01:45:00 <MrMobodies> I wonder how they track them
01:45:16 <watcher> Hello MrMobodies
01:45:21 <MrMobodies> Hello
01:45:43 <MrMobodies> Maybe they sign in on their Amazon account to use it and they find them that way.
01:47:41 <MrMobodies> When it comes to Sports streaming they seem pretty serious as fro, the prosecutions I read over the years and not just with Amazon Fire Sticks alone.
01:48:47 <watcher> fire sticks seems to be pretty populair.
01:49:24 <watcher> Where I live is it mostly chrome cast/ google tv and apple tv or just a smart tv (with chrome cast build in)
01:50:11 <watcher> some poeple use there tv box that you get by your subscription

04:39:23 <MrMobodies> Hello
04:41:14 <MrMobodies> That fire at the Switzerland bar I saw on TV. Footage of people waving these firecrackers before the fire and so close to the low ceilings.
04:41:40 Join: cheeseandchives ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
04:41:44 <MrMobodies> I wonder if the ceiling had flammable materials or coatings.
04:42:12 <Kuschelpony> reminds me of the accidents in disco clubs in the 1970s that led to much stricter safety laws in europe
04:42:45 <Kuschelpony> (back then ceilings were often styrofoam coated for decoration)
04:45:46 <MrMobodies> I'd be interesting to know whether that was the case with the ceiling or whether there was an explosion with enough heat to ignite it.
04:47:09 <Kuschelpony> checkingthe news of the coming days, myself is also interested to know more
04:47:10 <MrMobodies> They were saying whether it was due to overcrowding, sounds to me more like safety
04:47:33 <MrMobodies> safety with people playing with crackers, low ceilings,
04:48:07 <MrMobodies> ceilings in some places of the footage that appear lower than my local 18th century village pub down
04:48:18 <MrMobodies> the road
04:48:51 <MrMobodies> they use those firecracker things to put on birthday cakes and it always set the fire alarms off
04:48:59 <MrMobodies> and the smoke machine last night
04:50:52 <arch> i am able to access it from the us

04:51:54 <arch> incidentally, i have just read that the brits are big poopyheads, according to US news
04:51:58 <MrMobodies> igitable ceiling
04:52:36 <MrMobodies> "three Jews were reported missing"... I wonder why they mentioned that.
04:53:09 <MrMobodies> Unless they think the bar was full of jews and the Palestinians targetted them.
04:53:49 * arch runs away
04:54:08 <MrMobodies> "No Israelis were reported injured." Yep they seem to be suspecting.
04:55:05 <MrMobodies> wood
04:55:06 <MrMobodies> oops
04:57:35 <MrMobodies> fire spreaded from the wooden ceilings in the basement, when a staff member carried another employee on his sholder where she held the bottle and that firecracker... "everything made out of wood" with seeing how low the ceilings were and it to spread so quickly... sounds to me like a highly flammable ceiling.
04:58:20 <MrMobodies> and in cold weather 0c
04:59:01 <flyback> you mean a scraping noise?
04:59:11 <flyback> it could be a squeeler which means your pads are worn out
05:02:06 <MrMobodies> I would have thought that'd help prevent a fire if the wood was damp or maybe it had flammable paint or coatings.

05:10:16 <MrMobodies> Foam padding ceilings
05:13:07 <MrMobodies> so the fire didn't necessary kill them they got crushed by others on the way up.
05:13:56 <MrMobodies> and couldn't do anything so they got burn't alive
05:15:05 <MrMobodies> oops I mean kill them at first.
05:21:58 <MrMobodies> Looks at the pictures the ceiling does not look as low as it did to me on the camera footage

05:23:01 <MrMobodies> I wonder is that a metal mesh or foam.
05:23:23 <MrMobodies> it seems to droop or hand log with the light

05:26:42 <MrMobodies> That looks to me like what they use for packaging foam.
05:27:17 <MrMobodies> Isn't that an odd way to decorate the ceiling?

05:31:43 <MrMobodies> All that foam packaging, the equipment mounted to it looks to me like a fire waiting to happen.

