This is Hacker Public Radio Episode 3834 for Thursday the 13th of April 2023.
|
|
Today's show is entitled, 2022-2023 New Years Show Episode 5.
|
|
It is part of the series HP Our New Year Show.
|
|
It is hosted by HP Our Volunteers and is about 120 minutes long.
|
|
It carries an explicit flag.
|
|
The summary is 2022-2023 New Years Show where people come together and chat.
|
|
Oh, and because Danny whined and cried so prettily the other day, I downloaded that curvy
|
|
and I'm going to be printing it out and turning it into a fan.
|
|
I already got the 40mm fan for it.
|
|
What's the curvy?
|
|
Oh, a few McStractor.
|
|
Oh, really?
|
|
That's the one that Hunky posted.
|
|
Yeah, but it was you that cried so prettily about it.
|
|
What did I say? I don't remember talking about it.
|
|
If you can't put it in your ears, Joe's not going to be.
|
|
Yeah, that's right.
|
|
So you are a trick.
|
|
I said it.
|
|
I'm interested in annoying you because he's also got another one that's not curvy
|
|
that I think would be much more useful because you can like mount it
|
|
under the different arms that I have, floating around and then just put it
|
|
move it into the correct position to extract your fumes.
|
|
For context, if you don't listen to the lug cast,
|
|
everything Joe does is related to headphones.
|
|
That's his fetish.
|
|
A lot.
|
|
The people are so on TLS, they're not mistaken.
|
|
It's right, yeah.
|
|
So that's where.
|
|
Yeah, yeah, that's true too.
|
|
Because I didn't sell any short.
|
|
Rebuild a PSP.
|
|
Did I discuss that?
|
|
I think I discussed that.
|
|
How's everybody doing?
|
|
Oh, good, yourself.
|
|
Doing all right.
|
|
Just here chilling, waiting for the new year to roll around.
|
|
Here with my girl and the godmother.
|
|
So we're going to be leaving to a party soon,
|
|
but we're just kind of chilling.
|
|
Wanted to jump in and wish y'all a happy new year.
|
|
We're going to chat for a little bit.
|
|
Happy new year.
|
|
Happy new year.
|
|
Good to ruch in nois y'ach.
|
|
That was really bad.
|
|
I apologize.
|
|
That was horrible.
|
|
And I mean, my dream is horrible.
|
|
That was horrible.
|
|
Good to know.
|
|
It's definitely better than mine.
|
|
I keep getting confused where the S goes.
|
|
It's ins noia y'ach, not in nois y'ach.
|
|
I don't understand German.
|
|
A girlfriend lived there for 13 years,
|
|
so she speaks it quite fluently.
|
|
She's Cuban.
|
|
So maybe she'll teach me.
|
|
I live there currently and know nothing about the language.
|
|
Hell.
|
|
Well, that's difficult.
|
|
Heck no.
|
|
Everybody speaks English.
|
|
Yeah, in Berlin, nobody cares.
|
|
A friend of mine had a neighbor from Frankfurt,
|
|
and his neighbor had the bright idea of teaching him
|
|
Frankfurt or dialect.
|
|
Then he goes to college and where we have,
|
|
we're speaking a proper German,
|
|
a high German, or whatever you want to call it.
|
|
And the professor says,
|
|
I don't know what that is, but I think German.
|
|
So, let's see.
|
|
Do you have to make links?
|
|
I mean, so I drive for you FM.
|
|
Do ricks good?
|
|
Do you have to?
|
|
Do you have to be ready?
|
|
Firefly.
|
|
Now, what's this?
|
|
It's all Ramstein songs from one of the original albums.
|
|
That's how you can learn German.
|
|
Just doesn't sound Ramstein.
|
|
Really good metal band.
|
|
The spice of the fact that it's completely wrong.
|
|
Well, what is wrong?
|
|
The song, from what I understand the sentence structure,
|
|
is completely wrong.
|
|
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
|
|
I gave a few song names in one that.
|
|
But um, there's a good album and stuff.
|
|
But it's all good.
|
|
It's good, it's got quite a bit of info,
|
|
that's 20 years or so.
|
|
Now, you see what you want to listen to,
|
|
is Franzer Lang and his Bavarian rhodol. Oh you thought it was something else. Anton
|
|
Alstrial, that's what they were playing in Austria all those years ago when we're
|
|
skiing and that's quite funny in the YouTube video as well. That's good.
|
|
D.D. Otsy, your robot, very funny. No, no D.J. Otsy.
|
|
Are you fathom? George, no.
|
|
Right, okay. I knew D.J. Otsy from when I was a kid and I didn't know it was him,
|
|
but he did that very famous cover of, hey, hey, baby.
|
|
Yeah, yeah, that was the song you thought that song was well, yeah.
|
|
No, George, Gio Spine, who affected me with a terrible song of his called a Manfit Amorco.
|
|
No, George, don't laugh about it. You don't get to laugh about that.
|
|
No. Was it a scorpion thumb?
|
|
And a scorpion thumb? No, a scorpion thumb?
|
|
A bodylike tree and hips like a dream. No, no.
|
|
Look, just listen to Broder Dan, he'll be okay.
|
|
Do you not listen to anything this man recommends?
|
|
ohmmmm....
|
|
ANDlands sabes us sing some llamas
|
|
Oh they loved it when we went skiing
|
|
that electoral no ski stokes
|
|
they're really dead
|
|
as they are famous is the most famous song From Astra it seems
|
|
The German sounds the most manly then same english
|
|
english is a bit of a weak language really
|
|
as it's French
|
|
this Swedish as well
|
|
out of the Swedish as well. Speaking of French, I'm trying to match you in here as far off
|
|
in the back. German is like, yeah, it's quite powerful sound when you come back.
|
|
Just installed his, I don't know, 20th distro in the last week.
|
|
It's just installing distros every time you come back. I'm like, Mosh. Mosh is one of
|
|
our regulars in tech and tech. Is he? Oh, he's in there all the time.
|
|
We have two rooms. He's always in there. Sounds like somebody needs to be on a quality
|
|
short team for a distro or something. You can install your iPhone million times.
|
|
And the package as well. If someone was willing to pay Mosh to do it, I'm sure he would.
|
|
And the room got silent. Hey, I'm thinking about that awful song actually now.
|
|
Hey, baby, that green image from the deal. Okay. Go to the YouTube, so to speak.
|
|
And DJ would see burger there.
|
|
And they jump out of the window seconds after you're listening.
|
|
George stop trying to scare our new friends. I know. Don't scare the, don't scare the
|
|
norms. Don't scare the streets.
|
|
Okay, do you want to see? Yeah. Don't.
|
|
I wouldn't play air because it's copy via Joe. You would not come on.
|
|
That's all fair use. Not like we're making money off this.
|
|
You mean we're not? We're not paying you to be here. Or we are. It's all hockey
|
|
pain. Yeah, who do I send my bill to at the end of this?
|
|
Ken Fallon. Can.
|
|
Got it. Make sure you send it my belt.
|
|
Can we follow each other and something? Are we for other than me listening?
|
|
For me? I'm on a couple other shows and my voice is extremely generic.
|
|
Yeah. So is mine. I'm on.
|
|
What?
|
|
Although that mostly got taken over by Joel, although Rich has been showing up the last couple of
|
|
shows.
|
|
Said he follows favorite it.
|
|
Kentucky fried chicken pizza, yeah? I just played with it as well.
|
|
Yeah, I was a really famous one in botlands. If anyone knows botlands, that would be
|
|
famous. That's just.
|
|
Honestly, do they obviously want awesome guy? Yeah?
|
|
No. Absolutely amazing. Yeah.
|
|
No.
|
|
That may I reject you when you hear even more so now that I know about all this.
|
|
George, we're going to forgive you for passing this on again.
|
|
I'm sorry. This is George's equivalent of syphilis.
|
|
I've infected everyone.
|
|
Should listen to death.
|
|
Oh, yeah, I like death. Death is great. If you mean the metal band, yeah?
|
|
No, I know the 1970s proto-punk band.
|
|
Although the death, you know, the metal band is good too.
|
|
I was specifically talking about the proto-punk band.
|
|
I think they still play South by Southwest.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
All right. So I'm going to guess and see if there's some distra hoppers in the room.
|
|
What? No, that's all distraction. No one does that anymore.
|
|
I'm going, what are you?
|
|
Well, so I got an issue.
|
|
I got an old computer that I want to cut that it used to belong to my wife's aunt.
|
|
And she recently passed away.
|
|
And what we want to keep the windows, the windows operating system on there for the time being in case.
|
|
Something comes up that there might be some information on there that we need to get full of legal reasons or whatever.
|
|
But I wanted to just basically do a dual boot for now.
|
|
Yeah, I just pull the hard drive.
|
|
It's the easiest way to go.
|
|
I'm not sure what I have laying around for another hard drive to throw in there.
|
|
I read about some of these things.
|
|
It's just like school, low power, then it's history, can't remember its name.
|
|
But there's a few of those out there, I guess.
|
|
Well, no, the problem is it runs, it'll run anything.
|
|
But the problem is I wanted to try to dual boot it.
|
|
And with windows 10, it has like the entire drive is taken up by a partition called Bitlocker.
|
|
And then like a very small anti-FS partition.
|
|
And then like two other partitions with it.
|
|
But I can't readjust the size of the Bitlocker partition, which is taking up 90% of the hard drive.
|
|
Your best bet then is not to put a hard drive through what suggests pull the hard drive.
|
|
You could probably buy like $120,000.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I just pulled the drives and bought an SSD.
|
|
It doesn't have to be anything fantastic.
|
|
And it's, you know, it's made an improvement.
|
|
I have an old Dell E6410 running slackware that I went ahead and I pulled the drive from.
|
|
And I just dropped slackware in there with one of those cheap SSDs.
|
|
Have Danny send you a hard drive.
|
|
I'm sure I can find a hard drive.
|
|
I was hoping to do a quick dual boot of it.
|
|
I'm really missing.
|
|
Well, there's no space.
|
|
I mean, the only thing you, I mean, if there's a little bit of space, maybe puppy or something tiny, a smile.
|
|
Why not?
|
|
I mean, if you're just running the, yeah, it's going to say why don't you just put a USB stick in it.
|
|
It's running a live disk.
|
|
I could.
|
|
These are for, you know,
|
|
tails or something and just have a release of secure private.
|
|
I even did devian on a USB stick or four.
|
|
That's actually how a USB stick can become a mad hacker.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
That you're right.
|
|
It's probably the best way to go pull the hard drive.
|
|
And it's just to then put it back if we needed something off of that.
|
|
It would be a massive pain in the ass to then pull the hard drive.
|
|
Especially if I get the computer set up and then try not.
|
|
I need to get that back at the hard drive.
|
|
Well, try to get the hard drive from something else.
|
|
Well, it's better that than having one of the horror stories that I've read about trying to do a boot with Windows 10.
|
|
Oh, yeah.
|
|
I have to open with Windows 10.
|
|
Did you install Windows 10 yourself or?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
It's easier.
|
|
Probably.
|
|
No.
|
|
The key word here is you have to think forensically.
|
|
Explain.
|
|
You don't want anything touching that drive, especially since it's encrypted.
|
|
Do you have the key to the, to the bit locker?
|
|
Whatever the login would probably unlock the bit locker.
|
|
The wife has that.
|
|
You can tell it to remove the bit locker and then free up that space.
|
|
That might be a way to go.
|
|
Yeah, I was going to say because if as long as the drive is in the computer and you have the login,
|
|
TPM should take care of decrypting bit locker.
|
|
You can then either remove bit locker entirely or remove it temporarily, resize the drive and then reencrypt it.
|
|
If you do that, then you'll have the backup key for the bit locker in case you want to remove the drive and then mount it externally,
|
|
somewhere else and you can unlock it.
|
|
When I know this type of encryption windows, I'm not sure.
|
|
I think if you remove that drive and put another machine, it's looking at hardware serial numbers too.
|
|
So it may not, you may not be able to get back into that now.
|
|
Well, you're talking about.
|
|
We're moving that drive, setting it off to the side.
|
|
And then if he needs any information from it, reinstalling it on that same computer.
|
|
Yeah, trust me.
|
|
Well, I think that shouldn't be a problem.
|
|
If you did that, as long as you don't, to be honest, yeah, the TPM is what's actually unlocking the driver boot.
|
|
So as long as that's not tampered with in any way, it should be fine.
|
|
But I should be able to go in and log in and turn the locker off and then be able to resize and then just leave bit locker off.
|
|
Hopefully, just leaving bit locker off.
|
|
It just seems like it's going to make everything so much easier.
|
|
It means that also if I needed to, I can pull that drive out and get the information off of it without.
|
|
If since bit locker is not there, I should be able to get dry information off of it.
|
|
It's just going to take a long time.
|
|
What's it to get it off?
