03:25:20 <Nothing\> whew, learning to use the built-in monitor for the c128
03:25:29 <Nothing\> still, it seems easier to use than wozmon
03:26:04 <Nothing\> much as i like the rare opportunity to use software made by woz
03:26:39 <Nothing\> i like the guy as a personality, but i've never actually used anything he made, that i know of
03:26:55 <Nothing\> that's what EE needs
03:27:01 <Nothing\> we need a face
03:27:03 <Nothing\> a brand
03:27:08 <Nothing\> maybe not a brand
03:27:38 <Nothing\> but someone to get out there and make EE understandable and accessible to the masses by teaching them about it
03:27:59 <Nothing\> i mean really, when was the last time you even saw a documentary about electronics
03:28:17 <Nothing\> just electronics, not anything special about them like transistors or early computers or anything like that
03:28:57 <Nothing\> i'm just thinking EE needs what physics has in representers like michio kaku and stephen hawking
03:29:03 <Nothing\> jeez i almost put stephen harper lol
03:29:42 <Nothing\> but the difference will be, our mascot will actually be smart and not just act like a shit disturber for the sake of being edgy a la tyson
03:30:10 <Nothing\> "this movie is bad because you can hear things in space"
03:30:34 <Nothing\> SHUT THE CUNT UP NO ONE ASKED YOU NEIL DEGRASSE NO-LIGHTSON
03:31:52 <Nothing\> WELP, looks like another lonely day of wall texting ahead of me
03:31:59 <Nothing\> strap yourselves in, boys
03:32:22 <rust_collector> have fun
03:32:29 <Nothing\> you're in for the most exciting time of your life since the hall of presidents
03:32:39 <Nothing\> hey rust_collector
03:32:42 <Nothing\> how ya doing?
03:32:48 <rust_collector> put your strapon on
03:33:07 <Nothing\> get strapped with a strap-on
03:33:38 <rust_collector> eh. not horrible. not great. I want to put some new lamps out in the garage. But I also want to not do that
03:34:02 <Nothing\> well, the sooner you do it. the sooner you can enjoy not having to do it anymore.
03:34:14 <Nothing\> at least that's what i find. much as it sucks to do it sooner.
03:34:22 <Nothing\> but again, it's just getting started that's hard
03:34:23 <rust_collector> I know. butt....
03:35:13 <Nothing\> man, there's a couple of games by the makers of goat simulator i want but neither are on TPB
03:35:49 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
03:35:50 <Ampera> how are you doing
03:35:53 <rust_collector> goat stimulator.... ok. I am not into games, but....
03:36:39 <Nothing\> i'm doing alright, but i'll brb i need to complain to fedex
03:36:50 <Nothing\> they keep delivering me packages clearly marked for my neighbour
03:36:56 <Nothing\> cuz it's some new dink doing it
03:43:55 <Nothing\> damn these non-english native phone people
03:44:04 <Nothing\> damn near impossible to talk to them about the simplest things
03:44:21 <Nothing\> outsource my dick up bill gates' ass
03:44:22 <Ampera> It's alright Nothing\, we know you're a racist canadian. It's nothing unusual.
03:44:39 <Nothing\> exactly
03:44:44 <Ampera> lol
03:47:29 <Nothing\> there, got that annoyance out of the way
03:47:40 <Nothing\> is it really so hard for a driver to tell a D from an E
03:47:58 <Nothing\> unless he's legally blind, i wouldn't expect so
03:48:45 <rust_collector> so, did you check that the old driver didn't swap your d and e, before he left?
03:49:23 <Nothing\> hah

