FLHerne: Tixall? :D
<FLHerne>
Yes
<FLHerne>
she's a ridiculous contraption
<Mat2ch>
The hat is an important part of identifying you :D
<FLHerne>
all the normal problems of living on a boat, plus it has to be on fire all the time
<Mat2ch>
and oil and water everywhere
<Mat2ch>
best part for now: We don't have a reverse gear, we just let the engine run backwards
<FLHerne>
as steamboats go, the steam-related nonsense is remarkably well contained compared to others I've been around
Izzy has joined #KSPOfficial
<FLHerne>
if you ignore the contents of the engine room (and the steam whistle) it really does feel like an ordinary if somewhat heavy and deep-draughted narrowboat
<Mat2ch>
it looks like it was built at the end of the steam era...
<Mat2ch>
so all the knowledge gained over centuries flowed into it
<FLHerne>
she's built 1987, which makes her the second-oldest currently operating steam narrowboat ;-)
<Mat2ch>
that explains a lot of things
<FLHerne>
well, right now the oldest because President's new boiler hasn't been installed yet

(President is the only non-anachronistic steam narrowboat, built 1909, although she was converted to diesel in the early 1920s so the current steam plant is much newer)
<FLHerne>
there are a few of her sisters surviving with diesel propulsion and never converted back
<FLHerne>
and there were a number of earlier steam narrowboats, particularly tunnel tugs, which haven't survived at all
<FLHerne>
reversing the engine is normal in pretty much any steam plant
Severian has quit [Ping timeout: 183 seconds]
<Mat2ch>
quite understandable though. Those were working boats and diesel engines were more efficient
<FLHerne>
also the big diesels you get in large ships
<FLHerne>
Bolinder semi-diesels in narrowboats, too

take a small towel, make it damp and put in on your neck

what also helps is to fill the sink with cold water and put your forarms in it and make yourself comfortable for five minutes or so

there are big blood vessels running through your arm which helps cooling down your body

Sweat beads on your brow when you read that your Synosiodic chamber has reached 3.5ppm with 23 side-fumbles per minute. Space folds so much that you need to setup a thunderdome for all the copies of Jeb that appear.
