[04:08:28] probably not good [04:10:16] I get the impression that it got stalled out for a few decades until gravitational waves&multi messenger astronomy happened [04:17:35] 32 minutes [04:35:38] apparently the launch was delayed by around 40 minutes already [04:56:35] is that better or worse than lunch being delayed? :p [05:00:56] at least now there is a stream [05:01:06] and of course it never starts on its own [05:01:14] probably some firefox update or youtube feature [05:01:34] i used to keep them running and noticed something is up when the spacex music started to play [05:01:44] now it just doesnt work [05:01:50] you have to go there and refresh [05:02:50] i can't listen to this monotone business voice [05:27:34] high winds, i guess after a while they are just going to announce a scrub [05:34:01] again, my hobby is watching cylinders [05:35:09] was just dealing with measurements, math, geometry.. trying to figure something out [05:39:42] predictable interface names. thanks poettering [05:39:55] another misfeature [05:40:09] it never helped me. not once [05:40:19] on the contrary [05:40:53] the same idea s mounting hard disks by unique id? what if i want to quickly replace the disk with a cloneed disk? no you cant do that, first you have to edit the unique id [06:06:45] they just cant launch this one [06:07:13] and the sun has set, would have been nice if the rocket flew up into sunlight, probably too late for that [08:51:16] my decouplers won't decouple https://hatrix.fr/ksp/decouplers.webm [08:51:18] any idea why? [08:58:14] I got rid of the struts and rotated the part instead https://hatrix.fr/ksp/decouplers_fixed.webm [09:45:55] hatrix: try removing the coupled sats and when you reattach them hold shift [09:46:10] what will shift do? [09:46:17] those small cube structures like to stick to anything [09:46:37] it will deactivate surface mount and only connect at the green dots [09:46:56] oh [10:17:34] Are there mods with bearings? [10:18:27] see the dlc [10:19:02] hatrix: does it work now? [10:19:04] None as free mods? [10:19:07] darsie: there is [10:19:11] there must be [10:19:16] infernal robotics has some [10:19:29] After all, there are flexible joints, so it shouldn't be too hard. [10:19:32] thx [10:19:38] wasnt that always one of those mods that sometimes worked sometimes didnt [10:19:45] So I could simulate strings with sticks and joints? [10:19:58] there is a mod with strings [10:20:08] or rather thread [10:20:09] s [10:20:14] Althego: it has to be updated to work with the most recent version of KSP [10:20:34] sometimes Squad breaks userspace. And you never break userspace ;) [10:20:59] like predictable network interfaces are predictable? [10:21:23] I'm interested in suspending a gyro on a string and see it precess. [10:21:35] hehe i tried to do that [10:21:38] but isntead of string [10:21:41] i put it on water [10:21:47] and since it is perfectly still... [10:21:54] but at time i had to make my own bearing [10:22:05] so it was shaking too much [10:22:12] The bearings I invented sucked. [10:22:19] but now, maybe i could build my own gyrocompass [10:22:35] that is atually easier to build on water than a simple gyro [10:22:54] water is already an almost zero resistance bearing at low speeds [10:23:09] and since gyrocompass has to be perfectly level, water does that for you too [10:23:23] thus you need to create only one bearing [10:23:27] But water supports a gyro equally on both sides. [10:23:39] instead of 3 (x2) for a normall gyro [10:24:26] so it should precess too, but not the same way as a free gyro, but towards the north south axis [10:25:38] mhm [10:26:39] on the other hand, since ksc is almost at the rquator, you aready know the precession axis of your gyro [10:26:59] so you can lose one axis [10:27:51] Althego: udev is not the kernel ;) [10:36:39] Action: packbart used RCS ball-bearings once - it works in weird ways [10:37:56] yes, the smallest you can make is a linear rcs port captured inside thermometers [10:38:03] works relatively well [10:38:05] sometimes [10:38:57] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjvQFtlNQ-M [10:38:58] YouTube - 60% of the time, it works every time.... [10:57:12] Mat2ch: I haven't tried yet, I had to go out and I launched with the second design [11:09:19] I read "and I lunched" and really asked myself: How? :D [11:22:15] lunch just arrived :) [11:48:11] "Pilots landing on offshore platforms have been told they must carry out proper name checks after a helicopter mistook one platform for another." [11:49:17] where do they get these sentient helicopters from? ;p [11:50:14] passenger planes sometimes take the wrong route, too. even trains, occasionally [11:51:48] ah. hmm. the pilot is just an add-on to the helicopter ;) [12:00:41] Action: darsie made another bad bearing: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot350.png [12:00:55] hehe [12:00:58] nice idea though [12:01:02] this never occured to me [12:01:32] :) [12:01:41] there is still the old wat, something cylindrical and small landing gear [12:01:46] way [14:44:14] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:07:44] at least the electron launch moved to saturday, i can watch it comfortably [15:22:46] who bets that it really launches on Saturday? ;) [15:23:14] usually they have many delays [15:23:32] but once they start the stream they almost always launched [15:23:37] this was an exception [16:35:22] Mat2ch: I bet 100 dogecoin. [16:41:39] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [16:53:13] darsie: that's like 25 cent :P [16:53:51] And I still can't get over the fact that I had the opportunity to buy hundreds of bitcoins years ago [16:53:57] I need a time machine :P [17:28:04] if everyone who had the opportunity to do that at that time did so, it wouldn't be worth what it is today [17:28:23] Action: hoglahoo is so wise and smart. $5 for advice appointments [17:33:52] Action: Mat2ch takes the $5 [17:34:15] wait, thats not how it works [17:34:33] Action: Mat2ch burns the $5 [17:34:38] no evidence! [17:35:29] also I said: "I need a time machine". There was nothing about sharing it with everyone else in it :P [18:01:06] the implication was that if the technology you required existed, there would be others with the means to gain access to it [18:01:25] Action: hoglahoo sends a bill lfor $7.50 [18:30:54] Funny thing is, if you have a time machine and you find out someone else has one, then it would be easy to go back in time and make sure this person doesn't get their time machine [18:31:21] So maybe we all had a time machine, but we took other peoples machine and got ours taken... [18:57:42] Really, you only ever need one time machine [18:58:43] Because anyone using it can be finished instantly [19:08:10] and that's how Time Wars start [19:08:20] we wouldn't know, though [19:24:23] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:23:39] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:11:53] Last message repeated 1 time(s). [21:11:53] this universe has a lousy frame rate. newer models run at 10^46 FPS! not barely 10^42 (maybe 10^43, overclocked) [21:12:34] Action: packbart was just reminded of the Planck limits and the Real Physics Engine limited floating point precision [21:12:37] funny stuff [21:24:07] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:24:13] 2500+ dv burn to laythe with a rhino liquid engine in one go and it was perfect [21:41:49] I haven't used rhino much beyond messing about. Didn't it used to overheat if wasn't careful? [21:42:05] i think they 'fixed' all overheating 'problems' [21:42:28] either way, the next mission to jool will be a manned one [21:42:44] and they're bringing some mystery goo to test it [21:44:22] lol.. ya I still remember when Mainsail would overheat so easily back in early editions. [21:45:01] not that I use it much as is. Seem to make more use out of the Skipper, probably because I limit my build sizes [22:43:44] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net
