The summary is "the hpr community comes together to converse"
Can anybody hear me?
No, I can't hear it.
Any other?
I'm just following this part.
I guess I can hear you, that minor.
Don't follow me, I'm at jokes there.
Is anybody hanging out here?
George.
I'm here.
I'm also on the jutsi that mimics them.
Oh, I died the jutsi, and I didn't see only it.
I was the only one there before.
I didn't want to see myself.
I'm here.
Had to have some technical difficulties,
I have to change my...
The headset that I use for mumble, I guess.
Not minor, what's difficulty?
I've been using a USB external sound card
and sometimes something doesn't let the microphone go through or something.
So if I go to a straight USB headset, I don't have that problem.
That's when he's Bluetooth sound core, your piece is,
and they sound better than the wired headphones that I had before.
At least I think they do it.
I don't know how it's going to through.
I've thought about going Bluetooth,
but I don't know any that can reliably work with Linux.
Also far, I have a set of tiles on they have good sound quality
and I have a sound core, and they were both of them were on sale
for a $30 piece set, and they're charged by USB-C.
I'm unboxing about paying many at the moment.
It's a budget unit that I got off Amazon.
So about paying many is it a tri-band or a dual-band?
I'm about to find out.
I thought it was just a dual-band,
but I also had to know a weather channel built in.
So I could always scan for the knowledge channel,
but this was nice to be able to switch over.
Yeah, I know I have the tri-band,
the 2-meter, 1.25, and the 70 centimeters.
It works pretty good for what I need to for.
I was going to pass it up when I saw that it didn't need a credo,
and I could just plug it in the battery to USB-C.
I just jumped on it.
It was $23.
So I think it was worth it.
Nice.
I wish the ones I got was kind of just right before USB-C,
and that was why I need a credo for my...
Yeah, I have it when I decided
for road trips, I'd rather have something that can be charged up
and on the road easily.
Sure.
I still can't get the whole of what the,
how did I use trip.
I just maybe just didn't look far enough into it,
or found the right type YouTube videos.
Church really nice application.
It saves you from setting all your channels manually.
Also, it's nice to, especially with most of all things.
You can...
They may tell you two meters by specification,
but in church, you can give yourself a little bit more bandwidth
that you probably shouldn't be allowed to use,
but anyway.
The mini comes with,
you can get an app for the program,
the channels,
but I'm not positive about using a Chinese app.
I guess I'll be fine.
I don't blame you.
Maybe if I find a looking to church,
but I think it's open source,
I'm not positive.
Do you know anybody?
I think about that.
Yeah, it's open source software.
I'm dang.
I could be wrong.
I may have just, but,
while according to the AI,
it says it's free and open source.
I'm assuming you're,
you're happy?
I am.
I haven't.
I've never tried a method.
Then again, so I can.
Really?
In a pinch,
I like just having the echo link app on my phone,
and then you can hit up to any repeater,
where echo link in it,
all around the world,
talk with people,
right from your phone.
Nothing external to it.
But I started like,
any additional connections?
No.
You just have to send
echo link people,
an email with a copy of your certificate,
and then they give you a user and password.
Oh, I say,
so is it on F-Droid or just the third floor?
It's on Android,
and I phone both.
As far as I know,
anyways,
I'm using an iPhone right now.
Toaster your ham?
Yeah,
I got my,
I got my license during
the big lockdown.
I got really bored.
Yeah.
Any 10 year old?
I guess I've seen ham's at 10 years old,
but I figured I'm 50,
I was turning 50 at the time,
and I just decided I'd have a lot of get this done.
So I got my general license.
Kilo Delta 9er,
Victor Mike Whiskey is my call sign.
Nice.
I got my, yeah,
during COVID,
I got in Canada.
We only have two licenses,
so we have our basic,
we get basic with honors,
and then you have your advanced,
and yeah,
I got my basic with honors.
So I'm a lot full spectrum,
and I think,
five hundred and five peak envelope
for 250 watts or whatever it is.
I initially just went for my,
the first level and basic,
and then I had time for the test lot,
and I had studied up on the general
so I figured I'd just try it,
and I did it and got it.
And then I tried for the,
how was the next one up?
I,
in the States,
I tried for that,
and it just was way so much,
too much information for me to process.
Yeah,
I don't know what the next level up is in the States,
but I know,
when you go from your basic to your advanced here,
it's a lot of component level stuff.
It's really technical.
My background isn't electronics,
but the,
you know,
I could mutter my way through it,
but at this point in time,
I don't need my bats.
I'm not setting up big repeaters or anything.
So testing for us,
our basic is a hundred questions,
out of a pool of,
oh,
no most a thousand questions,
and our advanced is a 50 question,
think out of a pool of 500 in some questions.
Go,
and my call sign,
Victor Alpha 2,
whiskey echo Charlie V A 2,
W E T.
Can I get yours again?
I'm going to write it down,
if you don't mind.
Kill Delta 9 or Victor Mike whiskey.
I don't know.
Can I transmit to Canada?
I think I'd have to have a big enough antenna.
And also,
I'll be also a base unit that has enough power to reach.
Yeah, exactly.
That's why I mean,
like pretty high powered HF single side back,
yeah.
I have never looked far,
but I wanted to put up on antenna.
We have a,
I shared that I could put a 10 up on,
so get eye enough.
My only big antenna,
because generally,
well,
most of what I have is all HDs.
So I got some bellphones.
I got some,
I got a G-AZO F-T-3-D-R or something like that.
For my main antenna,
it's a,
it's a Yagi,
it's a satellite antenna.
It's a satellite too.
If I get what it's called,
but it works really well.
I was able to contact the ISS with a handheld radio.
So I'm thinking about doing dry January,
but none of my friends are down at all.
I'm just getting a bunch of messages telling me
would enjoy myself.
Was that Carlson again,
on again toast. I had got a pen and paper. Victor Alpha 2 whiskey echo Charlie. How do they
give call signs in Canada right? How do they give them out? So they always start with Alpha.
No, which generally starts Victor and then it goes across provinces. So then it goes Victor
AE Alpha echo, either one Victor Alpha 2. Yeah, so it'd be like VA 2 or VA 2 for my province.
And then as we go across to the central and out west, it goes up by one number each time.
That dude contacted the International Space Station. When I was going through channel mode,
I didn't notice there was an ISS channel. Is that how you got to it? I didn't get through it
to it like that. I just looked at what I looked up there, transceiver frequencies, the upload
download. And then I set one of my well, my ASU FT3DR to the upload and download,
the upload link, download, whatever. And I was able to use the one set of frequencies to speak directly.
And then they have another set of frequencies for APRS. If you've ever played with that.
I have not. I've heard of it. It's a packaging system, right?
Correct. And my first time using it, I didn't even know really how to use my radio after I got my
license. I just kind of, you know, YouTube, don't want your things. I want to learn APRS. And it was
neat because it's a packet relay system. So I fired up my packets to the ISS and it repeats them
back down, but on like the whole bigger spectrum, right? And so I'm up in Quebec here. And a guy
replied to me from Chicago. My mind was blowing because my radio starts to light up and it's like
you have a message and you type me out of message. I didn't even know how to reply. I felt so ashamed.
Oh wow, I was in the Chicago area and I'm in can be. So you're saying I can bounce it up to the
space station of APRS and then reach you. Yeah, I mean, should be able to. I mean, I got as far
from Quebec to Chicago, but I'm sure if anyone was, anyone else was listening at the time,
the radio would have received it. The next major city in Kentucky is an hour south of me. It's
Sington. Lexington, I'm going to write that down in my notes because I'll jump on echo link eventually.
And sorry about that. That was my better half. And I'll try and jump on a repeater out there and see
if you can hear me. Lexington, you said. Right. Well, that's town is Cynthia Anna, but the other
the next closest is Lexington. I don't know how those were, I just was trying to think of
a point or reference for you. Yeah, yeah, no fair enough. I'll eventually get on that. I have to take
out soon. I got to go get some bread at the bakery. I don't buy normal bread because to much sugar.
Yeah, okay. Cool. So I'm going to check out it for a little bit. But I'll be back home in an hour
and I'll jump back on mumble. All right. So a piece, I'd like to see everyone's here again this year
and the more the marier and let's all have a great new use. I'll talk to yous all later.
Later. That was a really good one. Good love craft. How are you? Pretty good. Pretty good. How
about yourself hanging in there? Yeah. I meet lunch with Elle. She cooked a bunch of stuff. That's cool.
I'm first day of my vacation. So I'm living it up. Tomorrow is the last day of my vacation.
Oh, is it? Oh, sorry to hear that. Yeah, my work phone. I let the battery die and I plugged
it back in. I was looking. People have been assigned tickets directly to me instead of my group's
queue. Nice. Guess they don't buy the checked calendar to see if you're working or not, huh?
I put it in in four places. Have an out-of message. It shows if they look. Anyway, and they're not
supposed to assign cases. Design stuff to us directly as they've already. Oh, okay. Got you.
Yeah, that seems typical. It's no big enough to follow simple instructions. Same same
similar I work. How was your, your Christmas? Didn't do anything. A couple of days before that my
niece visited and we watched a scary movie after scary movie. She loves horror movies. I think a lot.
Oh, okay. Cool. Do you guys watch anything? Anything stand out? Crazy. Yeah. I think we watched
the it movies. Okay. I've got two more episodes in the the many areas that the new series
to finish. You haven't watched the series yet. I keep seeing clips of it. We watched some movie
with the Bill Scasguard where he had a home in Bader. It's got the guy that played in Burn Notice.
The main character. I freaking what it's called. Oh, the main character. Yeah, Michael,
whatever's in. Yeah. Cool. I don't know if you guys recognize that one. She got
asking for different different horror movies to watch. And I think we've seen both the Becky
movies with her. Maybe not right before Chris. It's pretty good. Oh, okay. Yeah, I think is there
is there a second one out? There is a second one. They're working on the third one. The first one,
I think was the second time I watched it when I finally figured out that the big baddie was Kevin
James. Cool. Yeah. I'll have to look forward to that. There's a couple of good things
that I've been looking forward to. A little behind I'm watching my horror flex. I haven't seen anything
too crazy disturbing recently. Ellen, we've been watching horror movies after Christmas.
