00:00:04 <Nothing\> you use them for addressing memory addresses larger than 8 bits, it adds the register values together into the 16 bit address register to get the effective address
00:00:53 <Nothing\> or even worse was trying to figure out an algorithm to add two 16 bit numbers on a 6502
00:01:07 <Nothing\> without any 16 bit registers
00:01:38 <Nothing\> well i mean technically the address register was 16 bits, but really it was just 2 8 bit registers treated as a single register like the 8086 does
00:02:12 <Nothing\> like the accumulator on the 8086 is AX, divided into AL for the least significant bits and AH for the most significant
00:02:25 <Nothing\> and that's how they all are
00:02:35 <Nothing\> so it makes me question whether the 8086 was truly 16 bits
00:03:14 <Nothing\> it seems just like the atari jaguar using two 32 bit CPUs and calling it a 64 bit system
00:03:50 <Ampera> oh good god it's already halfway through the workday
00:03:51 <Nothing\> especially when the programming was so difficult, most developers only used one cpu, which is why half the games don't look any more impressive than something on the snes
00:03:54 <Ampera> this week has been complete ass
00:04:00 <Nothing\> Ampera, we call that hump day up here
00:04:10 <Ampera> no, half way through the work /day/
00:04:14 <Ampera> as in, 4 hours left to go
00:04:17 <Nothing\> cuz it's like the hump of the stress curve for the week
00:04:26 <Nothing\> ah i see
00:04:30 <Ampera> that makes no sense
00:04:32 <Nothing\> so, hump moment?
00:04:34 <Ampera> presumably friday should be hump day
00:04:41 <Nothing\> Ampera, yeah that's true
00:04:45 <Ampera> my stress doesn't go down because there's less time to the weekend
00:04:47 <Nothing\> huh i never thought of it like that
00:04:49 <Ampera> it goes down once it is the weekend
00:04:56 <Nothing\> well tbh i dunno if it's stress or what metric they use
00:05:07 <Nothing\> i always assumed it was stress or just unpleasant work induced tension in general
00:05:14 <Nothing\> or fatigue
00:05:48 <Nothing\> ah mathematica has finally installed
00:06:07 <Nothing\> now i will have near infinite precision on my calculations! mwahahaha
00:06:48 <Nothing\> actually i don't think i ever did hit a limit on mathematica's precision before it became too much for my CPU to handle
00:06:56 <Nothing\> which says a lot for the size of the numbers i was using
00:07:28 <Nothing\> i'd do like 1000 factorial and have to sit there for a minute or so waiting for it to work it out
00:08:02 <Nothing\> hey, speaking of math Ampera
00:08:21 <Nothing\> i've been trying for months to figure out what the symbol is for the operation "prime" at least that's what i think it's called
00:08:31 Quit: Guest69 ([email protected]) Quit: My MacBook has gone to sleep. ZZZzzz…
00:08:32 <Ampera> the prime operation?
00:08:46 <Nothing\> where it's basically factorial, but with addition, so 10 prime would be 1+2+3+4... +10
00:08:48 <Nothing\> yeha
00:09:10 <Nothing\> i can't remember the symbol for it and i can't seem to look it up anywhere cuz it's such a vague term
00:09:35 <Nothing\> tbh i'm starting to wonder if it even exists or if i just imagined it
00:09:47 <Nothing\> especially since sigma notation makes it redundant
00:10:40 <Nothing\> all i get is stuff on prime numbers
00:11:33 <Nothing\> anyways, you wanna know something crazy Ampera?
00:11:37 <Ampera> no
00:11:47 <Nothing\> i found the most unlikely pain reliever ever
00:12:06 <Ampera> depression?
