Selective Genius

I finally managed to get a somewhat decent-ish picture of my kittens (even though the camera was a potato). They rarely stay still for long enough for me to take a picture, but I have found out that the optimum window to take a photo would be early morning and late afternoons when they have run out of their usual hyperactive energy. 5 kittens. The eldest of them (4 months old) is staring at your soul. She's the bodyguard/playmate/teacher for the rest of the kittens who are a month and a half old. All of them are strong and healthy, thanks to @tater's kindness and generosity.

Like : " I misunderestimated you. I underestimated you because you look weak, but I should have underestimated you because you looked poor." Does that make sense? Idk..

If 'Misunderestimate' were a word, what would it mean?

I think we all agree that a deployable solar panel which produces more EC than the small deployable solar panels and the gigantic ones will be a good addition to the stock game. These circular ones could do the job, producing 6-10 EC/S.

Hello, I wish to remove the MKS mod from my game.But when I remove the MKS folder, the astronaut complex does not list the active kerbonauts, or allow me to hire any other kerbonauts. Is there a method to remove MKS without breaking my save file?

@Errol If an experiment repeated several times yields the same result, then do you not think that it would be wiser to focus on other things? You are a mortal, surely you must have flaws. I believe that you should focus on self-improvement, be it the improvement of the body or the mind. That's just my humble opinion though.

There are several national level examinations held annually in our country for different government posts. One such examination was supposed to be organized on 13th September. Because of the coronavirus, the number of trains running has been drastically lowered, so I decided to buy my train tickets a month before the exams (My exam center was in a different state, 940 km from my home). We were awaiting our examination call letters which are usually dispatched to the candidates 15 days prior to exam date. On 8th, it was announced by the agency conducting the examination that the exam will be postponed to a later date. I then took the sensible decision to cancel my train tickets. Not even 24 hours later, the agency withdrew the postponement notice, and announced that the examinations would proceed as scheduled. And I have no train tickets. Just like that, one of the three opportunities that I have to get a job vanished into thin air. The examination agency basically did a "Its just a prank bro!" and just screwed up my already messed up future. Some higher organism is clearly enjoying my misery, just like we do when we burn ants with magnifying glass..

I was not expecting kindness from an internet stranger. You would be saving several innocent lives with your contribution, I just hope that this does not inconvenience you. As soon as I get a stable source of income, I will pay back this debt, I swear.

I am from India and a 20 kg bag is like 50 USD.While I still have about 2 weeks worth of cat food with me for the 2 adult cats and 3 adolescent kittens (since the 2 week old kittens drink their mother's milk). But by after 2 weeks, it would be time for the little ones to start eating dry food, and I would have none left by then. I mean I am not totally broke, I can still buy them atleast one 20 kg bag of cat food which will last for at least 2 months, but I will have to trim my expenditures a lot.

None I am afraid.

4 kittens (about 2 weeks old); 3 kittens about 3 months old and two adult cats

I did some math and turns out that I can not sustain myself and my cats at the same time. I was laid off due to the pandemic and my cash supply is dwindling down. I would put these cats up for adoption but no one's going to adopt them, since there's a superstition that cats are inauspicious and bring evil to a household. But I will still give it a try. If that does not work out I will have to abandon the cats. It won't be easy but I don't have a choice. If anyone has a better idea, then I would love to listen.

This one hits home hard, in a bad way.

What funny/interesting thing happened in my life today? FOUR Fuzzbutts, that's what happened.

Me: Woman, I want to buy F1 2020. My Woman: No you don't, we have F1 2020 at home. F1 2020 at home:

Meanwhile, in India I mean, yeah I can see why he did that. He wanted to be easily recognizable while wearing a mask. But that does not make it any less hilarious..

Thanks, I will take a look!

Hello, I am a bit tired of KSP at the moment, so I have been thinking of reading some fiction. Do you know about books or shorts stories in which the protagonist (through some means) is transported to a medieval world and uses knowledge that is commonplace in the 21st century to bring about a massive change? Basically, a 21st century human 'uplifting' some medieval peasants. I know of the 1632 series of novels, but any other suggestions would be welcome. Thank you.

