| Myrtti | new kettle \o/ | 18:15 |
| * zmoylan-pi is not sure a kettle is worth getting excited over... unless it runs linux of course... | 18:16 | |
| Myrtti | well considering that we've been thinking about getting a new one for a few years and considered about it for over a month, it's a good achievement. | 18:18 |
| Myrtti | http://www.johnlewis.com/cuisinart-cpk17u-multi-temperature-kettle-silver/p621260 | 18:18 |
| zmoylan-pi | ah the putting it off as next years kettles will blow away this years kettles conundrum... :-) | 18:18 |
| zmoylan-pi | i only replaced the kettle this year as they brought in water charges and the spout on old one had miniscule leak | 18:19 |
| SuperEngineer | Myrtti, if it does run on Linux, you can be sure it'll run *Steam* ;) | 18:26 |
| zmoylan-pi | hold on a moment... and no one gave you a fantastic new kettle for wedding present?? | 18:26 |
| zmoylan-pi | my brother got around a dozen toasters for his wedding in the 80s. still hasn't used all them | 18:27 |
| Myrtti | zmoylan-pi: we specifically requested no physical presents | 18:27 |
| funkyHat | All toasters, no kettles | 18:27 |
| zmoylan-pi | ah | 18:27 |
| Myrtti | well, we specifically requested NO presents | 18:27 |
| Myrtti | so a lot of people gave us cards with information on the charity they donated to | 18:28 |
| zmoylan-pi | yeah, i would have ignored the no physical pressie rule. but i would have made the pressie a doozie | 18:28 |
| zmoylan-pi | to the norwegian friends who didn't want big gifts i sent a massive box of lego instead. lego vikings... it felt right to send vikings from ireland to norway in revenge :-P | 18:31 |
| Myrtti | well many people understood that since we don't live in Finland, we'd have trouble transporting the presents back home | 18:33 |
| Myrtti | and we didn't have a gift registry either for getting stuff home delivered. | 18:33 |
| * penguin42 should get a new kettle, the current one sometimes gets upset and turns itself off | 18:33 | |
| penguin42 | Myrtti: £58?! for a kettle?! | 18:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | i sent it to their home in norway, should have seen the faces in the post office when the box wouldn't fit through hatch. | 18:34 |
| Myrtti | penguin42: it was 'cheap' for a 'smart' kettle | 18:34 |
| zmoylan-pi | it does algebra? :-) | 18:34 |
| penguin42 | Myrtti: smart? For that price I'd expect it to drink it for me | 18:34 |
| Myrtti | you're welcome to check the prices of other kettles that you can choose the water temperature - prices usually start from 70 | 18:36 |
| penguin42 | do you need to choose the water temp? | 18:36 |
| zmoylan-pi | an external temperature gauge would do the trick | 18:37 |
| Myrtti | it's nice for some teas and hot cordials? | 18:37 |
| Myrtti | but I'm not forcing anyone to buy the same kettle... | 18:37 |
| penguin42 | Myrtti: But out of interest, it's a cuisinart and I've just got one of their ice cream machines, it seems well made but pretty basic | 18:37 |
| zmoylan-pi | no, a kettle like a lot of tech is not a one size fits all product. | 18:38 |
| penguin42 | Myrtti: Yeh, I could argue but then I've got a slowly healing scald on one finger from a too hot cordial | 18:38 |
| * zmoylan-pi remembers fondly the kettle my mother used in 70s on gas oven which was ancient even then | 18:39 | |
| penguin42 | I think we have one of those for doomsday situations | 18:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | i have a kelly kettle for disasters all ready. nowt but the best... | 18:40 |
| penguin42 | what's that? | 18:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | volcano kettle that will boil a kettle of water with just an old magazine newspaper for fuel. http://www.kellykettle.com/ | 18:41 |
| penguin42 | oh ok, I don't worry about that level of disaster | 18:42 |
| zmoylan-pi | i had always wanted one since i saw one in the 70s. just a weirdly cool tech to my mind | 18:43 |
| Azelphur | Does anyone know if a power strip exists, that has UK/US/EU outputs, and takes UK/US/EU input? | 18:43 |
| zmoylan-pi | wouldn't that be bigger than 2-3 power strips and silly money? | 18:43 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: You'd need two different transformers to do that wouldn't you? | 18:44 |
| penguin42 | a small UPS would almost be the easiest answer to that | 18:45 |
| Azelphur | penguin42, no you don't? no adapter needs that | 18:45 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: OK, so you just want physical adapters? | 18:45 |
| Azelphur | penguin42, yea, any device I plugged into it would support 110-240V | 18:46 |
