02:07 <TheDude> cool
02:27 <TheDude> although, I have to admit, watching those videos without context does seem a little bit fucked up
03:52 <doggyrat> that is why i got a shit storm in the telegram channel of a maker space i am still member of ( do not know what is going to happen now)
05:06 <doggyrat> the big building far away in the dropbox link is opposite to the makerspace that is why it has been canceled of the youtube channel
05:16 <TheDude> I see that you did add a suitable description to the yt vids :D
05:18 <doggyrat> about 650m away
06:49 <doggyrat> changing then lens of the usb camera behind the scope does enlarge the center of the picture
07:45 <doggyrat> i am thinking of adding a servo to change the setting of the multifocus lens
08:22 <doggyrat> just by pushing a bottom, but until next year there will be no more new videos
15:41 <doggyrat> it is time for my nap sorry

27:27 <Nothing\> ahoy ahoy
27:41 <Kuschelpony> Hello Hello
27:45 <Nothing\> just found out this TL866 actually checks jellybean logic chips and SRAM, too
28:18 <Nothing\> gutentag mein freund
28:26 <Nothing\> how ya doin?
28:57 <Nothing\> i actually just wrote an impeccable german email to one of my family members in germany
29:24 <Kuschelpony> oh well, just back from a<small walkout
29:30 <Nothing\> he works for porche, so he's always going on all of these nice trips, skiing in the alps, soaking up the sun in ibiza, stuff like that
29:37 <Nothing\> the lucky bastard
29:55 <Nothing\> i wrote him and told him his hard work's obviously paid off and if anyone deserves such trips it's him
30:04 <Nothing\> just tryin to spread the good vibes :)
30:20 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, nice. i just got back from the clinic
30:28 <Kuschelpony> also i left my private electronic notebook at work, where i had yesterday made a number of impedance measurements on two mains transformers as we had recently discussed for audio
30:31 <Nothing\> my doctor was telling me i need to get out more to help with my depression
30:36 <Kuschelpony> welcome back
30:43 <Nothing\> danke
33:15 <Kuschelpony> i try more walkouts for similar reasons, if it does not currently rain again
34:26 <Nothing\> yeah, i've always read/been told that going for a walk is one of the best things you can do for your mood
34:31 Join: steve30 ([email protected]) to #eevblog
34:31 Mode: (by ChanOP) +o steve30
34:34 <Nothing\> and i wholeheartedly agree, it's a very meditative experience
37:44 <steve30> hi
38:25 <Nothing\> heya steve-o
38:28 <Nothing\> how ya doing?
38:37 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, meditative and cathartic
38:49 <Nothing\> which means, good for thinking and clearing out your head of emotions
38:55 <steve30> Took my 35mm camera round the city centre. I haven't taken it out anywhere for a couple of years
39:03 <Nothing\> nice!
39:30 <Nothing\> my mum likes photography, i keep encouraging her to learn more about it but she's just too old, and germanly stubborn
39:35 <Nothing\> germanically stubborn?
41:34 <Nothing\> so i wonder how i can test logic chips with this tl266
41:50 <Nothing\> i don't wanna accidentally put programming voltages into an input pin
42:15 <Nothing\> a 4000 might handle it, but definitely not a 7400
43:42 <Kuschelpony> im pretty sure the programmer will not switch on the programming voltage when testing logic chips
45:25 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, me too. It's just a matter of figuring out how to test the chip via the gui for the software
45:35 <Nothing\> since i'm still new to this thing, and the software
45:47 <Kuschelpony> i dont know this software so i cant answer
45:58 <Nothing\> but i'm testing a cd4046 PLL chip, which I have like 50 of them, so who's gonna need 50 PLLs
46:11 <Nothing\> i accidentally doubled-ordered it a few times
47:16 <Nothing\> i always wondered if i could just use the VCO in these chips without anything else, but i'm just wondering how i'd go about terminating the other parts of the chip so i don't get any noise or anything from having all of these floating components on the same chip
47:51 <Nothing\> actually i think i have a dedicated VCO chip, but damned if i can remember what it is
48:12 <Nothing\> i really need to update the catalog of chips i have and what they do
48:22 <Kuschelpony> you just tie all unused inputs to vcc or vcc depending on function, i check later the datasheet for suggestions
49:01 <Nothing\> yeah the datasheet didn't even mention using the VCO on its own or how to terminate unused components
49:38 <Nothing\> it's like on op amp chips how you're supposed to terminate unused op amps in a specific way, even though the datasheet for any op amp chip never specifically tells you how
49:40 <Kuschelpony> the chip is so simple that they assume its obvious to a proffesional
49:48 <Nothing\> i had to download a seperate app note to find that out
50:12 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, i dunno. I couldn't see them leaving anything to assumption when writing a datasheet
50:21 <Kuschelpony> for opamps its sometimes in the datasheet, if not then its safe to connect it as voltage follower tied to gnd input
50:23 <Nothing\> just doesn't seem professionally. Ya know?
