[00:04:35] <SirFinkus> white rice isn't typically bleached, just the husks removed and the grains polished
[00:05:04] <SirFinkus> then they add shit to fortify it, at least for the long grain stuff typically sold in the US
[00:05:15] <SirFinkus> which is why most white rice in the US is so gummy and gross
[00:05:52] <SirFinkus> instant rice is shit
[00:14:21] <mecctro> ah, didn't know that. Never really been a huge fan of white rice.
[00:18:20] <SirFinkus> proper white rice is delicious
[00:18:36] <SirFinkus> I prefer basmati or jasmine when it comes to long grain rice
[00:18:45] <SirFinkus> which most people cook wrong too
[00:19:09] <mecctro> jasmine is good, and agreed. White isn't horrible or anything, I just prefer long grain.
[00:19:15] <SirFinkus> traditionally, those varieties are boiled and strained rather than using measured amounts of water
[00:19:28] <mecctro> harder
[00:19:41] <mecctro> I also like black rice a lot
[00:19:44] <SirFinkus> short grain sushi rice is good too, but you have to clean it first before cooking
[00:20:15] <SirFinkus> I believe the most common US variety is calrose
[00:20:16] <mecctro> I've never made the really short grain stuff, but it's decent texture-wise.
[00:20:48] <SirFinkus> it'd be these stuff you'd get at a Japanese resturant
[00:20:59] <SirFinkus> biggest place people fuck up trying to make sushi too
[00:21:16] <SirFinkus> they'll either try and use long grain enriched, or even worse, sticky rice
[00:21:49] <mecctro> yea, it's great with sushi (short-grain)
[00:22:02] <mecctro> I'm seen some horrible sushi attempts
[00:22:53] <mecctro> if there's an ingredient in sushi, there is equally someone who has used the wrong ingredient.
[00:23:28] <mecctro> To be fair, I'm not really well versed in making it. However, taste speaks volumes.
[00:24:06] <SirFinkus> it's all in the rice really
[00:24:15] <SirFinkus> if you can get that right, you can get away with murder
[00:24:28] <mecctro> nothing like the texture of long-grain, on seaweed that smells like piss, and improperly cleans raw salmon!
[00:24:52] <SirFinkus> I don't know how one would fuck up the seaweed part
[00:25:00] <mecctro> break it
[00:25:24] <mecctro> or worse, make a seaweed wall
[00:26:00] <SirFinkus> sounds like that would require effort
[00:26:38] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Criminal Terrorist Investigation Opened After Gas Canisters Found in Paris - http://sylnt.us - things-that-may-go-boom
[00:26:47] <mecctro> A friend of mine wrapped hers like it contained life
[00:28:32] <Booga1> Heh. Roommate just picked up 50lbs of brown rice a couple of days ago. We're set for a couple of years.
[00:29:11] <mecctro> lol, well spent.
[00:29:22] <Booga1> $20 :)
[00:29:39] <mecctro> never a bad idea to stock a bit of rice.
[00:29:52] <mecctro> we do it for other countries all the time!
[00:29:54] <mecctro> lol

