02:37 <rust_collector> who cares?
02:42 <Ampera> You do.
02:46 <Ampera> Otherwise you wouldn't ask that question.
03:10 <rust_collector> I care a lot. I want to make sure I get the correct victim
25:13 * Ysjoelfir caresses rust_collector a lot
28:58 <rust_collector> *squeak*
39:57 <Halcyon> Night all, I'm heading to bed

40:21 <Ysjoelfir> there wasnt even enough time to wish him a good night
41:33 <rust_collector> he is very agressive when he is going to bed
42:28 <Ysjoelfir> I noticed
57:18 * T3sl4 very aggressively eats some fridgepizza

59:12 * T3sl4 thrusts a slice in front of K

59:45 <Ampera> Hello TheDude
59:47 <Ampera> how are you dudeing
00:03 <T3sl4> howdy Dudey
00:44 <TheDude> very fucking well :D
00:50 <TheDude> hello
01:45 <Ampera> that's pretty fucking nice
02:16 <TheDude> not only did I just receive the first offer from the potential new workplace
02:40 <TheDude> the current employer finally started realizing that I might leave soon and are going to try to sweeten the deal :)
02:47 <rust_collector> they already paid you too?
03:09 <TheDude> and by just received the offer
03:25 <TheDude> literally on the way back from work, I need to take a look at it now
04:08 <TheDude> oh no, my bad
04:24 <TheDude> it was a linkedin private message from a headhunter
04:32 <TheDude> from a third company looking for employees :D
04:51 <TheDude> holy shit this is fuck as fuck
04:56 <TheDude> fun*
05:15 <K> but also fuck
05:19 <K> the good kind
05:23 <T3sl4> shit fun is fuck as fuck?
05:37 <rust_collector> did you get a work offer from the king of nigeria?
05:40 <K> let's not go there
05:44 <TheDude> bad T3sl4
05:55 * TheDude smacks T3sl4 with a rolled up magazine
06:43 <T3sl4> well, i guess you won't be having any of the pizza
07:02 <TheDude> not until you wash the doo doo off your hands
08:49 <T3sl4> in tangentially related matters, i gathered a few pounds of walnuts the other day, they're drying in the oven right now
10:24 <TheDude> nice
10:30 <T3sl4> they're not going to be much more pleasant to clean after drying, the goo inside the hull is very much brown staining
10:51 <TheDude> speaking of walnuts
10:59 <TheDude> if you get them while they're still green
11:06 <TheDude> you can make delicious liqueur with them
11:25 <T3sl4> after the initial pineyness, the aroma in here has actually been pretty pleasant
12:10 <T3sl4> the goo inside, does seem to be rather sweet, often fermented. not like i'd try eating it, it's rather bitter and i think toxic besides
12:25 <T3sl4> but with distillation, that seems quite plausible
12:30 <TheDude> nono
12:34 <TheDude> not distillation
12:57 <TheDude> you pick them green, and put them in a schnapps
13:07 <TheDude> preferably of fruit origin
13:28 <TheDude> then you add some sugar and cover that
13:38 <TheDude> and leave it in the sun
14:03 <TheDude> and the liquid turns very brown during the "brewing" process
14:10 <T3sl4> https://www.lilvienna.com/spiced-walnut-liqueur/
14:12 <EEVBot> [Title] - Spiced Walnut Liqueur from Austria » Little Vienna 
14:12 <TheDude> then you just strain that and bottle it up
14:42 <TheDude> yes, looks about right
15:06 <TheDude> that stuff is really lovely
15:48 <T3sl4> i suppose they'll be rather starchy at that stage, possibly not as bitter/toxic depending on when those compounds develop i suppose
16:02 <T3sl4> and, hollow by the looks of it, the nutmeat of course isn't developed at that stage
16:19 <TheDude> yup
16:36 <TheDude> they recommend vodka or wheat schnapps in this recipe
16:58 <TheDude> it's considerably better if you use something like a peach or pear schnapps
17:07 <TheDude> or plum
17:24 <T3sl4> the terpenes would go well with peach, yeah
17:34 <TheDude> the fruity smell adds another layer of flavor
17:51 <rust_collector> potato or turnip schnaps...
18:10 <TheDude> the one time we made it
18:10 <T3sl4> pear, idunno i guess, plum seems odd but i wouldn't doubt it turns out well
18:18 <TheDude> we turned the sugar to caramel before
18:24 <TheDude> and that, too, added a pleasant taste
19:14 <TheDude> and I once tried a batch where roasted coffee beans were added to the brew
19:21 <TheDude> and that, too, was nice
19:28 <TheDude> even though I'm not a coffee drinker
19:29 <T3sl4> mmm
19:44 <T3sl4> ironically double-brown
20:09 <T3sl4> then how about, uh, cocoa? paprika?
20:31 <TheDude> I can see cocoa working okay
20:37 <TheDude> paprika, not so much
21:13 <T3sl4> i think capsicum is underrated in drinks, i've had a few chili-bearing ciders that were really neat
21:27 <electrohead> EEVBot: give coffee to your master
21:27 * EEVBot pours coffee down your master's throat
21:28 <TheDude> people here tend to also use remains of pressed grapes (whatever is left over from making wine) for schnapps
21:40 <TheDude> but that stuff really isn't that great to use for this sort of stuff
21:45 <electrohead> o/
21:56 <T3sl4> the uh
21:59 <T3sl4> pomace, yeah

22:51 <TheDude> anyhow, you can find lots of that liquor in these parts
23:01 <T3sl4> cool
23:05 <TheDude> as vineyards are quite abundant here
23:16 <TheDude> but I tend to avoid it
23:30 <T3sl4> speaking of german, there's a word for, that i forget... when you take the liquid from canned fruit, and make wine of it
23:50 <TheDude> what do you mean speaking of german?

00:31 <Nothing\> i think jupiter's fast becoming my favourite planet after viewing this gallery of photos taken by Juno
01:22 <Nothing\> like you know at the north pole, there's a hurricane-like cyclone several thousand miles wide (couldn't find an exact size for that one) and it's circled by 8 other cyclones which are each the size of the continental united states
01:31 <Nothing\> puts hurricane Sam to shame
02:07 <rust_collector> too bad it is no longer a planet.

02:17 <EEVBot> [Title] - Juno Image Gallery | NASA
02:27 <Nothing\> wait that's not the pictuer, that's just a general index
02:31 <Nothing\> i hate it when sites do that
02:57 <Nothing\> you click a picture and instead of opening it in a new tab or in the same tab, it just opens like a "sub window" inside the tab
03:16 <Nothing\> https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/styles/full_width_feature/public/thumbnails/image/pj25_26_27_28_poln_avrg_enh_denoise_cropdisc_sharp10.png
03:26 <Nothing\> there's a really nice false color image of jupiter's north pole
03:43 <K> jupiter on drugs
04:02 <Nothing\> K, dude literally all of the high resolution pics of jupiter look like that
04:12 <Nothing\> which is another reason i'm starting to love it even more
04:32 <Nothing\> the usual pictures you see don't give you any sense of depth or perspective with the cloud tops
05:23 <Nothing\> but you look at some of these and it's clear you're looking at the tops of clouds. You can see all of the shadow and contrast that gives you perspective and gives the picture a more 3 dimensional quality to it
06:25 <Nothing\> oh cool

07:01 * Ampera hugs Nothing\ 
07:03 <Nothing\> assuming that's the politically correct denonym for inhabitants of Io
07:08 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera 
07:12 <Nothing\> hey mang
07:13 <Ampera> hello fren
07:15 <Ampera> how are
07:15 <Nothing\> how you doing?
