[00:13:09] ever looked up the word 'set' in the dictionary? :) [00:14:30] 464 definitions. Its a wonder it doesn't just dominate most sentences. [00:15:14] last time i checked, words distribution was logariphmic after most common ~1000-2000 [00:16:23] like, every 1000 words (dont remember exactly) would reduce amount of still not in the list words in text in half [00:17:00] 2000 words - 90% of the text, 3000 - 95%, 4000 - 97.5%, etc etc etc [00:17:15] checked it on a pretty large dataset [00:19:30] not sure i understand what you're saying [00:20:08] Action: JVFoxy don't knows.... [00:20:21] just happy I got a LKO station contract that doesn't pester for fuel [00:20:30] if you have a word list sorted by rarity [00:21:38] ah, i was talking about words that actually appear in the text [00:22:19] On the flip side... another contract shows up, wants a solar orbit station, 6000 fuel, 7500 power, and support for 9 kerbals... ugh [00:23:03] 6000 fuel is crazy if you're not mining it in place [00:23:31] the other stuff seems easy [00:24:00] 7500 power.. when all I got are the 200 unit batteries [00:24:17] 38 batteries... eh.. [00:24:57] mid career... technically I could upgrade R&D to level 2... or 3.. too easy [00:25:11] you can easily fit like 20 in one service bay [00:25:59] arg.. Jeb... go away. Robotic station about to go into orbit, Jeb sneaks into Mk1 command pod.. he's lucky I don't just retire him to some island [00:27:23] I'd rather wait.. take missions that don't call for high amounts. Bad enough keeps throwing me 6 rescue missions at once all the time [00:31:41] rescue missions are a good source of recruits [00:32:26] "rescue" missions [00:38:35] Action: JVFoxy looks at his roster... [00:38:51] since my last screen shot.. went from 11 to 14.. my max still 12 [00:40:11] wait.. correction.. 15, seems I forgot one was already on a mission, first station [00:40:32] hah [00:40:35] ok.. this is bad. I'm not one for killing kerbals... though I seem to be bad at forgetting where they are [00:43:07] Ooooh... speaking of forgetting... sigh. [00:43:24] there's a list in the astronaut complex? [00:43:59] the craft she went up in to the station, tiny bit of fuel in the booster, full tanks in the service module. Was from direct ascent to station [00:45:00] eddi|zuHause I was looking at available... I thought everyone was on the ground till I saw 1 in the assigned tab above. Just says Mk1 pod.. doesn't say the craft's name [01:00:22] someone ordered pizza? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CJWSaA0VAAAYhTE.png [01:33:40] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [02:07:07] So apparently winquake at 1280x1024 gets ~22 fps on an i7-7500U [02:07:18] I think this means computers are 10x faster than they were 20 years ago? [02:11:59] vs 2.2FPS 20 years ago? [02:12:08] I imagine a non-U processor would do much better [02:15:01] huh.. winquake [02:15:17] don't suppose you remember Tema fortress quake? [02:15:20] *team [02:16:19] Aware of it, never tried it. [02:16:48] My first experience with Team Fortress was TFC. [02:17:13] ya.. likewise [02:17:29] sorta mixed feelings on TF2 [02:21:45] Izaya: afraid that's my fastest available processor. [02:22:07] I'd try it on a 4790 but the "win" part of "winquake" poses a problem [02:22:32] I mean, I could try ressurecting a C2D E6600& [02:23:26] Yeah, it would be easier to poke at a Linux spurceport for some things.

