00:19:55 <K> soup Ampera
00:20:59 <Ampera> ayo K
00:46:31 <Nothing\> heya ampy, how goes?
00:47:07 <Nothing\> decided to try one of these new "Mighty McGriddles" from Mcdonald's
00:47:44 <Nothing\> it's got a double serving of bacon, a sausage patty AND the egg... patty I guess it is on maple syrup impregnated pancake
00:47:53 <Nothing\> s, instead of buns
00:48:02 <Nothing\> definitely a once a month treat

04:32:17 <rc-garage> sounds like they ran out of food, so they just made......that

05:01:20 <K> were fresh out of cardboard too
05:06:20 <steve30000> so, Ampera, what happened with the GF?
05:06:35 <rc-garage> and crocs are not a good substitute for old shoes
05:06:59 <Ampera> steve30000, broke it off. I like her, but just didn't end up having a lot of feelings for her
05:07:42 <Ampera> idk if it's because I'm just not that attracted to women as I think I am, or maybe I'm just not attracted to her
05:07:58 <rc-garage> i think it is tricky to get very much feels, if you never met
05:08:06 <Ampera> yeah
05:08:23 <Ampera> she also was just, younger and much farther behind in life than I am
05:08:31 <Ampera> which isn't necessarily a deal breaker, but it makes things harder
05:08:37 <rc-garage> wow, and that is not legal, lol
05:08:46 <Ampera> wdym
05:08:48 <Ampera> she was 21
05:08:52 <Ampera> I'm 23
05:08:56 <rc-garage> yeah yeah
05:08:59 <Ampera> it wasn't a huge gap
05:09:19 <Ampera> but I've also had a salaried job for 5 years and own a car, while she's barely finding her first real jobs.
05:10:23 <steve30000> lol
05:10:36 <steve30000> I'm 35 and have never had a job last longer than a few months :)
05:10:38 <rc-garage> hmm, time flies. last time, you was 17
05:11:05 <steve30000> When I was in my 20s I used to get quite a bit of interest from older men
05:11:14 <steve30000> Don't seem to much any more though
05:11:28 <rc-garage> on the 20th of november, I have had this job for 20 years....
05:11:48 <Ampera> I mean it's all factors
05:12:23 <Ampera> it's not like I don't want to ever date anyone less experienced than me, but it just makes being a mutual on things harder
05:12:26 <Ampera> we have very different problems
05:17:26 <rc-garage> mm, yes we do
06:25:53 <K> yo rc-garage, remember some months ago i was fawning about that japanese bolt/screw cutter thing?
06:26:23 <K> welp, had to spend some of emplyers money in japanese amazon, could not contain myself: https://imgur.com/a/EqmzaqJ
06:26:58 <rc-garage> looks pretty nice
06:27:33 <K> cut is clean, threads are undamaged
06:27:58 <K> not sure if could cut m4 or higher with one hand though
06:28:51 <rc-garage> eh, work your way up, buy a few boxes of each size, and shorten them all away, you will get a massive hand
06:29:32 <K> then i could join circus and forget about all this sillyness
06:29:43 <rc-garage> there you go
06:50:20 <Ampera> K, how many schpingles was it
06:52:03 <rc-garage> all of them
06:54:30 <K> 50 eur iirc
06:55:22 <Ampera> not bad
06:55:24 <Ampera> I want one
06:55:27 <Ampera> I would NEVER use it
06:55:28 <Ampera> but I want one
06:55:59 <K> you have american made ones over there
06:56:53 <Ampera> K, that's supposed to be a good thing?
06:57:08 <Ampera> now, if you told me knipex sold one I'd trip over myself for it
06:57:25 <K> https://hardcoregrinderproducts.com/products/screw-cutter
06:57:25 <EEVBot> [url] Screw Cutter - Hardcore Grinders & Products | hardcoregrinderproducts.com
06:57:29 <K> a bit more expensive though
06:57:43 <Ampera> bruh
06:57:56 <K> wot