04:06:22 <steve30> o/
04:27:12 <Nothing\> oh cool
04:27:23 <Nothing\> they finally got the first guilty plea from the capitol rioters
04:27:31 <Nothing\> dude's facing a 30 year sentence
04:28:03 <Nothing\> from the sounds of the charges they laid in the beginning, it sounded like everyone was just getting slaps on the wrist
04:28:23 <Nothing\> shit like criminal mischief, or unauthorized access to a restricted area
04:28:30 <Nothing\> all misdemeanor stuff
04:32:01 <Nothing\> also a belated hello to steve30
04:32:12 <Nothing\> sorry bro, didn't see you all tucked in there
04:35:01 <Kuschelpony> good evening
04:37:25 <DHess_US> Plus refusing bail in violation of the 6th amendment, assaulting prisoners, holding prisoners in inhumane conditions, etc.
04:37:49 <DHess_US> Oh, and no change of venue.
04:38:19 <DHess_US> Never let an emergency go to waste.
04:42:53 <Kuschelpony> a question to the group, can you estimate which exact plastic these snorkelmasks use for the visor, and which glue really bonds to it? https://www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/s-anzeige/schnorchelmaske-gruen-tauchmaske-groesse-l-xl

04:44:40 <Kuschelpony> then try to copy the URL and open in a new window, im sorry
04:44:54 <Kuschelpony> cant say why this does not work for you
04:44:55 <DHess_US> Kuschelpony, almost always polycarbonate
04:45:02 <rust_collector> that works
04:45:21 <Kuschelpony> yes, polycarbonate seems to be a good choice
04:45:57 <Kuschelpony> im considering if it would work to mill out part of the visoe and glue in a pair of new windows, to have it fit inside a dragon head
04:46:08 <Nothing\> damn these comuters put mine to shame
04:46:14 <Nothing\> even though they have cheaper prices
04:46:23 <Nothing\> and i just bought mine 6 months ago
04:46:32 <Nothing\> i didn't even know nvidia had their 3 series out yet
04:46:41 <Nothing\> last i heard, the 2 series was new
04:46:49 <DHess_US> polycarbonate is pretty easy to machine.
04:47:09 <DHess_US> I think it could also be polyester (PET), but that would be just as easy to machine.
04:47:11 <Nothing\> speaking of plastics
04:47:22 <Nothing\> i was thinking about the reports from the roswell crash
04:47:28 <Kuschelpony> oh i see not really a problem to take the proxxon and mill it out
04:47:41 <Nothing\> and one part always stuck out at me which is where the guy was decribing the material of the object
04:47:48 <DHess_US> I think polyester would be used in a more flexible application like a medical mask.
04:47:53 <Kuschelpony> i am however nervous that the glued on part stays safe and does not fall off under water
04:48:15 <Nothing\> he said it was silver and metallic looking, but you could bend it easily and crumple it in your hand and it would return to the same shape it had
04:48:29 <Nothing\> in retrospect, it sounds almost like mylar
04:48:44 <Nothing\> and i'm sure mylar woulda looked spaceaged to people in 1947
04:49:15 <Nothing\> plus i believe those project mogul balloons in the area did use mylar reflectors on them
04:49:38 Quit: Meroje ([email protected]) Quit: bye!
04:49:47 <Nothing\> that right there shoulda been enough to shoot the idea down

04:50:22 <Nothing\> i'm still trying to find a good solvent for cleaning wood
04:50:34 <Nothing\> 50/50 isopropanol and water always worked
04:50:35 <DHess_US> clean what off of wood?
04:50:43 <Nothing\> tar and oil
04:50:49 <DHess_US> acetone
04:50:58 <Nothing\> but last time i tried using alcohol, it stripped the finish
04:51:03 <Nothing\> surprisingly
04:51:07 <Lord_of_nothing> hi
04:51:11 <Nothing\> =never had that happen with alcohol before
04:51:18 <DHess_US> detergent and water then.
04:51:24 <Nothing\> hey Lord_of_nothing
04:51:34 <Nothing\> DHess_US, yeah some detergent would probably help
04:51:39 <DHess_US> Almost anything which will dissolve oil and tar will dissolve wood finish.
04:51:41 <rust_collector> Nothing\ what is the finish? you are taking tar and oil off the finish, not off wood
04:51:56 <Nothing\> cuz it got on the wood
04:52:01 <Nothing\> not the finish
04:52:11 <DHess_US> dish soap and water is where to start
04:52:22 <DHess_US> Although not all wood finishes are resistant to water.
04:52:27 <Nothing\> and i have no idea what finish, some shitty false wood patter for particle board
04:55:30 <DHess_US> Besides paint, I use two different wood finishes. Spar varnish, which is water resistant, and this stuff for when I want to spray paint wood, https://www.minwax.com/wood-products/hardwood-floors/minwax-professional-formula-sanding-sealer

