[00:34:20] How can i get planes to take off straight? [00:34:37] Balance the planes perfectly [00:35:04] take off stright? [00:35:15] what do you mean? [00:35:17] Landing gear placement? [00:35:37] Also, canards are surprisingly helpful. [00:35:44] What's a canard [00:35:54] control surface int he front of the plane [00:35:55] "An unfounded rumour or story" [00:36:06] you know the rafale or the gripen? [00:36:06] Action: UmbralRaptor duct tapes theholyduck to the front of HotSpicySausage's plane. [00:36:11] this is what i have https://imgur.com/a/k0SL2 [00:36:12] https://i.imgur.com/myQrtu3.jpg [00:36:16] the plane keeps verring off the runway [00:36:19] it's the tiny wings on the nose [00:36:20] wheels should be straight [00:36:27] that's bad alnding gears then [00:36:33] UmbralRaptor: theholyduck ? You sure you didn't want to duct tape me? :) [00:36:39] added another picture [00:36:54] bad landing gears? Fluburtur [00:36:58] Flappy canards [00:37:03] might be bending [00:37:11] I have planes that fly well without sas if you want [00:38:34] Kalpa: well, your nick isn't a punny? [00:38:55] Hey UmbralRaptor [00:39:04] hi? [00:39:11] Got a question for you [00:39:37] UmbralRaptor: Well, they hadn't said anything in a while, meanwhile I was teasing about canards... [00:40:11] hm [00:40:25] ZooNamedGames: okay, ask? [00:40:35] I did, in a IRC PM [00:41:14] I hope you can access that :/ [00:42:05] & yes [00:42:24] I think i fixed my problem [00:42:27] disabled steering and SAS [00:42:33] the reaction wheels [01:50:23] kingsman 2 is pretty good [01:50:32] action scenes still as good and over the top [01:50:45] and Elton John kicking S [01:54:47] https://78.media.tumblr.com/b3d0c28b239f15279d5119d7bb00f3d9/tumblr_nmp1z4yFF41rznn4wo1_500.jpg [02:06:59] glorious [02:37:45] Works [02:41:24] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [03:05:37] https://i.imgur.com/QHt6Buz.jpg [03:40:16] I know it's probably not you type of game, but I've been playing 'Shadow Tatics: Blades of the Shogun' and It's a nice Tatics Real Time Strategy [03:40:21] your* [03:42:07] Action: UmbralRaptor RTS, assumes that there's a bushi rush, or something that dominates at all skill levels below semipro, and remains viable there.

[03:44:50] You have a mission and you need to be remain undetected if you want thinkgs to go smoothly [03:45:28] but it's an overheard view popular with RTS games [03:47:06] http://store.steampowered.com/app/418240/Shadow_Tactics_Blades_of_the_Shogun/ [03:48:52] How can I get RCS to only work for translation and not rotation? [03:48:59] so i don't waste propellant [03:49:45] Action: UmbralRaptor doesn't meet the minimum requirements. [03:50:08] HotSpicySausage: docking mode, maybe? [03:50:47] that sounds uncannily similar to another turn-based strategy game I saw somewhere, but with a different theme [03:51:36] Arcanitor: Commandos? [03:53:06] it was some techno dystopia thing [03:53:31] Invisible, Inc.? [03:53:40] that's the one [03:53:59] We live in one. [03:54:26] ConductingCat: i've already used my political rant allocations for the day [03:54:42] :3 [03:54:56] Politics detected. Purge. Purge. Purge. [03:55:39] Soon we can become Shadowrunners for real. [03:55:49] Treason detected. *ZAP!* [03:55:53] i can argue about one entirely non-political topic before i have to take a long rest [03:56:18] Argue + non-political, this makes no sense [03:56:38] Kalpa: Should pineapple go on pizzas? [03:56:51] Does the price of chocolate frogs count as political? [03:56:58] UmbralRaptor: Absolutely yes. [03:57:05] :D [03:57:11] And this is a highly political topic. [03:57:32] I'm sure there's an ananas pizza party (political party) somewhere in the world [03:58:15] Next up you'll be wondering "What is this ananas he speaks of?" [03:58:22] Well that's what the rest of the world calls pineapple [03:59:41] pineapple only goes on hawaiian pizza [04:00:00] and hawaiian pizza is only acceptable if there is no veggie pizza to be had [04:00:20] Hawaiian Pizza isn't even from Hawaii. It was invented in Toronto [04:00:32] Whatever, there's a pretty common toppings combination here called 'Americano', usually involves 1) ananas 2) blue cheese 3) ham [04:00:53] ... And why is it called that? [04:00:56] ve2dmn: that feels like a line from Canadian Bacon. [04:01:24] Another common (and rather delicious) one is 'Romeo', which is pretty much the same but adds shrimp and replaces ham with salami [04:01:38] Kalpa: 2 should be something like cheddar, and 3 should be bacon. [04:01:40] Hawaiian pizza is a travesty and is the single greatest crime to humanity in all the universes history. [04:01:45] UmbralRaptor: even better: the guy who invented it doesn't even makes his own pizza at home. He buy frozen pizza because he 'made enough already' [04:02:03] Hah! [04:02:13] UmbralRaptor: Anything involving bacon more often than not gets labeled as something 'BBQ', and usually comes with a generic bbq sauce [04:02:23] Of course pizza joints are numerous, and the labeling varies a lot [04:02:47] Kalpa: excuse me while i find my +2 radiant shortsword so i can exterminate this heresy [04:03:55] Bacon is one of the more rare pizza toppings tbh [04:04:43] Your generic pizza joint may have one or two house recipes with bacon, but ofttimes it's just an option when you go full custom pizza [04:04:46] Kalpa: I think anchovies is the rarest where I am [04:04:56] P O L I T I X [04:05:05] Oh yeah certainly not same level of rarity as anchovies [04:05:08] They're virtually non-existent nowadays [04:05:10] (and yes, pineapple pizza should be outlawed) [04:05:27] UmbralRaptor: This will get out of hand, and it's all your own fault. [04:07:07] If I become Grand Poobah of the dominion of earth, I will make consumption and creation of Hawaiian pizza punishable by death. [04:07:19] Death by pineapple juice bath [04:08:03] Does chicken egg go on pizza? [04:08:20] No [04:08:43] At least you have some opinions right! [04:08:56] What about kebab meat? I find kebab meat on pizza a sacrilege. [04:09:13] Theyre not opinion. This is law under the Holy Grand Imperium and Dominion of Terra [04:09:14] Although the subject of what constitutes kebab meat is debatable on itself... [04:09:38] Literally remove kebab from pizza [04:10:20] Darnit is this a Europa Universalis joke... I'm not entirely sure >_> [04:10:23] Pizza beast egg [04:10:27] Only acceptable of it's a Mediterranean "pizza" [04:10:29] Kalpa: that too :P [04:10:59] UmbralRaptor: We are || this close to balkan chat now [04:11:06] Look at what you've done! [04:11:07] Ottoman Pizza, serving the best kebabzza since 1453 [04:12:21] Cant have Balkan chat if Balkan clay kebab clay [04:18:56] was reading a thread from Reddit (about the 90s) and was reminded of https://html5zombo.com/ [04:19:10] (sadly the original Zombo.com required Flash) [04:20:46] Time to visit bash.org [04:20:58] Anything is possible with Zombo " [04:22:21] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [04:22:48] Oh no, the cynephobn is at it again [04:23:53] Finally landed on the mun and return to kerbin with all my realism mods and no quick save [04:23:59] FINALLY [04:25:31] My first mun landing ended in a disaster with a flipped rocket when it was already landed [04:25:34] but it tipped over [04:25:46] where i tried to take off while the rocket was on its side but it exploded [04:26:08] And before that, I messed up the maneuver where i missed the mun [04:31:46] http://bash.org/?653976 [04:48:05] TIL the Rapier can "cruise" at 24k at 1km/s [04:54:51] It's a race -- can my plane reach the waypoint before Advent of Code day four is released [04:55:43] OH YEA that exists [04:59:22] Oh is it around again?

