38:37 <Nothing\> hey jaymacks
39:25 * jaymacks finds Nothing\ 
39:53 <Nothing\> how's it going?
40:02 <Nothing\> everything nice and white up your way?
40:51 <jaymacks> The kind of winter supremacy America is jealous of.
42:02 <Nothing\> haha
42:14 <Nothing\> that reminds me
42:21 <Nothing\> i read an unsettling article this morning
42:31 <jaymacks> Oh?
43:01 <Nothing\> apparently a bunch of retired US generals are warning if Trump or his analog isn't elected in 2024 there will probably be a military coup by pro-trump factions of the military
43:14 <Nothing\> and eventually lead to a full out civil war
43:15 <jaymacks> Lol
43:32 <Nothing\> yeah it's funny at first
43:36 <Nothing\> till you realize they have nukes
43:44 <jaymacks> Qanon or Blueanon larping.
43:54 <Nothing\> oh fuck yeah
43:58 <Nothing\> i didn't even think of LARPing
43:59 * electrohead smacks the macks out of jaymacks
44:01 <Nothing\> oh god
44:06 <Nothing\> that's terrifying
44:17 <jaymax> Bruh
44:22 <Nothing\> oh yeah i did my own bit of LARPing saturday lol
44:34 <Nothing\> did i tell you about the scuffle i had at the methadone clinic?
44:47 <Nothing\> also hey electrohead <3
44:52 <Nothing\> how you doing buddy?
45:08 <jaymacks> That missing person hit you with a stack of cups?
45:14 <Nothing\> lolol no
45:27 <electrohead> hey o/
45:30 <Nothing\> some asshole was cussing out the nurses and pharmacist and being aggressive
45:39 <jaymax> \o_
45:40 <Nothing\> who were both in the main waiting room, not behind a counter
45:47 <electrohead> will the real jaymax please stand up?
45:52 <electrohead> we're gonna have a problem here
46:00 <Nothing\> which i know the main time assailants in businesses will assault somebody is when there's no barrier between them
46:13 <Nothing\> so my first instinct was to get between him and the nurses, who were half his size
46:18 <Nothing\> and i start screaming at him to gfto
46:43 <Nothing\> poking my finger into his chest telling him that's not the way to treat women or to act in public
46:52 <jaymacks> "Not my toe ... Again!"
47:10 <Nothing\> which i feel kinda bad about cuz i feel like to the nurses/pharmacist that's like saying "oh they're such delicate little flowers they can't handle your harsh language"
47:27 <Nothing\> when really i just wanted him to be respectful. Those ladies work fucking hard
47:41 <Nothing\> i figure if they coudln't handle people like that they wouldn't work there
47:57 <Nothing\> but yeah thankfully we didn't come to blows cuz the guy was twice my size
48:07 <Nothing\> but i'd be lying if i said it didn't make me feel like a big man
48:46 <Nothing\> it's just weird because i am NOT a confrontational person at all. in fact, i'd prefer to run from confrontation. Shit, any time i have even a verbal argument with someone i know i get shaking like a leaf.
49:04 <Nothing\> but this time i was calm and collected but hyper aware, it was the damndest thing
49:11 <Nothing\> but holy crap did it feel good.
49:14 <jaymacks> I have the build to be a booming voice to halt conflict in its tracks.
49:21 <Nothing\> i can see why people go out to pick fights on purpose
49:39 <Nothing\> not me lol i'm 5'7 and like 150lbs
49:59 <Nothing\> and the last fight i got in was in like grade 8 or grade 6 or something like that
50:06 <jaymacks> I'm an inch taller and over twice that mass.
50:10 <Nothing\> i just remember i only took one hit to the head but i ruined the other guy
50:22 <Nothing\> but i remember how much that one hit hurt afterwards
50:33 <Nothing\> still it was my forehead, so he probably got it worse than i did lol
51:08 <Nothing\> i dunno what i woulda done if the guy hit me the other day
51:27 <Nothing\> rationally i feel like i woulda just gone limp and gone balls to the wall with legal charges
51:38 <Nothing\> but with the way i was feeling, i mighta just gone full psychotic on him
52:47 <Nothing\> like, my strategy if i ever got into a fight i knew i'd lose would just to go totaly psycho, like scream about how i'm gonna cut off his dick and fuck him with it or slit his throat and fuck it and then play with his insides
53:05 <Nothing\> you know, just summon the absolute most visceral, hatred filled, psychotic ramblings i could muster
53:34 <Nothing\> hope the guy'll think "i don't even want to find out what this guy's gonna do to me, even if i DO kick his ass"
54:07 <Nothing\> then of course i'd probably go for the throat/neck initially and hope to make his carotid artery spasm, thereby rendering him briefly unconscious