I've got a question about modding, is this the right place to ask? [12:27:14] you can try but there is a modding channel too [12:27:35] Ah, could you point me in the right direction ? :) [12:27:57] and i never remember its name because it was split in two [12:28:46] maybe #kspmodders [12:41:37] oh, new music from The Prodigy. And it sounds like 1999 :D [12:42:18] party like it's 1999 [12:46:25] I'm partying like it's 2019! [12:46:28] :D [12:50:18] im partying like it's 2019 bc! [12:50:24] hehe [12:50:34] cant imagine what that could have been [12:50:48] only live music [12:51:00] alcohol existed [12:51:11] so probably people drank too [12:51:43] alchol is way older than farming [12:51:55] they thought it come from farming but theres recent discovery [12:56:31] something like farming shouldn't be tied to a single point in time, imho [12:57:01] theres some gray area between no farm (pure forage) and farming [12:57:17] like maybe figuring that some plants can grow more if parts of it is spread around [12:57:33] but alchol is very old, well outside that gray area [12:58:59] it occurs naturaly. same with fire. humans only invented uses for them. [12:59:18] of course [12:59:44] animals got drunk on rotten fruits long before humans [13:00:12] Althego: did you see eleplants and fruit? theyre getting around drunk [13:00:33] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybLqenH_0fE [13:00:33] YouTube - DRUNK ELEPHANTS!!!

[13:06:13] and rocket oxidizer [13:06:33] aw youre on las laughing tank [13:06:37] supposedly that is the pressurizing agent because carbon dioxide would make it sour [13:06:57] i could imagine argon too [13:07:29] define sour in this context? not sure what it means. pretty reasonably not literal taste. [13:07:56] it is. the gas would dissolve in the liquid making it sourt. just as a carbonated drink [13:08:32] btw https://i.redd.it/7462r7hljxp11.jpg [13:08:39] barely related [13:08:56] would it affect perforance? [13:24:29] what kind of performance. the whipped cream must taste good [13:25:02] sigh duh for me [13:25:09] I wa thinking in terms of rocketery [13:25:23] so I was wondering what sour meant in context of rocketery and perforance [13:25:32] hehe [13:26:00] tired lol work 10 hours then its 5 am [13:26:13] hehe only 10?

[19:44:52] eleven thousand parts? [19:45:07] mhm [19:45:10] lol [19:45:13] :) [19:46:33] :| [19:48:20] vut.. vhy? [19:48:54] Althego launching a warehouse are we? [19:49:12] i dont [19:49:26] sorry... darsie.. [19:49:41] Munar round trip with sepratrons? [19:49:49] hehe [19:49:55] stupid fridays... when you think Mondays are bad. Friday, just go stupid for moments because.. why not, its start of weekend [19:50:34] hehe [19:50:56] I could go through 5 BIG mugs of coffee and still wanna crawl into bed, sleep for a day. [19:51:06] test production always starts at friday afternoon :) [19:51:31] What is more annoying? Every morning, waking up on my back, only to end up with stupid sore back. Drag myself to shower, soak in hot water, ease back... [19:51:38] i havent worked in production for more than 10 years [19:52:08] but there are unforgettable moments [19:52:32] Meh.. I worked printing, more personalizing stuff, promo items. I was good at solving problems with the machines. Bad part of it, they expected you to work magic 125% of the time [19:53:50] customer wanted a print bigger than our machine can handle.. I even explained it. Was told, "you did it once before, do it again!" if the shop as actually climate controlled, I could. Laid me off instead [19:54:29] Althego unforgettable years as well [19:54:48] ... forgettable years... -face-keyboard- ugh.. [19:55:27] hehe happened to me. macimum board with 250mm on a dual lane, they wanted 253mm boards [19:55:37] i had to hand modify the machnes specially for this [19:55:57] never got anything for it [19:56:56] they wanted 5" print on 5" pad... curved surface.. I could have had a 8" pad.. it still come out warped because your surface is bent around. Bad enough they wanted intertwined two colors. [19:58:35] just happened by fluke I got one test print done 'almost' perfect.. (lets not get into the one guy who wanted 6 color prints. One main, 5 5mm leaves in different colors. Guess the only saving grace was larger tolerances) [19:59:19] Action: JVFoxy looks around for a candy bar... that 'you not your self when your hungry' commercial stuck in head now [20:07:19] Malachite: it's got more problems than