09:54 <Mat2ch> Judge_Dedd: SCPs are made up stories. Some kind of roleplay.

11:51 <sandbox> !mission

11:51 <LunchBot> You attempt to reduce your trajectory calculations to a quadratic equation. Okay...it didn't explode as much. You see that?

15:24 <darsie> .choose L|R

15:24 <LunchBot> R

15:29 <sandbox> !mission

15:29 <LunchBot> You attempt to spin-stabilize a tennis racket. Rokker states his opinion about your performance.

15:35 <Mat2ch> All that work and still bad at tennis.

15:50 <Rokker> sandbox: it sucked

15:50 <sandbox> !mission

15:50 <LunchBot> You dance till the Kraken comes. BlackSilver is fired out of a cannon into the sun.

18:19 <packbart> what a party

18:27 <sandbox> !mission

18:27 <LunchBot> Firstly, you reason that if you did destroy the universe all in one go no one would know; secondly, when you walloped the thing the first time the technicians ran away, so you surmise that unless they had another universe to run to they weren't really certain; and lastly the bloody thing's getting on your nerves. LunchBot explodes, emitting all kinds of deadly missions.

18:47 <FLHerne> !banlist add sandbox

18:47 <LunchBot> Added user: sandbox

18:48 <FLHerne> don't wallop my lunchbot :-(

19:01 <packbart> somebody's got to run missions every few hours *shrug*

19:02 <packbart> :)

19:02 <packbart> are there other missions than deadly missions, I wonder, though

19:37 <Mat2ch> but how can LunchBot ban sandbox, when it exploded?

19:41 <FLHerne> replaced

19:41 <FLHerne> the real one did burn to death in a fire once

19:41 <FLHerne> hence !nextfire

19:41 <FLHerne> !nextfire

19:41 <LunchBot> Never, hopefully.

19:58 <Mat2ch> !mission

19:58 <LunchBot> You have a dental mishap and begin drafting an apology in Zamibian. . . which seemed a good idea at the time, you tell the accident investigator.

19:59 <Mat2ch> Confusing

20:04 <FLHerne> .outcome add You make Kerbin the first carbon-free planet in the world.

20:04 <LunchBot> Added outcome: You make Kerbin the first carbon-free planet in the world.

20:04 <FLHerne> (lightly adapted from the 2019 Labour manifesto)

22:12 <darsie> By flying carbon based LF out of Kerbin?

22:13 <darsie> But how do you get the carbon from the last flight off Kerbin?

22:13 <FLHerne> When I say 'carbon-free', I mean it!

22:13 <darsie> :)

22:13 <FLHerne> all the limestone, all the biomass

22:15 <FLHerne> I think the easiest way is probably to vaporize the planet, carefully filter the dust and then put all the non-carbon components back together

22:17 <darsie> How about flying a centrifuge to 30 km with an electric helicopter and then throw the last carbon as LF to orbit and circularize with ions?

22:19 <darsie> Or we could say we use H2O2 as monoprop.

22:26 <FLHerne> It would be a challenge to build a carbon-free helicopter

22:26 <FLHerne> I think most batteries use graphite in the electrodes?

22:27 <FLHerne> also of course no plastic (or wood, or most resins), including stuff like wire insulation or IC encapsulation or PCBs

22:28 <darsie> You're too realistic ;).

22:28 <FLHerne> perhaps some pumice-like material would work

22:29 <darsie> But if we're realistic, we could use an electric mass driver to shoot carbon into space. Or an orbital ring.

22:30 <darsie> Hmm, you said 'Kerbin' ...

22:34 <FLHerne> I don't know if we actually know the composition of Kerbin

22:35 <FLHerne> probably not in any detail

22:35 <darsie> It's inside is empty.

22:35 <darsie> Its*

22:35 <darsie> With a singularity in the center.

22:38 <darsie> I got to 1447 m with a single stage monoprop rocket: https://0x0.st/8XIS.png

22:39 <darsie> Also we don't need to get to orbit. Just getting out of the atmosphere for a moment counts, right? You didn't say it was gonna be carbon free forever.

22:39 <darsie> Or, how about just jumping off the surface for 1 m with the remaining carbon?

22:41 <darsie> I think there's not much carbon in Earth's core and mantle. Some diamonds do form, though.

22:44 <FLHerne> darsie: That does explain how Danny keeps clipping through the surface

22:45 <FLHerne> either that or the surface material is (near-)infinitely dense, but in that case mountains would cause local gravitational anomalies which don't exist

22:46 <darsie> Has anyone measured for such anomalies? I guess the orbits are just ellipses.

22:47 <FLHerne> a lot of companies contract you to use the Negative Gravioli Detector in arbitrary places

22:47 <FLHerne> plus the science department crediting your for using it in every biome

22:48 <FLHerne> so yes, I think the gravitational field of Kerbin is well-studied

22:51 <darsie> ChatGPT says there's carbon in Earth's mantle and core ...

23:01 <FLHerne> so do more reliable sources :p

23:02 <FLHerne> it's a much smaller proportion than in the crust, but still about 90% of all the carbon by mass because there's so much more volume