50:29 <Nothing\> i mean op amps, i can get
50:42 <Nothing\> everybody uses op amps, so you'd think even the greenest EE would know how to terminate them
51:10 <Nothing\> although you wouldn't believe how many other ways i've found of terminating unused op amps before i finally came across this app note that tells you how to do it the right way
52:53 <Nothing\> like,this is how i always learned to do it initially
52:54 <Nothing\> https://e2e.ti.com/resized-image/__size/650x0/__key/communityserver-blogs-components-weblogfiles/00-00-00-08-64/2553.Slide_2D00_0001.JPG
53:16 <Nothing\> i'd usually use the first one without the vref just cuz it's easier
54:00 <Nothing\> but then i came across this app note on ti that basically said i was dead wrong, the diagrams are in the lower right of the first page:
54:01 <Nothing\> https://www.ti.com/lit/an/sboa204a/sboa204a.pdf?ts=1639157315192&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252F
54:27 <Nothing\> which i used to call out a guy using an analog computer for not terminating the op amps right
55:15 <Nothing\> luckily the designers wer esmart enough to account for this so they built it in such a way that any unused op amp is automatically terminated properly
15:14 <Nothing\> huh
15:22 <Nothing\> apparently most lambos are 4 wheel drive
15:27 <Nothing\> that's interesting
15:41 <Nothing\> i should make a lambo rally car in gran turismo
16:06 <Nothing\> even the diablo's 4wh
16:09 <Nothing\> wd
16:19 <Nothing\> i woulda figured FR
22:48 <Nothing\> oh cool i think i figured out how to test logic chips on this tl466
23:44 <Nothing\> gonna try this, then see how i can test SRAM chips, cuz i've got some HM6116s, 16Kb SRAM that was used in the original NES, but it's not listed in the list of chips it supports
23:56 <Nothing\> but i think that list is just chips it can program, not chips it can test
24:17 <Nothing\> and i've gotta say, this thing has an impressive list of chips it's compatible with
29:33 <Nothing\> well i'll be
29:52 <Nothing\> you can even add your own chips to the TL866's testing software
30:09 <Nothing\> so if it doesn't have your chip on file, you can define the truth table it should have and add it yourself
30:56 <Nothing\> dammit, someone come in here. I need to gush about the TL866
31:26 <Kuschelpony> im sorry that i have no really good answer to comment
33:13 <Nothing\> lol it's okay, i'm just joking around
34:13 <Nothing\> i have a mental disorder that affects my inhibition when it comes to talking. That is it makes me feel pressured to talk more than usual. So I'll sometimes go on about rubbish. I apologize for the walls of text, and expect no replies. So you're good, bro.
34:51 <Nothing\> if anything it's me who should be apologizing for practically spamming the channel half the time
37:33 <Kuschelpony> at least i have no problem with this
42:41 <Nothing\> I'm glad. It's caused rifts in friendships and has even had me banned from several servers. Including the other EEVBLOG server. Jspiros REALLY took an issue with it, even after i apologized. Which I don't personally feel I should apologize for being myself, but I can understand how it would get on some peoples' nerves so I apologize at first, regardless. I try to be as aimiable and accomadating as possible, and ex
42:42 <Nothing\> Basically just doing whatever's in my power to at least mediate the unpleasantness it causes.
43:52 <Nothing\> But he was having none of it, so he banned me. And I decided it was for the best. If it was going to be a contentious issue and affect the ability of others to enjoy the chat, then I suppose it's for the best I not participate if my presence makes it hard for them to do that.
45:56 <steve30> My Mum has bought Coloidal Silver.
46:02 <steve30> :S
48:08 <arch> does anyone have wireless mice recommendations? logitech sucks ass; their receiver dongles don't play nicely with USB3 ports
48:19 <arch> my pc doesn't have any USB2 ports
48:40 <arch> the receiver is very susceptible to USB3 data/clock(?) noise which makes the conn intermittent
50:18 <Nothing\> steve30, so she wants to turn into a smurf?
50:45 <Nothing\> steve30, in fairness, that stuff would probably make a fine topical antimicrobial. for cleaning out wounds or deodorizing socks
51:07 <Nothing\> i've heard of socks with silver fibers woven into them to prevent stank foot
51:22 <Nothing\> which actually makes perfect sense, for a change
51:32 <Nothing\> since silver's a great antiseptic
51:40 <Nothing\> not sure about other Pt group metals
51:58 <Nothing\> i know platinum's used in chemotherapy though, interestingly enough
52:06 <Nothing\> cis-platin is a common chemotherapy agent
52:16 <Nothing\> and probably costs an arm and a leg
52:51 <Nothing\> oh that reminds me, when i was getting my foot x-rayed the other day. The technician had no friggin clue about x-rays
53:35 <Nothing\> i wanted to put my phone behind the protective shielding that she sat behind but for some reason she wouldn't. So I had to put it on a chair. And I was arguing with her that x-rays will induce an electrical current in anything conductive.
