L7[02:36:44] <raptop> !8ball is RO actually a space program management simulator that has somewhat advanced spacecraft building and sometimes even has you plug in software to guide the craft?

L8[02:36:44] <LunchBot> Gno.

L24[07:48:43] <sandbox> !mission

L25[07:48:44] <LunchBot> You attempt to beat the spacetime rug. Things start to get ugly.

L26[07:48:59] <sandbox> rugly

L50[11:37:01] <darsie> 1337

L51[11:55:55] <Judge_Dedd> Less

L52[11:56:27] <darsie> less?

L53[11:56:50] <darsie> 13:37:00 <darsie> 1337

L54[11:56:56] <darsie> ntp

L55[12:00:55] <Judge_Dedd> Less was 13:55

L56[12:05:32] <Judge_Dedd> !mission

L57[12:05:32] <LunchBot> You invent salami staging. Jeb having fun.

L58[12:06:41] <Judge_Dedd> Salami staging sounds like hundreds of tiny stages dropping off... using stack separators for thrust, presumably.

L59[12:07:18] <Judge_Dedd> darsie, if 1337 is Leet time, then 1355 must be Less time.

L60[12:08:14] <Judge_Dedd> !nextlunch

L61[12:08:15] <LunchBot> Hot buttered muffins.

L62[12:08:19] <Judge_Dedd> yum

L63[12:10:12] <Judge_Dedd> !lunch add Assorted Mushrooms and berries that you found in the forest, served with a glass of ice-cold spring water.

L64[12:10:13] <LunchBot> Added lunch: Assorted Mushrooms and berries that you found in the forest, served with a glass of ice-cold spring water.

L65[12:19:13] <Judge_Dedd> !mission

L66[12:19:13] <LunchBot> You give the nuclear lunch codes to an IRC bot. Your ship disappears, and until observation the crew is both dead and alive at the same time.

L67[12:19:30] <Judge_Dedd> Nuclear lunch sounds intriguing

L68[12:20:01] <Judge_Dedd> !lunch add Nuclear lunch codes

L69[12:20:01] <LunchBot> Added lunch: Nuclear lunch codes

L70[12:35:54] <Mat2ch> !lunch

L71[12:35:54] <LunchBot> Mashed eggs on bread.

L73[13:53:34] <sandbox> !mission

L74[13:53:34] <LunchBot> You forget to install FAR. Your sounding rocket goes ballistic.

L82[14:37:09] <darsie> Goes ballistic means it ran out of fuel?

L83[14:37:50] <Althego> arent sounding rockets always ballistic?

L84[14:38:21] <Althego> at least parabolic

L85[14:38:27] <Althego> i guess ballistic is inside the atmosphere

L86[14:39:29] <darsie> Parabolic only on a flat, infinite planet. Otherwise elliptic.

L87[14:39:41] <darsie> Parabolic --> infinity

L88[14:40:20] <darsie> But parabolas are easier to calculate.

L89[14:41:02] <Althego> so how is ballistic not the normal operation of a sounding rocket?

L90[14:43:36] <darsie> It is. Just making sure that's the intended meaning.

L94[15:29:31] <Deddly> It has a double meaning in English

L95[15:30:05] <Althego> yes angry

L96[15:30:17] <Althego> but normally you wouldnt expect rockets to be angry

L97[15:32:53] <darsie> TIL ballistic also means angry ...

L100[17:18:06] <sandbox> did anyone else get an invite to join the Deadlock playtest on Steam?

L101[17:23:23] <darsie> no

L102[17:31:23] <Az> no

L103[18:21:29] <xxcoder> nope

L104[18:21:34] <xxcoder> ;mission

L105[18:21:34] <LunchBot> Vac-Co Suction contracts you to rescue The Mun, which is stranded in orbit around Kerbin with valuable data, and return it to Kerbin. Someone suggests switching SCE to Aux.

L106[18:22:00] <xxcoder> hmm

L107[18:39:35] <Mat2ch> !mission

L108[18:39:35] <LunchBot> The Kerbal Rocket Administration (KRA) issues an emergency order requiring you to "discontinue operation of all rockets, aircraft and any other flying vehicles or equipment under any circumstances," stating that the space program is operating with "a complete disregard for the safety of the public." You fail more successfully than before.

L109[18:40:33] <Mat2ch> So the mission was a success, but a fail, because it was forbidden?

L113[19:46:42] <Mat2ch> Oh, great, the heatwave goes into overtime

L114[19:47:40] <Althego> oh 37 tomorrow

L115[19:53:46] <Mat2ch> yis

L116[19:53:53] <Mat2ch> another week, another heat

L117[19:54:00] <Althego> and 36 all week for me

L118[19:54:17] <Mat2ch> oh, and Germany seems to be the only country that wants to make installing AC even harder. I can't even. (Yes, almost politics)

L119[20:09:09] <xxcoder> dual duct portable ac

L123[20:15:11] <Mat2ch> There are already mini-split ACs!

L124[20:15:41] <Mat2ch> 10 kg unit for the outside, 25 kg on the inside

L125[20:16:08] <Mat2ch> expensive though, but better than monoblocs and much more efficient

L126[20:16:10] <Althego> can we make it human portable? say a west that is cooling you

L127[20:16:18] <Althego> why cool the whole room, that does not need it

L128[20:16:21] <Mat2ch> NASA has some ideas for this

L129[20:16:37] <Althego> but i need to sleep

L134[20:50:30] <Mat2ch> xxcoder: https://www.midea.com/de/klimatisieren-heizen/portasplit

L135[20:50:55] <Mat2ch> I bet this is something for the EU market only, because elsewhere it is absolutely normal to have real split AC

L136[20:52:26] <xxcoder> looking

L137[20:52:36] <xxcoder> oh interesting indeed

L138[20:53:24] <Mat2ch> yes. Sold out everywhere.

L139[20:56:58] <Mat2ch> Things I hate about KSP: You have to go to the main menu to change key bindings...

L140[20:59:22] <Mat2ch> and it doesn't recognize my controller :( So much for fine control

L141[21:08:01] <packbart> with out without the controller mod?

L142[21:08:30] <packbart> ( https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/175359-112x-afbw-revived-joystick-controller-mod/ )

L144[21:11:05] <xxcoder> ugh https://www.reuters.com/technology/space/chinese-rockets-breakup-puts-over-1000-satellites-other-objects-risk-2024-08-09/

L148[21:18:16] <packbart> doing the Kessler run again

L152[21:28:59] <Mat2ch> packbart: oh, I have to try that one

L153[21:32:59] <Mat2ch> 800 km high. That'll be a decade at least

L154[21:33:18] <Mat2ch> we really should start cleaning up the orbits.

L155[21:33:25] <Mat2ch> The ocean is getting a cleanup already

L156[21:33:54] <xxcoder> yeah still uncertain on how

L157[21:37:37] <Mat2ch> the easiest thing would be a very tough sat that catches the smaller parts in some kind of gel

L158[21:37:51] <Mat2ch> and the bigger parts... dock small thrusters ;)
