[00:13:24] &,9).' [00:13:24] <UniOfSurrey> We are blown away by these stunning images of RemoveDEBRIS! Î Î Find out more about the mission:& https://t.co/e1N7na5Pbe [00:20:53] "flying cube" more like a cubesat or more like a borg cube? [00:21:59] Yes [01:51:21] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [01:51:38] Evening, Gentlemen. [03:52:01] eyo [04:59:17] hm, about the only thing i can see in the sky tonight is a very bright red star to the south. is that jupiter? [05:00:31] i thought it was a plane or something but it didnt move [05:01:31] i might need to dig out the telescope from storage [05:02:37] could be saturn, its supposed to be visible all month [05:11:38] South sounds like Antares. [05:11:53] (well, south + red) [05:12:51] how does one look it up? [05:14:07] Generally with some star charts, a planisphere, or an app like Sky Map (on Android) [05:14:27] Where are you, roughly? [05:14:54] nova scotia [05:17:15] hm. Mars should be up. Probably near max altitude. [05:18:34] double mun encounter all the way across the skyyy [05:18:40] https://i.imgur.com/FiRwjkE.png [05:19:08] and it the next orbit is almost exactly the same [05:20:24] it just occurred to me that Nova Scotia is latin for new scotland.. [05:20:41] it is [05:21:28] always thought it was french because it's by french canada and also because I never gave it more than 10 seconds of thought at a time [05:22:36] unrelated astronomy https://asunow.asu.edu/20180625-discoveries-are-we-alone-asu-scientists-developing-strategies-search-life-exoplanets [05:23:10] we deported our french in 1755 [05:23:20] you're welcome for louisiana [05:23:31] ISS Urine Tank Level: 11% [05:24:02] heh i cant believe this, it's business time still wasnt lanuched [05:24:50] mabus: Yay, jambalaya. [05:25:00] gumbo [05:25:10] poboy [05:25:18] mmhmm [05:25:20] also yay for those [05:26:01] absinthe [05:26:17] thx [05:27:15] thats probably the 1 place in usa that i havent been but want to go to most [05:27:50] food, history, mardi gras. something for everyone. [05:33:36] https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/night/ ok this seems to be the best resource i have found so far [05:37:08] still not sure how to be sure [05:39:26] no compass [05:39:43] fourmilab.ch/YourSky [05:39:46] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.stardroid [05:40:11] no smartphone right now [05:40:18] i could never get this to work on the s7 [05:40:24] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.planetdroid [05:40:30] blarg [05:40:31] or rather it works but the compass is always off whatever i do [05:42:15] mars, thanks the fourmilab map is pretty neat [05:43:25] yay [05:48:09] any monsters around? [05:49:48] Just a few cacodemons and barons. [05:51:01] did we recommend Stellarium? [05:51:08] free, open source, cross-platform [05:55:43] i'll take it, thanks [05:56:38] We did not, but we should. [06:00:25] ill have to dig out the telescope to get a better view tomorrow [06:01:38] this looks infinitely easier than using my telescope computer [08:21:34] i was in an observatory in the late 90s, and back then they used a computer from the 80s and a software equally as old to align their telescope [08:21:42] i wouldn't be surprised if they still used that [08:32:09] hehe [08:32:15] forefront of science [08:32:28] well [08:32:40] 80s computers will probably never get old and die [08:32:55] and software that runs on such a computer has less bugs by definition [08:33:03] since it has to be simpler to even load [08:34:15] well, but even space maps will need to be maintained and updated [10:39:20] that's just data [11:01:39] uhm, yeah, but in some weird binary format, and where do you get a DD-format 3½" disk from if your existing ones break? [11:06:16] go back to audio tapes ;) [11:08:20] plenty of floppies flosting around still [11:17:07] Eddi|zuHause: I can give you one. [11:18:14] some secret service allegedly uses them so it's more obvious if someone steals data, like in the movie Red Sparrow. [11:32:19] uhm, yeah, you don't want anyone sticking random USB sticks into any "secret" computer :p [11:38:31] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [11:42:21] never not epoxy all the usb ports [11:57:55] heh. Floppies. 