00:15 <Schism|Adagio> Cepheid: Have you ever seen a heatsink and fan caked on by pure ... grime?
00:15 <Ali> Cat, if I fits I sits
00:15 <Cepheid> Yes.
00:15 <Schism|Adagio> I should have cleaned this a long time ago.
00:16 <Cepheid> Humidity, combined with other factors, such as, amazingly, smoking, can cause a buildup of grime in computers
00:18 <Schism|Adagio> Who would have thought that an incredible creator of dust and ash could cause grime buildup.
00:19 * Ali rolls around, ponders if she wants to muck with Factorio server or something else.
00:21 <Ali> Cepheid, would you like to resume the Factorio building? If not that's fine, I can just go over to Surviving Mars and try that game some more. Man I'd like to get something going in that game as well that doesn't seem to fold over.
00:22 <Cepheid> Not tonight. I already took my meds. Tomorrow, for a bit, sure.
00:22 <Ali> Kay

00:57 * Schism|Adagio sighs, FINALLY regreases his CPU.
01:00 <Schism|Adagio> Okay. Let's see how this does...
01:02 <Schism|Adagio> Also gave Nocturne a deep cleaning. Hopefully this will be of some assistance.

01:18 <PinkieShy> You know its weird that something as what happened to me yesterday was enough to beat a new fear into me..
01:18 <Schism|Adagio> Okay. See, seeing the CPU go back down to 35C makes me feel a bit better.
01:19 <PinkieShy> But just means i have to overcome it and let that fear know it has no Dominion over me
01:20 <Schism|Adagio> Fear is the mind-killer.
01:21 <Schism|Adagio> Let's see if THIS actually works now... freakin' heck, if I just needed to regrease the chip, I'll be annoyed.

01:24 * PrincessRainbows giggles
01:28 <Schism> Well, it hasn't completely shut down yet, so I'll take that as a temporary positive.
01:29 <PinkieShy> Schism this fear though is just a little lol
01:29 <PinkieShy> I got cut by a razor blade.. My fear is it will happen all the time now.. But Knowledge is a bit power being I used these type since August 2019 and never got cut on my finger.. so
01:30 <Schism> Knowledge does tend to be the antidote to fear.
01:33 <Schism> Now, what do you take away from that experience, PinkieShy?
01:34 <PinkieShy> That it was painful and i should have listened to my doctor a few months ago about the Tetanus shot.. I mean i got that shot today but still.. should have listened ahead of time lol
01:35 <Schism> Heh. Not what I was hoping you would have taken away from that.
01:35 * PrincessRainbows boops a Jackie and makes tiny horse noises

01:36 <Schism> Never use a defective tool -- and a tool is only dangerous in the hands of someone who doesn't know how to use it.
01:37 <PinkieShy> Schism the tool wasn't defective.. I had to remove the double edge blade to toss it in the blade bank thing
01:37 <PinkieShy> I had gotten cut in that process..
01:38 <Lumindia> sometimes I get cut with blades that are SUPER sharp, and don't notice until minutes later when there's blood running down my hand
01:38 <Lumindia> I'm like "Oh, there's blood, is that mine?"... a few seconds later, it starts actually hurting
01:38 <Schism> pinkieShy: Ah. So you didn't know how to handle the razor blade.
01:38 <Schism> Once you've learned to deal with that, you can deal with your fear. <.<
01:38 <PinkieShy> I know to handle it by the tabs that are dull and not sharp..
01:39 <PinkieShy> But some how freak accident happened :P
01:39 <Schism> Like a chipped tab? :P
01:39 <Schism> There's another lesson for ya. Always look at your tool before you use it.
01:40 <Schism> If you notice any inconsistencies or worrying points, just discard it.
01:40 <Schism> This is how you don't wind up with a giant gash in your right hand that slices through four tendons.
01:44 <PinkieShy> I have to say.. My thumb will more than likely 8/10 chance will scar from this..
01:47 <Schism> Eh. Scars are life experiences.

