Mather, give it up already.

Ross, I ill not accept the fact that Culombs can't be used to meassure mass as a reason why mass meassurement should replace it as a meassure of electrical charge.

 

He kept the much more complicated Grays as a unit of radiation, whereas 1 is already far past deadly and decimals don't exist. Which by the way is Coulomb times Voltage divided by mass.

[Nexaduro]

Oh, so you admit that I'm right and you're wrong and that Archi shouldn't have to measure electrons with fish. I'm so glad we agree.

So we are agreed, science is for twits, pseudophysics is cool.

I said it much better. <_<

 

Moving on, is anyone willing to donate two research points for Giant Frickin' Robot research?

[The_Mather1]

I don't have any, but if the tech is for generally large robots to be better then I sure could need it for the second scrap bot.

 

Also I need name ideas for the small guy.

[Nexaduro]

Jacques. Everyone needs a mascot named Jacques. :thumbsup:

Grays is not complicated, it is Rad*1,000. Unlike rads though, it has a simple 1-40 system of substantive risk to certain death, and a handy chart on the wiki page.

And given you asked for an actual measurement of Radiation, after I said 'alot' its highly hypocritical to say it is overcomplicated.

 

Coulombs can be used to measure electrical charge, I simply refuse to use them.

I also refuse to see why I should give corridor lengths as Parsecs because someone wants to use them, because it is vastly overcomplicated and unneccessary, and I have no time to do those calculations.

 

Given my tenative understanding of electronics, speculative scientific concepts and lack of time or inclination to explore concepts such as these, it is hardly suprising that I am not using them.

 

Coulombs have the additional flaw in that a wormhole generator requires an unknown amount of power and most data gives generator output in watts and joules, not columbs. Similarly most data on ohmic caculations are in volts, amps and ohms, not columbs.

kT bypasses this by virte of also being an unknown quanity.

 

Mask, do I have to doom you too? I'll shoot you with my new TBS or chuck the turtle at you.

[The_Mather1]

Watts actually give you two ways to get to culomb, as long as either the voltage or amperage is known, it is also possible if you know the resistance, but that's much harder. Culomb is often not included because most ohmic calculations asume the power will last forever, unlike what most electrical storage devices allow. And the reason I complain about the system is because the value of 1kt in electrics is unkown, which means it could just as well be infinite or nonexistant.

Better than arbitrarily using real figures, like saying it takes a googleplex of coloumbs to make a wormhole...just turns into battle before mod and player.

 

This resembles a conversation I once observed, where all the angles in a triangle was known.

The first person launched into an explaination of all the various methods you could use pythagous, and sine, and cosine to work out the lengths of the sides. The second person simply said that the only thing you knew about the triangle was that all the angles added up to 180, and you could express the lengths relative to each other.

And after about 20 minutes it dawned on the first person that, yes, all of this methods could work, but they required 1 side to be known.

 

This reminds me of that.

You have stated that coloumbs can be calculated from watts, from amperes and from ohms...you have failed to notice that we don't know the watts, amperes or ohms.

And this is my point...I can assign arbitrary numbers to arbitrary systems without invalidating the system, you can't assign arbitary numbers to defined systems without invalidating it...and since you can't define the energy required to power a Stargate, you can't define the numbers, and therefore have to be arbitary.

 

 

So either you work out all the data you want and I can understand, and then I look at that and give you a kT value based on that...or you accepted the arbitrary nature of the game.

[Leiana]

Maybe I'll "accidently" shoot faust and mask instead.......

[Nero]

Oh there will probably be some shooting going on.

 

When does the next session start Arch?

[archimage_a]

Sorry guys, sister needs picking up from X, dropping off at Y...gap of 2 hours, which is really 1 hour since I have to drive home, before going and driving her back as well.

 

So tonight is cancelled. :thumbdown:

 

 

Can people post if they would have prefered to have the holey session, for future referance.

[Leiana]

Nero, shut up. You're already a target.

 

 

 

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Nero]

I like Holy stuff.

 

Also, Lynx. Quit being such a gigantic pissbag.

[Leiana]

Obviously Nero can't tell sarcasim from normal talk

[Jehosaphat]

It is difficult to tell the difference when it's typed instead of said; especially if you have your computer read everything to you in a monotone GLaDOS voice like Dusty almost certainly does.

[Nero]

Obviously Nero can't tell sarcasim from normal talk

Sarcasm...

 

First impression of Nero: WTF!

 

@ Nero: I'll never accept that invitation to frinkin ride in a tank with you! Never ask again!

 

 

I'm really tempted to kill Nero *Grumble, grumble* Damned Nero.... stupid invitation to ride inn a tank, ugh, on his lap.... never will that happen. I want to kill Nero

 

 

No. I. Do. Not. Want. A. F***ing. Tank.

 

 

Nero is an a**.

 

@ Nero: I'LL GIVE YOU A PMS PILL YOU SON OF A *****!!!!!!!

 

 

Once I fi....Aid.....you...so....dead....Nero! FYI: I don't do drugs. No medication for me IRL

 

 

*long sigh* Nero, lets just call a truce before I actually kill you or actually need your help

 

 

Nero, shut up. You're already a target.

 

 

Righto. Sarcasm. Gotcha.

[Leiana]

:) I can be such a [bleep]. Get used to it Nero. (That's not sarcasim btw) I try not to be a [bleep] to the others because they don't try to piss me off (tho I find that Faust can be very evil when he wants to be)

[Nero]

I think you're just narcissistic in thinking that everything I am doing is for some reason done to annoy/piss off you.

[Leiana]

I absolutly disagree! You're stratagies are absolutly terrible because oneway or another EVERYONE FRINKIN DIES

[Nero]

What strategies? I've only ever been active at the beginning of the game, which you weren't around for.

[Leiana]

Nero, lets end this conversation. I'm asking for a truce. I'll just be a bystander to you're conversations unless if I disagree with something you say, and you stop being a jerk. (I'm being serious)

Truce?

[Earth]

So, Arch, using power from the sun wouldn't be able to power a mass fabricator?.. .. Hmm. Let's use the suns heat then.

[Nexaduro]

... #-o

 

You intend to use the sun as a massive fusion generator then?

[Nero]

Nero, lets end this conversation. I'm asking for a truce. I'll just be a bystander to you're conversations unless if I disagree with something you say, and you stop being a jerk. (I'm being serious)

Truce?

I fail to see how I'm being a jerk at all.

[Leiana]

*Sigh* Nobody ever realizes that they're being a jerk Nero. It's always someone else who points it out.
