[09:31:25] !jap kaku [09:31:26] Althego => 佳句 [かく]: (n) beautiful passage of literature :: 画 [かく]: (n,n-suf,ctr) stroke (of a kanji, etc.); (P) :: 画く [かく]: (v5k,vt) to draw; to paint; to sketch; to depict; to describe :: 劃 [かく]: (n,n-suf,ctr) stroke (of a kanji, etc.) :: 各 [かく]: (n) each; every; (P) :: 廓 [かく]: (n) (1) district; quarter; (2) enclosure; area enclosed by earthwork; (3) red-light district :: 格 [かく]: (n,n-suf) sta [09:31:38] and too long to fit in there [09:32:34] Kerbot: Nice rectangles. [09:34:51] use utf-8 :) [09:35:08] I do. [09:35:15] But my font is incomplete. [09:46:15] Action: raptop wants to say that the kana are all on the BMP. Probably a few kanji also [10:25:33] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o TheKosmonaut' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [14:06:50] Test small landing gear in flight over Kerbin: https://i.imgur.com/EdTHMSY.png [14:07:19] hehe [14:07:28] Hmm, maybe dropping it from a launch stability enhancer would have been better :) [14:07:40] this is how i do the eva reports above biomes [14:07:51] You jump? [14:07:55] yes [15:02:01] come on, clsoe the road [15:04:11] not yet, I'm still working on homework [15:04:23] hehe [17:44:41] road closed [17:45:09] woah [17:45:32] but test will be around 2 or 3 in the night here, so... [17:45:51] obviously [17:46:07] around 5 i already missed it by about 2 hours [17:49:04] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [18:13:52] pff... perform "in flight" EVA while jumping? the real kerbal way is doing it while falling off the ladder :p [18:14:21] i dont use ladders [18:14:28] they just add weight [18:14:44] 2 usecases: tylo and eve [18:14:48] the command modules have built in ones :) [19:04:51] I tested the Whiplash at some altitude and speed with my VTOL and took a lot of attempts to land it. Like ... 20 or so. [19:06:10] The wings are angled, so it picks up some horizontal speed as it comes down vertically. Gotta cancel that, too. [19:07:40] in the days of the wing destroying radiation of the launchpad, one all my wings disappeared on final approach, but managed to land on the engine [19:08:25] pad is still not cleaa [19:08:27] radiation? [19:08:43] i call it radiation [19:08:55] ok [19:09:14] it was a bug, anywhere aroudn kerbin you could potentially have a collision with the launchpad that only affected the wings [19:09:32] I'll rescue Keldred Kerman form the surface of the Mun ... [19:11:28] I have a capsule in polar orbit there with which I'll do a low pass over Keldred and tell him to jetpack to orbit and refuel in the capsule to get to Kerbin ... [19:33:53] pad clear, now just a few hours :) [19:40:37] hrhr [19:40:42] the grass shall vent! [19:41:14] at least there is a what about it [19:49:19] ok at this point it was quite probably. the real flight cant be this week [19:55:43] Why not? [19:57:05] Althego: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlxNeymN4-Q [19:57:16] A talk about the Starlink prices [19:59:52] maybe i should add something to collect that road closure data [20:02:08] https://youtu.be/FzWrH8ru_g4?t=748 [20:03:44] in this world of javascript at least the cameron county page just renders the spacex table in plain html, so i could collect it [21:02:18] yeah, there are still some good websites out there [21:03:16] and then there is this https://boingboing.net/2020/11/09/uk-company-script-srchttps-mjt-xss-ht-ltd-told-to-change-its-name.html [21:10:51] !road [21:10:52] Althego => Primary Date | November 8, 2020 | 7:00 p.m. – 1:00 a.m. | Closure Cancelled :: Primary Date | November 9, 2020 | 9:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. | Closure Scheduled :: Backup Date | November 10, 2020 | 9:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. | Closure Scheduled :: Backup Date | November 11, 2020 | 9:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. | Closure Scheduled :: Primary Date | November 12, 2020 | 9:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. | Closure Scheduled [21:11:41] at least i dont have to check it from that site anymore :) [21:13:41] Got Keldred in the capsule. [21:13:55] i swear with this font the long dash – looks shorter than the usual hypen - [21:14:19] Same here. [21:14:25] not here [21:14:42] Not here [21:14:43] Umm, no, it's longer. [21:14:58] Action: darsie is just confused :). [21:15:25] we discovered the relativity of horizontal length [21:15:52] and now parse it in a way that only the current dates are displayed and not the old ones ;) [21:16:12] that's the secret, i'm not parsing the text [21:16:19] (and always angry) [21:16:37] it works for next launch because there is a unix timestamp, which is easy to compare [21:16:44] !nela [21:16:47] Althego => Atlas V - NROL-101 - Thu Nov 12, 2020 22:18:00 UTC (L-2 days, 01:00:54) - https://rocketlaunch.live/launch/nrol-101 for info/stream [21:17:12] but that one is json to begin with [21:31:14] hrm, 35 minutes until static fire maybe? [21:31:19] I'm not staying up that long [21:31:25] me neither [21:31:28] also: just use some regexp ;) [21:31:44] yeah, if it happens, I'll rewatch it tomorrow [21:31:59] it is basically freeform text, so i am not going to try to parse or compare dates [21:32:05] that is a fool's errand [22:57:11] Action: darsie recovered Keldred on Kerbin. [23:08:51] That sounds entirely too much like the name of a Baldur's Gate character [23:22:45] really dumb question: I want to post an image with my question in the forum, and I see the button to "Insert image from URL", but not sure where to upload my image file. [23:24:00] It accepts images from imagur [23:24:38] I've heard of it, but not used imagur. I assume I have to create an account on it or something? [23:24:49] You do not, though they may try to trick you into doing so [23:24:51] (ok, two dumb questions) [23:25:11] ok, thanks. I'll take a look at it. Much obliged! [23:25:16] yay [23:26:59] thanks again, @raptop! That worked fine! [23:27:33] \o/
