00:50:37 <steve30> Here's today's solar power generation, documented on computer thanks to Claude's VB6 programming skills:

00:51:40 <steve30> I think there might be some rounding errors or something in the figures but that insignificant. Also it has bugs, but it *works*.
00:53:53 * K sprinkles some holy water
01:17:03 <flyback> LOOKS LIKE either the thermostat has a bad cap or the silicon has become higher resistance
01:17:14 <flyback> cause swapping the good batteries for brand new ones and it's behaving again
04:04:26 <MrMobodies> These property developers seem to have too much power. I read an article about this rejected 6 bedroom HMO with the address but lacking the house number as the houses ont he street seems to be different sizes
04:06:09 <MrMobodies> On search I found the last property sold which is number 52
04:06:42 <MrMobodies> but look what I found when I typed in that and HMO

04:07:19 <MrMobodies> The AI robot gathered the information before they had the number of the address omitted
04:07:37 <MrMobodies> and they went for the smallest house on that street

04:09:07 <MrMobodies> Digusting how they can dictate and omit information about themselves and their activities after it had been released knowing this is wrong to try an cram 6 people in a rabbit hutch.

04:17:05 <MrMobodies> What do you think of that Steve30? BBC editing their article like that where the only person it would disadvantage would be the offender they are reporting on.

04:20:59 <Nothing\> oy vey
04:21:30 <Nothing\> nothing like breaking more bones ON THE SAME DAY YOU GO TO GET YOUR BROKEN COLLARBONE ASSESSED!
04:21:44 <Nothing\> over 12 friggin hours in a&e
04:23:06 <Nothing\> coulda been MUCH MUCH worse, i fell off the stairs straight onto my back from like 4 or 5 steps up. Dunno how I cleared them all, plus the stereo stand at the bottom that i should have landed on head-first
04:23:33 <Nothing\> but somehow i landed at an impossible angle like 3 feet from the stairs or stand or anything
04:25:04 <Nothing\> and landing perfectly flat, nothing was sticking out, except apparently a finger. And I almont dislocated my pinky when i realized i was tipping backwards and reached out to grab the bannister only to snag the metal corner with the tip of my pinky, contracting it harder than its ever been meant to be in a literal bid to save my life
04:25:50 <Nothing\> it's funny, i have a distinct flashbulb memory of being horizontal in mid-air before i hit the ground thinking to myself "oh boy, this next part's gonna suck"
04:26:35 <Nothing\> but no, just a couple of jacked up fingers and i get the wind knocked out of my slightly. I mean, i could still call for help. I remember being winded way worse as a kid.
04:26:55 <Nothing\> running and jumping for the jungle gym and missing only to land flat on my back

05:24:26 <rc-garage> Nothing\, you need to find a better hobby
05:34:22 <Nothing\> tell me about it
05:34:42 * Nothing\ says as he starts in on his 3rd large box of ice cream bars this week
05:34:54 <Nothing\> terrible terrible addiction to these things
05:35:14 <Nothing\> more a drumstick style ice cream cone than a bar but same difference
05:35:38 <Nothing\> and yet, i don't require a drop of insulin when i eat even 2 or 3 in a row my sugar actually goes low
05:35:46 <Nothing\> how does that work?
05:37:28 * xstevia is out watching the sunset
05:51:10 <Nothing\> still 3;50pm here

05:57:26 <steve30> that was nice
06:24:12 <Nothing\> huh i found starwars shadows of the empire on steam
06:24:23 <Nothing\> despite it being an N64 game
06:24:48 <Nothing\> i also found a remastered version of Turok, but I know they made PC ports of those
06:25:17 <Nothing\> RIGHT BEFORE I LOST MY MIDDLE FINGER AND ABILITY TO PLAY WASD GAMES!
06:25:26 <Nothing\> It never fails
06:26:55 <rc-garage> no middle finger? I know a thing you can use
06:29:40 <flyback> oh good timing
06:29:58 * flyback rubs Nothing\ on his furnace/ac thermostat and hot water heater
06:30:05 <flyback> *Canucked**Canucked**Canucked**Canucked*
06:30:06 <flyback> *Canucked**Canucked**Canucked**Canucked*
06:31:15 <flyback> hot water is just shot after 18 or 30 yrs according to the serial code and the thermostat has dementia
06:31:46 <flyback> I been able to fix the thermostat by putting in brand new batteries even though the old ones were still good
06:32:06 <flyback> I think it's either got as bad cap or something in the silicon has degraded and become more sensitive to voltage
06:32:38 <flyback> what happens is the microcontroller is randomly jumping code
06:33:13 <flyback> it suddentely thinks I have a commercial multi stage compressor air con so it sits forever trying to start compressor #2 which doesn't exist
06:33:26 <flyback> or it's locking up
06:33:36 <flyback> either way it means the house gets warm

