[15:28:47] <janrinok> I once had a bit of software (I don't remember which one...) that indicated actions to take with either a red blob or a green blob, but which were not always in the same location. A family member was almost in tears trying to use it. Changing themes did not help them - although this was many years ago so I hope that interfaces have improved since then.
[15:25:43] <fab23> I have set the Theme to Greyscale, which for me it seems to be the best match for the dark desktop theme.
[15:22:27] * janrinok is actually not colourblind but I appreciate the problems that it can cause including being viewed as unsuitable for some jobs: electrician, various driving/flying roles and so on
[15:21:16] <janrinok> ? did it change!
[15:19:12] <fab23> FatPhil: hm, so the transition from the green to the red site was easy for you. :)
[15:09:00] <FatPhil> her semiotics are terrible
[15:08:59] <janrinok> whatever - thank youi
[15:08:52] <FatPhil> or was that a forelock tug?
[15:08:39] <FatPhil> hat doff in return
[15:08:32] <janrinok> I envy you - there is no such rural equivalent in France. Even the tabacs are closed!
[15:07:51] <FatPhil> quite a fun sunday afternoon, all-together
[15:07:42] <janrinok> Give Anna my belated best wishes for the weekend
[15:07:31] <FatPhil> Oh, we street-ticked ("ticking" is having a new beer, and giving it a rating/review) on the walk.
[15:07:07] <janrinok> good excuse - as if one were needed
[15:06:14] <FatPhil> we walked from the brewpub - amazing new barrel aged stout - where we did a revisit of a couple of old favourites, to another pub today, where, as soon as we arrived, it started hammering it down with rain. So we stayed there for a while...
[15:03:15] <janrinok> lol - disregard. it is a Sunday after all. I am part way through a class of Ricard and ice
[15:02:41] <FatPhil> oooh, that would require rewinding my mind-tapes many decades
[15:02:11] <janrinok> where did you do the courses?
[15:01:54] <janrinok> I step back ...
[15:01:35] <FatPhil> done several courses in semiotics including use of colours
[15:01:10] <FatPhil> not taken as preachy, don't worrt
[15:00:59] <janrinok> sorry, not trying to be preachy - just annoyed that we don't seem to be making progress in this area
[15:00:24] <FatPhil> Preaching to the (a) victim; and (b) trained.
[14:59:37] <systemd> ^ 03Coloring for Colorblindness ( https://davidmathlogic.com )
[14:59:37] <janrinok> far from it - and nowadays there is no excuse for using red/green spectra for displaying information. It is easy to make different options that the user can choose which work best for him/her. https://davidmathlogic.com needs js.
[14:59:32] <FatPhil> I do know a blue/yellow guy - I just don't understand that all, even though I'm red-green. Luma, motherfucker, do you not see it?
[14:57:25] <FatPhil> I think we're about 7-10% of the population. It's not a minority "handicap" at all.
[14:53:58] <janrinok> The most common kind, so man has made decided that they should have opposite meanings and lets see how many accidents we can create!
[14:53:39] <FatPhil> in Europe, the green lights always have quite a bit of blue in them, so that red-greeners can have a hope of telling the top one from the bottom one, as otherwise, there's no way.
[14:52:28] <FatPhil> Runaway1956: red-green colourblind?

[14:29:20] <fab23> Runaway1956: hm, on your radar link, when moving around in the past, it is visible, that the radar located in Fort Smith may have some dirt / water on it. :)
[14:27:31] <fab23> feel free :)
[14:27:21] <Runaway1956> I suppose I should get out, and get some work done.
[14:25:34] <fab23> hm, on the rain radar, wenn you click on the "Legend" on top right of the radar, you see the color scale, and see, that it also contains gree and red :(
[14:24:19] <Runaway1956> Yes, those are easy to see! More sites should use colors that contrast like that!