Her and I watched a bunch of crampus and related horror movies on Halloween. Oh, okay. Christmas Eve.
Cool. Crapers never disappoints. Villains is the movie. Never heard of that. Jeffrey Donovan
is the Michael Weston from Burnett. Okay. That was great show. What burnett is? Yeah, honestly,
I only started watching it because Bruce Campbell was in it. Oh, okay. But yes, yes, it was it was amazing.
Yeah, so many, so many great actors in that in that series. But villains, after a pair of amateur
criminals break into a suburban home, they stumble upon a dark secret whose sadistic homeowner
will do anything from getting out. Oh, okay. Sounds good. So home invasion with the twist.
Yeah, there was another definitely a different movie. I saw it was a little bit similar to that
a couple of years ago. A perfect host. That doesn't sound familiar. I think it was like a
I think it was set in my missetton, England. There was like, I think they found like this old
like matter house and they broke in and crazy stuff started to happen. I'll see if I can find it.
The perfect host. Stars of Niles for exposure. David Hightnears. Oh, okay. That sounds interesting.
It's a home home invasion gone wrong. Let's see the description of my MBB is
and on the run convict, looking for temporary cover, finds it at the house of a very colorful
character. Okay, I'll have to add that to the list. The perfect host and John dies at the end.
We're two movies. I saw the same day and I immediately was like if it's less than $10 on Amazon,
I'm ordered and I got both of them for like really John dies at the end. It was awesome.
I really enjoyed that. I actually want to read the books. I have the audio book. I also have the other
I also have this book is full of stuff. Oh, okay. But I haven't listened to the books,
but I have the audio book. Library. Cool. Oh, I take a peek. All right. So I found the movie I was talking
about. It's called The Owners. A group of friends think they found an easy score at an empty house with
a safe full of cash. But when the elderly owners arrive home, things begin to go awry. It's got the
the girl from a game of thrones in it. Girl played Aia. Me, Mezi Williams. Love her and everything. She's
that I've seen. She's always great. I wonder if I've seen her. It looks like it came out in 2020.
I saw Vester McCoy is also in it. I have the others on my plaques, but I have not one.
The owners, not the others. All right. If I said the wrong name, it's the owners from 2020.
Did I say others? I thought you did. But it's definitely the owners. The owners. Yes. That's
what I'm like. I have a very, very similar broad strokes to what you were describing.
Break into a house. Stuff happens. Don't breathe. Have it seen that. No. Oh, I've got to watch that.
Absolutely same premise. Home and beige and gone wrong. Oh, you know what? Actually, I just
just read the description. I remember when this came out, but I never actually watched it.
I watched him at the theater. It, it was amazing. The second one is. Yeah. They made a sequel.
Different different different house or follows the guy and I think his daughter, the daughter,
or I forget it follows him and in a girl. Okay. It was less memorable than the
roof. Yes. It was a lot of scenes out of it, especially the turkey baster. We had a
fearful lump. We had a Columbus horror group that got movies sponsored at a local or house.
Theater and so they would give out prizes and stuff. They had stuff donated from some horror
podcasts, different stuff. So it was some movie. We got to glow in the dark plastic cups.
Okay. Cool. I'm looking for him. I've never used him a stack of four or five.
But the same spot where I had all the Linux lug cask coffee mugs from the Ohio Linux
space here. I sent him off to people and the gas. Wrong glow in the dark cups.
Is the jissie up? Is that? Yeah. Slash HPR. I put the link in the show notes a little bit
ago. Danny put it in the matrix. Okay. I just popped in. I found the cups. I have a
amusing mugs pinhole pin and pins lights out. Okay. Theater is July 22nd.
Hello moss. Welcome back. Thank you very much. I'm off to pick up my wife, but I have time
between them to try to check out this bopping mini. Hopefully I get room better reception out
by the Walmart. I'm not going to do it in my mobile home. Yeah. I'm looking at the shower for this
lights out. We're gonna see, yeah, this is another one I missed. I've never seen the previous
when I came out. I'm not that distalist too. You know, I don't even remember the movie,
but we got the cup so I saw it. They gave out prizes and stuff for people answering questions,
things like that before and after the show. They gave out for, don't breathe, they gave out
a three turkey bastors. Okay. I'm going to have to watch out and get that reference.
So, so, so the people that got the turkey bastors did know because they hadn't seen it,
put the people putting on the group that put on the fear Columbus or whatever.
Kill Columbus. It was called Kill Columbus. Kill Columbus movie night. They had already screened it.
So, so they knew stuff about the movie and yeah, it's part of the big twist in it.
Oh, I can imagine, but yeah, I'll have to watch. So who's still here?
Morten Singh. I'm here. Cool. Anything exciting happen? No, lovecraft and I'm just talking
about movies we've watched. Yeah, not a big movie book, but oh well. Yeah, you've definitely got
some interesting picks, Morten Singh. I have to admit, I'm glad you turned me on to the terrifier series,
though. Did you see the All Hollows Eve where that starts the short? I did, actually. I haven't
watched it. I haven't watched Terrifier 3 yet, but yeah, I did catch the All Hollows Eve one.
Pretty interesting stuff. It's a five movie has planned. Okay. And the first one was set
the first two. Yeah, I'm always impressed at what they can, they bring a decent enough story
to some of these lower budget ones. Another series I always liked was it was a
jersey that any of those VHS films, you know, were just like these little, you know,
yet I think of what three of them, but I cute to watch. Yeah, there was another one just
came out, I don't know, in the last couple of months, it might have been called VHS Halloween or
something like that, but pretty good stuff. There's I think 99 and 85. Oh, yeah, they're like,
references to the years. Yeah, I kind of dig them to you know, you get the little story
then it moves on and I don't kind of interesting stuff, too. Can you hear the brown noise?
Sounds like you're playing music or somebody singing? Yes. It was watching a Christmas Eve. We
watched the last Christmas, Sappy Christmas, and then we watched the Violet Night Santa Slaze,
8-bit Christmas, 8-bit Christmas, Neil Patrick Harris, the funny, where he's relating to his daughter,
you know, to real mean of Christmas. Okay. Rare exports a Christmas tale? Oh, that's so good.
Yeah, yeah, it, I don't know if you had it dubbed. I think ours was subtitled. Yeah, my, my
was subtitled. Yeah, but it was still great. That was a very silent night, a carnage for Christmas,
and all the creatures we're storing. We watched very, okay. Sounds like a couple of winners in there,
for sure. I watched one last year about a Christmas tree that came to life at a house party and
started murdering people. It was, it was, every bit as horrible as it sounds. It's like 15 minutes
long. It's a short movie. Um, I don't know if it was quite that short, but it was, it wasn't too
too long. Um, I forgot what it was called, but yeah, it was not great. Well, hopefully tonight,
I will take the time to edit full circle weekly news episode for 46. I think it is and get that to
Ronnie, and we'll have some news again for this week. Movies, I don't know, especially horror movies.
Anyone have any ideas? What I could do for HDR? I think I did three short shorts this year.
What do you guys have been done? Well, I did one on a couple of wireless keyboards that I've had.
I remember that one. Um, what else did I do? I don't know what I did. He needed shows. I did
shows, you know. Lovecraft was the Christmas tree movie tree bench? Uh, I'm actually, I just found
the one I saw. It is called the killing tree. I did see tree bench, and that looks like it's 16
minutes long. Uh, yeah, the killing tree. Uh, it says the original title was demonic Christmas tree.
But just found it right now. Yeah, on Christmas Eve, a widow cast spelled a resurrector,
executed husband, but the spell goes wrong, and the husband is brought back as an evil Christmas tree,
help in on getting revenge on the one who caused this execution. Do not recommend.
I mean, it's got a 17% on tomatoes and uh, yeah, I have it. I just have one. Well, that's
how they seasoned. If you're uh, if you're looking for something, maybe you could add it at the
bottom of the queue. We also watched a Bambi. I forget what's called the Bambi parody. We're
Bambi. Uh, how, how was that? Um, I loved it. Which is your original story? The, uh,
oh, yeah, she, she knows the original. Uh, yeah, it was exactly what I, yeah, they definitely
seem to be uh, churned out a lot of that kind of stuff. I guess as these uh, as these things are
going public demand, what was it like, three pop eye movies and there's already a two,
two, three or three or four Mickey Mouse thing, but will there's a Peter Pan one that
something like that? Oh, okay. Yeah, the second poo blood and honey, they were able to put in the
public pick. Oh, okay. And why, why not? I also saw that there was low budget five nights of
breadings. Oh, the uh, the second one just came out. Uh, yeah, but they're like a parody one.
But yeah, oh, a parody one. Okay. Or low budget or whatever. Like, alien versus predator, there was a
thunder. Yeah, yeah, like the uh, the snakes on a train guys. Exactly. Yeah, I did, I did watch the
sequel to uh, five nights at Freddy's. I'm sorry. It's both like they're doing it. Oh, yeah,
I could foresee this being a long term. Keep churned them out. Are you a, you were stranger
uh, things fan? Oh, yeah, we're uh, I have an alarm set 20 minutes before it starts and rewatch
the last 30 minutes. Oh, okay. It's been asked all week how long to one very happy on Christmas
to stop. Oh, like that's, that's the end. And I was like, yeah, I haven't started watching any of it.
Yeah, I figured I'll just do it all at once and it is there just one more episode uh, tonight
or tomorrow. I guess. Yeah, it's one hour long. Okay. The introduced a lot more content in the
last three episodes. And uh, I don't know how they're going to plot. I've seen some negative
comment tellies too much stuff. Great. Yeah, I, that's kind of what I was afraid of too. And I did
see briefly one thing that I stopped reading because I didn't want to read anymore, but um,
trying not to spoil it. But I always, you know, has a lot of hope that they're going to
tidy these things up and, you know, button the story up. But, you know, that's not always the case.
Like, lost. I'm still happy. I was working. Restart what? Uh, yeah. I mean, like, I had like no
books where I was taking notes and writing stuff down and watching like different, different interviews
with like the people and like all the stuff that they said it definitely wasn't this and I was like,
yeah, now it, it's, it's that, like, you guys are just terrible. Yeah, it was, it was such a
time. I'm hoping they do do a better ending. But from, yes, I, I mean, from I, I really am liking and
I, I don't know, I, I, I hope that that doesn't get ruined as well. I mean, I think they're starting
to kind of wrap things up a little bit. So I'm guessing we should be getting another season, not too long
from now. I haven't, I haven't really been looking, but I think it usually just started up in like January
February. So we'll see what happens. Uh, yeah, uh, filming wrapped up. We'll come for it.
