02:33:24 <Nothing\> lol my cat keeps stealing ornaments off the tree
02:33:36 <Nothing\> or just chewing on the wire in it lol
02:33:57 <Nothing\> he stole the creepy germanic santa with his beard down to his knees

02:35:38 <Nothing\> hey arch
02:35:45 <Nothing\> how goes it?
02:36:03 * T3sl4 hugs Nothing\
02:36:08 <Nothing\> d'aww
02:36:17 * Nothing\ hugs T3sl4 <3
02:36:18 <T3sl4> mornin
02:36:29 <Nothing\> so it is. holy crap
02:37:14 <Nothing\> i was just thinking the other day i don't remember the last time i woke up before noon without having to
02:37:26 <Nothing\> how you doing, bud?
02:37:37 <T3sl4> just sipping a coffee and procrastinating work
02:37:45 <T3sl4> i mean, it's sunday so i don't have to, but i may yet
02:38:47 <Nothing\> hehe nice
02:38:55 <Nothing\> lucky bastard @ the coffee though
02:39:00 <Nothing\> i'm still waitin on mine
02:39:18 <Nothing\> i'm sure hoping santa has a keurig for me
02:39:42 <Nothing\> we have one but it only makes "large" cups which are watered down to high hell so i refuse to use it for anything
02:40:08 <Nothing\> plus i like to put an abundance of cream in my coffee, which is just impossible when your keurig fills the largest cup you have to the rim
02:41:05 <Nothing\> i called their tech support line and after about the 3rd or 4th mandatory item on their script checklist i got sick of playing along and hung up
02:41:33 <T3sl4> the system works as intended
02:41:41 <Nothing\> hahaha
02:41:43 <Nothing\> actually that's true
02:42:02 <Nothing\> when i worked tech support at comcast, we actually did get bonii for having shorter calls
02:42:09 <Nothing\> and they didn't give 2 shits whether we fixed anything
02:42:20 <Nothing\> all they cared about was if we were polite and friendly
02:42:25 <Nothing\> that was what our training focused on
02:42:33 <Nothing\> that and how to use the company software
02:42:57 <Nothing\> and the basic call flow process, logging and all that stuff
02:43:26 <Nothing\> there's actually a surpsing amount of multitasking required for such a gig
02:43:58 <Nothing\> i'm glad i quit though, i found out a year later the owner sold the company and everything got outsourced
02:44:20 <Nothing\> i knew they were getting ready for it though cuz they already opened offices in malaysia and a few other countries like that
02:44:42 <Nothing\> but it was only 2006 so outsourcing for call centers was still relatively new

02:57:06 <Nothing\> hey Kuschelpony
02:57:16 <Kuschelpony> hello nothing
02:57:22 <Nothing\> how's it going?
02:57:36 <Kuschelpony> freezing and sweating
02:57:46 <Nothing\> aw man that's the worst
02:57:53 <Kuschelpony> 8km walkout at increased speed
02:57:54 <Nothing\> it's a good way to get hypothermia, too
02:57:59 <Nothing\> nice
02:58:05 <Nothing\> i wish i did healthy stuff like that
02:58:06 <Kuschelpony> at 1,5°C outside
02:58:17 <Kuschelpony> thats at the border of healthy...
02:58:33 <Kuschelpony> im going for a hot shower, will be back in about 20 minutes
02:58:42 <Nothing\> enjoy
03:02:33 <Nothing\> guess i'll play legend of zelda breath of the wild
03:03:01 <Nothing\> you know what they should do
03:03:10 <Nothing\> dna ancestry testing for your pets
03:03:35 <Nothing\> i was thinking the other day and wondering what kinda crazy place the distant ancestors of my cats came from
03:03:59 <Nothing\> had to have been somewhere in the old world, i don't think there are any cat species that were originally endemic to the new world
03:04:16 <Nothing\> oh wait i guess there are cougars and bobcats and lynx...es?
03:04:39 <Nothing\> although a lynx has nothing on a gamegear
03:04:53 <Nothing\> my brother was mauled by a gamebear, he was never the same again
03:05:01 <Nothing\> *gamegear lol freudian slip

