33:25 <Ampera> Managed to buy a 2 burner white gas camping stove for 66 bucks shipped
33:31 <Ampera> looks to be in excellent condition
37:49 <Nothing\> interesting
37:53 <Nothing\> i have a low grade fever
39:25 <K> you gonna cook your meatloaf on that?
40:18 <Nothing\> Ampera, lol that reminds me. I had this retarded argument with some... well.. retard on youtube about how flammable oil (petroleum) is. Which it was very apparent I was talking about petroleum. But the guy's saying oil's not flammable unless you wick it up in a lamp and i'm telling the guy who the fuck uses petroleum in an oil lamp? Maybe figure out the difference between petroleum and mineral spirits before you start
40:18 <Nothing\> expert. And Saddam's regime didn't seem to have an y trouble lighting all those oil rigs on fire in Kuwait. And the Deep Horizons well had no problem burning. Among a litany of other incidents I could have referenced but those are the two big ones.
40:33 <Nothing\> K, nah meatloaf got cooked by his own fever
40:38 <Ampera> K, probably mostly tea
40:57 <Nothing\> and the only reason i poke fun at him for dying of covid is because he purposely didn't get vaccinated
41:07 <Nothing\> he said at one point if he was gonna die he'd rather die a free man
41:12 <Ampera> Oil rarely means gasoline/petroleum/spirits
41:23 <Ampera> it's typically the lower end of the distillation
41:28 <Nothing\> and then like every other covidiot who says similar things he recanted on his deathbed
41:31 <Nothing\> Ampera, well, oil lamp
41:43 <Ampera> kerosene is sort of in the middle
41:44 <Nothing\> do oil lamps not use mineral spirits? Or are they used in something else
41:53 <Nothing\> oh yeah i guess they'd use kerosene wouldn't they
41:56 <Ampera> oil lamp is very broad
42:01 <Nothing\> that too
42:13 <Nothing\> i've always wanted one of those old fashioned like, olive oil lamps
42:21 <Nothing\> like the sort a genie comes out of
42:23 <Ampera> depending on the lamp it can be anything from vegetable oil, diesel, kerosene
42:47 <Nothing\> or i've always wanted to make rush lights
42:52 <Ampera> I have a gasoline burning lamp, but couldn't tell you if that's considerable as an "oil lamp"
42:56 <Nothing\> but i don't even think rushes grow in north america
42:57 <Nothing\> i dunno
43:14 <Ampera> in a sense, things like coleman kerosene lamps are both gas lamps and oil lamps
43:26 <Nothing\> lol it was funny seeing a quora or something like that question about how much wax candles cost a peasant back in the tudor times
43:35 <Nothing\> i'm like, uhh peasants couldn't afford candles
43:40 <Nothing\> they used rush lights, or tallow at best
43:59 <Ampera> Tallow can be made into candles though
44:07 <Nothing\> and there was no need to illuminate homes at night anyways, that's when you're supposed to be sleeping
44:14 <Ampera> refined wax candles as we know them are fairly recent inventions
44:18 <Nothing\> and during the day you're out working, so you don't need it then
44:40 <Nothing\> Ampera, yeah i think the last 200 yeras or so off the top of my head. But probably since tudor times at least
44:47 <Nothing\> like 18th-17th century
44:49 <K> technonology connections had a series of videos about various oil/gasoline lamps
44:56 <Ampera> I'd guess no earlier than the 19th century
45:01 <Nothing\> K, oh yeah i saw those but haven't watched them yet
45:04 <Ampera> maybe even early 20th
45:04 <Nothing\> -something about their shape
45:18 <Nothing\> he's put out a lot of videos lately i've been meaning to watch
45:32 <Ampera> I'd hazard most candles before refined parrafin wax were tallow or beeswax
45:35 <Nothing\> btw is it me or does he totally look like his name should be Quigley?
45:56 <Nothing\> i know it's alec but still he looks like a Quigley. At least before he grew his hair out.
46:03 <Ampera> K, I know, this is why I can't stop myself buying everything in that video and more
46:26 <Ampera> I hate Technology Connections, I want to spend money whenever I watch his videos
46:32 <K> haha
46:34 <Nothing\> K, actually have you heard about the Christmas Lectures that are done at the Royal Society each year?
46:49 <K> i think i've watched some
46:56 <K> but not recently-recently
47:08 <Nothing\> cool. so you're familiar with Faraday's first lecture he gave on how candles work?
47:18 <K> mm, nope
47:21 <Nothing\> the first ever christmas lecture
47:28 <Nothing\> oh really? it's a classic.
47:30 <K> too much crap in my head
47:45 <Nothing\> but anyways, there's a channel where the presenter reads over his lecture verbatim
47:52 <Nothing\> it was a real treat if you're familiar with it.
48:00 <Nothing\> but yeah those christmas lectures are nice.
48:12 <Ampera> Nothing\: refined wax candles were invented in the 19th century
48:20 <Nothing\> it's become a yearly tradition for me to watch them each year during xmas times

