You call the copse to report an orchard burglary. You notice the double-space formatting in ;mission. This messes with you to no end.

no wonder too. copse cursed me

You tire of rockets, and decide to launch craft into space with a giant gun. Cosmic rays strike your eyeballs almost constantly, preventing you from seeing what actually happened.

KSC staff swear too much on the job. The ops are unsure how to handle it, you are banned and unbanned repeatedly.

Once again I learn that if KSP loads quickly I haven't found some secret sauce to make it do that, I just accidentally loaded my clean install
<SporkWitch>
lol
<SporkWitch>
I have it installed on a Firecuda 520 nvme drive and have a Ryzen 9 3950x; my modded install takes around 5 minutes to reach the menu lol
<Pinkbeast>
I did not find moving it off spinning rust improved matters as much as I had hoped.

<SporkWitch>
for general loading it'll usually help, but with mods it's CPU and RAM that make the difference
<SporkWitch>
If I took some time to tweak the timings on my RAM that'd probably make a difference, but windows is unstable enough as it is, don't wanna eff with it
<Pinkbeast>
I'd be less vexed by it if it didn't leak memory enough on scene switching I have to have another 5-minute break every 2-3 hours

<SporkWitch>
i have 128GB of RAM, I don't worry about memory leaks lol
<Pinkbeast>
Yeah, with no mods I get something in that ballpark :-)
<packbart>
there is the thing that KSP only loads one file per graphic frame. it doesn't use vsync in the loading screen but still the GPU can be a bottleneck
<packbart>
it's especially noticeable when the framerate is restricted by an external tool (NVidia settings etc.)

I did find moving KSP to my SSD helped by 30-50%, but my HDD is SLOW - it's a big SMR drive
<Izaya>
fine for big sequential reads but terrible for random access (and even worse for random writes)
<Pinkbeast>
Oooh, bad luck

btrfs and DM-SMR drives is a surprisingly good combination but it can't do a lot in KSP's case :D

until you get the btrfs trnasid verify failed error

~10 years and no issues so far

back in the day reiserfs was gaining popularity until the creater went to jail

murdered his wife or something, right?
<packbart>
or because of it ;)

I also lost files with reiserfs and xfs

You build an Alcubierre drive. Oh, they'll be talking about it for years!

Light years, to be precise.
<raptop>
(well, not the drive, but you know...)
<Althego>
they are already talking about that for years
<Mat2ch>
But nobody has built one yet.
<Althego>
but however they reduce the exotic matter requirements, it still needs exotic matter. unless that one article could be true

"Whosoever throws banana skins on the sidewalk does a great unkindness to the public, and is quite likely to be responsible for a broken limb."
<Pinkbeast>
If you're lucky you can scroll through the comments and find someone else making the same mistake and an explanation of why it's a mistake.
<Mat2ch>
The problem is that special relativity doesn't match up with quantum mechanics and that is probably why it is wrong. Just a feeling here, to annoy physicists :D
<Mat2ch>
and it's too late, too warm and I had not enough sleep for weeks to go further into it, sadly.
<Pinkbeast>
Ah, "not relativity". But that doesn't contradict "FTL + relativity = causality violation"...
haise01 has quit [Ping timeout: 189 seconds]
<Mat2ch>
right
<Mat2ch>
For some reason I think relativity is missing something.
<Pinkbeast>
But the effects discussed in that argument are very well supported by observation.
<Pinkbeast>
(I mean, I don't really believe in all this spooky dark matter buzzing about the universe)
<Mat2ch>
yes, that's why I'm thinking we are missing something in the equations. Something important.
<packbart>
Down with causality, I say! What good has it ever done for us?
<Mat2ch>
and when we find it, we might get a way to travel faster than light.
<Pinkbeast>
Mat2ch: What I'm saying is _even if_ relativity does give, it seems unlikely to give in ways that would invalidate that argument.
<Pinkbeast>
In the same way that Newtonian mechanics gave, but the EMDrive is still bogus.
<Mat2ch>
I really wish that Mike McCulloch wouldn't be such a nagger. Because I haven't seen anyone rebut his idea in a good fashion. (because nobody seems to want to talk to him...)
<Mat2ch>
oh, and all the conspiracy theories...
<Mat2ch>
For is QI stuff he at least has some formulas
<Mat2ch>
but on the other hand, Noam Chomsky is lately going down that road, too
<Pinkbeast>
So uh "who's Mike McCulloch?" -> "fossil fuel burning civilisation around 10k BC" -> o rly
<Mat2ch>
He's the mind behind the QI theory. And there's a thrust now using that. And they have tested it in space?!

"under the conditions it will see in space", 45mN. This is just the EMDrive over again.
<Mat2ch>
ah, yes, found another article.
<Mat2ch>
There they said it's going to be in space. Well. I wonder if it works there.
<Mat2ch>
Nobody tried the EMDrive in space yet. I hope it launches soon, will end all the discussions.
<Pinkbeast>
as RationalWiki puts it "Although the magnitude of the effect is one that should be easily measurable, being far larger than the gravitational forces measured in the Cavendish experiment over 200 years ago"
<Mat2ch>
well, I like doing experiments. It's an easy way to falsify claims.
<Pinkbeast>
https://ivolimited.us/technology/ "Exclusively using the electric field, CBAT safely transmits power, making EMF radiation, harmful lasers and concentrated RF a thing of the past." using the electric field without EMF, huh? Pretty sure these are charlatans not sadly deluded.
<Mat2ch>
If the thruster works on a satellite and can help it station keeping, it will be great. If it doesn't work, we know there has to be an error somewhere.

<Mat2ch>
The IVO thruster was tested by an independent test organization. They can make mistakes, but it's different from the original EMDrive.
<Pinkbeast>
Well, except inasmuch as the original EMDrive also relied on there being subtle ways to make errors in testing.
<packbart>
Mat2ch: the paper claims that it would only deliver any thrust due to the Earth's magnetic, even after accounting for measuremenet errors introduced by the electronics
<packbart>
at least that's my tl;dr reading of the conclusion
<Mat2ch>
The paper is from 2018 on a different thing.
<Pinkbeast>
(also IDK about you but if I had a reactionless thruster I'd wire up two of them to a generator and start selling electricity. But if I was a charlatan, I'd concentrate on the space application because it's much harder to test things in space.)
<Mat2ch>
Reactionless doesn't mean powerless.
<Pinkbeast>
I'm cognisant of that, yes.
<Mat2ch>
They are only violating a few principles...
<Pinkbeast>
(But if you go fast enough the increase in KE is over-unity and the claims here make "fast enough" quite a modest speed)
<Mat2ch>
I'm looking forward to the test. Will be at least an interesting thing to watch.
<packbart>
tbh, I spaced out at "high confined accelerations". I don't even know what that means. QI doesn't even appear in The Wikipedia. ( https://en.everybodywiki.com/Quantised_Inertia )
