30:20 <Nothing\> lol i'm sick naturally for the first time in like 10 years
30:41 <Nothing\> it's funny because after all of the "unnatural sickness" i've dealt with this is nothing
30:48 <Nothing\> especially knowing itl'l be gone in 2 weeks
31:16 <rust_collector> no no, you have had the shots, so you will be ill for some time
31:38 <Nothing\> lol yeah the government activated my "vaccine"
31:47 <rust_collector> right
31:53 <Nothing\> that's why it happened to my mom and i at the same time
31:59 <Nothing\> because we got vaccinated at the same time
32:01 <Nothing\> oh man
32:15 <rust_collector> I think they activate by area you live in
32:21 <Nothing\> we even got sick within a few days of eachother. Which is exactly how long it was from when she got her vaccine till i got mine
32:22 * Ampera kisses Nothing\ 
32:28 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera <3
32:30 <Nothing\> hey buddy
32:58 <Nothing\> but yeah this is a cakewalk by comparison. I'm just worried about it turning into bronchitis.
33:22 <Ampera> how are you doing Nothing\
33:25 <Nothing\> actually that would almost be in my best interests because then i could get antibiotics. Get some azithromycin and have it knocked out in 3-5 days instead of 2 weeks.
33:34 <Nothing\> i'm not bad actually
33:40 <Nothing\> got a cold but otherwise well
33:56 <Nothing\> and even that's not bad
34:16 <Nothing\> just feels like my lungs are full of needles when i vape so i try not to. Which I just see as a blessing more than a curse.
34:29 <Nothing\> anything that forces me to mediate any of my addictions is a good thing imo
35:44 <Nothing\> it'll be interesting to see how this develops though because when i smoked weed and tobacco i always got bronchitis whenever i got sick like this. And this is the first time I've gotten sick since I switched to vaping, for both. So I'll be interested to see if it still turns into bronchitis or if my body finally fights it off on its own.
36:40 <Nothing\> my blood sugar's twice the normal level, but i'm chugging as much gatorade as possible so i can load up on electrolytes to detoxify my body
36:49 <Nothing\> i've already started taping used teabags to my feet
37:43 <Nothing\> oh lol that reminds me of a funny ad i saw yesterday
38:15 <Nothing\> it was one of those "sponsored content ads" that... well for one, it had one that was almost verbatim the exact same ad except with a pregnant horse where the vet finds something
38:29 <Nothing\> and this one was about a pregnant lion where the vet found something
38:44 <Nothing\> but the picture was of a pregnant lion with a mane
38:46 <Nothing\> lol
39:19 <Nothing\> it made me feel dumb though cuz my mum had to point it out to me i didn't even notice
39:58 <Nothing\> that's probably the only nice thing about those ads. Is they're fun to poke fun at and find flaws in
40:57 <Nothing\> there was one for some mexico cave tourism thing and the picture they showed was clearly of some sort of Duplo type model of a cave with little fake people but sort of out of focus so you could hopefully not notice
41:50 <Nothing\> or there's the number of ads i've been getting for "men's hospitals" for impotent men because my mum just had that surgery at a women's hospital and we've been talking about it a lot
42:01 <Nothing\> so i guess they figure i need to go to a men's hospital
42:11 <Nothing\> they're not wrong though i probably am impotent. Not that it matters.
42:31 <Nothing\> for all i care i could never get another boner in my life and it wouldn't make a lick of difference to me
42:50 <Nothing\> it's done what it's there to do what else do i need it for
43:03 <Nothing\> really it's more of a liability than anything else imo. All of those bits are.
43:32 <Nothing\> don't think i'm about to go pain olympics on myself though
43:41 <Nothing\> D: i wish i hadn't remembered that
43:50 <Nothing\> the one bit with the hatchet is burned into my memory
43:55 * Nothing\ shutters
44:02 <rust_collector> oh, not the firecracker?