07:22 <Ampera> boobs
07:25 <Nothing\> i'm not bad
07:32 <Nothing\> a bit underslept, but none the worse for wear
07:48 <Nothing\> actually tbh my bowels have been cramping constantly for the last couple of weeks
07:54 <Nothing\> and i'm getting really tired of it
08:13 <Nothing\> i'm going fine, i've at least THOUGHT i've cleared myself out more than once
08:21 * Ampera squeezes Nothing\ like a stuck tube of toothpaste, watches shit shoot out of his ass like a mortar
08:24 <Nothing\> i filled the toilet 5 times the one night, solid each time
08:33 <Nothing\> next day i still felt blocked up
08:54 <Nothing\> took more laxatives and went till it was liquid
08:59 <Nothing\> STILL felt blocked up
09:12 <Nothing\> gave it a few days, figured maybe it was just cramps from muscle contractions from the laxatives
09:21 <Nothing\> nope, it keeps on going regardless
09:38 <Ampera> I have an explanation
09:39 <Nothing\> so i take more laxatives and have a crap and again, the next day i still feel blocked up
09:47 <Nothing\> oh please tell me
09:51 <Ampera> you're full of shit
09:56 <Nothing\> hrm
09:59 <Nothing\> you know
10:05 <Nothing\> you may be on to something here
10:10 <Nothing\> my dad used to tell me the same thing
10:19 <Nothing\> "go sit on the toilet, you're full of shit"
10:19 <Ampera> I don't talk shit unless there's shit to talk about
11:20 <Ampera> I just finished watching a 5 hour documentary on the fall of Yugoslavia
11:27 <Nothing\> nice
11:32 <Nothing\> my grandmother was born there
11:44 <Nothing\> i still can't find anything about her village
11:48 <Nothing\> i'm not even sure how to spell it
12:12 <Nothing\> but she apparently migrated to germany during the war
12:32 <Nothing\> i always thought her and my grandfather, who was born in czecheslovakia were forced into germany
12:40 <Nothing\> i didn't realize she came over
12:47 <Nothing\> voluntarily
12:55 <Nothing\> not sure about my grandfather though
13:10 <Nothing\> i remember my mom telling me how the SS beat him trying to get info on his cousin
13:22 <Nothing\> and by beating i mean interrogated
13:48 <Nothing\> i never talked about the war, but i wish i'd asked him about it more. Though I got the sense he didn't like to talk about it.
14:09 <Nothing\> i'm not even sure if he was for or against the nazis
15:07 <Nothing\> my grandmother showed some biggotted thought patterns when she mentioned how she didn't like her indian doctor because he wore a turban and all that
15:24 <Nothing\> but i mean, to a 90 year old woman, a guy wearing a turban might as well be a fucking alien
16:05 <Nothing\> btw, you ever see how they wrap a turban?
16:10 <Nothing\> holy crap is it a process
16:23 <Nothing\> as far as i can tell, it requires no fewer than 3 people to do
16:35 <Nothing\> and a length of cloth that looks about 30 feet long
16:45 <Nothing\> maybe 20, hard to say
16:50 <Nothing\> it was interesting to see though
17:31 <Nothing\> It makes me wonder if they ever just sleep with their turban on or if they take it off at night and spend the morning re-wrapping everybody's turbans for the day
18:40 <Nothing\> i think the reason they wear it has something to do with exposing the top of the head to the sky. Because I remember any time my Sikh friend got in a scuffle in school and his turban was knocked off, he'd immediately put up his hood, or pull his shirt up over his head and run inside to redo his turban somehow
18:55 <Nothing\> so it was like he was shielding his crown from the sky
19:55 <Nothing\> and i know there are other religions, like the hmong who believe the top of the head is a very important place, spiritually speaking. Whether it's where the spirit resides, or an area it can leave the body or what, i'm not sure.
27:56 <Nothing\> oh yeah, speaking of space
28:04 <Nothing\> i found a micrometeorite yesterday
28:10 <Nothing\> or the day before, i forget
28:58 <Nothing\> but i took some circular 1in diameter by maybe 1/8in width with about 10 stacked on top of eachother and put the whole lot in a pill bottle
29:22 <Nothing\> then i used the bottle to "scan" my patio stones in my backyard for magnetic particles
29:28 <Ampera> https://prnt.sc/1u8xbdk
29:29 <EEVBot> [Title] - Attention Required! | Cloudflare
29:29 <Ampera> congrats
29:42 <Ampera> you have completely filled my screen
29:51 <Nothing\> then being carful to sort and separate them, i looked at the particles one by one under the microscope
30:01 <Nothing\> and eventually i found a teeny chunk of metal
30:23 <Nothing\> and a nearly perfectly spherical rocky looking piece
30:46 <Nothing\> the metal could be something else, but the sphere is undoubtedly a micrometeorite
30:57 <Nothing\> Ampera, thank you, i aim to please
30:59 <Nothing\> :P
31:15 <rust_collector> time to get a full size screen, I think
31:38 <Nothing\> Ampera, yeah maybe if you used screens with more verticle space they wouldn't fill up so fast
31:55 <Ampera> it's a 1280x1024 monitor
32:11 <Ampera> only a few dozen pixels off from 1080
32:11 <Nothing\> might as well be 3185712350213750921:1
32:29 <Nothing\> yeah i used to use 1280x1024 on CRT
33:31 <Nothing\> you guys hear they're making another super mario bros movie?
33:39 <Nothing\> it's coming out next year
33:40 <rust_collector> nope
33:48 <Nothing\> with UGH chris pratt
33:49 <Nothing\> of course
33:53 <Nothing\> flavour of the year
33:53 <rust_collector> aha
34:06 <Nothing\> at least they kept charles martinet for the voice of mario
34:12 <rust_collector> not that i haev seen any of the previous mario movies
34:19 <Nothing\> rust_collector, there were only 2
34:35 <rust_collector> ok, and I saw none of them
34:37 <Nothing\> a little known japanese anime that was supposed to be pretty good
35:14 <Nothing\> and a live action hollywood version from like 1991 with john leguizamo as luigi, bob hoskins as mario, and dennis hopper as Koopa
35:23 <Nothing\> yeah, that's a working cast
35:35 <Nothing\> get the italian brother to be played be a latino and a brit
35:40 <Nothing\> brothers
36:10 <Nothing\> and the way dennis hopper played his part was just weird
36:15 <Nothing\> even for him
36:47 <Nothing\> either way rust_collector the live action movie was abominable, but if you can find a rifftrax or something it's worth checking out

38:08 <Kuschelpony> Hallo
38:19 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, lemme ask you something about german
38:38 <Nothing\> what's the difference between "hast" and "hab'n"?

38:59 <Nothing\> i think i got that imxed up
39:22 <Nothing\> yeah like has du etwas kartoffel

40:00 <Nothing\> what's sie?
40:15 <Nothing\> i'm trying to learn german but i have little grasp of the language
40:21 <Nothing\> i'm stronger in french
40:22 <rust_collector> haben sie
40:27 <Nothing\> oh
40:35 <Nothing\> isn't it hab'n?
