| 6:58:11 PM | Solbu | Robbie is stares at me!
|
| 6:58:14 PM | Solbu | ;-)
|
| 6:58:19 PM | TheFu | Chuck is about an IT fix-it guy ... working at a Best-Buy clone big-box store in the "nerd-herd" department.
|
| 6:58:41 PM | TheFu | Much easier with a roku.
|
| 6:59:15 PM | Solbu | SashaR: What happened to your glasses? Switched to contact leanses?
|
| 6:59:53 PM | SashaR | I did ... right now my eyes are very uncomfortable... but that should get better :)
|
| 6:59:55 PM | TheFu | Yeah - glasses?
|
| 7:00:25 PM | TheFu | I have to wear reading glasses, but still wear contacts so I'm not blind otherwise.
|
| 7:00:46 PM | Solbu | Jeff_W: I'm Norwegian. :-)
|
| 7:01:10 PM | TheFu | Do they say "eh" after everything in Norway?
|
| 7:01:24 PM | TheFu | I started wearing soft in 10th grade.
|
| 7:01:37 PM | Skywriter64 | Robbie F How many Borg Queens are there?
|
| 7:01:53 PM | Solbu | Jeff_W: Back in 1999 someone asked me if I was from a specific town in Texas. :-)
|
| 7:02:34 PM | TheFu | You can hit a bunch of countries by going for 6 weeks for a few years.
|
| 7:03:16 PM | TheFu | No jeff, you are still pasty.
|
| 7:03:17 PM | TheFu | ;)
|
| 7:03:22 PM | Solbu | Jeff_W: Easy. I apparently used phrases that where normal in texas. I ain't doing that anymore. :-)
|
| 7:03:31 PM | Cee_128d | SashaR, Teslas are NOT fully autonomous. They are SEMI autonomous and require a driver in the drivers seat paying attention to the road and conditions. Full autonomy won't be available for a few more years yet. This comes directly from Tesla.
|
| 7:03:32 PM | Guest_2393 | Hello!!
|
| 7:03:37 PM | TheFu | s/anymore/nomore/
|
| 7:04:40 PM | TheFu | What type of contacts? I wear 30 day lenses. Put them in and forget about them for a month.
|
| 7:04:54 PM | Solbu | Check received.
|
| 7:05:11 PM | TheFu | chica-bow-wow.
|
| 7:05:28 PM | TheFu | Yep.
|
| 7:06:34 PM | Blokey | Second time viewer, almost a regular?
|
| 7:06:57 PM | TheFu | The type of contacts - https://www.airoptix.com/contact-lenses/night-and-day.shtml
|
| 7:08:26 PM | TheFu | Do those games work on Chromebooks and other low-end Linux-only systems?
|
| 7:08:40 PM | Solbu | I am Solb u, i am in the chatroom, and I watch on Kodi.
|
| 7:09:01 PM | Solbu | s/ u/u/
|
| 7:11:13 PM | Cee_128d | TheFu If you mean Dead Effect VR then no. Windows 7 and up only.
|
| 7:11:28 PM | TheFu | Windows? Srsly?
|
| 7:11:43 PM | Cee_128d | Yep.
|
| 7:12:13 PM | TheFu | My only Windows runs in a virtual machine that I remote into over a network.
|
| 7:13:09 PM | Solbu | And already i have had to restart the kodi stream 10 times since the show started…
|
| 7:13:43 PM | TheFu | It has been fine here. No stream issues at all. Must be a pond-issue.
|
| 7:14:16 PM | Cee_128d | It also needs a fairly substantion system to run. At least an i5-4590 and a GTX970 or greater.
|
| 7:14:33 PM | TheFu | Facebook - anti-privacy ... they seem confused.
|
| 7:15:37 PM | TheFu | Some guy clearly doxed the Bald Nerd.
|
| 7:17:30 PM | Blokey | Watching successfully on my lil RasPi
|
| 7:19:05 PM | Cee_128d | This ought to be good.
|
| 7:20:04 PM | TheFu | Canadians want to proooooonounce every syllaaaaable.
|
| 7:20:39 PM | Cee_128d | Jeff, maybe it wouldn't be so hot if you turned the stage light at stage right down about 3 stops. It's way too bright compared to stage left.
