00:08:33 <K> "A" in the back row?
00:09:48 <coppice> Who needs reliable buses when there is plenty of space to park in Bus Lane
00:10:32 <K> bussees just be robbin yerr tax monies!
00:10:33 <steve30000> nah, the I in LITY
00:10:52 <K> ah
00:40:10 * steve30000 is attempting to adjust the back tension on a VTR
00:40:30 <T3sl4> steve be bussin
00:41:26 * arch puts molten solder down T3sl4's pants
00:41:55 <T3sl4> not my sussying iron
01:11:48 <coppice> arch: that sounds a bit Game of Thrones
01:16:42 <arch> never seen it
01:16:44 <arch> i dont watch tv
01:19:43 <steve30000> Someone has put a temporary bus stop 1ft away from the normal bus stop
01:25:04 * Ampera slaps people with a fillet of salmon
01:25:19 <Ampera> I have a mighty hunger
01:26:32 <coppice> Ampera: you need a plateful of cow pie
01:27:11 <Ampera> Can pate chinois substitute?
01:27:52 <jaymax> steve30000: what's with the ELE flag behind you?
01:28:05 <jaymax> Whose joke was this?
01:38:40 <Ampera> I have never been more frustrated and pissed off at an operating system than with macOS
01:39:31 <Ampera> It's like Apple has figured out every single conceivable way to piss me off, and condensed it all into their UX design
01:41:36 <steve30000> are you on about the pink extinction rebellion flag?
02:20:50 Join: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
02:58:58 <jaymax> Yea. Extincion Level Event flag.
02:59:15 <jaymax> or ELER.
02:59:29 <jaymax> Everybody Loves Eric Raymond.
03:00:15 <steve30000> Extinction rebellion were there at the protest
03:07:56 <steve30000> Tomorrow should be interesting. I've got "anti fascists" vs "anti-fascists".
03:38:23 Nick: steve30000 is now known as steve30
03:38:25 <steve30> dinner time
04:23:39 <Ampera> aren't all antifa protests typically antifa vs antifa?
04:23:44 <Ampera> they have a habit of eating their own
04:29:12 <coppice> Ampera: which can be shortened to fa vs fa
04:29:52 <Ampera> It's odd how some things can cancel each other out
04:30:01 <Ampera> in other news, I ordered a fumoto valve
04:31:46 <coppice> I don't understand the purpose of those things
04:34:51 <Ampera> Laziness.
04:35:14 <Ampera> I don't have to worry about getting a crush washer, stripping the drain plug, having to torque the thing back on there
04:35:43 <Ampera> I put this thing on the drain plug once, and then it's good
04:38:15 <coppice> its a convenience thing, but making a quick and simple job you do once or twice a year easier isn't adding much convenience. besides, don't they get caked with dirt, and need washing out?
04:38:31 <Ampera> you can place covers on them
04:38:39 <Ampera> piece of tape would probably work
04:39:13 <Ampera> As well, it's an occasional job, but a somewhat complex one. This reduces the complexity.
04:40:19 <coppice> position bucket. unscrew bolt. wait. apply new washer. screw in bolt. done.
04:40:49 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
04:41:32 <coppice> oil changes used to be a lot cleaner and simpler, but they added so many obstacle to most cars that the oil tends to hit something and make a mess
04:44:52 <rust8> it is not so bad, if you have a lift, and get paid by the hour
04:51:55 <rust8> hmm, this seems to be a pretty cloned clone? https://www.jegs.com/p/JEGS/JEGS-EZ-Oil-Drain-Valve/5649744/10002/-1

04:55:24 <rust8> drain plug lubricant. that is a special thing I guess

04:58:49 <arch> dont use it in your butt
04:58:57 <rust8> so, can you drill a small hole in the lever, and put a bicycle cable or so on it, so you can slide a drain pan under it, with a stick, then open the valve "from the top"
05:00:35 <arch> sounds kinky
05:00:57 <rust8> yes
05:01:37 <steve30> mmm, i just had steak and kidney pie and mash and veg
05:01:40 <steve30> :p
05:02:26 <rust8> kid #2 is preparing lion steak and fries. I am not very sad
05:18:56 <coppice> your kids like to eat pussy?
05:19:28 <rust8> who cares what they like. dead cats are cheap
05:27:42 <coppice> but there are so many things you can do with a dead cat. Books have documented at least 202 of them
05:28:51 <jaymax> Well consider food as #203.
05:30:34 <coppice> dunno. I don't have copies of the books handy to check if that was among the 202
05:31:23 <jaymax> #146 scarecrow, is rather brilliant.

