23:27 <Nothing\> yay
23:32 <Nothing\> i finally got c++ working
23:32 <electrohead> nay
23:36 * Ampera kisses Nothing\ 
23:40 <Nothing\> after 2 years and 3 computers
23:40 * electrohead films
23:52 <Ampera> you did what takes me literally five minutes in that amount of time
23:53 <Ampera> impressive
23:54 * Nothing\ affections Ampera 
23:54 <electrohead> Nothing\: what do you mean, you finally got c++ working?
24:06 <electrohead> Ampera: +1 lol
24:17 <Nothing\> Ampera, yeah but i'm not you
24:22 <Ampera> that's a shame
24:27 <Ampera> then I'd have a good reason to ban you
24:31 <Nothing\> so i don't see how you can compare two things which by their very nature are dissimilar
24:48 <Ampera> easily
24:48 <Nothing\> also you were a newb at one point too
24:49 <Ampera> I just did
24:51 <Ampera> apples are just like oranges
25:18 <Nothing\> so you ragging on me for being a newb instead of actually helping our encouraging my just shows you're a jackoff
25:31 <Ampera> I'm not ragging on you, I'm just having fun
25:34 <Nothing\> one of those peolpe who thinks they're superior to everyone
25:40 <Nothing\> Ampera, well you're the only one
25:43 <Ampera> but I am superior to everyone
25:45 <Nothing\> and i've made it clear to you that you are
25:48 <Nothing\> repeatedly
25:53 <Nothing\> and that i don't appreciate
25:54 <Nothing\> it
25:55 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
26:07 <Nothing\> yeah i can see that's what you think of my feelings
26:12 <Nothing\> some friend
26:48 <Nothing\> saying it's a joke doesn't give you free reign to act like a jerk
26:52 <Ampera> I'm just waiting to see if this is a bait or not
27:01 <Nothing\> that's like something jake paul would do
27:09 <Nothing\> it's not
27:13 <Nothing\> why the hell would it be?
27:22 <Nothing\> i've already made this abundantly fucking clear to you
27:23 <Ampera> because this is the sort of stuff I'd do to get a rise out of people
27:29 <Nothing\> dude
27:36 <Nothing\> i get that you do that to get a rise out of people
27:47 <Ampera> looks like it's working quite well too
27:52 <Nothing\> and that's all well and good, i'll joke like that just fine too
28:01 <Nothing\> but when you do it EVERY FUCKING TIME I TALK TO YOU
28:11 <Nothing\> i start to wonder how much truth their is to these so-called jokes
28:18 <Nothing\> *there
28:19 * electrohead grabs the popcorn
28:28 <Ampera> hand me some, electrohead
28:37 <Nothing\> Ampera, ignored
28:51 * electrohead dumps the popcorn on Ampera and Nothing\, then wears the bucket as a hat
28:51 <Nothing\> i can see you don't give two shits about me or what i'm saying
28:59 <Nothing\> which is the very definition of a toxic relationship
29:05 * Ampera launches into an epic drum solo on electrohead's hat
29:20 <Nothing\> anyways electrohead
29:24 <Nothing\> what've you been up to?
29:44 <Nothing\> any new games or projects or anything of that nature keeping you busy these days?
29:56 <Ampera> I think that might have just beat my losing a friend speedrun record
30:15 <Ampera> I wonder if there's a global leaderboard...
30:34 <electrohead> lol..
30:37 <electrohead> Nothing\: I'm alright, man
30:42 <electrohead> just doing the coffee thing
30:47 <Nothing\> you and me both
30:52 <Nothing\> well, iced cappuccino
31:00 <Nothing\> coffee's too caffeine rich for my blood
31:07 <Nothing\> and iced caps from tim hortons taste so good
31:13 <electrohead> heh
31:19 <electrohead> I always make my coffee strong as fuck
31:24 <Nothing\> they have this taste almost like chocolatey caramel, it's weird
31:28 <electrohead> it helps jump-start my colon :p
31:33 <Nothing\> heh i used to drink like 1-2 pots of coffee a day
31:47 <Nothing\> electrohead, being on opiates i need a bit more oomph to do that
32:05 <electrohead> You should try getting off of those, my friend
32:10 <Nothing\> so i take 2 different kinds of laxatives,but then for some reason even when i DO have to go, as soon as i sit down, the feeling's gone
32:27 <Nothing\> so i have to sorta hover around the toilet for an hour or so while everything works its way into position
32:37 <electrohead> lmfao..
32:39 <Nothing\> and then hope i've chosen the right time for optimal unloading
32:58 <Nothing\> otherwise i only crap out a tiny little golf ball and the rest goes back up inside of me lol
33:34 <Nothing\> it's so stupid though, i managed to (i thought) thoroughly clean myself out the other day, had like 4 full sized BMs throughout the day
33:44 <Nothing\> then the next morning, i feel just as blocked up as ever
34:16 <Nothing\> and the one day i swear it was pressing on my prostate or something. It really felt weird and unpleasant and as if i was going to ejaculate at any moment
34:20 <Nothing\> which was hell in the car
35:10 <Nothing\> made me half wonder if i'm getting prostatitis or something from not cleaning the pipes frequently enough. Cuz I know that'll do that to you, and can lead to prostate cancer. Or epidydimitis
36:10 <Nothing\> although i've had friends who got epidydimitis and they said it's like permanent blue-balls
36:50 <Nothing\> still of all those problems, nothing scares me more than testicular torsion
37:35 <Nothing\> as long as i can remember i was always worried about my balls getting tangled together, but learned there's a septum, or wall of flesh separating them inside the scrotum. But they can still get twisted around D:
51:29 <rust_collector> I think it is best to just snip them off, probably, then you don't have to worry about it
52:05 <rust_collector> unless you have some weird thing you use them for
53:01 <Nothing\> rust_collector, honestly if i could find a doctor to do that for me, i would do it very gladly
53:14 <Nothing\> that and the fact that i know being castrated probably wouldn't feel too great
53:34 <Nothing\> and for all intents and purposes, i'm chemically castrated anyways so it's close enough
53:58 <Nothing\> i never liked the term chemically castrated though
54:10 <Nothing\> it implies first that the person is made sterile, which they're not
54:21 <Nothing\> and second that it's permanent, which again it's not
55:03 <Nothing\> it's just basically giving a made estrogen type hormones and other drugs to both kill their sex drive and make erections/orgasms difficult or impossible to achieve
55:19 <Nothing\> *giving a man
56:00 <Nothing\> i actually heard recently that poland is mandating chemical castration for sex offenders now
56:26 <rust_collector> there has to be some kind of chemical, that will? If it is "proper" to give that to someone... it is probably illegal, but I think it probably exists
56:55 <Nothing\> rust_collector, yeah i think male birth control pills are like the holy grail of that industry
57:27 <Nothing\> but i can tell you, even being "chemically castrated" i have a whole host of nasty side effects from it
57:51 <Nothing\> for example, type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
58:07 <Nothing\> loss of muscle mass throughout my body
58:19 <Nothing\> increase in fat tissue, though not too bad thankfully
58:31 <Nothing\> i never developed full man tits like some guys do
58:43 <Nothing\> oh yeah, much as i'd hate to say it, my junk shrank too
58:45 <rust_collector> sure, but that is probably because you can stop taking those, and things will slide back to how they were. I am just almost sure there is something out there, that will shut it down, and keep it off
59:02 <Nothing\> rust_collector, actually i'm not taking anything, that's why i have these problems
59:20 <rust_collector> the male birth control pills, they are working on
59:22 <Nothing\> well, part of it is probably from the methadone, since that's what caused my low testosterone in the first place
59:43 <rust_collector> I think the issue is that they have to not destroy things
59:43 <Nothing\> but what caused it in me is i was getting testosterone shots for the low testosterone levels
00:20 <Nothing\> rust_collector, yeah i was actually thinking the only way they could really stop production of sperm is to cause damage to something that's responsible for sperm production
00:55 <Nothing\> but anyways, my testosterone shots were putting my levels way too high
01:27 <Nothing\> so i went off of that because i was tired of obsessing over sex constantly, and the legal problems i had, it would look good if i went off of it
01:56 <Nothing\> but then you go off of testosterone suddenly like that, you get a huge rebound effect because your body stops producting its own testerone
02:05 <rust_collector> send them over here. I can probably use some, lol
02:13 <Nothing\> i'm not sure why it lasts so long but my doctor said it's gonna be a life-long issue
02:41 <Nothing\> i checked my testosterone levels a few weeks ago and it was 65
02:52 <Nothing\> where the lowest normal level for a male is around 180
03:08 <rust_collector> I probably got mine checked, when I was 18, I have no idea
03:57 <Nothing\> i don't think they usually check it in non-old people unless they have a reason to check it as in my case
04:00 <Nothing\> ie. being on methadone
04:30 <Nothing\> but that's just speculation
04:43 <rust_collector> they did a lot of tests, when we are sent to the army. I have no idea.