44:12 <Nothing\> oh yeah i forgot about that one
44:33 <Nothing\> lol that reminds me of another video from way back in the day of a japanese or chinese guy sticking a firecracker up his nose
44:34 <rust_collector> you are welcome, no problem
44:44 <Nothing\> as soon as it went off blood just started gushish from his nose
44:59 <Nothing\> he probably shattered the thin piece of bone between his brain and sinuses
45:21 <Nothing\> not a good idea to turn your sinuses into a high pressure vessel
45:51 <Nothing\> although i have thought about some stupid youtube thing where a person would do chemistry experiments inside their body
45:54 <Nothing\> lol
46:15 <Nothing\> mix lye and and hcl in your butt and fart out the reactants
46:25 <Nothing\> and then shit in a bag the rest of your life
46:54 <Nothing\> actually that also happens to remind me of something painful related to sex or the body
47:10 <Nothing\> a guy who decided to try and make a cement cast of his rectum
47:31 <Nothing\> didn't realize how caustic cement is and i think it gets hot too doesn't it
47:42 <Nothing\> either way HE wound up shitting in a bag the rest of his life
47:56 <Nothing\> but they did retrieve the intact cement cast
48:44 <Nothing\> https://www.weirduniverse.net/images/2019/1987concrete02.jpg
49:00 <Ampera> Nothing\, did I mention that my cat now has diabetes?
49:12 <Nothing\> aww dude i'm sorry
49:31 <Ampera> why
49:32 <Nothing\> how bad is it? i'd imagine if you're just noticing it's probably been going on for some years
49:34 <Ampera> you didn't give him diabetes
49:49 <Nothing\> no by sorry i mean i'm sympathetic. Not regretful.
49:57 <Ampera> He lost pretty much all of his weight, at which point we brought him to a vet who thought it was a thyroid problem, but bloodwork says it's the beetus
50:00 <Nothing\> i know i did nothing.
50:07 <Ampera> you are nothing
50:14 <Nothing\> indeed
50:30 <Ampera> He needs twice daily insulin, but that's the worst of it it seems
50:39 <Ampera> we should be able to get the insulin reasonably inexpensively
50:40 <Nothing\> when they diagnosed my mum she already had it for 10 or 15 years
51:06 <Nothing\> i forget why they caught it early in me. I was really fucked up and, truth be told i was chugging 2 bottles of cough syrup a day for like 6 months.
51:19 <Nothing\> plus i was taking meds for over 15 years that predisposed me to beetus
51:24 <Nothing\> plus i had it all over my family
51:36 <Nothing\> so i knew i would get it. I just always figured they'd have a cure for it by the time i did.
51:47 <Ampera> lol
51:55 <Ampera> I like your logic
51:56 <Nothing\> but after i knocked off the cough syrup shit it went away after a year or so but it's come back a lot worse now.
52:13 <Nothing\> Ampera, well they'd been talking about it for ages
52:27 <Nothing\> pancreatic stem cell transplants or something
52:30 <Nothing\> at least for type 1
52:42 <Nothing\> at least the technology's gotten better
52:44 <Nothing\> and the meds
53:01 <Nothing\> my mum just went on insulin and it's just like an epipen
53:25 <Nothing\> she sets her dose, puts it on her stomach, clicks a button and it just delivers the dose a few mm under her skin. Not into the muscle.
54:33 <Nothing\> and there's no pricking her finger to check her sugar. She just wears this little plastic disc that has a tiny needle that stays in her. She says she doesn't feel a thing from it. And she can just scan it wirelessly with a reader and it gives a graph of her blood sugar since the last time she scanned it
55:09 <Nothing\> pretty damn clever. And a lot better than pricking your finger i think. Although I'm not sure how I'd feel about having a needle stuck in me 24/7 for the rest of me life like that.
55:38 <Nothing\> i guess it's no different than a sliver. So why does my brain tell me it's different.
56:00 <Nothing\> if anything it's better because it's cleaner and i can actually remove it without tearing my skin up
56:27 <Nothing\> it's weird how irrational phobias are like that
58:27 <Nothing\> i remember when i got a CT scan they put an IV in me and for some reason they did it right in the crux of my elbow. So every time I moved my arm I could feel the canula pulling inside my vein because it was taped to the outside of my arm. I dunno why they couldn't have done the back of my hand like they usually do. Or the dorsal side of my forearm.
