45:58 <Nothing\> softball today, twisted ankles tomorrow.
46:34 <Nothing\> actually the only time i ever rolled my ankle severely was when i was stupidly trying to run around in dress shoes for my grade 8 graduation
46:57 <Nothing\> they couldn't tell if it was broken so they just put it in a cast until the swelling went down enough to tell
47:12 <Nothing\> but it wasn't. I just tore a crapton of soft tissue.
47:47 <Nothing\> i forget what gets torn with an inward roll of the ankle
48:04 <rust_collector> ankle stuff, probably
48:47 <Nothing\> one would hope
49:15 <Nothing\> although one time i got hit in the head and crapped my pants so i think it broke my anus for a moment
49:29 <electrohead> o/
49:36 <Nothing\> heyo electrohead
49:39 <rust_collector> they are probably connected somehow
49:53 <Nothing\> lol i dunno if this is common knowledge or if i'm just slow to the game
50:14 <Nothing\> but i just realized yesterday that those pens you see with the rubbery button on them to click out the pen bit
50:41 <Nothing\> you can use the rubbery nub on the button on touch screens and use the pen as a stylus
50:55 <Nothing\> i wouldn't trust myself not to accidentally use the wrong side though
51:20 <K> or poke some eye
51:21 <Nothing\> if i can light the wrong end of a cork tipped cigarette INDOORS off of a stove...
51:34 <electrohead> yo
51:42 <Nothing\> i mean it's not like it was a paper tip where both ends look the same
51:45 <K> smoking is baaaaaad.
51:46 <rust_collector> I have a baggie of styluses. I would use one of those...if I needed one
51:59 <Nothing\> K, and smoking the wrong end of the cigarette is worse
52:08 <Nothing\> the entire thing goes up in one puff
52:16 <Nothing\> you might as well be smoking an earplug
52:25 <K> a marshmellow
53:07 <Nothing\> lol i remember as a kid when i started smoking there was a schoolyard rumour that the filters had fiber glass in them to make microscopic cuts in your lungs to make them bleed so the nicotine gets in better
53:30 <Nothing\> and this one chick's going around like "here put your hand on my chest, you can feel my lungs bleeding"
53:38 <Nothing\> i was like "uhh OKAY!"
53:50 <Nothing\> "hrm not quite feeling it yet... lemme try here"
54:14 <Nothing\> oh yeah i think i can feel it a bit, maybe if i move more like this
54:17 <Nothing\> lol
54:28 <Nothing\> and that's how i became a daddy!
55:19 <Nothing\> lol actually it was while i was drunk in my friend's basement listening to a beatles LP with my gf i'd been with for 3 days
55:22 <rust_collector> if that made her pregnant, either you are not the dad, or you must have prayed a LOT
55:36 <Nothing\> lol rust_collector
55:50 <Nothing\> i always used a rubber till that fateful day
55:58 <Nothing\> figures, first time i ever decide to not use a rubber
56:10 <Nothing\> but at least i got my dna out there, even if she doesn't have my name
56:27 <Nothing\> it's sad, i realized both of my family lines are dying out with my brother and i
56:33 <Nothing\> because we both had all daughters
57:02 <rust_collector> and girls do not count
57:08 <K> useless.
57:20 <rust_collector> put them out in the forest
57:22 <Nothing\> not when it comes to spreading your last name
57:29 <K> y?
57:39 <Nothing\> because they don't usually keep it upon marriage
57:44 <K> girl can decide to keep it
57:45 <rust_collector> they can keep it, if they want
57:53 <K> i know some that did that
57:55 <Nothing\> K, sure they can but they don't usually
57:59 <K> eh.
58:08 <Nothing\> and even if they do, it's not guaranteed the kid will get her name
58:18 <rust_collector> you people on that continent are so backwards
58:19 <Nothing\> at best, probably just be hyphenated
58:24 * Ampera hugs Nothing\ 
58:33 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera 
58:37 <Nothing\> hey buddy
58:38 <Ampera> how are you, nowhere man?
