00:53:40 * K replaces half of electroheads N connectors with N-metric ones

01:04:54 <electrohead> :/
01:05:08 <electrohead> lol
01:05:23 <electrohead> speaking of radio things, I ordered a CB antenna to add to the antenna farm outside
01:05:32 <electrohead> like, a proper CB antenna, lol
01:06:10 <electrohead> recently picked up an older CB base station, needs more power troubleshooting - that said, this is like .. CB radio number 10? 11?
01:06:24 <electrohead> and finally decided I want to properly have a test and play with a few
01:07:06 <electrohead> thinking of grabbing one of these: https://www.ebay.com/itm/391003460288

01:09:50 <Nothing\> lol some spammer just tried to pretend they were calling about a delinquent cable acount my brother has
01:09:59 <Nothing\> my brother's been homeless for 2 years
01:10:33 <Nothing\> i told the guy i was him and he's like "i show an amount owing here blah blah blah what do you think would be the appropriate course of action here?"
01:10:42 <Nothing\> all i said was "to sue me?"
01:11:30 <Nothing\> and the guy starts going off on me about how i'm talking like a 5 year old when i just said as matter of factly as possible to sue me and invited a lawsuit when he asked for clarification
01:12:11 <Nothing\> i wasn't being sarcastic in tone, i was 100% stoic and deadpan but the guy told me i was acting like i child so i told him i didn't need to be talked to like that and hung up
01:12:24 <Nothing\> ah i miss the days of fucking with human telemarketers
01:12:54 <Nothing\> obviously if they could sue they would have
01:13:30 <Nothing\> i don't think any company worth its salt would balk at an invitation for a legitimate lawsuit that they would no doubt win
01:13:58 <Nothing\> i should call back LOL
01:15:22 <Nothing\> lol yeah the call traces back to bangladesh
01:15:33 <Nothing\> then again... outsourcing
01:16:20 <Nothing\> inbound telemarketing was actually my career when i was able to work. I lived through the days of the transition to outsourcing
01:17:11 <Nothing\> which is ironic because even if i'd been able to keep working i still would have been out of a job. All 3 companies I used to work for no longer exist.
01:17:48 <Nothing\> meanwhile they had probably around 2 to 3 thousand employees each
01:18:05 <Nothing\> the one was worldwide, altohugh not incorporated
01:19:30 <Nothing\> ah i love it when i buy like half a dozen games right before bed, so I don't even remember what they were. It's like Christmas time going through them.
01:20:24 <K> electrohead, that looks like a tool from some bdsm dungeon
01:20:28 <Nothing\> Unless my irrational half asleep brain happens to buy a clicker/idler or something without realizing it. I wish there was an option to remove every single game in those categories from my search results
01:20:32 <K> not that i've been to any.
01:20:40 <Nothing\> K, a likely story
01:21:23 <Nothing\> you wanna see a fun tool, look up a burdizzo tool
01:21:32 <Nothing\> now that's literally oodles of fun
01:22:03 <Nothing\> or a henderson tool, those are even more fun with their "twirling/twisting" motion
01:23:47 <electrohead> K: lol, you can hang all of the bdsm tools on it
01:24:06 <Nothing\> heya electrohead
01:24:14 <electrohead> oi!
01:24:16 <Nothing\> how ya doing, bud?
01:24:27 * electrohead touches himself
01:24:34 <electrohead> I'm still human! lol
01:24:34 <Nothing\> that's super!
01:24:52 <Nothing\> haha i pictured something very different when you said you touched yourself
01:25:05 <Nothing\> but still just as valid for confirming one's humanity
01:25:44 <K> thinks about the "antenna", touches himself, yeah, that is electrohead
01:25:47 <Nothing\> heh i found this legit nerf brand gun that shoots little disks infused with catnip for your cat to chase after
01:26:25 <Nothing\> i want an antenna
01:26:36 <electrohead> Lol
01:26:37 <Nothing\> i mean one that picks up RF
01:26:56 <Nothing\> i don't imagine the resonant frequency of mine is very low
01:27:12 <Nothing\> low high whatever
01:27:28 <electrohead> what else would an antenna pick up?
01:33:11 <K> chicks
01:34:33 <electrohead> lol

01:39:24 <electrohead> the whole van, rather
01:39:27 <K> does it come with the van>
01:39:50 <K> ah it does.

02:24:34 <electrohead> had to yell at someone nice and good
02:25:13 <electrohead> someone from the power company showed up to inspect the meter, but the catch: the guy made no effort to get my attention. didn't knock whatsoever, no phone call ahead of time, no email, nothing
02:25:21 <electrohead> just shows up and starts walking around my house
02:25:50 <electrohead> I live in the middle of nowhere, prancing around someone's house without informing the person living there is .. not a good look
02:52:04 Quit: Nothing ([email protected]) Quit: Leaving

03:01:31 <electrohead> lol, yeah that's "how it is" for a lot of people out here
03:02:09 <electrohead> I'm not looking to be that sort of person by any means, however .. yeah, don't go prancing around my house when I'm home and not tell me you're here, that minimum grounds for an ass beating
03:02:21 <electrohead> that's*

07:58:21 <damian> what the, i figured you were a city boy. where do you live electrohead?
07:59:51 <electrohead> in the middle of nowhere, north carolina
08:09:02 <damian> what road do you live on
08:09:36 <damian> does every state in USA have a town called Jacksonville?
08:10:49 Join: spyda ([email protected]) to #EEVblog
08:40:14 <electrohead> probably, lol
09:02:42 <K> only one?
09:11:01 <damian> ONE?!
09:11:13 <damian> or are you not talking about Jacksonville's
09:11:18 <damian> i think there's a heap of Jackson's in the USA as well
09:11:21 <damian> LETS SEE!
09:11:27 <damian> dang, i will HelpIX was in here
09:12:47 <damian> According to U.S. geographic databases and Wikipedia, there are at least 22 distinct cities and communities named Jacksonville
09:12:49 <damian> The name Jackson is even more widespread, accounting for at least 28 cities, towns, and townships
09:12:53 <damian> bahaha
09:14:02 <electrohead> hahaha
09:28:57 <K> how many Smallwilles?
09:29:04 <K> small willies
09:37:02 <damian> While it sounds like a generic American town name, Smallville is entirely fictional. It was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in 1949 for DC Comics as the rural childhood home of Clark Kent (Superman).
09:37:05 <damian> stupid america
09:44:44 <K> weak.
