[02:59:21] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v erio' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [07:50:03] hi, anyone here? [08:56:17] I don't have seconds turned on, so I can't tell how long that guest was in here [08:56:57] from 49:23 to 52:43 [08:57:04] more than 3 minues [08:57:07] must be a new recors [08:59:27] It all says 01:54 on my end ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ [09:01:46] the clock may be off [09:01:53] because windows just cant use ntp [09:01:56] it is set up [09:02:03] doesnt do it unless i click it by hand [09:02:12] but the duration is correc [09:02:13] t [09:03:01] 2 minutes and 45 seconds [10:24:27] where's our greeting bot? :P [10:25:16] that is useless anyway [11:16:48] So, a well trained neural net that fools them until a real human comes along? [11:17:41] Oh no, Mad Mike is dead. [11:17:52] Now he can watch from above that the earth is round. [11:19:29] a flat earther that did something noteworthy [11:20:03] wait, actually died while trying to launch a rocket? [11:20:23] Well, he got up, but the parachute didn't open [11:20:48] and he didn't bring a spare it seems [11:21:10] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Hughes_(daredevil)#Death [11:35:12] check your staging [11:36:03] Mat2ch: the parachute opened at launch and detached. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bmq_lV3Va9Q [11:36:03] YouTube - Mad Mike Hughes Last Launch, 02/22/2020 #BlackSwanDive [11:41:40] packbart: oh, you are right [11:43:29] looks so kerbal [11:48:35] He could have boarded a plane and get higher... [11:51:47] https://halojumper.com/products/halo-over-heaven-and-hell-32000-ft-extreme-tandem [11:52:09] 10 km should be high enough to see the earths curve... [11:52:30] Fluburtur: Fluburtur Fluburtur [11:52:44] you need to get in touch with someone who works in marketing [11:52:59] your props are great, but you need somebody who knows how to sell them :) [11:53:04] you cant really see it while jumping out of an airplane [11:54:23] we have to wait a few years for those space tourist contracts :) [12:37:15] 1337 [12:39:37] Althego: few years? I bet at the end of this year or start of the next year we will see SpaceX fly their first tourists... [12:39:48] ah yes if we are lucky [12:40:05] technically it is going to be ready for action after the first crewed test flight [12:40:19] but the competitors are really not even close [12:40:37] the person recording shortly before launch "you just y'know, you just strap yourself in, today's the day I may die" [12:40:45] even though some of them are for suborbital flights and working on it much longer [12:52:15] It's the workplace mentality [12:52:31] ever wondered why you see so many young people at SpaceX? [12:52:40] Alsmost nobody from the boomer generation? [12:54:58] SpaceX and Tesla are managed like a sports team. You want the best people, but you want them to be able to play in a team [12:55:21] so sometimes you just don't go for the best players, but those who are best for the team [12:57:42] "60-year-olds tend to not be interested in a work/life ratio of infinity, so Silly Valley firms don't hire them." [12:58:07] ^ok, so Hawthorne is at the other end of CA, but that's a more plausible explanation to me [12:58:59] no, no, the younger generation is interested in a good work/life ratio. That's why it is so important to have a job that is not considered as "work" in the old meaning [12:59:14] Young people are excited to do cool stuff, don't have family commitments, and prestige/CV enhancement is more valuable than pay [12:59:14] and that's all about meaning [12:59:44] ehm, have you read the job offerings lately? They can pretty much chose where to work [12:59:52] there are so many open positions... [13:00:44] and if building rockets is your hobby... well, you're not really working then [13:01:28] (but on the other side everyone is telling you to ask for a decent pay, so you get a decent pay...) [13:01:52] That sounds like something a young person would say :P [13:01:59] Mat2ch I feel the exact same way [13:02:06] Action: FLHerne being one, but still... [13:04:00] Mat2ch: The point is that young engineers can put "I worked at SpaceX" on their CV, and that's worth more in the long run than a significant pay increment in the short term [13:04:33] For someone approaching retirement with lots of background already, that's much less true [13:05:33] FLHerne: do you really think that way? [13:05:43] Fluburtur: you are a special case :) [13:06:00] Mat2ch: It's sort of obvious? [13:06:49] not for me here [13:07:19] because I'd rather do a job that is fun than