00:02:02 <steve30> I asked on a fetish site whether anyone thinks i should go to a gay pride wearing latex this year
00:02:20 <steve30> Someone replied to say yes :p
00:03:15 <jaymax> Lithography neon comes from the Ukraine and Russia? I kinda recall watr being the chokepoint Halcyon.
00:03:52 <coppice> Halcyon: because the idea we are overfishing is a lie, and the excess fish we have need more chips to go with them
00:04:49 <Halcyon> I see
00:06:12 Quit: Putin ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
00:07:00 <jaymax> Chips so light though. Maybe ease up on the fries instead?
00:08:39 <jaymax> Not a problem here in Canukistan, but if you order fish and chips in Murica (Iowa in particular), you get the batter-fried fish with a bag of Lays.
00:09:20 <Halcyon> There are still plenty of potats/chips here
00:09:28 <Halcyon> Haven't run into an issue buying them
00:10:20 <Halcyon> The media keep running the odd article, but *shrug*
00:10:55 <jaymax> The province of Prince Edward Island is potat-central. Would feed all of North America but often not allowed across the border.
00:12:12 <jaymax> Any potat-lover should consider being an Islander. If so, I may visit once a year. :^)
00:12:37 <jaymax> Bring a more-balanced diet.
00:15:33 <jaymax> Even nearby/here on the mainland, the choice is 50lbs of potat or two gallons of milk.

00:49:47 <steve31> I'll do huffyuv instead, that's quicker than x264
00:51:14 <steve31> Its always sucky when libre software works fine on Windows but doesn't on Linux
00:53:47 <Halcyon> I should go to bed

00:58:33 <jaymax> No but I could do that instead since I had only woke up a few hours ago.
00:58:37 * jaymax films
00:59:02 <Halcyon> Hahah
00:59:15 <Halcyon> Well on that note, I'm off to bed.
00:59:16 <steve31> video rendered sucessfully

02:19:44 <Ysjoelfir> K, rust5 has a task for you
02:20:13 <K> oh?
02:21:14 <K> what task would that be, Ysjoelfir?
02:21:34 <Ysjoelfir> yes. you need to make some of these yellog translucent plastic rulers with metal edges, but not with letters in them, but instead with PCB symbols, like DIP packages and stuff
02:22:21 <K> o_O
02:23:12 <K> maybe it is the late coffee kicking in sideways, but i do not get it
02:24:22 <Ysjoelfir> like these. https://www.amazon.com/ToolUSA-Plastic-Number-Letter-Shapes/dp/B00VUGNEDI

02:25:11 <Ysjoelfir> however, rust5 says, thats a project for you, so there. fo gor it. while I fo to home now.
02:26:08 <K> i see.

02:31:20 <coppice> most stencils for schematics were green, although a lot of other technical drawing stencils from people like Rotring were orange
02:35:45 <K> eeh, do not tink ussr manufacutrers were big on western color schemes for rulers
02:40:24 <coppice> well, a lot of colours are really bad for clarity, so only a few make good choices
02:42:15 <K> the more i think more i remember it being light pink