40:39 <rust_collector> have the is not the same
40:46 <Nothing\> oh i see
41:05 <Nothing\> so it's like pretense versus present tense
41:09 <Nothing\> have vs has
41:25 <rust_collector> I dunno, I suck at languages
41:30 <Nothing\> hab'n = have
41:39 <Nothing\> me too
41:58 <rust_collector> I can not say I have seen hab'n ever, but..
42:20 <rust_collector> that does not really mean anything
42:30 <Kuschelpony> mmh, can you pleae ask that again tomorrow, i have total headache and drop out soon again
42:43 * Nothing\ shrugs
43:01 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, heh no worries, my gut's feeling the same way
44:47 <rust_collector> your gut has a headache?

40:26 <Ampera> how are you doing fren?
40:37 <Ampera> DHess_US, is there at least a wall to keep them in?

40:51 <Ampera> I ate an apple.
40:53 <DHess_US> No wall, but the entire MIssissippi river.
40:59 <Halcyon> Are you feeling OK Ampera?
41:12 <Ampera> DHess_US, at least that's so polluted you're likely to dissolve if you tried to swim in it
41:20 <Ampera> Halcyon, I love fruits
41:23 <Ampera> why do you think I like you
41:25 <DHess_US> The Mississippi? No.
41:26 <Halcyon> You are a fruit
41:36 <Ampera> I wish
41:46 <DHess_US> The Mississippi is a little too large to be "polluted" in that sense.
42:07 <Ampera> Sorry, I'm just used to NY's rivers, which have been polluted ever since they were rivers
42:15 <Ampera> and probably a bit before then too
42:26 <DHess_US> St. Louis is where the Missouri, Mississippi, and Merrimack rivers meet.
43:41 <EEVBot> [Twitter] - eevblog - Just SMOKED a repair! https://t.co/ZKX2L9t7h0
44:34 <DHess_US> So St. Louis has the highest crime rate in the US, but like all such places, that is the bad areas and the nice areas are pretty much the same as any other place.
45:25 <DHess_US> Part of it is that the city of St. Louis is Democrat only and separate from the county of St. Louis.
45:48 <DHess_US> St. Louis keeps trying to rejoin the county of St. Louis and the county keeps saying hell no.
52:01 <jaymax> Lol, not surprised. City policy has failed, so why would the county jump to be under the thumb of that same failed city policy?
55:46 <DHess_US> Plus St. Louis City's insolvent pension funds.
56:13 <DHess_US> If St. Louis city was part of the county, then they could basically control the entire county.
56:35 <DHess_US> They aren't part of the county because the city and county split during the Civil war.

16:37 <Nothing\> heyo
16:49 <Nothing\> so, i have a question. If anybody's alive.
16:53 * T3sl4 handshakes Nothing\
17:04 * Nothing\ hugshakes T3sl4 
17:11 <T3sl4> :)
17:20 <Nothing\> i have a bit of a first world dilema on my hands
17:30 <Nothing\> i wanna get that new remake of diablo ii
17:58 <Nothing\> but after trying to buy starcraft ii and seeing what all the implications of installing and using battle.net are, i'm not a huge fan of the idea
18:10 <Nothing\> and it seems that's the only way you can get the game on pc
18:34 <T3sl4> shrug, i never touched it
18:38 <Nothing\> however, i COULD get it on my switch, at the cost of decreased quality of graphics and probably a slightly higher price
18:59 <Nothing\> but then i wouldn't have to use or install battle.net
19:15 <T3sl4> think i even dodged battle.net the other way around, i played war2 but not the net version
19:19 <T3sl4> and that was a loong time ago
19:21 <Nothing\> i've already got steam, i don't need something else that does the exact same thing, but only for like 8 games
19:44 <Nothing\> i pirated starcraft 2 back when it first came out
20:03 <Nothing\> but the last legit blizzard game i played was starcraft
20:31 <Nothing\> well, technically i played a free trial of WoW
20:41 <Nothing\> but since that was nothing to write home about, i don't really count it
20:55 <Nothing\> spent all of 20 minutes on it, if that
21:22 <Nothing\> it's a shame, all those people seem to enjoy it so much
21:34 <Nothing\> wish i coulda gotten into it like that
22:29 <Nothing\> although i have so many games on my bucket list, i shouldn't even be thinknig about getting diablo ii cuz i'm in the middle of playing the pc port of the 3d remake of final fantasy iv they made original for the ds
22:42 <Nothing\> ampera was nice enough to randomly buy it for me, the sweet bastard
23:46 <Nothing\> i've never had someone who wasn't family and not obligated to do so who bought be something before. It was really touching.
24:18 <Nothing\> i appreciated the gesture more than i appreciated the actual game, but i've been binging that since he got it for me
24:44 <Nothing\> and before that, i was binging fallout new vegas and final fantasy xii, which i've gotta come back to after this
25:18 <Nothing\> but then there's a new Metroid game being released at the end of the month that i was gonna pre-order so i can have it when it's released, despite the fact taht i'll be broke by then.
25:58 <Nothing\> which reminds me, i never did play the remake of Metroid II after i was so excited to buy it
26:14 <Nothing\> I've just got too many games and not enough attention to go around for them all
26:45 <Nothing\> i've got well over 100 games on steam and I've only played maybe 70% of them if that
28:37 <Nothing\> actually there was another game on steam i just remembered i was gonna get. i forget what it was but it's in my wishlist
29:12 <Nothing\> oh right, learning factory
30:33 <Nothing\> it's one of those factory games, but it uses machine learning somehow in it. It's made by the same guy who made While: true learn() which is a pretty fun and charming game
30:56 Join: steve31 ([email protected]) to #eevblog
31:03 <Nothing\> after playing dyson sphere project i'm not a huge fan of those factory games
31:48 <Nothing\> i spend 4 hours just making a production line to make 1 item, then i accidentally move one piece and the whole thing's gone to bits and i can't get the pieces to go back together properly
32:03 <Nothing\> hey steve how's it going
32:42 <steve31> i just took a handful of sleeping pills, so... slightly drowsy
32:56 <Nothing\> hey, you and me both
33:01 <Nothing\> what's your poison?
33:08 <Nothing\> please don't say the otc ones
33:12 <steve31> diphenhydramine
33:17 <Nothing\> ick
33:26 <Nothing\> yeah those are not good to take a lot of
33:49 <Nothing\> after more than maybe 5 you start getting symptoms of anticholinergic toxicity
34:43 <Nothing\> starts with dry mouth, increased urge to urinate, difficulty urinating, dilated pupils, dizziness, light headedness, loss of motor function relatively benign stuff
35:52 <steve31> I wonder if i've had that before
36:04 <T3sl4> meow
36:25 <Nothing\> but then after maybe 10 of them you start getting hallucinations, and delirium, and i mean REAL full blown hallucinations. Not just seeing some cool patterns like on lsd. You actually hallucinate things and you're not even aware anything's amiss. You'll have a conversation with somebody and then they'll suddenly fade into nothingness and you'll realize the whole thing was a hallucination.
