03:44:03 <T3sl4> Likely the best sentence I'll read today, perhaps this week: "Ramisyllis makes autonomous gonads that lie in the hazy middle ground between detachable penis and college freshman."
03:47:28 <coppice> I'm sure the occasional college freshman gets drunk enough to detach their penis

09:46:49 <Nothing\> man, rogue legacy 2 is kind of a disappointment
09:46:59 <Nothing\> i mean, it's a fun game but it's not even complete
09:47:22 <Nothing\> there are so many areas in the game and level-up skills and stuff that are disabled because they haven't been implemented yet
09:47:49 <Nothing\> and not special stuff, just regular stuff you need to progress through the game properly
09:48:47 <Nothing\> i feel kinda ripped off, but at the same time i know i'm gonna start a new game once they have enough major updates out to make it anywhere close to a completed game
09:50:29 <Nothing\> i also hate these games on steam that want me to update them literally almost every day
09:51:10 <Nothing\> new updates are exciting but when you're going from 0.2.12.8 to 0.2.12.9 i really don't give a shit
09:51:50 <Nothing\> unless it's a fix for a recent major update
09:59:11 * electrohead applies a hot fix to Nothing\
10:04:10 <Nothing\> hey electrohead
10:04:14 <Nothing\> how's it going?
10:04:50 <Nothing\> lol i've been playing Spore a lot lately
10:04:51 <+electrohead> lol, hey man
10:04:54 <+electrohead> it's going, you?
10:05:02 <Nothing\> I'm not too bad
10:05:22 <Nothing\> kinda pissed at my brother for hanging up on my mom just because she had trouble hearing him
10:05:49 <Nothing\> second time i came close to writing him a scathing message on facebook. Not that he'd read it.
10:05:59 <Nothing\> I'd have to literally beat it into him
10:06:38 <Nothing\> and since i have sexual assault charges against his wife that i'm still on probation for, it's probably not the best idea to physically assault him.
10:06:46 <Nothing\> or his exwife, whatever
10:06:55 <Nothing\> but she has assault charges against him
10:07:13 <Nothing\> so round and round the merrigoround goes
10:08:12 <Nothing\> at least i'd have good reason for assaulting him. I think just about anyone who loved their mother would assault somebody who berated her or disrespected her in any way. Especially family.
10:09:51 * Nothing\ sighs
10:09:59 <Nothing\> i just don't know wtf to do about him
10:10:21 * electrohead shrugs
10:10:26 <Nothing\> i just wish he'd get locked up for no less than 6 months in a rehab program, no more than 2 years
10:10:41 <Nothing\> it'll take nothing short of that. But that has to be voluntary
10:11:05 <Nothing\> especially because if it's not, all he's gonna do the whole time is plan how to get high when he gets out
10:11:25 <Nothing\> i know this because that's what i have done/would do
10:11:57 <Nothing\> that's the most frustrating part about addicts is you can't do anything to help them unless they want the help
10:12:38 <Nothing\> ideally at this point you would then cut off all ties you have with them, but my mom's unwilling to do that. Saying how she helped me when I was in bad shape and didn't abandon me so she won't do that to him.
10:13:07 <Nothing\> But I was at least grateful for her help. I was at least respectful to her and never said a single bad thing to or about her.
10:14:33 <Nothing\> I never screamed at her for trivial reasons like he does. Like when my Mom couldn't get a dentist appointment early enough through no fault of her own. The dentist juts didn't have any appointments. But he didn't care.
10:14:54 <Nothing\> and what kind of 42 year old needs their mommy to call and make appointments for him anyways
10:16:21 <Nothing\> i mean, i get my mom to make appointments for me sometimes like with my shrink where you can only call the office between 10 and 11am and between 1 and 2pm and I'm usually sleeping during those hours.
10:16:31 <Nothing\> but again, i'm grateful for it. And I show it.
