[09:25] morning boys and girls. [09:31] morning mammals [09:33] morning [18:42] 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] I'd heard silver had got a lot more expensive lately [18:45] ah that's interesting [18:45] i might just pop in one of the high street places in the week, then [18:45] daftykins: Is it hall-marked? and is it aesthetically nice? [18:46] 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] ah, personally engraved probably doesn't add much, unless it's a generic one :-) [18:48] 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] daftykins: Well, that's the thing, Dave is a very good name [18:50] :D that it is! [18:52] when you take it back to the place, you'll find out which Dave it was originally made for [18:52] it was a gift from an ex, so it was mine [18:53] daftykins: you're supposed to chuck gifts from the ex when you split [18:53] or better still burn them in an effigy [18:54] haha, yeah... i did close to that though by leaving it behind at my parents place for years [18:54] 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] 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] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-dwmYeLLng [18:55] err [18:55] wrong one [18:55] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkiix0aveRk [18:55] ^ that [18:56] heh i'd never seen that but had people quote it to me [18:58] hmm, how bad is this gonna be: 10 greatest hackers of all time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp7min0TOiY [19:00] "x anything" is bound to be quite trashy :) [19:18] if it names names then they are ipso facto not the best hackers :-D [20:10] zmoylan-pixi: you hop devices far too often :-p [20:10] speaking of devices, what happened to all the hype from a couple years ago about phones moving to saphire screens?! [20:11] <_< >_> keeping ahead of big brother... :-P [20:11] that and smartphone sucky battery life... [20:12] super duper indestructible ever lasting batteries is the new fusion power... [20:12] we can make artifical diamonds now, why not make a phone case out of that? [20:14] diddledan: They couldn't make them big enough [20:16] 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] they could limit breakages by havibg glass on only 1 flippin side... [21:24] making the surface of the exterior not so smooth as to slip out of hand so easily [21:25] 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] most just buy a case (: [22:10] a lot of people who spend a grand on a phone are not going to want to stick it in a case... [22:13] oh that model specifically, meh [22:13] we care not for such fools :D [23:05] i wonder how long before i see one in a queue in a shop with a cracked screen [23:06] only Apple shops will be able to deal right now :) [23:17] ireland the hq of apple in the eu has no apple shops...
