[00:35:08] okay this is driving me insane [01:02:58] Action: UmbralRaptop blinks. [01:16:36] wow [01:16:44] (bwoop) [01:17:38] my one craft has been downloaded off kerbalx 344 times o.o [01:23:28] time to start my game of thrones marathon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7L2PVdrb_8 [01:23:29] YouTube - Official Opening Credits: Game of Thrones (HBO) [01:24:13] i figure if i pace it right, i should be able to go right from season 7 to season 8 [01:31:57] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [01:39:36] hello eriophora [01:46:38] Hello there [01:46:55] how many craft have you uploaded for sharing? [01:47:22] I'm really more of a general lurker than I am an active participant here, honestly. [01:48:09] i will henceforth submit all questions to the Lurker Generals' office ;) [01:48:23] Excellent, my people will contact your people. [01:48:34] "lets do lunch" [01:54:06] im im going to cheat a bunch of stuff into jool orbit [01:54:41] because i put off visiting jool for a livestream, so now it's the only planet with nothing orbiting it [01:58:02] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Distractedman979' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [02:03:56] damn fairing busted half the PV panels -.- [02:50:08] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [03:23:33] Will a speaker driver spliced to a microphone plug work?

[04:12:25] https://twitter.com/MemesSurreal/status/1003354331347869696 [04:12:26] I'll wait https://t.co/ezgIAVLW4Y [04:57:50] eh the launch stream is still live [04:57:57] which means i cant watch the beginning [04:58:24] seems there was no landing anyway [05:02:18] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J5lpZWDfjEM [05:02:18] YouTube - Lego Garden Machine - MOC [05:02:35] could have used that yesterday [05:02:39] planted 60 marigolds [05:28:32] I found THE perfect spot to land an auxillary base on Mun. not far from the main one. [05:48:22] Well that's strange...the TWR of the rocket I chose I took the boosters off, giving it a TWR of 1.13, yet Mechjeb says it's following the launch trajectory PERFECTLY. [06:05:15] so yeah [06:05:49] no wonder my kerbnik 4a is so popular, it has enough delta vee to leave the kerbol system [06:06:44] the rockets not overdesigned, its the mission's requirements that are wrong [06:06:46] :p [06:07:43] https://kerbalx.com/Draconiator/Kerbals-of-Rock-Stage [06:08:04] it's a very robust relay probe, which can give remote operations to a probe controlled craft anywhere in the kerbol system, and can move between bodies if need be [06:09:05] only -real- down side to it, is that the propellant has no refill capability [06:09:20] solid motors or what? [06:09:37] dat rocket exhaust use tho [06:10:01] https://kerbalx.com/transitbiker/kerbnik-4a [06:12:47] there is a deep space specific version of this guy, with the two panel array replaced with the huge ones, giving more flow farther away from kerbol [06:15:00] no way [06:15:18] i may be able to rescue this wayward relay probe [06:15:45] just so happen to be near a transfer stage used on the mongoose 6 [06:17:19] mm... built a nice BAC type passenger craft, though landing gear sorta spindly. all stock. (see a few neat aircraft in kerbalx just got me thinking) [06:21:43] :D [06:29:05] my take on an "echostar" [06:29:26] https://i.imgur.com/nCOjwf2.png [10:35:46] https://twitter.com/apache505f/status/1003498245673213952 [10:35:46] M…FŠÕ¡¤¢’°âÇëkiY‹ˆF\ŠôW_ https://t.co/Ib0uerUzf7 [10:36:08] lol [10:41:15] spitfire? [10:41:26] looks like that to me [10:42:18] or rather cucumber fire as the tweet says [10:47:08] Hello [10:47:35] Nice to see the greeting bot still works [10:48:19] and still completely useless [10:48:54] It's a wip [10:48:59] :P [10:49:28] It confused me the first time [10:49:50] I kept saying hello and it would reply back. [10:50:00] hehe [10:50:29] I'm probably still as stupid as then but oh well. [10:52:21] Is the server quiet or am I missing something? [10:55:29] Gh0sty: everything is fine, citizen [10:55:37] Please do not question your surroundings [10:55:58] Tell us, me, what are the earth's defences against possible invaders? [10:56:40] Nukes and... nukes? [10:56:56] How are these Nukes delivered? Do you gave orbital defences [10:57:33] I'm fairly sure an ICBM can be altered to fire at an oncoming death ship [10:57:47] Fascinating [10:58:02] My intellect or stupidity? [10:58:02] You do not possess magnetically accelerated