00:26:14 <electrohead> lol
00:26:28 <electrohead> alright, coffee is started
00:28:41 <Sigyn> I'm debating if I should start the coffee or not today
00:29:03 <electrohead> just stop over my place :p
00:29:17 <electrohead> I have coffee and lots of electronics, computers, and toys to play with as well
00:29:19 <electrohead> cheers lol
00:30:25 <Ampera> "toys"
00:30:29 <Ampera> he's gonna stick an SDR up your ass
00:30:56 <DHess_US> Or chain you to a bed of legos.
00:32:31 * K waffles
00:33:07 * Ampera slaps K with a sandwich made of two slices of french toast, a pancake, and a waffle, drenched in maple syrup
00:33:16 <Ampera> and REAL maple syrup, not that communist Canadian crap
00:33:49 <K> Canadian carp
00:33:59 <K> as vicious as their geese
00:34:27 <Ampera> when you stick your dick in a fish but it has teeth
00:34:45 <K> mhh
00:35:15 <electrohead> I'm pretty sure it would be extremely hard to shove the Ettus B200 up someone's ass, ampera
00:35:16 <electrohead> lol
00:35:58 <Ampera> hard tends to be useful when anal is involved
00:36:44 <electrohead> so DHess_US, how you doing?
00:36:59 * electrohead slowly gets away from Ampera
00:37:08 <DHess_US> Why am I in this basket, and where is it going?
00:37:20 <Ampera> to see your grandmother, down a river
00:43:04 <electrohead> you must be really tiny to fit in a basket
00:43:11 <electrohead> either that, or the basket is huge lol
00:44:43 <Sigyn> Would i get to keep the sdr?
00:46:53 <K> cling on to it yea
00:50:54 <Sigyn> klingon
00:51:29 <electrohead> I'll give you one of the rtl-sdr dongles, how's that?
00:52:56 <Sigyn> What do you take me for?
00:53:04 * electrohead shrugs
00:53:06 <electrohead> lol
00:53:20 <Sigyn> I don't put out for cheap sdrs
00:53:37 <electrohead> fine.
00:53:48 * electrohead breaks out the hackRF
00:54:36 <Sigyn> The only SDR I have is the RSP1A, which is quite nice.
00:59:10 <electrohead> Ahh, yeah I've seen references to this
00:59:18 <electrohead> You like it, I take it?
01:02:35 <Sigyn> Yeah
01:03:09 * Ysjoelfir pokes electrohead in the eye
01:05:46 <K> which eye?
01:07:15 <electrohead> lol
01:07:43 <Sigyn> its has lots of filters and works down low
01:08:05 <electrohead> Ysjoelfir: so I had to crack that beer open, that was really good
01:08:26 <+Ysjoelfir> the small can you mean?
01:10:01 <electrohead> no, the big one
01:10:02 <electrohead> :p
01:20:23 <+Ysjoelfir> :P
01:26:17 <+Ysjoelfir> so, mr. head, when do you post the photos of your goodies and write a detailed review?

01:33:20 <Nothing\> heyo
01:33:38 <Nothing\> anyone know if they make LEDs with collimating lenses built onto them?
01:33:52 <Nothing\> like how LEDs can have diffusion... i dunno lenses? on them
01:34:04 <Nothing\> to make the light softer
01:34:32 <Nothing\> i was hoping they made ones that make the light more uni-directional. Like a collimator
01:37:57 <Nothing\> i was thinking if i could get a collimated IR LED, that would probably work better in my homebrew optocouplers than just wrapping a normal 5mm IR LED and a phototransistor in heatshrink
01:38:25 <Nothing\> though i'd imagine a collimated lens would cost more since it's not just a simple shape

02:00:56 * Ampera hugs TheDude
02:01:00 <Ampera> how are you guys doing?
