02:50:50 <T3sl4> hi
02:50:58 <arch> wadup
03:06:08 <arch> tinkering with uneven turns ratio sepic simulations on ltspice
03:06:20 <T3sl4> ew
03:06:24 <arch> what
03:06:33 <arch> it's neat
03:06:39 <T3sl4> its a contradiction
03:06:58 <arch> what's a contradiction
03:07:04 <T3sl4> your face
03:07:08 <arch> touche
03:07:25 <T3sl4> it's a short circuit with coupling caps, or it's ordinary flyback without
03:07:45 <T3sl4> or it's a hybrid if you add a little extension winding past the coupled 1:1 part, that's fine too
03:08:17 <arch> i just set coupling factor to less than 1 in the sim
03:10:40 <arch> bleh its not worth
03:10:48 <arch> control char sucks now
03:10:55 <arch> seeing subharmonic osc
03:15:08 <arch> that reminds me: buck-flyback (flybuck) topology's secondary side, even if shorted, doesn't lead to the conv shutting down from overcurrent protection, since there's leakage inductance from imperfect coupling
03:15:17 <arch> BUUUT
03:15:37 <arch> if there was perfect coupling
03:15:43 <arch> it would protecc
03:16:49 <T3sl4> well, yes and no
03:17:03 <T3sl4> even under shoot through, there is some impedance limiting current
03:17:27 <T3sl4> leakage is just short circuiting through a transformer, it's all a matter of amount
03:18:01 <T3sl4> in the flybuck, the low side switch bears the short circuit current
03:18:22 <T3sl4> so it depends how the controller is built, most buck regs only sense high side and assume the low side is fine
03:18:38 <T3sl4> some sense all the time and turn off the low side when it crosses zero (synchronous rectification)
03:18:46 <arch> so the impedance that limits the current would be 2*pi*f*leakage ?
03:19:24 <T3sl4> sure, or transiently, you're just putting some voltage across the leakage, getting a current ramp
03:19:29 <T3sl4> just like any other inductor
03:20:19 <arch> i need to build a rig with a crapton of sense resistors scattered throughout, so i can see it. good for learning
03:20:25 <arch> see the current wfs
03:20:35 <arch> or just use ltspice..but it's not the same
03:21:37 <arch> waiting for parts to arrive from digikey so i can finish my amp psu
03:23:41 <arch> hmm. so in the case of using a flybuck, is it a good idea to also put an inductor (small value, say a few uH) in series with the coupled inductor, just in case the secondary shorts? that way the buck reg doesn't blow up if the current sense loop is slow?
03:24:07 <T3sl4> if you want shitty regulation i guess
03:24:37 <arch> well, i don't think anyone really uses the secondary side in a flybuck for powering anything heavy, just uCs and low power stuff with a LDO
03:25:27 <T3sl4> it's not usually a hazard for shorting out, either
03:29:48 <DHess_US> https://vid.pr0gramm.com/2021/12/04/9bfb0ccab0559233.mp4
03:30:16 <arch> blahh. need to wait a few more weeks for bonus moniez :( and then i get a spectrum analyzer for the new year :D
03:30:42 <T3sl4> impressive how strong paint can be
03:36:17 <electrohead> yeah that's impressive for sure
03:36:20 <electrohead> and, sup guys
03:37:48 * arch poops on electrohead's lawn
03:38:03 * T3sl4 oozes electrohead
03:41:15 * electrohead films
03:44:51 * jaymax gets out the soap and scrubbing wand.
