[03:23:53] If only they were the eclectic universe, then I might agree. [03:24:47] I dunno, they also believe Saturn was uncomfortably close to Earth at one point. [03:26:47] Or was it Venus? Meh.

[03:46:48] Blorg? [03:50:16] They're a militarist/fanatical xenophile default species from Stellaris. They just want to be friends with everyone, by force if need be. [03:50:22] http://i.imgur.com/E1ND8wL.png [03:50:48] It sort of started as a joke during the pre-release streams. [03:51:28] hah [03:54:14] They are also, unfortunately, quite hideous to look at and receive a foreign opinion penalty. They're also very lonely and get a happiness penalty. [03:55:02] The Blorg also get their very own AI personality: "Fanatic Befrienders" [03:56:11] The actual game description: "Fanatical Befrienders are highly friendly but deeply lonely individuals.

[05:42:32] https://i.imgur.com/fSPDb4O.png [05:42:50] i'm controling from the quiztech aero docking port, aiming at the one with the purple marker [05:43:05] according to DPAI (and if using MechJeb PAR-) I'm aligned [05:43:09] which is painfully obvious I am not [05:43:33] same goes for all my standard docking ports on the station [05:43:49] any help to sort this would be appreciated... [05:44:02] it looks like you're alligned to the wrong axis on the docking port. [05:44:26] yeah, no kidding. but how can the axis on the docking port change? [05:44:26] it's not a problem with your detection, it's working fine... the problem is with the part mod itself. [05:44:36] hinky part configs? [05:44:37] but.. it's the stock docking port on the station [05:44:49] if I hop out and switch to another craft with the stock docking port, it is the same [05:44:55] same offset, same weirdness [05:45:37] is there a way to visualize the docking port axises? [05:47:07] and I honestly can't see how suddenly all my standard docking ports would have their axises(axii?) switched about [05:48:34] docking ports on the wrong way? [05:48:44] That was a head scratcher for me at first. [05:48:46] they definitely are not, but seems like it [05:48:57] it should be noted that I have docked with this station before [05:49:52] on the same docking ports... [05:51:09] there's a known bug with Stockalike Station Parts Redux that breaks docking ports [05:51:13] maybe that's yer problem [05:52:09] ah that could be it [05:52:21] it was updated yesterday [05:52:24] since SSPR tweaks the stock docking ports, something got haywire [05:52:33] yeah in the new update [05:52:51] ok, the only thing done for the docking port is to replace the mesh [05:52:57] i can remove that part from the config [05:53:05] and it should revert to the default one right? [05:54:56] perhaps, worth a shot [05:55:07] yeah, going to [05:55:09] main suspect is some coordinates getting flipped/typoed [05:57:11] yeah [05:57:22] man, i hope removing the patch reverts to the default [05:57:33] if not, i'll be mighty sad, this station has taken me *quite* some time to build [05:57:44] would suck to have to abandon it :( [06:09:27] YES! it worked! [06:09:58] thanks Supercheese for letting me know about the bug, I wouldn't have known to look at Stockalike Station Parts [06:22:03] Yer welcome :) [07:26:56] oh wow, the ksp wiki is broken :O [07:26:59] https://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/wiki/Asteroid [07:27:12] getting "Failed to parse (unknown error)" on the formulas [07:29:52] Yeah, I emailed support& 2 weeks ago? [07:30:01] ouch [07:30:39] i'm totally new to capturing asteroids, and I'm going to make my first attempt at one passing in Kerbin orbit between Mun and Minmus, what kind of dv am I looking at for a capture? [07:30:50] and is there a way for me to calculate this? [07:31:11] you would need to know the mass of the asteroid in advance [07:31:29] well, I know the class - it's an A, so the wiki says up to 9.5 tonnes [07:31:29] i think you get only the type, which is a size category [07:31:32] so if we work on that [07:31:40] for ”V, asteroid mass is irrelevant. [07:31:47] no [07:31:51] unless you mine it [07:31:51] propulsion, though [07:32:10] you have to move the asteroid so it is your payload [07:33:05] yeah, the grabber unit I have have some 2k v with a 10t payload :D [07:33:15] that is nice [07:33:22] you can even try to aerocapture :) [07:33:30] ^ [07:34:33] And even without, capture from a close pass is cheaper ”V wise, than with a periapsis out at 25 Mm or the like. [07:34:59] ok, the periapsis is quite far out, but I was thinking about doing a slight burn to adjust that after capturing it [07:35:13] i'm capturing it like 50+ days before entering Kerbin SoI [07:37:24] but i'm guessing that'll be a near negligible v cost from doing it far outside the SoI? [07:52:16] Yeah [08:08:19] i also now feel kind of stupid... I just realized that my grabber has no RCS... well then, grabbing the asteroid will have to be done with care then [08:12:16] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v Hikaru' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [08:31:05] Oh, "Mythbusters Jr." with Adam Sandler.