06:58:08 <Ampera> 200 bucks and all they can do is a thin riveted handle?
06:58:50 <K> was good enough for jesus
06:59:18 <Ampera> hrm
06:59:49 <K> given chance getting those in eu, i likely would have
07:00:12 <K> otoh tbf i have not ever seen M3.5 bolt
07:01:15 <rc-garage> looks like they are for machine screws?
07:01:44 <rc-garage> "bolt"
07:02:37 <K> hm, cant tell
07:03:01 <rc-garage> does not matter, they are pretty much the same thing anyway
07:04:42 <K> wasnt "screw" supposed to cut it's own thread?
07:05:01 <K> but eh, not that it matters much
07:05:12 <K> doubt Ampera will be getting those 190$ beauties
07:05:27 <rc-garage> a screw can do that, but it goes into a threaded part, a bolt goes thru a hole, and uses a nut or other threaded part to stay in place
07:06:10 <K> one mans screw is another mans bolt
07:06:16 <rc-garage> they can be the same thing, in some ways, it depends more on how they are used, than what they physically are
07:06:19 <K> that did not sound right.
07:08:06 <Ampera> It feels like it might be useful if I was building a lot of 3D printed stuff
07:09:47 <K> yup, one of reasons i got mine
07:10:07 <K> just now i cut 12mm M3 from 20mm ones i have bought 500 of
07:10:14 <K> 4 pieces
07:11:26 <Ampera> I should 3D print more things
07:11:32 <Ampera> part of why I don't is my 3D printer is kinda bleh
07:11:36 <Ampera> but also because I hate CAD
07:12:51 <rc-garage> i have not been able to figure out the drawing part of it, which is annoying.
07:13:26 <K> i see it as form of tar-pit declarative programming
07:14:45 <K> annoying, but doable.
07:14:54 <Ampera> I think my main issue is that I am very used to manipulating 3D space through video games
07:14:56 <K> and it is a valuable skill
07:14:58 <Ampera> and CAD is like the polar opposite of that
07:15:21 <Ampera> I can build something easily in minecraft or whatever, but have a much harder time in fusion 360 or something
07:15:41 <K> practice
07:15:55 <K> last week i had to open one of my earlier designs
07:15:58 <K> the horror.
07:16:10 <K> but hey, it got manufactured and makes money.
07:17:04 <rc-garage> I think my biggest issue, is that I can usually find an stl that will work, and the programs now are different to autocad....uh...10
07:17:23 <rc-garage> which is the only one I have used a bit
07:17:40 <K> stls are no good for cad
07:17:54 <rc-garage> no, but they are great for just printing stuff
07:18:02 <K> wel, you can load them, but editing is major pain
07:18:41 <rc-garage> I am not smart, so someone else has always made a thing I can use
07:18:46 <K> have not used old timey autocad, and maybe it is good
07:19:10 <Ampera> I would probably like OpenSCAD
07:19:15 <Ampera> but learning is is the problem
07:19:18 <rc-garage> oh, it is good. i only used it, because mom got it from work
07:19:34 <K> o_O
07:19:49 <rc-garage> it is... not amazing
07:20:08 <K> i see it as niche thing
07:20:31 <Ampera> autocad has been around for a hot minute
07:20:46 <rc-garage> i have the manual here... let me see
07:20:48 <K> openscad if you need somehing generated from lots of math and such
07:21:00 <rc-garage> september 1988, was version 10
07:21:09 <K> parametric cad for real world things
07:21:23 <arch> openSCAT is one smelly software
07:21:41 * K puts lid back on arches bucket.
07:22:06 <arch> ok now that i have made my random comment of the day, im going to go descend back into my basement
07:23:43 <rc-garage> say hello to the gimps
07:33:21 <Ampera> hi arch
07:40:57 <rc-garage> well, time for a nap, have this good night song, and have a fun or 3