[05:50:41] The next oldest contract I have is extracting ore. I've never actually done that. [05:59:47] any location requirements? [06:00:08] if none just make mining rover and go to nearest place you can mine on kerbal [06:02:11] It's gotta be done on Mun. Will have to look at the wiki to see what a good mining rover is. [06:02:43] lol ok. I still remember that weird ksp bug that allows anyone mine their own fuel tank, filling it. [06:02:58] tank on base I mean [06:13:01] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v mr_flea' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [06:33:39] Rolf: eh? [06:34:22] taniwha: there was this silly bug where guy could build a mining rover, drive to fuel thingy at ksp base, and mine it [06:34:31] it gives infinite fuel [06:35:28] That doesn't sound like a bug, it sounds like a feature. [06:35:47] there's that, but it also sounds incoherent [06:35:51] Especially if selling fuel at that distance is literally zero funds. [06:36:28] Or maybe drilling into the tank should make the tank explode; and take out the drill you're using. [06:36:38] it simply dont work now I think [06:36:39] why would it explode? [06:36:45] fuel, and sparks [06:36:54] Rapid oxidation. [06:36:58] my dad has welded fuel tanks [06:37:07] by filling them with fuel [06:37:24] Welding doesn't cause leaks, quite the opposite. [06:37:42] lots of sparks and heat near fuel and air :P [06:37:52] (fuel due to leak being welded shut) [06:38:45] he had to do that when I was little: my parents were traveling around the Australian outback and got a hole in the fuel tank [06:38:49] Except that the fuel inside cannot burn, because it does not contain oxygen; along with the fact that welding introduces more material, not less. [06:38:58] dad welded it shut while mom kept me at a safe distance [06:39:29] KrazyKrl: that's exactly why the tank did not explode: it was full of fuel instead of a fuel-air mix [06:39:32] It probably wasn't a pressurized, possibly cryogenic, fuel storage. [06:39:49] still wouldn't necessarily explode [06:40:09] Drilling into that spherical tank wouldn't really explode... as much as it would burst, mix with air, and be ignited by the hot drill interface. [06:40:25] it might not burst [06:40:42] yes, balloons do, but not much engineering goes into balloons [06:41:10] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lr15rPHEmeQ [06:41:10] YouTube - Propane Tank Explosion [06:42:14] many many factors [06:42:28] (not saying it's a good idea to go drilling into fuel tanks, though) [06:42:50] saying only that there's no guarantee it will explode [06:43:33] (and since it's a fixed surface installation, it might very well be over-engineered) [08:25:46] Neat propane tank. [08:27:15] Hmm..... would it make more sense to have the pressure relief valve pop open and stay open to fully vent the tank without an explosion? [08:27:21] A rupture disk. [08:28:30] I've always wondered why the tanks blow up when they have relief valves and the answer is the fire weakens the metal and it ruptures below the relief valve pressure. [08:29:18] but but but, jet fuel cannot melt steel [tanks]! [08:29:22] ;) [08:29:30] (doesn't need to) [08:29:56] It would make even more sense to have a temperature sensitive rupture valve like a fire sprinkler. If there is lots of heat, it trips and fully vents the tank resulting in a flamethrower but no explosion. If it isn't at risk of weakening and exploding, the normal pressure valve does all the work from overpressure. [08:31:27] That single relief valve does give you plenty of time to run away. [09:23:17] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [09:40:06] What organization regulates who can land what ships on what planets (IRL) and do they have any enforcement powers? [09:40:24] What is actually stopping Elon from cratering a Tesla into Mars? [09:42:41] the FAA regulates things up to a certain height [09:42:53] but nobody really has any actual power to stop elon from doing it if he wants to [09:43:04] save for someone's military [09:43:15] save for telecommunications :) [09:43:19] who could blow up the rocket on the