[10:31:57] <DarthTrump> ^ 03SN article: Retro-Malware: Writing A Keylogger for DOS, Part 1 04(86 comments)
[10:32:05] <mecctro> ah, very cool, thanks!
[10:32:16] <cmn32480> NCommander - I was not... but I think thigns of that length may require a book binder
[10:32:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> have you googled for the last installment to see who all stole it yet?
[10:32:58] * cmn32480 goes back to fixing other people's messes
[10:33:03] <NCommander> cmn32480, what should scare you is I can crap out 3k words in 15 minutes. mrcoolbp has seen it happen
[10:33:27] <mecctro> I wouldn't be surprised, especially with something like this, sadly, NCommander
[10:33:28] <cmn32480> NCommander - I believe it. and it only scares me if I have to edit it!
[10:33:47] <NCommander> TheMightyBuzzard, mecctro: stole it yet?
[10:33:54] <NCommander> You mean copy it to another website like?
[10:34:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar
[10:34:21] <mecctro> I stole it, to my brain.
[10:34:34] <mecctro> (well not all of it, yet)
[10:34:37] <NCommander> mecctro, TheMightyBuzzard: considering its a keylogger that will use AX.25 to send data somewhere else, I doubt its very valuable
[10:34:51] * NCommander will give a brownie point to anyone in chat who even knows what AX.25 is
[10:35:13] <mecctro> It's just the nature of the internet, unique content is almost always "found and distributed"
[10:35:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> not me. my brain can only hold so much wacky computing knowledge. i prefer to keep the spare gray matter handy in case i need to learn something i'll use.
[10:35:49] <cmn32480> TheMightyBuzzard - like houw to use a doorbell?
[10:35:52] <TheMightyBuzzard> ax.25 == networking over ham, ya?
[10:35:56] <NCommander> TheMightyBuzzard, ding
[10:36:06] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, zactly. knock like a regular person.
[10:36:26] <mecctro> hey, what's wrong with ham?!
[10:36:28] <cmn32480> knock knock
[10:36:34] <NCommander> TheMightyBuzzard, I figure that's a rather nifty way to get the data *out* and fits with the stuff that would have been available in that era. You'd be fairly surprised how small you could make a TNC and a UHF radio
[10:36:44] <NCommander> mecctro, ham radio ;)
[10:36:56] <mecctro> I know, lol
[10:37:03] <NCommander> mecctro, you licensed?
[10:37:17] * NCommander notes the few times its come up, SN seems to have quite a few
[10:37:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> NCommander, no i wouldn't. i've done it with 2N2222s and breadboard.
[10:37:23] <mecctro> I don't have know enough, but I'd love to.
[10:37:27] <mecctro> know enough*
[10:37:36] <cmn32480> NCommanders next article - "Bacon on the Radio!"
[10:37:37] <NCommander> I'm sorely tempted to establish a ham radio net via IRLP/EchoLink
[10:37:45] <NCommander> for SN
[10:37:58] <mecctro> Let me know if you ever do! ;)
[10:38:07] <SirFinkus> anyone want to hear why The Hunger Games are over 12 and a half hours of bullshit?
[10:38:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> well for the completely illegal to make transmitters for FM bands anyway
[10:38:13] <mecctro> "for education purposes"
[10:38:14] <SirFinkus> I got a rant
[10:38:43] <mecctro> I'm always up for a rant right after I open my eyeballs Fink lol
[10:39:03] <SirFinkus> ok
[10:39:04] <NCommander> mecctro, its a pity I'm in New York City (VHF/UHF hell), and only have two baofengs ATM
[10:39:11] <SirFinkus> first movie was kind of ok
[10:39:30] <SirFinkus> I mean, thin premise, but teenagers killing each other usually has a thin justifying premise
[10:39:30] <NCommander> mecctro, though I can hit a repeater 2 miles away in Times Square without line of sight with an external antenna at 5W so winning there
[10:39:30] <mecctro> NYC is analog hell, generally
[10:39:46] <mecctro> Not bad, considering
[10:39:47] <NCommander> mecctro, the whole area is really dead for ham. I checked EchoLink to see what was going on.
[10:39:54] <mecctro> no penetration?
[10:39:56] <SirFinkus> they set themselves up for failure with the hole revolution thing
[10:40:02] <mecctro> oic
[10:40:16] <TheMightyBuzzard> <= 900MHz ftw! screw you, line of sight!
[10:40:24] <NCommander> mecctro, 70cm is about the only band with equipment available that has any chance of working. 2m is more or less useless. I have 1.25 equipment, but I suspect its *meh*
[10:40:34] <SirFinkus> so the setting is rich guys live in the capital, and are surrounded by districts to support their lavish lifestyle
[10:40:46] <SirFinkus> but they ruin that, because the guys in the capital apparently have magic
[10:40:50] <NCommander> TheMightyBuzzard, 400 Mhz = hams rock
[10:41:07] <SirFinkus> and can just straight up make magic fire and create matter/life on a whim
[10:41:11] <NCommander> We also have a chunk down in 33cm, though I don't believe anyone actually makes radios COTS for that
[10:41:34] <SirFinkus> the second movie was almost entirely pointless
[10:41:35] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar. i hate current consumer wireless networking. it's all but useless if you have to go through more than one piece of sheetrock
[10:41:46] <SirFinkus> it was basically just a repeat of the last one
[10:41:53] <NCommander> TheMightyBuzzard, that's mostly because 2.4Ghz is stupidly overcrowded
[10:41:56] <mecctro> Pretty much Fink
[10:42:07] <chromas> SirFinkus: make a plinket-style youtube review
[10:42:08] <SirFinkus> here's where it really falls off the rails
[10:42:09] <mecctro> 2.4 is RIDICULOUSLY overcrowded
[10:42:10] <TheMightyBuzzard> and 5GHz won't penetrate fuck-all
[10:42:14] <NCommander> 5 Ghz will go through just about anything, but with FCC regs, you won't get much more than 100 ft
[10:42:29] <SirFinkus> for almost no reason, she's now like the spokesperson of the revolution
[10:42:36] <NCommander> TheMightyBuzzard, no, higher wavelength == better penertation/less range
[10:42:38] <mecctro> FCC - "This is not the band you're looking for"
[10:42:44] <NCommander> 5 Ghz just has very low power requirements
[10:42:45] <SirFinkus> not justified in the slightest
[10:42:53] <TheMightyBuzzard> higher wavelength = lower frequency
[10:43:01] <SirFinkus> mecctro: that would mean I'd need to watch it again
[10:43:16] <SirFinkus> oh, another thing
[10:43:21] <SirFinkus> the stupid love triangle
[10:43:29] <NCommander> mecctro, always annoys me that CB is sitting pretty in 11m which gets better propigation than the bands techs can use
[10:43:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> ham can penetrate fsckin lead superman couldn't see through at 400MHZ. 5GHz can't penetrate a sheet of paper.
[10:43:44] <SirFinkus> her two love interests are pretty much indistinguishable from each other
[10:43:57] <SirFinkus> aside from the fivehead on the bread guy
[10:44:13] <NCommander> TheMightyBuzzard, yeah I got it backwards. still, stell hell in NYC really makes any radio work close to impossible unless you have roof access
[10:44:29] <mecctro> SirFinkus: The entire movie is nothing but typical daytime soap-opera for tweens with a throbbing sense of resentment for society.
[10:44:34] <NCommander> and it was 400 kHz I got best work with
[10:44:47] <SirFinkus> so anyway, they go through this elaborate plan in movie two to keep her alive because she's the darling of the revolution
[10:44:51] <SirFinkus> and some kind of symbol
[10:44:51] <TheMightyBuzzard> troof. and they really dislike you putting up bigass antennas for the really long bands
[10:44:54] <NCommander> 2M still seems fairly useless in this area. I can't even ping that repeater on its 2m input. I can get it more or less load and clear on 70cm
[10:44:55] * chromas prefers the negahertz
[10:45:01] <TheMightyBuzzard> no half-wave for joo
[10:45:11] <SirFinkus> so why don't they let her die and turn her into a martyr?
[10:45:19] <SirFinkus> bam, now everyone who loves her is pissed
[10:45:23] <NCommander> TheMightyBuzzard, I didn't know you were a ham
[10:45:35] <mecctro> Because the next movie wouldn't sell as much SirFinkuse.
[10:45:48] <TheMightyBuzzard> not, i've just read a lot on radio theory and antenna design
[10:46:00] <TheMightyBuzzard> so i could be an evil pirate
[10:46:05] <mecctro> kids can't handle losing their idols anymore, seeing how they are made of band-aids and marshmallows.
[10:46:08] <SirFinkus> they also start overusing the narrative device of having the protag wake up from comas to expository dialog
[10:46:35] <SirFinkus> oh, MC never needs to make any decisions
[10:46:46] <SirFinkus> she never even kills anyone outside of self defense
[10:46:57] <SirFinkus> all the people she does kill are comically evil
[10:46:58] <TheMightyBuzzard> always use the same song to test a new transmitter too
[10:47:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> #youtube authority song

