10:24 <T3sl4> Halcyon: had a thought. candied serranos
11:28 <T3sl4> i see jalapenos are a semi popular version, i suppose with a milder one they'd be snackable
11:48 <T3sl4> serranos, or hot jalapenos, would definitely be something to either pace yourself with, or have with a meal

06:25 <steve30> I see my Mum has installed her Shungite pyramid.
06:40 <steve30> It'll be interesting to see if it improves her health at all :D
07:39 <TheDude> whoa
07:45 <K> installed where?
07:53 * Ampera hugs TheDude 
07:54 <Ampera> my favorite dude
08:05 <T3sl4> and dudest The
08:09 <TheDude> ... but not the only? :(
08:14 <steve30> in between a Wireless access point and a DECT phone
08:22 <TheDude> so
08:29 * T3sl4 carbons up K a bit
08:42 <Ampera> TheDude, you are the only one, hence, my favorite
08:50 <T3sl4> (apparently shungite is something like, natural coke [pyrolyzed coal], so yeah)
08:56 <TheDude> so there was a middle management level boss that left our company like last week
09:06 <T3sl4> alas also Ampera's least favorite
09:14 <steve30> I gather its mostly just carbon
09:21 <TheDude> and he mentioned that the new company where he's gone to is in need of an embedded engineer
09:29 <Ampera> steve30, it's a magic crystal, and that's all that matters
09:32 <Ampera> it can heal the world
09:37 <TheDude> ... and they seem to be in a hurry
09:45 <T3sl4> that's where you're wrong, Ampera
09:47 <Ampera> I recall you saying that, TheDude
09:52 <TheDude> he has pinged me yesterday with a contact of a guy there
09:56 <T3sl4> but i doubt the buyers know why :P
09:58 <T3sl4> "Shungite is a black, lustrous, non-crystalline mineraloid"
10:05 <TheDude> and just now he has called me asking if I'd contacted the guy yet
10:08 <Ampera> T3sl4, oh hush, and now you're gonna start telling me vaccines work and that horse medicine doesn't cure COVID
10:10 <Ampera> buh
10:16 <T3sl4> buh!
10:25 <Ampera> it has sides, therefore obviously a crystal
10:47 <TheDude> like... they seem to be in dire NEED of an embedded dev
10:50 <T3sl4> you have sides
11:02 <Ampera> although, if it's a non-crystalline solid, presumably that'd make it a glass
11:11 <TheDude> there is a downside though
11:20 <T3sl4> if it's essentially coke, it could be mostly amorphous carbon, yeh
11:21 <TheDude> that job would be further away
11:38 <TheDude> still driving distance, but a fair bit farther from home
11:40 <Ampera> so it's a magic glass crystal
11:43 <Ampera> duhhhh
11:56 <Ampera> TheDude, don't you live with roommates?
12:05 <TheDude> no
12:09 <Ampera> thought you did
12:14 <TheDude> I did in the past
12:22 <TheDude> I live on my own now
12:24 <T3sl4> "interpreted as migrated petroleum, now in the form of metamorphosed bitumen." oh hey so it's not just coke, but petroleum coke. neat
12:29 <Ampera> as I was going to say, hopefully much better pay would allow you to afford housing closer to your new job
12:49 <Ampera> T3sl4, I think that means you owe me a coke
12:58 <TheDude> not going to rent an apartment
13:07 <T3sl4> bepis
13:18 <Kuschelpony> .... > and that horse medicine doesn't cure COVID
13:22 <Kuschelpony> i disagree
13:34 <Kuschelpony> taking enough of this medicine stops COVID and stupidity together
13:44 <Ampera> well guns cure covid too
13:49 <Ampera> that's why they should be mandatory to own
14:02 <T3sl4> ah yes, the DPRK joke from earlier 2020, i remember that one
15:17 <T3sl4> "Crystal healing pseudoscience proponents and 5G conspiracy theorists have falsely alleged the misinformational belief that shungite may absorb 5G radiation." now, see, if it is as described, it ought to be a rather good microwave absorber, so i take issue to that. albeit only slightly
15:40 <Ampera> stick it in a microwave and find out
16:19 <Kuschelpony> > well guns cure covid too
16:34 <Kuschelpony> oh i forgot that the americans already had a solution to stop the pandemy :)
16:51 <Ampera> and we didn't even need to sell out to big pharma
16:57 <Ampera> now THAT'S how you do healthcare
17:06 <Ampera> er, not healthcare, healthwedon'tcare
17:21 <T3sl4> thoughtsandprayerscares