04:52 <rust_collector> it is not like they told us anything
08:09 <rust_collector> same with all the shots we got. I have no idea what they were.
12:41 <Nothing\> ah that makes sense
13:17 <Nothing\> rust_collector, i remember in the UK army they recruited some soldiers to do some testing on a "potential treatment for the common cold"
13:34 <rust_collector> I just assume that was one of the tests they did.... I know nothing
13:46 <Nothing\> where scientists would put a few drops of a liquid on the soldier's clothing and observe the effects
13:56 <Nothing\> the liquid they were testing on the soldiers was sarin
14:13 <Nothing\> they pushed the dosage up so high that there was even a fatality from it
14:23 <Nothing\> and several incidents with severe reactions
15:05 <Nothing\> rust_collector, i've always wondered if the local hospital did some sort of experiment on me one time when i was there
15:44 <rust_collector> well, you will probably never know, lol
16:19 <Nothing\> i overdosed on sleeping pills and booze. I just remember taking the first few sleeping pills before sunset. Then my next memory is being in 4 point restraints, strapped to a bed in a plain white room with a clock that said 7:30am
16:44 <rust_collector> 4 days later? lol
16:46 <Nothing\> long story short, they let me go eventually
16:53 <Nothing\> lol no it was just the next day
17:07 <rust_collector> ....they told you... suuure
17:09 <Nothing\> but anyways, when i came out of it i had this weird mark on the bottom of my forearm
17:48 <Nothing\> it looked like the skin had turned to the consistency of plastic and had become dented, like somebody put the leg of a chair on my arm or a zippo and pressed down on it
18:15 <Nothing\> it was the same general size and shape as a zippo, but with my rounded corners
18:37 <Nothing\> but anyways, over the next 2 or so weeks, the skin that looked like plastic slowly fell off
18:38 <rust_collector> maybe they had a strap there?
18:45 <Nothing\> that's actually what i was thinking
18:55 <Nothing\> that maybe it was a pinch injury
19:05 <Nothing\> but you'd think they'd make the straps so they can't do that
19:28 <rust_collector> yeah, or if you are strapped down, and you turn the arm, it will cause a little bure pretty easily
19:30 <Nothing\> but anyways, after the skin all fell off it just left this deep, gaping ulceration
19:41 <Nothing\> which for some reason took 5 months to heal completely
19:55 <Nothing\> if not for the initial presentation, i would havethought it was a burn
20:08 <Nothing\> but there was no blistering or anything you normally get with burns
20:33 <Nothing\> but i have numb spots in the scar where nerve endings on the surface were killed, just like on a burn
20:47 <rust_collector> friction burns suck. I dunno?
21:00 <Nothing\> yeah it's baffling
21:23 <Nothing\> i mean i've had at least half a dozen 2nd/3rd degree burns that were more than a few inches in size
21:35 <Nothing\> so i know how a burn presents
21:58 <Nothing\> though i've never had one of those full thickness burns where the skin's charred and that
22:18 <Nothing\> maybe with enough heat, the skin become hard like plastic like that
22:19 <rust_collector> sure, but there is a difference between something hot burning you, and something "cold" twisting
22:34 <Nothing\> it wasn't really cold
22:49 <Nothing\> but in terms of the injury, aside from the initial presentation, no abosutely not
22:54 <rust_collector> it does not take much heat, to make "plastic" skin. a soldering iron is more than enough
23:22 <Nothing\> i've had severe pinch injuries and like i said, aside from the initial presentation, the skin still fell off and left an ulceration just like this thing on my forearm and just like a burn would
23:23 <rust_collector> cold, as in room temp, as I assume they do not heat up the straps?
23:37 <Nothing\> i just don't remember what the skin was like before it became ulcerated
23:49 <Nothing\> rust_collector, that's what i thought you meant
23:55 <Nothing\> just had to make sure
24:18 <Nothing\> but yeah i was thinking yesterday if it was an experiment, they'd probably want to follow up
24:23 <Nothing\> even if by some pretense
24:44 <rust_collector> hehe, my cousin once slid along a felt floor. he was not very pretty after that
24:50 <Nothing\> and i read through the ER report to understand what happened during the time i don't remember
24:59 <Nothing\> and there wasn't anything suspicious or redacted in it
25:14 <Nothing\> slid along the floor?
25:33 <Nothing\> i just picture sliding on your belly down a hall with an overly waxed floor
25:49 <Nothing\> like shuffleboard or curling
26:03 <Nothing\> man i want a shuffleboard table
26:12 <rust_collector> yeah. it was in my grandpas basement, we had some weird round furniture things, which we laid on the side, and rolled across them.
26:21 <Nothing\> we used to have one in the 80's. I dunno what happened to it.
26:34 <rust_collector> so he rolled too fast, and slid along the felt, lol
26:41 <Nothing\> lol
26:48 <Nothing\> somehow i never got hurt bad as a kid
27:17 <rust_collector> not me either. just some broken toes, and I cut my thumb off one time
27:34 <Nothing\> the worst two injuries i recall were when i was like 5, running through a sprinkler at my grandparents' house and i stepped on a piece of cactus that was on the ground from one of their plants
27:54 <Nothing\> i just remember my mom having to hold me while my grandfather pulled each needle out with pliers
28:42 <Nothing\> oh yeah, when i was 2 or 3 in preschool i tripped and split my forehead on a step with one of those metal linings to give you extra grip on the corner
29:01 <Nothing\> that wasn't bad, just 2 stitches. But it was the only time i ever needed stitches as a kid
29:30 <Nothing\> then the other injury that really sticks out is i used to run up to the monkey bars, then jump up and grab them.
29:53 <Nothing\> but this time when i grabbed them, my grip slipped and i fell on back and knocked the wind out of me
30:08 <Nothing\> which has to be one of the worst feelings every. Literally feels like your dying.
30:14 <rust_collector> someone should put super quick glue on those bars
30:24 <Nothing\> i wonder if anybody's actually died from having the wind knocked out of them
30:57 <rust_collector> probably, because people die for all kinds of random reasons
31:01 <Nothing\> i mean, if you're exerting yourself heavily enough, and your muscles are spasming for 3 or 4 minutes, that could potentially be long enough to at least cause brain damage
31:30 <Nothing\> yeah i used to be scared of how seemingly easy people can die
32:25 <Nothing\> but my experiences with drugs and talking to literally > 1000 drug users over the course of 20 has made me realize the human body can take a LOT more abuse than most people realize
32:26 <rust_collector> that is why it is very rase that I try to almost kill someone
32:46 <Nothing\> lol i remember when i was a kid, i loved the taste of children's chewable tylenol
32:58 <Nothing\> so one day i faked a headache just so i could get a couple of them
33:17 <Nothing\> then spent the whole day worrying that i'd overdosed because i took tylenol when i didn't need it
33:55 <Nothing\> fast forward 10 years and i'm taking the equivalent of 20 tylenols worth of percocet in a night
34:12 <Nothing\> which is definitely a good way to destroy your liver
36:06 <Nothing\> man i'm so glad to have a working c++ ide/compiler now
36:12 <Nothing\> those online compilers are crap
37:08 <Nothing\> ah man
39:44 <Nothing\> you hear about this new spacex mission they're working on
39:55 <Nothing\> the entire crew is going to made up of civilians
40:00 <Nothing\> no professional astronauts
40:25 <Nothing\> netflix is doing a documentary about it
40:39 <rust_collector> uuh, they are out in space, I think?
