58:04 * electrohead adds hot sauce
32:09 Quit: LB6MI ([email protected]) Quit: Leaving
35:37 <jaymacks> Damn, I should have done that. Especially for the hashbrown patty.
37:09 <jaymacks> Biscuits not so much - used garlic butter there so only a dab insofar to not overtake the flavours.
38:01 <jaymacks> Coffee OTOH, can be drenched in hot sauce.
39:52 <electrohead> lol
40:04 <electrohead> yeah man, hot sauce goes on almost everything, for me

47:58 <electrohead> hot sauce in coffee?
48:00 <electrohead> eh
48:03 <electrohead> lol
48:56 <jaymacks> It's....reminiscent of the reaper chocolate.
49:58 <electrohead> I bet hahaha
50:16 <jaymacks> Well, I used to add a few squares of reaper chocolate my morning coffee. For this, it's a few shakes of cayenne and coconut oil.
50:40 <jaymacks> Plus the basic millk and sweetener
51:23 <electrohead> I do wonder how that tastes
51:37 <jaymacks> I recommend it, especially if you've done bulletproof coffee before.
01:38 <jaymacks> Also recommended for the steve30

09:56 <rust_collector> wow, there is nothing... how was your vacation?
11:50 <Nothing\> painful
11:53 <Nothing\> also look at this
11:55 <Nothing\> https://bluepearlorgans.com/shop/
11:56 <EEVBot> [Title] - Shop - Human Organs For Sale
12:05 <Nothing\> it's a fucking website that sells human organs to americans
12:21 <rust_collector> yeah.
13:11 <Nothing\> i honest to god thought it was a joke or at least some awareness site to create awareness about how rich people get transplants more than poor people because they can afford to buy organs. Or about some illegal black market organ trafficking scheme in Africa. But it's serious.
13:56 <Nothing\> And I find it even more sick that you can literally add these organs to your shopping cart just like you were shopping on amazon. Really why on Earth would anybody need more than 1 heart.
14:05 <Nothing\> is the shopping cart even necessary?
14:09 <Nothing\> how is this legal?
14:19 <Nothing\> and perhaps most important of all
14:25 <Nothing\> WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK?
14:31 <rust_collector> why would it be illegal?
14:49 <Nothing\> because it creates incentive to harvest organs illegally
14:56 <rust_collector> so?
15:00 <Nothing\> which as silly and movie-ish as it sounds is a real thing
15:05 <Nothing\> rust_collector, eh
15:07 <Nothing\> nm
15:22 <Nothing\> so on a semi related note, i found this really awesome picture
15:23 <Nothing\> one sec
15:36 <rust_collector> anything you can sell... people will try to sell in some way
16:08 <Nothing\> here it is
16:19 <Nothing\> so when they remove a heart for transplant now
16:34 <Nothing\> instead of putting it on ice the new thing is to literally put it on a life support machine
16:38 <Nothing\> https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/77/Transport_bij%C3%ADc%C3%ADho_srdce.jpg
16:38 <EEVBot> [Title] - Wikimedia Error
16:54 <rust_collector> makes sense, I think
17:40 <Nothing\> they keep blood pumping through it, by its own pumping even. They keep it pumping with electrical signals. You can even see the wires going into parts of the heart for the SA node and the AV node where the electrical activity of the heart comes from
17:45 <Nothing\> rust_collector, absolutely
18:05 <Nothing\> rust_collector, that's exactly what the first person to receive one of these transplants said when he was asked why he did it
18:35 <Nothing\> that it's common sense that if you keep the organ alive it's going to do better than if you put it into a suspended state on ace and then revived it
19:04 <Nothing\> though they do still have to sort of revive the heart in this case. But only from what would be considered an "uncoscious" state, i guess.
20:05 <Nothing\> inasmuch as before implanting the heart into the recipient, the heart is given some drugs to "sedate" it or "put it to sleep" or something like that. You know how vague media is with anything technical
20:31 <Nothing\> but i'm not sure that it ever actually stops beating
20:52 <Nothing\> and it's definitely never stopped being perfused with oxygenated blood.
21:12 <rust_collector> it has to be really annoying to try to sew it into place, if it is bouncing around
21:23 <Nothing\> exactly lol
22:23 <Nothing\> that's why during a lot of open heart surgeries, depending on the type, they'll have to stop your heart and put your body on a machine for that very reason
24:35 <Nothing\> actually it's not just the heart. If you've ever looked into the cocktail of drugs (or types of drugs) they typical administer for general anesthesia. One of them is a paralytic agent based on pancuronium. But the reason they give you a paralytic is to stop any involuntary movements while you're unconscious
38:09 <Nothing\> so, my ecig keeps leaking like a sieve for some reason
38:49 <Nothing\> it's an... it looks like the name says voopoo but i'm pretty sure it says vodpod argus. Not a bad little unit besides being so damn leaky.