07:27:13 <Nothing\> finally got an inkjet print, too but i'm sketchy on the details. It won't arrive in-store for a few more days

07:36:28 <Ampera> how are you doing Halcyon?
07:36:44 <Ampera> have you been playing with your wang at all recently?
07:37:18 <T3sl4> he got a new(old) terminal? jealous
07:37:30 <Ampera> it's a PC, not a terminal
07:37:33 <Halcyon> Heheh
07:37:35 <Ampera> and he's had it hanging out there in his garage for ages
07:37:42 <Halcyon> T3sl4, it's a Wang PC-001
07:37:49 <Halcyon> But I found a terminal CRT as well
07:37:51 <Ampera> if there were laws for sexual neglect, his wang would be a prime example.

07:50:41 <Nothing\> i feel like i'm waiting for something, other than for drugs to kick in
07:51:24 <Nothing\> oh hey
07:51:46 <Nothing\> i should drill a hole into my ecig to thread a wrist strap through so i'm not always losing it

07:58:37 <Nothing\> or better yet, gamma lasers
07:58:54 <Nothing\> can you imagine the power outputs
07:59:47 <coppice> X ray lasers are old tech
08:00:07 <T3sl4> there's been theorizing about gamma lasers, or gamma bombs or the like, using stimulated metastable nuclei
08:00:25 <T3sl4> but otherwise, FELs push into the xrays
08:00:27 <Halcyon> At first I thought it was an xray of a sausage in a jar, I was thinking, "you don't need an xray for that"
08:01:00 <T3sl4> also, synchrotrons do pretty stonking well on luminosity and can be monochromated, so eh

10:35:17 <Halcyon> You shouldn't need to. Hexchat is pretty stable.
10:35:34 <Jay> no i mean like, forgetting that I closed to tray
10:35:45 <Halcyon> Right

10:50:12 <Halcyon> I know there isn't much to see internally, but does that look like a decent design/build to you?
10:51:36 <arch> the power level is low enough that it doesn't need to be a big enclosure. likely it uses a flyback topology with multiple taps
10:51:58 * flyback bites arch
10:53:01 <arch> be back later
10:53:05 <Halcyon> To me it looks reasonably solid. Decent quality parts