03:05:17 <Nothing\> curious
03:05:19 <Nothing\> and hungry
03:05:24 <Nothing\> never thought a url could make me hungry
03:05:38 <Nothing\> wtf
03:05:46 <Nothing\> so it's a log that smells like kfc?
03:06:05 <Nothing\> i could see that working too well, or just being disgusting
03:07:07 <Nothing\> unless you actually analyzed real KFC chicken and gravy and figured out exactly what compounds cause the specific smells that make them smell tasty, there's no way it could be the same
03:07:21 <Nothing\> then they'd have to somehow figure out a way to make it so it's not destroyed by fire
03:07:34 <Nothing\> then they'd have to make a log that doesn't have any other smells to it
03:08:11 <Nothing\> i'm skeptical, unless the development process involved a lot of serendipity
03:10:10 <DHess_US> Add the secret "14 herbs and spices" powder to the log. There, it wasn't complicated at all.
03:10:32 <DHess_US> But the whole idea reminds me of Green Christmas, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5IXlfJSEi4

03:18:40 <Nothing\> i don't think i've ever heard of that
03:18:45 <Nothing\> but it sounds like a stoner film lol
03:19:12 <Nothing\> lol far from it
03:19:23 <Nothing\> i like it
03:19:38 <Nothing\> is this a movie or just an album?
03:20:24 <Nothing\> "billboards showing santa clause pausing to refresh himself with our product"
03:20:29 <Nothing\> so... coke?
03:20:41 <Nothing\> they were a bit on the nose with that one
03:22:20 <Nothing\> heh DHess_US where's this been all my life
03:22:46 <Nothing\> this is almost as good as the mackenzie brothers album
03:24:46 <arch> can small signal transistors handle some minor amounts of avalanche energy from switching say a few cm of wire?
03:24:53 <arch> inductive load*
03:25:04 <DHess_US> Nothing\, Stan Freberg did a lot of great stuff.
03:25:16 <Nothing\> yeah the name rings a bell for sure
03:25:27 <Kuschelpony> and back
03:25:32 <Nothing\> hey Kuschelpony
03:25:39 <Nothing\> feeling nice and refreshed now?
03:25:52 <Kuschelpony> and very wet, steaming now
03:26:08 <Nothing\> i was thinking now that my knee problems seem to be better, i should try running, or at least jogging
03:26:19 * arch makes T3sl4 wet
03:26:24 <Nothing\> but i can't breathe heavy in cold air, it hurts my lungs like crazy afterwards
03:26:54 <Kuschelpony> arch, i do not think any common small signal transistor can switch anywhere fast enough that a few cm of wire create significant overvoltage at all
03:27:05 <Nothing\> i remember in this book i read as a kid this guy was stuck in the wilderness in winter and got pneumonia from overexerting himself in the cold and breathing heavy
03:27:10 <arch> cool
03:29:13 <Nothing\> DHess_US, you've definitely got me hooked
03:29:23 <Nothing\> i'm watching his commercial bits now

03:29:55 <arch> i am making this, so im making the controller for the PWM using a 555 timer. will use a USB port as the power source, so stepping up 5V to ~11V using inverting-buck-boost: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3474360

