You can get quite a bit of stuff done with 10k and 20k tools. The diamond helps with cleaning the messes the reputation-based tools can't, and those are typically rather rare.

@user400654 for me? Thanks!

It's a monkey moderator!

:D

@ShadowWizardWearingMask that might be our thing for brown.

Or does it have to be more...

@Ollie All moderators are monkeys, but not all monkeys are moderators.

Only those with guns.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@gnat OK, thanks.

Ollie

@Shadow yours? :P

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@terdon good days of Tim Post shooting down trolls...

Ollie

@ShadowWizardWearingMask aren't we still doing that?

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@Ollie it already is. ;)

Ollie

2:16 PM

Hmm...

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@Ollie not like Tim

terdon

@JourneymanGeek I do. I was thinking of um, someone whose name I can't remember, whose avatar is a monkey with a gun and whose profile mentions something like what I said above.

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

He had a good gun

@terdon Mr. Post

terdon

Ah, is it Tim?

No, no it's not. It's someone else and I just can't remember the username dammit!

Shadow Wizard Wearing Mask

@Ollie no, my mask is bit small and less blue.

@terdon context?

terdon

@ShadowWizardWearingMask The user's avatar is a monkey with a gun and the user is (or used to be) a mod. Not sure of the site. A geeky one, I think.

Black Hat is holding the root symbol all wrong. You either point the tip downwards to pierce head armor, or hold it by the bent part as a lance you can lean on.

Bloody weather

Tinkeringbell

22 degrees inside here :)

Good luck getting some sleep :)

Mast

27 downstairs, quite some more up.

Tinkeringbell

O.o

What kind of pre-war building are you living in?!

Mast

'28

Tinkeringbell

8:40 PM

Oof

Mast

Yup.

Tinkeringbell

If you want to come sleep on the couch, I could ask my parents XD

They'd probably be sympathetic too ;)

rene

I got roof isolation last month. It works, the heat can't get out.

Mast

Haha

Tinkeringbell

@rene You shouldn't let it in!

rene

8:42 PM

I'm working on that part

Tinkeringbell

Sunscreens and curtains are one of the first things to be installed in front of every window of my new apartment

@rene a lot of people make the mistake of making sure no heat gets out before making sure no heat gets in ;)

rene

I know, I know :/

Mast

Have you tried assisting the heat with getting out, making use of a couple of windows and a ventilator?

Tinkeringbell

If it's not colder outside than inside, don't even think of trying that.

Mast

It is here...

Outside it's probably 26 by now.

Tinkeringbell

8:46 PM

It's still close to 26 outside here, dad wanted to open the windows

Mast

Upstairs it's at least 30

Tinkeringbell

My bedroom was 23

Mast

lol

Tinkeringbell

Silly men.

@Mast yeah, that'd work then XD

Mast

Thinking about spraying the house with water tomorrow, see if that helps.

Tinkeringbell

8:51 PM

I've heard that technically, it should? We've sprayed the roof of the shed a few times to keep our bicycles from melting

Also working: cool wet towels in front of open windows right now, and a fan to blow the colder air in.

A fan + frozen bottle of water are a wonderful thing too

Rubiksmoose

> to keep our bicycles from melting

:O

Tinkeringbell

Keep all windows and curtains closed..

@Rubiksmoose metaphorically

Rubiksmoose

I was about to say. Try not living in a volcano?

ArtOfCode

Doesn't work quite so well when you have a PC kicking out heat... closing the curtains just keeps it all in :P

Rubiksmoose

I hear if you take the PC outside and then spray it with water, it will stop putting out heat!

ArtOfCode

8:54 PM

I have the curtains and window open and a fan pointed out

then block the rest of the window off with a wet towel

Tinkeringbell

@Rubiksmoose poor shed gets the full afternoon sun blast, it easily gets to be 50 degrees in there on exceptionally hot days if we don't take measures

Rubiksmoose

wow. That is super toasty.

Tinkeringbell

@ArtOfCode yeah well... That's karma ;)

Mast

@Tinkeringbell Evaporation requires energy, so it's simple thermodynamics really.

Rubiksmoose

that would be 120 in freedom units apparently.

Mad Scientist

8:56 PM

@ArtOfCode a PC should not be that bad unless you're gaming. But it's certainly not an insignificant amount of heat in most cases

Tinkeringbell

@Rubiksmoose it only happens when it's 33-35 outside. Which really is exceptional here, even though we've hit that for a few days the past few years

Mast

2018 was fun.

Tinkeringbell

Oh, and we often forget to let the heat out of the shed at night by opening the door

ArtOfCode

@MadScientist it's running at 60C right now with very little workload, but yeah... anything more than that and the CPU heats up to ~80 and the GPU kicks in too, and... suddenly most of the 500W from the power supply ends up as heat :)

Mad Scientist

Though I probably should replace one of my monitors that still has a CCFL backlight, that one is very noticeably hotter than a modern monitor

Tinkeringbell

8:57 PM

@Mast tbh 2019 wasn't much worse

Mad Scientist

@ArtOfCode You're almost certainly not drawing anywhere close to 500W

Mast

@Tinkeringbell worse or better?

Tinkeringbell

@Mast yes

Mast

...

ArtOfCode

@MadScientist Not at the moment, no, though if I start actually working it then it runs up to 350-400W

Mast

8:59 PM

I can see you laughing right through my screen.

Mad Scientist

I have a pretty high-end desktop, and it's like 70-80W in idle. I'm not sure about the current upgraded version, but I tested this before I upgraded and even with Furmark I could not get higher than ~350W

@ArtOfCode Are you calculating anything on the GPU? As you really shouldn't be able to hit that with CPU alone

ArtOfCode

@MadScientist yeah, that's with everything running, not CPU alone

Mast

GPU will take a 150 at peak by itself, depending on how heavy it is.

My 1660 Ti peaks at 130-ish.

Mad Scientist

At some point I should measure the power usage of my TV, it's probably quite high as well

Mast

If you know the type or series, the internet may have an estimate.
