[02:23] <Scary_Guy> 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] <Scary_Guy> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_terminal_emulators
[02:25] <Scary_Guy> https://martin.ankerl.com/2007/09/01/comprehensive-linux-terminal-performance-comparison/ is great too, but outdated
[12:08] <waldo323> if you're in south east michigan, stay home if you can today
[12:08] <waldo323> the roads were quite slippery out
[12:08] <waldo323> also, good morning :)
[12:08] <Scary_Guy> morning
[12:37] <rick_h> morning, first shoveling of the day done
[12:37] <rick_h> didn't seem like that much fell
[13:33] <brousch> Snow day in Wyoming, despite there not being much snow. Back in my day ...
[13:33] <rick_h> lol
[13:33] <rick_h> yea, I do feel like there's a lot more "the forecast says so we're cancelling now
[14:25] <jrwren> i haven't been out yet, but just looking it seems like a lot fell already
[14:26] <rick_h> was just about 2in when we got up I cleared out
[14:27] <rick_h> but it's coming down faster now
[14:28] <cmaloney> Yeah, I need to get out there and plow
[14:28] <_stink_> royal oak is closed too
[14:28] <_stink_> seems preemptive
[14:29] <rick_h> ok, I want to do this now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=awm8wytQctU&t=1s
[14:30] <rick_h> rick snowblowing heh https://youtu.be/KbjER5PBqQI
[14:38] <Scary_Guy> skibike looks cool, but it would be way cooler with a fat rear studded tire
[14:39] <rick_h> I don't think it'll get the drift effect the skibike is looking for
[14:48] <cmaloney> rick_h: THat footage looks way more edited to show it moving than I would like. :)
[14:48] <rick_h> cmaloney: show it moving?
[14:48] <cmaloney> You'd definitely need some more hills than trad Michigan to make it work
[14:48] <rick_h> hah, just means you spend more time on the lift
[14:48] <cmaloney> heh
[14:49] <rick_h> 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] <rick_h> we hit up crystal mountain every winter, need to get them into these
[14:49] <cmaloney> THey look more cool than what I first imagined
[14:49] <cmaloney> 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] <jrwren> LMAO @ rick snow blowing. I should make a jay shoveling video ;)
[14:50] <rick_h> cmaloney: yea, and with my knee I'm not eager to get back into trying out the ski stuff
[14:51] <rick_h> but this looks downright fun
[14:51] <rick_h> jrwren: :)
[14:53] <Scary_Guy> I'd rather carry a gigantic bulletproof convex shield to double as a sled.  seriously snow troops should have those
[14:57] <cmaloney> Scary_Guy: There's probably a reason they don't have those. :)
[14:58] <rick_h> because butts double as sleds?
[14:58] <rick_h> wheeeee
[14:59] <cmaloney> not if there's ice
[14:59] <jrwren> butt sled is fun, until there are sticks.
[15:00] <rick_h> or sharp rocks...ok true enough
[15:00] <Scary_Guy> also a bulletproof sled would hold up better against those too
[15:00] <Scary_Guy> I'm liking this idea more and more
[15:01] <rick_h> you go make your millions
[15:01] <rick_h> I hear military spending is on the rise
[15:01] <jrwren> its captain america guys.  Scary_Guy just wants to be captain america.
[15:01] <cmaloney> Pretty uch
[15:01] <cmaloney> much
[15:02] <Scary_Guy> lol
[15:03] <Scary_Guy> the shield just needs to be black and gold though
[15:09] <jrwren> if its red black and gold it can be Captain Germany
[15:09] <jrwren> or Belgium :]
[15:09] <Scary_Guy> only red from the blood of my enemies :p
[15:10] <jrwren> nice!
[16:03] <waldo323> 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] <waldo323> 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] <waldo323> 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