39:39 * Ampera hugs Nothing\ 
39:56 <Nothing\> But I'm wondering if it's so leaky because I started off using it with 70/30 PG/VG so my juice was extremely thin and watery. But the store I go to doesn't carry any 50/50 so I wound up getting this stuff that's 20/80 PG/VG which seems awfully thick
40:03 * Nothing\ power hugs Ampera <3
40:04 <rust_collector> I probably should try the vape crap again, but I really do not like it
40:08 <Nothing\> heya buddy! how ya doing?
40:18 <Ampera> My new car's at the dealer, got the insurance, and the loan approved for it
40:20 <Nothing\> rust_collector, do you smoke or use nicotine in any other way?
40:26 <Ampera> just need to wait for my CU to get me the details, and then I can go pick it up
40:27 <Nothing\> Ampera, super!
40:31 <Nothing\> congrats, dude
40:31 <rust_collector> yep, I smoke way too much
41:15 <Nothing\> rust_collector, yeah i was there too. I smoked cigs for over 20 years about a pack a day. give or take. Obviously it varies over such a long period but it seemed to gravitate around .5 to 1 pack a day
41:19 <rust_collector> I can't wait for Ampera to get into that thing, then we will see him with a baseball cap on sideways, and vaping too
41:30 <Nothing\> but smoking pot on top of that absolutely destroyed my lungs
41:48 <rust_collector> I roll my own, i do not like premade cigarettes
41:49 <Nothing\> i don't care what anyone says, smoking pot is WAY harder on your lungs than cigarettes.
41:54 <Ampera> one hand on the wheel, and one hand on the handbrake, rust_collector
42:09 <Nothing\> rust_collector, i have a rolling machine but i can't even be bothered to use it for weed
42:14 <rust_collector> they still have a handbrake?
42:37 <Ampera> I think so
42:43 <rust_collector> perfect
43:11 <rust_collector> one more reason to not hate subarus much
43:12 <Ampera> yes, pictures seem to say so
43:30 <Nothing\> ideally if i smoke weed i'd use a pipe. But it has to be a clean pipe, which means buying a new pipe for $10-$20 because pipes get dirty fast and they're such a bitch to clean and i'm lazy so i just treat them like disposable objects and trhow them away after a month or so and get an new one lol
43:41 <Nothing\> but other than pipes, i use the rolling machine
44:11 <rust_collector> I have fingers, they are not great, but they can still roll
44:14 <Nothing\> it's made life soooo much easier re: rolling. I avoided them for literally decades because they confused me. But all it took to figure it out was a 5 minute youtube video hahaha.
44:27 <Nothing\> rust_collector, i could never roll very good. Try as i might
45:55 <Nothing\> and i dunno if this is a problem with home rolled cigarettes. But with weed if it's not packed evenly and you have air pockets inside or areas where it's packed more dense than the rest of it you get what we in canada call boating, or canoeing, where half of the cigarette burns down instantly, while the other half still remains, almost entirely unburnt
46:15 <Nothing\> half meaning like, the side of it
46:25 <Nothing\> if that makes sense
46:31 <rust_collector> yeah
46:55 <rust_collector> it does not happen often, but I also do not have anything funny in there
47:32 <Nothing\> but yeah, that means packing it evenly is important with joints. So rolling machines really hepeld a lot.
48:04 <Nothing\> plus the whole process of rolling a cigarette literally takes me more than 5 minutes. Which if i'm rolling more than one gets to be incredibly tedious and long
48:15 <rust_collector> heh
48:35 <Nothing\> lol usually what i'll do is try to roll it normally, but end up spilling half of the material and i finish rolling it
48:59 <rust_collector> I probably use about 20 seconds. I dunno?
49:07 <Nothing\> then i pack the material back into the cigarette a little bit at a time using something pokey like the inside tube from a pen or the end of a shoelace
50:16 <Nothing\> i should play a game, i'm falling asleep
50:56 <Nothing\> i went to bed at like 10pm last night, but i woke up at 2am with my usual stomach pains that kept me up until 6am when i finally decided to take one of my anxiety pills to help me fall asleep despite the pain
51:31 <Nothing\> as much as it sucks/sucked though, it's the first time the pain's come back in almost a month. So I had a good reprieve
51:36 <Nothing\> one sec, laundry gathering
51:50 <Nothing\> also, i know what's causing the pain now
53:04 <Nothing\> so i can avoid it. Or try to anyways, since it's a medication so it's necessary. Ironically it's one of my laxatives. But it just makes my entire bowels feel like their on fire and they cramp up real bad like if i had food poisoning, but thankfully not THAT painful. Though it was for a while. Before I figure out the cause and how to mitigate it.
53:41 <Nothing\> thankfully i just discovered how effective a ot of fiber can be for that though so i think i may be able to stop having to torture myself constantly