54:33 <Nothing\> a well placed blow can do that, like those karate masters you see where they give a guy one good chop to the side of the neck and he goes down
54:50 <Nothing\> though i know in reality i'd probably just end up hitting him in the ear
55:02 <Nothing\> either that or i'd just go for the family jewels lol
55:10 <Nothing\> dig at em like a squirrel
55:17 <Nothing\> SQUIRREL STYLE!
56:38 <Nothing\> actually, i wouldn't mind learning some real MMA
57:00 <Nothing\> my cousin's fiance does it, but he's a bit stuck up so i don't think he'd ever bother helping me out with it
57:36 <Nothing\> guy volunteers at the foodbank, but won't even say 2 words to me, who is the exact sort of person who uses the foodbank
57:45 <Nothing\> fuckin hypocrite
58:06 <Nothing\> lol oh jaymacks
58:12 <Nothing\> i broke a tooth last night
58:19 <Nothing\> eating fucking good and plenties, of all things
58:49 <Nothing\> damn i tooth just sorta bent forward, but was still kinda attached. Musta been a big filling or something. But I basically had to rip the damn thing out
58:58 <Nothing\> and now there's nothing left above the gums
59:10 <Nothing\> DUNDUNDUN ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST
59:15 <jaymax> As for that civil war horse-pucky, it won't be anything "kinetic". Too many people got nothing better to do than follow the ravings of 4chan demoralists.
59:16 <Nothing\> down to 20 teeth now
59:40 <Nothing\> jaymax, these are military people who are already following him
00:02 <Nothing\> for example, many of the people involved in the insurrection were ex or current military
00:04 <Nothing\> or police
00:10 <Nothing\> oh shit that reminds me
00:24 <Nothing\> you watch bob's burgers, right?
00:27 <Nothing\> or have
01:24 <jaymax> That means bugger-all. Nancy Pelosi made that same reference and had silent meetings with the head of the military, (I forget his name right now) who made assurances with China.
01:50 <Nothing\> jaymax, yeah tbh i'll believe it when i see it
01:57 <Nothing\> as fun as it would be to watch play out
02:25 <Nothing\> oh shit why'd i just fill my mouth with crackers
02:35 <Nothing\> i haven't got enough teeth to chew all these
02:38 <jaymax> That narrative seemed to influence congress to subvert presidential power on military purposes, but there's also the 25a that they didn't use.
03:23 <Nothing\> it's funny, i heard that, i think it was mark meadows guaranteed the pro-trumpers would be protected by the national guard on jan 6
03:41 <Nothing\> and i remember one of the big issues on that day was the fact that the national guard took so long to respond
03:59 <Nothing\> it makes me wonder if the reason they took so long was because they were getting conflicting orders
04:19 <Nothing\> or some sort of internal conflict about who they should be protecting
04:36 <jaymax> The whole Qanon thing "trust the plan" seems to be an idiot stunt to believe Trumps team will fix all. Once that crapshoot fell apart, you start to see real populist progress, like ousting McAuliffe.
05:02 <Nothing\> jaymax, but yeah i remember at the time of jan 6, it was maybe a month or two after the military coup in myanmar and i was thinking nothing like that would happen in the US
05:09 <Nothing\> even watching the insurrection
05:29 <jaymax> "they were getting conflicting orders" Yeah, the one that Pelosi prevented the T admin from having better security in the first place.
05:41 <Nothing\> but i thought it was interesting that myanmar's military staged the coup on the grounds that the election that ousted them from government was DUNDUNDUN RIGGED
06:35 <Nothing\> jaymax, it's really sad that the republican party's gone from a legit, respectable organization, even if you don't agree with them, you can at least respect them
06:44 <Nothing\> to basically being a terrorist organization
06:59 <Nothing\> i mean, face it, they ARE a terrorist oranization
07:15 <Nothing\> if they were any other organization, they have been labeled terrorists by now
15:54 <jaymax> Nothing\ I don't agree with that assessment. They're "satanic panic" McCartyites, however the devastation from the competing party is much more spectacular IMO.
23:09 <jaymax> It's rather fake labels, however the Republicans are working together despite diffrences in their own parties. Compare that to Democrats where there is a significant divide between their corpratists, moderates, and Justice Dems - to the point where Democrats are berating Democrats for not getting anything done. Latest example being how Joe Manchin is being treated for blocking the BBB bill.
23:36 <jaymax> So there's *nothing* that he can be bribed for at this point?

