00:28:01 <T3sl4> Halcyon!
00:29:16 * Ampera pets T3sl4
00:29:31 <T3sl4> ohai Ampera
00:29:35 <T3sl4> what's up?
00:30:10 <Ampera> had a nice fever last night
00:30:19 <T3sl4> nice
00:30:22 <Ampera> always cool to see 100 on a thermometer
00:30:36 <T3sl4> i always figured you were hot
00:31:09 <Ampera> Just like anyone, drugs have since reversed that status.
00:31:28 <T3sl4> aw
00:31:35 <Ampera> presently measuring 94F oral
00:31:49 <Ampera> so now I'm cool bro
00:32:09 * T3sl4 sticks a cucumber in Ampera
00:32:20 <T3sl4> redundant, i know
00:33:41 <T3sl4> not even sure when the last bad cold/flu i had was
00:34:04 <T3sl4> the one i remember most was, it was the week or two before easter like 2008 or something
00:34:08 <steve30> I've had something resembling a cold this year, but it wasn't anything bad
00:34:08 <Ampera> This is the first time I've been notably sick in over 2 years.
00:34:20 <T3sl4> i was in bed all day, but never had a fever surprisingly. odd
00:34:50 <Ampera> I doubt this was COVID, as I had no respiratory problems of any sort, and everyone in the household is vaccinated and also got it just as bad or worse
00:34:59 <steve30> I used to be badly affected by colds as my nose would block very easily, but since I had my septum straightened out I seldom get a blocked nose any more, and thus I don't suffer from colds as much.
00:35:08 <Ampera> It probably was just a severe cold
00:35:18 <T3sl4> yeah
00:35:40 <Ampera> It started with a store throat, because it's the one symptom I hate the most, so of course it would
00:35:59 <T3sl4> sore something, anyway
00:36:07 <Ampera> then it just started with a general mucous fireworks show and congestion that makes driving through Manhattan look easy.
00:36:21 <Ampera> but, it's pretty much over now.
00:36:35 <Ampera> Last night was the height of it.
00:36:40 * T3sl4 hugs Ampera, serves a nice hot bowl of soup
00:37:01 <Ampera> Haven't eaten since Saturday, so I'm thinking I'm gonna grill some chicken thighs after work
00:37:06 <K> hot bawls
00:37:09 <Ampera> haven't used my new grill for a few weeks
00:37:13 <T3sl4> K pls
00:37:22 * steve30 is having sausages today
00:37:32 <Ampera> K just reminded me that I sort of want potatoes with the chicken, but I'd have to go get some
00:37:48 <T3sl4> potay toes
00:37:59 <K> potatoes be good.
00:38:04 <K> real goood.
00:38:06 <Ampera> I could do with a trip to BJ's I suppose, but I'll probably just have rice.
00:38:09 * T3sl4 potatos K

04:49:23 <T3sl4> no i mean i don't care
04:49:57 <T3sl4> but nothing else splits huge masses of users, and it's a dedicated text protocol, like, who ever thought that would take up enough bandwidth to need a distributed solution
04:50:49 <jaymacks> Distributed because nuke-proof, not load-balancing.
04:51:27 Quit: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
04:52:29 <jaymacks> I'd rather have a nuke-proof split than AWS taking out several services hosted on the east coast every other week.
04:53:21 <T3sl4> i mean, my server doesn't split.. nor does it go down with aws
04:53:31 <T3sl4> it goes down on its own, but y'know :P

