<umbralraptop>
Ah, 1970-style SSTOs
<TwistenX>
remember when those existed?
<TwistenX>
i dont
<TwistenX>
i wasnt alive
<umbralraptop>
Only on paper, but this is a comment on the tech levels implied by the LV-T30 and LV-T45
<TwistenX>
the most advanced engines for a beginner kerbonaut playing career for the first time
<umbralraptop>
Well, only LFEs at those points
<TwistenX>
true, gotta remember the BACC Thumper, the Flea, and the Hammer SRBs.
<Dman979>
It's allowed in the rules, and the only known side effects are developing an evil twin with a goatee
<TwistenX>
MMMMMM
<TwistenX>
SEEMS SAFE ENOUGH
<Dman979>
But that's probably before your time, too
<Dman979>
I prefer sasparilla
<TwistenX>
Barq's has rally good Root Beer
<Dman979>
The carcinogens really bring out the kick
<Dman979>
Oh jeez
<TwistenX>
?
<Dman979>
Are we done with metric/imperial and moving to A&W vs. Barqs?
<Dman979>
Sarsaparilla was root beer before root beer was root beer.
<Dman979>
But it causes cancer.
<TwistenX>
O
<TwistenX>
GOOD TO K OW
<TwistenX>
know*
* umbralraptop
slaps a prop 65 warning on the sarspilla
<TwistenX>
👍
<Dman979>
This IRC chat contains chemicals known in the State of California to cause cancer
<TwistenX>
o no
<TwistenX>
MY KERBALS IN THE VAB ARE LAGGING MY XBOX :(
<Dman979>
Twisten, do you have a forum account?
<TwistenX>
KSP CONSOLE IS PAIN
<TwistenX>
Dman, used to, it's unused now
<Dman979>
go on
<TwistenX>
"simon7495t"
<TwistenX>
i had a plan for making KSP but 2D
<TwistenX>
then I remembered I'm not good enough at programming yet
<Dman979>
KSP was 2d originally
<TwistenX>
KSP2D officially cancelled until further notice
<TwistenX>
wait really?
<Dman979>
Yep
<umbralraptop>
unity is odd though
Althego has joined #KSPOfficial
<Izaya>
there are several 2D rocket building / orbital mechanics games, fwiw
<Izaya>
I remember there being a neat one on Android
<TheKosmonaut>
umbralraptop: You got S when I got F i believe
<TwistenX>
SpaceFlight Simulqtor is EPIC
<TheKosmonaut>
anyway, I need to sort out some FLAGS
<TwistenX>
HE SPEAKS
* TwistenX
kneels
<Dman979>
Ai, ai! TheKosmonaut pftagn!
<TwistenX>
Anyways
<TwistenX>
Spaceflight Simulator is just like the KSP2D I planned on making
<TwistenX>
but SFS has less parts and it has the RSS
<Dman979>
Woo!
<TwistenX>
Dman has officially become
<TheKosmonaut>
TwistenX: I did not speak
<TheKosmonaut>
I am
<TwistenX>
A S C E N D E D
<Dman979>
Now I am become +o, destroyer of worlds
<TheKosmonaut>
Dman979: +Oo *
<TwistenX>
everyone fears him
<umbralraptop>
TheKosmonaut: so I just need to start assasinating people to become the founder?