10:16:52 * electrohead runs from the wall of text
10:16:58 <Nothing\> heh sorry
10:16:59 <+electrohead> lol :p
10:17:03 <+electrohead> nah, you're good
10:17:04 <Nothing\> i'm just frustrated
10:17:08 <+electrohead> yeah I can tell
10:17:18 <Nothing\> at my wit's end with this
10:17:25 <Nothing\> damned if i do and damned if i don't
10:18:14 <Nothing\> whenever i tried stopping my mom, it just wound up in shouting matches and even me resorting to blocking him on her phone and facebook and hiding her keys but to no avail
10:18:47 <Nothing\> so i finally gave in and said i won't meddle as long as she only takes him out shopping or whatever once a week and no more
10:19:13 <+electrohead> you'll get a kick out of this - running 'file' on the files about to be uploaded to my 3D printer's touch screen (firmware), this came up
10:19:16 <+electrohead> 13_touch.bin: PDP-11 pure executable - version 5
10:19:24 <Nothing\> but then he has doctor's appoinments and dentist appoinments and shrink appointments and other shit. So it ends up being more like 3 or 4 times a week anyways
10:19:27 <+electrohead> I assure you, I am *not* running a PDP-11
10:19:39 <Nothing\> lol
10:19:51 <Nothing\> was there a pdp 11?
10:19:58 <Nothing\> i know there was a pdp-10
10:20:09 <Nothing\> and i think there was a pdp-12
10:20:15 <+electrohead> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDP-11
10:20:17 <EEVBot> [Title] - PDP-11 - Wikipedia
10:20:25 <Nothing\> yeah i was just gonna say
10:20:29 <Nothing\> looks like there was
10:20:39 <Nothing\> i have a pdp-10 emulator somewhere
10:20:51 <Nothing\> emulates the front panel with the switches and LEDs
10:21:26 <Nothing\> it's pretty neat, but i prefer the altair 8800 emulator i got that works the same way cuz i've actually got the manual for the 8800
10:21:27 <+electrohead> I would love to get my hands on a PDP-15 once I get a house
10:21:37 <Nothing\> heh it focuses so much on octal
10:21:53 <Nothing\> it seems like they used octal instead of hex back then
10:22:29 <Nothing\> electrohead, you don't think the electric bill would be astronomical?
10:22:57 <Nothing\> i mean, i dunno how big a pdp-15 is, buti wouldn't imagine it was built with low power draw in mind
10:23:00 <+electrohead> I wouldn't have it turned on, all the time :p
10:23:16 <Nothing\> but all the best computers run 24/7
10:25:05 <Nothing\> hrm only 55 hours of uptime on my compture
10:25:19 <Nothing\> i wonder why it was turned off 2.5 days ago
10:25:30 <Nothing\> musta been a power failure or update or something
10:26:24 <+electrohead> I swear I didn't do it lol
10:26:44 <Nothing\> lol
10:26:51 <Nothing\> i had it up for weeks before that
10:27:00 <Nothing\> it's a shame i didn't get around to actually checking how long it was
10:27:09 <Nothing\> i didn't realize you can check it just right in task manager
10:27:31 <Nothing\> i thought you had to go into the command line and type some system variable
10:33:35 <+electrohead> uptime
10:33:41 <+electrohead> but, that's for us linux guys
10:34:05 <jaymax> Esp SUSE people.
10:34:32 <jaymax> Since they have that kernel hotpatching thing.