|
|
I don't worry about that.
|
|
I can set that and then just walk away for a while.
|
|
The last time I use bit locker, it didn't take that long to decrypt it.
|
|
OK.
|
|
But your mileage may vary.
|
|
As I say, depends how much is on the drive currently.
|
|
How big the drive is, what's space speed the drive is.
|
|
There's like SSD or HDD.
|
|
But yeah, you can just leave it running to tell windows, decrypt my drive and turn bit locker off.
|
|
Awesome. I think that'll do it.
|
|
Thank you. That's one project.
|
|
That's when I was trying to decatine on to the ROX 64.
|
|
You were a Docker container.
|
|
It couldn't be too difficult.
|
|
Not sure.
|
|
I mean, it's going to be running headless.
|
|
Well, I can probably attach.
|
|
I could attach something to it, but it doesn't have a desktop to it.
|
|
What I have is a 2.5.
|
|
Well, 2.5 hard drive bay.
|
|
It's up for bay.
|
|
Like I thought plugged into it right now and it's, I got like three drives in there and it's able to see those drives.
|
|
So I'm hoping to set it up as kind of a backup for certain things.
|
|
Like anything I would pull from nicotine would go to that.
|
|
And then it would do like an R sync to let's say music.
|
|
Let's say I put use nicotine to get some music.
|
|
It would then do an R sync with my funk will folder.
|
|
All right.
|
|
I think I'm going to step away for a little while and close my eyes.
|
|
I should probably check that the family and see what's going on.
|
|
I'll start dinner soon.
|
|
Yeah, I'm going to step away as well.
|
|
I got to start getting ready.
|
|
You all have a good happy new year.
|
|
See you next year.
|
|
You too.
|
|
Happy new year.
|
|
Hi, Vaxen.
|
|
I don't know about how soon as soon, but I'll be back later.
|
|
Well, Sebastian, are you here or are you just recording?
|
|
I'm here, Rudy.
|
|
I'm walking through somebody, somebody through the install of mumble.
|
|
Minute.
|
|
Or you mute it.
|
|
I have a watch on.
|
|
I might hear that in the background, actually.
|
|
I don't know.
|
|
Yeah, flat.
|
|
I have now and a half until.
|
|
Oh, just, I do well just over action.
|
|
Yeah, yeah.
|
|
I think insane.
|
|
It was like everyone was disappearing.
|
|
And then no, I guess that wasn't quite the case.
|
|
That D.L.O.C. thing was funny.
|
|
I didn't know if you could hear that.
|
|
No, I'd stepped away for a moment.
|
|
I had to look at my new SSD to see if it had a screw and it doesn't.
|
|
No, it's not talking about German songs.
|
|
I mean, it turns out what he's called.
|
|
Sparift in line.
|
|
The song was like, oh, right.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
No.
|
|
I live in Germany.
|
|
I have to put up a schlager all the time.
|
|
D.L.C. is not just schlager.
|
|
He is in the front to humanity.
|
|
You're from England originally, aren't you there, yeah?
|
|
What gave it away?
|
|
Your accent, is it?
|
|
Yes, I'm from Bristol.
|
|
Are you?
|
|
I'm from Bristol.
|
|
That's interesting in there.
|
|
Oh, by Bristol.
|
|
Yeah, it's not true.
|
|
Born in Bristol, raised in South Costa sure in a very small village
|
|
on the outskirts near Badminton.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I'm sorry.
|
|
I mean, I mean, I'm living in South Costa really just here.
|
|
But my boundary with Bristol are just there and there.
|
|
You can get one then.
|
|
Yep.
|
|
That's interesting.
|
|
Well, you're better than I was.
|
|
I think I read some comments before on the internet actually
|
|
about the New York City and somewhere and people were saying how
|
|
I came, my German friend, got me listening to this for a laugh
|
|
and it's absolutely hell.
|
|
It's a really nice man from what I've seen and heard of him.
|
|
He seems like a really, really nice man, but he is a great example
|
|
of just why German schlager should not exist.
|
|
And that extends into Austrian music as well.
|
|
It's God awful.
|
|
It's so bad.
|
|
It's funny, though, in a way as well.
|
|
No.
|
|
I've been listening in Stamming in Austria a year ago and they would,
|
|
you know, and they would get you stop at these ski spots.
|
|
And it was a daily option now.
|
|
So everywhere in the Austrians were just loving it.
|
|
You know, it was like, whoa.
|
|
You might not remember, but the British used to be novelty songs like
|
|
nobody else.
|
|
They had the absolute horror shows that were things like the earning
|
|
of drives the fastest milk car in the west.
|
|
Things like, you know, Joe Dolce and a shut up year face.
|
|
And these things have haunted me since I was a child
|
|
because they're musically just devoid of any value
|
|
and they're fundamentally not clever enough to be funny.
|
|
And DJ Let's see is a continuation of this trend
|
|
and it still haunts me.
|
|
In German, in a dialect of German that I barely understand.
|
|
Oh, yeah.
|
|
So some weird distrust down there.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I don't speak Austrian German.
|
|
I hear people speaking it and it's like, I barely speak, you know,
|
|
you know, hotdurch, the sort of like textbook German.
|
|
I barely speak that.
|
|
What's next?
|
|
What we said to put the song on for last though?
|
|
No.
|
|
You know, if someone said something to you,
|
|
he was saying the bag.
|
|
But that was George.
|
|
Oh, George, right.
|
|
George just does things to punish me.
|
|
I do.
|
|
3, 11 years old.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Truth.
|
|
I don't know.
|
|
Well, I've called your pop, isn't it?
|
|
So I've got this like unique special kind of like Austrian
|
|
German wherever it is, yeah.
|
|
It's like as a schlager.
|
|
And schlager is just an abomination.
|
|
Man, starting on the other hand, that's a good band.
|
|
That's German.
|
|
That's fine.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
It's not to say that Germany doesn't have any good music.
|
|
Of course it does.
|
|
Like any country.
|
|
And most countries also have terrible music.
|
|
I'm just saying that in Germany, if you are, if you are,
|
|
if you're forced to suffer through German radio,
|
|
which tends to play schlager music, which is just, you know,
|
|
incredibly bottom of the barrel pop music or sort of novelty music,
|
|
you very quickly learn that there is no worse hell.
|
|
Do you like metal music at all?
|
|
Me.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
With which bands?
|
|
Well, lots.
|
|
I was raised on sort of Iron Maiden.
|
|
I mean, very quickly sort of went from the sort of British glam
|
|
metal into more sort of finished symphonic metal.
|
|
So stuff like Camelot and Nightwish.
|
|
Like, okay, you sell it Nightwish.
|
|
Awesome.
|
|
Now I've got my second cousins are in Finland, right?
|
|
Or Finnish?
|
|
Well, the parents are.
|
|
They're ones in Cambridge now and with family and the other ones in,
|
|
not sure, probably Finland somewhere, there's two guys.
|
|
But they, they all grew up in a place called Kiteer.
|
|
K-I-T-E.
|
|
Do you have anything I don't know what that is?
|
|
That's where Tarrata-Termian, where she's called,
|
|
the original Nightwish singer, came from.
|
|
He used to go to school with her, in fact.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Tarrata-Termian.
|
|
Yeah, well, where she's called, yeah, Tarrata, yeah.
|
|
Because they're on the third singer now.
|
|
They've had a third Johnson and that's something, yeah.
|
|
Second one.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
And, yeah.
|
|
So, yeah.
|
|
So I remember going over there in August 2000 as a 14-year-old, yeah.
|
|
At first time over there and there were going,
|
|
it was about, it was about staying there and it was like,
|
|
oh, you can get parrots.
|
|
You can use them from Russia that look copy.
|
|
You don't have a wheelchair for an alien, that's something else.
|
|
They're Russian cakes, but it was also about going to the border
|
|
because my mum's mother was finished and they have a river.
|
|
And she grew up in this farmhouse.
|
|
It was basically, right, you don't go down there.
|
|
Or you can, we can go down here because you're 14 and we're both 16.
|
|
But this is Russia down there in the house.
|
|
It was a Finnish war and they lost the war and lost a bit, quite a big chunk of land.
|
|
It was very much like, if you go into Russia without permission, yeah.
|
|
Even if you just dog walking in the forest and walking there by mistake,
|
|
same thing we came back in August 2008, I think it was.
|
|
2009, on the boat tour, it was very much like, right,
|
|
we can't go on the other side of the lake because that's Russia.
|
|
That's something else.
|
|
But what was interesting was that, and also this, all about night-wish as well.
|
|
Like, what hell's that, what's night-wish?
|
|
And I didn't really understand.
|
|
But then they came over mid-to-dance to a year later in 2001.
|
|
They came over with a Wishmaster album and came into the night-wish pan.
|
|
And it was not particularly known about anywhere back then, I don't think.
|
|
Now it's more stablished around the world.
|
|
Yep.
|
|
Yeah, they're pretty popular.
|
|
I think I think the link to my sister is finished in front of metal, leather.
|
|
And she's stuff I could PhD in.
|
|
She's a completely different business.
|
|
So she studies.
|
|
Oh, and language is on the border, Finland, which are nice.
|
|
Is my first to talk stuck yet?
|
|
Yes.
|
|
Oh, it's so well, I guess.
|
|
It's a bit, can you hear my washing machine as well, or slightly?
|
|
No, I can't just hear myself.
|
|
I thought maybe what I thought was spin-sack or maybe later.
|
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, night-wish.
|
|
What noise do these people go, oh, every night we go female-fronted metal?
|
|
And they go, oh, I like every night-sense.
|
|
And it's like, oh, he's every night-sense.
|
|
You heard of that?
|
|
And yeah.
|
|
Yeah, I don't know about that every night-sense.
|
|
I found Gill in 2003.
|
|
Listen to this.
|
|
The parrot copy is easier than I thought.
|
|
There's like one song that's kind of catchy.
|
|
But I said, can I, you know, that's nothing compared to, say, night-wish.
|
|
Night-wish is just amazing.
|
|
Well, here's really.
|
|
Although, although they probably used the women's singers, and then when they want more money,
|
|
they kicked them out on the band.
|
|
Because the guy wrote the lyrics.
|
|
And I think I read that they're under last singer now.
|
|
If it goes wrong now for a third time, that's it.
|
|
The band's stopping.
|
|
And yeah, I'm made in Deep Purple.
|
|
Yeah, Pink Floyd's Black Sabbath as the classics.
|
|
Yeah, I'm not a bigger fan of Sabbath.
|
|
Deep Purple, I don't really see it as a metal band or sort of a...
|
|
More, yeah, metal rock, yeah.
|
|
Yeah, they should have blues rock.
|
|
Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath.
|
|
I do public speaking, and I've delayed my speech until the 12th of January.
|
|
Now, I was going to do it in November.
|
|
It's only seven minutes, but I do toastmasters, you know what that is.
|
|
And the other Bristol club has got more people there.
|
|
And I'm thinking like, oh, Jesus, coming up now, that bait again.
|
|
And they're going to have to do this speech, but I want to do it well.
|
|
And I'm going to do some sort of speech about banging powerful metal rock music, yeah.
|
|
Which is a bit vague, but I've been thinking like, what am I really going to say here?
|
|
You know what I mean?
|
|
You hear me?
|
|
You hear me?
|
|
Yeah, I can hear you.
|
|
Right, I guess I'm still thinking.
|
|
My acting, my first talk about fits working underwise.
|
|
Yeah, I don't know what toastmasters is.
|
|
That's an international organisation for public speaking.
|
|
It's in 144 countries, basically.
|
|
It's where people go to become better at public speaking, or learn leadership skills,
|
|
a bit of things as well.
|
|
Even a bit just happened, in fact.
|
|
It goes around well, what has done with free software message.
|
|
Don't use anything, but free software.
|
|
He loves and toastmasters originally had to public speak.
|
|
So I read.
|
|
There was a band who taught him to eat things off of his feet while he's talking.
|
|
I saw that video as well.
|
|
That was a, yeah.
|
|
It's awful awful.
|
|
There was a, why do you mean from Bristol or South Losher or whatever?
|
|
I moved originally to Aberystwyth University, then to Hong Kong, then back to Exeter.
|
|
Now I live in Berlin.
|
|
And why have you ended up in Berlin?
|
|
Because that's where the second industry went after public speaking.
|
|
So for what?
|
|
Well, a lot of our tech industry is just up and down.
|
|
So a lot of our software providers, anyone who works in like,
|
|
like web compliance and stuff,
|
|
stuff that I'm going to put up and left.
|
|
So they went to the track track, Rotterdam, Amsterdam.
|
|
Few of them went to Paris and the Volvable went to Berlin.
|
|
I think someone to hate.
|
|
I think, yeah, I think friends behind on tech.
|
|
I mean, it's well, I mean, it used to have the A call.
|
|
Yeah, BBC.