58:44 <Nothing\> or even the ventral side... if that's the right term probably not
58:51 <Nothing\> i guess it would be if my arm was a fish
59:13 <Nothing\> Ampera, unstuff my nose
59:40 * Ampera disobeys, shoves turkey stuffing up Nothing\'s nostrils
59:58 <Nothing\> brb
00:02 <Nothing\> oooh that'll do lol
00:30 <Nothing\> lol i do this thing where i'll wrap up a kleenex to make a cone around the one corner
01:41 <Nothing\> then i stuff as much of it up my nose as i possibly can. Usually the entire thing or close to it. Then I slowly pull it out and it just draws everything out of my nose and works so well.
01:57 <Nothing\> And somehow I've never had the kleenex break off in my nose in 20 years of doing it.
02:03 <Nothing\> actually more like 25
03:01 <Ampera> My nose has been blocked for the past 15 or so years to varying degrees
03:06 <Ampera> I've just gotten used to being miserable
03:30 <electrohead> yay for genetics \o/
03:37 <electrohead> I have the same problem, allergies and such
03:42 <electrohead> runs in both sides of my family
03:43 <electrohead> wtf
03:44 <Ampera> not allergies
03:50 <Ampera> I'm just blocked up
03:59 <Nothing\> Ampera, have you ever used afrin or any decongestant sprays?
04:04 <Ampera> yes, they don't work
04:11 <Nothing\> so it's a mechanical problem
04:13 <Ampera> I haven't used one in years
04:15 <Ampera> probably
04:16 <Nothing\> deviated septum?
04:19 <Ampera> probably
04:24 * electrohead waves at Nothing\
04:24 <Ampera> I went to an ENT about it, and he was useless
04:28 <Ampera> he's also dead now.
04:38 <Nothing\> hey electrohead sorry i did see you i was going to reply aaeaisnetidedoia
05:11 <electrohead> lol
05:14 <electrohead> and like, sup n stuff.
05:21 <Nothing\> but yeah i had problems with stuffy nose as a kid so as a teen my dad gave me afrin, or dristan up here. But little did I know the more you use it, the worse your congestion gets
05:32 <Nothing\> so i've been using it every day for 22 years
05:34 <Nothing\> almost every day
06:10 <Nothing\> save for a few months here and there when i did manage to get off until my mum's dipshit ex got me sick because he doesn't know how to cover his damned mouth when he coughs
06:57 <Nothing\> i fucking hate people like that. It's such selfish behavior. Especially considering getting an at-risk person sick is literally a matter of life and death, and covering your mouth is such a trivial matter.
07:08 <Nothing\> boorish even
07:21 <Nothing\> electrohead, i caught my mum's cold lol
07:32 <Nothing\> it's funny being sick naturally for the first time in like 10 years
07:48 <Nothing\> i made sure it wasn't covid though. We both did quick tests
07:57 * electrohead catches Ampera
08:13 * Ampera throws an exception anyways
08:27 <electrohead> :p
08:34 * electrohead beers everyone with rocket science
08:40 <Nothing\> electrohead, it's a blessing though because vaping (weed especially) makes my lungs feel like they're full of needles so i'm really limited in how much i can
08:47 <electrohead> I drank nearly all of my home made beer, already
08:49 <electrohead> >.<
08:52 <Nothing\> i keep it basically to what's necessary to maintain normality and nothing more
08:58 <electrohead> eat it, instead?
08:59 <Nothing\> electrohead, damn that didn't take long
09:02 <Nothing\> how much did you make
09:06 <Nothing\> electrohead, it's expensive to eat it
09:10 <electrohead> 5 gallons
09:25 <Ampera> what's your alcohol blood content like?
09:33 <electrohead> lol
09:38 <electrohead> I had fun, damn it
09:50 <electrohead> besides, it's a given, when it's your first batch
10:02 <Nothing\> electrohead, get this, a 1g pod of extract with 850mg of THC costs about $40 after tax. Where a pack of edibles, because there's a law that says edibles can't have more than 10mg in them each, you get a pack of maybe 2-5 edibles for the same price
10:14 <Nothing\> so 20-50mg for the same cost as 800-850mg
10:19 <Nothing\> AND it's weaker orally
10:54 <Nothing\> whenever i took it orally i had to take about an eighth of an ounce which has a similar amount of THC, about 700mg or so
11:39 <Nothing\> i tried these oral drops that were what... i think 10mg per ml and even after taking 20ml which was frigging disgusting i didn't feel jack
12:33 <Nothing\> but yeah i just never seem to have luck with them because it seems that they don't work unless i use at least $30 worth of weed for enough for just 1 SITTING. Not day, sitting.
