[22:05:13] <chromas> Don't want to be too much better than Google I guess
[22:04:59] <chromas> Bing had the best image search but they keep ruining it. Can't click an image to load it anymore.

[22:04:09] <chromas> though that's not really new—there were mechanical buttons before
[22:03:55] <chromas> https://gaadiwaadi.com
[22:03:16] <chromas> I think they have push buttons for shifting now
[21:38:13] <Runaway1956> No one has explained how the car got "knocked into neutral", it takes multiple limbs, preferably at least one with an opposable thumb, to move the shift lever on an automagic transmission.
[21:36:43] <Runaway1956> cute story - I don't think it's entirely credible, but near enough for amusement.

[16:16:21] <ted-ious> Somebody said the quiet part out loud.
[16:07:55] <FatPhil> Oh, side by side, these are great quotes: "children as young as five can go" "We are hoping the show offers an alternative to porn"
[16:03:02] <Runaway1956> I gotta go do something useless, like, maybe, gardening
[16:02:48] <FatPhil> I don't know a single channel that stayed
[16:02:38] <FatPhil> there's surely no reason to even be on there any more?
[16:02:14] <Runaway1956> just sad that some asshole with an ego can destroy a huge ass community like that.
[16:01:29] <Runaway1956> and, of course, registering a nick didn't work - it might last a week, then they delete them all again
[16:00:45] <Runaway1956> The vast majority have 1 user, some with 2 to 10, one with 22, ahhh, there's one with 52, #android has a whopping 108, and so it goes
[15:59:08] <FatPhil> yup
[15:58:50] <Runaway1956> Huh - freenode - I just did /list over there, they seem to have preserved all the old channels, thousands of them
[15:57:16] <FatPhil> You probably can do the stake thing in Iran. I'm not sure stoning's compulsory as the mechanism for getting a woman to behave correctly.
[15:55:24] <FatPhil> one of the nice things about the documentary was that after presenting the "lets base laws on morals imposed by a religious text" side of Mrs. Whitehouse. They took a quick detour to Iran, and how well that works for people.
[15:55:09] <ted-ious> That's probably coming if this keeps up.
[15:54:58] <ted-ious> Not yet anyway.
[15:53:59] <Runaway1956> Alas, we can't accuse people of being witches, and burn them at the stake anymore.
[15:53:28] <Runaway1956> on the other hand, there are tons of arseholes out there who want to groom children for their own purposes
[15:53:05] <Runaway1956> On the one hand, society is way too uptight about sex and nudity
[15:52:41] <Runaway1956> I'd probably have to see The Family Sex Show to decide, but of course, I'm not flying to England to visit a theater.
[15:47:59] <FatPhil> The only correct thing she said was the slippery slope argument of "if you permit this now, you'll permit worse later".
[15:47:10] <FatPhil> There was a very interesting documentary on Mary Whitehouse - a christain conservative nutjob who wanted to censor everything in the 70s-90s on the BBC last week.

[15:45:48] <systemd> ^ 03Theatre defends naked 'Family Sex Show' for children as young as five
[15:45:45] <ted-ious> https://www.bristolpost.co.uk
[15:45:25] <ted-ious> Simple as same as. :)
[15:44:52] <Runaway1956> MickeyD doesn't generally have carpeting, they just mop everything, or turn on a fire hose. It's as simple as cleaning out a hog pen.
[15:43:54] <ted-ious> It would make more sense to use them in places that get dirty like mcdonalds or pizza hut.
[15:40:31] <Runaway1956> Only places I've ever seen them in use, are in restaurants - generally higher class places than McDonalds and Pizza Hut.
[15:39:57] <systemd> ^ 03Amazon.com : Central Vacuum Systems
[15:39:49] <Runaway1956> https://www.amazon.com
[15:38:40] <Runaway1956> Speaking of vacuums - I used to see centralized vacuums advertised now and again - haven't seen those in years.
[15:31:42] <FatPhil> The annoying thing is that I dropped it after cleaning up a little fix-up job on something that would have cost 15e to replace. A replacement mains adapter will cost more :/
[15:30:44] <Runaway1956> Missed my chance to buy a Magic Smoke Refiller Kit some years back . . .
[15:29:55] <FatPhil> I haven't let any of the smoke out yet, so I think it's still fine.
[15:28:47] <Runaway1956> Solution: Always charge it up in the yard, so if it explodes, you'll only kill the neighbor's dog.
[15:28:11] <Runaway1956> well, I did say "if available"
[15:27:57] <FatPhil> What? DO you think this is still the 70s?
[15:27:43] <Runaway1956> I'll agree that it's suspect, would look into schematics if available

[15:27:36] <FatPhil> so I can't count the cells
[15:27:25] <FatPhil> Fortunately when I dropped the fucker the vacuum itself didn't break, only the plug that goes into it.
[15:26:45] <FatPhil> I don't know what the internal battery voltage is, only what it says on the body of the device. Might be 9.6V, to be charged at 12V, for example.
[15:26:08] <Runaway1956> Alternators and generators on cars typically output 13 to 14 volts
[15:25:38] <Runaway1956> You're charging 12V batteries - your output from the charger has to be a little bit higher than 12V - 18V seems rather high, but, I'm not sure it's defective
[15:24:40] <Runaway1956> Uhhhhhmmmmmm -
[15:24:06] <FatPhil> I noticed my (now broken) Phillips handheld hoover's power supply was outputting 18V, despite the fact that it's supposed to be 12V. Made in china... At least the polarity was right, I guess.
[15:23:35] <systemd> ^ 03Leviton 50240 MSA 120/240V 200 Amp Meter Socket Second Surge Arrestor Qty Avbl 78477891346
[15:23:34] <Runaway1956> https://www.ebay.com
[15:23:19] <Runaway1956> Leviton - it ranks among the well known, trusted brands - not my very first choice in electrical components, but good all the same
[15:22:23] <FatPhil> don't buy a chinese brand
[15:22:10] <Runaway1956> Surge suppressors help to insure that you DON'T burn down your house.
[15:21:27] <sqrlgrrl> burning down your house: priceless
[15:20:35] <Runaway1956> I offered $175, and the seller accepted.
[15:20:09] <Runaway1956> Signed into Ebay this morning, found the exact meter socket surge protector I've been looking at, listed for $200, and a "make offer" button.
[15:19:24] -!- Tekk_ has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[15:19:21] <Runaway1956> Awesome. Been shopping for a whole house surge arrestor for several weeks now. Lowest price I've seen $240, and online sellers are reluctant to sell directly to home owners.
[15:16:20] <FatPhil> yeah, but unfortunately sometimes I need access to the information that idiots post. :/
