01:17:55 <Ampera> T3sl4, girl would make more sense for the character
01:18:03 <Ampera> (I'm presuming you haven't seen Frieren)
01:18:08 <T3sl4> interestingly enough
02:00:56 <arch> typical, emotionless, deadeye female anime character. note even a dime a dozen; more like a penny a dozen

02:49:06 <Kuschelpony> on the positive side, i received a cute pair of N O S voltmeter and amperemeter from the classifieds, on the other side i need an aluminium plate and totally redo my front panel that i had made based on the size of similar looking but larger meters
04:07:36 <K> maybe you can 3d print some adapters?
04:12:08 <Kuschelpony> tht would look as s... as adding metal adapter plates, itsjust the "right" size difference that nothing fits anywhere well
04:15:50 <K> dang.
04:32:53 <rust_collector5> so, I guess the thing is... dont do anything, until you have to, lol
04:41:05 <coppice> so, you are pro crastination
04:51:22 <Kuschelpony> oh, that a pretty nice one https://www.st.com/en/power-management/l6981.html
04:52:56 <Kuschelpony> hmmm, thinking about a compact two-quadrant power supply
05:17:37 <coppice> 2 quadrants is really limited. Why not 4?
05:20:40 <Kuschelpony> ah, inverting polarity makes things much more complicated, than just a sync-buck regulator that works as in reverse as a boost to battery charger

05:39:39 <coppice> Kuschelpony: inverting is not that had. sweeping smoothly through zero brings issues.
05:39:55 <coppice> s/had/hard
05:39:55 <EEVBot> coppice meant to say: Kuschelpony: inverting is not that hard. sweeping smoothly through zero brings issues.

09:07:21 <arch> how do you do, fellow cheetos?
09:38:15 <arch> ahh yes, gotta love instructables. look up how to build a diy table saw... see one of the required tools being... a table saw. thanks for the support, asshole!

09:49:30 <coppice> arch: above the stone age level, you need tools to make tools.
09:50:12 <arch> not in the case of a table saw, no. i found other guides that use only basic tools. sure, it's more work and measurements, but it is certainly possible
09:52:16 <coppice> if I wanted to make a saw table I'd probably rent one for a weekend to make one of my own
10:03:27 <rust_collector5> so, is this one of the "bolt a skilsaw under your table" sort of table saws?
10:04:28 <arch> yea

10:07:21 <rust_collector5> well, without looking at the video, he does not say you need a table saw to make that?
10:08:07 <arch> what i mean is, that is ONE of the instructables that do NOT require a table saw to make a table saw
10:08:15 <rust_collector5> oh
10:10:10 <rust_collector5> that is a thick table, there won't be much blade left for cutting, lol. oh well
10:19:43 <arch> i guess the positive is it'll be very sturdy and unlikely to bend
10:19:53 <rust_collector5> sure
10:20:31 <arch> im just trying to clean out my garage, which is filled with random wood scraps and old barnboard, by making something useful to take up the wood boards
10:20:36 <rust_collector5> it will be pretty nice to use, as long as you do not need to cut anything thick.
10:21:46 <arch> the previous owner collected many many solid wood pieces over the years. this house has lived thru a lot of historical events. 1880s house :o
10:21:50 <rust_collector5> well, if these are old boards, and of a size you can use for something, maybe keep them around, as most wood you can get these days is pretty crap
10:21:59 <arch> well, the previous owner and his prior generations
10:23:03 <arch> right, im keeping the old barnboards and such. im just really wanting to use up just the scrap wood pieces, which aren't all that old. old solid wood bed frames for example
10:23:23 <arch> the kind of stuff boomers have around, in other words; while the millenials get stuck with MDF and cardboard wood
10:24:02 * Ampera flushes arch right down the drain, straight to an outlet pipe in da bronx
10:24:12 <rust_collector5> yep, they seem to like cheap crap they need to replace after a few years
10:25:07 <arch> you know what. i think i will diy some shelving out of the scrap wood. i could use some shelves, for keeping my electronics parts
10:25:32 <rust_collector5> okay. go go go
10:25:41 <arch> well, i suck at carpentry
10:25:50 <arch> so i think i will make a picnic table as my first carpentry project lol

10:25:57 <EEVBot> [url] 5 Foot Picnic Table Plans | DIY Projects - Construct101 | www.construct101.com
10:26:05 <rust_collector5> ok, so go do it, so you can get better at it
10:26:53 <arch> i need to follow some plans. i need to get better at measurements and cutting. measure once, cut twice. but for me, i measure twice, cut twice =(
10:27:36 <rust_collector5> the issue I have, is "read the drawing, and lay it out on the wood, in the correct place"
10:28:00 <rust_collector5> I usually end up cutting a notch in the wrong side, and such
10:28:54 <rust_collector5> but, that bench should be a good project, and sort of useful.
10:29:20 <arch> yeah, i can barely use a speed square. making 45degree cuts = easy; tell me to make a 32 degree mark with a speed square and i'll struggle for a bit
10:29:41 <rust_collector5> oh. pocket holes... uhm.
10:30:00 <arch> this is more my skill level, lol: https://www.modernbuilds.com/diy-modern-picnic-table

10:30:16 <arch> just fucking squares lol
10:31:37 <rust_collector5> well, other than all the corners you can scrape your legs on, under the top, that does not look terribly terrible. I mean, it does look terrible, but I think it is more stable than it looks
10:32:38 <Halcyon> Morning pumpkins
10:32:48 <rust_collector5> hello...you
10:33:51 <arch> how do you do, doo?

