|---|---|---|
| knight_pi | hey popey | 15:27 |
| knight_pi | j | 15:28 |
| zxmpi_ | tis a quiet day | 15:28 |
| knight_pi | kids next door are having a birthday party | 15:28 |
| knight_pi | silently pondering what it would take to drown some of them | 15:29 |
| knight_pi | or at least lock them up in a soundproof bunker | 15:29 |
| knight_pi | on the dark side of pluto | 15:29 |
| zxmpi_ | order a bouncy castle to your place and have a fun time in the garden with it laughing at them :-) | 15:29 |
| knight_pi | THAT is sweet revenge indeed | 15:29 |
| knight_pi | but it would not take care of the noise | 15:30 |
| knight_pi | seriously... we have a little pub behind the house where (when we heard it right) we might have another noisy wedding tonight | 15:30 |
| zxmpi_ | your noise would drown out theirs helped by the compressor | 15:30 |
| knight_pi | yeah | 15:31 |
| knight_pi | I swear , one of those kids needs a bloody exorcist | 15:32 |
| daftykins | \o | 18:41 |
| daftykins | a fella that's walking coast to coast in the US, visiting only Subway for his food is about to cross from Kansas into Colorado - https://rtirl.com/twitch:731642510 live tracking page and livestream: https://www.twitch.tv/subwaysean although it's breaking up a lot atm | 20:49 |
| penguin42 | ouch, how long is he expecting that walk to take? | 20:53 |
| daftykins | well he's over half way and day 112 | 20:56 |
| daftykins | 5-6 months he put as an estimate on over 3,000 miles | 21:01 |
| penguin42 | that's one hell of a walk | 21:02 |
| penguin42 | so what's that, 150ish days, 20 miles a day; that's quite fast, I mean I walk 3-4 mph, so that would be solid 6-7 hours walking every day | 21:04 |
| daftykins | yeah! i doubt i'd fare well, i have a fully bruise coated big toe purely from crouching down doing network cabling in a cupboard under a desk xD | 21:04 |
| penguin42 | probably walks about 15-20 miles a week | 21:04 |
| penguin42 | but that's only about an hour a day; most I've ever done in a day is about 10miles | 21:06 |
| daftykins | i'm not even sure what i've done, laps of the island would be properly boring! they do do them as a charity event every year though | 21:07 |
| daftykins | up and down and up and down around staircases that snake all over the cliffs on the south coast etc | 21:07 |
| daftykins | e.g. https://goo.gl/maps/GNiUa8ggGRrui8vaA | 21:08 |
| * penguin42 is getting bored of the routes around his house | 21:09 | |
| penguin42 | anyway, time for a shower I think | 21:09 |
| daftykins | still limiting your exposure to the great unwashed? | 21:09 |
| daftykins | enjoy! | 21:09 |
| penguin42 | daftykins: Yeh, give me a self-driving car please! | 21:09 |
| daftykins | :) | 21:10 |
| zxmpi_ | my evening walks take me around the empty back roads of suburbs here. in 2 hour walk i see a few dozen people mostly walking dogs. with easy opportunity to be on far side of the road from them | 21:27 |
| daftykins | then you pick 'em off with a paintball gun! | 21:28 |
| daftykins | *thwap* *thwap* | 21:28 |
| penguin42 | woof woof yelp! | 22:02 |
| daftykins | xD | 22:04 |
| irl25519 | what's wrong with my connection? | 22:05 |
| penguin42 | zxmpi_: Yeh I think I've discovered most of the back roads around here since covid; pre-covid I used to mostly just walk to the supermarkets | 22:05 |
| penguin42 | irl25519: You've got it plugged in upside down | 22:05 |
| irl25519 | lmao | 22:06 |
| zxmpi_ | when you can plug in a usb connection upside down it should still work out of fear :-P | 22:39 |
| penguin42 | zxmpi_: Someone found a USB-c device that behaved differently upside down | 22:42 |
| penguin42 | they hadn't connected the 2 sets of pins together | 22:43 |
| zxmpi_ | i have heard a few people say that they have usb-c that doesn't work till they unplug it and turn it upside down and reinsert. i just tell them that it's backwards compatible with usb-a :-P | 22:45 |
| penguin42 | haha | 22:46 |
