@PatoSáinz Because browser testing. Because I have to support IE7 and I noticed a IE6 download. Because containerisation is fun.

It turns out that brutal treatments like, say, touching it with a spatula, or cooling down a vial of it in liquid nitrogen – you know, rough handling – make it detonate violently. I think that staring hard at it is OK, though.

also, you may want to mount your LEDs on something with a lower specific heat than wood, in case your LEDs heat up too much (look up their power draw on their datasheet)

they hardly warm up

@Bob The Fire HDX 8.9" (4th gen / 2014) is exactly what I needed with my slow-ass Internet connection (slow meaning, it's up to 33 Mbps when I get full speed with carrier aggregation at 2 AM, but it's awful during congested hours) :D

Might replace them with a pair of these dx.com/p/… in future ;p

Download 1080p Amazon Video, then watch it on my HDTV via HDMI. Can't do that on a PC.

@JourneymanGeek so 7.5W @ 12V, that'd be 625 mA

@allquixotic ah.

> In general, we chemists shy away from compounds with lots of single bonds between the elements on the right-hand side of the periodic table. Those guys tend to have a lot of electron density on them, and bonding between them is a careful, arm’s-length affair, sort of like porcupines mating.

@Bob So AtRn is something you don't want to touch with a 10 mile spatula?

Or does it need the other type of -ion with it... like Chlorine

> The perchlorate anion is in a high oxidation state, and what goes up, must come down. A rapid drop in oxidation state, as chemists know, is often accompanied by loud noises and flying debris, particularly when the products formed are gaseous and have that pesky urge to expand. If you take the acid up to water-free concentrations, which is most highly not recommended, you’ll probably want to wear chain mail, because it’s tricky stuff.

> You can even go further and distill out the perchloric anhydride (dichlorine heptoxide) if you have no sense whatsoever. It’s a liquid with a boiling point of around 80 C, and I’d like to shake the hand of whoever determined that property, assuming he has one left.

@qasdfdsaq release price for the oculus is out

and I've built my bias lighting ;p

:D

All the interesting things happen when I'm offline, obviously

Including losing/forgetting my camera bag on the plane. Twice.

o0

dude

you totally need to do what I do and run a checklist ;p

"Checklist for getting off plane:
Bag.
Phone.
Run around like a headless chicken screaming "We're all gonna die!""

9:47 AM

Kinda like that, yes

"Wallet right pocket, phone left pocket, keys. Keys? at home. Backpack?"

I do checklists for packing/preparing, but never for getting off a bus/plane

I have a horribad memory

I always do that mentally, but I'm so not accustomed to flying with two cabin bags that I keep forgetting one of the cabin bags

and I used to have terrible panic attacks

I'm very good at telling just cause it "feels wrong" if I don't have my phone/keys/wallet in the correct pocket, or backpack on my back.

9:48 AM

and blah

It's just been like, 3 years since I carried the camera case as well, so yeah.

I need to drop by the army store tommorrow

I was supposed to on monday

I've cured my panic attacks on planes

Instead of fearing turbulence, I treat it as a free rollercoaster ride

And it becomes fun

oh, I used to have them in crowds in general

It seems everyone I get on well with has or has had some form of social anxiety

9:49 AM

unrelatedly

tomshardware.com/news/remix-os-2-pc-mac,30921.html#xtor=RSS-181

Rather curious :-P

lol

Could be that people with social anxiety share similar interests ;p

Perhaps, or just tolerate each other more than they tolerate the general public xD

At one point in my life everyone I got on well with was a lesbian.

lol

Anyhow, 26 hours of travelling, and eating and drinking nothing but airline food, I'm now home

Unfortunately the only food I have at home is ice cream. On the plus side, I have ice cream.

9:54 AM

I don't think I know any actual lesbians.

Few of my friends are pansexual or Bi tho

Check my Facebook friends list if you need a starting point

I don't use facebook XD

It's public

10:31 AM

...forget the checklist, you need to start tying things to your wrist :P

My microsoft band was tied to my wrist. I still managed to leave that at home.