05:33:31 <steve30> Pharmaceutical marketing people must have been busy to come up with this list of names: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venlafaxine#Society_and_culture
05:33:32 <EEVBot> [wikipedia] Venlafaxine - Society and culture | "Venlafaxine was originally marketed as Effexor in most of the world; generic venlafaxine has been available since around 2008 and extended release venlafaxine has been available since around 2010. As of January 2020, venlafaxine is marketed under many brand names worldwide, many with alternative extended release forms (not shown): Adefaxin, Alenthus, Altven, Alventa, Amfax, Anapresin, Ansifix, Arafaxina, […]"
05:33:51 <rust8> hoi hsn
05:34:03 <hsn> Hi rusty dusty
05:34:19 <hsn> How is life treating
05:35:08 <rust8> eh
05:35:11 <rust8> it is
05:35:24 <jaymax> steve30: I knew it as Effexor XR - are all the toehr names because of the off-label-use marketing?
05:35:32 * T3sl4 hugs steve30 and hsn, unhugs rust8
05:35:34 <jaymax> IIRC they wanted to do a Zyban thing.
05:35:45 <jaymax> Smoking cessation drug.
05:35:48 * T3sl4 noogies jaymax
05:35:51 <hsn> Heyo tim
05:35:56 * jaymax is noodled.
05:36:03 <hsn> Long time it is
05:36:13 <T3sl4> how you been desert man
05:36:31 <hsn> Desert after fasting yes
05:36:36 <hsn> Its ramadan
05:36:44 <jaymax> Hmmm, Ramenen,.
05:36:55 <T3sl4> ah, yes
05:37:11 <T3sl4> it's lent here, if you're of the observing type
05:37:42 * jaymax is gonna make hummus for supper.
05:37:50 <T3sl4> i actually have no idea what if any relation is between uh say passover, and advent or lent, and ramadan
05:37:56 <jaymax> Also some veggie rice casserole thing.
05:38:00 <T3sl4> don't remember if those are related or not
05:38:09 <steve30> I don't know why there are so many different brand names. Usually (here in UK at least), manufacturers just use the generic name, but there are a few brands in use here
05:38:10 * T3sl4 melts cheese over jaymax
05:38:13 <rust8> this stuff also always confuse me. does ramadan thing move around too? or is it a certain date
05:38:25 <jaymax> T3sl4: a thank
05:38:48 <jaymax> IIRC it's by the old calendar
05:38:52 <coppice> jaymax: are you a fan of those dead cat books?
05:39:01 <jaymax> I have no what those are.
05:39:07 <jaymax> I hjust shitpost here.

05:40:10 <coppice> jaymax: 101 uses of a dead cat, and 101 more uses of a dead cat are classics
05:40:28 <T3sl4> yeah that
05:42:44 * jaymax remembers "Stuff White People Like"
05:42:49 <coppice> you shouldn't douse someone in petrol. At least not at current prices. Just moisen them. It keeps the floor clean. too
05:43:26 * T3sl4 wonders if arab petrol is 10% ethanol, or not because, you know, ethanol das ist verboten
05:43:40 <coppice> jaymax: you mean things like black humour?