53:45 <Nothing\> and she's like "no it won't, it's just like light"
54:01 <Nothing\> i'm like "that's like saying a bullet out of a gun is the same thing as a chunk of lead
54:03 <Nothing\> "
54:43 <Nothing\> and explained how IONIZING radiation means it rips electrons off, which means it produces a net positive charge, which means it produces a voltage gradient, which leads to flow of charge, which leads to device damage
55:14 <Nothing\> and that there's a reason why radiation hardened devices are used, and why the robots cleaning up cheronobyl went crazy and jumped off the roof of the reactor building
55:18 <Nothing\> which they actually did
55:19 <Nothing\> lol
55:33 <Nothing\> but anyway she was having none of it because as far as she was concerned she was smarter than me
55:38 <Nothing\> apparently not
55:53 <Nothing\> she couldn't even tell me how directional the beam was or what the output was
56:24 <Nothing\> but i would imagine modern x-ray machines are extremely unidirectional and use the lowest output possible
57:10 <Nothing\> i just couldn't believe an x-ray tech couldn't understand how x-rays could induce electric current in something conductive through ionization
57:42 <steve30> When I had my hip xrayed a few years ago the radiographer was intrigued as he said they don't often get people my age in for hip xrays
57:56 <Nothing\> that is indeed unusual
57:59 <Nothing\> may i ask what it was for?
58:11 <steve30> I'll see if the image is online
58:19 <Nothing\> or if you have osteoarthritis or something like that
58:28 <Nothing\> vitamin d/calcium deficiency
58:31 <Nothing\> something of that nature
58:56 <Nothing\> i know the hips are usually affected by those sorts of things. That's why the elderly always have issues breaking their hips.
59:08 <Nothing\> my own grandmother had her hip replaced at least twice
59:41 <Nothing\> poor girl went through so much more in her life than i realized at the time
59:48 <Nothing\> but hindsight's 20/20 as they say
00:14 <Nothing\> she was also in the generation where the wife wasn't supposed to complain about anything
00:43 <steve30> http://stevecoates.net/photos/left_hip.png
00:47 <Nothing\> nice
00:52 <Nothing\> i like me a good radiograph
01:07 <Nothing\> i shoulda asked for a copy of mine but i figured i could just request the records later
01:10 <steve30> Lumpy bone, basically
01:13 <Nothing\> that they were busy enough at the time
01:33 <Nothing\> steve30, i see the tip of your wang
01:34 <Nothing\> lol
01:48 <Nothing\> you tried to crop it out, but it's there
01:49 <Nothing\> :P
02:05 <steve30> http://stevecoates.net/photos/right_hip.png
02:07 <Nothing\> but damn, that must not feel very nice
02:10 <steve30> http://stevecoates.net/photos/pelvis_xray.png
02:21 <steve30> I think its called 'FAI'
02:24 <Nothing\> wow, i never woulda caught either of those
02:31 <steve30> It hasn't actually caused any trouble since last year
02:41 <Nothing\> i've got a thing called femoral pain syndrome, or disorder
03:16 <Nothing\> which is basically where my thigh muscles aren't balanced and pull my kneecap off to one side. So when my knee bends, the cap doesn't track evenly across the groove it's meant to track across
03:29 <Nothing\> which leads to irritation and pain of the cartilage
03:49 <Nothing\> had it since i was 8 but incidentally since becoming addicted to opiates it hasn't been a problem
03:49 <steve30> ouch
04:05 <Nothing\> it might flare up every few months, but before that it was at least a once a week thing
04:21 <Nothing\> oh yeah man. Especially before i discovered nsaids help it amazingly
05:04 <Nothing\> i remember as a kid being in tears while my mom desperately tried to massage my knee, which did help a bit. But really there was no relief from it.
05:30 <Nothing\> but yeah for some reason since becoming addicted to painkillers it just hasn't bothered me more than maybe half a dozen times in as many years
05:42 <steve30> I had to jump through hoops to get that image. I delayed making a legal request because I asked them informally twice, which yielded no response, so I put a formal request in, then they tried to employ delaying tactics by requesting more personal information to 'help' them fulfil the request.
06:01 <Nothing\> lovely
06:19 <Nothing\> yeah i've got a litany of horror stories of literal abuse and negligence at the hands of medical professionals
06:28 <Nothing\> and i don't mean the administrators either
06:45 <Nothing\> like going to the ER suicidal, depressed and having panic attacks
06:59 <steve30> i complained to the hospital manager and said, look, I paid over £150 for this x-ray, and £200 for the consultation. There is no reason you cannot give me this image informally, and there is absolutely no excuse for breaking the law by taking too long to reply to a legal request.