56:23 <Nothing\> hrm what to play what to play
56:37 <rust_collector> tetris!
56:39 <Nothing\> maybe mario odyssey or mario 3d world on my switch i think
56:47 <Nothing\> actually that's not a bad idea
57:06 <Nothing\> tetris is always great for waking me up and i'm good enough that i can make a marathon game last a good 10-20 minutes
57:18 <rust_collector> I know. it is a good game. and you can just play it for as long as you want, then quit
57:28 <Nothing\> i forget my record in terms of most lines but i know it was over 250 at one point but i'm not that good anymore
57:39 <rust_collector> none of this all night game thing
57:45 <rust_collector> unless you want to
58:12 <Nothing\> it also depends on the version. There are so many different versions of tetris and they all of have different physics and even different gameplay mechanics. Like the versions that let you hold a piece.
58:46 <Nothing\> you can hold the piece until you need it later. Or if you get a crap piece you don't need you can swap it with what you're holding and vice versa
59:33 <Nothing\> and i know on the original gameboy version there's a trick where if you move a piece over to the left wall and rotate it over and over again, the piece will "climb" back up the wall
59:43 <Nothing\> though that's not by design.
00:44 <Nothing\> actually i have this really fun online multiplayer tetris game on my switch called Tetris 99 where as the name implies, you play a vs mode against 99 other players
01:05 <Nothing\> or maybe it's 99 players total, including you. I'm not sure.
03:12 <Nothing\> Its just sucks cuz you have to pay like $10 a month for a subscription to use online anything in any games on the Switch. But that $10 covers every game on the system with online multiplayer so at least there's nothing extra after that you've gotta pay. I'm not sure how the onnline play service works on the ps4 (or is it 5 now?) and the XBONE
03:34 <Nothing\> and yeah i'm gonna try to get everyone calling it the XBONE
03:49 <rust_collector> you should use the old gameboy. it is for playing games, and that is it
04:38 <Nothing\> I'd love to get a hold of an expendible gameboy just so i can tear it down, figure it out and circuitbend it to my heart's content
04:58 <Nothing\> actually i'd love to get any expendible toy to circuitbend
05:25 <rust_collector> If I got it right, they are not easy to do much with. Well, without replacing everything.
05:25 <Nothing\> i know i've got a little kid's keyboard i bought my daughter somewhere in my junk downstairs but damned if i know where
05:39 <Nothing\> actually i think i have a leapfrog console somewhere too now that i think aboutit
06:02 <Nothing\> rust_collector, tbh a part of me felt like that was probably the case
06:32 <Nothing\> rust_collector, one thing i'd LOVE to do is get an original NES and make my own peripheral for it
06:44 <rust_collector> mmkay
06:53 <rust_collector> that sounds more doable
08:11 <Nothing\> yeah, all the controller was was literally 8 buttons that controlled the inputs on shift register and every so often the cpu would strobe the chip and the data in it would be latched into memory
10:37 <Nothing\> and i've already made a point of getting 10 or 20 of the exact same chip the controllers used, a 4021 i think it was. Pretty common and cheap either way. I could just throw something togethr on a breadboard for all the system cares
12:09 <Nothing\> lol i keep nodding off and every time i do, my cat meows at me because she wants me to pay attention to her
12:27 <Nothing\> lol she even keeps meowing at me any time i look at the computer screen or type on the keyboard
12:41 <Nothing\> but man she makes a good alarm clock like that
13:07 <rust_collector> I guess it is better than dropping a plate when you fall asleep

14:43 <EEVBot> [Title] - Sleep technique used by Salvador Dalí really works | Live Science
15:09 <rust_collector> ok, have fun. I should go sit here and not do anything
15:34 <Nothing\> actually i found this cool ben eater video the other day about ps/2 connectors
16:07 <rust_collector> you are a little bit into special interest sort of things now
16:17 <Nothing\> and it showed how to connect a ps/2 keyboard to a scope and power supply to see the different ascii codes coming out of it in binary along side the clock signal
16:41 <Nothing\> rust_collector, heh i guess i am. I just get into whatever seems interesting
17:19 <Nothing\> plus i do have that 65816 SBC i'd like to make more use of than just making one demo blinkenlights program
19:29 <Nothing\> which, again using a shift register, i can connect the serial data line of a ps/2 keyboard into the input of a SIPO shift register and then output the parallel data into one of the interface chips on the computer
19:37 <Nothing\> of which it has plenty to choose from
20:17 <Nothing\> i could, I dunno, make a program to just display whatever you type initially
20:20 <Nothing\> and go from there
20:29 <Nothing\> but i still have lots of documentation to read
22:56 <rust_collector> I think I will put together one more of this little crap amplifier, and see if it sounds ok, when I have sound in both speakers, lol
23:32 <rust_collector> oh, and add some cooling things to it
32:04 <Nothing\> yeah actually that reminds me i wanted to try building this electret amplifier design i found in a TI app note. I've had 2 different sized electrets for years but i've never had a chance to try them with anything yet. I tried a couple of half hearted attempts at just hooking them up to different single transistor amplifiers i made but it looks like there's a lot more to it than that based on the app note.
33:53 <Nothing\> plus i'm skeptical that the one type of electret i have are even real because they're only about 3mm wide at most. It seems kind of silly to think you could fit an electret into such a tiny design
34:48 Quit: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) EOF from client
34:50 <Nothing\> Maybe a jfet, sure. But not the actual electret. At least not one of any practical quality or a very narrow frequency response lemme measure it with my calipers and see
36:09 <Nothing\> although looking at it, it DOES have a really tiny PCB inside it
38:02 <Nothing\> okay, 4mm wide and 1.5mm thick but still pretty darn tiny
38:35 <Nothing\> lol it has this rubber cover on it that added an extra half mm to it
39:02 <Nothing\> which i don't get cuz without it it look almost just like any other electret with a metal case. Just really tiny.