08:02:21 <Nothing\> hello chief! Let's talk why not!
08:03:10 <Nothing\> or as my old, Persian/Afghani room mate used to greet me: "HI! HELLO! HOW ARE YOU?!"
08:03:18 <Nothing\> was never sure how to respond to that one
08:03:34 <Nothing\> or when he would ask as a follow-up "do you have some things?"
08:04:19 <rust8> but you have nothing...so
08:04:38 <Nothing\> ah that guy was a heck of a character. Not at all like you would expect from a semi-conservative muslim. I mean he wasn't a radical, but he was definitely more orthodox than most westerners.
08:04:52 <Nothing\> rust8, lol i do now, indeed.
08:05:12 <Nothing\> oh man that reminds me, some guy on youtube tried making fun of me because my name's "nothing/" the other day
08:07:08 <Nothing\> like wtf is he 5 years old? I was trying to have a debate about something STEM related and that was the best he could do. Meanwhile he name was Johnson. So I just apologized that I wasn't more considerate towards his feelings when I chose my name 20 years ago, and I'll be more thoughtful next time since he seems to want to have sex with me (why else would somebody else's name matter if you're not trying to find the
08:07:34 <Nothing\> then i pointed out how ironic it was that a guy named johnson, whose name literally means cock, is making fun of MY name.
08:08:20 <Nothing\> but sorry, i know people hate hearing about petty arguments like that. Much as some of us enjoy relating them. I guess it's like telling somebody about a dream you had. Feels important to you, but to the listener, the story couldn't end sooner.
08:09:36 <Nothing\> but it's helped me realize i need to stay the hell away from youtube comments. At least on channels that aren't generally populated by more mature people, like REAL STEM related videos (as opposed to things like "top 5 facts about science that you didn't know")
08:09:58 <Nothing\> hrm i feel like norway was in the news again lately rust8 but i can't recall why
08:10:08 <Nothing\> lemme see if there's anything i can find
08:10:44 <Nothing\> oh, stepping up arctic patrols to look for russian subs. Meh
08:11:51 <Nothing\> that reminds me, I read a story the other day of a guy who tried to illegally immigrate to canada. But he entered through the high arctic instead of the US border. He went across from northern greenland in a pretty janky boat. As I recall, he barely survived.
08:12:04 <Nothing\> i know his supplies by greenland were meagre at best
08:12:54 <Nothing\> it's interesting to note that the northwest passage has actually opened up in recent years due to climate change and for the first time in history, commercial vessels are being allowed to sail through it.
08:13:43 <Nothing\> anywho i'm rambling still so i'll go busy myself elsewhere. Thanks for being patient. As always. All of you who are present. =)
08:22:57 <rust8> heh, I was on the toilet, being very busy
08:26:41 <Nothing\> heh that's okay. Honest to god I spend about 2-4 hours on the can a day. And I'm not just hanging out, it's all business.
08:27:34 <Nothing\> I mean, i make myself comfortable with a phone, snacks, radio, books, kitty, drink, ecig etc so I'm actually pretty comfy in there. Some days I do end up hanging out for an extra our or two just for the relaxation.
08:27:51 <rust8> I am trying to find a battery, that can fit inside this crappy mini oscilloscope. an old nokia battery will fit, but it is also dead, lol
08:28:43 <Nothing\> but i'm sure that's not feasbile in a house with a family. Especially if you only have one bathroom. And I'm not sure how big bathrooms are there. If you guys subscribe to the idea of a japanese-like water closet that's basically a phone booth with a toilet in it. Or if you guys prefer larger bathrooms.
08:29:07 <Nothing\> I couldn't possibly do what I do in a water closet. Just spending that much time in such a small space would drive me batty.
08:29:33 <Nothing\> rust8, if it's an alkaline cell, cody's lab posted a video on how to replenish those
08:29:40 <rust8> it is somewhere in between. we have the toilet, shower, and a sink with some cabinet things in there
08:29:52 <rust8> nah, lithium
08:29:54 <Nothing\> basically you cut it open and just replace all of the spent chemicals lol.
08:30:01 <Nothing\> well, even better
08:30:32 <rust8> yes, AvE had a video the other day, about cutting open an 18650
08:30:46 <Nothing\> heh i made a "magic wand" toy for my kitties last night by taping a coin cell to an LED then taping it to the end of a piece of dowel. The went nuts over it.
08:31:03 <Nothing\> rust8, interesting, i just watched a big clive video about the same
08:31:09 <Nothing\> oh, speaking of
08:31:15 <Nothing\> my ecig had an "uh oh" last night
08:31:18 <Nothing\> https://i.ibb.co/9TztCVC/Broken-Ecig-Screen-2.jpg
08:31:47 <Nothing\> it still works, but i just can't tell what it's set to. So I just locked the settings as is and don't dare touch anything of that sort.
08:32:25 <Nothing\> there's been more than one time when I've gone to take a puff, and somehow, and for some reason, it wound up being set to 220 watts... on a 0.4 ohm coil lol
08:32:39 <Nothing\> you better believe that tasted all sorts of terrible.
08:32:51 <Nothing\> and the taste never gets out of your mouth.
08:33:13 <Nothing\> i also realized despite having 2 cells, my ecig doesn't balance the charge between them at all
08:33:14 <rust8> 220w is 220w?