40:44 <Nothing\> yup
40:50 <Nothing\> that's true actually
40:56 <Nothing\> they should be returning soon, shouldn't they?
41:17 <rust_collector> probably. I think they were supposed to be there for 3 days
41:28 <Nothing\> yup
41:29 <rust_collector> and I think they have been there a day or 3
41:34 <Nothing\> and i heard yesterday was day 2
41:52 <Nothing\> good to know everything's going alright, presumably
42:02 <Nothing\> i'd assume we'd hear about it otherwise
42:10 <Nothing\> one thing about the spacex suits though
42:14 <Nothing\> wtf is with the boots?
42:16 <rust_collector> I don't really follow space stuff that much. I just heard it on the radio
42:29 <rust_collector> boots are good.
42:42 <Nothing\> the space suits for spacex use these weird looking knee-high boots

43:29 <Nothing\> it looks like something out of a 50's sci-fi
43:41 <Ampera> good morning
43:42 <rust_collector> that could be it...
43:45 <Ampera> how are you rust_collector
43:49 <Nothing\> i mean, do they really NEED the knee-high leather boots?
44:01 <rust_collector> sorry Ampera I still exist
44:18 <Ampera> that's good
44:20 <Nothing\> it looks like they just slide on and off so they're not even required for making it airtight
44:27 <Nothing\> aeosuntadeiosadoie
44:33 <Nothing\> now i wanna play KSP
44:33 <rust_collector> Nothing\ they probably could use toe-socks, but why not?
44:36 <Ampera> if you didn't exist, I'd have to get off my ass, run into purgatory, and pull you back into existence
44:45 <rust_collector> NOOO!
44:57 <rust_collector> that would be the wrong place anyway
45:01 <Ampera> hell?
45:01 <Nothing\> rust_collector, you know i've been saying for like a year now that they need to bring a cat up to the USS
45:05 <Nothing\> *ISS
45:07 <Ampera> I mean you live in Norway, that's already hell
45:09 <Nothing\> for moral support
45:20 <Ampera> so idk where else you'd be
45:23 <Nothing\> like how having a pet at retirement homes makes them happier
45:39 <Nothing\> having a cat floating around the ISS would provide a much needed boost to morale, i think
45:56 <Nothing\> you'd just have to figure out the literbox situation
46:04 <rust_collector> retirement homes don't fly off out into space, is someone pees
46:15 <Nothing\> sometimes they do
46:18 <Nothing\> you just have to
46:21 <Nothing\> BELIEVE
46:36 <rust_collector> mmhmm
47:51 <rust_collector> Imo, they should bring a case of hand grenades. just leave it sitting there
49:41 <rust_collector> Ampera there is no hell in the system I follow. there is a hell near trondheim airport... but that is maybe not the one I would be sent to when I die
49:55 <Ampera> maybe it is
50:07 <rust_collector> yes, but probably not
50:08 <Ampera> you get to spend eternity in an airport terminal waiting for a flight that will never arrive
50:41 <rust_collector> that is the feeling I get in any airport, after 9-11 anyway
51:15 <Ampera> you don't like being touched by someone your same gender who is very obviously not straight?
51:18 <Ampera> wow
51:22 <Ampera> how homophobic
51:53 <rust_collector> I tend to go on the crew side, lol. not very often there are such checks there
52:13 <rust_collector> even if I am sure many of them wish there was, lol
52:24 <Ampera> who wouldn't want to be felt up at work
52:34 <Ampera> oh wait...
53:12 <rust_collector> that work from home thing did not really work out for you, did it?
53:30 <Ampera> oh it's working great
53:33 <Ampera> they don't want me to come back
53:35 <Ampera> for some reason
54:43 <rust_collector> but no "bumping into" you in the elevator, or...
55:28 <Ampera> I never used the elevator
55:34 <Ampera> it's a lot more fun bumping into people on the stairs
55:39 <Ampera> for me anyways
55:44 <rust_collector> no wonder you have no friends
56:11 <rust_collector> they just wear out, if you send them down the stairs
56:11 <Ampera> you saying that somehow hurt me more than the actual knowledge that I have no friends
56:13 Quit: steve30 ([email protected]) Connection closed
56:53 <rust_collector> oh well. you should be old enough to learn that the easter bunny is real
57:00 <Ampera> it is
57:02 <Ampera> I have her in a cage
57:04 <Ampera> in the other room
57:08 <Ampera> her name is Zoey
57:32 <rust_collector> hmm, interesting name
57:40 <Ampera> I did not pick it

57:57 <rust_collector> I figured, I said it was interesting
58:45 <Ampera> have been moving the websites for a person we host for
58:51 <Ampera> we told them that we would be moving it before 2PM
59:15 <Ampera> and then in the same chat, when we said their sites would be down for 30 minutes or so, they were upset wondering why it wasn't 2PM yet
59:23 <Ampera> because apparently they couldn't read any thought we were going to do it at 2PM
02:16 <rust_collector> sounds good
04:56 <rust_collector> text is not easy, these days
05:29 <rust_collector> maybe you should make a little powerpoint thing, and explain it to them, next time

47:09 <DHess_US> <Nothing\> it looks like something out of a 50's sci-fi
47:19 <DHess_US> Still waiting for the form fitting elastic activity type suit.
47:29 <DHess_US> That will be even more like the 50s or 60s.

10:29 <Nothing\> lol DHess_US
10:52 <Nothing\> it just sounds like a spandex starfleet academy uniform
15:17 <DHess_US> That is pretty much what it is. Your skin can hold up to a vacuum. It is tough enough but has too much elasticity, and if exposed, sweating provides the needed cooling.
15:34 <DHess_US> Real space suits need active cooling; you don't freeze in space.
19:28 <DHess_US> So you need something like a wetsuit to apply pressure to the skin, but it should be porous to allow sweat through.
23:46 <Nothing\> active cooling so you don't freeze?
23:59 <Nothing\> lol i think something was lost in translation there between your brain and fingers
24:13 <Nothing\> i hate it when that happens
24:28 <rust_collector> uhm, try reading it again
25:16 <Nothing\> ah okay
25:49 <rust_collector> I would need my knitted socks in space
27:17 <DHess_US> Hollywood always shows people freezing when exposed to space. It doesn't work that way.
28:08 <rust_collector> but it makes sense. they probably do not want people floating around in space, having fun. so they make it seem like a bad thing
28:09 <DHess_US> At human body temperatures, heat is lost through convection and conduction, which are zero in space, and radiation only becomes significant at higher temperatures.
28:38 <DHess_US> So space suits have active cooling using a fluid like water.
28:53 <DHess_US> The inside is laced with tubes filled with water.
29:41 <DHess_US> If you skin is exposed, then evaporation will keep you cool.
32:26 <Nothing\> i wonderauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
35:58 <rust_collector> skin is too elastic? so... you would get wrinkles, if you spent too much time, naked in space?
38:02 <Nothing\> oh lol rust_collector
38:17 <Nothing\> have you heard that pfizer's rebranding their COVID vaccine-
38:37 <Nothing\> now they're calling it "cohmirnity"
39:18 <Nothing\> pronounced co-mur-nit-ee
39:34 <Nothing\> cuz people will remember that
41:09 <rust_collector> nope, but then again, I think I will get help, if I go ask for vaccine, lol
43:36 <DHess_US> <rust_collector> skin is too elastic? so... you would get wrinkles, if you spent too much time, naked in space?
