10:07:56 <Nothing\> neat, i just realized Google doesn't know where I live or what my real name is
10:09:05 <Nothing\> creepy when I looked into ChatGPT's personalized "memory" half of the memories it remembered about me had to do with my health issues for some reason
10:09:44 <Nothing\> even things that i just asked about out of curiosity and it assumed that meant i must have it and am looking it up for my own health
10:10:19 * Nothing\ sighs
10:10:32 <Nothing\> we had such high hopes for the future and what technology would do for us
10:11:05 <Nothing\> we never imagined that butler-bot would be used to enforce a dystopian culture
10:11:21 <Nothing\> it's not like the things literally have russian names or anything
10:11:38 <Nothing\> slavic, russian, same difference

10:18:57 <Nothing\> wtf is a schuman wave generator
10:19:37 <Nothing\> and how is it meant to generate frequencies between 0.01hz and 100,000hz with a little inductive coil about 5cm across
10:19:55 <Nothing\> what's the wavelength of 0.01hz?...
10:20:21 <Nothing\> 30 million kilometers ROFLMAO
10:20:50 <Nothing\> and that's gonna come out of a tiny little coil that fits in the palm of my hand
10:21:29 <Nothing\> i don't even think the military has antennas that can produce such low frequencies
10:23:33 <Nothing\> just when you think you've seen it all
10:24:41 <Nothing\> lol or i could get a monocular telescope with 2000x25 magnification
10:25:03 <Nothing\> bored lol
10:26:43 <Nothing\> what the hell is a "vehicle blind spot auxilliary measurement radar module"
10:27:15 <Nothing\> it looks like one of those soil moisture sensors you see on elegoo
10:51:11 <Halcyon> Morning biscuits
11:53:55 <Nothing\> omfg
11:54:13 <Nothing\> the temperature with humidity is supposed to be over 40 for the next week
11:54:22 <Nothing\> over 45 for more than half of it
11:54:44 <Nothing\> wednesday's supposed to be friggin 46. I've never seen it higher than maybe 40 or 41
11:55:07 <Nothing\> and they've got the same situation in eu, too from what i hear.
11:56:13 <Nothing\> all from this super el nińo that's only just begun
11:56:51 <Nothing\> something tells me many records will be broken this year
11:57:03 <Nothing\> also something tells me i need to vape
12:01:35 <flyback> BMCC
12:01:41 * flyback kicks Nothing\
12:02:54 <Nothing\> that's ablist... or is it disablist if you're doing something bad to disabled people.
12:03:08 <Nothing\> i feel like the terminology there might be backwards
12:03:47 <Nothing\> apparenty they mean the same thing, somehow
12:04:00 <Nothing\> Ableism is discrimination, social prejudice, or systemic bias against people with physical, intellectual, or psychiatric disabilities.
12:04:12 <Nothing\> Disablist (or disablism) refers to discrimination, prejudice, or abusive behavior directed at disabled people, based on the belief that they are inferior.
12:04:16 * Nothing\ shrugs
12:04:16 <EEVBot> ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
12:09:02 <flyback> looks like my hacked together drip tray is working for now
12:09:21 <flyback> I might turn off the power and turn off the water to my water heater before work every day for safety
12:09:37 <flyback> tank will need replaced it's from 1999 or 2008 so it's old and due
12:33:27 <Nothing\> heh flyback i heard this heatwave in europe is so bad that the MRI machines in hospitals aren't able to be cooled properly.
12:34:07 <Nothing\> funny how they didn't mention datacenters or server farms
12:37:00 <flyback> wow
12:39:17 <Halcyon> I'll take some of your heat Nothing\
12:39:34 <Halcyon> It's been bloody freezing here lately. Have had the gas heating running most days
12:41:55 <DogWomble> can't be as bad as canberra, i woke up this morning being frozen solid
12:43:18 <Halcyon> Today is colder than the past week
12:43:34 <Halcyon> Top of 12 today
12:43:35 <Halcyon> Gross
12:53:51 <Nothing\> Halcyon, lol i saw a story in the news today about a guy who was trying to fly to Sydney from Texas. On a $700 ticket. For like, a 4 hour flight to Sidney, Montana. despite never flying over any water. He said he didn't realize there was a problem until he saw snowy mountains. LOL. Most oblivious guy ever.