07:02 <Nothing\> only to have the COUNCELLOR demand i do a drug test before she saw me
07:08 <Nothing\> which should have nothing to do with anything
07:29 <Nothing\> but when i told her straight up what it would reveal she told me she wouldn't help me until i got sober and sent me home
07:36 <Nothing\> so i left feeling worse than when i arrived
07:55 <Nothing\> i was planning on making a suicide attempt at least when i got home so i'd have recourse to take legal action against them
08:05 <Nothing\> but after the hour walk home i was just done with it
08:36 <Nothing\> but that's the sorta stuff i had to contend with trying to get help for mental health while also being an addict
08:38 <steve30> In all these years, I've never actually mentioned my suicidal thoughts to a doctor, and I've certainly never been to the emergency dept for it.
08:49 <steve30> So I don't know what they're like, but I've heard plenty of bad stories on the internet.
09:03 <Nothing\> most people wouldn't even want to touch me. Because the drugs make it so much harder to determine what's the drugs and what's legit mental health.
09:28 <steve30> I did actually read an article from a charity which advised NOT to go to A&E for suicidal ideation when drunk.
09:29 <Nothing\> but that shouldn't matter. What matters is i'm a human being whois suffering and reaching out for help to somebody who should be all means provide it to me undconditionally
09:50 <Nothing\> steve30, honestly i won't even tell a professional when i'm suicidal
10:01 <Nothing\> actually when i'm genuinely suicidal, i won't tell anyone who i know can stop me
10:59 <Nothing\> like the other week i was, and i brought it up in here cuz i know nobody in here knows my personal details. And if they did, they certainly wouldn't call 911 pre-emptively if i just said i was suicidal. Where a doctor would most likely have you locked up if you said you were genuinely suicidal.
11:23 <Nothing\> but when i'm suicidal my thinking is, if i tell anyone, they'll try and stop me. So it's best to keep it to myself.
11:32 <Nothing\> and i usually plan it out weeks in advance
12:25 <Nothing\> i already know how i'd do it if i ever got the urge again, but i make sure i don't have any of the supplies on hand. And it would take several weeks to gather the supplies. So usually by then i've changed my mind or the feeling at least isn't as strong and i can cope in other ways.
13:41 <steve30> Even if I did know your exact whereabouts, and was 100% certain that you were telling the truth about where you are, I don't even know how I would get through to the Canadian emergency services from here in england.
14:09 <Nothing\> i'm sure you could call 999 and they could somehow route the information over to our services
14:32 <Nothing\> they've gotta have some protocol for that with the ubiquity of the internet and international chats
15:05 <steve30> you'd think so
15:19 <Nothing\> having frequently drug based servers in the past, i know there were times when the safety of a user was in question and the admins had to find a way to get touch with his local emergency services
15:31 <Nothing\> but that was usually an american admin helping an american user
15:53 <Nothing\> we only had a handfull of non-yanks in there
16:32 <Nothing\> hrm
16:37 <Nothing\> so i was just thinking
17:04 <Nothing\> with this TL866, if I wanted to connect my scope to one of the pins to record what's going on while it's doing it's thing
17:22 <Nothing\> where would i connect the ground clip on my scope? just to the ground pin on the chip?
17:51 <Nothing\> i'd imagine that'd ground it just the same as if you were using it in-circuit
18:16 <Nothing\> and hell, i could always measure it against VCC using my meter to be sure
18:32 <Nothing\> the voltage, that is
18:57 <Nothing\> speaking of which, i was actually thinking about printing off one of those ohm's law charts for the people at this vape shop i frequent
19:15 <Nothing\> i figure it would make a nice little reference for them to tape to the wall in their back room
19:39 <Nothing\> https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/dccircuits-dcp4.gif
19:42 <Nothing\> something like that
23:06 * Ampera kisses Nothing\
23:10 <Ampera> how are you
23:17 * Nothing\ tongues Ampera :P
23:21 <Nothing\> hey bb
23:24 <Nothing\> ;P
23:30 <Nothing\> lol how's it going, bud?
23:40 <Ampera> I'm on the interstate
24:27 <Ampera> IRC at 65 MPH
26:34 <Nothing\> lol nice
26:43 <Nothing\> Ampera, how's the weather there? it's fucking gorgeous here
26:54 <Nothing\> 16c last i checked, which is what in f....