14:43 <jaymacks> Confusers?

27:26 <Ysjoelfir> I did pay for most of the alcohol, so...
28:44 <rust_collector> yeah, but that was before she made drinks out of it, so she did something last, so now it is your turn again
29:29 <Ysjoelfir> I will repay her later when we go to bed :)
29:47 <rust_collector> mmhmm
29:53 <Ysjoelfir> also, right now I am reinstalling the basically new notebook because a windows update bricked the shitty thing

23:10 <Ysjoelfir> nice, we like confused heads full of electros
24:46 <electrohead> lol
25:31 <electrohead> so, I picked up some lumber today, going to extend the one table in the new lab area, to have a bigger area to work on, and put stuff
25:44 <rust_collector> I wish 555 timers came with loooong legs, like diodes and such
25:53 <electrohead> it's really cool to finally have a house with quite some room, heh
26:01 <electrohead> rust_collector: why long legs for 555's?
26:18 <rust_collector> then I could snip them off, and use them as links
26:45 <rust_collector> be careful with your space, just ask Ysjoelpine how that ends up
27:24 <electrohead> lol
29:14 <electrohead> Ysjoelfir: what kind of cocktails is she making, btw?
29:48 <rust_collector> by the sound of it, one of each
30:06 <jaymax> \o_
30:14 <jaymax> One for everyone?
30:56 <rust_collector> all of us who are there
31:40 <rust_collector> but as this is an "on screen" meeting, Ysjoelfir has to drink them for us
33:46 <electrohead> so, he'll be plastered in the matter of no time
33:48 <electrohead> lol
41:13 <rust_collector> with any luck, he will be passed out and ready for payback any time now
41:27 <electrohead> heh
42:03 <rust_collector> Oh, I mean yes, probably
47:39 <electrohead> came across this link in another channel, on another network - https://github.com/enjoy-digital/colorlite

47:45 <electrohead> I need to buy one of those, now
53:38 <rust_collector> hmm, that sounds like something you would need
55:43 <electrohead> imagine the light show(s) I could do, heh
56:15 <rust_collector> I can do imaginary light shows!

01:30 <rust_collector> arrgh, so I forgot to swap around 2 legs, no wonder this thing does not work
01:56 <rust_collector> oh well
01:59 <electrohead> hrmm?
03:10 <rust_collector> I put together a tiny little amplifier, and copied a prototype I made, but I forgot that I twisted around 2 of the legs on the transistors. so pin 2 and 3 are swapped around
04:05 <rust_collector> speakers on only the premap is not great for music stuff, imo
06:02 <rust_collector> saves energy, I guess
16:51 <electrohead> ahh
16:55 <electrohead> did you fix it yet? :p
17:24 <rust_collector> nah, I found youtube, lol
18:53 <rust_collector> I think I might orient them differently, so I can fit bigger heat sinks. we will see
22:53 <Ysjoelfir> so, what happened in the last..... minutes before I came back?
23:17 <rust_collector> happen... uhm, no
38:48 <electrohead> lol, yeah I found youtube and friends as well, now I'm being a tiny bit lazy
38:53 <electrohead> Ysjoelfir: uhh
38:56 <electrohead> yes?
38:58 <electrohead> lol
39:23 <Ysjoelfir> so yes happened, good.
39:50 <rust_collector> yes, camel, golden earring... lots of things
40:03 <rust_collector> not at that exact time, but they happened

08:14 <rust_collector> uh-huh
08:32 <Ysjoelfir> kiwi licquor, lime, lime juice, green tea, bols blue curacao, vodka and ice

