[2025-10-31T06:07:50Z] <kris_> midfavila: i hope you're dreaming about ramen in an electric kettle right now
[2025-10-31T12:44:28Z] <Ozymandias42> ..right I totally forgot to put my two cents here regarding the electric kettle and tea making thing
[2025-10-31T12:47:00Z] <Ozymandias42> regarding tea becaues I love tea. You do NOT heat up the water with the tea in it. you pour the boiling water (or lower temp depending on the tea) over the tea.
[2025-10-31T12:47:36Z] <Ozymandias42> doing it like this rather than heating it up while the tea is already submerged changes how aromates are freed I think
[2025-10-31T12:52:27Z] <Ozymandias42> as for the superiority of an electric kettle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_yMMTVVJI4c

[2025-10-31T23:12:17Z] <kris_> i sent the fucking worst sound test of a keyboard i think has ever been created that i just recorded
[2025-10-31T23:12:19Z] <midfavila> there's no other correct answer.
[2025-10-31T23:12:21Z] <kris_> with my dell rubber dome from like 2004
[2025-10-31T23:12:23Z] <kris_> media keyboard thing
[2025-10-31T23:12:32Z] <kris_> i didnt even mean to record it in such low quality but it just adds to it
[2025-10-31T23:12:36Z] <midfavila> oh speaking of keyboards
[2025-10-31T23:12:42Z] <midfavila> that reminds me of the compaq keyboard i used to have
[2025-10-31T23:12:45Z] <kris_> why would i get a beamspring when i can get a sun type-4
[2025-10-31T23:12:51Z] <midfavila> which reminds me of a conversation i had at my other job 
[2025-10-31T23:13:16Z] <midfavila> where some old dude unironically did the "back in my day computers cost a million billion quadrillion dollars therefore you younguns need to stop complaining"
[2025-10-31T23:13:39Z] <midfavila> meanwhile he was making fucking 25,000 in the 70s
[2025-10-31T23:14:09Z] <midfavila> he acted so fucking smug about it too aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[2025-10-31T23:14:29Z] <midfavila> like okay sure you had to spend money on a computer but i'm just asking for a fucking house and food and shit man, shut the fuck up

[2025-10-31T23:15:29Z] <midfavila> it has a fisheye lens
[2025-10-31T23:15:31Z] <kris_> it has to be complete ass
[2025-10-31T23:15:44Z] <midfavila> it's open sores, you can make it complete ass
[2025-10-31T23:15:52Z] <midfavila> i did find one of those ancient parallel port ones a while back 
[2025-10-31T23:15:55Z] <kris_> i didnt know mnt made a webcam
[2025-10-31T23:15:58Z] <midfavila> ye
[2025-10-31T23:16:05Z] <midfavila> it's on The List
[2025-10-31T23:16:08Z] <midfavila> :tm:
[2025-10-31T23:16:42Z] <kris_> hold on trying to find it
[2025-10-31T23:16:57Z] <kris_> mostly out of curiosity 
[2025-10-31T23:17:11Z] <kris_> i dont think ill ever buy a mnt product
[2025-10-31T23:17:27Z] <midfavila> https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-reform-camera
[2025-10-31T23:17:28Z] <midfavila> y
[2025-10-31T23:17:31Z] <midfavila> theyre good
[2025-10-31T23:17:55Z] <kris_> ah no wonder i couldnt find it
[2025-10-31T23:17:56Z] <kris_> >discontinued
[2025-10-31T23:18:00Z] <midfavila> it's not
[2025-10-31T23:18:01Z] <midfavila> lol
[2025-10-31T23:18:05Z] <kris_> it says it is
[2025-10-31T23:18:08Z] <midfavila> yeah it's wrong
[2025-10-31T23:18:16Z] <midfavila> i spoke to the people who run mnt
[2025-10-31T23:18:26Z] <midfavila> they just sell via distributors now
[2025-10-31T23:18:29Z] <midfavila> to save on shipping and shit
[2025-10-31T23:18:30Z] <kris_> also this doesn't have a microphone that completely fucking sucks
[2025-10-31T23:18:34Z] <midfavila> it does not
[2025-10-31T23:18:35Z] <kris_> i dont think it has a mic at all
[2025-10-31T23:18:36Z] <midfavila> BUT
[2025-10-31T23:18:43Z] <midfavila> you can make a shitty ribbon mic using a gum wrapper
[2025-10-31T23:18:47Z] <midfavila> and it's very crusty
[2025-10-31T23:18:49Z] <kris_> what
[2025-10-31T23:18:53Z] <kris_> how the hell do you do that
[2025-10-31T23:18:57Z] <midfavila> magnets
[2025-10-31T23:19:00Z] <midfavila> how the fuck do they work
[2025-10-31T23:19:09Z] <midfavila> and don't be askin a scientist because they be lyin and gettin me pissed
[2025-10-31T23:19:17Z] <midfavila> etc
[2025-10-31T23:19:38Z] <midfavila> i'll post the video at some point if i remember