Yeah, I'm adding that to my, uh, tonight to watch list. Oh, guys. Yeah, it's gone. It's going.
That's good. Oh, I think are we still meeting this Friday? What do you mean we pale face?
Well, not you. Unless you want to join. You're, you're welcome to join. What are you
signing the up for, Joe? Um, the Linux lug cast Friday at, well, what, 7pm your time? I know,
9pm your time. Why? Well, think about it. How you doing, Joe? Can't complain. Sure. You can.
I'm sure I could. I am working today. Wow. Yeah. Ha ha. Yeah. But I, I do get to go to a hockey
game later. Oh, that's good. Well, we have been having a very fun holiday season. We, we bought a new
car. It was financed through a credit union. We were not a member of. We couldn't get logged in to
set up our account on the credit union. We just finished doing that today. But yesterday, the car
died with some kind of transmission problem. And they don't have anyone in the dealership shop to
even look at over. So we have to wait a few days. And there's a possibility. They'll just let us
swap it out for another car on their lot. That could be okay. I really like this car. I hope
it's just something they can fix easily. You. Go ahead. Um, basically, two eight terabyte drives that
died. And, um, one SSD that died. Like, that I don't know how old it was. I was going to ask you
awesome. And this is like the first time we've talked in a while. So that hard drive you sent
with that computer that you sent me. How old was that? Which company? Oh, the M7. M620. Yeah.
That was out of hard drive or SSD. It was an SSD. Okay. What brand was it? Oh, gosh, it was an
off-brand. Uh, King fast. Okay. That King fast wasn't that old compared to the, uh, I only had
it in there for maybe nine months to a year. Oh, damn. That's what died. Because I had a whole bunch of
really, really cheap ones. A friend of mine, when I didn't have any SSDs, a friend of mine tried to send
me a couple and he wound up sending me 10 because I was on this episode. And they were a real off-brand.
I mean, there was no nothing on it just SSD. But I still have some of those left. I grabbed a
grabbed a spinning disc and tossed it in there for now. I don't remember who I sent all my spinning
disc to. I think it might have been you. Um, I don't know. A couple of people said, I know bill
sent me some a while back and I ended up using them for various things. Yeah, I was going to get
on the show Saturday and nobody showed up. Yeah. Yeah. I was, I had been planning to and then
I got busy and couldn't. And bill has all this computer broken down. Yeah. It seems like everybody's
computers just decided to take a vacation to. Yeah, I had a couple of days there where those
eight terabytes drive just kept dropping. So that was not fun. Yeah, I think your bill would hook up
the Z800 that I bet that it would be a hit on his power bill. Yeah. I think that that baby has a
1250 watt power supply. Yeah. It was a good machine, though. I could run anything I wanted to run on it.
And he had your house with it. The ducking on it was impressive and the cable management was impressive.
It was a thing of beauty, really. Yeah. Those giant ginormous machines are. He says he hasn't
really worked with it much yet. And he's wondering what to do with it. If I remember right.
Well, he's got 24 gigs of RAM and he should be able to do something. Yeah, a little bit.
And it's got two quad core single threaded Z guns in it. I've talked about that machine enough
over the years. You probably memorized this text by now. I finally did get my TV machine hooked
up. You may have, I don't know if we hit your server yet. I don't know if you have either.
Like I said, it's been up and down lately. It's been a problem having to, you know,
refix this machine or my whole mini racks set up every couple of weeks. I don't know. I know
one of the drives had was like the drive that I was using as a where I was going to put my
movies going forward. And I don't know how many movies made it on to there. So I don't know how
many movies that I lost. But it couldn't have been a lot. So it seems like everything is still
available on my server. And hopefully it's a little bit more stable now at least for a while.
Yeah, Bill got his set up. So well that we don't even have to use flute for it anymore.
And then I do have the jelly fins still running as a secondary. But it has, it has all the
movies and TV shows on it. So I think we're only hooked up to the jelly thin.
For me, you might, I know you were previously hooked up to my plaques. I don't know if I gave you
the jelly fit. Actually, did I even forward the port from my jelly fin or am I just using it?
I hope you did. Because I think all we're hooked up for is the jelly thin.
Very. Plaques was getting really weird on us that we were using it. So they wanted us to pay
for it, even though we were using a pre-engineered on a free system. Yeah, that's annoying.
Well, maybe they're going under and they need to money. Could be, or they were getting backlash from,
you know, pirate about piracy, you know, people pirating stuff and then sharing it with their friends.
Yeah, nobody. Nobody, nobody. Marvel people. Yeah, Bill managed to even find a copy of
prime evil for us to watch. Oh, the TV show. That was a good TV show. Yeah, five seasons. Yeah,
I know I had it, but I think it was one of the things that got lost, and then I just never picked it back
up. Well, you can grab a lot of the bill with nothing else, but yeah, that the same guy is the star
of that show as is the star of Shetland, which we were, which we'd already gotten build to get us.
Yeah, uh, tried watching the fallout TV show the first episode of the first
season and we watched about poor episodes of that and just did not get better. So yeah,
I mean, I'm like, I think I'll. And I still got both seasons, but I don't think I'm going to
continue watching it fallout fallout fallout fallout fallout fallout. But I did try and play a fallout
for but it was, you know, a, uh, a little bit too much about building your base and farming.
I wanted a little bit more, you know, first person shooter. He's the one that's Swiss
the matter. He's one and season two of Swiss, the Metalware Farm. I haven't heard well
before. Yeah. Very, very good. Was it on sci-fi? That's a good question. I don't think it was sci-fi.
So, Swiss the metal is, uh, I think this PlayStation game posed a popular lip
in the cars have weapons, different quirks, and skills vehicle has a special weapon.
They made a TV series. It was on peacock. It has a 99% rotting score for people.
For people who didn't get peacock, it doesn't run in Linux.
None of them have the weapon out there. Nope.
At least not any web browser I am willing to use.
It plays on plex and jellyfish.
Yeah, I started rewatching a forest gate.
Oh, that's a trip.
Oh, and the best I find shows.
Yeah, I agree. I wasn't big on the last two episodes.
The peacocky per wars, the specials.
We haven't seen those yet. We've watched all of the series and could not get the peacocky per
wars, but we've got them now on neither yours or bills.
Right, right.
And then I watch that new movie alter.
I physically have all of them.
I physically have all of firefly and serenity to that count.
Yes, twice.
Did you ever watch the second season of Firefly?
There was no second season of Firefly.
Exactly.
One of the best shows to be canceled.
Oh, there's the movie, the movie helps.
Yeah, yeah.
It also hurts. It also hurts to watch.
On my shoulders.
Oh, a lot of my favorite characters die.
Well, yeah, watch has gone on and book has gone.
They keep talking about making more shows.
And they could do it before watching book died.
But now the actors are gone.
Yeah.
Well, book has gone anyhow.
Yeah.
And also everybody else was like, you know, 25 years older, 26 years, 27 years older.
Yeah, it makes it hard to do a prequel.
Yeah.
Yeah.
More than see did you say you watch altered?
I did not.
I'm just looking at it.
Altered was the one you were saying you liked.
I watched it.
It started out good.
It kind of ended a little cheesy.
The Parscape.
I remember correctly.
There was a CEO change at sci-fi.
Oh, the incoming CEO wanted to expand Stargate,
because he loved Stargate at Parscape.
So even though it had great reviews, he killed off Parscape.
And you're reading this.
And wouldn't let the Henson company move it to another channel service company,
whatever, and the people fought to get the storyline wrapped up.
Apparently there were several more season.
The story arc.
Yeah.
Plant planned out.
So yeah, I'm happy that they made the peacekeeper wars to wrap up the storyline,
to point out whatever was supposed, whatever was planned.
Planed to be told, it wasn't.
Oh, and then I also watched the new running man.
Joe, we've only watched the original reboot.
Are you making what you call it?
Yeah.
Yeah, and we watched him back the back.
Joe, I think we only have three more shows on your server.
And we're getting near the end of suits.
Cool.
We got, uh, we're ready for peacemakers season two episode three.
Farcecape season three episode 12 and suits season eight episode 15.
Yeah, peacemakers pretty damn good.
And then if they bring back a season three of Tulsa King, that'll be on your server.
Yeah.
Oh, and I finally watched Deadpool and Wolverine.
I really enjoyed that.
It was enjoyable, but it was really minor.
Well, I think it's going to have some pretty far-reaching effects in the new movies.
We will see.
We haven't watched any Marvel movies since that one.
Yeah.
I mean, we really like the Marvels ourselves,
we're weird, you know.
Well, I do enjoy a lot of the Marvels.
I still need to watch, um, what, um,
turning into the galaxy three.
I mean, I watched one, two, and then the Christmas special.
But I haven't watched three yet.
Yeah, we saw three.
I'm not sure we saw the Christmas special.
I think we may have.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it had a Kevin Bacon in it as Kevin Bacon.
So one degree of Kevin Bacon?
Yeah, it had Kevin Bacon as Kevin Bacon.
Oh, no way.
Yeah.
Who do they have in his eggs?
I clearly put off a, um,
I said who played eggs?
Oh, they didn't have eggs with the bacon.
Well, what good is that for a breakfast anyhow?
Exactly.
They just had Kevin with the bacon.
You know, there's a dog training shop here in Knoxville called All Dogs Go to Kevin.
Thank you.
Yeah, we've cut back.
Last time Joe and I talked, we had three cats who were down to one now.
But he did move.
Yeah, we had to give one away before the move.
And then one of the other ones just went batch hit here at the new house.
And it was going to do damage.
And we couldn't do that even though it was a sweet cat to us.
He was beating up our older cat.
And he was dumping over the water bowl and whatever he could do.
Oh, my God.
Yeah, just didn't put up with change.
Well, we really didn't expect them to.
And Cecil's just hanging on by himself.
We probably should have gotten rid of Gremlin and kept coyote.
Yeah, coyote and Cecil were from the same litter.
Well, I still got my two cats on my one dog.
