00:04 <LunchBot> Added mission: You assume that all cows are spheres flying through a vacuum.

00:23 <raptop> !mission

00:23 <LunchBot> You set off to write an OS for your onboard computers. Your blubbering displeases the Kraken.

00:24 <raptop> Yeah, working with computers at that level would cause SAN damage

00:24 <raptop> !mission add You etch complex poisoned runes into sand, and then run lightning through them.

00:24 <LunchBot> Added mission: You etch complex poisoned runes into sand, and then run lightning through them.

00:28 <raptop> Hrm, there's probably no good line to sneak in a Leiningen Versus the Ants ref

00:34 <funkenstein> ;mission

00:34 <LunchBot> You are tasked with fixing an overpopulation of kerbals. You get caught up in an argument over units of measurement and do not go to space today.

00:34 <funkenstein> g vs K

00:34 <funkenstein> (gallons of goo vs kilograms of kerbal)

00:35 <raptop> reminder that there's nothing stopping you from measuring temperatures in eV

00:35 <raptop> Well, aside from the fact that literally only physicists will understand you

00:39 <raptop> !mission add You complain about people swapping around parts/stages, insisting that this is unrealistic and "rockets are not legos".

00:39 <LunchBot> Added mission: You complain about people swapping around parts/stages, insisting that this is unrealistic and "rockets are not legos".

00:40 <raptop> (They're not, but pretending that they are is considerably less wrong)

00:41 <raptop> !outcome add The Kraken dines on your kerbals.

00:41 <LunchBot> Added outcome: The Kraken dines on your kerbals.

00:42 <raptop> !outcome add The Kraken drinks all the mystery goo.

00:42 <LunchBot> Added outcome: The Kraken drinks all the mystery goo.

00:44 <raptop> !mission add You attempt to replenish your monopropellant supply with mystery goo.

00:44 <LunchBot> Added mission: You attempt to replenish your monopropellant supply with mystery goo.

00:44 <raptop> !mission add You attempt to refill your mystery goo cannisters with monopropellant.

00:44 <LunchBot> Added mission: You attempt to refill your mystery goo cannisters with monopropellant.

00:46 <raptop> !outcome thermali

00:46 <LunchBot> You thermalize your breakfast, losing most of its energy as waste heat.

00:46 <raptop> > not eating a fast breakfast

00:51 <SporkWitch> raptop: the teapot in orbit of the sun is a famous hypothetical about unprovable hypotheses, especially in the context of gnostic atheism ("i know god does not exist," as opposed to agnostic atheism "i've not seen evidence to imply a god exists"). There might be a teapot in orbit of the sun, but because it's so tiny, it's functionally unprovable, so you can't definitively state there isn't one,

00:52 <SporkWitch> only the absence of evidence that there is one.

00:52 <SporkWitch> i'm assuming he's reading the second part about a tentacle as a reference to The Flying Spaghetti Monster, a legal religion that's openly made up

10:44 <FLHerne> I don't think the FSM's tentacles are robotic

10:45 <FLHerne> at least according to mainstream Pastafarians, there's probably some offshoot cult

13:02 <funkenstein> ;mission add You miscalculate the eV, and it evolves unexpectedly.

13:02 <LunchBot> Added mission: You miscalculate the eV, and it evolves unexpectedly.

13:07 <darsie> the electron volt?

13:17 <UmbralRaptop> eV and eevee are pronounced the same…

13:41 <darsie> eevee?

13:47 <raptop> eevee! https://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/e/e2/133Eevee.png

13:47 <sandbox> is there any other eevee?

13:48 <raptop> not that I'm aware of

14:17 <Pinkbeast> Expected Value

14:23 <raptop> <eevee||eevee> = 1?

14:25 <Althego> unit vector?

14:26 <raptop> Taking the expected value of a pokemon

14:27 <Althego> ah it wasnt scalar product, but conditional probability

14:28 <sandbox> missingno

15:20 <darsie> exposure value

15:25 <SporkWitch> eevee, the card counting pokemon :P lol

17:15 <funkenstein> ;mission

17:15 <LunchBot> You attempt a Grand Tour of the restaurants in your area. Bill has a luncheon-meat-induced seizure.

17:15 <funkenstein> wow

17:15 <funkenstein> that's delightful

17:16 <SporkWitch> but did he get to Meet the Meat?

17:17 <SporkWitch> https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/158184-the-waiter-approached-would-you-like-to-see-the-menu

17:33 <Mat2ch> Ah, at the End of the Universe

17:33 <Mat2ch> Was happy though

18:34 <SporkWitch> not space, technically, but might still be entertaining to this crowd. Someone modified a buzz lightyear toy to actually fly lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OadJCyZge3A

21:11 <SporkWitch> ... when you end up making something not only significantly better than the previous version, but cheaper... lol

21:12 <Mat2ch> Said no one ever.

21:12 <Mat2ch> It is better now. Let's make it more expensive.

21:13 <Mat2ch> btw, was someone waiting for AM5 and DDR5? Asus dropped some prices: https://videocardz.com/newz/first-preorders-for-asus-x670-motherboards-now-available-in-europe-for-e510-to-e1475

21:13 <SporkWitch> fiddling around with different engines and layouts, i ended up doubling my TWR at the cost of only a couple hundred m's ΔV, and significantly reduced the length of the ship so it maneuvers better lol

21:13 <SporkWitch> it costs 223k (compared to the 232k of the original)

21:14 <SporkWitch> i'm waiting on GPUs, I'm content with my current board, CPU, and RAM

21:14 <Althego> i am waiting for the new platform / cpu / gpu / ssd

21:14 <Mat2ch> well, I had planned to upgrade next year or so. But well, I guess my system will last another two or three years...

21:16 <SporkWitch> i'm waiting on a background check to find out if my job offer is going to implode or not. if it does, i'll be homeless in a month because i already gave notice at my current job. if it doesn't, my income doubles and i'm buying myself an RTX-30-series as a celebration gift before putting all of the increase in earnings into savings (pending being able to convert it to crypto and other assets

21:17 <SporkWitch> whose value isn't actively and intentionally being destroyed)

21:18 <SporkWitch> needless to say, was not a good weekend to run out of cigarettes; hate waiting on this crap

22:30 <funkenstein> You travel 160934.4 kilometers and feel as if you are stationary.

22:30 <funkenstein> oops

22:30 <funkenstein> ;mission add You travel 160934.4 kilometers and feel as if you are stationary.

22:30 <LunchBot> Added mission: You travel 160934.4 kilometers and feel as if you are stationary.

22:31 <funkenstein> hopefully the reference is not lost on anyone

22:31 <sandbox> all is lost

22:32 <funkenstein> space oddity

22:33 <sandbox> at least you didn't say stationery

22:34 <funkenstein> ;mission add You send a letter but it remains stationery.

22:34 <LunchBot> Added mission: You send a letter but it remains stationery.

22:35 <SporkWitch> you made him ragequit lol

22:35 <funkenstein> xD

22:36 <SporkWitch> also, RIP Bowie

23:13 <funkenstein> ;mission

23:13 <LunchBot> You go back in time to save the mother of the man who defeats the robot uprising. You try to unsee it.

23:13 <funkenstein> lol

23:27 <FLHerne> I guess the past sucks

23:27 <SporkWitch> the 80's and 90's were pretty great, musically

23:51 <UmbralRaptop> Back when Metallica was good?

23:51 <SporkWitch> many better bands than them, but yes, back before Metallica was pure anti-fan garbage

23:59 <funkenstein> let's not neglect the seventies