|
| 7:21:13 PM | SashaR | the lights are all the same... jeff is a ginger :)
|
| 7:21:28 PM | TheFu | Ofcourse, we all remember #431. ;)
|
| 7:21:57 PM | Cee_128d | SashaR, not even close. You can look at Robbie and see the difference on the right side of his race compared to the left side.
|
| 7:22:03 PM | TheFu | Jeff/ginger? Never noticed before.
|
| 7:22:46 PM | SashaR | In truth, there is no light above me :)
|
| 7:23:03 PM | Jeff_W | haha always been a ginger
|
| 7:24:59 PM | Cee_128d | Not 2%
|
| 7:25:11 PM | TheFu | Don't heat the solder. Heat the opposite corner of the pole/connection and add solder from the other side, never touch solder to the iron.
|
| 7:25:35 PM | Cee_128d | You need 63/37 solder which has 37% flux
|
| 7:25:38 PM | TheFu | You want the solder to be sucked into the joint.
|
| 7:29:16 PM | Blokey | 63/37 is the Tin/lead ratio, flux can be in the solder core
|
| 7:29:51 PM | Cee_128d | Blokey, Duh. I don't know why I said that.
|
| 7:30:12 PM | Blokey | Lead lowers the melting point of solder so lead free needs more heat
|
| 7:30:34 PM | TheFu | But beware that overheating some components will break them, totally.
|
| 7:30:43 PM | Blokey | best not to inhale any solder smoke!
|
| 7:32:00 PM | Blokey | Wattage of the solder iron/gun would depend on the size/mass of the component
|
| 7:32:31 PM | Gopher2 | hmm, how hot can that battery soldering iron get?
|
| 7:33:09 PM | Cee_128d | If you use lead free solder you need to use separate flux paste.
|
| 7:34:18 PM | Blokey | Also not good to use leaded solder for plumbing. Origin of plumbing was from using lead (Plumbum) for waterpipes
|
| 7:35:08 PM | Blokey | use acid free flux or clean residue as soon as possible
|
| 7:36:09 PM | Blokey | High quality measuring equipment uses silver solder
|
| 7:37:05 PM | Cee_128d | The problem with silver solder is it takes a lot more heat to melt.
|
| 7:37:36 PM | Cee_128d | YESSSSSSS
|
| 7:38:40 PM | Blokey | Yep like welding stainless steel!
|
| 7:39:06 PM | MarshMan | UK pronounces the L in solder either pronunciation is acceptable
|
| 7:39:09 PM | Solbu | Cee_128d: Your nick sounded familiar to me, until. I just realiced the connection. I drive a KIA Cee'd ;-)
|
| 7:39:57 PM | Cee_128d | @Solbu Mine is from the Commodore 128d line of computers.
|
| 7:40:00 PM | MarshMan | 60/40 or 60/37 cannot be used in Canada because of the lead
|
| 7:40:35 PM | Blokey | Solder iron should be powerful enough to not cool down too much while applying heat to component
|
| 7:40:39 PM | Gopher2 | Cannot be used or cannot be sold?
|
| 7:41:42 PM | MarshMan | sold so if selling used
|
| 7:42:34 PM | MarshMan | pump solder sucker is awesome tool
|
| 7:42:42 PM | Blokey | Solder sucker also good for zits!
|
| 7:42:54 PM | Blokey | Eeeeww
|
| 7:42:56 PM | MarshMan | Blokey: ouch!!
|
| 7:44:47 PM | Gopher2 | could be purchased from another country MarshMan
|
| 7:45:19 PM | Blokey | Desolder tape is also a useful tool
|
| 7:45:52 PM | MarshMan | I've used lead solder forever, apart from a few facial tics I'm f-f-f-f-f-f-fine
|
| 7:46:08 PM | MarshMan | i also don't lick my circuit boards
|
| 7:47:20 PM | Gopher2 | All you need is Braid Solder Wick for Desoldering
|
| 7:47:52 PM | Blokey | A place that I won't mention used leaded solder and Toluene to clean the PCBs
|
| 7:48:12 PM | Garbee | I'm around I guess...