Yeah, we got told the pet deposits are not refundable.
So it's okay if we get another cat that we're not getting the money back.
Yeah, yeah.
But when you move out, they have to use the non-refundable pet deposits first.
Towards fix any damages before they use your regular deposit or at least in Texas, they do.
Okay, I don't think it's that way in our lease.
Anyhow, we're not moving out.
We barely get the manage to move here.
I'm too old to move again.
Well, it's actually, you know, in your lease or not, yes, it's non-refundable.
So if there were zero damage and you moved out tomorrow,
then you should get your full regular deposit back
but not your pet deposit.
When you do move out, if the laws are same in your state as they are in Texas, of course.
And this is based on, you know, the law, not your signature on anything.
The non-refundable portions have to get used first.
They count directly towards anything that needs to be fixed first.
And then the rest of it counts.
So that's good.
It's good to know.
I'm sure that'll makes his hand relax a little bit.
Yeah, a lot of landlords like to ignore that, though.
And you might have to point it out to them when you're moving out.
Anyhow, I'm figuring probably sometime March or April,
if things come down, I should be back at them cast.
Okay.
Well, we miss you.
We wish you were there.
I miss it too, but I don't have enough rains to keep up with what I'm doing now.
Yeah, well, I just barely keep things closer.
Holyly news going.
Yeah.
Well, we're not really doing a lot of inwards.
I know this next show is going to be predictions.
And I know you're on for last year's prediction show.
So all you would have to do is come in and talk about, you know, your predictions from last year.
And then potentially make new predictions for this next year.
I don't have a clue.
I'm not keeping up on my own life.
Let alone what's going on in Linux.
It's not good.
Remember, the newscasts, I'm just reading the words, you know?
Yeah.
Well, I'm just trying to convince you, you know, because we like having your round.
If you still don't want to do it, I'm not going to be pushy about it.
Well, I know you and Bill and uh, uh, to a lesser extent, um,
um, Dale have been being helps for us over the years.
And I definitely want to get back to that.
I don't really know the new guys too much.
Right.
Right.
Charles and Jim.
Yeah, I was there when they came in, but I might have done a show or two with them,
but it's not the same thing as really knowing them like I know you guys.
Right.
But the um, the lug cast, when the lug cast, is really no work at all.
You just get in, uh, get on there and and talk smack.
And fun.
Yeah.
We enjoyed it.
Well, I'm getting ready to go to Atlanta and play some more music.
You can even get on there and talk about that.
Yeah, that's one thing about HPR.
I can do music show, but I have to make sure everything is uh,
either GPL-0 or um, um, uh, I'll come on my brain's gone.
Um, yeah, uh, past the board will be.
Yeah.
Well, yeah, no copy right.
Exactly.
And a lot of stuff I write my lyrics aren't copyright, but the music probably is.
Right.
I'm sure it wouldn't be the same to get on the show and read the lyrics to something
because I can't use the music.
I just talk about your experience going to the show.
What you enjoyed, what you didn't enjoy, what you would improve.
Things like that.
Maybe I could just do a show on being a substitute teacher.
Yeah.
Give me something to do.
Yeah, it's basically a babysitting job, but it doesn't pay as well.
I have applied to the school district that is closer to where I live now,
and they do pay better, but they haven't even responded to my application yet.
That depends on when you put in for it.
I mean, towards the end of the year, then it's probably not something they're really looking at
adding anybody else, but um, maybe with the uh, school you're starting back up on what the sixth.
Well, Alina is Granger Schools took me in when I applied right away because they needed him.
I do not know about uh, uh, Morris Town Schools.
Well, just follow up with him.
Yeah, I get uh, I think it's age 274 for Mondays and Fridays and 7274 for the rest of the week
if I work uh, Morris Town Schools pays 100 a day regardless of the day.
But I've been at Granger High for five years now.
The kids pretty much know me.
I have a little sight business selling my hats for that matter.
I'm up to 102 subscribers on my uh, YouTube page.
And when I started being a substitute teacher, I only had like 26.
You'd also send them over to watch Midcast.
These kids don't even know what they're running in a Chromebook.
Yeah.
And I mean, in in the operating system class, they don't know what operating system
they're running in the Chromebook.
What are you going to do?
So far, I've met one student who knew what Linux was.
Yeah, that's crazy when you have to explain what Linux is.
Yeah.
Leave the device in your hand right now.
It's either running the Linux kernel or a really old version of the BSD kernel.
Yeah, the guy that teaches the operating systems class keeps asking for me when he needs to take
a day off.
That's at least a good thing.
But I don't think it really helps his kids to have me there.
I can tell them all about, oh, I tell them in regards to the operating systems class
that you'd be willing to give a class on a specific version of Linux.
Take your pick.
You mean, I usually go in with my, I always go in with my laptop.
And my laptop has 37 mint 22. something.
And Farron OS, the latest version, which is still based on 22 over.
I'm really not a digital hopper anymore.
I'm a desktop hopper.
I've got Mocha on one.
I've got my tear cinnamon on the other.
And I've got all the other on the third.
All running on a boaty back end.
No, all running on the vundu back end.
And even boaty runs the vundu back end.
The difference is boaty and Farron are still running in 20204.
My wife is communicating with me.
That is unusual.
No, no.
The timing is unusual.
How so?
She wants me to log in to little Caesars and talk to her while I'm talking to you guys and order the
pizza and everything all at once.
It's messing with my brain.
One thing we have in Morris town.
We didn't have a Knoxville is a Jets pizza.
And that really is better than most of the main brand pizzas.
But our favorite is still a South Coast in Knoxville.
That's the best pizza in the world.
And you have to go to Knoxville to get it.
Last time we went to South Coast was from my birthday.
All right, all this talk up pizza is shut the room down.
I'm sorry, I'm hungry.
I'm also coordinating with the wife and trying to work.
One thing nice about our new location.
It's closer to the truck stops that Bill and Dale are likely to go through.
If they ever get on I-81, they're going to cruise right past us.
That must be painful.
I see a message that Dan's aim is disconnected.
Oh no.
Dan's ASUS.
Does not say ASUS.
He changed it. That's hilarious.
Well, it connected again.
So I'm sure he's feeling better now.
He reconnected his prolapse to Anus.
Better connected than disconnected.
Yeah.
Well, he's in the tilt room.
He's probably not actually there then.
Well, this is the first time I had mumble on my computer since last year.
Yeah, back in the day when we used to use mumble.
Well, the last time I used it was last New Year's Eve party.
It was like this.
And I didn't even have it installed on anything I had.
I managed to even install it.
I don't feel why not.
Why is little Caesar's trying to open an app on my computer?
That's dumb.
Yeah, there no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Sorry, this isn't the operating system for that, buddy.
Here about the location.
I want to make an order.
Oh, love craft, what's been going on?
HV.
And that's a much better just hanging out on vacation for a week now.
So, uh, get some stuff done around the house and all that.
And get ready for the New Year's.
No, I think he got off the HV and is on a Dell now.
That, that HV love craft.
Watch anything interesting?
Now, I was talking with Warden Seerler.
I was watching every talking a little bit about horror and stuff, uh,
by got a couple more episodes of the New It Series.
The finish, uh, I think I'm up to Episode 6.
Um, I watched that, uh, pleurbus.
I finished that.
I thought that was pretty good.
Um, not a whole lot other than that, though.
Kind of been busy with work and stuff.
Which pleurbus about that's, uh, aliens come to Earth and pretty much
take over everybody.
Um, there's only a handful of people who haven't been basically assimilated by them.
Uh, but they're all, they're all super friendly and they try and, uh, try and make everybody
who's still around happy, um, and do everything for them and stuff like that.
Uh, one of the guys from the X files, uh, is involved with it.
It's kind of, it's kind of interesting, um, they developed a lot of the, the main character pretty well
and, um, wraps up definitely in the second season.
So hopefully that'll happen.
Start off that they get a radio signal and they do cipher, uh, to DNA coding and they create it.
It's the, yeah, and they work, they get it from space and the lab and then it starts spreading
rapidly and yeah, it's pretty pretty.
I don't want to, I don't want to spoil it too much, but it's, it's worth a watch.
I think you would like it if you're into sci-fi stuff, it's especially with a different twist.
It's, uh, you know, just not a rehash or something else. It's pretty original.
It's less, it's less funny than unity.
What's unity?
I'll be back in the morning.
The hype mine.
Oh, oh, oh, yeah.
Can you hear me?
Uh, thanks.
Yes, I can hear you.
Can you hear me?
Yeah.
Yep.
Can you hear me?
Yes.
I couldn't hear anything.
A unity from Rick and Mortar.
Have you checked if you're audio with that 20% for no reason?
Check if what?
You're audio with that 20% for no reason.
Because that keeps happening to me.
If you're audio with that to 20%.
The volume or is there a setting in the end of volume?
Do that keeps happening to me?
No, my volume.
Yeah.
Wearing.
I think that's something that's in Elanado,
on the only one of us has the problem.
But it's one or the problem.
Oh, my random stops.
Good thing.
Cough.
Look at that.
Oh, anybody got any interesting projects?
Like unboxing stuff.
It's always an interesting project.
Part would be it was normal unboxing as opposed to packing unboxing.
My problem right now is getting an iPhone to put up the shelving to unbox stuff onto.
Anybody else?
Well, the thing I got going on right now is
the parts get here.
I'm going to upgrade my network.
bunch of my devices to put a half gig and see how things work.
And that, it's just been resetting up my mini rack over and over again.
It's things fail and I fix it.
That's awesome.
Our drives.
Oh, did you guys see that today is the last day that you can update your
stadium controller to make it be Bluetooth using Google's tools online?
It only takes a couple of minutes.
Yeah, today is the final day.
We're going to have the tool available online.
That would be interesting if I knew what year it was.
It's a controller.
I think games.
Yeah, I think I got that wrong.
I kind of got that idea.
But if you don't have one, you don't have to update it.
Right.
The stadium controller, you know, it came out with Google
Stadium and then that got discontinued.
And the controllers are still out there.
But instead of just letting them be e-waste,
they had an online tool where you could go to their website
with your stadium controller hooked to your machine
and click a couple of buttons and make it so that it works
over Bluetooth to connect to anything.
But that tool is closing down today.
