[00:19:42] "terrible" according to the video description [00:19:52] no mods, either [00:20:03] I haven't watched it yet [00:26:27] doesn't look that terrible (for the first launch) [02:56:23] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Althego' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [05:57:50] https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1379055622042353667 [07:28:37] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [10:11:56] Althego: without burning cables hopefully. :D [10:13:05] what, it is past noon and no tinfoil tuesday from scimandan? the day is ruined [11:35:42] 1337 [11:36:25] nice, you got it [11:36:30] :) [11:36:35] i would have missed it [11:36:44] too late now [11:58:17] zombanwa [11:58:34] it wasnt even time yet [11:58:42] !tim [11:58:43] !time [11:58:43] Althego => 14:00:01 CEST on 2021-04-06 Tuesday CW 14 [12:34:24] kikkerikii [12:34:31] was kind of sad sounding [12:35:45] 1337 [12:36:04] That hour didn't last long. [12:37:10] rolling leet [12:37:21] ideally we should be able to have oine every hour [12:44:02] or even more, because there are the funky timezones [12:48:24] I doubt we have one from every TZ here. [13:03:47] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD4RXrI0ZWU Maybe the gods are happy now. :D [13:06:08] hah új action [13:06:11] hónapok óta nem volt kapása [13:06:31] de kitartóan ment tovább [13:06:48] mióta megemelték a hidat sokkal kevesebben akadnak meg [13:38:51] oh wait i was here [13:39:18] anyway what i wanted to say is that no new action happened there for months, because the frequency of incidents went down since the bridge was raised [13:40:18] Yeah, boring. [13:40:24] We should lower that bride. [13:40:27] *bridge [13:42:34] supposedly there are other similar bridges in the area [13:43:16] you talking about the 11foot8 bridge? [13:43:20] yes [13:43:41] they raised it? I thought they couldn't raise it cause the RR company didn't want to play ball [13:43:58] i know it from the same channel [13:44:08] he covered the process [13:44:42] it is even in the titles now 11foot8+8 bridge [13:44:42] Maybe put some steel plates just above the sewer pipes to lower the ground. [13:46:25] i think that is what they did [13:46:33] plus the new base for the tracks [13:46:37] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPt4ijPFzc8 [14:49:14] so, uh, doesn't kikkerikii mean that kiara is actually an unusually flammable chicken? [14:52:40] just this stream she was upset about firechicken [14:52:43] not about hot wings [14:52:59] just as reine doesnt like turkey :) [14:53:37] she also mentioned in the past that she saw that farming game streams and everybody named the chickesn kiara :) [14:53:49] and didnt like that [15:42:10] nose blowing asmr... [15:44:42] I landed my ore transporter on Minmus, filled it up with the rolling refinery, drove the refinery out of the way in a curve, tilted and broke a Gigantor :(. [15:47:43] gigantor, also known as phuket word (a flat earther) [15:53:34] phuket despite how it sounds, is an area in thailand [16:00:13] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:00:40] has the drought situation gotten any better? [16:01:47] i heard about some drought in asia that is so bad that all water is needed for people, so semiconductor production is in danger [16:02:00] thats the one I was referring too [16:04:29] darsie: you can repair them now! [16:05:25] I loaded the previous state. [16:05:33] Haven't thought of repair. [16:09:58] Always pack an engineer and some repair packs ;) [16:17:00] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:22:05] Last message repeated 2 time(s).

[16:57:02] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:57:38] perfectly fin [16:57:38] e [16:57:52] the importance of mission critical redundancies [16:57:58] :) [17:24:41] woot, managed to bring my mobile research lab on wheels back into orbit [17:25:03] noice! [17:58:16] what is this, a spacecraft for fish? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1_bkuWCmO4 [18:04:16] well, it swims. [18:09:32] Action: darsie didn't have quite enough dv to get into a 30/25 Mm retro orbit with a sat, so I launched prograde and did a bielliptic transfer :). [18:10:07] hehe [18:10:15] if you have the time [18:10:24] I didn't check :). [18:10:29] Usually it's years. [18:10:53] It's about half way between Mun and Minmus. [18:10:58] was it in pop t2t? when you went into the menu you heard the empress saying: i have all the time in the world [18:12:25] 277 m/s left. [18:12:57] way more than needed :) [18:17:47] point your video players to this: https://media.startrek.com/2021/04/05/1881506371659/685537_hls/master.m3u8 [18:17:49] :D [18:18:57] oh wait it is a playlist [18:19:59] apparently General Fusion is going to build a demo plant [18:22:00] Althego: that's why I said you should give it your media player :) [18:22:07] right next to major glory? [18:22:16] umaxtu: when, where and how long are they going to take? [18:22:24] fusion plant? [18:23:01] Althego, yup [18:23:35] Mat2ch, they seem to have announced a contract with an architecture firm back in November when we were all distracted with other stuff [18:24:12] not much else in the way of details other then this concept video they just released. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRk9Ud4egmo [18:24:50] ah this is the piston thing [18:25:23] this seems to bee too simple to be true [18:25:47] but there was so much research on the tokamak and it is stilln ot ready. maybe the tesselator is going to work [18:26:28] in concept, it doesn't seem that much more complicated then an ICE [18:27:31] nice concept, now lets get to all the problems they will run into. :D [18:27:34] ICE is complicated :) https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8445 [18:27:48] ha ha ha [18:28:23] there will be problems for sure. but they have been working away at this for a while now [18:28:29] yes these complicated problems you dont know of before trying to build it. that is what kept fusion from happening [18:28:52] I wish them success [18:28:58] me too [18:29:01] i want fusion [18:29:11] but the pistons need to be lubricated somehow [18:29:15] because people are too afraid of nuclear [18:29:24] so they posion themselves with coal plants [18:29:25] the lubricant will thin out the liquid metal [18:29:40] i guess you could filter these out [18:29:47] or the lubricant will float on top anyway [18:30:47] it's not about coal vs. nuclear planets. This is a typical trick to distract from the fact that we need real clean power. And we could already have it if we weren't fighting over coal vs. nuclear. [18:31:06] the lubricant will be some kind of oil and burn in the reactor [18:31:11] the timing has to be right [18:31:31] the liquid metal bubble needs to be a bubble otherwise the fusion will go everywhere and destroy the reactor [18:32:05] it is still using steam/heat not a way that generates electrons [18:32:07] that is probably hard but not that much [18:32:25] nice idea, probably wont work... [18:32:27] unfortunately we cant reallyget around the steam phase [18:32:44] each of these reactors always produces heat [18:32:57] so we ultimately end up with a turbine [18:33:18] I guess it has something to do with the engineers behind it. They know steam turbines and think it's a good idea to build on top of it [18:33:34] what else would you do? [18:33:47] Well, having a vision helps [18:34:01] just "let's do fusion and make heat from it" is not a vision [18:34:04] what physical effect would you exploit? [18:34:23] since fusion does not really exist, i think it as a vision [18:34:37] in the interim we should be on nuclear. for the last 50 years at least [18:34:58] https://lppfusion.com/technology/fusion-energy-generator/ [18:35:29] nuclear fusion is neither clean, nor CO2 free and then there is still the storage problem. [18:35:42] we could have wind and solar power for the world by now. [18:35:44] you have to build the plant and maintian it that is true [18:35:49] With molten salt systems [18:35:51] no you cant [18:35:54] we could. [18:35:57] without large scale scalable storage [18:36:01] Molten salt. [18:36:16] we have pumped storage, but you cant put that everywhere, it needs specific locations [18:36:22] yes molten salt is nice [18:36:25] we should have more of that [18:36:30] How often do I have to say molten salt again? ;) [18:36:43] The peak energy is when the sun is up [18:36:57] so most of the energy provided by solar is used right away [18:37:00] traditional solar and wind is just too unreliable, you camnt adapt to needs [18:37:09] btw molten salt also uses the usual steam thing [18:37:09] wind is not unreliable [18:37:13] that's a myth [18:37:14] not a vision :) [18:37:52] molten salt is a very old technology, it is allowed to use steam. :D [18:38:05] But if you want to think ahead then you would be working on a fusion generator that works in space. [18:40:23] epstein drive :) [19:43:37] cruising at a leisurely 800c still takes ages just to get to the second star in a binary... [19:44:08] the commander doesn't really look happy https://formularfetischisten.de/~packbart/temp/ed3a.jpg (not KSP ;) [19:44:22] ah elite [19:44:23] I even bought him a new toy https://formularfetischisten.de/~packbart/temp/ed3b.jpg [19:44:26] that face [19:44:36] he is just like, oh i cant take this anymore [19:44:52] he isn't even out of the newbie sector yet [19:46:36] Althego: the face we all have currently. Except a few people who live in countries that value science... [19:46:48] why [19:46:52] i enjoyed 2020 [19:46:58] work was never so comfrtable [19:47:19] an since thi is our second year, maybe companies realize you dont have to be contantly in the office [19:47:55] but I like being in the office :) [19:48:05] hehe [19:48:06] I don't [19:48:15] there are slight positive effects [19:48:25] the problem is, i have to get there [19:48:27] and then come back [19:48:29] I even miss meetings with clients. coffee and sandwiches included [19:48:37] lol [19:49:00] kiara is still streaming, close to 7.5 hours [19:49:15] come on i cant go to sleep liek this [19:49:16] just finish it [19:49:54] my ship finally arrived. who'd think that a mere 480 kilolightseconds would take so long with FTL-drives [19:50:07] hehe [19:50:28] must be transported by local post [19:50:53] be happy it arrives at all [19:52:45] well, the autopilot was flying at 800c while I was back in the galley :) [19:52:57] hehe [20:01:39] 800c is a lot [20:01:46] where are you traveling? [20:03:06] from a main star to its binary dwarf. just looking at all the uninhabited star systems in the Pilot's Federation newbie sector [20:04:44] (from Lia Fail A to B) [20:14:26] i hate systems with long approaches like that [20:15:57] when you get missions like that, it is just pain, or rather not take thm