[10:47:35] <mecctro> lol
[10:48:04] <mecctro> Be careful, they may never approve your FM ;)
[10:48:09] <NCommander> mecctro, I was fairly amused that a lot of the SN community seemed to be in shock that I'm 28
[10:48:31] <mecctro> I'm not surprised, I'm 25
[10:49:02] <SirFinkus> meh, bored ranting for now
[10:49:09] <SirFinkus> it's just fucking dumb
[10:49:24] <chromas> Now do Twilight
[10:49:25] <mecctro> ofc, typical hollywood drivel Sir
[10:49:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> somewhere around here i got a portable FM transmitter built in a dukes of hazard lunchbox. i forget what wattage i was pushing with it but it runs off 12VDC so i can hook it up to the cigarette lighter port on a car.
[10:49:50] <SirFinkus> not even that
[10:49:56] <SirFinkus> like, marvel movies are pretty shit
[10:50:07] <SirFinkus> but usually the plots are at least somewhat thought out
[10:50:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> no fucking IC chips. all transistors, resistors, and hand-wound coils
[10:50:50] <SirFinkus> they pivot from battle royale into some kind of epic overthrow plot
[10:50:54] <SirFinkus> poorly
[10:51:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> used the aluminum lunchbox cause it makes a good heatsink and case at the same time for the amp stage
[10:51:40] <SirFinkus> pretty much every decision anybody in the movie made made me scratch my head
[10:51:54] <mecctro> I wish I knew more about electronics, need to find some more time for it.
[10:52:10] <mecctro> Buzz, that's pretty neat.
[10:52:34] <chromas> Well now, TheMightyBuzzard AND NCommander can collaborate on an All New Original Series
[10:52:40] <TheMightyBuzzard> the transmitter itself i cheated on and used a headphones to fm transmitter made to play from your phone to your radio in older cars. reaches about 20' before the amp. bout 2 miles after.

