[00:00:03] <Fluburtur> nozzle mk5 is designed, will print the mold tomorrow
[00:00:33] <Fluburtur> it will be a rather short one since the size of the exhaust cone is linked to the throat
[00:01:31] <Fluburtur> 6mm is smaller than the throat should be for that size of rocket but it should generate some significat presure
[00:22:03] <GurrenLagannTSS> I'm plunging to death in ARSS
[00:28:22] <GurrenLagannTSS> omg
[00:28:49] <GurrenLagannTSS> world record for closest survivable encounter
[00:28:58] <Ezko> good luck with that
[00:29:08] <Ezko> GurrenLagannTSS: it's 3:28 in the morning here and i haven't went to sleep
[00:29:26] <GurrenLagannTSS> I survived a 100 m encounter
[00:31:46] <Ezko> is that good

[03:22:02] <Draconiator> Man I absolutely LOVE my crash-proof Mun rover.  I drove it around and tested it with some massive jumps, and nope, NEVER fell apart not even once.
[03:37:42] <UmbralRaptop> Does it have lots of struts and/or wheels? 
[03:39:44] <Scolar_Visari> Sons and daughters of Kerbin: Life support, offline. Propulsion, offline. Launch escape system, offline. All systems nominal.
[03:40:52] <UmbralRaptop> Fortunately, this mission is robotic. 
[03:41:38] <Scolar_Visari> Not having propulsion means it's also a failed robotic mission.
[03:42:27] <UmbralRaptop> Usually, though some cube sats& 
[03:42:55] <Scolar_Visari> Well, those passive deorbit aids don't work so well if they're launched into a higher-than-designed orbit.
[03:44:27] Action: Scolar_Visari notes that if the Shuttle was a secret military endeavor, it was not a very good one.
[03:45:56] <UmbralRaptop> Hah
[03:48:03] <Scolar_Visari> Some one on phys.org seems to think it was purpose-built for swooping in and taking enemy satellites despite A. Such a capability was never utilized and B. The USAF requirements for the STS were added on during development.
[03:48:42] <Scolar_Visari> And, you know, it's not like the Soviets would've just as eagerly deorbited a satellite if they ever got a hint that the STS would be visiting it in person.
[03:49:50] Action: Scolar_Visari mutters something about the Vandenburg launch site never launching a Shuttle.
[03:50:48] <UmbralRaptop> SLC-6 stands for atlaS Launch Complex-6, right? 
[03:51:37] <Scolar_Visari> No no no. It's Secret Launch Complex-6
[03:51:45] <Scolar_Visari> Don't tell anybody!
[03:52:23] Action: Scolar_Visari envisions a USAF spokesperson denying the existence of a secret launch complex to a crowd of reporters as a rocket is launched from said secret launch complex.
[03:53:08] <Scolar_Visari> "There's absolutely no launch complex-6! Doesn't exist!" "WHAT DID YOU SAY!? YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO SPEAK UP BECAUSE WE CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE ROCKET!"

[15:25:39] <Fluburtur> nice
[15:25:41] <Rokker> ima laugh at the crappy French planes
[15:25:47] <Rokker> we have like 3
[15:26:01] <Fluburtur> do you have a vg-33
[15:27:15] <Rokker> lolno, get outta here
[15:27:23] <Fluburtur> bad museum then
[15:28:17] <Rokker> Fluburtur: I want a C.R.714
[15:28:33] <Fluburtur> yeah it is a nice plane
[15:28:38] <Fluburtur> the engine cooling is fun
[15:28:45] <Fluburtur> pretty decent in war thunder
[15:28:57] <Guest76981> hi guys. i have a question about RAM if anyone knows the ins and outs?
[15:29:22] <Rokker> Fluburtur: listen, we can't help it that u guys built 50 of em and they were destroyed by germans
[15:29:30] <Rokker> wrt VG-33
[15:29:43] <Guest76981> i'm looking to upgrade my RAM since KSP uses 5+GB when running, my laptop has 8gb and lags bigtime, so i'm looking to get an 8gb kingston card
[15:29:49] <Fluburtur> I think only 12 were actually air worthy
[15:30:21] <Fluburtur> bad design choices from the guys that made it, they wanted to make it of wood but the logistics to get the wood weren't there anymore
[15:30:52] <Fluburtur> but the german tested the ones they could get and were quite impressed
[15:30:56] <Fluburtur> pretty capable plane
[15:30:58] <Guest76981> can i get RAM thats 1600mhz if i have one left in at 4gb that's 1333? will they be compatible together?
