01:48:41 <MrMobodies> the newspaper?
01:51:59 <xstevia> The big fire ball
02:05:36 <MrMobodies> Well it exists less in Scotland, which is why they have to invent time travel

03:54:37 <MrMobodies> Wow, these gambling companies. It's like the winnders are treated like they gambled a lot of money on the stock market, lost and asked to pay back the investment.

08:30:44 <MrMobodies> Hopefully that'd work better than the old large Netgear DNAP210 that was in a wooden frame
08:31:47 <MrMobodies> I plan to use just the 5GHz portion but due to the way the SMA plugs were had to move and extend the cables.
08:32:57 <MrMobodies> to control some old disco lights
08:33:16 <MrMobodies> which don't have controls to switch them on or off
08:33:36 <arch> k i did not
08:35:38 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/09hP9Z0m/Vonets.jpg
08:36:21 <MrMobodies> I like how they made the built in webserver nice and simple/unbloated, with no stupid dimming overlays or flashy stuff.
08:37:14 <MrMobodies> and I can see everything on that page at a glance without scrolling through oversized text and graphics where I'd obtain very little.
08:38:21 <rc-garage> why not? it says watch?
08:38:36 <rc-garage> it asked nicely.....
08:55:26 <K> but did it wear a suit?
08:55:48 <rc-garage> always
08:56:00 <rc-garage> a nice bacon dress
08:56:05 <rc-garage> as it is female
08:57:20 <rc-garage> well, it is a suit, I guess. like a 38 year old japanese school girl
08:57:36 <K> hmm.
08:58:15 <rc-garage> you have too many questions, I have to go
08:59:44 <K> indeed.
08:59:47 <K> maybe tomorrow.
09:07:18 <rust_collector> yes, tomorrow is great.
09:07:51 <rust_collector> maybe write your questions on a lime green post-it note?
09:08:25 <rust_collector> or teal
09:08:31 <rust_collector> teal is nice
09:18:37 <K> all I have is some candy wrapper, licorice-taffy
09:18:45 <rust_collector> ooh

17:30:45 <K> hello toblerones
17:45:54 <K> Ysjoelfir - explain: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20qxjxe2nno
17:45:54 <EEVBot> [url] Wolf bites woman in shock German attack on busy Hamburg shopping street | www.bbc.com
20:43:27 <Ysjoelfir> K - weeeeeell.... the thing with our wolves is.... they were nearly extinct, so a repopulation program was put into place. which worked great. now a lot of farmers and people not living in the cities have been complaining about wolf attacks, for quite a while now, as these animals are protected and can't be hunted nor harmed, they just don't fear coming near humans. and since the agencies that are in charge of such things are.. quite ideology
20:43:29 <Ysjoelfir> driven from time to time, they won't admit that wolves have been a problem for quite some people for quite a while. just now they can't deny it, since this happened in the 2nd largest city of germany, where a wolf should have never been in the first place.
20:48:43 <K> it was more in jest, but yeah, your explanation makes sense, sadly.
20:50:10 <K> we have occasional deer or "forest pig" (?) wander in
20:50:21 <K> no wolves
20:58:40 <rust_collector> I think they tend to be pretty shy. the science people say they are hard to find, so they can count them, so I guess they like to stay away from us.
21:01:57 <K> likely yea. I think I've seen wild wolf once
21:02:49 <K> but they are semi-protected here as i understand, and ceratain amount can be and are hunted every year
