11:55:20 <rust_collector> it is slow release ritalin, iIrc
11:55:20 <K> yeah
11:55:20 <Nothing\> I'm no medical professional but i can at least give you my educated opinion. I'm ADHD as well and have been through the whole routine.
11:55:20 <Nothing\> rust_collector, oh okay
11:55:20 <Nothing\> ritalin doesn't seem AS Bad
11:55:20 <Nothing\> but like I said, you can't say. Not even a doctor.
11:55:20 <K> as i understand it does different things if one is adhd-inclined
11:55:20 <Nothing\> everyone reacts different. But the lower the dose they can have success with, the less likely they are going to have side effects
11:55:20 <Nothing\> K, but yeah last time I tried a time release ritalin like your SO is on, I stopped after 2 days due to the anxiety. But I also suffer from generalized anxiety disorder.
11:55:20 <K> i see
11:55:20 <rust_collector> I should try this, I need some anxiety
11:55:20 <Nothing\> my suggestion is play it by ear and talk to your doctor if anything happens
11:55:20 <K> well, she is not ON it, just for times when adhd can not totaly be tolerated
11:55:20 <Nothing\> oh, that's different
11:55:20 <Nothing\> i didn't know it was/could be used that way
11:55:20 <K> as i said - mild adhd
11:55:20 <Nothing\> indeed i guess that would play into it
11:55:20 <Nothing\> mine's so bad i can't even read a fuckin wiki article. It's so frustrating.
11:55:20 <Nothing\> I used to be able to "plow through it" just trying over and over and over again until i finally got it. But these days I just find myself reading the same intro over and over again each time i try and I never get any further.
11:55:20 <rust_collector> mine is so bad, that I have been working for the postal thing here for 19 years. So, have fun, I am going to work
11:55:20 <Nothing\> Plus I'm on a lot of sedating medications, benzos AND opiates AND cannabis, so i fall asleep almost instantly if i stop moving
11:55:20 <Nothing\> not literally, but reading will put me out within minutes
11:55:20 <Nothing\> rust_collector, have a good day at work
11:55:21 <Nothing\> wait, isn't it like 4pm there
11:55:21 <rust_collector> no. but thanks, I guess
11:55:21 <rust_collector> it is like 5
11:55:21 <Nothing\> ah, dst
11:55:21 <Nothing\> rust_collector, how do you pronounce "norge"?
11:55:21 <Nothing\> is it "norgy" or "norjy" or "norg-ay"
11:55:21 <rust_collector> like a german would pronounce it
11:55:21 <rust_collector> it does not have any Ys in it
11:55:21 <Nothing\> no, it's norge
11:55:21 <Nothing\> but the ge could be pronounced is gy
11:55:21 <Nothing\> that's how my mind pronounces it "norgy"
11:55:21 <Nothing\> which i know is dead wrong
11:55:21 <rust_collector> an e over here, is pronounced like an e, and not like an english e, which sounds like an european i
11:55:21 <Nothing\> but norgay just sounds... you know
11:55:21 <Nothing\> like a word
11:55:21 <rust_collector> norga would be closer, I guess
11:55:21 <Nothing\> yeah i know i is usually prounced as ee. I've actually accidentally pronounced i as ee before myself.
11:55:21 <rust_collector> english a is closer to out e
11:55:21 <Nothing\> saying like "it's the letter ee, err i mean i"
11:55:21 <Nothing\> ah
11:55:21 <Nothing\> european pronunciations in general make more sense to me
11:55:21 <Nothing\> even pronouncing w as v. They call it double U but i'll be damned if those look like Us
11:55:21 <rust_collector> this is not far off https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP1qni3RHXE
11:55:21 <Nothing\> i dunno about norwegian, but in french it's even called double ve
11:55:21 <rust_collector> well, you have details like the german v that sounds like f, so they use the w as a v
11:55:21 <Nothing\> that is, doubla vey
11:55:21 <Ampera> wack
11:55:21 <Nothing\> also, the french word for potato is apple of ground (or earth?)
11:55:21 <Nothing\> i'm still not sure what terre means
11:55:21 <Nothing\> it's always been an amusing literal translation though
11:55:21 <rust_collector> ok, have fun investigating that
11:55:21 <Nothing\> i have more fun investigating my body
11:55:21 <Nothing\> i remember the first time i saw my asshole in the mirror, man
11:55:21 <Nothing\> it blew my fucking mind
11:55:21 <Nothing\> (credit to adam sandler)
11:55:21 <Nothing\> okay i should play cities skylines
11:55:21 <Nothing\> except i have money for expansions now and don't know what i should get
11:55:22 <Nothing\> fuckin $550 for all of them, can you believe that?
11:55:22 <Nothing\> worse milking a franchise than the sims
11:55:22 <Nothing\> apparently the sequel is one of those games that practically nobody can run properly
11:55:22 <Nothing\> made for hardware that doesn't exist yet
11:55:22 <steve30> o/
11:55:22 <Nothing\> jdta ;kd.ds!!
11:55:22 <Nothing\> erm

11:55:22 <Blackdog> Hi, first post on this irc channel
11:55:22 <Ampera> but the real question is
11:55:22 <Ampera> will it be your last, too?
