[02:36:20] Supernovy: fun [05:57:15] bwoop [05:57:27] mmmbop [05:58:15] transitbiker: beep [05:58:22] hello [05:58:28] :D [05:58:32] how is everyone? [05:58:41] I watched In The Pale Moonlight last night. [05:58:44] in the office [05:58:47] Top five star trek episodes [05:58:54] the early people are not yet here, so i am alone [05:59:22] joker batman [05:59:36] Inner Light, Darmok, City on the edge of tomorrow, pale Moonlight, in a mirror darkly [05:59:41] I guess are my top five [05:59:44] have you ever seen the devil dance in the pale moon light [05:59:47] ah inner light and darmok are among my favorites [05:59:59] Althego: jalad, arms open [06:00:04] original series? [06:00:14] Sometimes my dad and I will communicate in that style [06:00:42] David, on the terrace, bathsheba is seen. < You can break it down multiple ways [06:00:44] once i saw people talk like that with memes here [06:00:50] King David at rest [06:01:00] Or with the second half, it's about temptation [06:01:31] Leonidas, at the pass. [06:01:39] wait, is it even a workday [06:01:51] monday [06:01:53] Ramsay, the lamb is raw. [06:01:58] that doesnt say [06:02:00] anything [06:02:03] This is to denote rage [06:02:09] because of the stupid workday shifting [06:02:15] transitbiker: city on the edge of tomorrow is TOS [06:02:24] no, saturday was workday, but next monday is not [06:02:25] -elaborate shrug emoticon- [06:02:35] The other episodes are DS9, TNG, and Enterprise [06:02:51] cool :D [06:02:53] People like to Poo on enterprise but there are a few fantastic gems in there [06:03:06] Oh. I forgot the Year of Hell [06:03:12] Best voyager episodes [06:04:42] ooooo no way he does a cover?! [06:05:02] o hard times again no more [06:05:02] Other than that, my workday starts soon, my washing machine broke, a close friend of mine passed away, I have my coffee [06:05:19] Coffee is good. [06:05:37] Washing machine is repairable, just needs a new seal around the hatch [06:05:38] well, keep your fire stoked and a full head of steam for the grades of life to come yet [06:06:00] I can't fix my friend though. Though I wish I could have. [06:07:03] people are complicated, not only in their acting nature, but also i their physical function, many parts that can break [06:08:31] in this anime style movie called "steamboy" they find water in a cave with properties that allow water to be stored as steam at otherwise impossibly high pressures and densities [06:08:56] kind of like a high energy battery [06:09:03] in a small black ball [06:09:22] it was good, but i didnt like steampunk darth vader :) [06:09:33] i'm guessing it's some kind of iron alloy [06:09:45] maybe even titanium [06:10:05] how's moving castle was good, all the steam powered vehicles [06:10:11] howl's* [06:12:12] what to build [06:12:29] manned orbital tugs [06:13:09] but in nausicaa there is no vehicle that is not a plane, so it is bettre. ok, there is a tank, or more likely an assault gun, but that is not primarily a vehicle [06:13:34] everything is flight based, yeah [06:14:02] some seem steam powered, others internal combustion or electric [06:18:09] transitbiker: it's part of why I like doing mechanic work. The problem can be fixed, parts replaced. People aren't nearly as simple. Though in my friend's case, she didn't have any problems. Just a tragic accident. [06:18:40] the importance of backups cant be stressed enough. we cant make backups of people (yet) [06:18:54] Can't even go to the funeral on time [06:19:16] Worst yet, she was engaged to my best friend. So it's this weird double edged sword [06:19:18] too complicated to repair from accident [06:20:13] hold fast lest the tempest of life toss you on the rocks [06:29:20] well, that worked [06:37:21] though i will likely use the smaller lander can in future designs [07:12:15] Rokker, heavenly handgun lol http://cdn.trinixy.ru/pics5/20160531/weapon_meteorite_08.jpg [07:55:03] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Technicalfool' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [08:16:10] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [09:01:43] http://www.spacedaily.com/reports/Eye_in_the_Sky_Bill_Gates_Backs_Real_Time_Global_Satellite_Surveillance_Network_999.html [09:06:22] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [11:02:37] https://78.media.tumblr.com/4c89f3de431f273385dfad7f9b001ff7/tumblr_oost80K2bD1vtxgwao1_540.jpg [11:13:33] Took me some time to figure out what's wrong with that picture, hehe [11:19:13] im not exactly sure but I think 30g of rocket fuel fill 4cm of rocket tube [11:23:48] hehe, cat medicine [11:24:32] Fluburtur: What's the density of the fuel, and what's the diameter of the rocket tube? [11:24:46] diameter is 23mm, density idk [11:24:51] I need to calculate it [11:25:08] Because I am pretty sure 30 kg of solid fuel are not enough for 4 cm of SLS rocket tube [11:25:17] btw entropy 8 test fire tonight [11:25:25] Action: APlayer is watching [11:25:36] mostly because I need to get rid of the mk3 nozzle I have [11:25:52] will use a fully cored one in an attempt to generate a lot of presure [11:32:29] time to go cook [11:33:03] Althego: that's a rather paranoid take on bill gates and that company [11:46:40] Uh... I had no idea that struts were so buggy [11:46:54] I'm using them decoratively as railings and they keep disappearing [11:48:08] hehe [11:48:16] sometimes if they dont find the other side [11:48:54] These were already placed though [11:49:17] I go and edit something else on the craft and some of the struts disconnect on one side [11:55:51] Althego: I mean real time picture from space has some pretty important uses [11:56:07] like discovering wormholes [11:56:13] Action: Rokker stares at MH17 [11:56:35] wait... wrong mh [11:56:45] MH370 [11:57:49] lol [12:01:54] k loaded a new tube with 28g of fuel [12:34:28] lol https://twitter.com/AFP/status/988388803864915968 [12:35:35] sandbox: Palace is an awful name [12:57:12] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/405528003997859842/437960102482542595/DSC_8811.JPG [13:04:21] Fluburtur: Next test subject? [13:04:27] yes [13:17:21] test fire in a few minutes [13:22:07] stream it! [13:22:10] :D [13:30:48] too late [13:30:55] will do that when I get to more powerful stuff [13:31:02] on a side note, this one was a success [13:32:36] Nice! [13:32:40] Looking forward to the video [13:33:03] I think I need to make my fuel mix mor oxydizer rich however [13:33:10] lots of weird deposits on the nozzle [13:34:22] I guess more powerful fuel can only be good [13:37:36] looks like I got a peak of 110g of thrust [13:39:26] I got a very clean ignition at least [13:39:36] holding the ignition charge down with some cotton fluff [13:40:58] anyways that was the last mk3 nozzle test, the mk4 should provide more thrust and with the revised fuel mix it should burn cleaner [13:44:14] Mat2ch https://youtu.be/LZyetSBzSrI [13:45:01] Fluburtur: making rockets? [13:45:06] yes [13:45:40] https://youtu.be/H7yYmxzZOoc [13:49:15] https://youtu.be/tmJSL4__8tk [13:52:48] nozzle held up very well [13:52:53] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/405528003997859842/437974086237290497/DSC_8818.JPG [13:52:57] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/405528003997859842/437974101328658434/DSC_8819.JPG [13:53:05] but im not sure what the weird matter is [13:53:18] it doesn't burn or melt and glow red when heated [13:53:21] and smells bad [13:53:41] your rocket has been abducted by aliens [13:53:42] im not sure it is sugar, maybe molten epoxy glue? [13:53:43] obviously [13:54:20] what's that white stuff flying out of it? [13:54:30] that's what im asking [13:54:47] probably sugar actually, it is rather brittle [13:54:59] yeah next one will be oxydizer rich [13:55:13] but if it's sugar it should burn and turn black [13:55:53] idk what is it then [13:56:24] could be some reaction with the glue [13:56:41] im not sure epoxy reacts like that [13:58:20] the burn actually started fairly clean [13:59:56] I love that you can see the spark of the lighter at the beginning :D [14:00:07] And you need one of those lighters with a long neck [14:00:23] I have one but it is crap [14:01:04] what do you mix in with the sugar? [14:01:20] potassium nitrate [14:02:13] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [14:02:47] what happens if you put the white stuff in water? [14:03:02] the combustion started at the bottom of the rocket so it's possible it made mix more at the top melt [14:03:07] idk lemme see [14:04:00] breaks more easily [14:04:06] I will let is soak for a while [14:04:37] the it could be just potassium nitrate [14:04:56] but how [14:05:05] it was perfectly mixed with the sugar [14:05:31] and it was fuel rich so it should have used more nitrate than sugar anyways [14:05:35] Maybe the sugar got burned away and it stayed? [14:05:43] would be weird [14:05:46] *stayed behind [14:06:01] Try a more oxidizer rich run [14:06:05] yeah [14:06:13] and see what happens :) [14:06:19] I have some of my current mix left, will make a smoke with it then [14:06:28] and mix more fuel with the new ratio [14:06:38] What ration are you mixing anyway? [14:06:44] And what kind of sugar are you using? [14:07:13] powdered white sugar, 60% potassium nitrate and 40% sugar [14:07:27] not sur eit is the right kind of sugar but I don't have any better [14:09:20] oh, in powdered sugar often has corn starch inside [14:10:58] apparently this can be used as fuel too [14:11:14] anyways, im set on oxydizer rich mix for the next one [14:27:16] Althego you missed the test [14:27:31] did it blow up? [14:27:34] no [14:27:44] https://youtu.be/LZyetSBzSrI [14:27:53] then it is of little consequence :) [14:28:40] seems to be working [14:28:44] but too little flame [14:29:26] https://youtu.be/H7yYmxzZOoc [14:29:30] https://youtu.be/tmJSL4__8tk [14:29:41] well I do want the fire to be inside [14:29:45] to generate presure [14:30:10] it would have increased more if there had been more fuel [14:34:16] 150 m/s in a boat is scary [14:35:34] hehe [14:35:40] that is almsot the speed of sound [14:35:45] er half of the [14:35:51] Yeah :) [14:36:19] seaplanes are technically boats :p [14:36:23] Was accelerating steadily up to this speed but now it's bobbing up and down [14:36:40] seems like in reality they made that record too lol [14:36:42] ...which is even more terrifying [14:36:46] 511 km/h [14:36:55] 160 m/s now [14:36:58] is that hydrofoils? [14:37:03] Truga, yeah [14:37:07] at that point my boat always takes off [14:37:09] yeah that makes sense [14:37:24] because only the tips are in the water [14:37:30] Ouch, now it cartwheeled [14:37:34] hehe [14:37:36] hehe [14:37:41] expected as much [14:37:44] Pilot survived :) [14:37:50] the reason why people dont survive water landings [14:37:51] well on the other hand [14:38:12] there's ~400km/h torpedoes :v [14:39:31] https://youtu.be/6mg0UsFRfig [14:39:35] this was some time ago [14:42:38] typical, as soon as i link one of my related videos, conversaion dies out. they cant be that horrible [14:42:54] Sorry I can't watch videos right now [14:42:54] hehe [14:43:20] i'm technically at work so I lose focus :v [14:43:28] video is fine tho [14:43:43] anyway i crashed this ship too [14:43:46] hehe [14:43:52] fall into tiny pieces [14:47:44] mhhhh https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/236560222133551104/437987827846742029/20180423164627_1.jpg [14:47:47] Flight 370 was operated with a Boeing 777 [...]. It was the 404th Boeing 777 produced, [...] [14:47:53] Does that explain things? [14:47:54] oh no [14:47:56] still flying [14:48:09] error 404 :) [14:48:19] zero shot my wing off [14:48:23] "Aircraft not found" [14:49:48] haha [14:50:04] what about 403? [14:50:05] have they found anything at all from mh370? [14:50:18] nobody can board it or what [14:52:56] they found a few panels washed up in madagascar or somewhere [14:53:11] that side of the ocean anyway [14:55:07] yeah that makes sense [14:58:46] Fluburtur: Do you have a stock of chemicals? [14:58:56] yeah [15:00:04] You could test the grey deposits, then [15:00:14] What was your fuel made of? [15:00:24] grey alien deposit :) [15:00:25] sugar and potassium nitrarte [15:00:33] it is the first one that does that [15:01:08] If it was sugar, it should caramelise when heated [15:01:24] With sulfuric acid, it should turn black [15:01:40] I don't think I have that [15:02:04] Well, it should get brown if you heat it, anyway [15:02:13] stays white [15:02:21] Then it's not sugar [15:03:26] or sugar just didnt burn :) [15:03:50] Fluburtur: Do you have steel rods? [15:04:04] probably [15:04:19] this would lend itself to a silly joke easily [15:05:00] the deposits completely dissolved in water [15:05:05] probably nitrate then [15:06:10] Probably it is [15:06:19] but that's weird [15:06:39] that means if I mix my fuel with more nitrate it won't work better [15:08:41] i guess it is hard to hit completely stoichiometric ratios [15:09:11] 