L3[00:07:56] <FLHerne> xxcoder: yes

L4[00:08:11] <FLHerne> physics would be much more exciting but also deeply frustrating

L5[00:08:41] <FLHerne> free energy from basically anywhere but nothing makes much sense

L6[00:41:29] <xxcoder> yeah

L19[07:24:40] <LunchBot> Your holddowns fail to release so the entire launchpad ends up in space. This proves difficult, as your rockets are all gummed up inside.

L43[15:51:15] <Mat2ch> !mission

L44[15:51:15] <LunchBot> You equip your aircraft with small thermobaric missiles to thwart idiots with laser pointers. One possible objection to this proposal remains--that happiness is not negatively valued. However, this objection is dismissed as scientifically irrelevant.

L45[16:08:11] <Deddly> I am positively happy with this mission and outcome.

L46[16:08:40] <Deddly> Idiots with lasers completely destroyed my hobby :(

L51[17:36:24] <Deddly> Mat2ch, I had a couple of 1w blue lasers that I did use for stargazing, but also for experimental photography, burning stuff and just generally having a lot of fun.

L52[17:38:04] <Mat2ch> Oh, because the allowed power is so limited here

L53[17:38:26] <Deddly> I was always extremely careful and followed all necessary safety precautions, but high-power lasers were outlawed without jumping through extremely draconian legislative hoops to get a special permit.

L54[17:39:11] <Mat2ch> yeah

L55[17:39:19] <Mat2ch> no EU styropyro

L56[17:39:41] <Deddly> To get a permit, you have to have a place to use it that doesn't have any windows, and you have to notify the authorities each time you want to use the laser.

L57[17:39:59] <Deddly> Styropyro is my hero

L58[17:40:55] <Deddly> I had two of these https://m.wickedlasers.com/arctic

L59[17:41:03] <Mat2ch> well, he lives so far out, he can only injure himself...

L60[17:41:33] <Mat2ch> in the same time as when styropyro visits a neighbour you can cross four countries here ;)

L61[17:43:14] <Deddly> Hehe

L62[18:09:03] <xxcoder> time to go directly to jail. "You say "whelp" and slap your knees. It is time to go. They find classified documents in your failed project pile. "

L63[18:23:22] <Mat2ch> from what I have learnt you may become president now.

L64[18:23:35] <xxcoder> lol indeed

L65[19:36:36] <Deddly> !mission

L66[19:36:36] <LunchBot> You invite everyone in IRC to try your Sausage Rocket Boosters, cooked on your hand-made poodle engine style BBQ. You activate the self-destruct sequence and all's right with the world!

L75[22:06:06] <LunchBot> If you build rocket tall enough, it's in space without having to launch at all. Genius! You cuddle the RTG.