10:54:30 <Ampera> Halcyon, you've always been interested in my bone, I'm unsure of how to think now that you've changed your mind
10:54:38 <Ampera> How are you doing Halcyon
10:54:42 <Halcyon> Doing OK
10:54:46 <Halcyon> Looking at C64 PSUs
10:54:53 <Ampera> less commodore
10:54:54 <Ampera> more wangs
10:55:02 <Halcyon> Heheh
10:55:11 <Ampera> plug your wang into a commodore
10:55:15 <Halcyon> Speaking of which, there is a few crates of cables in the garage I need to go through
10:55:42 <Ampera> I need to clean my videoing table and start making a video about that toshiba laptop I got
10:55:47 <Ampera> then start work on restoring it
10:56:01 <Ampera> I think I'll attempt a complete (or mostly complete) recap
10:56:11 <Halcyon> Yes and that Pentium Pro you said you would do
10:56:15 <Ampera> since supposedly the capacitors in those laptops are suspect.
10:56:16 <Halcyon> Still waiting bitch
10:56:16 Quit: steve30 ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
10:56:37 <Ampera> The issue, besides laziness, is whenever I go to write the script for that video, I feel the need to research a lot for it, then I enter a rabbit hole I never come out of
10:56:44 <Ampera> it feature creeps fast
10:57:01 <Ampera> but if I just make a yo, cool old PC, kinda video, I feel like I've done almost a disservice to the topic at hand
10:57:11 <Jay> do you use mind mapping software?
10:57:14 <Halcyon> Why script? Just do what Dave does, talk shit, the edit the boring bits
10:57:22 <Ampera> no, I use normal mapping software like ArcGIS
10:57:26 <Jay> XD
10:57:31 <Ampera> Halcyon, because his videos are long and boring and irritating to watch.
10:57:36 <Jay> I like this guy
10:57:52 <Ampera> Don't get me wrong, I love the guy and his content, but his videos can be hard to watch sometimes
10:57:59 <Jay> the Aussie accent does it for me
10:58:27 <Halcyon> He does have a bit of a "bogan" accent
10:58:30 <Halcyon> Not much but a little
10:58:37 <Ampera> I'd call it prepubescent, but that's a tad cruel
10:58:46 <Halcyon> Heh
10:58:47 <Jay> he's fit as hell
10:58:58 <Ampera> I'd kill for a high and light tone
10:59:00 <Halcyon> Yeh he is
10:59:12 <Jay> I mean, caving?>
10:59:15 <Halcyon> I'd kill for you not to sound like an American
10:59:17 <Jay> biking?
10:59:17 <Ampera> Yeah, makes one wish he'd finally come over and kick Halcyon into shape.
10:59:18 <Jay> yeah
10:59:39 <Ampera> Halcyon, y'all better watch that kinda tone of voice, that sorta negativity don't take too kindly round here
10:59:55 * Jay furtive glances
11:00:06 <Halcyon> Did you type that while chewing on a straw of hay ? :P
11:00:21 <Ampera> no, while fucking my sister who is also my cousin
11:00:35 <Halcyon> Pfft, don't lie. We all know you don't know how to fuck.
11:00:47 <Ampera> I also don't have a sister nor a cousin
11:01:07 <Jay> is Ampera through-hole or surface-mount
11:01:17 <Ampera> panel mount
11:02:06 <Ampera> I need a new laptop soon.
11:02:16 <Jay> frame.work
11:02:17 <Ampera> The cheap creaky lines of this one are starting to pull hairs out of my arms.
11:02:22 <Jay> lol
11:02:28 <Ampera> Jay, I was tempted, but the specs are kinda anemic for what I want
11:02:50 <Jay> pretty much
11:02:53 <Ampera> the swappable ports are cool too, but I honestly want more ports
11:03:01 <Ampera> 4 ports to be anything is a bit meh
11:03:04 <Jay> octoport.com
11:03:25 <Ampera> Supposedly they're working on an ARM version, if that's got some good oomph behind it and supports Linux, I'll jump right on it
11:03:43 <Ampera> My likely candidate is an M1X Macbook Pro when it comes out
11:03:44 <Jay> Ahhh, going like the M1 peeps
11:04:09 <Jay> do you believe in Apple
11:04:15 <Jay> 's M1 secret sauce
11:04:34 <Ampera> M1 is impressive on paper, M1X is hinting to be even better
11:04:46 <Ampera> My plan is to wait for it to come out, and then start evaluating my options
11:05:20 <Ampera> my requirements are usable graphics, a good screen, must have thunderbolt, and must not be Lenovo
11:06:42 <Halcyon> We have an M1 desktop at work
11:06:46 <Halcyon> Should pull it out of the box
11:06:57 <Ampera> presumably a mac mini
11:07:05 <Halcyon> Whatever the highest spec one is
11:07:13 <Ampera> they are all identically specced
11:07:19 <Halcyon> I didn't order it, I just said for them to get it with all the options
11:07:33 <Ampera> it's either an iMac or a Mac Mini
11:07:39 <Ampera> most likely a mac mini
11:08:09 <Halcyon> iMac, it's definitely not a Mac mini
11:08:11 <Halcyon> The box is huge
11:08:16 <Ampera> yeah then it's an iMac
11:08:21 <Ampera> which colour
11:08:34 <Halcyon> I don't know?
11:08:42 <Halcyon> I just approved the order
11:09:01 <Jay> Remember the candy macs
11:09:10 <Jay> and then dell responded with the shitty candy celerons