13:00 <Nothing\> maybe if i grew it myself. But even growing, the law only allows for 3 plants per person so i could only grow 6 plants between my mum and i and that would not be enough.
13:19 <Nothing\> youmight get an ounce per plant and not nearly the potency of store bought.
14:05 <Nothing\> so as nice as it would be to be able to eat the stuff, i'm sure it'd be a great source of fiber too, seriously, lotsa greenery. It doesn't seem feasible as long as the stupid 10mg/dose law exists
14:51 <Nothing\> which i think is to protect newbies who accidentally eat a ton of them because it takes 3 hours to kick in so they eat some, feel nothing after 2 hours then eat more and take too much, freak out and think they're dying
15:05 <Nothing\> which happens enough that they've had to put warnings on the stuff about it lol
15:19 <electrohead> well
15:28 <electrohead> you can always just make your own?
15:35 <electrohead> back in my weed days, that's what I did, anyways
15:39 <Nothing\> oh, also
15:40 <Nothing\> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsYwFizhncE
15:40 <EEVBot> [Title] - Youtube: Why do colliding blocks compute pi?
15:44 <electrohead> I made my own hash, oils, edibles, etc
15:50 <Nothing\> electrohead, yeah that's what i was talking about
16:01 <Nothing\> even making my own i'd have to use 1/8th per sitting
16:05 <Nothing\> so like $30
16:45 <Nothing\> it's just not feasible
16:51 <Nothing\> much as i would like it
17:09 <Nothing\> vaping isn't THAT bad. I get a bit of crap I cough up but nowhere near as much as I did with straight flower
17:40 <Nothing\> straight flower it was like i was smoking 3 packs of cigarettes a day i was hacking up so much black shit and had to go on an inhaler and had all sorts of breathing problems.
17:48 <Nothing\> whomever says smoking weed is harmless is full of shit
18:03 <Nothing\> and i noticed that even back in my teenage days
22:48 <electrohead> heh
22:52 <electrohead> welcome to the drug world
23:39 <Nothing\> indeed lol
23:59 <Nothing\> that reminds me, i watched a video about a really amusing story involving ross ulbricht last night
24:04 <Nothing\> the guy who ran the silk road
24:13 <Nothing\> and how some guys tried to blackmail him for half a million
24:22 <Nothing\> and how he tried to hire hitmen to murder them
24:25 <Nothing\> and other people
24:40 <Nothing\> like, stuff that was actually confirmed during his trial
25:09 <Nothing\> it was a really amusing story but at half an hour holy crap was that a long time to sit and listen to an anecdote about something i don't care about
25:26 <Nothing\> my drugs came from the silk road but i never bought direct from there
25:57 <Nothing\> damn
26:38 <Nothing\> i drew a V on my wrist to remind myself to ask for a ventolin (inhaler) prescription at the doctor tomorrow but i realized it could be misinterpretted as a sign that i'm sympathetic to the russian invasion of Ukraine
28:58 <Nothing\> that reminds me. I guess they figure Russia's finally going to declare an actual war against Ukraine soon. Which I don't see what that would change. Maybe give Putin a reason to not hold back as much. ANd I know it lets him bring conscripts and reserve forces in. Not that they'd fare much better. They're all just kids. And the conscripts are especially bad. Just civvies like you or me taken from their lives, given 2 o
28:59 <Nothing\> next to no equipment and a false promise that they'll return a hero.
29:41 <Nothing\> if the troops they've sent in so far are better trained than the reservists and conscripts i loathe to see how badly they'll get their asses kicked
29:51 <Nothing\> lol especially if they have them flying fuckin SU-35s
30:11 <Nothing\> ah well fuck it
30:13 <Nothing\> i should play diablo
31:28 <Nothing\> i've been playing the hell out of diablo 3 lately because i got screwed buying the DLC. Trying to buy the DLC to get the 5th act and some other extra content and the only option they gave me forced me to buy the game a second time but didn't reimburse me.