02:05:47 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera
02:05:58 <Nothing\> i'd be doing a lot better if i weren't in horrible pain
02:06:05 <Nothing\> but otherwise in good spirits
02:06:17 <Nothing\> at least it's coming in waves now, which means one of the meds i took for it is working
02:06:20 <Nothing\> or all
02:06:30 <Nothing\> but fuck this is unreasonable man
02:06:41 <Ampera> It sounds like it
02:06:42 <Nothing\> if i'm still feeling this way tomorrow i'm going to the hospital
02:06:48 <Nothing\> 6 weeks of this is too much
02:07:13 <Nothing\> i mean it comes and goes in severity, but it's always there
02:07:48 <Nothing\> and it doesn't matter if i've just pooped, if i've pooped my guts out, if i've had any laxatives, if i've taken nothing, there's just no rhyme or reason to it
02:08:02 <Nothing\> except that it seems to somehow be worse when I'm NOT blocked up
02:08:14 <steve31> hi
02:08:34 <Ampera> sounds like something might actually be wrong
02:08:34 <Nothing\> i'll clean myself out ileum to anus and still be in agony and still feel just the same as i did when i was blocked up
02:08:36 <Ampera> maybe you hurt something
02:08:52 <Nothing\> yeah i dunno something feels really wrong in there
02:09:01 <Nothing\> very swollen and painful
02:09:30 <Nothing\> colitis seems the most likely suspect but i mean there are sooo many causes of colitis
02:09:39 <Nothing\> doesn't seem to be an infection because i have no fever
02:10:09 <Nothing\> lol in fact i actually thought my thermometer was broken cuz every time i've checked my temperature with it it says my temperature's about 2 degrees lower than normal
02:10:16 <Nothing\> around 97.0
02:10:40 <Nothing\> but my mum says she's always had normal readings, so i guess i just naturally have a lower body temperature than normal
02:11:11 <Nothing\> probably on account of all of the sedating drugs i take slowing down my metabolism. Which tells me (in theory) i should live longer than the average person
02:11:39 <Nothing\> and yes, i'm being facetious
02:12:03 <Nothing\> you know what's really weird though, Ampera?
02:12:13 <Nothing\> when i'm sitting on the toilet, everythingf eels perfectly fine
02:12:38 <Nothing\> like i don't have to be trying to go or do anything like that. Just sitting on the toilet and letting everything sorta "hang"
02:12:46 <Nothing\> somehow it feels so much better
02:13:03 <Nothing\> like 100%
02:13:41 * steve31 pets Nothing\
02:13:46 * Nothing\ purrs
02:14:14 <Nothing\> heh i'm giving my cat her morning workout
02:14:29 <Nothing\> ie getting her to chase a laser back and forth until she's literally panting like a dog
02:14:49 <Nothing\> it's weird, i've never heard cats do that before but she gets so excited and wound up over the laser she goes nuts
02:15:44 <electrohead> Ysjoelfir: hey, here's the link to said pictures (there are other pictures included) - https://imgur.com/a/qWuTgUt
02:15:44 <EEVBot> [Title] - Imgur: The magic of the Internet
02:15:47 <Nothing\> the vet says they're both about 1lb overweight, which doesn't sound much but for a cat it's like being 10lbs overweight
02:15:48 * electrohead waves at Nothing\
02:15:59 * Nothing\ powerhugs electrohead
02:16:01 <Nothing\> heya buddy
02:16:04 <Nothing\> how ya doing?
02:16:05 <electrohead> hey sexy
02:16:06 <electrohead> lol
02:16:11 <Nothing\> oohhoohoo
02:16:12 <electrohead> I'm alright, doing the work thing
02:16:17 <electrohead> you?
02:16:21 <Nothing\> mr electrohead i do declare
02:16:24 * Nothing\ fans himself
02:16:32 <Nothing\> i'm miserable
02:16:33 <electrohead> :p
02:16:34 <Nothing\> in pain
02:16:40 * electrohead makes it go away
02:16:44 <Nothing\> i mean good spirits mentally, considering
02:16:57 <Nothing\> but physical my body is quite displeased with something
02:17:06 <Nothing\> has been for weeks
02:17:07 * steve31 meows at electrohead
02:17:23 * electrohead gets meow'd at
02:17:29 <Nothing\> i took some toradol, i dunno how well nsaids will work for bowel cramps
02:17:35 <Nothing\> but at this point i'm willing to try anything
02:17:52 <Nothing\> i'd hate to say it but i think i need a scope
02:17:56 <+Ysjoelfir> electrohead ah, you asked me yesterday about refridgerating. I think I don't have to tell you that the mustard (Bautzener SEnf) and the Fruit ketchup (Hela FruitUP) need to be cooled after opening as well
02:18:10 <Nothing\> ah shit, i needed a scope 2 years ago according to my doctor
02:18:13 <Nothing\> but i chickened out
02:18:19 <+Ysjoelfir> and lol, the sugar waffles look a bit fucked and the cake is a bit dented xD
02:18:24 <Nothing\> but at this point i don't really care anymore. I just want this gone.