11:17:43 <electrohead> Holy shit
11:18:14 * T3sl4 crashes a beer into electrohead's face
11:18:37 * electrohead accepts graciously
11:19:04 <MrMobodies> Someone told me this joke
11:19:31 <T3sl4> electrohead: organ donor decided today would be the day, i guess
11:19:50 <MrMobodies> "tell me about thing that looks like a whale, but as it gets older turns into a snail"
11:19:59 <electrohead> T3sl4: heh, yeah man
11:20:05 <MrMobodies> I have no clue what he was one about
11:20:06 <electrohead> he flipped fast, and stopped fast
11:20:37 <MrMobodies> all he said was aftee smirking that it was a body part
11:21:09 <MrMobodies> he normally does that anyway
11:21:10 <MrMobodies> the barman
11:21:19 <MrMobodies> yesterday
11:21:25 <MrMobodies> I mena Sunday
11:21:42 <T3sl4> idunno, is it the [moby] dick? :P
11:21:52 <MrMobodies> not sure
11:21:57 <MrMobodies> I hate it when they do that though
11:22:06 <MrMobodies> say stuff and jokes that i don't understand
11:22:15 <MrMobodies> then refusing at most time to explain it
11:22:18 <MrMobodies> so I feel left out
11:22:32 <MrMobodies> they said if they have to explain jokes
11:22:37 <MrMobodies> it would ruin it for everyone else
11:22:40 <electrohead> T3sl4: lol
11:23:01 <MrMobodies> it is a bit unfair considering i always explain mine
11:23:34 <T3sl4> so your jokes are never funny
11:23:44 <MrMobodies> I said, a manager walks into a firm, says to everyone in the office that, we're going to be needing new firmware in this office, so therefore you are all FIRED!"
11:24:01 <MrMobodies> only one person understood it
11:24:10 <MrMobodies> he is a software developer at Anglian water
11:24:43 <MrMobodies> sometimes they liked one or two but not often
11:25:21 <MrMobodies> I want to find an England restaurant run by Chinese people
11:25:31 <MrMobodies> whod cook British foods
11:25:43 <MrMobodies> I go in there and ask for "a Chinglish breakfast"
11:25:54 <MrMobodies> they say "you mean English breakfast"
11:26:09 <MrMobodies> "No a Chinglish! breakfast
11:26:21 <MrMobodies> to see if they'd take offense and kick me out
11:26:52 <MrMobodies> mind you I wouldn't know what a Chinglish breakfast would look like
11:27:49 <MrMobodies> oh the last joke they were talking about included lesians and gays
11:27:57 <MrMobodies> and i couldn't understand that one too
11:28:20 <MrMobodies> they were asking me, does he look gay. I said How I am I suppose to know.
11:28:48 <MrMobodies> then they start talking about fights on the village green
11:29:06 <MrMobodies> talking of the village green and i am looking forward to this
11:29:20 <MrMobodies> I got my toy car down from the garage
11:29:45 <MrMobodies> and found this

11:36:37 <MrMobodies> but Id like to change the controller as it is one these joystick things
11:36:48 <electrohead> who wants some IGBT goodness?
11:36:48 <MrMobodies> Its an Emaxx Traxxes I got in 2006

11:37:09 <electrohead> may have shown this here already? I forget, my apologies
11:37:10 <MrMobodies> I want to put crisps in the back and see if the pub dog will race it
11:37:16 <electrohead> was showing that to someone else, figured I'd post it here
11:37:33 <MrMobodies> acring

11:39:50 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/JDzZnfq.png
11:40:53 <electrohead> that IGBT was rated for .. I think 200A?
11:40:54 <electrohead> lol
11:41:06 <T3sl4> sounds about right
11:41:09 <electrohead> motor failure == short circuit == BOOM
11:42:10 <MrMobodies> Joke: I think Photonicinduction can do better
11:42:29 <T3sl4> an electroboomhead
11:42:30 <electrohead> it's been a year since he uploaded a video :/
11:42:30 <MrMobodies> bring it to life with a high voltage
11:42:49 <MrMobodies> oh and electroboom can be in the middle
11:42:50 <electrohead> here's another damaged board, sadly I don't have a lot of pictures - https://0xznc01.pw:2600/public/IMG_20221109_112559.jpg