one I wouldn't like just because it may look good on the CV [13:07:41] (actually nobody really looks anymore at the companies what you worked, but what you have done there and if this is useful or not) [13:11:18] funny thing, the job reference paper you get here in Germany is not worth the paper it's printed on... [13:11:39] so nobody cares about them anymore [13:12:11] sad when paper becomes less valuable [13:12:13] ;) [13:12:54] hrhr [13:13:09] hmm, danny in 1.9 [13:26:24] alright, i'm gonna stick with this savegame for the next 15 in-game years [13:27:40] my aim will be to build a self-sustainable base on both Duna and Laythe [13:37:37] mach 1 is like 350m/s yeah? [13:38:04] depends on altitude but somewhere around that, I seem to remember [13:38:25] that's where my rockets like to flip out [13:38:32] yeah [13:38:33] Action: darsie always goes with 333 m/s. [13:38:44] Action: Mat2ch too [13:39:12] Action: packbart goes by the white graphics effects [13:39:17] this way you can count pretty easily the seconds between the lightning and the thunder and know who far away it was [13:39:37] don't count if it happens both almost at the same time. ;) [13:40:00] lightning is so fascinating [13:40:06] Like when someone threatens you with stun gun. [13:41:32] the cattle prod is a staple tool of old BOFH stories [13:44:57] uh, Danny... I'm waiting for him to find all the bugs! [13:47:35] for now he could change the terrain a bit [13:58:02] Which looked only just a bit weird ;) [14:02:23] it was underwhelming [14:02:29] didnt even destroy a single planet [14:11:43] also yeah, 10km might be a little too low [14:30:04] im on 1.9.0.2781 (steam) on windows 10, and im having some light issues since the latest steam update. [14:30:27] when i visit for instance minmus, i can see far away "zones" (the big squares that makes the terrain" flash light and dark several times a second [14:33:35] im trying to fiddle with the graphics settings, but i cant find anything that seems to change the behaviour [14:35:43] oh my god it solved itself it the best way possibly [14:35:51] crash? [14:36:11] increased my terrain detail to max and it worked. it also increased my fps from ~15 to vsync 60. [15:17:08] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hSRgXeieR3k Mike Hughes launched himself with a steam powered rocket to prove that the ground is flat. He died [15:17:17] Check yo staging [17:42:46] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGmhtV2N-a8 nom nom nom [17:48:52] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8W09_EL0AY [17:48:52] YouTube - Look out for that.....TREE!!! Tator Team Daisy-Chain Recovery [18:10:12] Althego: looks like a shitty day for all parties... [18:10:58] Action: UmbralRaptop fines Mat2ch one (1) credit [18:11:08] in the next one i was watching they have to right a waste water tanker [18:11:25] with you know, stuff, in it [18:11:54] oh, puns [18:12:49] where [18:14:02] misread waste water? [18:14:17] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-6zOCujTok [18:14:20] YouTube - Rollover Tanker!!! What a Load of Crap -py Water [18:14:58] Yeah, that [18:20:38] why do american trucks have these ugly external air filters? I really like flat nose trucks better [18:21:29] packbart: they have round analog instruments still, too [18:21:32] it's a truckers thing [18:22:03] Action: packbart is just a Truck Simulator trucker :) [18:22:03] analog gauges are still used in airplanes, even i they are on an lcd display [18:22:08] if [18:27:29] Analog gauges are supposed to be better about jitter [18:41:23] hehe, numberphile, 17 klein bottle [18:42:20] UmbralRaptop: depends. I can build you a digital gauge that looks the same, but has way more functions [18:44:44] if you are looking for zero volume one sided r3 immersed not embedded klein bottles, there is plenty to explore with glass [20:23:24] GA aircraft might have the old steam gauges but any modern airliner (re: 1990's and onward) likely don't [20:23:52] even the 737NG's standby instrument is just a small digital display [20:27:02] https://youtu.be/ae20L78imO4?t=124 [20:28:13] anything on the DU's is just a graphics rendering. It could do anything the computer tells it to do [20:28:20] 100% digital [20:28:45] of course. but it has nedles just as the analog onese [21:16:04] fair enough [21:54:12] hi [21:54:25] how can I opt out of the bot autoreplies? [21:56:27] Alternate greetings? [23:35:42] hello [23:35:46] not that one [23:36:53] As-salāmu ʿalaykum [23:36:59] works [23:37:22] means "Peace be upon you". allegedly [23:55:18] almost had it [23:55:34] turns out my space shuttle isn't stable when reentering
