<packbart> "terrible" according to the video description
<packbart> no mods, either
<packbart> I haven't watched it yet
<packbart> doesn't look that terrible (for the first launch)

<Althego> nice, you got it
<darsie> :)
<Althego> i would have missed it
<darsie> too late now
<Althego> zombanwa
<Althego> it wasnt even time yet
<Althego> !tim

<Althego> kikkerikii
<Althego> was kind of sad sounding
<sandbox> 1337
<darsie> That hour didn't last long.
<Althego> rolling leet
<Althego> ideally we should be able to have oine every hour
<Althego> or even more, because there are the funky timezones
<darsie> I doubt we have one from every TZ here.
<Mat2ch> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KD4RXrI0ZWU Maybe the gods are happy now. :D
<Althego> hah új action
<Althego> hónapok óta nem volt kapása
<Althego> de kitartóan ment tovább
<Althego> mióta megemelték a hidat sokkal kevesebben akadnak meg
<Althego> oh wait i was here
<Althego> anyway what i wanted to say is that no new action happened there for months, because the frequency of incidents went down since the bridge was raised
<Mat2ch> Yeah, boring.
<Mat2ch> We should lower that bride.
<Mat2ch> *bridge
<Althego> supposedly there are other similar bridges in the area
<umaxtu> you talking about the 11foot8 bridge?
<Althego> yes
<umaxtu> they raised it? I thought they couldn't raise it cause the RR company didn't want to play ball
<Althego> i know it from the same channel
<Althego> he covered the process
<Althego> it is even in the titles now 11foot8+8 bridge
<darsie> Maybe put some steel plates just above the sewer pipes to lower the ground.
<Althego> i think that is what they did
<Althego> plus the new base for the tracks

<Althego> just this stream she was upset about firechicken
<Althego> not about hot wings
<Althego> just as reine doesnt like turkey :)
<Althego> she also mentioned in the past that she saw that farming game streams and everybody named the chickesn kiara :)
<Althego> and didnt like that

<darsie> I landed my ore transporter on Minmus, filled it up with the rolling refinery, drove the refinery out of the way in a curve, tilted and broke a Gigantor :(.
<Althego> gigantor, also known as phuket word (a flat earther)
<Althego> phuket despite how it sounds, is an area in thailand

<umaxtu> has the drought situation gotten any better?
<Althego> i heard about some drought in asia that is so bad that all water is needed for people, so semiconductor production is in danger
<umaxtu> thats the one I was referring too

<darsie> I loaded the previous state.
<darsie> Haven't thought of repair.

<darsie> I lost a solar panel and an airbrake on entry, but made it with just one airbrake. 2400 ore to Kerbin.

<flayer> woot, managed to bring my mobile research lab on wheels back into orbit
<umaxtu> noice!