48:35 <Nothing\> Ampera, how were they refined? Like, what needed to be refined out of them?
48:47 <Nothing\> i'd imagine bits of organic material
48:53 <Nothing\> unreacted fats
49:04 <Ampera> This is probably petrolium derived parrafin
49:09 <Nothing\> maybe make the saponification reaction more stoichiometric
49:17 <Nothing\> oh okay
49:33 <Nothing\> that makes sense. It woulda just been a useless byproduct till then
49:36 <Ampera> that's what it is
49:39 <Nothing\> actually that's how vaseline came to be.
50:15 <Nothing\> man i've been so addicted to diablo 3 lately
50:37 <Nothing\> kinda sucks cuz it's like the 3rd or 4th time i've played through it because this is the 3rd port i've owned lol
50:47 <Nothing\> plus blizzadr screwed me on the DLC
51:14 <Nothing\> because the only option they had was buy the game or buy the game+DLC but no option to just buy the DLC. and I already owned the game.
51:37 <Nothing\> kinda weird though cuz the game's only $12 now on sale. But the DLC pack with the game is $50
54:45 <Nothing\> man Ampera i got this great cereal for fiber
54:53 Join: TheDude ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
55:07 <Ampera> yeah, I get some of it whenever I get a box from amazon
55:20 <Nothing\> oh yeah i already told you about this
55:26 <Nothing\> it's coming back to me now
55:46 <Nothing\> Ampera, lol no it's just this generic bran cereal i got from the bulk food store
56:00 <Nothing\> it literally looks like rabbit food. But it tastes like shreddies. Although a bit gritty.
56:17 <Ampera> If I need fiber, I just eat green apples by the bagfull
56:23 <Nothing\> but at a 1-2oz serving i could woof that down in like 3 spoonfullss
56:42 <Nothing\> Ampera, greenery's supposed to be good but i've never had results from it
56:55 <Nothing\> although i think by greenery they mean more roughage than apples
57:04 <Nothing\> but wtf are you doing eating granny smiths
57:08 <Nothing\> those are pie apples
57:12 <Nothing\> that's blasphemy
57:44 <Nothing\> actually i love granny smiths too. I only just found out the pie apple thing less than a year ago. But I don't care. The right way to eat/drink something imo is the way I enjoy the most.
57:58 <Nothing\> I don't give a shit about conventions or how it's SUPPOSED to be consumed.
58:17 <Nothing\> food's meant to be enjoyed and as such the best way to eat it is the way which brings you the most enjoyment.
59:13 <Ampera> If I eat a bag of apples my shit is liquid, no question
59:15 <Nothing\> heh i've always wanted to see a blind taste test of fancy wines vs shitty wines with wine connesoirs tasting them.
59:28 <Nothing\> Ampera, oooh i know what it is. It's not fiber it's the vitamin C.
59:39 <Nothing\> Apples are loaded with vitamin c, which gives you the trots in high amounts.
59:46 <Ampera> it doesn't
59:51 <Nothing\> it does
59:54 <Nothing\> i'll show you
59:54 <Ampera> I don't get the shits
59:57 <Ampera> no
59:59 <Ampera> stop
00:01 <Ampera> cease
00:05 <Ampera> and/or desist
00:05 <Nothing\> well maybe not from the amount you take
00:07 <Nothing\> but it does
00:15 <Ampera> I didn't question that
00:16 <Nothing\> just because YOU don't get it doesn't mean nobody does
00:19 <Ampera> ugh
00:20 <Nothing\> everybody's different
00:22 <Nothing\> yes you did
00:29 <Nothing\> you said "it doesn't
00:31 <Nothing\> "
00:42 <Nothing\> as in it doesn't give you the shits
00:52 <Ampera> I said apples do not give me the shits
00:54 <Nothing\> you being a generalized term for everyone
00:54 <Ampera> not Vitamin C
01:09 <Nothing\> but i just said
01:16 <Nothing\> <Nothing\> Apples are loaded with vitamin c, which gives you the trots in high amounts.
01:23 <Nothing\> to which you replied "it doesn't"
01:33 <Nothing\> hence i took that to mean vitamin C doesn't
01:35 <Nothing\> not apples
01:38 <Ampera> yes, I know, that's not what I meant
01:57 <Nothing\> indeed. I was just pointing out the source of the confusion.
01:59 <Ampera> it aids in shitting, it doesn't make me shit
02:09 <Nothing\> that's the best aid there is
02:13 <Ampera> There's no confusion about the point of confusion.
02:26 <Nothing\> your face is a point of confusion

