01:30:06 <MrMobodies> Hello
01:30:14 <MrMobodies> Somone has pointed out
01:30:21 <MrMobodies> and I think they are right
01:30:32 <MrMobodies> that I may have "thin skin"
01:30:53 <MrMobodies> it was to do with that seller on ebay who blocked me
01:30:56 <MrMobodies> https://www.eevblog.com/forum/buysellwanted/name-and-shame-list-of-sellers-who-block-users-at-no-fault-of-their-own/msg4619632/#msg4619632
01:30:58 <EEVBot> [url] Name and Shame list of sellers who block users at no fault of their own. - Page 1 | www.eevblog.com
01:32:19 <MrMobodies> normally when a seller doesn't want to make things right, when something is wrong, I open a case, I get my money back, return it and leave it at that
01:51:11 <Ampera> MrMobodies, I think you tend to take problems that impact you very seriously
01:51:24 <Ampera> and you tend to keep digging even if you're past the point of it doing anything.
01:58:13 * K gives MrMobodies a show shovel
02:18:18 Quit: DHess_US ([email protected]) Quit: Later Synapsid Tetrapods
02:54:21 <MrMobodies> yes I see it is a habbit or flaw
02:54:34 <MrMobodies> I sometimes don't know when to stop but I can see now it is time to stop
02:55:02 <MrMobodies> thanks for telling me
02:55:28 <MrMobodies> as said in the thread
02:55:35 <MrMobodies> to move on
02:56:20 <MrMobodies> I was told ten years by someone, I was "gullible". on explaination I couldn't understand what they were saying
02:56:38 <MrMobodies> now I think i know what they mean to do with the "thick skin"
03:08:20 <Ampera> MrMobodies, think in the reverse. Think not when you should stop, but what is the least that you can do to solve the problem.

03:18:26 <Nothing\> lol i found an "electromagnetic coil gun" on aliexpress. It's just a spool of magnet wire with both ends exposed that's severely overpriced
03:19:26 <Nothing\> and I dunno about you guys but I know every spool of magnet wire I ever got, I exposed both sides to make it into a hefty solenoid before actually using it as wire.
03:19:54 <Nothing\> just to play with a solenoid with as many turns as possible
03:22:34 <Nothing\> ooh dwarf fortress is on Steam now
03:24:02 <Nothing\> ah today's a good day. Hope yall are having good days as well.
03:41:58 <K> it is reasonable, apart from THE FUCKING SNOW AGAIN AOSIFJASOfu['shd9-8q23-934274

03:48:02 <rust0> thanks, but... I need something to do, that I am good at
03:49:24 <watcher> How did you get unbanned so fast?
03:49:46 <rust0> I have the auto-unban app
03:51:30 <watcher> nice
03:56:39 <K> ГЕТ БАРНЕД

04:05:42 <Ampera> hi
04:05:46 <Ampera> how are you rust0
04:06:07 <Nothing\> K, get barned?
04:06:19 <rust0> I am trying to build anger, so I can explode the office tomorrow. . should be fun
04:06:22 <Nothing\> or is that an l, i get them mixed up
04:06:22 <K> yes.
04:06:24 <Nothing\> let barned?
04:06:39 <rust0> g
04:06:46 <Nothing\> thought so
04:07:08 <Nothing\> you know cyrillic was invented so the Bible could be spread to slavic countries which had no writing systems.

