L3[00:22:17] <LunchBot> You are tasked with a part testing contract from Jebediah Kerman's Junkyard and Spacecraft Parts Company. The part being tested is their art-of-the-state Bone Remover 3000 radial attachment science pod. The required test volunteers will be provided (and paid $60) by the aforementioned company via an exciting new recruitment policy and stringent waiver system. Thefurtheruseofspacesisprohibited.

L4[00:25:55] <raptop> barrel as a unit presents some problems https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrel_(unit)

L5[00:29:49] <raptop> !mission add You list your propellant requirements in barrels, but fail to specify what kind.

L6[00:29:49] <LunchBot> Added mission: You list your propellant requirements in barrels, but fail to specify what kind.

L9[00:39:34] <raptop> !mission you br

L10[00:39:34] <LunchBot> Instead of tea, you brew TEA-TEB.

L11[00:39:39] <raptop> !mission you brea

L12[00:39:39] <LunchBot> You breach containment.

L13[00:47:24] <Eddi|zuHause> !mission add To avoid conflicting unit definitions you invent your own unit system.

L14[00:47:25] <LunchBot> Added mission: To avoid conflicting unit definitions you invent your own unit system.

L15[00:48:03] <raptop> yeah, I can see how that goes wrong

L16[00:53:28] <Eddi|zuHause> the "not invented here" syndrome

L17[01:03:51] <raptop> I was more thinking of that one XKCD on how standards proliferate, but you're not wrong

L18[01:04:42] <XXCoder> ;mission add You decide not to use that nifty inventon for rockets, because it was not invented by your research team.

L19[01:04:42] <LunchBot> Added mission: You decide not to use that nifty inventon for rockets, because it was not invented by your research team.

L20[01:05:05] <Eddi|zuHause> raptop: that too.

L21[01:08:52] <Eddi|zuHause> it probably is quite a wonder that the SI got so universal. could have gone differently in the years after the french revolution

L22[01:12:13] <Eddi|zuHause> !mission add You synchronize your liftoff countdown with the new year countdown.

L23[01:12:14] <LunchBot> Added mission: You synchronize your liftoff countdown with the new year countdown.

L24[01:12:56] <Eddi|zuHause> !mission

L25[01:12:56] <LunchBot> You install KSP on Linux in a VM in OSX in a VM in Windows ME. Next thing you know, it's Apollo 18 and you're fighting space spiders!

L26[01:13:44] <Eddi|zuHause> so... success?

L27[01:17:21] <raptop> hard to say

L28[01:21:19] <Eddi|zuHause> i mean, i apparently got some kind of game running

L29[01:21:37] <Eddi|zuHause> and it is space themed

L30[01:22:48] <raptop> Hm, Gratuitious Space Battles technically has space spiders...

L33[01:24:31] <Eddi|zuHause> i tried getting back into stellaris, but they have buffed the AI so much, i don't manage to get ahead

L34[01:34:25] <raptop> Let's see... other games I've played recently...

L35[01:34:32] <raptop> Quake II and Brigador, I guess

L36[02:02:39] <umaxtu> Dave the Diver and AC Valhala for me

L39[03:58:02] <packbart> Walking Simulator Space Arcade

L48[07:43:08] <FLHerne> darsie: barrels are tuns

L49[07:44:06] <FLHerne> well, to normal people, I think the beer industry makes some distinctions

L51[07:54:46] <darsie> tuns or tons?

L54[08:00:46] <FLHerne> tuns

L56[09:00:40] <FLHerne> .outcome add "Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are advised that this mission report includes images of Kerbals who have died."

L57[09:00:41] <LunchBot> Added outcome: "Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are advised that this mission report includes images of Kerbals who have died."

L58[09:03:43] <sandbox> !mission

L59[09:03:43] <LunchBot> You encounter a non-sulfuric optical illusion. Cirno is embarassed by your poor math skills.

L60[09:05:02] <packbart> I've heard of Tunbridge Wells but not of tuns

L61[09:05:44] <packbart> "tun: a large beer or wine cask; an imperial measure of capacity, equal to 4 hogsheads" - I see

L62[09:09:24] <Eddi|zuHause> i've heard of tuna

L63[09:10:03] <Eddi|zuHause> but i think the original question was meant for the object itself, not the unit

L64[09:12:38] <packbart> I wouldn't want to specify fuel requirements in hogsheads, I guess

L65[09:15:03] <packbart> (but maybe cabine volume)

L68[10:49:55] <Eddi|zuHause> !mission

L69[10:49:56] <LunchBot> You add some communism. It's raining and even the seagulls are on strike.

L70[10:51:02] <Eddi|zuHause> "doch dann, dann kam die Wende..." :p

L71[10:51:17] <Mat2ch> rofl

L72[10:51:27] <Mat2ch> why does this fit so well?