03:46:02 <arch> daym, these apple adapters had synchronous rectification, PFC, resonant LLC topology, and all sorts of goodie features
03:46:37 <arch> aftermarket psus got NOTHING on apple's psu design, i must admit
03:47:09 <arch> their laptops are overpriced garbage, but their PSUs...that $80 price tag, is definitely fair it seems
03:49:59 <arch> i'm not even gonna bother salvaging anything from there. everything is glued and solder pasted. fuck that, but just observing the design
03:50:35 * T3sl4 oozes arch (with solder paste)
03:50:39 <arch> i must admit, i did desolder the trafo and resonant inductor, but that's about it. everything else is not salvagable
03:55:54 <arch> this is my treasure hunt from yesterday. 4x 65W flyback inductors, 1x trafo (apple), and 1x inductor (apple), and 1x murdered core that shattered into a bunch of pieces: https://i.imgur.com/YGtg3O2.jpg
03:56:04 <T3sl4> trafapple

04:00:49 <arch> i think i might have a bit of a hoarding problem
04:01:00 <T3sl4> whording
04:01:10 <T3sl4> wait no, that would be if you get paid for it
04:01:35 <arch> you can be a scrapyard and do both

05:36:21 <Nothing\> lol man what a gyp
05:36:29 <Nothing\> i'm looking around for suppliers of diethyl ether
05:36:48 <Nothing\> this one place sells stuff for photography, like developing chemicals and stuff
05:36:59 <T3sl4> good, maybe that'll quiet this channel a bit
05:37:03 <Nothing\> they have a 30ml bottle for $90.
05:37:08 <Nothing\> hahaha
05:37:16 * T3sl4 noogies Nothing\
05:37:17 <T3sl4> sup
05:37:29 <Nothing\> hey man, thanks for the giggle. I needed it.
05:37:35 <Nothing\> been so depressed lately
05:37:39 <Nothing\> BUT
05:37:45 <Nothing\> good news, nay great news
05:37:54 <Nothing\> i officially started tapering off of methadone
05:38:10 <Nothing\> had my doctor decrease my dose for the first time today
05:38:41 <T3sl4> is that related, or is that a slower going kind of thing
05:39:00 <Nothing\> so that's actually got me feeling really good cuz i've been trying to get around to doing this for so long, but i always get talking to him about other stuff and forget, or things are too stressful, or stressful things come up and it's never a good time
05:39:33 <Nothing\> T3sl4, it is but more in an "i've had enough of this shit, i'm done" sorta way rather than precipitating the depression itself
05:40:13 <Nothing\> the depression's probably being caused, or at least exacerbated by my clonazepam cuz i know it does that to me real bad
05:40:27 <Nothing\> exacerbated more likely
05:40:43 <T3sl4> the irony of depression is, although on average it's, well, depressing, occasionally it's motivating in a "fuck it" sort of way
05:40:49 <Nothing\> i've been feeling shit for weeks now, and being that i inevitably get depressed in the winter it's only been worsening
05:41:01 <Nothing\> T3sl4, it is
05:41:07 <Nothing\> sort of
05:41:30 <Nothing\> i mean i find myself saying "fuck it" to a lot of things, some of them being things that would be bad for me
05:41:41 <Nothing\> but i'm just done trying to control anything
05:42:25 <Nothing\> all my life i've tried desparately to control that which i cannot and that's been one of the biggest contributing factors to why i'm so fucked up, mentally. At least factors which are internal.
05:42:25 Join: arch ([email protected]) to #eevblog
05:42:39 <Nothing\> so i figure fuck it, why bother if this is what it's got me
05:42:41 <Nothing\> i give up

05:43:04 <EEVBot> [Title] - An Error Has Occurred!
05:43:35 <Nothing\> DHess_US, my favourite one's always been you know you're old when you remember/complain about when things used to cost less
05:43:46 <Nothing\> cuz i'm almost always complaining about that
05:44:12 <Nothing\> hell just with inflation alone our dollar has half the purchasing power it did when i was born
05:44:28 <Nothing\> (1985)
05:44:46 <DHess_US> Eh, my favorite "you know you are old when" is when they play the music you remember in the supermarket and car commercials.
05:45:06 <Nothing\> hrm DHess_US i don't think we had those commercials here. I only know he's named mikey from the reference to it in The Matrix
05:45:11 <arch> ooh you touch my tralala?
05:45:17 <Nothing\> so that's not really a valid "you know you're old when"
05:45:59 <Nothing\> arch, and would you believe half his kids were stillborn?

05:46:38 <Nothing\> DHess_US, did they have those in germany?
