00:00:22 <Nothing\> electrohead, that just makes me think of ECT lol
00:00:38 <Nothing\> associating wet sponge with "electrohead"
00:00:50 <Nothing\> or the electric chair

00:02:19 <Nothing\> speaking of torture-chairs. My favourite glider rocker that I like to sit in at the computer has become warped from this hot humid weather and now makes squeaky guinea pig noises every time i rock. So annoying.
00:02:40 <Nothing\> actually rust_collector, what would you recommend for such a lubricration job?
00:03:30 <Nothing\> I'm sure it's a noisy bearing of some sort but I dunno what you would lubricate a metal on metal joint with
00:04:16 <Nothing\> i was always taught to use WD-40 as the universal lubricant. Until I learned it was never even meant to be a lubricant of any sort. Which explains why it turns into black sludge after time
00:04:50 <Nothing\> i was thinking maybe graphite powder
00:06:15 <Nothing\> fuck gotta put a new glucose sensor on
00:06:24 <Nothing\> fucking $100 a piece for these things
00:07:36 <Nothing\> and god help you if it falls off or the one time I started bleeding so profusely after putting one in, The blood was forcing its way out this little hole in the middle of the sensor, and under the adhesive barrier running down my arm and dripping on the floor
00:07:51 <Nothing\> for a like, 5mm needle, i sure bled like a stuck pig
00:08:26 <Nothing\> and it's like "yeah bleeding's normal, it'll stop"
00:08:42 <Nothing\> meanwhile i took it off immediately and it left a hematoma for over a month
00:08:56 <Nothing\> a bleb where blood collected under my skin
00:09:06 <Nothing\> not sure if bleb's the right word but i like it
00:09:15 <Nothing\> and i like talking to nobody =P
00:09:21 * Nothing\ am boredz
00:10:05 <Nothing\> guess i'll play mega man, I've been going through the entire... unundecology? what the hell do you call a series of 11 things
00:10:16 <Nothing\> undecology?

00:17:46 <rc_garage> try lithium grease. you do not want the stuff that are meant for metal to metal use, in your home-area
00:18:28 <rc_garage> or, vaseline, or whatever looks and tastes a bit like grease

00:37:00 <K> holla
00:37:38 <rc_garage> yes
00:49:24 <Nothing\> hrm i would have figured lithium grease was more appropriate for plastic on plastic or plastic on metal from how often i see it smeared all over such connections
00:49:46 <Nothing\> i never would have thought of that. But, I really should get a tube of lithium grease, anyways.
00:50:24 <Nothing\> I'm trying to stock up as much as possible on various lubricants and adhesives. I didn't realize that Loctite came in various "flavors" depending on what you're gluing
00:50:33 <rc_garage> you can use general purpose grease of whatever kind, but it tends to be more messy
00:51:05 <Nothing\> that's true. But, for a glider rocker I'd prefer to keep it away from shmoo
00:51:30 <rc_garage> try to find the rubberized superglue. I think it is usually black, can not remember the number.
00:51:46 <Nothing\> i really need to set aside a day to go have a proper walkthrough of the local hardware store
00:52:02 <Nothing\> rubberized, huh? interesting
00:53:17 <Nothing\> i found a real lifehack the other day that actually works where you add baking soda to cyanoacrylate glues, and it causes some chemical reaction that makes it into a super hard substance that can hold a lot more weight
00:53:35 <rc_garage> yeh, that is a thing
00:53:41 <Nothing\> that's cool
00:54:03 <Nothing\> i wonder if using sodium carbonate instead of bicarbonate would change it
00:54:12 <rc_garage> it is not a life hack, but ok, it is a thing you can do in your life
00:54:53 <Nothing\> rc_garage, i consider it a lifehack simply because i've never heard of it. But it sounds like it's a pretty well known thing among anyone who's actually worked hands on in any significant capacity
00:55:03 <Nothing\> instead of people like me who just like to watch
00:55:07 <Nothing\> ;)
00:55:57 <Nothing\> actually, I'd LOVELOVELOVE to get a wood working shop set up. But, it's not just expensive buying the tools. There's also the matter of space, which I haven't got a lot of here.
00:57:05 <rc_garage> a set of 2 or 3 hand saws, some chisels, a hand plane, and a hammer or 2 does not really take up much space
00:57:26 <Nothing\> whenever I imagine your house, I imagine you live on a large plot of land, lots of nature surrounding you, off away from any towns or anything like that. I guess like a ranch without animals. I imagine a farm or workshop building, a garage, a house, maybe a storage shed. I'm sure you get the sort of property I'm describing.
00:57:46 <Nothing\> so i always imagine you have all the space in the world to do whatever you want with.
00:57:55 <Nothing\> both inside and out
00:58:22 <rc_garage> no, I have very little space, actually. but I have neighbors that let me do whatever I want to, so that works
00:58:28 <Nothing\> rc_garage, yeah but you still need clamps and an A frame or bench or table to cut on
00:58:43 <Nothing\> ah so you live in the city?town? village? Hamlet?
00:58:46 <rc_garage> oooh, that is a massive investment
00:59:00 <rc_garage> call it a village sort of thing
00:59:05 <Nothing\> rc_garage, when you're in literal deep poverty, it actually is
00:59:26 <Nothing\> like, I get 52% of what constitutes the poverty line from disability
00:59:27 <rc_garage> then buy a plank, and make 2 saw horses
00:59:30 <Nothing\> that's it
00:59:54 <Nothing\> anything under 75% is considered deep poverty, so the fact that it's almost half that much is disgusting
01:00:05 <rc_garage> find an old door, for a bench, you can store it up against a wall, takes minimal space
01:00:30 <Nothing\> there's an idea. But that's another thing is finding wood to work with is surprisingly difficult
01:00:35 <Kuschelpony> i suggest actually two planks, you might find it helpful to have a kind of table with a slot in which you can saw while both sides of the sawed part stay suppoerted
01:00:37 <rc_garage> it is
01:00:49 <Nothing\> like, I'd kill just for a box of random bits and bobs like we had in grade 8 woodshop class
01:01:28 <rc_garage> also, finding old furniture or something, can be an option, as "lumber" these days are in general junk
01:01:33 <Nothing\> but, like i mentioned some time ago, hardware stores only seem to carry these huge sheets better suited for if you're doing renovations or building a home.
01:01:54 <Nothing\> rc_garage, all the old furniture i find is particle board or laminated crap
01:02:06 <rc_garage> then it is not old enough, lol
01:02:09 <Nothing\> which, apparently burning particle board is atrocious for your health
01:02:47 <Nothing\> yeah, you know what? I should check out the salvation army and buy a cheap chair from them or something
01:02:50 <rc_garage> nah, but it is probably not good for whoever has to stand right next to it
01:03:18 <Nothing\> frankly i'd rather use a circular or maybe bandsaw rather than a hand saw. I have a bad habit is constantly seizing hand saws
01:03:18 <rc_garage> a chair does not have much material in it. but they make good chairs
01:03:36 <Nothing\> i'm sure i'm not cutting straight but it gets stuck eveyr other stroke
01:03:58 <rc_garage> yeah, it is a mix of using a modern saw, and not knowing ho to
01:04:15 <Nothing\> still, that's nothing a 5 minute youtube video and some self discipline can't fix
01:04:21 <Nothing\> lol exactly
01:04:31 <Nothing\> nobody ever told me how to use a wood saw
01:04:45 <Nothing\> despite taking rudimentary woodshop classes in grade 8
01:04:57 <Nothing\> we just went right to the power tools
01:05:13 <rc_garage> new saws are ok for making a 2x4 shorter and such. but a nice old one, that you can sharpen, is usually much easier to use
01:05:58 <Nothing\> what term do you use to refer to larger power tools that aren't portable. like a drill press. I mean, you can say "hand held" power tools for the others, but I've never known what to call the big bastards
01:06:06 <Nothing\> bench top? lol
01:06:08 <rc_garage> well, I have to go cut some wood things. i am replacing the railing on the veranda sort of thing. which has been a project for 5 or so years
01:06:17 <Nothing\> ah right on
01:06:26 <Nothing\> godo timing, my mum just got home so i have to help with groceries
01:06:31 <Nothing\> have a good one, buddy
01:06:37 <rc_garage> have a fun

