SpaceX finally testing pad B

Whole lotta water

[vapid smelt]

Damn they are using geysers to launch shit now

[winged spire]

Rocket powered water cannon

It uses methane/oxygen gas generators to generate the pressure to push the water

Pretty much a rocket engine atp

Incoming EPA fine lmao

Dumping potable water is dangeorus !!!!

[vapid smelt]

Even more so in the middle of nowhere Texas

[harsh quartz]

….why?

[winged spire]

It’s already there

Starship uses methane and oxygen as its propellant so it just taps off the main tank farm

[olive stream]

Does anyone know how I can seperate the sensors tab in HWiNFO so that when I minimize the main tab, the sensors tab doesn't minimize too?

[austere shale]

So what’s the chemical people are putting on their orage iPhones to make them that fun pink color?

[winged spire]

MEK maybe

Just a strong solvent

[vapid smelt]

from what im reading it was some batches with bad QC for the seal and hydrogen peroxide

[winged spire]

Yeah high percentage peroxide could do that as well

You could build that PC and ship it off to someone for custom painting for cheaper.

[polar fern]

MSI G241, why are the color profiles different on the literal identical models?

All of the settings are the same

These monitors previously set together next to each other for almost 4 years with no discernible visual difference. Now one of them has a slightly washed out, look to it.

Is it maybe display port versus HDMI or something?

Neither of them have exposure to anything that could have damaged the panels or anything that I could think of that would make a difference

[polar fern]

intentional

purge the market, create monopoly

[reef silo]

As I said, god I hope not

[polar fern]

force people to use specific hardware, spy on everything

this is why we need market regulation

but that would mean all the political donors would get upset and not give their millions to whomever

and good luck producing vehicles with no controller hardware

like i said, all planned. its a purge.

[split swift]

holy yap

[polar fern]

?

i predicted this early last year.

[split swift]

use an ad blocker

[polar fern]

why are you using reddit?

[split swift]

you can use an ad blocker on mobile

[polar fern]

if you use ad block, they will paywall. quit telling people to use ad block. jfc people have no sense in their heads.

[split swift]

you can still block ads

[polar fern]

if you do not want ads, don't use the internet is my advice, because you're making things worse for the rest of us.

[split swift]

there is apps you can use, or you can do DNS blocking if you have your own DNS server (its free to do if you have a spare pc)

[split swift]

he did take it too far lol, but biker did start it

[polar fern]

so the different color encoding for the one monitor is because it's connected to HDMI. interesting.

[tender glade]

?

I don’t know if you read the same conversation I did, but there’s no reason to bring someone’s profile into a discussion

[split swift]

by "start it" I mean by just being rude

[split swift]

no, I dont mean going down that path

it went from giving/getting help to heating things up a bit, whats his name took offence and made it worse lol

can anyone make sense of this?

[strange elk]

If they paywall i dont use their site. Duh.

I certainly dont pay forbes, new york times or bloomberg

[wind dust]

paying to use a news site where you can find the exact same story on any free site is so goofy

[wind dust]

of course i start to get a different issue

[polar fern]

2.5 ssd not workable?

[wind dust]

?

[polar fern]

the credit card sized ones, you cant use one of those?

[wind dust]

i got the hdd for free

well i bought the xbox 10 years ago and dont use it so basically free

[polar fern]

i mean to replace it & get better reliability

they have some cheapo ones at office depot

[wind dust]

i literally use this hdd for 10 year old games and emulation i genuinely do not care if it fails lol

[polar fern]

ah ok

nevermind, all fo office depot' stuff is out of stock

thats not good

i bought the 32 gig ram upgrade kit from OWC for my mac mini. it wss like $86 usd at the time

https://www.dexerto.com/entertainment/meta-patents-ai-that-takes-over-a-dead-persons-account-to-keep-posting-and-chatting-3320326/ yup... NO please, no

[polar fern]

sigh

[wanton apex]

already training AI to replace me at work, sure why not

imma just lay over here in a box in preparation

[polar fern]

"ai" cannot replace people

its a toy, not a tool

[plain gale]

its a tool, not a person

[polar fern]

pushing to use "ai" for real work is like pushing to use a bagel for automobile tires.

except bagels are useful for food.

[plain gale]

its not useful for all work but it is useful for some

[split swift]

i agree

ai isnt completely bad, companys are just pushing it to where it does not belong

[wanton apex]

horse drawn carriage vs ai driven taxi

[polar fern]

for things like process control and model analysis, having automated system integration can be useful, but otherwise its just hot air inflating the bubble

[wanton apex]

anywho, context is currently the thing that isn't replaceable if you work in a dev stack

or if you have to physically do something

[split swift]

llms like copilot is actually not that bad if Microsoft would stop putting it into everything, the app/web browser is actually really good

[polar fern]

or creative.

