05:09 <Althego> starlink stream live

05:17 <Althego> 20 sec

05:26 <Althego> landed

05:57 <raptop> Huh, there's a Quake II remaster (along the lines of the Quake I remaster, so if you already have it on Steam it might be worth checking out)

07:38 <FLHerne> .outcome add You delay too long, and are ordered to pay a penalty greater than the world's gross domestic product.

07:38 <LunchBot> Added outcome: You delay too long, and are ordered to pay a penalty greater than the world's gross domestic product.

07:38 <XXCoder> aww

07:40 <XXCoder> ;outcome add It's not too bad, world still exists. In time, new life will evolve again, and reinvent rocket science.

07:40 <LunchBot> Added outcome: It's not too bad, world still exists. In time, new life will evolve again, and reinvent rocket science.

07:40 <XXCoder> ;mission

07:40 <LunchBot> You send the press to the space bar. The music brings you to tears.

07:41 <XXCoder> yeah the usual silence was expecially good this time

07:41 <FLHerne> I've got to say, on first spaceflight the music cutting in at 70k km is quite satisfying

07:42 <Mat2ch> Those starlink launches are too early in the day

08:17 <FLHerne> Is that the shortest F9 pad turnaround to date?

08:17 <FLHerne> must be close at least

08:52 <FLHerne> .outcome add You are asked to repeat this on a larger scale.

08:52 <LunchBot> Added outcome: You are asked to repeat this on a larger scale.

08:52 <FLHerne> .mission

08:52 <LunchBot> You make a vehicle out of physicsless parts. You discover a whole new dimension.

08:52 <XXCoder> knew it

08:52 <XXCoder> physicsless parts is inside another dimension

08:52 <FLHerne> I guess that's how the physicsless parts work

08:52 <FLHerne> ^

08:58 <XXCoder> ;mission

08:58 <LunchBot> You send an elongated object on an intersect trajectory to another star just so the inhabitants can wonder whether the object came from another sentient species. Reality got desync'd and you wake up in your VR suit.

08:59 <XXCoder> guess sending it out so far to another solar system pushed the vr limits

12:17 <FLHerne> .outcome add You find your place in the universe: impotently struggling against the massed forces of stupid, cheerful, wanton destruction.

12:17 <LunchBot> Added outcome: You find your place in the universe: impotently struggling against the massed forces of stupid, cheerful, wanton destruction.

16:48 <FLHerne> .outcome add Your skill and good judgement ensure the best possible outcome.

16:48 <LunchBot> Added outcome: Your skill and good judgement ensure the best possible outcome.

16:54 <raptop> hah!

17:33 <sandbox> do a barrel roll

17:33 <packbart> like Donkey Kong?

17:37 <raptop> Nah, for selling Boeing passenger jets

19:38 <darsie> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_dVvGQ72YY&t=791s

22:15 <sandbox> !mission

22:15 <LunchBot> You really put *everything* on a bagel. In the furthest reaches, beyond the abyss, you find the wreckage of those who came before you.

22:53 <FLHerne> existential bagel

22:58 <packbart> did you put their wreckage on the bagel, too?

22:59 <FLHerne> sandbox has left so we can't ask

23:00 <FLHerne> but it's encompassed by "*everything*", so I assume so

23:01 <FLHerne> also, that's a weird coincidence

23:02 <FLHerne> that outcome is inspired by a book I was reading at the time, and now it comes up for the first time just while I'm re-reading that book

23:12 <darsie> .outcome add You talk with ChatGPT about life, the universe and everything.

23:12 <LunchBot> Added outcome: You talk with ChatGPT about life, the universe and everything.

23:17 <XXCoder> lol

23:17 <XXCoder> ;mission

23:17 <LunchBot> You realize the engineers in the VAB and SPH aren't actually doing anything productive. Kaboosh!

23:17 <XXCoder> kaboosh! all fired!
