01:44:34 <steve30> i think i'll have a takeaway tonight
02:04:35 <steve30> I think I'll have a 196 for a change
02:04:40 <steve30> Makes a change from 195.
02:04:40 * electrohead carries steve30 away
02:04:50 <electrohead> what's that?
02:05:37 <steve30> Beef curry & fried rice
02:09:40 <electrohead> ahh, nice
02:09:41 <electrohead> and sushi?
02:10:01 * T3sl4 noris electrohead
02:10:22 <steve30> nah, i don't care much for sushi
02:12:47 <coppice> sushi is just salad for carnivores
02:13:03 <T3sl4> so you don't win friends with it?
02:14:28 <coppice> steve30: doesn't the sauce of the curry make frying the rice pointless?
02:17:14 <arch> im looking for ultra low profile potentiometers, something that'll fit in 6-7mm height
02:17:38 <arch> but if i can't find one, i'm just going to retrofit a triwood pot in a 3d printed housing
02:17:49 <T3sl4> they make SMT trimpots under 1mm..
02:18:30 <arch> i need something with vertical layout. i guess i could make a tiny pcb with an smd trimpot and use pinheaders to make it 90 deg
02:19:04 <T3sl4> that sounds like a horizontal layout tho
02:19:05 <arch> also fucking digikey blocked my ip

04:43:07 <coppice> The cases professional video cameras came in in the 90s must have cost more than most consumer camcorders
04:43:25 <T3sl4> than they do now you mean?
04:44:15 <coppice> the camera body may be cheap now, but serious lenses still cost

04:54:04 <watcher> Hello
04:54:13 <Kuschelpony> Hello watcher
04:54:24 <coppice> B4 sounds really out of date
04:55:33 <coppice> steve30: isn't there something weird with B4 prices? like very expensive new, but very cheap second hand in good condition
04:56:14 <steve30> Ones from the 1990s and earlier go quite cheap
04:56:17 <watcher> The new 16" framework laptop has a removable gpu slot. It is possible to make anything in that slot even a oscilloscope
04:56:42 <steve30> The ones which a specified for HD use still sell for a fair bit second hand

04:57:37 <coppice> as long as you don't go for the x20 or x30 zooms older lenses should be very sharp
04:58:15 <electrohead> T3sl4: so, there are burn marks on the one electrolytic capacitor, yay
04:59:32 <coppice> a good wide zoom is still $20k or $30k, because lenses have become cheaper, but 30x at 4k resolution is way beyond anything the used to achieve, even with 3 moving sensors
05:01:36 <steve30> I quite like the picture quality of my 4K camera's lens, but it comes at the expense of low light performance
05:09:10 <coppice> steve30: what lens do you have?
05:09:52 <steve30> The 4K camera? Its a built in one (Panasonic X2000)
05:10:13 <steve30> so, a bit cheaper than a B4 broadcast lens :)
05:10:35 <steve30> The B4 lens I have on my Sony DVCAM is an early 90s Fujinon

