[01:27:53] oof.. ever get into a career and forget what it was you were doing in that particular session? [01:29:33] Action: JVFoxy pokes notepad, "maybe I should start taking down notes on my sessions.. rather than trying to solve a mystery [03:26:49] i tend to get into it pretty quickly [12:26:23] Is there a way to get electricity to a vessel that's landed on Minmus without mods? [12:26:41] Solar panels? [12:26:51] you can grab it with a claw [12:28:15] the claw... I'm gonna try that! [12:28:52] no solar panels. I stuck those on the part that flew back to Kerbin :( [12:38:25] well, there's always "$EDITOR persistent.sfs"... ;) [12:39:05] $insert link to that KSP comic where Bill has magic editing powers [12:41:52] Don't wanna start editing. Feels like cheating to me [12:44:18] true. hmm. it's not really "deus ex machina" if it's the human player modifying the virtual world *in* the machine, is it? [12:45:28] I just remembered some KSP Mission comic on the forum (probably one of Deddly's) where Bill would sometimes need to "edit" the world :) [12:52:21] KSP comic :) news to me... [12:59:58] That's "Kerbfleet: A Jool Odyssey" https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/126293-kerbfleet-a-jool-odyssey-chapter-20-pg-23-shee-oot-indeed-or-is-it-shee-ot/ [13:00:15] (unless there's another one where Bill has secret universe-editing) [13:00:20] https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/166447-the-moderation-nation-space-program/ or https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/forum/51-mission-reports/ in general [13:00:46] FLHerne: right, it was Kuzzter, not Deddly. thanks! :) [13:01:54] I should catch up with that sometime [13:03:43] "Altitude...uh...negative two?" :D [13:08:05] thanks guys, I'll have a look later. Bookmarked it for now [14:13:06] hmm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lBZVNwK6ao [14:13:06] YouTube - 「こうのとり」9号機/H-IIBロケット9号機打上げライブ中継 [14:13:18] Kounotori 9 (HTV-9) [14:17:26] That sounds japanese to me [14:20:14] does it matter? [14:20:20] a launch [14:21:17] I'm not complaining, just making witty remarks. :D [14:22:53] intel continues to burn, figuratively and literally. the 10900k is more of a heater than a cpu [14:23:22] Are they burning coal? [14:23:29] Or silicon? [14:23:50] no, they are burning profit and popularity [14:32:35] well, with the next iteration of Ryzen AMD may finally be faster. [14:39:52] well if they follow their pattern of hype-and-fail-hard probably not. They usually do that every 2 or 3 architecture changes lol [14:43:17] That said I don't really get why people are giving the 10xxx chips a hard time, Intel didn't hype them, they didn't make any major promises (like AMD tends to do and even got sued over). If the willow architectures turn out as well as they look like they will, AMD is gonna get promptly crapped on [14:44:04] at best AMD will still at least hold the ground for decent server crunching CPU's though, or mobile chips (since Intel's probably never gonna get their integrated IntelHD stuff on par with the integrated ATI/AMD graphics) [14:48:04] "The new Intel eco-friendly electric space heater. No more burning fossil fuels!" *spin* [14:54:59] My 9900K is otherwise good, though it's also got a CLC so [14:56:00] Action: darsie has an i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40GHz. [14:59:58] related, what does the "reflection refresh" setting in KSP actually do? it has a large impact on GPU load but I can't really see much difference [15:11:56] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:13:32] packbart: Full reflections on anything capable of it.

First he wanted to concentrate on what has to be done, now he's outsourcing it... ;) [15:44:25] a nose heavy plane flies poorly [15:44:32] a tail heavy plane flies once [15:44:57] Does it count as twice if the pieces bounce off the landscape? [15:45:42] Anyway, KSP planes have a ludicrous amount of control authority [15:46:02] lol maker larva [15:46:10] You can get away with flying some very stupid things... [15:54:55] nate: ah, thank you. I'll look closer then :) I guess I can keep that setting on default [15:55:15] Action: packbart quickly reached the (modded) point where even the new shiny GPU and VRAM are maxed out :) [15:55:46] (ok, with the Astronomer's Visual Pack and its 2k textures. 8x anti-aliasing and the kitchen sink) [15:55:54] I love it :) [16:32:30] alright, delivery complete, return trajectory set, 150dv left [16:32:51] the mun orbital research facility has 2 years worth of snacks now [16:34:02] it already had enough fuel for a couple of polar mun landings with the mk1 science can. still have 3 biomes only seen from orbit. [16:35:31] but first, we're warping ahead a few months to complete the eve fly-by contract [16:36:03] packaged correctly, snacks never go stale [16:53:32] there is at least some music [17:01:31] packbart: Does vacuum drying count as packaging? [17:12:00] probably. I was trying to imagine how "snacks" would look and taste after a trek to the outer planets [17:12:20] There's plenty of vacuum in space. [17:12:41] Some flavor would also evaporae. [17:12:44] t [17:21:47] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:22:18] destruction of the empty spaces is my one and only crime [17:26:17] interesting booster separation [17:26:43] Action: raptop never realized that they were hydraulic (ish) rather than using small rockets [17:27:07] Also, very KSP nosecones [17:27:32] Ah, yes. The betty that counts entirely in seconds [17:30:53] launching soon [17:31:12] i always liked that recorded japanese countdown voice [17:31:20] they could do with some overlays [17:31:27] yeah [17:32:16] what shrieking sound [17:34:47] If you were strapped to 4 SRBs, you'd also scream [17:34:53] Action: raptop isn't sure why that happens though [17:35:09] Hm. Booster seperation is a bit less iconic than the Korolev cross [17:36:22] no on-board cameras and weird encoding blocks. not a crowd-pleaser [17:39:08] url?

[17:53:06] stuff* [17:53:14] no [17:53:51] although intel is launching its new space heater [17:54:33] the human mission is at the end of next week, yeah? [18:14:55] scheduled for 27th [18:15:29] in 7 days 2 hours 17 minutes and 30 seconds [18:15:42] sadly still 22:33 [18:16:25] i hope europe will get a human capable rocket as well at some point [18:16:43] haha, doesnt look like it [18:17:31] there is a french ariane 6 develeopment, probably not for humans, but by the time it goes into use, starship will have made everything non reusable obsolete [18:18:52] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [18:24:29] safely home from orbit of eve! [18:24:51] i heard they were looking into making the ariane 6 reusable [19:23:21] They should just revert to launch when they want to do another mission. Cheaper and easier then reuse [19:23:55] But then, ESA are n00bs ;) [19:24:51] hehe [19:33:03] but then you'd never be able to upgrade the launchpad. no monies, no glory [19:55:26] i've got two 500 ton rockets lined up for duna [19:55:29] crazy stuff [20:40:20] i think my current duna crew only barely has enough snacks to complete their mission [20:44:35] i'm going to do synchronized burning with two vessels for my polar mun mission [20:46:47] but first i need a pilot and to finish the ore delivery. it almost seems like a chore at this point.