10:54 <Halcyon> electrohead,
11:06 <Ysjoelfir> Mornings Hercion
11:11 <Halcyon> You still using Signal?
11:14 <Ysjoelfir> I am not drunk.
11:19 <Halcyon> I sent you a few messages yesterday
11:21 <Halcyon> Morning Ysjoelfir :)
12:09 <steve30000> hi
12:28 <Halcyon> Hey Steve :)
13:00 <electrohead> I am, however now to think about it, my old phone is still on my trusted/restricted network
13:05 <electrohead> let me switch over to the guest net
13:11 <Halcyon> Yeh it said they hadn't been delivered
13:18 <Halcyon> So I assume maybe the port(s) are blocked
13:51 <Halcyon> One of next doors cats killed a Rosella yesterday :(
14:21 <electrohead> :/
14:34 <Halcyon> And the other day one got a baby possum
14:41 <Halcyon> Fucking cats. I hate them.
15:50 <steve30000> Meow :p
22:50 <Ysjoelfir> so. I nearly finished the cocktail. what should I ask mrs polo now for? Halcyon, help me decide. We have stuff for Hakuna Matata, Green Ireland and Coco Passion.
23:21 <Halcyon> Cosmo :)
23:31 <Halcyon> If you have cranberry juice
23:34 <Ysjoelfir> I don't have that recipe
23:35 <Ysjoelfir> nope
23:42 <Halcyon> Bugger
24:18 <rust_collector> 1 ½ fluid ounces vodka
24:19 <rust_collector> ¼ fluid ounce lime juice
24:19 <rust_collector> ¼ fluid ounce triple sec
24:19 <rust_collector> ¼ fluid ounce cranberry juice
24:19 <rust_collector> 1 cup ice
24:19 <rust_collector> 1 lime wedge for garnish
24:26 <Halcyon> Yummy
24:39 <rust_collector> Per Serving:
24:39 <rust_collector> 131 calories; protein 0.1g; carbohydrates 5.6g; sodium 1.3mg.
24:54 <Halcyon> Healthy :P
24:59 * T3sl4 meows Halcyon
25:06 <Halcyon> Stupid T3sl4
25:41 <Halcyon> That doesn't seem like enough cranberry juice though
25:51 <Halcyon> Granted, I have no idea what a fluid ounce is
26:10 <Halcyon> https://www.taste.com.au/recipes/classic-cosmopolitan/0bed9b4b-9552-42dd-85ca-fad8f8ed84cf
26:37 <Halcyon> It says crushed ice but I just use cubed. I don't normally add ice to the drink after serving.
26:52 <Halcyon> I put the ice in the shaker
27:22 <rust_collector> did you also flush grandma?
27:22 <Ysjoelfir> We have vodka, bols blue curacao, passion fruit, kiwi and coconut licquor, green tea, lemon and lime, and some other stuff.... some rums, some whiskeys.... nothing fancy.
27:40 * T3sl4 hangs out at Ysjoelfir's place

29:36 <Halcyon> I've had sex on a beach
29:39 <Halcyon> Very sandy
29:47 <rust_collector> alone?
29:49 * T3sl4 gives electrohead a white wine spritzer
29:54 <Halcyon> Of course not alone. Hahaha
30:02 <rust_collector> that woudl be extra sandy
30:40 <steve30000> I haven't had sex on a beach, but i have had sex in the middle of a field
32:49 <Halcyon> I wouldn't mind trying a Slow Screw with Ysjoelfir
33:00 <Halcyon> Vodka, orange juice and sloe gin
33:26 <steve30000> I'm sure you'd rather do other kinds of screwing with him
33:31 <Halcyon> *grin*
33:37 <Halcyon> Let's start with the drinks first :P
37:17 <Ysjoelfir> whats slow gin?
37:35 <Halcyon> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sloe_gin
37:36 <EEVBot> [Title] - Sloe gin - Wikipedia
37:37 <jaymax> being too sloshed
37:50 <Halcyon> It's from Steve's country
38:11 <rust_collector> eew!
38:17 <jaymax> I'd have read that as "shoe gin"
38:25 <rust_collector> that sounds cheaper
38:40 <Halcyon> "Red liqeur made with gin and shoes"
38:52 <Halcyon> I guess it's for those with a foot fetish
39:41 <Halcyon> Anyways I'm going to the shops
39:43 <Halcyon> Back soon
40:21 <jaymax> I'm reading the wiki ... so it's a kind of plum. Is this gin basically prune-liquor?
40:59 <jaymax> Liquid Depends-remover perhaps
41:21 Join: arch ([email protected]) to #eevblog
42:58 <T3sl4> i like to get slivovitz from time to time
43:17 <T3sl4> it's made of a slightly different but also normally unpalatable plum, IIRC
43:45 <T3sl4> jaymax: it's distilled, so it's only removing articles of clothing by the tequila mechanism
44:31 <jaymax> As in the urgent-burning shits?
45:00 <Ysjoelfir> Oh, Slivovitz. nice stuff
51:48 <Ysjoelfir> So, I decided for Coco Passion. a double oned
02:08 * Ysjoelfir offers Halcyon and T3sl4 and electrohead some of these https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tX_wOzQYONWpDVRI4XYWDdbeuSNXaAuL/view?usp=sharing
02:26 * Ysjoelfir doesn't offer rust_collector one as its probably to non-alcohol for him :P
03:14 <rust_collector> HEY! I only drink coffee today
03:33 <Ysjoelfir> are you sick?
03:54 <rust_collector> I will be, if you don't stop that soon....
04:01 <Ysjoelfir> XD
04:18 <rust_collector> I think it has been 2 or 3 weeks now
04:47 <Ysjoelfir> I still have 2 bottles of Korn prepared for your package
04:56 <Ysjoelfir> and the cookies from hsn and the palm sperm!
05:19 <rust_collector> heh, have they started to grow into little palm trees yet?
05:45 <rust_collector> I wonder what my palm would think, if I dripped some of that on it
05:51 <Halcyon> That looks nummy Ysjoelfir
08:01 <Ysjoelfir> nope, no sprouting yet. But I used up a bottle of it in some tea alreadt. its... special, but not bad. needs some time to get used to though.
08:12 <Ysjoelfir> Halcyon, it is. its the coco passion thing
08:30 <Halcyon> Ahhh that thing I bought a while ago
09:07 <Ysjoelfir> passion fruit sirup, coconut syrup, lemon juice, vodka and pineapple juice. pretty tasty
09:14 <Halcyon> Yum
09:17 <Halcyon> My kind of beverage
10:37 <electrohead> it probably needs more booze.
10:39 * electrohead nods
12:14 <Halcyon> electrohead is fapping over a pic of my meat I sent him
12:23 <electrohead> totally.
12:25 <electrohead> :p
12:37 <Halcyon> Do you need some more by the way?
13:08 <Halcyon> I just sent them an email asking bout the extra spicy version