just the panels. it's missing a few critical components [20:07:33] https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/AkShFLeT/20181228_133557.jpg [20:07:45] hehe [20:08:02] something is missing [20:09:23] Ah, it's a fanless duct [20:09:33] hehe [20:13:21] "magnetohydrodynamic drive" [20:13:47] i was thinking more along the lines of ion drive [20:13:51] advent of electric planes? [20:13:58] maybe because of the recent ion planething [20:14:09] sigh.. talk over here on news asbout death of fuel engines by 2040-2050 [20:14:23] in reality no technology ever dies [20:14:34] yes there are still steam engine trains around [20:14:42] 'fuel'... [20:14:46] doubt it [20:14:46] vinyl records [20:14:48] etc [20:14:57] batteries just dont have the energy density necessary [20:15:15] not yet anyway [20:15:25] what if we stored antimatter in a magnetic bottle? :) [20:15:30] idea of forcing everything electric, home and transportation... though I feeling maybe news is fear mongering. [20:15:38] antimatter would be a fuel :P [20:15:57] JVFoxy: more electric means more electric plants, which noone wants >_> [20:16:02] cant have your cake and eat it too [20:16:11] what is worse [20:16:11] hydrogen is fuel but makes water.. they wanna ban too? I think something funky going on [20:16:21] how would you power all those plug in car chargers? [20:16:34] for example i can draw a max of 10 amper here [20:16:38] Malachite west coast Canada here... powerplants = hdyro dams mostly [20:16:39] that is nothing for a cahrger [20:16:48] and even then it is not on ground level [20:16:55] how am i supposed to let the car charge? [20:17:05] and the elctric grid also needs an upgrade [20:17:49] the worst thing, the charging happens at a relly inconvenient time. everybody goes home, activates all devices, and plugs in the car to charge [20:17:58] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:18:11] upgrade grid? well... charge more for power, who cares if you drive everyone into ruines [20:18:13] solar is no solution for this, since this all happens in the evening [20:18:31] been problems here.. pay for power, or pay for food [20:20:02] and even if we stopped all carbon emissions right now, the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere stays there for some thousand years, warming up earth further [20:20:26] looks like an event horizon [20:20:44] btw planes create a lot more carbin dioxide [20:21:35] planes could be grounded till all are electric [20:21:46] hehe [20:21:48] not gooing to happen [20:21:53] been talk about carbon extractors.. [20:22:11] well already electric ultralights [20:22:21] i dont know about ships. although those might be surprisingly efficient moving a lot of cargo around [20:23:26] nuclear-electric ships :D [20:23:43] giant sails on cargo ships [20:24:01] that could work [20:24:03] they thought about nuclear cars, plans and trains.. all having shielding issues [20:24:06] worked for hundreds of years [20:24:24] like the sailing drones [20:24:54] https://www.marineinsight.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/skysail.jpg [20:25:12] looks crazy [20:25:39] I would /love/ a small sailboat myself [20:25:59] not a dingy.. but cabin with dual bed, sink/stove at least. [20:57:58] Sons and daughters of Kerbin: Pay no attention to the Kraken behind the curtain. [20:59:35] ;8ball Is Soma a good game? [20:59:35] raptop: You may rely on it [21:00:04] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o BPlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:00:05] hehe who knows [21:00:10] it is for free so i took it [21:00:10] Raptop: If it's free it's a good game. [21:00:22] Action: Scolar_Visari glares at their copy that just finished downloading. [21:00:28] horror is not exactly my genre [21:00:44] but for example stasis was good [21:00:47] Althego: So you're probably one of those people, like me, who never get past the first five minutes of Alien: Isolation? [21:00:50] Scolar_Visari: yeah, I grabbed the free GOG deal. [21:00:56] so it can be that i like this one too [21:01:08] never tried it [21:01:14] Action: raptop likes how Alien FPS games tend to have no enemies for the first level or so. [21:01:37] AvP2 did it right with the tracker going off all the time for things like doors. [21:01:37] ...speaking of Horror, I still have the Amnesia games sitting in my Steam library unplayed o_O [21:01:49] Amnesia's made by the same people who did Soma. [21:03:25] hm [21:04:54] Action: Scolar_Visari ponders if Stern et al. will try to make out Ultima Thule as a, "planet" during its flyby. [21:05:37] it's not a tumor :) [21:05:45] and it is not a plant [21:05:48] planet [21:06:11] Huh, the first images will be uploaded within a day. [21:06:20] It's most definitely not in hydrostatic equilibrium, so I'd hope not. [21:06:31] Althego: Stern's definition of a planet seems to change on a whim. [21:06:40] ...please don't ask me what's going on with the elongation but static light curve. [21:07:48] I'm not saying it's aliens . . . And it probably isn't aliens. [21:08:05] There are two kinds of people who call Pluto a planet. One thinks that we should minimize or drop the dynamical definition (and therefore are fine with moons being planets and the solar system having 100+ planets.) The other are just wrong. [21:08:09] Action: Scolar_Visari actually looked up Enceladus' light curve to see if high reflectivity may account for some of the wonkiness. Further analysis required. [21:08:45] Enceladus almost certainly does not have aliens pointing parabolic reflectors at Earth. [21:08:46] Enceladus is also pretty bumpy. [21:08:58] Ah, but it's also the brightest known object (?) in the Solar System. [21:09:03] Er, most reflective. [21:09:06] Action: Scolar_Visari ignores Venus. [21:10:19] What's the albedo of an S-IVb or Centaur in heliocentric orbit? [21:10:55] african or european? :) [21:12:45] . . . "Russia says new missile flies 27 times faster than the speed of sound". [21:12:54] ;c 340*27 [21:12:54] raptop: 9180 [21:12:59] So... it's an ICBM. [21:13:23] isn't that slightly above escape velocity? [21:13:43] hehe [21:13:47] Above circular (ignoring dV losses), below escape. [21:14:02] raptop: Well, if they're talking about the alleged abilities of the Zircon missile, I guess they don't know how Mach works? [21:14:24] "New missile? Nyet, we've had these for decades!" [21:14:49] mach number is not straightforward to convert o absolute velocity [21:14:55] Action: Scolar_Visari would actually be tickled if the hypersonic, airbreathing Zircon missile just happened to be a stripped down ballistic missile. [21:15:33] Scolar_Visari: oh, there's an airbreathing stage? [21:15:39] less payload is corresponding to more boosters :) [21:16:05] https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DviHE5kXcAEyFJ-.jpg [21:16:39] raptop: The whole thing's allegedly a scramjet ala the X-51. [21:17:03] Fluburtur: "Hans, it won't fit!" [21:17:12] lol [21:18:25] Some of the depictions of the missile are even re-textured models of the X-51 ala https://bit.ly/2SoynAM [21:18:43] o_O [21:22:32] Fluburtur: I'm seriously wondering if, even if it could fit, if a Ju-290 could actually carry a single Sd.Kfz. 250. [21:23:43] maybe? [21:26:06] It doesn't appear any actually flew with Sd.Kfz. 250 cargoes. [21:30:11] Action: Scolar_Visari ponders if the person on the ladder is nodding their head in disbelief. "Hans, I told you it wouldn't fit!" [21:31:29] Apparently someone forgot to measure things before loading? [21:31:56] Would this honestly surprise you given some of the other Third Reich shenanigans? [21:36:56] Sort of like forgetting to conduct any sort of quality control on torpedoes and having them not explode. Or perhaps their entire atomic bomb and power project. [21:37:22] well, TBF, look at early war US torpedoes. [21:38:55] Psht, real submarine warfare involves using economical deck guns! [21:39:18] So long as your target has nothing more than a machine gun on it. [21:39:40] o_O [21:40:20] Well, think about it: It's not like the decks of submarines are exactly stable firing platforms with cover for their otherwise completely exposed crew. [21:41:30] So your opponent must do the honorable thing and never move in convoys and/or put guns on their merchant vessels. [21:42:39] Seriously, though, most of the first World War's submarine warfare kills were made with surface gunnery, sometimes with only warning shots though as was desired by then maritime law. [21:42:50] O_o [21:44:19] Though, back then, it was harder to kill u-boats. The British even tried using merchant vessels with hidden weapons as 'bait' to lure submarines in to close range. [21:45:52] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [21:46:17] Then some one had to go invent radar and active sonar. [21:50:25] Action: Scolar_Visari still prefers arming passenger liners for use against merchant shipping.