09:30:55 <Nothing\> hi guys
09:31:03 <Nothing\> how are you
09:31:30 <Nothing\> i am existing
09:32:04 <Nothing\> mmm yes i thought so
09:32:18 <Nothing\> very well then
09:39:46 <Ampera> I don't believe you.
09:39:50 <Ampera> I don't think you actually exist.
09:40:04 <Ampera> I think you're the part of my imagination that comes to me in the middle of the night and reminds me that I'm not actually real.
09:40:44 <Ampera> that nothing in this world truly exists, and reality is only a portal through which we shape the world around our own selves.
09:47:35 <Nothing\> Ampera, there was a time when i genuinely believed i was the only being who actually existed
09:47:46 <Nothing\> ie i subscribed to the idea of solipsism
09:48:05 <Nothing\> but ultimately it's a philosophical dead-end with few meaningful answers
09:48:21 <Ampera> that's why I love it so much
09:48:29 <Ampera> it's the anti-philosophy.
09:48:36 <Nothing\> i believed that the world was a physical manifestation of my conscious mind
09:48:45 <Nothing\> are you familiar with the idea of a boltzmann brain?
09:48:55 <Ampera> no
09:49:35 <Ampera> I believe most of life's great questions have no great answers. Life is meaningless until one gives it meaning, and I prefer to prescribe the meaning which serves myself best.
09:49:49 <Nothing\> the long and short of it is that out in the middle of space, perhaps (key word) a bunch of stuff came together in a way which caused it to form something like a brain, with consciousness and experiences etc
09:49:59 <Nothing\> but stuck in the infinite void of space
09:50:18 <Nothing\> so the idea is that the world is a "hallucanation" created by said brain
09:50:40 <Nothing\> of course it's pretty far fetched, and i'm sure my summary is incorrect in several ways but still
09:50:50 <Nothing\> it seems right up your alley
09:50:56 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
09:51:07 <Nothing\> Ampera, i believe you're right though
09:51:17 <Nothing\> we try so hard to attribute meaning to our lives and the events in them
09:51:18 <Ampera> That's the other thing though. I don't actually care much about metaphysics
09:51:31 <Nothing\> but why do they need to have meaning? other than to make us feel better?
09:51:42 <Nothing\> especially if you're atheist
09:51:48 <Ampera> Trying hard to give your life meaning is nothing wrong. The mistake is expecting meaning to be given to you
09:51:51 <Nothing\> if they have meaning, something had to have given them meaning
09:52:01 <Nothing\> -no absolutely not
09:52:03 <Ampera> I disagree. Nobody gives you meaning.
09:52:07 <Nothing\> i agree you should find your purpose in life
09:52:20 <Ampera> You yourself are the only person capable of determining what the meaning of your life is.
09:52:23 <Nothing\> but trying to find meaning in every little thing, that's a bit far fetched
09:52:38 <Ampera> Even if you define that in terms of other people, it's still your own definition
09:52:58 <Nothing\> lol like i remember my daughter telling me years ago there was a problem with my ex's birth control pills that meant she had to stop taking them (and take something else presumably)
09:53:16 <Nothing\> but my exwife took it as a sign from god that they were meant to have something like their 5th kid
09:53:54 <Nothing\> i mean, i look for and find signs from god plenty. But even I think that's far fetched.
09:54:34 <Ampera> God is a means through which people find meaning. If people see god as telling them to do something, then it's only themselves telling them that they want to do so.
09:54:56 <Nothing\> that's something i've considered myself
09:55:13 <Nothing\> how many of these signs from god are just my subconscious guiding me
09:55:38 <Ampera> all of them
09:56:24 <Ampera> I believe every world view is correct given the assertions people made to gain them. What people believe is simply another, convoluted way of seeing the world.
09:56:49 <Ampera> In the right context, one's own subconscious could be considered god.
09:56:56 <Nothing\> i mean, i have ZERO doubt of god's existence. But for me to explain why would be akin to me telling you about a dream i had and expecting you to have the exact same emotional reaction. It's a deeply personal and subjective experience that was meant JUST for me. It's inevitably going to be lost on anyone I tell. Except maybe those christians like my ex who attribute everything to God.
09:57:12 <Nothing\> that's why I don't normally talk about my religious experiences
09:57:22 <Ampera> I believe I am god.
09:57:32 <Nothing\> I did too at one point
09:57:37 <Nothing\> as part of my solipsism
09:57:56 <Ampera> Is it a good time to mention I believe in last thursdayism too?
09:58:08 <Nothing\> and actually even now I feel like my mental state has some sort of acausal effect on reality
09:58:19 <Nothing\> lol i've never heard of that
09:58:33 <Ampera> It's the belief that the entirety of the universe and everything in it was created last thursday
09:58:57 <Ampera> and that each thursday, a new universe is created, and the prior one ceases to exist, or to have ever existed.
09:59:25 <Nothing\> the thing is too, being mentally ill and prone to delusions, I have to be VERY careful about what I believe. Although my delusions have never caused me to do anything dangerous or harmful to me or anyone else so I don't see any problem with them.
09:59:40 <Nothing\> aside from causing confusing and leading me down the wrong path(s)
09:59:52 <Nothing\> Ampera, that's interesting
10:00:03 <Nothing\> it's like how I always say your memories up until now are false etc etc
10:00:08 <Nothing\> you know the whole spiel
10:00:16 <Ampera> I have an extraordinarily strong grip on reality.
10:00:35 <Ampera> I think it comes from playing video games as a kid, or more importantly, not being allowed to play most violent video games.
10:00:59 <Ampera> It taught me to cherish the divide between reality and fiction, as I could very rarely experience the other side of it, at least when it was something my parents disliked.
10:01:10 <Nothing\> Ampera, do you? Or has your mind just convinced you that you have? Because one thing I've found is that one's psyche is very reluctant to let go of the fact that not everything it experiences/remembers was accurate.
10:01:17 <Ampera> However I've gained it, it's proven to be one of the most instrumental assets in my life.
10:01:53 <Ampera> I know nothing and I am wrong. That's been obvious to me for a long time.
10:02:09 <steve30> o/
10:02:12 <Ampera> But in the same, yet obverse means, I know I am capable of things, and I can be right.
10:02:27 <Ampera> Knowing the boundary of where you can be right and wrong is, I believe, the definition of understanding reality.
10:02:40 <Ampera> or, at least, knowing that you cannot know that boundary.
10:02:46 <jaymax> Hey steve30
10:03:00 <Nothing\> for example, when I started abusing sedatives, one of the side effects is amnesia. So I would do things, spend entire nights with people, and not even remember that it happened, much less what transpired. And my friends would always tell me about things I said or did while in this state, and I would never believe them because I had no memories of the events. So my psyche figured if I don't have any memory of it in
10:03:01 <Nothing\> not have happened
10:03:09 <Ampera> don't mind us, just making sure everyone with a teletype wastes as much paper and ink as possible.
10:03:20 <Nothing\> lol teletype
10:03:33 <Nothing\> no wait i'm thinking of teletext
10:03:43 <jaymax> Telex?
10:03:52 <Ampera> teletext has nothing to do with telex
10:04:03 <Nothing\> teletext, it was a UK thing in the 80s or 90s that combined TV with internet or something
10:04:06 <jaymax> Toilet paper faxes
10:04:08 <Ampera> wasn't a UK thing
10:04:14 <Nothing\> Ampera, no?
10:04:16 <Ampera> it was most certainly a thing in much of europe
10:04:18 <Nothing\> europe?
10:04:20 <Nothing\> ah
10:04:24 <Ampera> it also existed here in limited capacity
10:04:37 <Nothing\> i assumed it was UK because it was mentioned in a David Firth cartoon
10:04:40 * Ampera goes to rip more CDs
10:04:44 <steve30> We had teletext will about 2012
10:04:47 <steve30> *till
10:05:05 <steve30> Although it was a barebones service by then
10:05:06 <Nothing\> wow
10:05:54 <Nothing\> wtf
10:06:45 <Nothing\> i got this stuff that comes in a diffuser for my cats called Feliway friends, that's supposed to have pheromones from the mother that help calm them dawn and not attack eachother.
10:06:52 <steve30> I'm just going through my video tape from Saturday. Its funny how the counter-protesters are calling the protester "racists", when one of said protesters is black.
10:07:07 <Nothing\> I'm skeptical as hell about whether it even has this pheromone in it since it never actually says what the stuff is called
10:07:18 <Nothing\> but looking at the MSDS, it's 95% petroleum distillates
10:08:47 <jaymax> steve30: making sense is setting up a homestead.
10:09:02 <jaymax> Hehe
10:16:03 <jaymax> Damn, I'm nearing the end of Re-Animator and it would be nice if I can say it's the weirdest porno, but I've watched worse.
10:20:47 <jaymax> Ooooh, tentacle monster bit as well, via the intestines.
10:33:27 <Nothing\> jaymax, you clearly haven't seen the Simpsons Porno
10:33:34 <Nothing\> or the lemon stealing whore
10:34:02 <Nothing\> or really any of the pornos based on sunday evening cartoons of the 2010s
10:35:53 <jaymax> "Clown Porn" is weirder than Re-Animator, and that's still tame overall.
10:37:23 <jaymax> Bug Eater 2: Cockroach Girl and you're getting warmer.
10:42:54 <Nothing\> i remember a really weird one i saw on American Satellite when I had it in the late 90's.
10:43:42 <Nothing\> it was an old woman who was missing her dead husband. So she dug his false teeth out of a drawer and masturbated with them.
10:44:33 <jaymax> Elder porn. Hmmmmm
10:46:34 <jaymax> > false teeth