[15:31:30] <bees> both would run at 1333
[15:32:00] <Guest76981> ah i see
[15:32:19] <Guest76981> thank you. so having one at 2400 would be pointless if the other is at 1333?
[15:32:36] <UmbralRaptop> Guest76981: depends on what frequencies they support. bees' description is what happens if they're any good. 
[15:33:06] <Guest76981> and having 2x 4gb cards at 1333mhs, would there be a performance difference if my laptop had the same 2x 4gb cards but at 1600mhz?
[15:35:03] <Guest76981> is there any performance difference between ddr3 and ddr4?
[15:35:52] <Draconiator> um, also you usually don't call RAM "cards"....we use "sticks". because they're a lot longer than they are tall.
[15:36:40] <Guest76981> oh
[15:36:44] <UmbralRaptop> As best I'm aware, having enough RAM us far more important than the speed. 
[15:36:52] <Guest76981> i have the shorter ones in my laptop
[15:37:03] <Guest76981> ok great
[15:37:27] <UmbralRaptop> they're still sticks, but make sure you have the right form factor. 
[15:37:44] <Guest76981> my 8gb (2x4) gets eaten up when i load KSP so i'm looking to expand one card from 4 to 8 bringing the total to 12 (1x4 + 1x8)
[15:37:54] <Guest76981> Ok raptor thanks
[15:38:24] <Guest76981> i'm looking to learn what needs to be compatible etc if one stick is left in then will it affect the kind of other stick i can use
[15:38:33] <Guest76981> can i use 2 different brands for etc?
[16:05:04] <Alanonzander> brand doesn't matter.  Ram speeds and rating do.
[16:05:50] <Alanonzander> make sure the new ram is power-rated the same as the old ones, as well as being the same speed
[16:15:18] <Guest76981> thank you

[16:31:20] <Althego> they named the test dummy mannequin skywalker
[16:39:21] <Fluburtur> so when will spacex shoot down this ugly rocket in a landing burn
[16:39:25] <Mat2ch> Yay
[16:39:50] <Mat2ch> Fluburtur: spaceX has done much more than they ever may be able to
[16:40:24] <Fluburtur> well yeah they launch useful payload, this is just "space" turism for rich peoples
[16:40:29] <Fluburtur> not even getting into orbit
[16:40:48] <Fluburtur> getting a trip on a 0G plane would give you more 0G time for probably cheaper
[16:40:58] <Mat2ch> Also the landing burn is soooooooooooo tedious
[16:41:11] <Fluburtur> yeah
[16:41:19] <Fluburtur> real rockets do suicide burns
[16:42:26] <Mat2ch> Hold, again
[16:43:31] <ve2dmn> I never understood holds
[16:43:37] <GurrenLagannTSS> Why Principia needs 64-bit?
[16:43:58] <ve2dmn> GurrenLagannTSS: probably memory
[16:44:04] <Fluburtur> well some launchers have a planned hold to check for stuff but those random holds are weird
[16:44:21] <ve2dmn> Fluburtur: they are
[16:44:31] <Fluburtur> that's like 4 holds already
[16:44:33] <GurrenLagannTSS> RIP My chances to run principia
[16:44:36] <Fluburtur> learn to rocket brah
[16:44:50] <ve2dmn> but if you have planned holds, why not put them in the countdown?
[16:45:04] <Fluburtur> don't think those are planned
[16:45:09] <Althego> is that color painted or damage?