03:30:05 <Nothing\> on one hand i'm bitter for only just having discovered him, but on the other i'm happy to have such great classic comedy be so novel
03:30:13 <arch> 5V + |-6.5V|
03:33:13 <arch> using a level shifter for the driver so i can save about 100mW in wasted power (if i were to power the 555 timer directly from 11V): https://i.imgur.com/nEabLS1.png
03:34:30 <arch> 555 timer is really a power hog at higher voltages =/
03:34:43 <arch> 3mA at 5V; but something like 15mA at 12V
03:34:48 <Nothing\> i was gonna make something like a list of numbers in a ROM chip, and make a circuit to pipe them into an adder and save the results to an SRAM chip
03:34:59 <Nothing\> just for the hell of it mind you, no practical purpose
03:35:15 <Nothing\> i think it'd be a good exercise to get me comfortable with bus architecture and bus transfers
03:35:26 <arch> and i dont wanna pay money for the cmos variant since i already have like 90 odd ne555 left :D
03:35:37 <arch> enough 555 timers to last a lifetime, probably
03:35:54 <Nothing\> arch, doesn't the 555 just drop 1.5 volts? or does that go up the higher the voltage you use?
03:36:11 <Nothing\> i always heard 1.5v but now that i think about it, i never really measured it
03:36:35 <Nothing\> arch: i'm telling you though 7555s are totally worth it
03:37:54 <Nothing\> i had the same deal, i had like 30 or 40 ne555s and thought the same, but when i got my 7555s i never used another ne555 unless i accidentally grab them and just can't be arsed to get a 7555 lol
03:38:01 <Kuschelpony> nothing, yes they do drop about 2*Ube if i remember correctly
03:38:25 <Nothing\> aww my poor kitty tried jumping from the counter to the table in the kitchen and missed the table and kinda flopped onto the floor
03:38:38 <Nothing\> he's not a terribly graceful cat compared to my other one
03:38:56 <Nothing\> she'll run around on the railing of my stairs, and that's barel 1in wide
03:39:05 <Nothing\> lol she literally plays the floor is lava
03:39:18 <Nothing\> haha and she damn near wiped out just now herself
03:39:24 <Nothing\> wtf is wrong with them today
03:40:38 <Nothing\> she used to freak me out, she'd crawl under the bottom of the railing going across our landing, an then jump from under there to a ledge behind the steps. kinda hard to explain, but the main point is if she fell it was a good 15 feet to the stairs below
03:41:24 <Nothing\> and at least 3 or 4 times she missed, a couple of times she managed to grab the carpet with her claws and pull herself up, just hanging by her front legs with her back legs dangling
03:41:37 <Nothing\> and a couple of other times i had to run over and help her up before she fell
03:42:14 <Nothing\> thankfully she learned her lesson by now and doesn't do that anymore. but she still climbs on the railing and it's just as far a fall if she falls off that the wrong way
03:42:24 <Nothing\> but she's never so much as faltered on there
03:42:35 <Nothing\> musta been a gymnast in another life
03:43:15 <Nothing\> lol meanwhile my other cat's so big he can barely jump 2 feet across from the counter to the table
03:54:01 <Nothing\> holy fuck that's scary
03:54:22 <Nothing\> they're expecting by the end of january we'll be having 26,500 cases of covid a day
03:54:51 <Nothing\> we barely passed 10,000 during the height of the 4th wave
03:55:20 <Nothing\> they've opened up 3rd shots for everyone 18+ now
03:57:25 <Nothing\> okay i don't get this
03:57:32 <Kuschelpony> yeah :(
03:57:49 <Nothing\> every news outlet is saying just ontario has had 4,177 cases yesterday, right
03:57:56 <Kuschelpony> and germaqny again does not act as needed, waiting until "things are a bit more clear"
03:58:05 <Nothing\> but i check the total cases for all of canada on google, and it says something like 3200 cases
03:58:09 <Nothing\> for the whole country
03:58:17 <Nothing\> somebody's numbers aren't right
03:58:23 <Kuschelpony> i expect it takes about 3 to 4 days and then some hard lockdown right to christmas
03:58:45 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, yeah we're doing the same thing, we're not locking anything down. We've limited occupancy numbers but that's it
03:58:59 <Nothing\> oh and the kids aren't going back to school in the new year
03:59:05 <Nothing\> they're going back to virtual learning
03:59:57 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, i'm just glad i got vaccinated when i did. I was initially not going to but then things just kept getting worse and worse, globally
04:00:21 <Nothing\> but i figured, i only go out once a week, and that's to the clinic for my meds. So i'm not at terribly high risk
04:01:09 <Nothing\> but then my dipshit brother takes no precautions at all, goes to this illegal dispensary where nobody wears masks, there are no occupancy limits, no mandates of any sort and it's more like a cafe than a dispensary
04:01:29 <Nothing\> so you hang out, smoke your weed. You've got people sharing bongs and sharing joints and stuff
04:01:42 <Kuschelpony> im happy that i got my third vaccination a good week ago, but other people might have bad luck as we expect to run almost out of vaccine in february
04:01:50 <Nothing\> meanwhile my mum takes him out shopping and helps him with his errands
04:02:03 <Nothing\> so i keep telling her she's gonna end up getting it from him. Even though she's vaccinated now
04:02:15 <Nothing\> but i figured if that's the case, i should get vaccinated just in case
04:02:34 <Nothing\> my health's started failing my these last couple of years i don't need it failing any worse
04:02:56 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, that's good to hear. I checked with the pharmacy and found out i've still got a bit of a wait
04:03:16 <Nothing\> they said they're recommending 87 days, so i figure basically 3 months
04:03:39 <Nothing\> and i think it's been 2 since i got my 2nd shot cuz i got screwed around so much trying to find somebody who actually had the vaccine for my second shot
04:04:09 <Nothing\> the government was so worried about being able to say "we've vaccinated X number of people" that they prioritized first shots over second shots
04:05:08 <Nothing\> even though the recommendation was that you wait what was it? 21 days? 28 days? something like that between your first and second shot. The government was making people wait 4 months so they had more vaccine for the first shots
04:06:00 <Nothing\> actually now that i remember it, that's a big reason i didn't get my vaccine too. I was waiting for the government to stop screwing around and let us get vaccinated when we're supposed to, since waiting 4 months was KNOWN to make the vaccine less effective
04:06:38 <Nothing\> the manufacturers were saying point blank, waiting longer than the recommended period will make it less effective. But Trudeau needed to inflate his numbers.
04:18:02 <Nothing\> cool, 64x16 LED matrix for $9
04:18:26 <Nothing\> it's really just a bunch of 8x8s but i've got a similar module and they're pretty seamless from a distance
04:18:58 <Nothing\> except i could never find an arduino library that worked right (or intuitively?) with a MAX7219
04:20:24 <Nothing\> huh
04:20:42 <Nothing\> they have these flexible LED matrix displays now
04:20:48 <Nothing\> it's like rubber
04:21:05 <Nothing\> but it's also $60 for a 64x16
04:21:14 <watcher> is writing you own not a sollution
04:21:39 <Nothing\> watcher, i was considering it but i don't have the knowledge to do so
04:21:40 <watcher> and publicing that after some clean up and writing good documation?
04:22:20 <Nothing\> in a perfect world, maybe
04:22:34 <watcher> I hava also no excepience with arduino or MAX719 so i can't write it for you
04:22:55 <Nothing\> hey don't worry about it. I wouldn't expect or ask anyone to do that anyways
04:23:06 <Nothing\> but i appreciate the sentiment. Thanks buddy. :)
04:23:47 <Nothing\> i know the feeling though, when somebody comes in here with a problem and you wanna help but it's beyond your knowledge and all you can do is sit there and shrug
04:24:01 <Nothing\> that's half of my interactions in here lol
04:25:16 <watcher> if it is in micropyhton i could make a try. but i have a lot of other project that i want to finish
04:25:17 <Nothing\> maaaaaan i'm bored
04:25:37 <Nothing\> hehe no worries