08:33:26 <Nothing\> lol wtf
08:33:32 <Nothing\> cindy lauper keeps coming up lately
08:33:44 <Nothing\> the radio musta played girls just wanna have fun like half a dozen times this month
08:34:04 <Nothing\> and she was mentioned constantly on Young Sheldon, which takes place in the 80's, but still
08:34:20 <rust8> are you sure it is not just that you woke up, after around 30 years?
08:34:42 <Nothing\> you say that jokingly, but honest to god, I really do feel like something like that's happened to me
08:34:45 <rust8> feels like yesterday
08:35:18 <Nothing\> like i've suddenly found myself in some twisted version of the world that once was, but is now 15-20 years older.
08:35:48 <Nothing\> and it's like a dream in that there are recognizable things, but they're all different to how they were back then. If you know what I mean.
08:36:12 <Nothing\> the new episodes of the simpsons (opposed to seasons 2-6 or so) is a prime example
08:36:30 <Nothing\> the look the same, sound the same, you'd be forgiven for thinking they're the same
08:36:52 <Nothing\> but after watching them a bit you realize they're absolutely nothing like they were back in those days
08:37:29 <Nothing\> even relics of my childhood are like that. I might find a favourite stuffed animals only to discover my old dog chewed the crap out of the face.
08:37:57 <Nothing\> or all the live action verisons/reboots of classic movies and games that I grew up with.
08:38:26 <Nothing\> same name, same general theme, but completely different game and could have had a different name outside the series and I woudln't even have noticed
08:40:19 <Nothing\> alright i guess i'll do this scratch-off ticket i got for my birthday
08:40:51 <electrohead> o/
08:40:53 <Nothing\> just turned 38 the other day. WHOOPDY SHIT, my body's been subjected to yet another year of entropy.
08:41:05 <Nothing\> hey electrohead how's it going, friend?
08:41:18 <electrohead> hey man
08:41:22 <rust8> !&$%@*&$555
08:41:28 <electrohead> I know that wall of text from a mile away, lol
08:41:29 <Nothing\> rust8, you said it
08:41:40 <Nothing\> electrohead, haha =P sorry
08:41:48 <electrohead> :P
08:41:48 <rust8> yes, but not out loud
08:41:50 <Nothing\> i try, but it's hard not to do it sometimes.
08:42:08 <Nothing\> as you can see, i tell myself i'll stop, then 2 seconds later i end up doing it again without even realizing it.
08:42:24 <rust8> try to not think of girls wanna have fun
08:42:27 <Nothing\> such is the folly of pressured-speech
08:42:46 <Nothing\> rust8, you ever heard the oingo boingo song, I Like Little Girls?
08:43:20 <Nothing\> it's really creepy and makes me wonder how on earth Danny Elfman got away with a song like that. Especially considering HE'S the one portrayed as the pedophile in the music video.

08:44:40 <Nothing\> it's a catchy as hell song though, i'll give him thta. Very iconic sound for the 80's
08:44:41 <Nothing\> .
08:44:59 <Nothing\> the only way I can see it working though is if it were parody
08:45:05 <Nothing\> asoeitnhasidhaose see electrohead there i go again

08:58:16 <Nothing\> T3sl4 friend me good...
08:58:28 <T3sl4> :D
08:59:01 <Nothing\> i boguht a new set of earbuds yesterday. Holy crap, the blow my old set out of the water and even my old set had surprisingly good quality.
09:00:15 <Nothing\> i'm just curious how the box can claim the frequency response is as low as 4hz... what the hell kind of maybe 20 or 30mm diaphragm speaker produce anything close to 4hz
09:00:31 <Nothing\> how big a wavelength is that...
09:00:33 <T3sl4> if it's sealed well enough
09:00:48 <Nothing\> 85.25 meters
09:01:25 <Nothing\> T3sl4, nah i've been reading about methods to produce infrasound lately and with diaphragm speakers, the response cuts off very sharply below 20hz
09:01:46 <Nothing\> it might be able to generate SOME amount of infrasound, but not an appreciable amount.
09:01:49 <Ampera> Unpopular opinion: I hate trees
09:01:55 <Ampera> er, unpoplar
09:01:58 <Ampera> fuck, how did I fuck that up
09:02:07 <T3sl4> antipoplar*
09:02:15 <Nothing\> did I ever show you the video of the rotary subwoofer that's playing a 5hz tone, T3sl4? it's one of my favorite science demos
09:02:15 * T3sl4 stabs Ampera with a family of trees
09:02:21 <T3sl4> ye i know it
09:02:25 <Nothing\> good stuff
09:02:30 <Nothing\> <3 resonant modes
09:03:23 <Nothing\> i was thinking though, I measured my bathroom and worked out what frequency would produce the same wavelength, or some fraction amount, but i never noticed any sort of resonance

09:06:13 <Nothing\> rust8, man i wish i was able to do something like that.
09:06:22 <electrohead> Nothing\: speaking of earbuds - I recently bought the Pinebuds Pro - they are surprisingly really good
09:07:00 <Nothing\> there's constant bickering between my mum and i because she keeps her window open at night and likes it cool, while I'm overly sensitive to cold and temperature changes so such cold is literally painful to me
09:07:26 <Nothing\> but she can't keep her door closed while she sleeps because the cats constantly want in and out.
09:07:51 <Nothing\> but unfortunately all i have for cutting wood is a saw and spindly, weak, girl arms
09:08:01 <Nothing\> electrohead, i've never heard of those
09:08:12 <Nothing\> tbh i'm kind of out ofthe loop with audio stuff
09:08:39 <Nothing\> buti know, isn't it great when you first get new ear buds and can really notice the quality difference? it's like night and day.