37:01 <Nothing\> Or when i experimented with it in my teens, i'd find myself talking on the phone to my gf at the time, then look down and realize there was no phone in my hand and it's been in the cradle the whole time
37:14 <steve31> lol
37:22 <Nothing\> yet i just spent a good 5-10 minutes having a full, lucid conversation with her
37:36 <Nothing\> it's like being in a living dream, but it's scary because you have no control
37:50 <Nothing\> i've read stories of people who accidentally burned their house down
37:56 <Nothing\> or accidentally killed the family cat
38:09 <Nothing\> that was on a much stronger drug called datura, but it basically does the same thing
38:28 <steve31> i don't know whether to attempt some food
38:36 <Nothing\> and it doesn't feel good at all, it's like a big fever dream
39:31 <Nothing\> and at a point you have to piss like crazy but no matter how hard you try, it's impossible because it paralyzes smooth muscles, which include the detrussor muscles that help empty the bladder and one of your urinary sphincters
39:32 <T3sl4> oh, i grabbed some seeds from the inoxia i found a few neighborhoods over
39:45 <Nothing\> T3sl4, why?
39:51 <Nothing\> i see them everywhere this time of year
39:59 <Nothing\> inoxias and brugmansias
40:02 <T3sl4> tossed them in a clear mulched area of a parking lot nearby
40:07 <Nothing\> ah
40:08 <T3sl4> should look nice there :)
40:14 <Nothing\> they do make nice looking flowers
40:20 <Nothing\> but from what i hear, they're attractive to cats
40:45 <Nothing\> which, given their effects and how easy it is to take a fatal amount, can't be a good thing. If true.
41:00 <T3sl4> also think there's a... just enormous thicket almost, of them in someone's yard along the highway, but i don't get quite a good enough look at it from the road so i'm not sure
41:15 <Nothing\> T3sl4, but yeah that's how a lot of people do it. They take the seeds and grind them up.
41:26 <Nothing\> Or they make a tea from the leaves and/or flowers
41:36 <T3sl4> yeah, i washed my hands after handling those
41:40 <T3sl4> not taking that chance lol
41:54 <Nothing\> but there's such a slim margin between a "recreational dose" and a dangerous and potentially fatal dose
42:18 <Nothing\> T3sl4, actually if you got the juice on your fingers and rubbed your eyes you'd get some nicely dilated pupils
42:58 <Nothing\> but without any of the nasty effects, except maybe the obvious you'd get from dilated pupils, sensitivity to light, headache, everything having halos around them, things of that nature
43:40 <Nothing\> but taht's what woman used to do with atropa belladonna. They'd put the juice in their eyes to dilate their pupils and make them look prettier.
43:57 <Nothing\> which i'll admit, I love nothing more than a woman with nice, big eyes. But that's going a bit far.
44:12 <Nothing\> but that's how it got its name, belladonna
44:35 <Nothing\> and presumably how the drug atropine got its name
45:20 <Nothing\> actually i'm not sure of the reference, but i remember in a stephen king novel there was an evil entity named atropos
45:42 <Nothing\> his counterpart was named lachesis, which i also feel is a reference to something
46:16 <Nothing\> and i've never been quite sure how to pronounce... la-kee-sis?
46:21 <T3sl4> speaking of, i noticed on a recent walk, a yew bush that was nice and gone to seed, lots of those little reddish yew berries on it, but there was probably twice as much nightshade fruit/seed climbing on/through the poor thing heh
46:54 <Nothing\> heh i've got tons of morning glories in my backyard
47:01 <T3sl4> not that that's unusual, just a little striking to make that comparison
47:08 <Nothing\> i've been cross pollinating between the different colors
47:36 <Nothing\> no real rhyme or reason to it though. I'm just mixing everything together to see what happens next year
48:12 <Nothing\> it's crazy though, the things have taken over my entire garden
48:25 <Nothing\> they're no more vines than they are a bush now
48:48 <T3sl4> they can be pretty aggressive, gotta prune in that case
48:58 <Nothing\> they've even engulfed all of the shepherd's hooks and ornaments and spinners and such my mum put out there
49:15 <Nothing\> heh we just let them run wild. We were amused by it.
49:30 <Nothing\> plus they've made so many beautiful flowers.
50:04 <Nothing\> I'd really like to sprinkle some Hawaiian Baby Woodrose in there. I bet that'd compliment them nice if it doesn't get choed out
50:07 <Nothing\> choked out
50:58 <Nothing\> i found this beautiful blue himalayan poppies that i'd love to grow. But upon reading more the directions are obviously for a horticulturalist and they're said to be very difficult to grow
51:35 <Nothing\> but i'd love to grow some sort of tiny blue flowers. I just don't know any that would fit the bill and be easy enough to grow. Can't be that hard to ind a small, blue flower that grows easily.
52:04 <Nothing\> https://rhodygarden.org/c19/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Meconopsis-Dennis-e1335392185467.jpg
52:06 <EEVBot> [Title] - Not Acceptable!
52:35 <Nothing\> something that looks sorta like that, but grows to make ankle height with ~1in flowers
52:50 <T3sl4> nice
54:53 <Nothing\> https://journey2mypeaceofmind.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/fullwidth-0f9deb2d.jpg
54:58 <Nothing\> something like these
55:35 <Nothing\> excetp looking at them, they wouldn't be able to exist in real life. They have no leaves with chloroplasts
55:38 <T3sl4> that's more like violets, or kinda
56:02 <Nothing\> it's jsut a stem with a flower on the end
56:30 <Nothing\> it's from a really great movie/book by philip k dick, though. A Scanner Darkly.
56:47 <T3sl4> ah yes
56:50 <Nothing\> One of the few instances where the film adaptation of a PKD book actually followed the book pretty closely.
57:14 <Nothing\> and one of the few books i've read more than once.
57:34 <Nothing\> actually there are more than a few pkd books alone i've read more than once.
57:54 <Nothing\> i'd lie if i said i wasn't a big fan.
58:38 <Nothing\> except i can't actually read on account of my add/adhd so all of the books i have are in unabridged audiobook format.
59:24 <Nothing\> i was just thinking earlier today i should read man in the high castle again.
59:28 <steve31> brb
00:22 <Nothing\> or re-read ubik. I like those types of books that make you question the nature of reality. And PKD had tons of books like that.
00:45 <Nothing\> Shit, i even based some of my religious beliefs on one of his books (which is based on true events to be fair)
03:15 <Nothing\> actually it was a trilogy, but most of my beliefs come from the first book and i never did finish the third. VALIS, Divine Invasion and The Transmigration of Timothy Archer
03:59 Quit: steve31 ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
04:57 <Nothing\> it had an interesting premise that god/jesus was an or part of an alien species who put an ancient satellite into orbit i think back in apostolic times
05:01 Join: steve31 ([email protected]) to #eevblog
05:57 <Nothing\> and the alien "god" satellite beams massive amounts of information into the protagonist's mind regarding the second coming, christ, god, the nature of reality, gnosticism and things of that nature
06:12 <Nothing\> which pkd believes really happened to him
06:37 <T3sl4> so it's Contact but it's Ancient Aliens :P
06:38 <Nothing\> incidentally while on powerful medications after the dentist
06:44 <Nothing\> i'm sure that had nothing to do with it
07:16 <Nothing\> T3sl4, rationally speaking, it reads like the memoirs of a schizophrenic man
07:40 <T3sl4> pkd wasn't a normal person
08:19 <Nothing\> he even had a tractate he wrote called the cryptica scriptura, which documented all of the information he was privy to
08:35 <Nothing\> which wound up being published in some form. But it's absolutely massive
09:23 <Nothing\> i think it was more on his whole exegesis rather than the scriptura
10:08 <Nothing\> in retrospect though, it's surprising a whole "bona fide" religion like scientology never came out of these books and his experiences
11:19 <Nothing\> it was largely based on gnosticism and the nag hammadi codices
11:35 <Nothing\> which were supposed to be new gospels of the bible that were discovered in the early 1900s
11:46 <Nothing\> like the book of thomas and the book of judas
12:17 <Nothing\> and a lot of stuff about early christians
12:56 <Nothing\> it's a heavy read, but definitely worth reading VALIS if you have the time and energy to give it your full attention
13:58 <Nothing\> it was really heavy on philosophy and (obviously) theology, which are two subjects i'm not terribly strong in so i there was a lot i had to look up to be able to keep up with the book. Plus I had to read it several times to just digest an appreciable amount of it.