05:33:40 <Kuschelpony> do you see anything wrong to use an ACS712 current sensor for the classic lab power supply, instead of a low sie shunt?
05:41:34 <DHess_US> It is slow and low precision
05:42:42 <Kuschelpony> should still be adequate for the classic LM324 circuit
05:43:20 <DHess_US> It will be lower precision than a 324 circuit with a resistive shunt.
05:44:22 <Kuschelpony> perhaps, its only an idea for now where i want to get rid of the low side shunt
05:49:10 <DHess_US> It's offset drift is a 1000 times greater, its gain drift is almost 10 times greater, and its linearity is 150 times worse.
05:50:41 <DHess_US> and its noise is 10,000 times greater
05:51:00 <Kuschelpony> yeah i forget and better go to bed soon
05:51:46 <DHess_US> It has some real virtues, but only in applications which much have galvanic isolation or a huge common mode input range and that can accept horrible precision.
05:52:12 <DHess_US> If you used that in a power supply, the low performance of the constant current output would be very noticable.
05:52:36 <Kuschelpony> no i did not meant this to be sarcastic, its really night here and my tired mind is just wandering around ideas
05:54:18 <DHess_US> It would be good for motor driver, which is more along the lines of what they intended.
05:56:47 <Nothing\> that's what i should do
05:57:02 <Nothing\> i should peruse analog.com's wiki articles
05:57:43 <Nothing\> except a while ago i noticed at least a good portion of their article on p-n junction diodes was plagiarized verbatim from wikipedia.org
05:58:03 <Nothing\> they've changed it since but still, i was surprised by that. I expected better from them.
05:58:47 <Nothing\> not that it wasn't a good article. It was still informative and all but still. It makes you question other content on the site.
06:01:41 <DHess_US> Nothing\, start with the oldest, https://www.analog.com/en/analog-dialogue/archives.html
06:01:42 <EEVBot> [Title] - Archives | Analog Devices
06:01:55 <DHess_US> I have those in paper editions.
06:05:37 <Nothing\> come to think of it i shouldn't say analog.com plagiarized wiki
06:05:43 <Nothing\> for all i know it was the other way around
06:06:12 <Nothing\> now that i remember it, i wasn't able to establish which article was written first so i couldn't write either site to bring it to their attention
06:06:35 Quit: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) Quit: Ex-Chat
06:06:40 <Nothing\> and i think analog.com's wiki is able to me edited by the public as well, isn't it?
06:06:48 <Nothing\> *able to be
06:08:19 <Nothing\> this just has archives for analogue dialogue though, not the wiki. But that's fine. I actually didn't know this existed so I'd be interested to read it.
06:09:02 <Nothing\> i didn't realize they had such a long history