[split swift]

yeah thats just a place where it does not belong tho

it can help with coding but dont rely on it

[wanton apex]

@split swift have you tried Antigravity yet or Claude in Vs code yet?

[split swift]

iv not, iv used copilot mostly

[wanton apex]

you need to review it, certainly but we're past "it just does boilerplate"

once you start looking at claude or gemini for creating then implmenting plans we've gone well past comments in vs //implement a function to blah

[polar fern]

all the while cooking the planet & taking water away from towns

[wanton apex]

and to be clear I'm speaking as someone who's been doing web/desktop/data for the last 30 years

[rustic tundra]

intel is a brand that turns rocks into heaters

[wanton apex]

@polar fern on that we can agree, but $$$ over people

ultimately a company's mission is to make money and return profits to shareholders

[polar fern]

they want all these compute centers all over the country here in the US, but we do not have the infrastructure to support it, even if emissions & water use were not an issue

brittle power + increasing weather issues added on top of inadequate power production & transmission as well

[wanton apex]

I'd hate to be a young person in the world right now trying to figure out what to do

im in a good spot rn

[polar fern]

[plain gale]

i really want openai to go make a gpt-5.3-codex-mini model. the 5.3 and 5.2 models are my favorite atm ngl. using copilot on vsc

[wanton apex]

@split swift I'm glad you've found a good spot, what do you do? I'm concerned for my great-nephews

yah, copilot is a horse drawn buggy now

i mean, under the sheets it's gpt, but it can't plan or execute

[split swift]

well im finishing up uni, im about half way into my last semester, I work as IT for a medical company thats been rapidly growing. Iv already gotten a paid off house on paid off land and my car is about to be paid off (none of these things are big expensive things)

im 22 years old currently

[wanton apex]

medical IT is where I've been the last 23 years

/em knocks on wood

[plain gale]

copilot is not just gpt anymore and hasnt for a while now. you can choose to use most big models. openai, gemini, claude etc.

[split swift]

I really enjoy it, the company I work for is clinic and pharmacy based over 4 states so we go around doing tickets where ever they pop up, I do field work

[split swift]

yeah copilot is different now

[wanton apex]

i wonder if that's an artificial work limitation

Anybody know how I can plug this cable into this display

[split swift]

its a ribbon cable

[winged spire]

I guess theoretically you could

If you have to ask it’s not gonna go well though

[wind dust]

i have to restart the entire game

but once i get to the problem mission hopefully itll work

also love the fact cutscenes are 10x louder then the game

[short rock]

search up "how to plug in eDP cable" or better yet watch a teardown video for your laptop so you understand how to do it

[wind dust]

it didnt work

i am just going to put my hdd into my xbox and play it on that

all this to play the worst mw game

[rare otter]

My discord gaming setup

[cyan pier]

ahh yes, it's always that square monitor

[rare otter]

Thats where i move discord to when I vc

Then i open up obs on my main so I can use projector mode to see my xbox 360 gameplay

And stream it

Or I can stream on my pc and still have discord on the square monitor

[polar fern]

i would take a 16:10 display over a 4:3

you get the height and the widthness

also why are you wearing street shoes and have them on your desk?

[rare otter]

Got a habit of doing thag

[polar fern]

we don't wear our street shoes inside, let alone when streaming 😛

[rare otter]

Lmao

[rare otter]

4 by 3 Works suprisingly great for discord

I would argue it works even better then 16 by 9

Idk the smaller interface fitd

[polar fern]

my thinkpad was 16:10, and my old high res CRT's were configured to have a 16:10 with the black insert spacers

Is this a normal temp for 9800x3D playing cs2 on high settings? It goes between 60-70 degrees while playing cs2 and up to 80 when first launching into a match

[sturdy dune]

should be fine

[fossil frost]

7000 and 9000 series amd TRY to run at 90c.. so running below that is fine

[sturdy dune]

your cpu isnt in real danger until its past 90c

[fossil frost]

its a 9000 series AMD, its supposed to run AT 90c

[sturdy dune]

oh lmao

[vapid smelt]

The x cpus are made to boost as high as possible and reach 90c basically a built in overclock

[shut oxide]

Okay I ran cinebench r23 on it multiple times and the hottest it got was like 83, thats an okay temp?

[sturdy dune]

100c is still automatic shut off on those chips right?