|
|
That was British, wasn't it?
|
|
Oh, yeah.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Yeah, yeah.
|
|
There still is really a rest.
|
|
There's a niche thing.
|
|
There's a risk of action.
|
|
There's to be in February and Brussels, actually.
|
|
Main tricks is British as well.
|
|
But yeah, in terms of the majority of our tech industry is gutted.
|
|
And the web compliance stuff is in a tick jale kind of sucks.
|
|
Basically, the UK was the biggest proponent of the GDR.
|
|
And so, a lot of the net tech stuff was happening in the UK,
|
|
because we had very, very clear stipulations about the GDR.
|
|
We had a very good relationship in Europe.
|
|
We had a very good relationship with America.
|
|
And now that's gone.
|
|
And we're ditching the GDR.
|
|
So...
|
|
D.P.
|
|
Oh, do you say it was the...
|
|
GDR.
|
|
Oh, well, GDR...
|
|
Well, I don't know.
|
|
GDR, I heard, is...
|
|
Like, could you rule thing that came in?
|
|
And it caused problems with certain stuff, yeah?
|
|
GDR, the General Data Protection Regulation.
|
|
Uh-huh.
|
|
The only thing that's problematic about this, I've said a bit.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Well, so essentially what it was is...
|
|
A framework, like with everything in the EU,
|
|
that enables countries to make rules and laws,
|
|
government, the issue of private data.
|
|
And what it does for individuals,
|
|
it gives us the ability to control how we...
|
|
how our data is used by common sense,
|
|
and other individuals,
|
|
and how that data is handled and transported.
|
|
So it's an universally beneficial thing for users,
|
|
but it's an incredibly frustrating thing for compounds.
|
|
This has come to me, shouldn't it exist?
|
|
I'm fine, I'm fine.
|
|
I get for a web company, so I have to deal with it.
|
|
Yes, well, was it you?
|
|
Someone earlier, I was listening only on the stream,
|
|
but they were talking about...
|
|
they were web developer and stuff, yeah?
|
|
Is it about...
|
|
Yeah, I know.
|
|
Even the thing before, is they do fare or something, yeah?
|
|
About what?
|
|
Sorry?
|
|
Do fare or something?
|
|
I don't know if it was you or someone else.
|
|
Oh, we were talking about ghosts so far.
|
|
Yeah, yeah.
|
|
And Gemini.
|
|
Yeah, that's it, it was you.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I thought it was.
|
|
And then we said, well, for it, yeah.
|
|
Yeah, yeah.
|
|
But, um...
|
|
Yeah, the UK is going to be getting rid of the GDPR,
|
|
because they think there's a barrier to investments,
|
|
and they want to entice new businesses from the US.
|
|
But what they want fundamentally to understand,
|
|
is that the GDPR was not exactly to stop American companies
|
|
from using our data.
|
|
And trying to use companies and using...
|
|
You know, also...
|
|
Oh, I think I'm crushing now,
|
|
because I'll be back in the annual sector.
|
|
Yeah, I crushed there, but again...
|
|
Also, if I hold a button down too long,
|
|
it doesn't like it in the library,
|
|
and then the recording probably got lost again,
|
|
but the mind...
|
|
I hope it comes out earlier than all of us this time alone.
|
|
This podcast.
|
|
And then we'll still hear.
|
|
Hello, yeah.
|
|
Yeah, I'm still here, I was just...
|
|
Did I just say I was crushing?
|
|
I don't know if that was her, but...
|
|
See, we've joined the tech industry,
|
|
being really bad at the end of the UK.
|
|
Were you still there?
|
|
But what was your name?
|
|
What is his name?
|
|
It's Boris.
|
|
And then his name is...
|
|
I don't know.
|
|
Boris, what's the name of that?
|
|
You stepped away and mute it.
|
|
Oh, that was it?
|
|
Maybe to do the German New Year,
|
|
because it's like in 12 minutes.
|
|
And yes, this is a big one, actually,
|
|
if you can do the time zone thing,
|
|
this is a very big one.
|
|
Very big one.
|
|
Well, they're figuring out names,
|
|
they've confused myself, saying that.
|
|
Most of the most of you are up for it,
|
|
because that's what's interesting,
|
|
is that he's living there, me,
|
|
somewhere as well.
|
|
It's like, really?
|
|
Okay.
|
|
That's what he said.
|
|
It's not worth...
|
|
Are you still here in that minor?
|
|
Yeah, I was just trying to find the time,
|
|
evidently close to the tab that I heard.
|
|
Yeah, now I mean, I can name most of those countries,
|
|
because like I said, it is your...
|
|
Most of you are up in the next one.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
And we're talking to 1,300 Zulu.
|
|
UTC plus 1,
|
|
GMT plus 1.
|
|
And then it's better next,
|
|
well, Brexit land, I'm going to say, actually.
|
|
And they're not just better,
|
|
it's the Canary Islands as well, actually.
|
|
And also Portugal,
|
|
which is kind of interesting,
|
|
because Portugal is like...
|
|
Oh, in Iceland as well, it will be.
|
|
But Portugal, for some reason,
|
|
they're not in the hour of the plus 1 time zone.
|
|
They're in the British time zone.
|
|
And also the Iceland don't change their clocks,
|
|
or yeah, they found that in May 2015.
|
|
So they just stay in the GMT UTC all through.
|
|
So they're with the UK in the next hour.
|
|
But before that, we got Germany's,
|
|
what are you doing as a trial?
|
|
And where can it is, I assume.
|
|
You just not been on here.
|
|
Maybe Ken is just very busy
|
|
or something this time,
|
|
and he's ever called in,
|
|
but you know what I mean?
|
|
Yeah, I think people...
|
|
I don't know whether it's because it's the Saturday or what,
|
|
but people are trying to get stuff done before the Sunday,
|
|
whatever.
|
|
I don't know, you just think you think
|
|
it can be better on the weekend,
|
|
if that means anything.
|
|
I brought somebody new into the room for you.
|
|
And you brought some new...
|
|
Well, that might say.
|
|
Yeah, it's matching.
|
|
Yeah, it's matching.
|
|
He's all about it, right?
|
|
I think he can come here.
|
|
I think...
|
|
Didn't I talk...
|
|
Hasn't he been on here once before?
|
|
Oh.
|
|
No.
|
|
Oh, he's...
|
|
No, no, he hasn't...
|
|
No, it's some new similar name.
|
|
So he's brand new, really?
|
|
To this.
|
|
We...
|
|
We have another mat that you can come here.
|
|
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking, isn't it?
|
|
Mat...
|
|
Yeah, Mat too.
|
|
Yeah, it's in French.
|
|
I've known Mat for as long as I've known Sparras
|
|
for around the same time.
|
|
Fatty, 11.
|
|
12 years now.
|
|
Well, gentlemen, don't be strangers.
|
|
Please.
|
|
I wanted to get Mat in here because he's probably like me.
|
|
We're gonna sit down.
|
|
We were probably just gonna do our usual tech and coffee sit down
|
|
in a video chat and telegram.
|
|
So now he's in here talking.
|
|
I did tell him...
|
|
I did warn him that this is being recorded in his life
|
|
and maybe three people in the world.
|
|
He seems to be quite reserved for a gentleman from the Republic.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I'm quite quiet to be fair,
|
|
but I like to talk somehow.
|
|
Do you know what he's into?
|
|
You guys were just talking about it.
|
|
Mat is a big metalhead in France.
|
|
I'm just...
|
|
I'm not so...
|
|
Wait, wait, wait, what?
|
|
He's from France.
|
|
He's from France and he's a metalhead, yeah?
|
|
Oh, he even looks the part, but we won't go there.
|
|
He can go to Matthew or Mat if you want.
|
|
No problem.
|
|
Or Mat.
|
|
You might be a maybe Mat's easier in English.
|
|
But yeah, okay.
|
|
Mat.
|
|
What metal do you like?
|
|
Metal bands.
|
|
Metal bands.
|
|
First ever metal band.
|
|
Metalica.
|
|
First ever.
|
|
And last one.
|
|
Slipknot.
|
|
Is he after forever?
|
|
What?
|
|
Well, I don't know if he said after forever.
|
|
I think he said Metallica and I couldn't hear the other two.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
The kind of metal I mean, too.
|
|
I like the last Slipknot.
|
|
I like the last La Cune à Coil.
|
|
It's a European band.
|
|
I like a French band, which is called SUP.
|
|
Extriteration.
|
|
And I'm mostly into it since I'm 16.
|
|
So I've left me.
|
|
I think Metallica is good, but overhyped.
|
|
It's been around a very long time.
|
|
And in fact, now they don't own charity as well.
|
|
They do music and give charity.
|
|
They don't own charity.
|
|
That's how big Metallica is.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Metallica has become so big.
|
|
But when I knew them, they were not that famous.
|
|
They were releasing the Black Album.
|
|
And they're.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I mean, everyone knows Metallica and you say metal.
|
|
But.
|
|
But I mean, the music is just the same as well.
|
|
They're the same old same old.
|
|
It still sounds good.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
They went away from.
|
|
From trash.
|
|
Or a bit with a load.
|
|
We load.
|
|
Begin that.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Battery.
|
|
Master of puppets.
|
|
Battery.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Like that.
|
|
This can.
|
|
You know, music is kind of good.
|
|
They will.
|
|
Everywhere you go, you.
|
|
You're master.
|
|
Master or something like that.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Master of puppets.
|
|
Who can follow mobile's answer, right?
|
|
That means he's saying person.
|
|
Oh, he's left.
|
|
I don't think he's been here in person all day.
|
|
And I've been here.
|
|
It's five a.m.
|
|
Eastern.
|
|
It's definitely the calling.
|
|
So, yeah.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
But it broke.
|
|
It broke probably about four hours ago.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Well, Ken Talon's recording.
|
|
Yes.
|
|
Yes.
|
|
Is it recording now?
|
|
What?
|
|
It's it's recording.
|
|
It says.
|
|
I don't know.
|
|
I don't know.
|
|
I don't know.
|
|
I don't know.
|
|
It's a lie.
|
|
My recording.
|
|
I've crashed.
|
|
That was more for me.
|
|
It gave the podcast.
|
|
Came up in August.
|
|
But I've.
|
|
I've lost that.
|
|
Anyway, I think.
|
|
I mean, I mean,
|
|
would it be so bad if they last.
|
|
They released last.
|
|
Last year up in August.
|
|
And it's like really August.
|
|
Oh, what's up?
|
|
Oh, yeah.
|
|
Last year's show.
|
|
So, I listened to the end bit with clacky.
|
|
Otherwise, talking to him.
|
|
The Swedish or Hong Kong Swedish guy.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
And I was like, oh, yeah.
|
|
I'm a black chap from last year.
|
|
But.
|
|
As long as it doesn't crash and we do it all.
|
|
Well, it's a shame Ken's not been here.
|
|
I've just been busy or something.
|
|
So, we're saying metal.
|
|
So, we have Metallica.
|
|
Um.
|
|
Death.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
I was really curious.
|
|
Uh, since, uh, all my youth, I wasn't to it.
|
|
And, um, then I've been.
|
|
He's called out some rap music, some French rap music.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
And, uh, I've been thinking about a speech.
|
|
I'm doing a hundred speaking.
|
|
I'm doing a metal and rock speech, banging powerful metal and rock.
|
|
I'd laid it from November to January 12th.
|
|
I'm thinking, oh, no, it's coming up now again.
|
|
So, I do, um, it's called Toastmasters.
|
|
Got clubs all over the world for that, actually.
|
|
Public speaking.
|
|
We're a very good thing to be, to be into.
|
|
But, um, I'm thinking, oh, I've got the speech coming up.
|
|
I decided I'm doing something about rock and metal.
|
|
It's like, oh, what am I really going to say up there?
|
|
And also, a lot of people don't really like rock or more.
|
|
I don't like metal because they think, oh, it's just screaming.
|
|
And it's like, no, it's not.
|
|
I don't know what it is.
|
|
But, somewhere it's just amazing.
|
|
The lyrics and the vocals, how it builds up.
|
|
And, uh, some of the hidden, give it a chance.
|
|
Listen to this.
|
|
Woo, that's a nice build up and lyrics hidden away in this song.
|
|
And, ah, yeah.
|
|
No, I find as well.
|
|
There's no proper metal rock station in the UK.
|
|
It's even, there's not, you're something hidden away.
|
|
But, I find it on, like, forward into that radio.
|
|
Put it in from France or Germany or, but not UK.
|
|
The UK is into pop too much at the moment.
|
|
Even though we've got the good classics like Pink Floyd and Deep Purple for Rock and Pad Queen,
|
|
even nuts.
|
|
Well, that's queen.
|
|
But, I don't know.
|
|
It's like, it's like, it's like, it's like, it's because it used to be.
|
|
Was that?
|
|
That was the French fry.
|
|
It was only queen food.