02:47 <EEVBot> [Title] - Coleman Model 425F 2 Burner Camp Stove SUPER CLEAN | eBay
02:47 <Ampera> I bought this stove
02:49 <Nothing\> oh man my GP's awesome
03:14 <Nothing\> i popped into her clinic today while i was in the area to see about getting a script for my inhaler cuz this cold's killing my lungs and turning into pneumonia
03:22 <Nothing\> er bronchitis, not pneumonia
03:45 <Nothing\> they said she couldn't write a script with no appointment. But made an appointment for 2pm this afternoon.
03:50 <Nothing\> damn fast service.
04:39 <Nothing\> except she's gonna wonder why the imagining she scheduled to look for abdominal cancers a few monhts ago hasn't been done because i've been too sick to get out of bed any time i've had an appointment for one.
05:01 <Nothing\> i figure if it was cancer i'd be getting worse, not better. So I'm not concerned about it.
05:20 <Nothing\> actually maybe while i'm there i can get this thing on my ass crack burned off
05:51 <Nothing\> i dunno what on earth it is. It started off as a large mole when i was a kid. And as I aged it lost its color and grew and grew and grew and now its over half an inch long
06:05 <Nothing\> seems it would be a good idea to get it burned or cut off
06:20 <Nothing\> except stuff like that tends not to be covered by insurance for some reason
06:39 <Nothing\> we still have a few select things we have to pay for out of pocket for medicine