pad or something [09:43:24] haha [09:43:29] disconnect [09:43:34] them too, but they'd have to get clever about it [09:43:55] and then find a way to still convince spacex to launch their next iridium sat ;) [09:46:59] So there are no fines in place for launching biological payloads to other planets and contaminating them? [09:48:29] well legislation is a thing not set in stone so i'd say one can find oneself in interesting position after doing so [09:55:10] there is the UN's outer space treaty [09:55:21] but I'm not sure if that does anything at all about an independent corporate approach [09:56:30] I wonder how you get a sterilized payload onto the rocket in the first place [09:56:33] without contaminating it [09:57:06] You do your best to ensure the inside is clean then rely on vacuum and cosmic radiation to finish off what's on the outside. [09:57:27] 6 months of irradiating death is not kind to life. [10:54:29] ... and then there's tardigrades [11:05:21] You have to dehydrate them and shield them from direct sunlight. [11:05:35] And then it's like 80% kill rate after .... don't remember the timeline. [11:05:47] The ones exposed to sunlight all died. [11:06:10] unless its a water bear [11:06:19] then it laughs at your pathitic attempt to kill it [11:08:10] that's what we're talking about [11:08:33] oh yes forgot scienfic name of tardigrades lol [11:29:19] They die when exposed to raw sunlight. [11:29:25] There were no survivors. [11:31:19] so they die in raw sunlight eh [11:31:21] interesting [11:32:19] I read a pretty good summary of the study and remember some of it. The ones that lived were exposed to cosmic rays but were in the shade. ~80% death rate. The ones without shade all died. [11:32:53] Behold, the power of Ra [11:33:06] even water bears die by it] [11:33:09] ;( [11:33:12] er ;) [11:42:01] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [12:00:53] F [13:04:01] https://78.media.tumblr.com/0e3331756f53e0a02e4fc41e0ba7b59a/tumblr_oqh6o20UFX1vp2ixso1_400.jpg [13:06:39] https://78.media.tumblr.com/e26fe0687a0435fc9153123c2300010b/tumblr_inline_p039q7Wi8z1t6s5jk_540.jpg [13:09:45] and then he falls over and crushes the display. :D [13:10:03] it's a gopnik he doesn't care [13:10:29] https://78.media.tumblr.com/3e22431a6ba268dc21de9b2afde9e14e/tumblr_nrmnivs7S61tu0z5no1_540.jpg [13:13:43] supreme champion?

[13:51:07] just leading edges [13:51:27] also that cookies box is from last year but my grandma makes cakes and put them in the box [13:52:45] next step is make a hatch and joint the control surfaces and then it will be ready to fly [13:52:47] seems all the mas are the same :D [13:53:04] you could use clear tape to smoothen the surface of the wing [13:53:11] less turbulances means more flight time [13:53:46] but it adds a bit of weight. It's a tradeoff [13:54:02] eh [13:54:16] it looks kinda smooth but it really isn't, it was my first try cutting something that big [13:54:37] so im gonna fly this one until it doesn't fly anymore [13:54:46] and with that battery load it will have too much flight time already [13:55:06] 4400mah, this will fly like an hour [13:55:18] well, time to make a drone out of it. Let it fly on its own. :D [13:55:56] I was thinkign about adding a flight controller for some stabilisation but I realized it would take longer to set it up than it would fly [13:57:28] I'd pack a gyro, an airspeed and a height sensor and a microcontroller [14:18:48] moft flight controllers those day can do all that [14:18:57] they at least pack a 6 axis inertial unit [14:19:02] sometimes a presure sensor [14:19:13] and they can handle a bunch of other sensors [14:25:45] but it's just plugging things together from which you don't know what they're doing :P [14:26:00] eh not a simple [14:26:03] with a microcontroller you can add a GPS module and make it fly waypoints. :D [14:26:12] I also have a gps [14:26:17] but it's hard to make it work [15:16:13] Mat2ch https://youtu.be/HO7VMJ2fVBo [15:16:14] YouTube - Building the Marble Machine at the Speelklok Museum [15:42:20] good morning [16:14:46] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:14:53] Hi!

