01:54:50 <arch> Rhine_Labs, i was looking into buying one of those. i have a super basic CB radio from RadioShack. the TRC-481. it had burnt traces and a burnt power switch which i ended up jumper/bypassing: https://imgur.com/a/1990s-radioshack-cb-radio-fix-XWqPi8Q
01:56:14 <arch> but the CB radios without the sidebands...have mostly crazy lunatics on it
03:06:59 <arch> Halcyon, simultaneously...you wouldn't happen to work in a factory, would you? https://tenor.com/view/we-work-hard-gif-25525058

06:25:35 * electrohead hugs his peoples
06:34:40 * steve30 collapses on Ampera
06:35:55 <T3sl4> !coffee steve30
06:38:04 * EEVBot hooks steve30 up to a coffee IV
07:24:33 <MrMobodies> I was hoping this utterly useless government department

07:24:35 <EEVBot> [url] Sites of special scientific interest: managing your land - GOV.UK | www.gov.uk
07:24:44 <MrMobodies> Would have been scrapped but they still seem alive today
07:25:12 Quit: Kuschelpony ([email protected]) Connection closed
07:25:13 <MrMobodies> Micromanaging landowners how to work around whatever interests they have on the land
07:25:23 <MrMobodies> and charge them for advice

07:27:50 <MrMobodies> if they have so much interest in the land and make laws that affect the people living on it, why don't they offer to buy it off them.
07:28:52 <MrMobodies> that "site of special scientific interest" reminds me a bit of the land grab laws in spain but they don't take it away, just let the land waste away
07:29:26 <MrMobodies> It's like they are assuming overnship of the land, without paying for it.
07:30:16 <MrMobodies> effectively taking over someone's land and telling them what they must do out of their own pocket...
07:31:04 <MrMobodies> if those decision makers were living there or owned it I'd bet that wouldn't be the case.
07:32:51 <MrMobodies> Funny they say they are there to serve and protect land but end up doing the opposite.
07:33:01 <MrMobodies> with their red tape
07:34:08 <MrMobodies> Most of the reponsibilities seem to fall within the Environmental Agency and Defra so I don't know their point in their existence
07:35:28 <MrMobodies> other than to mark terrorities to see some artifacts appear and threaten landowners into doing what they tell them to do.
07:36:15 <MrMobodies> Disappointed to see Elizabeth Holmes might just be set free.

11:56:23 * arch is freezing while T3sl4 appears to be sipping on a pina colada while lounging in his shorts in -8F weather
12:18:14 <Halcyon> Heheh
12:18:19 <Halcyon> We have bin chickens here
12:18:27 <Halcyon> They aren't actually chickens though
12:18:40 <Halcyon> They are an ibis and they hang around bins

12:22:12 <Ampera> Halcyon, yes that was the reference I was making thanks
12:22:33 <Halcyon> :)
12:22:45 <Ampera> turkeys are not really a thing in urban areas here
12:23:13 <Halcyon> We have brush turkey's in the city. They just wander around the parks, scratching around in leaf litter
12:24:06 <Halcyon> Don't really see them much outside the CBD
12:25:32 <Halcyon> Anyway I probably should get to the shops while I can still be bothered
12:25:37 <Halcyon> Back soon
12:51:53 <gremlinz> effort
12:57:58 <Ampera> gremlinz, miss me with that shit
13:01:32 <gremlinz> come again
13:01:38 <arch> is it just me, or does most everyone here like the smell of rosin core flux and solder?
13:02:27 <gremlinz> i love the smell of chloroform
13:03:04 <Halcyon> Back
13:03:06 <Halcyon> Hey gremlinz
13:03:17 <gremlinz> g'day
13:03:43 <Halcyon> BRB putting the washing machine and dishwasher on while the solar is pissing away energy to the grid
13:06:44 <Halcyon> I need a larger battery
13:32:45 <gremlinz> I need a bigger boat
13:41:17 <Halcyon> Like a yacht?
13:48:22 <arch> so this numark ancient power supply appears to have blown its driving transistor
14:17:56 * flyback rubs nothing/ on it
17:35:56 <Halcyon> I'm just on the $70/month plan since I don't go through more than 50 GB data in a month. I mostly use WiFi
17:36:02 <Halcyon> Hahah yes. I remember that too
17:36:54 <steve30> well, that PAYG sim still have the same £10 of credit i put on a couple of years ago, and my 3 data sim is about £3/month for 25GB. And the 3 SIM in my teltonika router is about £2.50/month for 500GB.
17:37:00 <Halcyon> Did you remember WAP?
17:37:18 <steve30> (got the latter on special offer)
17:37:48 <steve30> I used to use WAP on GPRS on my nokia 3510i. Never used dialup though.
17:38:06 <Halcyon> I think I used dialup once or twice, but mainly to see if it would work.
17:38:19 <Halcyon> Connect the old Nokia to the serial port
17:49:28 * steve30 has a doctors appointment this afternoon
