[19:34] DaemonFC MinceR, 205.9 F.
[19:35] DaemonFC The Moccamaster gets there on the water coming out of the outlet arm.
[19:35] DaemonFC It probably is 206 even going in.
[19:35] DaemonFC I think this is the first drip machine I've ever had where they bothered to build it and calibrate it right at the factory.
[19:36] MinceR "233.778 Celsius"
[19:36] DaemonFC In Celsius degrees, tenths of a degree matter more.
[19:37] DaemonFC There are 180 Fahrenheit degrees between water freezing and boiling, but only 100 Celsius degrees.
[19:37] DaemonFC Celsius is an awful way to measure temperatures even though you can easily remember a few key points, which you can also do in degrees Fahrenheit.
[19:37] MinceR it's awful, but not as awful as fahrenheit
[19:38] DaemonFC How is that?
[19:38] MinceR the base points of celsius are at least somewhat meaningful
[19:38] MinceR not "i thought this was human body temperature" and "i randomly mixed water with some salt and it freezes at this point"
[19:39] DaemonFC When you start talking Celsius, you're talking barely more than 20 degrees between beach weather and freezing.
[19:39] MinceR Kelvin is preferable though, being an actual unit of measurement, not just some "degree"
[19:39] MinceR if that bothers you, use yoctokelvins
[19:39] DaemonFC When you talk about degrees Fahrenheit I know that 80 is sort of a hot day and 30 is cold and 0 is damned cold.
[19:39] MinceR or even quectokelvins!
[19:40] DaemonFC Celsius just makes people on TV sound smarmy and incomprehensible.
[19:40] MinceR you have 20*10^30 quectokelvins between beach weather and freezing!
[19:40] DaemonFC Which is perhaps why Europeans like it.
[19:40] MinceR no, i've already told you why
[19:40] MinceR 01 203815 <@MinceR> the base points of celsius are at least somewhat meaningful
[19:40] DaemonFC Star Trek "Oh, it's a scorcher on that planet! 30 degrees!
[19:40] DaemonFC And they made the episode in the US, and you're like "God damned motherfuckers.".
[19:41] MinceR yeah, they gave you people too much credit
[19:41] XRevan86 Fahrenheit just makes Usonians on TV sound smarmy and incomprehensible.
[19:41] DaemonFC As long as the measurement is accurate....
[19:43] DaemonFC "oud think that temperature would be something that pretty much the whole world could agree on a universal system for, like telling time." -Reader's Digest
[19:43] DaemonFC We don't agree on that.
[19:43] DaemonFC There's a 24 hour clock that's not widely used here.
[19:43] XRevan86 12 hour clocks are just 24 hour clocks split in two, it's the same thing.
[19:43] DaemonFC I've literally had to use it a couple of times.
[19:43] MinceR 12 hour clocks are unnecessary complexity
[19:44] MinceR so of course many people love them
[19:44] DaemonFC To do medical charting so it would be unambiguous and a time clock at Walmart.
[19:44] DaemonFC You can do 24 hours on a watch dial, but why?
[19:44] MinceR "13 is too big a number for me to handle, so let's just add another bit separately"
[19:44] MinceR "what, there are 60 minutes in an hour? that's fine."
[19:44] XRevan86 MinceR: 24 hour analogue clocks are annoying.
[19:44] DaemonFC You just have to stare at it in the fucking dark that much longer.
[19:44] MinceR all analogue clocks are annoying
[19:44] DaemonFC I know whether it's AM or PM generally.
[19:44] DaemonFC :)
[19:44] XRevan86 12 hour digital clocks are an anachronism.
[19:45] MinceR and then it gets real fucked up
[19:45] DaemonFC "Oh, the sun is out. Must be 1 PM."
[19:45] DaemonFC How does that work?
[19:45] MinceR like how 11 PM is followed by 12 AM and then 1 AM or some ass-backwards shit like that
[19:45] XRevan86 Meanwhile winter here: 5 PM is dark, 5 AM is dark.
[19:46] DaemonFC What's much more important than the 12 hour clock is DST, which they should stop using.
[19:46] DaemonFC They should go to standard time all year.
[19:46] MinceR UTC
[19:46] DaemonFC Why?
[19:46] XRevan86 DST is irrelevant to 12/24 hour clocks.
[19:46] DaemonFC Get a GMT clock if you care what time it is UTC.
