00:27:24 <Nothing> well wtf
00:27:32 <Nothing> i can't get the sim/sd card slot open on my tablet
00:27:46 <Nothing> i poke a thing into the hole and nothing happens
00:28:02 <Ampera> coppice, makes sense, as the solder is just two metals mixed and extruded
00:28:04 <Nothing> for all i know i'm literally raping the speaker or pressure sensor or something with a pin
00:28:13 <Ampera> do you have any suggestions as to what to look out for, or even better, a good supplier in the US?
00:28:38 <Nothing> man i fucking hate mobile devices
00:28:59 <Nothing> the only thing they're good for is reading the news on the toilet
00:29:15 <Nothing> but i could easily set up a pi and a tv in my bathroom to do that
00:29:27 <Nothing> though i don't think the tv would like the humidity of a shower
00:33:53 <Nothing> fuck this is so retarded
00:34:11 <Nothing> it's a galaxy A7 so i search "change sd card samsung galaxy a7"
00:34:21 <Nothing> and it brings up a bunch of stuff that says it's for the A7
00:34:27 <Nothing> but it's all for phones, not tablets
00:34:32 <Nothing> which this is a tablet, not a phone
00:34:35 <T3sl4> Ampera: last time i just ebayed a few spools of kester, the flux is a bit of a crap shoot if you're shopping by price, things to watch out for, RMA vs no-clean vs others; and age, solder does expire, as in, it may be a bit oxidized (or worse if storage sucked), or the rosin is a bit weak
00:34:45 <Nothing> so what? is there a phone called a galaxy A7 too?
00:34:51 <T3sl4> i don't mind rosin core too much as i have paste flux handy, do recommend
00:35:25 <Nothing> either way this is fucking stupid that i can't even get the SD card slot open on this thing
00:35:43 <Nothing> how retarded is an engineer that they can't even make something THAT fundamental work the way it should
00:35:58 <Ampera> Most of this cheap stuff is rosin core
00:35:59 <Nothing> oh wait, i'm talking about an industry that thinks steve jobs is their god
00:36:06 <Ampera> I very rarely solder, but I have only a small amount on hand
00:36:12 <Ampera> so I'd like to keep some sort of supply
00:42:11 * Lord_of_nothing think Mr. Kuschel is angry because i am rite.
00:47:18 <Nothing> okay that's fucking retarded
00:47:27 <Nothing> there's a phone called a samsung galaxy a7
00:47:44 <Nothing> then there's a tablet which was made 3 years later called the samsung galaxy TAB A7
00:48:11 <Nothing> that's why every time i tried to look up how to open this stupid SD card slot it'd just bring up crap for cell phones
00:48:34 <Nothing> but i don't get why this slot won't open, you just jam something in and it should pop opened like any other phone
00:48:45 <Nothing> but damned if i can get it to do anything
00:48:55 <Nothing> fuck i fucking hate mobile devices
00:49:01 * Nothing flips off the floor
00:49:05 <Nothing> fuck you steve jobs
00:49:10 <Nothing> hope you're having fun down there
00:49:15 * Nothing stomps on the floor
00:49:39 <Nothing> stupid fucking ingrate
00:50:06 <Nothing> gets the one curable form of pancreatic cancer and decides to "cure" it by eating vegetables and soaking his feet in the toilet
00:50:31 <Nothing> how's a guy like that have any influence on anyone? nevermind an entire industry?
00:50:46 * Nothing bashes his head on the table
00:50:54 * Nothing repeats several more times
00:51:15 <Nothing> sorry, i just had to vent
00:51:30 <Nothing> after almost an hour of trying to open this stupid thing, i'm at my wits' end
00:52:04 <Nothing> what happened to the addage of a well engineered consumer product being one that's intuitive to use?
