01:55:41 <electrohead> o/
01:56:20 <rust_collector> HELLO!
01:56:30 * Ampera falls asleep ontop of electrohead and rust_collector
01:58:57 <rust_collector> ok
02:00:47 <electrohead> No/
02:00:49 <electrohead> err
02:00:51 <electrohead> No.
02:00:53 <electrohead> there we go
02:04:43 <rust_collector> aah, the kids have bought a charger and battery for my travel angle grinder (that i got for christmas) that will be interesting to try
02:05:19 <Ampera> good luck grinding people's gears with it
02:07:36 <rust_collector> it is a small battery... but... eh, at least they tried, lol
02:08:49 <K> travel angle grinder
02:14:11 <electrohead> I need a metric tape measure
02:14:45 <K> what are you going to meter?
02:14:51 <rust_collector> eeh, whyyyy?
02:15:48 <rust_collector> most of the tape measures here have both. I guess that is an idea
02:20:46 <electrohead> yeah not so much here in "murica"
02:21:05 <electrohead> and, building a QFH antenna, and it's just easier all the way around, to use metric for everything
02:21:30 <electrohead> the imperial system is fucking weird, and working with the fractions of an inch gets cumbersome
02:21:56 <rust_collector> eh? you are not canadian?
02:22:13 <rust_collector> or pre 1989 australian
02:22:25 <electrohead> eh?
02:22:26 <electrohead> lol
02:22:50 <rust_collector> ask ampera why you use the "imperial" system
02:23:07 <rust_collector> he will be happy to explain that one more time
02:23:14 <electrohead> NO
02:23:21 <electrohead> :p
02:23:30 <Ampera> get out of here you red coat fucker
02:23:49 <Ampera> you've been exposed as the spy for the british empire that you are
02:24:02 <Ampera> we only use customary units in this house
02:24:42 <rust_collector> yeah, now I have the ampera started. I can go mow the lawn while he is ranting about that
02:24:49 <Ampera> I'm done for now
02:25:04 <electrohead> fuck the imperial system
02:25:05 <rust_collector> that is fine, I don't have any lawn either
02:25:14 <electrohead> it can blow me
02:25:14 <Ampera> electrohead, no objections there
02:25:20 * electrohead walks away now
02:25:34 <Ampera> Imperial system was designed and used by fuckers
02:27:48 <electrohead> Ampera: what's the temperature outside for you?
02:27:51 <electrohead> 11.7C here
02:27:53 <electrohead> and climbing
02:27:55 <electrohead> :D
02:28:28 <rust_collector> it is 281.14 here
02:42:12 <Ampera> electrohead, 45 here
02:42:14 <Ampera> getting hot

02:53:38 * rust_collector is making stroganoff with german beef, and mustard and pickle juice
03:11:32 <rust_collector> i am not sure why the beef is german, the packaging says there is a shortage of cows up here
03:20:54 <Ampera> that's because you forbid pretty much the entire universe from importing meat into the EU
03:21:11 <Ampera> though I don't know if Norway is except being of a super special status
03:21:16 <Ampera> *exempt
03:21:20 <rust_collector> I do not think norway has said anything about importing things to the eu?
03:22:47 <rust_collector> iIrc, a lot of it was from argentina, I am not sure what it is like now.
03:23:04 <rust_collector> anyway, german cows are also pretty tasty
03:23:30 <rust_collector> and I do quite like the pickle juice in there
03:40:22 <Ampera> rust_collector, no I mean the EU bans meat imports from a lot of places
03:40:29 <Ampera> such as the US
03:40:41 <rust_collector> right
03:42:42 <rust_collector> I actually did not think we could import from germany either, we are pretty strict about the use of antibiotics and stuff here. at least a few years ago, germany was not so much