<Althego> what is this, a spacecraft for fish? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1_bkuWCmO4
<Mat2ch> well, it swims.
* darsie didn't have quite enough dv to get into a 30/25 Mm retro orbit with a sat, so I launched prograde and did a bielliptic transfer :).
<Althego> hehe
<Althego> if you have the time
<darsie> I didn't check :).
<darsie> Usually it's years.
<darsie> It's about half way between Mun and Minmus.
<Althego> was it in pop t2t? when you went into the menu you heard the empress saying: i have all the time in the world
<darsie> 277 m/s left.
<Althego> way more than needed :)
<Mat2ch> :D
<Althego> oh wait it is a playlist
<umaxtu> apparently General Fusion is going to build a demo plant
<Mat2ch> Althego: that's why I said you should give it your media player :)
<Althego> right next to major glory?
<Mat2ch> umaxtu: when, where and how long are they going to take?
<Althego> fusion plant?
<umaxtu> Althego, yup
<umaxtu> Mat2ch, they seem to have announced a contract with an architecture firm back in November when we were all distracted with other stuff
<umaxtu> not much else in the way of details other then this concept video they just released. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRk9Ud4egmo
<Althego> ah this is the piston thing
<Althego> this seems to bee too simple to be true
<Althego> but there was so much research on the tokamak and it is stilln ot ready. maybe the tesselator is going to work
<umaxtu> in concept, it doesn't seem that much more complicated then an ICE
<Mat2ch> nice concept, now lets get to all the problems they will run into. :D
<Althego> ICE is complicated :) https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc8445
<umaxtu> ha ha ha
<umaxtu> there will be problems for sure. but they have been working away at this for a while now
<Althego> yes these complicated problems you dont know of before trying to build it. that is what kept fusion from happening
<Mat2ch> I wish them success
<Althego> me too
<Althego> i want fusion
<Mat2ch> but the pistons need to be lubricated somehow
<Althego> because people are too afraid of nuclear
<Althego> so they posion themselves with coal plants
<Mat2ch> the lubricant will thin out the liquid metal
<Althego> i guess you could filter these out
<Althego> or the lubricant will float on top anyway
<Mat2ch> it's not about coal vs. nuclear planets. This is a typical trick to distract from the fact that we need real clean power. And we could already have it if we weren't fighting over coal vs. nuclear.
<Mat2ch> the lubricant will be some kind of oil and burn in the reactor
<Mat2ch> the timing has to be right
<Mat2ch> the liquid metal bubble needs to be a bubble otherwise the fusion will go everywhere and destroy the reactor
<Mat2ch> it is still using steam/heat not a way that generates electrons
<Althego> that is probably hard but not that much
<Mat2ch> nice idea, probably wont work...
<Althego> unfortunately we cant reallyget around the steam phase
<Althego> each of these reactors always produces heat
<Althego> so we ultimately end up with a turbine
<Mat2ch> I guess it has something to do with the engineers behind it. They know steam turbines and think it's a good idea to build on top of it
<Althego> what else would you do?
<Mat2ch> Well, having a vision helps
<Mat2ch> just "let's do fusion and make heat from it" is not a vision
<Althego> what physical effect would you exploit?
<Althego> since fusion does not really exist, i think it as a vision
<Althego> in the interim we should be on nuclear. for the last 50 years at least
<Mat2ch> nuclear fusion is neither clean, nor CO2 free and then there is still the storage problem.
<Mat2ch> we could have wind and solar power for the world by now.
<Althego> you have to build the plant and maintian it that is true
<Mat2ch> With molten salt systems
<Althego> no you cant
<Mat2ch> we could.
<Althego> without large scale scalable storage
<Mat2ch> Molten salt.
<Althego> we have pumped storage, but you cant put that everywhere, it needs specific locations
<Althego> yes molten salt is nice
<Althego> we should have more of that
<Mat2ch> How often do I have to say molten salt again? ;)
<Mat2ch> The peak energy is when the sun is up
<Mat2ch> so most of the energy provided by solar is used right away
<Althego> traditional solar and wind is just too unreliable, you camnt adapt to needs
<Althego> btw molten salt also uses the usual steam thing
<Mat2ch> wind is not unreliable
<Mat2ch> that's a myth
<Althego> not a vision :)
<Mat2ch> molten salt is a very old technology, it is allowed to use steam. :D
<Mat2ch> But if you want to think ahead then you would be working on a fusion generator that works in space.
<Althego> epstein drive :)

<packbart> cruising at a leisurely 800c still takes ages just to get to the second star in a binary...
<packbart> the commander doesn't really look happy https://formularfetischisten.de/~packbart/temp/ed3a.jpg (not KSP ;)
<Althego> ah elite
<packbart> I even bought him a new toy https://formularfetischisten.de/~packbart/temp/ed3b.jpg
<Althego> that face
<Althego> he is just like, oh i cant take this anymore
<packbart> he isn't even out of the newbie sector yet
<Mat2ch> Althego: the face we all have currently. Except a few people who live in countries that value science...
<Althego> why
<Althego> i enjoyed 2020
<Althego> work was never so comfrtable
<Althego> an since thi is our second year, maybe companies realize you dont have to be contantly in the office
<packbart> but I like being in the office :)
<Althego> hehe
<Mat2ch> I don't
<Althego> there are slight positive effects
<Althego> the problem is, i have to get there
<Althego> and then come back
<packbart> I even miss meetings with clients. coffee and sandwiches included
<Althego> lol
<Althego> kiara is still streaming, close to 7.5 hours
<Althego> come on i cant go to sleep liek this
<Althego> just finish it
<packbart> my ship finally arrived. who'd think that a mere 480 kilolightseconds would take so long with FTL-drives
<Althego> hehe
<Althego> must be transported by local post
<Althego> be happy it arrives at all
<packbart> well, the autopilot was flying at 800c while I was back in the galley :)
<Althego> hehe
<Mat2ch> 800c is a lot
<Mat2ch> where are you traveling?
<packbart> from a main star to its binary dwarf. just looking at all the uninhabited star systems in the Pilot's Federation newbie sector
<packbart> (from Lia Fail A to B)
<Althego> i hate systems with long approaches like that
<Althego> when you get missions like that, it is just pain, or rather not take thm