[19:46] MinceR afaict GMT is only used in the UK
[19:47] MinceR why would i get a "clock" for a UK-specific time zone?
[19:47] XRevan86 I do like it when Usonians write time when some show airs in local time.
[19:47] DaemonFC They make GMT watches and my Casio can track one time zone on the analog clock and another on the digital display.
[19:51] XRevan86 DaemonFC: I can tell you something counter-intuitive.
[19:51] XRevan86 DaemonFC: 24 hour digital clocks are more compact than 12 hour digital clocks.
[19:51] DaemonFC There's some Rolex GMT Master clones out there that cost a lot less.
[19:51] DaemonFC Hell, Invicta even makes a few.
[19:51] XRevan86 "19:52" takes less space than "7:52 PM"
[19:51] DaemonFC https://smile.amazon.com/Invicta-Diver-Collection-G-M-T-Watch/dp/B000EI4ARM/
[19:51] TR Bot Invicta Men's 9400 Pro Diver Collection G.M.T. Watch : Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry
[19:52] DaemonFC I saw an Invicta that was such a piece of shit that they went to rip off the Rolex GMT Master and they didn't actually put the second hour hand on it because they used the NH35A which doesn't support that.
[19:52] DaemonFC So it has the GMT dial but not the hand.
[19:52] DaemonFC :/
[19:52] DaemonFC But they make a GMT watch with a Quartz movement that really works and it's the same price.
[19:53] DaemonFC https://smile.amazon.com/Invicta-Diver-Collection-G-M-T-Watch/dp/B000EI4ARM/
[19:54] DaemonFC MinceR, They put down Certified Design and not Certified Chronometer like Rolex because nobody has certified this for accurate timekeeping.
[19:54] DaemonFC Which is funny.
[19:54] DaemonFC But it's quartz, so it probably stays working pretty well.
[19:54] DaemonFC Seiko slips them quartz and automatic movements and tells them not to say where it's coming from.
[19:55] MinceR i don't know why anyone would even use a mechanical watch for accurate timekeeping
[19:55] DaemonFC The NH35 isn't horrible as far as that goes.
[19:55] DaemonFC I've had automatic watches that cost more that lost a hell of a lot more than 2-3 seconds per day.
[19:56] DaemonFC This is very good for not being calibrated by anyone and the factory just cranking them out.
[19:56] DaemonFC If you had a human sitting there with a calibrating system, they might be able to get it down to 1-2 seconds a day.
[19:57] XRevan86 DaemonFC: When you talk about degrees Celsius I know that 25 is sort of a hot day and 0 is cold and -15 is damned cold.
[19:57] XRevan86 30 - hot, 35 - very hot, 40 - desert hot
[19:58] DaemonFC -15 F is not "damned cold". It's "Oh look, my arm froze off and shattered on the ground.".
[19:58] DaemonFC :)
[19:58] DaemonFC It gets down colder than that here occasionally.
[19:58] DaemonFC -25 -30 or so
[19:59] XRevan86 DaemonFC: It's good to have decent winter clothing.
[19:59] DaemonFC That hurts. It really hurts. If you spend more than 5 minutes in it, you start getting frostbite.
[19:59] DaemonFC Your car probably won't appreciate it if you try to start it.

[20:19] DaemonFC Fox News liars continued their false reporting by saying that the Illinois SAFE-T Act is "now in effect" and quotes some downstate bumpkin sheriff about the "dangers".
[20:19] DaemonFC However, on December 28th, a Kankakee judge actually struck the law down in three ways, except for some police reforms like body cameras, and the Illinois State Supreme Court has applied the ruling to all 102 counties while it reviews the lower court's ruling.
[20:19] DaemonFC It's never been "in effect" in one square inch of the state.

[21:32] DaemonFC "There is a scientific process to everything in this world, and one of those things is how to get an exceptional cup of drip coffee. You see, first you have to make sure you're brewing it at the right temperature. No more than 206 degrees F or you'll end up burning it and no colder than 200 F or you'll end up with something that tastes progressively more astringent and bitter. Now the coffee here is shit, but this is a police station so you
[21:32] DaemonFC expect that. For just the right cup I recommend a nice Colombian Roast or Single Origin Sumatra. Organic if you got it. And you have to keep the coffee maker very clean and properly descaled or else you're going to end up being off. The measurements are important too, of course, but comes down largely to personal preference. Now, as to the health effects, some perople prefer the tast of a gold permanent filter and it does save money, however
[21:32] DaemonFC there's some evidence that these chemical compounds called terpines make it through in unacceptable amounts, and are known to the state of California to cause cancer and possible reproductive harm, and I find that a nice paper filter, cone shaped, works the best at balancing taste and terpine level, and prevents any stray grounds from leaking into the carafe. And you must also destratify the brew and hold it at the proper temperature when it's
[21:32] DaemonFC done without a burner or you're going to end up burning off all of the flavor and antioxidants in approximately 20 minutes or so."