|
|
I had the nation's queen.
|
|
Oh, oh, oh, oh, we're on the hour.
|
|
So, in that case, Happy New Year, Matt, Cause you're in France.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
And're going to say, and that's no idea.
|
|
You hear, by the way.
|
|
That mine, or you?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
This is a big one.
|
|
So, let's see.
|
|
This is just me.
|
|
I'm not leading the list of countries, right?
|
|
So, Happy New Year, French.
|
|
Luxembourg, Luxembourg. Yes, yes.
|
|
Happy New Year! Happy New Year!
|
|
Happy New Year, this is Happy New Year.
|
|
Happy New Year, France, Happy New Year, Luxembourg.
|
|
Happy New Year, Happy New Year, Netherlands, happy New Year, Switzerland,
|
|
Happy New Year Denmark, Happy New Year Sweden,
|
|
I'm out of Swedish by the way, yeah.
|
|
Happy New Year, Norway, happy New Year
|
|
If I missed one of those countries, I'll spain, of course, yeah.
|
|
Although not the Canary Islands, saying that,
|
|
because that's in the UK time zone,
|
|
which is next, or sorry, Brexit land.
|
|
And nice and nice about Iceland earlier,
|
|
but yeah, I may have missed something.
|
|
But yeah, it's most of Europe.
|
|
Well, we're doing things by the sporting try here,
|
|
more than anything.
|
|
So again, we're going
|
|
to be sporting a good old try.
|
|
We're not, we're not, we're not a high precision actor.
|
|
We mean we don't have to be exactly crept
|
|
for the new year, but yeah.
|
|
That's right.
|
|
Oh, well, yeah.
|
|
No, no, no, no, we just try.
|
|
I have, I have a funny, I have a funny story
|
|
about the Azores and Portugal.
|
|
Well, yeah, okay, yeah.
|
|
We'll carry on. What's the story?
|
|
Well, back in the day,
|
|
they were going to make a TV series called
|
|
a mobile connected inventor channel.
|
|
Happy New Year, everybody.
|
|
Happy New Year.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Well, they were going to make a story called
|
|
a series called 12 o'clock high
|
|
about World War II in the 17th place.
|
|
So they had to fly a bunch of
|
|
e7 TV's across the Atlantic Ocean.
|
|
And they landed it in the Azores.
|
|
Can fallen mobile left channel and disconnected?
|
|
The, and what happened was evidently at the Azores,
|
|
they had a connection, the movie company,
|
|
or the TV company had a, had somebody
|
|
would be pocket to move the way.
|
|
I'm sorry.
|
|
And then the, the only way that they could get
|
|
towards England, which was their eventual destination,
|
|
was to land in Portugal.
|
|
Now, the Portuguese see these military aircraft
|
|
with all kinds of fake machine guns
|
|
and what not hanging off of them.
|
|
Also to fake ammunition and what not for the movie.
|
|
And they get very upset, you know,
|
|
they, they feel invaded, but somebody pointed out
|
|
that a flight from the Azores to Portugal
|
|
is a local flight, evidently, Portugal owns the Azores.
|
|
It's like like a US plane going to Hawaii to California.
|
|
So there was saying, wait a minute,
|
|
you haven't gone to a custom, you haven't done this,
|
|
you haven't done that.
|
|
And they said, we don't have to go through customs
|
|
from the Azores to here is a local flight.
|
|
Of course, from Portugal to Britain,
|
|
and after you've done the Atlantic is not too bad,
|
|
unless the weather is broad.
|
|
It's like AFK for me.
|
|
I'm hearing in a hearing.
|
|
Oh, guys, I'm back.
|
|
Can you hear me?
|
|
Thank you.
|
|
I want to put on fish to talk or something.
|
|
I think that's for the echoes coming from.
|
|
Mm-hmm.
|
|
Yeah, the push dot auto on me.
|
|
You needed that or adjust sensitivity or something,
|
|
and turn down the speakers.
|
|
All right, my PTSD's gone crazy.
|
|
They're sending out fireworks everywhere.
|
|
Can you hear me?
|
|
Can you hear me?
|
|
Can you hear me?
|
|
I can hear you.
|
|
I can hear you.
|
|
I can't hear you.
|
|
I can hear you.
|
|
I can hear you.
|
|
I can hear you.
|
|
I can hear you.
|
|
I can hear you.
|
|
I can hear you.
|
|
I can hear you.
|
|
I can hear you.
|
|
I can hear you.
|
|
Thank you.
|
|
I can hear you, Bill, I can hear you.
|
|
I can hear you, Bill.
|
|
I can hear you, Bill.
|
|
I can hear you, Bill.
|
|
I can hear you.
|
|
I can hear you.
|
|
Even if you think pretty heavily
|
|
and you're hot all the time like you're right.
|
|
I can find a fine, there's.
|
|
All right.
|
|
Mm-hmm.
|
|
I can hear you, Bill.
|
|
I can hear you.
|
|
I can hear you.
|
|
Mr. Z, as I think that fish,
|
|
You may have to go through the audio wizard all over again.
|
|
Yeah, I was looking around.
|
|
There actually is a push to talk in the desktop one on I'm using mint and I'm using
|
|
mumble one three four one.
|
|
If you go to configure, I can configure.
|
|
That's right.
|
|
The configuration for the for the, uh,
|
|
uh,
|
|
takes the speech takes to no.
|
|
Yeah, but you're, you're good.
|
|
It's actually with you when it hears you, it, it, it activates.
|
|
So you don't, I don't think you need to use, I'm just self-conscious, but it's
|
|
configure settings, shortcuts, and then you create a shortcut for push to talk.
|
|
So that's the only other way around that I've seen.
|
|
I don't know if it works, but the option is the great one there.
|
|
Yeah, actually now that I look at it, when I go to configure and I click
|
|
settings, I have the option of activating push to talk and stuff.
|
|
Um, it's not, uh, not too hard at all.
|
|
Yeah, they, they must have made it easier since the last time I'm saying, I'm probably,
|
|
I used to run a server and I've used the, I haven't podcast now.
|
|
Usually, you know, audio problems, mumble or post audio, well, it's pretty much
|
|
a crap.
|
|
If you, you know, one in seven times, you have to redo something.
|
|
Yeah, it is, but I mean, this has gotten better.
|
|
I mean, it's still archaic looking, but it's gotten better over the,
|
|
I'm going to step away for a moment.
|
|
Okay, get you in a few.
|
|
Got you.
|
|
So Matt, what do you think of, um, mumble?
|
|
I mean, it kind of does a job.
|
|
It's very similar to what we do.
|
|
And, you know, what we've done for years, it's just audio.
|
|
And it's kind of, to me, mumble always reminded me of IRC for audio.
|
|
Yeah, it's addictive.
|
|
And it's good to, to gather some time and to talk, I like it a lot to be fair.
|
|
So, um, for me, I always come back to take a coffee and try the, the people that are there.
|
|
I, that, you know, I'm maybe a metallic, but I'm a social person too.
|
|
Add me and you're, you know, you know, you know how we feel.
|
|
And sometimes to put out a rejection.
|
|
Sometimes it's a participation and, yeah, I'm back.
|
|
Welcome back.
|
|
Uh, I can't tell you how much I'm itching to finish upgrading my, my new micro PC.
|
|
Is it like one of those nuts?
|
|
I, cause that's what I have like three of those and they're fake nuts.
|
|
Well, these are about the size of a book.
|
|
Yep, those are the ones I have.
|
|
I have one as a Plexervan.
|
|
I have one in front of me.
|
|
And then I bought another one because they went down super and they come with a Buntu already on them.
|
|
But I, I think I'm buying my, I do not touch my technical skills to deal with, with, uh, eBay.
|
|
So I buy a preset up by the Amazon refurbishment.
|
|
Oh, yeah, yeah, no, no, no, I've done that too.
|
|
But the interesting, the interesting thing is one of the ones I was looking at was, was the Ryzen CPU blow in.
|
|
And evidently, the Ryzen CPUs are a little weird because they, they have two integer cores and one floating point core or something like that.
|
|
Yeah, anybody familiar with the Ryzen architecture?
|
|
Not at all.
|
|
The CPU architecture, it's completely, you know, it's a little bit, but yeah, well, CPUs are getting stranger by the day.
|
|
So don't, it's nothing to worry about.
|
|
And I know that Apple come to, um, the silicon market with their new process of the system on the chip.
|
|
I think that's what they call them.
|
|
Yeah, they're, they're, there is a modified arm processor.
|
|
Yeah, yeah, and they gather the different, um, odd that were thinking alone and they gather it.
|
|
They are not thinking, uh, how this has to say, um, configuration, I don't know, um, co-properation.
|
|
Um, I believe that's what the designers call a system on a chip or at least they're putting more of a system all together.
|
|
Memory controllers, interrupt controllers, all of the stuff, these separate chips are now on the same die as the, uh, as the central processor and, and it's cash is.
|
|
Yeah, that's what it was.
|
|
I have, um, I have a notebook here and two, I just bought it, uh, what, uh, one month ago and, uh, yeah, it's a really good piece.
|
|
There's nothing to say about it.
|
|
We can work, we can do with those stuff online, um, it's really good, really, really, everything goes fast.
|
|
I didn't test gaming, but it wasn't the purpose of my time.
|
|
So when I go for gaming, I am generally telling to, um, um, uh, Torah, PC, you know, yes, yes.
|
|
So, may I say something to you?
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Uh, do you watch YouTube videos?
|
|
Oh, yeah, look, there is a woman who, I believe, lives in northern,
|
|
Ontario.
|
|
She does her videos in English, but, but she also, uh, puts on French text because she's
|
|
French phone.
|
|
She, her channel is called One Woman's Wilderness.
|
|
She's a very lovely, one woman's wilderness in English.
|
|
Okay, okay, I got it.
|
|
In the summertime, she works with, or, she works with road crews, uh,
|
|
certifying the quality of their work.
|
|
And in the wintertime, she lives in a remote cabin with a couple of, well,
|
|
she calls them German shepherds, but one is pure white and the other one is one more
|
|
traditional shepherd colored.
|
|
And she, she has built or helped build her cabin, her, um,
|
|
outdoor bathroom.
|
|
She, she's still finishing her cabin in the winter time.
|
|
The winter times.
|
|
She's an impressive lady and as well as a lovely one and because some,
|
|
some of her stuff is in French, I thought it would, you might find it, uh,
|
|
pleasant.
|
|
Yeah.
|
|
Oh, right.
|
|
Yeah, we'll look at it.
|
|
I look at a lot of calling videos and mostly their men,
|
|
mostly they are, they are masculine people,
|
|
but there's also women sometimes, um, and, um, I saw them at Google,
|
|
I saw them, um, but mostly it's a main thing right now.
|
|
Uh, this woman is, I believe, anything but masculine.
|
|
You'll see her walking through the woods and you'll see her standing
|
|
still and small birds will eat seeds right out of her hand.
|
|
Oh, wonderful.
|
|
Yeah, she, she looks like a woodman.
|
|
Yeah, and she, she will, each with wood and as to go to a spring to get her
|
|
water year round, uh, quite impressive because she wrestles,
|
|
containers that several, you know, many leaders into the back of a pickup truck and stuff.
|
|
Um, what was the name of the candle again?
|
|
It's called one woman's wilderness, her name is Lucette, lovely blonde.
|
|
I've been walking around cleaning and listening to you guys,
|
|
because I don't know, my OCD is kicking.
|
|
Yeah, that is.
|
|
Gee, if you're into cleaning, I need to send you an airline ticket.
|
|
Uh, um, my own OCD.
|
|
I, I have, I have the, um, Felix Unger, like with the relationship with my wife,
|
|
I was definitely the feeling clean all day was.
|
|
Well, I'm, I'm definitely the other guy.
|
|
Uh, I was one to do cleanups, but my mother was one of these people who,
|
|
if you started cleaning up in one corner or one room,
|
|
you would suddenly raise the priority of cleaning up the room next door or the other
|
|
corner or anything that you weren't doing.
|
|
It's rather good thing that she didn't drive because she would put one foot on,
|
|
on the gas and one foot on the brake and then she'd wonder what that funny smell was,
|
|
which reminds me, but after the holiday period is over, I will, uh, have to get back to, uh,
|
|
disposing of a lot of the accumulated clutter around here, both mine and, and my parents'
|
|
yeah, as soon as I ordered this little mini PC, uh, Amazon sent to my email.
|
|
We have a computer you might be interested in, and it was a desktop with the same kind of
|
|
system unit as, as I was buying the mini PC to replace.
|
|
Uh, I think you said it was about me piling one with your mini PC.
|
|
Well, I've got a Raspberry Pi that's acting as my, uh, app cache and it will be handling other
|
|
chores of camera for real mini PC.