01:22:58 <rc_garage> so aggressive!
01:23:13 <Ysjoelfir> sorry. I try with a Llama next time.
01:24:15 <rc_garage> llama fresh off the grill... yessss
01:25:06 <Ysjoelfir> That could be tasty. Also, I just noticed that Factorio must be by far the cheapest game I own. 0.016 euros per hour played. Or, 60.65 hours of fun per euro.
01:27:05 <rc_garage> so, just play that for a work month, and you will be making money, by playing that?
01:27:28 <Ysjoelfir> not sure if thats how it works
01:27:59 <rc_garage> I dont know, I dont play games
01:29:59 <Nothing\> WINAMP! It really whips the llama's ass!
01:31:08 <Nothing\> i wonder in how many people that was the first real mp3 they'd ever heard
01:31:24 <rc_garage> 7
01:32:10 <Ysjoelfir> dang, I'm one of 7?
01:32:16 * Ysjoelfir feels relevant
01:32:22 <rc_garage> both of you
01:32:32 <rc_garage> so, you are 2 of 7
01:32:38 <rc_garage> at least
01:35:31 <Nothing\> borg reference?
01:35:44 <Nothing\> =P
01:36:09 <rc_garage> wat?
01:36:32 * electrohead feels rc_garage
01:36:37 <electrohead> Yup, still half human
01:36:39 <electrohead> lol
01:36:47 <rc_garage> mostly
01:36:50 <rc_garage> halfway
01:36:53 <electrohead> Oh you're doing better?
01:37:14 <rc_garage> yes, I am down to 1/3 now
01:37:18 * electrohead stabs Nothing\ with a wooden spoon, runs away giggling like the monster he is
01:41:51 * Ysjoelfir starts spooning Nothing\ as well
01:41:54 <Ysjoelfir> wait
01:41:56 <Ysjoelfir> not that spooning
01:42:04 <electrohead> lmao
01:42:14 <Ysjoelfir> I was refering to the torture method of hitting someone with a spoon for a very long time
01:45:45 <electrohead> :p
01:59:51 <Nothing\> i'd rather be spooned than be knifed
02:00:09 <Nothing\> and definitely rather be spooned than being forked
02:00:50 * Ysjoelfir does some Github thigns and forks Nothing\
02:19:10 <K> top half or bottom?