10:48:59 <Nothing\> so i have a question about a circuit i'm considering trying
10:49:18 <jaymax> That's offtopic here
10:49:20 <jaymax> Lol
10:50:42 <Ampera> ^
10:51:05 <Ampera> it's amazing how little the eevblog IRC has ever had to do with the eevblog proper
10:51:14 <Nothing\> i've got a terminal block with a neon lamp wired into it, and in the termminals connected to he neon lamp, I have a regular power cable with the ends stripped and the exposed copper in the terminal block, each side make contact with the neon bulb. Now is this something that will work, or will it explode? Kepping in mind I don't plan on touching the terminal blocks or anything while it's turned on.
10:51:16 <Ampera> the old channel especially now
10:52:23 <Nothing\> i'm assuming since the lamp says it's good for 250v it should be fine with 110v but it just feels like it goes against everything that's been drilled into my head as a kid
10:52:41 <Nothing\> i had the same feeling to overcome when I started using DMMs with mains voltage
10:53:10 <Ampera> don't neons need drivers?
10:53:28 <Nothing\> nope, just a resistor
10:53:29 <jaymax> > circuitry external to the neon lamp must limit the current through the circuit or else the current will rapidly increase until the lamp is destroyed.
10:53:37 <Ampera> maybe the tiny ones don't, but I'm fairly sure the bigger ones do
10:53:40 <jaymax> https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neon_lamp
10:53:40 <EEVBot> [wikipedia] Neon lamp | "A neon lamp (also neon glow lamp) is a miniature gas discharge lamp. The lamp typically consists of a small glass capsule that contains a mixture of neon and other gases at a low pressure and two electrodes (an anode and a cathode). When sufficient voltage is applied and sufficient current is supplied between the electrodes, the lamp produces an orange glow discharge.