|
|
You can check out Indiegogo right now if you want for a DVD window I did, I did, I did,
|
|
I was for the older DVD mini PC game, well, pop gaming and productivity, um, tool, um,
|
|
devices and things, DVDs are yet, come Hong Kong, that is a real, but those are real mini
|
|
PCs, they're like, what, six inch screens and stuff. Yeah, they've got mini PCs, yeah.
|
|
Well, the funny thing is that one of the reasons that I built that server was that it had
|
|
three screen capability, uh, two display ports and one VBA, because I like using the VBA
|
|
screen as a model. Well, so Raspberry Pi, I mean, well, there'd be a family of quite a lot,
|
|
quite a few, I think it's 2011 actually the first Raspberry Pi and it was from Wales as well,
|
|
which is kind of interesting, kind of cool and white, it's UK, but Wales not England,
|
|
but yeah, there's Pi 64 and all sorts of things now. I am told that the Raspberry Pi
|
|
Foundation promises to normalize Pi production by maybe a mid-summer.
|
|
Yeah, I mean, I know it can be used for servers and you can do some quite interesting things
|
|
with the Raspberry Pi. I'm glad to be honest, I never really got much internet myself,
|
|
even though I do have a Raspberry Pi or two lying around there somewhere.
|
|
Well, I'm really thinking of it for, and I have a two gig Pi that may replace the eight gig
|
|
that I have. The reason that I would free up the eight gig for more robust uses, you know,
|
|
VMs and Docker clusters and stuff like that, but what I'm going to, what I want to,
|
|
the Pi focus I'm looking at is right now it does app caching. I'm on DSL, so my download speeds
|
|
are not that great. And since I have gigabit ethernet within the house,
|
|
the downloading stuff with the Pi to a local machine is a lot faster than pulling it off the wire.
|
|
Yeah, I guess so. Besides, a lot of this is a learning experience. And again,
|
|
I'm trying to get around Linux-based VMs and Docker containers and whatnot and get rid of
|
|
Google. Talking about virtual machines and Linux,
|
|
did you follow the WSL Windows system Linux that they are working on?
|
|
I don't know if it is recent or but it seems probably recent and you can have Linux in a Windows
|
|
machine without the data. I've had that in store then the wall of original when they
|
|
do subsystems of Linux in a Windows 10 or laptop before. There's an update with where it can do
|
|
I even built runs on the GNOME stuff or something now, more so, but it's sort of interesting,
|
|
but it's also probably a little bit like Kake and my Linux apps on a Chromebook with something
|
|
similar to that emulation and it can run most Linux programs on a Chromebook. And that I think
|
|
is amazing as well. The Windows system for Linux, I think, is more because Microsoft and big companies
|
|
want to add Linux and Windows and then it kind of makes sense to allow them to run some of the
|
|
Linux programs in Windows like that. It's not really aimed at home users, although home users could
|
|
potentially use it as well. Yeah, I don't know since how it's on the road, but now you can add your
|
|
graphical interface inside Windows. It's really welcoming news, I think, for the role of Linux and
|
|
how deeply they are integrated now. Well, there's also virtual machines as well where you can do
|
|
virtual box or something and have an actual Windows or whatever inside your operating system.
|
|
And that for the most part will actually work like it was in a store on real hardware.
|
|
Well, the Windows sub-system also, I believe, it probably requires a pro-level windows license.
|
|
No, no, no, no, no. I got a... I got a sort of Windows 10 home or whatever, yeah, yeah, yeah.
|
|
It's free for everyone, I just did it this evening and it's working really fine. You can download
|
|
it's all going to be in place again.
|
|
I think the Microsoft Graphicals are porting the later version, but really it's running
|
|
to get the proper experience.
|
|
You need to get that in the same virtual machine.
|
|
You can have a bunch of virtual machines inside windows and it would, you know, actually
|
|
work for the Linux things, not everything.
|
|
But really, it's a proper Linux system to install it properly on a computer, and really
|
|
Windows is not particularly good.
|
|
I mean, they've improved it in Windows, they haven't used Windows 11 just yet, but I believe
|
|
that's improved a bit here and there, but really Windows is not a particularly good operating
|
|
system.
|
|
It crashes, it needs to be boot after updates, there can be viruses, etc.
|
|
Linux is, the next distribution is designed to be more secure, the security is not a bolt
|
|
on, it's designed very passionate people, Linux is just better, but it does not dominate
|
|
the desktop because the normal computer, because most people don't understand tech enough.
|
|
Well, the problem, even if we look at Windows 10 or 11 as an operating system, it is the
|
|
amount to telemetry that is baked into the system, the amount to data, root level, data
|
|
access that you give Microsoft by running a Windows license.
|
|
Well, yeah, it's incredible.
|
|
Well, yeah, I believe that's probably true.
|
|
And also, if you read the actual, the actual license window, try to add on it, at all
|
|
Microsoft Office, flatmaster, WordExcel Powerpoint, you know, it's all about, you can't do this,
|
|
you can't do that, you cannot do that, you must not do that, you're not allowed to do this,
|
|
you're not allowed to do that, you can't do that, you can't trade the code, you can't
|
|
get into code, you can't trade the phone with your neighbor, you can't do this, you can't
|
|
do that, whereas obviously if you read a license, so a GPL program on the other hand, general
|
|
public license, or it's probably the BSD license saying that as well, but not to quite the
|
|
same extent, but you know, it's all about, yes, you can do that, you can use a program,
|
|
yes, you can share this with your neighbor, yes, you're allowed, it's all about freedom,
|
|
and if people knew that or read the license and actually got it, but of course most people
|
|
click accept and that's it, I don't know if anybody's seen a South Park, but there's a very
|
|
funny episode or, well, if you know, Shats South Park, they do like Extreme Schumer,
|
|
it's, you know, Extreme Schumer, and there's one where they've done Apple, and they press,
|
|
they've accepted the license, and then, oh, that episode, it's just like, well, why is it okay?
|
|
That's what you accepted, is it? Well, well, so in America, we have, allegedly,
|
|
the HIPAA Act, which is supposed to keep all of your patient data secure, but if you have
|
|
stuff, but if this stuff is running on a window, it's just, yeah, yeah, I know.
|
|
Same problem, same thing in the UK, we got an NHS, National Health Service, there's, you know,
|
|
medical reports and things like that, and they use windows, yeah, and the banks as well,
|
|
they're the banks are using windows as well, and it's just upgraded from XP, they were using XP
|
|
until last years. Yeah, well, yeah, some of the computers were XP still, and also there was a,
|
|
there was a shell shock, not shell shock, um, there was a security issue a few years back with,
|
|
like, botnet or something, or ransomware attack, and the NHS were like more of the organizations
|
|
to be mostly hit by it, because they were still running XP and stuff. Good stuff. Yeah, with my,
|
|
my library was, was doing a lot of that for whatever. Also, heck you, you look at YouTube today,
|
|
and all over it, there's ways, they're, they're telling people ways of running XP and windows
|
|
2000 at the current time. Yeah, but that's just to get clicks and whatever else, you know, I mean,
|
|
the people that do that, they're doing it on like weird devices, I don't know, half that YouTube
|
|
stuff is good. So it's like, hey, I got to run Windows XP or Windows 95 on this calculators.
|
|
Well, well, under some, under some condition, if you're doing, doing retro games or something,
|
|
and you, you're going to do things strictly in-house. I read that Instax Explorer is a die on the
|
|
14th of February, 2024, and that's it. That's it. It's gone. It's just going to be edged,
|
|
and that's it's completely gone. Well, for me, it died December 5th of last year, because my last
|
|
day at working where I did retired, and they still ran in the bank I worked for. They still ran
|
|
Internet Explorer as a, because they had archaic servers that only worked in that. You couldn't
|
|
use another browser unless somehow you could emulate to it, and sometimes you can do it with a
|
|
Chrome plug-in. You still need Internet Explorer. Well, I, last time I was in the hospital,
|
|
I saw a lot of XP plug-in screen and stuff like that. I saw one thing, think of the bus stop,
|
|
or some sort of Windows by mistake on the way it says the bus, when the bus is supposed to be coming.
|
|
And I was like, hey, that was a Windows not many, but the top of the screen. I was like a month ago.
|
|
Yeah, it's really funny, when you're when you're a bus or you're a train or what have you
|
|
have to reap the Windows. Yeah, it's like, it's like, it's like the use the worst operating system.
|
|
Well, generally speaking, I think most of the tech people would agree with this, actually.
|
|
The, well, you saw the business type tech people and so on, you know, they use Windows to
|
|
store some of the most, like, the data that space speaks of cure, and it's like, why are you using
|
|
the worst operating system to do this? The most insecure, the most complicated. For users,
|
|
okay, I got in an argument with this at Oddcamp when you're with somebody. I don't mind,
|
|
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,
|
|
sorry, sorry, sorry, you said you've been to Oddcamp. Multiple times, where are you from?
|
|
I'm from New York, originally, but I live in Jacksonville, Florida. I wonder if I've met you then,
|
|
because there was at least one American there. I've met you in person then. Yeah.
|
|
Who are you? There was at least one American guy, or maybe it must have been you, yeah.
|
|
So you're the chef. I'm always wearing a cruise shirt. So I'm always working for him because I'm an idiot.
|
|
I travel overseas. Oh, you won the crew as well. Yes, I was your crew. I remember going up,
|
|
so I remember in Sheffield at the end, remember it was in that home, that university campus,
|
|
and then you could go out on the balcony up on the third floor, and I went up with you,
|
|
were you, I believe? No, I wasn't at Sheffield. That was the one I missed.
|
|
No, that was the one I missed. I mean, it was a little bit American guy.
|
|
It might have been in Whiteville, and Whiteville. Yeah, I think there's two American guys,
|
|
then I should one of them. But yeah, I don't know if Oddcamp's going to be on in 2023.
|
|
I mean, it might be, but I think they're looking for the last two, they were covered in
|
|
Scotland. That was that was handled for that. Well, because I always go to Scotland first,
|
|
before I had 2020, we were going to be in Chaser. 2020 was going to be Edinburgh,
|
|
but obviously that didn't happen because of the Covid pandemic. Yeah, we were trying to do
|
|
even a virtual one. We were trying something, but it failed. Fosdom had virtual fosdom,
|
|
and their setup was quite impressive. Mostly one by three software, but virtual fosdom
|
|
appeared to real fosdom is just not good, you know. Well, but when you're stuck at home,
|
|
well, there's nothing to do with those, because I went to PenguCon, I went to ModsFast,
|
|
and that was all virtual. I sat right here, and actually, technically, some of it, I was supposed
|
|
to be working, but you know, I worked remote for like seven years, so I didn't have a crap,
|
|
and I said, if you get anything else, like three no live, when that was on,
|
|
no, I haven't been to three no live. Not only happened twice, nothing happened ever again,
|
|
because obviously three no's collapsed since. I just know a lot of people had on hand,
|
|
and they were pushing me for about two years to go, because I was always in the IRC channels,
|
|
and then the, some other stuff, but I mean, Dan and a few other people pushed me to go,
|
|
and I ended up going down Pete, he can in, so hanging out with Dan and Fab and stuff.
|
|
Fab and Fab and Popea.
|
|
I mean, I know Popea, but it's like weird. It's like, you follow up online, and he ignores you,
|
|
not even the first time. He's too important online, but I mean, like, let's go out of here,
|
|
I'm like, Popea, you can follow me back. Yeah, I mean, the first time in person, the old camp,
|
|
and it was like, yeah, and then with people like Martin, Wimpress, yeah.
|
|
Well, that's why I always call people like here. I said, look, if you follow me or tech and coffee,
|
|
now I'll follow you back, but half the time I don't know the people, so just tell me who you are,
|
|
then I'll follow you back, because you know, let's I see it. I have the worst memory, too. I have
|
|
PTSD, so I forget things. I mean, I literally forget things. But Facebook ignition, it seems,
|
|
I remember in chef, no, no Liverpool one of the years, I think it was actually, I was going to
|
|
go back with someone, so tell them, I'm not sure why I was, and I ended up following the wrong
|
|
person back, caught up with them, and it was like, oh no, they're not even with us. I think this
|
|
is not even, I think they're not even with us in the conference. Whoops, oh well, like you taxi
|
|
of walkable, it's annoying. But people don't remember me saying that. Yeah, I usually have glasses
|
|
and 30 blind hair, usually. Yeah, I think remember me, usually.
|
|
Anyway, public speaking group, whatever, just I'm remembers. But why not by everyone, though,
|
|
I love people. Yeah, well, one of the things that I found interesting on YouTube is somebody had made
|
|
a server distro that was designed to run to host older versions of Windows, older versions of
|
|
macOS and random stuff like stuff like that. And half of their documentation was warning people not
|
|
to use it, that it was designed for retro computing. It was not designed for anything requiring
|
|
security. Everything was configured open for the more primitive literature. So, can I just
|
|
just interrupt for a second. So the next time, though, it's actually my time, though, in some UK,
|
|
so that's Brexit, then I'm going to call it because yeah, Britain, Iceland as well, yeah,
|
|
the Canary Islands that belong to Spain, and also Portugal actually.
