[00:00:26] <HotSpicySausage> it would be interesting if KSP had a replay feature where you could watch your mission as a video and browse it at timepoints of what happened. [00:00:28] <tawny> well, like, you can put nine engines on the bottom of a big tall fuel tank, put some scaled up landing legs on the sides, and then fly it up, save a little fuel, and try to return to the launch pad and land the thing [00:00:51] <tawny> but it wouldn't necessarily tell you the exact inputs or forces or mechanical stresses or anything that the falcon 9 goes through [00:01:14] <HotSpicySausage> it would be close though? [00:01:39] <HotSpicySausage> s/it would/would it [00:02:27] <tawny> again, it depends on what you mean by "close" [00:02:47] <tawny> I've certainly gotten roughly the same experience with some of my rockets [00:03:02] <tawny> and had the challenge of a vertical landing [00:03:25] <tawny> but if you mean "would it follow the same trajectories", well, no [00:03:30] <tawny> for starters ksp doesn't have wind [00:03:36] <tawny> and I don't think RO adds that either [00:04:49] <Fluburtur> Rokker https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/372444178510249998/387755997965320195/20171206003212_1.jpg [00:05:05] <Fluburtur> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/372444178510249998/387756006827884544/20171204191222_1.jpg [00:05:31] <Rokker> Fluburtur: he's beautiful [00:05:38] <Fluburtur> we found a cool glitch [00:05:58] <HotSpicySausage> would it be the equivalent of using Rome: Total War as history documentaries of historical battles? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xOepuz2hBo [00:05:58] <kmath> YouTube - Decisive Battles - Cynoscephalae (Rome vs Macedon) [00:08:44] <tawny> yeah, probably [00:10:26] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [00:10:26] <HotSpicySausage> lol [00:17:08] <Fluburtur> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/372444178510249998/387759296131235841/20170607214432_1.jpg [00:23:38] <Fluburtur> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/372444178510249998/387760830667816960/20170611002504_1.jpg [00:32:24] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [00:41:07] Last message repeated 1 time(s).

[16:50:12] <Ezko_> ve2dmn: 100th anniversary of something else too [16:51:15] <ve2dmn> I mentioned the Halifax Explosion because it's Wikipedia article of the day [16:51:47] <ve2dmn> It was the biggest man-made explosion prior to nuclear bombs [16:57:16] <Ezko_> 100th anniversary of finnish independence [16:57:18] <Ezko_> declaration [16:59:44] <Leveller> Ezko_: Moriens.

[18:05:12] <Eddi|zuHause> ve2dmn: so the finnish people celebrated their independence by making the greatest firework ever halfway around the world? [18:06:03] <ve2dmn> Eddi|zuHause: I doubt it. The Halifax explosion was an accident with over 2000 dead and countless injuried [18:07:10] <ve2dmn> The only (weak) link between the 2 events is WW1 [18:07:28] <Eddi|zuHause> sorry, it was a terrible joke [18:10:22] <sandbox> a butterfly was responsible [18:10:58] <ve2dmn> sandbox: The accident was because 2 ship captain were playing the most dangerous game of 'chicken' [18:11:21] <ve2dmn> "You move away", "No you move away" [18:12:16] <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, i've seen a video about that yesterday [18:12:25] <ve2dmn> Sixty Symbols? [18:12:34] <Eddi|zuHause> yeah, i think so [18:14:30] <ve2dmn> If that's the one, she spelled 'Dartmouth' as 'Darthmouth' [18:15:26] <Eddi|zuHause> i wouldn't have noticed that [18:28:12] <ve2dmn> Most Canadian have heard of it because of the 'heritage minutes' [18:30:41] <ve2dmn> A sort of 'mini history lesson' that was between 2 ads on TV [18:33:45] <Mathuin> Hah! "Never Visiting Dres..." is a loading hint [18:34:13] <ve2dmn> You cannot visit what is not there [18:34:31] <Althego> the conspiracy [18:38:21] <QuantumRaptor> Dres is just to distract you from the awful truth hidden at gas planet 2. [18:38:44] <Mathuin> I'll be happy to enter Kerbol's SOI [18:39:35] <ve2dmn> is it possible to place a planet far enough that it would be