[21:34] DaemonFC The key is that none of it is relevant and that you maintain a completely calm demeanor while you're saying this until they stop you.
[21:35] DaemonFC Then they decide that they obviously have a nutcase on their hands and they don't want that in their jail because this guy could be trouble, and they let you go.
[21:35] DaemonFC But you also haven't told them anything that could be perceived as a threat.
[21:40] DaemonFC "You see, officer, coffee brewing isn't exactly a science, but there are parts of it that are quite scientific and absolutely reproducible. Time, temperature, measurement, cleanliness to control for off-taste, and the general quality of the input materials, including the water. Some people use purified water but I find that to be too low on the pH scale for my taste. I recommend using a good carbon block filter to remove the nastier tasting
[21:40] DaemonFC contaminants and the stuff that the government doesn't care that it's poisoning us with because bladder cancer at 82 finishes off those Social Security checks and cop pensions anyway, and leave minerals. You can get rid of those later anyway with a good descaling solution every 100 cycles or so.".
[21:41] DaemonFC "When we get to the less scientific parts, we obviously can't control exactly how each batch of coffee will come out due to weather and soil conditions at the growing sites, things like that, but we can speak in terms of averages and overall human taste profile factors within a given confidence interval."
[21:43] DaemonFC "This can get rather subjective, but like psychoacoustic research, we can gather an overall preference profile for the "average" human which accounts for the overall human perception level. See, we all perceive things differently. What you like to eat might make me barf, and vice versa. I might hear things that drive me crazy while I'm trying to sleep that you can't hear at all. It's all relatives man, just like they say in Kentucky."
[21:47] DaemonFC MinceR, I'm considering getting another Pro Diver. Quartz Seiko movement.
[21:47] DaemonFC Amazon is closing them out.
[21:47] DaemonFC Red. 43 mm case.
[21:48] DaemonFC For the cost of getting Seiko movements in Seiko watches, you could buy five Invictas with the same stuff in them by that point. Have a watch for every occasion.
[21:48] DaemonFC schestowitz[TR2], That G Shock uses a weird battery.
[21:48] DaemonFC It's not even listed at Batteries Plus.
[21:49] DaemonFC They usually charge $10 or $15 to change the battery for you. It's not horrific. The batteries themselves at like $5-8 depending on the one you need.
[21:50] DaemonFC MinceR, The analog dials are worse of course by battery life.
[21:51] MinceR and readability
[21:51] MinceR and reliability
[21:51] DaemonFC You're far better off with a solar watch or an automatic if you care about not having to change out the battery a lot and hoping it's still waterproof.
[21:51] DaemonFC You get maybe 3-5 years on a battery in an analog quartz and 10+ on a digital quartz.
[21:51] DaemonFC But analog looks a lot cooler, obviously.
[21:52] DaemonFC So if you like a watch that also looks good on you, you get an analog dial, which is why they still outsell digital watches.
[21:52] DaemonFC But the demand is close between the two.
[21:52] MinceR no, it looks a lot less cool
[21:53] DaemonFC You can easily look and see the time immediately on a digital, but it doesn't pair well with a suit or anything.
[21:53] MinceR good
[21:53] MinceR i don't want to wear a suit either
[21:53] MinceR they're even less practical than analog mechanical watches
[21:55] DaemonFC Mechanicals will never need a battery.
[21:55] DaemonFC That's about the only good thing about them I think./
[21:55] DaemonFC Like everything, it's a trade off.

[21:56] MinceR electronic clocks will never need a mainspring.
[21:56] phanes your mom needs a mainspring
[21:56] MinceR lol
[21:57] phanes kinda pissed at this lsi megaraid card
[21:57] phanes i have 70 TB of media on this machine, it only sees 17 TB, and it wont take the new card
[21:57] phanes wont take the new drive