18:06 <T3sl4> https://i.imgur.com/BpQwW.gif
18:20 <Ampera> mantids
18:24 * Ampera grabs T3sl4's mantids
19:53 <T3sl4> neat, one paper says they have nanoscopic semiconducting regions
20:34 <Ampera> mantids?
20:47 <Ampera> or the magic crystals
20:54 <T3sl4> that too
27:30 <DHess_US> I for one welcome our metamorphosed bitumen mantids.
27:47 <Ampera> They have a good pitch
27:59 <T3sl4> ayyy
29:49 * steve30 needs coffee
30:16 <T3sl4> i'll give you a cough... for a fee

35:11 <T3sl4> erm, spare, but that's even cooler
51:17 <electrohead> o/
51:29 * Ampera hugs electrohead 
51:30 * T3sl4 films electrohead
51:37 <electrohead> lol, hey guys
04:26 <steve30> that reminds me, i meant to make a video this week
06:06 <steve30> But to keep you all entertained in the meantime, here's a video I recorded at the weekend:

06:38 <steve30> I used a software video stabaliser to stabalise it, which did a good job, but reduces the image quality a bit
06:47 <steve30> (I used the DSLR so no proper image stabaliser on there)

55:41 <Halcyon> It's still hard getting up at 0500
55:54 <T3sl4> easy for me, just stay up
56:08 <Halcyon> Yeh I know, I wish humans didn't require sleep. I could get so much more done
56:24 * steve30 likes sleep
56:35 <Halcyon> I like it too, but it's not productive
56:43 * T3sl4 waves a magic wand taking sleep from Halcyon to steve30
56:54 <steve30> :)
57:09 <Halcyon> Steve's a house cat, he would sleep all day if he could
57:25 <Halcyon> On random beds, piles of clothes, on the couch arm
57:38 <T3sl4> any lap in a storm
57:44 <Halcyon> Yup
58:20 <Halcyon> Well, better go poop, then off to work

09:39 <rust_collector> what is it?
11:22 <T3sl4> it's a thing, a 2014 thing

15:55 <rust_collector> ok, so... what is it?
16:04 <hsn> Audi a6
16:13 <rust_collector> yes, I can see that
16:24 <hsn> I keep telling her no .. go for hyndai sonata 2018 or something
17:08 <hsn> Newer .. and cheaper to fix
17:51 <hsn> Garages here dont fix Germany stuff .. of they do .. they get expensive
17:59 <hsn> If they do
18:47 <hsn> I ve 528i 2000 .. i like it except that its suffering now ..
19:15 <rust_collector> except that it is suffering from what?

