01:06 Join: Nothing\ (~Shmendrick@cpe9050ca20a183-cm9050ca20a180.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com) to #EEVblog
04:17 <Nothing\> man i got ripped off
04:44 <Nothing\> i got this "vape pen" for cannabis extracts. But it's just a battery
05:29 <Nothing\> the extracts come in disposable cartridges that already have the coil, a ceramic mouthpiece and everything built into it
06:03 <Nothing\> so i was thinking i coulda just bought the cartridges and soldered a wire to each terminal and just powered it off of my bench power supply
06:18 <Nothing\> put a switch in series with it and just press the switch to activate it
06:55 <Nothing\> although at about 1.5ohms at 4v i'd imagine those things heat up pretty fast
07:16 <Nothing\> not sure of the wattage, can't be assed to figure it out
08:06 <Nothing\> i couldn't even get a good reading on the resistance. My meter would show 1 ohm, then jump up to 3, then 1.5, then 2 and change, then 3 again and it'd just keep jumping around
08:30 <Nothing\> which i've noticed is a problem with measuring any really low or really high resistance
09:38 <Nothing\> yeesh yeah that's about 10 watts
09:54 <Nothing\> for a mass that's no more than maybe a quarter ounce
11:41 <Nothing\> HOLY SHIT
11:52 <Nothing\> I JUST REALIZED BART SIMPSON'S HEAD IS THE EXACT SAME SHAPE AS A CAN OF SOUP
12:08 <Ampera> there has never been a moment I've considered banning you more than now
13:03 <Nothing\> okay jspiros lol
13:26 <Ampera> no, he's smart, he would have banned you ages ago
13:28 <Ampera> oh wait
13:37 <Nothing\> wtf's your problem lately
14:00 <Nothing\> like, that's twice you've been on my ass about trivial shit
14:21 <Nothing\> i get it, i'm annoying at times. That's how people are.
14:28 <Nothing\> But you know what makes a friend a real friend?
14:34 <Nothing\> being tolerant of those annoyances
14:38 * Ampera kisses Nothing\ 
14:58 <Ampera> I haven't been on your ass about anything, I've never said a serious word in this channel
14:59 <Ampera> or in my life
15:03 <Ampera> besides this
15:04 <Ampera> you're cute
15:22 <Nothing\> to me it feels like you're riding my ass under the guise of joking
15:34 <Ampera> or maybe I'm joking under the guise of riding your ass
15:44 <Ampera> the world may never know
15:46 <Nothing\> and the so-called jokes have taken on a much more sinister tone as of late
15:51 <Nothing\> sinister/serious
16:08 <Nothing\> before i could at least recognize them for what they were and join in the fun
16:33 <Ampera> My way of making fun of reality is to overemphasize reality. I find it amusing when you turn up the contrast on anything and can start to really see the details
16:56 <Ampera> If you're hurt because of that, I apologize, there was no intent
16:58 <Nothing\> i can see that, definitely
17:03 <Ampera> I don't actually hate you, the only thing I hate is myself
17:11 <Ampera> I hate myself so much I don't even consider myself a person, just a thing
17:12 <Nothing\> that's like, the biggest thing in parody humour
17:25 <Ampera> It's more satire than parody
17:36 <Ampera> but satire where the message given is left up to the observer
17:37 <Nothing\> it's like a characature of words
17:44 <Nothing\> *made of words
18:04 <Ampera> that's my favorite thing about art in general, art which has a meaning defined only by the appreciator
18:19 <Ampera> and I consider art to be anything which expresses a meaning
18:20 <Nothing\> yeah but then it gets out of hand
18:27 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
18:32 <Nothing\> like that guy who just splattered a bunch of paint on a canvas
18:41 <Nothing\> apparently that was one of, if not the most expensive painting ever sold
18:47 <Nothing\> jacson pollock was it? i dunno
18:50 <Ampera> he should have splattered cum all over it
18:53 <Ampera> I would have bought it
18:54 <Nothing\> or andy warhol's can of soup
18:59 <Nothing\> Ampera, he probably did
19:03 <Nothing\> i would have for the lulz
19:19 <Ampera> the thing to realize about the art market is the meaning and significance of the piece is secondary to its value
19:20 <Nothing\> so i can think to myself "haha they just paid $600 million for my cum rag"
19:25 <Nothing\> although Ampera
19:37 <Ampera> since the dawn of government, people with a lot of money have been trying to think of ways to make sure nobody gets to take their money
19:41 <Nothing\> my mom was just telling me yesterday about how people have bought shit like william shatner's kidney stone
19:48 <Ampera> storing money in physical assets is one of the oldest forms of that
19:50 <Nothing\> or some other celebrity, i think brad pitt's used kleenex
19:54 <Nothing\> and shit like that
20:11 <Nothing\> when i was married there was a guy on irc willing to buy my ex's used tampons
20:17 <Ampera> as such, most super expensive art isn't actually worth anything, more it's an agreed upon material store of wealth
20:24 <Nothing\> unfortunately to ship them would have violated several laws
20:28 <Ampera> think of it kinda like a savings account for rich people, but with no bank
20:39 <Nothing\> ie shipping biohazardous materials through public mail
21:07 <Nothing\> i dunno, i've always been too logically minded to be able to appreciate art
21:25 <Nothing\> i (obviously) see things in a very literal way
21:35 <Ampera> That can be an appreciation of art.
21:35 <Nothing\> and many subtlties are lost on me
21:47 <Nothing\> which is why i'm not great at cooking, i go overboard with the spices
22:00 <Ampera> In art, the people who try to force a meaning are the ones who I believe don't get it
22:07 <Nothing\> and art, like painting i can't blend colors seamlessly
22:17 <Nothing\> or shade properly, or get proportions right
22:22 <Ampera> I do not believe there to be any true interpretation of any art. There can be an intended one, but people will see reality as they wish to
22:28 <Nothing\> and i just suck with a pen or any stylus based tool
22:30 <Ampera> and art is a medium which allows people to experience an alternate reality
22:35 <Ampera> like a seed to grow a plant
22:42 <Nothing\> huh i just made a random connection in my head
22:49 <Nothing\> in french, a pen is called la stylo
22:57 <Nothing\> never realized till just now it's derived from stylus
23:31 Join: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
23:37 <Nothing\> or is it le stylo? i know there's something about if a word ends in a vowel it's probably feminine, but i feel like that only applies to the vowel "a"
23:41 <Nothing\> heya Kuschelpony
23:44 <rust_collector> someone sent me "cake decorating supplies" from china.
