00:04:41 <Nothing\> will it get some wind for the sailboat? and it could get for it is. It could get the railroad for these workers. And it could be where it is. It could be franky, it could be franky, it could be very fresh and clean. It could be a balloon.
00:04:52 <Nothing\> these are the days my friends and these are the days my friends
00:06:24 <Nothing\> But these days of 888 cents and 106 coins of change. Make a Toyota on these, these.
00:07:10 <Nothing\> and so on, in that vein
00:19:06 <Nothing\> i'm afraid i've become hopelessly addicted to a Pokemon game for the first time ever.
01:04:16 <rc-garage> why are you afraid of that?
01:05:17 <arch> afraid of lube?
01:06:39 <Nothing\> cuz i've never been into pokemon. I always saw it as a childish fad. Not like I didn't play pogs or marbles back in the day, myself. But, you know how it is as an adult. You tend to scoff at these things. Which I've done for 25+ years until I decided to buy this one game that's apparently a different style and fell in love with it
01:07:07 <Nothing\> people fear change
01:07:17 <rc-garage> oh
01:07:26 <Nothing\> also, i came to in interesting realization about the geometry of a circle
01:07:36 <rc-garage> bring lube, just in case
01:08:09 <Nothing\> all it is is an infinite number of infinitesimally small lines which are all connected with an angle as close to 180 degrees as possible without actually getting there
01:09:08 <arch> always a good idea to bring lube
01:09:14 <Nothing\> if you can approximate the area of a circle by inscribing a polygon inside of it and the approximation gets closer and closer the more sides you add, it stands to reason an infinite number of sides would yield the exact area
01:09:50 <Nothing\> and since they can't be 180 degrees at the corners, it must be very close without going over. An asymptote
01:10:04 <Nothing\> i dunno why, it was just a random thought i had
01:10:14 <Nothing\> thinking about riemann sums
01:14:19 <Kuschelpony> Nothing, i would call the angle to be the other way around, as a bend, that is approaching 0° as the number of segmetd approach infinity
01:18:51 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, it seems a matter of perspective, is it not? Like how it doesn't matter which direction is positive or negative, as long as you keep to the convention you started with it all works out the same
01:19:37 <Kuschelpony> thats right, i just wanted to say that <i> can calculateangles so much easier and more meaningful as the angle of a bend away fro ma straight line
01:20:05 <Nothing\> ah, i gotcha
01:20:36 <Nothing\> i have issues with that with geogebra. I dunno if you ever use it. But it seems to arbitrarily decide when you're measuring an angle whether it's the inside or outside angle
01:23:50 <Nothing\> Kuschelpony, check out what i found, presumably in my Opa's old things: https://i.ibb.co/W4ZjHt5R/20250826-143548.jpg
01:24:55 <Kuschelpony> nice bottl
01:25:01 <Nothing\> i know, right?
01:25:06 <Nothing\> it looks almost like booze
01:25:12 <Kuschelpony> keep it again 25 years and it might get quite valuable
01:25:18 <Nothing\> i couldn't even imagine the vintage if it was my opa's
01:25:22 <rc-garage> but it only almost tastes like it
01:25:25 <Kuschelpony> hihi, no its like perfume
01:25:34 <Nothing\> yeah, cologne
01:25:41 <Kuschelpony> mmh designs like this are today sold again as retor
01:25:41 <Nothing\> eau de cologne
01:25:45 <Kuschelpony> mmh designs like this are today sold again as retro
01:25:49 <Nothing\> ahh
01:26:09 <Nothing\> well, he hasn't been to germany in decades
01:26:19 <Nothing\> like, 1970s maybe
01:26:23 <Nothing\> *hadn't
01:26:57 <Nothing\> didn't even have to go over to deal with his dual citizenship or the pension he collected
01:27:27 <Nothing\> where in north america you'd have to come back like every year or so to maek sure everything on the up and up
01:27:52 <Nothing\> and check this thing out: https://i.ibb.co/pr0QCL1J/20250826-143340.jpg
01:28:01 <Nothing\> it's a coin purse made of chainmail lol
01:38:45 * electrohead drowns Nothing\ in a vat of lube
01:39:51 * rc-garage remembers he replaced electroheads lube with superglue
02:30:04 <Nothing\> ah a classic prank
02:31:16 <Nothing\> I always wanted to tie a thin, like 0.2mm wire between the two prongs on a male NEMA plug for north america.

05:29:46 <Nothing\> cool, my mum's 40in tv crapped out, so I get to tear it down
05:30:07 <Nothing\> pretty impressive constructive for 15 year old tech
05:40:35 <steve30> LED or CCFL?
05:58:14 <Nothing\> LED, I believe
05:58:39 <Nothing\> it looks like the same construction as the 60in I had the pleasure of tearing down last year after it crapped out in the same way
05:59:26 <Nothing\> basically the audio/video controllers just started putting out some sort of hazy cosmic jive
05:59:42 Quit: weissbier ([email protected]) Quit: WeeChat 4.1.1
06:00:04 <Nothing\> being that it wasn't a smart device, ironically I got a good run out of it, though
06:00:13 <Nothing\> no 2-3 year planned obsolescence
06:00:36 <Nothing\> which is what got the 60in i tore down

14:44:24 <steve31> hi
14:45:05 <steve31> Halcyon, just curious, do you get many twinks join the police force?
14:47:40 Join: Nothing\ ([email protected]) to #eevblog
14:47:46 <Nothing\> welp, i screwed myself for the night
14:47:51 <Nothing\> or at least my narcolepsy did
14:48:47 <Nothing\> go to take my bedtime dose of methadone and my body decides it's already bedtime. Next thing I know, the bloomin' bottle's on the floor spilled all over with barely a pittance worth left in it lol
14:49:32 <Nothing\> oh well at least it's not long
14:52:44 <Halcyon> That doesn't sound fun
14:52:55 <Halcyon> steve31: Yeah fairly frequently.