27:04 <Nothing\> 61
27:22 <Nothing\> who'da thunk it, huh? 61 in canada in the middle of december
27:38 <Nothing\> like i was tellin the guy at the clinic, we'll be growin oranges in alaska soon enough
28:05 <Ampera> https://imgur.com/a/pLCXJ22
28:05 <EEVBot> [Title] - Imgur: The magic of the Internet
28:05 <Nothing\> oh yeah Ampera i reduced my dose of methadone again. I'm at an even 70mg now
28:07 <Nothing\> :D
28:12 <Ampera> that's how
28:30 <Nothing\> yeah it's grey here too
28:31 <Nothing\> but warm
28:40 <Nothing\> we just had a huge rain storm this morning
28:48 <Nothing\> and they're calling for like 50mph winds later
29:53 <Nothing\> oh man and i'm so happy. I found out not only does this TL866 program my EEPROMs, but it will indeed do 8051/52 equivalents, ATTinys AND it even has a function for testing 4000 and 7400 series chips
30:34 <Nothing\> it's so amazing when i watch dave's teardown of his late 1980's vintage chip programmer that's about the size of a cash register
30:53 <Nothing\> meanwhile this thing's go the footprint of a credit card and only about an inch high
31:40 <Nothing\> and programs 17,500 chips alone. Plus for the testing feature you can write up your own truth tables and add custom chips if your chip isn't in there
36:49 <Nothing\> i seem to have a pariah prism
36:58 <Nothing\> everywhere i look, pariahs
37:29 <Ampera> Diner near my mom's house is packed
52:42 <Nothing\> dang
53:00 <Nothing\> i'm just playing with my EEPROM reader
53:06 <Nothing\> uh oh, the power just flickered
53:15 <Nothing\> it's super windy out today
53:27 <Nothing\> i better charge up my ecigs
53:48 <Ampera> you big flick
53:56 <Nothing\> lol
54:21 <Nothing\> man, i really wanna get an ebook reader
55:09 <Nothing\> i don't need a phone or anything. I'd just like to be able to read my datasheets and app notes and so on while i'm on the can without having to print them all off
55:54 <jaymax> Get the Kindle Paperwhite. Find info on the mobileread forums about it. If you like UART hackery, that's what you need to do to root the damn thing.
56:18 <Nothing\> i've actually never done anything with UART, but i'd love to learn
56:28 <Nothing\> i just can't seem to find any good resources on it
56:39 <jaymax> Mobileread calls it the PW2 - Dave owns one but I doubt he did it.
56:46 <jaymax> Rooting, that is.
56:59 <Nothing\> all i can ever find is either a 1 page article on serial protocols, or a 5-10 minute youtube video showing somebody doing it
57:14 <Nothing\> ah
58:02 <Nothing\> man, these same chip programmers i have are like $20 on aliexpress
58:11 <Nothing\> opposed to the $150 mine cost after duty
58:12 <jaymax> Yeah, UART is the serial connection. Root by setting up a TTY to get to a special boot mode, login, and change some perms. BTW, All the old eReaders are of no use on the internet at this point.
58:24 <Nothing\> buti only paid ~$120
58:29 <Nothing\> still way too much though
58:37 <Nothing\> but i'm justglad i have it
58:48 <Nothing\> and that i could support ben eater's channel by ordering it through him
59:19 <Nothing\> he's one of the big influences i had getting into EE and CS
00:02 <jaymax> For my rationale into getting the MiniPro, was through Adrian Black.
00:22 <Nothing\> him, EEVBLOG, Big Clive, and two programs, Logisim, and CircuitMod.
00:40 <Nothing\> those were my biggest influences getting into EE
01:51 <Nothing\> kajunga
01:53 <jaymax> I'm into the hackery side, maker shit, carry forward existing crap that is otherwise bricked-by-IoT (Internet of trash).
01:55 <Nothing\> kajungajunga
02:20 <Nothing\> jaymax, i'd love to get into circuitbending. But i've yet to find any toys that i could do it with
02:35 <Nothing\> i'd love to get a little children'spiano orsomething
02:56 <jaymax> circuitbending? like waveform?
03:08 <jaymax> Sawtooth etc?
03:12 <Nothing\> nah like
03:23 <Nothing\> well i guess the best way to explain is to show
03:56 <Nothing\> hey, this sounds like a good example

03:58 <EEVBot> [Title] - Youtube: THE FURBY ORGAN, A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT MADE FROM FURBIES
04:09 <Nothing\> guy turned a bunch of furbys into a musical organ
04:29 <jaymax> Oh, like the Floppotron!
04:40 <Nothing\> but that's the basic idea, you get some sort of electronics like a kid's toy and you hack it to do things it's not meant to do
04:50 <Nothing\> make neat sounds, stuff like that
05:06 <Nothing\> or accept inputs totrigger certain behaviors
05:42 <jaymax> Ever see the DefCon video where they hacked the modern Teddy Huxpin?

10:16 <Nothing\> rofl DHess_US
10:20 <Nothing\> hey man, how you doing?
10:37 <Nothing\> DHess_US, i had a joke i thought of about you last night but i wrote it on my hand it and got all smudged
10:44 <Nothing\> some reference to your last name
10:55 <Nothing\> maybe i wrote it down in me scratchpad
10:57 <DHess_US> German jokes are always hilarious.