[20:25:35] Tried to get a vector from a vector, more like [20:26:03] (Forgot to remove ":VECTOR" from an edited expression which used to be a direction) [20:27:19] Man, testing this thing sucks [20:28:19] GOt to launch, wait 2.5 min in game time (more IRL because of lag), switch the vessel to the staged booster, wait 5 min before reentry and only then watch the interesting part (2 - 3 more minutes) [20:29:34] And time warp is not an option, it causes the wildest RCS oscillations and I end up running out of fuel mid-air [20:32:31] ...and another syntax error [20:32:38] Although I have no idea what caused it [20:32:58] Oh, I know what caused it [20:33:22] It's the one I just fixed, for some reason it did not get updated while re-launching :/ [20:33:45] Is there a way to see history in chrome of a specific site? Like blahblah.com/underfolders.html ive been too ? [20:33:51] i never clear history [20:33:56] so should be "somewhere" [20:34:50] There is a menu in the upper right window of Chrome (on Windows, that is). There should be an option like "History" somewhere at the top [20:37:43] yeah but i dont wanna browse through all "today, yesterday " etc [20:37:50] i wanna search for a specific site ive been on. [20:37:54] and see all adresses. [20:39:01] There is a search bar in there, IIRC? [20:39:24] (I mean, a product of Google without search bars? You kidding me? :P) [20:40:17] Ctrl + H it is [20:40:24] That's what I mean [20:44:23] ve2dmn: Humm, have you ever played with the thought of using multiple kOS cores to perform simultaneous tasks asynchronously? I.e. one master core to send commands to the slave cores one at a time, while the slave cores perform scripts depending on the command. Useful for asynchronous attitude control, PID loops, UI things, etc... [20:44:40] Or is there a better way to do this? [20:44:55] I wish. There is a messaging system if I'm not mistaken [20:45:03] There is, yes [20:46:03] Leveller: your google account also has your complete history if you want to search that [20:46:13] It queues up variables either to a vessel or to a specific core, and any given script may get the oldest message of the queue at any time. Messages can be nearly any sort of variable [20:46:36] https://myactivity.google.com/myactivity [20:48:32] Action: APlayer crosses his fingers once more [20:50:41] Nooo! :-( https://imgur.com/GKTHFau [20:50:42] https://i.imgur.com/GKTHFau.png [20:51:28] APlayer: is your code public? [20:51:56] ve2dmn: I have not uploaded it anywhere, but I may pastebin it or something [20:52:23] It's messy, though [20:52:32] I'm busy theses few weeks, I was just curious, but I won't have time to look at it [20:53:01] Was "theses" intentional, or did you mean "these"? [20:53:29] I have lots of shopping to do the next few weeks [20:54:20] Ah, okay. Christmas stuff? [20:54:27] yes [20:54:43] I have Maple Alcohol to buy (as xmas gift) and that thing is in short supply [20:55:33] Wait, let me guess, in Canada you do not drink beer or wine or traditional alcoholic beverages - you drink maple alcohol? [20:55:35] I also have to find an original Gameboy with Pokémon Yellow for my sister [20:56:19] Maple Alhocol is a rare thing. It's a recent addition [20:56:24] It's made like mead [20:56:27] Alright then [20:57:18] Compared to europe, alcohol is not cheap [20:57:48] Depends on what parts of Europe you mean [20:58:32] IIRC alcoholic beverages are extremely expensive in some Scandinavian countries [20:58:42] Define 'expensive' [20:58:50] Let me look up [21:00:55] "Drinks are taxed by content of alcohol, more heavily than in most other countries. The tax on vodka (40%) is 200.56 SEK/litre, on Wine (14%) 22.08 SEK/litre and on beer (4.5%) 6.615 SEK/litre (2007)." according to Wikipedia, "Alcoholic drinks in Sweden" [21:01:26] So... how much for a typical bottle? [21:01:28] Not sure how the currency compares to dollars, but IIRC