<midfavila>
riteo: i accidentally ripped the handle off my moka and now i'm sad
<midfavila>
qwq
<midfavila>
now i have to go back to french press until i can get a new one
<sewn>
what is a moka
<midfavila>
it's sort of like a stovetop espresso machine
<sewn>
what caffeine addiction does to a goat
<midfavila>
QWQ
<midfavila>
i'm gonna get a sturdier one next time
<midfavila>
this happens with like everything i own aa
<sewn>
become money efficient
<sewn>
no coffee
<sewn>
one meal per day
<sewn>
economic
<midfavila>
one of the few luxuries i allow myself is covfefe
<midfavila>
you will not force me to live in a pod and eat the bugs
<midfavila>
:gun:
<kris_>
midfavila another day, another questioning whether or not i should go enlist in the military so i know i'll have a place to live a year from now
<kris_>
fun times we live in
<midfavila>
man i wish our military guaranteed a place to live
<midfavila>
did i mention that the CAF is suggesting new recruits talk to habitat for humanity
<kris_>
it guarantees basically everything, i just don't know if i meet the physical qualifications to join or not
<midfavila>
bc that's happening
<kris_>
and no you didn't, that's nuts
<midfavila>
yeah :D
<midfavila>
they're sending them to food banks too
<midfavila>
and the sally anne for boots
<midfavila>
because the tories sold off all of the DoD's non-market housing
<kris_>
now would be a comedic time for me to join anyway since i wouldnt be surprised if my country ends up at war sooner or later
<midfavila>
it's okay you'll get your chance either way
<midfavila>
they'll just draft you
<kris_>
there's kinda some wild shit happening with my home life at the moment so i'm not sure if it's a good idea or not to do something like kinda commit to 4 years of uni while living here
<kris_>
so, at this point, it's kinda like why *wouldn't* i try to join the military since it's at least a few years of stability
<midfavila>
because then you'll be directly complicit in US imperialism and probably end up extra fucked and then abandoned by VA
<midfavila>
but i appreciate the situation
<kris_>
that's the issue, i don't want to be *complicit* and a part of "defending" this country
<kris_>
but sometimes there's not really another option
<midfavila>
i'd offer to let you crash at my place for a while but
* midfavila
gestures at everything
<midfavila>
maybe check for a hostel or something
<kris_>
i would appreciate someone doing that for me, but i want to emphasize that i keep falling into the pit of staying with someone else for a little while
<kris_>
i need to be self sustaining or fuck off, bluntly
<kris_>
because this is becoming a loop
<midfavila>
that's also fair
<riteo>
midfavila: noooooooo how bad is the ripped handle
<riteo>
like, did the peg fall out or something
<riteo>
or did it snap in half
<riteo>
it can be fixed I'm sure, we have the technology
<midfavila>
the mount for the handle broke
<midfavila>
like there's the handle
<midfavila>
the pin
<midfavila>
and the bit the pin goes through to connect to the handle
<midfavila>
that bit broke on one side
<midfavila>
i'm sure i could glue it back together
<riteo>
yes we have the technology, coffee addiction must continue
<riteo>
I think you might as well get the pin out, reglue everything and put it all back together
<riteo>
I don't think that the pin is stuck in any significant way, a bit like watches
<midfavila>
idk i'll probably just use it without the handle
<midfavila>
i'll cope
<midfavila>
lol
<kris_>
telekenesis
<midfavila>
no i'm just going to wear an oven mitt
<midfavila>
and handle the metal directly
<midfavila>
:v
<kris_>
valid
<midfavila>
but the image is funny
<kris_>
are oven mitts a form of telekenesis?
<kris_>
you're moving an object without actually touching it
<midfavila>
you make a good point
<midfavila>
you know i wonder if there are enamel moka pots
<kris_>
i wish coffee was strong enough for me
<midfavila>
do you use dark roast
<kris_>
like any coffee
<midfavila>
because if so that's your problem
<kris_>
i consume upwards of a gram of caffeine perday on the usual
<midfavila>
those are ROOKIE NUMBERS
<kris_>
plus a shit ton of whatever else comes in energy drinks / mixtures and like 4 packs of cigarettes worth of nicotine daily
* kris_
is zooming
<midfavila>
the nicotine is maybe a concern
<kris_>
if i let myself relax i'm not being productive so
<midfavila>
relaxing is productive
<midfavila>
:3
<kris_>
up to interpretation i suppose
<midfavila>
i'm seeing enamel percolators but i would rather die than use one of those blech
<midfavila>
and nah relaxing is good
<midfavila>
if you work too hard all the time you burn yourself uot
<midfavila>
out*
<midfavila>
and even if you enjoy your work it's still work
<kris_>
when i get burnt out on a project or something i move to another one and then go back later
<kris_>
that's my solution to that
* midfavila
bigshrugs
<kris_>
does any of this actually pay off? no.
