so a woman I used to work with just walked in and I was not paying attention and maintaining eye contact with her so after like 30 seconds of pleasant conversation she forcefully l looked down and shook her pregnant stomach to call attention to it.

Aren't you not supposed to shake a baby?

>>121175038
Maxmaps adds nothing

>>121176551
You are not supposed to shake a baby once it's outside. I think the liquid inside the womb protects it from damage.

TL:DR;
>first week of testing has gone smoothly
>1.1 devs have switched to working on 1.0.5 to round out the bug fixing
some bugs:
>hit build 1000 which broke the store
>underwater fog persisted on map view
>Whack-A-Kerbal dialog stuck on Space Center
>Ted picked up the games most recent award
>Porkjet has been doing lots of polishing
>added an internal turbine to jet engines, see gif
http://i.imgur.com/JXBbVK6.gif
>parts work just the same, just have an extra bit of model (which explains the offset CoM they all have)
>Roverdude has added the small radial ore tank and smaller drill teased last week
>they have drawbacks to being used, just like the small ISRU
>Arsonide has worked on career compatibility for older save
>Also introduced a new part test contract where you just have to fly the part somewhere, not actually test it
>Our lord and savior NathanKell has fixed more bugs
>Some UI shit
>Decouplers (or any staging part) can now be toggled to not actually stage
>Parachutes don't flutter identically
>Both genders of Kerbals now ragdoll the same
>Also the underwater fog
http://i.imgur.com/ST23LPS.png
>Also smoothed out problems with the new Core Heat stuff

>Harvester added the manuever burn timer/dV gauge to the 1.1 UI

Reminder that running an awards show based on merit in the video game industry is literally an exercise in futility

reminder that depression quest is an award winning game

>>121181112
Reminder that KSPs accomplishments are on par with Ahmed the Clockboy.

>>121180987
sooooo we just gonna glaze over the fact that the engine and fuel now occupy the same space? Is it "so kerbal"?

>>121180987
First: thanks for the tl;dr.

Second: I see a problem with those jet engines. If I use a very small cylinder and put the engines behind it, will it stick out at the front?

>>121181220
Reminder that you could publish scientific papers or become a doctor or something, yet you will for ever be less lauded than Maxmaps, clockboy or that person who made Depression Quest.

>>121181259
The argument is that they always did, but the jets were simply never modelled correctly. A jet engine is far more than just the nozzle.
>>121181346
It seems like it would, someone on the forums already mentioned VTOLs.

>>121181259
Make the part your engine connects to into a structural fuselage bit. Or go full autist and make custom parts that wrap fuel tanks around the engines.

He will fade into obscurity as soon as he's done raping KSP for all of its views.

>>121182232
In the rapidly growing, expanding, connecting world of the 21st century, morals become skewed, perspectives change opinions, and as we depart from our simple mindsets, we often find ourselves overcome by the understanding that our actions, beliefs, words and plans will have countless unforeseen consequences in the ether of the future.

Within this context we have become the literal gods of a previous world — we have powers and abilities and understanding of deep context that give us unbridled license to make, shift, mashup, create and innovate within this context. Those who grasp that strength create wholly new, dynamic, justified experiences that exemplify not only the pinnacle of human creation, but a deep caring for the general direction of the world.

And then there’s Maxmaps. It’s so rare that within this hypercomplex world, we could be awarded with such a pristine distillation of the base human emotions that disrupt our inner human desire for excellence, yet here we are, looking at him, as if he were an item of evidence in a massive class-action fraud lawsuit.

Borne out of the armpit of the world, left to rot in dingy Mexican streets and in front of a video game console, one Mexican boy emerged from the pit of hepatitis and broken dreams partially cohosting a World of Warcraft radio show where he served as the quintessential illiterate Mexican comic relief that contrasted against the real hosts and made their conversation seem meaningful.

From this festering pit of incompetence and mediocrity came someone who unabashedly believed fascism was the only way to effectively control a populace and believed that he had within him the passion and intelligence to become the next Notch.

After a few years of obscurity “working in pharma” in Mexico, Max found himself at Squad, insulting their most recent project, a promotion of the new “Leaf” car while being onboarded for his new role: managing the community of Kerbal Space Program.

(1/3)

>>121182532
Shut the fuck up.

>>121182532
It was around this time that resourcegate occurred, signifying KSP’s ultimate shift into a dev cycle measured in years rather than weeks, and the .23 roadmap was thrown out to accommodate a one-off deal with NASA that had lasting implications on releases up to and past .25.