00:52:37 <Nothing> where a good product was marked by being able to just look at it and immediately know what to do with it and how to use it, or mostly know
00:53:05 <Nothing> or at the very least, came with a small manual that gave you all the info you need to know
00:53:41 <Nothing> oh well i guess we won't have to worry about any of this once china's economy implodes on itself
00:54:06 <Nothing> it's got more bubbles than a jacuzzi
00:56:16 <+electrohead> o/
00:59:39 <coppice> Nothing\: you look at too much western news. China's growth has HUGE issues, but they are rarely the issues the western news reports

01:04:21 <Nothing\> hey electrohead
01:05:12 <Nothing\> coppice: and with how much info the suppress, you can imagine how much more dire the actual situation is
01:05:35 <Nothing\> between the problems we know about, the problems that are popular knowledge, and the problems that have been kept hidden from the public
01:05:48 <Nothing\> actually speaking of which (sorta)
01:06:01 <Nothing\> i remember maybe 1 or 2 weeks before the taliban coup
01:06:37 <Nothing\> some youtube channel, one of those ones like wendover, put out a video on why afghanistan's geography makes it impervious to invasion
01:06:44 <coppice> Nothing
01:06:54 <Nothing\> i never actually watched the video but i'd imagine it has something to do with the mountains
01:07:06 <Nothing\> it's always mountains, or water
01:07:08 <Nothing\> or desert
01:07:20 <Nothing\> coppice, yo

01:07:30 <+electrohead> lmfao.
01:07:45 * electrohead passes coffee to coppice
01:07:57 <Nothing\> that reminds me, i should play civ iv some more
01:08:03 <Nothing\> i started a game last week i forgot about
01:08:11 <Nothing\> gotta take care of my hindu americans
01:08:16 <coppice> Nothing\: its not more or less dire than the reports. Its completely unrelated to the reports. e.g. find me an actual ghost city in China that isn't something cause up in the kind of legal wrangles than sink major real estate developments the world over
01:08:49 <Nothing\> coppice, frankly i'm not even 100% on the cause of the ghost cities
01:09:02 <Nothing\> i heard part of it was to artificially raise the GDP
01:09:27 <Nothing\> and the other part was to have 2nd homes bachelors could buy to make themselves more eligible, without actually using said second home
01:10:03 <Nothing\> because the way the dating/marriage scene is in china, you need at LEAST one property to be eligible, but the more eligibile bachelors have multiple properties
01:10:20 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
01:10:20 <Nothing\> even though they just leave their other properties to rot, it's purely a status symbol
01:10:23 <coppice> Nothing\: look at new towns in any country. it takes years to attract businesses and people, and fill them up. Most of the towns in the often repeated documentaries about ghost cities are now doing OK.
01:10:28 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera
01:10:54 <Nothing\> coppice, yeah but most new towns aren't built until the demand is there for people to live in it
01:11:02 <Nothing\> people come, then town comes
01:12:00 <Nothing\> the porn star cums
01:12:03 <Nothing\> *then
01:12:11 <coppice> Nothing\: the core of most new towns is built up front, and that's mostly what you see in China. Because of state involvement, they have the resources to build a bigger core up front than most developers. Also, China is so huge, they don't take you seriously unless you start big
01:12:25 <Nothing\> that's true
01:12:59 <coppice> The quality of the buildings is much more of an issue than whether there is a demand for them
01:14:15 <Nothing\> coppice, yeah even watching stuff about proposed failure mechanisms of the condo in florida made it clear that's not just a china problem
01:14:20 <Nothing\> but probably way more rampant
01:14:59 <Nothing\> using cheap grade cement that cracks and lets water into the rebar reenforcement, causing it to rust and expand, which cracks even more concrete and exposes even more rebar
01:15:08 <Nothing\> meanwhile the rebar's under tension
01:15:37 <Nothing\> just on account of how reenforced cement is made, it gets its strength from the constant tension
01:15:48 <Nothing\> thank you very much practical engineering
01:18:12 <coppice> A big problem for some older coastal developments was using saline water to make concrete.
01:20:00 <Nothing\> ewwww
01:20:07 <Nothing\> that's just begging for trouble
01:20:30 <Nothing\> you know, i've herad one big problem with all of the development in the UAE and that area is they literally steal sand from other countries
01:20:48 <Nothing\> because apparently beach sand has more rounded particles that are better suited to making concrete
01:21:18 <Nothing\> but it's silly on the surface of it, if you didn't know that, a country that's mostly desert being so desperate for sand that they have to steal it
01:22:22 <Nothing\> you know i always wondered if you went to a desert like the rub al khali, you know, a stereotypical desert, and just dug straight down, what you'd come across at the bottom
01:22:34 <Nothing\> probably just a lotta sandstone, maybe some fossils
01:22:45 <Nothing\> apparently there are lots of whale fossils under the sahara
01:22:56 <coppice> beach sand and desert sand make very bad concrete. beach sand especially, because of the salt content, but they are both rounded grains that don't bond well. The bigger stones used as aggregate in concrete need to be jagged for high strength. When they used rounded stones it more of a filler.
