[00:04:16] i'm starting to hate steam... "this update scheduled for: in 10 hours" [00:05:36] yeah, I don't get it why it does that, either. Always have to click the "download now" button [00:07:01] i get it that they want to untangle some large bandwidth hits from big updates. but this always seems excessive [00:07:19] hmm. so, the weirdness happens if there's only ModuleManager 3.1.1 in GameData next to Squad*. [00:07:34] I had hoped some unimportant mod would have been the cause [00:07:37] it misses a function like "if update<100MB, max delay=1h" [00:28:05] They could use bittorrent. [00:30:50] They already use a CDN for steam. using bittorrent doesn't make sense, especially when you deploy incremental patches. [00:54:24] i don't see how bittorrent would work there. you would need to ask people to open their ports and give away their bandwidth [01:01:24] Sons and daughters of Kerbin: Have you ever wondered if the Doom Marine and B. J. Blazkowicz are the same person? [01:01:47] i can, with all honesty, say "no" [01:02:12] as i have never ever wondered anything at all about these two persons [01:03:21] I think the latter was kept in suspended animation for use against future threats to humanity. [01:08:04] Action: Scolar_Visari ponders if the writing on the Doom Marine's sarcophagus simply said: Break in case of daemonic incursion. [01:08:34] Nope... it just says "plz no" [01:11:25] Action: UmbralRaptop thought it was canonical that the Doom 1/2 marine was Keen's son or grandson, and Keen was B J Blaskowicz's grandson. [01:11:53] UmbralRaptop: Canon, shmanon. [01:12:39] I imagine Doom canon between titles is right up there with Duke Nukem canon. [01:14:01] Confusingly, there's supposed to be continuity between 1, 2, 3D, and 4ever [01:15:03] i've never wondered anything about that either [01:16:12] UmbralRaptop: The only way I could see that even being possible is if they all took place in parallel universes [01:16:24] Like, DN3D starts about 5 minutes after the end of 2. O_o [01:17:05] I mean, in what universe can a person walk and kick people with both their legs at the same time? [01:20:06] Action: Scolar_Visari ponders if the developers of 4ever actually stopped to think if the world really needed another Duke Nukem to begin with. [01:21:34] they just wanted to end the joke [01:22:11] Ironic. They became the joke. [01:33:22] #KSPOfficial: mode change '+o BPlayer' by ChanServ!ChanServ@services.esper.net [01:49:15] Hello, I am considering downloading Principia. Anyone here to recommend it or tell bad experience?

[10:32:11] the bottleboat still works [11:00:00] \o/ [11:00:20] well, I was at my parents yesterday. There are still some boats for you waiting there ;) [11:00:52] I know, idk when I will be able to come tho [11:01:24] or when I'm going to make a roadtrip [11:01:30] would be easier if I'd speak French ;P [11:02:19] peoples in france are supposed to know english [11:02:19] well, I have a Model 3 reserved. With an electric car this would be cheap to do, too. But I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to afford it... [11:02:55] yeah, they probably understand me fine, but will never admit it or even answer! [11:02:56] ;) [11:04:47] I wonder when teslabjörn will get his hands on a Model 3 and test how well you can camp in it ;) [11:04:50] I've now booked accomodation for two nights in shanghai, two in nanjing, train tickets going shanghai -> hangzhou -> nanjing and nanjing -> suzhou -> shanghai, as well as the international train from shanghai to hong kong, another night in hong kong, and the latest possible flight that would take me back to tokyo literally on the morning school starts [11:05:07] this is by an order of magnitude the most complicated plan I ever came up with in my life [11:05:30] and I have second thoughts about driving to France... [11:07:33] you could complicate it more by adding an excursion to the moon [11:08:11] Althego, no, the moon is where it clearly states that the chinese visa regulations actually allow this [11:09:19] I sent an inquiry to the shanghai immigration office, and they eventually said yes, but because their web form is so bad I now have only an answer with no question [11:09:35] lol [11:09:55] i dont understand the visa sentence [11:10:14] well, the thing is, I don't have a visa [11:10:45] I'm abusing the chinese transit regulations in the way they seem to be intended to be abused [11:42:06] hehe [12:07:21] hehe apparently you can take off the helmet on laythe [12:09:12] once?.. [12:12:34] no, the kerbal survives [12:13:05] but there was some science text (long ago) that said it feels like home but it wouldnt be safe to take off your helmet [12:15:12] damn, i forgot that over jool sunlight is weaker [12:16:09] dont try ion drives at jool [12:17:03] btw base game engine stats are not changed, old engines on crafts still work, although i had to buy the new versin again (i cheated the money back) [12:17:37] the delta v calculator is a bit annoying that it does not default to vacuum [12:42:46] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVtg6uG7t54 [12:42:46] YouTube - KSP 1.6 IS OUT ... and ... They FIXED it ??!? [12:42:57] BIGGG fix yeah [12:42:57] ShadowZone did a video about it [12:43:40] but the wheels have no hitbox anymore [12:43:46] Nexter already complained :D [12:43:55] Because that's a reliable way to call the Kraken [12:44:24] lol [12:44:42] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/186186471202357249/525654801799708692/DSC_0283.JPG [13:12:30] heh even more delays https://twitter.com/blueorigin/status/1075555843016400896 [13:12:30] <blueorigin> Through fixing the ground infrastructure issue, we have determined additional systems need to be addressed. We have& https://t.co/AxBVYYAJZh [13:12:57] havent checked them sooner because they initially shifted the launch on friday [14:05:25] i seem to remember walking through wheels in 1.5 already [14:06:14] and there is video about that [14:06:38] (replying to the link above) [14:07:12] just saying, i don't think it's a 1.6 change [14:14:00] and now waiting for the mods [14:14:09] USI first [14:16:31] http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Mars_Express/Mars_Express_gets_festive_A_winter_wonderland_on_Mars [14:16:33] nice [17:15:54] do you want to build a snowman (on mars)? [17:18:43] Fluburtur: oi [17:18:54] see the war thunder winter event? [17:19:13] yeagh [17:35:53] one thing that is missing from the stock delta v meter is the sum up to a stage [17:39:00] i dont even get how they missed this [17:39:10] that is the value that you are always the most interested in [17:39:15] not the value of a single stage [17:39:48] ok, there is a single sum [17:39:59] but that is not relevant in many cases [17:40:39] say i want to optimize the first 2 stages to just leave atmosphere [17:40:48] ok i can add the numbers, but what if it is 3? [17:40:57] starts to get annoying [17:41:14] or soem stages for landing, some stages for ascend on tylo [17:41:34] and you dont want to discard the stages with the legs before landing, so you have to have an amount in the first n stages [17:44:52] picky picky [17:46:18] but ker could do this since forever [17:48:00] they just tried to act like they were doing something [17:48:15] but that is re-skins and adding mods again, no new stuff [17:48:34] yes lack of innovation [17:48:57] one huge holiday gift would be a new planet (saturn style) for example [17:49:14] basically no programming required, just artwork [17:49:41] I want propellers [17:49:54] that too [17:49:54] and perhaps nuclear reactors or new rtg [17:49:57] electric props [17:50:01] for eve and duna [17:50:05] yes [17:50:13] because who want to rove around any planet? [17:50:16] it is slow and dangerous [17:50:31] a plane is dangerous twice, takeoff and landing [17:50:33] rover is contantly [17:50:41] flying a nuclear reactor around a planet is nicer [17:50:45] and an order of magniture or more slowwer [17:55:05] well, im not sure TT wants to put any effort into the game anyways [17:55:24] only thing they done since the got it was make a DLC that made everyone angry [17:55:37] hehe [17:55:43] it didnt make me angry [17:55:48] but it is not really useful either [17:56:01] at least it has the other launch sites [17:56:13] kerbinside does that [17:56:23] but I wanted more colors for the parts [17:56:32] you have colors now [17:56:37] shut up and fly [17:56:38] yeah like 3 [17:56:43] I wanted the green tones [17:56:50] yes orange is overrated [17:56:52] i hate orange [17:57:04] blue and green would be nicer [17:57:13] now there is white, white/black and orange [17:57:52] also it contradicts the game itself because the reason the game doesnt have prcedural planets is because the devs wanted peoples to share stuff [17:58:20] but you cant do that as easily because of this idiotic dlc that has no purpose other than making TT more money [17:58:25] anyways, time to eat [17:58:52] spacex launches tentatively tomorrow [17:59:11] ula gave up for the time being [17:59:28] blue origin is pushed to next year [18:19:42] Fishing Planet's got an underwater biome scanner now. I wish there was a way to combine Unity game universes :) [18:23:27] hehe [19:24:39] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgkuXtQ5f9I [19:24:39] YouTube - The First Image of Tabby Star's Structure Featuring Dr. David Kipping [19:31:37] Sons and daughters of Kerbin: Problems that cannot be solved with the liberal application of struts and solid rocket boosters are simply problems not worth solving to begin