00:02:37 * K hides rc_garage 10mm socktets in a place he could never guesss.
00:02:55 <rc_garage> kinky
00:05:14 <MrMobodies> Hear this time and time again

00:05:15 <EEVBot> [url] Calls for better warnings on devices after Dublin woman fatally electrocuted in bath | www.breakingnews.ie
00:06:24 <MrMobodies> " a three-metre extension cable had been plugged into a socket in the bedroom while his wife’s phone was “just barely in the water.”"
00:07:49 <Kuschelpony> mmh no idea how to solve the underlying problem, that people are non longer growing up with any sense of how to deal with electricity
00:08:01 <MrMobodies> I'd thought a an extension lead right near a bath tub with wires running to things on it might be asking for trouble especial if there is no RCD.
00:09:17 <MrMobodies> The thought frightens me a bit, inside water right near a mains extension lead
00:10:32 <Kuschelpony> thats what i meant
00:11:53 <MrMobodies> "Ann-Marie O’Gorman, 46," so she'd be born in 1980 and I am 4 years younger.
00:12:21 <MrMobodies> Looks like it started about then, people not aware for electricution risks and water.
00:16:48 <MrMobodies> Maybe they could have observed something from the films back in the day

00:17:22 <MrMobodies> that was one of my favourite bits
00:18:07 <MrMobodies> Films with electrocution and torture is what I like
00:18:21 <MrMobodies> and it's only acting and not real
00:20:17 <rc_garage> people do not seem to grow up with any sense of how to do most things that are physical, I think. like changing a lightbulb, or figuring out how to clear the trap under the sink.

03:54:08 <arch> you can use it to make your shaft smooth
03:54:26 <arch> you could also charge the jews and muslims a lot of money for circumcisions
03:58:11 <electrohead> lmfao
04:06:11 <rust_collector> are you saying they have small...parts?
04:29:26 <Kuschelpony> i wonder if the mess with the NE5532 can be somewhat sorted out by looking for characteristic differences of resistances or diode junctions

05:53:10 <flyback> its a shame the new irc client for elks linux is Canucked
05:53:16 <flyback> I really wanted to try it
05:53:27 <flyback> since elks linux is the best shot at multitasking on a 808x or 286
05:54:52 <flyback> there's also freegeos for 808x and 286 but it's web broswer doesn't do tls/ssl and the irc client only works on a few networks with many bugs
05:55:00 <flyback> it's also too slow on a 808x

05:57:17 <flyback> wow starting the network stack killed bobcat I guess you can't web browser on elks linux unless they redcode it to use xms or ems memory
05:58:14 <flyback> :/
05:58:31 <flyback> supposted to be a way to use UMB memory for code also
06:00:15 <flyback> someone claimed they loaded dos, loaded up a umb manager then loaded the elks linux kernel from dos using loadlin and it was able to use the umb memory dos had mapped
06:00:23 <flyback> makes sense since elks linux runs in real mode same as dos
06:35:34 <electrohead> flyback: DSL?
06:35:55 <electrohead> there's another distro in my mind, but I can't think of the name
07:59:56 <flyback> dsl?
08:00:03 <flyback> no elks linux

12:53:32 <MrMobodies> High pollent count AGAIN later today
12:53:49 <MrMobodies> got to find the anti histamines
13:01:56 <MrMobodies> Someone at the pub said to me last week that I always focus on all the negatives.
13:02:05 <MrMobodies> As an observation he said.
13:02:12 <MrMobodies> He might be right.
13:03:45 <MrMobodies> It's not that I like or want to focus on negative things but they inconvenience me into focusing how can I make it better.
13:04:02 <MrMobodies> and also skeptism too
13:04:43 <MrMobodies> https://www.sustainabletimes.co.uk/post/uk-government-explores-community-battery-rollout-to-cut-household-energy-costs
13:04:47 <EEVBot> [url] UK Government Explores Community Battery Rollout to Cut Household Energy Costs | Sustainable Times | www.sustainabletimes.co.uk
13:05:47 <MrMobodies> "The government has also pointed to the UK’s incomplete smart meter rollout as a potential barrier. Without widespread smart metering and flexible energy tariffs, some households may be unable to capture the full financial benefits of shifting electricity consumption away from peak periods."
13:05:56 <MrMobodies> That's what THE BATTERIES are for.
13:06:26 <MrMobodies> the way that is worded thought
13:06:57 <MrMobodies> "Capture the full financial benefits of shifting consumption away from peak periods"
13:07:50 <MrMobodies> How about being OVERCHARGED an expensive rate on flexible tarrifs, possible a lot more higher than fixed rate during peak times.
13:08:43 <MrMobodies> Some households won't benefit if they work certain times or need energy at the peak hours
13:46:32 <MrMobodies> 19 year olds going out and doing this stuff

13:46:33 <EEVBot> [url] MSN | www.msn.com
13:46:59 <MrMobodies> I never EVER caught a disease from sharing a glass for the reason of hygiene.
13:49:32 <MrMobodies> I read a few years ago that such places were kept filthy and dirty which is why this bacteria was able thrive on things but that may not matter it is full of infected people.
13:50:31 <MrMobodies> My sister use to go to nightclubs in the late 1990's but it wasn't like that and neither did she caught such disease.
13:52:36 <MrMobodies> the one she went to was which was in Romford getting quite dangerous where people were getting knived and killed so they eventually shut it down and built what is now known as Queens hospital over it and the nightclubs just moved in the city pubs.
13:53:52 <MrMobodies> which has done the town center a disservice, with police surrounding the pubs at night with their batons from 2008 and what is normal sounds like a bust up
13:54:21 <MrMobodies> they use to be quiet before that when I came out of the cinema
13:55:18 <MrMobodies> as a result a non alcohol order was issued, in 2018 a notice that the order couldn't be enforced,
13:56:09 <MrMobodies> People getting drunk at the pub as soon as 10am in the morning singing and shouting in the street
13:56:57 <MrMobodies> and hardly much shops opened, not the Romford it once was.
