01:03 <XXCoder> ;mission

01:03 <LunchBot> XXCoder: You decide to write music and release an album called "The dark side of the Mun" which is totally not a cheap ripoff. You break the absolute speed record for artificial objects.

01:03 <XXCoder> scary music i guess. makes sense since im deaf, :P

01:05 <raptop> ;outcome add Safely distant observers are unable to determine the temperature of the fireball due to doppler broadening.

01:05 <LunchBot> raptop: Added outcome: Safely distant observers are unable to determine the temperature of the fireball due to doppler broadening.

01:06 <raptop> ;mission

01:06 <LunchBot> raptop: You write a technical report about "fussion" reactor technology. On your return the media is only interested in the zero-G toilet.

01:06 <raptop> Probably better than the fake science in my report

01:08 <XXCoder> lol

01:38 <Izaya> Built a cargo variant of my spaceplane \o/ https://social.shadowkat.net/media/4068829e9d524833cfffd873f271142035bcc4a09ad2a5b5932bc3640b3fdd09.jpg

05:46 <bees> XXCoder: You use Internet Explorer 6 to download something. You almost make it to Duna, but then Ike pulls you over and asks to see your rocket license.

05:47 <bees> raptop: You attempt to do the taxes for your Space Program. You thermalize your breakfast, losing most of its energy as waste heat.

05:48 <raptop> Maybe I should have eaten breakfast instead of doing taxes

05:51 <Althego> lol

08:04 <packbart> as a simple underpaid employee, I don't need to do taxes. I hope I'll never need to start doing them

12:37 <darsie> 1337

15:10 <SporkWitch> packbart: even if you don't end up owing taxes, you still need to do the paperwork, assuming you're in the US. Blue states especially have been jacking up taxes a lot the last two years. I literally made 10k USD less in 2020 than in 2019, yet where I got a return when I filed in 2020, New York claimed i OWED money when I filed this year, because of how much they increased the amount they steal.

15:10 <SporkWitch> Can also bet that they forced through huge tax increases at the federal level this year, as well.

15:11 <SporkWitch> (failing to file every year also makes it much more difficult to file the next year, as most of the self-service tools literally use values from the previous year to validate you and allow you to file)

21:02 <Althego> lol

21:02 <Althego> i have seen kerbals as landing gears

21:02 <Althego> but this is a new level

21:03 <raptop> o_O

21:03 <Althego> aolso 5 symmetry

21:07 <kubi> pervert on many levels

21:28 <Mat2ch> but it works!

21:54 <FLHerne> ;mission add You build rover wheels out of Kerbals.

21:54 <LunchBot> FLHerne: Added mission: You build rover wheels out of Kerbals.

21:54 <Mat2ch> !mission

21:54 <LunchBot> Mat2ch: You test a rocket running Windows 8. You are devoured by the Cosmic Owl (such is the course of nature).

21:55 <Mat2ch> Yup, you should be devoured by the Cosmic Owl for using Windows.

21:55 <raptop> Mat2ch: hey, wintendos are good

21:56 <packbart> at least for games

22:07 <bees> Mat2ch: For each 'unfortunate training accident,' a tree is planted at the Inland Space Center. Someone tied your core rope memory into knots.

22:11 <raptop> And that's how the inland space center became a forest

22:21 <bees> raptop: You add one more booster. The energy release catalyzes a vacuum metastability event.

22:21 <raptop> No one can blame me for that!

22:22 <FLHerne> to be fair, I don't suppose anyone saw that coming

22:22 <darsie> Because they won't even notice it.

22:22 <raptop> :D

22:23 <FLHerne> !stupid all in one go

22:23 <LunchBot> FLHerne: "Firstly, sir, I reasoned that if I destroyed the universe all in one go no one would know."

22:24 <bees> FLHerne: You crack open a goo can. The miliary take your rocket for research into what not to do.

22:24 <darsie> I heard dropping to a lower energy vacuum will release that energy which is a lot. Will it be like a big bang?

22:24 <darsie> Or so said Matt O'Dowd.