43:41 <DHess_US> No, edema
44:04 <DHess_US> And of course you need compression across your chest to breath.
44:24 <Nothing\> DHess_US, which ironically is produced by a vacuum
44:32 <DHess_US> The area under the skin fills with fluid, like having a blister.
44:38 <Nothing\> or at least the expansion is
44:43 <rust_collector> the space porn industry will run into some issues, I think
44:52 <DHess_US> Yea, not enough leverage.
44:59 <Nothing\> i bet peolpe have already done it in space
45:10 <DHess_US> If so, nobody is admitting it.
45:36 <Nothing\> my worry would be somebody fapping and having a big glob of cum floating around the space station
45:48 <Nothing\> until it ends up in a vent and clogs it
45:56 <Nothing\> then 3 days later they notice an unholy smell
47:37 <Nothing\> man i've got this sodium acetate i've been trying to dry for like a week now
48:10 <Nothing\> it's taking so long though cuz it has the consistency of paste. So only the very outside layer is drying out
50:21 <rust_collector> spread it out, until it is just a thin layer? maybe on glass or something? what are you going to use that for anyway?
57:26 <Nothing\> yeah that's what i was thinking
57:43 <rust_collector> throw it on the window?
58:06 <Nothing\> right now it's just in a rather glass about 1.25in high and 3in in diameter give or take
02:51 <Nothing\> lol the battery on my exercise bike leaked and corroded the 2x AA holder. So I desoldered it, intending to put the other 2x AA holder I have here.
03:33 <Nothing\> and for some reason the batteries in that leaked, too
04:28 <Nothing\> even though they were ogood, duracell ones
05:41 <rust_collector> I think you are the last nerdy person left in the world, that is saying duracell is good
07:58 <rust_collector> there is that duracell industrial, or professional, or something like that, But I am not sure if they are much different, or not. I have only had one of those.
27:23 <DHess_US> Lol, https://portwell.com/products/detail.php?CUSTCHAR1=PEB-9783G2AR

09:07 <MrMobodies> Hello
09:35 <MrMobodies> Anyone suffers from vision problems?
12:28 <DHess_US> I'm been nearsighted for decades, and now my eyes are old also.
12:58 <rust_collector> problems... well, I don't see as good as I used to, lol

16:21 <EEVBot> [Title] - Youtube: A video about how after images/palinopsia looks like.
18:33 <MrMobodies> if I move my hand and there is light on it and the background is dark
18:46 <DHess_US> The nice thing about being nearsighted when you get old is that you can read *without* your glasses.
18:47 <MrMobodies> I'd see another edge of the hand (bright bits) behind it
19:07 <MrMobodies> do you think I got CJD or some kind of brain tumor?
19:22 <MrMobodies> it is not hallucinary but illusionary
19:53 <MrMobodies> https://files.list.co.uk/images/p/palinopsiagraphicweb.jpg
19:57 <MrMobodies> but it is by contrast
20:01 <MrMobodies> difference
20:11 <MrMobodies> and the shiny bits are blue in colour
20:25 <MrMobodies> I was at the pub DJ and they had these led lights that change colour
20:39 <MrMobodies> when I look rapidly away with my eyes how shake my head
20:45 <MrMobodies> Id see a line of the led
20:50 <MrMobodies> with all different colours
21:35 <MrMobodies> like light blue = Green------red--green------red------green for a split second
21:51 <MrMobodies> does anyone hear have that problem and do you think it might be serious?
21:59 <MrMobodies> I reported it in 2019 before I moved
22:11 <MrMobodies> I was suppose to see a specialist but Covid came
22:19 <MrMobodies> and the lockdown happen now it is progressing a bit
22:30 <MrMobodies> Do you think I have anything to worry about?
22:55 <rust_collector> no, but you shoudl probably have someone look at it, it you are worried about it
27:47 <MrMobodies> I had 8 blood tests in 2019 when I saw my gp
27:52 <MrMobodies> oh 9 sorry
28:24 <MrMobodies> and I wonder whether that would included diseases such as tuberculosis
28:28 <MrMobodies> they found nothing
29:01 <MrMobodies> I wonder is it because I stare at a screen all the time
29:13 <MrMobodies> or at screens and they are very dim but still
30:03 <MrMobodies> what is strange thought I am able to see well in the dark
30:07 <MrMobodies> like on my way home
30:31 <MrMobodies> I could even see the potholes without any light through the private driveway where there are no street lights
30:41 <MrMobodies> but not vision artifacts there

48:07 <MrMobodies> Oh yes I did but the blood test was apart of it
48:12 <MrMobodies> for blood poisoning
48:23 <MrMobodies> I had a specialist who ran some other tests on my eye
48:27 <MrMobodies> and no problems
48:31 <MrMobodies> so I was due for a brain scan
54:43 <Ampera> Hello, MrMobodies
54:44 <EEVBot> Hello, Ampera!
54:48 <Ampera> How are you doing
56:49 <MrMobodies> Hello
56:59 <MrMobodies> I was at the Local pub on their karoke thing
57:04 <Ampera> nice
57:10 <MrMobodies> I thought the speaker they used this time was mono but it wasn't
57:12 <Ampera> I just got back from meeting a relative I had never met before
57:14 <MrMobodies> they have speakers on the sides
57:17 <Ampera> was at their place for 7 hours, excellent people
57:24 <MrMobodies> that's nice
57:33 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/KuyRL2Y.jpg
57:43 <MrMobodies> they loved the sound quality
57:44 <Ampera> oh that's really cool
57:52 <Ampera> presumably that's not you
57:55 <MrMobodies> I told them it is the SRS3D effect from the sound card
57:56 <MrMobodies> nope
58:03 <MrMobodies> that's Wwayne the bar owner
58:14 <Ampera> hah
58:51 <MrMobodies> when the karaoke stopped for a bit he switched it to his iphone, vis bluetooth on the spaker there
58:54 <MrMobodies> and it sounded horrible
59:10 <MrMobodies> so I'll buy him a bluetooth dac so it can be connected to the sound card dac
59:25 <MrMobodies> everyone was noticing how tinny it was when he switched it over
59:45 <MrMobodies> but everything is fixable especially for that
00:06 <MrMobodies> there was an issue with the WIFI very weak in that part of the building
00:38 <MrMobodies> I thought it was the wifi link from the secondary module to the Draytek router doing the belkin USB hub to the usb sound card
00:59 <MrMobodies> there were folks who loved it so much they decided to sing with the microphone
01:08 <MrMobodies> nice to keep people happy
01:27 <MrMobodies> I rarely meet my relatives
01:38 <MrMobodies> the last time i saw them was in 2008 when they came over from Canada
01:50 <Ampera> Really cool stuff you're doing, I wish I had people like that to set up gear for
01:59 <Ampera> Most of my relatives live in Connecticut, Maine, or Germane
02:01 <Ampera> er, Germany
02:13 <Ampera> This one just happened to live in NY for the last 20 years, and we only just now got around to meeting each other
02:20 <MrMobodies> ooh Germany
02:39 <Ampera> indeed, I'm half German
02:41 <Ampera> have citizenship too
03:11 <MrMobodies> that's nice, I think of Germans as being perfect with the things they do and design
03:19 <Ampera> hahahaha
03:23 <rust_collector> lol
03:23 <MrMobodies> Audi, Sebo Hoovers
03:32 <MrMobodies> Graef kettles Kasserwocher things
03:34 <rust_collector> double lol
03:57 <MrMobodies> tey blow steam out at 90 degress not up the cabinet like many british keetles do
04:00 <Ampera> Idk, I mostly see Germany as a home I never lived in
04:38 <MrMobodies> oooh Battery chargers, Conrad Charge manager
04:46 <Ampera> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/846178000722853898/886732524968108062/20210912_175819.jpg
04:49 <MrMobodies> That was built and came from Germany
04:51 <Ampera> I bought a new kettle recently
04:52 <Ampera> it's blue
05:02 <Ampera> our kettles suck though
05:06 <Ampera> this is only a 1100W kettle
05:24 <MrMobodies> glass kettle
05:29 <MrMobodies> looks good
05:36 <Ampera> I think it was 5 bucks more than the full plastic one
05:43 <Ampera> it makes tea just fine
05:46 <MrMobodies> oooh it's for tea
05:51 <Ampera> btw, I need to send you some of our tea
05:55 <MrMobodies> put the teat in the centre thng
05:56 <Ampera> aye, I drink it quite frequently
06:02 <Ampera> You can, though I don't use it for that yet
06:03 <MrMobodies> okay
06:05 <Ampera> most of my tea is in bags
06:26 <Ampera> this photo I took when I was running it for the first time, so I just wanted the infuser in there to get boiled
06:36 <Ampera> you wouldn't put it in there until after you've boiled the water
06:55 <MrMobodies> it's looks nicely built
07:05 <Ampera> It is actually quite nice
07:15 <Ampera> at least until it goes on the floor, shatters, and gets glass everywhere
07:42 <MrMobodies> I once had a Brita filter that was glass I took it to work fell over and that smashed
07:59 <MrMobodies> I fell over a pothole and they stopped making them glass
08:28 <MrMobodies> Shiny toaster too
09:31 <MrMobodies> oh and the leds are not too bright
09:42 <MrMobodies> I have seen some of them are so bright they could light up a whole room
09:50 <MrMobodies> I like the blue illumination
10:09 <MrMobodies> and you could get your hand in their to clean it easily
12:28 <Ampera> Aye, it's a decent kettle
12:31 <Ampera> quite big, 1.8L
12:48 <MrMobodies> bigger than mine
13:01 <MrMobodies> but a lot of tea from that
14:08 <Ampera> I usually make right around 500ml of tea in the morning
14:11 <MrMobodies> bet that would give you a lovely tea scent when that is going.