05:43:10 <arch> it;s a miracle they did not get bent
05:45:34 * motosteve waves from the train again
05:46:25 <rust_collector> say hi to the train
05:46:53 <rust_collector> scream hi to the train, if you want. that seems more fun
05:58:31 <motosteve> It might not appreciate it, these 1990s trains dont scream as much as the old 80s ones
06:03:25 <motosteve> Wakefield station has ATM Machines :)
06:06:34 <rust_collector> I know 2 places around here, that still has those. I have never seen anyone use them
06:21:52 <motosteve> Do they use the ATM instead?
06:22:18 <rust_collector> arrrgh
06:23:43 <rust_collector> the atm dispenser machine. that is an idea
06:24:18 <rust_collector> has a big hole way up the wall, and a button near the small crater

06:30:00 <rust_collector> motosteve, talking about trains, and weirdos... have you ever been at the "rails of sheffiels" model train store? it is a bit on the south side, uhm, chesterfield road? I have to look it up
06:31:08 <motosteve> They opened one at sheffield station, i noticed it on xmas day
06:31:18 <rust_collector> right
06:31:26 <motosteve> Havent been in though
06:31:45 <rust_collector> that should be a place to see strange people
06:32:18 <motosteve> I wonder if model trains are more reliable than real ones
06:33:25 <rust_collector> probably, these days

08:31:44 <Ampera> rust_collector, good news, I fixed a thing
08:31:47 <Ampera> bad news, I broke a thing
08:31:59 <rust_collector> woohoo!
08:32:02 <Ampera> sounds like a day's work, and I get to do half of it all again tomorrow
08:32:13 <rust_collector> perfect!
08:32:16 <Ampera> had to replace my rear brakes and rotors, and then broke a stud
08:32:31 <Ampera> so now i get to remove all the brakes again and then replace the stud
08:32:52 <rust_collector> good good. this is how we keep the stud industry going
08:33:16 <rust_collector> hm, stud. is this a wheel stud?
08:33:45 <Ampera> yes
08:33:47 <rust_collector> can not remember a stud in the brakes.
08:33:49 <rust_collector> oh ok
08:33:51 <rust_collector> good
08:34:02 <Ampera> the brake rotor is mounted on the studs
08:34:09 <rust_collector> well, ok
08:34:54 <rust_collector> so, did you have stuck pads?
08:35:06 <Ampera> stuck pads?
08:35:30 <rust_collector> yeah, brake pads. stuck, so...they stick
08:35:51 <rust_collector> or were they just worn out?
08:37:36 <rust_collector> especially in the rear, they see little use, so they end up rusting in place, and all the braking is mostly done by bending the pads and bracket things.
08:38:20 <Ampera> rust_collector, maybe it was stuck or something. The rear driver's side outer pad was completely worn down
08:38:25 <Ampera> all the other rear pads had tons of meat
08:38:28 <Ampera> so something was sticky
08:39:11 <rust_collector> yeah, sounds like it. do those have the calliper floating, or does it have a piston on each side?
08:39:23 <Ampera> just a piston on one side
08:39:38 <Ampera> the one that wore out was the one without a piston
08:39:57 <Ampera> https://cloud.systemtheta.net/s/APySFgcE6x3MQap/preview
08:41:00 <rust_collector> ok. make sure the calliper can "float" nicely on the pins. and do not put too much grease on them, or they just turn to little hydraulic cylinders
08:41:30 <Ampera> you are telling me this after I already replaced everything
08:41:55 <rust_collector> you are welcome, lol
08:41:56 <Ampera> I didn't touch the pins, I just replaced the pads.
08:42:44 <rust_collector> ok. well, when you have the wheel off, push back the piston, and see if you can clink-clonk the caliper back and forth
08:43:02 <rust_collector> or you will just be doing this again
08:43:44 <Ampera> I'll look into it when it is not freezing outside
08:44:45 <rust_collector> that is an idea. or, just go around the car, when you park it, after a trip, and feel for heat.