<midfavila>
i mean to be fair you *are* in #kisslinux
<kris_>
but today probably isn't the best day for me to go on a rant about that because holy shit i'm having a bad time the past few days
<kris_>
one of those "not sure if i'm genuinely in physical danger right now" types of things
<riteo>
kris_: have you ever tried, like, espresso
<riteo>
real espresso
<kris_>
i have not
<riteo>
my mom found a super duper fancy bean-grinding machine on discount and bought it
<kris_>
i had an aeropress a while ago and made "actual" coffee with that a bunch though
<riteo>
I had to crank it up to MAX to get a good coffee
<kris_>
this is super gamer minded of me but gfuel works the best for me
<riteo>
kris_: if you love coffee you need to try espresso
<kris_>
there's something in it that isn't caffeine that works incredibly well and i'm not sure what it is
<midfavila>
cocaine
<riteo>
That's definitely dark enough for you, at least _real_ italian espresso
<riteo>
southern italian kind
<midfavila>
southern_italian_peter.jpg
<riteo>
I have a friend from the north and they said the best coffee you can find in a pinch comes from a mccafé which is very sad
<midfavila>
ew
<riteo>
I mean it's not that bad it's just like, the average espresso you'd have in a neapolitan bar
<riteo>
and that's the thing, espresso in naples is great everywhere you go pretty much
<midfavila>
the only neapolitan bar i've experienced is the ice cream kind so idk
<riteo>
with a sfogliatella :drool:
<midfavila>
man i should buy some neapolitan ice crema
<midfavila>
cream*
<riteo>
ah is it true that the american ice cream is different from gelato
<midfavila>
yes
<midfavila>
gelato has significantly more fat and less air
<midfavila>
it's much denser and smoother
<midfavila>
ice cream is more of a foam
<midfavila>
but neapolitan is a specific kind of ice cream with like
<riteo>
oh that's interesting
<midfavila>
chocolate and vanilla and strawberry all together
<midfavila>
idk why it's called neapolitan
<midfavila>
but ye
<riteo>
oh I see, I wondered what neapolitan ice cream was
<riteo>
you can actually buy like, tubs of ice cream like that
<riteo>
here
<midfavila>
you can here as well
<midfavila>
:P
<riteo>
that makes sense
<riteo>
> Its English-language name of Neapolitan arose in the late 19th century due to confusion about its origin given Italy's reputation for ice cream[5] or because its colors—originally green (pistachio), white (vanilla) and red (cherry)—matched those of the Italian flag.[6]
<riteo>
reading this is making me really proud of my country
<riteo>
we suck ass at a crapton of stuff
<riteo>
but we absolutely rock at food
<midfavila>
idk you guys did make marinara sauce which is blech
<riteo>
define marinara sauce
<midfavila>
tomato sauce with garlic, onions, basil and oregano
<riteo>
huh
<midfavila>
it's like, what people put on spaghetti or pizza idk
<riteo>
I had a hunch for some reason
<riteo>
basil and onions don't belong there
<midfavila>
i can't do oregano
<midfavila>
it's too like, pungent
<riteo>
it's literally tomato sauce, garlic and oregano
<riteo>
and you put that on a pizza, not spaghetti
<riteo>
well, also add salt and oil obviously
<midfavila>
people put it on spaghetti here
<midfavila>
qw
<midfavila>
qwq
<riteo>
remember
<riteo>
italian cuisine is very, very KISS
<sad_plan>
funny. I was comparing the rk3588 vs my desktop, and my laptop. and my laptop comes out just a tad bit above the rk3588. the rk3588's all cores is somewhat similar to 1 core on my desktop appearntly. this is good news imo. kinda means I can get a reasonably powerfull laptop out of the mnt reform, if I end up buying it
<riteo>
like, also, spaghetti all'amatriciana
<midfavila>
i just eat meat pies and fish and chips
<midfavila>
blokecore diet
<riteo>
it's literally only guanciale, tomato, pecorino, at MOST salt. Not even oil is needed because guanciale renders down into fat
<midfavila>
speaking of which i'm going to go cook some rn
* midfavila
drags riteo into the kitchen
<midfavila>
also yes sad_plan the rk3588 is p good
* riteo
screams with a bottle of olive oil in hand
<sad_plan>
midfavila: yes, it appears so. I wont be buying it from crowdsource any time soon, but maybe next year or something. atleast its good to know what I could reasonably expect in terms of performance. Ive found this to be somewhat difficult in the past. having no references really
<sad_plan>
but now I do
<midfavila>
tbh i still on the imx8mq and it's pretty nice
<midfavila>
i can keep a few dozen firefox tabs open under X running in software mode
<midfavila>
stil super snappy
<midfavila>
runs off the onboard emmc
<sad_plan>
isnt that awefully slow? I recall reading a review of the reform the other day, and I think it used that SoM. maybe I recall incorrectly
<midfavila>
i don't find it to be an issue
<sad_plan>
all good then I suppose
<midfavila>
the only time the reform with an imx8mq is actually slow in my experience has been when i'm playing cataclysm
<midfavila>
if you were gonna play like 3d games or use bloated webcrap then it would be an issue tho
<sad_plan>
I get that. and yeah, it was that exact chip
<midfavila>
this but replace the chassis if possible to fit within the new case
<midfavila>
oop
<midfavila>
new canadian PM incoming
<midfavila>
mark carney just unseated trudeau
<sad_plan>
interesting. Id love to see ortho keeb on the reform though. like the pocket reform. atleast as an option, if anything else
<midfavila>
i think someone modded that
<sad_plan>
dope
<midfavila>
if not you could probably edit the source for the standard keeb pretty easily
<sad_plan>
probably. but I dont have the means to get whats needed. or maybe I do. theres companies that prints pcbs now that I think about it
<midfavila>
there are companies that will print it ye
<midfavila>
stick all your components on it
<sad_plan>
yeah. I would probably have to solder though. which Im not really comfortable to do on such delicate components
<midfavila>
at most you might have to do the switches
<sad_plan>
still too much. I cant solder for shit
<midfavila>
i believe in you
<midfavila>
:3
<midfavila>
dont let your keebs be dreams
<sad_plan>
lol, thanks. but Ill wait anyway. so maybe in the meantime, mnt has decided to give this as an option
<sad_plan>
I do however wanna switch my 60% ducky keeb into a 40% ortho. theres some options for this available, with hotswap switches even. which is just what I want