| Azelphur | penguin42, I get around a lot xD | 18:46 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: If you had a strip with multiple types of output then you could use that together with one of the multiplugs that will go into anything | 18:47 |
| Azelphur | penguin42, yea that's what I'm tempted to do, was just hoping to find something that does it all in one go | 18:48 |
| zmoylan-pi | might be easier to get stuff that would charge off usb and then buy biggest usb chearger for any trip? | 18:49 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: http://www.p-wholesale.com/cn-pro/17/146to2/power-strip-141528.html will that take all the plugs you need? | 18:49 |
| Azelphur | penguin42, not sure, doesn't mention what type of input it has? | 18:50 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: Who cares if you put one of those multiple type adapters on the input | 18:50 |
| Azelphur | penguin42, true just trying tp space save | 18:51 |
| penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: That might become possible with USB-C | 18:51 |
| zmoylan-pi | unless someone *cough* apple *cough* make their own wacky version | 18:51 |
| penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: It's standard isn't it? | 18:52 |
| zmoylan-pi | there are standards and their are /enhanced/ standards... | 18:52 |
| penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: I think they actually followed it this time; the only dumb thing they did was only putting one on the system | 18:53 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: The thing is I can't think of a design that would fulfill your needs except by putting an adapter on the input, you can't have multiple input leads - unless you use one that has an input lead which would probably take even more space, but I bet there are blocks that take kettle leads | 18:54 |
| zmoylan-pi | maybe a local plug to cigarette adapter and a cigarette adapter powered inverter... | 18:54 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: Or just chop the input plug off and put a c13 on, although remember you've probably not got any fusing at that point | 18:56 |
| Azelphur | penguin42, yea I was thinking its plug would be a universal one | 18:57 |
| Azelphur | but I can just put a universal adapter | 18:57 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: I've never seen a universal plug | 18:57 |
| zmoylan-pi | well 2 wires wrapped around matches probably doesn't count... :-) | 18:58 |
| penguin42 | Azelphur: http://jinggoal.en.alibaba.com/product/389353719-210192640/Universal_plug.html !!!! | 18:59 |
| penguin42 | is that thing real? | 18:59 |
| penguin42 | it looks scary | 18:59 |
| zmoylan-pi | transformers... robots in disguise... | 19:00 |
| zmoylan-pi | http://www.getdatgadget.com/kikkerland-universal-travel-adapter/ | 19:03 |
| Azelphur | penguin42, I have one of them | 19:05 |
| Azelphur | In fact I have 4 of them... | 19:05 |
| zmoylan-pi | and i also liked but haven't heard of recently the folding uk adapter... https://www.themu.co.uk/ | 19:05 |
| mapps | 25c to now raining;D | 19:37 |
| zmoylan-pi | 9c and cloudy, a nice weekend in dublin | 19:39 |
| penguin42 | zmoylan-pi: It's been about 10c but pretty sunny here over here to the east of you in Manc | 19:40 |
| zmoylan-pi | it's odd as usually bank holiday weekends are guaranteed damp, windy occasions | 19:41 |
| zmoylan-pi | followed by a day of beautiful sunshine when everyone has gone back to work just to rub it in | 19:41 |
| penguin42 | yesterday was awful though | 19:42 |
| Myrtti | ohmygawd the new kettle might have just revolutionised my lunches | 22:04 |
| Myrtti | cup-a-soups. cup-a-soups for everyone. no need to scald mouth anymore | 22:04 |
| MartijnVdS | Myrtti: is it one of those heathen kettles with a temperature knob? | 22:11 |
| Myrtti | yeah | 22:11 |
| Myrtti | see discussion approx. 4 hours earlier | 22:12 |
| daftykins | O_O | 22:21 |
| daftykins | sounds high tech | 22:21 |
| Myrtti | oh my god the 4k display | 22:58 |
| penguin42 | on your kettle? | 22:59 |
| daftykins | ? | 22:59 |
| Myrtti | no, hubby's new laptop. It looks and works pretty badly with the nVidia drivers, but using the Intel integrated and watching videos... | 23:00 |
| Myrtti | https://plus.google.com/+DuncanSample/posts/JQJb656Xpmb | 23:00 |
| Myrtti | we're watching a GoPro video and it is eye watering on this display | 23:01 |
| daftykins | nvidia prime? | 23:05 |
| Myrtti | yeah. | 23:12 |
| daftykins | i'd be curious as to whether your hubby tried a newer driver than is available in repos | 23:19 |
| daftykins | depending on what the nvidia chip is and which OS version this is | 23:19 |