[10:53:18] well that also means that you would brake half the way to the place [10:56:58] https://78.media.tumblr.com/03f34753c0f634dd0a47b5a106ae32a9/tumblr_ooivd0B6kt1sq4mr8o1_540.jpg [11:02:27] https://78.media.tumblr.com/fbf1786f7f1e24d49cab1acc34fc37b7/tumblr_p6y183qLzb1w4eqqho1_540.png [11:06:02] Brought a fifty-year-old car back to life today.

I noticed where the problem was, next video shows a smooth engine, then the next video shows an exploding radiator. Lol. A roller coaster of emotions. [11:10:28] taniwha: is there any other way to play Ksp? [11:10:45] not as far as I'm concerned [11:11:12] taniwha: do you give her your go-to plane design or is she building stuff? [11:11:28] gave her my current go-to [11:11:42] kinda reminds me of the lawnmower of my grandpa [11:11:44] it's fairly reliable. She /almost/ landed it, even :) [11:11:57] he ordered a new motor with electric start and it wasn't working so I looked at it [11:12:23] camshaft was not fitted correctly so it was opening the valves in the wrong order [11:13:16] taniwha: today has been really gusty in the tokyo area, we are right under the Haneda approach path, I saw a number of smaller planes having some significant sideslip. Makes me wish there was a "random wind" option [11:13:31] Would make rudder control even more important [11:13:35] yeah [11:14:56] Fluburtur: heh. That's one of those "well there's your problem" moments [11:16:09] girl playing ksp with a saitek x52? [11:16:57] yeah [11:21:42] I should get myself a stick [11:23:38] got to the forest :) [11:23:50] kek [11:23:55] run (to) forest run [11:24:00] I could maybe 3d print one [11:24:08] but then I would need to do the electronics and stuff [11:25:59] Run to the hills! [11:26:07] Oh, wait, different universe :D [11:26:33] Fluburtur: the electronis has been done for you already. You just need to solder them and maybe flash an arduino [11:26:44] eh idk [11:26:52] I would want pedals for flying planes too [11:27:09] I basically want a full simpit but I don't have room for that [11:27:30] The pedals should be made out of metal [11:27:38] yes, the twisting is not too comfortable for planes [11:27:48] but making them isn't hard either, you just need some metal of the right sizes [11:28:05] also in ksp the switching of the joy axes for rockets and planes you need a mod [11:28:09] also I'd like to get back into flying helicopters (simulated of course) [11:28:26] Althego: there are so many things missing in KSP :| [11:28:45] btw: Is there a way in TAC Life support to just vent the CO2? [11:28:46] but ksp moon landings taught me flying helicopters :) [11:28:55] They did? How? [11:29:01] because the same physics [11:29:03] mostly [11:29:04] Mat2ch: TAC fuel balancer lets you dump [11:29:18] taniwha: ah, then I need that mod, too. [11:29:37] of course this is from one simulator to the other [11:30:13] Althego: not really. In a helicopter you have to counteract a pretty nasty yaw movement all the time [11:30:25] yes, and that is how it works [11:30:36] had to turn off the computer to make it work [11:30:42] and when you're hovering there are all kinds of different things happening [11:30:55] when i found the cyclic trim switch in GA i could finally fly it [11:31:03] because the computer was always fioghting against me [11:31:04] if you wanna try to fly a helicopter, install flightgear and try the Eurocopter. But bring pedals... [11:31:21] Computer? No computer allowed! :P [11:31:23] that switchd off all the feedback, consequently the axis decoupling done by the computer [11:31:37] in contrast GS that doesnt have this stupidity [11:31:38] speaking of simulators, anyone here fly sims on a regular basis? p3d/xplane? [11:31:44] was relatively easy to handle [11:33:16] http://www.warpology.com/x/VIDEO0001.mp4 [11:33:21] ok, take a Eurocopter and do some hovering :D [11:34:14] (two GAs in networked mode) [11:36:06] There's a simulator nearby which has a working Bell UH-1 model and I got to fly it [11:36:16] Hovering is really hard work in it [11:36:32] this one used to run uh-1D too, but it was retired [11:36:42] ok, in GA you can hover easiy, there is a hover