24:08 <Kuschelpony> Hello Nothing
24:11 <rust_collector> it is a cardboard flamingo, with a feather, and a wooden stick
24:15 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, being a native speaker of a language with gender nouns, are there any patterns you've noticed in general between male and female nouns?
24:21 <Nothing\> like what i just explained
24:33 <Nothing\> lol rust_collector
24:39 <Nothing\> also hey rust_collector
24:46 <Kuschelpony> uhm, i can surely give you an answer but i can not yet translate your question
24:47 <Nothing\> rust_collector, you know, your name reminds me of the game rust
24:51 <Nothing\> which i bought, but have yet to play
25:00 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, ah no worries then lol
25:09 <Nothing\> it was just a general question about grammar
25:18 <Kuschelpony> as said im happy to help
25:21 <Nothing\> and nouns with genders, like male and female words
25:45 <Nothing\> and whether there's any sort of pattern to it
25:57 <Ampera> genders are dumb
25:58 <Ampera> I hate genders
26:01 <Nothing\> like, female words end in these letters
26:01 <Ampera> anyone with a gender is stupid
26:04 <Nothing\> that sort of rule
26:13 <Kuschelpony> ah
26:20 <Nothing\> like i know in some languages, a lot of words that end in A are female
26:24 <Nothing\> words and names
26:48 <Kuschelpony> no there are not many patterns like this, either you are born into this language or you dont understand it, perhaps bot at once
26:51 <Nothing\> think about it, you slap an A on the end of any name and it sounds like it's for a woman
26:55 <Nothing\> helmuta
27:00 <Nothing\> see?
27:02 <Nothing\> :P
27:08 <Kuschelpony> hihi :)
27:27 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, dang, i was afraid of that
27:38 <Nothing\> i always had a feeling there was no rhyme or reason to it
27:45 <Kuschelpony> i try to use ungerndered pronouns to avoid this where i feel unsure
28:05 <rust_collector> well, if you add a t, you sound like a dog.... I am not sure if that is a rule or not
28:05 <Nothing\> i know in french there are some general patterns, like something about if the letter ends in a vowel it's most likely female
28:13 <Nothing\> er, if the word ends in a vowel
28:48 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, huh so is it a common mistake among even native speakers to mix up genders?
29:05 <Nothing\> i guess if you've never heard the word before, huh?
29:15 <Kuschelpony> im not sure how common it is, but i can say that even natives sometimes either ignore it or feel unsure
29:35 <Nothing\> i wonder if that's unique to german, or happens with other such languages
29:45 <Nothing\> i don't know any native french speakers anymore
29:58 <Nothing\> i used to know a quebecois but he/she wasn't the greatest person
30:02 <Nothing\> turned out to be real toxic
30:18 <Kuschelpony> we have an language that can be awesome for poetic texts, we have an language that can be deeply precise for scientific use, and we have an language that is plain complicated and unlogical
30:44 <Kuschelpony> perhaps you should ask an deep learning AI to find your patterns
31:26 <Ampera> I love the quebecois. They're so fucking mad at being inferior to everyone else
31:28 <Ampera> kinda like serbs
31:45 <Nothing\> Ampera, lol and their many failed attempts at succession
31:55 <Ampera> secession
32:01 <Nothing\> cuz canada's gonna let itself be geographically cut in half
32:19 <rust_collector> worked ok for pakistan
32:23 <Nothing\> hah
32:24 <Ampera> hahahaha
32:44 <Nothing\> actually now that i think about it, it pretty much IS cut in half anyways
33:01 <Nothing\> i mean the differences between ontario, and the maritime provinces on the other side of quebec are vast
33:07 <Nothing\> even our accents are nothing alike
33:28 <Nothing\> they have this weird almost mix of irish and stereotypical canadian accents, it's kinda nice in a way actually
33:39 <Nothing\> we call it a newfie accent
34:03 <Nothing\> even though it's for everyone in the maritimes, but it's especially present in newfoundland
34:18 <Nothing\> or nofinlind as they call it
34:29 <Nothing\> or nofinlund
34:35 <rust_collector> we have dialects, that are really hard to understand at all, not just different sounding
34:47 <Nothing\> yeah, newfies are real hard to understand
34:59 <Nothing\> it's almost like the pikey accent in snatch
35:02 <Nothing\> remember that?
35:06 <rust_collector> nope
35:07 <Nothing\> brad pitt's character
35:17 <rust_collector> Ok, I have never seen it
35:28 <Nothing\> you should, it's guy ritchie's finest movie imo
35:49 <Nothing\> it's funny, i went and watched lock stock and two smoking barrels afterwards, which was one of his first movies
35:56 <Nothing\> it was essentially the exact same movie as snatch
36:07 <Nothing\> except with a bag of money instead of a big diamond
36:26 <Nothing\> and everybody's trying to get their hands on it as hijinx ensue
36:51 Join: TheDude ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
36:58 <Nothing\> and then in the end the most unlikely underdog type character ends up getting it by pure chance after being dragged through the ringer
37:06 <Nothing\> hey TheDude
37:16 <Nothing\> you're just in time, i was discussing guy ritchie films
37:23 <Nothing\> or at least the first two
37:33 <Nothing\> snatch and lock stock
38:44 <Nothing\> and now i've killed the chat
39:03 <Nothing\> oh funny thing i read the other day
39:34 <Nothing\> apparently some schools in their psych department are using episodes of the big bang theory to teach about abnormal psychology (ie mental illnesses)
39:43 * Ampera hugs TheDude 
39:44 <Nothing\> they have the students watch and then diagnose sheldon lol
39:44 <rust_collector> I think I saw a poster from a guy ritchie film. maybe together with someone else. it had a scammell crusader on it
39:46 <Ampera> how are you doing TheDude
40:30 <Nothing\> rust_collector, i dunno frankly i got sick of jason statham after snatch
40:38 <Nothing\> i dunno why he was so popular
40:48 <rust_collector> he has nice hair?