[fossil frost]

its supposed to run AT 90... so anything below that is fine

[shut oxide]

Okay I just wasn’t sure if I applied enough paste, but if that seems good I’ll leave it

Don’t wanna re open it unless I have to

[fossil frost]

temp on its own wont tell you anything with a 9000 series.. you need to check temp vs clock speed

[shut oxide]

These new amd chips have such a weird shape

[fossil frost]

if clock speed is 5.2ghz, and its at 90c and 99% usage.. then thats fine.. if its at 80c, at 1% usage and averaging 800mhz... thats not fine

[shut oxide]

I’ll tell u gimme one sec

[pallid falcon]

That is sad.

[shut oxide]

I’ll run cinebench one more time

[vapid smelt]

Then we should hug to make it feel better

You can get a good USB mic with a desk arm for $30-50 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/KJ4NnQ/akg-k240-mkii-headphones-2058x00190 and some good headphones

[strange elk]

Desk arms dont work in vr in my experience. Just my use case anyway

[vapid smelt]

Just yell louder

or... shotgun mic, a load of servos, an arduino, and then several days/weeks of writing some sort of recognition software that continuously points the mic at your face

Hello. I was curious. I am building a laptop for data processing at work and have it down to the processor. I can get a rysen 7 or and i7.

[pallid falcon]

you

what kind of “data processing”

also there are dozens of different ryzen 7’s and intel I7’s

you might as well just be saying “cpu”

It’s maitinece or security breach

Although YouTube doesn’t have scheduled matinence

Too much time invested in it. Friends use it. I also don't have the issues Linus has/had. I've also tried both.

In general I like Plex better but my roommate says jellyfin works better for remote watch parties

[austere slate]

3080

Haha I get exactly the same numbers

[neon mesa]

it's a 3090, though a 2x8 variant

[austere slate]

Oh

[neon mesa]

a 3x8 would be a lot more fire

[austere slate]

Hmm surprising it pulls the same wattage and clocks

[neon mesa]

yea, it has only 2 8 pins

[austere slate]

Although mine is the Asus tuf 12gb so it's a bit higher power than the regular

Interesting that they can feed more cuda cores and vram chips within the same power envelope for more perf

[polar fern]

Gpu ram go brrrrr

[small oasis]

https://klipy.com/gifs/brrrrt-bret

[mystic tundra]

mine has the 12v high power wattage rupture connector

[neon mesa]

Scaling with wattage is logarithmic and you quickly reach a diminishing return

3080 at 345w is well within that range kek

It's less that the 3090 is sipping wattage and more that the 3080 is taking way more power than it needs

[austere slate]

Hmm. You're right

I tend to underclock it quite a bit these days to .900v and increase the clock to 1935mhz as well as the memory. That gets me about 4% better perf at around 300-320W

Works well even in demanding games. Except star citizen, where it wants just stock

Hi

[heavy cloud]

is 1440p oled good to buy for basic competitive games, or is it just useless because it lowers frames

[hasty salmon]

hi

What gpu u got?

[pallid falcon]

Monday was a holiday in Canada. Also, you are not guaranteed a reply. If they want to reply, they will.

Oh sad

They dont reply for partnerships?

[alpine gale]

Like many organizations, they likely receive 100's of unsolicited business emails per month, perhaps per week. 🤷

Whats good yall

[icy oak]

I might build another computer.

[kindred arrow]

nice what specs you thinking of

[icy oak]

9800X3D, 32GB DDR5, RTX 4090 (there's a Dell OEM one near me, and I know Dell's OEM GPUs are solid, and it's a semi-decent price)

ProArt PA602 case, ProArt LC420, ProArt X870E. I'm going for super clean with no RGB, and a more professional look.

I'm willing to spend more for a good design

[kindred arrow]

that proart look is sick, the dell 4090 is a nice sleeper pick too

[misty kindle]

sup

[icy oak]

Corsair RM1000x should be plenty for those specs. I used to have a 7800X3D and a 4090 build running on an 850 watt SFX power supply. But I sold it to pay debts

[kindred arrow]

1000w is plenty for that, sucks about selling the old one though

[icy oak]

Yeah. But sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do for the bag.

The 4090 was such a good card too. It was my first big purchase after getting the apartment

VR, 4K gaming, whatever I wanted. This new build, I'm also gonna toss a capture card into it so I can stream my PS3 to Discord. Since Remote Play on PS3 (I figured out how to get it to work on my custom rig even though it officially is a Sony Vaio only thing) is so restricted, and RPCS3 doesn't work well with some of the games I play

[harsh quartz]

we love microshit

windows smart app control updated this week and its blocking a lot of random shit, apparently including terraria. guess its getting turned off

Hm?

Could you elaborate please? Because the only news I read about AI is the companies falling apart. 😏

[mint sandal]

New tpu is developed upcoming generation is expected to support clusters of up to 9,216 chips per pod, delivering over 42.5 Exaflops of compute power

[drowsy marsh]

Is gearup booster legit for console asking for a friend?