11:00:39 <Nothing\> electrohead, yeah i figured windows had something like that
11:00:55 <Nothing\> or like VMS where it displays the uptime in microfortnights
11:01:03 <Nothing\> which are about 1.2 seconds
11:01:10 <Nothing\> hey actually
11:02:13 <Nothing\> that's pretty close to the on time of a monostable multivibrator made from a BJT 555 timer using a 10k resistor
11:02:20 <Nothing\> i think it's 10k anyways
11:02:28 <Nothing\> cuz itworks out to 1.1 seconds
11:02:49 <Nothing\> a 10k resistor and a 10uf cap
11:03:10 <Nothing\> cuz 10k cancels out 10u
11:03:44 <Nothing\> i should make that into a unit of time
11:04:02 <Nothing\> or better yet, i should try to make a metric time system
11:04:22 <Nothing\> although i think people have already tried and found it's not possible for some reason i forget
11:05:50 <Nothing\> 100 seconds to the minute, then what? 100 minutes per hour and 10 hours per day
11:06:14 <Nothing\> i can't be bothered to do the math, but it already starts to fall apart at that point
11:06:52 <Nothing\> nevermind once you get to like 10 days a month, 10 months a year 10 years per... something
11:08:51 <Nothing\> 100 minutes of 100 seconds would be 10,000 seconds which is 166 minutes, or almost 3 hours
11:09:23 <Nothing\> 2.78 hours to be exact
11:09:53 <Nothing\> so a 10 hour day would be 27.8 hours. So far pretty close as long as you're ignoring the solar calendar
11:11:08 <Nothing\> so that'd make a 100 day year 2,780 hours long, which is only about 115 real days
11:11:51 <Nothing\> or you could make a year 1000 days, but that would make a year 1,150 real days long, or about 3 real years
11:12:32 <Nothing\> so that's where it really starts to fall apart. But wikipedia actually has an entire article about metric time and the problems with it
11:13:12 <Nothing\> and yes, i'm bored
11:13:20 <Nothing\> bored and stoned lol

11:29:01 <steve30> i think i'll make a coffee
11:29:37 <Nothing\> ah
11:29:43 <Nothing\> well that was nice

11:31:50 * Nothing\ hugs T3sl4 <3
11:31:54 <Nothing\> heya buddy
11:31:56 <Nothing\> how's it going?
11:32:13 <T3sl4> good, just cooling down after a somewhat sweaty walk
11:32:20 <Nothing\> right on
11:32:23 <Nothing\> yeah it's pretty hot here too
11:32:38 <Nothing\> went up to at least 40c with the humidity
11:34:10 <Nothing\> supposed to go up to 42 some time later this week
11:34:34 <Nothing\> i don't mind though, i sleep during the hottest hours of the day, plus i have 2 window air conditioners
11:34:44 <T3sl4> oof
11:34:55 <T3sl4> says 28c here, dunno what the heat index is
11:35:03 <Nothing\> actually it's interesting, i've been putting a thermometer out in the car to see how hot it gets
11:35:05 * electrohead feels T3sl4
11:35:38 <Nothing\> and yeah, when it's ~28 or so, the thermometer still only says 35 in the shad
11:35:39 <Nothing\> e
11:36:03 <Nothing\> and in the light it says maybe 45 or so. Which is still horribly hot but still
11:36:10 <Nothing\> not as hot as I would have thought.
11:36:13 * T3sl4 gives electrohead a wet willy
11:36:42 * electrohead gives one back
11:36:44 <+electrohead> lol, hey man
11:36:50 <T3sl4> definitely the time of year you want to park in the shade
11:37:10 <Nothing\> yeah i'd say
11:37:18 <Nothing\> my mom has a horrible habit of parking in the sun
11:37:24 <Nothing\> then shel'l take the keys with her
11:37:46 <Nothing\> actually i remember my brother's exwife telling me about one time when she was little
11:38:00 <Nothing\> her mom left her in the car on a hot day with the windows up
11:38:09 <Nothing\> and she got so sick, she threw up everywhere
11:38:22 <Nothing\> gotta love 80's parenting
11:38:49 <Nothing\> like how my parents would let my brother and i play all day in the florida sun with no sunscreen at all
11:38:58 <Nothing\> my brother isa ginger, too
11:39:19 <Nothing\> we used to get such bad sunburns that we'd actually have blisters all over us
11:39:43 <Nothing\> and of course my brother being 6 years my older used to give me body gloves on my sunburns
11:39:57 <Nothing\> basically where you slap the person as hard as you can on their bare skin
11:41:23 <Nothing\> i mean, i was 4, he was 10. What could i do.