31:51 <Nothing\> it's funny. The game itself is $12. But with the DLC content and all that it's $50
32:09 <Nothing\> usually it's the DLC that costs less
32:49 <Nothing\> lol real life GTA
32:50 <Nothing\> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvNVSnehqw0&lc=Ugw2AtyOyLsIm155amd4AaABAg.9_toJ9AcGyF9abYHwqseiV
32:51 <EEVBot> [Title] - Youtube: Man tries to jump on train during pursuit
32:58 <Nothing\> i always love these types of videos
33:18 <Nothing\> you can tell these guys played too much GTA because I don't remember there being police chases like this in the 90's.
33:39 <Nothing\> The most exciting chase we got was the OJ Simpson chase and that was tame even compared to this.

39:45 <Kuschelpony> one of these curiosities
40:04 <Kuschelpony> i just learned that the first electric flas strobe was built in the year 1887

12:08 <DHess_US> Meet the director of the Disinformation Board, https://twitter.com/ComicDaveSmith/status/1520020705814921217
14:55 <Nothing\> hey Kuschelpony, and DHess_US
16:01 <Nothing\> tell me, what would you call a circuit that takes a DC voltage and inverts the sign, so a positive voltage becomes negative and vice versa. You would assume it would be called a voltage inverter but searching for that just gives you the DC to sinusoidal AC voltage coverters for cars and such.
16:34 <Nothing\> or isn't there some ICL series IC that converts positive DC to negative DC
16:42 <Nothing\> i forget the name but i know i have some
16:47 <steve30> 7661 maybe?
16:51 <Nothing\> that's it
16:53 <Nothing\> thank you
16:58 <Nothing\> also heya steve30 how ya doing?
17:35 <steve30> or 7660
17:54 <steve30> datasheet just calls it a 'voltage converter'
18:09 * electrohead converts T3sl4
18:43 <T3sl4> WOLOLO!
19:13 <DHess_US> Switched capacitor charge pump
19:26 <T3sl4> inverting charge pump or DC-DC converter
19:28 <DHess_US> A 7660 can do more than just invert. Typically they can also double or halve.
19:55 <T3sl4> though you'll have a harder time finding one fully symmetrical i.e. that works for any input negative or positive
19:58 * electrohead beers T3sl4 and DHess_US with rocket science
20:08 * T3sl4 is blinded
21:16 <electrohead> by the light, and wrapped up like a duce, in the runner of the night?
21:20 <Nothing\> DHess_US, yes that's right
21:23 * electrohead thinks he got that correct
21:25 <Nothing\> Dave did a video on them actually
21:30 <Nothing\> 7660s
21:58 <Nothing\> that's where i remember the charge pump thing from but that seems to be the basis for most positive to negative and presumably vice versa circuits
22:44 <Nothing\> lemme see what my datasheet says i know i got one with the chips i bought
22:57 <Nothing\> also the chips i got came covered in some sort of sticky substance for some reason :o
23:11 <Nothing\> was a real pain to clean off of them
24:07 <T3sl4> lol
24:13 <Nothing\> lmc7660 is the one i have
24:23 * steve30 is going to attempt to go out for a walk
24:38 <Nothing\> "switched capacitor voltage converter" is what the TI datasheet calls it
24:45 <Nothing\> steve30, always a fantastic idea
24:51 <Nothing\> i should do the same more often
25:24 <Nothing\> it's ironic. I need to walk to treat my depression. But the more depressed I become the less I want to go out for walks and the more depressed I become.
25:34 <T3sl4> shame spiral
26:22 <Nothing\> I was thinking of maybe getting one of those electronic bicycles. Not an ebike. But it's an actual bicycle with pedals with an electric engine that assists with pedaling and you can recharge with pedaling or downhill slopes and such. Or you can just have the motor take over all together.
26:33 <Nothing\> except they run you about $2k
26:53 <Nothing\> T3sl4, yeah it's the worst feedback loop ever
27:18 * electrohead loops Nothing\
27:19 <Nothing\> well maybe not the worst. I understand there are a lot of really unpleasant ones in medicine
27:26 <Nothing\> like ah what's it called
27:38 <Nothing\> something storm.... it's what happens to some people with covid
27:47 <Nothing\> i wanna say catecholamine but that's wrong
28:07 <T3sl4> cytokine?
28:10 <Nothing\> electrohead, was it you who was talking about the new jackass movie a few months ago
28:22 <Nothing\> T3sl4, yes thank you. I believe that's a sort of feedback loop isn't it?