14:10 <steve31> i've put the heating on
14:25 <T3sl4> it's been chillyish lately
14:53 <Nothing\> steve31, me too
15:45 <Nothing\> steve31, actually i've had to keep it on all summer. At night it's still been going down to like 15 until recently. Now it's more like 10 or so. But even in the summer it was too cold for me at night. So I'd sometimes have to turn the heat on.
16:15 <Nothing\> it's still relatively warm here during the days. I think around the low 20s
16:30 <Nothing\> defnitely shorts weather on a sunny day.
16:39 <Nothing\> with no wind
16:56 <steve31> i don't seem to have much tolerance for beingtoo hto/too cold atm
17:10 <Nothing\> you and me both
17:16 <Nothing\> i get it really bad from being on methadone
17:23 <Nothing\> that and any sudden change in temperature
17:29 <Nothing\> especially to colder temperatures
18:31 <Nothing\> it's so bad when i wake up in the morning, just going from my bed, which i don't even use a blanket in. I just get warmed by my body heat "reflecting" off of my mattress and back onto me. Though I keep it like 26 degrees in my room.
19:08 <Nothing\> But either way, i go into the rest of the house, which is no colder than maybe 25 and i'm so cold that i'm shivering so severely that it's painful
19:55 <Nothing\> or when i tried to take my nieces swimming, it was at an indoor pool in winter, but the water still elt so damn cold.
21:08 <Nothing\> I tried just jumping in and getting it overwith as one does. And it was literally like jumping into ice water. It just sucked the breath right out of me and I instantly felt like I was dying and my muscles were all cramping up etc. I made a mad dash for the ladder and stayed out the rest of the time after that.
21:51 <Nothing\> actually i normally keep it around 25-26 degrees in here anyways
22:57 * Ampera hugs Nothing\ 
23:02 <Nothing\> though my metabolism is freakishly slow
23:06 * Nothing\ power hugs Ampera 
23:11 <Nothing\> heya buddy how's it going?
23:57 <Ampera> bleh
24:03 <Ampera> I am ready to be done with this day
24:07 <Ampera> it can eat shit
24:17 <Nothing\> but yeah, my normal body temperature is more like 97 degrees than 98.6 and my standing heart rate is 40bpm so it's no wonder i get cold so easy
24:29 <Nothing\> Ampera, that sucks given how young the day is
24:35 <Nothing\> i hate it when that happens
24:42 <Nothing\> what's so bad about today?
24:53 <Nothing\> other than the fact that i've been up since 2:30am
25:16 <Ampera> Last day of work
25:39 <Nothing\> but don't you enjoy the prospect of the weekend being so close?
25:48 <Ampera> I enjoy nothing
25:54 <Nothing\> or is it that you've been working all week so you're burned out
25:57 <Nothing\> aww Ampera
26:00 <Nothing\> i enjoy you too
26:04 <steve31> i want food but nothing seems particularly palatable
26:12 <Nothing\> steve31, i hate it when that happens
26:17 <Nothing\> that happens to me so often
26:45 <Nothing\> like, to the point where i've actually managed to lose almost 10lbs cuz i'm only eating once a day, plus maybe one or two snacks
26:58 <Nothing\> cuz nothing seems pallatable
27:27 <Nothing\> except my mum's home cooking. But in her old age, she doesn't cook every night anymore.
27:35 <Ampera> I seem to be doing this whole intermittent fasting thing wrong, because I eat only once a day and I'm still fat
27:45 <Ampera> and people get mad that I'm starving myself as it is
27:46 <Ampera> :P
27:46 <Nothing\> and not nearly as varied food as she used to
28:04 <Nothing\> Ampera, oh i'm chubby
28:11 <Nothing\> even though i don't think i'm overweight
28:23 <Nothing\> i'm down to 152lbs and 5'7"
28:26 <Ampera> Dieting is like religion
28:29 <Ampera> none of your fucking business :P
28:43 <Ampera> I'm 5'8" and around 170lbs
28:49 <Nothing\> that's okay
28:57 <Nothing\> i was 185 at my heaviest
29:01 <Ampera> I'd rather lose about 30 lbs of that
29:09 <Nothing\> hell, i was 180lbs when i was a teenager
29:12 <Nothing\> BUT
29:17 <Nothing\> i should mention Ampera
29:26 <Ampera> should you?
29:45 <Nothing\> now, i'm not a doctor, but i know the types of hormones you take can cause your body to store an excess of fat
29:58 <Ampera> I've heard similar
30:02 <Nothing\> which by the way, you should be aware of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
30:09 <Ampera> I don't care
30:13 <Nothing\> i got that after i went off testosterone from the fat buildup
30:20 <Nothing\> yeha really it hasn't affected me at all
30:34 <Ampera> The general idea is I never go off these hormones
30:47 <Nothing\> besides the fact that i can say i have diabetes and liver disease and make it sound like i'm 2 steps away from death
30:49 <Nothing\> lol
31:00 * T3sl4 hugs Ampera
31:18 * Ampera snaps T3sl4 in half, hugs both pieces, reassembles them backwards
31:26 <T3sl4> aww
31:35 <Nothing\> man, i'm taking this cannabis concentrate i got back today
32:01 <Nothing\> i got 2 cartridges, but i forgot the stuff hurts my lungs so bad until i had a couple of puffs of the one
32:28 <Nothing\> i haven't opened the other and still have the receipt so i'm hoping they'll just let me exchange it for one i know isn't as hard on the lungs
32:58 <Nothing\> but this stuff, holy crap. I have 2 puffs and my lungs feel like they're on fire and have swollen shut
33:15 <Nothing\> i spend the first 5-10 minutes afterward just trying not to suffocate
33:25 <Nothing\> kinda defeats the purpose of it
35:21 <Nothing\> man, i noticed in this remake of final fantasy XII i was playing. They have menu options for maxing out your Gil and your Liscence Points.
35:42 <Nothing\> i guess it's for if you just wanna play it for the story
36:06 <Nothing\> it also lets you fastforward the game up to 8x.
36:17 <Ampera> I am going to do something later today I have never done before in my life
36:23 <Ampera> go to a supermarket
36:29 <Ampera> in a car
36:32 <Nothing\> which chain?
36:37 <Ampera> Price Chopper
36:44 <Nothing\> nice, we have those here
36:50 <Ampera> I would not have guessed that
36:50 <Nothing\> yellow stores, aren't they?
