... couldn't sleep. Anyone else having same problem?
<hatrix>
it's 11:21 here, so not really
<JVFoxy>
0321 here...
<hatrix>
oups
<JVFoxy>
crashed midnight... ended up laying there awake for a bit. Then stupid heartburn and now.. awake. Started poke'n web for ideas on kerbal boats.
<hatrix>
it's saturday, I guess you can just stay up until you're tired
<Althego>
yes, almost time for lunch
<Althego>
although i did wake up around 2 once today
<Althego>
but i could go back to sleep
<Althego>
also silly dst coming up
<JVFoxy>
lucky
<Althego>
still a year until we can get rid of that
<JVFoxy>
eh.. already went through dst
<Althego>
and of course because of brexit, englad is going to stay on dst
<hatrix>
what's dst?
<JVFoxy>
daylight savings time
<Althego>
so they managed to this part of it the worse way too
<hatrix>
oh
<hatrix>
oh that's tomorrow
<JVFoxy>
Althego wait.. your DST kicks off different time than us?
<Althego>
yes, american dst is different time
<Althego>
there is a week or two when they not in sync
<Althego>
why do i keep missing words?
<JVFoxy>
ok.. didn't know that. (canada) we had our shift ahead first weekend of the month
<JVFoxy>
also talk about dumping it as well
<Althego>
since yesterday i have a slightly sore throat and a strange itch in my lungs when i breath in. even though i only go out to buy food
<hatrix>
I mainly don't care about DST, it's automatic everywhere and I don't see it
<hatrix>
except my old car
<hatrix>
stay at home then :)
<Althego>
automatic everywhere except on you
<JVFoxy>
we had convention first weekend of march. second weekend something hit me, but it also hit a ton of people seemingly all over the place randomly.
<hatrix>
I adapt rather quickly, I really don't see the impact on my body
<hatrix>
do you?
<Althego>
slightly in onde direction
<hatrix>
it's just like suddenly "oh, there's sun now"
<Althego>
but completely pointless because in the winter it is always dark in the morning and in the afternoon, so that 1 hour doesnt do anything. rather shrinking work hours would
<Althego>
something happened to the props in 1.9
<JVFoxy>
heh, go far north enough, day.. night, depending on how far into winter or summer, won't matter
<Althego>
i had to rotate the mirrored side manually
<Althego>
and take back the reversed deploy direction
<JVFoxy>
Althego which mod?
<hatrix>
JVFoxy: I love that about Estonia, you could still read outside at 23 :)
<Althego>
the dlc
<hatrix>
money boy
<JVFoxy>
oh.. yet to get DLC.. I've been messing with airplanes plus
<hatrix>
I've got a lot of contracts like "mine x amount of ore", I should get a drain valve on my miners to be able to mine infinitely for next contracts
<hatrix>
there's nothing like depleting a soil of its resources and throwing it away
<JVFoxy>
I'm only at the 49th on west coast... things aren't ... too bad. Though could do with less rain
<Althego>
but dont you need to take the mined matwerial somewhere?
<hatrix>
this doesn't speak to me JVFoxy, what city?
<hatrix>
Althego: not for some contracts
<hatrix>
"Extract 600 units of fresh ore from The Mun"
<JVFoxy>
Hatrix west coast BC, Canada, down by the US border near Vancouver
<hatrix>
oh right, you told me already, I should write that somewhere
<JVFoxy>
s'alright
<hatrix>
won't forget anymore :)
<JVFoxy>
I had to take down names, aliases onto a note pad for a time, while back. I'd met so many people, ended up meeting them across different mediums as well but some were under other names
<hatrix>
I remember meeting two guys and realising years later they were the same
<JVFoxy>
Althego: what you making that needs multi rotors anyways if I can poke?
<JVFoxy>
heh
<Althego>
nothing, i just loaded up some airplanes and they had lopsided thrust
<Althego>
because i thought i shouldnt work threough the weekend the 5th time in a row :)
<hatrix>
what is the easiest body to reach in the Jool system?
<JVFoxy>
remember when I downloaded a few 737s for flightsim98 back in the day. all had the engine thrustline on one side put in the wrong place. Turns out someone forgot to flip the negative for one of the coordinates
<Althego>
at least have proof now, that you can work from home. all thet useless commute was for nothing. and air pollution became a lot better
<JVFoxy>
depends on the job... i work out of a temp office, labor... pays crap but ... eh
<hatrix>
working from home is definitely possible but it's way better at the lab
<hatrix>
you need to see people to work on some stuff at some point
<Althego>
i dont
<hatrix>
depends what you work on once again
<JVFoxy>
I keep meaning to record videos of some KSP play but... loose steam pretty quickly, figuring other people done better jobs at things
<Mat2ch>
Althego: but not everyone has a room to use as home office
<Althego>
one guy on irc moved into the office instead :)
<JVFoxy>
my room is my office.. though I'm sort of lucky: loft bed over computer station
<Mat2ch>
but yes, being present in the office is not necessary to work on something
<Althego>
unless something breaks down. and we dont have a sysadmin at the moment
<hatrix>
we definitely need white boards and people to ask stuff around
<Mat2ch>
some bosses think that. But wether I'm watching youtube videos at work or at home, where is the difference? ;)
<hatrix>
eh :)
<Althego>
hehe
<Mat2ch>
hatrix: online whiteboards and video conferences
<Althego>
whiteboards... there are a ton of issue tracking systems
<hatrix>
that's not the same Mat2ch :/
<Mat2ch>
it is
<hatrix>
Althego: not for issues
<hatrix>
for physics or maths
<Mat2ch>
it's just in your head that you need the whiteboard, because you think of it as a space where you can relax and focus
<hatrix>
or to draw to explain stuff
<Mat2ch>
shared online whiteboards
<Mat2ch>
and a standing desk, so you can still walk around.
<Mat2ch>
And a big screen ;)
<Mat2ch>
We also need much much better videoconferencing hardware and software
<JVFoxy>
I'm sure there is some venting somewhere. -also a maker.. well its been a while-
<hatrix>
hmm another question, how do I calculat how much Δv I need to go from orbit to the ground? If I kill my velocity I'd still get accelerated because of the gravity
<JVFoxy>
eh... accelerated because of gravity only because you probably already falling down

Fluburtur: do'n ok there?
<Althego>
ah, it must be an elaborate anti virus mask :)
<Althego>
and people dont go near if they see you in that, so antoher layer of protection :)
<hatrix>
550m/s at 14km above the Mun sounds correct no?
<packbart>
right
<Althego>
to be honest a few km there make a very little difference
<hatrix>
510m/s at 50km apparently
<JVFoxy>
Althego: well technically I guess you could add filters to things... but would anyone know?
<Fluburtur>
besides the under average vision, it is pretty nice
<Fluburtur>
well, air has to be sucked in through the fur so that probably filters a bit
<Althego>
why didnt oyu make the ears movable
<JVFoxy>
Althego less parts, less complication..
<Althego>
but whay cooler
<JVFoxy>
perhaps... also makes them more delicate
<JVFoxy>
I thought about something similar for my fox head, but would have added a ton more time to the project. I also wanted blinking eyes but that never got finished.