cannons? [10:58:10] You are a good human [10:58:24] lol [10:58:41] Tell us-- tell me, what is the weakest point on a human male, aged 16-50 earth - sun cycles? [10:58:58] Do you possess exoskeletons? [10:58:59] The eyes. [10:59:05] Non [10:59:09] *none [10:59:17] Action: TheKosmonaut fascination intensifies [11:00:21] Your visual acuity, would you describe it as superior, inferior, or similar to that of a [COLLOSAL SQUID]? [11:00:25] There is an internal skeletal structure surrounded by soft tissue that is often specialised. This is all covered by an epidermis. [11:01:10] Thank you Gh0sty. Tell me, do you *need* water to survive? [11:01:22] Absolutely [11:01:24] We noticed that you have much of it [11:01:38] ~%60 in fact [11:01:39] You wouldn't mind sharing some? Perhaps.. 98% of it [11:03:12] No thank you. There is plenty on the surface. It emits an electromagnetic wave of wavelength 450495nm [11:03:26] Surface of this planet might I add [11:03:41] Action: TheKosmonaut looks to Althego [11:03:45] You. [11:04:16] Would you be opposed to a one-world-government that was run by a superior species of aquatic based life forms? [11:04:32] Let us also suppose we solve all of your problems, all humans will have jobs. [11:04:42] the few that remain :) [11:05:10] Action: TheKosmonaut initiates humor protocol [11:05:16] Ahhhhh hahooohahooo [11:05:52] I believe there would be issues. Some would not want to be run by a dictatorship government. It has failed in human society in the past. Democracy though how broken still works. [11:07:27] are you sure it works? [11:07:40] oh wait this goes to politic [11:08:08] It hasn't caused a revolution yet so... maybe? [11:09:04] i think it would need more than that to work. maybe that the will of most people turn into reality [11:10:52] anyway, the alien kosmonaut was funny and scary at the same time [11:11:33] There would be no revolution. No resistance. [11:11:41] You will love your SQUID Lords [11:12:48] I want our first encounter with aliens to be with a really stupid race of monopedal lump people [11:14:02] Wouldn't that be great? Like... Our exploration of the universe. And these aliens land on earth... Out of the mist is this jiggly fatty with one leg and their only strength is that they're willing to take to long distance spaceflight because they only eat once a year, and perceive time differently than us. [11:14:17] So they can take trips for 10s of thousands of years and not even notice [11:15:50] If we were to be able to slow down our cognitive ability we would be able to experience 10 years in what feels like 10 seconds.

[14:34:17] I wonder how good my english really is sometimes. Could I fool people thinking I'm a native speaker? [14:37:10] I fooled a brit who came to visit.... [14:37:33] he taugh I was a local speaker of English first [14:37:54] He obviously didn't see my typo [14:52:02] hehe, even scott https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjx0KcDH7pQ [14:52:03] YouTube - Satellite Photos Show The True Shape Of The Earth [14:52:39] ... Althego I just linked that... [14:52:46] i wasnt here [14:52:46] Love that title. Can't wait for the conspiracy comments [14:53:16] Action: ve2dmn checks the logs... [14:53:25] doesnt matter [14:53:32] i left the client running [14:53:35] yup you werent... sorry for the useless comment [14:53:37] i typed /wxit [14:53:44] so it didnt quit [14:54:35] anyway... can't wait for the comments. [14:55:08] Reading the comments below the ad for Chris Hadfield's Masterclass video make me want to no live on this planet anymore [14:55:10] top comment: enhance! [14:56:41] Comments about how NASA is a waste, a fraud, and that Chris Hadfield's day in Court is soon. [14:56:52] i hate these people [14:57:04] nasa? it is 0.5% of the us federal budget [14:57:10] so tiny it doesnt matter in fact [14:57:22] I find it interesting that they focus on NASA... while Russia, China, the EU and even private companies on spending money on the same thing [14:57:32] if you want to embezzle billions of dollars, do it with the military budget [14:57:48] never mind nasa cant even send people to low earth orbit [14:58:10] The US Army has a space division completely seperate from NASA if I'm not mistaken [14:58:11] but in typical american fashion they think they are the greatest in everything. no [14:58:23] (or was it the Air force?) [14:59:30] soyuz launch in less than 2 days [15:00:06] Actually, Army, Navy AND air force have space divisions...