11:12:20 <Halcyon> We ordered the higher spec'd version though
11:12:35 <Halcyon> With the 8 core GPU
11:12:52 <Ampera> there's really only a few SKUs of M1
11:12:57 <Ampera> the rest is storage mods and color options
11:13:01 <Halcyon> Correct

11:15:24 <Halcyon> Right, so I ordered 2 new PSUs for my Commodore
11:16:00 <Ampera> The prices for the M1 gear were actually pretty reasonable, I'm hoping the M1X gear is equally reasonable
11:16:31 <Halcyon> Yeh it is, which makes a nice change. We'll see if Apple decide to keep it that way. I suspect not.
11:16:39 <Halcyon> It's probably to entice people over to the new platform
11:16:51 <Ampera> It'll probably have a reasonable starting price, but then nickel and dime for reasonable amounts of storage and RAM
11:17:46 <Jay> downloadmoreram
11:17:58 * Halcyon installs RAMdoubler
11:18:07 * Ampera uploads Jay to a cloud where he can stay there and be high and mighty
11:18:33 <Jay> Have any of you read Off to be the Wizard?
11:18:35 <Halcyon> I mean Mac's already use compressed memory
11:19:21 <Ampera> do they?
11:19:28 <Halcyon> Yessum
11:19:28 <Ampera> I've never actually used OS X

12:17:17 <MrMobodies> due to the high pollen levels I was taking anto histamine reluctantly, I don't like taking medicine if I can avoid..
12:17:36 <MrMobodies> these tablets worked, they stopped the flem build up and it changed my mood
12:17:50 <MrMobodies> everytime I take them they make me feel ill
12:18:08 <MrMobodies> they make me paranoid
12:18:28 <MrMobodies> and it keeps me awake I find I can't sleep
12:18:37 <Ampera> MrMobodies, afaik blueskull tried to DDoS the forums or something among those lines
12:18:39 <MrMobodies> despite it saying it makes you drowsy
12:18:43 <Ampera> and was causing some serious realworld problems
12:18:47 <MrMobodies> aaaah I see
12:19:00 <Ampera> MrMobodies, what sort of antihistamine are those
12:19:25 <MrMobodies> i'll get the container
12:19:27 <Ampera> I've found cetirizine works remarkably well for me, and is a much milder drug than most antihistamines
12:19:39 <coppice> MrMobodies: I think something bad happened to him in the US, and he became rather bitter and twisted
12:19:40 <Ampera> I've been taking one a day, and it doesn't make me drowsy at all
12:20:09 <Ampera> He seemed like a somewhat cool person, and was a regular I was somewhat familiar with
12:20:14 <Ampera> kind of a shame he decided to go postal
12:20:40 <MrMobodies> "Bell's Healthcare Hayfever and Aallergy 10mg tablets" ingredients: loratadine
12:21:52 <MrMobodies> I have another here with two ingrediants
12:22:27 <MrMobodies> aaah "cetirizine hydrochloride" from Galpharm
12:24:01 <Ampera> Yeah, one of those (presuming a similar dose) a day has helped me a lot
12:24:09 <Ampera> no clue what my allergies are, probably dust or something similar
12:24:17 <Ampera> cetirizine basically eliminates it
12:24:36 <Ampera> the only side effect is I occasionally get strange dreams, which in my opinion is a bonus rather than a detriment
12:24:43 <MrMobodies> I'll give that one with the cetrizine a go
12:24:48 <MrMobodies> here I had some strange dreams
12:24:54 <MrMobodies> nightmare kind of
12:24:59 <MrMobodies> but that was with the loratdaine
12:25:06 <MrMobodies> tablets
12:25:57 <MrMobodies> I was in this 4 story department installing phones, the managing director wanted to see me, accusing me of touching people
12:26:20 <MrMobodies> and went saw, never seen this person before, I asked why are you doing this
12:26:31 <MrMobodies> you working here is not natural
12:26:38 <MrMobodies> and asked me to leave
12:26:50 <MrMobodies> that was a couple of days ago
12:26:57 <MrMobodies> when I couldn't sleep well
12:27:01 <MrMobodies> with the tablet
12:27:14 <MrMobodies> it felt real
12:27:39 <MrMobodies> including this little black office phones