12:54:11 <Nothing\> and apparently he was the second person to have done that
12:54:36 <Nothing\> it boggles the mind
12:54:51 <Halcyon> Heh. To be fair, we do have snow here, but yeah he would have had to fly over the ocean to get here.
12:54:52 <DogWomble> yeah i saw that story a week or two back
12:59:54 <MrMobodies> Hello
13:00:59 <MrMobodies> Fell asleep in my chair due to the heat but woke up to a nice cool temperature of 15c instead of about 28C
13:01:30 <MrMobodies> a big argument between the barman and the landlady today
13:02:26 <MrMobodies> she was displeased and pretty angry angry last night about the choice of music being requested by the birthday lot
13:04:30 <MrMobodies> despite once video of it getting over 5000 views she said "I DON'T CARE! I am NOT having this in MY PUB... This is suppose to be village pub, a VILLAGE PUB! not a nightclub and will not have this ruin the image"
13:05:47 <MrMobodies> barman said that it brings in the money "I don't care" if they want a nightclub they can go to Peterborough
13:06:25 <MrMobodies> can't please everyone it seems
13:08:12 <MrMobodies> I see that video has now got 6200 views, compared to 3400 for the news years eve.
13:09:05 <Halcyon> Sounds like the land owner needs to butt out
13:09:13 <Halcyon> Just because she doesn't like the music
13:09:19 <MrMobodies> Football was suppose to be shown on the TV but they didn't bother this time
13:09:34 <MrMobodies> oh yes before she went upstairs and banged the ceiling
13:09:48 <MrMobodies> she was looking at the song request slips telling me not to play this and play that
13:10:55 <Halcyon> Does she own the pub?
13:11:06 <MrMobodies> I said fine, but you got to tick "declined" on the slip to write down the reason why and sign on the slip so I can give it back to them... then they can go and argue and
13:11:27 <MrMobodies> and she said "don't bother" and went upstairs"
13:11:34 <MrMobodies> yes she does
13:11:50 <Halcyon> Makes it a bit hard when she owns the joint. Can't really tell her to get fucked
13:12:17 <MrMobodies> she ownes a caravan, so Wayne will encourage her to there next time so they can enjoy more nights like that
13:12:23 <MrMobodies> Wayne the barman I mean
13:13:06 <Halcyon> If she wasn't the owner, I'd be saying "You seem argumentative and irrational, perhaps it's time you leave" and boot her out under RSA laws. Hahah
13:13:50 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/bwWcZyh1/Song-Request-Slip.jpg
13:14:20 <MrMobodies> When she saw that she didn't bother
13:14:46 <MrMobodies> you see when they find out why their song is rejected and her signature they'd go to her
13:15:03 <MrMobodies> and leave me alone instead of bothering me
13:15:18 <Halcyon> I suppose she didn't want to write "being a bitch" as a reason
13:15:26 <MrMobodies> they want it cancelled for petty reasons they'd have to answer
13:15:36 <MrMobodies> no
13:15:45 <MrMobodies> I bet she'd knew she be all embarassed

13:16:31 <MrMobodies> She's sitting on a goldmine and don't know it
13:17:40 <MrMobodies> the barman was being indudiated with messages when he got home from folks in Whittlesey wanting to start one next week and bring like 100 people and of course that'd be what they have on New Years
13:20:22 <MrMobodies> we had one of the radio presenters too sing at the end, the barman allowed to do it, Anne heared her upstairs, she came in later today and Anne had a go at her today for it
13:20:59 <MrMobodies> "It's not a blooming karaoke"
13:21:19 <MrMobodies> on the contrary other argued she did really well
13:21:28 <Halcyon> She just sounds like a Karen
13:21:35 <MrMobodies> to celebrate the birthday man
13:21:42 <Nothing\> sigh i have an appoinment at the fracture clinic tomorrow and it's always like a 4 hour wait to see the doctor for 5 minutes.
13:22:04 <Nothing\> and for some reason they want you to get your x-rays BEFORE you register, so you can't just go take care of that while you wait
13:22:12 <MrMobodies> 2200 views that one where she did the singing and two tunes

13:22:35 <MrMobodies> oh I thought it says 2.2k
13:22:43 <Nothing\> on the bright side, my collarbone's healing wonderfully
13:22:44 <MrMobodies> ooh Nothing any improvement
13:22:52 <MrMobodies> to your arm injury
13:22:59 <MrMobodies> oh good
13:23:13 <MrMobodies> any more resistance from the health service?
