YOU WISH TO CONSULE THE ORACLE, MORTAL?
<raptop>
Just as long as you're not the Larry Ellison Oracle
<Solar_Oracle>
Nope, I'm one of those natural oracles like noxious fumes or flocks of birds.

"For all we know, his science-fiction could've been some peacenik screed about primitivist Neanderthals or naked princesses on Mars!" heh

For being such an important character, Mikey has as much depth and characterization as a single sheet of printer paper.
<Solar_Oracle>
And another chapter up.

"onboard grav-drives that could accelerate them to a large fraction of the speed of light in less than twenty meters" Well, at least they can't fire them in a planetary atmosphere without killing themselves
<raptop>
But, uh, also why would you shoot it at anything smaller than a carrier battle group?
* raptop
assumes that grav-drives make a mockery of recoil
<Solar_Oracle>
It would be funny if the recoil was substantial.
<Solar_Oracle>
The Posleen books *really* love ridiculous, impractical science-fiction weapons that end up performing no better in the book than conventional weapons would have.
<Solar_Oracle>
While I'm not sure if they're in this particular text, Watch on the Rhine has tanks that would dwarf Baneblades.
<raptop>
Figure that the missile is at least 1 kg, and "large fraction" means >0.5 c (γ > 1.14). That's >3 megatons in kinetic energy
<Solar_Oracle>
Hahaha! The Posleen orbit-to-surface bombardment vehicles are weak by comparison, getting no more than ten kilotons per the description in this current chapter.
* raptop
imagines a posleen hanging out the airlock of one of those dodecahedrons and aiming down at various cities
<Solar_Oracle>
I think there was an episode of The Clone Wars where they actually did that with battlefield artillery being used in space as anti-ship batteries.
<raptop>
nice
* raptop
vaguely recalls something like that, with the artillery hidden so it could ambush the ships
<Solar_Oracle>
Posleen shooting out of the airlocks would be some real Battlefield level stuff.
<Solar_Oracle>
Crap, I can't find my favorite part of Babylon 5, season 2 on YouTube.

There's something inherintly amusing about watching a zombie on another continent teach calculus
<Althego>
be honest, it was interesting when she read pi
<raptop>
it was surprisingly interesting
<Althego>
that resize trick is something you cant do on a real blackboard
<Althego>
why do we still go watch people drawing on a real one? would make more sense to sit at hgome and watch a stream
<raptop>
I'm leaning towards the idea that lectures should be entirely pre-recorded things, and the actual student/teacher meetings be recitation/homework related things and labs
<raptop>
hrm, properly deriving the power rule would mean having to do some binomial theorem silliness?
<Althego>
i dont remember :)
<raptop>
Obviously someone should troll Ollie by tweeting at her solutions to the homework involving fluxions

Boosters dive into the VAB floor if I press N.
<Althego>
what does n do
<Althego>
i think i never used that in the editor

hm, i'm having a problem with ckan. it seems to expect the game in SteamApps, but it's actually in steamapps (lowercase)... and i can't find a way to change it
<Althego>
add a symlink?
<Eddi|zuHause>
i did that, but steam complains loudly about that
<Eddi|zuHause>
it's probably correct about that, since it's one of those cases where it'll appear to work fine for years, but then randomly collapses in a weird corner case
<Eddi|zuHause>
Truga: that's probably for first time installs, not installs which have existed for years and then steam decided the path changes?
<Truga>
possibly
<Eddi|zuHause>
problem is, in the game version list, i can only "rename" them, not change the path
<Mat2ch>
Eddi|zuHause: linux? Then try a symlink
<Althego>
didnt work
<Eddi|zuHause>
well, it "works". but rings all kinds of alarm bells
<Mat2ch>
not steam
<Mat2ch>
for ckan.
<Eddi|zuHause>
huh?
<Mat2ch>
leave the steam stuff as it is and just add the symlink so ckan finds what it needs.
<Eddi|zuHause>
huh?
<flayer>
Eddi|zuHause, keep a baseball bat handy in case your computer starts rebelling against you
<Eddi|zuHause>
symlink what to where?
<Mat2ch>
ln -s steamapps SteamApps
<Eddi|zuHause>
yes.
<Eddi|zuHause>
that's what i did
<Eddi|zuHause>
that's the part that steam complains about
<Mat2ch>
hm
<Mat2ch>
my KSP folder is in steamapps, too, and ckan doesn't complain
<Eddi|zuHause>
yes, but mine was in SteamApps before
<Eddi|zuHause>
now it's not
<Eddi|zuHause>
and i can't change the entry in ckan
<Mat2ch>
I'm confused...
<Eddi|zuHause>
what's confusing?
<Eddi|zuHause>
it used to be SteamApps. then some day several years ago steam decided to rename it to steamapps
<Mat2ch>
You say ckan expects KSP in SteamApps.
<Mat2ch>
but ckan works for me fine without complaining
<Eddi|zuHause>
now i ran ckan again
<Eddi|zuHause>
and it's still looking in SteamApps
<Eddi|zuHause>
and i can't tell ckan to change the stored path
<Mat2ch>
where is the ckan binary located for you?
<Eddi|zuHause>
in some random folder i put it a few years ago
<Mat2ch>
oh, ok, that's the difference
<Mat2ch>
I place the binary usually in the KSP directory
<Mat2ch>
so no path lookup
<Eddi|zuHause>
not inside the steam folder
<Mat2ch>
(and I can have multiple KSP installs in parallel with different stuff in it, like RO+RSS)
<Eddi|zuHause>
sure. i could try to add a new instance
<Mat2ch>
well, it is small enough to do so
<Mat2ch>
also I run it from inside of a schroot environment :P
<Eddi|zuHause>
i'm afraid the "clone" command will try to copy stuff onto itself, and the "new" command will not remember the mods
<Mat2ch>
schroot -c chroot:sid_mono -p mono "/home/blabla/games/SteamLinux/steamapps/common/Kerbal Space Program/ckan.exe"
<Mat2ch>
I hope to annoy Althego with this. :D
<Althego>
i just think it is useless complexity. doesnt matter what you use
<Eddi|zuHause>
i should probably just google how to regedit with mono
<Mat2ch>
Althego: I couldn't do this as a normal user with chroot only.

Eddi|zuHause: can't you just edit CKAN's config.json?
<Eddi|zuHause>
there's no such file
<packbart>
there should be. I only use CKAN on Windows and it's in AppData\Local\CKAN. I'd expect it to be in something like ~/.config/ on Linux
