[04:05:44] + greego/rizon SUP

[04:22:17] + greego/rizon Im fucking annoyed cuz our family inherited my grandpa's iPhone X

[04:22:20] + greego/rizon my dad sold it

[04:22:26] + greego/rizon but then my phone was pretty new still

[04:22:39] + greego/rizon but thn I got hearing aids that support direct audio streaming

[04:22:49] + greego/rizon iPhones support that, pretty much a guarantee.

[04:23:03] + greego/rizon but my stupid moto g7 play doesnt support direct audio streaming.

[04:23:24] + greego/rizon iPhones are definitely superior for accessbility support.

[04:23:50] + greego/rizon cool

[04:24:05] + greego/rizon !bang

[04:24:39] + greego/rizon anyways, I like how my phone has a fingerprint sensor on the rear, I can just touch the sensor as I pick up the phone. It's very naturally placed I love it.

[04:24:56] + greego/rizon sup based

[04:25:21] + greego/rizon my dream phone is a phone that has direct audio streaming support.

[04:25:46] + greego/rizon So I may actually go for a samsung phone

[04:26:05] + greego/rizon samsung S20 is such a cool looking phone

[04:26:56] + greego/rizon probably just will get an S10

[04:27:08] + greego/rizon also i noticed, android phones no longer have a logical naming system.

[04:27:40] + greego/rizon but im in no rush to buy a new phone, just gonna wait for a year or so or until my phone breaks.

[04:28:29] + greego/rizon would be nice to have direct audio streaming, but I have another solution that also works right now.

[04:29:34] + greego/rizon I was on an automotive discord server and the owner was a somewhat nice guy, but he had strong political opinions. I mentioned to him that I was a little more left-leaning than right, and that resulted in me getting perm banned from it.

[04:29:50] + greego/rizon oh ked, btw I just use a device that streams to my hearing aids by hooking it up via headphone jack

[04:30:32] + greego/rizon this guy was an extreme right, libertarian dude.

[04:30:42] + greego/rizon and banned leftists.

[04:30:45] + greego/rizon like damn.

[04:31:07] + greego/rizon I found a different automotive server and its very chill its just about cars no one gives a shit about political opinion

[04:31:53] + greego/rizon I am a fan of mazda rotaries

[04:31:59] + greego/rizon but i wouldnt own one personally

[04:32:20] + greego/rizon like the mazda rx7

[04:32:43] + greego/rizon I drive a mazda 626, which is just their midsize sedan from the 90s

[04:33:15] + greego/rizon great car though, good on gas, looks small, but is decently roomy for a tall guy like me.

[04:33:48] + greego/rizon been pissed lately cuz my wipers scratched my windshield and theres a small chip in my line of vision

[04:34:13] + greego/rizon I'd say its repairable, but im still annoyed.

[04:34:44] + greego/rizon Yeah it costs me about 100 bucks to fill up every 2 weeks.

[04:35:09] + greego/rizon What happened is that i turned on my wipers after a car wash, without washing the wipers. So I think there was some dirt that got washed onto the wipers.

[04:35:15] + greego/rizon *shudders* i dont like thinking about it.

[04:35:37] + greego/rizon My first experience at a self-service car wash was not a good experience.

[04:35:44] + greego/rizon I didnt actually hear anything.

[04:35:53] + greego/rizon Im never doing a self-service car wash again.

[04:35:58] + greego/rizon Spent fucking 7 bucks.

[04:36:05] + greego/rizon 1 buck a minute, bullshit.

[04:36:41] + greego/rizon Im just going to do car washes at home from now on, I got the area to do it.

[04:36:53] + greego/rizon i just need to get some proper tools to do it

[04:37:05] + greego/rizon get some microfibre cloths, do the 2 bucket method.

[04:37:23] + greego/rizon and my mom accidently bought two bottles of spray on car wax thinking it was a window cleaner.

[04:37:32] + greego/rizon so I will put some that on too.

[04:37:51] + greego/rizon My paint is shiny from afar but if you look closely it looks like complete shit.

[04:38:45] + greego/rizon eh i dont plan on selling this car though

[04:38:59] + greego/rizon Im gonna keep it until it dies

[04:39:11] + greego/rizon or until electric cars become the only option

[04:39:20] + greego/rizon which i somewhat doubt

[04:39:32] + greego/rizon IKR

[04:40:07] + greego/rizon we also aren't ready to convert to electric vehicles, we just dont have the infrastructure yet.

[04:40:18] + greego/rizon ioniq5?

[04:40:20] + greego/rizon I love that car

[04:40:24] + greego/rizon It's amazing

[04:40:33] + greego/rizon That is the car I would go for if I was shopping electric

[04:40:53] + greego/rizon it's styling is very cool, and it has a traditional interior.

[04:41:04] + greego/rizon kind of a retrofuturistic styling

[04:41:24] + greego/rizon I hate the model 3 where every interior functionality is just on the one screen in the middle

[04:41:33] + greego/rizon Like the fucking glovebox release is in the screen of a tesla

[04:43:33] + greego/rizon Well they do have an backup gear selector its hidden but if the screen fucks up then the bbackup one will activate

[04:45:09] + greego/rizon One electric car today, i laugh at a bit is the mazda mx-5. It's not a bad car tbh, it looks nice. But the one thing is that huge front end you expect it to be a frunk, but it's not. It's just weird electric car stuff taking up that space. https://cdn.motor1.com/images/mgl/eQwN6/s1/mazda-mx-30-red-with-black-roof.jpg

[04:47:07] + greego/rizon but lately, i really started to admire hyundai's design.