09:58 <Ampera> oh god now there's two of you
10:10 <Ampera> well, I guess it's not so bad
10:11 <Nothing> hi
10:17 <Ampera> I don't have to figure out which one to shoot, I just shoot both
10:20 * Nothing waves
10:25 <Ampera> it's like shooting a man in the back, it's the safest way
10:36 <Nothing> i got d/ced. He'll time out soon enough.
10:42 <Nothing> lol
10:50 <Ampera> it's almost like ZNCs exist for a reason
11:20 Quit: Nothing\ ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
11:20 <Nothing> i dunno why i'm getting DCed so much lately. I thought it was because i used CIRC and it was a shit client. But switching back to Hexchat and the problems remained.
11:33 <Nothing> there we are
11:38 Nick: Nothing is now known as Nothing\
11:43 <Ampera> canadian internet
11:50 <Nothing\> must be
11:54 <Ampera> are your DC's regular?
11:58 <Nothing\> yeah
12:08 <Nothing\> usually they come in bursts of 2 or 3
12:09 <Ampera> I used to drop out every 2 hours exactly, and found it was a fucked MoCA modem
12:12 <Nothing\> about once a day
12:15 <Ampera> no I mean exactly regular
12:19 <Nothing\> same time roughly too come to think of it
12:33 <Ampera> it could be a bad DOCSIS modem dropping sync regularly or something
12:42 <Ampera> plot what time it happens, and see if you can find a pattern
12:48 <Nothing\> well i haven't changed anything since it started
13:06 <Nothing\> oh well it's not a huge issue either way
13:17 <Nothing\> it seems a bigger issue to you guys who seem to miss my \
13:18 <Nothing\> lol
13:28 <Nothing\> meanwhile i don't even notice most of the time
14:03 <Ampera> as I said, ZNC
14:20 <Ampera> so long as the ZNC is stable it eliminates that, and you can read backlog from when your client's closed
14:51 <Nothing\> IC
15:05 <Ampera> I run one if you want to use it
15:08 <Ampera> couple other people in here use it
15:10 <Nothing\> hey can i ask you two semi-personal questions?
15:19 <Ampera> no, you can only ask me two actually personal question
15:29 <TheDude> dis gon b gud
15:33 <Nothing\> and i promise you there's a good reason for them. As crude/vulgar as they may seem at first.
15:37 <Ampera> lol
15:39 * Ampera hugs TheDude 
15:44 <Ampera> how are you doing dudeguy
15:44 <TheDude> \o
15:44 <Nothing\> first, are you circumcised?
15:47 <Ampera> nope
15:49 <Nothing\> hey TheDude how's it going
15:56 <Nothing\> Ampera, okay that saves me the second question then
16:02 <Ampera> lol
16:02 <TheDude> hey
16:08 <Nothing\> cuz i have a weird scar from my circumcision i was gonna ask about
16:21 <Ampera> can't help you, I'm fully tipped.
16:36 <Nothing\> and since i haven't seen a long dongs close up. I haven't exactly had a chance to see if anyone else has the scar
16:36 <TheDude> ... wouldn't that question be answered better by a doctor?
16:41 <Nothing\> or that type of scar
16:54 <TheDude> well, let's see a pic then
16:56 <Nothing\> TheDude, yes but then they'd have to examine my penis which i'd rather avoid if i could
17:06 <Nothing\> well you don't need to see it
17:15 <TheDude> ^ that was a joke, in case you do think about posting it here :D
17:22 <Nothing\> lol i had a feeling
17:24 <Nothing\> i wouldn't anyways
17:31 <TheDude> lol
17:40 <Nothing\> Ampera, made his feelings on NSFW material known and i remember and respect those wishes.
17:48 <TheDude> the traffic is absolutely shit today here
17:57 <Nothing\> that sucks
18:03 <Ampera> TheDude, simply come in and leave at times nobody else wants to
18:08 <TheDude> I saw a dense cunt try to overtake a standing queue of cars
18:11 <Ampera> I come to work at 6AM and leave at 2PM
18:14 <Nothing\> hey you said you live in the czech republic was it TheDude?
18:15 <Ampera> lol
18:18 <Ampera> hahahaha
18:19 <TheDude> by driving into the opposite lane on a very narrow road
18:20 <Nothing\> or Chechia?
18:23 <Ampera> hahahahaha
18:24 <Nothing\> i can't remember
18:28 <TheDude> chechnya
18:29 <Nothing\> czechia
18:31 <Ampera> lol
18:35 <Ampera> y'all are killing me
18:40 <TheDude> Slovenia :)
18:43 <Nothing\> oh okay i didn't know you actually lived in chechnya
18:50 <Ampera> It's like Croatia, but they get mad if you abuse pasta.
18:54 <Nothing\> solvenia that's what i herad i think
19:07 <Nothing\> chechnya, man you musta seen some shit
19:13 <Nothing\> especially if you were born in the 80's
19:14 <Ampera> It's where Trump imported his wife from.
19:25 <TheDude> aye
19:30 <TheDude> so back to my story
19:40 <Nothing\> yes, by all means. Sorry to interrupt.
19:54 <TheDude> the dense cunt that tried to overtake a standing lane of cars
20:12 <TheDude> so she drives forwards like 30m and tries to cut back in with her blinker
20:24 <TheDude> and obviously causes a traffic jam in the opposing lane
20:30 <Nothing\> lol
20:37 <Nothing\> i guess idiot drivers don't just exist here
20:37 <TheDude> and also nobody actually wants to let her cut back in
20:48 <Nothing\> actually i've heard some places in easter europe can be pretty bad
20:57 <TheDude> and then she argues with the driver that was originally in front of her after he doesn't let her cut back in
20:58 <Nothing\> doubly so for the far east and Africa.
21:00 <TheDude> jfc
21:17 <TheDude> it's not so bad here usually
21:23 <Nothing\> that's good
21:27 <Ampera> People like that deserve to get their car smashed.
21:30 <TheDude> people have this ugly tendency of flooring it into the amber light
21:37 <Ampera> and they're gonna get it sooner or later, just at the expense of some other poor fuck
21:41 <TheDude> and sometime sneak through the beginning of red
21:42 <Nothing\> Ampera, agreed. They don't deserve to drive.
21:53 <TheDude> I sometimes do the amber thing, never red
22:00 <TheDude> but mostly we're alright
22:05 <Ampera> TheDude, eh, it's always a decision
22:06 <TheDude> at least from my perspective
22:13 <Nothing\> TheDude, my mum has a bad habit of slamming on the brakes at an amber light she could have made if she kept her speed as is
22:24 <Ampera> plenty of cases where stopping would be worse than just speeding up and hoping to catch it.
22:33 <TheDude> right
22:38 <Nothing\> i keep telling her she's gonna get rear ended one of these days if anybody's ever behind her but she swears up and down she only does it when there's nobody behind her.
22:49 <Nothing\> Which in her defence, i have only ever seen her do it in such cases.
23:03 <Ampera> slamming your breaks is just bad for your car to begin with
23:09 <TheDude> so anyhow, something caused a traffic jam in the city
23:11 <Nothing\> But still I tell her the whole point of amber lights is so you DON'T have to slam your brakes on like that.
23:20 <TheDude> and the whole thing grinds to a halt when that happens
23:31 <Nothing\> Ampera, not slamming slamming. But enough to make you lurch forward in your seat.
23:37 <Ampera> One thing I typically do is if I see a red up ahead, I reduce speed, and try to wait until it's green so I don't have to stop.
23:52 <TheDude> well yeah
23:52 <Ampera> even if I have to downshift, it's better than stopping.
24:10 Join: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
24:25 <Ampera> but like, even if it's pretty far away, I still just slow down for it.
24:47 <Ampera> the thing is, this is stuff 0 people do around here, because nobody drives a manual
24:50 <Nothing\> TheDude, yeah that's how a lot of traffic jams start. It's usually just one relatively small event that slows things down or stops them and then there's a chain reaction that goes down the line of cars and eventually causes a full blown traffic jam. All because of one person's short sightedness.
24:56 <TheDude> like in general or only because you're afraid of stalling the engine on takeoff? :D
25:04 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, hey buddy how's it going?
25:26 <TheDude> Nothing\, it's a bit different over here
25:27 <Ampera> I've been doing it since I've started. I'm not scared of stalling anymore, but it's less wear on the clutch, takes less gas, uses less breaks, and is faster in general
25:35 <Ampera> *started driving a manual
25:42 <TheDude> the city has a motorway that goes around it like a ring
25:56 <Ampera> nobody does it in an automatic, they just do the speed limit until they have to stop, and they just step on the brakes.
26:05 <Nothing\> TheDude, lol and to think, people want flying cars so they can pilot aircraft as frequently as they pilot automobiles. Now just imagine how many crashes we'd have if that happened in a non-autonomous context.
26:11 <TheDude> so when traffic is going from one side of the country to the other, they go around the ring around the capital
26:12 <Ampera> that's the best thing I've found about driving a manual, you get punished for being inefficient.
26:13 <TheDude> so
26:17 <TheDude> when the ring gets blocked up
26:28 <TheDude> people that try to get from one side of the city to the other
26:36 <TheDude> go through the center instead of around the ring
26:43 <TheDude> and everything gets gridlocked
26:54 <TheDude> Ampera, no?
27:24 <TheDude> revving the shit out of the engine is rewarding as fuck and it's terribly inefficient
27:25 <Ampera> well yeah, if I'm in 4th gear and I can just slow down a bit and not have to come to a stop, I won't have to climb up to 4th again
27:26 <Nothing\> TheDude, oh that's another thing they just started introducing roundabouts here in the past 15 years or so and they confuse people so much. There are countless videos of people who just plow right through the thing and kinda make their own road.
27:30 <Ampera> lol
27:53 <Nothing\> even as a non-driver i don't understand what's so confusing about roundabouts
27:55 <Ampera> Despite owning an Impreza, I am a mild driving perfectionist.
28:00 <Ampera> I am not a good driver yet, but I want to be one.
28:02 <TheDude> we've had roundabouts for about 20 years now
28:12 <Ampera> Our roundabouts suck, you can't go all the way around them.
28:14 <TheDude> and people adapted to them in like 5 or so years quite comfortably
28:32 <Ampera> That's what's confusing about them, you need to be in the exact right lane to get out at the correct exit
28:36 <Ampera> you can't just enter and exist as you please
28:37 <Nothing\> you turn right, circle until you find your "off ramp" then turn off there. if you happen to miss it just keep driving and it'll take you back around sooner or later.
28:40 <TheDude> are those the roundabouts with little sloped curbs in between the lanes?
28:50 <Ampera> no
28:54 <Ampera> let me get you some pictures, one sec
29:12 <Ampera> https://www.google.com/maps/@42.9697894,-73.8011617,628m/data=!3m1!1e3
29:13 <EEVBot> [Title] - Google Maps 
29:14 <Ampera> they're these ones
29:46 <Ampera> the lines are set up in such a way to where you can't actually go around them, they're more like all way stops with more steps.
30:25 <Ampera> so in a case where you have five of the fuckers, you need to know exactly what lane you have to be in for each one, and if you need to be in a different one, you need to switch in fairly short order.
31:00 <Ampera> I have no idea who thought those were a good idea, but they need to take a long swim with some concrete shoes.
31:21 <Ampera> normal, actual roundabouts are fine, and make sense, and if we had them, nobody would have a problem with them
31:38 <Ampera> except for the complete idiots (like my grandfather) who get so confused by the concept of a circle they end up cutting straight through the whole fucking thing
31:42 <Ampera> anyways </rant>
32:01 <Ampera> not that traffic lights are always the answer, but they keep tearing up reasonable intersections for these fecking things.
32:46 <K> your grandpa is a stright-shooter and has no patientce for round-about ways of beating around (badum-tsh) bush!
33:16 <TheDude> roundabouts are based
33:20 <TheDude> IDK what you're on a bout
33:23 <TheDude> about*
33:28 <Ampera> look at that google maps shot
33:39 <Ampera> I'm mad at fake roundabouts that aren't actually roundabouts, just look like them
33:46 <TheDude> https://www.google.com/maps/@46.0805967,14.5278421,401m/data=!3m1!1e3
33:47 <EEVBot> [Title] - Google Maps 
33:48 <Ampera> actual roundabouts are fine, we have a few, and they work just alright
33:52 <TheDude> look at this based boy
33:59 <TheDude> 3 lanes the whole way around
34:00 <Ampera> yeah, that's a normal, fine roundabout
34:08 <TheDude> and you have traffic lights in between
34:23 <TheDude> you wouldn't believe how well it works
34:40 <TheDude> you just need to get in the right lane when you approach it
35:02 <TheDude> and it takes you in the right direction by just keeping the car between the lines
35:13 <TheDude> and the traffic flows incredibly well
35:13 <Ampera> yeah, it looks just like merging onto/off a highway
35:19 <TheDude> yup
35:20 <Ampera> just on a circle
35:38 <Ampera> I wish we had those, because some of our highway exchanges are absolutely /fucked/
35:49 <Ampera> so confusing you can't even figure out how they work on a goddamn map
36:14 <TheDude> lol
36:18 <TheDude> speaking of confusing
36:45 <TheDude> ah dang
36:55 <TheDude> the place wasn't recorded by google maps
37:32 <TheDude> there is an intersection I go through every morning
37:55 <TheDude> that has a small bump in the middle with like a sunk in curb
38:09 <Ampera> lol
38:09 <TheDude> that kinda sorta looks like it might be a tiny roundabout
38:16 <TheDude> but it's just a normal intersection
38:34 <TheDude> and every now and then, some confused dumbass goes around that thing like an idiot
39:05 <TheDude> some nearly causing crashes :D
40:21 <jaymax> That rapid-fire of multiple small roundabouts seems dumb - but if claiming that having several intersections instead would reduce the number of lane changes, be mistaken.
40:42 <jaymax> TheDude: got the place with the good layout
42:07 <TheDude> uh, what?
42:24 <jaymax> My bad.
42:37 <jaymax> TheDude has got the place with the good layout
42:54 <TheDude> yeah, that one in particular is really good
43:16 <TheDude> there is another close by that makes me uncomfortable tho