[icy oak]

I'm guessing that's good for... Something.

[mint sandal]

People think it will lead to Agi

[icy oak]

This again? Jesus Christ...

AGI is NGH. Not Gonna Happen.

[mint sandal]

Btw alethia isnt really ai in a way as its basically a math algorithm

[icy oak]

Especially with all the pushback against AI as a whole and the delightful collapse of OpenAI.

[mint sandal]

Oh openai is collapsing due to progress google has been making with deepmind

OpenAi has to rent space snd doesnt own any infrastructure

[icy oak]

It's also due to shareholder skepticism about AI's utility beginning to take hold.

[mint sandal]

Will add googles project did an amazing feat tho

Solved 13 Erdos problems

[icy oak]

Is there a point to it all? How does AI benefit us as a society? How is AI useful to the average Joe?

[mint sandal]

Cancer research which google is doing with several models

[icy oak]

MedGemma. I've heard of it. Along with the whole protein folding thing.

However, most AI being pushed today is absolutely useless. Solutions looking for problems or "solutions" that actually CREATE problems

[strange elk]

People say it can be good for learning coding

I dont say that but if used properly maybe it can

[mint sandal]

Would be alphafold

[icy oak]

I'm not entirely against AI, to be clear. But you have to admit that most of it is pointless or malicious.

Especially generative models.

[mint sandal]

Id only want for stuff like identifying ways to make super materials with less defects

[icy oak]

The AI Overview in Google search is useless and often WRONG. Image and video generation models plagiarize so hard it isn't even funny.

AI chatbots are either useless (most customer "support" ones) or dangerous (parasocial relationships and addiction).

[mint sandal]

Its severely limited by google they do it purposely

[icy oak]

Why would I want ChatGPT or Gemini or Copilot to "write" stuff for me? Emails take me like 2 minutes, if even. For making stories, I can just write it myself and bounce ideas off of friends. And for music? Suno falls into the same plagiarism pit as models like Veo3 and Sora.

And no. AI does NOT make art more accessible to those with disabilities. Because art is one of the most accessible hobbies to begin with. I've seen beautiful paintings done by people using their MOUTHS because they can't move their arms and legs. There are so many ways to make art. Generative AI doesn't make anything. It just smashes stuff together.

If AI is the future, then let it be a future where it'll actually be used for more stuff like AlphaFold and MedGemma, instead of Suno and Sora.

[mint sandal]

Fr fr I want disruptive tech like carbon nano tubes replacing silicon

[icy oak]

Or better prosthetic designs that are more affordable to the masses, and more fluid and natural in their motions.

[mint sandal]

Ngl could possibly regrow a limb because of alphafold

[summer folio]

Chat, should I get Facebook Meta Max? I mean, it's only 600$/month, wörth it? n

[icy oak]

But then that gets into ethical concerns.

[icy oak]

Fuck no 😂

[mint sandal]

If theres no clones tho and its done with gene editing

[still yacht]

Guys, when testing in Postman, don't send text within quotation marks. It took me two weeks to figure this out.

[icy oak]

That's another thing that I'd love to see more progress on. Genetic diseases that destroy the body over time could become HISTORY. though that also goes into ethical concerns with eugenics

[icy oak]

What's Postman?

[still yacht]

api test app

[icy oak]

I'm curious

[still yacht]

get post put delete exc

[icy oak]

Ah. I see. I may not be the most knowledgeable in software but that makes sense.

[mint sandal]

Yup google helping in that regard

[fossil frost]

what?

[icy oak]

So it's mainly for website feature testing? To probably oversimplify it.

[kindred arrow]

deepmind is basically carrying the useful ai stuff right now lol

[mint sandal]

Fucking love Demis lol

[fossil frost]

postman is used when devs what to test the backend, before the frontend exists, or instead of the front end, because its quicker to use postman to make sure you can see the apis are returning what you want them to return and behaving in the way you want them to do. its a very powerful tool. saying "dont use quotes" is an incredibly broad and general statement though, which is mosre often than not, incorrect, and will only be correct under very specific use cases

[icy oak]

I don't use any AI if I can avoid it. I don't really "need" to use it, my job doesn't force me to use it.

[fossil frost]

cant say for certain without seeing both your backend and your tests, but that sounds to me, like a badly made backend

FYI: bruno is better, more light weight, and open source, with all the same features of postman

[icy oak]

Good to know if I ever go into web development.