00:12:23 <Nothing\> myshoulder's been messed up for months, and for unrelated matters i've been taking these robitussin cough gels cuz i cough so damn much when i'm trying to sleep
00:12:32 <Nothing\> and i noticed whenever i take them, my shoulder stops hurting entirely
00:12:41 <Nothing\> normally i can only rotate it about 120 degrees
00:12:56 <Nothing\> but with these, i regained almost the full range of motion
00:12:56 <Ampera> afaik those are basically lidocaine infused hard candies
00:13:03 <Ampera> why it'd help your shoulder is weird though
00:13:06 <Nothing\> lol no not those ones
00:13:13 <Nothing\> these actually have dextromethorphan in them
00:14:16 <Nothing\> my theory is, the way dextromethorphan works is as an nmda antagonist (meaningless, i know) and i've read papers on how combining nmda antagonists with opioids can greatly enhance the painkilling abilities of the opioids with neuropathic pain
00:14:36 <Nothing\> but while not increasing sedation or intoxication or any of that
00:15:15 <Nothing\> and even though this isn't neuropathic pain, that certainly seems like the most likely reason simple cough medicine would be such an effective pain reliever
00:15:17 <Ampera> does it increase sedition?
00:15:23 <Nothing\> lol
00:15:29 <Ampera> do you now have the urge to overthrow the government?
00:15:33 <Ampera> if so, I'll buy your entire stock
00:15:37 <Nothing\> actually you know what
00:15:59 <Nothing\> back in the 60's, there was a brand called romilar that hippies apparently used to get high on
00:16:14 <Nothing\> so apparently, yeah. It will make you want to overthrow the government.
00:16:17 <Nothing\> haha
00:17:12 Quit: Nothing\ (~Shmendrick@cpe9050ca20a183-cm9050ca20a180.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) EOF from client
00:17:15 <Ampera> I think I might buy an ozone generator
00:17:30 <Ampera> I'm starting to wonder if my allergic reaction may have been triggered by black mold, since we have a minor problem with it in the bathroom
00:26:35 Join: Nothing\ (~Shmendrick@cpe9050ca20a183-cm9050ca20a180.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) to #EEVblog
00:26:37 <Nothing\> well that's great
00:26:45 <Nothing\> i restart to finalize my install of mathematica
00:26:52 <Nothing\> now i find something's disabled taskmanager
00:27:00 <Nothing\> so i installed an alternative and found the culprit
00:27:03 <Nothing\> NOPE
00:27:07 <Nothing\> permission denied
00:27:13 <Nothing\> run as admin, still no dice
00:27:33 <Nothing\> task manager doesn't even show up when i open the ctrl+alt+del menu
00:27:44 <Nothing\> meanwhile i can hear mining software maxing out my cpu and gpu
00:28:11 <Ampera> this is what happens when you don't take the time to fire and salt
00:28:23 <Nothing\> so it looks like next step is to update windows as much as possible and run bit defender. Since I JUST ran AVG no more than 3 days ago and it didn't find a thing
00:28:25 <Ampera> nuke from orbit, restore from backups
00:28:42 <Nothing\> i think i got it from my mom's phone
00:28:45 <Ampera> Nothing\, once you fuck a Windows system you don't unfuck it
00:28:50 <Ampera> I doubt it
00:28:51 <Nothing\> yeah?
00:28:56 <Nothing\> le sigh
00:29:05 <Nothing\> alright, so how do i go about reinstalling with no disc
00:29:23 <Ampera> do you have a second machine?
00:29:27 <Nothing\> nope
00:29:28 <Ampera> rufus a copy of windows onto a flash drive
00:29:38 <Ampera> that being said
00:29:44 * electrohead throws dd at Ampera and Nothing\
00:29:54 <Ampera> electrohead, you can't dd windows images onto flash drives
00:29:55 <Nothing\> isn't there a way to do it without needing a physical copy?