mode :) [11:36:59] cant land though [11:37:11] have to be at least 4 feet or something to work [11:38:01] luckily with the CH53 series you can just land like a plane, lot easier [11:39:28] how not to land a helicopter http://www.warpology.com/x/VIDEO0015.mp4 [11:57:41] k bottleboat time [12:05:51] Althego: the last part is what you have to do all the time without an autopilot ;) [12:06:51] as i said with some ksp experience, and turning off the axis decoupling i was doing ok [12:10:09] you need to fly one without all those computers. :D [12:19:34] hi everyone [12:20:47] I'm trying to make the patcher work to transition from 1.3.1 to 1.4.2, but when I select the folder ksp_win64, or ksp-win64-1.3.1, it says that my KSP folder is invalid. What am I doing wrong ? [12:21:45] ...the patcher still exists? [12:22:09] well, not the old patcher, the new "Upgrade patches" [12:23:00] congratulations to squad then for writing the same tool three times and messing it up each time [12:23:58] oh well, guess its time to download 1.4.2 directly. However some other patches I used worked beforehand [12:32:30] it's funny how long RSS/RO takes to load. I have to wait around five minutes... [12:32:53] so, why am I showing a productivity that low for this? https://i.imgur.com/WP61sHv.jpg [12:32:58] I really wonder if the loading process couldn't be done in parallel [12:33:42] you have even more mods installed... how long does KSP take to load for you?! [12:33:54] Mat2ch, too long, about 10-15 minutes, sometimes more [12:34:13] it's currently using 17gb of ram too :D [12:34:26] taniwha, if you are around, am i totally misunderstanding what i need for building? i'm showing a productivity of -8.94e-09 [12:52:15] GlassYuri: The patcher always exists, but, like the appendix, it is useless and often just hurts you [12:53:09] lol [12:54:00] TheKosmonaut, depending on how you define america, I was there recently [12:54:30] ugh. Anyone else having problems after updateing KER?

I hyperedited up the construction workshop to orbit, have a crew of 4 and getting absolutely no productivity whatsoever. I don't understand this at all [13:10:36] you can try to summon the creator [13:10:41] i tried [13:10:44] hehe [13:10:51] it was either ignored or missed [13:10:52] maybe a few hours sooner tomorrow [13:11:09] he was there literally 12 minutes ago lol [13:11:11] wellllll the creator did speak *after* i summoned [13:11:14] so yeah [13:11:49] TheKosmonaut, I think people sometimes fix their GPUs with ovens, if the problems are solder related [13:12:47] While i dislike repeatedly pinging people, I guess it's been half hour now... taniwha, any suggestions?

Stronger every day [16:00:41] in other places it is a variation of anans [16:00:43] ananas [16:01:12] Ananas is German and Russian [16:01:34] here it is ananász, which is a variaton [16:01:35] and spanish and french [16:01:41] It is definitely not an apple [16:02:12] Apple commes from the proto-indo-europeen for 'fruit'... as in generic fruit [16:02:50] At least they don't call it a vegetable [16:02:54] hehe [16:02:55] which explain the weird uses of apple in languages everywhere [16:03:37] like Orange juice in.... I think Dutch... is Juice of apple of orangers [16:03:55] And potatoes in french is 'earth apple' [16:04:03] hehe [16:04:09] now those are not fruits [16:04:13] So much for vegetables [16:04:18] :D [16:04:29] nobody eats the fruits of potatoes, not good for you [16:04:34] But french is weird anyway [16:04:51] meanwhile kitkat released red chocolate, it is from a special cocoa that is red [16:04:52] Action: APlayer glares at 4 * 20 + 10 + 7 [16:05:23] https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/food-and-drink/kitkat-ruby-chocolate-bar-uk-launch-europe-release-nestle-a8297661.html [16:05:33] i think i want to try it [16:05:35] APlayer: only in France. Belgium uses a different name for 70,80 and 90 [16:06:36] Dutch numbers are... even weirder [16:07:00] ve2dmn: Anyway, I demand an explanation for why they do not outperform other people in mental maths, considering their daily training [16:07:17] european languages have this weird fascination