The wall of shame is fantastic, thanks for sharing it.

Your sentiment is good and all, but we're talking about [email protected] here :)

Yep, same concern here about getting my hands back on the bars after signaling too. I'll for sure try preheating my gloves.

I'm also looking at getting a heater for my itty-bitty garage soon for reasons unrelated to my bike, which may help with the bars making my hands cold. Although, I'm somewhat skeptical of how much of an effect is really there since rubber grips ought to do a certain amount of insulating.

This led to some fascinating reading on Wikipedia, I never realized our bodies cycled through contraction/dilation like that. I'm going to pay attention to see if I notice it next time I'm outside for a while.

Definitely going to check those out, they're apparently highly recommended since you're the third one in this thread to mention them!

Yeah, I can see both sides here. Definitely considered heated gloves or maybe even heated liners or some sort of hand warmer, but I'd like to avoid screwing around with batteries.

I do have something like that, the pogies that I mentioned. It's an odd word. Specifically, I have Bar Mitts. Not insulated like the ones you linked, but a big improvement over nothing covering my hands even with gloves.

I like the suggestion of keeping my hands moving. Also think tightness may be an issue. I kinda-sorta have liners in the form of the inner pair of gloves, but they're not intended to be worn inside other gloves so the overall fit is probably a bit snug.

Using Bar Mitts, which are a pretty straightforward neoprene shell. I did consider lined pogies, but I actually quite like how much room is inside these.

I like the idea of work gloves, I suppose anything designed for someone working outside all day in these temperatures ought to also work well on a bike. My ride isn't too long, up to 15 minutes if I'm going into a headwind. Definitely not spending 2 hours outside on a recreational ride when it's this cold.

Thanks for the tips!

Every single recommendation for gloves is Izumi, I suppose I'd better check those out 😂

Thanks!

Hah, thanks! South Dakota, USA. Hands are really the only problem, I manage to keep everything else fairly warm with layers.

Yep, that's htop, correct assumption about it being a process manager.

I'll start to include "being repurposed as a Bitcoin miner".

You're probably best off writing the awk script in its own file instead of straight on the command line. Then you can comment to your heart's content without shell limitations. If you really want to do it inline, you might be able to do a $(# comment in a subshell). I remember doing something like that in the past, but I'm not near a computer to check right now.

Sometimes I threaten microcontrollers instead of computers. Both at work and at home. Does that count?

You see, threatening computers at home recharges me. It prepares me to threaten computers at work. Breathes life into my veins and puts strong blood in my nostrils.

I have the benefit (? depends on who you ask) of working from an office and I bike to work, so there's some nice physical activity separating work from home. I don't like going over 40 hours a week at work, I'm pretty good about that. More time to threaten computers at home instead of at work.

It's get home, make dinner for myself and my wife, watch an episode of Deep Space Nine and talk about our days, then I go upstairs to be a monkey at a typewriter.

I disassembled the interior of a linen closet on Sunday and fixed a closet door latch, already met my home improvement quota for the week. The pile of dishes in the sink is an important part of my kitchen decor, so it stays. I have nothing else to do 😅

This hobby is like work, so it's productive. Doing productive things is good!

It's all about the reward at the end of the tunnel. It's all about telling myself the result will make the process worth it. It's all about forgetting the pain so I'll repeat the cycle.

It is winter, no grass. Does snow work?