43:58 <jaymax> There are intersections here that are separated by less than half a block of street.
44:10 <TheDude> 3 lanes, but very weird
44:24 <TheDude> I don't actually recall ever seeing anyone on the very central lane
44:33 <jaymax> So if you'renot in position before the first, ya fooked.
44:57 <TheDude> also there are two lane roundabouts where the outer lane is not forcing you to go out
45:02 <TheDude> and yet there are two exit lanes
45:22 <TheDude> and people regularly go from the inner lane to the left exit lane
45:41 <TheDude> and doing that while driving in parallel with someone on the outer lane that is also exiting is uncomfy af
46:02 <TheDude> you have to keep very close attention to what they're doing before actually exiting yourself
46:04 <TheDude> it's nuts
46:10 <jaymax> Lol yeah
47:06 <TheDude> it would be 10 times better if they had those trapezoidal curbs in between the lanes
47:17 <TheDude> and the outer lane was forcing you to take the first exit
48:01 <TheDude> alright, gonna stop ranting now and grab a bite to eat
48:18 <TheDude> seeing as I've hijacked the conversation and made it a monologue for the last 15 odd minutes
48:56 <jaymax> No worries. I'm only going to add how 20% of the drivers here still think we remain under the rotary rules.
49:16 <jaymax> Roundabouts remain a relatively new concept.