02:18:30 <jaymax> For mah murican friends, but this applies anywhere. Hope y'all have been ahead of this warning. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-11-02/chinese-warning-to-stock-food-causes-worried-online-chatter
02:18:45 <steve31> i think i'll put the heating on
02:18:50 <Nothing\> jaymax, is this more stuff due to supply chain issues?
02:18:58 <Nothing\> or is this related to their national debt?
02:19:04 <Nothing\> cuz both are messed up
02:19:07 <jaymax> Supply chain
02:19:21 <Nothing\> they basically have what? till december to come up with a trillion dollars
02:19:26 <electrohead> Ysjoelfir: just a tiny bit xD
02:19:27 <Nothing\> or they default on their national debt
02:19:34 <Nothing\> or so i understand
02:19:39 <jaymax> China gov telling their people to stock up.
02:19:48 <Nothing\> really?
02:19:51 <K> uhh, that fritzbox looks effed up
02:19:53 <jaymax> yup
02:19:59 <Nothing\> i thought the supply chain issue was with goods coming FROM china
02:20:16 <Nothing\> at least that's what i heard. But maybe they have their own supply chain issues as well.
02:20:26 <jaymax> "A statement from China’s government urging local authorities to ensure there was adequate food supply during the winter and encouraging people to stock up on some essentials prompted concerned talk online, with people linking it with the widening coronavirus outbreak, a forecast cold snap, or even rising tensions with Taiwan."
02:20:44 <Nothing\> from what i've heard, economists are saying things will probably get worse before they get better. But they will get better.
02:20:56 <Nothing\> that it's all from the turmoil caused by covid
02:21:09 <jaymax> Still a lot of room for worse.
02:21:15 <Nothing\> jaymax, did you hear about the gasoline shortages in the UK last week?
02:21:22 <Nothing\> 90% of pumps ran dry across the country
02:21:38 <jaymax> Weeks ago
02:21:44 <Nothing\> was it?
02:21:50 <Nothing\> my sense of time isn't what it used to be
02:21:56 <jaymax> It was building up
02:21:59 <Nothing\> ah
02:22:01 <K> is gas ok now?
02:22:05 <Nothing\> i have no clue
02:22:10 <Nothing\> i haven't heard anything about it
02:22:26 <jaymax> steve31 hows the petrol?
02:22:37 <Nothing\> hrm
02:22:55 * Nothing\ looks at the rectifier he pulled out of a microwave and wonders how he can decap it
02:22:58 <steve31> there were shortages a few weeks ago but i haven't heard anything since
02:23:14 <Nothing\> steve31, yeah i'm sure that's what i'm thinking of
02:23:15 <K> everyone switched to riding horses again
02:23:17 <Nothing\> panic buying
02:23:20 <Nothing\> i think was the cause
02:23:23 <Nothing\> wasn't it?
02:23:26 <K> good thing you did not switch tha driving sides
02:23:28 <Nothing\> or had something to do with it
02:23:39 <K> prolly both
02:23:41 <steve31> panic buying never helps in these situations, but there was also a shortage of drivers to drive the tankers
02:23:50 <Nothing\> ah okay
02:23:54 <electrohead> Ysjoelfir: the fritzbox still smells like brathering
02:24:00 <steve31> I don't by petrol so haven't really been affected personally
02:24:04 <+Ysjoelfir> K the pics on the bottom are not the fritzbox I assume :D at least I don't know of any fritzbox that looks like an amp^^
02:24:14 <+Ysjoelfir> electrohead lol. open it up and wash it
02:24:14 <Nothing\> steve31, you have been, just not as directly.
02:24:18 <K> ah.
