19:34:54 <Ampera> sun, flowers, asians, butter
19:34:54 <T3sl4> aw dang, i don't have a E&F "it's fucking yellow" clip handy
19:34:54 <Halcyon> I just bought more mustard
19:34:54 <Ampera> https://i.imgur.com/7nS5pwK.png
19:34:54 <Halcyon> There you go
19:34:54 <T3sl4> https://i.imgur.com/wNI0Ivj.mp4
19:34:54 <Halcyon> In Finnish it's "sinappi"
19:34:54 <T3sl4> so just imagine that but he says the other thing :P
19:34:54 <Halcyon> I don't get it T3sl4
19:34:54 <T3sl4> because you dont have chemistry
19:34:54 <T3sl4> er, do chemistry
19:34:54 <Halcyon> Nope
19:34:54 <T3sl4> well, most organic reactions when they go wrong, make a bunch of yellow/red/brown/tarry bullshit
19:34:54 <T3sl4> which is most of his reactions, natch
19:34:54 <Halcyon> I see
19:34:54 <Halcyon> Argh, be right back, washing machine is binging at me
19:34:54 <T3sl4> bingeing with washish
19:34:54 <Halcyon> Yep
19:34:54 <Halcyon> Back
19:34:54 <Halcyon> One of my mates is flying out to Yankie land tomorrow
19:34:54 <Halcyon> To Missouri
19:34:54 <T3sl4> my condolences
19:34:54 <Ampera> actual condolences
19:34:54 <Halcyon> Well it's for a funeral so that's fitting :P
19:34:54 <Ampera> they don't call it misery for nothing
19:34:54 <Ampera> oh
19:34:54 <Ampera> yeah I guess that's bad too
19:34:54 <Ampera> 50/50 chance he has to book another one
19:34:54 <Ampera> for himself
19:34:54 <Halcyon> Is it not nice in St. Louis
19:34:54 <Halcyon> ?
19:34:54 <Ampera> let me put it this way
19:34:54 <Ampera> my dad grew up in cold war germany, and has visited east germany a handful of times
19:34:54 <Ampera> he visited St. Louis once
19:34:54 <Ampera> and considers it to this day to be the worst place he has ever gone to, by a country mile
19:34:54 <Ampera> so you can tell your friend that the place he is going to is rated worse than east germany by a guy who has actually been the DDR
19:34:54 <Halcyon> Oh wow
19:34:54 <T3sl4> if they're not hanging out in the actual slums it's fine i'm sure

19:34:54 <Halcyon> Yeh
19:34:54 <Halcyon> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ian6CXeFUYc
19:34:54 <Halcyon> So satisfying to watch people cleaining up metal
19:34:54 <steve30> hi
19:34:54 <Halcyon> Hey steve30 :-)
19:34:54 <steve30> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CInjStdrDx4
19:34:54 <Halcyon> Stupid low resolution cat
19:34:54 <steve30> meow
19:38:51 <Halcyon> How
19:38:54 <Halcyon> How's it going?
19:39:45 <steve30> i just woke up
19:39:53 <steve30> I think today is going to be a video editing day
19:41:31 <Halcyon> What you working on?
19:42:47 <steve30> Footage I took on Saturday
19:43:30 <steve30> There was an NHS protest, Extinction Rebellion were protesting at Barclays bank, and Morris Dancers were dancing around the city.
19:43:47 <steve30> I also took a walk round a park with the camera in the morning
19:45:55 <Halcyon> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjudczJpsVY
19:45:59 <Halcyon> He's a bit cute Steve
19:46:04 <Halcyon> Nice Aussie camping boy for ya
19:46:25 <Halcyon> Extinction rebellion? They're still around?
19:50:47 <steve30> That reminds me, there was a cute gay guy at the gym yesterday
19:51:37 <Halcyon> Did you speak with him?
19:51:45 <steve30> nope
19:51:52 <Halcyon> Hehe aw
19:53:58 <steve30> There were a few cuties on Saturday as well
19:54:23 <steve30> But why is it that the cuties you see in the gym are never the same guys you see in the changing room?
19:55:23 <Halcyon> Bahahahah
19:55:27 <Halcyon> Fat old men?
19:55:56 <steve30> Its usually the fatter ones in the changing rooms
19:58:41 <Halcyon> They are probably in there cruising
19:59:18 <steve30> I think they are usually just straight guys who are getting changed
20:01:10 <Halcyon> I wonder if big church bells are connected via NTP these days?
20:02:14 <steve30> Could be. Our town centre church got a new clock mechanism a few years ago
20:05:13 <Halcyon> https://www.campa.com/en/campa-products/bell-equipment/apollo-3
20:05:20 <Halcyon> Seems like a thing
20:14:57 <Ysjoelfir> morningses
20:17:24 <Halcyon> Hey Ysjoelfir
20:18:03 <steve30> o/
20:23:42 * Ysjoelfir pets Halcyon and hugs steve30

21:18:37 * T3sl4 pets Ysjoelfir
21:32:24 <Ysjoelfir> weeeeee
21:32:39 * T3sl4 pets more intensely
21:32:45 <Ysjoelfir> WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
21:32:54 * T3sl4 turns the pet up to 11!!!
