modern island

They had three weird flavours for a promotion
plucky ridge
I'd try it for sure
gentle moss
it didn't win the vote, so it didn't get to become a forever flavour
plucky ridge
But what?
sand goblet
I forget what they were
gentle moss
it could've also been chilli chocolate and fish and chips
walkers go a bit nuts with the flavours sometimes
that's almost every flavour they've ever done.
plucky ridge
Ooooooo steak and onion sounds grand
autumn herald
Ahah
In Belgium they have Bicky Burger flavor
Bicky Burger is like weird horsepigcow fried burger and 3 sauces that taste awful
So they made chips with that flavor for the memes

would you rather sit for 20 minutes doing nothing or take a jog around the corner ?

@plucky ridge lays is walkers, opel is vauxhall, orbit is extra, etc
the english have special needs when it comes to names
sand goblet
Vauxhall is just UK but Walkers and Extra spread further than that
rough sapphire
extra is just UK and ireland
dunno about walkers, I was under the impression it was just GB but I might be wrong
gentle moss
iirc a lot of those names started in the UK
rough sapphire
wiki says mainly UK and eire
gentle moss
Lays purchased Walkers
Walkers started in 1940's
so they're the original
Lays is the imposter
rough sapphire
what would happen if the purchase of other companies was outlawed
gentle moss
Lays probably wouldn't be re-branding walkers crisps?
or they'd have a licensing agreement instead

plucky ridge
What'd you use to keep the soldered cables separated?
gentle moss
2 layers of electrical tape from the base
plucky ridge
It's awesome
I'm kind of surprised you hadn't heard of it considering how much you futz with cables
gentle moss
well if you've got methods that work you tend not to look for new solutions
plucky ridge
Sure sure

i'll have to check that shit out

I can't remember where I learned about it
It was either a youtube video or I just happened to see it in a store
Can't remember which
gentle moss
heatshrink is okay but i bet that liquid tape is cheaper
plucky ridge
And keeps moisture out better
plucky ridge
Yep, but that'll last you for quite a while
plucky ridge
I wouldn't trust the spray
"Whelp, not only is the cable protected, so is this small section of wall"
gentle moss
i just imagined having loads of cables lined up, like some kind of ethernet splice, and just blitzing them all
gentle moss
makes sense
plucky ridge
Not only that, but I think you can use it to bind the cables together
gentle moss
nifty recommendation π
ah so you can use it a bit like a heatshrink around a bundle
plucky ridge
So like in your situation there thanks to Mr. Rat, first coat for sealing the cable away, second for rebinding them
Yeah exactly

Hm yeah
plucky ridge
@gentle moss where did you see that price online?
gentle moss
eh, just looked at a result on amazon.co.uk
gentle moss
oh that's cool
plucky ridge
Yeah oddly the cheapest I'm seeing on Amazon (in the US at least) is for the red one for $7.49
gentle moss
maybe it's more of an american thing
plucky ridge
Or it doesn't sell as well
Seen plenty of times where certain colors of things go at cheaper prices
gentle moss
because we just electrical tape everything i guess
plucky ridge
Maybe, it's not a commonly used thing that I've seen
Might be in like hobby circles
But I guess in fairness I don't talk to a lot of electricians
gentle moss
i think a give away is that it lists how much in flOz before ml