04:07:31 <Nothing\> same with the script they use for the Inuit language, Inuktitut
04:07:45 <Nothing\> i didn't realize how common it was
04:08:15 <K> cyrylic borrows heavily from greek
04:08:29 <Nothing\> heh i've noticed. That made it easier to memorize actually.
04:08:34 <rust0> everyone knows inuktututkut, and many knows the sign language version too
04:08:48 <rust0> psssh
04:09:03 <Nothing\> rust0, actually there are only 30,000 native inuktitut speakers. It's a dying language :/
04:09:23 <Nothing\> although really 30,000 is basically like half the population of the northern territories of Canada
04:09:28 <rust0> yeah, but as long as you have 35 million non-native speakers, that shoudl be ok
04:09:40 <Nothing\> that is, Yukon, NWT and Nunavut
04:09:58 <Nothing\> apparently they're not provinces. I guess there's some difference between a territory and a province.
04:10:18 <rust0> yep
04:10:27 <rust0> if not, they would use the same name for them
04:10:50 <Nothing\> usually, yeah. But there are some quirks where the names of places make no sense.
04:10:59 <Nothing\> like the democratic republic of north korea
04:11:16 <Nothing\> it's not a republic and it sure as hell isn't democratic, even if they do have elections.
04:11:16 <rust0> no, that is the rule. the quirk is the things that does make sense
04:11:21 <Ampera> rust0, that sounds like fun
04:11:26 <Nothing\> indeed
04:11:28 <Ampera> I am at the office right now
04:11:48 <Nothing\> heh you know there's a city in Ontario called Moose Factory
04:11:51 <watcher> what is then the differants in germany with state provinve and Bundesstaates
04:11:53 <rust0> does that make you an officer?
04:11:59 <Nothing\> i theorize that's where all the moose come from
04:12:02 <Ampera> yes
04:12:11 <Ampera> you are under arrest for crimes against oxidization
04:12:26 <K> get reduced, fool!
04:12:33 <Nothing\> the city's just a giant factory for building moose and they've got a little conveyor belt at the end of the production line to let them out into the wild.
04:12:53 <Nothing\> watcher, haha i couldn't tell you
04:13:26 <Nothing\> i know nothing of german politics. I'm not even sure how my grandfather collected a pension from Germany like 50 years after he left
04:13:29 <Nothing\> actually 70
04:14:35 <watcher> I have always learned that it is not a state and not a province
04:14:46 <Nothing\> or how that would have even worked because the years he would have worked would have been 1945-1959 which are probably the worst years for germany economically. I wouldn't imagine he'd accrue much of a pension at that point.
04:14:56 <watcher> more like a big province or a small differant state
04:15:09 <Nothing\> and he didn't live in Germany before the War so I dunno how that works.
04:15:58 <Nothing\> watcher, i didn't even realize you had separate states and what not like that. I mean i knew you had states or provinces, but I didn't know any specifics.
04:16:19 <Nothing\> i feel i owe it to my heritage to at least learn more
04:16:31 <Nothing\> i don't even know how WWI affected my family
04:17:40 <Nothing\> on another topic, I got one of those toys that's a wand that produces high voltage to cause a foil string float
04:18:44 <Nothing\> the thing makes me so nervous around any electronics though. It's like a super static generator lol.
04:18:56 <Nothing\> it even says not to use it within a meter of anything electronic or metallic
04:19:03 <Ampera> I guess the federal republic of germany isn't obvious enough
04:20:19 <Nothing\> I was thinknig of taking one of those compact fluorescent lightbulbs and seeing if it'll light up like you see with the straight tubes underneath high tension lines.
04:20:46 <Nothing\> or seeing if I could fry an LED bulb with it
04:20:51 <watcher> I did not now the official English name for germany only the german and my german is not good enough for that
04:21:39 <Nothing\> watcher, no google translate? I find it helps a lot with things like that where you're unsure of a single word.
04:22:03 <Nothing\> not so much for more complex sentences.
04:24:02 <watcher> google translate will not always work
04:24:30 <watcher> but I just readed some wikipedia and get a little more understanding of it
04:24:46 <Ampera> watcher, I was more screaming into space at the ranting canadian. The name of the country describes its governance.
04:25:07 <Ampera> federal, as in a federation of inferior governments united under a central one
04:26:15 <watcher> there are states in Germany
04:26:45 <Ampera> Germany's governance structure is similar to the US's as I understand it.
04:26:59 <Ampera> Bicameral federation with local municipalities.
04:29:17 <Ampera> Main difference is a prime minister and sorta weird figurehead president elected by representatives
04:31:11 Quit: watcher ([email protected]) Quit: Now if you will excuse me, I have a giant ball of oil to throw out my window
04:46:59 <Nothing\> lol that's a seinfeld quote if i ever saw one "* watcher has quit (Quit: Now if you will excuse me, I have a giant ball of oil to throw out my window)"
04:47:14 <Nothing\> that was a good episode, too
04:47:32 <Nothing\> and if that's not a seinfeld quote that's a hell of a coincidence

