[10:36] <magicaltrout> got stuck in the snow this morning
[10:36] <magicaltrout> i'm clearly winning at life
[10:38] <magicaltrout> kjackal did you get stuck in the snow this morning?
[10:39] <kjackal> sure, if that pleases you?
[10:39] <magicaltrout> that doesn't sound like a truthful answer
[10:40] <kjackal> I havent check, but I suspect the freezer is the only place I can find ice around here.
[10:41] <kjackal> I hear you got a proper winter this time
[10:41] <magicaltrout> *sob*
[10:43] <petevg> Nobody on these islands seems to know how to deal with snow. And here I thought that it wasn't that uncommon. magicaltrout: Doctor Who has had several episodes depicting London in the snow. Are you saying that the show isn't a documentary? ;-)
[10:43] <magicaltrout> it snowed once when i worked in london
[10:44] <magicaltrout> and it was a disaster cause everyone would get off the tube and compact it to ice
[10:44] <magicaltrout> then everyone else would fall over
[10:44] <magicaltrout> this is the first real snow for me in 6 years
[10:44] <magicaltrout> so no one is equipped for it because its not worth the expenditure for once every 6 years
[10:45] <petevg> There's a potted tree lying on its side in the hotel courtyard. I think that sums things up pretty succinctly ...

[11:01] <magicaltrout> welcome to the end of my road
[11:04] <gsimondon> having recently moved to Berlin, this windy cold climate with no way to reproduce coziness of at least having some snow outside is the worst aspect of the city
[11:05] <magicaltrout> i quite like the snow, i just wish it were more regular so the country could still function
[11:05] <magicaltrout> i'm bored of seeing my bedroom and my daughters desk this week
[11:42] <zeestrat> Over here in Norway, people complain when there's little snow up at the cabin and now they complain because it's too much (there's a cabin there I swear): https://gfx.nrk.no/mHFTfRnMLLszzsA2SypmhAy7z3oFvUbNUS7bf-r367CA
[11:43] <magicaltrout> lol
[11:43] <magicaltrout> no pleasing some people
[13:24] <rick_h> magicaltrout: I shoveled snow, does that count?
[13:44] <zeestrat> If anyone needs a good excuse for splurging on a snow blower: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/can-shoveling-snow-put-your-heart-at-risk-2017120612887
[14:22] <cory_fu> kwmonroe: I only just saw your question from the other day.  Charm layers no, base layers yes, unfortunately
[14:49] <rick_h> zeestrat:  except for this line in there :P "it’s possible that the connection between snowfall and heart trouble has nothing to do with shoveling snow. Perhaps there is some other snow-related risk factor, such as the use of a snow blower that is the real culprit"
[14:55] <zeestrat> rick_h: Naughty you for leaving out the latter part of that sentence ", but I’m having a hard time coming up with other plausible explanations. Can you?" ;)
[14:55] <rick_h> zeestrat: hey, I can't copy all of the text :P
[14:55] <rick_h> that would be improper use of IRC
[15:00] <zeestrat> rick_h: Haha! At least you can get a nice fallback career writing clickbaity press releases for research institutions with that attitude :P
[15:00] <rick_h> zeestrat: how'd you know my secret ambition in life?!
[15:05] <zeestrat> rick_h: Well, it's obvious where the money is with all those cold fusion plants and everlasting batteries just around the corner.
[15:05] <rick_h> zeestrat: have to look out for the future
[15:07] <zeestrat> rick_h: Had a nice trip I hope? Do y'all need any more info from me regarding https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/juju/2018-February/009887.html?
[15:07] <rick_h> zeestrat: yes, very nice trip. Did some mountain biking and came home to a ton of snow :(
[15:08] <rick_h> zeestrat: I had a call about that this morning with some folks that work on the back end and I'm currently putting a doc together identifying the different gaps as they cross different systems.
[15:08] <rick_h> zeestrat: I'd love to chat with you and tom once that's up about what we can do short term and longer term to smooth out the process
[15:09] <rick_h> zeestrat: in particular we have a tool in place we use internally called "agent auth" where you create an agent with private/public keys so that services can talk to each other in a trusted way and wonder if that'll work for your needs (even though ideally we'd just generate tokens like a GH setup)
[15:09] <rick_h> but once exists already to a great extend and one is all new code/etc
[15:25] <rick_h> I scared zeestrat away
[15:26] <magicaltrout> or made him cry
[15:26] <zeestrat> rick_h: No, rather my SO and her impending arrival (I promised to start making dinner...)
[15:26] <rick_h> zeestrat: ah, well dinner with SO > * (at least that's the line you must repeat"
[15:27] <rick_h> and wtf...I start with a ( and end with a "
[15:27]  * rick_h gets moar coffee
[15:27] <zeestrat> You got at least 4 different chars in there so well done
[15:28] <magicaltrout> noooo
[15:28] <magicaltrout> ignore them all
[15:32] <zeestrat> ^ Sounds good though. Glad to chat and help out further with that. I imagine we're not the only ones that would benefit from ripping out some gnarly CI scripts.
[15:33] <rick_h> zeestrat: definitely not alone on it
[15:36] <magicaltrout> rick_h: can you come shovel some snow for me whilst i wait for that day to come?
[15:37] <magicaltrout> took/forced the kids out for a walk an hour ago
[15:37] <magicaltrout> they officially hate me
[15:37] <magicaltrout> I believe i'm winning
[15:37] <rick_h> magicaltrout: sure, I'll get right out there.
[15:37] <magicaltrout> thanks
[15:37] <rick_h> magicaltrout: lol have to know true hate so that you can buy their love back later without any guilt
[15:37] <magicaltrout> well
[15:37] <magicaltrout> i remember my parents forcing me out for walks in the snow
[15:37] <magicaltrout> i call it indirect retribution
[15:37] <rick_h> "and with that walk over I declare...Extra Screen Time!"
[15:38] <rick_h> hah, we lived in the south so we were locked out of the house. I'd read books on the front porch.
[15:38] <magicaltrout> i believe if i locked my kids out of the hosue these days i'd have social services knocking on my door ;)
[15:39] <rick_h> yea...scary times
[15:39] <rick_h> they might have to wave to folks walking through the neighborhood
[15:39] <magicaltrout> i know right... hey kids, you need to go interact with that stranger
[15:41] <rick_h> hah, you need to awkwardly be polite with other random adults like we all had to
[20:37] <bdx> k, sent
