00:48 <GreeningGalaxy> I feel like science shows used to be better

00:49 <GreeningGalaxy> Whole Foods has "Impossible Engineering" playing, and it's all about how some big ship for rich people to putter around on managed to be SO BIG without breaking apart.

00:55 <GreeningGalaxy> "the ship has to be able to maneuver into port, because otherwise it wouldn't be useful as a ship. To make it do that, we used an old but revolutionary design: A boat propeller, except it MOVES, unlike most boat propellers which stay still.

00:55 <GreeningGalaxy> Each propeller is 20 megawatts in size."

00:57 <GreeningGalaxy> now they're showing bikes with no rider running on their own and staying up because of the way the front wheel self-stabilizes, and saying that's due to gyroscopic forces.

00:58 <GreeningGalaxy> apparently the big boat needs gyroscopes to stay level?

00:59 <GreeningGalaxy> "The [big boat] takes the magic of the gyroscope into the 21st century"

01:00 <GreeningGalaxy> oh, apparently it's only a gyro sensor that controls automated control surfaces

01:01 <GreeningGalaxy> christ on a stovetop, this is an absurd show

01:32 <UmbralRaptor> At least it's not history channel bad.

01:33 <UmbralRaptor> Uh, if you want a good old science show, I suggest Connections. The one from the late 70s(!)

04:37 <Tank2333> so i just read that Mr.Trump ordered airstrike against syrian airfield? or is that fake news?

05:01 <UmbralRaptor> That actually happened. As best I'm aware, 50 Tomahawk missiles.

05:04 <UmbralRaptor> (Number may be subject to change as we learn more, but that's what was being thrown around)

05:07 <Tank2333> hm

05:07 <Tank2333> i better go and buy some canned food

13:15 <TheKosmonaut> Iskierka: they somehow hit a town 4km off target from the airfield.

13:15 <TheKosmonaut> How? I don’t know.

13:15 <TheKosmonaut> 9 casualties apparently.. Citizens.

13:15 <TheKosmonaut> Good show!

16:10 <Iskierka> I like that animated raptor portraits is still the second most popular stellaris mod

16:10 <NomalRaptor> ???

19:51 <UmbralRaptor> "One interesting labor market fact is that it’s much more common for a person who’s not in the labor force to get a job than it is for an unemployed person to get a job."
