L33[11:20:28] <Mat2ch> I never made an account...

L34[11:21:09] <Mat2ch> well, nickserv and chanserv do answer

L35[11:43:20] <Deddly> It's giving me an error about certificates

L36[11:44:36] <Mat2ch> Did you try changing the server?

L39[12:05:34] <Deddly> I haven't tried that, no. But it's also working again on the mobile now

L40[12:05:58] <Deddly> It seems to be a sporadic problem. So perhaps you're right in that it might be one specific server

L41[12:06:12] <Deddly> !mission

L42[12:06:12] <LunchBot> You will control the horizontal. You will control the vertical. You can roll the aircraft, make it flutter.

L46[12:13:05] <Mat2ch> ewww, I hate ticks

L50[12:13:40] <Deddly> Mat2ch, do you have pets?

L51[12:14:09] <Deddly> They can sometimes hitch a ride on a pet and come inside. I hate them too.

L52[12:14:40] <Mat2ch> No. I carried it in my hair and it walked down my neck, where I felt something hard. It then fell on the floor and I didn't see it

L53[12:15:00] <Mat2ch> until it bit me three days later.

L54[12:15:33] <Deddly> !mission add Just as the pilot is about to execute a highly-delicate manoeuvre, the sound of a mosquito is heard in the cockpit.

L56[12:15:48] <Deddly> Mat2ch, Yuck

L57[12:17:38] <Mat2ch> Yes, I hate those buggers and I want them extinct.

L58[12:17:55] <Mat2ch> also mosquitos and horse flies

L59[12:58:17] <Deddly> Fun fact: Only female mosquitoes are blood suckers

L60[12:58:25] <Deddly> And not all of the time, either.

L61[13:01:22] <Deddly> It's not difficult to find interesting facts that show that mosquitoes are benefitial to the environment, but ticks basically exist to be eaten or to kill other animals

L63[14:00:35] <darsie> I built a helicopter to fly from Eve's coast to the sea and back to get a water sample: https://i.ibb.co/5hWd6Q1L/2025-06-17-151928-1680x1050-scrot.png

L64[14:00:59] <darsie> The monoprop tanks are empty for flotation.

L65[14:24:56] <Mat2ch> Mosquitos can be genetically altered so that the female mosquitos can produce the proteins themselves again to develop eggs.

L66[14:25:09] <Mat2ch> They have lost that ability somewhere during their evolution

L67[14:25:37] <Mat2ch> darsie: the placement of the rotors are so Kerbal...

L73[16:19:36] <darsie> :)

L74[16:20:06] <Judge_Dedd> Mat2ch, that is veriy interesting. Any idea where I can read about that?

L75[16:32:36] <Mat2ch> Judge_Dedd: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1717502115 this is all I could find

L76[16:32:46] <Mat2ch> I hate the internet now. You can't find anything related anymore :(

L77[16:33:17] <Mat2ch> There was some paper from 2024 about the gene (maybe genes?) that had to be switched so they went non-biting

L78[16:34:13] <Mat2ch> now, who is with me in eradicating ticks? :D

L88[18:20:55] <xxcoder> landing too fast, crashed, but lived

L89[18:21:09] <raptop> I guess

L100[18:35:35] <raptop> We'll ignore for the moment that there are no fish on Kerbin

L101[18:35:55] <xxcoder> sure there are. its just invisible, like most lifeforms on world.

L102[18:36:25] <xxcoder> only visible species is kerbals, caucuses, grass and trees.

L103[18:36:28] <raptop> I guess that's a way to avoid ~~predation~~ collection as science points

L104[18:37:11] <xxcoder> I think most kerbals is invisable too. ones in ksp is weird exception and thats why theyre trying to leave.

L105[18:37:36] <raptop> Hm. Most krakens are also invisible, really