05:46:43 <Nothing\> i wouldn't think they did
05:47:39 <DHess_US> no clue
05:47:47 <Nothing\> actually lemme ask you something i was just curious about, DHess_US. In regards to being a non-native speaker of English and a consumer of media.
05:47:54 <Nothing\> wait, you're not german?
05:48:04 <Nothing\> or you just didn't watch tv?
05:48:08 <Nothing\> i'm confusing myself now
05:48:32 <DHess_US> Born in California. Father's side of the family is 100% German, and some of my mother's side.
05:48:38 <Nothing\> okay
05:48:44 <Nothing\> that's where the confusion comes from
05:48:53 <Nothing\> no no it's Kuschelpony who lives in germany
05:48:57 <Nothing\> doy
05:49:00 * Nothing\ facepalms
05:49:14 <DHess_US> If I spend a week out in the desert, then I look like a soldier in the Afrikacorps.
05:49:28 <Nothing\> i just remember you speaking fond memories of your good old great uncle rudy
05:49:29 <Nothing\> :P
05:49:38 <DHess_US> Was just a family joke.
05:49:43 <DHess_US> No relation that we know of.
05:49:45 <Kuschelpony> i am here, how can i help you?
05:50:04 <DHess_US> It's a trap!
05:50:10 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, oh nothing important really. I was just trying to figure out if DHess_US lived in germany and where i got the idea from
05:51:50 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, but while you're here. I was wondering, as a non-native english speaker who obviously has a good grasp of English to be considered fluent. When you're watching a movie or TV show, do you prefer to listen to it dubbed in German. With odd sounding voice actors who may not be as talented or may not deliver the lines in the same way as the original actors, among the other problems that come with having en
05:51:50 <Nothing\> foreign language.
05:52:26 <Nothing\> or would you prefer to just watch it in English and get what I would imagine to be the full experience. As opposed to missing out on some of it inevitably if you watch it dubbed.
05:52:32 <Kuschelpony> oof, i quit watching tv or other shows good 20 years ago
05:52:42 <Nothing\> heh i don't blame you
05:52:45 <arch> tv is awful
05:52:51 <Kuschelpony> so not really an opinion
05:52:51 <Nothing\> i can't stand 99% of stuff made in this millenium
05:53:08 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, fair enough. Though not the answer i was hoping for, admittedly. lol
05:53:15 <Kuschelpony> sorry
05:53:22 <Nothing\> hehe no worries mate-
05:53:45 <Nothing\> there are plenty of other non-native english speakers here i can ask about that
05:54:58 <Nothing\> heh so you guys'll never guess who i've been exchanging correspondence with over the last week
05:55:09 <Nothing\> one, mr Ben Eater
05:55:43 <Nothing\> although it's not like we're friends. I just ordered something from him and for some reason never got email verification or anything so we've been trying to figure out what happened.
05:56:36 <Nothing\> i told him an account of his standing in the CS and Youtube community, I trust his word and couldn't see him doing anything unscrupulous. My only concern really is not being able to track it and intercept it on delivery. Lest porch pirates nab it.
05:57:18 <Nothing\> it's one of those those TL866 II Pro EEPROM reader/programmers
05:57:57 <Nothing\> kinda pissed though. It was listed for $60. But after shipping (ups :/), exchange rate, and taxes it wound up being closer to $120
05:58:24 <DHess_US> https://i.imgflip.com/5wmwoo.jpg
05:58:27 <Nothing\> where i could just watch a 1 hour video on his site and learn to make my own from an arduino lol
05:58:46 <Nothing\> lol DHess_US
05:59:00 <Nothing\> is this to imply that Kuschelpony is a psychopath?
05:59:17 <Nothing\> or that he's just 10 years behind the tv trends
05:59:24 <Nothing\> while pretending to be uninterested
05:59:55 <arch> lol
06:00:46 <arch> does anyone here have soldering hot tweezers?
06:00:55 <Nothing\> ah bloody hell man. I had this absolutely delectable snack the other day. Was a big marshmallow on a stick, covered in white chocolate and dipped in these... they were almost like candy cane pieces. They tasted identical but they weren't tooth shatteringly hard like most candy cane topings are.