01:23:44 <Nothing\> coppice, well, salt isn't much of an issue for fresh water but i hadn't thought of that. I'd imagine fresh water beaches wouldn't be as easy to access from the sea
01:24:01 <Nothing\> you'd basically have to mine it there and ship it across land to a sea port
01:24:36 <Nothing\> i didn't think of beach sand as having a high salt content, but i suppose that's a no brainer when you actually think about it
01:24:58 <coppice> Nothing\: Fresh water beaches are usually deep in estuaries, and the sand has not worn to be rounded.
01:25:18 <Nothing\> ah interesting
01:25:23 <coppice> most sand pits seem to be near rivers.
01:25:26 <Nothing\> i've always wanted to learn more about hydrology
01:25:41 <Nothing\> coppice, probably at the bends, huh?
01:25:52 <Nothing\> that is, where the river bends
01:26:08 <Nothing\> i'd imagine the silt gets trapped along those bends
01:26:22 <Nothing\> and just builds up over time
01:27:02 <Nothing\> nice!
01:27:28 <Nothing\> i just found an actually paper book strategy guide for sim city 3000 that i have here
01:27:37 <Nothing\> and i just downloaded it the other week
01:27:44 <coppice> I'm not sure. When I was a kid they excavated seem beds of sand beside the River Lea in North London, where I come from. It was several metres deep of purr gritty sand. Those places were allowed to fill with water and become leisure area lakes
01:27:49 <Nothing\> i realized i haven't played it since sim city 4 came out
01:28:18 <Nothing\> coppice, that actually sounds kinda nice
01:28:34 <Nothing\> that's one thing i miss about living in waterloo (canada) is it had so much green space
01:28:39 <+electrohead> coppice: did you turn into a cat, mid-sentence?
01:28:59 <Nothing\> it was really 3 cities that had grown so big they became one gigantic tri-city, waterloo, kitchener and cambridge
01:30:15 <Nothing\> it's funny, i don't really think about it cuz it's pretty much the norm here, but i never realized how many cities here were named after cities in France and The UK
01:30:23 <Nothing\> like Windsor borders detroit
01:30:43 <Nothing\> or there's a Paris not far from here
01:30:55 <coppice> electrohead: when you dig that ancient sand up, the organic material in it really hums
01:30:57 <Nothing\> or north dumfries, i think that's english
01:30:59 <Nothing\> dumfries
01:31:10 <Nothing\> i have lancaster and middlesex counties
01:31:17 <+electrohead> coppice: lol
01:31:20 <Nothing\> and essex
01:31:34 <coppice> Windsor borders Staines
01:31:44 <Nothing\> heh
01:31:49 <Nothing\> detroit is a stain
01:32:03 <Nothing\> it's a big rust stain
01:32:27 <coppice> There's a Middlesex in North America? Someone ought to have thought about the meaning of that name
01:32:39 <Nothing\> i think it's funny how paul verhoven predicted that detroit would go bankrupt 30 years before the fact
01:32:59 <Nothing\> coppice, what is the meaning of it? i didn't think it was actually dirty
01:33:05 <Nothing\> i always thought it just sounded dirty
01:33:10 <Nothing\> like gropecunt lane
01:33:14 <coppice> Nothing\: didn't lots of people think that was a near certainty?
01:33:45 <Nothing\> lol probably did it for the lulz
01:33:48 <Nothing\> i know i would have

01:33:59 <coppice> Nothing\: Its Middle Saxony. We have Essex (East Saxony) and we used to have Wessex (West Saxony)
01:34:00 <Nothing\> heya arch
01:34:19 <Nothing\> coppice, actually i noticed that not too long ago
01:34:36 <Nothing\> when i was thinking about essex and sussex
01:34:39 <arch> repasting my question: soo this is from TI's MPPT solar reference design. what exactly is the purpose of this low side mosfet? seems pretty useless: https://i.imgur.com/Mxmb81Y.png
01:34:48 <arch> if the polarity is correct, it will conduct current (caps get charged); if the polarity is wrong...why the hell would the gate driver activate it
01:34:50 <Nothing\> we haven't got a wessex or... norsex? here
01:35:11 <arch> T3sl4, you around?