00:30:14 <Ampera> the images they provide are el-torito only, they aren't dd friendly like most linux distros
00:30:18 <Ampera> Nothing\, no
00:30:25 <Nothing\> fuck
00:30:31 <Nothing\> so i've got a $2500 brick
00:30:33 <Nothing\> lovely
00:30:40 <Nothing\> it's just one fucking thing after another
00:30:42 <Ampera> well don't go installing random shit
00:30:45 <Nothing\> first the phone
00:31:01 <Nothing\> then the tablet, broken right out of the box
00:31:01 <Ampera> I haven't broken a windows install with a virus since I was maybe 10 or 12
00:31:11 <Nothing\> i don't install random shit
00:31:19 <Nothing\> i install the same shit i always use
00:31:19 <Ampera> it didn't just come from nowhere
00:31:25 <Nothing\> probably web browsing
00:31:29 <Nothing\> or not having windows updated
00:31:45 <Ampera> That's really only a problem if you're using an old or insecure browser
00:31:50 <Ampera> most browsers have sandboxing to prevent exactly that
00:32:07 <Ampera> not updating windows is also an option
00:34:50 <Nothing\> well that wasn't the issue
00:34:56 <Nothing\> i had chrome, always up to to date
00:35:13 <Nothing\> but yeah i think not updating windows was my downfall
00:35:17 <Nothing\> really i didn't even think about it
00:35:33 <Nothing\> i dunno why it didn't at least have something to remind me. Usually windows is really pushy about updates.
00:35:41 <Nothing\> to have no notifications at all is just bizarre
00:35:54 <Nothing\> lol yeah it won't even update
00:35:59 <Nothing\> fuuuuuck
00:36:06 <Ampera> Windows is also just stupid easy to bone
00:36:15 <Nothing\> i have a copy of windows, but it's on a disc
00:36:30 <Nothing\> and this stupid thing doesn't have any optical drives, or even slots to put ANY drives in
00:36:32 <Ampera> There's a reason even the stoutest of Windows server users are trying to move away from it
00:36:46 <Ampera> why do you need a disc
00:36:48 <Ampera> USB sticks
00:36:56 <Nothing\> well i've gotta get windows onto the stick somehow
00:37:04 <Ampera> downloading an ISO
00:37:07 <Nothing\> maybe i could go to the library
00:37:09 <Ampera> use rufus
00:37:15 <Nothing\> wtf is rufus?
00:37:22 <Nothing\> is that like nero?
00:37:26 <Ampera> rufus is a utility which allows putting a Windows ISO onto a flash drive
00:37:27 <Ampera> no
00:37:30 <Nothing\> jeez that question made me feel old
00:37:30 <Ampera> get out of the past maaaan
00:37:34 <Nothing\> lol
00:37:39 <Ampera> optical media has been dead for at least 10 years
00:37:46 <Nothing\> tbh i have alcohol 92% installed on here
00:37:58 <Ampera> I think I use xfburn
00:38:05 <Ampera> though I think that's Unix only
00:38:15 <Nothing\> Ampera, yeah but this is the first computer i've had that's supported installing windows from usb
00:38:22 <Nothing\> first computer with a UEFI
00:38:31 <Nothing\> so i never had any reason for it before
00:38:46 <Nothing\> but yeah i guess i could dl an iso and try that way. If i can find an ISO.
00:38:46 <Ampera> I have computers from 2004 that can boot from USB
00:38:51 <Nothing\> that seems kind of hit or miss
00:38:58 <Nothing\> yeah i know they've been around a while
00:39:20 <Ampera> https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO
00:39:22 <EEVBot> [Title] - Download Windows 10 Disc Image (ISO File)
00:39:25 <Ampera> you can download them straight from Microsoft
00:39:51 <Ampera> One option is to download rufus and the ISO, go into safe mode, and then use it
00:39:53 Join: TheDude ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
00:40:00 <Ampera> with that you at least have the best chance of not infecting the stick
00:40:01 <Nothing\> this torrent sounds good
00:40:14 <Nothing\> ms windows 10 home and pro x64 clean iso
00:40:22 <Ampera> do you have lead for brains?
00:40:26 <Nothing\> from first uploads. 684 seeders.
00:40:32 <Ampera> full on tinsel eater :P
00:40:37 <Nothing\> well what would you recommend?
00:40:46 <Ampera> DOWNLOADING IT FROM MICROSOFT
00:40:48 <Ampera> WITH THE LINK I GAVE YOU
00:40:51 * Ampera smacks Nothing\
00:40:56 <Nothing\> sorry, didn't see that
00:41:05 <Nothing\> so what microsoft's just offering it for free now?