13:23:15 <Nothing\> i can go short periods without my sling, it's doing much better
13:23:31 <Nothing\> although it's still bruised like... what 6 weeks later?
13:24:06 <Nothing\> nah OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan) is really great about covering things
13:24:32 <Nothing\> and my supplmental insurance through the government is just as good
13:25:50 <Nothing\> i do have nerve damage which they said was a "possibility" but reading up on it, it's pretty much a given with how long and deep they're cutting
13:26:07 <MrMobodies> oh that's good
13:26:07 <Nothing\> everything below the incision is completely numb it feels so weird
13:27:02 <MrMobodies> Wonder whether it's go back to normally
13:27:22 <Nothing\> lucky me, a normal plate for a collar bone needs like a 2 or 3in incision, but because I Needed a hook plate put across my whole collar bone and being hooked into my shoulder joint, they had to make a huge incision to fit it all in
13:28:12 <Nothing\> MrMobodies, i don't expect it to because nerves don't typically heal. But, I've had nerve injuries before where I've said the same thing and it wound up recovering fully. But, never to this extent
13:28:23 <MrMobodies> oh that's a shame
13:28:26 <Nothing\> it's like 2 hands being clasped on my shoulder in terms of the extent of the numbness
13:28:40 <MrMobodies> is that plate their temporary or permanently?
13:29:04 <Nothing\> it's temporary because it goes into the shoulder joint, hence the second surgery.
13:29:37 <MrMobodies> oh Halycon, the landlady was also very angry with this one because the lads had to their shirt off due to the heatwave as the windows had to shut at that time to contain the noise.
13:29:41 <MrMobodies> https://www.facebook.com/100063643150499/videos/2071356300433034
13:29:42 <EEVBot> [url] The Top House at Coates on Reels | www.facebook.com
13:29:56 <Nothing\> otherwise, i can't even lift my arm above my head because the "hook" catches on the top of my shoulder joint. The acromion. Which is the part of your shoulder blade your collarbone connects to
13:30:18 <MrMobodies> oh good, permanently is not great for anything not natural
13:30:46 <MrMobodies> but what a strange tune to me, sounds like all machinary, like a grinding motor.
13:32:09 <Nothing\> yeah i took the bandage off, finally, too. https://i.ibb.co/qM6KXQxS/20260623-132102-1.jpg
13:32:10 <MrMobodies> "How DARE they take off their shirts in my pub, this isn't a strip club!".
13:32:19 <Nothing\> looks like it healed beautifully
13:32:36 <MrMobodies> oooh
13:32:50 <Nothing\> except they put the staples so close together it looks more like i was maimed by a cat
13:32:52 <MrMobodies> looks like they stitched it up nice and neat
13:33:16 <MrMobodies> aah I don't see the staples
13:33:18 <Nothing\> yeah, considering the staples looked like a mess, it really turned out good
13:33:27 <Nothing\> nah not in this one, they're long gone
13:33:36 <MrMobodies> most be torture for you with all that
13:34:46 <Nothing\> https://i.ibb.co/G49hjg2d/20260601-111909-1-1.jpg
13:34:51 <Nothing\> there's where the staples were in
13:35:28 <Nothing\> heh, it's been an interesting experience. Some unpleasant, some just genuinely interesting. But, thankfully not painful very much at all
13:37:21 <Nothing\> more creepy than anything, because I can feel the plate in there constantly. My brain was freaking out for the first 2 weeks, I was eating anxiety meds like candies trying not to pass out from being creeped out so bad. Like when I watched my exwife give birth and realized childbirth is a lot more gruesome than anyone says.
13:37:54 <Nothing\> like a vasovagal reaction or something
13:38:06 <MrMobodies> Me, I would not find that an interesting exprience. I'd be paranoid.
13:38:21 <MrMobodies> if I can feel things that were not there before
13:40:52 <MrMobodies> Oh wow, one of the thumbs up commenters of that 5000 now 6200 video
13:41:38 <MrMobodies> Matty Cyclon Greenwood "DJ CYCLON, Owner/Manager Of Spirit FM Online"
13:42:27 <MrMobodies> I'd say that landlady is not recognizing the rare opportunity that event brought in and has no case.