[kindred arrow]

yeah bruno is sick, postman is way too bloated now

[fossil frost]

also.. if adding a " in your request breaks your API, you should build your API to handle that, rather than changing the test... because nothing stops me from now using that broken request to go and attempt to exploit your api

based on what you have said, i believe i could probably leak info you dont want leaked, SQL inject, or at the very least, get your application to DDOS its self, based on what you have said... handle your edge cases

[mint sandal]

@kindred arrow have you seen the specs of v8 of googles tpu

[kindred arrow]

yeah it's 3nm and split into sunfish for training and zebrafish for inference

[fossil frost]

what you dont understand is, im a tech lead at a large SaaS company, ive been a software dev for 22 years.. i do understand how easily i could exploit what you have told me

[oak pier]

you don't have to own something to own something, you just have to give the person who owns it enough money

[polar jungle]

he owns an investment firm that is heavily vested in persona

[fossil frost]

dont even have to do that, you just have to own more debt than half of the value of the company (hostile takeover)

persona as a company is scary, their ToS is strangely vague about when they keep IDs for what purpose

service improvement…

they also like to use terms like “usually” or “most of the time” in their tos whenever your face gets deleted immediately or after few days/weeks

[stark idol]

#1106613567966429224

[mystic tundra]

pretty sure it’ll at least end up like some people will stay in their databases for years when their IDs should’ve been deleted stated in their ToS cough discord

So Discord wants to self-destruct.

Lame

Someone should -redacted-

[elfin jetty]

Join fluxer. Better than discord

Fuck discord.

[mystic tundra]

i’m looking for le alternatives

teamspeak doesn’t look too appealing, it has a lot of limitations similar to discord

some thing better like streaming but you always have to pay for a server or group

like as an owner

[mystic tundra]

yk they break their own ToS about erasing photos of your id or face after X amount of time

the breach contained thimgs they should’ve erased long time ago

they didn’t compensate anyone

[elfin jetty]

oh of course. thinking they get rid of that shit after you send it to them is laughable

[mystic tundra]

it was their promise to erase them after certain amount of time

[elfin jetty]

coming from a corpo, that means nothing

[mystic tundra]

where are governments fining discord massively

also why shall we respect discord’s ToS when they break it themselves?

[hazy parrot]

they only have to agree to the tos as users

[mystic tundra]

we have a an agreement and nope it only counts for users not discord

[hazy parrot]

since discord server data is not accessible from url, they needed some excuse to start scraping data

[feral island]

What yall think of my collection of plane patches so far?

[hazy parrot]

thats too much money sitting on the table

and now they have it

these age prediction algorithms are first and foremost data scrapers

if they function poorly or buggy thats all the proof you need

[mystic tundra]

i thought meta/fb was bad

this is another level

gov id/ biometrics to use a service you had access to before w any email

sadly most people will most likely do it

then they get caught in one of the tens of breaches that happen every year

the actual number of breaches may be higher tho as not all companies report them

someone could take a loan on your name with your id and biometrics

oh what’s next? they’ll ask for your birth number?

so in case a breach happens the hackers will be absolutely able to get loans on you?

[hazy parrot]

they were right that most people wont need to submit a scan or id

do any of these tech discords we in have a nsfw channel?

okay maybe the gross linux ones have a couple

[mystic tundra]

this is just a step until they’ll require id or face pic just to chat

look at the history of roblox

it was at first only for people that want to use mic

now you cannot even chat

both roblox and discord use persona

both use similar braindead excuses now

you see the pattern no?

[hazy parrot]

discord legally had to comply to some degree

[mystic tundra]

they already had that, this decision to apply it on the world scale was their own

[hazy parrot]

keeps them out of random nations courtrooms I suppose, Im still airing on the side of persistent data scraping over some, malicious de-anonymized agenda

a corp does what makes the money

discord servers are effectively deepnet

[oak pier]

HAHAHA

[hazy parrot]

unscraped data I bet companies are already bidding billions for

[oak pier]

no, this is very much surface net bud

[hazy parrot]

its not indexed, it has no url

by definition, deepnet

[oak pier]

Private servers, mayhaps you could call those deepnet

[mystic tundra]

what is the difference between the two?

[oak pier]

servers like LTT you can find with a quick google search, far from deepnet

[hazy parrot]

its not darknet

[oak pier]

More than aware of that fact

if you can search two plain words, and have the link to the discord in under 10 seconds, you’d struggle to call that deepnet

literally “ltt discord” and one of the first links, boom done

[hazy parrot]

" whose contents are not indexed by standard web search-engine programs."

welp

[mystic tundra]

they neglect to a point where their actions could be considered malicious, they lie about what they hold, they lie about what they lost, they don’t compensate for what their lost, they don’t compensate for their lies

[oak pier]

looks pretty damn indexed to me

[hazy parrot]

our data isnt accessible to scrapers, at least not in any way you could reliably autonomously do

[oak pier]

Absolutely is

You think bots don’t regularly scrape all the biggest servers on discord?

dude you could get 90% of the chat logs in major servers just from Dyno

[mystic tundra]

spyware for example, their intent is usually money too same as corps

spyware is malware (malicious piece of software)

discord -> holds onto your data that they promise to not hold

[hazy parrot]

sure, but generally, at scale, its not feesable to authenticate all that bot traffic let alone to a comprehensive degree when user activity is logged publicly (to server owners anyway).

