01:42:23 <MrMobodies> Google: This extension no longer available as it goes against "best practices"
01:42:55 <MrMobodies> IEFT Resarches: "researchers have proposed that the Internet Engineering Task Force define support for IPv6 as a best practice "
01:43:10 <MrMobodies> Have they heard about a thing called "compatibility"
02:25:55 <rc-garage> probably. it is what keeps them from doing new things

02:38:34 <MrMobodies> You can see how they bractracked from the middle one a year later
02:38:53 <MrMobodies> "more cool" as meaning more pretty and trendy = good = better
02:39:52 <MrMobodies> I had to disable my touchpad on this T490, x260, the w700's as my palm touches it
02:39:58 <MrMobodies> then cancels out what I am trying to do
02:40:15 <MrMobodies> what a stupid idea
02:40:39 <MrMobodies> that's possible why they revertedd

04:20:51 <K> rc-garage, how much do all the "seaside" apartments cost and who the fuck can afford all those 3727671262 places
04:21:22 <rc-garage> in oslo? I think they are from infinite money, and up
04:21:49 <K> but the opera house sure looks and feels nice
04:21:52 <K> and expensive
04:22:31 <rc-garage> sure. but at least it is open to people. and you can walk around on the roof, which is nice
04:22:43 <K> yeah that was very nice
04:23:32 <rc-garage> if I had anything to say about it, they should build a wall around oslo, fill it with diesel, and put the damn place on fire.
04:23:54 <K> we also took a ride in one of those sea-trams going to all the small islands
04:24:32 <K> diesel wont burn on its own though, need some acceleratnt
04:24:47 <rc-garage> oh, it will, you just need to add heat
04:25:16 <rc-garage> I never tried the boat there, I guess that can be nice
04:25:28 <K> was ok
04:27:18 <K> 25k steps today
04:27:44 <K> but we still need to eat something
04:31:06 <rc-garage> what kind of something do you feel like? go to some indian place. they usually have pretty good food, and enough of it
04:33:23 <K> SO does not do good w carbs
04:33:57 <K> fwiw we are staying near central train station, radison plaza or somth
04:34:12 <K> it is both good and also not that great
04:35:35 <rc-garage> yea, that is a... not exactly the nicest area, but it is not far from anything
04:40:57 <K> all the coffe places we've been to had sour coffee
04:41:21 <K> might be nordic thing, .se was similar iirc
04:41:48 <rc-garage> sour coffee... well. uhm, to a degree, I guess.
04:42:02 <K> the side bagels and such were super good though
04:42:38 <K> yeah, not sure "sour" is right word there
04:43:16 <K> something about there being two main coffee bean types, one more "sour", other more "bitter"
04:44:16 <rc-garage> arabica and...the other one, yes. But there is a lot of difference because how it is roasted, or not, and so on also
04:46:28 <rc-garage> have you had reindeer before?
04:46:57 <K> regular dear yes, reindeer nope
04:47:04 <K> deer, not dear
04:48:26 <rc-garage> not super cheap, but. reindeer stew is pretty interesting https://cafeelias.no/en/menu.html

04:48:53 <K> imma note that down
04:49:12 <K> looks like we found an indian place for this night
04:52:20 <rust_collector> but you wanted carbless...
04:52:48 <rust_collector> steaks and meat, with bacon in fat sauce,
04:52:51 <rust_collector> mmm
04:53:35 <rust_collector> there is a place called lorry, which is oooold, and is a place people go to. but it might be a bit too hyped up
04:53:46 <rust_collector> lorrys, maybe
04:55:48 <rust_collector> i mean, you can get burgers and baked chicken anywhere. all we have up here, is reindeer and whale.

05:01:43 <K> SO said lorrys looks ince
05:01:47 <K> nice
05:01:53 <K> a bit expensive, but eh
05:02:04 <K> likely will go there tomorrow night
05:03:16 <K> this one yea - https://lorry.no/en/menu/middag ?

05:03:55 <rust_collector> that looks like it
05:05:48 <rust_collector> "nice" restaurants tend to piss me off a little bit. mostly because you usually have to go eat a kebab before you go eat
05:07:52 <K> mh
05:08:06 <K> yesterday i ate the most expensive kebab so far
05:08:13 <K> 179 nok
05:08:21 <K> was very ok
05:09:12 <K> ok, wesa must go before all the indans go to sleep.
05:10:01 <rust_collector> the indians never sleep, they go clean up the kitchen, and go deliver packages for fedex

06:38:02 <K> ufff, the indians did good
06:38:14 <K> best biryani i've had in years
06:39:41 <rust_collector> see?
06:43:09 <rust_collector> oh, now they turned on the water down here. find a place inside
06:44:12 <K> 16th floor, i think we are safe for a wile
06:44:15 <K> while
06:45:49 <rc-garage> do they show reruns of the soap tv series that they used to make there?
06:46:37 <K> dunno, tv does not have cartoon network on it, haven't turned it on since discovered that
06:46:49 <K> -1 star on ratings
06:46:54 <rc-garage> good
06:47:10 <rc-garage> try to also throw the tv in the pool, that might be somewhere
06:59:41 <K> pool is upstairs
07:00:04 <rc-garage> ok, drag the tv up there, and plop it in
07:00:05 <K> a bit small, but tv will fit