ol' bill orange as they called him

But I think we, in The Netherlands, call someone else William of Orange

we covered him in our history course in school, legend

William of Orange was a male war pigeon of British military intelligence service MI14. He was awarded the 21st Dickin Medal for delivering a message from the Arnhem Airborne Operation. This message saved more than 2000 soldiers at the time of the Battle of Arnhem in September 1944. Its official name in military record is NPS.42.NS.15125. He received the Dickin Medal in May 1945.[1]
Communications in that battle were a problem for the Allied units; German troops had surrounded the airborne forces and the few radio sets present malfunctioned. William of Orange was released by British soldiers at 10:30 on 19 September 1944 and arrived at his nest box in England at 14:55. He flew over 400 km (250 mi) and the message he carried was one of few to make their way back to the United Kingdom.
this fucking guy
2,000 soldiers saved
gentle moss
that caught my eye too
bleak lintel
your country did it too hem
The US Army Signal Corps used 600 pigeons in France alone.
gentle moss
bleak lintel
for WW1
plucky ridge
I'm not disputing it
plucky ridge
It's just the phrase is so pleasing
gentle moss
plucky ridge
I need to see an indie game called that
bleak lintel
wait holy shit I thought 600 was a lot
During World War II, the United Kingdom used about 250,000 homing pigeons for many purposes, including communicating with those behind enemy lines such as Belgium spy Jozef Raskin. The Dickin Medal, the highest possible decoration for valor given to animals, was awarded to 32 pigeons, including the United States Army Pigeon Service's G.I. Joe and the Irish pigeon Paddy.
gentle moss
this one's ready to take your photo
bleak lintel
250,000 pigeons
gentle moss
yeah, we used A LOT of pigeons
plucky ridge
You are not wrong, Joe
gentle moss
we even tried to put them in torpedos
plucky ridge
Yep, heard about that
gentle moss
they'd train the pigeon to peck at warships
then stuff them in a torpedo and use them to guide it
plucky ridge
Pigeon guided rockets and torpedoes a
They were trained to peck on a screen where the enemy ship was and that would be translated and guide the explosive
gentle moss
the problem with pigeons is they're always trying to overthrow governments
plucky ridge
Unfortunately there were a few flaws
bleak lintel
brilliant lol
plucky ridge
That was
Amazing
I literally had to stop typing and just enjoy that
But one of the main issues with the pigeon guidance systems was that they couldn't tell the difference between friendly and enemy ships
Sooooooooooooooo
gentle moss
get paint guns and paint the enemy ships
plucky ridge
I mean
If you can hit the enemy ship with a paintball, you can probably riddle them with a barrage of explosives of around the same size
gentle moss
yeah but paint is less lethal so they wont mind so much
bleak lintel
speaking of paint
bleak lintel
dazzle camouflage was super cool
gentle moss
it was
plucky ridge
Oh my god my brain
gentle moss
made it hard to track the motion of ships or smth
speaking of dumb air animal based things
the US attached a load of firebombs to bats
and deployed them into japan so they'd roost in houses
except that the US boats were equally nice places to roost
plucky ridge
There's a reason there's an old adage in show biz. "Never work with children or animals"
gentle moss
i mean i think it's a pretty obvious thing not to do
attaching firebombs to something you can't control is generally not wise

i used to get beanos every year from my grandad

and before her, the other sister
vestal briar
I got them all for Christmas until I was like 12
bleak lintel
he does consultancy, it's all sort of like what counts as slander, what counts as libel and so on, basically teaches them how not to get into trouble
gentle moss
law consultency sounds less shit than being a layer
i imagine you have to really know your shit though
vestal briar
Traveling in jobs sound fun until it isn't
vestal briar

gentle moss
kind of like how being an IT consultant must be a bit nicer than being the actual IT in some ways
since you can just advise on the shit and fuck off

yeah consultancy is pretty smooth

Don't they get far overpaid
gentle moss
yes

self-employed consultancy

however i like implementing them less
i remember the company we share a floor with once got in a "wellness consultant"
to talk about how to have better office behaviours
like grouping types of day people are having into colours

dude was paid fucking Β£250 an hour
undone berry
I don't mind the first part of implementing stuff, but making it suitable for users is so tedious

I think one of the most payed ones are 1k an hour for large engineering projects
gentle moss
it was pretty bullshit charlie
i saw some of the "reading material"
it some happy clappy "new management" type shite
vestal briar
Imagine how boring that job must be though
gentle moss
thing is, like a year or so on
undone berry
Id like to give a job that's just 100% about bullshitting a try
vestal briar
But for Β£250 I wouldn't be complaining
gentle moss
it hasn't change anything in their work behaviours
at all
so it clearly doesn't work
and he's just suckered up 3 days worth of training
vestal briar
Who would actually hire them
undone berry
Morons in business
vestal briar
It's obvious bs from miles away
gentle moss
HR.
managers who don't understand why their staff are grumpy.
probably that 2nd one
undone berry
You meet the kind of people who would hire them very quickly when you start working
gentle moss
perhaps you should stop calling them bad at their jobs the day you're having a fun corporate day out
"you're all shit and need to work harder. have a nice time at the activity day!"
undone berry
That sounds fine. I see value in that. But just call it what it is and take everyone paintballing
Don't pretend it's more than it is
vestal briar
Make your staff more efficient by paying some magic man Β£1000 and forcing your staff to listen to bs all day!