with. [19:31:46] lol [19:32:02] global warming, not important [19:32:11] Ahem, I *can* solve that with struts and SRBs. [19:32:21] Action: Scolar_Visari launches Solar shade on a Kerbalized heavy lift vehicle. [19:32:21] how? [19:32:30] fusion power? [19:32:35] quantum gravity? [19:32:45] (other problems) [19:33:10] Action: Scolar_Visari launches mission to encompass the Sun in Solar Collectors, effectively harnessing fusion energy. [19:33:27] And what are those Solar energy arrays held together with? STRUTS, of course. [19:33:56] Quantum gravity? More like tiny little Planck struts bending space-time, with tiny little SRBs acting as carrier particles of gravitation. [19:34:32] Action: Scolar_Visari eagerly awaits to publish these findings in viXar [19:37:27] Strings are just vibrating struts [19:37:50] EXACTLY! [19:38:01] lol [19:59:16] Tanks ready for their baths http://www.tanks-encyclopedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/valentine-dd-tanks.jpg [20:00:44] oil bath as c3po? [20:02:26] Oh no, a bath in the ocean. [20:03:59] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AL4h_kbMlQ [20:03:59] YouTube - Amphibious Valentine DD Tank [20:18:40] love tank? [20:28:39] Infantry tank often used as a cruiser tank, because reasons. [20:35:50] Not to be confused with tanks that have infantry riding on top. [20:39:45] https://66.media.tumblr.com/b6ae3eb7852f0f18daf749335a77e9a4/tumblr_phf7606c9M1v1tlts_540.jpg [20:39:54] lol [20:40:11] is that a bench? [20:41:12] it is torture [20:50:08] 4d Chess isn't really a thing, but we do have linear chess! [21:02:55] how about 4d cheese? [21:04:01] Mankind was not meant to taste such delights. [21:04:13] Flavors include: Minkowski, de Sitter,& [21:04:17] lol [21:05:06] but maybe if 4d is too much we can still have fractal cheese [21:06:01] menger cheese :) [21:06:03] full of holes [21:06:11] sierpinsky cheese? [21:06:56] menger sponge is a 3d version of the sierpinski carpet [21:07:54] is that the cube one? [21:07:58] yes [21:08:10] ideal candidate for a cheese [21:09:27] well, if you base it on swiss cheese, you might want something with round holes [21:12:13] So close now to the T-34/85 [21:12:48] the T34 has round holes in it? [21:13:11] are we talking about tanks or cheese? [21:13:38] the holes are usually round :) [21:14:05] i don't know anymore, today everything is such a blur [21:14:20] but there wasnt even a single launch today [21:14:39] do we care about landings? [21:15:07] the soyuz landing? was that today? [21:15:17] it was in one moprning, but maybe yesterday :) [21:15:28] dunno [21:15:54] https://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2018/12/soyuz-ms-09-land-unprecedented-orbit-repairs/ [21:16:01] 2 days ago [21:16:35] youtube suddenly decided that 80% of my suggestions should be ESA stuff [21:16:48] yes dumb algorithmn [21:16:51] click on something once [21:16:56] then you cant get rid of it for days [21:17:18] i have no idea what it thinks i clicked on [21:22:02] have to stop watching susskinf and go to bed [21:22:08] susskind [21:22:21] Action: darsie flew a Hammer to 51-59 km and 430-560 m/s by melting the aluminium fins and opening the fairing for aerobraking: http://bksys.at/bernhard/temp/screenshot139.png [21:22:29] started with the classical mechanics in double speed [21:22:47] starts with high level concepts but very clear [21:29:35] Classical mechanics is just a refined version of prehistoric mechanics. [21:33:20] Oh, do to recent events, it would not surprise me if there are certain delays of a certain manned space mission in Florida. [21:33:31] Ahem https://www.mynews13.com/fl/orlando/space/2018/12/21/how-government-shutdown-would-impact-space-coast [21:33:40] again? [21:34:14] spacex is always affected by this because some of the crew is not theirs [21:36:34] Er, it's not just the crew. The launch facilities and support personnel are a big deal. [21:37:04] SpaceX relies a lot of NASA in most every launch. [21:37:21] support personnel is crew [21:37:30] and the area is not theirs of course [21:53:23] RAMMING SPEED! https://i.pinimg.com/originals/aa/b0/e3/aab0e3002667e429f4f696c59f65f0d3.jpg [21:53:30] hehe [21:54:05] forget the guns. ramming speed [21:54:50] Seeing as how inconvenient reloading the early T-34s was, I don't blame them. [21:56:43] but nobody had death blossom :) [22:03:33] noticed the face in the driver's window... freak out [22:13:29] za warudo [22:13:53] heh watched another lecture [22:14:04] but really have to sleep [22:17:25] quite a lot of wind here [22:17:49] not so much at ground level but from like 100 meters up clouds are moving very fast [22:17:54] get on the plane? i get in the plane, ess wind in there [22:18:08] (george carlin) [22:18:51] had a lot of bad wind here yesterday.