06:01:10 <Nothing\> arch, i didn't know such a thing existed
06:02:33 <Nothing\> hrm
06:02:41 <Nothing\> i've got a dillema on my hands here
06:03:45 <Nothing\> so my exercise bike's electronics broke. It's an old bike anyways. But I was gonna make my own tachometer for it by pasting a neodiddlium magnet to the flywheel and a hall sensor onto the frame such that it can detect each pass of the magnet
06:04:19 <Nothing\> then connect the hall sensor to an arduino or maybe a smaller AVR if i can figure out how to program my ATtiny chips, but anyways...
06:04:47 <Nothing\> oh i guess it's not a problem. For some reason i was thinking i'd need to mount the hall sensor to the fly wheel and i was confusing myself
06:04:50 <Nothing\> so nm
06:05:21 <Nothing\> my brain is just not working on account of emotional tumult coupled with fatigue and lack of food, among other things
06:05:54 <Nothing\> though i bet if i checked my blood sugar, it'll be twice what's normal
06:05:58 <Nothing\> in fact, let's see
06:07:34 <Nothing\> more than twice
06:07:36 <Nothing\> almost thrice
06:07:41 <Nothing\> fun times
06:08:18 <Nothing\> also i just broke my record for my highest blood sugar reading since the first time i had diabetes
06:09:34 <Nothing\> don't get it though, i haven't eaten anything today. Certainly nothing with sugar. Same for drinks.
06:09:53 <Nothing\> it always seems highest when I don't eat, somehow.
06:12:09 <Nothing\> You know, I was reading about Bill Hicks' last weeks alive. It was saying how he spent them re-reading lord of the rings. I wish I had something like that that could just whisk me away from reality and help make me feel better in a tough situation like that.
06:12:21 <Nothing\> i was thinking if it were me i'd just go out in a haze of opioids.
06:12:34 <Nothing\> probably by my own hand
06:13:39 <Nothing\> and i mean fuck, the guy only got 8 months from diagnosis to death. And only maybe 6 or 7 of those were useful, as in not in too much agony to function.
06:13:56 <Nothing\> and that was with chemo, and in the prime of his life.
06:14:09 <Nothing\> i think he was only 32 when he died. So sad.
06:14:12 <arch> soon...soon... look at this nice layout. it's a pwm controller module, a hackjob i did to replace the shitty voltage mode controller i used for my cuk build. obv, it's not done yet, but you get the general idea. lm3481 (vssop10), sot23-5 opamp, and 0402 (mainly) passives: https://i.imgur.com/BrFFOww.png
06:14:40 <Nothing\> heh you're still working on that cuk coverter, arch?
06:15:14 <Nothing\> arch, neat
06:15:26 <Nothing\> best of luck to ya on that project
06:15:47 <Nothing\> wish i could help more. I feel like a bloody cheerleader for an EE.
06:20:08 <arch> it seems i like to torture myself, when it would have been faster to rebuild the whole psu :D
06:27:58 <Nothing\> arch, yeah but at least it's a good learning experience if nothing else
06:33:17 Quit: Tezzers ([email protected]) Quit: Leaving
06:44:18 <Nothing\> huh
06:44:22 <Nothing\> propofol's a phenol
06:45:35 <Nothing\> i never thought of that. But it never ceases to amaze me how you just change or add one moiety to a chemical and its properties become completely different.