|
|
Some reason it's in that time, too, and there could be some other place on what I'm not sure about.
|
|
However, that also means that I'm going to get the TV or the big Ben London fireworks that
|
|
are about to happen. So I'll be back here in around 15, 20 minutes or so again.
|
|
But yeah, happy to hear to me, my country, woo, happy. Yeah, Edinburgh will be doing fireworks,
|
|
too, in London, and maybe Cardiff, I don't know, because we were talking about Edinburgh,
|
|
yeah, that's what I'd say that. They're doing it here, too. Yeah, it's always something
|
|
that doesn't early as well, okay, it's not midnight yet, don't do it three minutes, too. Come on,
|
|
or some do it, and now we're early actually, possibly. Matthew, you're still there? Yes, I'm here.
|
|
Just looking up to say, you wish me that you're here. He's in 2023, so far there's a world,
|
|
it's not being euked to anything, but, um, I don't know. What? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, who knows
|
|
with what, with some of the things that are going on at the moment, you know, wars and stuff.
|
|
I don't have to worry about nooks too much. I live in the Boston area. No, I think Russia can
|
|
blow Boston, but Boston up as well if they feel like it, so you're not safe. What, um, no, where,
|
|
I'm like, where in Boston? My wife was from Lowell. I'm south of the city, south of Quincy,
|
|
Quincy. Oh, I know the area because trust me, I had to family, I had to be there all the time.
|
|
I mean, even though our family lived in California and they moved at six, I still went back a lot
|
|
for their people, you know, so I don't even know who they are. Well, I have heard that the Boston
|
|
City Hall is an aim point for Russian bombs and missiles. People who look at the Boston City Hall
|
|
architecturally agree that it should be bombed. It's one of the ugliest buildings architecturally
|
|
that I know about them. Now, they would like them to use a rather smaller bomb than their liable
|
|
to use on Boston, but they would certainly, there were a lot of people that wouldn't mind if the
|
|
city hall was rubbed just as long as there wasn't too much collateral damage. I've been there. I
|
|
mean, I know Boston, I know Philly pretty well. I mean, originally from Pequib City, if you know
|
|
where that is, but I've lived all over. I've lived all over the country. I don't know New York very
|
|
well. I mean, when we were headed to West Virginia, we would go up 84 and we'd be a peak skill,
|
|
fish skill area. Oh, fish skill is right next to Pequib. I mean, it's 25 minutes away. Yeah, well,
|
|
as I said earlier, my dad was up there with IBM. I worked in the East Fishkill plant. So if you
|
|
know that area, I worked in the East Fishkill plant. I don't think it's that good, but he was part of
|
|
Raytheon was somehow coordinating with IBM when they were doing their first silicon wafer based
|
|
discrete integrated circuits. Instead of stuff being etched on like we're used to with modern
|
|
chips, they would actually lay down metal substrates. And then on top of that, they would put
|
|
microscopic transistors, resistors and everything. It was what they called hybrid integrated circuits.
|
|
It was rather it was rather a shock to see them in a book on the 360 machines. I had seen those
|
|
little square waferes all over the dresser were where my dad emptied his pockets and he even had
|
|
a tie clip with one of them on it. But see seeing them in a book on IBM systems. Also, I've got
|
|
another things go round and round. IBM had a system called the 650. The main memory was a drum
|
|
and every instruction also had the address of the next instruction because the drum would rotate
|
|
and ideally you would want the next instruction to come up after you would the processor had finished
|
|
the one that you were having it do. The interesting thing is the kind of interleaving that they had
|
|
to do on that drum computer is the same kind of interleaving that they had to do to optimize
|
|
some of the risk machines so that the processor could execute instructions one after the other
|
|
and then have them out of order but have the results ready when they were needed. So the most
|
|
advanced silicon processors of well fairly current time use the same kind of instruction
|
|
shuffling that was used for the drum drum machines. Oh, that's kind of. Yeah, I've got to take a
|
|
short intermission here and I've got another drum story for you. Okay. The good time I'm cleaning
|
|
because I'm OCD. Matt, you, Matt. Did you sing it because I didn't want to broadcast it?
|
|
It was interesting. I just wanted to know how to do it. Hello everybody. Happy New Year.
|
|
Happy New Year. I don't know. I'm cleaning. I don't know how happy it is. Like, you really don't
|
|
celebrate many of the holidays. My OCD max clean. I'm thinking about throwing in from three
|
|
stages. I found all these upstairs. It's three minutes to move New Year's into UK.
|
|
And a whole bunch of servers around the world that have their time configured for UTC.
|
|
Doesn't Linux keep the on board clock UTC and then translate? Yeah, that's right. Epic.
|
|
Well, you mix Unix Epic time. Well, whatever, but I'm just saying your real time clock is at UTC
|
|
and then they convert, I think. I mean, I could be completely wrong, but I think, I mean, it depends
|
|
system to system, but if you're talking about Unix Epic time that, I mean, number of seconds
|
|
since 1970, I think that's in UTC is the time zone for that. Either way, unless in a minute,
|
|
it's going to be midnight. Yeah, and I think we hit that one a little early, just a little while ago.
|
|
Happy New Year's in the UK. Canary Island or wherever else? Well, Burrows Corporation
|
|
had this great idea for fast storage. They had a six foot long drum, spending an 880 RPM
|
|
with a whole bunch of read right heads along its links. And because the heads were on one
|
|
band around around the drum, reading data could be done very fast because there was no head move.
|
|
They would just read one ring of data or a segment of a ring of data and whatnot. And then
|
|
just electronically switch between these things were a great idea. Except they had a little problem.
|
|
First, they literally weighed a ton. And the second thing is that the gyroscopic forces of running
|
|
a ton of very fast rotating metal tended to want to have the want to walk these drums across your
|
|
computer room floor. However, in the second generation, they fixed the problem. They put two drums
|
|
together, had one of them spinning clockwise and the other one spinning counterclockwise,
|
|
so that the gyroscopic forces cancel each other out. Of course, that also meant that these things
|
|
weighed two tons instead of one ton. But you know, at least it wasn't trying to tear up the place.
|
|
The American military had some exciting adventures when they tried to put one of these first
|
|
generation drums in the back of a truck while it was operating. The truck was driving down the road
|
|
with its huge gyroscope in the back. It didn't work out very well. And they also, the Navy tried
|
|
it on chipboard, but the gyroscopic forces were not healthy for merit for navigation. Eventually,
|
|
so-called drum memory was done with discs, with a row of heads across the platter, so that they had
|
|
similar, they lacked seek time, but they also lacked the tremendous gyroscopic forces of a big drum.
|
|
Also, a military computer was donated to UMass Boston. It was probably a great machine.
|
|
I know that the cabinet was bulletproof, probably literally. There was one small problem. The cabinet
|
|
had been made for security by Noah's word, the safe company. And as far as I know, nobody cracked
|
|
the safe to get into this obsolete military computer. Trying to figure out what?
|
|
How late I wanted my time. I'm not really tired, but I have this feeling. How late are you staying?
|
|
As late as I can do it with minimal chemical assistance.
|
|
Oh, I got it. Yeah, no. I mean, I was like, are you going to do the full 26? I've been in here
|
|
on and off since 5 a.m. Well, actually, technically, I've been in since 5 a.m. Stop. I just kept changing.
|
|
Kind of almost seamlessly, other than- Well, I've been up since before 4 a.m. Eastern.
|
|
Dang, that's the time I usually get- I get up around 4 30 and get out the-
|
|
Well, I've been- when I get focused on stuff, I get distracted. And I was doing my
|
|
usual YouTube stuff, although I've been trying to cut down on my YouTube channels.
|
|
I reserve YouTube for pretty much half a day a week. Usually Sundays, mornings, and then by new
|
|
and I stop you. Because if I don't, I'm just going to do it all day. I'll just keep doing YouTube.
|
|
So I just minimize my YouTube for then because I'll fall asleep watching YouTube.
|
|
And I won't even know what I watched. And then it'll go into some weird- I watch a lot of repair
|
|
videos because I repair cameras and I repair old radios and stuff. So I watch those guys. That's
|
|
kind of like porn to me. I'll watch those half the night. And then I wake up and I'm in the middle
|
|
of like, I don't know, Mr. Carlson's three-hour video on him repairing an old radio. Like, how did
|
|
this happen? If you hardly watch the guy- I don't know exactly how it goes except I don't let auto-play
|
|
happen. You name it. I probably watched a repair video. I probably subscribed to him, repair videos
|
|
for any radio or any electronic- some cameras. I follow mostly photographers, Ed Pavaz and the
|
|
York and stuff like that. So should I do a beer or not? I'll do a whiskey and I brought it back
|
|
to Scotland. You know what? Whiskey. You said whiskey? I'm going to go upstairs and grab a bottle.
|
|
Don't tell me that I will leave you. I wish you were there. Are you going to leave now?
|
|
Yeah, I'm going to, I'm going to back this one up. Okay, I'll come there.
|
|
Okay, in about two hours I'll come by and nudge you and wake you up it. Okay, so we can go.
|
|
Okay, I'll be right here in a few hours. Happy New Year. Happy New Year, man.
|
|
Thanks for everything and enjoy your time. Thank you for coming in, man. I mean,
|
|
it took a little while for me to coach you to come in. You know, I didn't want to. It's
|
|
first but he came in taking it, screaming almost literally.
|
|
So Happy New Year once again and goodbye. Goodbye, man. You have a good night. I'll talk to you tomorrow
|
|
soon. Okay. Okay, I got an open bottle of chevis. No, I did not get the chevis overseas. That would be
|
|
the two bottles I bought overseas that are left here. They're still sealed and I'm going to keep
|
|
it that way because they sell the British seals on them from you can't get them here in a state.
|
|
So we're just going to do a bottle of wait, wait, wait, I got, I got, what is it? Three monkeys and
|
|
I got chevis, which one? Three monkeys. Have a bottle of screwball here. I've been deleting channels
|
|
left and right. My channel count is not going down. I think there's a little problem with
|
|
I mean, I don't delete panels. I just don't watch as many and I took a lot of them off.
|
|
I don't like to join the chat because I actually have a verified channel. So that usually brings
|
|
up stir and stuff. Last time I joined, there was a linux show. What is it? The coffee clatch or
|
|
something Pete got me to join that. And as soon as I joined, I started talking to like, there's
|
|
a verified person in here. I'm like, yeah, only because Google has made me some sort of ambassador.
|
|
All the coffee and tech guys. Yeah, that's us. Literally, I think half of our admins,
|
|
back in the day, got check marks because we were always in meetings with Google.
|
|
Well, the stuff that I found interesting is like how FGP works passive and active and I'm just
|
|
going through a ton of stuff also. I did have some cheapo champagne here too. All right, whiskey.
|
|
Now I have to find a whiskey and I have to drink it like like a slid a little bit of temper.
|
|
Who knew I was drinking it raw all the years before I went to see it?
|
|
Yeah, Scottsman watching you hold that damn yeah. Oh, yeah, no, I got I got I got learned
|
|
overseas multiple times. Oh, and also do not call it Scotch in Scotland that they will
|
|
laugh at it is Scottish ski or just whiskey. I do have a whiskey for sure is everyone.
|
|
Well, thank you because my pills do not black alcoholic beverages. They I haven't had alcohol
|
|
and God, it's going to be decades. I'm always in moderating. I've been on weekends since pandemic
|
|
beginning. On weekends, I'd go down to because I live really close and I don't, you know,
|
|
four miles, that's really close, but four miles are in the beach and we'd go down to the beach
|
|
as bars and they love to drink. I'd like drink. I like I like whiskey, but I don't like to be
|
|
intoxicated. So I'll drink and then I'll disappear. There's usually a coffee shop or most of the bartenders
|
|
know to make me a faux drink like cranberry juice. I have the time they don't know. Yeah, well,
|
|
yeah, I just yeah, I do my YouTube because I don't have any TV or anything.
|
|
Hello from 2023. The world is what's the future look like?
|
|
It's a little bit too early to tell, but I just I wonder, I wonder with the, you know,
|
|
the I was reading about this this ship that Putin has, he's going to put it put near Britain
|
|
with loads of new forms to show he could do something. So I'm a bit worried about that if it's
|
|
going to happen. Other than that, yes, it's so far it's it's okay. We have electricity still.
|
|
We have internet. We have TV. We'll not net my name apparently, but well, everyone else.
|
|
Well, it's not, it's history of the bomb. Although it says kind of weird, isn't it? Because
|
|
how it can like go to the past as well. You can communicate to the past that I'm doing right now. Hello
|
|
2022. Yes, yeah, it's like split between, oh, actually, this just like watched a London firework
|
|
thing. I had like three channels to watch it on. I was like, right, we've seen one.