14:20 <Ampera> oh I don't doubt it
14:25 <Ampera> though most of my loose leaf tea is fairly plain
14:27 <MrMobodies> oh sorry if the was in there oops
14:47 <Ampera> No I didn't say that, I just meant to say I don't make that much tea in one go
14:53 <Ampera> I'd probably be pissing like a racehorse
15:14 <MrMobodies> you have coffee too?
15:51 <MrMobodies> actually I am feeling a bit ill... I have too much sparkling water with lemon a couple of coffee's and i went to toilet quite a bit
16:17 <MrMobodies> maybe too much acid
16:44 <Ampera> Coffee makes me nauseous
16:49 <Ampera> so that's why I prefer tea
16:51 <MrMobodies> oh it was someone's birthday but the brought in a cake there
16:52 <MrMobodies> oooh
17:11 <MrMobodies> "affected with nausea; feeling inclined to vomit."
17:34 <MrMobodies> i think Dave Jones said he didn't like coffee too
17:48 <MrMobodies> when he found that coffee machine and did a teardown on it some years ago
18:08 <MrMobodies> and someone told me it can be quite bad in large amounts
18:13 <MrMobodies> so I have to be a bit careful
18:17 <MrMobodies> not to drink too much
18:26 <MrMobodies> they were teaching me how to dance
18:44 <MrMobodies> like they wanted me to dance with them and I didn't know nothing about dancing
18:57 <MrMobodies> I was just there to listen to the sound cards and adjust them
19:05 <MrMobodies> it's my obsession and hobby
19:18 <MrMobodies> but very nice people there
19:32 <MrMobodies> and served us all with a bit of cake made by a local
19:43 <MrMobodies> for someone's birthday
19:51 <MrMobodies> he is plumber and just turned 50
20:28 <Ampera> I love black teas
20:29 <Ampera> all sorts of blends
20:49 <Ampera> earl grey, english breakfast, some nice ones I have with peach, chai, and orange spice flavorings
22:07 <MrMobodies> what about spicy tea what's the name... Lapsung?

22:26 <EEVBot> [Title] - ERROR: The request could not be satisfied
23:14 <Ampera> Never had that
23:22 <Ampera> Is it black tea?
23:30 <MrMobodies> it's a bit like wood smell
23:32 <MrMobodies> yes
23:37 <MrMobodies> without the milk
23:37 <Ampera> smoked black tea it says
23:40 <Ampera> that'd be interesting
23:54 <Ampera> I actually have a package of Twining's english breakfast which I had once, and liked
24:04 <Ampera> it was a bit of an unfair test of it though, as I used maple syrup to sweeten, and I used a bit too much
24:08 <Ampera> so it tasted mostly of maple
24:18 <Ampera> so I should try it again with my standard honey
24:40 <MrMobodies> when I get it next I'll send some over for you
25:15 <Ampera> Oh that'd be appreciated. I can also go to a local store which has a lot of brands of tea and send you some stuff
25:29 <Ampera> They have tons of tea made by Stash, and they have some very good flavors
25:38 <Ampera> jspiros in the other channel is a good fan of theirs too
25:48 <Ampera> Do you tend to prefer black, green, or herbal teas?
25:51 <Ampera> or are you good with most things
26:01 <MrMobodies> more herbal
26:08 <MrMobodies> and spicy
27:38 <Ampera> interesting
27:53 <Ampera> Spicy as in spiced, or actually spicy?
28:01 <MrMobodies> both
28:06 <Ampera> alright, I can work with that
28:20 <Ampera> I'll assemble a package. Anything else you might want from here, or should I just give you some goodies?
30:31 <MrMobodies> oh thanks
58:11 <MrMobodies> I forgot I had kebab earlier
58:39 <MrMobodies> with the lots sparkling water with lemon and some coffee's
58:48 <MrMobodies> I think I upset my stomach a bit
59:07 <MrMobodies> had a bit of milk to try and neutralize it a bit
59:33 <MrMobodies> I don't feel right and uncomofortable feeling with my stomach
13:55 * Halcyon spices up Ampera
14:02 * Ampera licks Halcyon
14:03 <Ampera> mmm
14:08 <Ampera> tastes like cute cancer
17:07 <Halcyon> You're weird
17:25 <Halcyon> I'm creating a new recipe
17:29 <Halcyon> But you won't like is Ampera
17:32 <Halcyon> *it
17:39 <Ampera> does it involve racism?
17:49 <Halcyon> Vegetables
22:02 <Ampera> but you're a vegetable and I like you
22:31 <Halcyon> I'm the only one
22:58 <Ampera> you're right, the only other one I can think of is our president, and I'm not a huge fan of him I must say
23:17 <Halcyon> Yeh so I know you're not interested but you can listen to me anyway...
24:06 <Halcyon> I'm deconstructing an off-the-shelf product which I found really tasty, but I'm not paying $3 for what is essentially a small pot of cauliflower, zucchini, capsicum, corn, onion, beans and quinoa.
24:18 <Halcyon> When I can just make a big batch myself out of said ingredients.
25:53 <Halcyon> Oh and there is white wine vinegar in it too, which makes it nummy
32:19 <Ampera> I am currently mass deleting files on a wiki
32:33 <Ampera> well, mass deleting pages, because to delete files on a wiki, you must delete the page
32:39 <Halcyon> Right
33:04 <Ampera> some fucking genius who started a spongebob wiki we are now tasked with hosting decided to create gallery pages containing 200 images from each episode of spongebob
33:08 <Ampera> big fat PNG images too
33:17 <Halcyon> \o/
33:26 <Ampera> despite having only 300 articles, it's 20GB larger than our largest wiki which has thousands
33:48 <Ampera> so after having told them to knock it the fuck off, I'm starting work on deleting all these gallery images
33:52 <Ampera> and there are /thousands/
33:59 <Ampera> mediawiki has a batch delete script, but it seems pretty slow
34:16 <Ampera> it's also a big effort to simply construct the list of pages for it to delete in the first place
35:12 * Halcyon pokes Ampera multiple times in the shoulder without saying anything... just because...