02:24:29 <Nothing\> in the form of increased cost of consumer goods
02:24:38 <Nothing\> you have or will at some point
02:24:54 <steve31> well, driver shortages have resulted in small shortages in food and reduced public transport
02:25:01 <electrohead> Ysjoelfir: I shall :P
02:25:23 <electrohead> I wiped the case down completely, and let it air dry. I shall soak everything in alcohol probably tonight or tomorrow
02:26:05 <+Ysjoelfir> nah. just open it up, wash it and than soak the PCB in alcohol for a few mins and let it evaporate
02:31:30 <K> or have the cat lick it clean
02:35:06 <Nothing\> interesting
02:35:16 <Nothing\> apparently antarctica is colder than the arctic
02:35:42 <Nothing\> because the arctic is just an ice sheet on top of relatively warm water, so it gets more warmth from there
02:36:16 <Nothing\> and antarctica is very mountainous. I think the pole is at something like 8,000 feet elevation
02:37:45 <Nothing\> also there are no penguins in the arctic
02:37:51 <Nothing\> which i feel like part of me already knew
02:38:09 <Nothing\> but i always felt like Pingu took place in the arctic for some reason

11:14:15 <electrohead> T3sl4: have fun
11:14:31 <electrohead> at least tell us how many of those are 'magic'
11:14:33 <electrohead> :p
11:14:51 <T3sl4> shrug, the thin ones on the right might be psilocybe
12:02:57 * electrohead makes T3sl4 magical
12:03:12 <T3sl4> redundant
12:03:36 <electrohead> no, you'e a towel.

13:57:19 <T3sl4> Ampera: https://i.imgur.com/nUvXJzG.mp4
13:57:50 <Ampera> oh I've seen that trap before
13:57:52 <Ampera> also
13:57:54 * Ampera hugs T3sl4
13:57:59 <T3sl4> *hugs*
13:58:07 <Ampera> how are you doing
13:58:18 <T3sl4> i got a new used car
13:58:43 <Ampera> have you used your new used car?
13:58:55 <T3sl4> it's a used new used car
13:59:24 <Ampera> are you getting used to your used new used car?
13:59:36 <T3sl4> in time
13:59:49 <Ampera> I need to get myself a car
13:59:57 <Ampera> I'm in two minds as to what I should get
14:00:15 <Ampera> either I buy old-ish beaters and run them until they crap themselves
14:00:35 <Ampera> or I buy a newer used car a few years old and hope the maintenance remains reasonable
14:00:51 <T3sl4> i got a 2009 for $5000 so
14:01:21 <Ampera> I could do 5k out of pocket if I wanted to, and 2009 is actually a bit newer than I was thinking
14:01:38 <Ampera> the idea being, I pay out of pocket, the insurance is cheaper, and if the thing shits itself in a year, I'm not much worse off
14:01:41 <T3sl4> YMMV, the uh, NY probably has an extra tax over there or something right
14:01:49 <Ampera> extra tax for what
14:01:59 <T3sl4> compared to here
14:02:03 <Ampera> it's just sales tax
14:02:09 <T3sl4> yeah that too
14:02:15 <Ampera> as far as I know, sales tax not even different to buying anything else
14:02:16 <T3sl4> tho we got a "wheel tax" a few years ago so /shrug
14:02:23 <Ampera> no we don't have anything like that
14:02:29 <Ampera> no property taxes either
14:02:34 <T3sl4> ah
14:02:34 <Ampera> (for cars)
14:02:41 <T3sl4> oh that would be stupid
14:02:50 <Ampera> there are land/home property taxes, I think usually on a county level
14:03:00 <T3sl4> yeah
14:03:04 <Ampera> well CT has property taxes for cars
14:03:10 <Ampera> but CT is also hideously expensive
14:03:27 <Ampera> to my knowledge, CT is the most financially inequitable state in the union
14:03:35 <Ampera> they have the richest rich next to the poorest poor
14:03:49 <Ampera> and cost of living there is almost twice what it is here
14:03:50 <T3sl4> good ol' murka
14:04:05 <Ampera> upstate NY's pretty reasonable. We don't have a lot of wealth inequality.
14:04:20 <Ampera> now NYC on the other hand...