01:35:12 <coppice> I don't think there was ever a district named North Saxony
01:35:26 <Nothing\> yeah it doesn't sound right... norsex
01:35:33 <Nothing\> it just sounds like part of a sentence
01:35:45 <Nothing\> "i will not have any tea, nor sex"
01:36:06 <Nothing\> cuz tea and sex go together like pee and carrots
01:36:31 <coppice> don't drink tea during sex. You'll spill it
01:37:56 <Nothing\> interesting fact
01:38:08 <Nothing\> teasex succeeded sussex
01:38:39 <Nothing\> ugh there's no worse feeling than having a clump of pills stuck in yoru throat
01:38:46 <arch> it feels like that section could have been replaced with just a schottky diopde
01:38:48 <arch> diode*
01:38:50 <Nothing\> these gel caps just melt together into one giant mass
01:39:05 <Nothing\> what entire section?
01:39:10 <arch> to prevent back-flow into the solar panels, from the battery
01:39:14 <coppice> Nothing\: dunno. cramp pains are pretty brutal
01:40:53 <Nothing\> coppice, duuuude poop cramps are hands down the worst pain i've ever experienced i think
01:42:49 <Nothing\> worse than having a 4in knife in my leg, worse than 2nd/3rd degree burns all up and down my arm, worse than having a foley cath yanked out of my dick like the nurse was starting a fucking lawnmower, although that pain did completely disable my body. I just fell to the floor like a sack o' patatahs and all i could do was lie there with my pants around my ankles while my brain tried to comprehend the amount of negat
01:42:49 <Nothing\> just suddenly had to deal with
01:43:08 <Nothing\> i mean the catheter was more painful, but it only lasted a minute or so so it's lower on the list
01:43:56 <Nothing\> but poop cramps just cripple me in thta fashion, though to a lesser degree, send me into a cold sweat, suck my balls up into my stomach to protect them, the whole 9 yards
01:44:27 <Nothing\> i just had that yesterday, waiting for laxatives to work on a week long back up
01:44:55 <Nothing\> lotsa cramps and pain while it was moving its way through my bowels. But I tell you as soon as I passed it, instant fucking relief.
01:45:31 <Nothing\> actually you know i get problems with cramps so bad, i literally pray to give gratitude for every successful bowel movement i have
01:45:42 <Nothing\> just cuz i know how badly it can go awry
01:46:00 <Nothing\> i wonder if that's what period cramps feel like
01:46:26 <Nothing\> since i was a kid i always speculated that giving birth was like taking the biggest poop you've ever taken in your entire life
01:48:58 <coppice> It puzzles me how many women see it as a right of passage to go through that without medication
01:50:04 <Nothing\> with my ex it just happened so fast, they didn't even have time to set up an epidural
01:50:20 <Nothing\> they started the induction at 8am and she gave birth by 5pm
01:50:45 <Nothing\> she had to be induced cuz she had such a small body and the baby was getting so big, and was already almost a week overdue
01:51:05 <Nothing\> hell, they didn't numb her properly for the episiotomy
01:51:29 <Nothing\> which, that's all you have to say to anyone who tries to tell you that childbirth is a beautiful thing
01:52:13 <Nothing\> that and the point where they just put a bucket under her ass to catch all of the piss, shit, blood, amniotic fluid and other bits and liquids that came out of her
01:52:14 <coppice> The first time wifey work up at 4AM, telling me she needed to go to the hospital. Our daughter was born at about 10AM. I think the doctor used some oxytocin to smooth the whole thing alone, but no pain killers
01:52:43 <Nothing\> yeah, my ex had some nitrous for a bit before it was time to push but that was it
01:53:06 <Nothing\> and some gravol, aka dramamine, aka dimenhydrinate for nausea
01:53:16 <Nothing\> it goes by so many different names
01:53:45 <Nothing\> your wife got it pretty easy from the sounds of it though
01:53:53 <Nothing\> how far along was she?