At scale, there is so much human user interaction discord can sell in one big wrapped box

[oak pier]

And they already can

Any user who has spent any amount of money on discord has their entire billing info saved and accessible to discord

[mystic tundra]

discord should be able to tell from your behaviour and bills that you’re of age

it’s what makes the biometric bs even more bs

[oak pier]

i’ve made grown ass men that act like 12 year olds, we are not nearly as identifiable by our actions online as you think

[hazy parrot]

cross site trackers are, well....normalized I guess

[oak pier]

Horrible, yes, a fact of our current reality, without a doubt

[hazy parrot]

but its pretty cool how paypal recognizes us on this device

and we dont need to login

[oak pier]

cookies are a great example of how people would sell almost all their privacy just for some convenience

if you removed cookies from existence tomorrow (through some theoretical magical means), people would be outraged

[mystic tundra]

well then asks those, there are genuinely people that had discord accounts for almost a decade and since they created their account they behaved pretty mature and discord asks them for verify with your face

[hazy parrot]

people would say the internet is broken

[mystic tundra]

and it estimates your age to be 13 years old based on your face

[oak pier]

doubt discord cares enough to divert resources towards that

[mystic tundra]

when you’re like 25

[oak pier]

i had my account falsely banned for being “underage” like 6 months ago, i created my account almost 8 years ago

[hazy parrot]

like I said, that function is just the public facing reason for persistent user data scraping

[oak pier]

I had to submit a photo of my ID to get unbanned

[hazy parrot]

human interaction data is where the money is now

[white finch]

same but discord didnt unban me

[mystic tundra]

i got terminated on this account for being underaged when i was refering someone else being underage

[oak pier]

I would have had to make my discord account at age 4 for it to even be possible for me to be underage

[white finch]

its really easy to report just dont even talk about numbers

[split swift]

i hate how ltt basically abandoned the discord :(

[mystic tundra]

i’ve been stating my age consistently on discord

and then they ban you based on 1 message they interpreted wrongly

honestly, eli do be one of us

[oak pier]

Nah he shows up pretty often, albeit for very short periods of time

he’s pretty busy with his day job, streaming, content creation, woman, etc

[hazy parrot]

its a spiritual connection

[oak pier]

we can telepathically feel his connection to the community

Eywa style

[split swift]

yeah thats fair, it just sucks that basically everyone at ltt does not talk here, hell, linus has not talked here since like 2017

yeah and it sucks

[oak pier]

Most of the recent LTT videos are insufferable

i just rewatch old content, and watch the channels of the people who left

live laugh love ZTT and Jakkuh

[split swift]

I only watch wan now days, im not a fan of the new content

iv been watching the shit out of ztt

[white finch]

ztt😭

[oak pier]

i think i’ve seen every video Jakkuh and Alex have released

[merry gull]

Fuck ZTT.

[split swift]

zip tie tuning, not zachs tech turf

[white finch]

ik

[merry gull]

oh thank god

[oak pier]

and Zip Tie Tech

[split swift]

i dont watch that one, just their car stuff

[oak pier]

ZTT and ZTT, not ZTT (defo not confusing)

[white finch]

those who know

[oak pier]

Pretty good content, i like their mentions of how content production works

i see a powercon connector and get excited

[split swift]

it feels like classic ltt

[oak pier]

It really truly does

[hazy parrot]

for the floods of people in this server its pretty amazing how....idk, cordial things are.

[oak pier]

I always loved the networking videos LTT did, and that’s like half of Jake’s videos

[split swift]

honestly, wan show is the only think keeping me on floatplane

[oak pier]

there’s a pretty tight knit community of regulars that help set that precedent

[split swift]

once I graduate uni, ill prob drop my subscription

[oak pier]

if you have an active group of people being respectful, most everyone else will fall in line or get pushed out

[gilded quest]

Blue names are all that matter tbh

[hazy parrot]

def an anomaly as far as a youtube community discord goes

[mystic tundra]

fake

green is the color of grass

[oak pier]

It’s not always so polite, but as a general rule it is

[split swift]

I just wish it was those who the community was based around would interact

[mystic tundra]

blue is the color of windows addiction

[gilded quest]