|
| 7:48:37 PM | MarshMan | Gopher2: The braid is good but the sucker is cool
|
| 7:49:01 PM | Solbu | SashaR, Jeff_W: Is there an audience present? It sounds like someone is taking pictures in the background.
|
| 7:49:36 PM | Cee_128d | It depends on the situation which is better between the solder sucker and the braid. There is an appropriate time and place for each.
|
| 7:49:57 PM | Blokey | True
|
| 7:50:27 PM | MarshMan | the right tool for the job
|
| 7:50:30 PM | Blokey | It's the flash bulbs going off!
|
| 7:50:38 PM | Cee_128d | It's Robbie's Ticks from breathing all of the lead fumes.
|
| 7:50:50 PM | Solbu | Jeff_W: It's nt anoying or loud. It's just that i noticed it. :-)
|
| 7:50:58 PM | Blokey | A joke....nvm
|
| 7:52:00 PM | Cee_128d | @Solbu, I can't hear the clicks over my fans.
|
| 7:52:16 PM | Solbu | Cee_128d: I use wireless headphones. :-)
|
| 7:52:58 PM | Blokey | Wise to rig up a fan to draw any solder fumes from workspace and vent outside if doing a lot of soldering
|
| 7:52:59 PM | Cee_128d | @Solbu I'm too lazy to go into the other room and get my M40s
|
| 7:54:17 PM | Solbu | I have an akg k-912
|
| 7:54:37 PM | Solbu | I actually have two of those.
|
| 7:55:15 PM | TheFu | Snaps have been breaking a few 18.04 packages.
|
| 7:55:40 PM | TheFu | Mainly things that have outside dependencies like trying to watch commercial DVDs using VLC doesn't work with the VLC snap.
|
| 7:57:50 PM | Solbu | Masking as systemd, of all things.
|
| 7:58:19 PM | Blokey | Large app size would have been suspicious?
|
| 7:58:55 PM | TheFu | snaps run applications in a linux container ... trying to be more secure and protect the base system. Snaps appear like statically linked programs.
|
| 7:59:13 PM | TheFu | They won't use shared libraries from the host OS.
|
| 8:00:31 PM | TheFu | hard-core? Hard -coded?
|
| 8:02:19 PM | TheFu | SashaR - I'm almost blind for anything closer than 2-3 ft away.
|
| 8:02:38 PM | Cee_128d | GIMP 2.10 not 2.9
|
| 8:03:40 PM | TheFu | And contacts don't correct astigmatism either. I notice it and the doctors usually think I shouldn't.
|
| 8:04:39 PM | Cee_128d | TheFu I have about a 2 ft window of in focus.
|
| 8:05:55 PM | TheFu | I'm nearsighted, without my contacts in, but that really isn't an option. "I know I'm indoors" is how I am without correction.
|
| 8:06:23 PM | SashaR | this is hard
|
| 8:06:34 PM | TheFu | We can see that. ;)
|
| 8:07:07 PM | SashaR | funny I cant see anything!
|
| 8:07:12 PM | Cee_128d | Robbie that's why I've been installing Notepad++ for years.
|
| 8:08:53 PM | TheFu | vim - FTW!
|
| 8:09:33 PM | TheFu | Dry eyes.
|
| 8:09:55 PM | TheFu | Takes a few weeks/months for that to be handled by eyes.
|
| 8:10:12 PM | TheFu | Also, later in the day, dry eyes happen more often.
|
| 8:10:49 PM | TheFu | Get some rewetting drops from Wally-world. Or you can use saline - 1 drop in each eye before the show should be enough.
|
| 8:11:28 PM | TheFu | another trick is to blink really fast for 10 seconds to force wetness into the eyes.
|
| 8:13:04 PM | TheFu | What'sApp is still facebook - to be avoided.
|
| 8:13:16 PM | Garbee | Jeff_W: Coke does that for taxes and other regulatory issues. If everything was branded Coke that is the company, they'd have a congressional hearing on it being a trust. Since that raises visibility of what the company seriously owns.
|
| 8:13:38 PM | Garbee | Plus if something happens to where one gets a lawsuit it protects the assets of the other companies.
