[09:33] <brobostigon> morning
[18:42] <daftykins> hrmm has anyone ever sold on silver jewellery? i found an old bracelet i was gifted when i was younger, no idea if you get much value out of selling it for scrap
[18:45] <penguin42> I'd heard silver had got a lot more expensive lately
[18:45] <daftykins> ah that's interesting
[18:45] <daftykins> i might just pop in one of the high street places in the week, then
[18:45] <penguin42> daftykins: Is it hall-marked? and is it aesthetically nice?
[18:46] <daftykins> hmm not sure, personally engraved though and still in the box from the local place that an ex got it, so it might be a bit funny
[18:47] <penguin42> ah, personally engraved probably doesn't add much, unless it's a generic one :-)
[18:48] <daftykins> i remember cringing on seeing it the first time, it's an I.D. bracelet with 'Dave' on it, not sure how i'd forget my own name
[18:49] <penguin42> daftykins: Well, that's the thing, Dave is a very good name
[18:50] <daftykins> :D that it is!
[18:52] <penguin42> when you take it back to the place, you'll find out which Dave it was originally made for
[18:52] <daftykins> it was a gift from an ex, so it was mine
[18:53] <diddledan> daftykins: you're supposed to chuck gifts from the ex when you split
[18:53] <diddledan> or better still burn them in an effigy
[18:54] <daftykins> haha, yeah... i did close to that though by leaving it behind at my parents place for years
[18:54] <daftykins> today i spent a couple of hours cleaning out drawers of old junk, quite like the idea of minimising clutter ahead of when the house works finish and i get things back
[18:55] <daftykins> horrifying how much we hold onto if not kept in check, i had a bunch of the pamphlets for a new bank account i created in Portsmouth when i went to Uni, ridiculous :D

[18:55] <diddledan> err
[18:55] <diddledan> wrong one
[18:55] <diddledan> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkiix0aveRk
[18:55] <diddledan> ^ that
[18:56] <daftykins> heh i'd never seen that but had people quote it to me
[18:58] <diddledan> hmm, how bad is this gonna be: 10 greatest hackers of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp7min0TOiY
[19:00] <daftykins> "x anything" is bound to be quite trashy :)
[19:18] <zmoylan-samj3> if it names names then they are ipso facto not the best hackers :-D
[20:10] <diddledan> zmoylan-pixi: you hop devices far too often :-p
[20:10] <diddledan> speaking of devices, what happened to all the hype from a couple years ago about phones moving to saphire screens?!
[20:11] <zmoylan-pixi> <_< >_> keeping ahead of big brother... :-P
[20:11] <zmoylan-pixi> that and smartphone sucky battery life...
[20:12] <zmoylan-pixi> super duper indestructible ever lasting batteries is the new fusion power...
[20:12] <zmoylan-pixi> we can make artifical diamonds now, why not make a phone case out of that?
[20:14] <penguin42> diddledan: They couldn't make them big enough
[20:16] <daftykins> Apple had that company in the US trying but they couldn't refine the process, there was a very ugly split over it
[21:21] <zmoylan-pixi> they could limit breakages by havibg glass on only 1 flippin side...
[21:24] <zmoylan-pixi> making the surface of the exterior not so smooth as to slip out of hand so easily
[21:25] <zmoylan-pixi> add a 1-2 mm rim around outside of screen so that when laid down on flat surface it makes no contact to be scratched...
[22:04] <daftykins> most just buy a case (:
[22:10] <zmoylan-pixi> a lot of people who spend a grand on a phone are not going to want to stick it in a case...
[22:13] <daftykins> oh that model specifically, meh
[22:13] <daftykins> we care not for such fools :D
[23:05] <zmoylan-pixi> i wonder how long before i see one in a queue in a shop with a cracked screen
[23:06] <daftykins> only Apple shops will be able to deal right now :)
[23:17] <zmoylan-pixi> ireland the hq of apple in the eu has no apple shops...