<TwistenX>
for they do not know his true power
<Althego>
oh no, chaos cant be this cute
<TwistenX>
bro
<TwistenX>
you literally
<TheKosmonaut>
umbralraptop: I guess, I would need to disconnect entirely from Esper for a few months for you to take my F
<TwistenX>
ruined it
<umbralraptop>
Althego: that sounds like a new vtuber
<TheKosmonaut>
AFAIK you could try to ban me but I still can unban via chanserv
<TwistenX>
smört
<TwistenX>
🧠
<TheKosmonaut>
:smoothbrain: indeed
<Dman979>
We had this conversation before, Kosmo
<TheKosmonaut>
Dman979: Which one, we have like 3 types of conversations
<TwistenX>
this is most active this channel has been since I joined like (proceeds to do math) 2 years ago or something i don't rememebrr
<TheKosmonaut>
2 of them being sea-shanty related
<Dman979>
Don't mind it, Twisten, we're going to leave in 30s to 2 minutes
<TheKosmonaut>
Channel ded. Long live the channel
<TwistenX>
Oh, when the wellerman comes-
* umbralraptop
slaps Dman979 around with a pike
<TheKosmonaut>
WE’LL BE ALLLLL RIGHT
<TwistenX>
YEAHHHH
<Dman979>
IF THE WIND WAS IN OUR SAILS
<TwistenX>
WHAT HAVE I DONE
<TwistenX>
what is leave in 30s in 2 minutes
<umbralraptop>
I finally snapped: https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/204888-why-do-people-keep-on-hopping-in-the-irc-saying-at-most-hi-and-then-leaving-30s-to-2-minutes-later/&tab=comments#comment-4033369
<Dman979>
I mean, I *did* say this was an alternative to discord
<TheKosmonaut>
Dman979:LEAVE ‘ER JOHNNY LEAVE ‘ER
<Dman979>
OH THE YEAR WAS 1778
<TheKosmonaut>
HOW I WISH I WAS IN SHERBROOKE NNNOOOOW
<Dman979>
A LETTER OF MARQUE CAME FROM THE KING
<TheKosmonaut>
TO THE SCUMMIEST VESSEL I’VE EVER SEEN
<TwistenX>
oh dear
<Dman979>
GOSH DARN THEM ALL
<TheKosmonaut>
I WAS TOOOOLD
<TheKosmonaut>
WE’D CRUISE THE SEAS FOR AMERICAN GOLD
<TheKosmonaut>
WE’D FIRE NO GUNS
<TheKosmonaut>
SHED NO TEEEEEAAAARS
* TwistenX
takes a screenshot and puts it in the KSP IRC Chat Moments
<Dman979>
SHED NO TEARS
<umaxtu>
what are you two smoking?
<TheKosmonaut>
NOW IMMA BROKEN MAN ON THE HALIFAX PIER
<Dman979>
THE LAST OF BARRETTS PRIVATEERS
* umbralraptop
wouldn't expect many US ships to go privateering on for another, uh, 25-30 years
<Dman979>
OH EL CID BARRETT CRIED THE TOWN
<TwistenX>
umaxtu: they're singing sea shanties
<TheKosmonaut>
umbralraptop: The privateers in the song?
<TheKosmonaut>
I would guess it’s about the privateering for Spanish ships bringing gold
<TheKosmonaut>
1780s was mostly Brits against the Spaniards in that regard
<Dman979>
Uh
<Dman979>
No.
<Dman979>
There was a revolution happening
<Dman979>
But the historical accuracy of the song isn't really the point here
<TheKosmonaut>
Dman979: Oh *THAT*
<TheKosmonaut>
I forgot about that
<Dman979>
The point is that I'M A BROKEN MAN ON A HALIFAX PIER
<umaxtu>
any, night everyone
<TheKosmonaut>
umaxtu: Where ya think yer goin
<umbralraptop>
TheKosmonaut: ah, I was thinking of the stuff in the napoleonic wars
<umbralraptop>
umaxtu: it's not even midnight!
<TwistenX>
It's 9 o clock, clowns
<TheKosmonaut>
It is too bad privateering was “gone” by the 1860s
<TheKosmonaut>
Could have had Yankee vs Dixie pirates
* umbralraptop
waves from UT-4
<TwistenX>
New York Yankees
<TheKosmonaut>
TwistenX: Timezones, how do they work
<TwistenX>
Timezones don't exist
<TheKosmonaut>
Nearly 1300 here
<Dman979>
Technically, the U.S. Congress can still issue letters of marque
<Dman979>
And since there's still pirates around the horn of africa...
<Althego>
ah timezones, i have a bit of a backlog of flat earth videos
<Dman979>
NOW I'M A BROKEN MAN ON A MOGADISHU PIER
<TheKosmonaut>
Dman979: Pirates round the horn probably dont care about the Treaty of Pair
<TheKosmonaut>
Paris*
<Dman979>
Which one?
<TheKosmonaut>
Then again, the US didn’t either AFAIK
<TheKosmonaut>
Dman979: Congress should send privateers out. The PoTC team is probably running out of material by now
<TheKosmonaut>
Pirates of the Caribbean XXVII: Jack’s still here?