11:45:18 <T3sl4> what, is the supply 400V or something?
11:45:33 <electrohead> roughly, yeah
11:45:40 <T3sl4> unfused?
11:46:01 <electrohead> both of those jobs, yeah the units were unfused, for .. whatever reason?
11:46:05 <T3sl4> like, last time i needed a little PoL from that, i used a fusible resistor to separate it from the big-amps bus
11:46:17 <electrohead> the blown IGBT was a complete different unit, different customer
11:46:37 <electrohead> I just fix the shit, load test, and send it back
11:46:38 <electrohead> lol
11:46:46 <T3sl4> huh, those TNY are DIP package but gull wing lead form
11:47:01 <T3sl4> they make em in SO too, i forgot / didn't know they made that kind
11:47:17 <electrohead> yeah they do
11:47:29 <electrohead> man half the time, it's a bitch tracking down older parts like that
11:47:42 <T3sl4> you can get anything, for the right price
11:47:44 <electrohead> we usually get lucky, but then there are times where .. well, we have to resort to fucking ebay
11:48:36 <electrohead> then other times, like today actually, we ordered two DS12887A's from mouser - one of them had a bad battery
11:48:45 <T3sl4> lol
11:49:00 <electrohead> I was slamming my face off the table, decided to swap it with the old DS12887A ...
11:49:05 <electrohead> no more checksum errors
11:49:07 <electrohead> AHHHH

11:50:28 <electrohead> I'm still trying to push this on a bunch of our customers
11:53:21 <T3sl4> i think most of the single chip regulators like those are compatible with the basic hardware (transformer etc), they may vary with feedback/sense and of course pinout tho
11:54:28 <electrohead> I just wish there were better replacements for the older battery backed RAM chips
11:54:40 <electrohead> we deal with a lot of them
11:54:49 <T3sl4> yep
12:28:31 <arch> hi
12:33:10 <electrohead> !beer arch

12:53:24 <electrohead> o.O
12:53:26 <electrohead> nein!
12:54:22 * T3sl4 adds beer taps to the trap femboy fembot nipples
12:54:40 <T3sl4> ...wait, if it's trap femboy, is that just tomboy?
12:55:34 <electrohead> rofl.
12:57:37 <Ampera> T3sl4: femboy is inverse of tomboy
12:57:40 <arch> T3sl4, https://i.redd.it/aled41esb6491.jpg
12:57:41 <T3sl4> also. tap trap?

12:57:49 <Ampera> also I am somehow alive
12:58:12 <Ampera> Nothing like a good case of food poisoning to make one question god
12:58:23 <T3sl4> i suppose where femboy is slutty, tomboy is conservative in dress?
12:58:34 <T3sl4> so, inverse, not complementary
12:58:44 * T3sl4 stabs Ampera to fix that
12:59:17 <Ampera> tomboy is girl/woman that acts stereotypically masculine, where femboy is boy/man that acts stereotypically feminine
12:59:28 <Ampera> but tomboy is still female, femboy still male
12:59:51 <T3sl4> i suppose it doesn't have to be slutty
12:59:54 <Ampera> sluttiness not required, but anything is possible if your anime fantasy is fucked up enough
12:59:56 <T3sl4> but it often is
12:59:57 <T3sl4> !lenny
12:59:57 <EEVBot> (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞

13:15:54 <jaymax> >
13:15:54 <jaymax> > but tomboy is still female, femboy still male
13:15:54 <jaymax> When I was growing up, there was no femboy. Only momma's boy.
13:16:47 <jaymax> Or also tomgirl.
13:20:02 <jaymax> Thailand ladyboys were a King of the Hill joke.
13:23:59 <electrohead> Lol
13:24:20 <electrohead> I've experienced a lady-boy once in my lifetime, hopefully never again.
13:25:57 <jaymax> I don't believe I have. I'd say the irony isn't lost on me but I don't care either way.
13:27:10 <T3sl4> jaymax, is that chahknees or japaknees
13:27:32 <jaymax> Yes.
13:29:45 <jaymax> Being scared of accidentally having those encounters is the stuff of brainlet-college-kids and closet-case-MAGAs.
13:33:13 <jaymax> One-night-stand propositions simply fall under the "too good to be true" category for me. I've already lost organs - no need to lose more.

