[12:28] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[17:34] <pauljw> hi everyone
[17:58] <pauljw> wb EriC^^
[17:58] <EriC^^> thanks pauljw
[17:58] <EriC^^> how are you?
[17:59] <pauljw> doing well thanks, cold and snowy here today.  :)  how about yourself?
[18:00] <EriC^^> good thanks :)
[18:02] <BluesKaj> yeah, snowing and cold here too, blustery
[18:05] <BluesKaj> well it is winter in Northern Ontario. Gotta expect it sooner or later despite the mild temps we've been having :-)
[18:06] <Bashing-om> BluesKaj: Same here in Arkansas. This is our 1st cool spell . Has been very plesant to this time for Winter .
[18:07] <BluesKaj> Arkansas, you guys actually get winter down there? :-)
[18:08] <Bashing-om> :) Warm Blooded Southern Boy !
[18:09] <pauljw> i'm in indiana and this is our first cold and snow of the year, love it.  :)
[18:10] <Bashing-om> Yesterday's snow and ice went South of me here .. I am glad to say .
[18:10] <BluesKaj> I'm a norherner thru and thru, was born north of Helsinki Finland
[18:11] <pauljw> :)
[18:12] <BluesKaj> these old kness prevent me from participating in winter sports, so I sit in my easy chair and fool with Linux :-)
[18:12] <BluesKaj> knees even
[18:12] <Bashing-om> And that cold is invigorating - rejuvinating effect on some ... However. I spent a Winter in Chicago - once - .
[18:14] <BluesKaj> yeah, winter can be nasty there
[18:15] <pauljw> lake effect is bad in that area
[18:16] <Bashing-om> Yeah .. I did survive .. Amazed me every time mu ole car started in that cold .
[18:17] <BluesKaj> I'm 15mi from what's known as the North Shore/Channel on Georgian Bay/Lake Huron and we do get some lake effects snows
[18:18] <pauljw> :) i spent about 5yrs in MN in the early '80s and had an '82 diesel rabbit and one morning i came out from work to go home and my fuel had gel'd in the tank, i had to take a trash lid and charcoal and build a fire under the tank to get it to flow again.
[18:20] <BluesKaj> whoa ..
[18:22] <pauljw> after that, i'd go out at lunch time and start the car and let it run for the rest of the night. :)
[18:23] <BluesKaj> sounds like you may have had some condensation in your fuel tank
[18:25] <BluesKaj> that's a problem here when the temps get down past -15F , so most ppl add gas line antfreeze/alcohol to their fuel tanks
[18:25] <EriC^^> that's pretty resourceful
[18:25] <BluesKaj> absorbs the water in the fuel
[18:25] <pauljw> don't think so, it's just the nature of diesel fuel.  many manufacturers offer tank heaters
[18:25] <EriC^^> i mean the using a trash lid and charcoal
[18:26] <pauljw> :)
[18:26] <EriC^^> i didn't know rabbits came in diesel btw
[18:26] <EriC^^> i had a mk2 16v as a first car, loved it dearly
[18:26] <BluesKaj> ok , don't know anyone with a deisel engine in their vehicle
[18:26] <pauljw> i loved that car
[18:30] <pauljw> BluesKaj, you are right with gasoline, i've used more than my share of fuel-dri..
[18:30] <BluesKaj> I'm keeping my old taurus running for another yr before I trade it, only 55K Mi on it so it still runs fine.
[18:30] <pauljw> just getting broken in!!
[18:32] <BluesKaj> yeah, we don't have to drive very far to shop etc and we visit our kids a couple times/yr ,but not much driving otherwise
[18:34] <BluesKaj> kids are 300mi and 450 mi away respectively, so not a lot of milage really
[18:34] <pauljw> i hope to get another 10 years from both of my vehicles, the '04 Trailblazer only has 82,000mi and the '03 Ranger Edge 4x4 has about 122,000.  now that i'm retired, i won't be putting too many miles on the Ranger and will use the chevy for road trips to see the grandkids in Wisconsin.
[18:38] <BluesKaj> the taurus is 11 yrs old, an '05 and we travel to Windsor/Detroit to visit our son and his family and my daughters and grandkids live in Toronto
[18:38] <pauljw> :)
[18:39] <BluesKaj> enjoying my retirement as well pauljw
[18:39] <pauljw> nice
[18:41] <BluesKaj> had an old f150, but it finally died after close to 30yrs
[18:41] <BluesKaj> it was a beater when I bought it and I drove that thing for 13 yrs
[18:41] <pauljw> with just a bit of care it's amazing how long these beasts can last
[18:42] <BluesKaj> truly
[18:43] <BluesKaj> I miss having a truck :/
[18:44] <pauljw> they are handy
[18:45]  * BluesKaj nods
[18:47] <Bashing-om> Pats my old '82 Toyota .. most a million miles on it and still reliable .