07:59 <Nothing\> all of the clip probes i got fell apart or wound up with dodgy connections in them that i don't trust
09:44 <Nothing\> i keep finding these dodgy looking probes that try to be like scope probes where it's got the needle probe that you can slide an alligator clip probe over top of. But I somehow don't trust them to work the way they should.

38:10 <Nothing\> TheDude, helpful as that would be. Unfortunately eBay rejects my credit card. Presumably because it's a credit/debit card instead of a straight credit card with a credit limit.
38:19 Join: MRiddickW ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
38:37 <Nothing\> But I don't see what the difference is. If there's no money in the account how's that any different than a CC being over its limit in terms of the transaction's point of view
38:43 <TheDude> I used to buy things through paypal on ebay
38:51 <TheDude> back when I was still doing that
39:05 <TheDude> I don't even have a credit card
39:08 <Nothing\> i avoided paypal. I didn't feel like waiting several days to a week or more to access my money
39:45 <Nothing\> and i'd heard horror stories about people making big sales on a small business that was starting to take off only to have paypal freeze their account and all of their earnings due to suspicious activitiy
39:55 <Nothing\> because far be it for a small business to start doing well
40:33 <Nothing\> ah that's betters
40:50 <TheDude> ah
40:57 <TheDude> I only ever used it to pay for things
41:04 <Nothing\> finally got my prescription for an inhaler from my GP. Stuff's like drain clog remover for your lungs.
41:49 <Nothing\> yeah that was my plan too. But my things were drugs and another problem with that is when i buy drugs i want them NOW not a week from now because Pay Pal has to go through.
42:09 <Nothing\> and when bitcoin came along i couldn't be assed to figure that out
42:35 <Nothing\> i think i just sent money orders to my friend who bought bulk from the silk road and chinese labs that made fentanyl like drugs
43:18 <Nothing\> really sad because he died. I think it was suicide by overdose. Or just accidental overdose. I can't remember which.
43:27 <TheDude> buh
43:39 <TheDude> bitcoin is pretty neat, tho
43:56 <TheDude> and not exactly a difficult concept to grasp
43:57 <Nothing\> he was quite a character. Wanted by the FBI back in the early 2000s for hacking all sorts of military websites and stuff
44:14 <TheDude> and yet 99% of the people that bought it don't know the first thing about it