40:48 <Nothing\> i guarantee if you took away his accent, nobody would give two shits about him
41:05 <Nothing\> yes
41:12 <Nothing\> it does rather remind me of a brillo pad
41:22 <Nothing\> which reminds me, i've gotta shave my head again
41:41 <Nothing\> i noticed i had a cowlick this morning. If my hair can assume any shape other than round it's too long
42:23 <Nothing\> oh yeah that's right
42:31 <Nothing\> i was meaning to ask
43:35 <Nothing\> is there anything fundamentally different about the architecture of a GPU vs a standard CPU? or is there something about them that makes them specially suited to processing graphics. Like a vector processing unit or a digital signal processor
44:05 <Nothing\> i'd imagine a GPU is probably different in how it deals with memory since it uses apparently very different memory from a CPU
45:31 <Nothing\> but that's about all the speculating i can do. Maybe hardware versions of 3d rendering software in the form of asics
45:43 <Nothing\> but that's more the chipset
53:57 <Ampera> Depends on what period in time you're on, but in modern days the most fundamental differences are GPUs operate using a very small instruction set dedicated to working on certain data types, and are typically manycore designs
55:32 <Ampera> GPU memory tends to be a lot faster at shifting around massive chunks of data really fast than normal CPU memory
55:49 <Ampera> usually with much larger bus widths
57:11 <Ampera> iirc, as things shifted into GPGPU eras with CUDA and such, the design of GPUs became a lot more general purpose than the more dedicated rendering hardware
57:46 <Ampera> stuff like the Voodoo 1/2 had hardware dedicated to texture mapping and drawing, whereas I think most of that is sort of kinda done in software on modern GPUs
58:12 <Ampera> this is like a few college degrees above my paygrade, so I could be way off the mark here
05:30 <T3sl4> Halcyon, electrohead said he had "multiple warnings"
06:06 <T3sl4> i don't know what kind of incompetence we have here among ops that that should come to be
06:51 <Ampera> Yeah I probably should have banned him when he posted porn
06:58 <Ampera> the main problem is we really don't get a lot of trouble
07:06 <Ampera> so there's no real established bar as to what constitutes a permaban
07:20 <Ampera> and he's been in here multiple times without serious problem, so it's not like he was constantly being an issue
10:11 <T3sl4> he's been harassing someone too
10:14 <Ampera> actually I'm not sure, I might have even given him a temp ban
10:22 <Ampera> That was never brought to my attention, and was not aware of it
10:40 <Ampera> was this out in the open?
10:54 <Ampera> but now that I think of it, i might have actually given him a temp ban at one point
10:54 <T3sl4> by PMs, they said they had to block em
11:05 <Ampera> yeah then that's in the hands of austnet staff primarily
11:31 <Ampera> not that it doesn't detract from his case in here, but that's typically how it goes afaik
11:52 <T3sl4> would be nice if our admins were ever around *cough*
12:15 <Ampera> I think electrohead is actually a server op. I'm not sure
15:57 <Ampera> I think I kicked him, not a ban
16:05 <Ampera> I thought it was a ban, but logs show otherwise
17:30 Join: arch ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
17:41 * Ampera launches tentacles at arch 
18:02 * arch cooks them and eats them
18:10 <Ampera> mmm
18:23 <Ampera> Cephalopod is delicious
18:39 <Ampera> we used to get canned octopus/squid all the time, until I think my dad got sick of it
20:19 <Kuschelpony> mmh, i should clean up a bit more my hobby room
21:09 <Ampera> would be nice if the music store would call me up and tell me my 8 string's ready to pick up
21:29 <Kuschelpony> tried to find back the roll of crap leadfree solder to be used as anode for galvanic tinning experiments, but found only the roll of the good solder (with copper and silver) that is too expensive and probably even less good for these things
22:38 <Ampera> I've been meaning to find a good 60/40 solder
22:43 <Ampera> they have rosin core solders on amazon for cheap
22:49 <Ampera> idk if cheap is good, I don't solder much
23:57 <Kuschelpony> oh im soldering leadfree since 2006 without problems after i found a good mix, but i also have an almost full 250g roll of the cheap shit
24:19 <Kuschelpony> and that would have been a good start now
24:29 <Ampera> I hate the environment, so I like lead solder
24:52 <electrohead> T3sl4: I'm part of the admin team, but not a full IRCop
25:27 <Ampera> when are we getting auth on connect
25:40 <Ampera> I probably asked for this in 2019
25:42 <Ampera> :P
25:53 <T3sl4> the answer is the same as it was then
26:04 <Ampera> never
26:08 <Ampera> but it's still amusing to ask
26:32 <arch> anyone know if it's possible to use the git cli tool to re-generate OAUTH tokens?
27:07 <Ampera> I wouldn't think so, you might be able to do that through the API for whatever your git provider is
27:08 <T3sl4> Kuschelpony: meh, they'll just fall out as "anode slime", or maybe dissolve making the solution less pure over time
27:46 <electrohead> directly through the CLI? I don't think it's possible
28:26 <electrohead> of course it can be used via CLI, but generating, yeah not too sure
30:22 <Nothing\> jeez
30:50 <Nothing\> you know you have problems when you spend 45 minutes making circuit diagrams to prove a point for a reply to a youtube comment
30:56 <K> Oh-auth
31:56 <T3sl4> K: Two Oh
32:01 <electrohead> T3sl4: alright, I got the required information about the noexpire for bans; do we want to permanently ban him? also, what chanop command did you originally use to place then ban?
32:08 <electrohead> you can reply via PM if you wish
32:17 <K> Ampera, i have a roll of Loctite Crystal 4000, is 63/37 and a pleaure to work with
32:29 <K> err, Crystal 400
33:16 <Ampera> ain't cheap
33:18 <K> was not exactly cheap, as i recall, but i do not use kilos of the stuff
33:19 <Ampera> but I'll consider it
33:44 <Ampera> looks like 500g is around 40 bucks or so
34:08 <K> i have 250g spool, paid 25 eur iirc
34:09 <arch> what's wrong with Kester 63/37?