<Dman979>
I think the pi rate of the caribbean is something like 22:7
<TheKosmonaut>
Pirates of the Caribbean XXIV: Miami Vice
<TheKosmonaut>
I’m into it
<TwistenX>
oh
<TwistenX>
my
<TwistenX>
god
<Althego>
lol
<TwistenX>
what the hell happened here
<TheKosmonaut>
Jack Sparrow has a cigarette boat and rams it into a submarine, jumps in through the loading hatches and commandeers it
<TwistenX>
I LEAVE FOR 20 MINUTES
<Dman979>
We're gonna dive this sub to Davy Jones' locker
* umbralraptop
looks at TheKosmonaut's timezone and ponders
<TheKosmonaut>
umbralraptop I do run a brewery so
<umbralraptop>
Bah, most of indonesia is elsewhere
<TwistenX>
umbralraptop i thought i already told everyone timezones don't exist
* umbralraptop
threatens to use TAI for everything
<TwistenX>
its just made up by the government so they don't have to pay txes
<Althego>
they exist, but they area human concept, changed on a whim
<TwistenX>
yeah but so *dies of cough*
* TheKosmonaut
moves that the world as a whole moves to UNIX time
<TheKosmonaut>
“Hey what time is it?”
<TheKosmonaut>
*takes a deep breath*
<TwistenX>
o no
<Althego>
hehehe
<TwistenX>
COVER YOUR EARS
<Althego>
no, it is just long
<Althego>
we can shorten it by using hexadecimals :)
<TwistenX>
must be
<TwistenX>
it's been like 2 minutes of him typing
<Althego>
or simply dropping the first digits
<umbralraptop>
unix time does something silly with leap seconds IIRC
<TwistenX>
UNIVERSAL TIME SUPREMACY
<Althego>
the evil leap seconds
<Althego>
and the fact gps doesnt adjust for them
<Althego>
why must we make time so complicated?
<TwistenX>
just follow one time zone
<Dman979>
The time is now 1631938070
<TheKosmonaut>
I was writing something down but then I realized that by the time I finished it, it was wrong
<TheKosmonaut>
huh Swatch Still has a page for .beat
<TwistenX>
å
<TwistenX>
If you ever feel useless, just remember, the "Clamp-O-Tron Shielded Docking Port" has a FREAKING ANTENNA.
<XXCoder>
Althego: sadly universe arent clockwork, so gonna be complicated as long as we want to align time with universe constrants, like orbit time or rotation time
<TwistenX>
INTERNET
<TwistenX>
he's gone
<TwistenX>
wow
<Dman979>
I remain
<umbralraptop>
Can it use the antenna passively for probe range?
<umbralraptop>
Anyway, I still stand by TAI is the closest thing to the One True Time system, but we are unfortuantely trapped on the surface of a spinning spheroid
<umbralraptop>
So, UTC, LST, JD, etc are of value
<Althego>
move to venus, spins slower
<packbart>
or just speed up the Earth every now and then
<packbart>
stupid moon slows us down
<TwistenX>
Venus hardly spins, relatively to the Sun
<umbralraptop>
packbart: and that approach to leap seconds is *why* unix time is bad
<TwistenX>
wöw
<Althego>
hah, after the unit wars, we arrived to the time wars
<Althego>
is this new?
<TwistenX>
i'm not sure
<TwistenX>
ive taken like 3 breaks from IRC
<TwistenX>
the nose of my starship looks a little...
<TwistenX>
ord
<TwistenX>
odd*
<umbralraptop>
Althego: hm, next we need to fight over the kilogram I guess
<Althego>
the original one?
<TwistenX>
finally a war i didn't start
<Althego>
the physical chunk of metal
<Althego>
wasnt it platinum or something?
<TwistenX>
idk
<umbralraptop>
I think initially defined as a volume of water, than as that platinum-iridium bar, and most recently something complicated with a watt-balance I think
<TwistenX>
meh, there's other things they need to stop changing and keep constant
<packbart>
[The kg] is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h to be 6.62607015×10−34 when expressed in the unit J⋅s, which is equal to kg⋅m2⋅s−1, where the metre and the second are defined in terms of c and ΔνCs
