00:33:49 <electrohead> yes, I'll take that, instead
00:33:51 <electrohead> lol

00:47:50 * Nothing\ titters
00:47:58 <Nothing\> heya Kuschelpony how goes?
00:48:15 <Kuschelpony> Hello Back Nothing
00:48:21 <Kuschelpony> mh very few to say
00:48:49 <Kuschelpony> currently organizing a trip to Cologne in good two weeks
00:48:58 <Nothing\> right on, sounds fun
00:49:13 <Nothing\> i'm organizing a trip to the hospital to have surgery in a few hours
00:49:17 <Nothing\> heh
00:50:01 <Nothing\> jacked up my shoulder real bad the other day. I actually dislocated my collarbone, which i didn't know was possible.
00:51:13 <Kuschelpony> ouch
00:51:19 <Nothing\> and broke it, and turned my shoulder ligamients into hamburger meat: https://i.ibb.co/VcHcrgWx/20260508-140619.jpg
00:56:36 <MrMobodies> what the hell is that
00:56:48 <MrMobodies> you had a terrible accident or something
00:56:53 <MrMobodies> for that to happen
00:57:45 <MrMobodies> Yes I am pleased it is now being treated as an emergency than something less than routine appointment
00:58:30 <MrMobodies> I hope they fix it and you get better

00:59:55 <MrMobodies> They seem to care more about "smart motorways" and removing the hard shoulder lines, than testing and to make sure these things work properly.
01:01:27 <MrMobodies> all they had to do is leave the hard shoulder makings alone and allow the lane open on discretion for slow moving traffic where it seemed prove to work in 2006
01:02:30 <MrMobodies> when "all lanes running" was announced, it did take me much to release that if someone had broken down or even made it to what use to be a hard shoulder
01:03:13 <MrMobodies> a lorry doing 60mph might be too slow to stop or notice it, especially if the traffic around them is fast and busy
01:03:24 <MrMobodies> a heavy lorry i mean
01:07:01 <MrMobodies> what I don't understand is, why do they feel the need to NOT to call it "smart motorways" anymore if they don't shade in what use to be hard shoulder. Wasn't like that before from 2006. Sounds to me like an EGOCENTRIC thing from a group of people in charge of it.
01:07:23 <MrMobodies> oops shade in I mean
02:00:21 <rc-garage> I think you would be a really bland burger.
02:11:59 <arch> bland burglar who is out to rob some burgers
02:58:50 <arch> so electrohead, i see why hams tend to be hermits on hilltops. have some contractors over to fix stuff on my house. soon as they plug in their battery chargers, s meter goes to S6, complete hiss across the entire 2m band on my radio
03:00:58 <electrohead> EMI everywhere, yay!
03:03:13 <rc-garage> welcome to the normal world

04:53:00 <MrMobodies> This is what i use to experience 20 years ago.
04:53:15 <MrMobodies> and there were spelling and punctual mistakes
04:53:28 <MrMobodies> not all of them but quite a few
04:53:53 <MrMobodies> yep that was it "did not know what was being asked."
04:55:00 <MrMobodies> seems either one of them is out of touch
04:56:30 <MrMobodies> oh actually not 20 years ago I mean't in around the 2000's

20:37:10 <MrMobodies> if they have no transferrable data on students then wouldn't that be a win win
20:38:44 <MrMobodies> What I find interested is, how was that allowed to get on undetected and without been seen.
23:22:14 <steve30> dammit, I missed Attack Helicopter gender and Tetris gender awareness week.