11:42:01 <T3sl4> yeah, not great
11:42:25 <Nothing\> i never got my revenge on him for shit like that until i was maybe 12 or so. He took the remote from me as he often does so I smashed him in the nose with a rubik's cube.
11:42:43 <Nothing\> but then he just threw me on the ground and started stomping on my head and neck
11:43:10 <Nothing\> so i grabbed a knife and tried to stab him. But he hit me with a kitchen chair.
11:43:21 <Nothing\> this was how most of our fights went
11:43:26 <Nothing\> except i rarely fought back
11:44:00 <Nothing\> he was bullied at school, so he bullied me at home
11:44:30 <Nothing\> along with everybody else, but that's another story
11:45:00 <Nothing\> oh btw guys
11:45:04 <Nothing\> perseids are on right now
11:45:11 <Nothing\> i believe they're peaking tonight
11:45:19 <Nothing\> so be on the lookout
11:46:27 <Nothing\> in my area, perseus is off to the north east or so when it rises. You can tell it cuz just next to it is a W shaped constellation where the 2 pointy bits point to a long line of stars, which is perseus
11:46:54 <Nothing\> if you can see it well enough, the line of stars should have a square on one end. Possibly the left.
11:47:53 <Nothing\> i remember the one years the perseids were so plentiful that in the 5 minutes it took me to have a cigarette, i saw over 12 of them.
11:48:22 <Nothing\> and speaking of having a smoke. I should do that. I've only smoked once today.
11:49:10 <steve30> i should go out for some shopping today
11:49:27 <Nothing\> oh and i guess while my brother was in the hospital, somebody hacked all of his stuff
11:50:05 <Nothing\> got into his wifi, changed the password, intercepted several packages from amazon cuz they got into his amazon account, and his email, and his bank account and a bunch of other stuff
11:50:34 <Nothing\> and for some reason his landlord won't give them the admin password for the wifi. So he couldn't do shit until he got a hold of the guy
11:50:53 <Nothing\> couldn't go in and try to change any passwords back or fix anything
11:51:25 <Nothing\> not exactly the best way to come home after spending the week in the hospital and already being really agitated
11:53:31 <Nothing\> but then he was also saying he was wandering around his townhouse complex going up to random people (mostly families in that area) saying stuff like "it's okay I'm not crazy" or "i'm not contagious I don't have covid" trying to explain why the ambulance came for him cuz he was swearing up and down that everybody was judging him for it
11:54:10 <Nothing\> i figure they were probably more freaked out about this random person approaching them and probably their kids and ranting about covid or how he's not crazy
11:54:34 <Nothing\> i was in a state like that once and i wound up getting the cops called on me and getting taken back home

12:09:24 <Nothing\> lol i had a friend i know from like 2000 look me up on facebook a few years ago, she was married to this drill sgt or something to do with training guy who was in the NAVY
12:09:38 <Nothing\> somehow we wound up having an affair together
12:09:58 <Nothing\> then he found out that she was just talking to me and flipped his shit so she broke it off
12:10:13 <Nothing\> probably just as well, i had about 2 other gfs at the time who were spoken for as well
12:10:22 <Nothing\> gfs or love interests

13:17:49 <steve30> and my calf is still aching too
13:18:16 <Halcyon> What did you do?
13:18:45 <+electrohead> I was honestly expecting more sparks
13:19:01 <Halcyon> Awww you spoiler
13:19:06 * T3sl4 slaughers the calf, serves it over rice
13:19:09 <Halcyon> I was literally just up to that bit
13:19:17 <steve30> Its been hurting for the last two years.
13:19:50 <Halcyon> I wonder if the electric company get alarms when he starts playing

13:41:40 <Ampera> I see how it is
13:41:46 * Ampera begins setting more fruits on fire
13:42:04 <Ampera> Eventually I will run out, and will be left with only one fruit to immolate.
