A completely new build of dwm using polybar. Still having issues getting vanitygaps to build successfully.

Nice pic and your dog's got that fire in her eyes and may she rest in canine power!

Thank you guys:)

She once saved my wife's life.
We had decided to float a river here when we shouldn't have. Skill doesn't always make up the difference. It had rained for a few days before and the river was in flood stage. Not a brilliant decision, but we had planned to get a mile or so downstream and camp out the flood on a bluff we liked.

We were never able to stop there, and then nowhere else would serve. Wound up traveling about 24 miles in 5 hours or so, with a stop or two.

Long story short, we capsized after passing numerous wrapped kayaks and canoes, and even an individual in the water that we couldn't help. At that point we were just trying to get off the river.

The water temp was around 55F, so not horrible, but not exactly great either. We had both of our dogs with us (the other is a yorkie), they go everywhere we go.

We capsized during a turn into bank. We know how to roll with it, but the power of the water was too great and I wound up under the canoe with our yorkie, Bear. We were both wearing life vests, as was bear (Lili had no need), but I still swallowed a bunch of water.

I was able to grab bear and swing out from under the canoe. Now rapids are coming up in the far distance. Bears starts swimming for the other side of the river. So does my wife, in an effort to save bear (he didn't need saving:)

Now we have a problem. Don't know if you have ever been in flood stage water before, but it's different. The power of it denies your ability to move across the water. I'm a very strong swimmer, and felt damn near helpless.

I know the only thing I could do was to push the canoe out of the current and against the bank This took literally everything I had. Every time I would think I had the canoe out of the current, it would swing back in, float bags or no.

Meanwhile, my wife Bobbie is halfway across the river through zero control of her own, and the distance to the rapids has cut down to just a couple hundred yards. I'm thinking at this point the only option I have is to frantically get the damn canoe upright, and get my wife after the rapids should she live.

Out of nowhere, Lili flys into view, lining herself up so Bobbie can grab her tail, and then pulls her to the other shore. Safe. I had just enough space to cross the river before the rapids to pick her back up.

We lost only a lawn chair we had picked up from an earlier stop, and my favorite camping shirt:)
We don't do flood stage anything anymore. As for Lili, She had hundreds upon hundreds of miles of adventures in the woods. She led a good life:)

Delete if this is too much here for some reason.

*Edit - Might as well. That day. Howdy everybody.

I have, and I swear this is a true story. I was living in Buck's county, PA and commuted to my job via bicycle. It was a ten mile ride, down the steep hill, across the river and through the park to the street, done.

One night the river flooded, during winter, and I got caught trying to get back across the park to get home. I was drunk, I rolled up my pants, slung my bike over my shoulder and walked across the platform bridge, which was now 3 feet underwater. A tree was blocking the bridge, I caught my foot and my bike got sucked into the culvert. I then proceeded to jump into the raging, 10 foot deep and still uprising water and try and pull my bike out from the upriver side of the bridge/culverts. All that water was surging into a few culverts, less than a meter around in size each. I could have been sucked in, got stuck and drowned so easily. I gave up and walked home, a buddy and me retrieved the bike the next day, well downstream.

@sleekmason

That’s epic.

Your scenario with the culvert has killed sooo many people. Glad you made it out alive:)

I seem to have collected quite a few of these over the years. Extremely fortunate:)

Ouch that's rough @sleek...lucky you had your dear Lilidog right there.

My two distributions installed on a ThinkPad x40(date: 12/21/2006):

bl-lithium and nakeDeb

lightweight enough to be able to surf (without video), listen to music and email. Suitable for vacations (if that is possible again)
Link Link

Changed I
- the onboard conky's
- set up a ~/.Xmodmap for the missing keyboard characters
- installed and set up thinkfan, because I have to control the annoying fan
- uninstalled Tor-Browser in nakeDeb, this computing power is too big
- both have the Firefox-esr with Flagfox, uBlock-Origin, uMatrix and SkipRedirect
- the music plays with audacious (radiostream with moc i haven't managed so far)
- tlp, preinstalled in nakeDeb, I can't use because of "dead" battery

Working is just "fluid" with both distri's.

Imgur requires a phone number to make an account. So I'm trying postimages.

Using xfce for WM. The lake in the picture currently has just over 2 metres (6-7 feet) of ice on it. It warmed up to -26°C today.

I have had an imgur account since 2008 and never needed a phone number unless that changed.

Nice scrot btw...and damn cold for sure!

Have to say, keep it pretty vanilla. Just have the seconds on the tint2 clock until the new release so my minutes update right.

For a quick screenshot imgur also lets you do anonymous uploads. There's an item on the BL menu.

Can you watch video with e.g. mpv?

You mean thickness? Nice, I love walking on it. But only where I can clearly see that others walked before.
Around here, we have around -10°C these days, enough to make the Baltic Sea freeze over along the shore after a while. And plenty of snow, glittering in the sun. It's nice to have a real winter again for a change, last year was decidedly "global warmish".

It is not the real joy, most of the time it goes tough.
I am also not necessarily a fan of "videos".

This small machine with bl-lihium serves me as a distribution station here in the house (network printer and Unison), which still works excellent.

Chains! So, are these yours? and if so, what are they used for? notice some silver and blackish links. Unless somehow you made this . . . Then I would have no idea what to say but wow!

brontosaurusrex · 2021-02-10 13:41:09

^It is Blender, more. 'Chain of events' interpretation is up to individual. 'Wow' should probably go to people who can make cool materials (all taken from blendkit pack). edit: I'll take small 'wow' due to waiting for the simulation to happen.