impossible to reach? [18:39:49] <Eddi|zuHause> is there an outside to Kerbol's SOI? [18:39:55] <Althego> maybe it would be just bugged [18:40:00] <ve2dmn> As in, requires 18000dv ? [18:40:07] <Althego> dont think you can leave that [18:40:16] <QuantumRaptor> Out, no. In, maybe. [18:42:27] <Eddi|zuHause> ve2dmn: how would something be impossible to reach? certainly there's a finite escape velocity, and no object you wanted to reach a finite distance away would require surpassing that [18:43:26] <ve2dmn> Eddi|zuHause: You are limited to around 17000-17500 dv with the LV-N engine [18:46:41] <Eddi|zuHause> google thinks escape velocity is 13000m/s [18:46:55] <Eddi|zuHause> from kerbin orbit [18:47:18] <ve2dmn> Eddi|zuHause: with 999999999999999999 T800 (or 1.25E17 Orange tanks) and a single LV-N you get 17261m/s of dv [18:47:55] <Eddi|zuHause> so it should definitely be possible to reach that [18:48:27] <ve2dmn> to get 17000, you only need 136 T800 tanks [18:49:45] <ve2dmn> granted, my math is probably way off, because that was based on an old version of KSP [18:50:34] <Eddi|zuHause> also, 13km/s means you need only like 4km/s dV, because you're already travelling at orbital velocity already [18:51:32] <QuantumRaptor> From Kerbin's surface, kerbol escape only needed like 7 km/s pre 1.0 [18:52:15] <ve2dmn> Right... Kerbol is probably the hardest place to go beside 'leaving the solar system' [18:52:42] <QuantumRaptor> Impossible to orbit I could see (something interior to Moho), though yeah, flybys are always possible. [18:52:46] <Eddi|zuHause> that sounds about right [18:53:25] <Eddi|zuHause> to "land" on the sun means cancelling out the orbital velocity [18:54:08] <ve2dmn> Eddi|zuHause: but you are ultimatly limited in dV but the ISP of the engine you use [18:54:15] <Eddi|zuHause> so going from 1->0, wheras escaping means going from 1->sqrt(2) [18:54:20] <ve2dmn> so you can't go 'anywhere' [18:55:06] <ve2dmn> It's possible to place a another planet somewhere in that solar system that would be impossible to reach [18:55:18] <ve2dmn> I'm just wondering how far it would be [18:55:37] <ve2dmn> using the ion engine, you get a lot more dV [18:55:59] <ve2dmn> My old math said 36km/s of dv, but I'm not sure it's still valid [18:56:27] <Eddi|zuHause> you could also add a refuelling stop at jool or something [18:56:56] <Eddi|zuHause> where escape velocity might be even easier to reach [18:57:00] <ve2dmn> with ISRU then it becomes possible to get MUCH MUCH further [21:21:49] <Scolar_Visari> Could be worse. We could get another Twilight sequel! [21:21:49] <ve2dmn> Scolar_Visari: I just read the plot to Mazerunner. It sounds bad [21:21:49] <Scolar_Visari> ve2dmn: I've tried to watch it. I just turned to something else instead. [21:23:23] Action: Scolar_Visari ponders if there ever has been a young adult sub-genre movie with believable (or at least, likeable) characters and a plot that wasn't a poorly conceived romance written by people whose experience in the matter is restricted to dating simulation games. [21:24:35] <tawny> the first hunger games book was actually pretty good about that [21:25:11] <ve2dmn> The only one I can think of is 'The Fault in our Stars' [21:26:21] <tawny> I didn't actually like that one very much [21:27:31] <tawny> I thought the characters were kinda illogical or fake-deep. But they felt fake-deep in a way that people actually are in real life so it wasn't like totally ridiculous or anything, just kind of not a fun read for me [21:27:55] <Scolar_Visari> I suppose I'll just have to stick with Life is Strange. [21:28:08] <ve2dmn> You read the book, saw the movie or both? [21:28:49] <tawny> I read the book [21:29:23] <ve2dmn> If you didn't like the book, you are not missing anything by not watching the movie [21:30:49] <ve2dmn> As opposed to the Martian movie were I think the book and the movie are different [21:31:21] <ve2dmn> But I really want a Pathfinder for xmas :D [21:31:27] <tawny> hahaha [21:31:29] <tawny> don't we all [21:31:42] <tawny> on a related topic, a wrinkle in time (one of the YA novels I have the fondest memories