[16:45:24] <Fluburtur> probably painted and burned
[16:45:31] <Fluburtur> if it cna go fast enough to burn
[16:46:54] <Fluburtur> use metric goddamnit
[16:47:02] <Fluburtur> how do they expect to be taken seriously
[16:47:16] <ve2dmn> GurrenLagannTSS: 32bit process on Windows are limited to 2G of memory (or 4G with a special BigMem setting), and 3G on Linux (I don't know about MacOS)
[16:47:45] <ve2dmn> 64bit is limited to.... well... much more then you'll need for at least a decade
[16:48:32] <Althego> 4 GB includes video memory too
[16:48:40] <GurrenLagannTSS> i hate my pc
[16:48:41] <Althego> so actually less than that
[16:48:46] <ve2dmn> true
[16:48:49] <GurrenLagannTSS> buy a new one for me
[16:49:09] <ve2dmn> I wish I could
[16:49:24] <Mat2ch> ve2dmn: but then you'd buy one for yourself first ;P
[16:49:54] <ve2dmn> of course. I have a crappy i5 that is... years old?
[16:50:09] <ve2dmn> I think 5 years old

[17:05:31] <GurrenLagannTSS> I broke ksp
[17:05:44] <GurrenLagannTSS> asteroids 100 trillion km away
[17:05:59] <Fluburtur> btw the plaster I use for the new nozzles take 4 hours to fully dry
[17:06:15] <GurrenLagannTSS> t-1 min
[17:06:18] <Fluburtur> this has been like 1 so far because the plaster starts to harden after only 20 minutes
[17:06:25] <Fluburtur> so that means I can make nozzles faster
[17:07:02] <Althego> why dont you make the mold smooth so you dont need to fix the product?
[17:07:06] <GurrenLagannTSS> 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
[17:07:17] <GurrenLagannTSS> LAUNCH
[17:07:30] <Fluburtur> well the mold is 3d printed so it has lines on it
[17:07:45] <Fluburtur> and PLA plastic is rather hard so difficult to sand
[17:08:11] <Fluburtur> but on future ones I will grease the mold for easier release so it should come out smoother too
[17:08:16] <Fluburtur> I forgot to grease this one
[17:08:21] <ve2dmn> pff... it's all in freedom unit...bleh
[17:08:37] <Althego> hehe
[17:08:46] <Althego> plastic, use metal against it
[17:08:50] <Fluburtur> whats 40k feet? something like 60 meters I think?
[17:09:00] <Althego> hehe
[17:09:15] <GurrenLagannTSS> 3 feet = 1 m
[17:09:17] <Althego> kerbal style rocket
[17:09:38] <Fluburtur> well Althego until I get a working nozzle design my molds will have one or two uses each
[17:09:39] <GurrenLagannTSS> so 40k feet  =  120km
[17:09:47] <ve2dmn> reverse
[17:09:59] <GurrenLagannTSS> wait
[17:10:00] <Althego> hah look at those pixels
[17:10:03] <Althego> all 30 of them
[17:10:06] <Fluburtur> so I will maybe sand the molds once I get a good design I want to make a lot of
[17:10:14] <Fluburtur> heh
[17:10:34] <GurrenLagannTSS> 40k feet = 40/3  = 13.3333333333333... km
[17:10:35] <Fluburtur> I think 1000mph means it crossed 30 kilometers per hour too
[17:10:39] <Althego> 100 km
[17:11:04] <GurrenLagannTSS> 1000 mph = 333.333333.... km/h
[17:11:35] <Fluburtur> nah
[17:11:45] <ve2dmn> ;wa 347485 feets to meters
[17:11:47] <kmath> ve2dmn: convert 347485 feet to meters: 105913 meters
[17:11:55] <GurrenLagannTSS> or
[17:12:26] <GurrenLagannTSS> 105913.33333333333333333333333333333........ km
[17:12:30] <Althego> hehe the progress bar is regressing
[17:13:30] <Althego> it is nice, but somehow it is too much of a spacex knockoff
[17:13:45] <Fluburtur> bootleg spacex
[17:13:53] <ve2dmn> Althego: still nice to see another launcher
[17:13:53] <GurrenLagannTSS> ;choose 1 million assists from chardy|joolian chaos
[17:13:54] <kmath> GurrenLagannTSS: 1 million assists from chardy
[17:13:58] <Fluburtur> I hope there will be explosions
[17:14:09] <Althego> boom boom
[17:14:10] <GurrenLagannTSS> yeaah
[17:14:27] <Althego> hehe it is hovering
[17:14:39] <Althego> nice to have a throttable engine
[17:14:45] <ve2dmn> a mere few meters from target
[17:14:46] <Mat2ch> so lame.