[10:53:00] <AndyTheAbsurd> SirFinkus: any particular marvel movie, or just "all of them"?
[10:53:15] <mecctro> SirFinkus: I really don't watch a lot of the big-budget stuff anymore, it's just not very cerebral for me.
[10:53:33] <SirFinkus> the problem with marvel movies isn't that they're all that bad individually
[10:53:41] <SirFinkus> it's that they're all exactly the same
[10:53:46] <chromas> TheMightyBuzzard: Did you get free job offers from Intel and stuff?
[10:53:47] <SirFinkus> deadpool was entertaining
[10:54:00] <NCommander> TheMightyBuzzard, feel free to write something on antenna propigation
[10:54:19] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, any ham can do what i did. tweren't nothin special.
[10:54:29] <chromas> But you put a thing in a box
[10:54:31] <SirFinkus> they're kind of satisfying on a superficial layer
[10:54:36] <SirFinkus> they're like junk food
[10:55:03] <chromas> works for clocks
[10:55:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> NCommander, may do but i'm far from an expert. if i designed a directional antenna it'd end up looking like a cantenna rather than a yagi.
[10:55:34] <NCommander> TheMightyBuzzard, it would still be interesting
[10:56:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar, we could probably use an update on the cantenna design for 5GHz
[10:56:42] <chromas> Using mentos wrappers instead of pringles cans
[10:57:02] <crutchy> and fooly sick lunchboxes :)
[10:57:05] <TheMightyBuzzard> chromas, prolly a bit larger but ya
[10:57:29] <boru> I missed the scrollback. Wardriving?
[10:57:41] <crutchy> lunchbox subwoofer amps
[10:57:46] <chromas> cantennas are why Lay's Stax didn't take off