Also during Max’s beginning with KSP, we saw the focus move away from Sandbox and to a “career” mode, even though the game was still very much in Alpha and starting career so early only served to petrify the development in the same state of half-bakededness we still have the pleasure of experiencing to this day.

Just as Max entered the frame, many of the original American and international devs left, and they were replaced by Mexicans, as if this were logical. Since Max’s introduction to the Kerbal Space Program team, we have seen numerous meaningless PR deals that have served as one-off announcements designed to distract the fanbase from asking meaningful questions about the development of KSP. Likewise, we have also seen a rise in the harmful moderation that has led to the self-censoring community of KSP fans today who have been trained to simply drop all expectations from Squad, “because they’re an indie dev.”

Keep in mind that the delaying of development in line with developing career has mirrored another disturbing trend: putting less than 5% of all “profits” from early access back into development. This has been status quo for years, and has allowed Squad to maintain a fraud and scam, promising a game in development, while keeping the majority of the profits in an offshore bank account, while scrubbing profits from the online repositories designed to keep Steam companies honest.

“You give me too much credit,” Maxmaps will likely magically pop up and say — but no, to get that from this is a fundamental misreading. The point of asking these questions and making these connections is not to prove that MAXMAPS ADDS NOTHING —

(2/3)

>>121182496
Li? Is it you?

>>121182692
Okay Max

>>121182805
One of, not the.

the truth of it is that Maxmaps has inherently and irreperably damaged the development of KSP, leading up to the sad truth of the matter: “Maxmaps killed KSP”

Maxmaps adds nothing is a constant reminder to the wider community to ask what is _really_ happening whenever Max announces a new secret feature or new meetings in progress — he is taking up valuable resources developing in-game “purchase” buttons for 3D models and brokering wider chasms between KSPedu and stock KSP. He is inserting pain points and creating dividers, and for this, we must all ask for our refunds, or we must take them, by whatever means necessary.

Before I close out my blog, let me quickly note some of the deals Max has brokered for KSP: NASAupdate, Soccer balls, Plushies, Gamer’s edition, Wii, Xbone, PS4 (Flying Tiger), printable ships, Curse, 1.0, and many others. Please feel free to add any that come to mind.

What can you do to fight the base human wrongness and perversion that is Maxmaps? Well, there are many ways to join the fight, but might I recommend BURNING SQUADCAST?

>>121182808
Max doesn't post here you idiot.

>>121183124
Okay Max

>>121183124
Last time we thought he was gone he replied at some random shitpost and left when we asked about the game.

>>121183289
The solution is that all max posters are fakers until Max either trips (with the proper trip) or tweet verifies.

Even then, he is most certainly not welcome here, and he knows this.

>>121182506
For their next trick, will they texture the inside faces of every model?

Reminder that they took something perfect, something beautiful, something you invested your hard-earned money in, and they turned it into a loudspeaker for gender issues, glorifying failure over success, and stopped developing the only fun part of the game, all while calling you entitled, banning you from the forums you helped fund, and inviting hundreds of kids and coercing them to all yell as loud as they can in unison.

Reminder that you have fallen for a Mexican scam

Reminder that we have exhausted our supplies of sadness, and now we must burn our hatred as fuel to reach our destination.

The only "destination" we can still reach is the reacquisition of our seed funding, either in monetary form,or blood.

Sigma Mini Wide 28mm lens on literally anything that can take a PK mount, so essentially almost every SLR/Mirrorless camera in existence. Literally just took the one on my desk, and can focus on things less than 10 cm away without any trouble.

What I'm saying is MFD and MM aren't the same thing. Thing with pets is, you need to get close and still be able to see wide. Real cameras however, have bigger sensor and it's impossible to do both at the same time. Phone is just a hell of a lot easier.

To be clear, I'm talking about the difference between >>121203726 and >>121204376. Closest you can get with an SLR is about 20cm because they have big sensors. In order to be "close" they go farther with less angle of view. See this pic, the lens I took this photo with can't focus closer than 1.5 meters and yet it looks close. In order to get close and still have wide angle of view, you need to have less focal length. You're now looking at expensive fisheye lenses which will scare off the birds or smartphones.

>>121205901
You have the lens, it says how close you can get. Either your lens is broken or you have some other equipment.
Also that lens is sexy as fuck, cheap, fast and 28mm. I might even buy it. Thanks.