09:32:46 <Nothing\> lol damn, does nothing on my frequency generator bloody work
09:33:22 <Nothing\> found an app for it and figured great, it lets you shape your arbitrary waveforms and control the unit from your computer among other things
09:33:56 <Nothing\> of course, first thing it asks is for the com port, which i have drivers for the thing (apparently it uses a knockoff arduino because it needed CH320 drivers lol)
09:34:14 <Nothing\> i checked device manager to see the com port number, type it in. NADA
09:34:23 <Nothing\> type the refresh button, nada
09:34:49 <Nothing\> and this is the function generator where channel 2 was broken out of the box
09:35:08 * Nothing\ sighs
09:35:12 <Nothing\> fuckin' chinesium
09:35:13 <rust_collector> plug in the cable?
09:35:34 <Nothing\> lol yup, i actually borrowed the printer's cable since it was an old school A type USB
09:35:55 <Nothing\> er sorry, type B
09:36:21 <Nothing\> somehow i still have devices that use a type b
09:36:47 <Nothing\> actually it's funny, I was thikning about my (musical) keyboard the other day. How it's been like 15 years since i bought it
09:37:00 <Nothing\> and it still works just as good as the day i bought it
09:37:14 <Nothing\> not an iota of "smart" shit in it
09:37:39 <Nothing\> there's a buncha crap, as there is in any entry level keyboard, but it doesn't affect its functionality
09:37:56 <Nothing\> just lets me play twinkle twinkle little star easier LOL
09:39:12 <Nothing\> still, i would LOVE To buy an 81 key keyboard, opposed to my 66. ANd something with velocity sensitive keys that make louder sound the harder you push them
09:39:26 <Nothing\> and weighted keys would be nice, too but you can't have everything
09:39:59 <Nothing\> my little casio's served me well all these years but i've no doubt developed bad habits from these shortcomings
09:40:00 <rust_collector> sur eyou can, but it gets expensive
09:40:11 <Nothing\> lol yeah
09:40:29 <Nothing\> although the government just gave a new pittance to us poor folk, so maybe i can use it on that
09:40:39 <Nothing\> but i think i'm just gonna give it to my mum
09:41:27 <Nothing\> i mean, i pay most of the rent, but i feel like she still gets fucked with bills and groceries sometimes
09:41:27 <Nothing\> especially groceries
09:41:27 <Nothing\> but i think no matter what i give her, it won't feel enough
09:41:52 <Nothing\> hell, i paid child support until my kid was 20
09:42:04 <Nothing\> i only just noticed 2 months ago they stopped taking it off automatically lol
09:42:43 <Nothing\> which i'm right chuffed about. I was ready to hire a lawyer to repeal the child support motion
09:43:13 <Nothing\> and apparently i had to do this all in the same city it was originally done, so that means a bit of a drive just to get there for the 9am start time
09:43:41 <rust_collector> well, at least they can not say you did not pay, so that is something
09:43:44 <Nothing\> lol my ex somehow found me on facebook last year and had the gall to ask for my tax return for the first time in 12 years
09:44:31 <Nothing\> rust_collector, yeah it's a great system in Canada. It's all done automatically through a third party who you give your work/income info to, and they just automatically deduct it from your cheques
09:44:53 <Nothing\> yet, somehow my brother owes tens of thousands of dollars he's fucking lucky his ex never came after him for
09:45:33 <Nothing\> i've heard horror stories about people in Canada who don't pay their child support
09:46:36 <Nothing\> they throw your ass in jail until you pay it back, BUT it's like a debtor's prison because the amount still accrues as you're in prison, even though you can't work a job that pays more than like 50 cents a day from prison. And they don't automatically change it based on your income.
09:47:31 <Nothing\> So, if you've got a good job and suddenly you lose it and find yourself getting the $500 a month that welfare gives you, ,there's no chance in hell you're hiring a lawyer to go change the motion so you pay a more realistic amount.
09:47:43 <Nothing\> I just got soooooo lucky
09:48:13 <Nothing\> and being disability, they couldn't deduct very much anyways.
09:48:46 <Nothing\> i threw what i could their way, but after our falling out i disowned my daughter
09:49:21 <Nothing\> ex always said she was no longer my daughter anyways, as far as she was concerned. But suddenly when money's involved, it's a different story, of course.
09:49:57 <Nothing\> so i finally just said "you know, you're right. She isn't shit to me. And you're not getting shit. So, fuck off ya cunt"
09:50:46 <Nothing\> and last time i called her that her husband got so butthurt he personally called me for an apology so i know it strikes a nerve in their oh-so sheltered life
09:51:15 <Nothing\> </rant>
09:51:19 <Nothing\> =P
09:51:50 <Nothing\> now, my dad is another story
09:51:55 <Nothing\> you see, he....
09:52:03 <Nothing\> lol jk not gonna go there
09:57:31 <rust_collector> there is a fleamarket at the school, maybe i should go have a look tomorrow

12:56:05 <MrMobodies> Why do these airlines even bother about window seats
12:56:48 <MrMobodies> They can't guarantee it, extra administration and now they have to check if the windowed ones are panelled over.
