11:44:16 <Nothing\> huh, i found a deceptively addictive game on steam
11:44:42 <Nothing\> restack every book from your private arcane library after they were all messed up
11:45:17 <Nothing\> you pick up a book, look at the title, consult a guide on the wall that tells you what subjects go on what shelves and fill each shelf one by one with 3,072 books
11:45:55 <Nothing\> for $7 the price is right. I bought it on a larf but wound up playing it almost non-stop until i was done
11:46:30 <Nothing\> well i'll be damned

11:46:33 <EEVBot> [YouTube] ⁨TV Detector Vans: Did They Work? ...YES! And Here's How!⁩ | 9m 22s | Channel: ⁨Science Museum⁩ | 291,645 views | 2026-07-02 - 15:00:25 UTC
11:47:02 <Nothing\> i always thought those detector vans were BS. Especially the claims they knew how many TVs you had and what channel you were wathcing
11:47:25 <Nothing\> i guess part of it has to do with detecting the signal from the TV's hsync or vsync
11:47:55 <Nothing\> a lot of tv liscencing money spent to make the bbc even more draconian
11:50:01 <Nothing\> well this bodycam video is obviously AI
11:51:40 <Nothing\> you can see a gap at the top of the mostly closed window. As the cop, for some reason, points his taser at the person on the other side of the window. Then suddenly the gap at the top disappears and the cop fires through the suddenly opened window, the taser launches a rat's nest of 5 or 6 wires and 4 probes, then the cop smashes out the window, which is now closed again, but with taser wires going through it.
11:52:20 <Nothing\> plus i'm pretty sure the cop's taser started off as a gun but i don't care anymore
11:54:52 <arch> oi, you got a loicense for that tv m8?
11:55:21 * arch threatens electrohead with a paper mache knoife
11:59:43 * electrohead counterattacks with water
12:05:42 <Nothing\> use acid, it's more conductive
12:06:36 * arch sticks a soggy wad of paper mache in electrohead's car tailpipe
12:12:50 * electrohead steps on it, blows it out with so much force it wraps around Nothing\'s head
12:55:24 <arch> electrohead, https://i.imgur.com/9j0I8Kr.gif
13:06:08 <electrohead> lol
13:08:45 <arch> that is my new favorite gif response if anyone's being a wiseass
13:09:06 <arch> especially if someone tells me if i can't use the mc34063 for my exploits
13:10:17 <Nothing\> damn
13:10:29 <Nothing\> i just found an obituary for my uncle from february
13:10:35 <Nothing\> this is the first i'm hearing of this
13:10:58 <Nothing\> not that i lost anything, really. Obviously I'm not connected to that, or any side of my family
13:12:20 <Nothing\> if there's one thing family taught me it's that family doesn't mean a think
13:12:23 <Nothing\> *thing
13:14:43 <Nothing\> huh, this plate is 150% heavier than my collarbone. No wonder it feels like there's a lead brick sewn into me
13:15:18 <Nothing\> i should ask if i can keep it after they take it out
13:15:51 <Nothing\> or if they'll take pictures of the surgery. I think that'd be cool. Seeing visible light images of the inside of your body instead of just x-rays or ultrasound
13:16:13 <Nothing\> i don't see a cell phone being sterile enough for an OR though
14:17:12 <Nothing\> hrm, in this game i'm meant to calculate the number 666 using only some mystery function by deducing what the function is through trial and error
14:19:07 <Nothing\> it seems to add 2 zeroes to the end of whatever i put in f(6) = 600, f(66) = 6600, f(666) = 66600
14:19:36 <Nothing\> no other operations available except to make a number signed
14:19:45 <Nothing\> or decimal...
14:19:58 <Nothing\> maybe i could get it to out 666.00 somehow
14:20:12 <Nothing\> nope
14:26:48 <MrMobodies> Absolutely disgusting:
14:26:53 <MrMobodies> oops scroll stuck
14:26:59 <MrMobodies> https://nypost.com/2026/08/05/sports/gianni-infantino-gets-fifas-full-support-after-questions-about-his-future-swirled/
14:27:00 <EEVBot> [url] Gianni Infantino gets FIFA's 'full support' after questions about his future swirled | nypost.com
14:27:15 <MrMobodies> This bit: "“We also agreed that FIFA will not tolerate any attacks on its integrity and will take all necessary measures to defend its reputation,”"
14:28:17 <MrMobodies> It LOST all it's integrity with the blatent biasdry, attempted sell off and the blackmail with the sell off.
14:29:24 <MrMobodies> I don't think he's just the wrong man but the whole organistion still seem to be backing him.
14:30:35 <MrMobodies> well I suppose "mistakes were made" and "we didn't mean to leave you all left out" so everything is fine now.
14:31:15 <MrMobodies> mull it over "and the sell off isn't too bad when you get to know it."
14:32:03 <MrMobodies> It seems to me the whole lot of them are up to no good.
14:33:37 <MrMobodies> maybe they could put it in stone that they'd never sell it again.
14:34:21 <MrMobodies> nice and cool now the temperature has dropped so I'm going to bed.
14:34:23 <MrMobodies> night