05:36:33 <steve30> hi
05:36:48 <watcher> Hi steve30
06:15:26 <rust0> bing bong
06:19:31 <Kuschelpony> do you want to see a funny datasheet f...up? https://www.onsemi.com/pdf/datasheet/2n3773-d.pdf
06:23:31 <rust0> I am new to this... I guess I should see something weird there
06:24:53 <Kuschelpony> well the datasheet is of the NPN powert transistor 2N3773
06:25:09 <Kuschelpony> with the curves in the left halv
06:25:23 <Kuschelpony> in the right halv, there are all the curves for a PNP one
06:25:33 <rust0> ahm, yes
06:25:57 * Ampera chicken tikka masalas steve30
06:26:22 <Kuschelpony> the one older evision of the datasheet shows the matching PNP type as well https://www.bg-electronics.de/datenblaetter/Transistoren/2N3773.pdf
06:26:46 <Kuschelpony> so they killed the PNP in the header of the datasheet but left all the curves in there
06:26:49 <rust0> yes, I think they usually have that. that is a weird thing to forget
06:26:55 <steve30> mmm
06:26:59 * steve30 purrs at Ampera
06:27:05 <Ampera> tandoor naan too
06:27:13 <Ampera> (or rather will be)

06:27:51 <Ampera> oh hi rust0 thought you died
06:28:05 <rust0> yeah, but no. sorry

06:31:11 <rust0> meh, I thought is looked pretty ok, but not the best
06:31:34 <Ampera> well, you would know better than I
06:32:12 <rust0> maybe.. lots of people left me.
06:33:35 <Ampera> I wish lots of people would have left me

08:29:04 <rust0> I got them, just before christmas, lol
08:29:32 <rust0> yes, I might die, but they do taste nice
08:29:50 <rust0> different, but nice
08:29:50 <hsn> I ashamed i boxed some to Halcyon but then suffered with shipping company for sometime and then left for 4-5 months and eventually opened it and ate it all
08:30:03 <hsn> How do u know different
08:30:22 <hsn> Also thats lots of time to ship
08:30:22 <rust0> different from any kind of cookies we have here
08:30:42 <hsn> Did u try the water thingy ? With red tea?
08:30:52 <rust0> oh, but the he had to assemble a trash can box full of cool stuff for me.
08:31:06 <hsn> 2-3 drops on a red tea

08:36:57 <rust0> just wait, in what feels like 3 months, when you look back on it, but 14 years, while you are there, it will be running around, and throwing balls after his dad.
08:37:17 <rust0> or rocks, depends on the mom
08:38:02 <hsn> By that time i probably have 2 death wishes
08:38:23 <rust0> one for the mother in law, and one for...
08:39:08 <hsn> Mother in law? Why
08:39:13 <hsn> She loves me
08:39:17 <rust0> it is the law?
08:39:20 <rust0> well
08:39:38 <rust0> she might, but... do you?
08:39:45 <hsn> Yeah
08:39:52 <hsn> She is cool
08:39:54 <rust0> strange
08:40:37 <hsn> Not all mother in law are evil i guess
08:40:55 <hsn> If wife is evil mother in law loves u
08:41:06 <rust0> no, but you do not have to like someone, just because they are not evil?
08:41:21 <rust0> and, yes, that can be a thing
08:41:49 <rust0> makes sense. my mominlaw is pretty ok too
08:42:05 <hsn> Yeah but many times here at least u hear problems between husband's mother and wife
08:42:30 <hsn> Not the other way .. its always woman and woman
08:42:33 <hsn> :)
08:42:41 <rust0> perfect!

08:50:06 <Ampera> hello hsn how are you
08:54:17 <rust0> Ampera you are into tea things. do you know this red tea, he is talking about?

08:54:48 <Ampera> it's not actually tea
08:54:55 <Ampera> it's "tea"
08:55:13 <Ampera> someone common in arabia, I have a friend in KSA who drinks it on occasion iirc
08:55:21 <rust0> oh, that. ehm
08:55:24 <Ampera> *somewhat
08:56:57 <rust0> well, I can steal that at work, just to try
08:57:10 <Ampera> I might have some
08:57:12 <Ampera> but I've never tried it
09:01:32 <rust0> so, I have some of this stuff, that he says I should try with the red tea: https://alkamelfactory.mallats.com/en/Product.aspx?InvMasterId=21468&ServiceId=xKO6iRdX5y0EQUAL