06:26:51 <Nothing\> ahoy ahoy
06:27:18 <Nothing\> ugh man that stomach pain that was bugging me for liek 2 months before is coming back
06:27:21 <rust_collector> aha HA!
06:27:31 <Nothing\> thankfully i figured out what causes it so i can at least mitigate it
06:27:48 <Nothing\> rust_collector, you ever see the movie scrooged, with bill murray?
06:27:52 <Nothing\> 1988
06:27:58 <rust_collector> hmm, not sure?
06:28:29 <Nothing\> it's a good movie actually, a modern take on the classic where "scrooge" is the executive for a TV station that's bastardizing christmas to make a profit
06:28:46 <DHess_US> Well, there's your problem, https://i.ibb.co/mJvVCj7/Broken-Spring.jpg
06:28:52 <rust_collector> I am horrible when it comes to remembering what movies are called, and what they are. some times I can watch half a movie, before figuring out that i have seen it
06:28:52 <Nothing\> and he's a general miserly bastard then the ghosts come etc you know the whole bit
06:28:58 <Nothing\> but with a bill murray twist
06:29:21 <Nothing\> actually he plays the scrooge character great because he gives it that sarcastic sort of passive aggressive tone that only bill murray can do
06:29:33 <Nothing\> not really passive aggressive, i can't put my finger on how to articulate it
06:29:39 <Nothing\> basically like his character in groundhog day
06:29:48 <Nothing\> the antihero
06:30:55 <Nothing\> oh ffs
06:31:03 <Nothing\> my disability payment was conveniently moved back a day
06:31:18 <Nothing\> god forbid i should actulaly be counting on that for something like rent, or bills, huh
06:31:38 <Nothing\> lucky for me you can still get by on $5 a week according to some octogenarian politicians
06:35:21 <Nothing\> hey, i got a question for you guys, real suited for you EE types
06:35:25 <Nothing\> do whales lactate?
06:35:32 <Nothing\> like, do they have teets?
06:35:37 <Nothing\> or nipples?
06:35:59 <Nothing\> i've never seen a nipple on a whale, and you'd think having such large, smooth bodies a nipple would be pretty obvious
06:36:06 <Nothing\> or even a bellybutton
06:36:36 <rust_collector> https://www.discoverwildlife.com/animal-facts/marine-animals/how-do-whales-breastfeed-underwater/
06:36:37 <EEVBot> [Title] - How do whales breastfeed underwater? | BBC Wildlife Magazine - Discover Wildlife
06:36:49 <Nothing\> oooh
06:37:02 <Nothing\> i saw an interesting video the other day about the evolution of whales
06:37:39 <Nothing\> how they came from animals who evolved to live on land then said "SCREWT there's nothing interesting up here" and fucked off back to the water
06:38:05 <Nothing\> and actually i recally reading about how the sahara desert is littered with whale bones from when there used to be an ancient ocean covering it
06:38:35 <Nothing\> kinda cool. It reminds me of Breath of the Wild where you find a gigantic skeleton of some sort of sea creature in the middle of a desert
06:39:45 <Nothing\> Seals and sea lions have retractable nipples that tuck inside the body when the baby is not feeding, but animals that are fully restricted to the sea, such as whales and dolphins, have evolved ‘mammary slits’ – special folds of skin that enclose the feeding glands.
06:39:51 <Nothing\> i want retractable nipples!
06:39:58 <rust_collector> I wonder what I am supposed to do at work tomorrow, so I think I will just be there around 8, and see what happens
06:42:30 <Nothing\> just lock yourself in the bathroom with your phone and have a long "poop"
06:42:38 <Nothing\> take the word long as you will
06:45:28 <Nothing\> so apparently the guy did the voice of jimmy pesto on bob's burgers got arrested for, or was at least implicated in the jan 6th insurrection
06:45:39 <Nothing\> so now he's banned from fox and disney. So no more jimmy pesto.
06:45:58 <Nothing\> frankly i didn't really like him anyways. I always thought his rivalry with bob was weak at best
06:46:21 <Nothing\> bart simpson and sideshow bob shared less cumulative screentime and they had a way more fleshed out rivalry
06:46:31 <rust_collector> ah yes, mmhmmm mmhmmm right yes
06:46:58 <Nothing\> bob's burgers it was just like "hey i have a restaurant. Hey, you have a restaurant. Hey, your restaurant's different from my restaurant. I don't like you"
06:47:16 <Nothing\> rust_collector, ahh thank you for keeping me in familiar conversation territory
06:47:36 <rust_collector> I just have no idea about the stuff you are talking about, lol
06:47:44 <Nothing\> yeah i figured as much
06:47:50 <Nothing\> nobody ever does
06:47:54 <Nothing\> most especially me
06:48:17 <Nothing\> rust_collector, did i tell you i'm starting to taper off methadone finally?
06:48:20 <rust_collector> ok, I do know sideshow bob
06:48:34 <Nothing\> rust_collector, who doesn't. Besides millenials.
06:48:41 <Nothing\> i mean, millenials only know google
06:48:45 <Nothing\> and wiki
06:49:49 <rust_collector> I am pretty happy about being born just before that
06:50:00 <Nothing\> i don't know how i feel about it
06:50:20 <Nothing\> on one hand, i've saved my intellect, as well as preserving what little ability i have to cope with real world problems
06:50:47 <Nothing\> as well as having my sense of entitlement growing up as a rich kid absolutely destroyed by real life
06:50:52 <Nothing\> but on the other hand
06:51:00 <Nothing\> kids these days have such cool toys
06:51:33 <rust_collector> I had toy trains, and rocks, and a small tree
06:51:45 <Nothing\> i had pretty much anything i wanted
06:52:19 <Nothing\> makes me wonder if it would be better if i knew ahead of time that i was gonna lose it all
06:52:45 <Nothing\> i think it woulda been better to keep my ignorance about the future otherwise i'd just drive myself crazy worrying about it