01:55:13 <Nothing\> huh, apparently i was the last baby my old family doctor delivered
01:55:21 <Nothing\> before the job fell onto OB/GYNs
01:56:03 <Nothing\> did you hear that a chinese doctor's already made the first genetically modified humans?
01:56:21 <Nothing\> i think it was a resistance to HIV they were given, just as a sort of proof of concept i guess
01:56:32 <Nothing\> but a lot of people were pretty outraged by it
01:56:51 <Nothing\> cuz there's no telling what other effects messing with those genes would have
01:57:42 <Nothing\> gotta say though, the implications of crispr are pretty damn exciting
02:04:55 <Nothing\> oh yay
02:05:03 <Nothing\> we're having a federal election in september
02:05:35 <Nothing\> so now we can watch as our politicians try to exploit COVID-19 for their campaign
02:06:08 <Nothing\> but trudeau could (and probably will) be ousted by the end of it
02:13:19 <Nothing\> woo
02:13:45 <Nothing\> my mom agreed to split the cost of a 20tb harddrive with me
02:13:51 <Nothing\> 16-20tb
02:14:29 <Nothing\> i remember back when it took me the better part of 2 years to fill up a 1tb harddrive. Now I've filled up 2tb in less than 6 months
02:15:01 <Nothing\> and 90% of the stuff is stuff i'll probably never use. But my hoarding instincts won't let me get rid of them
02:15:39 <Nothing\> 450gb of games just in my steam folder lol
02:16:09 <Nothing\> what i need is some sort of utility that will show me at a glance which folders are using how much HD space
02:16:34 <Nothing\> there used to be one i used back in the day that worked great. I wish I could remember the name of it.
02:16:38 <Nothing\> windirstats?
02:23:59 <steve30> o/
02:36:36 <Nothing\> heya steve-o
02:36:46 <Nothing\> man, i just saw this plane flying by really low, so i looked it up
02:36:51 <Nothing\> look at its flight path
02:36:53 <Nothing\> https://flightaware.com/live/flight/CFOPJ
02:36:55 <EEVBot> [Title] - C-FOPJ Flight Tracking and History - FlightAware
02:36:58 <Nothing\> looks like it's searching for something
02:37:09 <Nothing\> and it's only flying at 390 meters/yards
02:38:55 <Nothing\> this is a really nifty site. It's gotten me into plane spotting
02:43:27 <Nothing\> man you guys are dead today
02:43:32 * Nothing\ goes back to playing new vegas
02:43:45 <Nothing\> NCR or Legion?
02:44:16 <Nothing\> every new playthrough i keep telling myself i'll try alligning with legion for once to see what it's like, but God help me I can't help but siding with the NCR
02:44:27 <Nothing\> even in video games i'm too nice! lol
02:45:35 <Nothing\> though you side with the legion and you lose boone and he works great with ed-e as a companion. You get high perception from ed-e and can spot enemies a mile away and boone's got his sniper rifle to take them all out.
02:45:51 <Nothing\> and yeah, i'm talking to myself, evidently
02:46:02 <Nothing\> big whoop, you wanna fight about it?
02:46:15 <+electrohead> Nothing\: from time to time, I take my hackRF PortaPack H2 outside with me, and track all aircraft above me
02:46:38 <+electrohead> usually have my phone with me, so that I can look up callsigns and tail numbers

05:52:24 <Ampera> fuck you
06:07:21 <+electrohead> no thanks.
06:08:50 <Ampera> electrohead, I wasn't asking
06:08:56 * Ampera looms over electrohead, drooling
06:09:14 <Ampera> Time to season you like a skillet....
06:10:09 <+electrohead> I probably taste bad :p
06:10:18 <+electrohead> just mowed the grass, cooling down a bit before I get a shower
06:10:48 <Ampera> you can mow my lawn any time
06:11:00 <+electrohead> that's what she said?
06:11:11 <Ampera> It's a pain in the ass, our mower is a plug in kind
06:11:26 <Ampera> so you gotta get a long big cable out and watch you don't slice it on anything
06:21:49 <+electrohead> ahh
06:21:54 <+electrohead> yeah I have a gas mower :p
06:39:05 <Erhard> My wife made us switch to an electric. Because running those small engines for one hour is like driving for 100 miles: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2001/05/010529234907.htm
06:39:24 <Erhard> They have no emissions, and are generally terrible for the planet.
