11:10:14 <Wolf01> better save and turn off... thunderstorm incoming
11:12:43 *** EyeMWing has joined #openttd
11:16:51 <LadyHawk> people still turn stuff off when a storm's coming?
11:21:28 <LordAro> i would if the storm was close

11:45:06 <peter1138> I had a computer that failed after a lighting storm. Turned it was 'just' the PSU, but this was when PCs cost £1500 to replace.
11:47:03 *** Eddi|zuHause2 is now known as Eddi|zuHause
11:47:05 <Eddi|zuHause> anyone have a clue how to find out why my computer just beeped and shut itself off?
11:48:28 <LordAro> one of my earliest memories is of my dad's computers getting fried by a lightning strike to the electricity pylon just outside our house
11:48:49 <LordAro> Eddi|zuHause: it saw the discussion about thunderstorms and got scared?
11:49:56 <Eddi|zuHause> i wasn't using it. so why would it be warm?
11:50:45 <Alberth> the Windows preheating cycle, as it sensed you wanted to use it soon :p
11:51:43 <Alberth> although modern machines do a lot of stuff while you are not looking :)
11:55:41 <Wolf01> time to return at what I was doing

12:53:13 <Eddi|zuHause> i was just wondering why the computer was louder than usual, even though i made sure fancontrol was running
12:53:23 <Eddi|zuHause> then i realized i forgot hdparm -S

16:23:21 <andythenorth> maybe I should rethink it
16:26:33 <andythenorth> cargo ships don’t evolve
16:26:38 <andythenorth> I am thinking of faking some
16:26:52 <andythenorth> some of the other types get hydrofoils or hovercraft or whatever
16:27:21 <Alberth> do a little decrease in speed in the beginning?
16:27:31 <andythenorth> it’s boring enough in the beginning :)
16:27:38 <andythenorth> Iron Horse got fun once we ignored reality
16:28:02 <andythenorth> I should add a hover barge, or a hydrofoil fishing boat or something
16:28:35 * andythenorth is just avoiding fixing FIRS :P
16:29:27 <Alberth> the problem is that such needs do not go away on their own :(
16:31:05 <andythenorth> when I have a few hours straight uninterrupted I’ll fix it
16:31:12 <andythenorth> but it won’t get done in 10 mins :(
16:32:02 <Alberth> yeah, task switching is very inefficient :(
16:36:31 <andythenorth> yoghurt -> python -> yoghurt -> fighting -> python
16:40:05 <Alberth> the new generation is bigger, but sometimes slower, and with lower reliability (although that may be the year)
16:42:23 <andythenorth> I never look at reliability :)
16:43:38 <Alberth> but the speed bothers me more, tbh
16:46:15 <frosch123> @topic set 1 1.4.1, 1.4.2-RC2

16:47:35 <andythenorth> it’s just canal versus river, no? o_O
16:47:53 <andythenorth> hmm, the costs are quite disparate
16:51:34 <andythenorth> I suspect that feature is bogus
16:51:48 <andythenorth> it’s not like canals or rivers offer any other advantage
16:51:56 <andythenorth> any route over them incurs a bridge
16:52:04 <andythenorth> which slows down trains / RVs
16:52:22 <andythenorth> canals and rivers are basically a negative feature
16:52:39 <andythenorth> I mean a ramped bridge
16:52:42 <andythenorth> rather than flat :P
16:54:17 <andythenorth> and building docks on river / canal is an exercise in stupidity
16:54:41 <andythenorth> shall I get rid of the river / canal speed distinction in Squid?
16:55:09 <Alberth> I never build long transports on rivers :)
16:55:39 <Alberth> nah, I like it, at least I check it when buying a new ship
16:56:19 <frosch123> make it a grf parameter :p
16:56:33 <frosch123> so people can set extreme values like 1% :)
16:57:19 <frosch123> or fill 10 forum pages with discussing what value is realistic :)
16:57:57 <Alberth> you can discuss that for every ship in the set independently :)
17:01:57 <andythenorth> the only thing that really bugs me is that the Marstein freighter (270t) is supposed to replace both Cumbrae (160t) and Altamira (360t)
17:02:01 <andythenorth> doesn’t work somehow
17:02:31 <frosch123> make them duck-powed
17:03:08 <frosch123> a duck would also work as a tug-boat upgrade
17:03:29 *** Myhorta has joined #openttd
17:03:44 *** KWKdesign has joined #openttd
17:20:41 <andythenorth> 100t hovercraft?
17:21:23 <frosch123> you can also add ecranoplanes
17:23:08 <andythenorth> I never got excited about those :P
17:23:48 <frosch123> well, but they are fast ships
17:24:33 <frosch123> but ok, they may not work on canals

18:14:17 <keoz> there is so much to fix in FISH, andythenorth ?
18:16:14 <keoz> I thought SQUID was intended as replacement to FISH, thus making that one obsolet. Actually for myself, I only use fish, not squid.
18:17:24 <andythenorth> Squid replaces FISH
18:17:28 <andythenorth> but Squid is rubbish
18:19:49 <Alberth> maybe rethink what Squid was supposed to fix from FISH?
18:20:02 <andythenorth> too many pointless ships
18:20:14 <andythenorth> also I had to completely rething refitting due to autorefit
18:21:12 <Alberth> be liberal, refit to anything that the ship can transport :)
18:21:31 <Alberth> it's bad enough you cannot transport several cargoes at the same time
18:27:26 <andythenorth> Squid refit is pretty liberal
18:27:41 <andythenorth> the only problem I think is model progression at the smaller end
18:27:53 <andythenorth> and maybe the range of sizes at smaller end
18:28:52 *** Midnightmyth has joined #openttd
18:45:54 * andythenorth considers playing a game
18:46:34 <andythenorth> maybe 1.4.2-RC2 needs a test :P
18:47:10 <Alberth> seems like a good enough excuse :)
18:48:03 <andythenorth> is there a new GS yet?
18:49:18 <andythenorth> is city growth fun?
18:49:22 <andythenorth> what’s the win condition?
18:50:02 <frosch123> there is a dozen of city growth gs
18:50:09 <frosch123> someone should make a wiki page about the differences
18:50:33 <andythenorth> I can’t find any with goals
18:50:40 * andythenorth needs goal-directed game play :P
18:50:47 * andythenorth is hopeless without goals
18:51:08 <andythenorth> I guess SV, again :)