|
|
I did what got what got me was a dude named Sam Rider. Anyone who knows Sam Rider is
|
|
maybe not a few marathon. Well, not even though I go over there all the time. Well, you know,
|
|
have you ever had a Eurovision? Unfortunately, no, no, absolutely. You have, okay, okay.
|
|
He won in, well, he was second place in the 2022 May, May won. Ukraine won first place,
|
|
not surprise the prizes in that saga. I mean, some of it's politics and some of it's actual
|
|
music votes. But obviously, because the war is going on, they're not going to have your
|
|
origin in Ukraine in 2020. It's going to be in Liverpool again instead, because Britain,
|
|
some reason became second place, even that was Sam Rider doing a song, and I didn't like that song,
|
|
and even though Britain is traditionally hated by Europe, or so they say on these things.
|
|
And so they were doing his, like, a show with him. And I was like, oh, Sam Rider, I don't watch this.
|
|
He was in my local city the other week as well. Yeah, for a bit, go the size gear there.
|
|
And then I watched the firework display. I thought this is, it doesn't look so good this year.
|
|
ITV, oh, they're showing how, Sky Show, okay, I was showing that it didn't look very good this year
|
|
on TV. Apparently there were like 12,000 fireworks though, actually getting set off in London.
|
|
So in person, it probably was quite good. Imagine that, 12,000 fireworks being set,
|
|
I'm like, cleanly said, I think it's like 12,000. They're going after all the fire,
|
|
I think they said in London, they had 12,000 fireworks to light up, yeah. That's insane.
|
|
That is a lot of fireworks, isn't it? Well, on the 4th of July, Boston has not only the Boston
|
|
tops, but we have a couple of 105 power tours for the 1812 overture. Yep, we're one of the few
|
|
orchestras with the construction sector. And right now, New England is doing its best to emulate
|
|
Old England, humidity is not a lot. But the state, I mean, you mean the state, yeah?
|
|
Well, yeah, the North East, the North and East states of the United States are getting
|
|
rents fairly heavily. Did you say rich? Well, rents washed down fairly heavily. But then,
|
|
again, as I say, at least we're not troubling it. We said they were emanating the way
|
|
saying they're going to be like England. Rainy, dark and wet, not too cold. It's 53 degrees,
|
|
sorry, I don't have it. You mean you have 53 degrees? If that was OC, but like plus degrees,
|
|
that would be very, very hot. Or if it was the other way, that would be like, well, you'd die in
|
|
that. I expect it would be so cold. Well, there is one interesting temperature, negative 42 degrees.
|
|
Do you have a towering height? We'll see because we've got
|
|
Americans of this Fahrenheit thing and we didn't see. And what else does see? OC. Yeah, well,
|
|
negative 42 is negative 42. Yeah, I think it would be very cold or very hot, I guess.
|
|
Well, also, I suspect it's Douglas Adams' favorite temperature.
|
|
Ah, that's a very reference number three. I have to talk to somebody else through.
|
|
I feel like this year, this show, you know what I'm saying, it's like, if he feels like we're
|
|
lacking someone, you know what I mean? Or maybe not just someone, but a few people even.
|
|
Like, where's Dan and Joel this should be on here? Yeah, wherever they are. It's just like
|
|
standard has been like, nose of people like more than us chatting all at once before.
|
|
Well, it goes through this, slows down, picks back up, slows down, picks back up.
|
|
Just this year, it's been mostly been a lot of the same guys all day long. Yeah, I resemble that
|
|
with Mark. Maybe we didn't do enough to advertise or something, even get an uncle to join us.
|
|
Well, maybe, maybe because it's a Saturday. Yeah.
|
|
I didn't mind the vice, because if we can, what does that matter? Surely it's a bad time to do it,
|
|
isn't it? Or is it not because people have, it would take kind of luck in the week if it's on
|
|
here in the week, huh? Well, well, around here, a lot of people are working Monday through Friday,
|
|
and when they need to stock up on their groceries or get the kids new clothes for going back to school
|
|
after the holiday or what have you, that is what fills the stores on Saturday. Around here on Sunday,
|
|
there are what they call blue laws which tend to shut stuff down and everybody's at home
|
|
or they go to church or something. Yeah, well, in England, we have this stupid, I say stupid,
|
|
because I want to be able to food shop on a Sunday if I feel like it. And at a late time, so
|
|
so what they do, what it's been like this for a long time, but they close all the big supermarkets.
|
|
Well, one that they can be open from like 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and then they close and normally they'd be
|
|
open until the later evening, like nine o'clock, eight o'clock, whatever. So the smaller little
|
|
convenient shops can stay open, but a lot of shops will close at four o'clock, which is annoying.
|
|
Yeah, and a lot, that means that a lot of people will shop on Saturday when the stores are open
|
|
or a Saturday might close like the earlier as well, depending on what shop it is like really.
|
|
But, but they're level to be open at maybe nine o'clock or eight o'clock in the morning,
|
|
so you can, you have from like nine to four or nine to whatever, you know, more like a normal day.
|
|
Not into the evening, but still everybody's not rushing into.
|
|
But what I was asked for, ask for a church and things like that. Well,
|
|
why we have we have something called census in the UK, which comes out every sort of things every
|
|
10 years or so. And there was one done about and there was one done about two years ago. It's
|
|
basically you have to, I think you have to fill it in by law really as well. It's just some
|
|
basic questions in the government wants to know about the population, things like that, and I had to
|
|
do it last time. And as it was done, and you can put, yeah, I think you can actually get
|
|
fine from not doing it. It was like really. And it came and I saw a report saying that apparently
|
|
75% of people in Britain have basically said, because you can say you're on a lot of things before
|
|
you go like British Christian or like what's your ethnicity? What's your religion? Why are you?
|
|
And you know, in the past lot of people go British Christian or white British or white
|
|
British and things like that. But I read that call saying that lots of people are now 75% of people
|
|
have basically said in the census that they are not Christian. They're not British Christian,
|
|
and so yeah, of course, talking about, well, in that case, if religion is mostly
|
|
dying out or not as popular, should the church have such a hold on the country? Because there's a lot
|
|
of churches around and there's a church of England as well with what's more power. It's got left
|
|
and things and it's like, but I think it's kind of true. I think a lot of people are not religious now.
|
|
That's in Britain, but elsewhere, probably America as well. I think religion has
|
|
died out a bit in these kind of countries. I think Christmas is a commercial holiday for the most part.
|
|
Well, yeah, unless you go to a church and actually sit down and church or something, yeah. Otherwise,
|
|
it's very much by this, by that, by this, isn't it? Well, the problem is not the number of believers
|
|
it's the connections that the deacons and pastors and priests and bishops and what the churches
|
|
tend to be top heavy in clout. So the average Joe might want to do shopping,
|
|
but his parish bishop or what have you will have the era of some politicians saying
|
|
we have to keep the Sabbath holy for. Make sure these people got nothing else to do except
|
|
show up in my church and fill my collection plate. Thank you. Yeah, well, they don't mention the last
|
|
part. It's just implied. By the way, there was an interesting analysis of British Navy World War
|
|
and post-war. They found that the British Navy fought World War One with lots less admirals,
|
|
her ship for the number of ships that they were actually sending out in combat. After the war,
|
|
they got rid of a lot of ships, but they didn't get rid of a lot of admins. And somebody said that
|
|
there would be somebody had calculated how many admirals the British Navy would still have,
|
|
even if they had no ships. Yeah, well, it's like, well, it's 2020, well, 2022, so it's
|
|
2020-23, depending on where people are, but in other words, it's even further a go now. It's like,
|
|
you know, it's another year. It's kind of more and more back in time. Plus, in the Britain,
|
|
actually, they mostly focused on World War Two and the schools and stuff, so World War One was always
|
|
a bit more quiet for some reason, but they would be teaching him about Hitler and World War Two
|
|
and things in the schools, yeah. I had the honor and I didn't realise how much of an honor was.
|
|
The, I believe, it was the father of a friend of my father's wife was an anti-aircraft gunner in
|
|
World War One. I had the honor when I was younger of meeting this gentleman. Someone said that they
|
|
were 70, well, that you, idea. Old unit. No, I'm getting up to, I'm over 60. That doesn't tell us
|
|
the real age, though. Well, I'm soon to be 65. Okay, so some of these said they were 70,
|
|
I hope they had a seven from an age. I guess not you, but yeah, so yeah, World War Two.
|
|
Well, 65. Actually, actually, what was even more interesting? I think the other people will talk
|
|
about World War One and Three, yes, for all of these kind of reasons, but yeah. Well, also, I was raised
|
|
in a combative household. I often sympathised with the people of France, you know, just sitting there.
|
|
And sat France free, actually, in one of those rules. Yeah, well, I'm aware, both American,
|
|
but the deal is that with my parents fighting over my head, it was like, you know, it was easy to
|
|
feel like an occupied country because there would be shelling from both sides. But also, I was raised
|
|
in the 60s as a 50s kid. Very, believe it to be verb. Short hair, sports shirt, slacks, polished
|
|
shoes when everybody else had long hair, jeans, t-shirts. I also found out that you could do your own
|
|
thing as long as it looked like the same own thing that the guy to your left and the girl in front
|
|
of you and the one on your right was doing. Being raised as a 50s kid during the 60s or 50s,
|
|
or that I wasn't willing to. I wasn't even willing, just yet.
|
|
Well, kids today don't appreciate things. Well, kids. Yeah.
|
|
I mean, when my, when my grandfather died in some time in the mid 60s,
|
|
actually, my grandmother's house did change.
|
|
When you said, I was just thinking, right, kids today don't appreciate things and I'm kind of
|
|
changing the subject there if I do this, but I was thinking with COVID as well, how all the restaurants
|
|
and everything fun was closed. And people have to suffer, yet people were breaking knockdown,
|
|
bringing their friends over, blah, blah. Now it's all pretty much back to normal, but
|
|
but that kind of got me to appreciate what was really out there a bit as well. Like, yes, I live
|
|
by sit, yes, there's pubs around, but having it shut was like, wow, okay. Well, the interesting
|
|
thing in America is how random stuff was. With what? Some places had locked down some places
|
|
wide open, some places had masks, some places. And like New York City, there were tremendous
|
|
amounts of quite complex regulation evasion systems. In the winter time, they put outside
|
|
shacks, which both didn't have good sanitation and didn't have good ventilation. So your dinner
|
|
parties went into these cubicles that might as well have been a train compartment, which meant
|
|
that if anyone had a disease, it was pretty much sure that it would be passed around inside the
|
|
safety bubble that they were forced to use because you couldn't go into the restaurant itself,
|
|
where they might actually have staff to wife stuff down and to spray stuff down, but outdoors
|
|
in these little bubbles in the street. Wait, bam, bubbles were your family members,
|
|
the ones with friends. Well, they would be family members, but the thing is that they would
|
|
they would be reduced capacity. Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, they did that here as well, the rule of
|
|
six and things. You could be out with like five people, something went really down a bit more,
|
|
but like you can mix with maybe four people from a different household or something.
|
|
Well, the bubbles, the bubbles, things. The thing about it is that if you're someone who has
|
|
symptom, and again, people were eating, so their mask was going up and down like a window shade.
|
|
Well, they're in mass stuff when eating, but the deal is that since you had reduced capacity,
|
|
people, once you were done eating, they would clear the table and I'm not spray the
|
|
chair or something, you know, we're going to say not sanitize, not sanitize anything because
|
|
there's a lot of people willing to take any seat that was empty.
|
|
Yes, some places probably did not follow it properly, those the rules around, even if,
|
|
well, but even that, like, you know, like subway, I've got one round, that's an American sandwich,
|
|
Shane, I'm sure you know what subway is. I've got one round corner, like literally two minutes
|
|
walk away from my lip, pretty much, and for what, and then suddenly they were like, right,
|
|
there's a lockdown, I was like, okay, the Domino's pizza up the road, that can stay from,
|
|
but only for takeaway, for delivery, for delivery, and the subway was closed shut for a bit,
|
|
and the McDonald's was in the shut for a bit, as I figured out, what's doing with COVID and
|
|
social distancing, but I remember when it was like, you're not allowed to sit in and eat
|
|
in a place like subway or takeaway or restaurant, that was like, really?
|
|
And then, and then when, and then suddenly, that was a few months of that, and it was like, I can
|
|
go and get a subway, I can't sit and eat in there. I used to sit and eat in there at times.
|
|
And then when that ease down, I was like, I was like, I was one of the things I celebrated,
|
|
it was like getting freedom back, just just something with basically sitting in the subway
|
|
and eating a sandwich, yeah. Well, also, you couldn't sit down and eat inside where you were
|
|
protected from weather and cold, and things that would possibly accelerate or need to change.