06:39:38 <Erhard> BEst just not to plant grass that needs to be mowed, massive wa
06:39:42 <Erhard> massive waste even
06:54:53 <Ampera> fuck the planet
06:55:00 <Ampera> more pollution
06:55:04 <Ampera> more emissions
06:55:13 <Ampera> let's see if we can break the fuck over the world any%

08:28:28 <Halcyon> YAY!
08:28:28 <Halcyon> I'm doing alright
08:28:28 <Halcyon> How are you?
08:28:28 <Ampera> tired
08:28:28 <Ampera> sad
08:28:28 <Ampera> horny
08:28:28 <Halcyon> Horny for what?
08:28:28 <Halcyon> Steak?
08:28:28 <Halcyon> Mmmmm actually I want steak sandwich now
08:28:28 <Ampera> existentially horny
08:28:28 <Ampera> kinda like being existentially depressed, which I also am
08:28:28 <steve30> i just had sausages

10:46:03 <Nothing\> ah man
10:46:10 <Nothing\> i really need a good doctor
10:46:19 * Ampera hugs Nothing\
10:46:24 <Nothing\> my shoulder's been messed up for months and just keeps getting worse
10:46:25 <Ampera> you really need your head examined
10:46:29 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera
10:46:47 <Nothing\> Ampera, it's so stupid, no family doctors have been physically seeing any patients since covid
10:46:55 <Nothing\> they just do appointments over the phone
10:47:05 <Nothing\> how the hell is a doctor supposed to help somebody over the phone?
10:47:08 <Ampera> that sucks
10:47:15 <Ampera> how the hell is a doctor supposed to molest you over the phone
10:47:23 <Nothing\> like i have a suspecious mole on my leg that hasn't been looked at and just keeps getting bigger
10:47:38 <Nothing\> my shoulder's so screwed up, i can barely touch the small of my back
10:47:53 <Nothing\> nevermind actually reach behind me at all
10:48:09 <Nothing\> he just told me to take advil
10:48:18 <Nothing\> didn't even think about physio
10:48:41 <Nothing\> which im' pretty sure i need in order to restore motion to my shoulder
10:48:49 <Nothing\> plus it'd be nice not to be in pain anymore
10:49:29 <Nothing\> but today for some reason the pain's been constant. Usually it just comes and goes but it's just been relentless for some reason
10:49:35 <Ampera> you mentioning mole reminded me of a cartoon I saw when I was a kid
10:49:39 <Ampera> Der kleine Maulwurf
10:50:10 <Nothing\> lol
10:50:37 <Ampera> apparently it was czech in origin, called krtek
10:50:39 <Ampera> I never knew that
10:50:55 <Ampera> I always called it simply Maulwurf
10:50:57 <Nothing\> europe had some weird cartoons
10:51:01 <Nothing\> like smurfs
10:51:07 <Ampera> nothing weird about it
10:51:12 <Ampera> was a cute little mole
10:51:48 <Nothing\> i'm thinking maybe i should go to the ER if it gets too bad
10:52:02 <Nothing\> tell them i'm having pain in my left shoulder that radiates down my arm
10:52:07 <Nothing\> cuz that IS how it feels
10:52:11 <Nothing\> lol
10:52:18 <Ampera> maybe you're turning into a lesbian
10:52:22 <Ampera> these are common signs
10:52:22 <Nothing\> it'd certainly get me to the front of the line in triage
10:53:04 <Nothing\> i would think a common sign would be having that little flappy thing under your tongue all cut up from eating puss too much
10:53:21 <Ampera> wha
10:53:28 <Nothing\> it really happens
10:53:32 <Halcyon> Morning
10:53:38 <Nothing\> hey Halcyon
10:53:43 <Nothing\> how you doing
10:53:46 <steve30> hi Halcyon
10:53:51 <Ampera> hey Halcyon, you eat pussy all the time, does the underneath of your tongue ever get cut up?
10:53:55 <Halcyon> Goot thanks Nothing\ how are you?
10:54:05 <Nothing\> pretty good, thanks
10:54:06 <Halcyon> What the
10:54:07 <Halcyon> ?