59:04 <Halcyon> Something tells me you've actually tried that before
59:14 <electrohead> Not at all, it just appeared in my mind
59:27 <Halcyon> Can you try it now and report back? :P
59:29 <electrohead> So, I typed it, instead of actually trying it
00:03 <electrohead> well technically, I'm out in the country, it's dark out, and I can blame the incident on being "a drunken saturday night", and promise not to do it again, if caught
00:34 * electrohead dies laughing

54:20 <electrohead> lmao
54:22 <electrohead> yeah :P
54:43 <Halcyon> It's when it sticks to the hair that hurts
58:05 <electrohead> that's when you just chug a few high percentage beers, and yank away
59:10 <Halcyon> Cheaper than waxing
00:48 <Ampera> obviously you just burn the hair
01:14 <Halcyon> Apparently we have breath tests for COVID now
01:27 <Halcyon> YAY! No more nose bullshit
04:48 <T3sl4> that's handy

15:37 <Nothing\> who was it... i was reading about someone who died recently and one of their colleagues said they were big on hugging...
15:38 <T3sl4> :)
15:42 <Nothing\> bob saget, that's it
15:54 <steve30000> i've forgotten already, but the label said it was from Aldi
15:54 <Nothing\> which, he's such an underrated comedian
16:16 <T3sl4> steve30000: aldeez nutz ha gotteem
16:26 <Nothing\> most people just think of him on full house, but if people actually saw his stand up they'd know he's the complete opposite of that person he plays
16:43 * steve30000 is a cuddle addict
16:47 <Nothing\> he is raunchy, he's rude, he's vulgar as shit.
17:01 <Nothing\> i mean he's a good guy and all, but his stand up is not what you would expect
17:33 <Nothing\> hey steve30000
17:36 <T3sl4> edgy is ez
17:40 <Nothing\> how you doin'?
17:56 <Nothing\> T3sl4, yeah i was talking to one of the cashiers at the dispensary about this
18:21 <Nothing\> how most comedy these days just banks on simple toilet humour that has no real thought put into it because that's the easy way to get a laugh, why put thought into it?
18:58 <Nothing\> where good comedy either uses toilet humour in a smart way, ie parody like the way beavis and butthead lampooned modern (in the 90's) teenagers
19:25 <Nothing\> while on the outside appearing to just be a couple of stupid kids laughing at stupid things
20:23 <Nothing\> which i guess a lot of it is, but that's not the ultimate message behind it. But if you compare that to King of the Hill, it never used any toilet humour really, and it was so much smarter and more thought out than beavis and butthead because of it
21:12 <Nothing\> i mean sure beavis and butthead was making a statement about the youth in america, but they did it while pandering to them at the same time. Which when you think about it is kinda funny because all of these kinds are watching this show and laughing at it, not realizing it's actually making fun of them lol.
21:58 <Nothing\> so i guess in that way, the show is brilliant. But the actual content isn't exactly the sort of thing that leaves you thinking about anything meaningful like say, watching george carlin's stand up or a classic episode of the simpsons would.
24:15 <Nothing\> so anyways, i've been wanting to get back into 6502/65816 programming so i can actually start making use of this SBC i have. So I'm trying to set up a sort of syllabus for myself of what I need to learn and what materials and documentations i need to learn it from in order to achieve that goal
26:49 Join: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) to #eevblog
27:43 <Nothing\> i figure first and foremost, read the datasheets for the chips, and perhaps for each chip in the chipset on the SBC. Then focus my efforts on understanding the 6502, the ISA, the physical architecture, actually coding for it. Although I'm not sure which area I should focus on first. Whether I should start at the hardware level and work towards learning assembly, or start with assembly and work my way down to the hardwa
27:44 <Nothing\> understanding. OR just learn about both in parallel
28:23 <Nothing\> but in general i'm thinking i should start with the 6502 since the 65816 has a 6502 emulation mode it runs in by default anyways. I can treat it just like a 6502 and start from there.
29:21 <Nothing\> and the 6502 ISA is pretty much the basis for the 65816 ISA so it seems like a pretty sound foundation to start with. Then once I'm comfortable enough with 6502 programming i can move on to 65816 programming.
31:32 <Nothing\> lol it's funny i was looking for a 6502 emulator/simulator for windows the other day. And I actually stumbled across one that was written by a friend of mine from 1999 i knew from the drug chats that i hadn't talked to in about 10 years. So I had to hop on his now CS based IRC server and see how he was doing. Small world
31:41 <T3sl4> i just put beans in a pot so if yall want soup in a couple hours just holla
31:50 <Nothing\> damn straight
31:51 <T3sl4> or preferably, chollah
31:54 <Nothing\> i love me some homemade soup
32:16 <Nothing\> my mom makes the third best home made chicken or turkey soup ever
32:44 <Nothing\> i say third best because first would go to my late great aunt whose soup will ALWAYS be my favourite even though I'll never have it again :(
33:00 <Nothing\> then second of course was my grandmother's soup, same story.
33:21 <Nothing\> but they're all based on the same recipe, it's just the little personalized touches they added that made them stand out from one another
33:43 <Nothing\> and they all have those amazing cream of wheat dumplings i'm sure you've seen me gushing about before
33:52 <Nothing\> damn i'm getting hungry now
33:58 <Nothing\> damn you T3sl4
34:07 <Nothing\> guess i'll go warm of some hamburger helper
34:23 <T3sl4> ew
34:28 <Nothing\> i've got a ken shirriff lecture on youtube i wanna watch about reverse engineering ICs anyways
34:50 <Nothing\> T3sl4, normally i'd agree but it's been like 15 years since i've had any so i'm basically going into this with a fresh palate
35:04 <T3sl4> heh
35:17 <Nothing\> tuna helper was good. I dunno if they still sell it but it was almost like a casserole with a breadcrumb crust
35:40 <Nothing\> which hell, that's what i should tell my mum to make
35:42 <Nothing\> tuna casserole
35:58 <Nothing\> we've both been struggling to find foods we both enjoy anymore
36:26 <Nothing\> for some reason neither of us has any sort of appetite for most foods. it's weird