60/40 to 65/35 seems to be the sweet spot for rocket candy [15:12:42] How much did you use in this test? [15:12:52] 28 grams [15:12:56] my usual load [15:13:05] I always do around 30 [15:15:02] No, I mean the ratio, heh [15:15:13] 60/40 [15:15:30] 22 grams, the mass of the soul :) [15:15:43] The soul of the rocket [15:18:13] i need to read this some time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Soul_of_a_New_Machine [16:55:39] TIL Guns, Germs, and Steel was a Pulitzer Prize [16:59:46] question [16:59:55] can you use vacuum tubes in space but without the tubes [17:00:06] of course [17:00:18] why not? [17:00:40] tubes might interfere with each other [17:00:45] but would be fun to try [17:01:05] you can put up walls between them [17:01:17] still les than the whole closed glass [17:02:11] no [17:02:12] nothing [17:02:22] only the metal parts [17:09:30] TIL there was a hijacked flight where a co-pilot locked out the pilot and diverted the plane to a different country to request asylum [17:09:46] "Request asylum in style" [17:11:28] Fluburtur: but vacuum tubes have a thin gas in them right? [17:11:42] well you want to have the least possible [17:11:50] but some of them have some to make them glow colors [17:12:03] mostly in guitar amps to look cool [17:12:26] the dudes that make tubes degas them before sealing the tube [17:12:42] heat up the metal parts with an induction heater to remove all the gas [17:39:41] so... The guitar amp vaccum tubes may well be just crappy neon lights with cheap transitors hidden in them and most people would not notice the difference? [17:44:53] i think there are headphone amps like that [17:48:11] ... I should try looking up on Aliexpress if there is that sort of stuff [17:48:47] Althego: for a second there, I had the vision of a pair of beat headphones with giant lamps on each ear [17:49:09] no, it is a box with 2 tubes [17:49:47] "You look like a rabbit with those stupid headphone"... "Maybe, but they sound awesome!"... "Hum... thoses lamps are fake btw" [17:50:01] ve2dmn: That would be Edison Headphones [17:50:45] So it was no my imagination? [17:52:57] Of course, thoses cat headphones also came to mind... [17:53:30] i remember the brainwave controlled cat ears [17:53:39] Neko Mimi [17:53:51] supposedly react to mood [17:57:11] imagine a rocket controller with that kind of interface [17:58:02] You insult the pilot over the radio and the whole thing goes crazy [17:59:42] lol "it's by caffeine alone i set my mind in motion" (was will alone in dune) [18:13:20] https://78.media.tumblr.com/6b5635c7490324f821553ddca0e11374/tumblr_inline_o0s2jrp9EE1qkd73z_540.jpg [18:47:58] https://i.gyazo.com/2d091dddd6c52d3bbd402426dd7d3125.jpg [18:48:15] blue sun?

[18:57:28] Neat [19:00:43] That looks a bit like f(x) = x sin x [19:01:43] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:03:08] Also, /me is surprised to know that Cassiopeia still works from a neighbouring star system [19:05:16] Is there a way to take the same picture from Sol and see the parallax effect, Draconiator? [19:05:53] If you gave me the other picture for comparison, I'd rig up some comparison [19:09:55] Hmmm. [19:10:06] I'll see if I can do that.

[19:43:31] Thanks guys [19:43:40] The view from the cockpit is absolutely terrifying [19:44:11] Interestingly, in spite of numerous spectacular crashes in testing, not one death [19:44:12] "The view from the cockpit is absolutely terrifying" is one of the best reviews for KSP i've ever heard. [19:44:19] haha [19:46:43] guess I need to make a race boat too now [19:47:00] is it still possible to make hypersonic submarine? [19:47:55] it used to be perfectly safe to go hypersonic as long as you didn't touch either the ground or the surface [19:48:35] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:48:47] oren, sounds like old aero, but submarines weren't really feasible back then, so I don't know what version that was [19:49:19] Deddly: IIRC it was in like 1.0.5 that I did it [19:49:20] Highest speed 199 m/s [19:49:38] I need to inspect your boat [19:49:42] for safety reasons [19:49:49] lol Fluburtur [19:49:51] totally not to see how it works [19:50:02] I'm still refining it though [19:50:19] basically it was a ssto that I filled with ore and sank to the bottom of the katlantic [19:51:08] Kakifik Okean?