10:14:29 <Nothing\> great, internet's down
10:14:41 <Nothing\> gotta us tethering to get by like some 2010s caveman
10:15:29 <Nothing\> ho-ly fuck i feel like sht, though
10:50:07 <Nothing\> so, I have a chem question when someone's around
10:50:31 <Nothing\> I got this soda water, the ingredients are POTASSIUM citrate, and POTASSIUM carbonate.
10:50:46 <Nothing\> And yet, that chart that gives the impurities shows 45mg of sodium
10:51:55 <Nothing\> so where the hell does the sodium come from? I know it's SODA water, but there isn't a single ingredient with sodium. Unless it's just impurites in the water. But, considering they're treated with triple reserve osmosis thoet daoesn't seem to be the case

11:09:42 <Ampera> hi Nothing
11:54:21 <DHess_US> Nothing, what other ingredients?
11:57:08 <DHess_US> There must be something else with sodium in it, like sodium bicarbonate.

14:31:59 <steve30000> These bigclivedotcom approved Poundland USB PSUs I have have lasted a long time
14:32:22 <steve30000> Well, one is poundland, the other is twopoundland
14:36:25 <MrMobodies> Given a tablet for free
14:36:32 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/g7QRBtZ.png
14:36:40 <MrMobodies> Absolutely RIDICULOUS!
14:36:51 <MrMobodies> I don't have any other number capable of receiving texts
14:36:59 <MrMobodies> No other way to prove otherwise
14:37:13 <MrMobodies> I know i have that 4G modem
14:38:31 <MrMobodies> "This phone number cannot be used for verification."
14:38:35 <MrMobodies> That's taking the piss!
14:39:24 <MrMobodies> all I wanted to do is get remote desktop on that tablet at least
14:40:35 <MrMobodies> from the playstore
14:44:09 <MrMobodies> I wonder can I trust APK pure
14:44:11 <MrMobodies> https://apkpure.com/
14:44:13 <EEVBot> [url] Download APK on Android with Free Online APK Downloader - APKPure | apkpure.com
14:44:21 <MrMobodies> I remember using that before
14:48:39 <MrMobodies> Looks like crap
14:48:41 <MrMobodies> https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/microsoft-corporation/microsoft-remote-desktop-preview/remote-desktop-10-0-20-1334-release/#gallery
14:48:41 <EEVBot> [url] Just a moment... | www.apkmirror.com
14:48:50 <MrMobodies> I'll see if I can find an older one
14:48:57 <MrMobodies> I don't want that fancy rubbish
14:49:54 <MrMobodies> I have an old copy on my phone which I never used and it seems pretty basic
14:50:59 <MrMobodies> Very disappointed managed to get ZERO done
14:52:13 <MrMobodies> They put STUPID tiles on it
14:52:18 <MrMobodies> and bloat the UI
14:53:10 <MrMobodies> and that was since V8 https://images.sftcdn.net/images/t_app-cover-s,f_auto/p/8bc40b1a-9b25-11e6-9d1f-00163ed833e7/1687533176/microsoft-remote-desktop-screenshot.png
14:54:50 <MrMobodies> Oh well I'll just see if I can use it for the automated playlist. I was going to use it for the Freestyler X2
14:56:44 <MrMobodies> https://i.imgur.com/qglp0yP.png
14:57:11 <MrMobodies> The playlist gets in the way so I'd thought I'd use the Surface 2 RT tablet as it has a solid stand on one of the speakers to show the playlist
14:57:31 <MrMobodies> and use the android to control the lighting and scripts via RDP
14:58:23 <MrMobodies> It is a Samsung SM-T175 givent o me free and I am concerned people will touch that on the stand and it could fall off and break.
15:00:51 <MrMobodies> oh wait a minute I'd need to install that extension that refreshes the page (linked to my excel sheet) the page and I need to "sign in".
15:01:08 <MrMobodies> can't win
15:02:28 <MrMobodies> I don't want to use my other accounts as I am concerned if I install stuff, I might unintentionally agree to share all of my account contents, hidden somewhere in the smallprint to malware scum companies.

16:07:27 <Not_Something\> why the fuck am i lagging and half of my commands to services don't even go through
16:07:52 <Not_Something\> my internet connection's been down all day but i'm using my phone as a tether. I wouldn't expect it to be THAT slow
16:08:13 <Not_Something\> i'm even getting 0.451 lag from pinging nickserv
16:08:36 <Not_Something\> AND i got the a very nostalgic error I haven't seen in years
16:09:29 <Not_Something\> you know it seems like this is a DNS issue. Which shouldn't affect me since I don't use my ISP's DNS servers
16:09:48 <Not_Something\> but i just noticed it couldn't resolve the url to this server the first 20 times it tried to connect
16:10:02 <Not_Something\> then that damn "peer" guy reset my connection
16:10:06 <Not_Something\> peer's such a dick
16:11:49 <Not_Something\> calling my isp tomorrow because apparently they have me limited to all of 2gb a month. Which their lowest current plan is 10gb in terms of data.
16:12:17 <Not_Something\> i just hope they buy me dinner
16:12:31 <Not_Something\> it's only proper to buy someone dinner after you fuck them in the ass
16:12:53 <Not_Something\> still waiting for God to do that, the piece of shit
16:13:35 <Not_Something\> dumb motherfucking sociopathic, infanticidal, twisted, fucking poser wannabe wolf in sheep's clothing
16:13:43 <Not_Something\> god can suck my dick
16:13:58 <Not_Something\> and choke to death on it for all i fucking care. THe world would be better off.
16:14:24 <Not_Something\> i'd be a hero to kill god by choking him to death with my cock
16:14:43 <Not_Something\> with all the atrocities he commits. Beyond simple murder.
16:15:00 <Not_Something\> and forcing is until these situations against our will
16:15:40 <Not_Something\> i sure as fuck never asked to be brought into a world where suffering and toil have literally been the norm since time immemorial. But this is supposed to be a GIFT, right?
16:15:58 <Not_Something\> a gift that causes us constant suffering and pain and confusion
16:16:43 <Not_Something\> while at the same time giving us the ability to feel said suffering
16:16:48 <Not_Something\> which is just pretty fucked up
16:17:15 <Not_Something\> but that's okay, whenever we're hurt or sad or overwhelmed, god CRIES for us.
16:17:35 <Not_Something\> you hear that? He fucking CRIES. WTF kind of savior is that?
16:17:50 <Not_Something\> that's more a fucking useless chicken shit pussy than a god
16:18:43 <Not_Something\> it's like futurama where fry tried to make that comic with the superhero based on him, btu all the superhero did when there was trouble was huddle in a ball of cry. That's exactly what I picture.
