[09:50] <brobostigon> morning knightwise
[09:50] <brobostigon> yw.
[09:50]  * brobostigon is using his imagination abit.
[11:29] <jussi> Happy birthday popey, you have a very distinguished day for a birthday :D
[11:30] <zmoylan-pi> distinguished?
[15:24] <mapps> :D
[18:15] <Myrtti> new kettle \o/
[18:16]  * zmoylan-pi is not sure a kettle is worth getting excited over... unless it runs linux of course...
[18:18] <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... :-)
[18:19] <zmoylan-pi> i only replaced the kettle this year as they brought in water charges and the spout on old one had miniscule leak
[18:26] <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??
[18:27] <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
[18:28] <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
[18:31] <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
[18:33] <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
[18:34] <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
[18:36] <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?
[18:37] <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
[18:38] <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
[18:39]  * zmoylan-pi remembers fondly the kettle my mother used in 70s on gas oven which was ancient even then
[18:40] <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?
[18:41] <zmoylan-pi> volcano kettle that will boil a kettle of water with just an old magazine newspaper for fuel. http://www.kellykettle.com/
[18:42] <penguin42> oh ok, I don't worry about that level of disaster
[18:43] <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?
[18:44] <penguin42> Azelphur: You'd need two different transformers to do that wouldn't you?
[18:45] <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?
[18:46] <Azelphur> penguin42, yea, any device I plugged into it would support 110-240V
[18:46] <Azelphur> penguin42, I get around a lot xD
[18:47] <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
[18:48] <Azelphur> penguin42, yea that's what I'm tempted to do, was just hoping to find something that does it all in one go
[18:49] <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?
[18:50] <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
[18:51] <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
[18:52] <penguin42> zmoylan-pi: It's standard isn't it?
[18:52] <zmoylan-pi> there are standards and their are /enhanced/ standards...
[18:53] <penguin42> zmoylan-pi: I think they actually followed it this time; the only dumb thing they did was only putting one on the system
[18:54] <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...
[18:56] <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
[18:57] <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
[18:58] <zmoylan-pi> well 2 wires wrapped around matches probably doesn't count... :-)
[18:59] <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
[19:00] <zmoylan-pi> transformers... robots in disguise...
[19:03] <zmoylan-pi> http://www.getdatgadget.com/kikkerland-universal-travel-adapter/
[19:05] <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/
[19:37] <mapps> 25c to now raining;D
[19:39] <zmoylan-pi> 9c and cloudy, a nice weekend in dublin
[19:40] <penguin42> zmoylan-pi: It's been about 10c but pretty sunny here over here to the east of you in Manc
[19:41] <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
[19:42] <penguin42> yesterday was awful though
[22:04] <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
[22:11] <MartijnVdS> Myrtti: is it one of those heathen kettles with a temperature knob?
[22:11] <Myrtti> yeah
[22:12] <Myrtti> see discussion approx. 4 hours earlier
[22:21] <daftykins> O_O
[22:21] <daftykins> sounds high tech
[22:58] <Myrtti> oh my god the 4k display
[22:59] <penguin42> on your kettle?
[22:59] <daftykins> ?
[23:00] <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
[23:01] <Myrtti> we're watching a GoPro video and it is eye watering on this display
[23:05] <daftykins> nvidia prime?
[23:12] <Myrtti> yeah.
[23:19] <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
[23:25] <m0nkey_> I'd say try a different DE