00:41:06 <Ampera> If you've already activated on your machine, you shouldn't need a key
00:41:09 <Nothing\> ah
00:41:15 <Nothing\> that's good to know
00:41:26 <Ampera> their activation service is usually smart enough to pick up on a previous instance, even if you purge and reinstall
00:41:36 <Nothing\> outstanding
00:41:45 <Nothing\> for once i'm actually impressed with their forward thinking
00:41:52 <Ampera> hardly
00:41:55 <Nothing\> alright let's start this now
00:41:58 <Ampera> Linux hasn't needed activation at all since
00:41:59 <Ampera> er,
00:42:00 <Nothing\> so first step, install rufus
00:42:00 <Ampera> 1991
00:42:09 <Ampera> don't install
00:42:11 <Ampera> just get the portable
00:42:15 <Nothing\> okay
00:42:20 <Nothing\> well i can do that while windows DLs
00:42:31 <Nothing\> then i may or may not need some more help
00:42:39 <Nothing\> but let it be known, i deeply appreciate this
00:42:45 <Nothing\> you're really saving my ass here
00:43:10 <Ampera> it wouldn't be the first windows system I've unfucked, and it won't be the last
00:43:21 <Nothing\> plus i know how hard it is on one's patience to do any sort of troubleshooting. Especially for somebody else when you're not even there
00:43:32 <Nothing\> i dig your confidence man
00:43:36 <Nothing\> flaunt it like you got it
00:43:50 <Ampera> in other news I have just ordered a UV-C lamp
00:44:02 <Nothing\> oh yeah? to what end?
00:44:04 <Ampera> hoping it has the driver inside it, otherwise it's gonna pop when I plug it in
00:44:13 <Nothing\> i hope you plan on being safe with it
00:44:18 <Ampera> I want something to help deal with a black mold problem in the bathroom
00:44:19 <Nothing\> but i would expect no less from you
00:44:26 <Nothing\> ah, that'd be perfect
00:44:34 * T3sl4 ozonates Ampera
00:44:34 <Ampera> I intend to make sure people not to go in there while it's on
00:44:39 <Nothing\> even if it's not in direct contact, the ozone generated would help
00:44:55 <Nothing\> although i'm not sure ozone being generated in an enclosed space that you'd be sitting in would be too great for you
00:44:57 <Ampera> I thought about getting an ozone generator, but those are expensive, and even though the UV-C lamps generate ozone, I'd prefer not having tons of it all over the place
00:45:14 <Ampera> Nothing\, I don't plan to be on the toilet all day, don't worry
00:45:24 <Ampera> there's also a ventilation fan in there since it's, well, a bathroom
00:45:29 <Nothing\> yeha but you've gotta think, over time the damage will accumulate
00:45:32 <Ampera> a window too
00:45:44 <Ampera> I don't plan to run it all the time
00:45:52 <Nothing\> yeah but i dunno how old your house is, but i've yet to have a house with adequate ventilation for the bathroom
00:45:52 <Ampera> simply to see if it can help get rid of the mold
00:46:04 <Nothing\> yeah like run it while you sleep or something
00:46:22 <Nothing\> hell you could probably set up a timer connected to a relay to automate it
00:46:27 <Ampera> I also don't expect that UV-C lamp to generate a /lot/ of ozone. I more intend for the UV itself to sterilize
00:46:41 <Nothing\> most likely not, but ozone's still nasty stuff
00:46:47 <Ampera> the ozone is also less dangerous than the UV-C itself
00:46:49 <Nothing\> heh you wanna know something funny
00:46:52 <Ampera> as you can destroy your eyes just looking at it
00:46:53 <Ampera> no
00:46:56 <Nothing\> the way i know what ozone smells like
00:47:09 <Ampera> why ask if you're gonna tell me anyways
00:47:20 <Nothing\> when i was a kid, i used to literally press my nose right up against the TV (CRT) to see the little pixels and cuz it looked neat
00:47:32 <Nothing\> and any time i did, i could always smell the ozone coming off of it
00:47:41 <Nothing\> it's a really hard smell to describe
00:47:49 <Ampera> I've smelled ozone before
00:47:54 <Nothing\> like a sharp, metallic, almost electric smell
00:47:57 <Nothing\> i dunno
00:48:03 <Nothing\> how would you describe it?