06:53:04 <rust_collector> you should go back to that time when you made a time machine, and go have a look
06:53:28 <Nothing\> i think if anybody went back in time say, 20, 30 years they'd get incredibly bored
06:53:56 <Nothing\> lol i remember as a kid lamenting about how terrible life must have been for kids before tv because all i ever did was watch tv and play video games
06:54:15 <Nothing\> i honestly had no idea what kids did before tv, i still don't really.
06:54:17 <Nothing\> work, i guess
06:54:20 <Nothing\> lol
06:54:22 <rust_collector> you could do some badass pranks, if you went back in time
06:54:34 <Nothing\> screw that
06:54:51 <Nothing\> i'd invest in microsoft then assasinate steve jobs before he was born
06:55:04 <Nothing\> actually
06:55:06 <rust_collector> micro-soft
06:55:24 <Nothing\> steve jobs did make PC's available to the typical consumer
06:55:39 <Nothing\> i forgot he actually did some good in the 80's when he was still working with woz
06:55:43 <rust_collector> I agree, kill his mom
06:55:52 <Nothing\> yeah actually he really fucked over woz
06:55:58 <Nothing\> and i bet woz coulda made apple on his own
06:56:14 <Nothing\> mighta been something a bit less healthy
06:56:29 <Nothing\> probably woulda called it cheeseburger instead of apple
06:56:34 <Nothing\> but it woulda been the same company
06:56:54 <rust_collector> but would he be interested in running a company like that? he probably could make "an apple" but
06:57:06 <Nothing\> yeah that's what i'm wondering
06:57:27 <Nothing\> if their friendship sort of gave them each the motivation to see through the tough times, or go through with the project or what have you
06:57:43 <rust_collector> I think he would make one, then a different model, then move on to garage door openers or something
06:57:46 <Nothing\> or maybe they mighta just gone a completely separate direction and not even given serious consideration to CS
06:57:56 <Nothing\> mighta just been a passing hobby for them
06:58:18 <Nothing\> i'm not exactly sure how the dynamics were between them in terms of how the apple I was developed and the company itself
06:58:25 <Nothing\> like, who did what and so on
06:58:52 <rust_collector> as long as someone invented lego, I am ok
06:59:09 <Nothing\> i loved lego, but i never actually made the sets
06:59:20 <Nothing\> actually i only ever remember making boxes
06:59:24 <Nothing\> or box shaped houses
06:59:50 <Nothing\> which is funny cuz when i think about my experiences in shop class, that's all i ever made there too. Just boxes. lol
07:00:03 <Nothing\> i think i must have worked in a box factory in another life
07:00:05 <rust_collector> I assembled the sets, once. then I needed parts from them to make some thing
07:00:16 <Nothing\> lol
07:00:27 <Sigyn> Yeah I'd make forts and spaceships and stuff and have battles
07:00:38 <Nothing\> i was briefly considering shelling out the $300 or so to get one of those Saturn V Lego kits
07:00:41 <Nothing\> or something like that
07:00:57 <Nothing\> but somebody in here was saying those sorts of kits are real tedious unless you're super into legos
07:01:21 <Nothing\> actually what i'd really like is a scale model of a saturn v
07:01:39 <Nothing\> you know, the sort people used to build back in the day. With the cool metallic paints and the glue that got you high.
07:01:58 <Nothing\> you never see those anymore. You don't even see hobby shops anymore. At least I don't.
07:02:10 <Sigyn> They are very rare
07:02:15 <Nothing\> shit i remember when we had an arcade, and a hobby shop, and a slot car... racing place?
07:02:38 <Nothing\> Sigyn, what they should do is have a hobby shop type kiosk in internet gaming cafes
07:02:56 <Nothing\> it seems internet gamers would be the sort that would build models and be into stuff like that
07:03:11 <Nothing\> unless it's more a case that they WOULD be like that if not for video games
07:05:03 <Nothing\> my older brother was always into stuff like that. Not D&D so much, but he played this board game called Axes and Allies a lot that was really heavily strategy based. He built and raced slot cars. Built models. Fiddle farted on his C64. Stuff a typical 80s/early 90's kid would do
07:05:30 <Nothing\> unfortunately for me, i was born in 85 so i was a bit too young for that stuff and by the time i was old enough to get into it, it wasn't in anymore
07:05:45 <Nothing\> all the arcades had closed in this city by 2000. All 2 of them.
07:07:00 <Nothing\> Actually we had an "arcade" here before covid, but it was more like a casino for children where the games gave out tickets you could exchange 500 for a pencil eraser or some crap like that. You know the type.
07:07:52 <Nothing\> but it was literally built like a casino. No clocks. No windows or natural lighting. No way to tell what time of day it was. Unusually cold and refreshing air.
07:08:13 <Nothing\> i'm glad the place closed down
07:08:27 <Nothing\> i took my niece there once with $20. It was gone in literally 5 minutes
07:08:51 <Nothing\> a $20 actually lasted me longer in a real casino
07:09:29 <Nothing\> Sigyn, i'd imagine all of the hobby stuff's moved online now
07:09:44 <Nothing\> it doesn't seem like the best type of business to dedicate a brick and mortar store to
07:10:05 <Nothing\> oh yeah lol somebody tried opening up a video rental store here a year or two ago
07:10:19 <Nothing\> it closed up within a few months. Now it's a cannabis dispensary lol.
07:12:02 <Nothing\> i'd be interested to see what the government gets from cannabis taxes next year
07:12:24 <Nothing\> i'm not even sure what the rate is. I just know I buy something that's $30 and end up paying $45

