01:18:54 <Kuschelpony> hello steve
01:19:10 <xstevia> o/
01:19:12 <Kuschelpony> best wishes back from a silent grey bavarian village
01:19:47 <xstevia> Busy here as people are going to the football
01:21:10 <Kuschelpony> ah
01:21:46 <Kuschelpony> i set up and try out my airbrush spraypaint this afternoon
01:22:15 <Kuschelpony> have now the compressed air adapter fitting and just need to squeeze the hose over the connector, then im ready to start
01:23:22 <rust_collector> warm it a bit, and go
01:24:30 <Kuschelpony> first of all i need to be warm inside myself, its barely above freezing outside
01:27:59 <rust_collector> uh. uhm...okay
01:28:54 <xstevia> nice, ive never done airbrushing before
01:30:35 <rust_collector> I was thinking about airbrush things last week. for painting model things. like I have thought about many many times before, but... that never happened
01:37:29 <xstevia> Ooh, the sun is coming out
01:38:21 <rust_collector> here comes the sun. pling plong ding
02:04:03 <arch> lmaoooo electrohead i hear him right now, he's on
02:04:17 <arch> on cb channel 6 hes on rn
02:04:43 <arch> ok so that's good, now ive confirmed most of these transceivers work
02:05:04 <arch> the realistic cb tranny needs fixing though, no power on it
02:13:47 <steve30> i'm going to go for a chinese takeaway, since i didn't yesterday
02:16:09 <rust_collector> but no greggs?
02:21:39 <steve30> nah, need something more substantial
02:22:28 * electrohead plongs rust_collector
02:23:49 <steve30> I wonder if "salt & pepper munchy box" is something you can actually get in China
02:24:31 <rust_collector> it probably is. but maybe not what you think you will get
02:25:54 <rust_collector> bim gmip
02:27:00 * steve30 wonders what the difference is between Chicken Balls and Chicken Bites
02:29:15 <steve30> Under "English Dishes (Including Chips):" is
02:29:22 <steve30> 153. Chips... £2.20
02:29:35 <rust_collector> I guess balls can be made out of waste products and bread, while bites was made by a guy that is not allowed to use a knife, so he bites off chunks?
02:29:37 <steve30> I wonder if that's chips on its own or chips with chips
02:31:25 * xstevia innocently walks past the Sexy Superstore :p
02:32:08 <steve30> i think i'll get a number 125
02:33:37 <electrohead> how'd you find my house?
02:35:28 <rust_collector> mr steve has a sort of radar system
02:36:09 <xstevia> hehe
02:38:10 <electrohead> I should totally add a CB antenna to the farm

04:21:31 <rust_collector> around here, it is hard to go longer than 20 minutes, before you come across some humans
04:45:53 <arch> i am stunned by the number of shitty, so called "regulated", power supplies i have found all made by radioshack. fuckers are outputting 18VDC, even tho it says 13.8V regulated
04:46:58 <xstevia> I went to the chip shop and had chips
04:50:57 <electrohead> arch: even under load?
04:53:11 * electrohead fishes xstevia
05:11:39 * rust_collector thinks arch is too new
05:11:39 <arch> ill let you know. right now im fixing one of these bad boys: https://elektrotanya.com/PREVIEWS/power_supply/power_supply_vegyes/23432455/egyeb/radio_shack_micronta_22-120_12_volt_2.5a_power_supply_sch.pdf_1.png

05:29:23 <steve31> apparently my mum is getting fibre "broadband" in a couple of weeks
05:33:12 * electrohead waves
11:07:32 <electrohead> K: you must prove your potats
11:07:49 <K> my potats ar strong and safe!
11:08:05 <K> and frozen :|
11:08:10 <K> (cries)
11:11:05 <arch> damn, this kenwood mc-50 costs $100 all on its own. insane
11:11:42 <arch> these ham radio old bastards can partially fund my retirement in a decade, if the prices keep going up for these oldies
11:14:16 <arch> le sigh...so many more goodies to sort and obtain manuals for :|
11:14:31 <K> u just lazy
11:14:32 <arch> i dont know how half this shit works lol. so many buttons, so little time...

11:41:59 <electrohead> how's y'all, and things?
11:42:31 <electrohead> arch: I like how that has a backup 5V rail
11:43:11 <T3sl4> nothing special, trawling reddit lol
11:44:57 <arch> agreed, i like that backup rail idea
11:53:51 <electrohead> I try so hard to stay away from reddit
11:54:08 <electrohead> but then, public freakout and crazy fucking videos is pretty good at times, lol
11:54:37 <T3sl4> i never did create an account, and have no intention to. participating seems like such a drag
11:55:19 <T3sl4> just to get the sort of flavor of what's on the internet in various subjects today
11:55:46 <electrohead> last account I closed down was many years ago
11:56:18 <T3sl4> which, tons of ICE videos turning up today, MN is standing up to them
11:56:47 <electrohead> so many ICE videos anymore
11:59:28 <arch> orange man is gonna cause further chaos
12:00:17 <Ampera> idk, MN seems to be getting shit on by them
12:00:22 <Ampera> I think the real standing up is yet to come
12:00:25 <Ampera> if at all
12:01:59 <T3sl4> more ppl are probably going to die, before enough other ppl wake up and realize this is wrong
12:04:39 <Ampera> I think everyone realizes that. What nobody will be able to predict is if that number is in the thousands, the hundreds of thousands, the millions, or the billions.
12:16:17 <Halcyon> *sigh*
12:16:24 <Halcyon> Very unmotivated today
12:18:19 * T3sl4 wet willies Halcyon's ear
12:20:04 <electrohead> do what I initially did: just start messing around, figuring out what does what
12:34:16 <arch> electrohead, any clue what this doodad does? https://www.ebay.com/itm/166634307863
12:34:17 <EEVBot> [url] ARCOM FILTER MODEL MP-3 | eBay | www.ebay.com
12:34:37 <arch> ive got that entire set as shown there in the listing

13:09:59 <electrohead> my first question: how many model numbers are there?
13:10:38 <electrohead> seems to be multiple stages; would make sense these are custom modules, and can confirm via the website of arcom - https://www.arcomdigital.com/filters/other/
13:10:38 <EEVBot> [url] Other Filters – Arcom Digital | www.arcomdigital.com
13:11:09 <electrohead> I'm thinking that's a series of notch and band pass/reject filters
13:12:14 <electrohead> I use am/fm notch filters on a good bunch of my SDR's
