00:03:24 Quit: steve30 ([email protected]) Quit: <Baljem> steve30: by the way, I had the most bizarre dream the other day that someone came in here and seriously flipped their shit over your quit message and why aren't the ops /doing/ something about it

02:42:24 <electrohead> arch: I just bought a 6 gallon pancake air compressor recently :D
02:46:39 <arch> very useful for pneumatic impact gun, just make sure to swap out the crappy 1/4" hose it comes with by default with a 3/8" hose. 3x the airflow volume, required by impact drivers electrohead
02:47:04 <arch> 1/4" hose is only good for pneumatic nailers
02:54:50 <electrohead> mine didn't come with a hose, had to buy one separate
02:58:10 <arch> did you make sure to get 3/8" or wider diameter hose?
02:59:08 <electrohead> it has a ID of 1/4" lol
02:59:21 <electrohead> I'll get better eventually
03:02:25 <arch> as long as you don't need to use an air hammer or impact driver, you'll be ok with the 1/4"
03:02:41 <arch> also the 1/4" is much easier to maneuver

03:34:45 <electrohead> well, I got this for car things: https://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-ANI405-Hammer-Impact-Pneumatic/dp/B0041PGNZQ

03:35:06 <electrohead> definitely need a bigger/better hose for that, but I also got a smaller air ratchet
03:37:54 <arch> pssh, 500 ft lbs. i got me a dewalt 1200 ft lbs monster. i only pull it out on extremely rare situations though
03:38:04 <electrohead> lol
03:38:13 <electrohead> I'm slowly building up air tools :P
03:38:18 <arch> 99% of the stuff i can get loose using my frankensteined DCF887 with 3/8" anvil mod

03:40:41 <arch> do not the car
03:40:58 * electrohead does not arch
03:41:16 <arch> next paycheck ima get my a finish nailer
03:41:41 <arch> 16 gauge finish nailer, oil free dewalt model, uses off ebay for $70 that's actually a good deal
03:43:25 <arch> electrohead, make sure you keep your air tools oiled. can get a 8 or 12 oz bottle from hobo freight for like $5. will last a lifetime
04:14:00 <electrohead> already bought some :)
04:45:48 * steve30 curls up on Vampera's lap
04:51:24 <Agripa3> rockauto looks useful
04:55:03 <Agripa3> I was thinking of the recent subcompact Milwaukee M12 impact wrench, https://www.homedepot.com/pep/Milwaukee-M12-FUEL-12V-Lithium-Ion-Brushless-Cordless-3-8-in-Sub-Compact-Impact-Wrench-3049-20/333196617
04:55:21 <Agripa3> I already have M12 stuff and could start small.
04:56:39 <Agripa3> I should probably change the water pump on my 2002 S10. I wonder how makes the best one. They aren't expensive.

06:52:18 <MrMobodies> Last time I used Wine was in 2014 and 2010
06:52:26 <MrMobodies> Installed on Ubuntu and just WORKED!
06:52:44 <MrMobodies> ran Unrealtournament and a whole bunch of other things without much glitches
06:52:53 <MrMobodies> now not only difficult to install
06:53:07 <MrMobodies> Now installed "wine: could not load kernel32.dll, status c0000135"
06:53:30 <MrMobodies> nevermind dude.exe by just even typing winefg
06:54:36 <MrMobodies> spent time and effort installing a 1gb package for the piece of sh*t not to work even on it's own stuff.

07:38:29 <Kuschelpony> doyou know what was more important than the first telephone?
07:41:38 <steve30> coffee?
07:46:36 <Kuschelpony> the second telephone!
07:50:48 <steve30> hehe
07:52:27 <steve30> If there are only two telephones, I wonder how easy it is to get the wrong number
07:57:21 <Kuschelpony> if i remember correctly, the first telephone book in germany had 8 participants, and phone numbers were only invented several years later
07:57:55 <Kuschelpony> before, there were just plugs and sockets with names of participants

08:18:01 <MrMobodies> "ip configuration was unavailable"
08:18:39 <MrMobodies> I wonder if it is the range
08:18:43 <MrMobodies> 10.100.1.x

09:01:50 <MrMobodies> "hirlpool and LG were the most reliable refrigerator brands"
09:02:36 <MrMobodies> UTTER RUBBISH: "Cons: One-year warranty Some users report repeated compressor issues"
09:02:41 <MrMobodies> oops LG
09:03:03 <MrMobodies> They reported no issues with Whirpool
09:03:10 <MrMobodies> but LG?
09:03:34 <MrMobodies> I wonder how that got in there, did LG pay them commission for it.
09:04:20 <MrMobodies> Siemens tall fridge, brought in 2006, gas leaked in 2018 Summer due to hot weather. My mum kept on overloading the fridge where it wouldn't close which we think contributed
09:04:24 <MrMobodies> 12 years that lasted
09:04:44 <MrMobodies> and I think it had a 5 year warranty
09:05:41 <MrMobodies> I remember in 2006, we went to this shop looking for a decent fridge, my dad was looking at the crap typical ones found in Curries, the very stored that ripped them off and offer 1 year warranties
09:07:40 <MrMobodies> on the second floor a single fridge tall in size, the Siemens, lots of space and I know quaiity when I see it. My mum agreed with me that it looked quality built, 5 year warranty but my dad was not pleased. He wanted one with a freezer but we had one already and the one with the freezers we had before kept on breaking down
09:08:40 <MrMobodies> it seems when I choose things, they seem to last longer.
09:09:01 <MrMobodies> and perform very well and pleasure to use.
09:10:36 <MrMobodies> after the horrors from before 2004, always important to inspect the quality of the things before buying.
09:12:21 <MrMobodies> Anyone here regret buying things that turned out to be poor quality?
