raptop changed the topic of #principia to: READ THE FAQ: http://goo.gl/gMZF9H; The current version is Fréchet. We currently target 1.5.1, 1.6.1, and 1.7.x. <scott_manley> anyone that doubts the wisdom of retrograde bop needs to get the hell out | https://xkcd.com/323/ | <egg> calculating the influence of lamont on Pluto is a bit silly… | <egg> also 4e16 m * 2^-52 is uncomfortably large

egg. — @sarbian your process for adding support to a new version of KSP is very smooth :D https://forum.kerbalspaceprogram.com/index.php?/topic/106369-19x-modularflightintegrator-127-19-october-2019/page/6/&tab=comments#comment-3767372

sarbian. — I have the power!
<discord->
egg. — here we need a new version of Principia because we have hard checks for that :-p
<discord->
egg. — (otoh our lunatic release schedule means new versions are frequent anyway)
<discord->
sarbian. — How is life in CH ?
<discord->
egg. — I am in FR!
<discord->
sarbian. — Poor you
<discord->
egg. — I went to Normandy at the beginning of march to be with the cat
<discord->
Standecco. — does he live by himself?
<discord->
Standecco. — (she/herself)
<discord->
egg. — yeah, when I’m not here
<discord->
Standecco. — how does he get food? The good ol' way?
<discord->
egg. — there is a food dispenser
<discord->
egg. — I am baking some bread
<discord->
egg. — also I am considering reviving my grandfather’s vegetable garden and planting some potatoes, since I’ll be there to take care of them for a bit :-p
<discord->
sarbian. — Well at least you have a garden and a cat. I have been stuck in the appartement for more than 4 weeks now
<discord->
egg. — yeah, it was a serendipitously good place to be in at that time
<discord->
sarbian. — (Work had me stay home 1 week before the gov)
<discord->
egg. — esp. since that’s more space for my parents who are stuck in the flat in Zürich
<discord->
egg. — yeah same here, recommended then mandatory WFH before it was cool
<discord->
egg. — (CH took longer to take similar measures, because it is CH)
<discord->
egg. — for a while you had press conferences where they were wondering whether it was a *situation particulière* or a *situation extraordinaire*
<discord->
egg. — downside of being stuck here (and not knowing how to drive) is that groceries can be logistically tricky, since carrefour delivery is now next-week rather than next-day
<discord->
egg. — (I should learn how to drive someday)
<discord->
sarbian. — You should.it has its uses
<discord->
egg. — (nearest supermarket is 5 km away, and bus service which is not usually great is now reduced to 4 per day :-p)
<discord->
Standecco. — damn, 5 km away
<discord->
Standecco. — and I thought I lived far from civilization
<discord->
Standecco. — (context: every other person I know has some sort of grocery store in a <2 km radius)
<discord->
Standecco. — usually close enough to go by foot

Butcher. — I drive, but that's mainly because the car is good at carrying things.
<discord->
egg. — @Standecco more weirdly, the nearest bakery is that far too
<discord->
Butcher. — Also, bread baking is good, I've been trying but supplies are hard to get.
<discord->
egg. — (the town I’m in has no bakery, but the next one over has 4)
<discord->
egg. — well, "in"
<discord->
egg. — "next to"
<discord->
egg. — also, "town"
<discord->
Butcher. — 5 buildings?
<discord->
egg. — nah, 7-8 hundred inhabitants
<discord->
Butcher. — That's still quite small.
<discord->
egg. — yeah and it includes multiple bits: the village itself, the less-dense houses around where I am, the houses up the cliff...
<discord->
Butcher. — I live in the suburbs, the "village" if you can call it that here is 9,000 people.
<discord->
egg. — I managed to teach the cat how to use its catflap, but only to get in, so it still meows to get out
<discord->
egg. — cat diode
<discord->
Butcher. — Heh.
<discord->
Butcher. — Cats are like that.

Sir Mortimer. — @Standecco *some sort of* pretty much matches the description. It's a butcher that happens to sell milk, some bread, chips and detergents. That sort of shop. You don't get toilet paper there. But without a car you're absolutely grounded here. The busses are a joke, it would be a 30min ride one way to go shopping for groceries.
<discord->
Sir Mortimer. — but egg's situation seems to be more... pittoresque 😉
<discord->
Standecco. — > You don't get toilet paper there
<discord->
Standecco. — so it's like any city in the US nowadays
<discord->
Sir Mortimer. — no, we have helath care and I don't have to be afraid that the lunatic next door has a gun hidden in his belt 🙂
<discord->
Standecco. — congrats, that looks a lot like something you'd find in a bakery
<discord->
Standecco. — my culinary excursions are often... lacking, let's say
<discord->
sarbian. — Microwave is how I cook
<discord->
Sir Mortimer. — that's not cooking.
<discord->
Sir Mortimer. — the absolute minimum requirement for cooking is a pan or a kettle, mixing at least 2 ingredients from distinct packages, and heating it up.
<discord->
Sir Mortimer. — so, pasta with canned sauce is cooking. instant noodles is not.
<discord->
sarbian. — I use one ingredient, apply heat and eat. That s cooking enough for me
<discord->
sarbian. — If I add pepper do I qualify ?
<discord->
Sir Mortimer. — I would tend to agree 🙂
<discord->
Sir Mortimer. — preposterous! cooking literally is the process of bringing something to a boiling point, which usually involves heat (edited)

W2. — that's a nice contract
<discord->
Standecco. — @neph is going to have a lot of fun
<discord->
Standecco. — assuming that he's focusing on creating more general purpose contracts with actual requirements instead of arbitrary orbital elements, rather than faithfully recreating every launch that has happened
<discord->
Butcher. — No guarantees there @Standecco