08:25:06 <MrMobodies> it is now 23:24 in England and temperature sensors reading 24.3c which is exactly the same at this time yesterday, and they said on the news "it's be a lot more cooler today."
08:25:22 <MrMobodies> ooh I mean from yesterday for today
08:25:54 <MrMobodies> I just hope their forecast will be not as so inaccurate tomorrow
08:26:27 <MrMobodies> No airflow, how outside so had to turn the air conditioner on in the conservatory and a couple of fans to blow the air to the workshop
08:28:02 <MrMobodies> Oh dear, so Noting you damaged your collarbone more by accidentally falling.

10:19:05 <Nothing\> i just had in interesting theological thought
10:19:55 <Nothing\> it's generally accepted by abrahamics (islamists, christians and jews) that god causes all thing to happen, right?
10:20:43 <Nothing\> which i've been trying to come to terms with, knowing it's a silly notion, but not being able to divornce my beliefs from what was drilled into my head for my formative years
10:22:23 <Nothing\> but it occurred to me, why would God cause these bad things to happen, only to have to deal with the aftermath, answer whatever prayers can/will be answered, or just do what needs to be done regardless of what some guy asks for, which again i'm more inclined to believe
10:23:01 <Nothing\> like why would got cause someone to have cancer only to have to deal with the prayers of the affected?
10:24:11 <Nothing\> clearly there's either an opposing force, "satan" as it's called out of convenience in the west. But, I'm more inclined to believe it has a function more like lord shiva in hinduism
10:24:49 <Nothing\> a deity of destruction, but only for the sake of allowing the new to be brought into existence by Krisha ji
10:24:59 <Nothing\> *Krishna
10:25:43 <Nothing\> so it's not so much a malevolent destruction, but necessary on account of how the cosmos work
10:26:17 <Nothing\> at least, that's the sense i get about this satan or whatever you wanna call it
10:26:54 <Nothing\> i never really considered the existence of any opposing force to God until i had this realization
10:27:40 <Nothing\> but again, maybe the "bad" or "negative" (as we perceive it) things that happen ARE done by God, but again, out of necessity rather than cruelness
10:28:29 <Nothing\> i feel like God is more an unfeeling, potentially unthinking force that just causes things to happen that need to happen in a determistic manner
10:30:02 <Nothing\> not in a psychopathic manner or malevolent or anything, but just that if God had human emotions, He would probably be a complete mess from all of the horror He's had to watch happening to his children. Like a parent who wants to help their child learn but the only way to learn is experience
10:30:44 <Nothing\> and i know, i'm rambling but i'm in a good headspace for this. this all feels like it's sort of falling into place where I couldn't reconcile it.

14:22:46 <MrMobodies> oops scroll stuck
14:23:13 <MrMobodies> It was this past week with Thursday and Yesterday being the WORST
14:24:06 <MrMobodies> Yesterday morning about this time when it got cool I decided to go to sleep but couldn't. My bedroom was like an oven despite opening the window and switching a very large fan on
14:25:28 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/gYwBLGgK/IMG-20260814-060720.jpg
14:25:50 <MrMobodies> I had to bring that fan on that window from downstairs and the other to blow the heat out of the room
14:26:03 <MrMobodies> that is the first time everything including the walls felt hot
14:26:15 <MrMobodies> it took 10 minutes to cool that room down with those two fans
14:26:51 <MrMobodies> the heatwave started about 12pm that woke me up