10:54:23 <Erhard> I get blisters on my upper lip
10:54:33 <Halcyon> You lot are gross
10:54:59 <Nothing\> Ampera, yeah you're sticking your tongue out far and as you're moving it around your bottom teeth cut up the bottom. Especially the flapy bit.
10:55:02 <Halcyon> SUCH a gorgeous day here. Going to be 24 degrees.
10:55:11 <Erhard> Ouch
10:55:13 <Nothing\> that's a good temperature
10:55:34 <Erhard> Yes, temp is good
10:55:39 <Erhard> I prefer 20, but hey
10:55:45 <Nothing\> my lips would go numb if i made out for too long
10:55:45 <Ampera> 20 is a nice temperature
10:55:50 <Ampera> glad we're gonna get more of that in winter
10:55:56 <steve30> I've had a headache today, but its getting better
10:55:57 <Ampera> it's been quit humid out recently
10:55:58 <Nothing\> they'd go all numb and tingly for some reason
10:56:07 <Nothing\> steve30, you drink coffee?
10:56:09 <Ampera> it's currently 78 out
10:56:12 <steve30> yes
10:56:14 <Ampera> 76% humidity
10:56:27 <Nothing\> steve30, have you had your usual amount today?
10:56:35 <Halcyon> Might have to convert from proper units to degrees F for Ampera :P
10:56:36 <steve30> yes
10:56:44 <Nothing\> well there goesthat idea
10:56:55 <steve30> food + coffee usually helps
10:57:02 <Nothing\> i'll just be like every other doctor i've seen
10:57:06 <Nothing\> steve30,
10:57:08 <Nothing\> it's stress
10:57:12 <Nothing\> lol
10:57:23 <Halcyon> Also I'm going to experiment today moving one of my 2.4 GHz Wifi networks over to Channel 13, since no one uses it and Bluetooth fucking sucks in this house.
10:57:28 <Ampera> There goes Halcyon, getting mad that foreigners have their own customs :P
10:57:39 <Ampera> bluetooth sucks in more than just your house
10:57:45 <Nothing\> that's like the blanket diagnosis they give you here if they don't know. Especially for stuff like headaches.
10:58:02 <Halcyon> Ampera: Don't get mad at me https://i.imgur.com/3ZidINK.png
10:58:15 <Nothing\> instead of saying "i don't know" or referring you to someone else they'll just say it's stress
10:58:36 <Halcyon> Ampera, it used to work quite well until I enabled 2.4 GHz on a second access point (on a different channel)
10:58:51 <Ampera> my simple solution to bluetooth not working well is to not use bluetooth
10:58:57 <Ampera> it's surprisingly effective
10:59:04 <Halcyon> Bit hard when I use a Bluetooth speaker
10:59:29 <Halcyon> I want to use Channel 14 but I can't :(
10:59:34 <Halcyon> I wish I were in Japan
10:59:59 <Ampera> what was that about standards again?
10:59:59 <Ampera> :P
11:00:08 <Halcyon> Which bit?
11:00:17 <Ampera> "I wish I were in Japan"
11:00:18 <Ampera> :P
11:00:30 <Halcyon> Yes, they get an extra 2.4 GHz channel to use
11:00:36 <Halcyon> We have 1-13
11:00:54 <steve30> Nothing\, I haven't slept very well this last few days. I slept OK last night but I might have slept in a funny position, causing a headache
11:01:13 <Halcyon> And it doesn't help that across the road have their stupid router set to use up 40 MHz
11:02:06 <Nothing\> ah that sucks
11:02:52 <Halcyon> I only use 2.4 GHz for telemetry/telecommand anyway, since most IoT type devices don't have 5 GHz radios in them
11:03:08 <Ampera> That's interesting
11:03:46 <Ampera> The Rankine scale, which is an absolute scale, akin to Kelvin, but with the scale of Fahrenheit instead of Celsius, is officially called "degrees Rankine"
11:03:54 <Ampera> whereas Kelvin is treated as a standard unit
11:04:12 <Halcyon> I mean I *could* just set my wireless controller to Japan and transmit on Ch 14 anyway, but that would be naughty
11:17:52 * steve30 paws at Halcyon