11:55:22 <Ysjoelfir> The question is.... WHAT... IS... THE QUESTION???
11:55:22 <Ampera> YSJOELFIR
11:55:22 <Ampera> has anyone told you that you are a cool guy today?
11:55:22 <Ysjoelfir> HOW MUCH IS THE FISH???
11:55:22 <Blackdog> That will depend on what I will find here.
11:55:22 <Blackdog> Used to hang out on IRC with my computer friends.
11:55:23 <Blackdog> Maybe I will find some electronics friends here, time will tell ;-)
11:55:23 Join: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) to #eevblog
11:55:23 <Ysjoelfir> oh
11:55:23 <Ysjoelfir> ok
11:55:23 <Ysjoelfir> am I?
11:55:23 <Ysjoelfir> I should change that
11:55:23 <Ampera> yes yes you are
11:55:23 <Ampera> you are very cool guy
11:55:23 <Ampera> the coolest guy since that one guy who got trapped in a freezer and died
11:55:23 <Kuschelpony> good evening again from the place with the very brittle wireless LAN
11:55:23 <Kuschelpony> what did i miss?
11:55:23 <Ysjoelfir> also, hi mr. dog. may I introduce to you Ampera.
11:55:23 <Ysjoelfir> And to Kuschelpony
11:55:23 <Ampera> ew, they wouldn't want to know me
11:55:23 <Ampera> I'm gross
11:55:23 <Ysjoelfir> nah.
11:55:23 <Ampera> discostan
11:55:23 <Ysjoelfir> but: I think I need to go to the basement for a moment, grab a nailgun and nail that leather stuff to my motorcycles seat
11:55:23 <Ysjoelfir> well
11:55:23 <Ysjoelfir> "nail"....
11:55:23 <Ysjoelfir> the stuff you tend to use for making paper stick together.
11:55:23 <Ampera> have fun in the cellar
11:55:23 <Ampera> glue?
11:55:23 <Ysjoelfir> no. the solid stuff
11:55:23 <Ysjoelfir> made from wire
11:55:23 <Ampera> staples?
11:55:23 <Ysjoelfir> yes, that
11:55:23 <Ampera> yeah staples are certainly a staple
11:55:23 <Ysjoelfir> see?
11:55:24 <Ysjoelfir> so, brb
11:55:24 <Ysjoelfir> gonna grab my doggy plushy boots and go down there
11:55:24 <Blackdog> Anyone here who has built anything electronically interesting lately?
11:55:24 <Kuschelpony> currently not at home
11:55:24 <MrMobodies> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39198329
11:55:24 <MrMobodies> well that is disappointing
11:55:24 <MrMobodies> Google search drops cache link from search results
11:55:24 <Ampera> I have been too focused on the conundrum that is my fleeting yet pervasive sense of emotional vanity in order to even contemplate partaking in the prolific pastime of producing products practically applying electricity in an interesting fashion.
11:55:24 <MrMobodies> Electroboom?
11:55:24 <MrMobodies> Phototonicinduction can apply electricity also in an interesting fashion in his videos when he overvoltages things.
11:55:24 <MrMobodies> but he don't take pleasure in electrocuting himself unlike Electroboom
11:55:24 <MrMobodies> I have a question, what if your employer demands to use your webcamera as a cctv camera in the office or when working from home?
11:55:24 <broccoli> A lot of em do
11:55:24 <MrMobodies> I wouldn't mind in some portacabin somewhere with CCTV above you and that but not directed in yer face all the time
11:55:24 <broccoli> Where is the question
11:55:24 <MrMobodies> would you be unhappy?
11:55:24 <Ysjoelfir> depends on the money?
11:55:24 <MrMobodies> a camera starring at you, not above all the time.
11:55:24 <Ysjoelfir> if that would be in my contract I wouldn't give a fuck, if my employer wants to stare at me picking my nose, have fun doing so
11:55:24 <MrMobodies> now that's a great idea
11:55:24 <broccoli> I would probably mess with the camera so it gives a false image
11:55:24 <MrMobodies> maybe no rules for hygiene
11:55:24 <broccoli> with obs basically
11:55:24 <MrMobodies> the bad hygiene would put them off
11:55:24 <broccoli> Also week after next i am getting some hands on training with marine electronics! Vhf/uhf radios and radars
11:55:24 <broccoli> In excite
11:55:24 <MrMobodies> you could make all weired noises too if it is not affecting anyone to annoy them
11:55:24 <broccoli> im excited
11:55:25 <MrMobodies> oooooh
11:55:25 <MrMobodies> I once found this Wintv Marine radio in a big white in at a bootsale in 2016
11:55:25 <MrMobodies> using some wire I was able to get the weather map from it
11:55:25 <MrMobodies> very slow where it was drawing line by line
11:55:25 <MrMobodies> £600 they were worth at the time
11:55:25 <MrMobodies> a bit rusted but it worked and required like a 12v 3.5a power supply I think
11:55:25 <MrMobodies> Joke: Broccoli. that'd be an opportunity for you to look for sea broccoli