21:11 <hsn> The heat
21:58 <hsn> The "fck u stop being spoiled and move your ass" attitude
21:59 <rust_collector> but yes, tell her to get something korean, or something.
22:51 <hsn> The .. oh .. no water ? Ok no need to fix leak .. just give her drinking water .. refill the coolant tank
23:27 Quit: TheDude ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
23:39 <rust_collector> well, do you know where the leak is?
23:45 <hsn> Nah
24:04 <rust_collector> ok, so it is probably just the head gasket...
24:18 <hsn> I went to garage and paid some amount ... It get much better but there is still another leak sewhere
24:38 <hsn> Somewhere
25:34 <hsn> How does it cool .. it just go through the cooling fins thing and come back to coolant tank?
25:41 <hsn> Or it goes inside engine also
26:09 <rust_collector> yes, inside engine too
27:32 <hsn> Engine pistons cooling ... Then radiator fins then back to tank right?
28:51 <rust_collector> the tank is not the important part. the radiator fins, and you have water passages inside the engines head, and block.
29:12 <rust_collector> then it returns to the radiator, to get cooled down, and starts over
38:03 <hsn> Usually I thought it leaks from piping and tank .. not radiator or engine
38:34 <rust_collector> probably.
38:56 <rust_collector> but blown head gaskets are not very uncommon on those.
39:31 <hsn> I see .. which means they have to open the engine block to replace gaskets?
40:01 <rust_collector> you have to take the head off the block, and you have a large gasket between them
40:25 <rust_collector> but, I am not saying it is that. I just say it could be.
40:45 <hsn> Like this https://images.app.goo.gl/j8CbJy5aZQVEUv6GA
41:17 <hsn> I prefer to give her water when she feels thirsty .. lol
41:21 <rust_collector> it can leak into the engine, or out of the engine, or into the cylinders, which would usually give you some steam from the exhaust.
41:37 <T3sl4> my car leaks from the coolant pump shaft seal
41:54 <T3sl4> various things can happen
42:19 <hsn> T3sl4: do u know whats the solution for check engine light?
42:23 <rust_collector> yep. but it would be an idea to figure out where the water is going
42:48 <rust_collector> hsn electricians tape
42:52 <T3sl4> https://i.imgur.com/7cIz8On.jpg
43:06 <hsn> To remove the light
43:21 <hsn> Or the led
44:21 <hsn> Thats somthing i learned when i saw friend tries to sell his car
44:28 <hsn> He fixes stuff .. lol
45:31 <rust_collector> I was poking around in the instrument cluster of a...2005, I think chevy tahoe, and they have smd light bulbs. I don't think I have seen that before
47:06 <T3sl4> as in incandescent bulbs?
47:10 <rust_collector> yes
47:14 <T3sl4> lord help us
48:13 <rust_collector> I guess they were.. 6x6mm, with a round little glass bulb sticking out in the middle
50:12 <rust_collector> maybe they are tiny "parking light" bulbs, and the rest is a socket. But I could not get it out anyway

27:45 <Halcyon> The earthquake in Melbourne today was far more newsworthy

14:01 <K> what does this mean "so when POTUS does not reflect confidence of American leadership" ?
34:51 <DHess_US> jaymax, elections have consequences.
38:50 <Ampera> If only our president could remember, for the life of him, what those consequences are.
41:02 <DHess_US> We get the government we deserve.
41:29 <Ampera> I've heard that one before
25:05 <jaymax> K it means the world is watching the bungling of the Afghanistan withdrawal and witnessing certain other countries swoop in on saber-rattling while the POTUS attempts to supress that bad press through citizen-affecting policies that bypass the congressional process with thinly veiled threats of "our patience is running thin".
27:40 <jaymax> As in, if America seeks to attack itself than defend the world (FWIW I'm not fully on board with the latter but it has its benefits), that void will not be good for primariliy-peacekeeping nations.
28:37 <K> i dont see the withdrawal as being extremely bungled and there is nothing to be done about those certain other countries, afaic
29:11 <K> are you talking about osha and mandatory vaccination of gov workers?
30:00 <K> that seems rational to me, vaccine is fda approved and available
30:09 <Ampera> Biden does not talk to his people. I have no faith in a president who not only does not answer questions, but who is cut off by others when he tries to
30:23 <K> (shrugs)
30:29 <Ampera> Plenty of shit is FDA approved.
30:30 <K> you prolly see it better from being closer
30:57 <Ampera> Lots of drugs that have had the most impressive lawsuits in human history have been FDA approved
31:08 <jaymax> Nothing particularly needs to done about those certain other countries IMO, aside from being capable of returning posturing. Instead, you have the POTUS give foreing adversaries lists of what/who not to bomb.
31:13 <Ampera> That is not to say the vaccines are or are not effective, rather to simply state that FDA approval is not a watertight benchmark,.
32:05 <Ampera> The main problem that I see is our military generalship are all bought out and lack merit
32:18 <Ampera> They are businessmen trying to extract as much money as possible out of war for their benefactors
32:59 <Ampera> Afghanistan was Vietnam 2.0, where the same mistakes were made, and the same outcome came from it.
33:03 <jaymax> WRT to OSHA, it'd need to be an amendment on the floor. We know why that wouldn't work - but skipping the floor because there's no incentive to work together is not a good excuse. It makes congress pointless, and that's a bad trendline.
33:28 <Ampera> Work together?
33:31 <Ampera> Our politicians?
33:34 <Ampera> are you on drugs?
33:57 <jaymax> I'm just someone who remmebers 10 years ago Ampera.
34:26 <Ampera> I got into politics after that, and all I've yet to see is abject failure and unbridled disappointment.
34:41 <Ampera> The notion that a functional government can actually exist is baffling to me.
35:11 <Ampera> We exist in a time where the stresses of reality begin to show the true character of the people who have been entrusted with the steering wheel
35:30 <jaymax> Just like with the eviction moritorium. SCOTUS called it unconsititional unless it goes through congress. So the POTUS decided to unilaterally renew it for POTUS to kill it again.
35:39 <Ampera> It has shown us how fragile liberty truly is, and how many people will argue ethical semantics over its merits.
35:52 <jaymax> ^
36:42 <Ampera> Australia is an excellent example of a place where your right to make a lack of faith in your government publicly and visibly known is controlled at the whim of that same government
37:50 <Ampera> Any place where a people have faith in their government to have their best interests in mind and to make the right decisions is a place with a government who would not accept any other viewpoint.
38:59 <jaymax> BTW, had the party affiliations be flipped with this rule bending and uni-lateral control, I'd gesture that every city would be on fire. IMO, I wouldn't blame the revolters either.
39:11 <Ampera> Ultimately, in this pandemic, almost all of these decisions are centered upon a debate between the value of liberty and the value of life
39:25 <Ampera> Here, it'd simply be different cities on fire.
39:45 <Ampera> That's the second problem, where the merit of a decision is dependent on the opinion of the person making it.
44:33 <jaymax> I suspect that there'd be a large overlap of cities. A few months into lockdown, there were a few cities that did - NYC, Chicago, Baltimore, Portland, etc.
44:57 <Ampera> well those are cities that are always on fire
45:06 <jaymax> That wasn't 100% the police issue that brought people out.
45:10 <Ampera> especially Portland, which hasn't changed much in the everyone's breaking shit and hurting people
45:56 <Ampera> Chicago and Baltimore are broken cities with self-serving leadership that make sure its rich minority maintain superiority and separation from the plebian lower classes who get to live in shit and shot
46:02 <Ampera> NYC is just NYC.
46:12 <jaymax> But I do agree with the concerns of team affiliation