12:16:26 <Ampera> dude I wish electrohead would do whatever that is all over me
12:16:28 <Ampera> it would be so hot
12:17:56 <jaymax> There will be someone on your nearest transit bus/train ready for that, too.
12:18:35 <Ampera> electrohead shitting all over me at 1 am on a bus in NYC as I sit there with my mouth open taking it is literally stuff I dream about
12:18:45 <jaymax> Or just hang outside an IBD clinic
12:19:33 <jaymax> No need to make fantasies about human beings, here.
12:20:08 <Ampera> You're right, why stop at fantasy when one can make these things a reality.
12:22:45 <Ampera> I'm sure he's probably coming up to NY right now, but more likely to kill me in my sleep than anything I'm saying.

12:47:14 <EEVBlogGuest> Hi there, wondering if anyone knows when the BM235 / 121GW Case will be back in stock.
12:47:57 <Ampera> someone probably does, but this is a general discussion channel, not a support hotline
12:49:25 <EEVBlogGuest> Thanks. I've ordered some stuff from Dave from Amazon, this is my first time ordering off the website since you can only get 121GWs that way. Would the store support email address from https://www.eevblog.com/about/contact/ be the best place to send an email for a response?
12:49:30 <EEVBot> [url] Contact – EEVblog | www.eevblog.com
12:50:35 <Ampera> You can try it. Last I knew Dave usually answers it. The forum might be a better place, but I am almost sure the response you'll get in either case is probably "when it gets here"
12:52:22 <EEVBlogGuest> Would not be surprised! I don't have a forum account but can make one, but I don't see which forum/child board would be most appropriate for a store question.
12:53:48 <Ampera> As I said, nobody here likely knows. It's such a common question though (plenty of people have come in here asking), that I'm sure if Dave had some means to relay the status, he'd already have something for it.
12:54:31 <Ampera> If you send a polite email he might at least tell you as much.
12:54:50 <EEVBlogGuest> Not surprised about that either :-) That'll be my next step then, appreciate the advice!
12:55:24 <electrohead> Forums are definitely the better option
12:55:43 <Ampera> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
12:55:52 <Ampera> when in doubt, put something in general
12:56:04 <Ampera> or something in the eevblog category
12:56:20 <EEVBlogGuest> I can go that way then - I don't see the best place to post such a question though, nothing under the EEVblog section makes sense
12:56:29 <EEVBlogGuest> Okay, General it is.
12:57:23 <electrohead> I spotted a discussion in the test equipment thread, for the 121GW. But yeah, general is probably best, then someone will probably say "look here" (lol)
13:00:15 <electrohead> Still want to get the 121GW eventually, curious how well the data logging is
13:00:46 <Ampera> The pocket meter that Dave gave me ages ago is still in my toolbag
13:00:48 <Ampera> I use it on occasion
13:02:40 <electrohead> Nice :p
13:03:07 <electrohead> Yeah techically my Radio Shack meter supports data logging, but it's only over USB, whereas an SD card is a better option
13:06:38 <EEVBlogGuest> Yeah, I'm gunning for the 121GW because of the data logging functionality. I got something that keeps browning out that I want to get some instrumentation on and figure out what's going on, so I've got two 121GWs in the cart, and it'd be nice to get cases to go with them.
13:06:44 <EEVBlogGuest> If only the BM036 had data logging too
13:08:09 <Ampera> My toaster keeps browning out.
13:08:15 <Ampera> Does a damn good job of it, too.
13:08:30 <EEVBlogGuest> Jesus appears on it too?
13:08:41 <Ampera> wha
13:08:43 <electrohead> Lol
13:09:05 <Ampera> idk man, my toaster was cheap, not free.