[18:48] <pauljw> my ranger came with a topper and i was originally gonna take it off and sell it but didn't and now i'm glad i kept it.  i've yet to need to haul anything that wouldn't fit and i don't have to worry about anything falling out of it on my way to the dump/recycling center.
[18:48] <pauljw> Bashing-om, that's remarkable
[18:49] <Bashing-om> Just keep the oil and filters changed, run good gas in it .. good to go .
[18:49] <pauljw> :)
[18:58] <BluesKaj> bbiab, just reinstalled kubuntu 14.04 and still doing some upgrades
[19:02] <pauljw> wb
[19:06] <BluesKaj> thanks
[19:21] <pauljw> bbl
[20:45] <EriC^^> hey lotuspsychje
[20:45] <lotuspsychje> hey EriC^^ all ok mate?
[20:45] <EriC^^> yeah :D
[20:45] <EriC^^> you good?
[20:45] <lotuspsychje> fine fine tnx :p
[20:46] <EriC^^> my car's dead
[20:46] <lotuspsychje> ouch, what you did?
[20:46] <EriC^^> the battery is dead
[20:46] <lotuspsychje> awww
[20:46] <EriC^^> won't start, i think it died cause of the cold
[20:46] <nicomachus> bad cell. :/
[20:46] <nicomachus> got a charger?
[20:46] <nicomachus> or jumper cables and a friendly neighbor?
[20:47] <EriC^^> nope no charger
[20:47] <EriC^^> or jumper cables
[20:47] <nicomachus> ah. they are a solid investment.
[20:47] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: Battery died on my pickup too . Will get it replaced tomorrow :)
[20:47] <EriC^^> i'm going to try something tomorrow
[20:48] <EriC^^> crushed aspirin is supposed to give it enough oomph for another crank
[20:48] <EriC^^> never tried it before, but what the heck
[20:48] <EriC^^> i'll put some crushed aspirin and try to crank it, if it starts i'll drive to the nearest shop and get another battery
[20:49] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: Never heard of that one . If it works, a good thing to know .
[20:49] <nicomachus> have them check the battery first! it may just be cold and not need replacing
[20:49] <EriC^^> yeah, it supposedly can let a battery crank but it shortens the life of the battery, it's like in case you're stranded somewhere it's good to keep some aspirin for that
[20:50] <EriC^^> nicomachus: it's like 3-4 years old, been meaning to replace it but it was still working fine and i was lazy
[20:50] <Bashing-om> EriC^^: nicomachus ^^ +1 . If it is cold, oil is thick and the engine is HARD to turn over .
[20:51] <EriC^^> nah, i have a turbo timer in it and it shows the battery voltage
[20:51] <EriC^^> it was like 8-9v
[20:51] <EriC^^> it's pretty flat lined
[20:51] <EriC^^> :|
[20:54] <lotuspsychje> EriC^^: we payed like 180 euro for new batter last time for nissan almera : |
[20:54] <EriC^^> damn, that's expensive
[20:54] <lotuspsychje> yeah
[20:54] <EriC^^> it's like $70 for 62amps batteries here
[20:55] <nicomachus> EriC^^: you're in the US, right?
[20:55] <EriC^^> no, lebanon
[20:55] <nicomachus> ah. probably don't have US auto parts stores then. haha
[20:55] <EriC^^> lol nah
[20:57] <lotuspsychje> soon we will all sit n drink in the back of an ubuntu car, driving us around lol
[21:17] <nicomachus> bogdan must have a short memory...
[21:17] <lotuspsychje> lol
[21:19] <OerHeks> :-D
[21:22] <nicomachus> interesting bug exposed in Nvidia drivers that seems to "break" incognito mode on Chrome: https://charliehorse55.wordpress.com/2016/01/09/how-nvidia-breaks-chrome-incognito/
[21:23] <nicomachus> warning: heavily censored pornography.
[21:23] <nicomachus> users report similar behavior with the nouveau driver on linux as well as windows.
[21:24] <OerHeks> sounds like a trim issue for GPU's
[21:24] <OerHeks> :-D
[23:20] <nicomachus> any of you guys any good with python?
[23:21] <EriC^^> i think DosTuMai is a python junkie