[title card: OPERATION CROSSROADS]

[Cameras mounted on moving ships record an esquisite arrangement of a varying number of ships to the tune of a flambouyant soundtrack]

Narrator: Eleven months after the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Operation Crossroads was conducted at Bikini Atoll, twenty-five hundred miles west of Hawaii. The purpose of Crossroads was to test the effects of atomic weapons using two devices--similar in design to Trinity and Nagasaki--codenamed Able and Baker. Shot Able was to be dropped from a B-29, while Shot Baker would be detonated 90 feet below the surface of the water.

[The camera shows the view from a plane of a large arrangement of ships on the ocean]

Narrator: The target armada consisted of 185 Japanese, German, and American ships, ranging to small amphibious craft, to battleships, and aircraft carriers.

[Cut to a man in a suit]

Man: The bomb will not start a chain reaction in the water, converting it all to gas, and letting all the ships on all the oceans drop down to the bottom. It will not blow out the bottom of the sea and let all the water go down the hole. It will not destroy gravity. I am not an atomic playboy. As one of my critics labeled me, exploding these bombs to satisfy my personal whim.

[Cut to men on a ship loading cages and crates full of small animals on various platforms to the sound of ominous music]

Narrator: Animals, plant life, even biological warfare agents were assembled to study the effects of heat, blast, and radiation.

[The men are now shown forcefully handling sheep, shaving parts of them, then shoving them in metal restraints]

[Cut to a shot of several B-29s assembled at an airfield and a man removing blocks from the nose wheel of one of them. The music changes tone and becomes dramatic]

[The camera shows the bomb bay doors close and shows the pilot giving a thumbs up to the ground crew. The pilot observes as he starts up one of his engines.]

[Cut to a shot of the B-29 taking off from a runway, with other planes and buildings visible in the background.]

[The plane is shown in flight, with the target armada under it, unaware of what's about to fucking destroy it]

[It shows the pilot in the cockpit--a particularly handsome man with a neutral expression--and the plane's bomb bay doors opening]

[The crew are kept on camera, calm and on task, operating various instruments in preparation for the drop]

[The bomb is dropped and the bomb bay doors are closed as the plane flies away]

[The bomb is shown dropping to the water, then detonating, creating a massive fireball and condensation cloud surrounding it]

[The fireball rises, and below it puffs of smoke rise from the ships as they are demolished]

[The camera cuts to the shockwave approaching one of the ships and hitting the animals in their cages]

[The camera then goes to a long distance view of the fireball appearing, then the shockwave spreading out and creating massive clouds]

[Cut to a later shot of the resulting cloud from the viewpoint of a small vessel]

Narrator: The bomb missed its intended target by nearly 800 yards. The blast sent 5 ships--including 2 destroyers--to the bottom of Bikini lagoon. All ships within half a mile of the blast were heavily damaged. But damage was nowhere near by that created by the following, underwater blast known as Shot Baker.

21:47 Liftoff confirmed, standing by for status
The Super Strypi launch vehicle has lifted off from the U.S. Navy's Pacific Missile Range Facility in Hawaii on an experimental test flight of a new military lightweight satellite booster. The first moments of the flight appeared to go well, but an animation of the launch vehicle derived from telemetry appeared to show it tumbling shortly after liftoff.

We are standing by for an update on the status of the launch from mission managers.

Our video feet (feed) provided by the University of Hawaii, a partner on today's launch, has gone silent. We are standing by for an official update.

Why do I love ULA so much? It's pretty simple when I think about it. ULA isn't just the best launch provider in the country; they might just be the greatest launch provider of all time. Just imaging the Altas V riding through the skies of Earth, the wind on its fairing, the mighty RD-180 below it. As she rides through the red sky, NASA swoons at her very scent. They know how she smells; the essence of burning RP-1 smell is sold in Orlando under the name of "Space Orgasm." The very nature of ULA is mystery. Could they be playing a deeper game than even Tory Bruno realizes? The answer is yes, ULA has transcended such boundaries as the physical world, and has free will to do whatever they sees fit. However, ULA is filled with such guile, such arcane craft that they does not even use these powers. Why, you might ask? You will never know, for the mind of the ULA is not one that is easily penetrated. ULA rockets are such a force of nature in this realm that nothing can truly touch them, the only thing keeping them bound to this world at all is their will to exist within the preordained boundaries understood physics. ULA is not only beyond the comprehension of us, it exists within a plane of true focus and beauty. Observe the plume of exhaust gasses from this Delta IV, the gorgeous and rippling flames, the gallant fairing, and most importantly, its engines. Her engines, like cauldrons straight from hell, provide the only glimpse into the true machinations of ULA. Do not stare into them. Many good men have gone mad in the attempt. ULA is not just a launch provider, a formless collection of engineers and rockets; they are themselves the binding that holds the word together. Without ULA, Musk the Menace takes over and the entire space industry as we know it crumbles. The Mississippi would stop flowing without ULA, Kessler syndrome would take over in orbit, and the space station would fall without their fiery gaze. These are just of a few of the reasons why I like ULA so much.