36:53 <Ampera> no
37:02 <Ampera> These are actually Market 32's, but that's a semantic
37:03 <Nothing\> maybe i'm thinking of another one
37:10 <Ampera> You're probably thinking of Aldi
37:14 <Nothing\> but i know we have price choppers here
37:14 <Ampera> which can certainly be described as yellow
37:16 <T3sl4> something regional
37:25 <Nothing\> no there's a grocery store where everything's yellow
37:30 * T3sl4 wigglys Ampera's piggly
37:34 <Nothing\> the facade, the walls, the bins, etc
37:35 <Ampera> That's Aldi here, yellow floors, yellow walls, yellow people
37:39 <T3sl4> although those have pretty broad national scope too
37:41 <Ampera> T3sl4, we don't have those here
38:05 <Ampera> Our main brands are Price Chopper, Aldi, Shop Rite/Price Rite, Hannaford, Walmart, and BJ's
38:42 <T3sl4> the especially local woodmans here is nice. huge selection, slightly better prices than the nationals. employee owned too
39:34 <Ampera> Price Chopper, despite the name, is the most expensive store in town
39:55 <Ampera> with the exception of Whole Foods, but that's not a grocery store, it's just sad
39:59 <T3sl4> modified motorcycles do tend to be rather expensive
40:13 <Nothing\> no frills
40:14 * Ampera mangles T3sl4 with a moped
40:24 * T3sl4 launders Ampera with a mangle
40:27 <Nothing\> that's what i was thinking of that's got yellow everywhere
40:48 <Nothing\> which, yellow is associated with no name brand stuff here
41:00 <Ampera> I tend to go to Price Chopper as they're close, everywhere, have good produce, a good selection, and you don't get the misanthropes who shop at Walmart
41:15 <Ampera> My dad, being a misanthrope himself, prefers Walmart.
41:15 <T3sl4> No Name has pretty good design
41:15 <Nothing\> i go to walmart or zehrs
41:48 <Ampera> I'm tempted to give BJ's a try. They're akin to Sam's Club, in that they're a membership store that tends to have large stocks of items
42:18 <Nothing\> Ampera, well i can tell you from experience, it's possible to give one to yourself without needing surgery like they say.
42:42 <Ampera> I am going to hurt you in ways you have yet to conceive possible.
42:48 <Nothing\> although i stopped once my i started to lose the feeling in my legs any time i did it
43:07 <Nothing\> fgirude i was compressing a nerve in my spine that ought not be compressed
43:20 <Nothing\> Ampera, at least i didn't describe it in detail
43:27 <Nothing\> and at least you know it's possible
43:30 <Ampera> I will.
43:45 <Nothing\> damned if i ever nutted in my mouth though
43:51 <Ampera> You are going to be slowly and agonizingly shredded through a cheese grater
44:09 <Ampera> The shreds of you I will slowly and carefully reassemble into a living, agonizing, functioning being again
44:16 <Nothing\> i won't lie, i've tasted my semen once out of curiosity. I did not like it one bit and that was the last time i tried.
44:24 <Ampera> and once you have been reassembled, I will set you on fire
44:30 <Nothing\> lol Ampera
44:42 <Ampera> I will watch you melt into a disgusting puddle, and cast you back into your previous shape, still breathing, still hurting
44:43 * T3sl4 sprinkles the Nothing\shreds with some nice pleasant balsamic vinaigritte
44:55 <Nothing\> llo
45:00 <Nothing\> i have been saladed
45:02 <Ampera> After that, I will sentence you to the only punishment I can deem fitting for a demon of your caliber
45:07 <Ampera> I will banish you to East St. Louis
45:18 <T3sl4> no, brother, he's not worth it
45:22 <Nothing\> Ampera, is that a simpsons reference?
45:30 <Ampera> no, that's a here reference
45:39 <Nothing\> i know T3sl4's was
45:50 <Nothing\> T3sl4, let's have a hand for anastasia
45:54 <Nothing\> she loves show business
46:01 <T3sl4> rawr
46:05 <Nothing\> lol
46:22 <Nothing\> i like how he wakes the tiger up BEFORE shooting it with a tranquilizer dart
46:41 <Ampera> What's different about me going to the store is I intend to drive myself alone
46:46 <Ampera> which is something I have never done before
46:53 <Nothing\> Ampera, right on man
46:59 <Nothing\> you got your full liscence?
47:05 <Ampera> yes, weeks ago
47:11 <Nothing\> congrats
47:17 <Nothing\> i'd like to get mine
47:22 <Nothing\> even my learner's permit
47:29 <T3sl4> he drive himself crazy, OOO OOO-OOOH
47:34 <Nothing\> but by mum doesn't feel comfortable with me driving
47:51 <Nothing\> knowing that i'm prescribed at least 2 narcotics which i abuse
48:00 <Nothing\> and that i smoke pot pretty much 24/7
48:05 <Nothing\> she's not wild about letting me drive
48:17 * steve31 feels like sh1t
48:17 <Nothing\> and nor am i wild to get behind the wheel in such a state
48:34 <steve31> I don't think I've had any god days this September
48:46 <steve31> i nearly said this month but realised it ust changed tooctober
48:48 <Nothing\> i've always said it's probably a good thing i never got my license because i would easily have gotten a DUI or 5 if i had
49:05 <Nothing\> oh hey, so it did
49:18 <Nothing\> steve31, it's funny you just made me remember a random membory
49:44 <Nothing\> one of the first times i stayed up past midnight was a september... 30th? is that the last day of september
50:13 <Nothing\> but anyways, i remember lying in bed and looking at the clock and watching it turn over from 11:59 to 12:00 and thinking "happy october"
51:06 <Nothing\> oh hey, you guys wanna see the coolest corn ever?
52:20 <Nothing\> https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71+qsUm7QaL._AC_SX425_.jpg
52:37 <steve31> hehe
52:42 <Nothing\> i didn't even think it was real the first time i saw it, i thought somebody put some sort of candy in a corn cob or something
53:38 <Nothing\> it's called glass gem indian corn apparently
53:43 <steve31> my ears hurt from these headphones
53:48 <Nothing\> i hate that
54:00 <Nothing\> are they those stereo headphones that wrap around your ears?
54:19 <Nothing\> i always got it the worst from those type cuz they'd be squishing my ear against my skull
54:19 <steve31> sennheiser hd202
54:27 <steve31> the cups are too small
54:35 <Nothing\> yeah taht'd do it
54:53 <steve31> my hd555 is comfy but it broke
55:15 <Nothing\> i've never had a pair of headphones until this recent one i have that lasted more than a year
55:22 <Nothing\> they always broke somehow
55:35 <Nothing\> usually i'd run over the corn with my office chair one too many times
55:40 <Nothing\> *cord
00:23 <T3sl4> those jewel corn seeds probably get stuck in the wheels
00:46 Quit: steve31 ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
01:16 <steve30> my mum is on holiday next week
01:24 <steve30> finally some peace and quiet
08:56 * T3sl4 clears the duvet in the master bedroom for steve30
53:59 <electrohead> o/
57:59 * Ampera attack hugs electrohead 
05:31 <Nothing\> hahaha
05:37 <Nothing\> i just remembered Jolt Cola
05:41 <Nothing\> who remembers that
05:45 <Nothing\> the original energy drink
06:09 <Nothing\> then they started releasing these unholy abominations like blue jolt and red jolt
06:10 <Ampera> cola is a sin
06:13 <Ampera> tea is pure
06:17 <Nothing\> oh i know man
06:20 * Ampera has chai spice black tea with maple syrup
06:27 <Nothing\> i had to get a red bull knockoff in lieu of my ice cap :/
06:41 <Ampera> >:(
06:43 <Ampera> not those teas
07:00 <Ampera> buying pre-brewed tea is like buying pre-worn underwear
08:00 <Nothing\> lol
08:04 <Nothing\> what about keurigs?