To be glad that Bill sent me that controller when he did,
it's all set up.
Yeah, another last Google item.
So do we have anyone coming up on the new year yet?
I don't think we have anyone in Siberia.
Yeah.
Just saw a cartoon in the full circle magazine, telegram group.
Grandpa, what was your Linux server like when you were my age?
It's still running, son.
I don't think you heard that because I was in a different window.
Oh, no, we heard it.
Oh, okay.
The captions says, some legends never reboot.
I'm surprised I can't find a map online that shows
the year moving.
Ah, they're right-bounded.
Okay.
It's currently 2026 in some parts of Eastern Europe and Iran and Pakistan.
So the plus four times on this already in 2026, the plus three is not.
So in six minutes, we will be getting East Africa, Saudi Arabia and Turkey,
and most of Russia.
And we have a happy new year for those countries coming up in a few seconds.
Ethiopia, Madagascar, Tanganyaka, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Turkey, Syria, Israel, Russia.
And it looks like probably Belarus.
I missed a few like Somalia Jordan, happy new year those people.
Yeah, I'm going to get screwed up.
Next up is Finland, the Baltic States, Eastern Europe, Egypt and Libya, Sudan,
South Sudan, and down to South Africa.
Joe, are you putting anything good?
I haven't kept up on what Joe's done, but he did print me a nice stand for my M600 tiny.
All nice.
Well, one of my two anyhow, the other one actually came with the standard stand.
But the stand Joe printed with pretty good.
What would have you put up to Moss?
Not much.
We moved in November, about 37 miles away, and we haven't fully unpacked yet,
and it's been a big mess, and we bought a new car, and the new cars already broken down
before we even finished getting the financing done.
And nothing is spectacular.
Well, that sounds like a lot.
I turned 73 in December.
So you've had a big year?
Yeah, it's been way too big.
I still need to post, I've got this system 76 machine that Dale sent me,
that I need to post and sell to somebody that's willing to pay five or six hundred bucks
for a perfectly good machine that doesn't run it.
Very much of anything.
I have been successful loading, of course, PopOS, also elementary OS,
and also BODY, and everything else I tried doesn't work.
Dale said he got fedora in a run on it.
Now you're still helping out with the BODY community?
Yeah, as much as I can, which isn't much, but it's more than most people.
I had an article in the latest full circle magazine, BODY Corner.
I haven't kept up with that very well.
I've been several months since my last BODY corner in full circle magazine.
So what has been new, what has mostly been new with BODY has been that Robert Wiley
has been sick a lot, and has been having to work to pay for his medications,
and hasn't been getting much done on the ISO.
He did write scripts for putting Mocha on either Ubuntu or Debian
that anyone can just grab Debian or Ubuntu and run the script,
and they've got Mocha running on it.
That's cool.
We still haven't decided as a group, whether we're just going to move all the way to Debian,
since it's so much more usable than it was six years ago,
and stop worrying about what Ubuntu is doing.
The latest version of what we call DeBODY, which is BODY on Debian,
is version 7 beta, and it's in the third beta, but it works as good as anything.
There's just apparently he butted his head up against something he can't get fixed,
or hasn't been able to get the time to fix, but we're still running on 2204.
Stefan has been doing a good job updating Mocha and making new themes or updating the old ones.
One of the problems with moving on to 2204 is that my brain just went out.
There's a particular, oh, something in E does not run in 2204.
I'm not remembering exactly what offered off my head, but for that means that if you do load BODY,
you don't, if you try and run BODY off a 2204, or you don't get the terminal package for me.
So you don't get terminology if you try and run Mocha on 2204.
Really, that's weird. I don't want to think I didn't like from the Lightman package,
that the Lightman stuff was their file manager. I never really liked their file manager.
Well, BODY has in the past used fileman FM, and is currently using tunar.
Yeah, that's usually what I did. I usually want to put in tunar or PCM NFM on stuff,
because the Lightman was just horrible.
Well, welcome to BODY, because that's what we're using, you know, and there are a lot of
improvements in Mocha that are not in Enlightenment, because they keep trying to move forward.
Oh, my wife got home. I got to go pull some packages out of the car. Okay.
Right here, Joe.
Fair enough.
PN-20. I'm sure I see high enough, and I just go back.
There's Ben in County. No. Besides, I might cheat yellow displays.
So what? PPLO displays. It's a combination ESP attached.
I haven't seen them. Get my program to do what I want to. Finally, finally,
get sure. I know Ken has some thinking about playing. What are you thinking about using them for?
Goal to make a little amateur radio macro that I can on a hand radio and have
macros that I would send regular my call sign or combination. I'll sign with a test
between reverse beacon network. That's not really cool. I'm hoping to take a look.
Do we have show notes? The APR shared URL for files.booguy.com slash.
I don't think I have any show notes set up. For the most part, we usually wind up doing all the
show notes afterwards, because last several years, I had a ether pad set up for show notes
and nobody really used it, but we usually set up a page made Lovecraft and Scotty who went up
doing the show notes afterwards, mostly Scotty on Lovecraft, and then we'll set up a whole other
ether pad and go dig up show notes for everything. I can't give those two enough credit for the amount
of show notes that they do. Sounds like a good plan. I think people were entering
show notes somewhere. Really? I didn't set up a pad. Someone made the comment about it working
weird when two people are more worth typing. It's not, it doesn't sound like that. She, oh,
oh, you guys, or whatever, is not the regular show notes link. I think I forget the
globalization that was on. I think there was a problem in a browser with the certificate,
or with it going through a certain ISC, maybe it's in a mumble. Well I know
Archer was having problems with the stream while back. But again, I didn't
spectrum or something block and something. I didn't set up a show notes ether pad.
Links. Files that show notes that who guy is, is it just, those are just two links to the
stream, flashed stream. There wasn't any slash stream to that. No, that works. Yeah, both of those
links aren't ether pads. Those are, uh, good at it. Those are the, to the stream. I'm gonna
sure. Is that a 3D printer in your background? Oh, yeah, not crap. Oh, I wanted to print a little.
I've got come up better. Well, I'm back from carrying in the bags. And why? It's just
HDR. Oh, there's a link. Somebody set up show notes. Okay. Yes, so you found it. I just, I just found the link.
Okay. Was it missing? I didn't set one up. But we got one. Uh, the, uh, where to go?
The, um, it's towards the bottom of the middle. No, at the end of the Hackerpupagradio.org slash.
Dot. The jitzie link is Ronald. It's wrong. Where? Uh, on the Hackerpupagradio site.
It has, uh, HDR and why he, it's just, HDR. Right now, well, you're in it right now, aren't you?
I see more than see lovecraft and. Minnix and B. Oh, and then one of the stream started again.
It's just, it's just HDR and that, uh, and what is that? Is a rainwarm t-shirt? My friend
usually the base player in the, I did shirts for them, white on black, which plastic all
make shirts and proper. But this one was, I use, oh, wow, really? Yeah. So, there's several DIY artists
that, uh, make shirts. That looks amazing for bleach. Oh, bleach is amazing. Yeah. Uh, and
don't know if you've, the Ganesh t shirts that I wear. Half of the Ganesh shirts I've made, uh,
were bleached out. I haven't seen the Ganesh ones. I've seen the, um, um, uh,
those who want to see the, uh, what we're talking about, you can, uh, check out, uh,
Jitsy.minix.dev slash HPR and, uh, there is a Jitsy stream running, um,
Morton C was just showing off his shirt, uh, of a, uh, his friend's band. He made this shirt using,
like, a black shirt and bleach. Oh, that's pretty cool. That's amazing. It used bleach for that.
That's silver clips. That was soft scrub actual. It can get, uh, discharge pay,
bleach out shirt, but it's more toxic. And you know, if you're all these steps to do it,
if you're own gelatin cornstarch or potato starch, tapioca starch, some gum, whatever that will
thicken. And the, the, the trick is to take water and thicken and heat it, thickening. And then
when it's thick, pour in the bleach. Okay. Now, uh, a gel to paint with, here's the Ganesh ones.
That was the silver clips logo, uh, the second. Oh, that's cool. I like the logo on the front.
See, uh, the logo on the back or the back. I like the logo on the back. I guess that is a back. Yeah.
It's the nice batch cool. We were, we were trying to make a, uh, like a candy dispenser, uh,
that was, uh, that pattern and let people twist a knob or something and they would flash and make
lights and things would spin and then it's spit out candy pour people. We were going to do it at the
Linux Fest when I was trying to make open shirts for open source projects. I did a couple of shirts
for glad to for a new world order. I did the shirts at one of the selfies. Oh, they're cool. I like
like the shirts you got. That's, that's a very intricate shirt. That's, uh, I think the drummer in the
band did the design. He was the graphics, graphics artist major. It shows. He did a screen. I did the
screen. He did the, he did the drawing computer design. So, how did you make the screen? Well,
there's two ways to do screens. One is with drawing fluid and screen filler, where you draw the
design. Yep. And that will wash out when you spray it at water. Disable. And then you coat the
screen while that's on, uh, with screen filler and screen filler solidifies in the screen. So,
once it's solid, you spray out. So, that's how you hand-make a screen. I did a character
public radio shirts with, uh, uh, I want to say cober to one of the, uh, anarchy. So, I did the
a anarchy with like pink brush painted it on. And then inside the a, I put HPR real tiny,
I have some, those were all bleached out. I didn't do any of the, uh, I made a dozen shirts,
2,000 shirts, uh, handed them out at the Ohio Linux vest. Then the second method is photo
emulsion, um, and you coat the screen with photo emulsion and you let it dry. Can't touch light. So,
either have to use yellow or red lights like an adarcory. Right. Um, any light from it will start
to solidify the photo emulsion. You have to coat it evenly and then store it in a dark place until
it dries half an hour. It depends on the photo emulsion. Um, and then you have to print on transparency,
the stencil. Oh, so for this, uh, what's bleached out is the design. That's what you draw.
And it's on a transparency and you put it on the screen backwards, expose it to light. They have
light boxes that are pressurized and stuff. So, you get it really tight to the, to the screen.
And, uh, uh, uh, then after whatever time period is optimal, the photo emulsion spray out the stencil,
and then print. That's cool. With the squeegee. I am going to go downstairs. My garage is full of stencils.
Here. All right. I had such acting up again. What's up? My headset was acting up again.