00:48:06 <Nothing\> kinda sweet
00:48:10 <Nothing\> but not in a pleasant way
00:48:16 <Ampera> that's because when stuff gets zippy zappy sparky it typically generates ozone
00:48:26 <Ampera> I'd describe it like sharp bleach, but with less of a base to the smell
00:48:29 <Nothing\> definitely metallic and astringent
00:48:40 <Nothing\> i guess it depends on the concentrations too
00:48:41 <Ampera> Metallic smell is sort of an oxymoron, since metals do not smell
00:48:47 <Nothing\> indeed
00:48:53 <Ampera> I also do not have a good sense of smell
00:49:08 <Nothing\> me neither, thanks to 25 years of smoking cigarettes and pot
00:49:36 <Ampera> I have a typically congested nose with poor airflow, so I don't get a lot to my olfactory
00:49:44 <Nothing\> one thing they rarely tell you is smoking decreases your sense of taste and smell. So smokers tend to use more spices in their food
00:49:46 <Ampera> my actual sense of smell isn't bad, I'm just not good at passing air through the receptors
00:49:55 <Nothing\> ah that sucks man
00:49:57 <Ampera> I spice my food to death
00:50:01 <Nothing\> i hope you haven't relied on nasal sprays
00:50:09 <Ampera> nope
00:50:14 <Ampera> I really don't take medicine that much
00:50:15 <Nothing\> good, cuz they'll make it worse
00:50:22 <Ampera> nasal sprays also don't help
00:50:28 <Ampera> they make no real difference
00:50:35 <Nothing\> deviated septum maybe?
00:50:52 <Ampera> I went to an ENT once and he told me there was nothing wrong and I'm totally fine.
00:50:54 <Ampera> He is now dead.
00:50:56 <Nothing\> if decongestant nasal sprays don't work, it sounds like the problem's more mechanical
00:51:08 <Nothing\> cuz honestly, those things should have it clear as a bell within minutes
00:51:12 <Nothing\> it's like draino for your nose
00:51:28 <Nothing\> well as long as you can live with the congestion
00:51:40 <Ampera> I've lived with it this far
00:51:42 <Nothing\> when i was a kid, my dad got me hooked on decongestant nasal sprays
00:51:52 <Nothing\> cuz you use them, and the congestion gets worse when they wear off
00:52:10 <Nothing\> so i fell into a cycle, not realizing it, after my dad had me use it when i had a cold or something
00:52:17 <Nothing\> that was when i was 14 or 15
00:52:24 <Nothing\> i've used it several times a day since then
00:52:43 <Nothing\> dunno if i told you about it, but it's why i have a hole between my nostrils
00:53:04 <Nothing\> it constricts blood vessels, so any injury you get from say, aggressive picking, isn't able to heal properly
00:53:25 <Nothing\> and it dries out the tissue and makes it all crusty so it just feels uncomfortable unless you pick it off
00:53:46 <Nothing\> and i just picked and picked and picked over time until i picked clear through to the other side
00:54:16 <Nothing\> i still remember the night that happened. My nose bled so hard it filled the bottom of the sink with a huge gelatenous mass of congealed blood
00:54:23 <Nothing\> it looked like a liver
00:54:50 <Nothing\> thing is too, i've known probably a half a dozen people at least who have also had similar problems with nasal sprays
00:55:19 <Nothing\> including my brother and father, and some friends on irc
00:55:54 <Nothing\> hrm Ampera
00:55:58 <Nothing\> that link you gave me
00:56:19 <Nothing\> all it has is an option to either update windows, or... ohhh okay i see now
00:56:25 <Nothing\> "create windows 10 installation media"
00:56:35 <Ampera> huh