[17:14:55] <Fluburtur> real rockets do suicide burns
[17:14:58] <Fluburtur> showoff
[17:15:08] <ve2dmn> :D
[17:15:12] <Althego> spacex does it from orbital speed, suicide burn and on target
[17:15:18] <Mat2ch> if this would've come down from orbit, it would've burnt up-
[17:15:20] <GurrenLagannTSS> i got to the moon on spaceflight simulator
[17:15:36] <GurrenLagannTSS> but i cant go to mars
[17:16:14] <Althego> 16 miles per hour, it is not a joke to say the soyuz landing are like a car crash
[17:16:27] <Mat2ch> I fail to go to the Moon in RSS/RO... it's so hard. Also my computer doesn't take it very well
[17:16:27] <ve2dmn> yes
[17:17:43] <GurrenLagannTSS> not beautiful
[17:18:03] <Althego> in the long run hopefulle competition is good for everybody
[17:18:09] <ve2dmn> ^
[17:18:40] <Althego> currently they are not direct competitors
[17:18:40] <GurrenLagannTSS> blue origin is waaaaaaay behind
[17:18:44] <Althego> yes
[17:19:11] <ve2dmn> It's a bit pass the 'early adopters' and into the 'getting mainstream' category

[18:03:12] <Scolar_Visari> Gurren: Crazy? The electromagnetic drive of Red October was crazy. Sure, you can get rid of the noise from the propellers, but you still have the machinery around the reactor making tons of noise.
[18:03:33] <Scolar_Visari> Whereas a diesel electric is much, much, much quieter when submerged.
[18:04:20] <GurrenLagannTSS> .........
[18:04:33] <GurrenLagannTSS> halp
[18:10:51] <Althego> nuclear submarines are using electric motors
[18:11:34] <Scolar_Visari> Althego: Yes, but that electricity comes from the reactor and its machinery.
[18:11:43] <Althego> however the turbines make some noise. famously the swedish stirling engine sub sunk an american carrier in an excercise
[18:11:49] <GurrenLagannTSS> hhaaaalp
[18:11:59] <Althego> because it is so much less noise to run that
[18:12:52] <Scolar_Visari> A diesel electric just switches to quiet batteries when on silent running, though there are some sweet alternatives to that. 
[18:13:00] Action: Scolar_Visari briefly envisions using a fly wheel powered submarine.
[18:13:35] <Scolar_Visari> "Reel in the ram air turbine and spin down the flywheels!"

[18:15:41] <Scolar_Visari> Althego: Air when you're surface, just as diesel electrics need to air to run their diesels via shnorkels and charge the batteries.
[18:15:58] <Scolar_Visari> Otherwise you'll quickly make the crew compartment uninhabitable.
[18:16:04] <Althego> hehe
[18:16:26] <Althego> the stirling thing run on liquid oxygen and fuel, and stored the exhaused compressed
[18:16:50] <Scolar_Visari> This was a serious issue with Type VII U-Boats, too, during high sea states. The shnorkels would get covered in water and severely damage the ear drums of the occupants as the air was sucked out.
[18:16:53] <Althego> apparently it can do this for weeks
[18:17:07] <Althego> ok, not months, or rather almost infinite as a nuclear
[18:17:14] <Althego> but lot lighter, less maintenance, and less noise
[18:17:31] <Scolar_Visari> Ah, but unsuitable for nuclear deterrent patrols!
[18:18:11] <Scolar_Visari> Though they'd run out of food before they'd need to refuel.
[18:18:21] <Althego> finally i got the 3 breather masks in septerra. now i can go into the deep part of the mold forest
[18:18:35] <Scolar_Visari> Watch out for that oak pollen!
[18:19:29] <Althego> i dont care about that
[18:19:44] <Althego> dont even go outside except for going to work and coming back
[18:21:41] <Althego> hmm, thunderfoot on antimatter bullets. is this turning into an xkcd what if?
[18:22:39] <Althego> hehe around 60 trillion dollars per gram on the antihydrogen
[18:22:44] <Scolar_Visari> Antimatter bullets: The same output as relativistic bullets but twice the price.