11:40:25 <EEVBlog> New EEVBlog Tweet: What's the deal with the sudden influx of new obscure video editor companies wanting me to review their software?
11:46:33 <rust_collector> electrohead, why did you make a tiny tank barrier?
11:47:55 <electrohead> lol
11:48:38 <electrohead> I'll probably get to the wiring thursday, as I have work tomorrow
11:49:07 <rust_collector> are you into paintball, and your buddy has a mower based tank you need to stop?
11:49:23 <electrohead> it's going to be a QFH antenna
11:49:35 <rust_collector> aw. well whatever
11:50:41 <rust_collector> have fun with that
11:52:01 <rust_collector> quite frequent h..... antenna
11:52:51 <electrohead> quadrifilar helix antenna
11:53:17 <rust_collector> mmhmmm
11:54:17 <rust_collector> do you have one of those modern-ish radios?
12:05:08 Quit: Ysjoelfir ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
12:07:31 <electrohead> I have mostly SDR based radios
12:08:10 <electrohead> then, my scanner hooked up currently to the discone antenna I recently got, a CB radio, shortwave radio, a cheap-o UHF/VHF radio
12:08:11 <electrohead> umm
12:08:40 <electrohead> yeah, that's it for now
12:09:00 <electrohead> well, I didn't list off all the SDR dongles and receiver/transmitters
12:10:20 <rust_collector> good
12:10:48 <electrohead> ?
12:10:57 <rust_collector> well, I guess the sdr stuff makes a lot of sense now
12:11:19 <rust_collector> I don't need a list of all the dongles
12:11:28 <electrohead> lol
12:11:52 <electrohead> well, I have roughly 6 or 7 of the USB dongles, then the Ettus B200, and the hackRF portapack H2
12:12:50 <rust_collector> hmm, do I remember right, that the sdr thingies are based on the old tv reciever things?

13:16:48 <arch> ooh, also check out Beehive, also on github. does something similar. open source task agents
13:17:28 <arch> i bet it's possible to wire that into IRC so that every time T3sl4 says something, it sends me an email
13:18:15 <T3sl4> i can also just tag you every time i say something arch

13:18:45 <arch> naw, that doesn't feel like me stalking you
13:18:54 <arch> :3
13:19:11 <T3sl4> i'd headpat you, but that assumes i can see you lurking in the bushes
13:19:19 <T3sl4> and you'd be a pretty poor lurker if i could do that

16:06:00 <MrMobodies> Three months ago in Britain
16:06:07 <MrMobodies> I just hope it will all be over
16:06:34 <MrMobodies> they say there is no place like home but never thought I'd be trapped here

16:31:47 <MrMobodies> I spent so long sitting down the chair castors are falling apart and I noticed the centre piece is falling in the hole reducing the height
16:35:13 * steve30 coffees
16:37:39 <MrMobodies> the good news it if the rates continue to drop like this: https://coronavirus.data.gov.uk/details/deaths
16:38:10 <MrMobodies> they might end it sooner
16:39:10 <steve30> MrMobodies, here is a video I uploaded yesterday. In it, we determine that the lockdown ending corresponds to Boris' birthday :p
16:39:10 <steve30> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi5sibc58ZA
16:43:29 <MrMobodies> Boris birthday..
16:43:40 <MrMobodies> I see you are from Chesterfield?
16:43:54 <MrMobodies> ooh sorry Sheffield
16:45:22 <MrMobodies> I had one these 20 years ago
16:45:23 <MrMobodies> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evVfLZoZZ7w
16:45:36 <MrMobodies> It had a special jack with a remote control on the wire
16:46:03 <MrMobodies> the belt wore down, and it stopped working one day where it didn't turn on
16:46:34 <steve30> I'm actually from rotherham
16:46:52 <steve30> I think I have the remote controller for those, or it might be a similar one
16:48:53 <MrMobodies> I remember walking out of Argus in Romford in 2000 with that
16:48:57 <MrMobodies> all happy with it
16:49:05 <MrMobodies> I think might have had one battery
16:49:13 <MrMobodies> in the front
16:49:38 <steve30> The one in that video uses AAs, but I do have a similar model which takes a 'gumstick' battery
16:49:39 <MrMobodies> but many years later it turned out to be a mistake when it didn't play right
16:51:11 <MrMobodies> gumstick battery... I found an old Panasonic CD player from 1993 and it had these Nicad battery that there square and thin
16:51:24 <MrMobodies> all leaked out on the contacts which was a shame really
16:51:38 <MrMobodies> it was in someone's warehouse that they were clearing out
17:34:32 <T3sl4> mmm, toasty sesame seeds (among other things)

17:50:40 <MrMobodies> Hello
17:50:58 <MrMobodies> My sister was telling me how her friend moved into a new housing estate some years ago
17:51:34 <MrMobodies> and she was having problems with her broadband so BT engineer came out and on investigation found the cabling was aluminium
17:52:19 <MrMobodies> it turns out that the building contractor ran the cables themselves with some third party
17:52:26 <MrMobodies> and bt just patched over
17:52:34 <MrMobodies> I think that's terrible
17:53:43 <MrMobodies> all their neighbours that moved in were having issues but she said to me BT refused to do anything
17:54:08 <MrMobodies> I'd imagine they'd sue the builder but I wouldn't know how that would work in court
