00:26:46 <EEVBot> [url] Scunthorpe General Hospital patient died after power cut during surgery - BBC News | www.bbc.co.uk
00:27:14 <MrMobodies> Shouldn't the hospitals have backup power supplies for certain things in hospital?
00:28:20 <MrMobodies> Oh they did but it seemed to manfunctioned
00:28:52 <steve30> ooh, ""iatrogenic dissection"", i like that term :)
00:29:50 <MrMobodies> "eop was acivated" which affected the backup.... incompetence? "wait for an engineer" NONE ON SITE for this nature of emergencies.
00:30:44 <MrMobodies> at the same time 10 minutes don't sound very long and maybe there was one on site.
00:31:32 <MrMobodies> ""Had staff been aware of the exact cause... they had the opportunity to reset the circuit without the need to await the arrival of an engineer" So it was incompetence
00:31:49 <MrMobodies> "iatrogenic dissection"... to me it doesn't sound very nice
00:32:05 <MrMobodies> like anything involving operatatios and blood
00:32:46 <MrMobodies> "arrival on engineer" so one had to rush to hospital.
00:35:38 <MrMobodies> they only time I like it is during horror/psyhcopathic murder films as I know it's not real.

01:08:59 <MrMobodies> Gone BACK to using LOUSY MINDLESS stock photo's.
01:09:07 <MrMobodies> not needed
01:09:45 <MrMobodies> even having one taken by the BBC in a shop with someone picking up something
01:09:56 <MrMobodies> I wonder, is it to make the article look bigger
01:11:02 <MrMobodies> Hid that class element but they do have one taken by someone for the article that seems relavent
01:11:04 <MrMobodies> "Lewis Clare
01:11:04 <MrMobodies> Image caption,
01:11:04 <MrMobodies> Lewis Clare's family farm near Manchester has been running for 250 years"
01:11:25 <MrMobodies> those are the ones I want to see not mindless ones
02:50:25 <arch> cuz you're a fatass. stop eating so much and making a supply shortage
03:12:21 <steve30> hot roast chickens were on offer at Morrisons today for £5

05:15:05 * electrohead hires arch to tow his car
05:17:50 * arch ties electrohead with rope to his car, hangs a dollar bill off a fishing pole, and lures electrohead
05:28:16 <MrMobodies> I brought 1 Yusas GP 12V 12a battery about this time year i think and a CSB one batteries which is supplied with the UPS
05:28:52 <MrMobodies> Two APC SC, one white and one black and moved the other out.
05:29:43 <MrMobodies> exactly the same, but one has a CSB and the other Yuasa. I found with a testing tool that the CSB had what was it 20% more runtime
05:30:15 <MrMobodies> Anyway one started to overload a month ago on every powercut or trip
05:30:42 <electrohead> lol
05:30:43 <MrMobodies> turned out to be the Yuasa, I put in a spare CSB no problems
05:30:49 <electrohead> fuck yeah! tow driver is on his way :D
05:31:17 <MrMobodies> what happened with the tow driver? anything to do with your car?
05:32:10 <MrMobodies> I found at my local CO-OP that just opened, Wagon Wheels. I hadn't had them for over ten years
05:32:32 <MrMobodies> I opened one and it tasted HORRIBLE and nothing like what i remembered
05:32:53 <MrMobodies> looking at the back, palm oil okay but "beef gellatine"
05:33:38 <MrMobodies> I don't remember them having beef gelatine before but anyway I puked it all out in the bag and it's going in the bin, absolutely revolting

05:33:57 <MrMobodies> I thought all that crap was to make it taste nice but they can't manage that anymore.
05:40:43 <MrMobodies> impressive how all the information is gather up with the Google AI thing
05:40:45 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/KcBgOcC.png
05:41:34 <MrMobodies> Seems accurate and no I didn't taste any jam in these, they were just dry and bland.

07:56:19 <MrMobodies> Hello
07:56:38 <MrMobodies> I remember this old comedy from the 70's called "On the buses"
07:58:24 <MrMobodies> I remember along the lines, Inspector: "So your bus was just standing there whilst the wall went into you at 70mph.
07:59:15 <MrMobodies> A Virgin Atlantic cabin crew member was removed 4 times over the alcohol limit.
07:59:38 <MrMobodies> "The defendant blames a car crash prior to her shift on a steering problem with her car and a condition that may interfere with her ability to process alcohol, magistrates were told."
08:00:04 <MrMobodies> It reminds me of the same thing of the bus just standing there and the wall travelling into bus.
08:02:58 <MrMobodies> I find it amazing the excuses they come out noaways like one i use to find out of comedy.

08:45:44 <rust_collector> MrMobodies, what kind of gelatin would you prefer, in your marshmallows?
09:00:47 <MrMobodies> vegetable
09:01:28 <MrMobodies> I saw some on the co op last week, picked them up when I looked in the back "beef gelatine" I put them back on the shelf.
09:02:39 <MrMobodies> my French shop "Le Mulin" in Hornchurch back at my old address use vegetable mixture
09:02:45 <MrMobodies> for things like mouses
09:02:54 <MrMobodies> that they put in their eclairs
09:03:38 <MrMobodies> absolutely gorgeous and put Sainsbury's and their Chocolate eclairs, that had hardly any chocolate in it to shame.
09:05:23 <rust_collector> obtained from the cell walls of some species of red algae. well, i did not know that.
09:06:55 <rust_collector> can be used as a laxative; an appetite suppressant; a vegan substitute for gelatin; a thickener for soups; in fruit preserves, ice cream, and other desserts; as a clarifying agent in brewing; and for sizing paper and fabrics
09:09:04 <MrMobodies> oh
09:09:08 <MrMobodies> here's one
09:09:09 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/rIykXCk.jpeg
09:09:24 <MrMobodies> a chocolate eclair with chocolate mousse
09:10:42 <MrMobodies> A strawberry mousse on it's own with some jelly

