06:35:03 <MrMobodies> Hello
06:35:12 <MrMobodies> Steve30, I found this article
06:35:13 <MrMobodies> https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/39269860/missed-gp-appointments-cost-nhs-650-m/
06:35:14 <EEVBot> [url] Verifying Device | www.thesun.co.uk
06:35:37 <MrMobodies> It doesn't seem to say whether it includes telephone appointments.
06:36:32 <MrMobodies> With the demand for appointments, lack of them it doesn't seem to make sense to me, unless they are counting telephone appointments where the person was unreachable.
06:37:02 <MrMobodies> ah sorry, nevermind... I misrea
06:37:12 <MrMobodies> "on those who do not turn up." That must mean face to face.
06:37:41 <MrMobodies> What I don't understand is, why are they putting a price on appointments
06:37:47 <MrMobodies> "Each no-showed GP session costs the NHS around £40."
06:38:13 <MrMobodies> Someone else waiting there would take their place and allow more reserves.

11:54:37 <Nothing\> man i wish i could just use qwerty or dvorak it's doing my head in trying to keep track of both
11:55:06 <Nothing\> use dvorak with both hands until i can't use both hands anymore and switch to qwerty for one hand
11:55:31 <Nothing\> i never cared for those one-handed versions of DVORAK
11:56:19 <Nothing\> the whole saving grace of DVORAK for me was it forced me to use proper touch-typing and rest my fingers on home-row so I would always know what key is under them
11:56:38 <Nothing\> it's not very doable with one-handed dvorak

12:06:40 <MrMobodies> That's alright, no interest in the principle or AI owned and controlled by someone else.
12:07:37 <MrMobodies> I'd rather do it manually and automate things, not have thing willy nilly do them for me and then pay for every little thing it does.
12:08:13 <MrMobodies> My concern is when the Governments get involved and start using taxpayers to pay for it.
12:08:53 <MrMobodies> I mean for measured

12:39:23 <Nothing\> damn adhesive on the dressing is coming off :/
12:39:34 <Nothing\> but for 2 weeks, it's healing beautifully
12:40:13 <Nothing\> gonna leave a gnarly scar =P
12:40:35 <Nothing\> all the way from there out to the middle of my shoulder
12:41:03 <Nothing\> those staples can suck it, though
12:41:13 <Nothing\> getting them out tomorrow, presumably
12:41:34 <Nothing\> i was wondering why i kept randomly feeling like i was getting poked with something sharp
12:43:46 <Nothing\> i'm kinda of curious if they're ferromagnetic. Heh, it'd be cool to be able to "suck" my staples out with a magnet
12:44:19 <Nothing\> something tells me they try not to make implantable devices ferromagnetic

18:57:02 * steve30 foods
18:57:22 <rc_garage> trying to make myself do something, lol. it is hard work
18:57:55 <watcher> rc_garage: I know it is hard work to confinse youre left to do something usefull
18:58:40 <rc_garage> today, I am replacing the... side sill, I think it is in english, on a citroen c4, so it is not something that inspires me much

19:01:52 <watcher> rc_garage: I need to later today to finish the reinstall of my desktop. I took my the whole weekend to just delete it install windows 11 and remove windows (I needed it to test something) and make 2 boot usbs (3 if you include the windows one) and reinstall the OS back. Know I need to place the backup files back.
19:02:52 <watcher> stupid support centers that say just nuke you os and reinstall it. It takes always a whole day atleast to do it. why always do easy answers?
19:03:27 <watcher> I get it in this case but to for in every time I have readed just do a fresh install.
19:04:11 <rc_garage> I gave up on installing windows. I sort of need it on one machine, but, I managed without it so far
19:05:30 <watcher> rc_garage: I also gived up on windows as the main os on that machine and installed qubes os. But I need a bare metal install of windows 11 to test some thing.
19:06:08 <watcher> And I dont have a spare cold storage drive where I could install windows on to test it. (as most poeple would)
19:06:36 <watcher> and drives are to expensive now aday. dvds are on the fleamarket are cheaper per TB
19:07:35 <rc_garage> can you still fit windows on a dvd?
19:08:19 <watcher> I think on a 8 gb one double sided.
19:08:33 <watcher> But I buy dvd as could storage for my back ups
19:08:39 <rc_garage> ok
19:11:26 * steve30 stocked up on DVD-Rs a while back
19:13:42 * watcher is still stocking up on DVD-Rs
19:14:13 <steve30> BD-Rs worked out cheaper per GB for me than DVDs
19:15:50 <watcher> BD-Rs are not much for sale on fleamarkets and thrift shops. So I doubt that it is cheaper for me. But I have now a good burner that can do every thing including every DB-R so If I find them I will buy them
19:16:24 <watcher> even double layer DVD-Rs are rare second hand
19:16:37 <steve30> yeah, I expect you could find surplus DVDs more likely
19:17:02 <steve30> I was hoping to use the 100GB BDXL discs, but they are more expensive than using 4x 25GB BDs
19:17:58 <watcher> and 100GB are not manifacted any more so the supply will dry up somer of later
19:18:53 <watcher> as is the case with floppy disk these are so difficalt to find that even the big boys cannot find them in qauntiy.
19:19:11 <steve30> I think I will try and buy a new HDD in due course
19:20:04 <watcher> I use my DVD-R backup as the second medium next to my hdd backup drives
19:20:28 * steve30 pets his stash of LTO tapes :)
19:21:53 <watcher> steve30: I should have bought that €12 LTO drive at the thrift store years ago. I was too cheap.
19:23:04 <steve30> :(
19:26:18 Quit: watcher ([email protected]) Quit: KVIrc 5.2.10 Quasar http://www.kvirc.net/
19:26:57 <K> can you boot from LTO though?
19:27:46 <steve30> its not intended for it, but i don't know if its theoretically possible
19:58:20 <K> likely not, too spcecific.
19:58:23 <K> !coffee steve30

20:41:47 <Nothing\> weird, the lightbulb in my living room keeps oscillating at a very specific frequency
20:42:51 <Nothing\> as though the filter cap is oscillating with a resistive load or maybe an inductor. Not sure if they use tank circuits. I feel like they do, but I don't know what for.
20:43:17 <Nothing\> heh, the bulb upstairs takes a good 5 seconds or so to turn off entirely