58:36 <Nothing\> i love these videos where he goes over cases of air traffic control fighting with pilots
58:50 <Nothing\> so much passive aggression
06:28 * steve30000 is hardly managing any cooking lately
12:09 <Nothing\> i'm hardly managing anything in general lately
12:21 <Nothing\> existing is more like it
13:02 <Nothing\> seems like the more i try to manage the more fucked things get so i gave up. Or tried to anyways. But that comes about as naturally as voluntarily pissing your pants.
13:11 <Nothing\> dunno why that came as my first analogy lol
14:16 <Nothing\> it's good to know at least that the will to fight is inherently built in. But it feels unnatural to fight these things.
15:53 <Nothing\> on an unrelated note, here's my super cool picture of the week/day/whatever: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/77/Transport_bij%C3%ADc%C3%ADho_srdce.jpg

17:35 <Nothing\> it's a picture of what's called a heart in a box for a procedure called a beating heart transplant. Where as the name and picture implies, instead of putting the heart on ice the way the used to, they essentially put it on a life support machine that keeps it beating and perfused with oxygenated blood. I think it's so cool that in the picture you can even see the wires for av/sa node where the machine is providing the
17:36 <Nothing\> it beat presumably. Or maybe just acting as a pacemaker. I have no idea how it works.
18:13 <Nothing\> and i'm just realizing i already linked to this this morning
18:16 <Nothing\> doh
18:49 <steve30000> hehe
18:53 <Nothing\> lol i swear thunderf00t has it out for veritasium. Although I think it's fair to say he has it out for just about everyone and everything he does his videos on.
20:39 <steve30000> i really should print out a calendar for february
20:40 <Nothing\> as much as i think the topics he covers are interesting, the amount he repeats himself and drones on and on about the same point for 20 or 30 minutes at a time, it get's really taxing to watch. But some of his videos are really cool where it's just scientific content. Like I remember one where he put his IPhone into the neutron beam of the accellerator at the lab he works in
22:19 <Nothing\> steve30000, huh i didn't even think of that. My mum and I have been having a hard time finding a decent calendar for 2022. Usually she gets me a retro game related one each year but she couldn't find one this year, or anything related to classic Nintendo franchises. And likewise she couldn't even find a good kitty calendar for herself.
22:40 <Nothing\> We both wound up relegating ourselves to using these tiny free calendars her bank was giving out lol
22:52 <steve30000> i print one each month
23:13 <steve30000> things I know well in advance, i add onto a computerised calendar, then print it at the start of each month
23:19 <Nothing\> yeah that's a good idea because i always feel reluctant to write on my Nintendo calendars and nice ones like that. I feel like I'm defacing it.
23:36 <Nothing\> So it'd be nice to have an expendible calendar, with lots of space for each day no less.
24:11 <Nothing\> where do you get them? anywhere specific? or do you just do a google image search or something each month?
24:31 <Nothing\> or i'm sure there are sites that have printable calendars for just this reason.
24:38 <steve30000> I used to use Claris Organiser on a Macintosh, but a few years ago I switched to 'plan' on linux
25:01 <steve30000> Although I do have a hand drawn grid which i can copy/print and write the numbers in by hand if all else fails
25:03 <Nothing\> ah okay so you just generate one with a utility and print it off?
25:15 <Nothing\> Like just print a screenshot from an organizer or something?
25:16 <steve30000> yes
25:31 <steve30000> no, they have a "print" function, which makes a nice printed version
25:37 <Nothing\> ah right on
26:11 <Nothing\> well i won't bother asking you for a windows version but i'm sure they're a dime a dozen and CNET probably has some article that ranks the most popular ones if I know CNET