09:24:46 <Nothing\> heh I took some fabric from an old pair of boxers, stuffed it with fresh ground cat vine and catnip and tied it into a knot. My cats are going bananas over them.
09:25:11 <Nothing\> i need to get baby socks, they work best for catnip toys.
09:25:15 <Nothing\> also /me clicks
09:25:37 <Nothing\> 3 microphones?
09:25:38 <rust8> I am not sure if you have noticed, but your cats are always going bananas, it does not matter what you do for them
09:25:47 <Nothing\> why do headphones need THREE microphones. Isn't one enough?
09:26:21 <Nothing\> rust8, not true. My one cat will maul me if I so much as try to touch his stomach, or him in general if I don't have permission.
09:26:38 <rust8> yes, stop being annoying.
09:27:26 <rust8> but, if you show them an led, they go bananas, if you wave your old boxers around, they go bananas, if they see a squirrel outside....
09:29:31 <Nothing\> jeezum crow
09:29:59 <Nothing\> the largest baby ever delivered (presumably naturally as it was 1955) was 22lb8oz
09:30:13 <Nothing\> she musta had a coochy like the bat cave
09:30:44 <Nothing\> rust8, they're cats. They like to go bananas.
09:30:52 <Nothing\> especially for no reason
09:31:07 <Nothing\> i know it's hard to understand not being a cat owner (presumably)
09:31:23 <rust8> no, we only have 2 of the things
09:31:33 <Nothing\> adults and children?
09:31:38 <Nothing\> oh
09:31:40 <Nothing\> THE things
09:31:41 <coppice> Nothing\: one my wife's very petite Chinese friends had a 7 kilo baby
09:31:43 <Nothing\> i misread
09:31:55 <Nothing\> coppice, natural or by c-section though?
09:32:13 <coppice> not sure. probably by C section
09:32:15 <Nothing\> i was trying to specifically find natural childbirth because it's just not the same if it's by c-section
09:32:50 <coppice> just carrying around that bump in the last few months must have been back breaking
09:32:56 <Nothing\> coppice, these days i'd imagine they'd probably prefer to play it safe with a c-section instead of risk complications from the baby getting stuck or whatever might happen. I'm no OB/GYN.
09:33:37 <coppice> Its still pretty freaky to have such a huge baby. Her husband is white, but he's not a massive guy
09:33:37 <Nothing\> coppice, oh i know. my exwife was fairly petite, though tall. But after pregnancy her body really went fun-house mirror on her.
09:33:57 <Nothing\> really horrible stretch marks. I felt bad about that, knowing they were permanent.
09:34:27 <Nothing\> and her boobs turned into sort of tear drop shapes if they hung straight down
09:34:54 <Nothing\> which she eventually got a boob job after she left me. Which I thought was funny. She always felt a B cup was too small.
09:35:12 <Nothing\> provides a great example for her daughter
09:35:32 <Nothing\> not to mention that it was so long ago, they probably need to be replaced by now.
09:36:45 <Nothing\> oh man she had the fuckin nerve to msg me on facebook demanding my tax information for my child support payments. Even though 1. she'd never so much as contacted me re: anything to do with this is 6 years and suddenly expect me to start jumping through hoops.
09:36:56 <Nothing\> but what pisses me off more is the fact that our daughter is 19
09:37:09 <Nothing\> she should be grateful i'm even still paying child support.
09:37:44 <Nothing\> but i shouldn't complain, at $29 a month i got probably the best deal any man could ever get on child support. But that's still money she doesn't deserve.
09:38:33 <Nothing\> especially after saying multiple times vehemently that our daughter is no longer my daughter, and that she's step-father's daughter now. To the point where she was even coached to call me by my first my first name.
09:38:41 <Nothing\> sorry, i'm ranting again
09:38:51 <Nothing\> i guess i'm in a ruminative mood.
09:39:03 <Nothing\> here, i'll make up for it with some cuteness overload
09:39:40 <Nothing\> if i can find it...
09:41:11 <Nothing\> here, it's not the same video but it's just as cute

09:41:39 <Nothing\> oh i forgot to remove the time stamp but oh well
09:41:51 <T3sl4> Ampera too
09:42:00 <Nothing\> oh yeah, i'll have to show him when he's around.
09:42:23 <Nothing\> T3sl4, there are a ton of these though if you're ever in need of a pick-me-up.
09:42:32 <Nothing\> and my cats love these videos lol
09:42:33 <T3sl4> :3
09:42:52 <Nothing\> my cats have gotten into watching youtube. And not just animal videos either.
09:43:43 <Nothing\> there's an 8 hour video of mice coming ou of a hole in the wall, grabbing some grains and running back. My cats will watch that for ever
09:43:57 <Nothing\> i put it on instead of the radio whenever we go out and i find it helps relax them for sleep
09:44:27 <Nothing\> i'm just worried they'll try scratching the tv one of these days but i think they get the idea
09:44:57 <Nothing\> ah T3sl4 less than 2 months before tears of the kingdom. I'm so excited. lol i never did finish breath of the wild
09:45:35 <Nothing\> i have a save where i'm right about to go to ganon, but I started a new game at thet point because i didn't want it to be over yet