13:30 * PrincessRainbows makes sad little horse noises and looks up with tears in her eyes
13:30 <Cepheid> Hulooo
13:30 <Cepheid> How goes it?
13:33 <ConfusionRift> Just watching some videos. Food for thought... or maybe too many ideas for absolutely nothing.
13:36 <Cepheid> Aaaand I just crushed my soul again. There is a follow-up video to one I watched yesterday that crushed my soul.
13:37 * PrincessRainbows yawns and curls up in her bed again
13:38 <ConfusionRift> Ooooh.
13:39 <Cepheid> Well, it at least had a happy ending.
13:44 <Cepheid> Basic gist: Feral kitten was discovered waiting for his cat friend/protector to wake up. Unfortunately, said cat had passed on due to renal failure and liver damage. Vets rescued the kitten, and it survived. The follow-up basically recapped and then explained how this one family took the kitten in to live with their male cat, and after some time, the two started to get along.
13:49 <Cepheid> https://twitter.com/GAMusic6/status/1230839843145433088?s=19 Fun test. Turn your audio off, watch this, and tell me what song you think it is based on the note lines.
13:53 <Cepheid> Schism would likely be able to guess it. The background is a good hint, too. Assuming you played the relevant FF game.
13:54 <ConfusionRift> I... don't know, much less since I don't play FF.
13:54 <ConfusionRift> Wait... those peaks...
13:54 <ConfusionRift> It can't be the FF startup theme.
13:55 <ConfusionRift> The piano piece?
13:55 <ConfusionRift> It might be. Hmmm. I give up. Let's see.
13:55 <Cepheid> Since I want Schism to do the test..
13:56 <ConfusionRift> Okay, i recognize the song. It's [data purged].

13:57 <Cepheid> Meanwhile when I saw the post, I had my audio muted, but still recognized it. Hence where I got the test idea.
13:58 <Cepheid> I mostly recognized it because somehow, my brain was able to look at the lines and ESTIMATE WHAT THEY WOULD SOUND LIKE WHAT THE HELL!?
13:58 *** Quits: RazorSharpFang (RazorSharpF@Pony-o7liud.tpgi.com.au) (Connection closed)
13:59 <Cepheid> I don't even... I'm not a musician. How did my brain do that?
13:59 <ConfusionRift> That's a doable thing, even with no music background of form of study.
14:00 <Cepheid> Even so that is distressing as hell. Why do I seem to have some sort of affinity for music, when I spent a little under half my life nearly deaf?
14:01 *** Joins: Taoki (MirceaKitsu@Pony-7ul.gjo.113.93.IP)
14:02 <ConfusionRift> Also, you probably pieced other things together. The background? Hmm. A song that elevates, to midrange, climb and then lowers? Hmm. Solid hits in between? Actually, that one's not a marker, since there are so many songs in the series that do that. Still.
14:04 <Cepheid> The breaking point for me was after the opening. Where the red lines do that short-medium-short switch periodfically.
14:04 <Cepheid> Once my brain started humming those bits, it connected the dots almost immediately.
14:05 <Cepheid> They are, aside from the opening, one of the most distinct traits of the song, for me.
14:06 <ConfusionRift> Have done that before. not in a really long time though.
14:06 <ConfusionRift> My memory has been an absolute garbage.
14:07 <Cepheid> Truth told, my brain and music are... Interesting.
14:08 <ConfusionRift> Then again, have been having this ear worm for a long time as well.
14:08 <Cepheid> My brain can play back instrumentals of songs at varying rates. Can't remember lyrics though. Those are usually translated into instruments with appropriate tone, pitch and frequency.
14:10 <Cepheid> My brain can also pick out even the slightest bit of inconsistency, be it an off-tone note, a missing instrument, or even a slight timing difference.
14:11 <Cepheid> Strangely, none of this translates to voices what-so-ever. I regularly encounter cases where I cannot differentiate between two or more voices.
14:12 <Cepheid> I encounter a lot of male Americans who I fgind sound a
14:12 <Cepheid> Almost identical. Down to the accent.
14:13 <Cepheid> Women, not as frequently.
14:15 <Cepheid> My hearing isn't suited for voices, it seems. I actually wonder if all of this is caused by having been hearing impaired. I know I rely on auditory and visual cues to tell me when someone is speaking, or what they are saying.
14:17 <Cepheid> That said my subconscious may have played into it. I recognize the background of that video now.
14:18 <Cepheid> It's the southern entrance to the big bridge.
14:20 * ConfusionRift checks a video.
14:20 <ConfusionRift> It's literally the entrance to the bridge. :P