26:52 <steve30000> https://www.bitrot.de/plan.html
26:53 <EEVBot> [Title] - plan - calendar and day planner
27:17 <Nothing\> ah there's a windows version too?
27:32 <steve30000> don't think so
27:46 <steve30000> although i expect something fancier like MS Outlook would do the same thing
28:31 <Nothing\> oh yeah i didn't even think of that lol Office is not something i use very frequently. Or Open Office. Though Office came with my version of windows but I still use Open Office out of habit lol.
28:49 <Nothing\> i think i tried the new version of excel and it just felt gross. So I went back to using calc
29:21 <Nothing\> and i definitely haven't had the need to use an email client since eudora was relevant
29:35 <Nothing\> or was that thunderbird
29:39 <Nothing\> either one i guess
29:54 <steve30000> If you don't want a dedicated calender programme, i seem to recall MS Word used to come with templates
30:10 Quit: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) Connection closed
30:28 <Nothing\> yeah i'm sure i could find a guide on how to generate one using some program in Office
30:42 <steve30000> I haven't used OpenOffice or LibreOffice lately. I went back to MS Office 2000 a few years ago.
30:47 <Nothing\> can't be too hard. Even with my inexperience with Open/Office.
31:09 <Nothing\> i've never actually heard of LibreOffice. That's a new one to me.
31:25 <steve30000> its a fork of openoffice
31:56 <Nothing\> I think the last time I used actual MS Office was using Word to write my resume back like 10+ years ago
32:24 <Nothing\> And that's just because I don't think many people would take you very seriously if you submitted a resume that's just a plain text document
32:33 <Nothing\> no matter how much you do to try to format it.
33:43 <Nothing\> or even wordpad felt insufficient. Which, whatever happened to WordPad and Rich Text Files. It seems like Microsoft kinda just pushed them to the side. Which I don't blame them. I always wondered why anyone would use WordPad when Word is superior and I'm pretty sure comes with every legit version of Windows.
34:03 <Nothing\> I could be wrong about it being included with Windows, though.
34:13 <steve30000> word isn't included with windows
34:19 <steve30000> hence wordpad
35:40 <Nothing\> ah okay yeah that makes more sense then. I was just confused about whether Office comes with Windows because my version came with it, and it's the first legit version I've had since Windows 98. So I wondered if they include it with all legit versions.
36:10 <steve30000> not sure about new versions
36:54 <Nothing\> but in lieu of my failed pic of the week, here's a neat site. It's a 6502 that was made using just mostly discreet transistors
37:16 <Nothing\> there are some 4 transistor ICs he had to use for reasons but he stuck to discreet as much as possible
37:17 <Nothing\> https://monster6502.com/
37:19 <EEVBot> [Title] - MOnSter 6502
38:08 <Nothing\> you might have already seen it if you're into retro computer. It's not a terribly recent thing. But still cool none the less. And even cooler that they're working on bringing it to market. But at a $2000-$4000 price tag I don't see it being very successful
38:15 <steve30000> nice
38:41 <Nothing\> but it's printed on a 12x15in 4 layer PCB so that alone isn't gonna be cheap
39:05 <Nothing\> and something like 4200 transistors, 300 LEDs, a few hundred more transistors for the LEDs etc
40:29 <Nothing\> If you ever saw it back in the day, there was a similar deal where this company made a 555 using discreet transistors and sold it as a kit. Dave even did a video putting one together and testing it out. Which I'd really like to watch now that I remember it. But they're the same guys who made that kit.
40:46 <steve30000> ah, i think i remember the 555
40:50 <Nothing\> though they said this won't be a kit. It'll probably just come pre-built.
41:08 <Nothing\> steve30000, yeah it was shaped like a giant DIP8 package