13:45:01 <MrMobodies> never heard of Spirit FM before
14:14:22 <MrMobodies> Just found out what Karens means. Now in her 60's She use to be a singer herself and went on bands with that barman and his dad in the 1990's
14:14:35 <MrMobodies> I am not sure why she is behaving like a Karen
14:14:48 <MrMobodies> when she was in the business herself at one point
14:16:09 <MrMobodies> "demanding behavior, a lack of *empathy for others, and externalized anger when her expectations are not met" *That seems selective and most of the time she doesn't seem to understand, sometimes she does and takes it back.
14:16:46 <MrMobodies> like today she was not pleased about the broadband, "you have all this equipment here, why is the broadband not good I pay 85 QUID! a month"
14:17:16 <MrMobodies> "can't we one one LITTLE box like everyone else"
14:19:07 <MrMobodies> I said "when it was upstairs before 2023, the wireless signal didn't go far but the signal was in the places needed in front of the interference from the basement and all that switchgear, not behind it and a few brick walls.
14:20:07 <MrMobodies> "You're telling me it was better when it was upstairs", Yes, well I am not having that upstairs again, not having the mess there."
14:21:54 <MrMobodies> "I thought you put them in the best places", I said "in the best places I could get it and where you allow me to", I can put them in the places I think are best if and when you allow me to and I'd even go out of my way to hide and camoflage the cables."
14:22:55 <MrMobodies> Apparently she has condition, OCD is it
14:24:13 <MrMobodies> A wall hook that holds the door open with a chain kept on coming out of the wall, I put a block of pine wood there, screwed it in with a larger screw and a proper large hook latch thing and she didn't like it
14:24:58 <MrMobodies> it was the colour of the wood, where that was yellow/pine and the wall was blue so I painted it blue and she seemed satisfied
14:26:20 <MrMobodies> I don't think she's happy being a landlady anymore, she says is old and needs more time which is why they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays
14:27:27 <MrMobodies> she is also struggling too financially, like she never had a proper kitchen since she moved there in 2013, it was only last year Gary a local plumber installed her one in disused bedroom
14:28:12 <MrMobodies> she had a say too, they all give me a chance to do things and experiment so I don't want to be in bad terms with any of them.
14:29:07 <MrMobodies> The barman's dad can also get displeased too, if the singers they get in don't sing well and if they don't live up to their contracted hours.

16:50:55 <MrMobodies> Disgusted, as soon as hear that so and so of a charity is gettong £100k wage, then I see the volunteers get treated like sh*t, then they start selling faulty things on Ebay or not delivering at all refusing to issue refunds.

16:51:44 <MrMobodies> The CEO left early this year and I wonder if that's when they effective asset stripped everything including it's bank and practices
16:53:53 <MrMobodies> After working at Mencap and I see this sort of behavior happening, treating their volunteers like that and even to their own loyal staff. Refuse to do anything for them.
16:54:56 <MrMobodies> If they come to my door asking for donations, I'd say "tell your boss to F off but I do feel sorry that you work for such horrible people."
16:55:54 <MrMobodies> That CEO according to his Linked is more of a corporate business man which seems very little work or interest in charities so I wonder how get got in
16:57:26 <MrMobodies> Do you thnk should they ban bosses or CEO's (especially with little interest or experience in charities) from getting in these places and demanding 6 figure salaries?
16:58:07 <MrMobodies> The charities I knew about 20 years ago I don't remember them being like that.
16:58:41 <MrMobodies> and I remember Oxfam was the first to start that nonsense
17:51:04 <MrMobodies> I think this sums it up

19:35:05 <Nothing\> HAPPY DAY @# U!!!!
19:35:36 <Nothing\> man, nintendo almost got me to drop $800 on a switch 2 with this new starfox game
19:36:06 <Nothing\> despite being literally severely impoverished, i managed to save up a decent amount of money
19:36:41 <Nothing\> i just hate that i feel the need to spend it as if there's some magical item i can buy that will make me happy through its novelty
19:37:12 <Nothing\> and there are such items, i've bought games that have given me over 500 hours of unfettered pleasure and enjoyment. They're just few and far between.
19:37:29 <Nothing\> !seen ampera
19:37:30 <EEVBot> [seen] I last saw ampera in here 23 days, 22 hours ago, saying: cya
19:37:36 <Nothing\> huh
19:37:46 <Nothing\> i thought it'd been a while since i saw her
19:38:14 <Nothing\> hope she's doing okay. Back where I come from, if you didn't show up for a week, they assumed you you were dead. Literally.
