WE HAVE THROWN OFF THE YOKE OF BIG DRINK

Is SARAH MILLICAN'S SQUELCHY FANNY CUSTARD any good then?

Asking for a friend.

>>435769

You'd have to ask Gary Delaney.

>>435748
It's tempting but I have a sneaking suspicion that most of them will have burst in the journey. You do it first and tell us how it goes.

>>435769
It's alright but when you factor in that you have to have more 'meals' it gets a bit daft. Think of it as something to have once in awhile when you don't have time or inclination for cooking and don't mind farting all night.

>>435771

>Think of it as something to have once in awhile when you don't have time or inclination for cooking and don't mind farting all night.

Weirdly, I can somehow imagine this being true both for the actual meal replacement bar and for SARAH MILLICAN'S SQUELCHY FANNY CUSTARD.

>>435740
The scenario you describe is a full on nuclear exchange
A limited exchange would be far more survival but still grim beyond imagining

>>435753

You're not wrong.

On to some more Colin Furze madness then:

The worst thing about Furze is the music he uses - it all sounds like the 'indie' shite that my teenlad bands used to make. Is he a pederast? It's not for me to say.

Pretty sure squares have got thinner as well. Not nearly as crunchy as they used to be.

>>435668
If squares got thinner they'd be rectangles.

>>435669

They should really be called cuboids, not squares as a line has no thickness in geometry innit.

>>435594
It's not nice to remind people of their advanced years in times like this.

>>435594

Yeah you're a good generation younger than me and probably went to a school with a lot less urban yootz. Good for you lad.

One of you left a post that was also an envelope full of money for people to take as and when they needed it. I don't really need anything, but I liked the dream logic of being able to post a physical wad of cash onto the net, so I'm telling you all about it now.

>>435653
I got a chuckle out of this picturing myself being paid for dreaming overtime - cash in hand.

I'd probably do overtime in my sleep if I could.

I've recently been having dreams where I've been living entirely alternate lives.

The other day I woke up feeling like Arnold Rimmer in "Thanks for the memory" after having spent the whole night dreaming about a perfect girlfriend who never existed.

Last night I was dreaming that I was in uni as a foreign exchange student. Not only were all the popular birds dead into me and my ability to speak their language but I was training with and doing private lessons daily with one of my jiu jitsu heroes.

I don't think I have to get on the old ouija board to Sigmund to figure out what's going on in my subconscious lately.

> The movement behind the walkouts, Fridays for Future, has told strikers to conduct protests virtually due to the pandemic, which Thunberg said was a collective decision taken at an emergency remote meeting.

How do you do a virtual strike against school while in lockdown? Do you actively go outside or do you just put on a very stern face indeed and livestream yourself playing videogames (because you were doing your schoolwork at home the rest of the week, honest).

It's all such total nonsense at this point. Utter tosh.

>>435648

>How do you do a virtual strike against school while in lockdown?

Pretty obvious and easy to do if your school is doing virtual lessons.

>>435649

Jesus wept, does that actually happen? I thought everyone was home-schooling (or watching Loose Women and Love Island while pretending to anyway). Well that's me well telt anyway. Good luck to them.

Some genuinely good news for a change:

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/mar/25/global-efforts-on-ozone-help-reverse-southern-jet-stream-damage

>The new paper, published in the journal Nature, shows that the Montreal protocol has paused the southward movement of the jet stream since the turn of the century and may even be starting to reverse it as the ozone hole begins to close. Last September, satellite images revealed the ozone hole annual peak had shrunk to 16.4m sq km, the smallest extent since 1982.

In a country like the U.S. with a sizeable number of people who are white, free, and 21 and struggle to maintain a roof over their heads or three meals a day, providing free room and board for a segment of the population that has broken society's rules seems like an outrageous thing to do. Then again, it really reflects badly on a society, especially in a rich country as the U.S., when it cares fuck all about those that have failed but potentially have done nothing wrong their entire lives in the eyes of the law, and effectively affords them a poorer standard of living than that of a convicted felon. Smug white middle class people volunteering in soup kitchens and counting their blessings on the way back to their suburban four-bedroom homes isn't the same as having a government system in place that makes comprehensive efforts to help the poor and get them out of poverty.

So I guess then in Norway, a country with one of the highest baseline standards of living in the world and a rock solid social safety net, it doesn't seem like an outrageous thing to do to have a prison island that really looks more like a holiday resort.

>>435099
You do occasionally read about blokes in this country committing petty crimes almost immediately after being released from prison and claiming that they only did them because they don't want to sleep on the streets.

>>435107
You do.

>>435107

>You do occasionally read about blokes in this country committing petty crimes almost immediately after being released from prison and claiming that they only did them because they don't want to sleep on the streets.

I think it's also because after five or more years in the clink, they're struggling to adapt to the outside world. In prison, your entire day is structured from beginning to end, you have no noteworthy say in it, everything is taken care of for you. And to then go back out and do all the things a responsible adult is supposed to do, like hold down a job, deal with authorities, and find a place to live, must seem daunting.

As far as I am aware though, there are enough programmes for released offenders to help them back on their feet. And it can be done. The most crucial thing, if I remember my prison pop psychology 101 correctly, is that these people are kept from reassociating with their old peers that led them to commit the crimes that they went to prison for. Your parole conditions can even spell that out as a requirement.

