L1[00:19:21] <xxcoder> "You look at budget list for a project. You decide to cut just one corner off it, so it is a nice triangle budget. You suffer a massive headsplosion."

L20[11:30:41] <FLHerne> .mission

L21[11:30:41] <LunchBot> The orangesuits participate in a training program involving a recreation of the war epic "Bridge over the River Kwai." Your rocket fails to lift off due to weight of the ego of certain tourist in it.

L22[11:48:37] <FLHerne> .mission

L23[11:48:37] <LunchBot> You confuse locking-in with gimbal lock. The explosion is inexplicably purple.

L24[11:48:43] <FLHerne> eh

L25[11:48:44] <FLHerne> .mission

L26[11:48:45] <LunchBot> Even though Allthumbs Kerman dropped your command module oxygen tank 2 inches, you decide to fly with it anyway. Your craft corners well, for such a long thing. Like it's cutting a wedge through the air.

L27[11:49:37] <Mat2ch> I'm inclined to translate this to 5 cm

L28[11:57:10] <FLHerne> why?

L29[12:07:24] <Mat2ch> KSP is in metric units ;)

L30[12:28:59] <darsie> Should be 5.08 cm if my old brain did this correctly.

L31[12:49:31] <Mat2ch> yes, but that's neglectable

L34[14:15:09] <Althego> probably it came from the apollo 13 accident

L35[14:15:16] <Althego> what was th drop altitude there?

L36[14:39:34] <FLHerne> about two inches

L37[14:44:42] <Mat2ch> So more like 5 cm or 5.08 cm?

L46[16:11:53] <LunchBot> You attempt to fire your rockets without advance notice, against union layoff agreements. You watch in horror as the Probe Brains rise up...and flip themselves over.

L47[16:12:38] <Mat2ch> The union was not happy

L56[19:04:45] <LunchBot> Added outcome: It turns out that .08cm was important after all.

L59[19:09:02] <FLHerne> There must be *some* reason that Kerbin's only buildings are space centres

L60[19:10:47] <raptop> Is the 0.08 cm for a specific incident?

L61[19:13:32] <Althego> hehe, the rest have ascended to a higher plane

L62[19:15:26] <raptop> And then stalled out and crashed. Their bodies all poofed

L65[19:21:50] <xxcoder> .08cm is 8mm which is HUGE error in cnc industry I worked in

L66[19:21:58] <xxcoder> er 0.8mm

L67[19:22:06] <xxcoder> still huge

L68[19:22:54] <Althego> no, 0.8 mm

L69[19:23:11] <Althego> which is in some application is too much

L70[19:23:12] <xxcoder> like I said ;)

L71[19:23:26] <Mat2ch> raptop: We had a little "discussion" here if a mission can be changed from saying "2 inches" to "5 cm", but actually it would have been 5.08 cm. ;)

L72[19:24:15] <Mat2ch> Let me phrase this in Jack O'Neills words: "Good enough."

L73[19:24:18] <raptop> something something hard vs soft conversions

L74[19:24:43] <xxcoder> it really depends on what its about. within 1 mile can be highly precise

L75[19:24:59] <xxcoder> while 0.8mm could be huge error in size

L76[19:26:09] <Mat2ch> It's a joke. Y'all are overthinking it :P

L77[19:26:55] <xxcoder> ah alt was you reffering to rap comment and not mine? lol

L78[19:27:21] <xxcoder> mat sure my comment was in sillyness also, even if true

L79[19:28:08] <raptop> We're the sort of people who overthink jokes involving units

L80[19:28:16] <xxcoder> seems so

L81[19:29:20] <Mat2ch> I know. That's why I tell you that you are all overthinking this. But it was meant jokingly. I like this ;)

L83[19:53:09] <FLHerne> I know you can't make that conversion with boat propeller shafts

L84[19:53:45] <FLHerne> use a 50mm shaft in 2" bearings and it shakes itself to pieces in no time

L85[19:54:25] <FLHerne> .mission higher plane

L89[19:55:02] <FLHerne> really, no-one's done that pun?

L90[19:55:29] <FLHerne> .outcome add You ascend to a higher plane, but it stalls out and crashes.

L91[19:55:30] <LunchBot> Added outcome: You ascend to a higher plane, but it stalls out and crashes.