It's always a delight reading your mission logs Are the VonKermans going to build a 'Buran' analog? Or are they satisfied with their existing fleet of medium lift launchers?

An uncrewed jool mission departed to it's destination today. Scientists at KSC have been suspicious about the presence of Oxygen in the Laythian atmosphere, hence they are sending a Jet Technology Demonstrator to check for oxygen, and if conditions are nominal the Jet plane will be used to scout for a landing site for the crewed mission after collecting science from nearby biomes. Once it's bingo on fuel, parachutes will drop it safely on the landing zone with all the science data safe. The deorbit motors of the Laythe Jet T/D being used to boost the vehicle to check flight characteristics.

Ugh it's like 3700 m/s. To be honest, since I am using ISRU, just the core tank would have been enough to comfortably make the trip. Or I could ditch the core stage and main engine and push the IPV with the lander engines alone (margins would be very thin in that case). So today I realized that the Jool transfer window was only 6 days away. I did not want to waste this opportunity. However my original plan was to make a 'uncrewedJool 5' (if that made sense) for max science recovery without crew. But I decided against it, and instead sent up a 'SnapKitty Exploration Tool (SKET) to explore the Joolian moons from orbit (maybe land on Bop and Pol) and return with the science. I also got a chance to verify my 10 ton rocket SSTO. The rocket SSTO is launched! The Payload: SnapKitty Exploration Tool with chemical kick stage. The SKET is a nuclear electric probe designed to explore outer planets (Sponsored by the World's First Record-keeping Society) . The botched landing burn, and the accidental water landing. I have always thought that the Vector engines need to be more efficient in vacuum. They are SSME analogues, thus they should at least have an ISP of 340s in vacuum for being so heavy and goshdanged expensive, imho. Also, this rocket SSTO has a cross range of a brick. If I could add some wings and control surfaces, maybe I would get more flexibility while landing.

Yes it took me 5 launches for the VEPM(tm). I was nervous about double docking initially, but I think this to be more stable than single docking under high thrust and less threatened by the Krakken. Launch 1 : The core module with service module attached. Launch 2, 3 and 4: Drop tanks 1, 2 and 3 Launch 5 : Satellite bay. I got bored of drop tanks. Launch 6: Drop tank 4 Despite calling them drop tanks I don't think I will be 'dropping' any of those. This docking operation was a painful, yet a rewarding experience and I don't have the heart to eject those tanks in the cold unforgiving vacuum of space. The stack will be refueled in Ike orbit and brought back in its entirety to Kerbin orbit where it will be reused for the next Duna/Dres mission The reason its called the IPV Bruh! is because Valentina got bored waiting for the maneuver node that was still 48 days away. So she plotted a course and ejected to Duna orbit. But, if she had followed the original plan, she would have been in space 53 fewer days than her current travel time and unlike the scientists who are busy at the Lab, she has nothing to do but wait, wait and wait. And the government classified her and her crew as pirates. That's why the entire population of Kerbin is right now 'Bruh!'ing her on literally every online forum over the Kerbnet because they think she was making a point against the establishment, and they relate to her (Obviously that was not the case! Valentina was just bored, thats it!). Thus, the spaceship is now unofficially named 'IPV Bruh!'. The general public is cheering on for her and the crew and wishes them the best of luck much to the chagrin of the government which is now looking for a scapegoat.

I completed my first interplanetary vehicle "IPV Bruh!". It launched its heavy butt to Duna and will get there in 292 days. Interestingly, another launch window 43 days from now will get its payload to Duna 8 days before. Here's the IPV Bruh! The satellite bay contains 4 comms/ science sats and 1 resource survey satellite. A closer look at the satellite bay. Please keep in mind that it has been autostrutted to infinity and beyond, else it would rip apart everything. I dunno why, but no matter how much I reassure myself that this mission will go okay, there's a part of my brain which keeps screaming in my ears that the crew's gonna die. Let's see how this plays out.