L73[10:53:59] <Eddi|zuHause> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jux0MAtYxjA

L75[11:02:49] <FLHerne> that weather here right now

L76[11:03:18] <FLHerne> It's been raining heavily almost non-stop for two days, also blowing a gale overnight and this morning

L77[11:04:35] <sandbox> it's sunny here now, that's a nice change from the rain earlier

L84[12:42:34] <sandbox> !mission

L85[12:42:34] <LunchBot> You add a mission. Jool tosses you out into interstellar space with a passive-aggressive note telling you not to come back.

L86[12:51:10] <FLHerne> Too many missions already

L91[14:57:59] <FLHerne> .outcome add You narrowly avoid miserable failure and achieve only regular failure.

L92[14:57:59] <LunchBot> Added outcome: You narrowly avoid miserable failure and achieve only regular failure.

L94[15:04:03] <sandbox> !mission

L95[15:04:03] <LunchBot> You try to get back from Eve without killing Jeb. Your cameraman flees from the demented alien windmill.

L98[15:15:53] <FLHerne> I suppose a Roton-like craft is actually reasonable on Eve

L99[15:15:59] <FLHerne> lots of atmosphere

L100[16:16:24] <raptop> hm

L101[16:20:10] <raptop> !mission spin

L102[16:20:10] <LunchBot> You take your favorite plane out for a spin.

L103[16:20:32] <raptop> (pun intended)

L104[16:25:08] <Eddi|zuHause> !mission

L105[16:25:09] <LunchBot> You build some of the Star Wars fighters in KSP. You hear some incoherent screaming in the backround as Horatio Kerman dons their sunglasses.

L106[16:27:23] <Eddi|zuHause> weird crossover...

L107[16:27:48] <Eddi|zuHause> CSI Mos Eisley

L108[16:28:03] <raptop> CSI Tatooine

L109[16:28:27] <raptop> I mean, okay, there's that one TROOPS video from like 25 years ago

L110[16:46:15] <sandbox> don't give disney any ideas...

L115[18:24:49] <Eddi|zuHause> maybe they can discover who shot first

L116[18:32:45] <SporkWitch> Greedo never fired a shot, Han just dropped him

L117[18:33:46] <darsie> My comet pusher became unstable again :(.

L118[18:35:12] <sandbox> sorry about the mess

L121[19:01:11] <darsie> I can no longer attach struts.

L122[19:01:49] <Eddi|zuHause> if moar struts doesn't work, add moar boosters instead

L123[19:03:19] <darsie> With this vessle only.

L124[19:06:21] <darsie> What wouldn't stop the rod of octagonal struts from sinking into the fairing plate: http://0x0.st/HOgX.png

L125[19:09:13] <darsie> I guess I should install KJR.

L126[19:12:59] <Eddi|zuHause> !mission add You make it more rigid.

L127[19:12:59] <LunchBot> Added mission: You make it more rigid.

L128[19:18:08] <Eddi|zuHause> darsie: lose the rod, and enable the additional attachment nodes of the fairing?

L129[19:20:10] <darsie> The rod is the backbone of the upper stage, but I could shorten it.

L130[19:20:48] <Eddi|zuHause> my general impression is that less parts is better (like one big tank instead of multiple small ones)

L131[19:27:43] <Eddi|zuHause> i seem to remember having a mod with a big metal beam, i think it was the planetary base mod

L134[19:56:44] <sandbox> !mission

L135[19:56:44] <LunchBot> Inspired by the spinny disk thing used in reaction wheels and turbopumps, Wernher invents the "translation wheel". It's an ingenious device to travel on the surface without exploding so often! Some baffles added to your O'Neill cylinder prevent the unwanted hurricanes.

L138[20:19:15] <darsie> When I change the decoupler on the truss mount, the staging is messed up.

L142[20:51:52] <packbart> only Wernher would build a car with O'Neill cylinders for wheels

L144[21:00:09] <darsie> I gave up for now.

L147[22:03:30] <Eddi|zuHause> !mission

L148[22:03:30] <LunchBot> You forget to check yo' staging. The spam filter destroys all your rations.

L149[22:08:38] <raptop> I'm pretty sure that there are some missing intermediate steps involving getting stranded

L150[22:20:37] <Eddi|zuHause> intermediate steps are like fractals. there are always more intermediate steps inbetween

L151[22:25:43] <raptop> It's all fun and games until the tortoise somehow outruns achillies

L152[22:26:16] <Eddi|zuHause> that can happen in some weird projective spaces

L153[22:28:06] <Pinkbeast> Couldn't we just have the race in a space Achilles can only fit into with tremendous effort?

L159[23:35:05] <Eddi|zuHause> !outcome add You get lost in a fractal of intermediate steps, asking yourself if you ever reach the final destination.

L160[23:35:05] <LunchBot> Added outcome: You get lost in a fractal of intermediate steps, asking yourself if you ever reach the final destination.