35:25 * Ampera kisses Halcyon like the slut he is
35:42 <Halcyon> \o
35:49 <Halcyon> Dammit, I'm missing an arm
35:53 <Halcyon> But YAY nonetheless
36:02 <Ampera> do you drink tea?
36:06 <Halcyon> I do drink tea
36:12 <Ampera> do you do it much?
36:27 <Ampera> as I could put together a package for you while I'm doing it to mobodies
36:31 <Ampera> *to -> for
36:34 <Halcyon> Yeh I mostly have it at work. Maybe 1 or 2 a day when I'm in the office
36:37 <Ampera> idk if you guys have stash brand there
36:39 <Halcyon> Otherwise at home, I don't generally
36:40 <Ampera> it's my favorite
36:49 <Halcyon> Stash? No, never heard of it.
36:57 <Halcyon> Although like my coffee, I'm a bit of a tea snob.
36:58 <Ampera> It's a US brand, but they have nice varieties
37:08 <Halcyon> I buy the full leaf stuff if it's black tea
37:13 <Ampera> I'd be getting you teabags as opposed to loose leaf
37:23 <Ampera> as that's what stash makes
37:35 <Halcyon> I'm googling
37:48 <Ampera> They have good blends, and I'm perfectly happy with the quality of their tea
37:57 <Halcyon> Mmm looks nice, lots of delicious flavours
38:01 <Ampera> indeed
38:09 <Ampera> my local store has most of them, so if you have specific requests
38:19 <Ampera> my favorite is double bergamot earl grey
38:31 <Halcyon> I do like peach
38:38 <Halcyon> Any citrus fruit I like
38:58 <Halcyon> Not a big fan of the sweeter stuff like vanilla
39:01 <Ampera> their peach black tea is delicious
39:15 <Ampera> orange spice is also delicious, so is their chai spice (both black teas)
39:19 <Halcyon> Mango passionfruit sounds amazing
39:27 <Ampera> I haven't had much of their herbal or green teas, but I do have a bunch
39:42 <Ampera> I've mostly been sticking to black tea, as I prefer to have it with milk and sweetner
39:51 <Halcyon> I'm easy. Basically if it's any kind of berry, stonefruit, melon or citrus, I'll like it
39:55 <Ampera> and people look at you weird if you try that with green tea
40:06 <Ampera> you'll like basically everything they make then
40:22 <Ampera> I have yet to have a tea of theirs I didn't like
40:41 <Halcyon> Probably. As I said, I generally don't like things like vanilla or lavender in tea
40:59 <Halcyon> Or Dandelion
41:04 <Ampera> I don't even think I have any of those, but I'll make sure not to get you any of that
41:06 <Ampera> if they have any
41:16 <Halcyon> :D
41:21 <Ampera> Next time I'm at that store I'll buy them out of tea
41:22 <Ampera> :P
41:24 <Halcyon> That would be very sweet of you to send me something
41:37 <Ampera> I enjoy doing it
41:48 <Ampera> right up until I go to ship it and see how much the USPS charges for international shipping q.q
41:56 <Ampera> but I'll do it anyways, because I love you and hate money
42:03 <Halcyon> I'll have to return the favour. There are some chips (crisps) and crackers which they have just brought back from the 1990's
42:09 <Halcyon> They taste exactly as they did back then
43:37 <Halcyon> Tasty Toobs are like this weird tomato-y, spicy kind of snack. But they apparently will only be available for 6 months
44:45 <Ampera> interesting
00:29 <Halcyon> I had a little nap

08:39 <Nothing\> mmmm corned beef hash
08:47 <Nothing\> never had it before but i'm an instant fan
09:21 <Nothing\> it reminds me sort of of the filling in a stuffed pepper or cabbage roll, minus the rice
11:21 <Nothing\> and MUCH more salt
11:39 <Nothing\> not the best food to eat when you're dehydrated lol
16:02 <T3sl4> Halcyon: https://i.imgur.com/zLtc1DY.jpg
17:11 <Nothing\> hey T3sl4
17:16 * T3sl4 hugs Nothing\
17:24 * Nothing\ power hugs T3sl4 <3
17:37 <Nothing\> how are you, buddy?
17:43 <T3sl4> good
17:51 <Nothing\> good to hear
18:23 <Nothing\> speaking of which i should take my meds
18:31 <Nothing\> else i won't be feeling very good much longer
18:40 * steve30 is unstuffing stuff on the G5
19:10 <Nothing\> heya steveo
19:30 <Nothing\> G5, that some sort of mobile device?
19:37 <Nothing\> oh holy crap
19:43 <steve30> a PowerPC processor
19:43 <Nothing\> there's a lady bug on my salt
19:50 <Nothing\> this won't do at all
20:13 <Nothing\> can't have transexual beetles trying to steal my salt
21:27 <Nothing\> lol i tried to catch it in a tissue and throw it outside to fly away gracefully, but it just fell to the ground like a rock. And made a similar sound.
22:38 <Nothing\> you guys ever see that old video where it's this kid at some sort of ceremony, a funeral or something, and him and a bunch of other kids are holding white doves to be released at a certain cue. The cue comes and the kid proudly throws his dove up into the air.
23:12 <Nothing\> Then its lifeless body immediately plummets back to the ground and lies there in a pathetic, crushed heap.
23:44 <Nothing\> the kid was so nervous he crushed the damn thing to death.
24:04 <T3sl4> aaaaaand childhood trauma
24:31 <Nothing\> T3sl4, for most kids yeah, but if it were my brother or me we'd have just laughed about it.
25:22 <Nothing\> like when i was maybe 3 and he was 8 we had these goldfish who decided to cannabilize each other
25:59 <Nothing\> after several days of waking up to find fish guts floating in the bowl and one less fish, there were two left
26:07 <T3sl4> https://imgur.com/70I8Jht
26:08 <EEVBot> [Title] - Imgur: The magic of the Internet
26:11 <Nothing\> when we woke up, there was half a fish left, the head bit
26:16 <Nothing\> and it was still happily alive
26:27 <Nothing\> though it died a few days later
26:58 <Nothing\> it just reminds me of all of these videos i've been seeing lately about fish with catastrophic injuries who don't seem the wiser or seem to care about them.
27:23 <Nothing\> like a mahi mahi with a gigantic bite taken out of its back like it was a big cookie
27:44 <T3sl4> they may have reduced affect or something
28:08 <Nothing\> lol T3sl4 is that from majora's mask?
28:13 <T3sl4> ya
28:21 <Nothing\> ah, i never played that one sadly
28:36 <Nothing\> it's one of a few LoZ games i haven't
28:57 <T3sl4> it's pretty good, i'm sure you'd like the dark themes
29:15 <Nothing\> and frankly after breath of the wild, whenever i consider playing another 3D zelda game I just think "why bother? I have Breath of the Wild?"
29:25 <T3sl4> fair lol
29:36 <Nothing\> yeah but the 3 day time limit seems like it would make me feel rushed
30:01 <T3sl4> you'll get crushed by the moon once or twice yeah
30:07 <Nothing\> like i remember i didn't like fallout 2 because there was some time limit on the overall game. Or at least the main mission. I forget what exactly, it's been years since I've played it.
30:09 <Nothing\> decades even
30:26 <Nothing\> oh, so you can keep playing after the 3 day limit is up?
31:00 <T3sl4> the first progress is getting something to recycle it groundhog day style
31:22 <Nothing\> ah
32:05 <T3sl4> you can do almost everything in one cycle, though there's a few exclusive quests, and so many you need to be a damn good speedrunner to finish all of it
32:17 <Nothing\> Huh
32:31 <Nothing\> didn't they remake it for the 3DS like Ocarina of Time?
32:36 <T3sl4> the speedrun is a bit under 5hr
32:38 <Nothing\> Or did they bother?
32:38 <T3sl4> yes
32:43 <Nothing\> oh nice
33:01 <Nothing\> actually i need a new 3DS. The shoulder buttons are crapping out on me :/
33:28 <Nothing\> And looking up videos on how to fix shoulder button problems. You basically have to take the whole unit apart to access the mechanism.