11:13 <Nothing\> DHess_US, ein wurstmacher kampf ein muslibox
11:20 <Nothing\> and yes, it's meant to be spelled that way
11:35 <Nothing\> there were no unintentional errors
11:49 <Nothing\> actually it's supposed to be
12:02 <Nothing\> ich werde jetzen ein deutsch witzagen
12:09 <Nothing\> and then you tell the joke
12:33 <Nothing\> it was from southpark. They used the language really weird to make it so all of the german was almost like puns
12:57 <jaymax> Awk-ward....
13:02 <Nothing\> here

13:04 <EEVBot> [Title] - Youtube: South Park - Germans
13:07 <Nothing\> rofl jaymax exactly
13:22 <Nothing\> i showed it to my mum and she couldn't even make heads or tails of the german
13:25 <Nothing\> (she's fluent)
14:23 <Nothing\> DHess_US, ah yeha i did write it down
14:34 <Nothing\> DHess_US, you remember the old jim henson show, dinosaurs?
14:55 <Nothing\> was a big hit back in the 90's
15:09 <Nothing\> it's still a good show. I just went back and watched it not long ago.
15:20 <Nothing\> But I forgot the main character's best friend's name is Roy Hess
15:29 <Nothing\> so apparently germans existed on Pangea
18:54 <DHess_US> I know it existed. I never watched it.
19:31 <Nothing\> that's too bad, it was a good show
19:55 <Nothing\> i suggest giving it a try. It's on tpb if you're interested. But that's your choice. I'm just making you aware it's available
20:08 <Nothing\> even as an adult it holds up well
20:17 <Nothing\> actually there's a lot of adult oriented humour in it
20:45 <Nothing\> oh hey jaymax
20:50 <Nothing\> guess what
21:04 <Nothing\> brb someone's at the door i think
21:47 <Nothing\> ah nm it was a kitty playing with something by the front door
22:06 <Nothing\> anywho jaymax, i went down again on my dose of methadone
22:22 <Nothing\> now i'm at an even 70mg. Down from 80mg I was on up till last week
22:53 <Nothing\> but it's always easiest when you first start going down. It's that last 10mg that'll kill ya
29:13 <Nothing\> man, i'm trying to find some equivalent to buckyballs online. You know those little magnetic ballbearings they took off the market cuz kids kept swallowing them?
29:53 <Nothing\> the only ones i can find are either 6 balls cubed, with 2.5mm balls. Which barely gives you a 1in wide cube
30:06 <Nothing\> or 5 balls that are 5mm. Which again is practically the same size
30:36 <Nothing\> i want something that's a good like, 2in cubed at least
40:32 <jaymax> I can attest that last bit for psychotropics. Moving from Clozapine to Aripiprazole (that last 12.5mg of Clozapine when 350mg is typical dose) and Aripiprazole (that last 0.5mg when 10mg is typical), I had insomnia those two events.
41:56 <jaymax> Sleeping four or five nights for that week of each transition.
58:44 <Nothing\> that's why i won't touch most psychotropics with a 10 foot pole
58:55 <Nothing\> as it is i'm having a really hard time with my clonazepam, tbh
59:05 <Nothing\> i'm on 1mg twice a day
59:19 <Nothing\> but it's enough that if i don't have it, i become EXTREME emotionally volatile
59:27 <Nothing\> to the point where i'm almost paranoid
00:19 <Nothing\> i can't count how many times i've accused my mum of denigrating or gaslighting me or otherwise trying to mess with me. When she's the LAST person in the world who would do anything of that sort to anybody. Much less her own son.
01:01 <Nothing\> or i'll just start crying, like full of sobbing etc for 30, 45 mins at a time
01:33 <Nothing\> or off and on for several hours. Usually until i get some in my system
20:41 * Nothing\ plays Metroid: Dread
22:12 <Nothing\> for how little i heard about this game after its release, it's a pretty damn good game.
22:30 <Nothing\> Better than any of the Prime ones, That's for sure.
23:08 <Nothing\> definitely worth the $80
33:46 <Nothing\> hey, do any of you know the name of a cheap PLD off hand?