of) is getting a movie apparently! [21:31:44] <ve2dmn> it's so cute [21:32:06] Action: Scolar_Visari would really like 1:1 scale Mars Exploration Rover, albeit only for the Pu-238. [21:32:41] <Scolar_Visari> tawny: Meanwhile, I must still wait for an adaptation of Rendezvous with Rama. [21:32:43] <ve2dmn> Scolar_Visari: if it's a reproduction, it might be Puny-238 instead [21:32:57] <tawny> ahhhh [21:33:10] <tawny> I'm not so sure I want that, anymore [21:33:23] <tawny> I'm too afraid whoever writes/directs it would just make it bad [21:34:12] <ve2dmn> tawny: you know that the author of The Fault in Our Stars has a youtube channel? [21:34:32] <tawny> I think I heard about that [21:34:52] <Scolar_Visari> ve2dmn: Enough for my, erm, research purposes. [21:34:59] <Supernovy> (by the way, our stars have no faults, they are fusing well within operational limits) [21:35:04] <Scolar_Visari> The ULTIMATE Lava Lamp! [21:35:17] <tawny> hahaha [21:35:20] <ve2dmn> I liked his crash course history video [21:35:52] <tawny> "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in our universe, that it has entropy" [21:36:02] <Scolar_Visari> tawny: Given the well received nature of Arrival (the Amy Adams one, not the Charlie Sheen one), I think the world is prepared for a Rendezvous with Rama adaptation. [21:36:17] <Supernovy> You get Bismuth-209 instead [21:36:24] <tawny> oh, that is a good point, arrival was done rather well [21:36:35] <tawny> I'm worried it'll end up more like gravity, but hopefully not [21:36:36] <Supernovy> It's not so much radioactive, as radioactish [21:36:50] <ve2dmn> link to example of crash course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhL5DCizj5c [21:36:50] <kmath> YouTube - Coal, Steam, and The Industrial Revolution: Crash Course World History #32 [21:36:58] <Scolar_Visari> Supernovy: Does it glow in the dark without an external power source? [21:37:31] <Supernovy> It glows almost as brightly as Marie Curie's diary. [21:37:33] <Scolar_Visari> tawny: It shouldn't be too hard. Just wide angle shots of a human spaceship drifting towards a giant cylinder. [21:37:39] <Scolar_Visari> Supernovy: Eh, close enough. [21:44:50] <ve2dmn> btw, the reason I linked to that specific episode is that it help to remind me that we live in interesting times [21:46:10] <Scolar_Visari> Psht, the most interesting time in history was when that one person invented fire. [21:47:14] <ve2dmn> For most of humanity things were grim, life expectancy was low, most never travel very far and the vast majority of people were farmers... [21:47:27] <ve2dmn> ... now I can watch a live stream from the ISS [21:48:12] <ve2dmn> and talk with random people across the globe about my trip 10000km from home [21:49:15] <ve2dmn> (I'm talking about with Japan trip with people from the Netherland in an other channel) [21:49:18] <Scolar_Visari> Eh, life expectancy hasn't actually changed that much if you remove deaths during childbirth. [21:49:56] <ve2dmn> Scolar_Visari: I'm alive because of modern medecine. 150 years ago, my appendix would have killed me at 15 [21:49:57] <Scolar_Visari> And life *during* the industrial revolution did NOT improve. Lives got shorter and more brutal for people who made the transition from rural life to early modern cities. [21:50:31] <Scolar_Visari> ve2dmn: People sort of still die from that. [21:50:46] <ve2dmn> True [21:51:16] <ve2dmn> but it used to be fatal everywhere [21:52:40] <tawny> also the whole childbirth thing itself is definitely way better than it used to be, which is nice [21:58:14] Action: Scolar_Visari goes off to restart Windows for an ill timed update. [21:59:36] <transitbiker> frustrating that thrust lines are blocked by wings and control surfaces - in reality the exhaust would slipstream around the part [22:01:04] <transitbiker> wow, 17:00 and already dark out [22:26:51] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [22:34:06] <sandbox> supreme champion https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DQVkvzdVwAAvLQy.jpg:large [22:51:01] <Leveller> hah [22:51:15] <Leveller> NiceHash mining site is hacked.