10:37:51 <jaymax> https://files.maxuel.compy.ca:5281/upload/3kLe3IrC6HT_1iHF/RNsNUHD_SqGdpurEGs6qrQ.mp4
10:37:54 <jaymax> electrohead: Yes
10:38:01 <Nothing\> well that's pathetic
10:38:14 <Nothing\> i bought one of those 6 foot long fabric covered usb charging cords
10:38:25 <Nothing\> the thing barely charges my phone at 200ma
10:38:52 <Nothing\> opposed to 2.5amps, using a regular cord and all other things equal
10:39:05 <jaymax> A good nightstand charge cable then.
10:39:13 <Nothing\> not even
10:39:20 <jaymax> Fast charging is bad charging
10:39:24 <Nothing\> i did the math, it would take 3 days to charge my eig
10:39:30 <Nothing\> its' not even practical
10:39:53 <Nothing\> slow charging is fine, i get that
10:40:15 <Nothing\> but this isn't slow charging. It's bloody trickle-charging.
10:41:04 <Nothing\> lol or theother cable i tried to use on my computer and discovered it has no data lines on it. Just power.
10:41:14 <jaymax> Nothing\: you have a 5Wh ecig?
10:41:23 <jaymax> 50Wh*
10:41:31 <Nothing\> god forbid they should put an extra 3 feet of probably .5mm copper wire into it
10:41:41 <Nothing\> jaymax, 22.5
10:41:45 <jaymax> Like, laptop capacity?
10:42:37 <Nothing\> a full charge lasts half a week
10:43:14 <jaymax> Nah, that's 2 good 18650-equivalents.
10:43:22 <Nothing\> yup
10:43:32 <electrohead> jaymax: sexay <3
10:43:32 <Nothing\> at 30 watts i get just under 1 hour of operation
10:44:10 <jaymax> electrohead: u no eet
10:44:25 <Nothing\> jaymax, i was as surprised as you are
10:44:43 <Nothing\> i double and triple checked the math
10:45:32 <jaymax> So not 3 days, unless losses are well over 50%.
10:45:38 <Nothing\> yeah, the batteries say they're 11.1WH a piece and 2 batteries in the unit
10:45:51 <Nothing\> so, 22.2 watt hours
10:46:07 <Nothing\> or 3amp hours each for a totaly of 6

10:46:22 <electrohead> <3
10:46:26 <Nothing\> sounds fun
10:46:28 <electrohead> jaymax: take a listen
10:46:32 <jaymax> 3 days at 200mah means 50Wh with small losses.
10:46:34 <electrohead> Nothing\: you too, if you want
10:46:50 <electrohead> then again, Nothing\, you may melt into pieces, if you listen to that
10:47:02 <Nothing\> lol you saved me some typing
10:47:10 <Nothing\> you know me well =)
10:47:24 <jaymax> 3x24x0.200x3.7
10:47:50 <Nothing\> jaymax, 3 isn't constant operation
10:48:02 <Nothing\> it's using it maybe 5 seconds at a time several times an hour
10:48:26 <Nothing\> you really can't say what my actual rate of use is without some heavy datasets
10:48:32 <Nothing\> which i've been curious to make
10:48:33 <jaymax> > i did the math, it would take 3 days to charge my eig
10:48:41 <Nothing\> oh yeah, to charge
10:48:52 <Nothing\> sorry, i also said it lasts 3 days on a charge i thought you were referring to that
10:49:06 <jaymax> It aight
10:49:27 <Nothing\> llo i dropped it one too many times last night though, check it out
10:49:29 <Nothing\> https://i.ibb.co/9TztCVC/Broken-Ecig-Screen-2.jpg
10:50:02 <electrohead> ouch
10:50:06 <Nothing\> i broke the glass on the tank the other week, which i was thankfully able to buy JUST the glass part. Didn't even need a whole tank. But I don't think there's any repairing this one lol.
10:50:15 <Nothing\> yeh but it at least still works
10:50:53 <Nothing\> i locked the settings where they were. Where they're comfortable. And I can see a small amount of information like battery life, thankfully. So it's salvagable.
10:51:23 <Nothing\> but man, when I lived in an apartment with cement floors, I dropped/broke an ecigarette probably once a month.
10:52:13 <Nothing\> lol i even fell asleep while i was hanging over my 13th floor balcony, enjoying the view while I was vaping and dropped the thing all the way to the concrete below.
10:52:21 <Nothing\> I jokingly tried to claim my warranty on that one lol.
10:53:07 <Nothing\> "if it was was built to the standards of the 1970s when everything was made of metal this never would have happened!
10:53:09 <Nothing\> "
10:54:03 <Nothing\> lol i used to have these Tonka brand toy trucks that were almost entirely made of steel. Stroken enough that my brother and I could ride it like a skateboard.
10:55:34 <Nothing\> so, change of subject. I'm learning this ben eater lecture series about making a breadboard computer. But I'm really struggling to understand how the data/address bus works.
10:56:09 <Nothing\> I dunno if I need to read more about bus architecture, though most material about that these days is on more modern systems and/or serial bases.
10:57:50 <Nothing\> sad
10:58:32 <Nothing\> i just realized i've taken 45 clonazepams in the last 24 hours, 22.5mg. A standard dose is 0.25 to 0.5mg.
10:59:27 <Nothing\> you know things have gotten out of hand when....
10:59:50 <jaymax> "Do you know what a death rattle sounds like?"
10:59:58 <jaymax> LOL
11:00:11 <jaymax> Martha Nothing\
11:00:11 <Nothing\> or a death hairball?
11:00:20 <Nothing\> was that her name?
11:00:26 <Nothing\> i forget her name all of a sudden
11:00:30 <Nothing\> marla!
11:00:33 <Nothing\> that's it, not martha
11:00:34 <Nothing\> lol
11:01:03 <jaymax> Martin
11:01:07 <Nothing\> but she was really just playing herself
11:01:27 <Nothing\> i mean she's the same person in every damn movie, and not in an enjoyable way like christopher walken or jeff goldblum
11:01:43 <Nothing\> or gary busey, he was by far the greatest person ever to play himself on a regular basis
11:02:00 <jaymax> Or Dyawne Johnson?
11:02:08 <Nothing\> nah, he's not a nutter
11:02:15 <Nothing\> oh wait no i get what you mena
11:02:19 <Nothing\> muscle bound jock type
11:02:25 <jaymax> He always plays the same character
11:02:32 <Nothing\> 2 functioning brain cells to his name
11:02:45 <Nothing\> actually he seems like a genuinely nice person irl
11:03:11 <jaymax> Jungle scene where he is holding a machete
11:03:14 <Nothing\> at least from the things i've seen him do, like visiting sick people in the hospital, I guess. But that could just be a PR stunt.
11:03:25 <Nothing\> lol i never watched jumanji
11:03:30 <Nothing\> the second one anyways
11:03:32 <Nothing\> i TRIED