Blue is the color of blue

[oak pier]

i have way more non-windows machines than windows machines

[split swift]

"The floor is made of floor" type comment

[mystic tundra]

blue is the color of what displays emit*

[oak pier]

and red, and green

[gilded quest]

This floor is made of floor

[split swift]

https://tenor.com/view/dr-manhattan-gif-18899941

[mystic tundra]

no* floor is just roof and L

[oak pier]

and the other similar wavelengths due to CVD imperfections

[gilded quest]

Chemical Vapor Deposition

[oak pier]

they use CVD for display sub pixels right?

i know traditional LED diodes use it, but not sure on display subpixels

also why is it so hard to find 10awg C13 cables

all i could find was a single 12awg listing on amazon

[mystic tundra]

if i recall correctly i watched a video about blue leds

[oak pier]

i was using a 16awg, and fucker got toasty

[mystic tundra]

and it did have that

[oak pier]

By veritasium?

[mystic tundra]

yes

[oak pier]

Great video, i’ve rewatched it a couple times

[oak pier]

like 10awg c13 just does not exist apparently

not my fault i have a fog machine that can pull 1650w continuously

1800w peak

[mystic tundra]

uh nuh forgot to respond to this

it means citrus vacuum donkey

obviously

[oak pier]

that is a combination of words i didn’t think i’d ever hear

that might be a combination of words never written before

i also am promptly stealing that joke

[mystic tundra]

nooooooo mine

[oak pier]

finders keepers buckaroo

[split swift]

[oak pier]

let’s hope 12awg terminates to stage pin without issue

cause i don’t have any more stage pin to 5-15r

[split swift]

I weld it

[oak pier]

just a screw on termination, super simple

[split swift]

weld it

[oak pier]

easier than disconnecting two stage pins

[split swift]

:(

[oak pier]

stage pins have the grip of two gorillas

[split swift]

weld it nerd

[oak pier]

no

fire martial would get angy if i ran a welder in the theater

[split swift]

https://tenor.com/view/goku-dragon-ball-dragon-ball-z-meta-cooler-cooler-gif-1585080736105619618

[oak pier]

[split swift]

https://tenor.com/view/smiling-friends-psychicpebbles-pim-smiling-friends-pim-mr-boss-gif-1373626090718171797

[oak pier]

can i do that with unleaded solder and some liquid flux?

[split swift]

you spelt "weld" incorrectly

[oak pier]

i’m gonna give you brain surgery to remove the word weld from your vocabulary

[split swift]

https://tenor.com/view/chu2-bandori-bang-dream-welding-tamade-chiyu-gif-20908921

[oak pier]

also how does one safely transport a soldering iron that is battery powered

[split swift]

take out battery

[oak pier]

specifically the fantikk one with an integrated battery

[split swift]

turn it off

[oak pier]

what if i somehow turn it on and it burns down the whole theater

[split swift]

reload your previous save

[oak pier]

ah you right

(imma just remove the tip)

[vapid smelt]

could you also remove the 2 girls 1 cup video from mine?

[split swift]

na, keep it

[oak pier]

nah, out of my expertise

the definition of burned into my memory

https://tenor.com/view/aww-cute-animals-elephant-baby-gif-15400114

[oak pier]

[vapid smelt]

[split swift]

[oak pier]

it is something you will never forget, no matter how hard you try

[obsidian horizon]

oh wait is it what someone showed on on school computer when i was 12?

[mystic tundra]

21+*

[split swift]

this is how we know @obsidian horizon is a baby

[oak pier]

quite possibly

[obsidian horizon]

i think i think it was that

[oak pier]

Genuinely, any one of our age was subjected to it against our will

[vapid smelt]

nah at 18 you can watch xxx videos

[split swift]

its a video where 2 girls who love caca

[obsidian horizon]

https://tenor.com/view/goo-goo-ga-ga-gif-1461286522188905167

[oak pier]

I was too curious in my youth, I learned my lesson

[mystic tundra]

no alcoholism in selected states though

[obsidian horizon]

yes

[oak pier]

no alcoholism in any state*

federal minimum age to drink alcohol is 21 buddy

BARS is coming for ya

[split swift]

im 22, im fine

iv drank an entire cup of fireball before, pure fireball

[vapid smelt]

unless you do it at home with your parents

[obsidian horizon]

2 days ago i had videos of people dying in my instagram feed

[mystic tundra]

can i drink isopropyl alcohol and methanol at 18?

[split swift]

ur gonna die XD

[oak pier]

one of my coworkers got fired and had to go to court when he failed his BARS test

[split swift]

bruh

[oak pier]

you can do anything at least once

[oak pier]

BARS is no joke dude

if you get a red card, you’re royally fucked

[obsidian horizon]

you can also stab yourself atleast once in your lifetime

[mystic tundra]

mokey is going to die aaa

[oak pier]

just sit down and accept your fate

[split swift]

have you drank alot of fireball at once before?