33:44 <T3sl4> sounds about right
33:58 <Nothing\> Plus I've been wanting to get a 3DS XL or something with a bigger screen and a C pad
34:36 <Nothing\> i'm glad they abandoned the clamshell design with the switch
34:48 <T3sl4> wii u technically
35:01 <Nothing\> oh yeah, that lol
35:13 <Nothing\> i'm sure i can be forgiven for forgetting the wii u existed
35:21 <T3sl4> it's forgettable
35:36 <EEVBot> [Twitter] - eevblog - Just heard from a family member of Sir Clive Sinclair. They wanted to thank the tech community for the huge outpour… https://t.co/gL2wR4e8IS
35:37 * Nothing\ looks at the copy of new super mario bros wii u on his desk
35:52 <Nothing\> for switch, of course
36:33 <Nothing\> weird
36:57 <Nothing\> apparently a lot of canadian politicians and law enforcement agencies are considering decriminalizing drugs all together
37:04 <Nothing\> not legalizing, just decriminalizing
37:44 <Nothing\> meanwhile other agencies are setting up sting operations outside of safe injection sites
38:32 <Nothing\> man has the world always been this messed up
38:37 <Nothing\> or is this a recent thing
38:51 <T3sl4> worse
38:52 <Nothing\> or is it just being reported on and caught on camera more frequently?
39:02 <T3sl4> but it's been getting better, slowly but surely
39:22 <Nothing\> T3sl4, i dunno, we've got a housing bubble here that's just ready to burst
39:39 <Nothing\> like the average price of a house in canada right now is $780,000
39:51 <Nothing\> north of $1 million for a place like toronto or vancouver
40:03 <Nothing\> and that's just for a regular, middle class house
40:17 <Nothing\> something that used to be less than $200k before 2000
40:46 <Nothing\> although mortgage rates are lower than ever at 5-6%
41:16 <Nothing\> i think my parents paid 20% on theirs but that was 35 years ago
41:27 <T3sl4> never underestimate neoliberals' talent for draining every single thin cent from everything that is good and just in the world
41:50 <Nothing\> but the problem is all of these foreign entities are buying up properties here and driving up the prices
42:00 <Nothing\> while homeless rates have never been higher
42:36 <Nothing\> it's funny, I remember taking a class trip to toronto in grade 8 in 1998 to see phantom of the opera
43:04 <Nothing\> we saw a homeless guy on the street and thought it was such an amusing novelty, we all had to give him a buck just so we could say we did.
43:28 <Nothing\> fastforward to present times and tent cities are a normal site around here now
43:43 <Nothing\> basically shanty towns of homeless people living in tents
43:50 <T3sl4> ya
44:09 <Nothing\> we had one with almost 100 people a couple of years ago until the property owner flipped his shit and torched it
44:14 <Nothing\> right before winter
44:40 <Nothing\> the city had nowhere to put them so they had to quickly cobble together this piece of shit center out of the old police station
44:57 <Nothing\> the gist of it was you could sleep there, but you had to be gone from 8am to something like 5pm
45:15 <Nothing\> some shelter
45:37 <Nothing\> meanwhile people didn't want to leave cuz they had their stuff there and it'd get stolen if they just left it there
46:18 <Nothing\> and you drive by places like the salvation army shelter now and there are always like 10-20 people out front
46:27 <Nothing\> people in the parks pushing their carts
47:08 <Nothing\> cuz welfare here only pays about $600 but rent prices start at about $800 for your most basic, shittiest single room bachelor apartment
48:31 <Nothing\> i couldn't even get one being on disability and getting $1200 because the landlords 1. don't trust people on social services because of the stigma and 2. figure if you're spending 2/3 of your money on rent, you're inevitably going to end up needing some of that money for some other bill and will eventually stiff them so they'd rather not risk it
50:26 <Nothing\> i went to this government run housing agency here for help cuz i was close to being homeless because of this and all they told me was to take one of the housing listings they had out front, which just had regular listings that i'd been going through anyways. The stuff that's like $800 for a piece of shit and at least $1400 for something livable. When I told her disability wouldn't afford me such costly apartments
50:26 <Nothing\> back once I'm in a shelter.
50:50 <Nothing\> I told her that was exactly what I was trying to avoid. Then asked wtf she's being paid for and walked out.
50:52 <T3sl4> great
51:22 <Nothing\> in retrospect i shoulda written my MP but i was just so despondent and kicked down
52:32 <Nothing\> i was lucky though, my mom wound up leaving her ex. And being a pensioner, she was in the same boat. So we just split the rent on a 3 bedroom townhouse that's somehow only $1400
53:24 <Nothing\> well, really I pay most of the rent and she does bills and food
53:33 <Nothing\> it worked out perfect
54:00 <T3sl4> lucky
54:05 <Nothing\> oh i know
54:15 <T3sl4> alas, obviously many others not so much
54:34 <Nothing\> it's funny cuz, I think it was the mayor of montreal was saying not long ago that rent prices are about $500 for a middle class apartment
54:40 <Nothing\> that pissed off a LOT of people
54:48 <Nothing\> cuz rent's not much better there than in toronto
55:15 <T3sl4> never underestimate the aristocracy's ignorance of the commoner either
55:49 <Nothing\> i know, right? I never had any idea somebody could be so ignorant of something that's common sense to millions upon millions of people
56:18 <Nothing\> how can you be so cut off from the rest of the people like some sort of member of nobility or a monarchy
56:29 <T3sl4> because they are
56:32 <T3sl4> not so formal, but they are
56:45 <Nothing\> yeah i guess i just didn't realize that
56:51 <Nothing\> it's depressing
57:28 <T3sl4> the sooner we realize our actual place in society, the sooner we can actually start to change it
57:59 <Nothing\> especially when you consider with jeff bezos' $200 billion, he could give 2/3 of americans $100,000
58:12 <Nothing\> (kidding)
58:30 <Nothing\> there was a thing in the news a few months ago where people on twitter were saying something like that
58:37 <T3sl4> i remember
58:42 <Nothing\> there ya go lol
59:10 <Nothing\> still, even if most americans got $100,000. They wouldn't know what to do with it.
59:55 <Nothing\> They'd piss it away in a month because to them it'd be like they just won the lottery and came into an endless supply of money. From a subconscious point of view, I mean.
00:43 <Nothing\> They just don't have the experience to comprehend the real life implications of what $100,000 and how far it can realistically go
01:00 <Nothing\> unless they're smart and hire (and listen to) a financial advisor
01:28 <T3sl4> financial education would go far
01:31 <T3sl4> civic too
01:46 <Nothing\> indeed
02:05 <Nothing\> i'm actually considering getting a robinhood account and doing some light trading
02:26 <Nothing\> no futures or anything risky, but I just feel like I'm missing out on something here.
02:50 <Nothing\> Not so much the Reddit type stuff. But real financial stuff.
03:31 <Nothing\> For one, there are all of these cannabis based companies popping up all over the place that I see doing so well. It seems like it'd be a goldmine if you could figure out which ones are keepers.
04:23 <Nothing\> Or investing in Sony just before the PS5 comes out. That's a no-brainer
06:17 <Nothing\> I wonder if I could watch CSPAN online or something like it
06:23 <T3sl4> yes
06:29 <Nothing\> nice
06:32 <T3sl4> unless they country restrict it, in which case vpn
06:37 <Nothing\> aye
06:46 <Nothing\> i think that'd be a good start
06:50 <Ampera> good morning
06:55 <Ampera> how are you T3sl4
06:59 <T3sl4> bad morning, Ampera's here
07:04 <Ampera> lol
07:11 <T3sl4> <3
07:40 <Ampera> just woke up
07:41 <Ampera> sorta
07:50 <Ampera> am actually still in bed
07:53 * T3sl4 brews Ampera a coffee
08:08 * Ampera magically transmutes it into tea
08:40 * Ampera bakes some cinnamon rolls and shares them with T3sl4
08:52 * T3sl4 ices all over Ampera's face
09:20 <Ampera> you're beyond a square
09:27 <Ampera> you're a cube
09:42 <T3sl4> i'm neither on the square nor the level
09:46 <Nothing\> heh i'm still waiting for my mum to get up so i can go to tim hortons and get an iced cappuccino
09:56 <Nothing\> unfortunately nothing's within walking distance from here
10:08 <T3sl4> Nothing\ is within walking distance of Nothing\
10:18 <Nothing\> i thought she got up. She was up, made a coffee. Then she disappeared and that was half an hour ago.