34:10 <Ampera> on newark though, as I recall their shipping prices are shit
34:21 <Ampera> I don't fucking know, I hate electronics
34:41 <Ampera> I just want some on hand in case I need it
34:49 <arch> if you buy the cheapest shit off ebay, you're gonna get chinese solder, which is basically molten lead acid battery plates and smells like ass
34:58 <Ampera> ebay is gay
35:03 <K> yeah, dont do that
36:01 <Ampera> Kester seems to be about the same price off amazon as crystal 400 is off newark
36:56 <T3sl4> just get a small roll of any brand from digikey or whatever, RMA, leaded 60/40 or 63/37
36:58 <Ampera> ah, I've found a 1lb spool for 30 bucks
37:01 <T3sl4> can be multicore if you like
37:11 <Ampera> I don't like ordering small orders off digikey
37:19 <Ampera> anything I can get off amazon is easier
37:24 <T3sl4> no-clean and other kinds tend to be less active, maybe not so great for starting out
37:33 <K> can't you ask your dad for some?
37:47 <Ampera> Yes, but I'd rather have my own roll.
37:57 <K> okay
38:12 <Ampera> I'm not even really starting out, I've been soldering for years, I just don't do it enough to give a shit
38:13 <T3sl4> that's just how Ampera rolls
38:40 <K> (badum-tsh)
38:45 <TheDude> g'day
38:49 * Ampera hugs TheDude 
38:51 <Ampera> how are you doing
39:03 <TheDude> alright, I guess
39:22 <TheDude> slightly weary
39:30 <Ampera> I am very weary
39:33 <Ampera> leary
39:35 <Ampera> queery
39:36 <Ampera> and sneery
40:33 <TheDude> it's rather hectic at work atm
40:44 <TheDude> trying to solve multiple problems at once
40:48 <Ampera> right now we're in panic before the storm mode
40:52 <TheDude> and things aren't going as smoothly as one would hope
40:54 <arch> we're almost there. tgif tomorrow
41:05 <Ampera> bunch of new features to go out the door, and regression testing stuff
41:07 <TheDude> friday ain't solving shit
41:29 <arch> b-but...pizza
41:55 <arch> https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/484/832/ee0.jpeg
41:58 <Ampera> bizza
42:16 <Ampera> I must be doing something wrong
42:33 <Ampera> as I'm not underpaid, I work well, but I don't overdo it, and I am without pizza at this moment
43:10 <arch> hehe, no pizza for you, fatty
43:49 <K> pizzaless
44:04 <K> i don't have pizza either, thogh
44:08 <Ampera> I probably weigh less than you do arch
44:19 <Ampera> (in comparison to height)
44:22 <K> 60kg ?
44:28 <Ampera> I have no idea what that is
44:34 <TheDude> I am currently severely underpaid
44:34 <arch> 221 bananas is my weight
44:47 <Ampera> I weigh 170 small bags of rice
45:09 <TheDude> and I'm currently searching for alternatives
45:25 <T3sl4> Ampera: kg * 2.2
45:30 <Ampera> Job market's great here if you want a service job
45:44 <Ampera> ah, so 60lbslbsl
45:56 <TheDude> nah, not interested in remote work with weird hours
47:01 <arch> if i lived in a small town, i wouldn't mind a service job (ie. face to face with people) with lower pay
47:47 <Ampera> TheDude, not that kind of service job
48:08 <Ampera> I more mean you push carts at walmart, or take orders at mcdonalds
48:17 <T3sl4> TheDude: psst, Ampera wants to join your OnlyFans
48:23 Mode: (by ChanOP) +b *!*Lord_of_not@*.fonira.net
48:23 Kick: Lord_of_nothing was kicked by ChanOP ((electrohead) You are banned)
48:45 <electrohead> Done.
48:50 <Ampera> cool
48:51 <TheDude> anyhow
48:52 <Ampera> I hated him
48:57 <Ampera> just didn't think anyone else did
49:03 <TheDude> currently looking for alternatives
49:04 <arch> what did he do
49:13 <TheDude> no longer willing to put up with subpar salary
49:13 <Ampera> he committed the crime of being austraian
49:16 <Ampera> er, austrian
49:22 <TheDude> I might as well get a couple of job offers
49:32 <Ampera> same offense adolf hitler committed, which lead to his execution by the nazi government
49:37 <arch> naruhodo
49:43 <TheDude> and then give the current employer a chance to improve on the current salary if they want me to stay
49:47 <electrohead> Posted porn, went off on anti-vax bullshit, went off about hitler and nazi shit.. So, he's done.
50:07 <arch> TheDude, that is a bad idea. they can short term agree to your higher pay, but fire you once they get a replacement for you
50:27 <TheDude> yeah... talking shit about Hitler is where I'd draw the line
50:37 <Ampera> hitler was gay
50:44 <TheDude> arch, lol no
50:56 <Ampera> he looked like someone fucked charlie chaplin in the ass with a bratwurst
51:01 <TheDude> the employment laws are a fair bit more strict here than they are over there
51:10 <arch> where are you again? uk?
51:14 <TheDude> Slovenia
51:16 <arch> oo
51:40 <TheDude> anyhow, you can't simply sack someone because you kinda sorta don't like him
51:54 <Ampera> you'd be surprised
52:00 <TheDude> no, I would not
52:07 <TheDude> it doesn't work like that here
52:11 <TheDude> anyhow
52:19 <TheDude> they would definitely not do that
52:24 <Ampera> here you can get sacked for almost any reason
52:28 <TheDude> because they need me MUCH more than I need them
52:52 <TheDude> I leave right now and the only project that is about to go into production goes to shit
52:56 <Ampera> which makes it all the most impressive when people who do their job like a 3 year old sticking a square peg into a round hole never get let go
53:56 <TheDude> so they really can't afford to lose me
54:03 <T3sl4> Ampera: compliant, mediocre workers are the hallmark of a middle-management-dominated system
54:22 <TheDude> and I'm most definitely going to use that as leverage
55:19 * Ampera sticks T3sl4 under a car, and levers on him like a shop jack
55:49 <T3sl4> Ampera: https://i.imgur.com/VXRM504.jpg
56:16 <K> Ampera jacks of T3sl4, noted.