[vapid smelt]

for sure full atuo 30-06

[oak pier]

big pharma doesn’t want you to know this one simple trick:

[mystic tundra]

no but i like doing a lot of 18+ illegal activities such as making homemade flamethrowers

[oak pier]

flamethrowers are actually surprisingly very legal, and have not that many regulations

[split swift]

bro, that shit hits like a tank, you are fine one sec then very dizzy the next

[obsidian horizon]

wtf is 18+ illegal activities

[oak pier]

i’ll let your imagination fill that in

knowing you, your imagination is probably mostly happy thoughts

[mystic tundra]

firing fireworks into someone’s windows

[white finch]

whats bars

[obsidian horizon]

great

[split swift]

things ppl say when you rap and its good

[oak pier]

program that sends in people between the ages of 18 and 20 that then attempt to buy alcohol, tobacco, or lottery tickets (with people under 18) , if you don’t ID them, they give you a red card, and you go to court

[white finch]

son

[mystic tundra]

false, it’s when you’re so rich that you can pay with bars instead of coins

[oak pier]

i always pass it though, i’m a good little ID checker

[obsidian horizon]

so its people like you that i see getting a whole mag emptied on them in reels

[white finch]

american problems

[split swift]

https://tenor.com/view/enojado-gif-6930705070173779193

[oak pier]

Very, last guy that failed at my work lost his job

had to pay a decent fine and do some community service too

[mystic tundra]

i’ve had that nightmare once or was it? i think when i was young we were firing fireworks and one flew at someone window/balcony

[oak pier]

All for not saying “can i see your ID”

[white finch]

thats sad tbh i can buy alcohol and no one checks id

[oak pier]

i’ve gotten good at spotting BARS kids tho

[mystic tundra]

my dad was responsible though

[oak pier]

they’re not hard to spot lol

[obsidian horizon]

happened to me

[oak pier]

they always look way too damn confident for how young they look, and only ever buy one thing

[obsidian horizon]

same here 😭

in europe you'll see some 14 year olds drinking alcohol

[white finch]

legal drinking age is stupid 🙏🙏

[mystic tundra]

man i once went to pick up my package and i asked “i’m here for a package” and the cashier thought which cigaros auto

[white finch]

14 is when they become addicts

[obsidian horizon]

i mean drinking is stupid itself

[white finch]

ive had my classmates come to school drunk

[oak pier]

I’m all for parents allowing their kids small amounts of alcohol prior to the legal drinking age, but kids under 21 shouldn’t be having open access to alcohol

[white finch]

i agree i dont drink

[obsidian horizon]

you never know who is gonna overconsume

[mystic tundra]

my classmate at 14-15 was drinking a whole bottle before school

[split swift]

na, drinking isnt bad if you do it responsibly

[mystic tundra]

ok then heroin too

[oak pier]

when i was a youngin my parents would let me try a sip of whatever they were drinking, promptly learned that the alcohol they drink tastes like shit

not everyone has good taste in alcohol

[obsidian horizon]

yeah i mean that but many people arent drinking responsibly

[split swift]

I love mix drinks

[obsidian horizon]

😭

[white finch]

i hate the people who drink just to get drunk

[split swift]

everything will be abused by someone

[white finch]

being drunk is not fun

[mystic tundra]

i would pass on everything that affects your reward centre

[oak pier]

Amaretto and coke my beloved

[mystic tundra]

even too much sugar

[split swift]

disagree, the aftermath of being drunk isnt fun

[obsidian horizon]

cant do shit

[oak pier]

depends on the kind of drunk you are

my aunt is fucking insufferable when drunk

[obsidian horizon]

fun for them not for others

[oak pier]

really great at ruining kids birthday parties

[white finch]

i think sometimes its fun but people who cant have fun without drinking i dont like

[split swift]

im the same as I am not drunk, a normal person lol, quiet if not having a conversation

[split swift]

yeah, drinking isnt my personality

[oak pier]

can’t say i make a habit out of getting drunk, not the biggest fan of alcohol in general

[obsidian horizon]

alcohol is a big problem in india when you have to listen to some drunk guy crying cuz his family beat the shit outta him

and yet he wont stop

[obsidian horizon]

i hate its taste

[mystic tundra]

i’ve got drunk from old rosechips - the life of sober 24/7

[split swift]

I dont make it a habit either, I do like me some alcohol tho but I dont drink that often, like once a week, if that

[oak pier]

ever tried amaretto?

[obsidian horizon]

first time hearing this name