13:06:06 <Nothing\> MrMobodies, iced varietes of coffee
13:06:17 <MrMobodies> the local pub brought a new coffee machine and it keeps on breaking down
13:06:18 <Nothing\> i don't really care much for iced coffee itself
13:06:25 <MrMobodies> they spent £3500 on this thing
13:06:29 <Nothing\> offer to repair it
13:06:34 <MrMobodies> it is switched off at the moment
13:06:39 <Nothing\> in exchang for free drinks until next repair
13:06:42 <MrMobodies> and i said "is that screen burn you got on there"
13:06:53 <MrMobodies> no apparenty it isn't a screen it is just a light behind it
13:06:57 <MrMobodies> with a card they put in front
13:07:03 <Nothing\> lol wow
13:07:06 <MrMobodies> it is if the 5th it broke down in two months
13:07:31 <Nothing\> man, they just put up this huge LED pixel based billboard along this stretch of park way.
13:08:01 <MrMobodies> it is just a backlight with some buttons and you put cards in there
13:08:05 <MrMobodies> it does have a coffee grinder
13:08:08 <MrMobodies> but I think it has leaked
13:08:11 <Nothing\> But ever since they installed it half a year ago, it's almost constantly had dead patches, been dead all together, had discoloration, cropping of the ads and so on
13:08:14 <MrMobodies> I like coffee and baileys
13:08:21 <MrMobodies> aaaah
13:08:22 <Nothing\> and this is like one of fanciest billboard in the city

13:08:39 <MrMobodies> and in the night time better not look at it
13:08:44 <Nothing\> so far all i've see advertised on it is some kid's graduation and a weely gem show at the fair grounds
13:08:44 <MrMobodies> it blinds you

13:15:44 <Nothing\> i'b growing some pretty tall morning glories almost as you would a waddle square but without the reinforcement. or onything
13:15:56 <Nothing\> i think it's better for the birds to eat the morning glories
13:16:06 <MrMobodies> morning glories?
13:16:06 <Nothing\> cuz it maes them literally trip balls
13:16:09 <MrMobodies> is that fruit
13:16:26 <Nothing\> literally
13:16:31 <MrMobodies> the birds are nice here but it'd be sad when they get evicted soon
13:16:37 <MrMobodies> when the tree's come down
13:16:47 <MrMobodies> there's pigeons, doves and blackbirds living there
13:16:54 <MrMobodies> in those coniffers
13:17:00 <MrMobodies> but they all fight one another
13:17:03 <MrMobodies> in the garden
13:19:31 <Nothing\> well, actually morning glories contain a constance called lysergic acid amide
13:19:47 <Nothing\> which, as you may have guessed is related to lysergic acid diethylamide
13:21:28 <Nothing\> and yes, you can 'trip" on them. But it's not pleasant by any means.
13:22:57 <Nothing\> plus you need to eat 300 + seeds which isn't very fun
13:24:07 <MrMobodies> that's some of the garden