06:11:13 <steve30> Is human meat tasty?
06:12:01 <steve30> On that subject, I went on a date with a vegan once. He was a more picky eater than me.
06:16:04 <Nothing\> there we go
06:16:08 <Nothing\> i'm a big spender
06:16:24 <Nothing\> just bought a whole single ATTiny85
06:16:38 <Nothing\> thought about 2 but whew that's just too rich for my blood
06:16:40 <Nothing\> lol
06:17:13 <Nothing\> i really shoulda waited till i had the money to buy a few of them but i'm just too eager to try one out
06:18:08 <Nothing\> steve30, if they ever find a viable way to make commercial human meat that's grown in a lab, i'd totally try it
06:18:25 <Nothing\> it makes me wonder how the law would view such a thing though
06:19:49 <Nothing\> there's a video on youtube that's a clip from a documentary where this guy wanted to see what human meat tasted like. But being in the UK he couldn't legally try it because apparently it's illegal to eat any human meat in the UK. But regardless, he took a tiny piece of his leg muscle out and fried it up just to get the smell of it and what not
06:20:13 <Nothing\> as i recall he said it was reminiscent of beef
06:20:47 <Nothing\> but you can't base the taste of a meat just on the muscle, a lot of the flavour comes from the juices produced from the fats and marbling
06:21:28 <electrohead> o/
06:22:50 <DHess_US> <steve30> Is human meat tasty?
06:23:04 <DHess_US> I know from personal experience that when cooked, we smell and sound like frying bacon.
06:23:19 <DHess_US> Also, human meat is known as "long pig" for a reason.
06:24:45 <electrohead> personal experience?
06:24:58 <Nothing\> heya electrohead
06:25:02 <electrohead> hey mate
06:25:11 <electrohead> also - https://i.imgur.com/wCIWups.gifv
06:25:11 <EEVBot> [Title] - "No, I'm sleeping."
06:25:36 <Nothing\> DHess_US, when i was younger, like 16-20 i used to self harm by turning the stove on and then putting my arm down on it when it was hot
06:25:45 <Nothing\> but i don't remember ever smelling my skin burning
06:25:50 <T3sl4> https://i.imgur.com/3xNx2HU.jpg
06:25:54 <Nothing\> just hearing the sizzle
06:26:33 <DHess_US> electrohead, had surgery on my wrist with local anesthesia and as part of it, they used a cauterizer. The doctor had me man the blood pressure cuff on my arm as a tourniquet in case something went wrong.
06:26:39 <Nothing\> i always imagined burning skin would smell similar to burning hair though
06:26:55 <Nothing\> just the smell of denatured proteins. real disgusting like.
06:27:07 <Nothing\> DHess_US, oh actually
06:27:10 <Nothing\> now that you mention that
06:27:22 <Nothing\> i can say that i know what burning gum tissue smells like
06:27:44 <DHess_US> At one point, blood shot across the room from an artery in my wrist.
06:27:45 <Nothing\> a couple of times my dentist had to do work below my gumline so he just cauterized my gums off so he could get at it
06:28:07 <Nothing\> and even though i had a nitrous mask on, i could still smell the smoke wafting up into my face
06:28:15 <Nothing\> smell/see
06:28:30 <Nothing\> DHess_US, that's always lovely lol
06:28:58 <Nothing\> wait, DHess_US
06:29:07 <Nothing\> was this surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome?
06:30:33 <DHess_US> No
06:30:49 <Nothing\> okay good, i've watched videos of those and it's creepy as hell
06:31:04 <Nothing\> it's more in the lower palm that they do that sorta surgery though
06:31:35 <steve30> burnt hair smells weird
06:32:26 <Nothing\> either way, that couldn't have been very comfortable. I've had surgery for an ingrown toenail once while awake but that was when i was 14 and didn't care about stuff like thta so i just sat and watched the whole thing. Which, as benign as an ingrown toenail sounds, the surgery's actually pretty cringey at points.
06:32:53 <arch> T3sl4, i make dis soon: https://i.imgur.com/l2s2Cbh.png
06:33:10 <Nothing\> Like i was left with a hole in my big toe where half of the nail used to be that was about half an inch deep or more that they had to pack full of gauze. and every day a nurse had to come and repack it. ugh.