[10:58:25] <chromas> Actually ham radio and baysplosions
[10:58:44] <crutchy> russian rocket motors are awesome
[10:58:55] <cmn32480> for heavy use frequencies, making your own cantennas is cool, but the antennas are so cheap that it almost doens't make sense.
[10:59:06] <cmn32480> 2.4 and 5ghz specifically
[10:59:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> boru, pirate radio and general antenna design theory
[10:59:09] <cmn32480> 900 as well
[10:59:27] <TheMightyBuzzard> cmn32480, you can get way better wall penetration with a cantenna
[10:59:30] <crutchy> if you wanna be really cool you gotta install your cantenna on a 500 ft high mast
[10:59:39] <TheMightyBuzzard> s'true
[10:59:56] <TheMightyBuzzard> bonus points if you don't have permission to even climb it
[11:00:06] <crutchy> or if the feds come and knock it down
[11:00:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> yar
[11:00:13] <cmn32480> like the kid in Kindergarten Cop...
[11:00:32] <chromas> Who is your daddy and what does he do?
[11:01:06] <boru> TMB; antenna design is a pretty interesting subject alright.
[11:01:20] <TheMightyBuzzard> speaking of, why haven't i thought of making a cantenna to get through this fucking wall that limits me to less bandwidth than my isp gives me?
[11:01:22] <boru> You're a ham?
[11:01:22] <boru> I think I asked you this before...
[11:01:38] <boru> Yes, why haven't you!

[11:01:43] <boru> Sheesh, I thought everyone did that.
[11:01:47] <boru> Neat.
[11:02:03] <TheMightyBuzzard> and occasionally still, for fairly limited range.
[11:04:39] <boru> Good post apocalyptic skill to have.

[11:18:29] <mecctro> tasty bby
[11:25:17] <TheMightyBuzzard> hrm, looks like you could use most anything with a 2" diameter as a 5GHz cantenna can. bonus points if it's a multiple of 2" in length but that can always be adjusted.
[11:27:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> put a 1" (half wave) mast inside either 1" (better) or 2" (good) from the back of the can and you're golden
[11:28:26] <SirFinkus> oh tmb, regarding the wiki folding thing, wiki is having issues ATM so it's been put off a bit
[11:28:47] <SirFinkus> forgot to tell you

[11:30:37] <SirFinkus> oh, I don't know about any of that, that's still up in the air ATM
[11:31:12] <SirFinkus> I can just do a story for now
[11:31:22] <TheMightyBuzzard> 5.8GHz has almost exactly a 2" wavelength, so we can go with exactly that for measurements and just let you get slightly better reception at the higher frequency channels
[11:31:32] <mecctro> np, was just interested, my chat crashed so I wasn't sure if there were any changes since last you spoke of it.
[11:32:01] <SirFinkus> yeah, I brought it up with the smart people
[11:32:08] <SirFinkus> that were online
[11:32:23] <cmn32480> and some of us that aren't so much so

[11:32:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> really you'd be adjusting in hundredths of an inch to get it down to precisely a 5.8GHz wavelength, so close e-bloody-nough
[11:32:59] <cmn32480> neither is crutchy!
[11:33:37] <SirFinkus> wireless is annoying, I remember when I got my new (old) desk and spent and embarrassing amount of time troubleshooting why my wireless connection no longer worked
[11:33:38] <mecctro> TheMightBuzzard: Is it just easier to hand-tune or?
[11:33:43] <SirFinkus> turns out the desk was blocking it
[11:34:02] <boru> Wireless is annoying when standards bodies are involved.
[11:34:02] <chromas> SirFinkus: that just means you needed moar watts
[11:34:10] <SirFinkus> nope

[11:34:22] <boru> cf. 3G, wifi, nfc, bt, LTE etc.
[11:34:23] <SirFinkus> pretty much
[11:34:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> mecctro, there's really no need shaving a few hundredths of an inch off the mast