13:24:17 <MrMobodies> those morning glories i've sen them
13:24:23 <MrMobodies> on the driveway
13:24:27 <MrMobodies> growing wild
13:24:44 <MrMobodies> https://gardenerspath.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Morning-Glories-Are-Excellent-Climbers.jpg
13:24:48 <MrMobodies> a bit like this but smaller
13:25:56 <Nothing\> they have an unpleasant, sour, tangy, earthy flaovor
13:26:09 <Nothing\> MrMobodies, what about datura?
13:26:13 <Nothing\> that stuff's even worse
13:27:26 <Nothing\> i'm not one to say yes to making a whole group of plants illegal, but i think these should be illegal to knowingly culture and in unknown cases
13:29:32 <Nothing\> givev that they have no practical use in the home there's no reason they should exist
13:29:49 <Nothing\> =and that teenagers take them to get high on the toxic effects of them
13:31:32 <Nothing\> i should play my keyboard
13:31:36 <Nothing\> i haven't played in years
13:31:53 <Halcyon> They look pretty MrMobodies
13:33:10 <Nothing\> i smoke and then... i dunno what
13:33:22 <Nothing\> play rogue legacies 2 or goat sim
13:33:39 <Nothing\> or maybe play with my mom's new tablet
13:35:22 <Nothing\> though to do what, i haven't the foggiest
13:35:48 <Nothing\> what's something tablets can do now that they couldn't do 5-8 years ago?
13:37:22 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
13:37:24 * Ampera hugs Halcyon
13:37:27 * Ampera hugs MrMobodies
13:37:31 <Ampera> I hate you all <3
13:38:57 * Halcyon hugs Ampera but also goes for an ass grab
13:40:56 <Ampera> Halcyon, how can one grab what is so massive to be beyond the size of their hand?
13:41:08 <Halcyon> I just grab a hock
13:41:14 <Halcyon> Don't have to grab the whole thing
13:41:30 <MrMobodies> these things?

13:41:39 <MrMobodies> oh
13:41:52 <MrMobodies> are they morning glories they do look smaller
13:43:26 <MrMobodies> sorry I had a problem with a switch somewhere it went into the failure mode where no traffic goes through the ports
13:43:46 <MrMobodies> I was trying to find that picture of those wild purple things
13:44:29 <MrMobodies> it was on my phone and it seems quicker getting through the wifi
13:44:42 <MrMobodies> the cable goes into this media mode and it seems very slow

14:00:01 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/KMVugIp.jpg
14:00:10 <MrMobodies> we have a very fat pigeon living in the garden
14:00:29 <MrMobodies> it chases the other birds away
14:00:36 <MrMobodies> and it scared the crow a little
14:00:43 <MrMobodies> it's chest is red
14:00:46 <Halcyon> Chonky
14:01:03 <MrMobodies> and it does this thing where it lifts it's back feather up when it chases
14:01:14 <MrMobodies> but that crow is larger that is the big one
14:01:17 <MrMobodies> like a size of a duck
14:01:33 <MrMobodies> it's not happy with one piece of bread it has to pick 6 pieces before it flies away
14:02:34 <MrMobodies> but they're well fed
14:04:13 <Jay> Im a Jaybird
14:05:44 <Halcyon> Do you have colourful hair?
14:05:45 <Halcyon> :P
14:05:54 <MrMobodies> do you terrorise hens for fun?
14:06:06 <MrMobodies> that's a joke
14:06:15 <Halcyon> Chickens are so cute
14:06:23 <Halcyon> Next door used to have some, until the foxes ate them
14:06:35 <MrMobodies> oh sorry I mistook jay for a large sized crow
14:06:47 <MrMobodies> there are foxes living here
14:06:58 <MrMobodies> but the neighbours boxed their hens in
14:07:09 <MrMobodies> they never get out because the wife it scared of them
14:07:15 <Halcyon> The chickens did have their own big coop, but during the day they were out
14:07:16 <MrMobodies> there are in a large pen
14:07:25 <Halcyon> The foxes got crafty and came during the day instead of the evening
14:07:47 <MrMobodies> the neighbours good is left out and it is trained to bark at them
14:07:59 <MrMobodies> so maybe I should get a dog and train it to look after the pen
14:08:19 <MrMobodies> but they never let dog in because I here they can crush the eggs
14:08:27 <MrMobodies> in the pen I mean