|
|
Yeah, that would have popped to begin with, eating inside is not allowed or drinking inside,
|
|
you can, you can be in the cold and April outside and test the weather and the rain and the
|
|
weather, weather might come in April. But inside, we'll not have to talk about June,
|
|
and then we had a road map here, and it would be like, right, these are the road maps,
|
|
probably that's saying, one, two, three, yeah, let's go back on the sage fall, which was basically
|
|
getting rid of lockdown for the most part. I had to get actually revert that by five weeks,
|
|
and it was like, ah, geez, and I had a calendar as well. I was putting down some of the lockdown
|
|
easing stuff, and my mum saw it and she was like, why you put all this down when there's nothing
|
|
down, but I was like, no, it's about lockdown and the things I get on, and you just hope that
|
|
we're going to get to sage fall, let's get rid of lockdown. And it was, oh, it was a weird time,
|
|
every country had its own, or most countries had their own version of lockdown. I mean, I think on
|
|
the global basis, it was all very, it was mostly similar, from the say America and the UK and
|
|
Canada and all, and places like that, China was being a lot more strict. Australia was very strict,
|
|
no, no, no, yeah, actually China's only just recently opening up again, because they got the
|
|
blame for COVID, and not Australia had a no COVID policy, so they were even blocking the border
|
|
in New Zealand, normally the people from New Zealand would come over to Australia, no problem,
|
|
pretty much, but they were like, no, we're not having COVID, they blocked, they closed their border,
|
|
Sweden didn't lock down, I think there was only country in Europe that didn't actually lock down,
|
|
and they got, they got some flat for that, and I think they admitted that, okay, the deaths were
|
|
a bit higher than they could have been maybe, but they carried on pretty much as normal otherwise,
|
|
whereas every other country in Europe had locked down, basically.
|
|
Well, in America, it was a pretty random depending on your city, population, the number of deaths,
|
|
whether or not your mayor had his head up his ass. Also, my brother and his wife had
|
|
boats of COVID, they were living in a tractor trailer, tractor, they were not,
|
|
there was no way that they could actually isolate them, and then asking these
|
|
things, well, is it asking these down in England a bit more, they decided to have a tear system,
|
|
a tear system, and a tear system, and it was based on the county, so I'm in a place where
|
|
I have a city, like the actual wheel city is basically, I can walk there, I can walk down that
|
|
way, 10 minute, 15 minute walk, I can get down the hill and go that way, when the 1990s all
|
|
joined together, it was the same big massive county, but now it spits up into like three or four,
|
|
like three different counties, basically, and then in this tear system, suddenly it was like,
|
|
hey, why am, is going to be tear free, but the city is tear too, and then it was like, what,
|
|
they were tear free, but then they came to tear too. Now, it was to do it partly on where the
|
|
hospital is, so it's like, oh, your hospital, you have to get into city, what's your COVID
|
|
death rate, infection rate, and it was lost, and that's partly it, and I had to do this tear,
|
|
and I was like, I'm tear free, so my pub, down the corner, and the pubs have to be shut,
|
|
but yet the pubs about 20 minute walk away, they can be opened, and it was just a bit crazy,
|
|
really. Also, I noticed a love bug has appeared in here, and he's also in Britain, so I wonder if
|
|
he could say about his tear system, maybe, because we want that co-creator, she can hear us,
|
|
the love bug, and if he can hear us, hit me. He probably doesn't know how to use his computer.
|
|
I don't know, he's a podcast for me. That's because you probably mapped it wrong key.
|
|
Wait, he did? Yeah, I'm guessing. Go to configure, go to settings, go about four things down to
|
|
where, I forgot what the thing is, and just make sure the key isn't something that you've
|
|
always kept saying, if you're using mumble, 1.341, go to configure, go to settings, go to shortcut,
|
|
choose the shortcut. Well, I said earlier that people were missing, this is this is an example,
|
|
this guy, he is an example of the people we were missing earlier. Now, I've added, I've added
|
|
Glenn in here, he's, he's, well, and I see Sporath, I love you Sporath, happy new year.
|
|
Hello all. Hello. It's too messy. Yeah, yeah. Oh, I got to tell you something,
|
|
we were on YouTube, somebody had a problem with this very fundamentalist, righteous family.
|
|
Well, what they did was they looked in their telephone directory or what have they
|
|
and found all of the local churches, including the Buddhist and Muslim and the more obscure sects,
|
|
and one of the sects that they they were particularly generous with was the Church of Satan.
|
|
So this very pious family suddenly found their mailbox,
|
|
filled with, with stuff from all kinds of, you always say, alternate religion. And of course,
|
|
the letter carriers and everybody else eventually found out these people had been
|
|
generous because as donating to these various exotic religions, the exotic religions would send
|
|
thank you notes. And they would be carried by the local postman who, you know,
|
|
he tended to carry carry the mail and carry tails as well. So this family really got it on the
|
|
trip. It was nonviolent, but effective direction. So I want to introduce Proteus. Of course,
|
|
you want to introduce me while I'm eating a sandwich. Of course, but I mean, like I can see
|
|
and glad that they're not eating. Oh, my God. We threw you under a bus again. Shut up, Karen. Hi.
|
|
As you can see, we all know each other and love each other. Yes, I did not eat all day long.
|
|
My blood sugar dropped really low. So yes, there has been a time when I wasn't
|
|
Karen, you need to go hug him now. Okay. You should feel bad. No, I don't, I don't want to hug.
|
|
No, no, no, no, wait for his blood sugar to come back up. Hopefully fine. I want to hug them.
|
|
So, uh, actually, what I've got to do is, is go out and get some ice water. Otherwise,
|
|
I tend to be falling down sober, which is quite unpleasant.
|
|
I'm saying it needs to take his pills. Yeah, I have a little bit, have a little bit of whiskey
|
|
waiting for me for tonight. I'm drinking some now because Joe or somebody told me. Yeah,
|
|
I recommended it. Yes. Yeah, you did. Yeah, whiskey. I said beer or water and you went whiskey.
|
|
Well, I'd be a bitch. Oh, oh, shots fire. I hope you're drinking it straight.
|
|
Maybe with a bit of ice. I'm drinking it with a little bit of water like this. God's
|
|
splash. No, I bring out the, I have to work in the morning. So I end up having to chase it down
|
|
with like, um, some, uh, powder eight or something like that. I can get dehydrated while rehydrating.
|
|
Hmm. I mean, I've talked the story I'm talking coffee before, but I remember I was in Japan and I went
|
|
to a rare whiskey bar in Nishishinjuku. And I was pretty new to whiskey. I'd buy drunk whiskey,
|
|
but I, you know, I was a good one at the time. So I drunk terrible, crappy whiskey. And I went to
|
|
this whiskey bar and I said to the guy behind the bar, I was like, hey, you know, can you give me
|
|
some recommendations on what I should try? And the guy is like, you know, it's like, I can try.
|
|
My English isn't very good, whatever, but yeah, sure. And I said, okay, so what do you recommend?
|
|
It's like, well, do you prefer, uh, blended whiskeys or do you prefer single molds? And I'm like,
|
|
I think I prefer single molds because I've never really liked scotch and I'm always getting blended
|
|
scotch. He's like, okay, um, do you prefer sort of a clean taste? Do you prefer PT? And I'm like,
|
|
PT, ask me a bunch of questions. And eventually he picks one for me and then he looks at me and says,
|
|
I say, you said, do you want it neater on the rock on the rocks? And I said, well, how do you
|
|
recommend this one? And he looks at me and he goes, well, I can't tell from your accent,
|
|
are you English or American? Well, I'm English, you went, ah, you drink it neat then,
|
|
on the rocks is for pussy Americans. What, it doesn't use stones?
|
|
Don't use anything, they ain't got no stones. An interesting component of whiskey production
|
|
is that they lose a certain amount of the whiskey when they age it in the barrels. What do they do?
|
|
This is called the angiosphere. Everybody wants to say, you know, stuff about cheap alcohol,
|
|
but there's nothing like a cheap vodka. I mean, a nice flavor from the corn mix as opposed to
|
|
how about buckwheat? How about buckwheat and vodka? Because they were toward a
|
|
ban than the UK because of the war, yeah. Oh, no, I just like a good flavorful vodka and you
|
|
don't get that with like, Gregus. I mean, Gregus doesn't have a flavor, but, you know,
|
|
the corn mix does. When you say there's nothing like a cheap vodka I object,
|
|
paint thinner exists. Okay. I was going to say rubbing alcohol, but, sir, yeah.
|
|
Do you guys like apartments? No, no. Why can't you give me a woman? If you want something
|
|
with a truly unique taste, you need to try to find yourself some great wall Chinese vodka.
|
|
Um, I had some, oh gosh, what was it? I had some Captain Jack once and I think it was 2000.
|
|
That stuff is whiskey, sort of. And yes, it fit in the cheap category.
|
|
But it was a great way to, you know, walk around South Korea and get drunk.
|
|
We have another time zone coming up. UTC minus 1 now. Trying to figure out what that was,
|
|
but not sure if this is correct. It could be the Gambia Senegal. I mean, it could be
|
|
pasted in Africa, yeah. Maybe green ones as well, which I think it was saying.
|
|
Well, whatever it is, happy to be here today. I'm in about free minutes, yeah.
|
|
Brandon, I don't drink a whole lot anymore. Actually, if you want cheap vodka now,
|
|
you'll have to add your eggs, like, Kier Scova. But you can usually get it for about,
|
|
it's really good. I mean, on its own, because I kind of like, yes, absolutely. We wanted to add
|
|
like lemon juicers to make it taste like some fancy good. Why would you want to do that?
|
|
Just drink it straight. Well, it's meant to be drink. There is some nice chocolate vodka and stuff.
|
|
Dean, now you're making a fancy. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Well, I accidentally drank a,
|
|
a 750 one night and I can't drink chocolate vodka. Which chocolate vodka is anything?
|
|
I think when you drink one, I drink a fractures gold and there might be one other person in this
|
|
podcast who actually knows what I'm talking about. He's still here.
|
|
Patches gold. I'm assuming you're talking about me because we're from the West Coins,
|
|
right? I haven't had a drink in like four and a half years, so I don't think I'm
|
|
not in this conversation. From the West Coins. That's awesome, dude. I admire
|
|
making a decision and sticking with it. I like my peanut butter flavored whiskey.
|
|
I love that. I drank some of that last night and some of it today. But I got some of it in my hand
|
|
right now. Sport, if don't be offended, but cheers, mate. Yeah, cheers. Hey,
|
|
you know, whiskey sounds amazing. Hey, we got the peanut butter whiskey. Yeah, and I was
|
|
well, I'm an expert peanut butter whiskey. It has to be screwball. Got a bottle of screwball right here.
|
|
Yeah, I've tried one other and it's trash and there was another next to it that looked just as
|
|
trash and now there's a fourth one. I've had some other ones that were actually kind of okay,
|
|
but remember, I like nasty vodka. So take what I say with a grain of salt. No, I disagree.
|
|
Screwball is awesome. Yeah, whatever they before they put the flavor and the sugar into it,
|
|
whatever they make it out of is very, very high quality and or very, very highly filtered because
|
|
they don't put a hangover in that bottle. Well, I'm sure if you dig deep enough, you can find one.
|
|
I'm actually drinking some rebel stoke nut crusher peanut butter whiskey, but I normally do go
|
|
for screwball. Oh, good. How does it compare then? Well, I think I'd prefer the screwball,
|
|
but like the the bottle, I decided to buy this one and in particular because I like the bottle
|
|
and just decided I wanted it, but I it will do in a pinch. Wow, I don't I don't keep bottles
|
|
around that long. That probably says more about me than you, but cool. That's pretty cool,
|
|
but it's it's close then. Well, it's it's smooth. Like I haven't had like the the whole like
|
|
feeling like I'm going to cough or anything. And it's kicking in a little bit, but yeah,
|
|
it's not bad. It's if if it's what is available, I would definitely not stop myself from getting it,
|
|
but if I can get screw ball, then I'll get screw ball. Yeah, I've never not been able to get
|
|
screw ball. That's pretty good saying it's it's basically silver or bronze, but it's not gold
|
|
metal. No, definitely not gold. Screwball was gold for me. Cool. So far here is a go over at MIT
|
|
when I was going to physical luck meeting after the meetings. We would close down and they heard
|
|
over to a local group of and I hadn't had a beer in several years and I just had the usual
|
|
you know light not a light beer, but but you know nothing too dark just just a regular beer.
|
|
Golden beer and especially since I hadn't eaten much, that rare beer had a lot more kick than
|
|
when I was drinking your usual, you know, but light back in that when I was younger.
|
|
Okay, I found the other two peanut butter whiskeys that I like. All smoky is okay. And then there's
|
|
also blind squirrel, which is really good. All right, I will look for blind squirrel then. Cool, thank you.
