03:40:06 * steve30 wonders whether to go to the supermarket
04:10:42 <steve30> why is it so hard to find bike parts?
04:11:22 <Kuschelpony> uh, no idea
04:11:56 <steve30> they can be a pain because you can get so many different variations of the same type of item
04:13:17 <Kuschelpony> i should not start one more project, i should not start one more project, i should not start one more project
04:17:58 * steve30 suggests starting a new project :p
04:19:37 <Kuschelpony> im already searching for a hairdryer that has screws for disassembly and modification

05:21:59 <rust_collector> oh, you said hand. nevermind
05:33:17 <K> rrrrrrainnnn
05:33:22 <K> can fuck right off.
05:33:41 <K> Kuschelpony, what do you want to dry?
05:34:03 <Kuschelpony> K my hairs, but modified to run with 12v 100w
05:34:05 <rust_collector> nothing much, just the world
05:35:53 <K> ah
05:37:17 <rust_collector> 100w... I dont think I have ever thought about how much power a hairdrier uses. I thought it was more?
05:39:07 <K> hm
05:39:20 <K> come to think of it, the heater usually is 1kw ?
05:42:56 <Kuschelpony> rustcollector usually beyond 1000w, but this one is limited by a mobile solar system
05:43:22 Quit: xstevia ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 2 minutes
05:43:38 <rust_collector> ok. But, I guess almost 100w would make some heat, so...
05:45:01 <K> Kuschelpony is in no hurry
05:46:05 <Kuschelpony> i expect still warm air withsomewhere 40°C to 50, also running the fan part somewhat slower

16:56:52 <Halcyon> Afternoon all
16:58:22 <steve30> hi
16:58:29 <Halcyon> Hey Steve
16:58:39 <Halcyon> How's it going over there?
16:58:53 <steve30> hot
16:59:11 <Halcyon> Gimmie!
16:59:17 <Halcyon> I'm so sick of the cold
16:59:43 * steve30 routes the AC pipes towards Halcyon
17:00:21 <Halcyon> BRB, need to go make some shortcrust pastry dough for later tonight
17:13:44 * steve30 curls up on Halcyon's keyboard
17:41:33 <Halcyon> MrMobodies: I thought of you where i saw this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jha8oOMeOFU
17:41:34 <EEVBot> Temporary error talking to YouTube: [SYS] unknown error (_ssl.c:2638)
17:41:50 <Halcyon> *when
17:55:25 * steve30 contemplates buying a cheap chinese bike part
18:16:52 <Halcyon> What for?
18:20:54 <steve30> to replace a knackered part
18:25:14 <Halcyon> I have a general rule when it comes to safety: Don't buy cheap Chinese. Always get a reputable part. But then again, I don't own a bike. For my car, anything that touches the road or has to do with the drivetrain or stopping (brakes) always comes from OEM parts or the next best thing.
18:25:22 <Halcyon> I don't skimp on tyres.
18:25:39 <Halcyon> Ask DogWomble, he bikes a lot
18:26:07 <steve30> That's normally my policy, but there are actually some good chinesium parts around nowadays
18:26:16 <steve30> (especially if you need something a bit more obscure)
18:27:58 * steve30 also needs new tyres
18:42:47 <steve30> "It is protable and durable."
21:12:34 Join: Nothing\ ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
21:13:00 <Nothing\> oh what i would give to be rid of this accursed piece of metal forever jammed into my shoulder
21:13:34 <Nothing\> mostly i'd just love to be able to sleep on my favourite side again but that ain't happening until the holidays from the looks of things
21:14:09 <Nothing\> i suspect my second surgery will be scheduled when i see my doctor next time. Which kind of scares and tantalizes me at the same time.
21:15:10 <Nothing\> funnily enough, one of my fears is having to wear that damned hospital underwear that i swear was a kid's size. I'm barely 165cm and my ass literally hung halfway out of them.
21:15:33 <Nothing\> it was literally like trying to wear a pair of briefs made for a child
21:15:47 <Nothing\> i have no idea what the point of that was. frankly i think they were just having a laugh. =P
21:16:26 <Nothing\> nothing like wearing underwear somebody probably died in. But I already had to come to terms with that in prison. Frankly, I'm not sure which institute has the worst underwear.
21:17:38 <Nothing\> prison it's a crapshoot whether you get the right size. There's just a big industrial laundry bin with every size in it and you grab what you grab. If it's too small, go back and hope there are bigger ones. If it's too big, rip out the waistband and tie it around your waist like a belt. So, most of them had the waistband ripped out but still attached
21:17:52 <Nothing\> on the bright side i guess there's slightly less chance somebody died in those
21:18:12 <Nothing\> and man those jumpsuits are so comfy
21:18:51 <Nothing\> except they didn't like us using the front pocket for some reason. I mean, if you don't want us to use it, don't give us jumpsuits with pockets?
21:19:29 <Nothing\> i always kept some TP in mine because my nose runs a lot and they would constantly ask me what the little bulge was just to find a snotty tissue
21:20:34 <Nothing\> the random mass strip searches were fun, too. Line us all up in a row, strip us to our boxers, turn everything searching for contradand. Lol, so many funny busts.