56:21 <K> off.
56:27 <Ampera> better than queening him of
56:29 <Ampera> he's a king
56:33 <Ampera> *off
56:44 <Ampera> K, I'm atching yuor lysdecxia
57:19 <TheDude> also speaking of which
57:40 <TheDude> if they can manage to find someone that can do my work for less money, they should probably clone him
58:09 <TheDude> because the company has job ads for more embedded sw engineers out for months now
58:33 <TheDude> and people are applying for the position, but nobody is willing to accept the salary :D

04:32 <K> how much, TheDude ?
04:32 <arch> lol, i was looking for a devops job a year ago, and the fucker that got back to me offered $12/hr...i was like...bruh, the min wage is $15, and that's for unskilled work too.
05:01 <TheDude> you're probably going to laugh rn
05:06 <TheDude> 1400-1500€ monthly
05:10 <Ampera> woah
05:32 <TheDude> it's not that awful for this country
05:40 <TheDude> but it's pretty fucking meager for the work that I do
05:51 <K> um, yea, that is not hot
05:56 <TheDude> oh yeah, this is the net
06:05 <K> haha
06:11 <arch> yea i was making about ~$1700/mo USD doing helpdesk, and that only needed like ~10% of my brain power
06:15 <TheDude> not counting in health insurance and pension payments
06:17 <Ampera> TheDude, how many hours do you work a month
06:21 <Ampera> 160-ish?
06:29 <TheDude> 174 on average
06:36 <Ampera> uhhh
06:38 <TheDude> 8 hours per day, 5 days a week
07:05 <Ampera> by my calculations that's about 10$/hr
07:11 <Ampera> that's below NY minimum wage
07:25 <TheDude> hold up
07:31 <rust_collector> but he does not live in NY...
07:37 <TheDude> I'm talking about the net salary which gets to my account
07:49 <TheDude> health insurance and pension already paid
07:53 <Ampera> you mean post-tax income
07:59 <TheDude> that, too
07:59 <Ampera> or rather, post-deductions
08:04 <TheDude> post everything
08:08 <Ampera> ok, that's a lot different
08:18 <TheDude> hold on
08:53 <TheDude> the gross last month was 2060€
08:58 <Ampera> the standard here is to state your net income / gross wage, which is before deductions
09:33 <TheDude> right, which is what I realized after some time in this conversation
09:35 <Ampera> so that's a bit below 15$/hr
09:36 <TheDude> and added that
09:46 <Ampera> at current conversion rates
09:57 <TheDude> I trust your calculation
10:12 <Ampera> unless you're sweeping floors, or the cost of living is almost negative where you are, that's dogshit
10:22 <TheDude> again, for Slovenian standards it's not even bad
10:32 <TheDude> but for engineer standards, it's bad
10:36 <arch> ^^
10:58 <Ampera> I work software QA and make over twice as much as you post-taxes
11:21 <TheDude> is that a good salary where you are?
11:23 <Ampera> I think you probably should murder, or at least brutally injure a few people in management
11:23 <rust_collector> why do people from different places still try to compare their income, lol
11:44 <arch> word
11:49 <Ampera> It's quite decent. There is a somewhat lower cost of living where I am, so it's not bad
11:55 <Ampera> For my age and experience it's absolutely stellar
12:03 <Ampera> but for the position it's a good salary
12:05 <arch> if you told me you made $100k...but lived in California, you're basically living like a bum
12:08 <TheDude> the average slovenian gross salary for the last 12 month is 1860€
12:18 <TheDude> which nets 1210€
12:34 <K> about the same here too
12:36 <Ampera> gross and net salary are the same thing, at least in the terminology I'm familiar with
12:52 <Ampera> could easily be that I'm confusing terms
12:55 <K> a little less, even
13:17 <Ampera> No clue what the NY average is, and it'd be a bit skewed since salaries in NYC are way higher than they are here
13:22 <TheDude> Ampera, it's not the same thing
13:34 <TheDude> depends entirely on your living expenses
13:40 <K> net is whate is left after teh tax man has had his way
13:44 <Ampera> seems it is
13:49 <Ampera> idk why I thought it was otherwise
14:05 <TheDude> so
14:10 <Ampera> TheDude, what's the price of an average apartment rent (in a month) and a month's groceries
14:25 <TheDude> hold on, I'll try to find the stats
14:37 <Ampera> average rent here is maybe 800-900USD/mo and I pay around 250$/mo or so on groceries for one person
14:41 <Ampera> I more mean off the top of your head
14:42 <K> 350 eur here for smalish, but in old city
14:46 <Ampera> what you'd consider average
15:21 <K> you could get something passable for 250 a bit away from center
15:39 <Nothing\> ah that's enough new vegas for new
15:39 <Ampera> The cheapest you'd be lucky to find anywhere is probably 500-700USD
15:47 <Ampera> depends on where you're looking
15:50 <Nothing\> i just skipped ahead right to the strip from the repconn plant
16:08 <Nothing\> still gotta do helios 1 and take care of that "mr fantastic"
16:12 <Nothing\> that guy always made me laugh
16:24 <Ampera> rental prices are absolutely fucked here because evictions are illegal and nobody's cashing out renal assistance programs, so anything rental is a massive liability
16:49 <arch> need to evict the fucking evil bankers, is what
16:49 <TheDude> the apartment where I'm currently would run around 750€/month
17:11 <TheDude> but I'm not paying rent because it belongs to my parents
17:52 <TheDude> the bills I'm paying are around 200-250€ month
18:19 <rust_collector> how much do you pay to rent your parents each month?