[04:47:15] + greego/rizon they are really stepping up their game.

[04:47:31] + greego/rizon In the 90s their cars are basically disposable.

[04:47:53] + greego/rizon Noticed a veloster in my college parking lot

[04:48:05] + greego/rizon moto g7 play

[04:49:01] + greego/rizon would you rather have a new phone or a 3d printer?

[04:49:18] + greego/rizon Go for the printer ked.

[04:49:36] + greego/rizon If you don't need to upgrade, why do it when you can 3D print a kazoo.

[04:49:48] + greego/rizon When I was in high school

[04:49:59] + greego/rizon a locker had an ad for kazoos for sale

[04:50:03] + greego/rizon it was very weird

[04:50:17] + greego/rizon I was buying a kazoo from a locker it felt really sketchy

[04:50:32] + greego/rizon the deal was fine, but it's just "uhh buying something from a locker in a high school"

[04:50:37] + greego/rizon I did buy one ked.

[04:50:53] + greego/rizon pretty well made, but sounded like shit.

[04:51:18] + greego/rizon Im a kazoo enthuiast so I know a good kazoo when I play one

[04:51:23] + greego/rizon just hum around

[04:52:28] + greego/rizon I dont need to buy a 3D printer, cuz if I ever want to print something, I can just go to my local makerspace.

[04:52:40] + greego/rizon Cheaper than buying a 3D printer due to the rarity of me doing something like that

[04:52:48] + greego/rizon Canada

[04:53:12] + greego/rizon Some dude created a makerspace in an old mini storage lol, and it's a pretty awesome place.

[04:53:34] + greego/rizon I should show you what I made for a school project, I gotta find a picture damn idk how to share it on IRC.

[05:04:23] + greego/rizon oh yeah

[05:07:58] + greego/rizon found a site

[05:08:01] + greego/rizon oh

[05:08:43] + greego/rizon well i already got it on this site

[05:08:45] + greego/rizon https://postimg.cc/rDcXHvcZ

[05:09:45] + greego/rizon yeah, it is a solar cooker

[05:09:51] + greego/rizon I used it to cook a hot dog

[05:09:53] + greego/rizon yeah

[05:10:07] + greego/rizon it was good

[05:10:31] + greego/rizon took forever to cook though

[05:10:39] + greego/rizon However, i basically aced the project.

[05:11:00] + greego/rizon My high school you had to do a passion project as a graduation requirement.

[05:11:20] + greego/rizon What's funny is that my brother wrote an essay on linux operating systems.

[05:11:39] + greego/rizon he also aced it, but imagine being the teacher grading that.

[05:12:22] + greego/rizon the teacher was definitely not a nerd.

[05:12:38] + greego/rizon He is like a chillax dude who just drinks lots of tea, has a motorbike so nah.

[05:13:00] + greego/rizon He's definitely a book nerd

[05:13:08] + greego/rizon but i doubt he is a linux nerd

[05:13:18] + greego/rizon but my calculus teacher in college is definitely a nerd

[05:13:49] + greego/rizon he has a superhero as his background, complained about how he cant play around with windows, so he uses linux.

[05:14:48] + greego/rizon all my teachers in college are awesome

[05:15:53] + greego/rizon one dude's a farmer. That's my engineering teacher.

[05:16:07] + greego/rizon It is

[05:16:16] + greego/rizon our family does a bit of farming

[05:16:37] + greego/rizon we have two pregnant sows right now.

[05:16:45] + greego/rizon Expecting about 20 or more piglets hopefully.

[05:17:14] + greego/rizon combined, not each. A good sow will have about 10 to 12 piglets.

[05:17:40] + greego/rizon but it's not unusual for a sow's first litter to be just 8 piglets

[05:17:44] + greego/rizon also dpeneds on the breed

[05:18:03] + greego/rizon we dont do pink pigs, pink pigs are bred to be fast growing.

[05:18:23] + greego/rizon we raise heritage breed pigs, which our pigs are gray in colour.

[05:18:37] + greego/rizon yes

[05:18:44] + greego/rizon they love backrubs

[05:19:27] + greego/rizon We borrowed a big-ass boar for breeding. That thing was huge. My dad used a rake to give it backrubs.

[05:20:00] + greego/rizon ikr

[05:20:16] + greego/rizon but a fishing license allows the government to regulate how much fish is fished.

[05:20:30] + greego/rizon which is a good thing when they are endagered from overfishing.

[05:21:07] + greego/rizon Batmanhush: they dont regulate the kids in a family anymore

[05:21:21] + greego/rizon familes can be as big as they want in china now.

[05:21:43] + greego/rizon anyways I actually volunteer in a fish hatchery every other weekend.

[05:22:16] + greego/rizon Pretty awesome place tbh, the river had critically low salmon return

[05:22:50] + greego/rizon so they set up a hatchery, and now the natural salmon return is growing, which is amazing.

[05:23:21] + greego/rizon it feels great to volunteer for an environmental project nearby tbh.

[05:23:37] + greego/rizon Gets you off the ass, to do something different once in a while.

[05:24:35] + greego/rizon mhm

[05:24:54] + greego/rizon I love actually supporting environmental causes rather than doing what a lot of kids my age did which is go protest to the government.

[05:25:12] + greego/rizon I didn't go to a single climate change protest, i thought it was a waste of my time.