about 1:20 or so? [21:01:45] 1:10 [21:02:06] ...so the tax on vodka is $20 per litre [21:02:37] ve2dmn: and you can sort "from the beginning of time" on a specific site? [21:03:44] Leveller: probably. It's your entire history if you are logged-in [21:03:54] cool [21:04:02] APlayer: how much for a bottle then? [21:04:24] ve2dmn: No idea, I'm not in Sweden :P [21:05:08] Bcause a typical Bottle of 1.15L is around 40-45 CAD [21:05:10] The alcohol tax alone is $15 per bottle, though, so I guess, what, maybe $20? $25? [21:05:13] (for vodka) [21:05:21] Assuming a 0.75 bottle [21:05:44] A cheap 750ml bottle is 25$ [21:05:52] And USD prices, not sure how USD compares to CAD [21:06:08] CAD is crappy these days [21:06:34] 1:0.75 [21:07:18] So my estimate is about 19 CAD for a bottle of vodka in Sweden [21:07:31] Let me find some random supermarket site and see actual prices [21:07:39] Vodka in QC: https://www.saq.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchDisplay?storeId=20002&catalogId=50000&langId=-2&pageSize=20&beginIndex=0&searchCategory=Entete&searchTerm=vodka [21:07:51] And in Ontario:http://www.lcbo.com/lcbo/search?searchTerm=vodka [21:08:40] Ah, there we go: http://www.globalalcoholprices.com/alcohol_prices/Sweden/ [21:09:10] Canada is actually less than Sweden in that list [21:09:28] I doubt it: Every province has a different price [21:09:42] So a bottle in Alberta might be half the price [21:09:54] so the average is mostly useless [21:12:52] Which is why I was curious as how we compare to the rest of the world [21:13:45] Anyway, Sweden is listed as 33 CAD in that list [21:16:55] Take for example that Jonny Walker Red label bottle: That one is 29.95CAD in QC and in Ontario [21:18:09] but the average for Canada is higher because it's pricier in Vancouver [21:22:34] But there is a wide variety of alcohol made from Maple: https://www.saq.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchDisplay?pageSize=20&searchTerm=maple&catalogId=50000&showOnly=product&beginIndex=0&langId=-1&storeId=20002&categoryIdentifier=&facet=ads_f4_ntk_cs%3A%22Origine%2BQu%25C3%25A9bec%22&title=title-produits-a-l-erable.html [21:22:53] as well as food in general: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_foods_made_from_maple [21:24:34] Argh, why do you Canadians seem to have an obsession with maple things? :P [21:24:56] why not? [21:25:17] Almost like sausages in Germany. Sausages here, sausages there, sausages wherever you look at [21:26:13] APlayer: canadians always try to tell me they arent obsessed with it [21:26:27] and then whenever i go to canada, maple leaves as far as the eye can see [21:26:29] I mean, it's sugar water [21:26:34] ve2dmn: Well, maple syrup and other things are not particularly "conventional" in Europe. It's not bad, it's just interesting [21:27:28] Rokker: it's called "The forest". We didn't put the tree there. They just grow there [21:27:35] LOL [21:28:24] So, in Canada you just use whatever you have on hand in creative ways, and one of the things you have on hand traditionally happened to be the forest? :P [21:28:43] pretty much [21:28:49] You're forgetting something significant [21:29:14] In Sweden, you cannot buy wine or spirits from a random supermarket [21:29:32] You can only buy it from the state-operated monopoly called Systembolaget [21:29:39] Deddly: same here [21:29:45] Norway is more expensive again [21:30:00] See 'SAQ' and 'LCBO' as examples [21:30:02] Action: APlayer lets more knowledgeable people take this over [21:30:07] Norwegians go to Sweden to buy alcohol [21:30:15] Swedes go to Denmark to buy it [21:30:22] Danes go to Germany to get it [21:30:23] ve2dmn: "exmaples"? :P [21:30:38] Well, yeah, Germany is particularly famous for beer [21:30:45] APlayer: other provinces have other things [21:31:12] ve2dmn: That was a pun ;-) [21:31:22] Aplayer, Don't let me take over, I'm going again ;) [21:31:23] (A cheesy one, but whatever) [21:32:01] Actually, I am about to leave as well [21:32:49] Action: APlayer sees no objections [21:32:53] Action: APlayer leaves [21:32:54] sad. You were my distraction from a bad meeting [21:33:03] Action: APlayer sees objections [21:33:07] Action: APlayer returns [21:33:18] Objection!!! [21:33:51] ...so, you're researching alcohol prices during bad meetings? [21:33:55] Nice! :D [21:34:12] They are talking about XML... [21:34:30] And what do they want to do with XML? [21:34:47] I'm thinking about my next move (after work) as well as my Switch [21:35:26] APlayer: something to do with one of the Library Of Congress and/or Canadian Archive library formats [21:36:09] Are you working in some sort of Canadian National Archive IT Department or something? [21:36:16] University [21:36:22] (No idea if this is a thing) [21:36:28] Ah, University makes sense too [21:36:34] The issue is data exchange between researchers [21:36:43] Though I never knew they held meetings at universities [21:36:54] It's like any other job [21:37:25] I work as a sysadmin. And my coworkers are developpers [21:38:40] A University sysadmin? Sounds fun. So, you're basically 1) the fixit guy and 2) the-one-responsible-for-our-bad-internet-guy? [21:38:54] mostly [21:40:15] I don't do networking. I mostly do server management [21:41:08] However, if Canadian stereotypes apply, which they mostly do from my limited experience, they probably are polite and invite you to maple syrup drinks anyway :P [21:42:54] Anyway, as much as I'd like to stay as a distraction for you, I've got to leave now. I may or may not be back in 10 or so minutes, though, depends on the next course of action over here [21:43:33] See you, stay alive until I return [21:53:19] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:53:25] wb [21:54:00] Hey there! :D [21:54:33] So, are you still alive? [21:55:27] Apparently not :-( [21:55:36] F [21:58:20] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:58:27] moslty [21:58:52] Mostly? The limbs are slowly going numb, or what? [21:59:34] XML gives me drain bamage [22:00:18] hehe [22:01:01] Action: ADistraction assumes there are tools to unclog drains around there somewhere [22:01:14] We'll fox you up in no time [22:02:05] How long is the meeting supposed to last? [22:02:07] My day is almost over [22:02:30] That was more dramatic than you might have anticipated [22:02:39] Tomorrow we have a maintenance at 8:00 in the morning. Then entire infrastructure will be down [22:03:25] So I'm mostly thinking about that... not XML [22:04:20] How bad is the anticipated disaster on a Richter magnitude scale? [22:04:30] 2 [22:04:55] our job is long-term important, but short-term 'meh' [22:05:08] Which is more boring then, the meeting or the maintenance? [22:05:19] definitly the meeting [22:05:26] I'm not sure why I'm here [22:05:29] Got it [22:05:47] bamaging your drain, what else could be the reason? [22:05:57] hehe meeting [22:06:16] Also, postponing the inevitable, I.e. shopping for maple alcohol [22:06:23] of course [22:07:08] (I mean, it's the 21st century, you can buy virtually anything on the Internet. But maple alcohol is special) [22:07:11] :P [22:07:13] is this maple alcohol some sort of game item? [22:07:30] Althego: TIL it is some Canada item [22:07:48] maple syrup has sugar in it, so i guess it works [22:07:52] The name is highly suggestive of this fact on its own, but TIL this is even a thing [22:08:45] Also, I hate the weather [22:09:43] The sun was shining literally twice for an hour or so in the last almost two months, and there was rain or snow at least once every two days for this period [22:10:00] Feels like some sort of nuclear winter from the books by now [22:10:22] what, did you move to canada? [22:10:35] luckily i avoided winter there [22:10:49] No, I have not left Germany recently [22:11:09] and i have not entered germany recently, the delight [22:11:21] havent even gone near an airport [22:11:26] But I live in a very literal hole [22:11:40] in the mohole [22:12:08] There is a lot of humidity here and it's surrounded by hilly terrain from all directions, so we are the first to end up in fog or rain or clouds or similar [22:15:55] APlayer: I can't get Alcohol on the internet. It's illegal to ship here [22:15:56] https://www.saq.