15:38:57 <Halcyon> It's been snowing all day today, finally starting to see some blue sky.
15:40:14 * steve31 pets Halcyon
15:46:14 <Halcyon> It's snowing again
15:46:17 <Halcyon> DIdn't last long
15:48:15 <Ampera> hi Halcyon
15:48:35 * steve31 snuggles up to Halcyon
15:51:41 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera
15:51:45 <Halcyon> How's you?
15:54:48 <Ampera> Halcyon: I am now officially homosexual
15:55:09 <Halcyon> What do you want? A party?
15:55:11 <Halcyon> :P
15:55:30 <Halcyon> Very good though. Bi is usually just a stepping stone to full homo, not always but frequently.
15:55:44 <Ampera> oh no
15:55:47 <Ampera> I am still bi
15:55:54 <Ampera> what I mean is I have a girlfriend now
15:55:55 <steve31> we managed to convert you? yay :)
15:55:58 <Halcyon> OH!
15:56:01 <Halcyon> OHHHH!
15:56:03 <Ampera> don't get too excited
15:56:04 <Halcyon> That's fucking awesome!
15:56:10 <Halcyon> Oh?
15:56:13 <steve31> cool
15:56:15 <Halcyon> This is a rollercoaster
15:56:21 Quit: Nothing\ ([email protected]) Quit: Leaving
15:56:22 <Ampera> no I meant about me being a convert
15:56:26 <Halcyon> Ah
15:56:29 <Ampera> yes get excited about the girlfriend
15:56:31 <Halcyon> Well, happy days anyway.
15:56:36 <Halcyon> Do tell....
15:57:06 <Ampera> Have known her for some months online in a discord server I frequent
15:57:26 <Ampera> we were mild friends for a while and then randomly one day just sorta started making jokes
15:57:39 <Ampera> and then we got to chatting and realized we actually have a lot in common
15:57:46 <Ampera> and then the jokes got more intense
15:57:56 <Ampera> and then they stopped being jokes
15:58:24 <Ampera> she lives in NY
15:58:33 <Ampera> but, the NY in England
15:58:57 <Ampera> likes anime, cooking, fashion, bunch of other stuff
15:59:03 <Ampera> we have similar tastes in food
15:59:24 <steve31> Which NY? If its the New York near me, I'll pop over and say hello :)
15:59:30 <Ampera> North Yorkshire
15:59:36 <steve31> oh
15:59:49 <Ampera> lol
15:59:49 <steve31> well, North Yorkshire isnt too far
16:00:06 <Ampera> If/when I visit her I'll drop by and see you
16:00:13 <Halcyon> I'm happy for you Ampera
16:00:13 <steve31> I pass through New York quite often :)
16:00:30 * Ampera hugs Halcyon
16:00:47 <Ampera> so for now I am gay
16:01:07 <steve31> Well, until you can come over, there's always SoIP.
16:01:36 <Ampera> lol
16:01:47 <Ampera> maybe I'll try for next year
16:02:10 <Ampera> how funny we become close while I'm in Germany, but don't have enough time to make the hop over
16:05:10 <steve31> enjoy
16:05:22 * steve31 is still boyfriendless
16:05:37 <steve31> not that I do this long-distance stuff personally
16:05:44 <Ampera> my parents did it
16:05:59 <Ampera> and I have more resources and technology now as well
16:08:17 <steve31> i like kissing and cuddling and sex too much :p
16:10:37 <Ampera> lol
16:10:53 <Ampera> well I have fewer facilities to make that happen unfortunately
16:11:06 <Ampera> so I am content with waiting
16:11:18 <steve31> hehe

17:20:25 <EEVBot> [url] Trump serious about pursuing a third term, Gavin Newsom warns | Gavin Newsom | The Guardian | www.theguardian.com
17:20:44 <MrMobodies> I thought presidential terms were limited to two (8 years total)
17:20:56 <MrMobodies> but I see, there is always a first time in anything.
17:24:04 <MrMobodies> Someone at the pub gave me this thing
17:24:05 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/UKnxRcH.jpeg
17:24:11 <MrMobodies> SMT-725
17:24:19 <MrMobodies> He wants me to build packages for it
17:24:34 <MrMobodies> Not sure how and whether I'd ever be able to do that
17:24:47 <MrMobodies> I imagine it might be Android Studio
17:25:25 <MrMobodies> I was disappointed when "You WILL agree that your device WILL be updated by Google and your manufacturer..." Coercion and bullying
17:25:36 <MrMobodies> and other bloatware crap
17:25:49 <MrMobodies> I'll see if Lineage 9 would go on there
17:26:07 <MrMobodies> I don't like being bulled in that way.
17:26:33 <MrMobodies> If I don't agree for them to "DO WHAT THEY LIKE" I can't progress further apparently.
17:27:05 <MrMobodies> nothing like that with Windows 10 LTSC if I remember correctly
17:27:49 <MrMobodies> appart from the patronising menu tick boxing thing that appears when creating a new profile which can be bypassed if I replaced the template profile