|
| 8:13:47 PM | Garbee | Everything is a legal shell game.
|
| 8:14:43 PM | Jeff_W | i agree @garbee
|
| 8:15:01 PM | TheFu | Did everyone see that Signal has security issues?
|
| 8:15:02 PM | TheFu | https://thehackernews.com/2018/05/signal-desktop-hacking.html
|
| 8:16:04 PM | TheFu | Seems like a larger font for the news is needed?
|
| 8:16:33 PM | SashaR | YES
|
| 8:18:44 PM | Blokey | Yay Sasha!
|
| 8:19:28 PM | TheFu | Intro?
|
| 8:20:52 PM | Garbee | haa yea it'll be fine.
|
| 8:20:58 PM | TheFu | blink fast and hard for 10 sec.
|
| 8:21:03 PM | Garbee | It takes time to re-adjust and all.
|
| 8:21:13 PM | Garbee | You're human SashaR. Not a news machine.
|
| 8:21:38 PM | TheFu | Contacts also change night eyesight ... lights and reflections from the rain, are almost like sparklers sometimes.
|
| 8:22:26 PM | TheFu | Yep Garbee - humanity is part of why we watch.
|
| 8:22:53 PM | Garbee | Yah, the whole "pre-do everything to perfection" is crap to watch most of the time. So dull.
|
| 8:23:17 PM | TheFu | That's why TVnews screwups go viral.
|
| 8:23:43 PM | Blokey | Live shows are far more entertaining than the edited versions
|
| 8:23:48 PM | TheFu | !!!
|
| 8:23:58 PM | RobbieF | thanks everyone!
|
| 8:24:03 PM | Solbu | SashaR: So, was it better with glasses?
|
| 8:24:07 PM | SashaR | You are all so very supportive, thank you kindly!!!
|
| 8:24:11 PM | Garbee | oh RobbieF , everyone has been wondering where you are during the week now.
|
| 8:24:14 PM | TheFu | Back to Chuck.
|
| 8:24:28 PM | RobbieF | Hey Garbee!!
|
| 8:24:28 PM | Garbee | I just tell them work basically. :P
|
| 8:24:36 PM | SashaR | :) Good night :) (and yes, glasses are easier)
|
| 8:24:39 PM | RobbieF | yeah that's what it is :(
|
| 8:24:45 PM | RobbieF | Been SO busy I can't bring up IRC at work.
|
| 8:24:50 PM | Blokey | Hot in Barrie today I hear?
|
| 8:24:52 PM | Garbee | Yup, I figured.
|
| 8:24:57 PM | Garbee | Especially after that ESET award.
|
| 8:25:06 PM | Garbee | I literally told one person, "He got that and it's been crazy ever since."
|
| 8:25:30 PM | TheFu | More income is always good.
|
| 8:25:35 PM | Garbee | Oh well, show is over. I'm off to bed. Enjoy your night of editing.
|
| 8:25:50 PM | TheFu | Definitely more light on the left side.
|
| 8:26:06 PM | Solbu | Yea.
|
| 8:26:33 PM | Blokey | Robbie or Sasha is going to walk past pushing a broom?
|
| 8:26:49 PM | TheFu | I think Sasha probably isn't a good contact wearer if her astigmatism is so bad she can't read stuff 10 ft away.
|
| 8:27:11 PM | TheFu | Like Mr. Peabody and Sherman?
|
| 8:28:00 PM | Blokey | Back to my Linux Mint chat channel
|
| 8:28:51 PM | TheFu | Just check - weather in Barrie was beautiful, not hot.
|
| 8:29:02 PM | TheFu | 15 degF from "hot".
|
| 8:29:14 PM | TheFu | Was in the low 70s.
|
| 8:29:30 PM | Blokey | Anything above 5C is hot in Canada!
|
| 8:31:00 PM | TheFu | I was about Jeff's size last summer. worked out in 90+ deg mornings as part of my program - dropped about 30kg before Thanksgiving.
|
| 8:31:39 PM | TheFu | The point is people only take a week or so to acclimate to other temperatures, provided they don't have a mental block.
|
| 8:32:17 PM | Blokey | Today was very pleasant weather for sure
|
