09:55:24 <MrMobodies> The whole village green is now like this
09:55:49 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/0k5ZkrMy/IMG-20260812-184641.jpg
09:56:05 <MrMobodies> and that hay like grass is now dying out
09:56:06 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/cJFRgMKj/IMG-20260812-184626.jpg
09:56:13 <MrMobodies> I am seeing lots of dry mud
09:56:31 <MrMobodies> it's concerning as it wouldn't take much for that to ignite
09:57:23 <MrMobodies> hopefully people are sensible around here and won't do silly things like try and start a bonfire
10:00:29 <DogWomble> you might be putting a little too much faith into the intelligence of people ;P
10:11:36 <MrMobodies> talking of intelligence... I thought this lot, who I did a disco for last year, especially that girl on the right who turned 18
10:11:45 <MrMobodies> who appeared to be fairly sensible
10:11:47 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/L4wrgjLT/Clubbing.jpg
10:11:52 <MrMobodies> I see this just now
10:12:03 <MrMobodies> and many times before
10:12:18 <MrMobodies> they go to these places and many get into bad ways
10:12:29 <MrMobodies> or they have their drinks spiked and one thing leads to another
10:13:26 <MrMobodies> I don't trust these night clubs. When my sister use to go to them especially one in Romford people were getting knifed outside.
10:13:40 <MrMobodies> and they'd be in the newspaper now and again
10:14:19 <MrMobodies> actually I would have preferred that in Romford to stay open instead of building a hospital over it
10:14:26 <MrMobodies> you see all the trouble went into the town
10:14:49 <MrMobodies> there is even a none alcohol notice that they can't even enforce.
10:15:30 <MrMobodies> https://www.romfordrecorder.co.uk/news/crime/21531613.town-romford-police-teams-keep-party-goers-safe/
10:15:30 <EEVBot> [url] Out on the town with Romford police teams that keep party-goers safe | Romford Recorder | www.romfordrecorder.co.uk
10:15:35 <MrMobodies> Yep nothing has changed
10:16:49 <MrMobodies> All pubs opened blasting out loud music where it sounds like they are having a fight with police surrounding it with battons (wasn't like that before that nightclub 1 miles away shut down in 2006 I think)
10:17:53 <MrMobodies> oh and it seems they have extended this non alcohol ban in 2023
10:17:55 <MrMobodies> https://www.romfordrecorder.co.uk/news/23836613.romford-town-centre-alcohol-ban-extended-2026/
10:17:56 <EEVBot> [url] Romford town centre alcohol ban extended until 2026 | Romford Recorder | www.romfordrecorder.co.uk
10:18:03 <MrMobodies> What a joke that town has become
10:19:28 <MrMobodies> the problem with that order is, the bars open outside and people will take drinks out.
10:21:26 <DogWomble> yeah, we've got similar things here. however, i've got no fucking idea how they're enforced
10:23:53 <MrMobodies> in 2004, it was fairly busy but wonderful and well behaved shoppers. I use to leave the cinema at about after 7.00pm or later and I see the pubs open but it was nice quiet and peaceful and not packed packed as I passed by. Hardly no fights just people commuting.
10:24:22 <MrMobodies> now they're drunk before midday
10:26:21 <steve30> I've finally got round to working on a new website: https://stevecoates.net/webdesigns/claude1.html
10:26:21 <EEVBot> [url] stevecoates.net | stevecoates.net
10:29:30 <DogWomble> i liek that look - minimal and clean
10:33:19 <MrMobodies> Nice and simple
10:33:42 <MrMobodies> 0% unpleasant
10:34:18 <MrMobodies> 100% pleasant
10:34:39 <flyback> heh
10:34:59 <flyback> I have all these old cpu heatsinks, propritary ones that came from dells so worthless
10:35:00 <flyback> but
10:35:02 <MrMobodies> if only he lived in my area then he'd have a matching surname
10:35:09 <MrMobodies> Steve Coates from Coates
10:35:12 <flyback> they can be drilled and used for linear regs for analog circuits and stuff
10:35:14 <flyback> :D
10:35:41 <MrMobodies> is it the solid copper ones?
10:35:49 <flyback> only ones I can't drill and screw are ones with heatpipes since that would *Canuck* the heatpipe
10:35:57 * flyback drags /nothing against a heatpipe
10:36:03 <flyback> na solid alum ones
10:36:10 <flyback> I might have 1-2 copper core ones
10:36:38 <flyback> did you know they use heatpipes ont he alaskan pipeline
10:36:42 <steve30> I have been to Coates in Lincolnshire.