28:43 <jaymax> FWIW the GOP has a few outliers too - namely the remnants/spawn of the Bush years - however the best thing to hope for in America at this point is a third party to emerge, and states reclaim what policy was taken for federal control. FWIW enhancing local policy would be a good thing for Canada as well, since I don't identify with hardly anything an Alberta resident wants.

47:46 <Nothing\> hrm i'm stuck in gran turismo 6
48:11 <Nothing\> i've got this souped up viper that somehow outperforms a lamborghini aventador
48:23 <Nothing\> got it to max out at 470km/h
49:04 <Nothing\> which in reality, i think if any car with aluminimium or steel wheels is never going to reach those speeds. The wheels would just rip themselves apart from the G forces
49:56 <Nothing\> lol it also produces something like 1100hp

00:37 <Nothing\> cool, simon whistler made a video on prions
01:08 <Nothing\> i think i actually asked him to look into that as a future topic a while back, but it coulda been a medical channel i asked and this could be coincidence. But either way i'm happy to see this.

07:38 <Nothing\> sorry i didn't greet you earlier. Trying to multitask.
08:00 <Nothing\> i'm just not as good at multitasking as i was when i was 20
09:41 <Nothing\> huh i didn't know i had discrete darlington transistors

11:15 <Kuschelpony> Hello Nothing
11:27 <Kuschelpony> im having dinenr right now next to the laptop so ansdwers are slow
24:00 <Nothing\> hey no worries
24:13 <Nothing\> hope it's a tasty dinner
24:26 <Nothing\> i'm just waiting for the cat groomer to get here so my kitty can get a hair cut
24:46 <Nothing\> he's got a bunch of matted spots on his back where he can't reach cuz he's too big
25:06 <Nothing\> i don't think he's too fat, i think it's just the fact that he's over 3.5 feet long
26:20 <Nothing\> the vet said he's only 1lb overweight, which i worked out would be equivalent to 10lbs overweight in an adolescent human. Which really isn't that much.
26:51 <Nothing\> and here she's telling me to cut back his food by 1/3 and all this stuff. I managed it just fine by cutting out the cat treats and just playing with him more
27:10 <Nothing\> if my kid was 10lbs overweight i wouldn't very well cut out his lunches

16:15 <Nothing\> i was just thinking, i just connect 2 of these discrete darlington transistors to make a sort of darlington quad
16:47 <Nothing\> with a gain of 100 million, apparently lol
18:23 <Nothing\> i still don't get how they can have useful transistors with a gain of like 20,000 where op amps are said to be useless in an open loop because of the unwieldy gain
20:27 <DHess_US> It isn't the same thing. You don't see a lot of darlington pairs in operational amplifier
21:01 <DHess_US> wire up a darlington as a common emitter amplifier with no feedback and you will have the same problem.
24:31 <DHess_US> I do know of some examples of Darlington common emitter amplifiers but they use series feedback to make a transconductance output.
24:51 <DHess_US> They used to be common in curve tracers before good MOSFETs.

11:39 <jaymacks> Nah, he hulked that door. Pizza hangry.
11:57 <jaymacks> No exposed hooks.
16:24 <DHess_US> The hooks moved back into the frame. Oven doors are suppose to do that.
16:56 <DHess_US> It is for easy cleaning.
17:13 <DHess_US> The door is held onto the hooks just by weight.