13:12:12 <electrohead> haha
13:13:31 <Ampera> I'd fuck jesus, but I have the feeling he might take after his dad. Just gonna leave me with the kid.

15:39:39 <electrohead> Why you have good timing
15:39:43 <Halcyon> Oh yeh?
15:40:01 <electrohead> I just got the partitioning correct for the CF card, for the Atari 800
15:40:09 <Halcyon> Ooooh!
15:40:16 <Halcyon> When you doing a stream?
15:40:20 <electrohead> Found a massive collection of games, slapped those on the CF card, booted, and .. so many games
15:40:37 <electrohead> Not sure yet, I do want to get a decent mic
15:40:41 <Halcyon> NCommander style
15:40:50 <electrohead> and then figure out how I want to set everything up
15:40:54 <Halcyon> You can just talk shit and not really have to worry about a script
15:41:20 <electrohead> Yeah I'm not worried about anything, it's just how I want to do things, software, figuring out how to broadcast, bla bla
15:41:26 <electrohead> Never did it before, but seems to be straight forward
15:43:11 <Halcyon> Fair enough
15:43:27 <Halcyon> You could always just do the Discords to start then see how you go
15:44:18 <electrohead> Ahh, yeah fair, I can set up a virtual device, and send the OBS stream to that, I presume?
15:44:35 <Halcyon> I guess so?

21:29:26 <Ampera> tch, watcha gonna do about them
21:36:17 <jaymax> hmmmm, maybe there should be a protest about it.
21:36:54 <steve30> Ampera, you should come with me to one :)
21:37:14 <steve30> lol, Dave uploaded a Shorts and disabled comments :D
21:37:47 <Ampera> That's alright steve30, I think I'll keep my kneecaps.
21:39:30 <steve30> I might have assistance at this weekends, which might make it a bit easier than that one in Leeds a couple of months ago

22:14:00 <Ampera> never had it before
22:14:13 <Halcyon> I feel like fish now
22:14:26 <Ampera> maybe that's a sign you should take a shower

22:16:20 <Halcyon> I'm sure it used to be less?
22:16:25 <Ampera> that's not flat rate
22:16:43 <Ampera> flat rate == same price regardless of usage
22:16:54 <Halcyon> Oh yeh, no, we pay for usages
22:16:56 <Halcyon> *usage
22:16:58 <Ampera> not here :)

22:18:14 <Ampera> these people need to fucking chill
22:18:15 <Halcyon> It's free (or near free) from the tap and it won't give you the poops
22:18:27 <Ampera> I never buy bottled water here
22:18:28 <jaymax> Not in North America either.
22:18:31 <Ampera> I drink the tap water on a daily basis
22:18:35 <Halcyon> Same
22:18:43 <Halcyon> Except I keep it in the fridge, I like chilled water
22:18:49 <Ampera> ours is cold out of the tap
22:18:50 <jaymax> Yea
22:18:58 <jaymax> Fridged
22:19:04 <Halcyon> Also, I like bubbly water
22:19:10 <Halcyon> I now I have a Sodastream for that
22:19:15 <Ampera> I hate seltzer water
22:19:19 * jaymax has kombicha for that
22:19:28 <jaymax> kumbitcha
22:19:28 <Ampera> I don't mind sodas, but for some reason just plain seltzer water is undrinkable to me
22:19:44 <Halcyon> I don't like sweet things like soda
22:19:53 <Halcyon> Very occasionally I'll have some
22:19:59 <Ampera> I very rarely drink soda. Pretty much only when I'm out to eat somewhere
22:20:08 <Halcyon> Usually just water with lemon or lime squeezed in
22:20:24 <Ampera> I just drink water
22:20:25 <Ampera> or tea
22:20:36 <Ampera> I sweeten my tea, but I use sucralose drops
22:21:13 <jaymax> Ah, the sweet left hand.
22:21:14 <Halcyon> You're such an old nanna Ampera
22:21:48 <Halcyon> I should pack my bag for tomorrow
22:21:57 <Ampera> You're not far off. Healthy, wise, and strangely perverted.

22:23:19 <Halcyon> He orded some tat off ebay, but he got all moist about it
22:23:24 <Halcyon> Worth mentioning I suppose
22:23:25 <Halcyon> :)
22:23:32 <Ampera> he was shitting all over me and the channel yesterday
22:23:34 <Ampera> was kinda grody
22:23:50 <Halcyon> I thought the German side of you would enjoy that?
22:23:55 <Ampera> I didn't say no.
