Scary_Guyas far as straight up terminals go I liked terminology and gnome terminal.  I'm using terminator though because it's light on resources and does a good job02:23
Scary_Guyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_terminal_emulators02:24
Scary_Guyhttps://martin.ankerl.com/2007/09/01/comprehensive-linux-terminal-performance-comparison/ is great too, but outdated02:25

jrwreni haven't been out yet, but just looking it seems like a lot fell already14:25

rick_hrick snowblowing heh https://youtu.be/KbjER5PBqQI14:30
Scary_Guyskibike looks cool, but it would be way cooler with a fat rear studded tire14:38
rick_hI don't think it'll get the drift effect the skibike is looking for14:39
cmaloneyrick_h: THat footage looks way more edited to show it moving than I would like. :)14:48
rick_hcmaloney: show it moving?14:48
cmaloneyYou'd definitely need some more hills than trad Michigan to make it work14:48
rick_hhah, just means you spend more time on the lift14:48
cmaloneyheh14:48
rick_herica is always wanting to go to ski weekends somewhere so I just need to say she needs a find a place with ski-bikes14:49
rick_hwe hit up crystal mountain every winter, need to get them into these14:49
cmaloneyTHey look more cool than what I first imagined14:49
cmaloneymight get me skiing with those14:49
* cmaloney isn't particularly steady on rollerblades and other things where the akle needs to pivot14:50
jrwrenLMAO @ rick snow blowing. I should make a jay shoveling video ;)14:50
rick_hcmaloney: yea, and with my knee I'm not eager to get back into trying out the ski stuff14:50
rick_hbut this looks downright fun14:51
rick_hjrwren: :)14:51
Scary_GuyI'd rather carry a gigantic bulletproof convex shield to double as a sled.  seriously snow troops should have those14:53
cmaloneyScary_Guy: There's probably a reason they don't have those. :)14:57
rick_hbecause butts double as sleds?14:58
rick_hwheeeee14:58
cmaloneynot if there's ice14:59
jrwrenbutt sled is fun, until there are sticks.14:59
rick_hor sharp rocks...ok true enough15:00
Scary_Guyalso a bulletproof sled would hold up better against those too15:00
Scary_GuyI'm liking this idea more and more15:00
rick_hyou go make your millions15:01
rick_hI hear military spending is on the rise15:01
jrwrenits captain america guys.  Scary_Guy just wants to be captain america.15:01

jrwrenor Belgium :]15:09
Scary_Guyonly red from the blood of my enemies :p15:09
jrwrennice!15:10
waldo323when i was on the roads earlier there wasn't much additional snow yet but combinations of the light snow on top of the compacted snow made for a very slippery mix16:03
waldo323watch the car ahead of me start gliding while we were on a the on ramp from 96 west to 275 north and for a little while they were taking up all the lanes (i think there are 2 there but they were imaginary today)16:05
waldo323i think the only sliding i did was just out of my driveway and when i did a couple cautious traction tests in my neighborhood16:07