8", 5.25". and 3.5". I still have disks, and drives for all of them [11:58:15] i trashed all that junk a couple years ago [11:58:17] :v [11:58:44] I keep 2 of each drive. Saved a local business using them about 2 years ago [11:59:15] i have a few drives, but none attached to any computer i'm actually using [11:59:26] yeah, mine are in a box too [12:00:05] How do you connect them to contemporary mainboards? I doubt they have a floppy connector. [12:00:48] IDE to USB adapter [12:00:51] i think they do... at least 5 years ago [12:01:10] that and I keep a few really old machines around [12:01:19] floppy is IDE? [12:01:26] not really [12:01:27] a form of, yes [12:01:39] not the same connector though [12:02:09] i haven't seen a floppy to usb connector, but i assume they exist [12:02:24] yep [12:03:18] a lot of older milling and cutting machines still exist on production floors. Somebody has to maintain them :) [12:06:06] lol [12:06:36] there was an older laser cutter here which required floppy to put programs in it [12:08:33] like, it had its own desktop PC which run DOS which did not support mouse so the easiest way to make a program for it was to make it in some other program, copy it to floppy and transfer it [12:08:44] you can run it with only a keyboard [12:08:54] yep, a lot of that still goes on [12:09:13] I keep some really old hardware and software around for such things [12:09:32] add the malfunctioning solenoid valve which required the operator to hit the place where it was to engage it to lower the cutter before it starts [12:44:05] https://imgur.com/gallery/nccq30S [12:45:10] GlassYuri, lol [12:48:32] Éb4 [12:49:03] is that a musical note? [12:58:45] no it was supposed to be switch to buffer 4 [13:08:56] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Dman979' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [13:13:36] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [14:17:56] hah, i found the showdown of the century: flat earth vs geocentrism [14:18:30] two negatives dont make it right, but make it hilarious [14:20:33] how about hollow earth? [14:21:09] volcanos are a ruse [14:21:39] and as we all know, one man's ruse is another man's keikaku [14:21:55] there must be some, but i havent seen that kind of debate yet [14:22:43] But you would be suprised: the type of people who believe in flat earth is ALSO the type of people who believe in other things [14:23:15] flat earth owns [14:23:18] Typically they believe that they have been told a lie [14:23:31] to be fair though [14:23:40] truth is always in the middle so obviously earth is a cube [14:23:44] And will prefer to believe any nonsense rather then the 'official story' [14:23:59] cube? maybe polygonal spheroid :) [14:24:02] Cube? A TIMECube? [14:24:06] hehehe [14:24:12] that website is a word salad [14:24:19] haha [14:25:12] I'm sure you could come up with a Timecube-website-generator [14:25:19] they have [14:25:28] and it was exactly the same as the timecube [14:25:46] the babel library? [14:26:21] sorry library of babel [15:21:30] When i think I've seen everything, the internet always seem to get weirder [15:27:17] Action: UmbralRaptor suggests Francis Dec, Archimedes Pluto nium, or Gregorio Baquero next? [15:27:54] Actually the last one is too close to normal. How about Gabor Feket? [15:32:04] It's a bit like entropy... there is no end to how much there can be... and when you think there can be no more, there is always more [15:33:46] On a less disturbing note, what about Markov chains generating recipes, dnd monsters, etc? [15:34:10] i once put fourth stimpire and john galt speech into a markov bot and that owned [15:35:12] fourth stimpire [15:35:22] it's a star citizen thing [15:35:24] don't google it [15:35:32] it's terrible and horrible and bad [15:35:40] ah [15:35:48] (much like the john galt speech) [15:36:56] snarxiv.org is fun [15:38:18] UmbralRaptor: Huh? [15:38:19] Did you know that in 1956, 0% of Canadian parents refuse to give thier child the Polio Vacination out of fear of Autism? [15:38:39] sounds about right [15:39:11] APlayer: silly bot generated abstracts. [15:39:43] I like http://inspirobot.me/ [15:40:33] not even copiable [15:40:53] btw it said to me: "whenever you seek a life, think of what it means to behave despicable" [15:41:12] you mean, like this? http://generated.inspirobot.me/081/aXm9917xjU.jpg [15:41:25] or this http://generated.inspirobot.me/080/aXm5124xjU.jpg ? [15:41:42] i dont need the image [15:41:50] and... best one so far: http://generated.inspirobot.me/080/aXm7787xjU.jpg [15:41:53] i want the text [15:41:58] yet it is that what it cant do [15:42:07] https://i.imgur.com/UjOeuhC.jpg [15:42:09] lmao [15:43:21] .... [15:43:40] coal is still around [15:44:03] friend pointed out an ad on our transit system some years back... from power company, "Internet - Your welcome" [15:44:06] yes, sadly coal is [15:44:20] your? intentionally? [15:45:20] I would have found another item for the periodic table instead of coal... [15:45:27] from* [15:46:06] radioactive strontium? [15:47:02] ... hydrogen... [15:51:00] :3 [15:52:54] maybe some oxygen thrown in... but who's to say [16:37:20] Hello [16:37:29] Can you help me? [16:39:13] heh [16:39:49] bot cannot help [16:40:49] Not much help possible with no time or info. [16:42:53] no patients? [16:43:27] ... doh.. I mean patience [17:39:26] On a less disturbing note, what about Markov chains generating recipes, dnd monsters, etc? <-- just like procedural world generation, it just feels bland after the first few times [17:47:07] https://i.imgur.com/HdFj8tY.jpg [17:47:55] Any news on the NZ launch in 6h? is it gonna happen? [17:47:55] Thus a frog or two feasted well that night... [18:04:58] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/236560222133551104/461230362689929216/20180626200244_1.jpg [18:06:04] close call! [18:06:45] it actually hit my tail [18:07:01] that's like the only proper way to kill a long fock wulfe [18:08:21] https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/715283092358351192/C5F0BF1CF6B1C5EDBAED6C9EC36FEBE8A418657F/ [18:13:04] never trust anyone who has "friendly" in their name :p [18:19:50] heh [18:35:52] I need to research two planes and then I can start researching the jets [18:36:01] Rokker the vautout will be mine [18:36:05] vautour* [19:02:52] can someone explain to me what this actually does besides play old Atari games? https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/atari-vcs-game-stream-connect-like-never-before-family-computers#/ [19:05:25] nothing? [19:17:08] https://imgur.com/gallery/nccq30S [19:17:34] so it's essentially a steam console with an atari branding? [19:17:56] APlayer: repost! [19:20:07] Fine quality and new to me, though ;-) [19:27:29] that idiegogo project sounds like Ouya 2.1b-patch4 [19:31:55] APlayer, well that just means that people here have similar mindsets [19:42:53] https://twitter.com/astrotweeps/status/1011639402085281793 [19:42:54] What Trojan targets are we exploring?

[20:04:23] and that electron should just launch this time [20:04:59] Althego: is it confirmed or not? [20:05:38] confirmed what? [20:06:09] Electron launch [20:06:19] it is still counting down [20:06:23] more than 4 hours [20:07:23] looks so kerbal https://twitter.com/RocketLab/status/1011361522897940480 [20:07:24] <RocketLab> T-1 day. #ItsBusinessTime Î Another stunning snap at Launch Complex 1 from @Kieran__Fanning https://t.co/XNwMFzMYuO [20:08:26] tomorrow i am still without mobile net. but after that, i am unlimited! [20:21:22] hehe scott breaking your craft in video, that is a badge [20:21:37] e used some from the new steam integrated whatever feature [20:22:06] The Heli? [20:23:10] and some reentry later [20:42:39] I should get myself a SDR [20:42:53] only problem, those don't go to very high frequencies [20:50:03] Fluburtur: some people had RC planes at the air show [20:50:13] on the ground tho [20:50:20] was it nice ones? [20:50:42] I thought the Fw 190 looked nice [20:54:01] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/DVRlKXBM/20180624_121929.jpg [20:54:08] Fluburtur: ^ [20:54:25] looks like a foamy [20:54:36] it is [20:54:48] those are nice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiFZ0E12TV8 [20:54:48] YouTube - Rc FW-190 with Moki 250cc Radial Engine [20:54:55] Fluburtur: there were some other ones with like real combustion engines and stuff too [21:43:01] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget|zzzz' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [22:35:48] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v erio' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [23:07:10] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [23:09:11] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v erio' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [23:43:33] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [23:43:42] Evening, Gentlemen.