00:56:44 <Ampera> I think I recall that microsoft has their own tool now
00:56:52 <Ampera> I don't use that link, I get my copies off my MSDN subscription
00:56:52 <Nothing\> yeah so maybe i have dl that
00:57:09 <Nothing\> but with updates cancelled, i may not be able to download it if it uses sytem updates to download it
00:57:19 <Nothing\> actually you know what
00:57:39 <Nothing\> i have the HDD from my old computer in this one, and i left all of the windows and boot files intact
00:58:20 <Nothing\> so i should be able to just pop this HDD into my old computer and use that to dl rufus, or dl rufus on here and put it on a flash drive, and then just make my windows USB drive on that computer
00:58:34 <Nothing\> bit of a pain in the ass, but not as much as if i didn't do it
01:04:50 <Nothing\> i think for today i'm just gonna say fuggit and let the bitcoin miner babies have their bottle
01:05:22 <Nothing\> but yeah, if i throw the old HD into my old computer, i could make a USB drive with windows
01:05:37 <Nothing\> while still having this one in a functional state
01:06:11 <Nothing\> and my mom agreed to get an external HD so we can back our stuff up
01:06:28 <Nothing\> probably a 14 or 16tb i'm thinking
01:06:47 <Nothing\> something that'll last a good long time. I'm just worried about the transfer speeds over USB 3.0
01:07:19 <Nothing\> i've only ever used 2.0 until recently, but i've had nothing but issues with USB speed in the past. Especialy for file transfers
01:10:20 <Nothing\> Ampera, oh cool you can use this tool from microsoft to create your usb installation drive
01:10:26 <Nothing\> so i don't even need rufus, it seems
01:10:34 <Ampera> I guess
01:10:59 <Nothing\> if i'm lucky it'll let me just dl an image directly to a usb drive
01:11:22 <Nothing\> or put the image into the drive from my computer, is what i mean
01:18:25 <Nothing\> alright Ampera making a USB drive to install from
01:18:54 <Nothing\> thanks again for your advice. I never woulda found this tool if you didn't give me that link. Then shove my face in it when i unconsciously ignored it
01:19:01 <Nothing\> *shoved
01:19:32 <Ampera> Nothing\, just saying, going "oooh, this torrent looks like it'd work" is a bad idea
01:19:35 <Nothing\> sorry i had to frustrate you
01:19:36 <Ampera> and is exactly how you get these sorts of viruses
01:19:45 <Ampera> I'm not frustrated, I just enjoy being a dick
01:19:52 <Nothing\> i see
01:20:31 <Nothing\> i just feel like one of those old grannies asking for her younger, more tech savvy grandson to help her out because her "internet won't work"
01:20:47 <Ampera> no, my grandfather is much worse than you
01:20:51 <Nothing\> which working tech support for 2 different ISP's i kno all too well
01:21:06 <Nothing\> MSN, back when they had dialup service
01:21:10 <Ampera> so you're the reason why ISP tech support is so bad
01:21:16 <Nothing\> literally back when you were a baby
01:21:20 <Nothing\> 2003
01:21:33 <Ampera> back when?
01:21:34 <Nothing\> then i worked for comcast in like 2007
01:21:36 <Ampera> MSN still provides internet
01:21:39 <Ampera> over dial up
01:21:43 <Nothing\> really?
01:21:46 <Nothing\> huh
01:22:08 <Nothing\> guess they need something for rural customers who don't wanna pay out the ass for starlink when it's not even up to 100% capacity yet
01:23:05 <Nothing\> i remember when i was in a long distance relationship with my exwife. All we had in those days was dialup internet and her family was too cheap to get it.
