[02:23] as 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 job [02:24] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_terminal_emulators [02:25] https://martin.ankerl.com/2007/09/01/comprehensive-linux-terminal-performance-comparison/ is great too, but outdated [12:08] if you're in south east michigan, stay home if you can today [12:08] the roads were quite slippery out [12:08] also, good morning :) [12:08] morning [12:37] morning, first shoveling of the day done [12:37] didn't seem like that much fell [13:33] Snow day in Wyoming, despite there not being much snow. Back in my day ... [13:33] lol [13:33] yea, I do feel like there's a lot more "the forecast says so we're cancelling now [14:25] i haven't been out yet, but just looking it seems like a lot fell already [14:26] was just about 2in when we got up I cleared out [14:27] but it's coming down faster now [14:28] Yeah, I need to get out there and plow [14:28] <_stink_> royal oak is closed too [14:28] <_stink_> seems preemptive [14:29] ok, I want to do this now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awm8wytQctU&t=1s [14:30] rick snowblowing heh https://youtu.be/KbjER5PBqQI [14:38] skibike looks cool, but it would be way cooler with a fat rear studded tire [14:39] I don't think it'll get the drift effect the skibike is looking for [14:48] rick_h: THat footage looks way more edited to show it moving than I would like. :) [14:48] cmaloney: show it moving? [14:48] You'd definitely need some more hills than trad Michigan to make it work [14:48] hah, just means you spend more time on the lift [14:48] heh [14:49] erica is always wanting to go to ski weekends somewhere so I just need to say she needs a find a place with ski-bikes [14:49] we hit up crystal mountain every winter, need to get them into these [14:49] THey look more cool than what I first imagined [14:49] might get me skiing with those [14:50] * cmaloney isn't particularly steady on rollerblades and other things where the akle needs to pivot [14:50] LMAO @ rick snow blowing. I should make a jay shoveling video ;) [14:50] cmaloney: yea, and with my knee I'm not eager to get back into trying out the ski stuff [14:51] but this looks downright fun [14:51] jrwren: :) [14:53] I'd rather carry a gigantic bulletproof convex shield to double as a sled. seriously snow troops should have those [14:57] Scary_Guy: There's probably a reason they don't have those. :) [14:58] because butts double as sleds? [14:58] wheeeee [14:59] not if there's ice [14:59] butt sled is fun, until there are sticks. [15:00] or sharp rocks...ok true enough [15:00] also a bulletproof sled would hold up better against those too [15:00] I'm liking this idea more and more [15:01] you go make your millions [15:01] I hear military spending is on the rise [15:01] its captain america guys. Scary_Guy just wants to be captain america. [15:01] Pretty uch [15:01] much [15:02] lol [15:03] the shield just needs to be black and gold though [15:09] if its red black and gold it can be Captain Germany [15:09] or Belgium :] [15:09] only red from the blood of my enemies :p [15:10] nice! [16:03] when 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 mix [16:05] watch 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) [16:07] i think the only sliding i did was just out of my driveway and when i did a couple cautious traction tests in my neighborhood
