| cmaloney | morning | 13:01 |
| cmaloney | "The Secret Service was already initialized" | 17:25 |
| cmaloney | messages from gnome-keyring-daemon | 17:25 |
| greg-g | cmaloney: you hope | 17:49 |
| cmaloney | Yeah, when people are out to get you paranoia is just good thinking. | 17:51 |
| * greg-g adjusts his tinfoil hat | 17:55 | |
| * cmaloney gets out the slinkys to help augment the radio signals away from his head. | 18:03 | |
| rick_h | I got one for michael for christmas last year | 18:04 |
| cmaloney | a tinfoil hat? | 18:04 |
| rick_h | it lasted two days before michael kinked it beyond use | 18:04 |
| rick_h | slinky | 18:04 |
| cmaloney | Thought you needed to be at least 10 to get one of those proper | 18:04 |
| cmaloney | rick_h: Yeah, I think the half-life of a slinky is directly proportional to how much it's played with | 18:04 |
| cmaloney | but it's cool that they're made in Canton MI | 18:07 |
| greg-g | yeah, ours lasted a little while, but I was anal about it. Semi fixed it a couple times, now it just sits in the random toy bin unused :( | 18:07 |
| cmaloney | :( | 18:07 |
| cmaloney | It's a strange-ass toy to be sure | 18:07 |
| cmaloney | "hey kids, here's a coil of metal" | 18:08 |
| rick_h | heh, well the first time you show them how it does stairs they're amazed | 18:10 |
| rick_h | 20min later it's wrapped around them as a giant form of jewelry and the untangling commences | 18:10 |
| rick_h | then you get where dad is into his 3rd hour trying to restore it at $4.99 for the toy he's currently earning about $2/hr of labor | 18:11 |
| rick_h | greg-g: how goes the van shopping? | 18:12 |
| _stink__ | whenever i tried to demo the slinky on the stairs it didn't work | 18:12 |
| cmaloney | _stink__: Yeah, it doesn't work well on USA stairs | 18:13 |
| cmaloney | I think they changed stairs in newer homes to be wider | 18:13 |
| cmaloney | as opposed to the death-traps of older homes | 18:13 |
| cmaloney | rick_h: Hah | 18:13 |
| rick_h | greg-g: van porn https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWysv3wFKyy6D8gj8lWmAuB7B--nAeSOT makes me want to get a van to tow with, well kinda | 18:13 |
| rick_h | lol | 18:13 |
| rick_h | "new updated modern slinky for fat stairs" | 18:14 |
| cmaloney | rick_h: How many vehicles are you allowed in Clarkston before they send you to Hazel Park? :) | 18:14 |
| rick_h | cmaloney: we've only got 2! | 18:14 |
| rick_h | I WANT a wrangler, and a van, and a... | 18:14 |
| rick_h | but contrary to my wife, I don't find a way to get EVERYTHING I want :P | 18:15 |
| cmaloney | Just "mostly". ;) | 18:15 |
| rick_h | I mean if anyone wants to send one of these my way I won't complain https://www.santacruzbicycles.com/en-US/bronson | 18:15 |
| brousch | We're looking at new houses and went through a 100+ year old home. My wife was afraid of the stairs | 18:19 |
| jrwren | turnover is a good way you can have every vehicle you want, just not all at the same time. | 18:22 |
| jrwren | if anyone wants to send me one of these, or even just lend... I'll praise ya! http://surlybikes.com/bikes/wednesday | 18:24 |
| rick_h | jrwren: doesn't Tim roll with one of those? | 18:24 |
| rick_h | jrwren: saw a guy on a nice fat bike last night. Crazy thinking of cranking those wheels round and round | 18:25 |
| jrwren | rick_h: Tim has a fat tire for sure. I'm not sure if it is surly or not. | 18:25 |
| jrwren | yeah... I finally realized, since I ride mostly for the exercise, no reason not to go for steel frame and fat tire :) | 18:26 |
| rick_h | jrwren: I'm pretty sure it's a surly, just not sure which one | 18:26 |
| rick_h | jrwren: <3 and with tires like that it's like having a suspension | 18:26 |
| rick_h | it's why folks are <3'ing 27.5+ these days | 18:26 |
| jrwren | yup | 18:26 |
| rick_h | most common review comment is "feels like the bike has more travel than it does" | 18:26 |
| jrwren | and in surly case its important cuz they don't have suspension | 18:28 |
| rick_h | yea | 18:28 |
| cmaloney | Suspensions are for people without butts | 20:09 |
| cmaloney | gotta feel every pebble on that road. | 20:09 |
| jrwren | OUCH | 20:12 |
| cmaloney | ;) | 20:14 |
| greg-g | "alex is 8 and he's going in the baby pool" OH at home | 20:19 |
| cmaloney | Big day | 20:28 |