13:42:19 <Ampera> Do not let me get to this point.

13:44:07 <Ampera> apparently all the episodes of What's My Line are up on YouTube
13:44:11 <Ampera> they are quite entertaining
13:44:41 <Ampera> get to see celebrities whose person I'm not used to thinking about or seeing, such as Walt Disney, or Colonel Sanders
13:44:51 <Halcyon> Heheh they speak the queens English
13:45:02 <Ampera> huh?
13:45:27 <Halcyon> Oh the first guy sounded very British
13:45:34 <Ampera> what first guy
13:45:45 <Halcyon> But disregard, I misheard
13:45:51 <Ampera> ok...
13:45:58 <Halcyon> I had it turned down
13:47:36 <Ampera> The only shame is I only recognize a small number of the celebrities they have on, as obviously they were all before my time.
13:47:50 <Halcyon> I'm considering a nap
13:48:04 <Ampera> eevblog time
13:48:07 <Ampera> blech
13:48:22 <Ampera> a nap?
13:48:23 <Halcyon> eevbot time
13:48:24 <EEVBot> It is currently 2021/08/09 13:48:23 at the EEVBlog lab.
13:48:26 <Ampera> what are you, a pensioner?
13:48:33 <Halcyon> I didn't sleep well last night
13:49:00 <Halcyon> I feel like Toblerone icecream
13:49:14 <Halcyon> Or cheesecake, they have a cheesecake now
13:49:15 <Halcyon> Nom
13:49:16 <Ampera> I have never had a toblerone, they are not common here
13:49:21 <Ampera> closest I've had is a charleston chew
13:49:51 <Halcyon> If they could dial up the amount of nougat in Toblerone by about 10% it would be perfect
13:50:05 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
13:50:17 * Halcyon nougat's Ampera
13:50:19 <Ampera> I'm itching to have some cereal, but I'll probably wait until I wake up
13:50:22 <Ampera> I'm sleeping right now
13:50:39 <Halcyon> Please don't wake up
13:50:44 <Halcyon> I'd hate to have to listen to your shit
13:50:52 <Ampera> oh yeah, I completely forgot to tell you, I've been messing around with brain interfaces, and rigged something up so I can IRC in my sleep
13:51:06 <Ampera> Halcyon, obviously you need to turn TTS off
13:51:08 <Halcyon> So if I kick you, will your brain kick your IRL ?
13:51:08 <Halcyon> :P
13:51:15 <Halcyon> *you
13:51:24 <Ampera> will my brain kick my IRL?
13:51:27 <Halcyon> Yes
13:51:35 <Halcyon> As in, you'll feel pain
13:51:35 <Ampera> no, but if you keep using broken english like that I might just have a stroke
13:51:39 <Halcyon> Kind of like the matrix
13:52:03 <Halcyon> What was wrong with what I said? It made perfect sense.
13:55:12 <Halcyon> https://twitter.com/TomLawrenceTech/status/1424308146613506048
13:55:13 <Halcyon> Oops
13:55:27 <Halcyon> They look old anyway, but still. Sad.
14:18:33 <+electrohead> everything works 100% on the printer, with different firmware
14:18:36 * electrohead does a dance
14:30:29 * Ampera dances with electrohead
14:31:06 <Ampera> A prior incarnation of myself used to do ballet.
14:32:13 <+electrohead> lol
14:32:31 <Ampera> how are you doing electrohead
14:33:04 <+electrohead> amazing, yet tired
14:33:13 <+electrohead> you?
14:35:34 <Ampera> sad, hungry, horny, and tired.