06:47:50 <Nothing\> lol
06:47:59 <Nothing\> my mum just started dusting my breadboard circuits for me
06:48:09 <Nothing\> i had to stop her quickly
06:48:37 <Nothing\> she knows static's bad for them, but didn't put two and two together for that cuz she was trying to dust the table in general
06:48:49 <Nothing\> i told her i'll just blow em off with some duster
06:49:21 <Nothing\> although even that's insufficient. I've never been quite sure how to dust electronics other than getting in there with a q-tip or something
06:58:53 <Nothing\> so I was thinking. I wanna make a microphone amplifier circuit, right
06:59:22 <Nothing\> so i was thinking a totem pole output would be ideal. I'm just not sure of what voltage to use
07:01:05 <Nothing\> it's a given i'll need a negative rail. Which right there takes me out of my comfort zone. Though I have a power supply with a ground pin so I dunno if I can use that to create a negative rail somehow or if I should just use a voltage divider and tap it for my ground instead
07:01:35 <Nothing\> or use 2 sets of batteries in series and tap the connection between them for ground
07:02:29 <Nothing\> though i hear that can cause problems on account of one set of batteries inevitably being drained faster than the other, so you end up with uneven + and - voltages
07:03:50 <Kuschelpony> my head is too full today to really translate all, but if you ask again tomorrow i might make several suggestions
07:04:07 <Kuschelpony> first is that in most caes a single supply is toitallyok
07:04:36 <Nothing\> no worries, frankly my head's too full as well
07:04:50 <Nothing\> i'm just asking for the sake of keeping myself busy so i don't think about other things
07:05:23 <Nothing\> but yeah i guess a single supply for audio would be fine huh
07:05:56 <Nothing\> dunno where i got the idea i needed a negative rail. Maybe just cuz that's usually what you do with a class b
07:06:38 <Nothing\> hrm, looks like snow's coming
07:07:48 <Nothing\> nope, that's too bad
07:08:54 <Nothing\> we had a good bit of snow the other day that stuck. Maybe 5cm. It looked so beautiful in the trees and covering the ground. Then as quickly as it arrived, we got above-zero temperatures and rain, so it was gone within a day
07:09:29 <Nothing\> i love it when the snow sticks in the trees like that. It looks so gorgeous.

09:31:36 <Nothing\> ahoy
09:31:54 <jaymax> Quebec ice storm (and east coast) 1995 for example.
09:32:15 <jaymax> Sup Chips?
09:32:18 <Nothing\> oh shit jaymax
09:32:22 <Nothing\> i remember that ice storm
09:32:39 <Nothing\> my brother was in the reserves the year before and they tried to get him to go to montreal to help
09:32:45 <Nothing\> even though he was no longer enlisted
09:33:47 <jaymax> So do I - luckily NS didn't have downed long-distance transmission lines - but my father had an aneurysm that week.
09:33:53 <Nothing\> actualy i dunno about you guys, but when i was living in kitchener/waterloo maybe.... oh 7-10 years ago there was a particularly severe ice storm i recall going through there
09:35:11 <jaymax> There was one that came up Boston New Years day, 2013 - really fucked up Maine IIRC
09:36:17 <jaymax> Ooops, 2014
09:36:49 <Nothing\> i remember trying to walk to the grocery store a block away, taking a path there that went under some trees next to my house. The path was no more than maybe 100-150 meters. But walking along it, under those trees. And hearing the trees cracking and snapping. Branches falling all around me from the weight of the ice. It's the only time i've ever felt unsafe outside before of weather. I had to turn back and just de
09:37:22 <Nothing\> That's right. I was going to get supplies because my power was out. I wanted to get some blankets and food I could eat without power and things like that.
09:37:35 <Nothing\> jaymax, 2014 sounds about right, i think
09:38:01 <jaymax> For Maine, IIRC there was a mini-hit two weeks prior.
09:38:19 <Nothing\> i'm not sure, my whole time in kitchener was kind of a blur and I'm not sure what happened when. Plus we got a few really bad ice storms like that.
09:39:21 <Nothing\> actually I remember that night after I tried to go to the grocery store. I was outside having a smoke. And a few times I saw what I can only describe as small, electric blue explosions off in the distance
09:39:30 <Nothing\> ie, transformers blowing
09:39:41 <Nothing\> or lines coming down
09:40:13 <Nothing\> it was like watching the world end
09:40:23 <jaymax> I generally feel unsafe outside when it comes to thunderstorms. But for that one, is knowing the time one started and my father (lol) was getting the tractor back inside. Lightning struck the exhaust stack - two feet in front of his face.