21:33:01 * Ysjoelfir explodes
21:35:28 <Ysjoelfir> T3sl4, I am preparing my new lab in this apartment. I am so looking forward to it being ready.... It has been a long time since I did anything electronicy, I am missing it so freakin much :D
21:35:42 <T3sl4> weeeeee
21:36:58 <Ysjoelfir> yep
21:37:02 <Ysjoelfir> I started like this https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wPvgpkMnwH55Xgbj53ZoxUGUPcqvg4Mx/view?usp=sharing
21:37:58 <Ysjoelfir> Thats how it is right now, will continue to put stuff into the shelves in my lunch break https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wRlM746jwRHQVR-lr3DoGg0xzZcJMs-Y/view?usp=sharing
21:38:17 <T3sl4> :)
21:39:45 <Ysjoelfir> I like it a lot more than the old one, even though I am building that room with the thought in mind that I want to be able to "convert" it from a pure lab room to a combined lab / sleeping room in short time if it could become neccessary
21:43:03 <T3sl4> oh?
21:44:14 <Ysjoelfir> oh?
21:44:42 <T3sl4> as a guest room? idk
21:47:07 <Ysjoelfir> ah, that kind of "oh?" :D No, because my girlfriend has a child, and she is in fight with the dad about the..... the..... thingemajig that defines where the child stays and who can decide and stuff. It might become neccessary for her to provide a better living space for the child than her ex-but-still-husband, which I would love to support that way.
21:47:28 <Ysjoelfir> eg I could move my sleeping room into the lab and make a childs room out of the old sleeping room
21:47:32 <T3sl4> ahhh
21:47:45 <T3sl4> that would indeed be important :D
21:49:33 <Ysjoelfir> wouldn't it? Thats why I keep roughly 2/3 of the lab "free" to push my bed into it. I will also add a rail to the ceiling to quickly add a.... erm.... word finding problems.... piece of cloth thing to visually divide the room.
21:49:48 <Ysjoelfir> that stuff you put in front of windows. you know what I mean
21:49:51 <T3sl4> curtain
21:49:55 <Ysjoelfir> yes, that
21:50:52 <T3sl4> also, the other word was "custody" i think
21:51:53 <Ysjoelfir> according to dict.cc you are right. seems like I have a problem with worts starting with "cu*t"
21:52:02 <Ysjoelfir> worts. yes, perfect. *words
21:52:12 <T3sl4> cuntstudy is another important activity, aye
21:52:38 <Ysjoelfir> I do that regularely.
21:52:56 <Ysjoelfir> I strife to achieve the degree of a Master of cuntstudies
21:53:14 <T3sl4> cunning stunt
21:54:35 <Ysjoelfir> very much, yes
21:59:15 <Ysjoelfir> I also went through my Tektonix collection. Seems like I have a faible for the 560 series and the 502A. But my only Scope Cart is a 202, which is made for 500 series, from which I have exactly one 535A in very bad condition. I think I need to enlarge my collection.
21:59:46 <T3sl4> ooh, a boatanchor mover
22:00:24 <Ysjoelfir> yes :D (those carts are darn handy actually, I used it a lot to move stuff around
22:00:26 <Ysjoelfir> )
22:55:27 <Ysjoelfir> T3sl4, what would you do... I consider placing my PSUs on the bottom shelve and my multimeters and signal generator on top of them. Did you ever experience any problems with such an setup, eg the PSUs emitting some sort of noise into the instruments standing onto them? before I now connect all that and wonder where some strange switching patterns originate from in my otherwise clean signal, or whatever..
22:55:57 <T3sl4> how shite are they that you're wondering about this?
22:56:25 <K> are those switchmode psus?
22:56:36 <T3sl4> K!
22:56:44 <K> (hello selenium rectifiers)
22:56:48 <Ysjoelfir> well, my tools are mostly pretty old, and some are even a bit shady, like my HV PSUs, that are actually designed for electrophoresis. and yes, those are switchers
22:56:51 * T3sl4 nods in copper oxide
22:57:12 <Ysjoelfir> my normal PSUs are linear though
22:57:26 <K> one day i have to open up the old-old ussr made psu i have in me hometown
22:57:59 <Ysjoelfir> you should indeed
22:57:59 <K> just to see what is in there
22:58:14 <T3sl4> maybe it's tooooobs
22:58:30 <K> tubes is ra real possibility
22:58:33 <K> or even selenium
22:58:44 <T3sl4> selenium in tubes!
22:58:47 <K> !
23:00:21 <Ysjoelfir> I wonder if someone ever tried encapsulating a selenium rectumfryer into a twoob. could prevent the smell
23:04:08 <T3sl4> i'm sure it's been done, though i'm not sure why. it's not like leakage would be much improved, AFAIK
23:05:15 <Ysjoelfir> maybe adding some sort of noble gas could do.... something for something? at least it would be glowing in nice colors than
23:06:04 <hsn> hello folks
23:06:09 <Ysjoelfir> hi mr sand
23:06:22 <hsn> im mr Haval soon
