried
21:38:43 <K> those go nice with some sour cream, sprinkled with some finely ground black peppers
21:38:43 <T3sl4> salt and pepper
21:38:56 <T3sl4> i had them with sweet thai chili sauce
21:39:04 <K> that could work too yae
21:40:04 <K> this is more of a lazy dish, just peel potatoos, grate them, add an egg, if you feel so inclined and bake on pan
21:40:19 <K> fry, not bake?
21:40:59 <T3sl4> i feel pancakes involve flour, which is slightly less lazy
21:41:17 <T3sl4> yeah, baking would be fine too, i just do most things on a cast iron frying pan