with twelve, but they are using decimal numbers [16:07:40] Fluburtur: finally :) [16:07:56] Fluburtur: I wonder how the videos will look in summer, when it gets hot there. :D [16:07:57] 12 is divisible by 2, 3, and 4 [16:07:58] 12 divisible by 2,3,4,6 [16:08:11] I don't know of any speaking languages that natively use binary, octal or hexadecimal numbers [16:08:12] ok, and 6 [16:08:15] it's already pretty warm here [16:08:25] taniwha: what are you doing here at this time [16:08:34] being up too late [16:08:34] Factoring 12 [16:08:44] 60 is divisiable by 2,3,4,5,6,10,12 [16:08:50] ve2dmn: The romans used a decimal system based on 12, IIRC [16:08:57] yes but i mean they count to twelve, why isnt it 10-1 10-2 as in sane languages :) [16:08:58] which is why the babylonians had a facination with it [16:09:23] decimal == 10. a 12-based is duodecimal [16:09:28] really, just 2, 3, and 5 [16:09:34] I mean, if you're doing mostly mental math, and using it for currency, easy to divide makes a lot of sense [16:09:43] pre-computers that is [16:09:47] yup [16:10:08] now precision is more important then quick-to-estimate [16:10:28] base 10 isn't any more precise than base 12, though [16:10:43] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F70tClnEKQI [16:10:43] YouTube - Kyle Franklin Comedy Act [16:10:49] no, but it's not the base computer use anyway [16:11:04] yeah, and computers are horrible at math [16:11:14] (they just do it quickly and consistently) [16:11:42] 52 bits gets you only 17 digits [16:11:56] (of uniquely identifiable numbers) [16:12:00] taniwha: tivec had some problem: "so nobody knows why I'm getting such a low vessel productivity for the EL orbital dock? I hyperedited up the construction workshop to orbit, have a crew of 4 and getting absolutely no productivity whatsoever. I don't understand this at all" [16:12:08] Althego: Because twelve is twoteen in English [16:12:48] If I was dictator, I would make everyone use a random base [16:12:55] the music in the video is wrong. should have been the benny hill chase music [16:13:00] Althego: module manager, engineers, not too stupid [16:13:08] hehe [16:13:18] (check productivity in the workshop's PAW) [16:13:32] taniwha, https://i.imgur.com/GE1q3d3.png [16:13:38] "Today, you shall all count in base 14. Tomorrow it will be base 3" [16:13:40] -7e-8 [16:13:56] i mean, i wouldn't say they are *that* stupid [16:14:01] i think they're mid-way or so [16:14:02] Fluburtur: it's too warm, I think. And we had our first thunderstorms yesterday. Never had a thunderstorm in April [16:14:04] ve2dmn: That's why you will never be elected as a dictator [16:14:14] that dude is really dragging the wingtips on the ground [16:14:19] A dictator laugh in the face of elections [16:14:25] I hope it has like some pads to protect it [16:14:33] also the william tell overture reminds me of kodocha because of that amv [16:14:48] taniwha, any idea at all? :( [16:15:27] i didn't have four engineers, just one iirc, but i mean they'd still contribute even if not engineers no? [16:15:51] tivec: looking [16:16:31] tivec: non-engineers must have a 5-star engineer to have a positive contribution [16:16:43] APlayer: seriously, though, I would probably make everyone learn different bases, but force the use of a consistant system [16:16:53] you got Bill Kerman in there? [16:16:59] tivec: ^ [16:17:06] because even just the long-vs-short-form of billions drives me nuts [16:17:06] yeah, iirc, but it's career so he isn't 5-star [16:17:09] That's imperial vs. metric systems, in a nutshell [16:17:13] base 2 base a huge positive side: the multiplication table is extremely small :) [16:17:23] in fact you dont even need to memorize it [16:17:24] i'm booting up KSP to check for real taniwha, it's just taking a while lol [16:17:27] tivec: hmm, with 2 stars, he should have 0.5 productivity [16:17:36] and the others should be contributing 0? [16:17:37] (in the workshop) [16:17:42] yeah, 0 [16:18:01] the -7e-8 is how I knew Bill was in there :) [16:18:14] wha? [16:18:32] he /should/ get exactly 0, but floating point numbers... [16:18:36] ah hahaha [16:18:37] hehe [16:18:50]