19:38:54 <Nothing\> trying to tell myself this place isn't like that. I've had far too many friends die on me these last 2.5 decades
19:39:22 <Nothing\> you just sort of expect it when you notice the patterns
19:46:42 <Nothing\> sweet
19:46:53 <Nothing\> i just ripped out this damn tooth that's been bugging me
19:47:06 <Nothing\> or part of a tooth, anyway
19:47:52 <Nothing\> it was just the side edge of one tooth with nothing else left of it and it broken off under the gumline, so it was still held fast in the socket even though it wasn't attached to any tooth
19:48:18 <Nothing\> i just worked it like a 6 year old on a loose tooth and out it came
19:48:29 <Nothing\> not sure the toothfairy takes restorations, though
19:49:28 <Nothing\> funny enough i also broke a completely different tooth last night as well
19:49:31 <Nothing\> haha
19:49:48 * Nothing\ sighs
19:50:08 <Nothing\> definitely gonna need partial dentures now
19:51:15 <Nothing\> got like... 8 teeth left that aren't broken AF and no amount of drugs is getting me over my dental phobia
19:51:40 <Nothing\> except maybe ketamine but i don't feel like peeing blood just so i can get my teeth fixed
19:52:29 <Nothing\> the had a big fuck-off needle with an electric probe stuck in my neck while i was on ketamine when they prepped me for me surgery
19:52:57 <Nothing\> they anesthetized a group of nerves coming off of my spinal cord for 3 days
19:53:47 <Nothing\> but with the ketamine, i didn't even care about the big needle in my neck. It was a million miles away from where i was
19:54:11 <Nothing\> it was remarkably effective for taking me out of the situation while leaving me conscious
19:54:36 <Nothing\> and yeah i know i'm talking to myself
19:54:48 <Nothing\> i'm bored and can't get into this ben eater video
19:55:25 <Nothing\> i wanna start designing parts of a computer again and maybe throw together a janky chip level cpu or something

20:47:25 <Nothing> weird, my power flickered
20:47:46 <Nothing> a bit early for the grid to be crapping out already
22:51:23 <Nothing> ugh i've gotta go to the fracture clinic in half an hour
22:51:51 <Nothing> i don't mind the appointment so much as i mind the agoraphobia combined with a 3-4 hour wait
22:51:59 <Nothing> i guess fractures are popular
22:53:09 <steve30> When I went to the fracture clinic, someone came out and shouted "Mr Ali's clinic is running half an hour late!"
22:53:26 <steve30> damn, I thought. Then 10 minutes later... "Mr steve30 Please."
22:53:32 <Nothing> heh i found out the type of hook plate they used in my collarbone is only used in 1% of these specific types of fractures, which constitute 15% of all clavicular fractures. So, I dunno what the odds of that are but they've gotta be pretty slim
22:53:40 <Nothing> ah heya steve-o how goes?
22:53:52 <steve30> Yay, I thought, but they were just moving me to another waiting area :(.
22:54:13 <Nothing> yeah what's up with that lol
22:54:20 <Nothing> having like 3 different waiting rooms
22:54:20 <steve30> "Mr Ali's clinic is running 45 minutes late!".
22:54:55 <Nothing> they had a tv playing reruns of MASH in the one, but they stuck me in an obvious overflow room
22:54:55 <steve30> "Mr steve30 Please!" Yipee! "Just take a seat in this third waiting area" >:o
22:55:07 <Nothing> steve30, what are wait times like with the NHS?
22:55:10 <steve30> "Mr Ali's clinic is running an hour late!"
22:55:23 <steve30> I got seen eventually
22:55:28 <Nothing> especially regarding A&E waits, or waiting on elective surgeries
22:55:58 <Nothing> i'm curious how it stacks up against canada's provincial socialized healthcare, rather than nationalized
22:56:11 <steve30> Well, my Grandfather had to wait 6 months for an "urgent" hip replacement. But that was pre-pandemic.
22:56:46 <steve30> Sheffield's ADHD waiting list is about 2000 years long atm.
22:56:51 <Nothing> there was one time about 25 years ago when it wasnt' uncommon to end up waiting literally 18+ hours to see a doctor
22:57:35 <steve30> For A&E they usually have targets to see you within 4 hours but it can take pretty much any amount of time. If they're busy, I would expect to be there all day.
