00:06:59 <arch> hmm... i wonder if i would die or suffer severe organ damage if i ate a whole jar of nutella
00:07:43 <arch> i know people can die from eating a hecka lotta salt, but what about sugar
00:12:06 <arch> ok so apparently, sugar isn't gonna kill me, but would be very unhealthy if i ate a jar of nutella often
00:13:05 * arch stuffs a jar of nutella up electrohead's bum
00:18:38 * electrohead runs
01:33:16 <MrMobodies> See how much they drink down the local pub
01:33:27 <MrMobodies> 10 - 12 pints
01:34:04 <MrMobodies> sometimes double when they out go for the day to other pubs during a day and return to this one.
01:34:18 <MrMobodies> they try to make it in the next day but end up feeling sick and going home
01:35:32 <MrMobodies> and they'd do stange things like stand on a table where they'd take off their tops and wriggle their chest around. I have a got video of that somewhere.
01:35:47 <MrMobodies> 22 pints that one had
01:37:44 <MrMobodies> Don't suppose anything here can stand 20 pints? What I find fascinating apart from a few, they leave quite soberly like they had nothing.
01:38:05 <MrMobodies> Where I only get drunk on a little more than a pint.
01:38:18 <MrMobodies> well I just feel the effects
01:45:15 <rc_garage> people have different taste, I guess, I usually eat nutella with a spoon
01:50:21 <electrohead> I prefer a fork, for added pain

02:07:47 <rc_garage> well, that is fine, I am more worried about arch trying to get it out of your ass
02:08:08 <electrohead> please no
02:08:13 <electrohead> lol
02:08:45 <rc_garage> I will tell him you prefer if he uses a fork, heh
02:08:56 * electrohead runs once again
02:49:33 <rc_garage> I hope you have crocs on
02:52:47 <K> now what is going on here
02:53:03 * electrohead hides the details, escapes
03:04:14 <rc_garage> there are no details here
03:28:52 <arch> there are no freaky nerds in ba sing se
03:30:36 <rc_garage> mjæ mjæ mjæ
03:55:13 * electrohead is æ'd
03:59:47 <rc_garage> æææææhæhæhæhæ
04:00:04 <rc_garage> how is tinylathe doing?
04:02:32 * arch hands rc_garage a ÅØÁöÜÊßò„Å∏
04:02:46 <rc_garage> å
04:03:35 <arch> \ö/
04:03:52 <arch> electrohead, your bot doesn't appear to support panicking stickmen
04:04:19 <rc_garage> awesome, so he did something right
04:06:34 <MrMobodies> Hello
04:06:56 <MrMobodies> Powercut in the village and broadband down for quite a few people after
04:07:10 <MrMobodies> I asked if it had anything to do with CityFibre and FTTC and yes
04:07:41 <MrMobodies> So they installed modern telecom infrastructure that is suppose to be more stable but with no backup power systems
04:07:59 <MrMobodies> that even mine continues to work on UPS as it had done for many years
04:08:55 <MrMobodies> I was almost about to switch that but won't now. I thought operators were OBLIGED to provide redundancy for their telecoms systems.

