19:55 < todd> sdodson: I got drunk and didn't make it :[
20:18 <@Evilpig> http://i.imgur.com/N9yRX.jpg  <-- NICE!
20:21 < RangerZ> yeah
20:21 < RangerZ> reminds me of the original xbox mods

20:36 <@Evilpig> Who can get dagmar's helmet away from him?  I've got an idea! http://i.imgur.com/cV7cN.jpg
20:38 <@Dagmar> Unfortunately there's stupid laws against shit like that
20:38 <@Dagmar> ...otherwise I'd be riding around with a pumpkin on my head for most of October
20:50 < RangerZ> i've actually been thinking about roller blading the ~7 blocks i have to walk from isis to vandy campus
20:50 < RangerZ> though i never rollerbladed on ice... so i'm afraid that would be a major issue, lol
20:51 <@Evilpig> lol
20:53 < RangerZ> though tbh... i think it might be possible
20:53 < RangerZ> if you follow the same line of logic on ice skates
20:53 <@Dagmar> Umm... no.
20:53 <@Dagmar> You will eventually figure out why, and then you'll feel silly.
20:53 < RangerZ> but that would take special wheels and being able to lock them (likely)
20:54 <@Dagmar> It would take BLADES.
20:54 < RangerZ> actually i used to speed ice skate with most a semi-pro hockey team's members
20:55 <@Dagmar> Then think about this carefully.
20:55 < RangerZ> i know exactly why it wouldn't work, it wouldn't create the mico-water barrier between the blade and the skate
20:55 <@Dagmar> No.
20:55 <@Dagmar> You're miles from correct.
20:55 <@Dagmar> ICE.
20:55 <@Dagmar> How much traction are you going to get with hard poly wheels on ICE
20:55 < RangerZ> err sorry, "between the blade and the ice"
20:56 <@Dagmar> What's going to happen when you push off perpendicular to the skate blade
20:56 <@Dagmar> Think carefully
20:56 < RangerZ> dude... it was a thought experiment... it isn't possible, but not b/c of what you are thinking
20:56 < RangerZ> i know the skates don't exist to provide that capability
20:56 <@Dagmar> No, it'll be a damn nightmare because of what I'm thinking.
20:56 < RangerZ> but the IDEA is sound
20:57 <@Dagmar> No, it's really not.
20:57 < RangerZ> problem is you'd need special skates
20:57 <@Dagmar> Try to ride a motorbike with round tires on ice sometime
20:57 <@Dagmar> Yeah, special skates with blades on them.
20:57 < RangerZ> not ...exactly...
20:57 < RangerZ> the wheels could have a little groove in the center
20:57 <@Dagmar> Either that or spikes
20:58 < RangerZ> which would provide you the griping power, which is what ice skates have
20:58 < RangerZ> which is why you have to get yours re-sharpened
20:58 < RangerZ> which is why i'm saying it would take a meta, material, one to be strong enough to grip the ice, but not cut into the ground
20:59 <@Dagmar> ...and why do you suppose we don't have car tires made of this material
20:59 < RangerZ> b/c even in NE ohio we rarely get ice covering EVERYTHING evenly (though it does occur)
20:59 <@Dagmar> ...might it perhaps be because ice is slippery?
20:59 < RangerZ> b/c they are too expensive
20:59 < RangerZ> and the motions of skate tires isn't the same as car ties
20:59 < RangerZ> tires*
20:59 < RangerZ> IF it even exists
21:00 < RangerZ> jesus, don't try to prove you are right all the time, sometimes others have put thought into comments that might not be apparent to YOU
21:00 <@Dagmar> I could care less about who's right
21:00 < RangerZ> now i never said i was _going_ to do it, just that it _could_ be possible (not yet)
21:01 <@Dagmar> What I care about is that you proposed something that would most likely reacquaint you with the fact that gravity is merciless, and the ground is fuckin' hard.
21:01 <@Dagmar> Round wheels and ice don't mix well _at all_
21:01 < RangerZ> yes they do
21:02 < RangerZ> you just have to be going slow
21:02 <@Dagmar> You wouldn't even have enough traction to try to push yourself back upright
21:02 < RangerZ> and have a lot of grip, and surface area
21:02 < RangerZ> aka... common to deflate your tires to improve traction
21:02 < RangerZ> toyota/firestone make special tires that go down to 7psi
21:02 < RangerZ> for just that thing
21:02 <@Dagmar> Car tires are not spherical like bike/inline wheels
21:03 <@Dagmar> You basically drop a dimension on bike/inline wheels
21:03 < RangerZ> umm no
21:03 <@Dagmar> You can get on the bike, and it can jump out from under you before you even try to move it
21:03 < RangerZ> it is thinner, but still there
21:03 < RangerZ> ice skate blades are even thinner
21:04 <@Dagmar> ...and yet force applied perpendicular to the blade has grip because it can at least cut into the ice.
21:04 <@Dagmar> Hint: I'm speaking from experience on both counts here.
21:04 < RangerZ> ok
21:04 <@Dagmar> At the time I was thinking "What's the worst that can happen.  I can fall down.  No biggie."
21:05 <@Dagmar> What it amounted to was that I had to crawl back into my aaprtment. lol
21:06 <@Dagmar> After the third pavement slapping in a row, I finally conceded gravity's point.
21:06 <@Dagmar> You really can't stand up on inline skates with ice.  It's brutal
21:07 <@Dagmar> If you start listing to one side or the other, there's no way to get enough traction to even push yourself back upright
21:07 < RangerZ> thats your lack of foresight, not mine, and i still say it is possible, but would require wheels-that _probably_ haven't been invented, might need tread like mountain bike tires, or a groove like ice skates, i DON'T  know, but it should be possible as long as it can transition from ice to solid ground and back smoothly
21:07 <@Dagmar> Your options become: 1. Very wide-legged stance and possible groin injury, and 2) falling down lots.  Heh
21:08 < RangerZ> you don't ice skate a lot do you?
21:08 <@Dagmar> No, I don't.
21:08 <@Dagmar> I can however, ice skate

21:13 <@Dagmar> Actually, now that it's cooling off again I'm considering taking my skates out to Dragon park
21:14 <@Dagmar> I was dumb and got fairly hard wheels, so they're freaking murder on street pavement
21:14 <@Dagmar> Feels like I'm riding with a jackhammer pounding on both feet
21:14 <@Dagmar> Sidewalks, on the other hand... YAY
21:14 <@VampirePenguin> lol
21:16 <@Dagmar> You laugh, which tells me you've not tried it.  Heh
21:16 <@VampirePenguin> oh but i have]
21:16 <@Dagmar> I thought I might need to count my toes the first time I got done
21:16 <@Dagmar> Okay heh
21:16 <@VampirePenguin> downhill on inlines
21:17 <@VampirePenguin> scared the shit out me and on a freeway no less
21:17 <@Dagmar> I dont' have a problem with the speed.
21:17 <@Dagmar> It's the feeling that quite possibly the bones in my feet are being reduced to powder that worries me.
21:18 <@VampirePenguin> that happened too
21:18 <@VampirePenguin> gotta love those warm calif days
21:20 <@Dagmar> It's a little irksome my boss plays Glitch.
21:20 <@Dagmar> There's about nine giants in the storyline that each basically represent a faction.
21:20 <@Dagmar> You can gain favor with these factions by donating at their shrines.
21:20 <@Dagmar> One of them is named "Pot"
21:21 <@VampirePenguin> im waiting for twilight breaking dawn
21:21 <@Dagmar> I would max that out just for a laugh, but then there might be Questions.
21:21 <@VampirePenguin> lol