[15:02:34] TheKosmonaut: That would require WW3 first [15:02:40] hehe [15:02:50] at least in the st timeline [15:04:55] TheKosmonaut: The canadian Communication Reserves was my backup plan in case I could not find any job [15:05:43] That's about as close as I could get from Starfleet [15:06:43] buy the build your own starfleet starter kit. only 4.99 trillion dollars [15:07:21] Althego: Short Scale Trillions or Long Scale Trillions? [15:07:30] doesnt matter much :) [15:08:03] I'm playing Surviving Mars and there's this 'mysterie' mechanism for end-game content... [15:08:14] One is called 'Beyond Earth' [15:09:05] Where one rich Billionnaire decides to start spending All his money on various projects across the moon, Venus, the asteroids, etc... [15:10:11] Spoiler Alert: he need your help because you have reusable rockets, lower gravity and the willingless to help [15:10:46] planets! https://twitter.com/astrobites/status/1003647879586574343 [15:10:46] Fischer: weve learned a lot about exoplanet population statistics. #aas232 https://t.co/ou2H1rkPFE [15:11:32] ocean worlds? [15:12:01] Of course, half-way through that mystery, there is a plot twist [15:18:22] I just backed an MS-DOS game developpement... [15:18:41] lol [15:18:53] ah good old times [15:18:55] (On kickstarter) [15:19:51] It support CGA/Tandy, VGA and comes on 720k floppies! [15:20:12] lol [15:20:15] at least 1.44 [15:20:39] i never had any 720k disks [15:20:40] The target computer does not supports 1.44 [15:20:54] then they didnt target the correct one [15:21:09] at least dos 5.0 era it was 1.2 and 1.44 [15:21:39] The previous version was for Vic20 and Commodore64 [15:21:51] so it's still close to that era [15:21:52] different era [15:22:02] or even if not era but kind of domain [15:27:12] Althego: it's for computers during the Era before Dos 3.3 [15:27:24] too old [15:27:36] 5.0, 6.22 that was my era [15:27:39] so between 1980 and 1987 [15:28:41] My first IBM compatible ran Dos 3.3 [15:29:51] but the time difference between Dos 3.3 and Dos 5 is barely 4 years [15:34:04] uhhhh what game was it? [15:34:25] Draconiator: Planet X3 [15:39:34] Is MS-DOW actually used anymore besides a nostalgia thing? [15:40:03] aside from industrial control systems? no [15:40:27] hehe [15:40:28] DOS even oops lol [15:40:34] i bet even there dos is rare [15:40:50] but there are a lot of xps :) [15:44:01] Comment on the Scott Video: "This is clearly fake. There is no turtle anywhere.ÿ" [15:44:30] hehe [16:52:13] https://78.media.tumblr.com/dbe03b6b4c9acd6a15e1bf22c17f978f/tumblr_inline_p9ez2qh8PG1ri1qt8_540.png [16:52:46] https://78.media.tumblr.com/dfd2c375be027ec009179c87c5718ff9/tumblr_o1wakdydSs1rsug4po1_540.jpg [16:53:05] lol [16:53:10] i dont want to become a science [16:53:24] turn me into green water [16:56:51] "I want a story about an Italian vampire." [16:57:11] "the only two places practically immune to vampires are texas and italy" [17:02:17] well that kickstarter I mentioned earlier is going well... at least for a DOS game [17:06:31] why? [17:06:56] They already have one backer, probably [17:07:25] Though the one backer might be ve2dmn, if kickstarter counts the person looking at the number. [17:07:28] :P [17:07:50] no, i mean what would make italy so bad for vampires? [17:07:54] 367 backers for about half the goal [17:08:03] Althego: Garlic [17:08:16] stupid, that is a commin thing [17:08:29] Well, so are Vampires [17:08:56] so i mean if they had a problem with garlic, basically europe would be uninhabitable for them [17:09:03] maybe asia is ok [17:09:52] I'd be vulnerable. I hate garlic. [17:10:09] Well... all vampire bats are native to the Americas [17:10:21] apparently they can't go over movign water and near crosses [17:10:29] and can't look at themselves in mirrors [17:10:38] and apparently italian peoples like mirrors a lot [17:10:46] luckily smartphones exist :) [17:11:19] modern vampires can look at themselves in smartphone apps [17:11:22] The mirror thing is: No soul, no reflections. Which is stupid because my cat is in the mirror [17:11:29] lel [17:11:33] nothing has a soul [17:11:38] apparently it works only for precious metals like silver [17:11:51] so technically they can see themselves in aluminium mirrors [17:12:19] Well, silver is considered a disinfectant [17:12:20] Althego: of course not. They all have been claimed by the great Ct'Ter'Tghy [17:13:10] You and I are just robots pretending to be human [17:13:11] Actually, I have been wondering for a while. What's the matter with silver and antibacterial properties? Is it true? [17:13:59] i think it is [17:14:02] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_uses_of_silver [17:14:15] according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_nitrate [17:15:07] "As an oxidant, silver nitrate should be properly stored away from organic compounds." [17:16:31] In humans, it causes argyria. [17:16:57] Which, while not dangerous, is permanent (and ugly) [17:17:09] bluish skin? [17:17:32] yup [17:43:17] Song called 'Rokcets': https://youtu.be/D13FTl8OZ-w?t=34m13s [17:43:25] Rockets* [17:43:47] nice [17:46:26] Can someone tell