04:09:34 <MrMobodies> Steve30, you on FTTP?
04:10:50 <MrMobodies> I thought it was a requirement for emergency services.
04:29:07 <steve30> nope, i'm on cellular
04:46:28 <electrohead> arch: yes, because with panic comes calm, and this shall follow immediately after
04:46:43 * electrohead bows, floats away on his ÅØÁöÜÊßò„Å∏
04:46:56 <electrohead> don't ask lol
04:47:17 <electrohead> rc_garage: minilathe is still mini! my HSS insert showed up yesterday, so yay for that
04:47:47 <electrohead> still need to sharpen all of the HSS cutting tools, as I need to drag the grinder out and that's not properly mounted or anything
05:28:40 <rc_garage> hss insert, eh?
05:29:28 <rc_garage> but, on those little powerless machines, hss can be your friend. just so you know
05:34:24 <K> YOU HAVE NO POWER HERE!
05:35:38 <K> (sound of mill going brrrrr at two fucking inches deep full cut in stainless steel at 300 feet per minute)
05:42:02 <electrohead> rofl
05:42:16 <K> how much is 300 feet per minute?
05:42:33 <rc_garage> eh, 96m or so
05:42:53 <K> google says 1542mm/s
05:43:07 <rc_garage> there you go
05:43:23 <K> that is quite fast.
05:43:26 <rc_garage> my google says 92.44m
05:43:36 <rc_garage> 91.44
05:43:36 <electrohead> technically this depends on diameter
05:43:47 <rc_garage> technically, no
05:43:55 <rc_garage> it is a surface speed
05:44:12 <electrohead> oh?
05:44:19 <rc_garage> well, isnt it?
05:44:25 <electrohead> lol
05:45:54 <rc_garage> feel free to technical me again
05:46:07 * electrohead technicals rust_collector
05:46:23 <rc_garage> AAACH! mein lebenz!
05:46:32 <electrohead> I serious thought diameter is always a part of the speed equations, though?
05:46:56 <rc_garage> not if diameter is infinite, as in a flat piece
05:47:57 * electrohead flattens out rc_garage
05:48:12 <electrohead> now you get to live forever
05:48:14 <electrohead> lol
05:48:28 <rc_garage> fffffff.....
05:49:02 <rc_garage> ok, then I will have time to mount my tiny vice on the bench
05:49:59 <rc_garage> i really should make a bench/stand thing for the lathe. I really want my bench back
05:50:40 <electrohead> also I realize perhaps I was thinking of, 'how much is 300 feet per minute?' in RPM or etc, where diameter is used to determine said things
05:50:49 <rc_garage> (but I think you are thinking of cutting speed, at the tip of your tool
05:51:00 <electrohead> ahh yeah
05:51:01 <rc_garage> or that
05:51:06 <electrohead> combination of, then
05:51:08 <electrohead> lol
05:52:20 <rc_garage> Forever young, I want to be forever young
05:52:20 <rc_garage> Do you really want to live forever?
05:52:20 <rc_garage> Forever, and ever
05:52:32 <rc_garage> arrrgh, sounds a bit terrible
05:52:40 <electrohead> it's worse when you read it
05:52:42 <electrohead> lol
05:52:58 <rc_garage> yeh.
05:53:07 * electrohead reads into rc_garage
05:53:23 * rc_garage syntax error
05:53:36 <rc_garage> OI!
05:54:28 <electrohead> serious: the lathe adventures are fun as hell. have a full understanding of everything, however I keep forgetting what is what, especially with the math involved (when it's truly involved). is just an over time sort of thing, I'm still getting used to so much
05:54:58 <rc_garage> yep
05:56:08 <electrohead> already looking into modifying this to give me higher speeds, including a full motor replacement if I can find something for a good enough price? not sure if I'll take it that far though, by that point it's more of "just get a bigger lathe"
05:56:29 <electrohead> which, I really don't have space nor the proper things for that
05:56:44 <rc_garage> well, it is hard to go wrong with a bigger lathe, if you have space, and a good floor
05:57:01 <rc_garage> but, yours does not have gears, right?
05:59:06 <electrohead> only for the lead screw, which I removed because a bolt snapped lol
05:59:27 <electrohead> I'm upgrading to electronic though eventually, already have half the parts needed
05:59:54 <rc_garage> I am thinking about a larger motor also, but... I am not feeling very confident in the gearbox. but a... for your size, a bit bigger, with a vfd... should help several things. and you might be able to program it to increase the rpm, as you get closer to the centre of things
06:01:18 <rc_garage> small 3 phase motors are not really cheap.....
06:01:36 <rc_garage> but.
06:01:56 <rc_garage> it is a hobby, it is supposed to be expensive
06:26:22 <electrohead> lol
06:26:24 <electrohead> true true
06:26:45 <electrohead> once I get a house, if?? I do?, then I'll get a more proper lathe
06:27:50 <rc_garage> if it does what you want, it is fine. yes, it has limits. but large old chunks of metal, also come with downsides
07:41:33 <electrohead> and heavy sides, at that lol

09:26:44 <MrMobodies> I have one upstairs I have used every night for 3 years
09:26:57 <MrMobodies> now it makes this noise when the back gets hot
10:47:33 <MrMobodies> I feel so humiliated, offering strangers money to help me do stuff.
10:47:42 <MrMobodies> the problem is I can't stand this

10:48:41 <MrMobodies> Light, dark, light, dark, light dark on a lot of things I open with dialoges and I don't remember this happening with OpenWRT about 10 years ago.
10:49:29 <MrMobodies> I tried with the stylish script altering it and whilst it does work it doesn't work for that via the selector script
10:50:42 <arch> some imbecile ran a rod of rebar as the "ground rod" for my garage
10:51:02 <arch> the rust on that iron is making that ground rod as good as useless
11:13:51 <MrMobodies> Arch, was that the previous occputants who did that?