58:44 <Nothing\> in pian
58:47 <Nothing\> and pain
58:50 <K> in piano
58:51 <Ampera> that's good
58:52 <Nothing\> as usual
58:56 <rust_collector> pian-o
58:57 <Ampera> life is pain
59:05 <Ampera> and thus, you can rest assured of your vivacity
59:11 <Nothing\> gotta say, i'm new to this being in intolerable pain every day thing
59:23 <Nothing\> but i can see now how badly it affects people
59:30 <rust_collector> oh, don't worry, it will get worse
59:30 <Ampera> What sort of pain
59:32 <Nothing\> it's not just the pain, there's so much more to it
59:37 <Nothing\> Ampera, right now, bowel
59:45 <Ampera> I wish I had pain
59:47 <Nothing\> actually that's usually what it is
59:47 <Ampera> the french kind, of course
59:53 <Nothing\> bread is good
00:00 <Ampera> I have none
00:03 <Nothing\> pain est tres bien
00:08 <Ampera> that's a lie, I have bread in my freezer
00:09 <Nothing\> est? et?
00:12 <Nothing\> i forget
00:14 <Ampera> but that's frozen bread in my freezer, and thus a bit hard
00:29 <Nothing\> well now you've got protection against burglars
00:43 <Ampera> Yes, I do in fact, own a rifle
00:45 <Nothing\> lol i keep a golf club hidden in every room myself
00:55 <Nothing\> Ampera, what kind?
00:58 * Nothing\ squints
01:01 <Ampera> high pressure air
01:05 <rust_collector> you want them to beat you with golf clubs?
01:20 <Nothing\> Ampera, actually that could kill somebody if you hit em in the right place
01:23 <Ampera> I know
01:27 <Nothing\> hell they even make .22 gauge air guns
01:32 <Ampera> .177 steel at around 800fps
01:46 <Ampera> pretty much the velocity of a .22lr but at .177
02:35 <Nothing\> Ampera, i dunno if you're familiar with the show outside of my ramblings about it but there was a show back in the 90's called rescue 911 hosted by william shatner that basically told stories of people who were saved by 911. I guess as a way of educating the public about it. And it worked great for me, tbh.
02:58 <Nothing\> but that aside, there was an episode where a kid was screwing around with an air gun and accidentally shot another kid in the heart
03:01 <Nothing\> from across the street
03:22 <Ampera> in other news, I'm thinking of getting a new laptop
03:23 <Ampera> https://www.lenovo.com/us/en/p/laptops/thinkpad/thinkpadt/thinkpad-t15g-gen-2-(15-inch-intel)/20ys001sus
03:26 <Ampera> is what I'm considering
03:43 <Nothing\> nobody knew what happened cuz the kid was just randomly firing out his window and not at anything in particular, and nobody around the victim knew about it. They just saw the victim suddenly go down for no apparent reason.
03:54 <Nothing\> and of course being a kid, the shooter chickened out and hid.
04:05 <Nothing\> i forget how they figured out what happened
04:32 <Nothing\> but it was the 80s or 90's so it's not like they could just do a CT scan and find something
04:56 <Nothing\> they probably had CT scanners back then but they were probably exceedingly rare and crappy
05:16 <Nothing\> probably real low resolution to deal with the computers being slower
05:57 <steve30> I was just watching a video I did a few weeks ago on my SVHS-C camcorder. I want to copy the video onto a standard VHS tape, but I could do with a proper editing VCR. But I don't have one so I'll have to use a standard VCR.
06:02 <Nothing\> man, i read this story in the news a while ago about this radiologist who for some reason gave a toddler 200 ct scans in a matter of an hour or two
06:16 * Ampera attacks steve30 with the thinkpad
06:19 <Nothing\> they found the kid had chromosome damage and radiation burns
06:31 <Ampera> sadly not murder grade, so I can only inflict a stiff bludgeoning
06:41 <Nothing\> lol
06:57 <Nothing\> yeah steve jobs didn't have cancer
07:04 <Nothing\> he was just killed by the newest thinkpad
07:18 <Nothing\> cuz everyone knows he worked at lenovo
07:22 <Nothing\> secretly
07:30 <Nothing\> yes, that will cover up that blunder nicely
07:40 <Ampera> wasn't thinkpad still owned by IBM when jobs died?