me which language this is in? It looks Danish: http://jonatanmusik.com/ [17:46:36] (it's the composer of the above song) [17:48:19] Or maybe Norwegian? [17:49:05] google detects swedish [17:51:32] I found a Swede that actually confirmed that [18:28:18] i wonder how ksp would perform on an itanium 8 core system..... [18:28:49] not too well? [18:31:37] why not? [18:31:49] 8 cores at 2.66 ghz? [18:31:55] because single thread performance is the deciding factor [18:32:22] then a xeon would probably be the best choice? [18:32:41] server chips are optimized for multi threaded performance [18:32:50] and expensive :) [18:33:24] that would explain ksp's performance on my mac pro [18:33:57] in theory it has more processing muscle than my girlfriend's much newer computer, but it has xeon cpu's [18:34:12] -.- [18:35:15] two dual core 2.66 number crunchers [18:35:21] 2.66 ghz [18:36:59] this prove is all outa gas going over 8000 m's well beyond any planet [18:37:12] how to get it back.. hmm [18:38:01] Xeon processors use the same technology as core i7, but it takes them longer to release newer revisions because they have to do more work to verify the CPU and the server performance features [18:38:37] well i cannot afford a newer mac pro anyway [18:38:43] for single-thread performance (unless you're a high-frequency trading firm with tons of $$$ to drop), your best bet is a core i7-*700k (currently, the 8700k) and to overclock it. [18:41:21] buys a netbook w/ atom cpu [18:41:30] kas for days [18:41:34] ksp* [18:41:48] hehe [18:41:48] no really thats how long it'd take for the title screen to load [18:44:24] I think above 2 cores KSP doesn't use the extra CPU for anything [18:44:58] so turns out that there is a way to hack the 1.1 mac pro to enable updating of the cpu's used [18:45:17] This kills the waranty [18:45:53] its 12 years old brah, what warranty is left is surely expired [18:46:36] on the up side, it does play UT2k4 really well [18:47:25] i'm actually not sure ive ever played ksp on that thing [18:47:59] i have tried on my macbook, but the macbook's cpu is a core 2 duo [18:49:59] which is not at all in the same league [18:57:00] flat earther used to be a joke about how domb somebody is. now it is reversed, the real dumb people crawled out of their holes and became flat earthers [18:57:50] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v RyanKnack' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [18:58:22] (watched 2 hours of non sequitur with flat earthers) [18:58:37] non sequitur?

[19:15:31] Althego: I am much more familiar with these titles: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epyx [19:16:30] yes, some gems are among these too [19:17:20] some wine bar i blasted for being another example of too many alcohol based establihsments in my town sent me an invitation to a pre-oening event invite only [19:17:43] i wonder if this was accidental or some idot's idea of a bad joke [19:17:59] so, do you attend?

War decides who's left. [20:56:13] I think I just saw an owl [20:56:28] I don't think there are any owls in KSP [21:05:10] Fluburtur: what kind? [21:05:17] idk, flew away [21:05:23] looked a bit brown [21:05:36] was it bringing a letter? [21:06:03] probably not [21:06:07] or not for me at least [21:06:36] You're a wizard Fluburturry [21:08:15] Fluburtur: reminds me of https://www.theguardian.com/environment/video/2016/jan/08/snowy-owl-photo-flight-cctv-montreal-canada-video [21:11:10] nice [21:19:29] There's an owl or two who lives near our house, but we only hear them. I haven't actually seen them. [21:19:48] Help needed. [21:19:52] I've made a video. Set to ragtime music, it covers a Jool-5 mission in three minutes. I think it's rather more entertaining than your everyday challenge submission. [21:21:10] halcyon_b: did I ever tell you that everytime I see your nick, I think of Halcyon 6? [21:21:19] Not sure about the title, though. "Jool-5 in three minutes" is both bland and click-baity, I don't like it. [21:22:12] ve2dmn: yeah, everytime I see / play Halcyon 6, I get weirdly territorial [21:22:59] did you... 'embrace the suck' ? [21:23:35] I've written five novels, and none of them are any good. My whole life is about 'embracing the suck'. [21:29:54] but that being said, I'm not proud of it, but I don't think I've managed to play through more than four hours on a single instance of Halc 6. I usually lose all my ships before that and call it a day [21:46:30] i've been so out of it that i forgot to watch wwdc18 -.- [21:50:16] im editing the videos from the fpv formation flying we did a few weeks back [21:50:28] my 600mm wing is much faaster than the 1.2m one [21:51:27] despite being my smallest plane it is theorically my best [21:56:49] you should make an RC ultralight :D [21:57:00] guess I could [21:57:17] I wanted to make a rc plane from a kite [21:59:59] wingtip electric props with variable pitch, hook, and wheels with retractable skids, and instead of a passenger and fuel, it'd be batteries and radios [22:02:30] wow this lil relay probe's AP speed is going to be really low [22:03:14] only 168 m/s [22:09:53] Any pics? [22:35:55]