11:07:27 <Nothing\> ugh
11:07:39 <Nothing\> what happened to using WORDS on user interfaces
11:10:44 <jaymax> Words are racist
11:24:35 <Nothing\> oh i know
11:24:45 <Nothing\> you know there's a racist word for black people?
11:25:04 <Nothing\> tsk tsk tsk *shakes his head*
11:25:20 <Nothing\> trouble's-a-brewin'
11:27:11 <jaymax> Yeah. All the words. English language is inherently racist.
11:27:56 <Nothing\> just about anything could be, interpretted the right way.

11:28:31 <Nothing\> that makes no sense
11:28:44 <Nothing\> people are dumb because they have bad test scores?
11:28:49 <Nothing\> shouldn't it be the other way around?
11:29:45 <jaymax> I cannot find the one about dismissing standards because "standard English is colonialist" but you get the idea of the insanity of identity obsession.
11:30:00 <Nothing\> not all of it
11:30:50 <Nothing\> a lot of english is based on anglo-saxon. Look up "Anglish". There's even a paper somebody wrote which describes atomic theory using nothing but anglo-saxon-derived words.
11:31:00 <Nothing\> "the uncleftish beholding"
11:31:10 <jaymax> Like how there's the "colour" tests for people claiming to be a member of an AFN band - and then get called out for lying about it.
11:31:32 <Nothing\> https://msburkeenglish.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/uncleftish-beholding-aka-atomic-theory.pdf
11:31:37 <Nothing\> it's kinda fun to read tbh
11:32:34 <Nothing\> or even more striking is any examples of old english, it might as well be gaelic for how much sense it makes.
11:32:59 <jaymax> Nothing\: I call it bullshit anyway.
11:33:25 <jaymax> People use the language. Nothing special about it.
11:33:26 <Nothing\> to each their own
11:33:35 <Nothing\> i never said there was
11:33:38 <Nothing\> it's just interesting
11:33:48 <Nothing\> but interest is subjective, so to each their own.
11:34:26 <arch> the more stupid people there are, the better it is for the smart people... like me \o/

11:34:32 <jaymax> People want to make everything about them, which i was trying to point out. Like that latest purity test failure. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/vianne-timmons-paid-leave-1.6776891?cmp=rss