49:56 <jaymax> Something about Canada. Our PM called an election because he wanted to "reset the mandate" coming out the pandemic, and seek a majority government to do so. But also early on he lamented on being restricted in passing policy. IIRC the only policy shot down was at the beginning of the pandemic, his reauest to dissolve parliment for 21 months (to end of 2021) and he makes all federal decisions.
50:16 <jaymax> Let's just say I'm glad he got stuck with another minority.
50:52 <Ampera> the only thing I can think about when talking about Trudeau is blackface
53:54 <jaymax> Yeah, I'm not offended he did that as a university student, but I'm pissed he uses that as a way to make his mistake a divisive crusade.
55:50 <jaymax> It's like the "I believe women" thing he exclaimed but, needs to figure out a ay to throw Judy Wilsom-Raybold under the bus for his SNC-Lavalin scandal without calling her a liar. I think he ended up saying her job was stressful and yada-yada gaslighting.
58:39 <Ampera> I have less than 0 idea bout Canadian politics, besides that you're all massively racist and treat your natives worse than gravel
33:25 <jaymax> Not wrong. Judy Wilsom-Raybold is indigenous and our own PM decided to gaslight her to save his rear end from a scandal.
34:00 <Ampera> It is impressively dark outside
34:07 <electrohead> T3sl4: well, I'm looking to make an electronic ethernet A/B switch, for a dual purpose - switch between my two modems (one as forceware flashed onto it) for now, but ultimately as a kill switch, to stop any/all internet bound traffic
34:16 <Ampera> also I have discovered that english breakfast tea + maple syrup is a killer combination
34:19 * Ampera hugs electrohead 
34:23 <electrohead> and, have it able to be triggered via code from somewhere
34:27 * electrohead hugs Ampera
34:35 <Ampera> how are you doing powerguy?
34:46 <electrohead> good, waking up
34:48 <electrohead> you?
35:55 <Ampera> alright
36:03 <Ampera> drinking tea
38:32 <K> drunkard
38:40 * Ampera attacks K with a frozen potato
38:46 <Ampera> I may get curry after work
38:50 <Ampera> /may/
40:08 <K> you fiend.
40:23 * electrohead films
