[10:20:32] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [13:51:13] maybe something happens here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8O8Z2yPyTnc [13:51:13] YouTube - Starlink Mission [13:56:10] Yay the same link works [13:56:45] 40% chance of liftoff [14:12:37] stream on [14:21:50] scrub [14:22:42] next launch is in 13 hours 29 minutes for the delta iv heavy [14:22:47] 39 minutes [14:57:00] That's a nasty time for us Europeans [14:58:40] no, i will be awake by then [14:59:05] the next spacex in 1.5 days, that will be 4 in the morning [14:59:26] so 2 utc [14:59:53] and i sure hope the virtus does not slow down the final destruction of daylight saving next year [15:00:00] *virus [15:00:48] Agreed wholeheartedly on that [15:08:21] I'd like to keep DST but that's probably just me then :) [15:08:38] You and one other person I have ever met [15:08:42] that is an other war. somehow most people want to keep the summer time [15:09:19] but winter time is what is closer to the actual [15:09:29] Oh, packbart do you mean permanent DST or swapping like we do now? [15:09:41] I don't mind the swapping [15:10:01] there are plenty of countries around the world with dst :) [15:10:05] Althego, yeah, at least midnight and midday are nominally what they are supposed to be [15:10:38] on t he other hand, here at the eastern edge of +1, it can make sense to have +2 [15:10:43] otoh, there's probably money to be made, upgrading all calendar functions in embedded computers [15:10:53] hehe [15:11:15] these things happen all the time [15:11:27] timezones changes or shift by political issues [15:11:38] dst comes and goes [15:11:47] I don't get it. Why have DST instead of just getting up an hour earlier in the summer? [15:11:55] I'm planning on earning some retirement support in 2037 [15:12:08] for example the russians stopped using dst, but they changed which of the two they use later [15:12:36] hehe yes the unix timestamo [15:12:54] there will be devices running on 32 bit processors [15:12:58] even then [15:13:17] even 32bit processors can handle 64bit timestamps [15:13:38] provided the code that runs on them handles it [15:14:03] how long until coding is completely done by ai? [15:14:10] most of them already do, so I hope there's a sizeable chunk left in 2037 [15:14:25] I don't think it ever truly will [15:14:43] granted, AI can write most of the code [15:15:42] they should switch the time half an hour next time [15:15:45] and then just leave it at that [15:15:53] whats the point with the back and forth [15:16:01] there are such timezones already, nothing new [15:16:09] i think ther are even quarter hour timezones [15:16:34] i'm gonna go to bed [15:20:06] North Korea is a 1/4 time zone I think [15:20:14] https://www.timeanddate.com/time/time-zones-interesting.html [15:20:31] Maybe not NK [15:20:32] insanity [15:21:37] Ah, Nepal [15:29:18] next timezone must be the 5*(e + pi). must be usefule just as much as the others :) [15:29:28] hehe fule [15:29:32] Huh. Historically, Bombay Time used to be GMT+4:51 [15:30:10] hehe [15:30:17] India had three time zones - GMT+4:51, +5:21 and +5:54 [15:34:59] "At 10:30am on Wednesday in London, it’s 11:30pm on Tuesday in the inhabited New Zealand-owned island of Niue, and 12:30am on Thursday in the Line Islands of the Republic of Kiribati" [15:35:05] https://www.citymetric.com/horizons/here-are-some-worlds-most-stupid-time-zones-2863 [15:40:49] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [15:51:27] i never wanted to know what a bobbit worm was. dont look it up [15:59:08] they're so cool! [16:00:03] hehe xp source code leaked. would be funny if somebody started to maintain it on github :) [16:00:45] Consider: XPBox along the lines of DOSBox [16:03:52] i gave away my old xp box :) [16:04:07] i still have the 7 box. and going to need it because of the broken drm on prototype [16:27:51] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Judge_Dedd' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:25:18] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Mostly_Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [17:29:23] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o purpletarget|ktns' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [18:51:02] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o UmbralRaptor' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [18:52:11] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o raptop' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [19:02:17] what's a good TWR for lifting off from kerbin ? [19:03:15] Initially, probably anywhere between 1.2 and 1.6. Solids can skew high (possibly much higher), liquids generally don't need to be above 1.5-1.4. Below 1.2 I want to say that gravity losses are excessive [19:03:44] gotcha [19:03:59] im trying to set an optimal thrust limiter % on 6 radially attached solid boosters [19:04:39] Depending on design details, it may make sense to split them into two groups of 3, and air-lighting one of them [19:05:04] hmm, ill try that [19:05:14] ive only ever done something similar to that w/ liquid tanks/engines [19:05:17] i forget the term [19:05:19] something-staging [19:05:20] But, this depends on the mass of the car, etc [19:05:24] asparagus-staging? [19:05:27] yeah [19:08:16] shoot, im too heavy to do taht [19:08:44] you aint fat, you aint nothin (wird al) [19:10:03] Action: raptop lessthanthrees that stock now has ΔV and TWR info built in [19:10:57] yes you can even switch between sea level and space [19:11:20] And set semi-arbitrary pressures [19:52:05] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Mostly_Deddly' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [20:04:19] Action: raptop flips sign.