08:11 <Nothing\> or something like a Tim Horton's tea
08:16 <Nothing\> that comes with the bag in
08:29 <Ampera> tea is great because you can brew it at home just as well as anyone else
08:33 <Nothing\> although, why pay like $2 for something that you could get at home for a quarter
08:51 <Nothing\> not necessarily
09:06 <Nothing\> for one, most people don't realize you're not supposed to boil tea
09:15 <Nothing\> a lot of people bring it to boiling and ruin it
09:27 <Nothing\> or they put the milk in first and scald the milk
09:51 <Nothing\> there have been whole books written on how to properly prepare a cuppa
10:16 <Nothing\> and actually it might be a topic of some interest to you now that i think on it
10:38 <Ampera> I know how to brew tea
10:58 <Nothing\> but either way, i'd never been able to place what redbull drinks are supposed to taste like, so i gave mine to my mum to give me her opinion
11:03 <Nothing\> she says it tastes like a wine cooler
11:04 <Ampera> I boil water in a kettle, pour it into a 500ml mug, put the teabag in it, wait 5 minutes or so, take it out, put the milk and sweetener in it
11:06 <Ampera> mix
11:18 <Ampera> you want water that's just below bowling point for tea
11:25 <Ampera> *boiling
11:32 <Ampera> similar for coffee
11:56 <Nothing\> Ampera, you should try bringing the water up to only 88c, a cheap bulb thermometer can be bought online and calibrated pretty accurately to tell that
12:04 <Nothing\> but the problem with boiling is it produces more tannins
12:16 <Nothing\> which gives the tea a sort of fuzzy taste, if you know what i mean
12:23 <Nothing\> i'm sure you know what tannins taste like
12:30 <Ampera> I hate people who ruin tea just as much as I hate people who overthink tea
12:39 <Ampera> part of why I like tea is because it's insanely easy to make
12:48 <Nothing\> well i'm just making a suggestion to try and improve your tea
12:50 <Ampera> boil, pour, bag, wait, add stuff, done
12:54 <Nothing\> you can take it or leave it for all i care
13:00 <Ampera> Perfect is the enemy of good.
13:28 <Ampera> and as it sits, my tea is good
13:30 <Nothing\> it makes no difference to me. But if you truly enjoy your tea the way it is and have no desire to improve upon it then seriously, all the power to you man
13:35 <Nothing\> i have no problem with it at all
13:50 <Nothing\> i'm not one of those tea or wine or sushi snobs that's like
14:39 <Nothing\> EVERYONE MUST EAT/DRINK THESE THINGS THE EXACT SAME WAY THAT I DO OTHERWISE THEY'RE DOING IT WRONG AND CAN'T ENJOY IT ON NEARLY AS MANY LEVELS AS ME AND ARE THEREFOR INFERIOR TO ME AS THEY ARE LESS CULTURED
14:44 <Nothing\> or something to that effect
14:48 <Nothing\> know what i mean?
15:08 <Ampera> no
15:13 <Ampera> mmm
15:14 <Ampera> sushi
15:17 <Nothing\> not just with food stuff but games too
15:23 <Nothing\> Ampera, know what's weird?
15:27 <Ampera> yes, you
15:37 <Nothing\> i had this melon flavored cannabis concentrate for vaping the other day
15:46 <Ampera> mmm, melons
15:48 <Nothing\> tasted just like watermelon jolly ranchers at first
15:55 <Nothing\> yeah it was delicious, at first
16:17 <Nothing\> but then it had this strange as hell aftertaste exactly like sashimi and sticky rice
16:39 <Nothing\> not fishy, but just really savouriy
16:53 <Nothing\> i guess it was more like the kinkoman's soy sauce
17:03 <Ampera> funny you're here actually, I'm currently doing retests on bugs with fr-CA localization at work
17:04 <Ampera> right now
17:39 <Nothing\> nice
17:53 <Nothing\> although i really don't know THAT much fr-CA
18:09 <Ampera> I don't know any
18:19 <Ampera> this is just to make source strings are coming from resx, and the UI isn't broked
18:22 <Nothing\> even though it's my second strongest language and i took it in school for 9 years, i'd hardly call myself fluent
18:46 <Nothing\> i remember some bits and pieces of grammar, and the rest i picked up from bilingual product packaging
18:59 <Nothing\> prechauffer la four a 400c
19:09 <Nothing\> er 400f
19:15 <Nothing\> 400c is just insane
19:34 <Nothing\> 750f
20:09 <Nothing\> you know, when doing C to F conversion, they say the formula is C * 9 / 5 + 32
20:32 <Nothing\> but frankly i find it easier to just do C * 1.8 + 32
21:03 <Nothing\> i dunno why they don't teach it like that. The fraction just makes it more intimidating and confusing to people unfamiliar with maths
21:47 <Ampera> The real way to convert from celsius is electroshock therapy.
21:58 <Ampera> Keep torturing the individual until they admit Fahrenheit is superior.
23:43 <Nothing\> what about kelvin?
24:19 <Ampera> May I introduce you to my friend Rankine
24:32 <Nothing\> i knew somebody who went by that name
24:35 <Nothing\> on here
24:39 <Nothing\> here being irc
25:02 <Nothing\> but is rankine like the temperature equivalent of gradients?
25:11 <Nothing\> gradians?
25:30 <Nothing\> cuz those always seemed a bit silly to me
25:39 Join: Halcyon ([email protected]) to #eevblog
25:52 * Ampera hugs Halcyon 
25:54 <Ampera> how are you doing Halcyon
26:09 <Nothing\> actulaly i found one amusing system of units you'd get a kic out of Ampera
26:15 <steve30> hi
26:16 <Nothing\> lemme see if i can find it
26:17 <Ampera> we were discussing the superiority of the Rankine scale of absolute temperature measurement as opposed to Kelvin
26:38 * Nothing\ hugs Halcyon and steve30 and Ampera too just for good measure
26:42 <Nothing\> group hug!
26:48 Join: arch ([email protected]) to #eevblog
26:52 <Nothing\> oooh
26:55 * Ampera attacks arch with a greasy slick tentacle
27:00 * Nothing\ pulls arch into the group hug
27:11 <arch> wooo
27:25 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera
27:27 <Nothing\> Ampera, funnily enough i just fought an octopus boss today in that game yo ugot me
27:29 <arch> TGIF
27:30 <Halcyon> I'm fine, just finished work
27:33 <Halcyon> Hey Nothing\
27:38 <arch> tentacle goodness it's friday
27:41 * steve30 collapses onto Halcyon's keyboard
27:47 <Ampera> Halcyon, you're working on Saturday?
27:56 <Nothing\> arch: i always liked the alternative line
28:03 <Nothing\> HOLY TESTICLE TUESDAY!
28:25 <Ampera> but it's not tuesday
28:34 <Nothing\> but if it were
28:37 <steve30> now i'm starting to feel slightly nauseated
28:39 <Nothing\> it would be apropos
28:55 <Nothing\> steve30, aww how come man? you dizzy from the meds?
29:02 <Nothing\> steve30, how many did you take anyways?