All right. I could see that people were talking, but I couldn't hear anything. Uh,
good to say. I said, I do several times. And the response I felt very, very sad.
Uh, my apologies. I wasn't actively ignoring you, but if I thought about it, I probably would have been.
To the Danny has the Jitsi running. Yeah, but I'm working. So, all of you still working?
Yeah. I mean, it's not like there's a lot going on or anything.
You have anything working? Huh? You've been doing it before? Um, I've had some trouble
leveling my bed. I've tried some of the standard fixes. And I think I just need to
grease the rods. So, I 3D, I was able to get it leveled enough to 3D print one of the
rod greasing tools. And then I have the grease that came with the machine. And evidently,
it's something that you're supposed to do like every 3-6 months or something that I think it's been
about like four or five months since the last time I did it. So, I've had to grease my Z-rud.
But that's about it. Yeah, it's the same thing, except there's multiple of them on this.
Yeah, my Z-rud was really bad at one point where, I mean, you can, it would, it would
how. It would start up and go all the way up to the top hit the thing and then come back
back all the way down. And it just, it would have the entire time. I found some grease,
put that on there and it's been great. And then I told you about that two and a half gig
networks, which that my kids got me. Yep. I couldn't find an STL for that particular model. So,
I made my own and I 3D printed that. And it works really good. Absolutely. In the mini racket,
but I have it on the mount for the mini rack. And I'm just waiting to get the other parts because
I only want to take the whole thing apart one time and say that, you know, two times. The look with that.
Yeah, I already had it apart once a couple of weeks ago to rerun some tables and things properly
situated on it. So, see how many times I end up taking it apart. More than see, I can see you, but I can't
hear you. Oh, that's a lot of screens here. Here are big screens from Springfield on the
government option site that my one of my younger brothers put a bid in for me without asking me
and I got an expensive one. Yeah, 70 screens I can't use. Oh, well. And then I have others,
then I have other screens here in these boxes and the garage. They're all old screens that have
designs in them. That's cool. That says that's a broken Mickey Mouse or zombie patch on it. I don't
know if you guys don't pop up. Best thing, Beth, the guitar. I'll take it up. The several I of you
like limited, but I made is icon will show it to my mouse and post a tag to the avatar. Is that the
head in the, that one? Yeah, that's pretty cool. To represent the, yep, in a world order. Is that the same
as the new pizza order? No, it's a clock to, clock to made at night. Has anybody heard from
clock to in the long time? I know he was. Is he supposed to post article? Is he still posting
making articles? That's all I've seen from him is article. It was, it was, was the name of the site.
It was open source, something wasn't it? Did he last time I checked with the source. Yeah,
but last time I saw that wasn't many, uh, articles possible like this year. Well, Joe got us all
started on pizza, and so I had to order one for my wife and I, so. Right. Yep. I am Joe.
You and Joe. All Joe's fault. That's cool. Well, Suzanne really did volunteer with a
local jet's pizza, so he ordered from them. I can pressure it with those. Cool, which makes
love. It's not the best pizza in the world, but it's the best pizza in Morris town. I've yet to find
decent pizza around here. If you had to find a pizza that I wasn't actually willing to eat, so
yeah, that's about me and studs. I've never met a spud I didn't like. Yeah, I blame that Irish
ancestry of mine. It's a potato. I'm probably gonna eat it. I would blame that too if I had any.
All these years, I thought it was Welsh, and it turns out no by them all Franco and Norman.
There's a funny story behind that. Oh, they're probably it.
I also made a Necro sexual. Yeah, I remember your story about that one. He's a screen that had a
heart on it. They said undercover in a Necro. What was it? Necro for the egg? Necro pilia.
Yeah. It's a ringworm screen. We did a bigger one. Oh, yeah.
Did you have the shirt for that day? It's Linux heart and piece. Is that what it takes?
Pixley's all with Linux. Isn't that what you wore to a high Linux face? I know. I wore a store
bot. I love Linux shirt that has commands that sound dirty all the time. Oh, right, right, right, right.
This can nish. That's what I've got on this cannesia. Yeah, I made more of them. I do not know that I'm
wearing your shirt, but I'm wearing rather nice cannesia. Like that one. I do not have
Getsy on the jutsy. Oh, I think it's just a stencil. I have, I have an amazing texture from
two or three shirts from Thailand. Yeah, I had one that was really nice, but it was like rubberized
over it and it was bits and pieces and the longer I wore it and washed it, the more of the pieces
fell off and you can't even tell what it is now. But I have a couple of really nice cannesia shirts.
There you go, build shirt. A second tilt logo. Columnus has had or hackers, arduous and stuff
with it, and they had no yellow one. Columnus, I found her tied with hamburger. Wow.
Welcome to candy cane. All right. Here's that 3D printer. Oh, is that going over front? Yes.
Good idea. I just looped up mine. That's a scoop for the pulled photo emulsion. So as you
put the photo emulsion in here and then put an even layer on the screen, the stencil. When you
ink on, you use a squeegee, put the ink or the blush onto the shirt and cut it shortwards.
And it makes the satisfying noise. There's the, uh, that goes on the four color print station.
They're told the or bag or your printing on. That's right and cool. Yeah. Do you have a website
for your shirts? Uh, I used to have a website for the shirts, uh, but I had a web host that wouldn't let
me upgrade to a new version of PHP. I had to do all this custom codey make my shopping site work
and then they forcibly updated to a higher version and broke my entire website. And I never had
the time to fix it. Oh, wow. I dumped about 10 grand and then haven't shirts. I really don't know.
Oh, boy. Yeah. My, my personal blog. Uh, I can't use because it needs update to a PHP version
that my web host doesn't have or something. I, I don't understand these things. I just know it's
not a current enough version of PHP. And so I can't use my blog. Fun. I absolutely understand that.
What are your feelings on Google? No. Thank you. Okay. No upset. I have not totally de-googleed
myself that I've gotten pretty damn close. I used to have a blogger account or blog spot blogger.
I think it's blogger before now. It's blogs. Actually, they both, they both were bought by Google
and I don't know what I think they're letting both sites be used by those names. Okay. Okay.
That makes sense. So I had a site on there back on the early 2000s, 2000s, 2000s and it posted
updates was on vacation. Didn't have a cell phone and had no way for people to contact me. And
when I went to Thailand for the first time, everybody wanted updates constantly. And I'm like,
I'm not messaging 100 people. I'm not messaging 20, not a normal. I'm not messaging 20 people every
day to tell them what I'm doing. So I went to do a blog and signed up and it told me that the
name was already taken. And I was like, that's my handle. Nobody else should be using it and pulled
up the page and realized that it was mine from the early 2000s. Now, all you have to do is remember
your password from the early 2000s. I know I actually had a link to, I think they had to sign in
with Google back then. Maybe not. No, I would have been. I got in or had the password or whatever.
And with Google, you, it'll automatically link to your photo and video library. So it's easy to
add photos and stuff from your Google account. It made it very easy for me to
blog about my trip trips to Thailand. Yeah, I keep bumping my head on the fact that I have Google
photos turned off on my phone and every time I try and change my wallpaper, I have to go through
several hoops to get it to use the photos I have on the phone or those I have in my
proton drive. Yeah, I've tried to Google and next slide over and over again throughout the years
and fully work. I'm not saying that's not for the fault of my own lack of
Joe knows I don't have very much in the way of skills. Yeah, more than the average Joe's.
Yeah, but you're above average. I don't count. I'm not average. See me?
I used to be really, really good at distro hopping, but so many distros have moved away from
grab that you really can't multi-boot anymore. Unless it's a bunch of your deviant based, I can't
boot it alongside my other distros. Are you using a GPT partition on the day? Now see, you're asking
me a question again. Yeah, I bet if you change it to a GPT partition on the disk, you're installing
the distro. I was able to install I think 30 o s on my think penguin laptop when I got it way back
at one point, I held bunch of distros, but they keep using different boot systems and different
everything. If I load a version of arch on my system, arch has to control grub, or it won't see any
of you others. If you want something else to control grub, arch will not load unless you go into
a special boot process. You have to change grub scan on the other part on the other o s. I ran
into that problem. There is a solution. Run prox mox and have all of them run at the same time.
Well run blend o s and be able to use whatever package manager you want, but what I'm saying is
it used to be something I could just do, and now it's something I have to fight. Even elementary
OS, which is Ubuntu based, has gone to a different boot system, and I think Papa West did too.
Jump on to another call here in a minute. It's on your work-in-self.
Um, I'm hoping to get done about 4x and 4x team, but then I have to go get ready to go to a hockey game.
I'll be back on after the hockey game, but what team? The Allen Americans.
Yeah, I didn't think there was a big team down your way. I guess the stars.
Yeah, the stars. And there's a big team. They're supposed to be moving stadium to think
they're still in negotiations, but it might be Arlington. That's not too bad to drive.
Yes, I live in the DFW. All right, eight minutes, and we get Eastern Europe.
Finland, the Baltic States, Savakia, Bulgaria, Greece, Libya, Egypt, Sudan, South Sudan,
and all of them things down to South Africa. So, how far away are you from the
Dallas stars stadiums? I'm sorry, what? How far are you from the American Airlines Center?
Oh gosh, let me check. It's probably not that far, and some of the games aren't that expensive,
but like the games that I would want to see are always expensive. Like if they play the
penguins, yeah, it's going to be like a $200 ticket game. Oh, and that's a little bit more than
I want to pay. And if I don't take any tolls or heck, if I do, it's only a seven minute difference.
It's about an hour drive right now with traffic the way that it is. That's not bad. Honestly,
it's probably about the same time to Arlington, but I can go around most of the BS in Dallas.
What kind of BS? What kind of BS? I can tell that you've never driven in Dallas.
Dallas is what all highway and everybody's doing about 90. It's all spaghetti and
everybody's doing about 90 and not paying attention to anybody else, not using turn signals and trying
to kill each other. I've literally driven in, you know, third world countries and I've driven
in war zones that I would prefer to drive in over this ship. I just remember visiting there. It was
the last year, year before, and then you'd be where the hotel is, and then try to get on,
get leave the hotel, basically just go straight on to a highway, and you have to gun it from
zero to about 70, just to be able to, so you don't get run over. And then if you're there,
you still have to go up to another spot where you're back in another highway and you have to
gun it from 70 to 90, just so you don't get run the fuck over. Nobody wants to let you merge.
