02:36 <raptop> !8ball is RO actually a space program management simulator that has somewhat advanced spacecraft building and sometimes even has you plug in software to guide the craft?

02:36 <LunchBot> Gno.

07:48 <sandbox> !mission

07:48 <LunchBot> You attempt to beat the spacetime rug. Things start to get ugly.

07:48 <sandbox> rugly

11:37 <darsie> 1337

11:55 <Judge_Dedd> Less

11:56 <darsie> less?

11:56 <darsie> 13:37:00 <darsie> 1337

11:56 <darsie> ntp

12:00 <Judge_Dedd> Less was 13:55

12:05 <Judge_Dedd> !mission

12:05 <LunchBot> You invent salami staging. Jeb having fun.

12:06 <Judge_Dedd> Salami staging sounds like hundreds of tiny stages dropping off... using stack separators for thrust, presumably.

12:07 <Judge_Dedd> darsie, if 1337 is Leet time, then 1355 must be Less time.

12:08 <Judge_Dedd> !nextlunch

12:08 <LunchBot> Hot buttered muffins.

12:08 <Judge_Dedd> yum

12:10 <Judge_Dedd> !lunch add Assorted Mushrooms and berries that you found in the forest, served with a glass of ice-cold spring water.

12:10 <LunchBot> Added lunch: Assorted Mushrooms and berries that you found in the forest, served with a glass of ice-cold spring water.

12:19 <Judge_Dedd> !mission

12:19 <LunchBot> You give the nuclear lunch codes to an IRC bot. Your ship disappears, and until observation the crew is both dead and alive at the same time.

12:19 <Judge_Dedd> Nuclear lunch sounds intriguing

12:20 <Judge_Dedd> !lunch add Nuclear lunch codes

12:20 <LunchBot> Added lunch: Nuclear lunch codes

12:35 <Mat2ch> !lunch

12:35 <LunchBot> Mashed eggs on bread.

13:53 <sandbox> !mission

13:53 <LunchBot> You forget to install FAR. Your sounding rocket goes ballistic.

14:37 <darsie> Goes ballistic means it ran out of fuel?

14:37 <Althego> arent sounding rockets always ballistic?

14:38 <Althego> at least parabolic

14:38 <Althego> i guess ballistic is inside the atmosphere

14:39 <darsie> Parabolic only on a flat, infinite planet. Otherwise elliptic.

14:39 <darsie> Parabolic --> infinity

14:40 <darsie> But parabolas are easier to calculate.

14:41 <Althego> so how is ballistic not the normal operation of a sounding rocket?

14:43 <darsie> It is. Just making sure that's the intended meaning.

15:29 <Deddly> It has a double meaning in English

15:30 <Althego> yes angry

15:30 <Althego> but normally you wouldnt expect rockets to be angry

15:32 <darsie> TIL ballistic also means angry ...

17:18 <sandbox> did anyone else get an invite to join the Deadlock playtest on Steam?

17:23 <darsie> no

17:31 <Az> no

18:21 <xxcoder> nope

18:21 <xxcoder> ;mission

18:21 <LunchBot> Vac-Co Suction contracts you to rescue The Mun, which is stranded in orbit around Kerbin with valuable data, and return it to Kerbin. Someone suggests switching SCE to Aux.

18:22 <xxcoder> hmm

18:39 <Mat2ch> !mission

18:39 <LunchBot> The Kerbal Rocket Administration (KRA) issues an emergency order requiring you to "discontinue operation of all rockets, aircraft and any other flying vehicles or equipment under any circumstances," stating that the space program is operating with "a complete disregard for the safety of the public." You fail more successfully than before.

18:40 <Mat2ch> So the mission was a success, but a fail, because it was forbidden?

19:46 <Mat2ch> Oh, great, the heatwave goes into overtime

19:47 <Althego> oh 37 tomorrow

19:53 <Mat2ch> yis

19:53 <Mat2ch> another week, another heat

19:54 <Althego> and 36 all week for me

19:54 <Mat2ch> oh, and Germany seems to be the only country that wants to make installing AC even harder. I can't even. (Yes, almost politics)

20:09 <xxcoder> dual duct portable ac

20:15 <Mat2ch> There are already mini-split ACs!

20:15 <Mat2ch> 10 kg unit for the outside, 25 kg on the inside

20:16 <Mat2ch> expensive though, but better than monoblocs and much more efficient

20:16 <Althego> can we make it human portable? say a west that is cooling you

20:16 <Althego> why cool the whole room, that does not need it

20:16 <Mat2ch> NASA has some ideas for this

20:16 <Althego> but i need to sleep

20:50 <Mat2ch> xxcoder: https://www.midea.com/de/klimatisieren-heizen/portasplit

20:50 <Mat2ch> I bet this is something for the EU market only, because elsewhere it is absolutely normal to have real split AC

20:52 <xxcoder> looking

20:52 <xxcoder> oh interesting indeed

20:53 <Mat2ch> yes. Sold out everywhere.

20:56 <Mat2ch> Things I hate about KSP: You have to go to the main menu to change key bindings...

20:59 <Mat2ch> and it doesn't recognize my controller :( So much for fine control

21:08 <packbart> with out without the controller mod?

21:08 <packbart> ( https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/topic/175359-112x-afbw-revived-joystick-controller-mod/ )

21:11 <xxcoder> ugh https://www.reuters.com/technology/space/chinese-rockets-breakup-puts-over-1000-satellites-other-objects-risk-2024-08-09/

21:18 <packbart> doing the Kessler run again

21:28 <Mat2ch> packbart: oh, I have to try that one

21:32 <Mat2ch> 800 km high. That'll be a decade at least

21:33 <Mat2ch> we really should start cleaning up the orbits.

21:33 <Mat2ch> The ocean is getting a cleanup already

21:33 <xxcoder> yeah still uncertain on how

21:37 <Mat2ch> the easiest thing would be a very tough sat that catches the smaller parts in some kind of gel

21:37 <Mat2ch> and the bigger parts... dock small thrusters ;)