30:05 <Halcyon> Ampera, tomorrow is Saturday
30:15 <Halcyon> Well, in 30 minutes
30:41 <Nothing\> steve30, if you really want a sleep aid that's legal, readily available and effective, though also addictive i must warn, i CAN recommend a chemical to you
30:57 <Nothing\> which is safer than taking several otc sleeping pills
31:02 <Ampera> oh, so you're just working really late
31:04 <Ampera> right
31:14 <Nothing\> so long as you take it properly
31:42 * Ampera OD's on them for several days in a row, can never sleep ever again
32:03 <Nothing\> the kicker is, it's not USP or even food grade and is usually sold as things like fuel injector cleaner, PCB cleaner, and industrial solvent
32:04 <arch> melatonin gummies work pretty well for me
32:04 <Ampera> oh god, I had a breakout of hives on my face a while ago, and I was on diphenhydramine for a week
32:18 <Ampera> when I got off it, I had the worst splitting headache I've ever had for actual days
32:23 <Nothing\> but it's perfectly non-toxic
32:39 <Nothing\> Ampera, damn that sucks
32:46 <Nothing\> arch, that's what i usually take
32:51 <Nothing\> 9mg melatonin
32:57 <Ampera> :P
32:59 <Nothing\> it work pretty effectively for me
33:06 * Ampera wonders if to tell people if melatonin is a placebo drug
33:12 <Nothing\> but it's not
33:15 <Ampera> if it works, it's because you think it does
33:23 <Nothing\> just because you don't feel it doesn't mean it doesn't do anything
33:24 <Ampera> there is no evidence of melatonin actually having any serious affects
33:31 <Nothing\> you should read about how it actually works
33:36 <Nothing\> Ampera, so?
33:45 <Halcyon> It's like audiophool cables
33:50 <Nothing\> what's that have to do with its effectiveness as a sleep aid?
33:51 <Ampera> No, because people have run studies as to if it works or is just a placebo, and found it doesn't, means it doesn't work
33:54 <Halcyon> It has some "effect" on some people
33:57 <Ampera> By all means, if it works, keep going
34:16 <Nothing\> Ampera, what studies?
34:33 <Nothing\> what people?
35:00 <Nothing\> Ampera, get off google
35:01 <steve30> I've never tried melatonin.
35:11 <steve30> Its Rx only here (otherwise i'd get some)
35:21 <Nothing\> steve30, it's unique in that it doesn't actually make you sleepy or tired
35:26 <Halcyon> You also have to be careful comparing products masquerating as actual medicine
35:28 <Ampera> Nothing\, I funnily enough don't have every single direct reference to every single article I've read in my mind
35:34 <Nothing\> but rather it "primes" your brain for sleep
35:43 <Nothing\> Ampera, because none exist
35:45 <Halcyon> They often have no useful impact on the body
36:18 <Nothing\> but melatinon DOES have an effect
36:27 <Nothing\> if it didn't our bodies wouldn't bother producing it
36:43 <Nothing\> and it wouldn't be an important hormone for regulating circadian rhythm
36:49 <Halcyon> Indeed. Melatonin is incredibly important for rest
36:52 <Ampera> No I have one right here, I'm just trying to find a free version
36:59 <Halcyon> Light (generally) suppresses it
37:24 <Nothing\> yeah that's the interesting thing
37:24 <Ampera> Melatonin is an important hormone in the brain, however oral melatonin pretty much never actually gets to the brain
37:39 <Nothing\> there's a pathway to the pineal gland causing it to release melatonin when light levels are low
38:00 <Nothing\> Ampera, what's the oral bioavailability of melatonin?
38:31 <Nothing\> and how well can it cross the blood brain barrier
38:56 <Nothing\> because i know the dose of oral melatonin is many orders of magnitude larger than what's secreted by the pineal gland
39:32 <Nothing\> and trptamines generally have pretty good oral bioavailability, not being subject to as extensive first pass metabolism as a typical alkaloid would be
39:37 <Halcyon> It has to be Nothing\ because a lot of it is metabolised or excreted by the body
39:41 <Nothing\> *trytpamines
40:06 <Nothing\> Halcyon, metabolism comes after absorption and distribution
40:18 <Halcyon> Ah of course
40:25 <Nothing\> there are 4 general phases of a drug's action in pharmacology
40:35 <Halcyon> I am very tired
40:38 <Halcyon> Brain is broken
40:51 <Nothing\> administration, distribution, metabolism and elimination
41:02 Join: Sigyn ([email protected]) to #eevblog
41:17 <Ampera> Presently reading a paper on this topic
41:32 <Nothing\> metabolism is where the compound is changed chemically in some way to make it more water soluble so it can be more easily eliminated from the body
41:51 <Nothing\> Ampera, cool if i'm wrong please let me know
42:13 <Ampera> I've on multiple occasions read the evidence is very shaky and conflicting
42:40 <Nothing\> occassions of what? studies?
43:30 <Nothing\> not to make any presumptions about these studies but there are many things which can make a study's results non-credible
43:38 <Nothing\> small sample size, for one
43:45 <Nothing\> not being double blind
43:55 <Halcyon> Not peer reviewed
43:59 <Nothing\> being funded or run by a biased organization
44:14 <Nothing\> yup, or published in a shady peer reviewed journal
44:53 <Nothing\> did i tell you guys i actually managed to become a member of the reviewe board on a medical peer reviewed journal
45:11 <Halcyon> https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/melatonin
45:14 <EEVBot> [Title] - Melatonin | healthdirect
45:28 <Nothing\> they just randomly asked me, so i decided to see how far i could take it
45:33 <Halcyon> There is a good overview and some references to reputable sources
45:34 <Nothing\> turned out i could take it all the way
45:48 <Nothing\> they never once asked for my credentials
45:59 <Nothing\> they asked for the school i worked for, but that was it
46:07 <Nothing\> and what sort of research i was involved in
46:12 <steve30> hehe
46:32 <Nothing\> they didn't even want any more
46:36 <Nothing\> *money
47:25 <Ampera> https://www.research.ed.ac.uk/files/26403010/Evidence_efficacy_of_melatonin_adult_sleep_disorders_ARTICLE_REVISED.docx
47:28 <Ampera> This is the paper I was reading
48:17 <Ampera> I read a good portion of it just now, and it's a paper comparing the results of 13 different studies of the effects of melatonin on sleep disorders
48:46 <Ampera> The results of the studies vary in outcome, but it seems the primary impact was on sleep latency, however significantly larger and smaller in some studies
49:00 * electrohead pokes Halcyon
49:04 <Halcyon> YAY
49:15 <Halcyon> Touch me again :P
50:53 <Ampera> Most of them tended to be differences of 10 minutes, but some a little as 1 or noise, and the studies covered more disorders than simply primary insomnia.
51:14 <Ampera> You can take what conclusions you want from this, but I'm sticking with my original assertion that melatonin probably doesn't do much
51:15 * electrohead pokes Halcyon again
51:16 <electrohead> lol

51:49 <Ampera> This paper was published in Sleep Medicine Reviews, Volume 34, in August of 2017
54:42 <Ampera> https://www.aafp.org/afp/2017/0701/afp20170701p29.pdf
55:18 <Ampera> Another paper states similar, saying the primary effect was an about 7 minute decrease in sleep latency, but no other significant effects
55:31 <Nothing\> Ampera, interesting
55:43 <Nothing\> thanks for sharing, i'll definitely take these into account