07:43 <Ampera> I forget when they were bought out
07:52 <Nothing\> lol no clue
08:11 * steve30 has a murder weapon grade thinkpad :D
08:19 <Nothing\> i just know steve jobs chose to wash his feet in a toilet rather than get radiation and chemo for his cancer
08:33 <Nothing\> considering he had the one fucking type of pancreatic cancer that's actually easily treatable
08:41 <Ampera> it was 2005
08:42 <Ampera> so no
08:44 <Nothing\> and not an immediate death sentence like patrick swayze's
08:59 <Nothing\> he didn't die in 2005
09:03 <Nothing\> did he?
09:13 <steve30> he died in 2011
09:19 <Nothing\> yeah
09:20 <Ampera> I was getting confused because Lenovo bought IBM's server lines in 2014
09:23 <Nothing\> that's what i thought
09:24 <Ampera> which is after afaik
09:27 <steve30> Lenovo bought the thinkpads in 2005
09:33 <Ampera> yeah he died in 2011
09:37 <Nothing\> ah there's where the confusion was
09:47 <Nothing\> you were probably thinking of that, Ampera
09:54 <Ampera> thinking of what
10:05 <Nothing\> <steve30> Lenovo bought the thinkpads in 2005
10:11 <Ampera> yes, I said that before
10:13 <Ampera> you missed it
10:17 <Nothing\> apparently
10:23 <Ampera> "it was 2005"
10:34 <Ampera> (that lenovo bought the PC line)
10:44 <Nothing\> ah
10:51 <Ampera> my confusion was from IBM's PC compatible server lineup that they sold in 2014
10:58 <Ampera> so I thought they sold the thinkpads later on than 2005
11:06 <Nothing\> i wonder if it's been an hour since i took my poopills yet
11:16 <Nothing\> it's so stupid, i can't take them within an hour of any other meds
11:54 <Nothing\> so when i wake up first thing in the morning in WD from my methadone, but having to poop and not being able to it's either take the methadone and miss my window, or take laxatives and endure the withdrawals another hour or so
12:04 <Nothing\> which doesn't sound long, but it's an eternity when you feel that way
12:10 <Nothing\> either way
12:45 <Nothing\> i hate my body
13:00 <Nothing\> such a fucking broken ass liability
13:49 <Nothing\> i realized that's why i love dreams so much
13:56 <Nothing\> there's no pain in dreams (usually)
14:01 <Nothing\> i don't feel my body
14:06 <Nothing\> not even weight
14:17 <Nothing\> it's just a purely ethereal experience
14:24 <Ampera> I feel everything in dreams
14:25 <Nothing\> exactly the way i wish life was
14:29 <Ampera> if I have my arm chopped off, I feel it
14:31 <Ampera> if I'm shot, I feel it
14:36 <Nothing\> Ampera, yeah i feel stuff too like that sometimes
14:45 <Ampera> it's part of why I love dreams
14:52 <Ampera> it lets me understand pain and suffering
14:54 <Nothing\> it's why when i'm lucid i'm still afraid of heights, which is why it took me forever to learn how to fly
15:01 <Nothing\> because i knew if i fell, it'd still hurt
15:08 <Ampera> I've never lucid dreamed
15:15 <Nothing\> it's like i"r"l
15:25 <Nothing\> even though i don't consider it to be reality
15:29 <Nothing\> i still treat it as such
15:52 <Nothing\> because even if it's not real, it still feels real, and so do the consequences of my actions
16:09 <Nothing\> if i had some way to enter and exit reality as i please, that'd be another story
16:22 <Nothing\> or control it in some manner
17:22 <steve30> i don't tend to get dreams these days (or if i do i don't remember them)
17:34 <Nothing\> me neither from smoking pot
17:46 <Nothing\> it stops you dreaming for some reason, or at least from remembering them
17:58 <Nothing\> but then you stop smoking and you have tons for the first week or two
19:04 <Nothing\> lol i remember back in the day there was this stuff i found called "dream herb" aka calea z. which indians apparently used to enhance their dreamstates
19:23 <Nothing\> so i got a few grams of the stuff from a botanical place online, try smoking a bit
19:45 <Nothing\> and the smoke is the most god awful bitter tasting stuff i've ever had the misfortune of tasting
20:06 <Nothing\> it was so bitter it almost made me puke. And this is just the smoke. I didn't even know smoke could have a taste like that.
20:23 <Nothing\> So stupid me, i decided to try making a tea instead. big mistake.