25:55 <T3sl4> yo
26:08 <electrohead> hey man
26:16 <electrohead> I just had an interesting fucking adventure today
26:29 <electrohead> I'm going to get drunk
26:30 <electrohead> fuck it
26:34 <T3sl4> \o/
26:43 <electrohead> \o/
26:50 <Nothing\> yuh oh
26:55 <Nothing\> power keeps flickering
27:02 <electrohead> fuck my family at this point \o/
27:05 <Nothing\> for the last few hours
27:23 <Nothing\> electrohead, i can relate :/
27:36 <Nothing\> the only good, "real" family i have is my mum
27:50 <Nothing\> by that i mean, family who acts like one would expect family to
28:14 <Nothing\> you know, loyal, loving and supportive unconditionally
28:37 <Nothing\> or really anywhere close to any one of those three things
28:41 <Nothing\> i woulda taken that

29:03 <EEVBot> [Title] - Lagunitas Contents Under Fresher
29:05 <electrohead> that's what I picked up today
29:34 <T3sl4> sounds disgusting
29:36 <Nothing\> in fairness i disowned my brother but that's because he's an alcoholic pill addict who's using my mom to drive him around whenever he demands it
29:44 <Nothing\> then talks shit about how she does it wrong
29:51 <electrohead> it's actually really good
29:59 <T3sl4> jk, i'm sure it's a lovely blend, it's just, i have a few sips of something like that, and it's still...just...yep that's really hoppy
30:12 <Nothing\> like she made a dentist appointment for him and couldn't get him in for a couple of weeks because, well, dentists are busy
30:25 <Nothing\> so he just bitched about how she couldn't make a dentist appointment for him righ
30:25 <Nothing\> t
31:12 <Nothing\> i mean if he at least thanked her for trying or something, showed some redeeming quality of that sort. Not just in this matter but in ANY matter of this sort, I'd be a lot more patient with him.
32:02 <Nothing\> But since he's been nothing but insulting and disrespectful to our mum, despite her taking him out to buy a damn 6 pack of soda when he asks her to and stuff like that
33:02 <Nothing\> or they'll make plans to get groceries and instead he'll get fucked up on pills or booze, or both and pass out all day, and she'll be stuck waiting for him to call because that's how she is. She'll wait for him to call all day until he finally does like 8 hours late and still takes him out.
33:09 <Nothing\> or did anyway
33:13 <Nothing\> i put a stop to that
34:27 <Nothing\> he thinks i'm just being petty and trying to keep her to myself or some crap cuz we live together. He thinks I get all of this free food and free bills and stuff, when I give my mum more than 80% of my money to cover bills and rent and food
34:54 <Nothing\> and she onlytakes me out maybe once or twice a week to medical appointments. Which I said I didn't mind if she took him to appointments like that either.
35:40 <Nothing\> i even had no problem with her helping him move and making multiple trips across several days to do so. I have no problem if it's something that's actually necessary.
35:51 <Nothing\> even if she takes him out more frequently than i do.
36:04 <electrohead> T3sl4: yeah I'm a fan of the semi-strong hoppiness
36:04 <Nothing\> frankly i don't even like going out
36:22 <electrohead> but this one, it's not as strong, hop-wise, as most other IPAs I get
36:29 <T3sl4> ah
36:55 <Nothing\> man, this one brand of lager i used to drink back when i drank beer, james ready...
36:56 <electrohead> you probably wouldn't like fog monster, from the sounds of it
36:57 <electrohead> lol
37:12 <Nothing\> for some reason ever time i drank it, the day after my mouth would reek of yeast
37:35 <Nothing\> at least i assume it's yeast because i've had the same taste from cheap wine
37:54 <T3sl4> on that note, there's a local brew pub, which i think partly on account of only having only the modest selection they make in house, their "IPA"s aren't very strong at all, i mean i've had ales hoppier than them
37:56 <Nothing\> i onlydrank the stuff cuz it was 5.5% which is strong for a lager here
38:15 <T3sl4> so, although none of their brews are particularly strong in any direction, they're all pretty drinkable too
38:35 <electrohead> what's the strongest percentage beer you ever had?
38:35 <Nothing\> i rarely ever drank expensive beer cuz i don't like the taste as it is
39:14 <Nothing\> so it doesn't matter to me if it's a fancy "good" tasting brew, or if it's just piss. As long as it got ME pissed.