10:18:30 <Halcyon> Hey T3sl4...
10:18:45 <T3sl4> straw
10:19:24 <Halcyon> In your experience with networking gear, are there usually surface mount fuses or similar to protect the ethernet side of things? A mate of mine has an expensive router that "blew up" in a storm the other day, everything else works except the ethernet switch is dead.
10:20:34 <T3sl4> can't say i've seen many with them
10:21:21 <T3sl4> but i also haven't opened many
10:21:23 <Halcyon> Hmmm bugger. I'll get him to bring it around so I can have a look anyway
10:22:37 <Ampera> afaik ethernet stuff tends to be optically isolated
10:22:42 <Ampera> either that or telephony stuff
10:22:44 <Ampera> one of them
10:23:10 <electrohead> when it comes to ethernet, there is always isolation
10:23:12 <Halcyon> Yeh not sure.
10:23:37 <T3sl4> seems likely a surge that blows the fuses takes out the PHY anyway
10:23:39 <Halcyon> electrohead, I'm assuming that that's the reason it didn't kill the rest of the router
10:23:45 <electrohead> exactly
10:24:03 <electrohead> well, for the most part
10:24:04 <Halcyon> I'm just wondering if it's something that can be easily fixed. Replacement for that router is about $2k
10:24:18 <electrohead> how much is he willing to spend, to fix it?
10:24:28 <Ampera> who the hell spends 2 grand on a router
10:24:35 <Halcyon> Ampera. me and him :P
10:24:40 <Ampera> you're fucking idiots
10:24:41 <Halcyon> It's the Netgate 7100
10:24:51 <Halcyon> It was $1600 but it has gone up in price
10:25:29 <electrohead> Halcyon: tell your mate to get high res pictures of the PCB, and send them to you, to send to me
10:25:38 <Halcyon> It's an enterprise router/firewall Ampera, that's actually quite cheap
10:25:45 <Ampera> uhuh
10:25:52 <T3sl4> depends if the surge was slow enough for the transformer to deal with or just popped it on sight
10:25:52 <Halcyon> electrohead, he lives 20 mins away, he is going to come up here
10:25:53 <Ampera> enterprise being codeword for suckers
10:26:05 <Halcyon> No, enterprise being enterprise
10:26:05 <electrohead> oh ok
10:26:14 <Halcyon> "Gaming router" is for suckers
10:26:18 <electrohead> lol
10:27:03 <Ampera> 2 grand on an "enterprise" router makes 200 dollars on a water boiler look like a sane financial decision :D
10:27:08 <Halcyon> T3sl4, the ethernet transformer is that black rectangle thing, right?

10:27:58 <Halcyon> That kind of thingy
10:28:11 <electrohead> looks like I'm not helping out anymore
10:28:24 <Halcyon> You are electrohead
10:28:27 <electrohead> :P
10:28:31 <Halcyon> You know more about this shit than I do
10:28:33 * electrohead beers Halcyon with beers
10:28:37 <Halcyon> Hahah
10:28:45 * electrohead strips naked and runs in circles
10:28:50 <electrohead> look, it's pointing to the right
10:28:57 <electrohead> nah I'm just being a total goofball
10:29:08 <Halcyon> Why is it rigid though electrohead ?
10:29:21 <electrohead> Halcyon: I'm somewhat back to normal, btw, today; dude yesterday sucked ass
10:29:32 <Halcyon> Nawww
10:29:35 <electrohead> I kept forgetting shit I did 5 minutes prior, guh
10:30:59 <electrohead> joking aside though - so if it *is* the (isolation) transformer, check for continuity; if you don't get continuity between the respective pins, then you know it's blown
10:32:35 <electrohead> heh, just looking at that link you posted: lol @ "Support remote DC power feeding by PoE/PoE+"
10:32:58 * electrohead feeds DC into T3sl4
10:33:28 <T3sl4> Halcyon, if it's not integrated in the connector it's probably that, yes
10:34:29 <T3sl4> ye, depends on type, PoE isn't for everything
10:34:45 <T3sl4> well, that family i guess does, but..