20:15:19 <Halcyon> Hahahahah actually, funny you should say that, a group of my friends made it into this weird cookbook of submitted recipes and one time when they were having a boys weekend away, they made a Pie Pie
20:15:47 <Halcyon> They bought frozen supermarket pies of all different flavours and cooked them in an oven tray encased with additional pastry
20:16:10 <Halcyon> It was a half-joke, but they submitted it into a book and it made it in
20:45:08 <K> pie pie pie

20:58:55 <Ysjoelfir> that pie pie pie sounds nice :D I would want to try that. also, storm.... nice! I would love that. over here they promised us arctic snow around wednesday. it was around 0 the last 3 days, tomorrow it will have around 5.
21:02:34 <K> 5 snow
21:02:37 <K> damn
21:05:14 <Ampera> good morning
21:05:25 <Ampera> I feel like I entered a time warp
21:05:44 <Ampera> about 36hrs since I first got food poisoned :)
21:06:05 * Ampera hugs Halcyon
21:08:16 * Halcyon licks Ampera
21:08:26 <Halcyon> Just had a massive thunder
21:08:29 <Halcyon> It's closeeee
21:09:35 <Ampera> we had about 6-8 inches of snow yesterday
21:14:47 <Ysjoelfir> K - 5 degrees. but yes. I would love to have 5 snows
21:18:59 * Ampera whacks Ysjoelfir with a snow shovel
21:19:02 <Ampera> then you clean it up
21:19:24 * Ysjoelfir pees on Ampera's shovel to clean it up
21:19:55 <Ampera> how are you doing Ysjoelfir
21:33:55 <Halcyon> Well that was short-lived. Some bit thuds, lots of lightning some hail and a fuckload of rain
21:34:00 <Halcyon> Seems to have gone around me
21:35:02 <Ampera> your face was short-lived
21:36:15 * Halcyon slaps Ampera before having a fondle
21:36:36 <Ampera> if food poisoning were contagious, I'd share mine with you right now <3
21:36:53 <Halcyon> You still sick? You poor thing.
21:37:02 <Halcyon> Did you identify the culprit?
21:37:05 <Ampera> clams
21:37:06 <Ampera> fucking clams
21:37:19 <Ampera> don't trust someone else to do up raw clams for you
21:43:38 <Halcyon> I didn't trust you when you first mentioned them
21:43:57 <Ampera> They can be a risk, but if you know what you're doing, they can also be okay
21:44:04 <Ampera> they need to be alive when you eat them.
21:44:17 <Halcyon> The only time I'll eat raw meat is if they are prepared by a professional chef.
21:44:23 <Halcyon> I don't even trust myself to do it properly
21:44:31 <Ampera> This was at a restaurant
21:44:39 <Halcyon> Oh.
21:44:44 <Halcyon> That's awkward then.
21:44:54 <Ampera> I've done them myself and didn't get sick
21:45:17 <Ampera> When you put them in water, if you tap them and they close, they're alive
21:45:23 <Ampera> out of water, if they open too easily, they're dead
21:45:29 <Ampera> if they're very hard to open, then they're still alive
21:45:58 <Halcyon> Yeh but it's more than just dead/alive. They can still carry bacteria depending on where they are from and how they've been stored.
21:46:12 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
21:46:17 <Halcyon> Oh the chef didn't wash his hands when he pooped *shrug*
21:46:19 <Halcyon> *or
21:46:25 <Ampera> it's the general wisdom as I've been told it
21:46:30 <Ampera> and has worked fine for me in the past
21:46:37 <Ampera> Smell can also be an indicator, but these smelled fine
21:46:51 <Ampera> My brother only had one (I had the other 5), and he got sick too
21:46:59 <Ampera> so it's possible all 6 were bad somehow
21:47:08 <Halcyon> Smell is a tricky one, you need a fairly sensitive nose and even then it's a bit risky.
21:47:13 <Halcyon> Just depends, so many variables.
22:01:38 <jaymax> If boiling the hell out of them doesn't open them, they're absolutely bad clams.
22:02:43 <jaymax> At least (maybe) it's well out of season for red tide.
22:08:34 <jaymax> Here in salty Nova Scotia, any month that does not have the letter "r" in it, is a month with red tide risk (May, June, July, August). Adjust accordingly.