28:57 <Nothing\> they shoulda called it cytokine blitz instead
29:02 <T3sl4> i mean, basically everything in biology is
29:15 <T3sl4> everything out biology too for that matter
29:16 <Nothing\> calling it cytokine storm brings to mind images of little thunderstorms rolling through parts of my body
29:42 <Nothing\> i thought everything in biology was a neverending quest to slow entropy as much as possible
29:50 <T3sl4> what
29:57 <Nothing\> that's all life is isn't it
30:01 <T3sl4> biology exists to increase entropy as much as possible
30:05 <Nothing\> just a system to slow the effects of entropy on itself
30:14 <Nothing\> no no decrease
30:16 <T3sl4> where do you think we get our energy from?
30:27 <Nothing\> other way around =P
30:53 <Nothing\> our bodies work to slow/reverse entropy so as to repair and slow damage as a result of it
31:01 <Nothing\> which is essentially all anything alive does
31:06 <Nothing\> that and replicate
31:08 <T3sl4> a physical argument against propagation of life is to reduce entropy increase. if there's a way to turn everything to black holes, we'll eventually discover it, and destroy the universe in the process
31:41 <Nothing\> T3sl4, that could be why the fermi paradox exists
32:04 <Nothing\> maybe we're the first such intelligent life forms because any other would inevitably come to a point where they'd find that sort of technology and wipe out the entire universe
32:09 <T3sl4> i suppose that's balanced by, a universe without life isn't exactly interesting, so perhaps a compromise of life just smart enough to enjoy its cosmic mystery but not doom it to heat-death would be optimal in a sense :P
32:26 <T3sl4> to premature heat-death, i should say
32:52 <Nothing\> either that or we're being covertly monitored for when we approach or reach that point so external forces, ie other more advanced civilizations can intervene before we DO destroy the universe
33:00 <electrohead> Nothing\: is the new jackass movie out yet?
33:14 <Nothing\> electrohead, i got a good torrent of it if that's what you mean hehe
33:21 <electrohead> lol
33:36 <Nothing\> i watched some of it then decided i wasn't stoned enough so i put it on hold 15-20 minutes in but it is pretyt damn funny so far
33:42 <Nothing\> even the opening is gold
33:51 <Nothing\> gives the poo volcano a run for its money
34:07 <T3sl4> a runs* for its money
34:10 <T3sl4> a run for its runs?
34:16 <Nothing\> haha yeah pretty much
34:29 <Nothing\> i was thinking they had to have loaded pontius up with laxatives before that
35:00 <Nothing\> and i remember there was a bunch of other poop related stuff either on the movies or the steve-o specials or something like that where you could tell they've been taking laxatives
37:32 <Nothing\> jeez. I've clicked my mouse about 5,000 times and pressed 33,000 keys on the keyboard just in the last 24 hours
38:33 <Nothing\> it's amazing how durable the switches are in keyboards and mouses to survive so many cycles. Though I've had the last 4 logitech mice I bought where within a year they were bouncing like crazy on the left click button. So it always double clicked when I didn't want it to.
39:00 <Nothing\> yet i keep buying the same damn mouse because old habits die hard and it's only like $30
39:39 <Nothing\> and i really dunno any other good logitech mice. Or relaly any brands of mice that are worth while. I just know microsoft sells mice too but i would never buy a microsoft mouse.

04:39 <Nothing\> oh man these squares are tasty but so bad for beetus
05:03 <Nothing\> it's a marshmallow square covered in chocolate, drizzled in white chocolate and sprinkled with mini m&ms
05:21 <Nothing\> lol also i gave my cat 2 round rocks that i found outside to play with and they love them
05:51 <Nothing\> very noisy. But they love rolling them on the floor. lol they learned pretty fast though that these aren't balls they can pick up in their mouth and carry around.
06:54 <Nothing\> i always wondered what the one type of rock is. It's smooth, and white/black speckled. Looks like the white might be some sort of quartz i dunno.
07:26 <Nothing\> i'm more curious about the black minerals in this block of quartz i have. And it has some sort of fluorescent yellow one too.
07:50 <rust_collector> Nothing\ I bet half of the micro-soft mice are made by logitech, same with hp and dell
08:11 <rust_collector> I put a little capacitor on the switch on mine, and that seems to work
08:59 <Nothing\> huh rubies and sapphires are fluorescent. I guess any type of corundum is.