21:21:09 <Nothing\> like the guy who tried to non-chalantly kick his rolled up sock with weed in it across the floor so they wouldn't know it was his. Even though he was the only one with one sock.
21:22:09 <steve30> I suppose one of the advantages of not going to prison is that you get to wear your own clothes :)
21:22:25 <Nothing\> steve30, biggest advantage to me honestly was being able to use pillows
21:22:39 <Nothing\> i was only in on weekends but man i appreciated my bed so much more
21:23:04 <steve30> I just bought a cheap chinese chainring from QUANZHOU CITY WUWOHEDAO E COMMERCE CO LTD on ebay
21:23:15 <Nothing\> we'd usually just take off the t-shirt under our jumpsuit and use that. Even though we weren't supposed to, but what are you gonna do?
21:23:53 <Nothing\> lol the foam mattresses had a little sort of "pillow" built into them where maybe a 30cm section slanted upwards like 15 degrees lol but that did nothing
21:24:27 <Nothing\> steve30, nice. I love getting chinese jewelery for my mum
21:24:47 <Nothing\> she's a big snoopy fan so i'm always keeping an eye out
21:25:15 <steve30> https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/153219632231
21:25:16 <EEVBot> [url] Error Page | eBay | www.ebay.co.uk
21:25:21 <steve30> I got a red one because why not :)
21:25:54 <Nothing\> actually the red one caught my eye in particular
21:26:08 <Nothing\> usually i go for black things, black shirts, black ecig, whatever
21:26:09 <steve30> It will match my black and grey bike nicely :)
21:26:20 <Nothing\> yeah i could see that working
21:26:35 <Nothing\> speaking of bikes, i read an article about how illegal lime bike users are running amok in London
21:27:08 <Nothing\> one story in particular about a woman who was struck by a 10 year old who fled with his mother before anyone could catch them or identify them
21:27:35 <Nothing\> she had a broken femur, which alone requires a massive amount of force to break, a broken collarbone and two broken vertebrae
21:28:00 <Nothing\> and of course in the video, somebody has her head in their lap with her sitting halfway up, so knowing the state of her spine it makes you cringe
21:28:23 <Nothing\> but, because they didn't have a name, Lime's insurance wouldn't pay out any sort of settlement
21:29:33 <Nothing\> then at some townhall meeting or some such some Lime representatives showed up one day to do some feedback thing about safety. Most of it was old people complaining about kids on sidewalks. Then she talked and the whole room gasped. The one Lime executive personally told her they were gonna make things right.
21:29:41 <Nothing\> and that was the last she heard from Lime about it
21:29:50 <Nothing\> they ghosted her completely
21:30:09 <Nothing\> dude was clearly pandering to the crowd
21:30:48 <Nothing\> you wouldn't think getting hit by a bike would be so devastating, but i guess those things are pretty damn heavy. There were some stories of people getting injured just having the thing fall on them
21:31:48 <Nothing\> in a way i'm glad we don't have to contend with that as much here, but on the other hand as a shut-in, having access to an electric bike would make my world a LOT bigger.
21:32:27 <Nothing\> ooh here you go steve30 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266770667294?_trksid=p2332490.c101224.m-1
21:32:27 <EEVBot> [url] Error Page | eBay | www.ebay.co.uk
21:32:38 <Nothing\> you could get a nice fuscia colored one
21:36:32 <steve30> hehe
21:44:26 <Nothing\> it's gonna be weird to get this plate out. I've actually somehow gotten used to a metal hook constantly pulling up on my shoulder joint like a lever to keep my collarbone from popping up
21:45:11 <Nothing\> it's a crazy feeling. I didn't realize the bit your collarbone attaches to, the acromion, is actually part of your shoulderblade. So, I was feeling it all the way into my back when they first put it in.
21:46:23 <Nothing\> the surgeon told me i "crushed" my collarbone. Which probably explains why i could never find the other piece of it in x-rays
21:46:53 <Nothing\> guess i shoulda taken my doctor more seriously when he told me to take vitamin D if i'm not going outside
21:47:04 <Nothing\> apparently milk is a piss poor source of it
21:47:58 <Nothing\> ugh weirdest part of all of this is i have a spot right under my incision that's completely numb. No hot, no cold, no pressure, no pain, nothing
21:48:09 <Nothing\> about the size of my hand
21:48:41 <Nothing\> it's freaky. Every so often it gets itchy and i'll go to scratch it and realize i can't feel the scratching but i can still feel the itch, so i have no choice but to just wait for it to pass
21:49:03 <Nothing\> i also feel like my shoulder's twice as big as it really is
22:59:36 <electrohead> o/
23:51:25 <Nothing\> ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ Hey ho
23:53:08 <Nothing\> how's it going, brother?
23:54:28 <Nothing\> i just discovered somebody made an indie game that's exactly like Mario Maker, but it lets you make Mega Man levels, instead. Like, fully fleshed out Mario Maker clone with basically the same features and a LOT more content
23:55:30 <Nothing\> they squeezed damn near everything from the soundtrack to weapons, enemies, backgrounds and other assets from every classic MM game. Even the gameboy versions. Something like 18 games worth of assets
23:56:09 <Nothing\> it's cool it wasn't shut down by Nintendo, either
23:56:24 <Nothing\> usually they're real asses about fan-made stuff