39:17 <T3sl4> (strong as in, intensity of flavorings/spices, darkness, maltiness, alcohol, bitterness, acidity, etc)
39:24 <Nothing\> oh man
39:35 <T3sl4> i've had a... 12%ish barley wine before? something like that
39:38 <Nothing\> they used to have this stuff from Labatt here called Shok
39:48 <Nothing\> it was basically an energy drink beer
39:48 <T3sl4> not too often, they're not usually all that great tbh
39:56 Quit: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
39:59 <Nothing\> beer mixed with guarana berry juice
40:04 <Nothing\> which made it sweeter than any malt
40:13 <Nothing\> it was so sickening
40:16 <T3sl4> next to that, various russian imperial stouts in the 10% range, plus or minus a few points

40:30 <electrohead> there's a strong as fuck brew, heh
40:36 <electrohead> hops are an understatement
40:38 <Nothing\> molson tried something similar but i forget what it's called
40:46 <Nothing\> but yeah we'd never have any strong lagers
40:49 <Nothing\> just malt liquor
40:51 <electrohead> percentage wise, I do remember having something 12 or 13 percent
40:59 <Nothing\> which i think were around 7 or 8%
41:09 <Nothing\> colt 45 and things of that nature
41:12 <T3sl4> Nothing\: fruit beers can be alright but that sounds rather over the top, yeah
41:34 <Nothing\> T3sl4, i never liked flavoured beers period
41:41 <T3sl4> usually just a little fruit added to the brew and fermented so it ends up tart and dry rather than sweet
41:45 <Nothing\> even worse than regular beer
41:45 <electrohead> https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/335/5428/
41:51 <Nothing\> as in moderately priced lager
41:54 <electrohead> now *that's* a tasty beer
42:05 <T3sl4> yeah
42:18 <electrohead> expensive as fuck, though
42:48 <Nothing\> electrohead, that's okay. Beer's expensive here as it os

17:05 <Kuschelpony> Hello
17:22 <doggyrat> hello Kuschelpony
17:39 <doggyrat> how was your weekend
18:21 <Kuschelpony> boring lonely as usual, lets skip this part of conversation please
18:44 <Kuschelpony> at least i did not slip on the ice on my morning walkout
21:14 <doggyrat> i am not very good in interacting with people that i did prove in a discord veteran channel i am in to advertise my project
24:36 <Kuschelpony> i tried discord a year ago but left after a software problewm, never liked how noisy and bling-y that thing is
24:58 <Kuschelpony> impossible to trace or save a conversation or find past content
26:43 <doggyrat> i do prefer IRC simple reliable and no stupid pictures or videos all the time
28:58 <Kuschelpony> oh i would be happy if there would be an easier wy to add pictures, thats why i preferably use XMPP
29:10 <Kuschelpony> but IRC seems to be more popular around
29:32 <Kuschelpony> otherwise im exactly for the reason of simple text here
30:21 <doggyrat> i never heard about xmpp but i am no nerd
30:49 <Kuschelpony> its the generalisation of the classic Jabber
33:57 <doggyrat> that is what i did find on google , what program are you using for xmpp
34:06 <Kuschelpony> Gajim
45:05 <T3sl4> hmmm, guess it's about time i order a new SSD
46:39 <doggyrat> i have heard about that new technology :P but never have seen one in my old computers :(
04:08 <jaymacks> Kuschelpony: you use the XMPP bridge to get here?
07:17 <jaymax> As in... xmpp:#eevblog%[email protected]
07:44 <Kuschelpony> jaymacks, no i have not yet tried to use such a bridge
07:52 <Kuschelpony> im using here old X-Chat
08:34 <Kuschelpony> what i really would love to have is a bridge to Telegram to connect with people there without having a mobile phone
08:36 <doggyrat> i would recommend hex chat
08:43 <jaymax> If you give it a shot, let me know if cheogram loads up a bit of history on first connect.
09:16 <doggyrat> it has some kind of typing correction showing my spelling is bad
09:18 <Kuschelpony> we can talk again about this in the later evening (in about 6 to 7 hours)
09:34 <Kuschelpony> im happy to try but currently beeing more busy with housework and lunch
09:58 <jaymax> Fair. That was about if for me anyway. 😁
18:50 <Kuschelpony> sometimes i think i should be make a second job as consultant for DIY audio
19:14 <Kuschelpony> i would only ask 5€ every time someones uses an "star ground" and has the expected weird issues
20:42 <Kuschelpony> like shortwave oscilations
26:33 <Halcyon> Evening all
28:55 <doggyrat> hello Halcyon
29:36 <doggyrat> Kuschelpony: 5euro for how long , being my consultant
31:06 <Kuschelpony> Hello Halcyon
31:47 <Kuschelpony> doggyrat, for the seconds that i need to spot the "star ground" and explain them that their "neat isolated wires" are the inductors of their unintentional shorttwave oscilator
33:19 <Halcyon> Hey guys
33:59 <doggyrat> you do mean grounding one side of the isolating wire
35:29 <Kuschelpony> i meant, that there is a religion of having a "star ground" and then routng from there to all "ground" connections, with independ isolated wires or seperated board traces
35:55 <Kuschelpony> the opposite of a ground plane and decoupling caps with shortest possible connections
37:29 <Kuschelpony> i fully agree to have a "zero volt" point and from there route that as reference voltaqge to all needed points, plus a ground plane that shields the board and allows the least worst HF shunting
38:57 <Kuschelpony> sorry for ranting
39:28 <Kuschelpony> what i am searchign in the first place was for examples and suggestions for an TDA7294 with differentiel XLR input

55:17 <TheDude> hi
55:20 <watcher> Hello doggyrat
56:03 <doggyrat> are you both nerds i am not i am a kind of high noob or high boon
58:45 <Kuschelpony> i am likely not a nerd, just an almost-engineer
59:49 <doggyrat> engineers are a kind of nerd , i consider everyone being good in a subject as kind of nerd
59:54 <watcher> I can get with wat Kuschelpony say a nerd != to engineer. it came close but it not the same