@qasdfdsaq Where you made the mistake was untying it from your wrist :P

Hmm... that would be a good use for those giant bags of cable ties too...

Lol

Big problem with things permanantly tied to your wrist is when you have to go through airport security seven times in a day :-/

oh yea, forgot about that

Didn't set off any of the metal detectors though. Even when I had plenty of metal on me.

Also the BAnd needs to be untied from your wrist for charging, but that's another issue

10:44 AM

hmm, weird

I usually have the opposite problem.

@qasdfdsaq Do they still use metal detectors?

I thought they were all about the xrays and body scanners now.

Even minute metal films (e.g. inside a fishermans friend package) set the alarms off

Nah, the only airport I went through today that even had the body scanners was some small-town airport in Thailand, and it wasn't in use

@Hennes I'm pretty sure different airports have different sensitivity settings, plus they change over time

Aye.

Regardless there were tons of people getting pulled over for manual searches cause they set off the alarms, yet it didn't go off at all despite me going through with my wallet, passport, watch, belt, and a pocket full of coins.

My claim to fame was coming out of a secure area in France having entered through a metal detector, and accidentally finding a knife in my pocket I forgot I had.

10:54 AM

lol

I tend to wear a jacket or hoodie when I fly

anything like a watch or wallet goes in there

Meh, from the minute I got off in Singapore to the minute I got off back in the UK, I hadn't worn my jacket a single time. Just too warm.

Oh the idea is I have something I can put through the Xray scanner with space for my incidentals

I bought a new wallet for that.

Instead of cards in one pocket, notes all over the place, and a pocket of coins and headphones, and crappy paper/receipts everywhere, everything now fits neatly inside the one wallet. So when going through the scanners I just have to take out the one wallet, phone, and watch.

Usually stick them beside the laptop since they always make you take that out of your bag now too

Mind you my house keys and six USB sticks were in my jacket pockets the whole time

It was handy for that, if nothing else :-P

11:12 AM

Grah. Upload profile picture to an agency (size 167x167).
Error. Picture is to small. It needs to be at least 160x160

Now I do not have an A+ in math, but the last time I checked 167 > 160

@Hennes They might be talking points rather than pixels.

Or just had a really bad website. :P

It worked after I scaled it up to 200x200 (just added a white border).
And then they made me select a small square of about 170x170 from it.

@MichaelFrank tf is a point

So typo in at least desk ?

11:32 AM

@Bob tf?

Oh... a point is 1/72th of an inch.

So at 72dpi, 1 pixel = 1 point.

@MichaelFrank Oh, those points. If they're talking points without specifying resolution then that's useless too :P

11:48 AM

sEXY pOINTS

@bOB: i'M REALLY LIKING THESE NEW HEADPHONES.

So much that they broke your capslock :P

@qasdfdsaq Which headphones are they?

@Bob Sennheiser CX 5.00G

Ahh. In-ears.

Earphones... eh

Well, I wasn't going to buy a full-size over the head set at an airport on a panic buying spree

11:52 AM

I wonder how they compare to the cheaper CX 3.00.

Or the budget CX 300 ii :P

Apparently, less bassy and more balanced

trustedreviews.com/sennheiser-cx-5-00-review

Also, they're the best they had at the shop. Everything else was cheap trash or Beats. Wait, that's redundant.

"Non-removable cable" is listed under cons... wow

I don't think I've ever seen removable in-ears.

@qasdfdsaq Well, no. Beats isn't cheap :P

Many high-end sets have them (Most of the Shures for example. My se535s did, so do the 430s)

@Bob Cheap trash with an expensive price tag? :-P

lol, that works too

I was genuinely worried when I walked into the shop and all I saw was a huge stack of Beats headphones and speakers

But yeah, came across this hidden gem in the under-the-counter stack

Proper 3-button Android remote too

Honestly not bad for £60-ish

Also, in answer to your previous question of what can you get for $5, well the answer is the freebie disposable earbuds airlines throw at you

11:59 AM

@qasdfdsaq That's $5?!

lol

Well no, it's free. But they look like the sort of stuff you'd get for $5 from a corner store

@qasdfdsaq I really wonder what you'd think of the Pistons now.