18:41 <TheDude> then I spend maybe 300€/month for food
18:43 <Ampera> so your rent is similar to ours
18:48 <Ampera> food about the same too
18:55 <K> food the same here too
18:57 <Ampera> so, very roughly, your cost of living is similar
19:12 <TheDude> it seems so
19:54 <TheDude> but rental prices here are exorbitant because I'm living in the center of the capital
19:57 <Ampera> I am out of tea
19:59 <Ampera> who the fuck did this
20:02 <Ampera> who drank my tea
20:05 <Ampera> I'm gonna kick your ass
20:21 * jaymax kicks Ampera ass
20:34 <jaymax> I to am out of tee
20:56 <jaymax> Precedents, mofo
21:21 <Ampera> I almost shit my pants and thought you were jspiros
21:29 <Ampera> but no he isn't that jovial
21:54 <jaymax> My mood is dependent on time of day
22:05 <Ampera> I have abolished time.
22:07 <Ampera> there is no time of day
22:09 <Ampera> you have no mood
22:30 <jaymax> No you're a towel.
23:21 <Ampera> get out of my electrohead you maniac
26:36 * electrohead films
26:46 <Ampera> how are you are you , electrohead electrohead?
26:55 <arch> imo, it is better to live with parents than with random strangers, if you're gonna have to roomshare anyways and share rent
27:03 <Ampera> ^
27:06 <arch> that way, you save some money, quite a bit of money
27:09 <electrohead> living with family can suck, though
27:14 <Ampera> ^
27:30 * electrohead bit shifts Ampera
27:43 <arch> yeah, it depends on your situation. if you can tolerate your family and/or enjoy their company, it is a good way to save money in your younger years
27:48 * Ampera bit slices electrohead

32:36 <Ampera> also you have a samsung Galaxy S10+
32:47 <rust_collector> yea
32:55 <Nothing\> ah man i need some food
33:00 <rust_collector> no
33:04 <Nothing\> sitting around is making me hungry
33:08 <rust_collector> yep
33:08 <Nothing\> rust_collector, have you played Rust?
33:11 <rust_collector> no
33:15 <Nothing\> or have any of you present played it?
33:31 <rust_collector> I don't play games
33:37 <rust_collector> at all
35:06 <arch> im still on a nexus 5 from 2013 or so
35:17 <arch> the battery sucks ass now, but it still works

36:29 <Nothing\> i just fell asleep suddenly, head on my desk.
36:51 <rust_collector> if I am not mixing you up with someone else.... did anything change?
37:03 <Ampera> No, he's still Nothing\
37:03 <Nothing\> anything like what?
37:07 <Ampera> unfortunately
37:29 <rust_collector> falling asleep is not a new thing for you, is it?
37:39 * Ampera gives Nothing\ a baked potato
37:41 <Nothing\> lol no i do it all the time
37:46 <Nothing\> i'm just oversedated
37:48 <Ampera> reminds me of my grandfather
37:58 <Ampera> he used to have issues staying awake, is a lot better now
38:02 <Nothing\> and sleep deprived
38:09 <Ampera> got to the point where it was a bit precarious when he drove
38:14 * jaymax gives Ampera Nothing\
38:24 <Ampera> what did I do to deserve that, jaymax
38:30 <Ampera> just keep the receipt is all I can say
38:37 <jaymax> Big bet it's been done before.
38:54 <Ampera> no, people usually just make me wish they got me nothing
39:12 <Ampera> last year's christmas was my worst christmas ever by a country mile
39:27 * jaymax gives Ampera six monkey paw wishes
39:29 <Nothing\> lol i saw this youtube video that had millions of views showing how you can use hand sanitizer to erase the ink on receipts
39:43 * Ampera wishes for a six footed monkey
40:09 <Nothing\> i'm sitting here thinking "well duh, does nobody know how peolpe committed cheque fraud back the day? They used the exact same technique almost
40:20 <Ampera> the ultimate shoplifter power move is to print your own receipt in the store containing everything you stole
40:26 <jaymax> I once wished for a big hairy beaver - I was disappoint.
40:33 * Ampera gives jaymax Nothing\ 
40:40 <jaymax> Awwww!
40:57 <Nothing\> just wash the cheque in a solvent that'll dissolve the ink but not damage or mark the paper, then write in whatever value you want for it
41:48 <jaymax> Amzing.
42:34 <Ampera> I like checks
42:37 <Ampera> it's my preferred way to pay
42:45 <Nothing\> checks and balances?
43:03 <Nothing\> check valves?
43:09 <Nothing\> checkered suits?
43:11 <Ampera> no personal checks
43:29 <Nothing\> personal chicks?
43:32 <jaymax> I'm among the village people I like cheques.
43:39 <Ampera> I enjoy being that asshole in the checkout aisle who is trying to scribble everything onto a check in absolute chicken scritch
43:49 <Ampera> if I have to pay in cash, then my only way to piss people off is to count exact change
43:58 <Ampera> which just doesn't have the same level of anger installation
44:00 <jaymax> Ohai gramma
44:04 <Nothing\> lol my bank charges me $50 for a book of 50 cheques
44:11 <Ampera> you can print your own checks
44:11 <Nothing\> soi i don't even bother
44:17 <Nothing\> yeah i was just gonna say
44:18 <Ampera> I mean, you can also buy your own checks too
44:34 <Ampera> I think I got more checks than I'll ever use from a service on rush order for maybe 20 bucks
45:10 <Nothing\> although, as long as it has the transit, account and routing numbers, you can basically write out a cheque on a cocktail napkin and it'd still be valid
45:44 <Nothing\> oh, nice
45:56 <Nothing\> yeah that's a lot better than $1 a piece cheques
46:59 <Nothing\> oooh iced cappuccino
47:03 <Nothing\> yummay
47:24 <Nothing\> hrm that didn't last long
47:31 <Nothing\> just chugged it back cuz it was all melted
47:34 <Ampera> Checks really are one of the cheapest and easiest ways to give someone money
47:42 <Nothing\> but man, if you ever go to a tim hortons, Ampera
47:49 <Ampera> they don't exist around here
48:01 <Ampera> I would like some poutine at some point though
48:02 <Nothing\> get an iced cappuccino if it's warm weather, or a white hot chocolate if it's cold
48:14 <Nothing\> Ampera, they have tim hortons in some locations in the states
48:21 <Nothing\> i'm just not sure where
48:34 <Nothing\> or how prevalent they are
48:39 <Nothing\> hrm
48:46 <Nothing\> PREvalent
48:52 <Nothing\> equiVALENT
49:09 <Nothing\> i'm guessing valent means available
49:47 <Nothing\> so equivalent is like, equal availability between all sets
49:54 <Nothing\> sets or values
51:29 <Nothing\> so i read that the prefix ortho means straight or erect, right.
