18:09:38 <Wolf01> wonderful, there is also EngineerDog around?
18:18:50 <Alberth> just short-circuit the cat? it looks conducting :p
18:32:55 <Wolf01> I think only italians may understand the EngineerDog one :P
18:36:55 <Alberth> quite possibly, at least I don't know what you are talking about
18:41:09 *** sla_ro|master has joined #openttd
18:41:42 <Wolf01> man, that's old, 2003... I feel old now :(
18:43:02 *** HerzogDeXtEr has joined #openttd
18:45:19 <Alberth> some comedy, it seems?
18:46:01 <Wolf01> yeah, the best one, at least it was funny, not like the ones they air now :|
18:47:01 *** sla_ro|master2 has quit IRC
18:55:51 <Eddi|zuHause> i've heard of a cat as station head, but never as conductor...

19:45:44 <DorpsGek> Commit by translators :: r27493 trunk/src/lang/greek.txt (2016-01-11 19:45:35 +0100 )
19:45:46 <DorpsGek> greek: 10 changes by Ferrum
19:46:01 <Rubidium> there were there are stations managed by cats and stations for a single schoolgoing teenager
19:59:25 *** andythenorth has joined #openttd
20:25:14 <Wolf01> andy, do you have the sariel's lego technic book?
20:28:39 *** oskari89 has joined #openttd
20:30:26 <andythenorth> I wonder if most of Sariel’s stuff on his blog also?
20:32:05 <Wolf01> I read the Sariel's blog and it has stunning instructions there, I'm trying to figure out if the book isn't just a collection of the stuff you can find for free around the blogs
20:33:12 <andythenorth> I guess it’s also a way to support Sariel
20:33:28 * andythenorth distracted, looking for model trains
20:36:50 <andythenorth> not getting FIRS done this way :P
20:37:17 <andythenorth> everything on ebay is box cars
20:41:20 <andythenorth> US online shops have nice wagons for sale at low prices, but shipping + tax is 3x as much as the price of the wagon
21:02:35 <ConductorCat> <@Rubidium> there were there are stations managed by cats and stations for a single schoolgoing teenager
21:03:32 <ConductorCat> The station for a single student, specifically.
21:05:01 <frosch123> for some reason it was even featured in german mainstream media
21:07:44 <glx> it was on twitter last week
21:09:06 <Rubidium> anyhow what keeps amazing me is that Tama became an executive of the railway company
21:10:44 <ConductorCat> Cats are natural railroad tycoons :3
21:14:24 <Rubidium> having said that, the company is apparantly worth about a quarter of a million EUR/USD so it's not that big
21:15:46 <Eddi|zuHause> hm... how do people fit rovers into rockets?
21:16:06 <frosch123> try a smart instead
21:16:42 <Eddi|zuHause> i thought of folding, but that doesn't seem to be possible
21:16:49 <frosch123> also, does it need to be inside, or can you put it on the front of the nose?
21:17:00 <Wolf01> try the ikea approach then
21:17:05 <andythenorth> can you attach it on a bungie cord?
21:20:10 <andythenorth> Ashes to ash and funk to funky
21:20:22 * andythenorth keeps up with the news
21:21:50 <andythenorth> we know Major Tom’s a junkie
21:22:32 <frosch123> is your major tom the same major tom i think about?
21:22:48 <Eddi|zuHause> frosch123: it's both too long and too wide to fit anywhere sane
21:23:28 <frosch123> no, my tom is a copy of andys
21:24:19 <frosch123> looks like a rail bicycle
21:24:23 <frosch123> it does not look powered
21:24:54 <frosch123> bicycle is likely the wrong term :)
21:25:59 <frosch123> it's just "rail cycle" in english
21:26:24 <Eddi|zuHause> i'd call it a "draisine", but that may cover a wide variety of vehicles
21:26:40 <frosch123> for me a draisine is hand/arm powered, not foot-powered
21:26:58 <Eddi|zuHause> there are also motor powered draisines
21:27:07 <frosch123> that makes no sense :p
21:27:11 <Wolf01> there are pedal powered ones too
21:27:22 <Eddi|zuHause> generally, service vehicles that don't quite deserve the term "locomotive"
21:28:25 <frosch123> Eddi|zuHause: apparently there are also military armed draisines
21:30:46 <frosch123> oh dear, i did not know "tankette" was a word
21:30:58 <frosch123> i should stop with wikipedia
21:31:12 <Eddi|zuHause> frosch123: the wikipedia article says that the original designs by Karl Drais were pedal-powered, the hand-powered versions are probably best known for their appearance in "western" movies
21:31:33 <andythenorth> lost in wikipedia eh frosch123 ?
21:31:50 <frosch123> Eddi|zuHause: i associate the hand-powered with olsenbanden, not with western
21:32:17 <frosch123> anyway, the hand-powered always appeared kind of inconvenient to me
21:32:54 <frosch123> kind of bad for the back
21:33:07 <Eddi|zuHause> anyway, the wikipedia article basically agrees with my definition above
21:35:04 <frosch123> Eddi|zuHause: my wiki says, the original one did not have pedals
21:35:07 <frosch123> but feet on the ground
21:35:24 <Eddi|zuHause> frosch123: read the next paragraph
21:35:38 <Eddi|zuHause> maybe i misunderstood it...
21:35:43 * andythenorth lost in youtube now :P
21:35:56 <frosch123> Eddi|zuHause: i am on the english version
21:48:45 <andythenorth> Mazur: it’s on topic for a train channel eh? o_O
21:49:43 *** Myhorta has joined #openttd
21:49:52 <Eddi|zuHause> Mazur: i don't think i like this song
21:55:39 <Mazur> It was one of my favourites growing up, the h=whole album, in fact, just second to Low.
21:55:56 <andythenorth> It’s too late…to be hateful
21:56:12 <Eddi|zuHause> i must have been growing up in another time
21:56:23 <andythenorth> I never knew Bowie was so important to so many people
21:56:33 * andythenorth probably a few years too young
21:57:31 <Eddi|zuHause> see, there's like 20 years inbetween
21:58:22 <Mazur> Bowie always was in tune with the time, so he kept gathering followers in each generation.
21:59:22 <Mazur> I grew up with all the greats.
22:02:29 * andythenorth has not finished FIRS 2
22:02:33 <andythenorth> can we make April further away?
22:03:03 <Eddi|zuHause> there's always next april
22:03:12 <andythenorth> you can’t be sure
22:03:41 <Eddi|zuHause> maybe, but then there's a don't-care on the release of anything anyway :p
22:04:37 <andythenorth> yes, it’s neatly self-resolving
22:05:41 <andythenorth> the silver-lining in mortality: no long having to tackle your ‘to-do’ list :P
22:06:16 <frosch123> andythenorth: i think if we make no release on 1st april, there won't be a reason to ever make a release again :p
22:06:37 <Eddi|zuHause> well, nobody made an RC yet
22:07:02 <Eddi|zuHause> i meant that, yes
22:07:31 <Eddi|zuHause> also, there haven't been a lot of changes since 1.5
22:15:09 *** smoke_fumus has joined #openttd
22:22:57 <Eddi|zuHause> Rubidium: what would that look like if no new features were allowed?
22:23:37 <Eddi|zuHause> Rubidium: which was a silly mistake?
22:33:39 <andythenorth> I could pretty much cut all trains from Iron Horse
22:33:50 <andythenorth> I use the narrow gauge roster for most things it seems :P
22:40:28 <andythenorth> dunno if this ‘fund industry chains yourself in a post-colonial territory’ thing works
22:40:46 <andythenorth> might be a Bad Idea