At this point if ULA fails, it's a sign we need to stay the fuck out of space

Anon, you clearly need to shoop max in there. Come on man, step it up.

I was raised liberal and identify as liberal, but I believe that fundamentally, the right way forward is to BUILD WALL

Literally a single rivet failure caused it to fail

source?

>>121224551
Do you not see it? The rivet comes loose probably due at least partially to centrifugal force, causing the metal to warp

Did they not test the rocket before this evening?

>>121224932
But how do you know that it's a rivet???

>>121225147
fine, we'll wait for the report

also this is a neat gif but it's a little over the size limit so have a link http://i.imgur.com/UqqVCsK.gif

I'm going to sleep, goodnight /kspg/
and I'm saging you

What are you gonna do now?

I bet Scott Manley is making a video about that rocket launch RIGHT NOW.

>>121226367
Nothing until symptoms set in, then? Be there for him however I can, which will probably not be much. In a way it makes sense, I can now see that my mom has been preparing for it for years.

I saw this image and the first thing that came to mind was KSP for some reason.

0.(9) = 1

Prove me wrong.

>>121229403
by definition all terms on the right of the decimal point are smaller than the terms on the left

haven't touched this in a while, is the v1.0.4.861 on pb the most recent version?

>>121230009
1.0.4 is the current version, yes.

>>121230084
thanks

>>121230115
no problem

>>121227813

Not really wrong. .999... does equal 1. I think the reason this confuses most people is because they try to end that decimal at an arbitrarily point. The thing is the series of 9s never end, which makes it equal to 1. If you cant grasp that concept, then there are mathematical proofs that tell you that it equals 1, and you have to except them because the logic is sound.

>>121232664
>muh proofs
and all of them are equally shaky

the problem is that infinity doesn't exist in reality, an infinite sequence is just one without end, the difference will approach zero more closely but there is no such thing as reaching zero just as there is no such thing as reaching infinity

>>121230009
>>121230084
it is actually more like 0.26.
1.0.4 is a lie. from max.

Yep, infinity is an abstraction, but so are all mathematical constructions. It is just easier for us to think about things as real numbers. I wouldn't say the proofs are shaky, though. If you say the proofs don't work then you are basically axioms of mathematics don't work. The easiest proof is this:

.999... = x
10*.999... = 10*x
9.999... = 10x
9.999... - .999... = 10x - .999
9 = 10x - x
9 = 9x
1 = x

We are adding anything extra, just using the rules set by algebra. If you think this proof is wrong, then you must prove what axiom in algebra is wrong.

>>121233502
>9.999... - .999... = 10x - .999

That is supposed to be 9.999... - .999... = 10x - .999...

the process of change in the present
the future exists only as potential, and the past only as those things that have not yet changed

>x = 0.999
>9.999 - 0.999 = 10x - 0.999
>9 = 10x - x
so is 10x - x equal to 9.999 or 9?

>>121233502
>>121234598
no, sorry, misread that

9.999 - 0.999 is of course 9 hurp

the real line that fucks up is
>9 = 9x
you just said
>0.999 * 9 = 9
which is the same as saying 0.999 * 10 = 10

so you basically just declared that 0.999 is equal to one, that "proof" would work for any decimal

>>121234810
Nigger, I had that explanation on one of my very first algebra classes. If it doesn't make sense to you, it's you that's the problem.

>>121235013
well 9 times 9 is 81, so 9 times 0.9 is 8.1 and 0.999 times 9 is 8.1 + 0.81 + 0.081 which is 8.991

if you extend that to infinity you get 8.999 recurring, not 9

>>121235332
Okay, then;

x = 8.999 - 8

The point is not the number to the left of the point, but the ones on the right. I thought that was clear. I thought the point of all this is that a recurring .9999 does in fact not exist.
Are we even on the same page now?

1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9=45