50:46 <Nothing\> huh the datasheet on the 7555 says the timing it does is upwards of hours
51:18 <Nothing\> i remember hearing on the BJT 555s you couldn't use a time constant more than a couple of minutes or the chip would "time out"
51:31 <Nothing\> i wonder just how accurate that is
51:56 <Nothing\> wonder what kind of time constant i can get with these 4700uf caps
52:47 <Nothing\> only 47 seconds with a 10k resistor. Huh I woulda figured a lot more
52:53 <Nothing\> guess that makes sense lol

32:27 <MrMobodies> Hello
32:33 <MrMobodies> the replacement battery came today
33:26 <MrMobodies> https://imgur.com/a/XoIqyEV
33:27 <EEVBot> [Title] - Imgur: The magic of the Internet
33:41 <MrMobodies> I worked out, this one wasn't as well oackaged as the other
33:47 <MrMobodies> so I think that one got damaged in delivery
33:54 <MrMobodies> it was loose in the box
34:04 <MrMobodies> whereas the other had cardboard bits stuffed around it
34:15 <MrMobodies> Can't believe this has happened twice
34:24 <MrMobodies> under the worst possible combination
34:51 <MrMobodies> damaged battery put in a a well packaged box and delivered
35:22 <MrMobodies> good battery put in a poor packaged box and delivered with damage
35:45 <MrMobodies> I somehow think it is now their fault
36:45 <MrMobodies> Suspicion: I do think there maybe the same person responsible for choosing the other battery that was damaged might actually be involved with the packaging on this occasion.
40:11 <Nothing\> lol i'm starting to think my uncle isn't the electronics wiz everyone in the family made him out to be since i was a kid
41:12 <Nothing\> for one, i found out he dropped out first year because he claimed he knew more than his professors so it was a waste of his time. Which is pure ego speaking and whether he knew the syllabus or not he probably didn't know more than his prof or HE would be the prof.
41:32 <Nothing\> and there's no guarantee he'd know anything from the 2nd, 3rd or 4th years
42:24 <Nothing\> then i showed him my raspberry pi, and he's touching the damn thing all over the face of it. Not handing it by the edges at all just touching everything all willy nilly. Not a HUGE deal I guess.
43:37 <Nothing\> but then the kicker was a facebook post where he said he needed help with a wiring harness for his truck's tailgate. He needed a new tailgate so he got one from a different year, which the tailgate fits, but the wiring harness is completely different.
43:44 <Nothing\> But he just went and hooked them up anyways.
44:28 <Nothing\> Then wondered why he had all sorts of issues like some lights didn't work, other lights wouldn't turn off. He'd have spurious alarms. And probably delivered 12v to something important on his CANBUS in the process.
44:57 <Nothing\> but you'd think somebody who knows a ton (or even common sense things) about electronics would know what a bad idea that was.
45:44 <Nothing\> then he's asking us techies the knew what to do. I just stayed out of it because there's nothing he CAN do. He needs the proper damn tailgate but he half assed it like everything.
46:07 <Nothing\> and i know he wouldn't accept the answer of "just take it to a professional who will replace it with the right part and cut your losses"
46:49 <Nothing\> i WAS going to suggest he try wiring up an adapter if he could figure out the pinout but i wouldn't trust hem to do that

06:20 <Nothing\> i know it can multiply/divide somehow

06:32 <Nothing\> and do logs. Maybe natural logs? I'm not sure.

07:26 <Nothing\> apparently slide rules are all different in terms of their functions but they all work the same way

56:40 <Nothing\> steve30, lol that's like me and learning to divide by hand. I must have had to learn about 5 or 6 times before it finally stuck because I just never used it.
56:43 <Nothing\> long division
57:03 <Nothing\> and i'll be damned if I even remember short division at all
00:05 <Nothing\> but i was just lamenting how I had read somewhere that within a week of learning something, like watching an educational video, you've forgotten something like 90% of what you learned. So the best way to actually learn something for the long-term besides using it practically, from an educational video context, you watch the video initially, then again a week later, then again a month later, then something like 2 or 3 m
00:06 <Nothing\> It sounds like a lot of tedium to remember to keep up with it. Especially if you've got dozens of videos on the go.
01:25 <Nothing\> I wish i remember where i heard that figure because it feels really dubious. Like that thing about only using 10% of your brain. But I've noticed if I do watch an educational video say a few months to a year after my initial viewing, it usually is like a new experience since I've forgotten most of it
02:01 <Nothing\> it's just interesting how learning works like that. And how dead wrong school got it. And frustrating that they still teach the same way despite the obvious shortcomings.
04:11 <Nothing\> oooh random thought but i was just thinking i should add up two sine waves by hand