14:35:42 <Ampera> The four horsemen of the apocalypse
14:35:43 <+electrohead> lmfao
14:36:14 <+electrohead> I need to get to bed
14:36:20 <+electrohead> been fucking with the printer all day
14:36:35 <+electrohead> it's done, other than fine tuning
14:37:42 <Ampera> what printer is this
14:39:34 <+electrohead> the Creality Ender 6
14:39:43 Join: Guest69 ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
14:40:04 <Ampera> oh, 3D printer?
14:40:06 <Ampera> boring
14:40:33 <+electrohead> I did the wiring for the raspberry pi, wired in a dc-dc converter to power it from the printer's PSU, set up the camera, then flashed different firmware on both the main controller, and screen
14:40:37 <+electrohead> that's boring to you?
14:40:38 <+electrohead> pfft
14:40:47 * electrohead 3D prints a hammer to hit Ampera with
14:41:35 <Ampera> extremely, I much prefer 2D printers
14:45:11 <+electrohead> goof
14:45:40 <Ampera> it was midnight
14:45:50 <Ampera> now it's 45 minutes past midnight
14:45:58 <Ampera> what the fuck is wrong with me and my life
14:47:16 <+electrohead> everything.
14:47:39 <+electrohead> https://0xznc01.pw:2600/public/2021-08-09-004707_1600x900_scrot.png
14:47:41 <Ampera> I love you
14:47:44 <+electrohead> I love you too
14:47:45 <+electrohead> :P
14:47:56 <+electrohead> there's the (new) dashboard
14:48:02 <Ampera> your printer has a web console?
14:48:17 <Ampera> why can't people just not use the fucking web for everything for a change
14:48:38 <+electrohead> I'm not using the internet to access it..
14:48:50 <+electrohead> it's on my local network
14:48:55 <Ampera> I said web, not internet
14:49:13 <+electrohead> nevermind
14:49:24 <Ampera> if anything, the overuse of the web in a local or desktop sense is even worse
14:49:31 <Ampera> such as electron
14:50:40 <+electrohead> so I have a camera hooked up, the graphical interface is nice for a 3D printer
14:50:50 <+electrohead> you do know that most things I do are in command line world, yes?
14:51:35 <Ampera> is that supposed to be impressive?
14:52:07 <+electrohead> you seriously want me to use a fucking terminal to view the camera feed?
14:52:11 <Ampera> I've always just stuck sliced models on an SD card and used my printer's onboard firmware
14:52:14 <Ampera> yes
14:52:15 <Ampera> please
14:52:22 <+electrohead> you fucking goofball
14:52:25 <Ampera> go sixel or go home
14:52:29 <+electrohead> lol
14:52:43 <+electrohead> the ender 6 by default, had just the sd card slot for prints
14:52:58 <+electrohead> I just tapped into the USB port for more functionality and better firmware, etc
14:53:18 <+electrohead> have you heard of klipper?
14:53:28 <Ampera> no
14:53:33 <+electrohead> no?
14:53:33 <Ampera> I don't swing that way
14:53:40 <+electrohead> https://www.klipper3d.org/
14:53:41 <EEVBot> [Title] - Welcome - Klipper documentation
14:53:58 <Ampera> I never use my 3D printer

14:54:06 <EEVBot> [Title] - GitHub - cadriel/fluidd: Fluidd, the klipper UI.
14:54:22 <+electrohead> I highly recommend checking those out
14:54:26 <+electrohead> what printer do you have?
14:54:38 <Ampera> oh dear lord
14:54:56 <Ampera> docker, web UI
14:55:05 <Ampera> these people are fucking psychopaths
14:55:12 <+electrohead> you don't need to use docker..
14:55:14 <Ampera> some XYZWare thing
14:55:26 <Ampera> oh that makes me feel /much/ better
14:57:48 <Ampera> I don't care about firmware, I'd settle for CAD software that ran on Linux and wasn't a nightmare to use
14:58:14 <Ampera> that's the main reason I don't 3D print much
14:59:21 * electrohead shrugs
14:59:27 <+electrohead> everything is a nightmare to you
14:59:52 <+electrohead> my boring ass is going to bed, goodnight
15:00:17 <Ampera> I am a nightmare
15:00:20 <Ampera> good night
15:00:24 <Ampera> I love you

15:59:17 <EEVBot> Hello, watcher!