13:25:41 <Halcyon> I'm back sorry, was testing stuff
13:46:33 <MrMobodies> Hello
13:46:42 <MrMobodies> I was down the pubhouse today
13:47:15 <MrMobodies> I was talking about the possibility of ingesting posionous mushrooms by mistake
13:47:24 <MrMobodies> and loosing your liver
13:47:32 <MrMobodies> as they were talking about picking them
13:47:48 <MrMobodies> one of them said to me "You think too far... to the worst case scenario"
13:48:36 <MrMobodies> "You have got to stop... you are making yourself and us ill talking like that everytime you come here... you got to learn to relax..."
13:49:26 <MrMobodies> maybe it is something to do with my paranoia
13:49:27 <arch> Halcyon, i had about a year or two ago fixed one of my NAS-es that had a burnt out GbE ethernet controller. it simply involves desoldering and soldering in a replacement. the IC got burnt out from a power surge
13:49:49 <arch> the chip was a QFN64 package, so it was rather painstaking
13:50:07 <MrMobodies> I guess it didn't affect anything else?
13:50:19 <arch> the ethernet controller also has its own firmware, located on an SPI flash chip nearby (typically)
13:50:56 <MrMobodies> aah so that could be affected too
14:01:47 * electrohead beers jaymax and MrMobodies

14:02:41 <electrohead> lol
14:02:53 <electrohead> I'm still trying to think of how to do the !film thing
14:02:56 <electrohead> maybe a counter?

15:10:27 <arch> Halcyon, did you see my response about the QFN64 IC replacement
15:11:17 <Halcyon> I di dnot
15:11:37 <Halcyon> Oh right
15:11:55 <Halcyon> Looks like the entire switch is dead on that router
15:12:03 <arch> <arch> Halcyon, i had about a year or two ago fixed one of my NAS-es that had a burnt out GbE ethernet controller. it simply involves desoldering and soldering in a replacement. the IC got burnt out from a power surge
15:12:18 <arch> oh i thought it was the controller
15:12:19 <Halcyon> But the SFP+ ports were spared
15:12:38 <Halcyon> So the work around is to use the SFP ports for WAN/LAN trunk
15:13:24 <arch> T3sl4, your website still says 2022 :p (as does mine. im lazy)
15:15:00 <electrohead> mine's updated :P
15:15:04 <electrohead> in the source code, heh

20:11:21 <K> getting goated
20:13:12 <Ysjoelfir> hi
20:13:26 <Ysjoelfir> K, could you please make my lab and office not stinky?
20:14:13 <K> what kind of stink?
20:14:18 <MrMobodies> Greta?
20:14:42 <MrMobodies> ooh not Greta Thunberg is it?
20:15:00 <K> nothing wrong w Greta
20:15:38 <K> at least she does no go around spilling pumpkin soup on paintings or gluing herself to pavement
20:15:39 <MrMobodies> no I hear she's means well for the good of the environment
20:16:06 <Ysjoelfir> Greta stink is nasty, but I got a brand new nice chinese FOAK ZEE (or was it a YEEEEEEEEEHHUAAAAAA!!!! ?) 858D hot air thingemajig. connected it, switched it on, it started to sizzle, than started smoking violently, power went off in the lab and I had this red hot glowing smoking thing in my hand, standing in the dark lab, not knowing where I could put that to open a window
20:16:07 <MrMobodies> and speaks out about the pollution and the climate change
20:16:50 <MrMobodies> Aoyue 858D?
20:16:54 <K> blew th fuses ?
20:17:00 <K> nice!

20:17:49 <Ysjoelfir> might have also been a AOOOO YUUUUUU, yes, but I think it was a FUCK ZEE or whatever. good thing though, now I know that the smoke detectors are working as well as the alarm system does. which is not at all.
20:18:09 <K> pfft
20:18:18 <K> the fuses do work though
20:18:24 <Ysjoelfir> yep, they do
20:18:30 <K> at least you have that
20:18:44 <Ysjoelfir> yeah, I have a big fuse panel in the males toilet
20:18:55 <Ysjoelfir> (don't ask why its there, I have no idea)
20:18:57 <K> not sure smoke alarms trigger on that kind of smoke though
20:19:19 <Ysjoelfir> they do, at least mine at home does
20:19:26 <K> ah.