[21:53:39] that sounds silly [21:57:18] It was, and I can only imagine how the crew of the RMS Carmania felt when they spotted the Cap Tralfagar's livery. [21:57:50] "Oi, capn'! Aren't WE the RMS Carmania?" [22:00:33] (insert spiderman pointing at spiderman meme here) [22:01:17] Surface commerce raiding is a missed opportunity for some sweet sim games. [22:04:19] https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f0/4.73x33_Caseless-crop.jpg [22:04:20] wat [22:05:08] Limited production run caseless ammo for the G-11 rifle. [22:05:28] Ammo developed by the same people who brought us dynamite, rifle by H&K [22:09:30] caseless ammo is a thing [22:09:33] alright then [22:09:45] the best for that is probably the gyrojet but it is pretty much useless [22:20:51] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o APlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [22:27:14] Gyrojet's are tiny rockets! The G11 more or less fired a conventional bullet. [22:27:39] The cartridges were even detonated by a conventional primer. [22:29:13] The problem was developing a material to replace the case and smokeless powder that wouldn't cook off at normal firearm operating temperatures. [22:30:28] While a suitable material was eventually found, it was also discovered that the ammunition was vulnerable to damage, so they were kept in sealed plastic containers instead of, "loose" in normal boxes to only be opened when loading a magazine. [22:32:08] uh [22:32:27] The cost of the entire system (ammo and gun, which used a wonky, enormous bolt) and the lackluster bullet (puny 4.73) ensured the G11 was only used sparingly. [22:33:00] https://youtu.be/wcehaxidJZk [22:33:00] YouTube - Shrek but the ENTIRE MOVIE is converted to MIDI [22:33:26] Action: Scolar_Visari notes the firearms used in Avatar (the Smurf one, not the bending one) were similar to the G11 albeit with completely expendable magazines. [22:36:07] https://i.pinimg.com/474x/35/dd/6a/35dd6a20c1bf39d436fb2b892942a116--sci-fi-weapons-concept-weapons.jpg [22:36:44] Action: raptop had completely forgotton about anything smaller than the mechs. [22:37:17] Cameron has a good eye for believable, technical detail. [22:40:33] First Indian manned space mission planed for 2022 https://phys.org/news/2018-12-india-three-person-crew-landmark-space.html [22:41:22] Action: raptop maintains that Cameron is too good at technical detail for the story told in Avatar. [22:41:34] Also, yay, hopefully. [22:42:17] For everyone else, there's the Abyss Director's cut! [22:42:45] avatar story sucked. i watched it so he would do the alita movie. and yet after several years he is not doing it [22:42:45] Action: Scolar_Visari prepares for Chang'e-4 Helium-3 claims. [22:43:00] Althego: Nope, that would be Ridley Scott. [22:45:07] Scolar_Visari: I want to live in a world where Helium-3 articles are just talking about the interaction of the solar wind with the Moon's surface. [22:45:34] Unless someone can wave a wand and get us second gen fusion reactors. [22:45:41] raptop: You do, but only if you restrict yourself to scholarly articles. [22:46:06] I mean, I already have a few journals in my RSS reader... [22:47:58] I'd rather live in the world with easy-peasy proton chain fusion. [22:49:36] Well, yes. Magicing away that deuterium production step would be best. [22:50:07] I'm sure this would have some pretty weird effect on the economics of everything. [22:50:20] Like atomic fission was supposed to with nuclear cars. [22:51:15] nuclear cars for the nuclear family :) [22:51:58] Alas, both are the product of that odd point in the 20th Century when television sucked and everything was in black and white.
