daily UTC chat log for Anywherebb (Postline 6.1.30)
04:29, Ouch> we've got fun and games.
05:15, Cryoburner whispers: Well, Ouch does anyway. I just brought flying squirrels.
16:42, Fth> http://images.google.ch/images?hl=de&q=steampunk&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi coolest google image search ever
17:22, Duskesko> Agreed.
18:35, Duskesko> If you encountered an alien life form with no vocal abilities that offered to sing you the song of its people, would you be surprised?
18:44, Fth> I'd be surprised that I understand what it's offering me, yup
22:47, Cryoburner> Unternehmensangebote!
00:13, Duskesko> timote
00:14, Duskesko> TIMOTE
00:15, Duskesko> i think i just discovered something... i think frespych prevents double posts
00:15, Tom> wut?
00:16, Duskesko> wut?
00:16, Duskesko> try saying the exact same thing twice
00:17, Tom> I just finished watching the first episode of Toshokan Sensou.
00:18, Tom> You're right...who would have thunk it?
00:18, Duskesko> Alex, obviously.
00:19, Tom> indeed.
04:03, Deanfrz> no one's here so this wont be embarrassing
04:04, Deanfrz> oh no! its staying up there!!!
04:07, Tom> what? If you post the same thing twice it only posts once.
04:27, Deanfrz> or three times if you like
04:39, Deanfrz> I always get weirded out when I talk to Tom
04:40, Deanfrz> It's like I'm talking to a bizzare doppleganger. Hopefully I dont look anything like him.
04:43, Chad> Neato: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTYiEkQYhWY
06:33, Duskesko> Interesting idea. Not really realistic though. I don't care how tight that material is, it's going to go nuts on the road and cause drag.
09:18, Fth> It would behave just like metal if it's tight enough, so I don't really see your point... it looks cool :P
10:12, Raptorjedi> Man, it would be cool to see the fabric slightly ripple while it's driving down the road. Like water in a pond. If they could achieve that, it would be epic.
11:02, Cryoburner> Timotei!
11:09, Cryoburner whispers: Nice car, but you totally can't armor-plate that thing.
12:58, Duskesko> It would take insane amounts of tension to get that material tight enough to keep it from rippling. The ripple would be fast and cause lots of drag.
12:58, Duskesko> Timotei!
14:14, Fth> Insane amount? How fast are you trying on driving, exactly? Plus, I'd wager the smaller weight offsets the added resistance in the fuel guzzling department
14:17, Duskesko> Study some fluid dynamics and get back to me.
14:23, Cryoburner> What if the material were given a thin solid backing to reinforce the large areas that don't bend?
14:25, Cryoburner> I think that if it were to be smooth enough, it shouldn't experience much drag.
14:25, Cryoburner> At least, not at racing speeds. :)
14:27, Cryoburner whispers: And it would be totally worth it to have headlights that can wink.
15:08, Duskesko> tru dat
15:08, Cryoburner whispers: Timotei, Timotei...
15:08, Duskesko> TIMMOOOTEEIIII!
15:09, Cryoburner> :P
17:13, Cryoburner whispers: No one is posting anything. Why are they not posting things?
18:36, Megagun whispers: Because we can
19:30, Scood> how come i havnt seen that much progress on the noctis project since i left and came back?
19:36, Cryoburner whispers: It was because you left. No progress could be made without you.
21:47, Chad> Spore Demo!