06:01 <electrohead> got to meet up with a friend from the xbox, that I've been talking to for a few years now. her brother graduated boot camp, so I met him, plus the family

12:55 <electrohead> set my alarm for 0300, and was on the road by 0445

16:35 <electrohead> totally not in the mood for that
16:39 <electrohead> so I said fuck it, lol
19:07 <jaymax> Yeah, I have little clue about that, other than for military garb to be rather presentable for the volume produced, the cloth must be a bit.... rigid.
20:32 <jaymax> Clothes that wrinkle easy (or are well-wrinkled already) are sloppy looking but comfortable AF.
25:56 <jaymax> That reminds me of a meeting that happened today among directors where I work - my senior dir was sharing a screen going over a data-quality conondrum - my director and I were texting back and forth about specific challenges. He texted me "so very messy data" but he also texted a more crass acknowledgement "this is messy as fuuck" and I could not keep a straight face for the webcam when I saw that private
25:56 <jaymax> text get displayed on the senior-dirs shared screen as a notification.

05:43 <Ysjoelfir> whats a slur?
05:47 <Ysjoelfir> EEVBot time T3sl4
05:48 <EEVBot> It is currently 2022/05/05 22:05:48 where T3sl4 resides.
06:08 <T3sl4> "offense intended"
06:15 <Ysjoelfir> ah
06:28 <T3sl4> like, n-word is a slur
07:10 <Ysjoelfir> ah. so its like "I want to offend you by saying something demonstrably offending"?
10:01 <T3sl4> i mean, calling musk an edison is more factual than slurrical, but the implication is knowing all the monstrous things edison did e.g. electrocute animals and people, try to defeat tesla, etc, and projecting that on musk
10:45 <T3sl4> which, might not be far off, who knows what the future holds for him
11:40 <Ysjoelfir> true. but its also a "slur" (interesting word) in the opposite direction, considering all the shit he promised and didn't deliver despite thousands of engineers telling him that its impossible. isn't it? so its a double slur :D
15:55 <EEVBot> [Twitter] - eevblog - Looks legit. https://t.co/zAcF6ZyYdx
18:53 <T3sl4> edison invented* thousands of things, musk promised thousands of things and never delivered most of them? hm yes, that would be quite embarrassing
21:21 <Ysjoelfir> speaking of "inventions" - this looks interesting. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bb4t1F88mHs

31:23 <Ysjoelfir> interesting. I wanted to buy some RG58 to make some BNC to X cables. seems like buying ready made 5m BNC cables and cutting & converting them with a new connector seems to be like 4 times cheaper than buying 5m RG58 and four connectors
38:19 <T3sl4> go figure
41:04 <Ysjoelfir> I wonder if its even RG58.

27:21 <Ysjoelfir> 'murrica
28:32 <Ysjoelfir> speaking of that, my dear 'murrican friends, what (ideally metric) metric socket should I use for.... wth was that fuckery again.... a 6-32 x 1/4 inch nut?
31:49 <K> what kind of german contraption has freedom unit threads?
36:21 <Ysjoelfir> A Tektronix 502A I am restoring and can't for the hell of it get those stupid capacitors removed because it leaked over the fastener
41:12 <K> eeew
42:33 <K> maybe there is some moto/bike service/shop near you has a set of imperial sockets?
50:20 <Ysjoelfir> probably. but that would involve going outside :X
50:55 <K> eew again
07:35 <T3sl4> Ysjoelfir: idunno, whatever one fits :P
07:56 <Ysjoelfir> weeeelll..... 6mm is too small, 7mm slips
08:45 <T3sl4> a typical one these days is 5/16 ~= 8mm, but tek probably used odd size ones back then
10:07 <T3sl4> sounds like 1/4" = 6.35mm
12:19 <K> sacrifice 6mm wrench?
12:35 <Ysjoelfir> that sounds like unobtainium :D
12:47 <K> is it?
13:00 <K> i have some in me old stuff box
13:11 <Ysjoelfir> I meant a 6.35mm socket
13:14 <K> ah.
13:31 <Ysjoelfir> I have a lot of 6mm wrenches probably, should go into the basement and check

28:59 <K> sleep is for the weak, DHess_US
29:14 <K> hope everyone is ok there
29:31 <DHess_US> Wasn't much of a crash. The mailman did the same thing a couple years ago.
29:46 <K> i.e. no wee-woo wagon rides needed
29:55 <DHess_US> I've always worried about getting a car through the front of my house.
30:08 <DHess_US> Nope, and apparently no arrest.
30:28 <DHess_US> Cops were here almost instantly.
30:31 <K> cops be like "ur dumb, thats your punishment"
30:43 <DHess_US> Eh, not Chesterfield cops.
31:54 <DHess_US> City loves to pull people over first and decide why later.
32:38 <K> them quotas aint gonna fill themselves
