01:36:26 <MrMobodies> Fascinate me how

01:36:50 <MrMobodies> These people are still able to get prescription only controlled substances.
01:37:34 <MrMobodies> Were there any questions about she was able to get that amount and where did she get it from.
01:38:56 <MrMobodies> I am surprised the police hadn't been alerted by that newspaper nor the hospital.
01:40:01 <MrMobodies> and she's a dental nurse... should know better.
01:56:51 <arch> how do you do, fellow slime monsters?
02:00:17 <MrMobodies> Suppose to see someone yesterday but they fell asleep grieving for their husband who passed away a month ago
02:00:45 <MrMobodies> no phone call today but I am not going out in this weather, it is raining heavily and a big storn
02:02:19 <MrMobodies> the husband owned a computer shop that shut last year and and she wants to sell off the remainder of his stock at her bungalow and a £130 a month storage lockup.
02:03:17 <MrMobodies> the sad thing is, they had onlu been married less than 10 years.

04:58:12 <flyback> how do the diodes on those marx generators survive
04:58:13 <flyback> heh
04:59:01 <flyback> nice diode specs 1000v up to 1mhz
04:59:41 <flyback> but isn't the marx too high for them also all the emi and emf coming back on them I suspect
05:15:09 Quit: watcher ([email protected]) Client exited
05:26:21 <arch> when the smaller spark gaps ionize the air, the voltages are much less than 1kv
05:26:51 <arch> also if you mean the voltages between the stages: those are just the differences between each stage
05:27:15 <arch> also i think these bigger diodes are able to handle avalanche breakdown pretty well
05:30:17 <flyback> neat

05:39:23 <arch> the cockroft walton generator is the one with just diodes and capacitors: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockcroft%E2%80%93Walton_generator and the marx generator is a combo of resistors, capacitors, and smaller spark gaps: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marx_generator i had a feeling i messed with something like that a long time ago when i was in middle school

05:41:07 <arch> i messed with the CW generator, to get HVDC out of two 12V iron core transformers connected back to back in reverse. i didn't go crazy like electroboom's contraption
05:43:42 <flyback> I wanna make some vibrators someday
05:43:43 <flyback> for fun
05:43:53 <arch> !lenny
05:43:54 <EEVBot> ( ͡° ʖ̯ ͡°)
05:44:15 <flyback> I have some old ups transformers, mains freq ones not smps (apc first model) I could pulse on/off
06:03:14 <rust_collector> uh, what are you trying to do?

10:14:45 <flyback> mechanical smps using a relay or self oscillating coil
10:19:04 <rust_collector> oh, yeah, that can be interesting

16:04:13 <steve30> does anyone know what a "desi lesbian" is? Or is this the point that I need to switch the internet off again?
16:05:45 <arch> steve30, i think that's someone who uses Debian
16:06:34 <arch> jk
16:06:50 <arch> i believe the person is asking for a lesbian of indian heritage
16:06:57 <arch> that's typically what "desi" means
16:07:54 <steve30> ta
16:07:55 <arch> actually desi could be: pakistan, india, bangladesh, nepal
16:08:18 <arch> basically SEA countries
16:08:58 <MrMobodies> Hello
16:09:20 <MrMobodies> it is not often I get threatened with violence. Quite rare
16:10:15 <MrMobodies> Today at the pub it was packed, there was a food van serving Carribean food so I thought let's eat outside and after go in the back
16:10:34 <MrMobodies> to get all the colour values from the Bestopper LS10 moving head
16:10:55 <MrMobodies> there were children running around as typical and was a bit worried they'd knock things over
16:11:06 <MrMobodies> anyway the dad came in and said "what you're doing here"
16:11:48 <MrMobodies> didn't give me a chance he told me that his children were here and he don't want them near me, it's a kids room and to F*** *FFF"
16:12:09 <MrMobodies> I said it isn't a kids room, it has a boxing machine pool table...
16:12:32 <MrMobodies> "If you don't leave I am going to smash you f**** face in."
16:12:50 <MrMobodies> I am going to toilet in 2 minutes if you are steal here, I said I'm going to call the police
16:12:59 <MrMobodies> and he started calling me a pervert
16:13:16 <MrMobodies> anyway I banged on the barman's door, he and the land lady came out
16:13:21 <MrMobodies> and had a right go at him
16:13:41 <MrMobodies> they said it's that room is not for children under 12 years
16:14:03 <MrMobodies> then he started again calling me a pervert if that he'll smash my face in
16:14:07 <MrMobodies> before he left
16:14:38 <MrMobodies> he looked to me like he was dressed up in medieval clothes ready to go to battle as if he was wearing a metal vest
16:14:51 <MrMobodies> apparently someone said he'd been shooting with his family earlier
16:15:12 <MrMobodies> the way he spoke was like he owned the place
16:15:40 <MrMobodies> there's no need to talk to people like that and threaten to beat them up
16:15:52 <MrMobodies> I don't like feeling threatened with violence
16:16:14 <MrMobodies> oh 5 people approached this man on the way out and he just ignored him
16:18:04 <MrMobodies> there was this lad, who knew him, went to the same school and told me, he's a bully and would pick on anyone randomly, and also he's on drugs weed apparently
16:18:26 <MrMobodies> he told me he fits flooring and carpets
16:19:04 <MrMobodies> he said he's not tough as he sounds when ganged up on which is exactly what happened when he was asked to leave
16:19:13 <MrMobodies> so a bit shaken up
16:19:59 <MrMobodies> he's worried and protective of his children, but he didn't set a good example with the way he behaved. I remember pointing there's a camera there filming you.
16:20:24 <MrMobodies> and your children so nothing to be worried about
16:21:04 <MrMobodies> The landlady had me print posters last week about children running all over the place and still has to put up one in the pool room that under 12's not allowed.
16:21:59 <MrMobodies> I bet he'd done none of that if they were other people in that room
16:22:26 <MrMobodies> I was told he's not a regular and sometimes come in
16:23:19 <MrMobodies> the last time I got threatened there was in early 2020 because a regular thought I was a threat to their business.
16:23:48 <MrMobodies> anyone got threatened before with aggression and violence?
16:25:36 <MrMobodies> I mean like that at their local pub
16:26:49 <MrMobodies> what made me sick was being repeatidly called a pervert by this man all because his daughters were there running around despite there being camera's all over the place.
16:28:42 <MrMobodies> it makes me feel under appreciate for the bits and pieces I do there when people like that can just walk in, make judgements about me and start accusing me of things and turn aggressive.
16:30:23 <MrMobodies> but yes parent's come in, dump their children in the back pool room thinking it is a childrens play room and they end up damaging things like the pool table, yesterday was damage to the plaster on the wall.
16:31:58 <MrMobodies> Isn't it funny, they got me to print these, laminate, put these up

16:31:59 <EEVBot> [url] Image — Postimages | i.postimg.cc
16:32:09 <MrMobodies> and the parent's pay no attention to it
16:33:13 <MrMobodies> and think that poolroom is for their children to run around
17:01:53 <MrMobodies> Here's what I propose to put up some of these