16:35:56 Quit: watcher ([email protected]) Quit: i'am out
17:52:21 <K> hello weeds
17:56:31 <Halcyon> Hey all
17:56:49 <Halcyon> Half my house is without power :( A breaker keeps tripping
17:56:51 <K> Halcyoff
17:57:00 <Halcyon> I am hoping it's just a faulty breaker and nothing more expensive.
17:57:36 <K> too much load maybe?
17:58:00 <Halcyon> Nah nothings changed. Even if I power off everything I can it still trips right away
17:58:04 <Halcyon> Doesn't even latch
17:58:30 <K> sounds like it b0rk
17:58:40 <K> no funny smell?
17:58:48 <Halcyon> The only thing I haven't been able to isolate are the hot water system and the range hood
17:58:50 <Halcyon> Nope
17:59:14 <Halcyon> And there aren't any big loads on that circuit. Mayvbe 500 watts max?
17:59:38 <K> either that or there is a short somewhere
17:59:47 <Halcyon> I am hoping not
18:00:03 <Halcyon> Fingers crossed it's just a breaker
18:00:12 <K> a current clamp would be handy
18:00:18 <K> measuring clamp thing
18:00:35 <Halcyon> Electrician is coming out tomorrow
18:01:13 <Halcyon> Actually there is one bedroom which is off that circuit that I haven't isolated, I thought it was on the other circuit but turns out it's not.
18:02:28 <Halcyon> Nup, not that either
18:03:24 <K> you have only one phase?
18:03:30 <Halcyon> 3 phase
18:03:37 <K> all 3 are tripping?
18:03:41 <Halcyon> And all 3 phases are working
18:03:56 <Halcyon> No the mains breaker is remaining on, it's just one of the power circuits
18:04:07 <Halcyon> Every other outlet and lights, aircon, oven all work
18:04:31 <K> ah.
18:04:48 <Halcyon> So it's a breaker that feeds the power outlets to half of the house
18:04:49 <K> welp, wait for the electrician it is then
18:05:01 <Halcyon> Yeh I'm not going to start stuffing around, especially in the dark
18:05:15 <Halcyon> The downside is, the hot water is also on that circuit, so no hot shower for me in the morning.
18:05:36 <K> go to the neighbours?
18:05:40 <K> (joke)
18:05:44 <Halcyon> I could
18:05:52 <Halcyon> But he is coming around midday, so I'll survive until then
18:06:08 <Halcyon> I had a shower this evening
18:48:43 <Lord_of_nothing> Hi
18:48:50 <Halcyon> Hey Lord_of_nothing
18:49:02 <Lord_of_nothing> How does everyone feel?
18:49:09 <Halcyon> Shithouse. How are you?
18:50:04 <Lord_of_nothing> sadly i feel sleepy my medicine drive me insane

19:48:00 <Zsjoelfir> morningses
19:48:17 <Halcyon> Hey Zsjoelfir
19:49:54 <Zsjoelfir> I like this new workplace. Mr. Boss allowed me to use IRC because you guys always have such great ideas :) so I'll be idling around, as usual.
19:50:12 <Zsjoelfir> though I have to configure the bouncer, but that can wait for another day.
19:51:11 <Halcyon> Oh really?
19:51:16 <Halcyon> That's cool. He knows but this channel?
19:51:19 <Halcyon> 8ABOUT
19:51:23 <Halcyon> *about
19:51:25 <Halcyon> Fuck
19:51:30 <Halcyon> I'm not having a good day
19:52:01 <Zsjoelfir> I told him. We had a meeting today and I told him about the great ideas I got while discussing product ideas with some people in here at the weekend
19:52:03 <Halcyon> At least your nick is easier to pronounce now.... Zoel-fir
19:52:04 <Halcyon> :P
19:52:12 <Zsjoelfir> xD

20:09:51 <Zsjoelfir> Nice! I should check if I can make that in this shitty apartment where I live in right now :D
20:10:11 <Halcyon> Why did you move into a shitty apartment?