10:34:56 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera :-)
10:34:59 <Halcyon> Just waking up
10:35:10 <Halcyon> Well been awake for a bit, finally got up, had a shower.
10:35:27 <Halcyon> Rainbow lorikeets woke me up this morning
10:35:37 <Halcyon> How are you?
10:37:09 <arch> whats a lorikeets? like a parakeet?
10:37:19 <Ampera> I am watching anime with a friend
10:37:26 <arch> hah, weeb!
10:37:29 <Ampera> gay anime
10:37:44 <Halcyon> It's a rainbow coloured parrot. Like flying Skittles
10:38:03 <Halcyon> We've had a few start hanging around the house. They come for snacks
10:38:21 <arch> i love parakeets, but they are loud buggers. especially when they get "upset" or "mad"
10:38:37 <Ampera> I love women
10:38:39 <Ampera> women are hot
10:38:45 <arch> i agree
10:38:48 <rust_collector5> maybe put their snacks in rat traps, and see what they taste like
10:38:54 <Ampera> I love men too
10:38:56 <Ampera> men are also hot

10:39:58 <Ampera> where are you flying
10:39:59 <Halcyon> I don't want to sit near people
10:40:11 <Halcyon> Just to Devonport in Tasmania for a work thing
10:41:30 <rust_collector5> maybe you can sit on the veranda? they are usually free
10:41:48 * Ampera stuffs Halcyon in a large dog carrier
10:41:51 <Ampera> there you go
10:42:03 <Halcyon> I hope I just get upgraded to Business Class using my points, but I don't like the chances
10:42:14 <rust_collector5> hm, veranda, it is a balcony, maybe.

13:29:36 <MrMobodies> I wonder is Trump trying to buy the NHS again.
13:30:59 <MrMobodies> I see "Channel4 Dispatches revealed that trade talks between the Trump administration and Boris Johsnson’s government had discussed “drug pricing” to try to allow US pharmaceutical firms to charge the NHS more for their products."
13:31:04 <MrMobodies> So they were up to no good.

22:04:54 <steve30> mmm, coffee
22:04:58 * steve30 meows
22:05:56 <electrohead> steve30, want to come solder some things for me?
22:11:47 * steve30 has a print head soaking in distilled water atm
22:22:16 <electrohead> normally I don't give up with electronics, but printers are an exception
22:22:46 <electrohead> I've dedicated over 24 hours once to restoring a printer, ended up giving up completely
22:23:13 <steve30> This inkjet is nearly 20 years old and works nicely, but I don't use it that often. I've found giving the head a soak can help
23:13:00 <MrMobodies> Someone once gave me an Epson Workforce that was a brick doorstep since 2016
23:13:12 <MrMobodies> they brought £5 cartridges and it leaked everywhere
23:13:30 <MrMobodies> In 2020, I cleaned it all up, brought some printheads and flushed it
23:13:34 <MrMobodies> an it started to work
23:13:46 <MrMobodies> I showed them pictures and wanted them to pick it up
23:13:53 <MrMobodies> anyway I printed off it every day
23:14:11 <MrMobodies> a week later, it starte printing nothing
23:14:26 <MrMobodies> and flagged up this error code that wasn't even in the manual
23:15:07 <MrMobodies> I can't remember the details but I gave up after trying to find what could be wrong
23:15:32 <MrMobodies> absolutely devastated about wasting my time, effort and money buying the printhead and cleaner
23:15:38 <MrMobodies> and the ink
23:16:17 <MrMobodies> the good thing about cartriges with the printhead built in or toner I don't have those problems
23:16:22 <MrMobodies> with blockages
23:16:31 <MrMobodies> or expensive printheads
23:17:09 <MrMobodies> Landlady has a smart meter installed. I thought her old was one but it wasn't
23:17:43 <MrMobodies> they told her she'd get a display but they came up with the same bullshit as next door to the Violin shop that because they are a business they won't get one
23:18:00 <MrMobodies> basically they lied to her
23:18:27 <MrMobodies> she has to use this "app" an in overview they have this oversimplified thing that puts even me off
23:19:08 <MrMobodies> but in the details pain it is a lot better, bar graph by the day and arrow to KWH, by days of week and by days of month.
23:19:52 <MrMobodies> I have something using an old phone and one of those currentcost meters I put next door
23:20:15 <MrMobodies> what is also STUPID, on the meter, it has an up and down arrow
23:20:30 <MrMobodies> to press enter she has to press both for 3 seconds
23:20:46 <MrMobodies> she needs to go to two menu's I think to get the KWH reading
23:21:02 <MrMobodies> I'd be very unhappy about that. It SHOULD be on the display
23:21:51 <MrMobodies> They shouldn't have to flaff around with a few buttons pressing and waiting to get to something that was simple and on display before.
23:22:34 <MrMobodies> What if I am measuring something and need the KWH display showing and it goes back to the menu or the screen shuts off
23:23:54 <MrMobodies> I think the Smart meter next door shows the KWH reading all the time but the shop keeper had to get up on a ladder to read it.
23:25:02 <MrMobodies> I notice it has top up mode/options built into it.
23:25:27 <MrMobodies> It also has a Toshiba Comms module which I never seen before.
23:27:12 <MrMobodies> I think this is the one she got from Eon