07:41:40 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera
07:41:44 * Nothing\ hugs electrohead
07:41:46 <Nothing\> heya guys
07:41:55 <Nothing\> sorry, i was pooping my brains out lol
07:42:02 <Ampera> I think you're full of shit
07:42:21 <Nothing\> i guess cutting back on my methadone's working too good. But as long as it's still solid and not too painful i'm happy about it
07:42:31 <Nothing\> Ampera, that's what my dad used to tell me
07:42:40 <Nothing\> "go sit on the toilet. You're full of shit"
07:42:52 <Nothing\> he also called my the n word with a hard R more than once
07:43:04 <Nothing\> lol i love using that phrase "a hard R"
07:43:11 <Ampera> nerd?
07:43:19 <Nothing\> close enough
07:43:28 <Nothing\> holy crap my toe is itchy
07:43:38 <Ampera> if your toe betrays you, cut it off
07:43:52 * Ampera hands Nothing\ a jackknife
07:43:56 <Nothing\> i always heard that wounds get itchy because the skin's being pulled but i thought that was a load of crap
07:44:19 <Nothing\> and the fact that my healing broken bone is itchy just blows that whole theory right out of the water now
07:44:28 <Nothing\> it's not like the skin's being stretched inside my toe
07:44:39 <Nothing\> it's just crazy itchy
07:45:12 <Nothing\> that's gotta be one of the most satisfying feelings though. Scratching an itchy healing wound.
07:45:25 <rust_collector> not on a bone
07:45:37 <Nothing\> lol yeah no this hurts to scratch
07:45:50 <Nothing\> but it's a good sorta hurt, like rubbing a knot out of a muscle
07:46:16 <Nothing\> i'm just paranoid about hurting it again if i'm too aggressive
07:46:47 <Nothing\> Ampera, honestly though if my toe were injured more badly i would demand it be amputated
07:47:35 <Nothing\> one of the guys at the dispensary was telling me at his old job a 2 ton sheet of metal slipped off a forklift and landed on his pinky toe (dunno why he wasn't wearing steel toed boots but oh well)
07:47:54 <Nothing\> but he said it pretty much demolished the toe, but there was nothing they could do but let it heal
07:48:09 <Nothing\> though now that i say the story "aloud" it sounds a bit suspicious, or at least exaggerated
07:48:23 <rust_collector> steel toes do not save you from everything
07:48:39 <Nothing\> for one thing if any part of your body was crushed that badly, you'd get crush syndrome
07:48:53 <Nothing\> where all of the damaged cells overwhelm the kidneys and they shut down
07:49:16 <Nothing\> though that's usually with larger parts. Like leg muscles are a big one.
07:49:18 <rust_collector> uhm, it was his toe, right?
07:49:41 <Nothing\> rust_collector, yeah so, pretty much the absolute smallest extremity you could injury
07:49:50 <rust_collector> yea
07:49:55 <Nothing\> ie, not a lot of tissue to overwhelm the kidneys
07:50:34 <rust_collector> even if it was a huge part, he could be lucky, and not get weird syndrome...
07:50:37 <Nothing\> but i've heard that in cases where steel toed boots fail, it usually results in at least a partial amputation of the toes
07:50:53 <Nothing\> but that was probably more common when they were actually made of steel
07:51:07 <Nothing\> i think they're polycarbonate now or something aren't they
07:51:13 <Nothing\> some sortof plastic
07:51:18 <rust_collector> most of the time, you drop things on top of your foot, not very often on your toes. well, in my experience
07:51:31 <rust_collector> yeah, kevlar
07:51:42 <Nothing\> kevlar isn't very rigid
07:51:50 <Nothing\> not on its own anyway
07:52:09 <Nothing\> i don't think it's very effective against blunt force either
07:52:10 <rust_collector> it is
07:52:30 <Nothing\> rust_collector, i just picture the inside of a vest with all of the kevlar fibers
07:52:40 <rust_collector> if the army uses it in helmets people shoot at, they have to do ok?
07:52:42 <Nothing\> i mean everybody's seen a bullet proof vest that's caught a bullet at some point
07:53:01 <rust_collector> oh, well, they are like fiber glass, just without glass
07:53:06 <Nothing\> rust_collector, i was under the impression the helmets sandwiched the kevlar between steel, or some other metal
07:53:13 <Nothing\> or maybe a rigid polymer
07:53:16 <Nothing\> i'm not sure
07:53:17 <rust_collector> yep
07:53:43 <Nothing\> yah so it's not the kevlar that's rigid, it's just on a rigid substrate
07:54:08 <Nothing\> i guess that's like carbon fiber
07:54:12 <rust_collector> it makes things rigid, when you glue them together in all directions, lol
07:54:18 <Nothing\> it's not initially rigid, is it?
07:54:19 <rust_collector> yeah, sort of the same idea
07:54:29 <rust_collector> I dunno?
07:54:31 <Nothing\> i have no idea how the process of applying it works, but i've seen it
07:54:39 <Nothing\> it actually looks really cool
07:55:03 <rust_collector> it just works, and that if you do smash your plastic toed boots, you can at least get the boot off
07:55:08 <Nothing\> it's like a liquid with the carbon fiber floating on top, with the pattern on it of whatever you're gonna put on it
07:55:28 <Nothing\> and you just sorta dip whatever you wanna coat into it carefully to evenly apply the coating, i guess
07:55:38 <Nothing\> at least that's what it looked like they were doing
07:55:54 <Nothing\> or there's that semi-viral video of the guy coating his hand