09:11:12 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/bMtpVdR.jpeg
09:11:34 <MrMobodies> Apart from the rectuangular ones all three would have gone in one night
09:11:51 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/nTwnkzp.jpeg
09:12:10 <MrMobodies> I like how they mix the strawberries inside
09:13:35 <rust_collector> in one night? that would be gone in about 13 minutes here
09:13:51 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/8J0MrFO.jpeg
09:13:55 <MrMobodies> A chocolate bunion
09:14:29 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/dZARbMa.jpeg
09:14:42 <MrMobodies> I should have gone into Sainsbury's with one of these and had a right go at them.
09:15:16 <MrMobodies> that their limited crappy overpriced things do not include decent choices
09:15:59 <rust_collector> why? just stop buying their stuff. that is how they change what they have
09:16:15 <MrMobodies> Oh that's where I never use to eat much cakes
09:16:23 <MrMobodies> and all the other shops were the same
09:17:44 <MrMobodies> like Tesco's Morisson, Somefields, all selling the same things that look the same... no choice. A "chocolate" eclair filled with horrible tasting cream and a tiny tiny slithering of chocolate ontop.
09:18:07 <rust_collector> so? just dont but that
09:18:09 <MrMobodies> why can't they call it a cream eclair
09:18:14 <MrMobodies> I was wondering
09:18:20 <MrMobodies> no
09:18:23 <MrMobodies> I didn
09:18:34 <rust_collector> so, there is no problem
09:18:35 <MrMobodies> but when the French shop opened
09:18:49 <MrMobodies> and realized I had a choice
09:19:21 <rust_collector> you always have that
09:19:27 <MrMobodies> I mean, all these supermarket chains seem to sell the same thing hardly no choice at the time like it was a monoply
09:19:35 <MrMobodies> oh not always
09:19:45 <MrMobodies> look at my glass lenses same problem
09:19:48 <rust_collector> sure, because you can simply...not
09:20:04 <MrMobodies> I think not is is getting better though
09:20:10 <rust_collector> your lenses have face chocolate?
09:20:21 <MrMobodies> Vision Express now sells glass lenses if requested but not back in the 2000's
09:20:23 <rust_collector> fake
09:20:32 <MrMobodies> if you buy it from one of their brands
09:20:49 <MrMobodies> but the issue is the frames they have don't fit my wide head
09:21:08 <rust_collector> well, then you go somewhere else?
09:21:41 <MrMobodies> well it was hard finding them. It took me years
09:21:53 <MrMobodies> Gills, one of them employees were mis informed
09:22:09 <MrMobodies> but the son of the owner ordered me some which I still use today
09:22:25 <MrMobodies> 2009, no change in 2019 from an eye test
09:22:34 <MrMobodies> and they still tint like he said it would
09:23:01 <MrMobodies> Gills has sold his business after lockdown
09:23:19 <MrMobodies> BUT I found one in March town center close by that does have a glass laboratry
09:23:26 <MrMobodies> and did try to help
09:23:56 <MrMobodies> but the Ray Ban frames had a higher nose bridge which sank into my skin (no fault I dind't see what would happen)
09:24:16 <MrMobodies> I had one from America in 2020 and now the lenses were out
09:24:26 Join: Halcyon ([email protected]) to #eevblog
09:24:28 <MrMobodies> I put them in, same little gap like the Rayban but holds the lens in
09:25:24 <MrMobodies> Macrhon Vintage Japan

09:25:54 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/u8P8f8v.jpeg
09:26:02 <MrMobodies> Rayban frame, notice the nose bridge
09:26:17 <MrMobodies> it is higher, and it was pushing down on the skin under my eye
09:26:35 <MrMobodies> I'll use them for spare if these break to get me by
09:26:46 <MrMobodies> Notice how it tints in the light
09:27:02 <MrMobodies> Gill told me they these crystalls in them that apparently never wear out
09:27:19 <MrMobodies> whereas the plastics have the tinting coated on them so they could flake off over itme
09:27:46 <MrMobodies> that Ray Ban was the only frames that would fit in that shop
09:28:15 <MrMobodies> and I forgot about the vintage purple ones I got on Ebay in 2020 from America
09:29:52 <MrMobodies> Gill sent me a spare set in 2020 during lock down which was suppose to be the same prescription but they're not. They seem out. The glass lens came from somewhere in Europe has his last glass laboratory shut down.
09:30:07 <MrMobodies> it'd blur when looking in the corners
09:30:52 <rust_collector> did you hear about the issues with sending packages to the us? but only if they are at a too low value
09:47:14 <Halcyon> I just sent a package to the US, hopefully it gets there
09:47:46 <rust_collector> I think they said friday was the last day, before the problems start
10:01:02 <MrMobodies> anything to do with waiting for tax
10:03:20 <rust_collector> waiting... well, if I got it right, the problem was that low value things, needs to have the taxes paid, before shipping, and there just is no system in place for that yet.

14:41:58 <MrMobodies> would be interesting to know whether he himself or the DVLA picked that opticians in London.