And then you've got to cross four lanes of traffic to exit on the far side. Right. Yeah,
it's it's psychotic. Yeah, we've got a lot of things going on at Knoxville, including the
Ice Bears, which are pretty good minor league on heat team, but I would my aunt isn't,
I just can't go hang out in a crowd. I get that, I get that. A lot of people do show up to the
Alan American games, but you know, I usually either, you can get the tickets for like 13 bucks
a piece or because I'm a veteran and they have a veteran days, I can usually go for free and freeze my
favorite price. Oh yeah, so yeah, the only thing is the concession is very expensive and I have
a passion for nachos. Who doesn't? Right. But I think this time I'm going to eat pizza before I go
skip the nachos and just get a giant chocolate chip cookie in a soda. Hang on. And the sodas are like
13 bucks. Wow, they serve me here. They do, but I don't drink that much. Well, that's the
honestly, honestly, I want you to think back over the last however long you've known me,
and 98% of the drinking I have done, I have done on camera with you there.
Are you saying that I'm a bad influence? Is that what you're trying to say? I don't drink very much.
I'm not kidding. Now, let, let be fair, when back when you were trying to get elected and stuff,
you were hanging out with other people and doing some drinking a lot more than you've done with me.
Yeah, a little, a little social there, but I was a little, I was not drinking very much at all because
I was eating a crap time because everybody wanted to feed me, but because I was running for school
board, it would have been inappropriate for me to get drunk anywhere. You might have won.
I got pretty dang close considering that the incumbent I was running against had been there for like
10 years. And you say 30% of the vote, I'm not complaining, but I probably would have hated it if I had one.
I just remember there was one podcast where you showed up where you were hanging out with somebody who
you were supporting or something. And they were just came on after having several
two balls. Yeah, no. I remember that I remember that I did that I had the screw balls at home,
though, and, and someone had come over that was supporting me and they had brought their husband
with them and their husband was an X-Marine and I had to represent. I had to represent,
so we busted out the whiskey and it just happened to be screw ball and yeah, I got, I probably
bit off more than I could chew. I should know better than to go up against the devil dogs.
That screw ball is so delicious. Oh, it is. It is. It will get me in trouble every time.
I learned recently that fireball isn't even whiskey. Oh, no. It's actually schnapps.
Really? That makes such. And they had to change the name because the stuff wasn't selling.
They did. It was Dr. McGillick had he something something schnapps and they couldn't sell it, so they
changed the name and started getting people to go to bars ordering large amounts of fireball
for the room and that's how it caught on. Okay, one minute before Eastern Europe, they do actually
add some whiskey in for flavoring. It's labeled as a whiskey. It would be cinnamon whiskey.
Cinnamon whiskey is not whiskey. That's how they got away with it.
And in fact, they have fireball cinnamon for sale and a lot of convenience stores that isn't even
schnapps. Okay, happy New Year, Eastern Europe and South Africa and Egypt at all them.
Yeah, they have actually it's a grain beverage, the fireball cinnamon that they sell in the
convenience stores. Out of the phone call. Up next is Scandinavia, Western Europe except UK and
most of Western Africa. I am going to go downstairs and wait for the pizza because they were supposed to
be sending me texts saying where they were and they're not.
Okay, he still wants, looks like he still wants to have the call. Give me a second and see.
Yeah, I'm going to join this meeting. All right, guys. I'll try and jump back on before I have to leave.
So this, so my wife has gotten into the cricket. I got talked about it before. So this is
actually a sweatshirt that she did. I was talking on the previous show about trying to use
ink scape to take it PNG and then separated it into the different parts. This is actually the one
that I did. It is from Super Mario. It's a boo hiding. It would hide their face when you look at
them and then when they turn around, they come at you. So I actually did this one and then my wife
won a buying a pack of ones and then she did this. Now it's a lot and it's a lot to see because
it's like a three X sweatshirt and she won up using the entire space for the three X sweatshirt
and to put like what there's about five boo's on the back there but it came out really nice.
I like that. I wore it all the time we were down in Universal because it was Universal.
During the time I were down in Florida, it was a mixture of cold in the shade and warm in the sun.
So like there was no like real good happy medium. The entire time we were down there.
But she had been because these were all HTV with the crickets in the crickets.
I'm probably waiting almost another half hour for that pizza. It said 55 minutes and it may
been 30. You know at least you got a Jackie delivery person.
Oh, what? A Jackie delivery person. His wife. Oh, that's a cool. I had. So
Princey's holding a picture of it's me old HPR stickers. I had that. I had that bottom one.
The circle that just said HPR. Like I had it on one of my old laptops that I got
rev. I got that one at the Northeast the next fest. I had that one and I had the microphone one.
And there was one. It was a weird one with like somebody kind of bent over a computer
which I saw that old laptop just for the stickers. I finally got the Southeast Linux Fest this last
June but I don't know if I wasn't feeling very well. So I didn't really get bat much out of it
but it was fun seeing some people. Maybe I'll be better this year and maybe I won't go. I don't know.
Southeast Linux Fest Charlotte North Carolina. I have only been able to make it to
two of the Northeast Linux Fest when they were doing them. Now, so you still performing music?
Maybe it's Peter arrived. No, just restart the recording. Okay. You have to assign the push to talk
button. The easiest way to do go through it is to go to configure and go through the setup wizard
and you can choose the push to talk button that goes through the the setup wizard. All you
wizard.
Coming HPR. This is one of spoons. Over. How are we doing?
Coming HPR. This is one of spoons. Hello Spoon. Hello Spoon. I don't think Spoon can hear us.
Does anybody in here? Hello. Hello. Hello. Hello.
I was looking at my bank mini and it's a lot easier program than the original 5R. I might have
to do a little piece on it once I dig into a little more. What did you see? It was a mech mini.
About five R mini. Okay. I was talking earlier and Bell might be interested that there was
a camp from Canada and I got his pulse sign. I hope I got it right so I contact the monitor.
There's somebody in here on the chat. Is that one of spoons? He's going in Spice Spoon.
He's announced a sub-table time. Don't think you can hear us.
I think he was on last year and he might have done one this one through the year.
Coming HPR. This is one of Spoon's AFA.
One of Spoons. You're received. I'm receiving it. Yeah. I don't think you can hear us.
I heard you're talking about Serenity earlier and Firefly actually on both. I'd rather not have
just digital copy. Awesome. Yeah. I don't want a lot of DVDs still. Then I want to
prep me and I'm going to enjoy it. But what I need is that remember the guy that came on a couple
times in the long past talking about how he had a script to Rick DVDs. He was able to rip a bunch of
episodes from shows and stuff like that. I have a bunch of DVDs of shows.
I need to figure out a way to start ripping those like crazy. I did a show about, but I don't
know if it'll be helpful because it's not a mass ripping away way to do it. I don't like.
I get the giant box set of signed films, which is all the episodes have all the episodes of
like murder notice, probes, one just since episode was like the first 15 series in the
Inc. 24, the first four seasons. They've been Gillian, road tech, fire scape. I wanted to get
into fire scape and I just never tried to sit down and watch more of them. It's a lot of fun.
It's one of my favorites. I like it. It looked fun to me. Yep. And they did the after
they got canceled. They did a movie. They just kind of decided to stop it. They did a movie to
kind of sum up what they were going to do in like last few seasons. A new CEO came in. The
sci-fi can you head for a scape and love stargate or for so much fan in sci-fi. I've been
corporate from shopping at Tethernet where I finally gave in to fan pressure and let them make a
two episode, a two-part wrap up, but it was supposed to be several more. Okay, if you use
make mkv as it makes things pretty easy and it does blue rays really well. I have but not
not with a lot of success. For most of us, I usually use, oh, what is the gooey version?
What do you mean? Handbreak. I use handbreak a lot. I have and make mkv, but I really haven't used it so much.
Got it fried again. I use a little both handbreak the raw copy and then I mean make mkv to make the
get the raw copy and then handbreak to put a whole bunch in a queue just in the gooey and there's
a slight rip, let it encode it into 1080p is probably good enough. I'm going to sit and listen
for a little bit after so I can get some dinner. Yeah, that's what I got to go.
Oh, make nice and the microwave looms up there. I'm not sure what she's going to do. She's probably
starting up the walker. I should probably start the tacos. Can you still see me honky?
Uh, you just froze for a second, no? So, oh no. Well, we finally got our pizza. What type?
We got a 50-50 from Jets. Mine is black olives sausage and mushroom and my wife's black
olive chicken it should have been barbecue but wasn't and red onion and it she's bred three
cheese but still it took an hour and a quarter. It was that there on delivery or was that through
uh somebody else's shrimp above? That was their own delivery. It is New York City.
Yeah, that is true too. It is but they did promise us 50 minutes. That's also true. Don't
make the promise if you're not going to at least give people a heads up. Hey, you know, it is New
York City. You do this and they take a while and they gave us no updates and would not answer
their phone when they tried to call for updates. Yeah, that's kind of great. But it's good pizza.
No, it's good. And that's all Joe's fault. All right. So the same time I'm going to over here playing
with YouTube DL2. I do DL2. I don't know my kids go on YouTube. So there is something you
use YouTube DL that throw up on Jonathan. I downloaded it. There's a person who has walked
through the games called the gameer and my suddenly I like to and I'll do downloads of
the game. It came walk through and it was one where I got like most of it and I'm really
10 episodes off it. But I don't load it again and when I read download it on again, it went from
being a 250 meg file to a 1.5 gigabyte file. So I do remember the music to deal with through
the pitch which version I want to build. You're pretty choppy. Honking the go on my end.
We're hearing all of that. We're being figured out, but it's pretty choppy. Is it weird?
It's weird. Yeah, I thought it was a problem on my end. You're very choppy.
All right. You know what? I have to add a fix the...
Come in, H. P. R. This is one of spines. I can't hate now. You sure?
Yeah. Hello. Hello. Hello. Do you read me spoon? I read you. I hate you. I didn't read.
He said that. Archer. I see you now, Archer. I came back for a minute, but I was getting dinner.
All right. Let's see if I can make this a little better. Don't even know. Not yet.