11:34:41 <Nothing\> i would beg to differ about the importance of language though
11:34:57 <Nothing\> jaymax, oh yeah language on a person to person basis is bullshit
11:35:10 <arch> electrohead, you bought the tcam right?
11:35:12 <Nothing\> most people are egocentric and only care to talk about themselves or their own interests etc
11:35:20 <Nothing\> me me me, my my my, i i i etc
11:35:22 <jaymax> You got it
11:35:24 <arch> ive been trying to get it working through the rpi, through docker, but no luck
11:35:37 <Nothing\> but i'm talking about language in generaly. As in the topic of linguistics.
11:36:05 <Nothing\> i suppose the two are different topics
11:36:29 <jaymax> Yeah, I going at the emotional intent
11:36:51 <jaymax> Language is divorced from intent
11:36:55 <Nothing\> it's funny i always lament how the reason most people do most things that they do is because of money
11:37:16 <Nothing\> even if not directly, you go back far enough and the cause is probably money with a high degree of certainty
11:37:30 <Nothing\> and it just hit me, the first records of human writing were about money
11:37:58 <Nothing\> records from storage and tax collectors or something of that nature.
11:38:11 <jaymax> Nothing\: yeah. I like the idea of Nuclear power. I also happen to have positions in uranium and related royalties.
11:38:26 <Nothing\> i forget exactly what it was but i know it was related to money.
11:38:49 <Nothing\> i dunno if you're sarcastic or not, but nuclear power is actually really beneficial
11:38:59 * jaymax pays Nothing\ in conk shells
11:39:36 <jaymax> > i dunno if you're sarcastic or not, but nuclear power is actually really beneficial
11:39:36 <jaymax> I'm serious. Currency where my mouth is.
11:40:15 <jaymax> I want a power plant closer to me than Point LePreau.
11:40:34 <Nothing\> BUT we currently have ABSOLUTELY ZERO methods for long-term, (in excess of 100 years) storage of high level waste, like spent uranium. And the current methods require human intervention on a regular basis or they leak.
11:42:04 <jaymax> The largest challenge right now is the depressing amount of time it takes to go from breaking ground to splitting atoms.
11:42:34 <jaymax> Fifteen years in western countries, or so... Now.
11:44:40 <jaymax> The waste (so long it doesn't get diluted) of all nuclear plants thus far would fit in the first few centimeters of height, in a football field.
11:44:41 <Nothing\> that and the tens of billions a plant costs. Good luck making that money back any time soon.
11:45:00 <jaymax> Yup
11:45:04 <Nothing\> yeah there's not a lot of it, granted
11:45:09 <Nothing\> but it is incredibly dangerous
11:45:22 <Nothing\> especially if it were dispersed throughout a large area.
11:45:34 <Nothing\> a la a dirty bomb type mechanism
11:45:42 <Nothing\> for example
11:45:45 <jaymax> SMRs are interesting, but not in production scale - so may as well call them vaporware.
11:46:04 <Nothing\> SMRL
11:46:05 <Nothing\> ?
11:46:56 <jaymax> Small modular reactors
11:47:52 <jaymax> Nothing\: Britain us sending DU war crime shells to Ukraine BTW.
11:48:09 <jaymax> DU = depleted uranium
12:07:32 <Nothing\> ho-ly crap that is soooo cool
12:08:16 <Nothing\> i just noticed shining a green laser on an LED display, you can see a reflection of the LCD matrix on the wall
12:08:41 <Nothing\> and even more impressive, shining it on a CD, I can actually see the track with all of the pits in it.
12:09:25 <Nothing\> jaymax, i heard the UK is considering sending DU rounds to Ukraine. Why Ukraine would want to use DU on their own soil is beyond me, unless it's for attacks across the border. Who knows.
12:09:34 <Nothing\> IF they even end up sending them. Which they won't.
12:10:19 <jaymax> Tanks used to be off the table. Fighter jets verboten.
12:10:31 <jaymax> My have times changed.
12:10:37 <Nothing\> man, that laser CD thing makes me wish I had an exposed die from an IC. I bet that would look really cool reflected from a laser if it was a micron scale chip.
12:11:19 <Nothing\> jaymax, yeah, they say this isn't as bad as the cold war (yet) but I beg to differ
12:11:31 <Nothing\> nobody in the cold war was charged with war crimes.
12:11:54 <Nothing\> though they should have been. But it shows how much more seriously the world takes the rules of war

12:12:41 <jaymax> Since 2014 NATO has been escalating it at every turn.
12:13:13 <Nothing\> Dmitry Medvedev said "it's easy to imagine a hypersonic missile launched from the North Sea striking The Hague." in response
12:13:47 <Nothing\> and Russia's issued arrest warrants for all of the ICC personnel, judges, investigator etc who were involved in the warrant.

12:15:18 <Nothing\> we all seemed to have forgotten at the moment of invasian thta Ukraine's just as crooked as Russia.
12:15:26 <Nothing\> or at least corrupt as hell