14:04:21 <T3sl4> pretty much midwest AFAIK
14:04:37 <Ampera> upstate is like the midwest just without the warm and friendly attitudes
14:04:44 <Ampera> the people here are pretty new england in that regard
14:04:56 <Ampera> maybe less obnoxious, but also slightly colder
14:04:57 <T3sl4> a bit more chicago than chicago
14:05:11 <Ampera> we're not chicago, black people are allowed to leave their homes without getting shot here
14:07:02 <T3sl4> far easier for NYPD to simply do nothing at all
14:07:03 <Ampera> Maybe I should get something like a buick from around 2010, my grandfather has a lacrosse from that time and it's a really nice car
14:07:13 <Ampera> seating position is awful, so maybe a regal would be better
14:07:18 <Ampera> NYPD?
14:07:26 <Ampera> I thought we were talking about upstate :P
14:07:52 <T3sl4> we were
14:08:00 <T3sl4> i was using a particular example :P
14:08:08 <Ampera> NYPD ain't upstate :P
14:08:46 <T3sl4> paternal grandparents had a buick century back when, which was... mediocre i think? fine while it worked but went south pretty fast as it aged i think?
14:08:56 <Ampera> I just recently sold my '93 regal
14:09:09 <T3sl4> always easy to spot a century, it's got the jeordi brake lights
14:09:18 <Ampera> it was my great grandfather's car, but considering it's pushing 30 years old, I think that was the right call
14:09:33 <T3sl4> yeah
14:09:54 <Ampera> It brought me on a lot of trips with my grandfather, but the memories are worth more than the car, and I can have the memories without the car.
14:10:28 <T3sl4> yup
14:11:13 <T3sl4> the celica lasted surprisingly long, but it's just too risky/burdensome to keep using
14:11:25 <T3sl4> and this being US, i can't survive very well without a car so
14:11:36 <Ampera> I can
14:11:41 <Ampera> by getting other people to drive me >:D
14:11:56 <Ampera> I did used to ride our bus system, and compared to some other places, CDTA isn't too bad
14:12:10 <Ampera> it can take you an hour round trip to go 3 miles, but
14:12:13 <Ampera> it at least goes most places
14:12:31 <T3sl4> i could consider that, but the sheer amount of time wasted, when i have more important things to do? bluh
14:12:38 <Ampera> I'm presently driving my dad's car, which is alright for now, as I only occasionally need to use it
14:12:55 <Ampera> Well it was fun when I was 13-16 and had nothing better to do with my life
14:13:07 <T3sl4> some of that i can take with, if i run my tools on a laptop say, but that's also a theft (and data leak) hazard, or when i'm doing something with hardware that's NA
14:13:43 <Ampera> I think one of the biggest problems with my recently purchased 3K laptop is the concern of it getting stolen
14:13:44 * electrohead tackles Ampera
14:13:48 * electrohead makes T3sl4 film
14:13:50 <Ampera> I have only ever had one thing stolen in my life though
14:14:05 * T3sl4 films a making-of instead
14:14:30 <Ampera> I primarily intend to take it to work, as IT has the habit of kneecapping our computers on a regular basis, because they're trying to make up for decades old bad security decisions with more bad security decisions
14:15:03 <Ampera> so I'll probably get a cable lock there, just so it's not easy for someone to nonchalantly walk up, look like they're supposed to be there, and take the laptop when I'm in a meeting
14:15:14 * Ampera hugs electrohead
14:15:21 <Ampera> how are you doing sparklehorse?
14:16:07 <electrohead> lovely.
14:16:19 <Ampera> nice
14:16:23 <Ampera> I need to go make more noodles
14:16:53 <T3sl4> rice
14:18:09 <electrohead> rice.
14:18:12 <T3sl4> hmm, i should pasta a bit as well. good addition for the chili
14:18:25 <electrohead> rice!

14:22:56 <T3sl4> i'd suggest not tossing up your dinner
14:23:41 * Ampera smacks T3sl4 with a salad
14:23:52 * T3sl4 wins friends with it anyway
14:26:10 <T3sl4> hm, i should make walnut cookies again. i gathered and shelled more, enough for a batch now
14:26:18 <Ampera> mmm
14:26:20 <Ampera> I'll be right over