[18:23:36] <Scolar_Visari> Suffer automatic 2+D6 wounds when antimatter guns suffer a critical.
[18:23:48] <Scolar_Visari> No saving throw.
[18:24:05] <Althego> you mean 10 million times that
[18:24:21] <Scolar_Visari> This is a six sided die system, we can't afford that many.
[18:29:25] <Scolar_Visari> Though if you're carrying that much criticals worth of antimatter, it's probably not a very portable weapon system.
[18:29:50] <Scolar_Visari> You'd have an easier time trying to design a pistol that fires nuclear warheads.
[18:40:16] <Althego> scott on phoenix point
[18:43:36] <Scolar_Visari> Scott Pilgrim? Scott Summers? Scott Eastwood?
[18:44:58] <Althego> manley
[18:55:10] <Scolar_Visari> Yeah, but Phoenix Point sounds like a place Scott "Cyclops" Summers might've visited.

[19:06:33] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+v eriophora' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net
[19:31:42] Action: Scolar_Visari ponders joining r/badhistory
[19:53:10] <Scolar_Visari> Though I did set said conspiracy theorist to ignore . . . 
[20:16:58] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Supernovy' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net
[20:17:09] <Supernovy> Evening, Gentlemen.
[20:25:49] <Scolar_Visari> You missed it: There were submarines and conspiracy theories
[20:31:46] <Draconiator> I've necver seen Scolar be....normal.  heh he's NECVER serious.
[20:32:06] <Fluburtur> he's a robot
[20:32:50] <Scolar_Visari> I thought my being a sentient chatbot was canon?
[20:33:24] Action: Scolar_Visari would concede that Supernovy is perhaps the most irreverent #KSPOfficial personality
[20:59:38] <UmbralRaptop> Is the integral of Scolar_Visari's amplitude over all space not equal to 1?
[21:06:39] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o Distractedman979' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net
[21:08:38] <Scolar_Visari> Zero is involved, I believe, so it's undefined.
[21:17:19] Action: Scolar_Visari still gets the satisfied amusement that both of the author's responsible for the Fermi's Paradox mess are now blatant pseudoscientists.
[21:20:10] <SnoopJeDi> Scolar_Visari, I forgot to pull my current reading out of my bag before checking it, so I've reread some Accelerando today. "sentient chatbot" is very on-brand for me at the moment, although it needs more uploaded lobsters.
[21:23:40] <Scolar_Visari> I do not have lobsters. I do, however, have mollusks. 
[21:54:46] <GurrenLagannTSS> Back
[21:59:52] <SnoopJeDi> Scolar_Visari, I hear they make cremes for that
[22:25:38] <Scolar_Visari> SnoopJeDi: I prefer mine made out of fruit.
[22:27:44] <lordcirth_> I saw a mod ages ago that let you dig into asteroids, creating tanks, etc inside them.  Anyone know what it's called?
[22:30:57] <Scolar_Visari> https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/82809-13-asteroid-recycling-technologies-v090/ ?
[22:32:13] <lordcirth> Scolar_Visari, that seems like it!  Thanks!
[22:32:15] <Scolar_Visari> Latest release is here https://github.com/BobPalmer/ART/releases
[22:32:44] <GurrenLagannTSS> soo many mods
[22:33:13] <GurrenLagannTSS> but my pc is a potato
[22:33:46] <lordcirth> GurrenLagannTSS, many good mods don't consume a lot of resources
[22:34:05] <GurrenLagannTSS> true
[22:34:17] <GurrenLagannTSS> but some mods do
[22:34:32] Action: GurrenLagannTSS looks at OPM
[22:35:51] Action: Scolar_Visari relishes dat feeling one gets when they shoot out both legs of a 'Mech in a single attack.
[22:35:54] <lordcirth> I use Sigma Dimensions to increase difficulty instead of planet packs
[22:36:11] <umaxtu> Scolar_Visari, you playing Battletech?
[22:36:32] <SnoopJeDi> lordcirth, like Chatterer :)
[22:37:15] <Scolar_Visari> umaxtu: Yes, though I was a bit disappointed to find out the Marauder would not be in the initial release.
