01:29:42 * arch straps a playing card across the spokes to give an extra 5HP to rc-garage's bike
02:37:11 <arch> steve30, is your bike LiPo or LiFePo?
02:37:15 <arch> batteries*
02:37:32 <steve30> ooh, not sure actually
02:39:08 <arch> i would rather DIY a LiFePo4 battery instead of using the LiPo batteries the chinese ebikes like to use. cant trust those batteries
02:39:55 <steve30> My bike is from a quality manufacturer, so I can at least hold them to account if it goes boom :)
02:40:23 <steve30> i do keep pondering trying to make an external battery for it though
02:40:49 <steve30> not sure of the pinout for the connector though, as the bike has a 3rd pin for some sort of comms
02:41:02 <steve30> haven't had the chance to figure out how it works (if it does anything at all)(
02:41:03 <arch> you can get a 12V 100Ah lifepo4 battery for $120 USD these days, shipped
02:41:38 <steve30> cool
02:42:42 <arch> china is making bank while everyone's fighting over oil

09:06:35 <Halcyon> Morning all
09:06:48 <steve30> hi
09:07:13 <Halcyon> I had the weirdest dream. That I was in an all-you-can-eat McDonalds. Inside was like a hotel buffet, with trays of Chicken and Cheese burgers, and piles of nuggs
09:17:19 <K> do you even like mc donalds?
09:17:41 <Halcyon> I mean, sure, it's an occasional guilty pleasure. Not something I eat often. Maybe 5 times a year.
09:17:59 <steve30> mmm, food
09:18:06 <Halcyon> Mostly because the nearest one is 30 minutes away
09:26:09 * steve30 has been watching temporary faults on youtube

14:09:28 <steve30> There seems to be quite a lot of seemingly AI generated cat channels on youtube now

14:36:07 <steve30> Well, researching AI cat videos led me to this, but at least they honest about the AI

14:40:23 <steve30> lol
15:36:42 <MrMobodies> I didn't know crocodiles were used to make leather
15:38:25 <MrMobodies> I just found an article, with this sort of word soup I remember from the salbutamol inhalers along the articles, "Benefitting the user, other people and the environment"

15:38:48 <MrMobodies> "to understand how smart meters can benefit them, their families and the environment."
15:38:54 <MrMobodies> This bit: The environment
15:39:51 <MrMobodies> what they dont' tell you of course about these sorts of tarrifs, if you use it at the wrong time or times you need to use it, you could end up paying much more than flat rate.
15:41:14 <MrMobodies> and a very similar tone to Thames Water back in 2004, if I remember correcttly "good for the wallet, good for the tap, good for the environment."
15:42:08 <MrMobodies> Reminds me of a John West advert: A man wresting over a fish in a river
15:43:19 <MrMobodies> the man distracts the bear by pointing up to the sky (the environment) the man kicks the bear where the privates, causing the bear to let go.
15:44:48 <MrMobodies> The leaving out of facts, promises and suggestions that may not be suitable for everybody doesn't sound sincere to me.

15:46:28 <MrMobodies> oh it wasn't the sky he, even though he pointed up, he said "Oh look an angel"
15:47:28 <MrMobodies> and they wern't wrestling with the fish, he picked it up after
15:48:05 <MrMobodies> Oh look an angel (distraction/the environment)
15:54:47 <steve30> I'm sure Halcyon will love me for making a forum post about AI kitties :)
15:55:37 <MrMobodies> I thought you said AI kettles for a bit
15:55:58 <MrMobodies> the good thing about AI kitties, Halycon could control them.
15:56:12 <MrMobodies> and do what he says
15:56:26 <MrMobodies> instead of the other way round with the cat demanding for things

15:59:13 <EEVBot> [url] Dunstable postman denied six-figure payout after gambling glitch - BBC News | www.bbc.co.uk
15:59:34 <MrMobodies> I have heard of this happening a few times before. The last one was a horse race in 2018
15:59:47 <MrMobodies> Why is it when they win large amounts of money "it's an error"
16:01:16 <MrMobodies> This bit: "terms and conditions the "operator is entitled to void those transactions, correct account balances and recover any sums withdrawn by you"."
16:02:16 <MrMobodies> So according to the terms and conditions, if they decide AFTWARDS when someone wins, that they don't and they can refuse to pay out. What's the point of gambling then when they can do what they like.
16:02:43 <MrMobodies> "He was told he had three days to pay back his initial winnings of £200, which was described as the "settlement sum"."
16:02:52 <MrMobodies> What if it were the other way round? I wonder.
16:05:37 <MrMobodies> If he LOST £330,906.96 of money he put in a machine due to "AN ERROR" like the above that they "identified, would the casino care then.
16:07:39 <MrMobodies> Isn't it funny, when someone wins big, they suspend their accounts so quick and "identify errors" about it paying out.
16:07:59 <MrMobodies> despite them it being at no fault of their own
16:09:00 <MrMobodies> and then have the cheek to demand that he pays back all his other winnings. It sounds as if they are treating him as someone who cheated and manipulated the machine
16:10:28 <MrMobodies> I can't find that artice now about the horse race but a similar one to that
16:10:31 <MrMobodies> above i mean