[2025-10-31T23:19:47Z] <kris_> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkF-g9pnBSg
[2025-10-31T23:19:49Z] <midfavila> otherwise you'll have to live with the thought of a DIY crusty gum mic
[2025-10-31T23:19:51Z] <kris_> im guessing this is what you're talking about
[2025-10-31T23:20:10Z] <midfavila> idk man i'm on my laptop that means i only have links2
[2025-10-31T23:20:13Z] <kris_> it actually doesnt sound bad whatsoever once it's shielded what the fuck
[2025-10-31T23:20:20Z] <midfavila> i mean yeah
[2025-10-31T23:20:25Z] <midfavila> why would it sound bad
[2025-10-31T23:20:31Z] <kris_> idk i just expected it to 
[2025-10-31T23:20:33Z] <midfavila> it's an analogue ribbon mic
[2025-10-31T23:20:36Z] <kris_> especially given you said >very crusty
[2025-10-31T23:20:40Z] <midfavila> i mean it's janky asf and it *is* crusty
[2025-10-31T23:20:45Z] <midfavila> but it's crusty in a good way
[2025-10-31T23:20:46Z] <kris_> nah this is based
[2025-10-31T23:20:49Z] <midfavila> yee
[2025-10-31T23:20:52Z] <midfavila> i'm going to build one 
[2025-10-31T23:20:55Z] <midfavila> at some point
[2025-10-31T23:21:06Z] <kris_> i dont have an interface for this specific build, i dont have anything that would accept xlr
[2025-10-31T23:21:07Z] <midfavila> or maybe a few and have an array
[2025-10-31T23:21:10Z] <kris_> everything i have is usb
[2025-10-31T23:21:17Z] <midfavila> use an xlr to 3.5
[2025-10-31T23:21:18Z] <midfavila> dummy
[2025-10-31T23:21:20Z] <kris_> but i need an audio interface anyway
[2025-10-31T23:21:21Z] <midfavila> >.>
[2025-10-31T23:21:32Z] <kris_> i already have an incredibly good mic so this would just be for goofs
[2025-10-31T23:21:47Z] <midfavila> yeah okay keep bragging about your counterstrike money
[2025-10-31T23:21:48Z] <midfavila> smdh
[2025-10-31T23:21:48Z] <kris_> could make a youtube video out of it probably
[2025-10-31T23:21:52Z] <kris_> i just need to get access to a 3d printer
[2025-10-31T23:22:06Z] <kris_> i went to the engineering branch of my uni the other day and asked if they had 3d printers i could pay to use and they were like
[2025-10-31T23:22:10Z] <kris_> >uhhhh nah man sorry they're for the clubs
[2025-10-31T23:22:15Z] <kris_> pissed me off
[2025-10-31T23:22:24Z] <midfavila> have you considered touching grass and joining the clubs
[2025-10-31T23:22:25Z] <kris_> fuck you ill design everything myself and pay for the materials just let me use one
[2025-10-31T23:22:32Z] <kris_> they have like fucking 40 of them mid
[2025-10-31T23:22:37Z] <kris_> i shouldnt have to join the club to use one
[2025-10-31T23:22:52Z] <midfavila> "oh nooooo i have to join a club to talk to other nerds about computer shit irl which is exactly what i was whining about but now i don't wanna do it"
[2025-10-31T23:22:59Z] <midfavila> "no mid you don't get it it's the PRINCIPLE of the matter"
[2025-10-31T23:23:06Z] <kris_> dont move the goalpost i literally went over there to just ask if i could use one
[2025-10-31T23:23:16Z] <midfavila> this is also a super easy problem to solve lol
[2025-10-31T23:23:24Z] <kris_> its not because if i join the club im gonna have to do stuff with them
[2025-10-31T23:23:26Z] <kris_> im not interested in that
[2025-10-31T23:23:32Z] <kris_> rn im trying to find enough people to start my own club
[2025-10-31T23:23:43Z] <kris_> *nix club
[2025-10-31T23:23:46Z] <kris_> already found one person
[2025-10-31T23:23:46Z] <midfavila> have you considered just attending one meeting and asking someone who is a member if they can print something for you
[2025-10-31T23:23:59Z] <kris_> i think im just going to ask someone i know who owns one personally
[2025-10-31T23:24:06Z] <kris_> he's in my group of metalheads
[2025-10-31T23:24:16Z] <kris_> instead of dealing with the uni
[2025-10-31T23:24:41Z] <kris_> or i guess i could send the model to my dad, they have a printer where he works because engineers
[2025-10-31T23:25:41Z] <kris_> once i get my own 3d printer its over you have no idea
[2025-10-31T23:25:50Z] <kris_> i WILL be sending something into space once i have the means to build a frame for a rocket
[2025-10-31T23:26:12Z] <midfavila> i don't really want to talk about this so i'm just going to go
[2025-10-31T23:26:29Z] <kris_> oh sorry i didnt mean to like upset you
[2025-10-31T23:26:38Z] <kris_> just goofy engineering stuff