[22:37:24] <lordcirth> SnoopJeDi, I don't actually use that, but yes.  Btw, Accelerando is great
[22:37:28] <umaxtu> I don't know what that is
[22:37:51] <GurrenLagannTSS> umaxtu, What is Battletech?
[22:38:06] <umaxtu> no, what is Marauder
[22:38:18] <SnoopJeDi> lordcirth, yes it is!
[22:39:00] <lordcirth> SnoopJeDi, Neptune's Brood is also great
[22:39:23] <SnoopJeDi> haven't read it, but most of my other Stross reading is Laundry
[22:40:16] <SnoopJeDi> Heard good things about Empire Games, too
[22:40:44] <Scolar_Visari> umaxtu: The Marauder is an iconic, pre-Helm Memory Core BattleMech that had a well balanced stock loadout. Unfortunately, it was also based on the Zentraedi officer pod from Macross, and the current rights holder sued over the use of the since redesigned Marauder.
[22:40:56] <umaxtu> ah
[22:41:24] <umaxtu> so it wasn't simply a case of them being jerks and saving it for post-launch dlc
[22:41:24] <GurrenLagannTSS> I'm thinking to do power levels.
[22:42:20] <Scolar_Visari> Here's the version of the Marauder used in MechWarrior Online that was to be included in Battletech https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/001/602/701/large/lauren-bamlett-marauder-01.jpg?1449302495
[22:43:01] <Scolar_Visari> And here's a accurate representation of the original, "Unseen" version https://img00.deviantart.net/98c3/i/2006/237/3/b/marauder_by_punakettu.jpg
[22:45:15] <umaxtu> maybe its the color/textures, but those don't look identical 
[22:47:59] <umaxtu> the shoulders for example
[22:50:03] <oren> estimated burn time 109 minutes
[22:50:11] <GurrenLagannTSS> lol
[22:50:32] <GurrenLagannTSS> almost 1.8 hours
[22:51:06] <oren> https://imgur.com/33wlGft
[22:51:07] <kmath> https://i.imgur.com/33wlGft.png
[22:51:50] <oren> I'm delivering some stuff to duna and I don't have a proper launch window so I opted to basically just burn a lot of fuel
[22:55:22] <lordcirth> GurrenLagannTSS, 4x warp at least?
[22:55:28] <Scolar_Visari> umaxtu: Interestingly, the alleged holder of the rights to the original design recently sued the Battletech and Mechwarrior license holders for infringement on other designs that they did not own, which led to the dismissal of the lawsuit with prejiduce. 
[22:55:54] <Scolar_Visari> Whether or not the other matter will be settled with dismissal remains to be seen, but they lose all the rights after 2021.
[22:56:18] <umaxtu> they meaning the people who sued?
[22:59:40] <Scolar_Visari> Yep.
[22:59:49] Action: Scolar_Visari goes off to headshot a light 'Mech.
[23:13:53] <Fluburtur> https://78.media.tumblr.com/8f7438704f48e5771b20c56601f58952/tumblr_p7uphbBXyT1u53c30o4_540.jpg
[23:14:47] <GurrenLagannTSS> copycats
[23:28:47] <Fluburtur> I wish I could do flow analysis of my rocket nozzles
[23:29:03] <Fluburtur> this way I could see how it works and what needs to be improved
[23:29:32] <oren> HALF OF MY FUEL IS FOR THE FIRST 1000 M/S AAAAAAA
[23:30:13] <Rokker> Fluburtur: just so you know, those are parody fakes, not actual ones on store shelves
[23:30:33] <Fluburtur> I know
[23:30:37] <Fluburtur> but they are fun
[23:30:50] <Fluburtur> and could very well exist because the powers of bootleg are neverending
[23:31:53] <Fluburtur> anyways if anyone has the fluid dynamics software from autodesk, please help me
[23:31:58] <Rokker> jeff bezos looks a like a bit of a d-bag in his latest NS capsule pic
[23:32:40] <Rokker> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Db-lsbZU0AAkjp8.jpg:small
[23:32:49] <Rokker> look at this tool
[23:34:55] <Fluburtur> when I blow into the nozzle the flow seems turbulent
[23:35:04] <Fluburtur> perhaps I should try it with a compressor