All right. I was in the room. Yeah. Let's put that back in there. Yeah. Let's move you down.
I'm put that as a cutter. No. Oh, you know what helps? If I hit the block, the I plan button. Hold on.
Get a fly. Is that any better? Keep talking. Okay. Let's see. Is this a little less choppy?
Or is it still all over the place? It's still pretty choppy, but it might be better.
Slawling frame. That's easy. Is that easy? No. No. No. Let's see. You down.
You down. Bye. And let's see if that's any better. Just hit everything now. So let's choppy.
It may be ready to shut down from the start. It might be. Right. It has a still choppy. All right. Let's do that.
And it's happy new year to Western Europe and Western Africa with the exception of UK. Happy 2026.
And happy new year, everybody. Happy new year. 2026. It's awesome. Glad to hear it, Ken.
Hello. Nice to hear you. Hello. Is that G.I. Spock?
G.S. Spock is lurking. All right. Is this any better? Talk a little more.
Talk a little more. Okay. Uh, picture, picture. It's just crackling. So we're crackling.
You're crackling. It's better, but it's not good yet.
Dang it. Next hour. We welcome UK Iceland, Ireland, Portugal, and the rest of Western Africa.
And a little bit of greenland. All right. But how is this any better? I thought the last one was better than this one.
All right. It is my audience. It's still so garbage. That is worse.
Oh, boy. Awesome. Did you turn it turning it off and back on again?
You know, I'd rewatch that show. IT ground. The real, the real, that they had in the phone.
Yes. I've gotten into wiping a lot of the, well, basically any of the, uh,
Sheminkar hosted shows from BBC. So the 8 out of 10 cats and 10 cats does count down.
Um, uh, in fact, we show over here that might be hit. But he did a show on Netflix too, and that just really
isn't good. And I think that was partially because of, uh, I think he usually was very good on it.
Did you ever see the poor excuse for an American remake of IT crowd? He, yes. It had the most character,
but they replaced everyone else. And the, uh, other IT guy was played by some guy that could have
easily played a joke. And that just was wrong.
We're sure I want to be, I, I've completely fucked up his name, but it's, it's such a great character
all to himself. The great thing is show, um, he had one where he tried a bunch of gear and he had another
one where he, uh, a gear diorama, I think it was called, and then dumb on where he did
into trouble. Yeah, I haven't seen anything else with him in it, other than the American remake.
Well, I'm going to go digest some food. I don't can't do that very well with headphones on.
No, I serring your mocks. Nice hearing you spoon. Nice sometimes hearing you, honky.
Oh, thank you. It was good talking to you. Oh, that sounded good. What happened?
I don't know. Is, is breaking up a little bit, but I don't know how it's cobbled in. What the heck?
All right, you need to grant. Do you need to ground something? I wanted to interject before
you go. There's a German version of the IT crowd, also. Is there really? Oh, out. Well, the, the
American one is so awful. I don't think it got past pilot stage.
Yeah, honky, you do sound like when sometimes you're making a mobile telephone call,
and it just sounds like the aliens interjected. Awesome. That's, that's just fantastic.
So maybe it's a signal in between somewhere, you know, in the middle of things.
All right, so is there still some of them? I can hear you. It was a short sample.
I had website out to deny her both myself on the stream and
talking back. If you want, it's still something urgent. You are all too bold,
but there's some slight breakup completely different amount of time. So it's coming ahead,
set for some reason. This is the same one I've been using for quite some time. So that's disappointing.
Is it, is it, is it charged? Yeah, I mean, before I was even, I wouldn't have
plugged in more talking. Did you try to turn it on and off again?
Oh, for a friend. Yeah.
Oh, I mean, I've definitely been on for a while. You know, maybe I'll stick away for a little bit
and see where that went in and try to really then prep. We can hear words. Maybe if I don't know
if you experiment with holding a steady volume. Well, my voice will be as steady volume.
Let's just talk at one monitor voice for as loud as all as it possibly can. I'm even sure if I did
properly. That might help because I'm breaking up. I think if you lengthened the words,
then yes, we were to hear each word. So when did talk very similarly, had linked
everything. Okay, I just had a tie. I'm not excited. We would go. I said, signal, signal.
How is your router? Black with these big things half the problem?
Yes, but I've been having problems with my router and the power cycle is fine.
I haven't, I don't know, this is the first time I've had these sort of an issue. So I don't know.
I don't normally sound like this today. Okay. Oh, no, no, no, no, no. Oh, good.
I actually feel perished by there were people who not just Morton, so you said that.
Oh, that sounded terrible. Okay.
There was noise coming through when you stopped talking. Oh, awesome.
Maybe I should just shut it down for a while and see if I can come back later.
You're magnets are getting hot, something.
All right, I'm supposed to be in interference. You know, let's come to you.
Good evening. Good evening.
Morton, see, how are you? Did we meet in person, Dale? We met on the guest twice as, oh, not itself.
No, no, it's been a few years. How are you doing? All right, this finishing dinner.
There, how are you doing?
First part was showing his array of non-malca hallock beverages in Tekken Coffee. What are we drinking?
I am drinking Red Bull, a severed line.
Heart of liquid does. Does it have a taste to it? Yes, there is a flat mineral water that's
unflavored in a sparkly mineral water that's unflavored than there's a whole line of flat mineral
water teas that are flavored dead billionaire, which used to be called armless polymer,
one of my favorites of the, but they're all death-inspired names. The whole story behind the
company pretty many. It took four people that I appreciate their opinions to tell me to try it before
I actually tried it. I think the two most recent ones they came out with was mineral water versions
of cola, Dr. Pepper. They remind me of the New York Seltzer water. They had a sparkling
was called a clear caramel added. They're okay. It might be lightly caffeine in the last month,
but they probably have for 20 flavor mineral water. Have you tried the other death-related
beverage called death-wish coffee? I don't know if it was a spoof or if they actually did this,
but when the Spinal Tap movie came out, it had a limited edition sign box of liquid death
that only went to 11 instead of 12 kibit in the box, or 12 kibit were supposed to be signed by the
baby. Looks like geospark has a couple of variations of sparkling cider and in some panta.
He's posting inside the car myself, you know, because that's the best. An orange flavor just
is the best, too. You know, actually, have you had meso mix? I have not. So meso mix is
phanta mixed in with coke. It's sold in Germany as meso mix, but it's really good. I mean,
I guess you could suicide them and just mix them together yourself. I had heard of liquid death
I've seen it in the grocery store, but I've never known anyone that has tried it.
There are some of the flavors I've not like. There's a fruity pebbles. It's some play on serial
killer names. That's the frame that I didn't like, although I didn't like it. Pretty pebbles.
But most of the flavors I like love is separate. It does seem like they change the recipe
slightly earlier, which I don't like. Is it caffeinated? I know, but they just came out with
like three flavors that are our cap, or any. I'm putting links in the show note, the flavored
piece, energy, the caffeinated ones. I think they're caffeinated, like soda. They have four flavors,
murder mystery, orange or tropical terror, and scary strawberry. But I haven't been able to
find that stores that try that single-angle beverage 12. Are any of them carbonated?
Yes. All the flavored ones are carbonated. The iced teas are flat.
I'll have to try one of those next time I'm home because I asked one of the cashiers.
If she had heard of it, this was a few months ago. I can't remember how long I'm going to go. I had
seen it, but I asked her if she had tried it, and she said, well, we just started stalking it,
and she hadn't heard of anybody trying it. So that's interesting. I have to keep that in mind,
because I used to buy these carbonated waters from all the, they had different flavors,
but I haven't buttoned any of them in several years of mineral waters. They were carbonated.
I'm not sure if they were mineral waters, but they were probably the best flavored water
that I had had to vet to that date. It was actually, as if you're drinking something that
wasn't water. It was so good. Yeah, and some of the stuff I've read has said that just
treated water, and like purified or stilled water, it doesn't hydrate your body. The minerals
that salts in the forest could be inage of all of it. But you know, what they say all the time,
I just feel better drinking liquid than bottled water. That's interesting. And better drinking
bottled water than soda. I have a water filter on my tap at home, my kitchen, because I don't
like the municipal water, because it reminds me of the ingesting a lot of water loss moving at the
natatorium growing up. So I don't like to be chlorinated water that they have. Where I'm at,
you can smell the chlorine in the water, come around the faucet. It's not more often than not.
It's not as bad as it was growing up, because I grew up, or I'm living now, is probably 10 miles
away from where I physically grew up. But I'm thinking this is municipal water,
I'm pretty sure that the apartment complex does not have a well. But it's not as bad as I remember,
because I remember going to my grandmothers. This was throughout the late 70s, 80s, into the 90s.
And I can remember never wanting to drink water. I always had to have 10 or collied. I could never,
my mother tried to get me to drink water from lemon, which was all right. But it was more of the effort
of having to squeeze the lemon and making sure that the pits don't fall into the glass,
everything. But yeah, it was much worse as I remember. And now, when I open my tap before I
turn on the divider for my water filter, because I have a water filter that screws onto the air
reader. There's a little knob you pull out, and it diverts the water through the filter,
and the filter has its own little spit. But I can't really smell the water, but you can definitely
taste it. Two things. They make tang a variety of different flavors. No that.
Well, I haven't had tang. I'm going to be 52 this spring, and it's probably been 40 years since
I've had time. I think I had, I think my friend, my mother, offered me collied. I think maybe
like 10 years ago, and it was like the first time I had had collied, and probably 20 years,
you from that date. I'm trying to find a list of flavors. We have an international grocery store
there. It's in the South American section. It's half. Two dozen flavors of tang, including Guarana.
A side note of a few people on here, probably no. I make homemade, vitamin-enriched,
caffeinated gummies, and a lot of times they'll add a packet to the gelo, but enhance the
verb makes it tart and tangy. And then the other thing is there is a product called true citrus,
and it's a little flavor packet. It's shaped more like a wet wipe, a crystal-light packet,
and you can find them in the grocery stores in the same section. Some of them have
their fake sugar in them. There's three that I get. It's the lemon, the lime, and the grapefruit.
And like a crystal-light, it's equivalent to a crystallized wedge of lemon lime. Grapefruit
in your drink. So it's a powder. So a freeze-dried crystallized form of lemon. It's just like
its fresh lemon in your water.