09:40:35 <Nothing\> i couldn't imagine how they felt in 99 in quebec
09:40:55 <Nothing\> lol you wanna see feeling unsafe during a thunderstorm
09:41:14 <Nothing\> hold on
09:41:23 <jaymax> That's the thing thoiugh, I DON'T. lol

09:41:57 <EEVBot> [Title] - Youtube: July 26th 2012 Thunderstorm in Kitchener, Ontario
09:42:00 <Nothing\> here lol
09:42:22 <Nothing\> this was probably the most scared i've ever been from a storm. At least as an adult.
09:42:30 <Nothing\> if it's the video i think it is
09:43:04 <Nothing\> lol yup
09:43:09 <Nothing\> didn't take long to confirm that
09:43:38 <Nothing\> i think that's the storm where one of the pictures i took made it onto CTV news
09:43:42 <Nothing\> that was pretty cool
09:44:30 <Nothing\> i snapped it just as there was a bolt of lightning, so everything was all light up like daytime an actually a little bit washed out looking
09:44:39 <Nothing\> *lit up
09:45:07 <jaymax> Queued. BTW, I've had nightmares of construction cranes falling probably within the first couple years of moving into the city back in 2001. In 2019, that shit happened downtown during hurricane Dorian - and since then I got fascinated by the Russian videos of when it happens to them.
09:47:01 <Nothing\> yeah actually i had a lot of dreams like that maybe 10 years ago
09:47:08 <Nothing\> about cranes collapsing
09:47:16 <Nothing\> and condos
09:47:24 <Nothing\> or apartment buildings, i'm not sure
09:47:38 <Nothing\> but they weren'nt anything like the one in florida at least
09:48:09 <jaymax> Yeah, I suppose the big leaning feeling for Fenwick tower applies with at least several of my dreams.
09:48:36 <Nothing\> never heard of that one
09:48:58 <jaymax> I used to live in that shithole. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenwick_Tower_(Halifax,_Nova_Scotia)
09:48:59 <EEVBot> [Title] - Fenwick Tower (Halifax, Nova Scotia) - Wikipedia
09:49:30 <Nothing\> i'm glad i got out of the big apartemnt buildings while i could
09:49:44 <jaymax> BTW, the renovation in that thumbnail - started in 2016 and continues to be ongoing.
09:49:49 <Nothing\> as nice as the 13th storey view was, it wasn't worth the shit maintenance.
09:51:17 <Nothing\> which was either non-existant or you had to really had to get on their asses about it for anything to get done
09:51:32 <Nothing\> jeez man
09:51:39 <jaymax> I've taken photos off the 32nd floor there - but I lived mostly on the 15th.
09:51:58 <Nothing\> that's a shame, it's such a nice looking building
09:53:33 <jaymax> It was always incomplete. Owner went bankrupt when the construction was almost complete; Dalhousie University was in a housing crisis at that time so they bought it and slapped together what was needed for residences.
09:55:19 <jaymax> Ha, Chebucto still has their final webcam photo still linked in that wiki page. http://webcam.chebucto.net/
09:55:20 <EEVBot> [Title] -
09:55:59 <jaymax> IIRC, effectively 33rd floor because the wifi bridges were on the rooftop.
09:58:19 <jaymax> Oh yeah, panoramic photo placed it on the rooftop. http://webcam.chebucto.net/img/pan-3.jpg

11:13:09 <Ampera> Lenovo gave me 150 bucks off from the thinkpad I ordered
11:13:20 <Ampera> because the price went down for a flash sale
11:15:40 <DogWomble> that;s bit a bad effort L(
11:16:40 <Halcyon> Morning all
11:20:51 <DogWomble> morning :)
11:29:07 * Ampera hugs Halcyon
11:29:09 <Ampera> how are you doing Halcyon
11:29:13 <Ampera> and DogWomble
11:29:38 <DogWomble> yeah doing ok, how be the ampera?
11:30:19 <Halcyon> :)
11:30:29 <Halcyon> I'm good. My fridge is all tidy and organised again
11:30:32 <Halcyon> How are you?
11:31:06 <Ampera> shit
11:31:08 <Halcyon> I just sent you a pic Ampera
11:31:11 <Ampera> having an interesting night
11:31:14 <Halcyon> Oh?
11:31:15 <Halcyon> How come?