09:15 <Nothing\> oh yeah? Maybe i should do that.
09:30 <Nothing\> When I get a soldering iron that doesn't take friggin 5 minutes (literally) to solder one connection.
09:36 <Nothing\> and still doesn't do it right
10:02 <rust_collector> does it melt solder?
10:18 <Nothing\> can't heat a 0.5mm thick lead enough to melt the solder onto it so I just melt a big blob and drag the part through. But since the part's cold, the solder doesn't stick to it.
10:22 <Nothing\> presumably.
10:35 <rust_collector> then it probably is not the iron
10:44 <Nothing\> i've never been able to get even copper solder wick to wick up solder properly
11:16 <rust_collector> try to wiggle it apart a bit, to poen up the braid, and add flux, and try again
11:17 <Nothing\> rust_collector, well the tip isn't a chisel tip so that doesn't help but i wouldn't imagine that would make it absolutely useless.
12:48 <Nothing\> nah i think i'd rather get a hakko temp controlled thing. Would be much better than this "60w" $20 thing from the surplus store that oxidized the second i used it
12:57 <Nothing\> doesn't even have a ground connection
16:43 <Nothing\> this app that tracks my keyboard, mouse and other stats on the computer is really neat
17:38 <Nothing\> especially this heat map that shows where on the screen i click the most. I've been playing Diablo 3 a lot so you can see where each of the boxes for my inventory is where i was selling off items. Or where the X button is to make the characters shut up and hurry the story along. Which has the most clicks lol.
17:47 <rust_collector> sounds like one of those step counters people use for workout, or at work. it really does not matter what it says, because you will still go as far, to do what you need
18:46 <Nothing\> yeah it's sort of like that except they made it into a competition or something i guess. I dunno. There's a ranking system and a leader board. Which makes no sense because you know some guy with no life's just gonna set up a crappy little computer with a macro running 24/7 to max the thing out.
19:28 <Nothing\> although that's harder with the keyboard because it monitors how many times you press each key. So unless your macro types actual english words the statistics aren't going to line up
21:06 <Nothing\> i guess there are very specific numbers regarding how often each letter appears, like the second most used letter is used half as much as the first and the 3rd most used letter is used half as much as the 2nd. Or something like that. I wish I could remember what it's called. The name zipf comes to mind.
21:48 <Nothing\> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipf%27s_law
21:50 <EEVBot> [Title] - Zipf's law - Wikipedia
21:55 <Nothing\> i was close. It relates to words, not letters.

42:57 <K> hmm
43:00 <K> tempting.
43:41 <K> add some sourcream and might just.

45:55 <K> eew.

28:52 <Nothing\> man i love these sesame seed snack things i got. I'm not quite sure what they are. Some sort of crispy baked bite sized snack that's all full of sesame seeds
29:44 <Nothing\> and they're sorta trapezoidal
29:45 <K> deep fried ants
29:57 <Nothing\> i would like that actually
30:16 <Nothing\> ants secrete formic acid (hence the name) so some of them have a lemony taste
30:29 <Nothing\> i know there's one species that's particularly well known for it
31:03 * Ampera hugs Nothing\ 
31:07 <Ampera> how are you doing fren?
31:14 * Nothing\ hugs Ampera 
31:37 <Nothing\> well i could stand to not have to poop but be constipated because i have to give a pee sample in about 30 minutes
31:51 <Nothing\> and there's nothing worse than trying to squeeze out a pee sample while you have to poop
32:10 <Nothing\> otherwise i'm fine though. How bout you, bud?
34:10 <Nothing\> i got this bran cereal that's like 40% fiber. Hopefully it'll fix my poop problems and not be too unpalatable. Though i tried a handfull and it's not bad. A little sweet, but grainy. Tastes just like shreddies though.
34:52 <Nothing\> I figure even if i load it with sugar it won't have half the sugar content of my other cereal. Plus I only need 1 or 2 ounces instead of like 8
35:32 <Nothing\> i'm lucky i didn't give myself scurvy with that damn cereal cuz it was practically all i was eating for like a month
35:42 <Nothing\> eggs for breakfast, cereal for supper
38:45 <Nothing\> bah i should get going