10:23 * Nothing\ hears a toilet flush
10:26 <Nothing\> OHHHHHH
11:03 <Nothing\> T3sl4, Nothing\'s gonna change my world
11:19 <Nothing\> jai guru deva ommmmmmm
11:46 <Nothing\> i really need to get into buddhism more
12:49 * T3sl4 shrugs
12:54 <Nothing\> heh i noticed the other day my pharmacist's name is Gautama. So I asked if he was named after the Buddha. His face lit up and he was so happy. He said most people think he's named after some God, but I didn't catch the name.
13:17 <T3sl4> nice
14:52 <Nothing\> i was tempted to speak hindi to him, but i'm always reluctant to speak hindi to someone who looks indian because there are so many people who look indian but aren't, or people who are indians, but don't speak hindi. And I would imagine being a Buddhist, he's probabyl less likely to speak hindi
15:14 <Nothing\> i'm even reluctant to use a hindi greeting in fear they may be muslim
15:36 <T3sl4> do you just know a few words or actually conversant
15:40 <Nothing\> sikhs have their own greeting too, but they're dead easy to spot. With their bangles and turbans and what not.
16:58 <Nothing\> just a few phrases I picked up watching a channel called "bald and bankrupt" where an englishman travels to various places. The biggest series he has are India and Soviet bloc countries. So I picked up a lot of phrases in hindi and russian from both.
17:10 <T3sl4> ah
17:30 <Nothing\> basically any time he said something I could hear well enough to repeat, I'd say it into Google translate and translate it into english
17:44 <steve30> I spoke to a muslim yesterday at a 'Truth About Islam Project' stall
18:11 <Nothing\> but a lot of his hindi was poorly pronounced so i only caught a few phrases. And I'm not confident at all of my pronunciation or the meaning.
18:26 <T3sl4> if anyone, from any religion, has to tell you the "truth" about their religion, run
18:46 <Ampera> the truth about most religions is they are self replicating mental pathogens
18:48 <Nothing\> like "phear melenge" means "good bye" but I don't know if it's pronounced "peer" or "feer"
19:11 <steve30> https://flickr.com/photos/36651585@N04/51490833949/in/dateposted-public/
19:12 <EEVBot> [Title] - Truth About Islam Project | Muslims distributing leaflets ab… | Flickr
19:20 <Nothing\> and then, mil-en-ghey"
19:21 <Ampera> they use threats and promises to entice a belief to spread, and without any real maintenance, that idea manages to propagate
19:55 <Nothing\> or there are phrases i know but don't know the meaning of, like "jai boli ki"
20:02 <Ampera> I wonder how much someone would have to pay me, for me to go up and ask him, "Yeah so Allah's great and all, but do you got any other gods I can worship?"
20:03 <Nothing\> or "jai hind"
20:24 <Nothing\> i know hind has something to do with india, since in indian the country is called hindustan
22:03 <Nothing\> it sucks cuz i had an indian friend who spoke hindi at one point, but wasn't interested in it at the time
22:08 <T3sl4> "wayne jetski", wow, why haven't i heard that nickname before
22:21 <Nothing\> T3sl4, lol that's awesome
22:33 <Nothing\> i live where he was born so i'm totally gonna troll some locals with that
22:45 <Nothing\> his dad walter actually died a few months ago :/
22:55 <Nothing\> was a shame cuz he was a huge pillar in the community
23:05 <Nothing\> him and his wife were, who died a few years ago
23:11 <T3sl4> aw
23:33 <Nothing\> but his house isn't too far from here so i walk past it every time i go to the mall
23:51 <Nothing\> phil hartman lived here, too. I've been meaning to visit his house at some point.
24:11 <Nothing\> I know where it is. It's just on the other side of the city that I don't go to often.
24:47 <Nothing\> i found an interesting youtube video that talked about his old stomping grounds. But for some reason it never gave any addresses or locations.
25:03 <Nothing\> I had to get the address off of a memorial plaque they have for him downtown.
25:43 <Nothing\> actually, alexander graham bell lived here, too
26:05 <Nothing\> even invented the phone and made the first call from here to nearby Paris, Ontario
26:26 <Nothing\> or maybe it was the frist long distance call
26:38 <Nothing\> cuz i couldn't imagine him summoning watson from another city lol
26:59 <Nothing\> "Watson, I know you're 8km away, but come'ere a minute"
28:10 <Nothing\> they turned his homestead into a museum which I've been wanting to hit up for some time but haven't been able to due to covid. Hopefully once I get my second shot and my vaccine passport I can do that.
28:33 <Nothing\> And there's a military aircraft museum not far from here I'd be a fool not to go to
29:03 <Nothing\> and one of these days I'm gonna make it out to the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto
29:15 <Ampera> going apple picking today
29:23 <Nothing\> oddly enough, called the ROM
29:28 <Ampera> need to now figure out what I'm going to do with the entirely too many apples I will obviously buy
31:35 <T3sl4> Ampera: nice, i've been checking out the local apples in the park here from time to time
32:07 <Ampera> this is a big orchard with a nice selection
32:12 <T3sl4> they're rather dingy being unmaintained, small fruit usually deformed and wormy, but you can find some lucky ones
32:14 <Ampera> while we haven't gone every year, we go most years
32:25 <T3sl4> found one the other day that was sweet like candy :P
32:39 <Nothing\> back where I used to live, tehre were lots of berry bushes around. So any time I went for a walk in the Summer, I'd stop and eat as many berries as I could as a way of rehydrating
33:05 <Ampera> T3sl4, nothing like fresh fruit
33:08 <T3sl4> i probably ate a pound of black raspberry this summer
33:34 <Nothing\> heh when i was little it wasn't uncommon for me to eat so many strawberries i'd make myself sick
34:13 <T3sl4> and a few oz of hickory nuts this fall/late summer but dear god the squirrels eat so many of them, it's no wonder they're so fat right now
35:47 <T3sl4> there's a patch of strawberries one block over from here, planted with other flowers along a parking lot
36:07 <T3sl4> they spread so far this year, gonna be so many next year lol
36:18 <Nothing\> i have some strawberry planters but somehow they became infested with woodlice last year
36:20 <Nothing\> :/
36:28 <T3sl4> :(
36:46 <Nothing\> and even before that, before they ever got ripe, animals would eat them
37:17 <Nothing\> i have a ton of morning glories, though
37:37 <T3sl4> there's a fair number of those around here
37:38 <Nothing\> they've completely taken over my garden
38:02 <T3sl4> also, tons of wild grape, but they're small, sour and mostly seeds, so
38:14 <Nothing\> ah yeah
38:21 <Nothing\> i have some wild corn like that
38:30 <Nothing\> not so much seeds, but very hard kernels
38:34 <Nothing\> and small ears
38:48 <Nothing\> musta fell out of the bird feeder
39:09 <Nothing\> we've also got some oats and some other type of grain or grass
39:55 <T3sl4> technically, they're all grasses are grains
40:05 <Nothing\> true
40:19 <Nothing\> is it all grasses are grains or all grains are grasses?
40:22 <Nothing\> or both?
40:48 <Nothing\> cuz i knew the latter, but not the former
40:50 <T3sl4> both?
41:02 <Nothing\> anywho i have to go get my timmy's now
41:04 <Nothing\> i'll bbiab