15:03 <Cepheid> Least this sucker's easier to open than a DS lite. That thing was a PAIN IN THE REAR.
15:03 <Cepheid> Thing has seen better days.
15:05 <Cepheid> Screen was easier to disconnect as well.
15:06 <Cepheid> If you're wondering why I'm disassembling my GBA SP, I want to salvage some parts off of it. Primarily the power connector.
15:07 <Cepheid> Which might be a bit hard to do.
15:07 <Cepheid> I'd need to desolder four pins, bend them, and then desolder two more pins, then desolder the entire assembly from the board.
15:08 <Cepheid> I'd probably be better off just soldering wires to the GBA SP power adapter connector, or even just cutting the cord.
15:09 <Cepheid> Too late now, though. I've completely disassembled it, damaging the casing plastics in the process a bit.
15:10 <Cepheid> Out of it, it looks like I gooooottt...
15:11 <Cepheid> Screen, power connector off the mainboard, and a GBA socket.
15:11 <Cepheid> Also a speaker.
15:11 <Cepheid> Maybe some variable switches too, from the looks of it.
15:13 <Cepheid> All that remains at this point is disassembling the enclosure of the screen, so I can get a better idea as to what kind of screen it is, and then get the proper pinout for it.
15:14 * Finwe noms on Sergey Rakhmaninov's piano concerto 2 in c minor, Op. 18.
15:14 <Cepheid> 34 pins, so...
15:14 <Cepheid> Probably one of the newer screens.
15:16 <Cepheid> Now I just need to find my soldering iron. I'd prefer a desoldering iron, but I don't have one. o3o
15:16 <Cepheid> And they're expensive. o3o
15:19 <Cepheid> Well that was easy to disassemble. GBA SP screen enclosure is screwed together, not held together by clips like the NDS lite top screen was.
15:21 <Cepheid> Huh. So that's how the GBA-vs-GB/GBC detection worked.
15:21 <Cepheid> There's a switch in the socket that's pushed down. Probably when a cartridge of one type or another is put in.

17:24 <PrincessRainbows> eek!
17:25 <Cepheid> I know the port works. I can get it to recognize the card momentarily as I move it around, so it's likely just extremely dirty contacts.

20:36 <PinkieShy> I went out in like 40F to get the mail with 2 hoodies on..
20:36 <PinkieShy> The cold just that bad today..
20:38 <Ali> 40F? That's only one jacket :P
20:38 <PinkieShy> Wind Chill is what makes it worse though.
20:39 <Schism> 40F is barely a sweater!
20:39 <PinkieShy> 35F so.. Go figure.
20:39 <Schism> But yes. >> Wind chill is terribad.
20:39 <PinkieShy> I mean it can be pretty bad esp when your body started to adjust to the warmer temperatures (I'm guessing) As it was like 84 a week or two ago
20:42 <Schism> Bah. You people in warmer climates. It's -1 right now and perfectly all right. High of a staggeringly warm 3 degrees tomorrow!
20:42 <Schism> And then 5 degrees on Sunday. That's t-shirt weather.
20:49 <PinkieShy> I saw a Canadian license plate the other day when at walmart.
20:58 <Schism> And sometimes I see Floridan license plates up here. o3o

22:26 <Schism> Well, that is an obvious one.

22:32 <Cepheid> I was surprised when I figured it out without audio. Something tells me the subconscious helps with the background, though.
22:33 <PrincessRainbows> I have created evil... like the kind that requires you to add a liability waiver
22:34 * PrincessRainbows hides under Ali from shame
22:36 <Cepheid> Good. Was a tad worried there. Thought I was coughing up blood, but no, it wasn't from my lungs.
22:38 <Ali> What chu coughin up blood for?
22:39 <Cepheid> I'm not, thankfully. I have some sort of persistent lung infection.
22:39 <Cepheid> It's not going away despite antibiotics.
22:51 <Cepheid> I'm kinda annoyed. My CT scan was done on February 4th, and the doctor still hasn't gotten the results.
22:53 <Ali> That is annoyingly slow
