05:01:34 <MrMobodies> They took his Xbox away when they found contraband on him.
05:02:02 <MrMobodies> They were very frank at Frankland prison.
05:04:45 <MrMobodies> Oh I thought it was drugs he but isn't just some dvd's. I didn't know a collection of things would get someone in trouble in prison and I'd imagine they'd be games for his Xbox.
05:35:28 * arch adds chemical x into T3sl4's power supply

12:43:16 <arch> thanks for the guidance T3sl4, appreciate it
12:43:52 <T3sl4> idk where you get Q3 from, and gate currents are only momentary, and Q5 is a base but that only pulls down too
12:45:05 <arch> you're right, Q3 is not affected by Vsw's current since it's being switched by Q4
12:57:07 <T3sl4> :)
13:01:47 * electrohead passes off dependency hell to someone else

14:11:45 <arch> actually fuck it. i am gonna jb weld this bad boy
14:12:02 <T3sl4> it's non-conductive!
14:12:15 <arch> yeah i meant the housing lol
14:12:41 <arch> see that black plastic part in that image? it's chewed up and coming out of the metal housing
14:13:28 <T3sl4> i forget how those are, if the plastic part breaks or slides out or threads in or whatever
14:14:09 <arch> it slides out, but there is a securing screw hole. the securing screw is missing, and even if it existed, wouldn't have worked because the plastic where it went into is super chewed up
14:17:44 <Halcyon> Hey Ampera

14:49:20 * steve30000 collapses on Halcyon
14:52:15 <flyback> that would be a good day for me sadly
14:53:49 <flyback> you haven't experienced hell till you experienced a block bowel
14:55:32 <flyback> roll on the ground screaming and sweating a literal puddle
15:07:32 <Halcyon> Fucking Microsoft Word. I can't wait until this shit is out of Beta.
15:12:18 <arch> that's the neat part--it never will
15:12:56 <Halcyon> It just assumes so much and almost always gets it wrong. Then when it has made an assumption about what I'm doing, like numbered lists, randomly it decides "Eh, I'm tired now, you do it".
15:44:22 <arch> Claude! play a sad tune on the world's smallest virtual violin
15:44:24 <arch> jk lol
16:02:14 <Halcyon> Hahah
16:02:36 <Halcyon> It's just so frustrating. I spend more time fixing Word's fuck ups than just writing the document.
16:03:28 <Halcyon> I feel it all went to poo years ago when they stopped using the proprietary MSWord format for documents and had to move to the Office Open XML format.
16:03:39 <Halcyon> They never really implemented it very well.
16:06:17 <arch> thats what enemas are for my friend
16:46:25 <Halcyon> Afternoon all
16:46:53 <Halcyon> Aww, not feeling good flyback ?