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchDisplay?pageSize=20&searchTerm=maple&catalogId=50000&showOnly=product&beginIndex=0&langId=-1&storeId=20002&categoryIdentifier=&facet=ads_f4_ntk_cs%3A%22Origine%2BQu%25C3%25A9bec%22&title=title-produits-a-l-erable.html [22:16:29] is this site allowed here (age rating)? [22:16:40] wait... probably not [22:17:23] it's just alcohol: it's the local monopoly [22:17:24] I'd call it on the worse end of a grey zone [22:17:38] ve2dmn: where do you live? [22:17:41] Sounds like sweden as me. [22:17:53] Montréal [22:17:53] No worries, but better try to avoid sending such links [22:18:14] k [22:18:30] ve2dmn: Sweden!! See? It's Sweden with the cruel policies! :P [22:19:11] Ontario, Quebec and New Hamphire does the same [22:19:28] somehow the most vivid image of montreal in my head is the marmots next to the highway [22:19:53] just how can they live there [22:20:00] how they dont die [22:20:04] what do they eat [22:20:09] there is nothing there [22:20:20] Marmot? [22:20:43] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marmot [22:20:58] Not to be confused with the Mammoet.. [22:21:15] yes, marmoset is a monkey [22:22:00] Althego: they eat grass and roots [22:22:42] The racoon are the most well-adapted to city-life. [22:22:59] They simply steal what they can't find the in the garbage [22:23:12] Coons and foxes.. though sadly no foxes in my area. [22:24:07] I saw a brown fox in the university campus. [22:24:46] brown huh? [22:24:58] I think. I don't know the name in English [22:25:57] usually they are red.. no idea why that nursery ryhme calls them brown [22:26:00] stereotypical fox here is called red (because it is a bit like the color of red human hair) [22:27:35] Althego: yes because english had no name for the 'orange-red-beige' colour : https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roux_(couleur) [22:28:04] i am sure people have come up with names for lot of colors [22:28:33] it is just so that i would not use them in any language, because i feel it is not important to have that many labels [22:28:38] silver, which is really black and gray... [22:28:40] Actually... there is an official name: 'Russet' [22:28:42] TIL [22:29:50] hahaha https://i.redd.it/6fl9u5v2h4101.jpg [22:30:12] umm.. polar caps melted huh? [22:31:28] bbl. heading downtown [22:31:45] description says: The KSC after the Kraken spagettified Jeb, causing him to hit the water at 12 times the speed of sound!

[22:34:50] wow, rocket erection mechanism [22:35:05] did not think of that yet [23:11:37] Elon had better send a Tesla up there. [23:11:52] Any further word from him and not a secondary source on if he's doing it? [23:22:05] Blaank: he said if himself [23:22:16] jerk [23:25:46] baby driver is a pretty good movie [23:50:15] https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/acecombat/images/3/35/Xfa36a1xj4.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20071211044937 [23:54:57] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v phroa' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [23:58:36] Someone brought up new Hampshire and alcohol stores -- many of them are located on the perimeter of the state, like hundreds of yards from the border. [23:59:27] Some Massachusetts fraternity kids drove across the border to load up in NH then came back and got busted by the state police. Never heard what happened, but they totally should not have been charged with tax evasion.
