[05:02:52] <chromas> Peripheral makers should be taken out back and beaten for their shitty software
[06:43:44] <FatPhil> g/f & I both have just the old-style paper vaccination passports - forging them would take no minutes at all, just print something out on odd colour thick paper, and staple it together. bosh.
[06:44:12] <raxas> razer design backdoors are not bugs. I mentioned about them several times on soylent in past two years. razer itself is not an ordinary peripheral maker, it's a singapore branch of five eyes, pure evil as it stands
[06:44:23] <FatPhil> I was expecting something with a QR code printed on it, which is what all the smartphone users have, but no, I got the thing from the 1800s.
[06:46:09] <FatPhil> I'm happy to not even know what a razer is in this context.
[06:49:21] <chromas> FatPhil: no need to print. just present photoshopped passport on phone
[06:50:00] <FatPhil> All the "checks" I've seen so far have been little more than a glance
[06:50:16] <FatPhil> does it have a QR code on it? sure - in you go.
[06:50:30] <FatPhil> I take a bit longer, as the youngsters haven't heard of paper.
[06:51:06] <chromas> See, just present a QR code that points to goatse.cx
[06:52:07] <FatPhil> There was a gig at the end of the Old Town Days festival last weekend that was aimed more at the Russian-speaking subpopulation. And there were vax checks at the gates. And there were more people crowded around outside not attempting to actually get in than there were people inside.
[06:53:09] <FatPhil> Much of our Russian-speaking population is a bit derpy, it's not surprise really. I guess they're a bit like your maga-speakers.
[06:54:04] <chromas> they're called micro-phones here

[07:38:06] <Bender> [SoylentNews] - Best Way to Make Tea - Kettle or Microwave? - https://sylnt.us - isn't-boiling-water-all-the-same-temerature?
[07:57:32] <FatPhil> hmmm, I still have no mod points
[08:13:30] <Ingar> Microwave sucks
[08:13:50] <Ingar> temperature with a p btw
[08:16:25] <chromas> we had to downsize that dept
[08:16:32] <janrinok> FatPhil, ditto
[08:30:26] <janrinok> making tea in a microwave ?- how uncivilised...
[08:31:33] <chromas> you could just heat the water
[08:32:19] <chromas> just be sure to jiggle it or leave some bubbles in the container
[08:32:46] <janrinok> You haven't read the article have you? Using the microwave does not heat the water uniformly
[08:33:21] <janrinok> It all has to be damned close to boiling point for decent tea
[08:33:44] <janrinok> jiggling it reduces the temperature of the hottest water
[08:34:40] <FatPhil> depends on the tea
[08:34:48] <chromas> don't need to read the article to know that. that's why they have rotating plates and stuffff
[08:35:06] <FatPhil> some of my greens and oolongs would hate water near boiling
[08:44:11] <FatPhil> Blimey, I hope Buzz isn't underwater. Just reading about the flash floods in Tennessee. I forget exactly where in the state he was.
[08:45:28] <FatPhil> 17" of precipitation in 24 hours - that's absurd.
[08:45:47] <FatPhil> Using imperial units in 2021, I mean, wow.
[08:49:28] <chromas> metric doesn't get punctuation-based abbrevs
[08:49:48] <janrinok> Ah, I will confess to not drinking the more delicate green teas.
[08:51:01] <FatPhil> chromas: seconds and minutes of angles?
[08:51:42] <chromas> those can't be metric—they're not based on 100ths
[08:54:43] <FatPhil> so a thousand legionaires' paces is metric?
[08:56:27] <chromas> no, but kilolegionaires'paces is

[12:32:13] <Bytram> ALL: I exchanged txt message with TMB last night; he seemed totally not concerned -- seems the worst of the storms were not near him. Also, his French drain seems to have held up wonderfully so far =)
[12:33:02] <janrinok> He was probably preparing his bait ready for when it stops....
[12:34:27] <Bytram> janrinok++ lol!

[12:36:44] <Bytram> actually, my experience has been that there is so much "stuff" washed into streams and ponds that the fish have been eating plenty and are not hungry; prolly bad for fishing.

[15:41:03] <FatPhil> Fricken useless idiots at the passport office have now started sending me reminder emails to send my old passport to them despite the fact that I know that they now have it.
[15:41:39] <janrinok> can you phone or email them?
[15:50:58] <FatPhil> I think I should mail a salmon to them
[15:51:26] <FatPhil> if it takes 10 days to get there, and they sit on it for ~5 days, that should stink right royally when they finally open it.
[15:54:26] <FatPhil> got a message from a mate in britain asking if I'll be going to his local beer festival in 2 months time. Hell, I'd love to if I could...
[15:55:11] <janrinok> combine it with a visit to the Passport Office - I'm sure they would like to meet you after a few beers
[15:55:37] <janrinok> you know, just to explain things to them ...

[21:24:34] <FatPhil> a pox on batteries!
[21:24:54] <Runaway1956> chicken, or small?
[21:26:09] <FatPhil> my kbd battery's just gone flat, so while I recharge it, I have to type all the text I want to type into a tmux session using my phone, and then do copy/paste with the mouse

[21:27:13] * Runaway1956 loves his PS/2 mouse/keyboard combination
[21:27:20] <FatPhil> the charger is also giving me dodgy led blinks, I think it's refusing to recharge.
[21:28:00] <FatPhil> screen's on the wall opposite, don't want any cables.
[21:29:06] <FatPhil> i think we still have a 24hr shop in town, I might need to bite the bullet.
[21:29:15] * Runaway1956 pisses away $250 to upgrade memory - more of it, and faster
[21:29:55] * Runaway1956 always needs more virtual machines running at the same time
[21:30:51] <Runaway1956> meanwhile, I' figuring the odds of selling my existing memory on Ebay to recover 1/2 or more of that money
[21:33:53] <Runaway1956> FatPhil - if it's any help at all, I can recommend the XTAR Dragon battery recharger
[21:34:10] <Runaway1956> I've recovered a small number of unrechargeable batteries since I've had it

[22:05:40] <FatPhil> the one I have is way more high-tech than any other I've had before, and it has breathed some life back into dead ones.
[22:06:32] <chromas> I remember the TV ads from the '90s for the Buddy-L charger that could totally recharge alkaline batteries
[22:06:58] <Runaway1956> I've had mixed luck trying to recharge alkaline
[22:07:22] <chromas> You're supposed to throw them into the firepit
[22:07:50] <chromas> pyrodegradable
[22:08:04] <Runaway1956> If you have a wood burning stove, burning batteries is *supposed* to clean out the flue & chimney
[22:08:15] <FatPhil> I'm just amazed the tmux+mouse thing works.
[22:08:19] * Runaway1956 has never scientifically established that to be true
[22:08:24] <requerdanos> hint, don't use lithium ones
[22:08:36] <FatPhil> one of my nokias is the shape of the hindenberg presently
[22:08:55] <FatPhil> not sure quite what to do with it.
[22:09:31] <Runaway1956> You could take it out for target practice - people make crazy videos of shooting all kinds of crazy things
[22:10:26] <chromas> "CrAzY Nokia destroys bullets in mid-air!"
[22:10:26] <FatPhil> I'd have to buy a throwing axe first
[22:10:50] <Runaway1956> In Soviet Russia, axe throws you!
[22:12:12] <FatPhil> hmmm, maybe a dartboard and darts would be sufficient, and I'm not so sure about the board.
