00:04:22 <K> yup
00:06:03 <arch> also what i and most other americans see when these newfangled korean boy bands keep coming out
00:06:38 <arch> how do these fangirls keep track of who's who, they all look equally gay /j
00:07:31 * arch goes back to listening to the ogs like 4C, BoyzIIMen, NSYNC, and BackStreet Boys
00:21:19 <K> East 17!
00:43:37 <arch> damn, that's a throwback
01:17:31 <electrohead> !twss
01:17:31 <EEVBot> That's what she said!
01:49:44 * arch sticks a fat sticky booger under electrohead's workbench
01:51:22 <electrohead> ewww
02:19:48 <K> what colour?
02:23:19 <MrMobodies> Having a sh*t day
02:24:14 <MrMobodies> my mum wants me to post a letter to the neighbour about paying their fair share of repairs to the private road and i don't want to be piggy in the middle
02:24:33 <MrMobodies> and two, one of the barmen, who sometimes work at the local pub
02:24:56 <MrMobodies> I had a spare laptop screen he could have that I took from someone's drive where the motherboard don't work
02:25:42 <MrMobodies> He want to borrow £20 3 months ago, promising to pay it back and I anticipated he wouldn't be able with his work and living situation
02:26:14 <MrMobodies> he asked again if I could do it after not turning up today from last night
02:26:30 <MrMobodies> then he said he had another laptop without the charger
02:26:33 <MrMobodies> to look at
02:26:38 <MrMobodies> then he wanted £70
02:26:46 <MrMobodies> now that made me SICK
02:26:55 <MrMobodies> I am not going to the pub now
02:27:06 <MrMobodies> I told the owner that this is wrong
02:27:33 <MrMobodies> I told them he can leave the laptops there tonight and tomorrow I'll look at them
02:27:39 <MrMobodies> but not whilst he is there
02:29:20 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/FhGrHmLY/P1380578.jpg
02:30:07 <MrMobodies> This is why I don't to to Elu anymore. The beggers.
02:30:22 <MrMobodies> oops Ely, Cambridgeshire
02:30:45 <MrMobodies> It is so wrong. I don't go out and text people for money.
02:31:09 <MrMobodies> I am not even charging him for the laptops now that makes me even more sick.
02:31:52 <MrMobodies> Last week he got this new girfriend, a few weeks before, from zero hours to part time
02:32:02 <MrMobodies> work at a pub in some other place
02:32:24 <MrMobodies> I heard this through the owner who is like family to him
02:33:10 <MrMobodies> oops makes me feel sick
02:33:37 <MrMobodies> he should not be asking for money like that
02:34:32 <MrMobodies> it is technically begging and maybe he should be visiting this pub if he can' afford it or to travel at this time
02:34:47 <MrMobodies> what do you think of that?
02:36:35 <MrMobodies> if it was anyone else I would have told them to go away and block their number the problem he is like family to them

06:36:19 <electrohead> lol
07:33:31 <MrMobodies> that does look a bit like something out of a horror film to me
07:33:47 <MrMobodies> the barman told his friend off not to ask me for money again
07:34:24 <MrMobodies> it's not nice receiving sms messages like that
07:36:20 <MrMobodies> he told him not to come either so that was nice

15:54:21 <Nothing\> ahoyahoy
15:54:49 <steve30> o/
15:54:53 <Nothing\> i cracked open a small geode i have. Beautiful pale blue crystals.
15:55:34 <Nothing\> it's cool to think i'm the only person to have ever laid eyes on it or touch it and it's the first time it's come into contact with air in i dunno how many hundreds of millions of years
15:56:20 <Nothing\> actually, i didn't even think about it, but when i cracked it, I would have breathed in a small amount of that millions of years old air trapped inside since it formed
15:56:25 <Nothing\> now that's a cool thought
15:56:48 <steve30> cool
15:57:01 <Nothing\> yeah, i'd say. heh.
15:57:29 <Nothing\> definitely buying more of these. But they're a pain to open without a circular saw or band saw
15:57:57 <Nothing\> i tried using a dremel and a hard spot destroyed 3 of my cutting wheels
15:58:22 <Nothing\> dremels scare the crap out of me, anyway
15:58:34 <Nothing\> they rev up to scary high RPMs
16:34:35 <steve30> My "old" 14" TV set has really crappy audio compared to today's smartphones
16:34:51 <steve30> I guess its amazing how far speaker tech has come in 2 decades

19:28:12 <xstevia> Hi
19:32:51 <xstevia> My local council office has thinkpads
19:33:42 <xstevia> I was going to say thats oddly expensive, but they look very well used, so maybe they are getting their moneys worth
19:55:47 * xstevia waves from onepoundfiftyland
20:07:38 * electrohead adds another quarter, waves
20:22:51 <K> they think pads otherwise their brais keep seeping out

21:29:54 <MrMobodies> what if I don't give permission for them to store my data on infrastructure owned by Palantir?
21:31:32 <MrMobodies> "a promised £10 billion in investment." I'd imagine that'd be some loan arranged by Palantir or their partners to be paid back by future governments.
21:31:56 <MrMobodies> in this deal they have with them on patient sharing data
21:36:15 <MrMobodies> It won't really "put them in countrol of their data" will it if they sell it to Palantir indirectly, will it.

22:19:16 <MrMobodies> Steve30, Wes Streeting quit. Now rather than promotion from other MP's, will he back stab the PM for his place I wonder and that's when I loose trust.
22:35:08 <steve30> I still remember him from when he was president of the NUS
23:50:09 <MrMobodies> How was he then?
23:55:34 <steve30> No idea, I just remember both him and the NUS existing.