11:31:31 <Ampera> started off with wanting to try this ramen place that my aunt and uncle went to, saying it's really good
11:31:39 <Halcyon> Mmmmm noodles
11:31:44 <Ampera> was genuinely the worst food I've ever had from a restaurant.
11:31:55 <Halcyon> Oh shit :(
11:31:59 <Ampera> you need more food in your fridge.
11:32:08 <Halcyon> You should see how much I threw out...
11:32:29 <Ampera> 20 bucks got me a bit under 1 US Quart overall, the noodles tasted under/overcooked, like they were raw, but had been sitting in soup for way too long.
11:32:33 <Halcyon> That second picture is all the expired stuff I had to toss (and there was more off-camera)
11:33:07 <Ampera> had fuck all noodles too, more scallions than noodles even, and somehow then had particularly hard and crunchy mushrooms.
11:33:22 <Ampera> also bought takoyaki for 10 bucks, I got 4 of them for that price, and they were awful too
11:33:36 <Halcyon> That's so disappointing, particularly because noodles are like the main part of the dish and probably the cheapest thing you can buy
11:33:45 <Ampera> it was a pain in the ass to get there, because there was no parking, so I had to walk about a quarter of a mile
11:33:59 <Halcyon> If they continue to serve shit like that, they won't last long
11:34:20 <Ampera> was at an intersection and some cunt had the brightest high beams you'd have ever seen, to where I was almost flashbanged just trying to watch the traffic light
11:34:35 <Halcyon> Assholes
11:34:36 <Ampera> so then I ordered pizza, that came pretty quick, about 30 minutes
11:34:50 <Ampera> but right as I'm going to the car to put the pizza in, two big guys come up going "hey brother"
11:35:03 <Ampera> pitch black at night, at a restaurant famous for being cash only
11:35:11 <Halcyon> Hah
11:35:13 <Halcyon> Sounds dodgy
11:35:24 <Ampera> plus, the key fob for the car's low on battery, so I'm pressing this damn thing trying to get the car unlocked
11:35:24 <Halcyon> I wonder what their food safety is like
11:35:33 <Ampera> the restaurant? They're one of the most popular in town.
11:35:42 <Halcyon> Seriously?
11:35:46 <Ampera> They've been in business since the 70's, and they draw packed houses almost every night.
11:35:50 <Halcyon> Do people just like eating bad food?
11:35:55 <Ampera> Excellent food
11:36:03 <Ampera> some of the cheapest and best pizza you could have
11:36:09 <Halcyon> Ohh the pizza
11:36:11 <Ampera> their menu's pretty big too.
11:36:12 <Halcyon> I thought you meant the other place
11:36:16 <Ampera> oh
11:36:17 <Ampera> no
11:36:25 <Ampera> the other place is rather new, rather small, and in a weird location
11:36:29 <Halcyon> What did those guys want?
11:36:31 <Halcyon> Were they hot?
11:36:49 <Ampera> it was dark, but they were the typical shifty, dishevelled bums, probably looking for money
11:37:01 <Ampera> but 2 v 1 in a dark parking lot is not something I wanna deal with
11:37:17 <Ampera> but what was hilarious about that, is as I get into the car, I hear one of them say "why do people gotta be like that"
11:38:03 <Halcyon> Hahaha
11:38:08 <Ampera> They probably wouldn't have been nasty or violent, even the bums aren't like that around here.
11:38:20 <Ampera> but seriously, walking up to some random guy in a parking lot in the middle of the night
11:38:27 <Halcyon> Yeh that's odd
11:38:33 <Ampera> It's not odd, it happens all the time.
11:38:39 <Ampera> people just want quick beer money
11:38:49 <Ampera> usually people get scared and give them cash so they leave them alone.
11:39:38 <Halcyon> I'm going for a 5 kilometre hike soon
11:41:40 <Ampera> That's not very far
11:41:48 <Ampera> it at least both ways?
11:42:17 <Halcyon> It's not very far but it will be up and down
11:42:23 <Halcyon> Bush tracks
11:42:41 <Halcyon> Makes it harder
11:54:32 <Halcyon> Anyhoo I'm off, back later