20:42 <Nothing\> the tea was even more bitter. to the point it felt caustic. and i finally threw up after 1 or 2 sips
21:08 <Nothing\> and the stuff is so short lasting, you basically have to go to bed immediately after consuming it or it won't work

28:49 <Ampera> hi dudeguy
32:10 <Nothing\> huh, those missionaries that were kidnapped in haiti are being held for a $17 million ransom
32:15 <Nothing\> goodluck getting that
32:30 <Nothing\> rofl
32:55 <Nothing\> my bigger cat just jumped up on the table and beat on my smaller cat until she moved so he could sit there
33:26 <Nothing\> he does that to her so much, either with the spot she's sitting in or if she's playing with a toy even if he doesn't want it. He'll beat her up and take it from her.
33:43 <Nothing\> or even if my mom pays attention to her and not him, he'll beat on her.
33:51 <Nothing\> total big brother
34:28 <Nothing\> lol Ampera did i tell you i made them a bed on my floor
34:34 <Ampera> no
34:38 <Ampera> well yes
34:39 <Ampera> you just did
34:42 <TheDude> hey
34:42 <Nothing\> lol
34:48 * Ampera hugs TheDude 
34:51 <Nothing\> yeah i put a couple of towels down for them
34:53 <Ampera> how are you dood
34:58 <TheDude> missionary for 17 million?
35:00 <Nothing\> and some horizontal scratching posts for pillows
35:04 <Nothing\> TheDude, lol yeah
35:09 <TheDude> at least they could offer other positions for that amount of money
37:35 <Ampera> Man, I miss Lemon
37:46 <Ampera> Ysjoelfir, have you heard anything from him lately?
38:39 <Ysjoelfir> Ampera https://snipboard.io/Fwmyfz.jpg
38:47 <Ysjoelfir> does that answer your question? :/
39:04 <Ampera> not since the 31st month of 2021?
39:27 <Ampera> I know how things are in France, I hope he didn't get decapitated
40:20 <Ysjoelfir> I wrote him a message even before that, from july. wasn't delivered as well.
41:10 <Ampera> :/
42:31 <rust_collector> wasn't he moving to his own place again?
44:48 <Ampera> He sounds like he has a lot of money problems, so I don't know what might be going on there
47:58 <Ysjoelfir> why could that be the case.... but yes, he has/had/has had.
48:35 <rust_collector> ooh shiny!
49:21 <Ysjoelfir> exactly
51:11 <Ampera> bite my shiny metal ass
51:32 <rust_collector> well, I don't think you get very rich, if you don't have a job in france. so I am sure money is tight. or maybe he went back to collecting rubiks cubes again
52:37 <Ysjoelfir> I still have my "Hand-modified by Lemon" cube he brought me as a gift
52:44 <Ampera> aww
52:47 <Ampera> that's cool
53:02 <rust_collector> all the sides are orange?
53:53 <Ysjoelfir> nah. its a pretty normal one, but with polished joints and glossy finish on the colored parts, so it looks and feels just realy great
56:37 <K> mayhaps anyone has a broken sansa clip+ ?
56:52 <K> membrane button on mine failed :/
57:15 <rust_collector> I doubt I know what that is, so maybe not...
57:38 <Ysjoelfir> I actually maybe realy know someone who could have one
58:01 <Ysjoelfir> at least she loved her older sansa, so she might have got the clip+ as well

19:52 <T3sl4> wow, i'm just now noticing, at least on this datasheet, TI uses a vector graphic for the chip image in the headline
20:06 <T3sl4> the label on it is text and searchable
21:27 <steve30> hi
26:49 * T3sl4 gives steve30 a saucer of coffee
27:17 <steve30> :p

40:57 <Ysjoelfir> LBC?
41:05 <Ysjoelfir> Long black cock?
43:52 <K> hello rubber chickens
43:53 <EEVBot> Hello, K!
44:01 * steve30 woke up
44:09 <K> Ysjoelfir, i gots the packags
44:20 <Ysjoelfir> yeah!
44:22 <Ysjoelfir> nice
44:24 <K> had to get up half an hour earlier (gasp)
44:30 <Ysjoelfir> :O
44:33 <Ysjoelfir> oh dang it
44:39 <K> terrible
46:19 <K> and it came assembled!