16:06:10 <Nothing\> lal now i've seen every variety of dumb cannabis products
16:06:17 <Nothing\> bath bombs
16:07:33 <Nothing\> you get like 30mg of THC in this scented bath bomb and it's suppoesd to help with the usualy, aches, pains, nausea, anxiety that sorta stuff
16:07:48 <Nothing\> and dissolve the whole thing in your bath tub
16:10:35 <Nothing\> cuz i'm sure 30mg in dozens upon dozens of gallons of water, which it's not even a polar substance so it isn't even going to disolve an appreciable amount into your bath. And even if it did, I'v yet to read any edivence to support te topical use of THC. But as I haven't red about it in a lon time.
16:11:14 <Nothing\> so for all i know it coulda been discovered that it does hiave a decent bioavailability

18:57:19 <Halcyon> I have LED NTP clocks for my server rack now. I feel like I'm in Back to the Future
18:58:50 <steve30> What time is it?
19:02:22 <Halcyon> eevbot time Halcyon
19:02:23 <EEVBot> It is currently 2021/07/28 19:02:22 where Halcyon resides.
19:02:29 <Halcyon> That is correct
19:18:56 <T3sl4> mornin Halcyon
19:21:10 <Halcyon> Herro
19:36:24 <Halcyon> T3sl4, I was going to get your opinon on this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/113288010296
19:36:26 <EEVBot> [Title] - C64 PSU "2in1": Commodore 64 & 1541-II power supply. LED, PWR SWITCH (AU plug) 5906874492819 | eBay
19:36:31 <Halcyon> What does the construction look like to you?
19:37:17 <T3sl4> oh neat, a SMPS module
19:37:32 <T3sl4> plus transformer because the stupid thing used AC or whatever
19:38:33 <Halcyon> Correct
19:38:38 <Halcyon> 5v DC and 9v AC
19:38:41 <Halcyon> Because why the fuck not
19:39:14 <T3sl4> probably not all that quiet, those modules are only EMC tested with a load resistor, no ground return path
19:39:48 <T3sl4> so like, think i'd be a little surprised if it passes, but i wouldn't guess it fails by more than a modest margin
19:40:01 <T3sl4> you probably have worse shit nearby already
19:40:21 <Halcyon> *nod*
19:40:38 <T3sl4> the double fuse means it's actually safe for ITE, assuming it meets everything else of course
19:40:58 <Halcyon> It's got to be better than the original PSU, which could fail at any moment and blow things up
19:41:11 <T3sl4> uh, can't see the entire board so maybe they fucked up the clearance and it's actually a possible shock hazard, but it's probably alright and not too hard to inspect
19:42:16 <T3sl4> like, they put rout slots in there to increase creepage distance, that's a good sign
19:42:56 <Halcyon> So the US/AU version apparently comes with a fixed cable (instead of a normal figure 8 lead). Not sure why they've done that? Unless they needed a ground pin to conform with our standards?
19:43:46 <T3sl4> shrug
19:43:59 <T3sl4> the transformer needs to be hard wired for voltage, it's not universal input
19:44:23 <Halcyon> Curiously the UK one comes with a removable figure 8
19:44:29 <Halcyon> Even though they use 230/240v
19:45:25 <T3sl4> it doesn't really mean anything because you can plug it into either, erroneously
19:45:39 <T3sl4> tho if it's hard wired for 120, it'll simply blow up on 240
19:46:01 <T3sl4> whereas wired 240 powered 120, it just sucks / doesn't do anything
19:46:38 <Halcyon> Just seems odd to have two different versions
19:53:44 <T3sl4> mmm, this peach is good. not great, but good. somewhat more apricotty, just a little firm yet, not mushy
19:57:07 <Halcyon> Mmmmm pesh