vestal briar
3 meanings to that
gentle moss
keeping spirits up does seem like a tricky job

it's a chat client that has voice, video, streaming, multimedia, emoji, server, channel, etc, etc support
we're not talking about a skinny little IRC client here
i believe there are some projects for that type of thing
that are open
but i can't remember them offhand
they're also not popular because they're a wee bit crap
okay, so it'd be completely open source, so that's no revenue for a lot of work hours
people need money to survive, so couldn't commit as much time to it as they could if their job was to build a discord

what you're talking about does kinda exist. Matrix

synergy has for some reason remapped all my special characters
i can't write smoke on the water :/

It was just a very simple one but at least the strings don't make that rattling sound on the body anymore
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNq9gmY_Oz4 (intro riff)
gentle moss
if you've got rattling sounds perhaps your string action might be off
or do you mean fret buzz?
vestal briar
Yeah, that
When you press enough to not mute the strings but it rattles
Doing that with I think an E power chord is hard for me
vestal briar
Yeah
gentle moss
i still hate the F bar chords
rough sapphire
I love how people give me weird looks when i jam through the streets with my music , hahahaha

headset much?
i kind of hate when people listen to loud music in the street on a speaker or something, instead of headset.
you can get pretty decent cheap ones these days, i see no excuse to forcing everyone to listen to your music.
it's really not about the kind of music, although i have my preferences, but even if i like the music, i still find it rude to impose it on everyone.

Twitter autoplaying (looping) videos is the most irritating shit

You know the "technology connections" dude on youtube?
I think his sanity has shifted a little haha
frosty berry
I really like his videos
The latest series about video disks was a bit too involved though, but it's always highly informative.
gentle moss
i mean, i watched that whole thing in a binge watch
it's very interesting to see how corporate politics screwed them over

So I have my finished pc on my desk but i cant use it because i dont have the right display cable
Urghh

boot it up and imagine the GUI

Who needs an rtx 2080ti when you have magic mushrooms and a good imagination
gentle moss
what cables do you have?
verbal rivet
Hdmi, vga, display cable i think
gentle moss
and what do you need to produce?
verbal rivet
i need dvi
verbal rivet
its an old office pc im gradually upgrading
gentle moss
i think you could do a nasty splice
verbal rivet
oh?
verbal rivet
Or i could just go to currys tomorrow lmao
but carry on
i might just be impatient enough
how would i do thst
*that
gentle moss
sec, checking the pinouts
verbal rivet
Kk
gentle moss
okay, it'd have to be DVI-I
verbal rivet
Right, lemme check
verbal rivet
Yeah its dvi i
gentle moss
plus you'd basically being shoving cables in the DVI-I port of the card
like raw individual cables
verbal rivet
Shet
bleak lintel
I see this going well
verbal rivet
yeah lmao i think id rather just buy a dvi
gentle moss
you're looking at something like that
it's the sort of thing i'd do
which is probably a bad sign
:D
wheat lynx
It's worth a try...
gentle moss
because a VGA cable is cheap
and it's a fun project
you'd need a multi-meter and a soldering iron
just so your cuts on the VGA cable that you plan to shove into the DVI port are rigid
wheat lynx
But, then again, it (probably) won't work
gentle moss
it seems like a heck of a splice
i have like ~20 VGA cables in a box
so losing one is nothing
verbal rivet
Yeah tbh id have to set out on doing it tomorrow anyways, so i might as well just buy lmao
in fact why bother with cables
lemme just get some copper wires and do the job like a real man
gentle moss
enough old junk at work to actually try that splice at no risk <_<

I like the idea that you'd have to upload your passport photo to tweet
gentle moss
doesn't facebook already ask people to upload a form of ID on account creation?
i know they don't like fake namers anymore
undone berry
I think it might, but I don't think its required
although the last time I set up an account was like 2 years ago actually
gentle moss
i only set one up when it became clear average people moved away from MSN messenger
sand goblet
It doesn't
undone berry
I set one up because for some people messenger is literally the only way they communicate
gentle moss
yeah, exactly
rough sapphire
it does
I recently had to make a messenger account due to the above reasons
it asked me to "prove I'm using my real name" by uploading my ID
sand goblet
I've never seen that, and I made a fake account last year
rough sapphire
(I was, and fuck no I didn't)
gentle moss

I made an account that literally just exists for managing the facebook page for work
since I wasn't going to log into my own account there

I just went to make a fake account, and you do need a phone number as the first hurdle

at some point, its going to become mandatory to carry around a smartphone I'd guess (for people who want to operate like normal human beings)

undone berry
I've also accepted it
but I don't think you need to accept it yet
its not too difficult to avoid it

Did you really just said "Alexa fuck off"?

What was the reply...
gentle moss
"beeboop"

"beeboop"?