01:23:07 <Ampera> T-Mobile has just emailed me an invoice for 0.00$
01:23:11 <Nothing\> classic country bumpkins
01:23:17 <Nothing\> Ampera, weird
01:23:27 <Ampera> amusing, but not weird
01:23:40 <Ampera> it's a SIM card, so I don't have to pay for it
01:23:57 <Nothing\> you know, the conservative party here had this campaign drive they recently did where they'd mail people something that looks like an invoice for $3 saying "pay immediately" or some crap like that
01:24:12 <Nothing\> then in microscopic print at the bottom it says it's for a donation for their campaign
01:24:32 <Nothing\> meanwhile it has INVOICE printed in big, menacing, red letters across the thing
01:25:01 <Nothing\> reminded me of what trump did
01:25:16 <Nothing\> where people would pledge say, a few hundred bucks to his campaign
01:25:29 <Nothing\> then they'd have another few hundred taken out a few days later
01:25:31 <Nothing\> and again
01:25:40 <Ampera> Did I ever tell you about that time I took a ferry down to shelbyville?
01:25:44 <Ampera> Well I had an onion on my belt
01:25:45 <Nothing\> until their bank accounts were empty. savings all gone to Trump.
01:25:51 <Ampera> you see it was the style at the time
01:25:53 <T3sl4> i hope you picked up some lemonade
01:26:06 <Ampera> anyways, I was taking the ferry down to shelbyville
01:26:10 <Nothing\> Ampera, back then nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them
01:26:19 <Nothing\> gimme 5 bees for a quarter, you'd say.
01:26:22 <Ampera> oh good you remember the story
01:26:29 <Ampera> now I don't have to bore you with the unending details
01:26:30 <Nothing\> how could i forget?
01:26:38 <Ampera> that was easy
01:27:05 * Ampera vomits on the floor to indicate subtlety
01:27:24 <Nothing\> ah shit
01:27:38 <Nothing\> i should 3 hole punch this 8086 tutorial and throw it in a binder
01:27:50 <T3sl4> Ampera: you're assuming Nothing\ understands satire
01:27:53 * Ampera three hole punches Nothing\ and then throws him in the trash
01:27:57 <Nothing\> such a pain in the ass only being able to punch like 5-8 pages at a times when i'm doing several hundred
01:28:00 <Ampera> T3sl4, if he doesn't, then it becomes parody
01:28:15 <Nothing\> T3sl4, yeah i have a bad habit of taking everything i hear and say too literally
01:28:22 <Ampera> I hate you.
01:28:42 <Nothing\> Ampera, aw you really DO love me
01:28:58 <Nothing\> man, i should get MIPS simulator
01:28:59 * Ampera vomits, this time to indicate appreciation
01:29:08 <Nothing\> there was a really nice one, again just for linux that i wish i had
01:29:12 <Nothing\> i think it was called SPIM
01:29:12 * Ampera throws a bunny at Nothing\
01:29:31 * Nothing\ opens his gullet and swallows the bunny whole
01:29:44 <Ampera> your gullet?
01:29:46 <Nothing\> cone snail style
01:30:00 <Nothing\> gullet, slang for stomach
01:30:05 <Ampera> no it's not
01:30:07 <Nothing\> or maybe maouth? i dunno
01:30:19 <Ampera> gullet == esophagus
01:30:21 <Nothing\> yeah it is
01:30:30 * electrohead pours lemonade over T3sl4 and dances
01:30:30 <Nothing\> you're just a drunk ass sexual chocolate
01:30:38 <Nothing\> *broke ass
01:30:40 <Nothing\> not drunk ass
01:30:43 * Ampera dances on electrohead's still living corpse
01:30:53 <Ampera> you're drunk ass :P
01:30:59 * T3sl4 sticks electrometer probes into electrohead
01:30:59 <electrohead> No you're a towel
01:31:05 <electrohead> \o/
01:31:09 <electrohead> Sounds like a fun time
01:31:10 * Ampera wraps himself around electrohead's head

01:31:38 <Ampera> I wonder if electrocuting gays cures homosexuality, if you could measure a negative potential across homosexuals
01:31:40 <Ampera> HRMMMMM
01:31:43 <Nothing\> huh it's already done making my flash drive apparently
01:31:46 <Nothing\> that didn't take long
01:32:24 <Nothing\> now i've just gotta get an external drive to back up all of my games and shit to
01:32:26 <T3sl4> Ampera: enough electrocution will even cure you of what you suffer
01:32:35 <Nothing\> figure out where my saved games are and back those up
01:32:39 <Ampera> T3sl4, sounds hot
01:32:46 * T3sl4 zzzzaps Ampera
01:33:08 <Nothing\> like hell i'm spending another 60 hours to get back to where i was in new vegas after the last few weeks
01:33:22 * electrohead offers his freshly bald head to be rubbed

01:35:56 <electrohead> lol
01:36:01 * T3sl4 purrs
01:36:11 * Lord_of_nothing is just confused
01:36:44 <Lord_of_nothing> hey does youtube have a different design?