20:12:38 <K> cos he has not monies for a nice one
20:12:43 <K> yet
20:16:56 <Halcyon> But why move at all?
20:18:49 <K> cos he found job on the other side of country
20:19:20 <K> but moving with gf and rent laws complicate matters, i assume
20:21:29 <Zsjoelfir> exactly
20:21:37 <Halcyon> Rent laws?
20:21:45 <Zsjoelfir> can't just say "ok bye"
20:21:50 <Halcyon> Why?
20:22:04 <Zsjoelfir> have to say that 3 to 6 months in advance
20:22:13 <Halcyon> Oh right, got yhou
20:22:20 <Halcyon> I supposed if you sign a contract.
20:22:39 <Halcyon> Here, after the contract expires, you have to give "reasonable" notice, which is usually 14 days.
20:22:46 <Zsjoelfir> exactly. so mrs. fiancee is still in frankfurt and I am in Hamburg now
20:22:55 <Halcyon> Heheh Sausage
20:23:01 <Halcyon> And Burgers

20:25:06 <Zsjoelfir> yes :P
20:25:06 <EEVBot> [Title] - Google Maps
20:25:08 <Halcyon> I just looked it up
20:25:12 <Halcyon> Quite some distance
20:25:17 <Zsjoelfir> just a bit.
20:25:25 <Halcyon> Are you handling it OK?
20:25:49 <Zsjoelfir> yep. I enjoy it, its pretty nice here, people are way nicer than down there. but mrs. fiancee wants to come ASAP
20:26:10 <Halcyon> How long before she can join you>?
20:26:35 <Zsjoelfir> probably at least 3 months
20:27:04 <Halcyon> It'll go by quickly
20:27:10 <Halcyon> I'm glad you're enjoying it
20:27:32 <Halcyon> I wonder why people are so different
20:28:32 <Halcyon> What's a Planschbecken ?
20:30:59 <Zsjoelfir> Because people in frankfurt are surrounded by rich bastards and poor bastards, so they are just snobby idiots and assholes, and people in the north are a bit rough but friendly and helpfull, because traditionally you are depending on each other sticking together to overcome challenges of nature.
20:31:24 <Zsjoelfir> A Planschbecken is a cute little inflatable swimmingpool for children. or pets. or me (to sit in on the balcony)
20:33:12 <Halcyon> I was looking at this https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Frankfurt,+Germany/Hamburg,+Germany/@53.5970585,10.0218422,162m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m13!4m12!1m5!1m1!1s0x47bd096f477096c5:0x422435029b0c600!2m2!1d8.6821267!2d50.1109221!1m5!1m1!1s0x47b161837e1813b9:0x4263df27bd63aa0!2m2!1d9.9936819!2d53.5510846
20:33:14 <EEVBot> [Title] - Google Maps
20:33:19 <Halcyon> It's like an artificial beach
20:36:52 <K> 92 hours walking from Frankfurt to Hamburg
20:36:55 <K> nice
20:39:50 <Zsjoelfir> yep, it is. strange enough, since Hamburg has enough water to have "real" beaches. also, from there you can basically drive roughly 1 hour and are at either the north or the east sea. so.... yeah :D
20:43:38 <K> i've been to Hamburg once
20:43:41 <K> it was nice
20:52:37 <Zsjoelfir> it is, its actually (imho) one of the nicest "megacities" in germany, even though its the second biggest one we have
21:02:32 <Zsjoelfir> Lunch break!
21:02:35 * Zsjoelfir flees
21:47:01 <K> aargh, if i count up all the current my dac channel opamps use, that pidly charge-pump rail generator will not do