52:21 <Nothing\> So I got thinking, does that mean orthopeedick surgeons do surgery on erect penises of men who tried to go pee before the erection went away so it spray all over their dick, giving them pee-dick
52:29 <Nothing\> HAR
53:00 <Nothing\> besides, everyone knows the best way to pee when you have an erection is doing a handstand
53:31 <Nothing\> though for some reason I've come across multiple men throughout my life who swore up and down it's impossible to piss with an erection, which I never understood.
53:38 <jaymax> hor-thot-pee-dick
53:52 <Nothing\> sure it's not easy, but it's sure as hell possible
54:16 <Nothing\> even for my old ass that takes 5-10 minutes or more to start pissing once I've begun trying
54:18 <jaymax> This all falls apart with pediatricians.
54:59 <Nothing\> pee dietitions?
55:52 <jaymax> Urine-pickled eggs.

33:01 <hsn> T3sl4: xD .. im just sending stuff i know u dont
33:19 <DHess_US> It was especially common before PNP power transistors were common, because then you could use NPN transistors for both sides of a +/- power supply.
33:57 <DHess_US> Sometimes still see it with bipolar power supplies that use a pair of 7815s or whatever instead of a 7915.
35:21 <hsn> DHess_US: i was referring to the "plastic enclosure" giving u a feel that its double insulated or class II supply .. while wires which are connected to finger access metal parts .. are long and soldered can break and touch the dangerous voltages ..

24:17 <T3sl4> it's a blue moon, Halcyon
24:20 * Ampera jellies up the hole
24:28 <Halcyon> I'll jam you in the ass Ampera
24:30 <jaymax> Ampera de-seeded is jelly.
24:38 <Halcyon> Where are you going T3sl4 ?
24:44 <jaymax> Stuff that need not care is jam
24:45 <T3sl4> karaoke
24:50 <Halcyon> Oh nice!
25:01 <steve30> Ampera, not kitten curry?
25:12 <Halcyon> Have fun! Belt out some Spice Girls for m
25:13 <Halcyon> me
25:32 <jaymax> 12 herbs and spice girls?
25:47 <jaymax> Which one is uraniam-235 spice?
26:28 <Halcyon> That's racist
26:47 <MrMobodies> Hello
26:47 <jaymax> What's racist?
27:00 <Halcyon> *shrug*
27:12 <Halcyon> Everything is racist these days
27:17 <Halcyon> (Apparently)
27:23 <Ampera> especially you
27:26 <Ampera> racist
27:28 * jaymax wonders if Halcyon has my room bugged
27:31 <Halcyon> Allegedly yes
27:50 <jaymax> lots of racist sounds happenin here rn
27:51 <Halcyon> Nah, I don't crawl around in roofs and shit, the other team does that
27:58 <jaymax> kk
28:00 <jaymax> k
28:04 <Halcyon> Hahah
28:29 <Halcyon> I'll be back soon, going to the shops, I'll call you afterwards Ampera, in say about 30-40 mins?
28:45 <jaymax> TIL about the cereal box placement in prisons.
28:53 <MrMobodies> the walls have ears apparently if you have good hearing.
28:59 <MrMobodies> that's what I was told
29:02 <Ampera> yes yes
29:09 <jaymax> Special K | Special K | Special K
29:13 <MrMobodies> and they made phone calls behind closed doors when they saw me
29:44 <MrMobodies> but it was the reverb and they had poor hearing due to going to many nightclubs and noisy pubs
29:45 <Ampera> jaymax, if you keep calling K special I'm gonna have to end you with the ultimate punishment
29:48 <Ampera> you will be banned
29:50 <Ampera> TO CANADA
29:58 <jaymax> Whelp, already there.
30:03 <Ampera> oh
30:08 <Ampera> TO QUEBEC
30:11 <jaymax> Ouch
30:32 <jaymax> I'll be good then.
30:43 * jaymax hugs Ampera
30:48 <Ampera> AHHHH
30:48 <Ampera> IT BURNS
30:50 * Ampera melts
30:59 <Ampera> into jaymax's arms, embracing him
31:04 <jaymax> WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?
31:24 <MrMobodies> I am building something for my local pub for Disco nights
31:28 <MrMobodies> https://imgur.com/a/w4oMzIi
31:29 <EEVBot> [Title] - Imgur: The magic of the Internet
31:51 <MrMobodies> so they can play audio with or without the cables using the usb network hub wit a bridge
32:03 <MrMobodies> I thought it would be nice
32:32 <MrMobodies> everything is safe and all velcroed down
32:40 <MrMobodies> and the cables are double insulated
32:56 <MrMobodies> and any sharp edges have velco and tape so it doesn't pinch the cables
32:59 <jaymax> I'm feeling a little too good about that setup.
33:20 <MrMobodies> The bottom sound card Aaztech 2320 is special for the Sound retrieval system
33:27 <jaymax> Very ... tittilating.
33:33 <MrMobodies> I just put sound in line in and it comes out with the effrect
33:47 <MrMobodies> I can hear the choirs and everything in the background
33:53 <MrMobodies> compared it to being flat
34:26 <MrMobodies> The 6 fire was given to me I didn't think it would sound great but it's seems fine
34:38 <MrMobodies> and it seems solid
34:54 <MrMobodies> I put in an SSD that I can easily remove
34:57 <MrMobodies> in a tray
35:40 <MrMobodies> but the idea is to connect to the Sound blaster on the USB network hub and then use the DAC of the 6 fire sound card
36:07 <MrMobodies> and that goes tot he Aztech 2320 then to the Pub's mixer and speakers
36:19 <MrMobodies> does it look nice?
36:59 <MrMobodies> It is my way of fighting boredom
37:08 <MrMobodies> instead of falling asleep in my chair
37:27 <jaymax> It does - but I get rousy for molex.
38:17 <MrMobodies> rousy?
38:56 <jaymax> rowdy
39:13 <jaymax> It's getting late for me.