09:11:52 <Nothing\> do you really need to incorporate an electrically accurate oscilloscope probe into designs?
09:12:19 <rust_collector> no, as long as you supply pizza, it is ok
09:14:44 <Nothing\> actually, i do recall once using a DMM to probe the voltage between the base and VCC on a BJT acting as a switch for an LED and the gain was high enough that enough current passed to light up the LED, despite the high impedance of the DMM
09:15:10 <Nothing\> or rather it was enough current to put turn on the transistor
09:15:37 <Nothing\> but i mean, i can light an LED putting my body in series with a 9v battery and a white led
09:15:44 <Nothing\> it's super dim, but visible
09:16:14 <Nothing\> interestingly it doesn't seem to light much more brightly using 4 or 5 9vs
09:16:55 <Nothing\> but as i recall with just 1 9v i was getting maybe 2 or 3nanoamps through the led
09:20:36 <electrohead> Ampera: I'm packing right now, my first trip down will be this weekend
09:21:35 <Ampera> electrohead, so that sounds like you gotta place picked out already

10:53:46 <Nothing\> oh hey
10:54:17 <Nothing\> i read an interesting article the other day about some scientists who claim to have quantum entangled a tardigrade with 2 qubits
10:54:49 <Nothing\> i guess the claim's been met with a lot of skepticism. But they've apparently quantum entangled bacteria before.
10:55:08 <Nothing\> either way it breaks the record for the lowest temperature and highest pressure survived by a tardigrade

10:55:58 <Nothing\> and looking at them up close, i dunno how anyone can consider those things cute. Frankly i think they look terrifying
10:56:13 <Nothing\> if you saw a 5 foot waterbear you'd probably mess yourself
10:56:36 <Nothing\> that is, if seeing such a thing wasn't unheard of.
10:57:33 <Nothing\> actually even this site is a bit ehhhh