Doesn't matter if your hands are pristine after the wash up, you still need to tackle the pull to open door.

I wouldn't put my tackle anywhere near a public door handle.

I think the point that >>433543 is trying to make, correct me if I'm wrong, is that, if urine is sterile with the exception of skin flora, then dipping your hand in a bucket of piss is no more dangerous than scratching your armpit or shaking hands with someone sweaty.

>>433758 Just thought I'd post what TI think you need for a thermostat. There are a couple of opamps in there for you, though.

Then I started wondering if there was actually less silicon used in an ATTiny than an opamp.
https://zeptobars.com/en/read/atmel-attiny13a
reckons 1.6x1.6mm for an ATTiny, which does feel big, since you get a decent ARM into 1.9 x 2.00mm (KL02, they're great). No wonder they don't come in SOT23 like some of the PICs.
Single opamps seem to come in at about quarter of the area (for a modern low voltage one)
https://zeptobars.com/en/ - who doesn't love a die shot.

>>433759

That seems a bit like overkill.

I've seen Arduino greenhouse projects that also control light and moisture and even log all their data on a local area web server. Some have even thrown in a webcam and the ability to water your plants remotely via the Internet.

But in the end, it's all just a "because you can" kind of thing. Unless you grow cannabis in a basement, your plants will get more than enough light on your window sill, and unless you're out of the country for two weeks, which isn't the best time to propagate your plants in the first place, surely you will be able to check soil moisture with your thumb every other day.

That said, I like my circuits tidy, unlike many Arduino projects consisting of a Uno board with a breadboard and jumper wires. That always looks a bit amateurish. So I solder the components onto a piece of perfboard just big enough for the intended purpose, and neatly put it in a box.

>>433759

Process node innit - 500nm is absolutely huge by modern standards, but it's also extremely cheap. The ATtiny series is over 20 years old, but it's still selling well with very healthy profit margins because of the massive ecosystem around AVR. There are better, faster and cheaper micros, but none are as well-documented or as easy to prototype with.

Unless you're going for some sort of flip-chip packaging, there's not a lot of point in using modern process nodes on very small chips because most of the die area is used up by wire bonding anyway. It's why you see a lot of modern parts that are only available in QFN or WLCSP - the copper pillars on the die aren't physically large enough to wire-bond, so there's no practical way of attaching them to a conventional leadframe for a larger package.

> The ATtiny series is over 20 years old, but it's still selling well with very healthy profit margins because of the massive ecosystem around AVR. There are better, faster and cheaper micros, but none are as well-documented or as easy to prototype with.


As you said, with the Arduino maker scene in particular, these chips are still profitable to produce because pretty much anyone with no previous concept of computer programming can use them to make an LED blink. And for simple purposes like controlling the temperatue inside a propagator, they're still the best bang for your buck.

Within the maker scene, for more ambitious projects, the standard is now more or less the ESP32, because it can do infinitely more than standard 8-bit RISC controllers. You can do anything with it from streaming MP3 music via bluetooth to designing interactive touchscreen menus or running a basic intranet web server, at least when you buy them as part of a developer's board like the ESP32-WROOM. Documentation so far isn't as good as the Attiny/Atmegas, it's still a growing ecosystem with fewer libraries than the latter, but it's still a powerful piece of kit.

I've been tinkering with a WROOM to stream music from my smartphone to my home stereo amplifier, but it's proved too difficult because so far there are no easy to understand A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) libraries that can get the job done the way I want.

I've written up the Arduino code for my propagator heater in one sitting tonight. And I really mean, I almost literally didn't get up from my chair except for a tea break or a sandwich.

I decided to test my circuit on a breadboard after all, which was a good thing, because the Attiny85 kept resetting after a few seconds of powering the heating pad, and it turned out I had forgotten a resistor between the mosfet's gate and the Attiny's pertaining control pin. Which caused too much current draw and made the chip run unstable.

But now I've completed the code and the circuit layout, so the next step, hopefully tomorrow night, will be soldering the parts onto the perfboard.

The Attiny45 proved to have too little memory for this job, so I switched to an Attiny85.

I've got far too much time today

There was a Tourette lad at the bus stop tonight. He kept shouting things like "Arsecunt!" or "Gay wankers!" and also had a tic where he was intermittently jerking up his left elbow while simultaneously shaking his head. His mate who was with him assured me that this was nothing to be alarmed about. I felt a bit bad for finding it slightly amusing.

>>433388
You shouldn't. I'm an expert in Tourette's because I've watched sweet_anita on Twitch a few times and there's every chance he was just glad you didn't react angrily or aggressively. A bit of laughter never hurt anyone and it's certainly true that lots of sufferers can share with friends and strangers alike the hilarity of what their tics say.

And for anyone who doesn't consider Twitch beneath them, you should give Anita a whirl. Her tics can be amazingly funny and she's super wholesome with the mental heath podcast she does.

>>433428

You kind of wonder how Tourette's was seen before there was all that neurological knowledge about the condition. Were people in the Middle Ages thought of as being possessed by the devil, and burned at the stake if they kept saying things like "Arsecunt, thou art"?