[11:36:03] <mecctro> I've seen a lot of these desks, used to be more common.
[11:36:04] <SirFinkus> not stainless, that guy just stripped the paint and brushed it
[11:36:29] <SirFinkus> you can usually get the for free or pretty cheap
[11:36:44] <SirFinkus> look for "tanker steel desk" and other similar terms
[11:36:47] <mecctro> which is odd, because they're basically full-proof.
[11:37:06] <SirFinkus> they're expensive to make
[11:37:24] <SirFinkus> the entire thing locks too
[11:37:25] <mecctro> I mean, I don't understand why they go for cheap (or free, around here)
[11:38:03] <SirFinkus> because they aren't pretty (to some) and are a huge pita to move
[11:38:26] <TheMightyBuzzard> right, i needa get my pills in me or ima be worthless today
[11:38:32] <chromas> Better scoop one up before the hipsters find out about those 'retro' desks and drive up the price
[11:38:32] <SirFinkus> they're also not the best for computers
[11:38:41] <SirFinkus> chromas, already happening
[11:38:56] <mecctro> Yea, they're a big pain in the ass to move, and a bit odd for computers.
[11:39:01] <SirFinkus> but there are millions of the fuckers
[11:39:26] <cmn32480> ow... damnit my ankle hurts
[11:39:31] <mecctro> They used to be everywhere
[11:40:09] <SirFinkus> get an old one too, the newer ones use that thin shit they use in cheap filing cabinets
[11:40:24] <mecctro> If you don't want to move ever again, they're great.
[11:40:38] <mecctro> that's basically the only criteria lol
[11:40:40] <cmn32480> if you plan on moving... get a crane
[11:40:56] <mecctro> "Bob, can we borrow you backhoe?"
[11:41:07] <SirFinkus> the metal on mine is about 1.4 millimeters thick, at least on the pull out parts
[11:41:33] <SirFinkus> if it doesn't smell like cigarettes, it's probably shit
[11:42:19] <chromas> It's the same for hookers
[11:42:21] <mecctro> That's pretty thick.
[11:43:17] <cmn32480> explains why they are so damn heavy
[11:44:12] <mecctro> Yea, they're quite heavy, the older one's especially, I've had the pleasure of moving a lot of them.
[11:44:15] <SirFinkus> "Bold, industrial and nearly indestructible, the Tanker desk was most often confined to utilitarian uses in mid-century Americana.

[11:44:33] <mecctro> I'm pretty sure I had this exact same one (in that shitty teal color) in my old office.
[11:45:54] <mecctro> same model*

[19:06:11] <FatPhil> bastard g/f not letting me watch telly until I've typed in some of my horrific beer-review backlog.
[19:06:12] * cmn32480 thinks he's missin out
[19:06:40] <cmn32480> tea.. beer... sauna... g/f
[19:06:52] <cmn32480> being at the office SUCKS!
[19:07:04] <AndyTheAbsurd> sure does
[19:07:34] <AndyTheAbsurd> I actually have a hot tub at my house but it's empty and got a bunch of stuff on top of it
[19:07:42] <AndyTheAbsurd> so it hasn't been used in like two years
[19:07:58] <AndyTheAbsurd> I need to either start using it or figure out how to get rid of it.
[19:08:27] <cmn32480> I ahve a whirpool tub in the masterbath.. but it gett close to overflow if I put my fat ass and more than 2 cups of water in it
[19:17:43] janrinok is now known as zz_janrinok
[19:30:33] <FatPhil> nd something pink and a bit yeasty X-p
[19:33:00] <FatPhil> OK, I worked out what it was - it was a trial batch of a contract beer brewed by a local brewer friend, an unlabelled freebie.
[19:33:20] <FatPhil> hated the final version that hit the shops, but apparently the client was happy with it
[19:34:12] <cmn32480> AndyTheAbsurd - you can brew beer in it!
[19:35:36] <FatPhil> Hmmm, the last time I was in a hot-tub was when it was actually full of rye malts - it literally was a hot kvas bath!
[19:46:44] <chromas> so you had hot kvas buns
[19:46:52] * chromas plays the recorder
[19:55:45] * cmn32480 groans outwardly... but giggles on the inside

[20:02:58] <FatPhil> I'm actually in one of those photos (but not the hot-tub ones)

[20:24:38] <FatPhil> well, that was relaxing, apart from the typing in beer backlog part.
[20:25:48] <FatPhil> our mistake was buying a flat with a sauna but no balcony, as right now would be a good time to scare the outside world.