21:06:20 <MrMobodies> I am little disturb after last night
21:07:01 <MrMobodies> at the local pubhouse the barman and some usual goers were talking to me about willies and all sorts of strange things
21:07:15 <MrMobodies> they say they wake up in the morning and their willy is long every morning
21:07:28 <MrMobodies> they asked how long is mine
21:07:38 <MrMobodies> look it is always small
21:07:56 <MrMobodies> and they said they can't control theirs
21:08:13 <MrMobodies> I think they were joking as usual
21:08:29 <MrMobodies> I said it is something you use to go to toilet and impregnate people with
21:08:35 <MrMobodies> nothing special about it
21:08:47 <MrMobodies> and they were laughing with this mocking attitude
21:09:04 <MrMobodies> the barman seems to have obsession for that sort of thing
21:09:28 <MrMobodies> he has a keywords of "tits boobs and so on" and the customers would tell him to shut up and serve
21:09:37 <MrMobodies> and he would grin
21:09:50 <MrMobodies> they'd say it in comical way
21:10:04 <MrMobodies> and when I talk about things
21:10:29 <MrMobodies> "Enough of that you are becoming too technical"
21:10:49 <MrMobodies> "and we can't understand a word you are saying and we don't want to know"
21:11:08 <MrMobodies> followed by "It's time for you to get drunk"
21:11:45 <MrMobodies> I don't enjoy getting drunk they seem to do it as a means of becoming happy within themselves
21:12:17 <MrMobodies> do you think that is normal?
21:12:29 <MrMobodies> in the city pubs they are different
21:13:11 <MrMobodies> you get the yobs but the people who serve seem quiet and don't say things that are strange to me
21:14:22 <MrMobodies> I brought up a subject about horror films as I enjoy them and one thought I was given proper parental guidance despite me explaining it is only acting it is not real.
21:14:56 <MrMobodies> Apparently they don't like horror stuff and said they get scared.
21:15:15 <MrMobodies> sometimes I feel a little left out
21:16:39 <K> try a different pub
21:24:17 <Ysjoelfir> definitely
21:25:04 <MrMobodies> there is one across the road and last time I went they seem unfriendly, loud and aggressive
21:25:10 <MrMobodies> this pub seems friendly
21:25:16 <MrMobodies> but they don't sound serious
21:25:23 <MrMobodies> like the barman is drunk
21:25:28 <MrMobodies> but the landlady is serious
21:25:33 <MrMobodies> when she is around
21:25:41 <MrMobodies> she lives upstairs

21:26:20 <Ysjoelfir> I don't recall ever being to a pub.
21:26:29 <MrMobodies> it isn't a proper pub
21:26:40 <MrMobodies> just a little village place
21:26:53 <Ysjoelfir> I don't recall ever being to any sort of bar or place where people meet
21:26:57 <MrMobodies> with a small bar where most of the villagers
21:27:07 <MrMobodies> and they do each other favours and that
21:27:28 <Greta> Where everybody knows your name.
21:27:35 <MrMobodies> I go there to read the the newspaper
21:28:00 <MrMobodies> and ask them their opinions about the politicians in the newpaper
21:29:45 Quit: Greta ([email protected]) Quit: Connection closed
21:30:45 <MrMobodies> last night: "I don't want to know about them, they are all a bunch of c*nts" "Where we had those who were in communities and certain businesses they are now all career politicians who are just after money."
21:31:15 <MrMobodies> "and all the good ones retired decades ago"
21:31:58 <MrMobodies> it's nice to go out
21:32:08 <MrMobodies> but nothing going in the town centre
21:32:21 <MrMobodies> not many shops open and pretty boring to me
21:32:44 <MrMobodies> but I am hoping sometime at that local pub
21:33:00 <MrMobodies> they'll get the stereo speaks out (300w Peaveys)
21:33:25 <MrMobodies> and I can put the sound stuff with the Sound Retrieval system and do some show and tell
21:33:30 <MrMobodies> just before the disco starts
21:33:38 <Ysjoelfir> that sounds fun
21:34:00 <MrMobodies> I did some work for the bar last year and he asked what do I want in return
21:34:14 <MrMobodies> I said" on my birthday I want to experiment with your speakers"
21:34:21 <MrMobodies> the big speakers not the little pod thing
21:34:32 <MrMobodies> and that quickly turned into a disco that night
21:35:02 <MrMobodies> and they ended up shutting at about 12:30am in the morning instead of the 10:30.
21:35:05 <MrMobodies> they loved the sound
21:35:22 <MrMobodies> the dad brought in the wrong amp and I was about to leave until he changed his mind
21:35:29 <MrMobodies> it was a mono amp for a different speaker set
21:35:36 <MrMobodies> and the cable for the other was broke
