00:18:47 <arch> man, i didn't know australians were imbeciles at basic english composition. see that guy above. could barely compose a sensible sentence
00:19:12 <arch> you guys gotta upgrade your prison population's literacy smh
00:19:52 <K> u wot
00:25:10 <arch> lol that moron literally came in at 1am and expected responses. most of the EEs in this channel are in the US
00:38:46 <MrMobodies> UK seems to have many overcrowded prisons
00:38:56 <MrMobodies> oh look
00:38:59 <MrMobodies> https://www.zeiss.co.uk/vision-care/eye-health-and-care/work-life/mineral-lenses-for-progressive-lens-wearers-lenses-for-fans.html

00:39:17 <MrMobodies> This bit: " "Thanks to properties such as low weight and high breaking resistance, plastic lenses have gradually overtaken mineral lenses"
00:39:55 <MrMobodies> Low weight and not as equally breakcable has equivallency or better than glass... BS
00:40:07 <MrMobodies> The fact I find them difficult to clean
00:40:25 <MrMobodies> Article looks biased to me.
00:41:08 <MrMobodies> they seem to be saying that they are the same or better when they are different
00:41:49 <MrMobodies> Notice this bit "The major benefits of mineral lenses at a glance:"
00:42:10 <MrMobodies> "at a glance", seems to me that they were reluctant to say that.
00:43:26 <MrMobodies> BS buzz word "freeform technology"
00:45:34 <MrMobodies> very high pollen count today
00:46:02 <MrMobodies> I could feel flem building up so had to shut all the windows

00:51:53 <MrMobodies> Tonight I got to see how Voicemeter performs with this thing
00:52:33 <MrMobodies> that Pentium 3 1000 was so underpowered comepared to this Duo Core
00:54:21 <MrMobodies> I didn't think I would ever find a motherboard past a P3 with an ISA slot, apart from the industrial (backplane ones) and at an affordable price.
01:01:28 <K> I had a pair of beefy P3s as my first work machines, stepping from a silly low mem celeron was quite a step
01:04:45 <K> but not as big as going from core duo mbp to a whatever apple had in their intel retina machines, with poper nvme ssds
01:08:39 <steve30> my PIII box is nearly 27 years old now :o
01:08:52 <steve30> Got a whopping 10 years service out of that

01:13:23 <Nothing\> man amazon is such a ripoff for anything electronics
01:13:41 <steve30> my Core i5 box is getting on a bit now at 8 years old
01:13:52 <Nothing\> not to mention i couldn't even find 1850s. I could find 18650 battery holders. ANd chargers. But not the actual batteries.
01:16:19 <Nothing\> steve30, funny you mention that, I was just thinking the same thing about my computer. Ryzen 5 3600x 6 core at 4.4ghz, 32gb of fairly slow memory.... weird cpu-z lists my physical memory as being 16gb less than it should be. I hope I don't have a stick that crapped out or something
01:17:44 <Nothing\> i've gotta look into this this concerns me
01:17:47 <Nothing\> brbios
01:17:59 <Nothing\> er eufi, whatever.

02:04:38 <Nothing\> well i have no clue why windows is showing 3/4 of my memory like one stick is dead even though my bios sees it just fine
02:05:01 <Nothing\> also, i just discovered an unlikely winning food combination
02:05:07 <Nothing\> cheese + apples
02:05:42 <Nothing\> specifically i tried monterey jack with jalepeno which was a nice mix of sweet and salty and juicy and semi-dry
02:05:51 <Nothing\> was especially good on a ritz cracker
02:05:55 <Nothing\> who knew
02:06:28 <Nothing\> should try different apples/cheeses. I've always been partial to granny smiths but they're too acidic and make my busted-ass teeth hurt
02:06:35 <Nothing\> plus, they're pie apples

05:45:19 <K> if the will is strong.
05:46:29 <MrMobodies> Ventolin apparently very hard to get according to some asthma sufferer's and have to fight to get it
05:46:49 <MrMobodies> and I heard there was a switch in Australia too in the name of the environment
05:46:55 <MrMobodies> then there's this:
05:46:55 <MrMobodies> https://www.reddit.com/r/GeelongCats/comments/1sexphz/using_ventolin_inhalers_before_games/
05:47:10 <MrMobodies> Is that really necessary I wonder or just cheating?
05:47:47 <rust_collector> mine is not of such quality. But I like that he found some kind of use for a floppy
05:48:07 <MrMobodies> why is it they're blaming asthma patients for the environment but not those football players who don't need it in order to survive.
05:48:33 <MrMobodies> Rust_collector, is it Ventolin (Salbutamol) or Salamol?
05:49:12 <MrMobodies> ooh sorry Rust_collector, misread.
05:49:39 <MrMobodies> just noticed the above Floppy disc Youtube ur
05:51:37 <MrMobodies> Using a floppy to launch a game, that isn't even on the disk.
05:53:33 <MrMobodies> I remebered a 15 minute demo back in 2000 built by some Germans and it only took 64kb of space.

19:49:33 <MrMobodies> This bit: They are *using their reliever inhalers less* and are also *more likely to be using a dry powdered inhaler* (BS), which has a lower carbon footprint than a metred-dose inhaler. So really compelling evidence"... saving the NHS money, lowering cost. boosting efficiency, achieving net zero.
19:50:20 <MrMobodies> Aerosol inhalers, really bad, causing the pollution....
19:50:45 <MrMobodies> and they talk about stupid apps when all that should have been done at the surgery.
19:50:58 <MrMobodies> I mean teaching the patients how to use the inhalers
19:52:50 <MrMobodies> the word "compelling evidence"...
19:53:02 <MrMobodies> and *they* but how many