22:44:59 <electrohead> Do it.
22:49:08 Join: coppice ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
23:02:52 <Ysjoelfir> whats the problem with being sick 2 days in a row?
23:03:22 <Ysjoelfir> checking at my record last year, when I was sick, it was almost always 3 days.
23:08:23 <coppice> how often do you get sick each year?
23:08:54 <Ampera> Ysjoelfir, idk, I very rarely get sick
23:09:06 <Ampera> this might be the first time in 3 years I've been sick two days in a row
23:09:57 <Ampera> It used to be we only got five days of sick time a year. They've since merged that into a general PTO pool with all of my time off
23:10:38 <Ysjoelfir> last year it was 3 times. 2 times for 3 days, once for 2 weeks. besides that the occasional "I developed a headache and mr. boss sent me home to rest" days. And some half days for your regular checkups at the doctors. And 2 days to care for the little one when she was sick.
23:12:10 Quit: DHess_US ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 121 seconds
23:12:30 <Ysjoelfir> all in all, it was roughly 18 days give or take last year. calculated over all (work)days thats roughly 8 to 9 percent per year, which is almost half of the regular amount in my job, so I would say, I am not that often sick.
23:12:49 <coppice> Most years I have zero days off sick. I arrange most doctors visits for things that won't keep off work out of working hours
23:14:36 <Ysjoelfir> Why would I do that? if I say "sure, give me an appointment whenever you want" I get one in 2 weeks. If I say "please only outside of work hours" I have to wait half a year or even longer in some cases
23:15:46 Join: DHess_US ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
23:17:05 <coppice> something about my problems being mine, and not something to impose on other people
23:19:22 <Ysjoelfir> If I go to the orthopedic to look for my back pain that I got because I work on a pc all day, I think I don't impose my PERSONAL problems on other people. Or if I get a headache because my neck muscles get sore after working on the laptop for hours.
23:19:45 <Ysjoelfir> sure, there are things, like the dentist, that don't have reasons that come from working
23:19:56 <Ampera> I have never used all 5 sick days in a year
23:20:20 <Ampera> here, getting sick is frowned upon, so we just prefer not to do it
23:20:23 <Ampera> it makes things easier
23:20:59 <Ysjoelfir> but one has to take into account the huge sum of money we pay for our insurances, that also pay for my sick leave days. so.... over here its totally fine if you use what you pay for
23:21:15 <Ampera> my health insurance is free
23:21:54 <Ysjoelfir> mine is not. its almost 20% from my income (before tax), and the same amount again from my employer.
23:23:58 <Ysjoelfir> and I think its a very bad thing to frown upon people being sick. I had that in 2 companies, which both went bankrupt as the people got so pissed about getting bad comments from the bosses because they got sick that they decided to quit. getting sick is somethign natural that you cna't avoid. but you can avoid risking other peoples health by not going to work when you are sick
23:25:14 <Ysjoelfir> (and yep, I know, different countries, different culture. its fine, but I am happy that its totally ok to be sick here)
23:26:29 <Ampera> nah I am only half joking
23:26:42 <Ampera> I work the kind of job where it is okay to get sick a few days a year
23:26:56 <coppice> sick leave tends to be one of the most infectious things. once one person takes some, a lot more do
23:27:01 <Ampera> so I am allowed to get sick, so long as I keep it to a minimum
23:29:23 <coppice> The setup in a lot of US companies is really messed up. People are highly reluctant to take their properly allotted amount of annual leave. That's really messed up.
23:31:21 <Ampera> no it
23:31:29 <Ampera> 's okay. You just need to give advanced notice that you will be sick
23:31:36 <Ampera> then it's acceptable
23:32:13 <Halcyon> How can you give advance notice of being sick?
23:32:19 <coppice> I'm not talking about sick leave. I'm talking about vacation days
23:32:44 <Ysjoelfir> don't you plan when you want to be sick, Halcyon?