01:36:50 <Lord_of_nothing> it look different for me now
01:37:02 <steve30> Lord_of_nothing, they got new icons
01:37:08 <steve30> Ampera, try it out on Halcyon
01:37:17 <Lord_of_nothing> yes its different but why?
01:37:30 <steve30> because they like to change things?
01:37:35 <Ampera> steve30, Halcyon's a short straight to ground
01:38:34 <steve30> try T3sl4 then
01:39:02 <electrohead> I didn't know T3sl4 was gay
01:39:17 * electrohead runs
01:39:21 <steve30> electrohead, T3sl4 is of ambiguous sexuality
01:39:23 <Lord_of_nothing> if he is happy with why not?
01:39:58 * electrohead shakes it for T3sl4
01:40:04 <electrohead> and I'm straight, so that's saing a lot, lol
01:40:10 <electrohead> saying*
01:40:32 <T3sl4> nah, i'm straight, Halcyon just loves being teased
01:41:14 <electrohead> T3sl4: we should hook up
01:41:19 <electrohead> make a date night :p
01:41:41 <electrohead> two straight men doesn't make anything gay, so we're in the clear

12:27:05 <Nothing\> and it wasn't from my hand because it was when i tocuhed it with my hand thta i noticed it was warm
12:27:05 <Nothing\> doesn'nt something dissolving into solution release heat?
12:27:05 <Nothing\> i was thinknig though, along the same lines to get my even covetde calcium carbonate i could proabbly dissolve crushed up egg shells in vinegar, then boil off the vinegar and again be left with pure calcium carbonate afaik
12:27:05 <DHess_US> Dissolving something in water is usually exothermic, like acids, but is sometimes endothermic, like ammonium nitrate salt.
12:27:05 <Nothing\> here's a pic of my set up atm
12:27:05 <Nothing\> https://i.ibb.co/0Gc22sN/20210826-153729.jpg
12:27:05 <Nothing\> DHess_US, that's what i figured
12:27:05 <Nothing\> speaking of exothermicity
12:27:05 <Nothing\> you know thta old experiment where you add vinegar and baking soda?
12:27:05 <DHess_US> I know why acids and bases are exothermic but I don't remember why salts can be endothermic.
12:27:05 <DHess_US> Obviously the heat of formation is reversed but I dont' remember why.
12:27:05 <Nothing\> i always used to play with it as a kid
12:27:05 <DHess_US> So did I.
12:27:05 <Nothing\> but recently i tried the experiment with stoichiometrically equal ratio of chemicals
12:27:05 <Nothing\> and substituted bicarb for carbonate
12:27:06 <Nothing\> and i noticed a pretty significant amount of heat being generate. Which I never noticed from just ising baking soday. But I'm sure there is a temperature change
12:27:06 <Nothing\> i mean you're adding acids and bases so it's to be expected
12:27:06 <Nothing\> it's just not something i ever thought about with that reaction before.
12:27:06 <Nothing\> I'd done it so many times, it was so common place to me I didn't stop to think about it in deth
12:27:06 <Nothing\> you know what i mean?
12:27:06 <Nothing\> or likewise when you became too comfortable with some routine or whatever
12:27:06 <Nothing\> either way i feel likethere's something i can with the sodium acetate that's leftover, but I cant remember what
12:27:06 <Nothing\> something about making that so-called "hot-ice"
12:27:06 <Nothing\> or was it making rochelle salts
12:27:06 <Nothing\> unless that was tartaric acid