06:33:54 <arch> well, not exactly for myself, but for the wimps at myworkplace who are afraid of rosin flux fumes. weakness disgusts me
06:34:01 <Nothing\> but i tell you, if they had to do any sort of surgery to me while i was awake now. I just haven't got the nerve for that sorta thing anymore so I'd need themm to dope me up REAL good.

06:34:15 <Nothing\> just thinking about it's making me light-headed
06:34:32 <steve30> mmm, rosin fumes
06:34:51 <Nothing\> what exactly is rosin made of anyways?
06:35:02 * arch inhales deeply
06:35:06 <arch> ahhh..smells like lung cancer
06:35:08 <steve30> trees
06:35:11 <Nothing\> some sort of plant material i'd imagine?
06:35:12 <Nothing\> yeah
06:36:04 <Nothing\> cuz there's a cannabis product called rosin where they basically take the plant and compress it between two heated plates, and the rosin is extruded out of the plant material as a sticky sort of sap
06:36:26 <Nothing\> i can't speak for the violin stuff. I have no clue about that.
06:37:04 <steve30> The violin stuff should be the same as the soldering stuff
06:37:12 <Nothing\> you think so?
06:37:22 <Nothing\> i figured they'd use a different plant
06:38:09 <arch> anyone know of a way to filter out a dirty flux container? it's filled with crud like solder droplets and nasty charred flux. i was just thinking of melting it and letting it pour through some really coarse filter
06:38:32 <arch> or i can stop being a cheapskate and get another container for $5...i think i will do that
06:41:36 <steve30> i'm going to bed

06:52:02 <Nothing\> i dunno why i keep getting news for burnaby
06:52:29 <Nothing\> i don't even live in BC. Or anywhere even near it. but I keep getting stories from the area in google news and on youtube and stuff
06:52:42 <Nothing\> especially from this area
06:53:18 <grem> Who�s a good helmet? You are! You�re a good helmet!
06:53:19 <Nothing\> either way, that's some scary footage there. But at least they won't have to try very hard to convict the guy.
06:53:21 <grem> haha
06:54:13 <Nothing\> anyone who's stupid enough to commit crimes in a car with a dash cam deserves the repercussions
06:54:40 <Nothing\> i mean, anyone stupid enough to commit crimes in general deserves the repercussions, but doubly so here
06:54:50 <Nothing\> it's a miracle nobody was hurt
06:57:33 <Nothing\> it's funny, i wouldn't expect THAT much damage from hitting a fire hydrant. But it makes perfect sense that there would be that much damage.
06:57:40 <Nothing\> it's basically a water main
06:57:54 <Nothing\> but you just don't think about something like that.

08:11:36 <Nothing\> jeez DHess_US
08:11:43 <Nothing\> i hope everyone you know is alright
08:22:17 <Nothing\> DHess_US, it's weird. We're just on the other side of lake erie here and I remember the day after that we had really heavy winds and unseasonably warm weather. But that was about it. No rain or anything. But the great lakes tend to dissipate any storms that come up this way from the US. Which kinda sucks cuz i love nothing more than a severe storm. Much as I feel shitty saying that after seeing something bad like
08:22:17 <Nothing\> when lives are lost.
08:22:48 <Nothing\> it was up to about 60 degrees here the one day
08:23:00 <Nothing\> in southern ontario
08:23:48 <Nothing\> We still get tornados here, but only maybe 5 or 6 a year if that. And they're almost always EF0 or 1
08:24:41 <Nothing\> i forget the strength but there was one a couple of years ago that wiped out most of a town and that was bad enough for us.
08:39:49 Quit: Halcyon ([email protected]) Quit: Leaving
08:40:25 <DHess_US> My guess is that the Skycrane was heading northeast to where the tornado damage was to conduct operations.
08:41:11 <DHess_US> I think the rescue work is over because of the cold, but they probably still need to clear debris.