10:36:59 <MrMobodies> and there is a Coates near Whittlesey
10:37:01 <flyback> to cool the support columns so that the oil heat doesn't thraw the ground and cause it to sink
10:37:30 <flyback> I sumitted this info to newegg to help defeat a heatpipe patent troll
10:37:39 * flyback <--- asshole
10:38:08 <MrMobodies> a nice little village with two pubs, a local shop/post office, a co op, and a not so nice Chinese take away
10:38:22 <steve30> There's also this option... https://stevecoates.net/webdesigns/gemma/
10:38:23 <EEVBot> [url] *** Welcome to My Homepage *** | stevecoates.net
10:38:39 <flyback> china for all the negative shit we say or find of them
10:38:51 <flyback> they really have some awesome food culture like japan
10:39:10 <MrMobodies> this particiular one gives people stomach aches
10:39:13 <flyback> like apprentely the wok was invented cause wood was scarse as fuck
10:39:13 <MrMobodies> but not always
10:39:17 <flyback> so they had to be efficient
10:39:29 <MrMobodies> now that's nice
10:39:39 <MrMobodies> "my pets"
10:40:38 <MrMobodies> maybe one day you could set one up for my local pub
10:40:41 <flyback> anyways for some weird analog/rf and 3rd world from scrap wind turbine ideas, linear regs stil are king
10:40:46 <flyback> so going to do experiments
10:40:49 <MrMobodies> and of course I'll pay you
10:41:03 <flyback> have to use alum for heatsinks cause copper is too valiable and they would just sell it
10:41:26 <steve30> MrMobodies, That's what "Gemma" AI came up with when I asked it to make a 1990s style webpage using modern HTML and CSS
10:41:35 <MrMobodies> oh right
10:42:04 <MrMobodies> I saw "Made by a human in 2024" and didn't think anything of it.
10:42:15 <steve30> I wasn't in anyway specific other than "personal home pages in the 1990s"
10:42:19 <MrMobodies> well it did the job
10:42:56 <MrMobodies> can it do a parody of Trump - it wasn't me?
10:43:00 <MrMobodies> that's a joke
10:43:39 <MrMobodies> but yes so effortless if it can do that
10:44:10 <flyback> that being said
10:44:28 <MrMobodies> a website with no, spammy fixed headers, dimming overlays, excessive fake loading/overlay spinners.
10:44:46 <flyback> I have seen circuits using linear regs, op amps, 555 timers, to make a quasie smps controller
10:45:57 <flyback> neat shit btw I have some smps modules that work down to 0.3v to produce 3.3 and 5v
10:45:59 <flyback> I mean holy shit
10:46:08 <flyback> you can piss on 2 coins and it will try to run
10:46:11 <flyback> not long but it will try
10:46:18 <flyback> try that with a large system and it's not going to happen
10:46:29 <flyback> don't even get past pin impediance
10:49:56 <flyback> then you combine that with super low power mcu's and super low power radios like lora, ble, etc
10:49:57 <flyback> wow
10:50:14 <flyback> you can have shit that tries to survive in most dire conditions
11:22:15 <MrMobodies> I see these scumbags STILL exists and are still up the same things as before
11:22:17 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/DfDfBJkL/Mylife.jpg
11:23:14 <MrMobodies> "As seen on, USA today, C|net, Fox news, WSJ, BBC" Most which replied to me that they never gave them permission to use their logo in 2018.
11:25:04 <MrMobodies> I know going to try something

20:08:39 <DHess_US> Lol, Cummins is making their first gasoline engine because of EPA regulations on diesels.

23:11:10 <arch> Cummins my ass!... wait...no...bad phrasing
23:20:27 * electrohead hesitates before filming
23:22:23 <MrMobodies> Yesterday in the forecast suggesting "it is going to be a lot more cooler tomorrow"
23:22:26 <MrMobodies> LIARS!
23:22:46 <MrMobodies> It is the SAME as yesterday, 33c and it isn't even 5pm yet.
23:23:35 <MrMobodies> they seem to be predicting, as it goes along. What's the point in them.
23:23:57 <MrMobodies> where they seem grossly inaccuate at times like these
23:25:02 <arch> electrohead, ಠ_ಠ
23:25:56 * electrohead shoves a cork into arch
23:32:52 <electrohead> I just ordered 10 of those gas discharge tubes, thanks for reminding me lol
23:34:14 <flyback> ?
23:35:02 <Kuschelpony> what projects do you do with them, electrohead
23:35:08 <flyback> my hot water heater is leaking like a siv but it's either 30 or 18 yrs old based on the label and my furnace/ac thermostat has dementia
23:35:21 * flyback drags nothing\ on his thermostat
23:35:25 <flyback> *Canucked**Canucked**Canucked**Canucked*
23:35:27 <flyback> *Canucked**Canucked**Canucked**Canucked*
23:37:05 <electrohead> Kuschelpony: oh, last time I was talking with arch, I mentioned lightning protection for my antenna farm and how I need to finish that
23:37:16 <flyback> you guys will appreciate this
23:37:22 <flyback> so the thermostat with dementia
23:37:52 <electrohead> I found listings on ebay for relatively cheap, but ordered proper GDT's through mouser - it saves on money since I'm buying in 'bulk'
23:37:57 <flyback> it randomly decides I suddentely have a commerial hvac unit with multiple compressors so it sits forever trying to start a extra compressor that doesn't exist
23:38:18 <electrohead> flyback, lol, sounds like something is wrong :P
23:38:36 <flyback> yeah I just need a new $50 thermostate
23:38:45 <electrohead> could always get another compressor in attempt to make it happy
23:38:50 <flyback> heh
23:38:52 <electrohead> lol