[23:29:00] <KrazyKrl> A video card?! wat [23:29:02] <FireFlower> also [23:29:09] <FireFlower> Video capturing card! [23:29:38] <FireFlower> also dedicated game port, 2x USB 1.1 and 1 USB port at front panel! [23:29:56] <FireFlower> IR remote to control mouse, phone or tv! [23:30:17] <FireFlower> Good stereo speakers (no bass though) [23:30:40] <KrazyKrl> iirc i went from a powermac 5500... to some weird athlon or 686 or something... to a pentium 4. [23:30:46] <FireFlower> And the crazy thing is I had no idea we actually had the meanest machine in my home town :D [23:31:21] <FireFlower> I was complaining my friend that his Duke Nukem 3D must be different version because sounds were totally "blant" (Cheap soundblaster Midi) [23:31:32] <FireFlower> little did I know back then :D [23:31:46] <KrazyKrl> I've only had like 5 computer systems in my life. [23:32:14] <KrazyKrl> Well, along with the tens of other computers i've used. [23:32:23] <KrazyKrl> At least I seem to have skipped windows Me. [23:32:49] <KrazyKrl> (My engineering class was straight win2k pro NT.) [23:33:03] <FireFlower> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr-84mjV3CI [23:33:03] <kmath> YouTube - The Secret of Monkey Island with various sound cards [23:33:32] <FireFlower> compare 1:32 and 4:50 [23:33:42] <FireFlower> that was my difference back then :D [23:33:54] <KrazyKrl> Playing quake 3 on like $7000 CAD systems was funny though. "You mean this computer can run Quake at max?!" [23:34:22] <FireFlower> you mean you don't have SlideFX? [23:34:36] <KrazyKrl> Along with the honkin massive CRT flat screen monitors. [23:34:41] <KrazyKrl> Yes, CRT flat screen. [23:35:03] <FireFlower> the weird thing people don't know anymore about SlideFX... it was a thing along with OpenGL and DirectX... though It was a way better! [23:35:14] <FireFlower> better graphics, higher framerates :D [23:35:15] <KrazyKrl> iirc these were OpenGL machines. [23:35:31] <FireFlower> ah CRT flat screens [23:35:50] <KrazyKrl> They weren't thin, or light, but the screen surface was flat. [23:35:52] <FireFlower> never again going to take those to lan parties [23:36:03] <KrazyKrl> They were probably 24" CRTs [23:36:23] <FireFlower> it was kinda funny back in 2006 most people still were using CRT's [23:36:37] <FireFlower> then 2009 suddenly majority all ready using TFT flats [23:37:11] <KrazyKrl> Because they were shoved as new hardware by the manufacturers. [23:37:26] <KrazyKrl> That's the main reason 4k gaming is a thing, instead of 144hz gaming. [23:37:43] <KrazyKrl> it's much more expensive to run at 4k currently. [23:37:47] <FireFlower> 4K is awesome on 42" monitor [23:38:04] <FireFlower> pixel sniping got a whole new meaning that way :D [23:38:27] <FireFlower> I think our first PC was... Atari PC-1.. [23:38:55] <KrazyKrl> I had a ][e that we probably bought from the local elementary school for wholesale. [23:38:56] <FireFlower> 5.25" floppy drive, I think it had EEROM as main storage to store OS.. [23:39:14] <KrazyKrl> it had dual external floppy drives :/ [23:39:29] <FireFlower> heh but did you have 1500b/s modem made by Nokia? [23:39:44] <FireFlower> my Mother was the first ones in Finland to try working from home :D [23:39:54] <FireFlower> that modem though :D [23:39:59] <FireFlower> 1500b/s... [23:40:29] <KrazyKrl> All that I can think about now, in regards to old modems... are scenes from Sneakers.
