01:35 <raptop> france naming things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacebus

01:35 <galois> [WIKIPEDIA] Spacebus | "Spacebus is a satellite bus produced at the Cannes Mandelieu Space Center in France by Thales Alenia Space. Spacebuses are typically used for geostationary communications satellites, and seventy-four have been launched since development started in the 1980s. Spacebus was originally produced by Aérospatiale..."

01:35 <raptop> (compare with that satellite that has adequately sized reflectors)

01:57 <egg|anbo|egg_> raptop: what is weird about « spacebus » as a name

01:59 <egg|anbo|egg_> it fits nicely with the naming of some other french aerospace things, too,

01:59 <raptop> well, yes

02:01 <egg|anbo|egg_> airbus: aeronautics; spacebus: astronautics; catbus: felinautics?

03:17 <raptop> egg|anbo|egg: that's just silly. catbus is abenomics

03:59 <raptop> !8 Did the surprise rain shower damage the telescope?

03:59 <galois> raptop: no

03:59 <raptop> yay

04:01 <raptop> surprise rain, not sure how much got on the telescope before I noticed/closed the dome

13:54 <raptop> Yep, this confirms ellie's conspieracy theory

17:54 <galois> raptop: Your options: "nyaa", "scream, of, anguish", "both". My choice: "nyaa"

17:54 <raptop> nyaa

19:58 <whitequark> raptop: can i tweet that and would you like attribution

19:58 <whitequark> wait, do you even still have a twitter

19:59 <raptop> whitequark: uh, the wikifinds, or the other one (which is taken from an SMBC comic)

19:59 <whitequark> wikifinds

20:00 <raptop> Ah. Yes to both

20:00 <raptop> @patrick_exo since I'm playing at being professional on main

20:00 <whitequark> oh!