13:15:38 * Nothing\ power hugs Ampera
13:15:53 <Nothing\> i'm doing great. I just had a nap and i feel nice and refreshed.
13:16:00 <Nothing\> how bout you?
13:16:10 <Ampera> I am sitting on the toilet
13:16:21 <Nothing\> heh i was just gonna say my stomach's a tad crampy
13:17:21 <Nothing\> i forgot how fun it's gonna be while by bowels learn to work properly again while i taper off of the methadone
13:17:34 <Nothing\> i wonder if your bowel muscles can atrophe or something like that
13:18:44 <Nothing\> maybe not in a case of opiate use where there's some bowel movement, but it's just been slowed. But What about somebody who's in a coma (low metabolic state) being fed parenterally through a feeding tube.
13:19:41 <Nothing\> actually i don't even know how that works because i dunno about you but i've had to make a conscious effort to have every bowel movement i ever remember having
13:20:04 <Nothing\> but if they're being fed, they must have to excrete something
13:21:53 <Nothing\> actually i remember hearing about how when a patient's taken off of ventilation, i.e. they're no longer in a chemically induced coma cuz being conscious on a ventilator would be torture, plus the body uses less o2 when comatose
13:22:27 <Nothing\> but i heard about how they have to basically be rehabilitated so their bodies can learn to function on their own again
13:22:47 <Nothing\> the lung muscles become atrophied and have to be built back up in steps, for examples
13:23:18 <Nothing\> i'd imagine there's a similar process with the gut getting used to solid (or any) food for the first time in weeks, or months
13:24:09 <Nothing\> it's interesting but thinking about is making me have to poop but not enough to actually make a poop

13:26:02 <Nothing\> and then the news of the world robot on his shirt is the icing on the cake
13:28:27 <Nothing\> i was just thinking, i should really post on the forum and ask about my microcontroller conundrum, cuz i still have no clue which PIC chip to get. I've made my mind up about the ATTiny85, but I'm completely lost when it comes to pics
13:30:22 <Nothing\> or whether i should get a pickit to program it instead of using a TL866
13:31:03 <Nothing\> i'd imagine i would still need some sort of assembler to convert my assembly into binary instructions

18:56:52 <Halcyon> Good evening tartlets
19:00:35 <rust_collector> morning....you
19:03:59 <Halcyon> How are you rusticles?
19:17:57 * Halcyon sneaks up on T3sl4
19:23:36 <rust_collector> I am wondering why I got up at 7.30, then did not go back to bed
19:23:47 <rust_collector> because I am not going to work today
19:29:37 <steve30> hi
19:30:05 <Halcyon> Did you set an alarm?
19:30:08 <Halcyon> Hey Steve :)
19:31:46 * steve30 pounces onto Halcyon
19:31:51 <Halcyon> :D
19:32:07 <Halcyon> I'm watching fried chicken burger recipes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5ZezBGitVs

19:32:16 <Halcyon> I like the idea of the sauce, I'm going to try this
19:36:20 <steve30> Halcyon, turns out Sergeant eBay got arrested a couple of months ago for impersonating a police officer :p
19:37:30 <Halcyon> Shock horror
19:38:49 <steve30> Its weird, because on that occasion he wasn't wearing a police uniform. He was wearing something vaguely like what private security would wear. A couple of months earlier, when I was with him, he was /actually/ wearing a police uniform and /didn't/ get arrested.
19:39:10 <rust_collector> I did set an alarm, I was thinking I should go to work around 8, as boss has not put me on any particular shift today, so I got up, and called the office, and they had the people they need, so... here I am
19:39:25 <rust_collector> Sergeant eBay ??
19:39:30 <Halcyon> They might have had enough of his bollocks and had an outstanding warrant?
19:43:13 <steve30> rust_collector, Sergeant eBay is someone who lives not too far from me who sometimes likes dressing up as a policeman and video recording his encounters with people. Naturally, Acting Sergeant Halcyon doesn't approve :).
19:43:52 <Halcyon> Naturally
19:43:53 <rust_collector> heh, that sounds like an interesting guy, in a way
19:44:24 <Halcyon> Although I'd have to argue, I don't think "society" in general would approve. Imagine being like the US where you have these sorts of cowboys running around everywhere?
19:46:47 <Halcyon> The worst I've seen is that nutjob Jeremy Dewitt (Dimwit) in the US

19:47:57 <Halcyon> Oh they would be laughing at him
19:48:10 <Halcyon> But at some point these types cross the line
19:48:44 <Halcyon> Anyways, I'll be back soon
19:48:48 <rust_collector> he did find a weird name...
