L21[04:51:09] <LunchBot> Bill welds a JATO rocket and some rail wheels to a 1959 Chevy Impala. Jeb demands to ride on the first test run but is fortunately overruled. While playing KSP nonstop for 73 hours a thrombosis forms in your leg and when you finally get up it travels to your lung, blocking blood flow. You die.

L22[04:51:47] <Deddly> Brutal

L23[05:03:39] <Althego> brutal mentor

L49[19:14:44] <raptop> !outcome add Several decades later, your failed Eve probe's descent module reenters Kerbin.

L50[19:14:44] <LunchBot> Added outcome: Several decades later, your failed Eve probe's descent module reenters Kerbin.

L52[20:11:42] <FLHerne> .quote venusian

L53[20:11:42] <LunchBot> "It's quite common for probes to land on the wrong planet. Also, the probe's large, flat-panel hull is ideal for the high-pressure Venusian atmosphere. And, as we all know, probes often refuse to obey directives, choosing instead to attack humans on sight."

L54[20:12:32] <raptop> That feels like it was said by either Scott Manley, or more likely someone on Futurama

L55[20:13:18] <FLHerne> Mark Watney

L56[20:13:49] <FLHerne> I think referring to the Six Million Dollar Man episode "Death Probe"

L57[20:14:10] <FLHerne> in which a Soviet Venus probe accidentally returns to Earth and starts killing people

L58[20:14:31] <raptop> hm

L59[20:14:43] <raptop> !8ball Should I read The Martian?

L60[20:14:43] <LunchBot> Your question has been outsourced to Boeing. The primary deliverable ("answer") is expected by Q3 2025.

L61[20:15:03] <raptop> Oh, good. That's close enough not to be affected by Berger's Law

L62[20:17:11] <FLHerne> raptop: obviously yes

L64[21:02:34] <Mat2ch> FLHerne: I'm through with all four Bobiverse books. Now what? :D

L65[21:02:56] <FLHerne> The fifth Bobiverse book? :p

L66[21:03:07] <raptop> Install RP-1 and Principia?

L67[21:03:07] <Mat2ch> There's a fifth book?

L68[21:03:09] <Mat2ch> Oh no

L69[21:03:30] <Mat2ch> raptop: uses up energy. Too expensive ;P

L70[21:04:04] <FLHerne> I've been reading Rosemary Kirstein's Steerswoman books

L71[21:04:31] <FLHerne> the only problem there is the series ends in a narratively frustrating place

L72[21:04:50] <FLHerne> (she's been planning to write more for 20-odd years)

L73[21:04:58] <FLHerne> but they are quite good

L74[21:07:11] <FLHerne> Mat2ch: yes, 'Not Till We Are Lost'

L75[21:07:40] <FLHerne> tbh I *really* liked the first three but not 4 and 5 so much

L76[21:09:29] <Mat2ch> the fourth one is good, but felt like a split. Too much betrail

L77[21:10:04] <FLHerne> 5 feels more like 2 and 3, perhaps too much so

L78[21:10:08] <Mat2ch> So Kirstein wants to write seven books for the whole series, but is only at the fifth (hopefully...) and started in 1989. Wow

L79[21:10:45] <Mat2ch> and the last one was published in 2004... is she really still writing?

L80[21:11:09] <FLHerne> yes, but she was having cancer and things for a while

L81[21:11:30] <Mat2ch> oh, I can see why that does set back plans

L82[21:12:02] <FLHerne> https://www.rosemarykirstein.com/2014/12/radiation-therapy-and-me/

L83[21:12:08] <FLHerne> this is very nerdy

L84[21:13:17] <FLHerne> I'm glad the operators of radiotherapy machines appreciate the odd patient who thinks having a linear accelerator fired at them is pretty neat SCIENCE actually

L85[21:15:05] <FLHerne> anyway, the first three are definitely worth reading

L86[21:15:27] <FLHerne> the fourth I found a bit frustrating given the lack of a sequel

L87[21:23:56] <Mat2ch> well, my mother had breast cancer treatment last year. Not bad, early found, small operation, but also chemotherapy. She wanted to declutter the basement for some time now, still wasn't able to

L88[21:24:49] <Mat2ch> but it's crazy to think that in 2014 the way to treat cancer was zapping it. And now we are working on just using the immune system to clear them out

L89[21:24:59] <Mat2ch> and it's working.

L91[21:36:30] <Mat2ch> Now, if we could get the immune system to clean out the basement. Now that would be an improvement!

L92[21:37:02] <Mat2ch> !mission add You modify your immune system to clean up Jeb's junkyard.

L93[21:37:02] <LunchBot> Added mission: You modify your immune system to clean up Jeb's junkyard.

L97[22:35:16] <LunchBot> You wait for the new free demo. Étendue is no longer conserved.

L98[22:35:30] <xxcoder> hmm need middle steps lol