23:32:52 <Halcyon> I never want to be sick
23:33:32 <Halcyon> Coppice: Sorry I came in part-way through the conversation, what do you mean?
23:34:00 <Ampera> Halcyon, by telling your employer a week or two in advance for when you plan to be sick
23:34:03 <Ampera> it's only courteous
23:34:14 <Halcyon> :P
23:34:41 <coppice> Ampera: there are many employees who could actually tell you two weeks in advance when they will be taking sick leave
23:34:58 <Halcyon> Really?
23:35:09 <Halcyon> How is that legal?
23:35:27 <coppice> Ampera: and I'm not just referring to women who will take a day off every 28 days
23:36:42 <Ampera> Halcyon, what could be illegal about telling your boss something
23:37:18 <coppice> Ampera: they might not have security clearance to hear it
23:37:32 <Halcyon> I mean, the requirement to give them advance notice of being sick
23:37:49 <Halcyon> Disregard, I misread.
23:37:49 <coppice> Ampera: it gets awkward when you do secure work and that happens.
23:37:59 <Halcyon> I should stop reading multiple things at once
23:39:15 <Halcyon> Sick leave is one of those things, some people will abuse it, and there is little to nothing employers can do. It's discrimination otherwise. They may require you to provide evidence (like a medical certificate) but any Doctor will write one of those for any reason you give them.
23:39:48 <Ampera> if I could get up and drive to the doctor's to get a sick note, I could drive into work
23:39:56 <Ampera> it's far easier to just tell your work ahead of time
23:39:59 <Halcyon> In the cops, there are cases (and I know several personally) of people going on long-term sick because they are "stressed"
23:40:04 <Ampera> that way you don't have to worry about this
23:40:14 <Halcyon> And they just burn through their entitlements, then when they run out, they seek workers compensation
23:40:26 <Halcyon> And by long-term, I mean months to years
23:40:39 <coppice> Halcyon: this gets really messy. If someone is off a lot their job performance is clearly poor. However, people have huge reluctance to rate people that way, so abusers tend to be rewarded
23:41:09 <Halcyon> You can get online appointments Ampera
23:41:13 <Ampera> Halcyon, That's what you get for sponsoring communism
23:41:34 <Ampera> if I could get up and work a computer enough to see a doctor, I could do work
23:41:39 <Halcyon> But regardless, if you are "well enough" to drive to a doctor, doesn't mean you are well enough to perform at work (or should even be at work in case you spread your shit to others)
23:41:58 <Ampera> idk, is food poisoning contagious?
23:42:00 <coppice> Halcyon: there are government jobs in the UK that have "stress leave" entitlements which are huge. Just how stressful can a job be if you can be away from it a lot of the time?
23:42:05 <Ampera> I'm debating if I should go into the office tomorrow
23:42:10 <jaymax> Because having no access to a doctor certasinly isn't communism right?
23:42:29 <Ampera> jaymax, you have to earn the right to get sick, obviously
23:42:39 <Halcyon> To be fair, this whole 9-5, 5 days a week thing is a bit bullshit.
23:42:48 <jaymax> Or the doctor is also the town gunsmith.
23:42:51 <Halcyon> In Government we used to get 6 weeks recreational leave a year
23:43:09 <jaymax> That is, the ionly guy in town with a gun.
23:43:22 <jaymax> 10 cent treatments.
23:43:23 <Halcyon> In private sector I get 4 weeks, but also every public holiday off. Plus we get a "free" day every month where we can not just turn up "because"
23:43:38 <coppice> Halcyon: the whole hours measurement thing is just a lousy substitute for the harder issue of genuinely measuring productivity
23:43:46 <Halcyon> Correct

23:44:55 <Halcyon> Although taking Government out of the picture, not all private sector is built equally
23:45:05 <Halcyon> Depends on the orgaisation/upper management
23:45:15 <Halcyon> Some probably still use the old punch cards
23:45:50 <Halcyon> I am extremely fortunate to work for a company that doesn't measure performance in hours
23:46:14 <jaymax> I am extremely fortunate to work for a company that doesn't measure performance with spring scales.