48:56 <Ysjoelfir> shit! :P
49:47 <Ysjoelfir> well, that was the case because this is the one I built for myself. but as I ahaven't done anything since I moved to hamburg (btw: Got an apartment yesterday!!!) I thought you could use that more than I do right now
50:12 <K> uh
50:52 <K> from the looks of it it will be a month till i get time to do avr stuff :/
51:06 <K> congrats on apartment
54:09 <steve30> Is the apartment good?
00:59 <Ysjoelfir> K - thats fine, no prob :)
01:55 <Ysjoelfir> steve30 - I hope so. It looked good. 86m2, 3rd floor, nice balcony, 860€ cold
02:23 <steve30> nice

22:26 <T3sl4> chickenwich?
28:33 <K> stop playing with food
28:38 <Halcyon> Mmm chicken
29:37 * T3sl4 beer-butts Halcyon
29:46 <Halcyon> Explain?
30:00 <T3sl4> (roast a chicken over a beer can for steam/flavor)
30:05 <Halcyon> Ahhh
30:12 <Halcyon> I'm not a beer person so I've never made it
37:11 <T3sl4> you just soak your coq in vin
37:32 <Halcyon> Indeed
37:44 <Halcyon> I haven't made that for a while, it's about time I probably do it again
49:45 <K> heh, i will have chickun for supper tonight
49:54 <Halcyon> What kind of chickun
49:56 <K> chickun w some potat
50:09 <K> not sure
50:58 <K> the whole chickun gets put into a big cast iron thing and then left to cook for 1.5h
51:06 <K> w some spices and whatnot
51:23 <T3sl4> that's a good way to chikkun
51:29 <Halcyon> Yummy

24:08 <steve30> 0.0
28:08 <steve30> yes, i know I should probably keep away from politically correct reddits
28:13 <steve30> Anyway, I have chips.
28:29 <steve30> (I fried some chips here as i couldn't be bothered going to the chip shop)
48:34 <T3sl4> is that so, swarmofbees steve30?
50:57 <Seng> Hey. I have a new laptop battery pack that worked for a week, but then stopped charging. My computer says the battery reports it being at 100% charged despite only measuring 8V (should be 10.8V). Any good advice for troubleshooting? I have the gear (I think) just not much of the knowledge.
51:50 <T3sl4> sounds like the batt controller gave up, also possibly one cell failed so uh yeah
51:54 <Seng> each pair of cells (it's a 6-cell battery) measure around 2.5V
52:02 <T3sl4> oh
52:39 <Seng> I visually veryfied all the joints and components on the bat. controller. Nothing really seems out of order.
53:15 <T3sl4> that's close to the lower cutoff where it'll at least stop if not brick outright
53:15 <Seng> Also the voltage across all of the cells stays at 8V even when it's plugged into the laptop and the laptop is on AC.
53:45 <T3sl4> right, it won't try and charge until everything says go
55:19 <Seng> Is it possible to force charge the cells just a little? or short circuit the charge protection?
55:48 <Seng> With force charge I mean hook up an external charger directly to the cells :)
56:04 <Seng> IIRC that's a thing with LiPo cells, right?
56:13 <Seng> These are Li-Ion
56:39 <T3sl4> you can try doing it manually, but if the controller doesn't buy it it's still bricked
58:18 <K> does the old pack beheave better?
59:25 * T3sl4 beehives K
59:43 * K buzzes
00:05 <T3sl4> \o/
00:44 <Seng> K, ask the recycling station :')
00:50 <K> ah.
01:38 <T3sl4> either you got a lemon, or the thing it's plugging into is a lemon /and a killer/
04:32 <Seng> no matter what outcome it's free 18650 cells!! :D
05:02 * Ampera pokes Halcyon 
05:08 <Seng> "free" as in I've already paid for them ._.
23:05 <Seng> There are two MC's on the battery controller, both marked 3013J7 and AY2AD (top/bottom text). Both 8 pin SMD components. I haven't been able to find them by googling. Any ideas?
23:31 <T3sl4> IR?
24:27 <Seng> infrared??
24:35 <T3sl4> hm probably not
24:36 <T3sl4> any logo?
25:28 <K> MC's ?
26:57 <Seng> I took a picture :) https://hurtig.ninja/a7f36175/IMG_20211020_132535-jpg

27:24 <K> my guess would be some mosfets
27:45 <T3sl4> ^
29:22 <T3sl4> those are 5x6mm or so?