39:22 <MrMobodies> oh it is a bit noisy and messy
39:45 <MrMobodies> I used a fan enclosure to hid the cables
39:54 <MrMobodies> so the door doesn't catch them
40:30 <MrMobodies> and the molex I bent them a bit to tight it up and tie wrapped the extensions later
41:16 <MrMobodies> sorry to ruin the conversion
41:43 <MrMobodies> seeing how quiet it has become
42:02 <Ampera> nah I've just moved to my DAW
42:04 <Ampera> playing guitar now
42:33 <MrMobodies> that's nice to have something to play with
43:20 <Ampera> on 6 string bass using guitarix
46:44 <MrMobodies> looks like a good tool
46:45 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/e0DEVCF.jpg
46:52 <MrMobodies> The Guitarix
47:28 <MrMobodies> My dad is into guitars
47:48 <MrMobodies> and has all sorts of things like peddles and meters to measure the guitars
47:59 <MrMobodies> that he collected over the years
48:00 <Ampera> It is quite useful
48:11 <Ampera> it's nice since I have only a couple pedals, and I like playing with effects
48:18 <Ampera> I can also make up for not having an expensive amp
48:31 <Ampera> Since I can play around with the signal from the guitar
50:13 <MrMobodies> In my old house I had many speakers but I couldn't use them as everyone would hear it
50:49 <MrMobodies> now I have moved and into this extensions which is the outer wall I got to get some speakers in here
50:59 <MrMobodies> that's the freedom I never had before
51:13 Join: arch ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
51:15 <MrMobodies> just a set of Philips wireless headphones that I had to find abroad
51:45 <MrMobodies> I think they were 800mhz and they don't cut out at low volumes like the ones i kept on returning
53:49 <T3sl4> sweet corn with various levels of salt and pepper and old bay
53:49 <Ampera> I always thought of you as corny
53:49 <Halcyon> I've never tried old bay, I should
53:49 <T3sl4> it's kinda, paprika + celery salt
53:49 <Ampera> https://media.distractify.com/brand-img/QJ5iZf4Uj/0x0/peta-seafood-1605121132611.jpeg
53:49 <electrohead> o/
53:49 <electrohead> I'm finally done for the day
55:23 <MrMobodies> Ampera in about of weeks I am going to have a sort out
55:43 <MrMobodies> I have some sound cards to send
56:40 <Ampera> Oh sure, let me know if you need me to confirm my address
56:46 <Ampera> and if there's anything you'd like me to send you
00:03 <MrMobodies> not at the moment
00:23 <Ampera> Understood, and still appreciated
00:42 <MrMobodies> Emu card 1820, Aztech 2320 ISA, 1 stereo Techlink cable and one stereo to rca and 2 phone jacks
01:19 <MrMobodies> I still have to repair that dock which I'll do at a later date
02:07 <MrMobodies> and I'll take some picture of stuff I think you make like
02:52 <MrMobodies> I have a question for everyone
03:02 <MrMobodies> has anyone here every played the Ouija board?
03:11 <MrMobodies> and did they notice anything?
03:14 <Ampera> I haven't, but I do know what it is
03:47 <arch> is it better to put the MOV *after* the common mode choke? i would think so, but some designs have the MOV directly across the fuse and neutral
03:49 <MrMobodies> I hear all sorts of things, and was advised not to touch it
04:14 <Ampera> I have a basic understanding of how and why it works
04:45 <MrMobodies> I wondered it if has anything to do with static energy
04:46 <Ampera> It's not really ghosts talking, rather it's simply, with the people you play it with, or even yourself, unconscious sort of nervous movements
04:57 <MrMobodies> aah the imagination
05:25 <Ampera> Sort of like a placebo in a way, where the belief that a supernatural will be contacted is reflected by the players into movements they don't even really know they're doing
05:50 <Ampera> your body moving in a way you're not expecting, especially when it's conflicting with the wonder if other people might be moving it too, is what adds to its mystic qualities
06:00 <arch> and i quote T3sl4 here: https://www.eevblog.com/forum/projects/place-mov-before-or-after-cm-choke/msg1357240/#msg1357240
06:02 <EEVBot> [Title] - Place MOV before or after CM choke? - Page 1
10:00 <MrMobodies> the mov before and after the choke... no differences in that thread

25:43 <T3sl4> buh
25:55 <Halcyon> Hello drunky
26:14 <Halcyon> How was karaoke?
27:26 <T3sl4> karaokey
28:40 <T3sl4> theres a few regulars that are just lovely, lots of 80-90s stuff, or older, or newer
28:45 <T3sl4> y'know
28:52 <Halcyon> What did you sing?
29:11 <T3sl4> lemme see, i opened with Monkey Wrench
30:19 <Halcyon> Good good!
31:14 <T3sl4> the buh is, walking back, i was actually stopped by, not just police but sheriff, apparently they're investigating gunshots heard in the area :/
31:52 <T3sl4> also heard/saw a drone flying over the pond, with some green and red lights, didn't check back to ask if that was theirs but i suppose so
33:14 <T3sl4> assuming, given it was sherriff not police, that it was a credible threat, so that's not great
33:34 <Halcyon> What's the difference between police and sherriffs?
33:43 <T3sl4> sheriff is county
33:50 <Halcyon> Oh right
33:57 <Halcyon> Seems like a bit of needless overlap ?
35:13 <T3sl4> shrug
36:23 <Halcyon> You Americans. You make me laugh
36:29 <T3sl4> i also made a point of exiting the path (not sure if the trail i was on technically closes, but the park around it does after hours), and also because the other side of the street where they were was better lit
37:07 <Halcyon> More importantly.... I want to hear you singing Monkey Wrench
37:21 <T3sl4> you don't want to be my monkey wrench
37:31 <Halcyon> You don't know that for sure
37:39 <T3sl4> (fall in, fall out)
40:31 <T3sl4> then i did Ozzy - Mama I'm Coming Home
41:08 <DHess_US> Halcyon, sheriffs are elected and within their jurisdiction, second in power to the governor.
41:25 <DHess_US> Or more powerful depending on the situation.
41:50 <DHess_US> Since a sheriff can ignore the governor.