They go for something like 20 USD.

These aren't even that bad looking. I took a pair off the plane but haven't tried them

It's been over 10 years since I bought any earphones costing less than £50

@qasdfdsaq Heh. I've picked up $2 earphones from random discount shops on a lark. They're... put it this way, I wouldn't use it for phone calls at landline quality.

Economy class gets these pairs of in-ears that look like the sort you'd get with a crappy phone. Premium class and above gets you over-the-head ones but no idea if they're actually better. Never bothered using them.

Got any reviews of the Pistons?

12:03 PM

Uhh... I'll be afk for probably 30-60 mins

Some people say the v2 is better than the v3

Phone typing and searching sucks :/

lol

Theses are the ones you get on the plane

Honestly, I've seen worse

Got some fake ones like these in China for $3 once:

Umm... wow. These are TERRIBLE.

I've always seen canal-phones as the hallmark of quality but these are literally the worst I have ever heard.

Eh, they're a handy on-the-go set that survives hash treatment pretty well.

I like the mic placement and the shape (ear comfort) of v3, but v2 had better isolation, and I think I prefer its sound a little bit

And they are pretty much sold out 100% of the time

Sigh, I wonder if I'll ever get a notification email from this flipkart.com/mi-in-ear-headphone-piston-design/p/… ;p

@HackToHell ..they're always available

Not in india :/

@HackToHell I don't exactly buy them in aus

ibuygou, banggood, etc etc

Oh stores like dx ?

1:26 PM

I don't know if dx stocks them or if it's trustworthy for this

1:40 PM

@Bob They look a bit cheesy, but I like the button placement

Two on one side, one on the other, makes it a lot easier than trying to feel three buttons on the same side through a pair of gloves

@qasdfdsaq that's good, but the fact it's at the split in the cord... that's annoying

v3 puts all buttons in one side (harder to feel) but it's on the right cord after the split

Eh, I don't mind it actually, I'd prefer them to be lower down than most

Need to go through all my photos at some point, see if there are any more gems in there like this one

Dec 25 '15 at 16:30, by qasdfdsaq

@qasdfdsaq I tend to use the mic to figure out which side's which :P

Lol.

I suppose if there's no shape difference, though getting it wrong is hardly a big issue

These Sennheisers I have different housings so it'd be hard to fit one into the wrong ear

Same with my previous Shures and a-Jays.

@JourneymanGeek Isn't that more just lighting lighting than bias lighting?

(As in, shouldn't the room be lit?)

@qasdfdsaq yea, v3 also has a slant. v2 doesn't

1:47 PM

@qasdfdsaq maaybe

@Bob I can see why that might make the V2 more confusing

but most folk use it in darker rooms

Blargh, 26 hours on the move really messes with your body clock. I have no idea what time of day it is, all I know is it isn't the time of day I feel like it is

@JourneymanGeek I'm tempted to use it in the darker parts of my room, since behind my monitors is actually the darkest bit

LOL. I commented "Your website offers WordPress developers for hire. imobdevtech.com/HireDevelopers/Hire-Wordpress-Developer. Why don't you hire one of them yourself?"

1:51 PM

@JourneymanGeek I thought the idea was to allow your monitors to "blend in" to a similar brightness background

DavidPostill

Was that a bit harsh? ;)

@qasdfdsaq in darker rooms especially

I'm still experimenting with placement and mounting

"As of now, we are a team of 100+ masterminds working together & successfully finished 500+ projects of global clients. "

And they can't manage a bit of Google SEO?

Does this look a spammish question to anyone else?

That's...er... my setup >_>

But as you can see it's especially dark behind the monitors, so I'm temped by some bias lighting. It screws with my eyes without additional illumination

antec has a prebuilt one but its costlier and most reviews are that its not very bright. I have something like 20 LEDs per monitor

I mounted them seperately

@qasdfdsaq if you're lazy, and want something to test, ikea dioders arn't bad

they're warm white though, and most folk recommend 65K lights.