[14:21:08] <fab23> Runaway1956: oh
[14:20:48] <Runaway1956> red lights are difficult to see in daylight
[14:20:46] <fab23> Runaway1956: the Swiss one starts from light grey/blue and goes to dark blue and violett
[14:20:35] <Runaway1956> Driving at night? I don't see green lights, but I almost always see them switch from green to yellow, so I'm good there
[14:19:58] <Runaway1956> exactly fab23
[14:19:43] <fab23> Runaway1956: hm, I see, the combinattion of red and green is probably the worst for such things.

[13:37:22] <Runaway1956> Mehhhhhh
[13:36:52] <Runaway1956> but I saw no weather, no wind, heavy rainfall, that would justify the red
[13:36:30] <Runaway1956> I see what looks like a patch of red that has apparently just passed over me
[13:35:56] <Runaway1956> Poor color vision puts me off of most radar displays - and that radar doesn't appear to be all that accurate anyway

[13:35:00] <Runaway1956> Yeah, we have radar, for instance https://www.accuweather.com
[13:31:43] <systemd> ^ 03MeteoSchweiz
[13:31:41] <fab23> Runaway1956: are there not any rain radars available in your area? E.g. for Switzerland we do have this: https://www.meteoschweiz.admin.ch (currently no rain, but for the past there was a little in the top left.
[13:12:36] <Runaway1956> You never know what you're going to get - the weather people described it as "thunderstorms" which could have been ugly
[13:11:48] <Runaway1956> The rain is beautiful - instead of a cloudburst, it has settled into a perfect slow, steady rainfall that should soak into the ground
[12:15:45] <janrinok> 3 minutes - he's improving. Eventually, he will not show up at all. I wonder if he knows that his calendar is not working - Ides of October was yesterday and we are all still here.

[10:33:45] <Runaway1956> And, I suppose that I should note that legal definitions are likely to change when moving from one country to another
[10:31:21] <Runaway1956> a guy who is used to backing up a semi can easily get confused when a full trailer won't go where he wants it to
[10:30:53] <Runaway1956> Oh, full trailers also back up differently than semi-trailers
[10:28:44] <Runaway1956> full trailers are harder to tow, because they weave behind the towing vehicle
[10:28:15] <Runaway1956> and maybe some mining operations use full trailers
[10:27:57] <Runaway1956> Just about all full trailers today are farm equipment
[10:27:41] <Runaway1956> Campers, utility trailers, horse/livestock trailers, whatever, part of the weight of the semi-trailer is carried by the towing vehicle
[10:27:00] <Runaway1956> It should be noted that virtually all "trailers" in private ownership are "semi-trailers"

[08:05:56] <drussell> (I don't think multiple trailers are allowed in BC even for commercially licensed vehicles in BC, BTW... You see lots of two-trailer "semi" trucks in Alberta but I don't ever remember seeing any in BC)
[08:01:31] <drussell> even
[08:01:03] <drussell> but you're allowed multiple trailers behind your truck when properly equipped here, evan as a private individual with non-commercial class 5 license
[08:00:09] <drussell> There is some total length restriction, 66 feet I think if, for example, you've got a pickup truck towing a 5th wheel-style RV and then a boat behind that...
[07:56:32] <drussell> This is for private citizen class 5 licenses in Canada, I mean... not commercial shit
[07:55:56] <drussell> as long as you don't exceed the GCWR of the tow vehicle, it's valid... As soon as you cross into BC multiple trailers are not allowed behind the tow vehicle
[07:54:57] <drussell> behind a typical pickup truck or van or whatever and then have another hitch on the back of the trailer and tow another trailer, say a boat or whatnot, behind that here in Alberta
[07:53:59] <drussell> we're still allowed to, for example, tow an RV travel trailer
[07:53:17] <drussell> Interestingly, as far as I know we
[07:53:04] <drussell> The arrangement of axles and wheels must be different to make road trains...
[07:51:40] <drussell> Additionally, when you have multiple trailers, you can't normally have a "fifth wheel" style trailer pulling another "fifth wheel" trailer...
[07:49:52] <drussell> The semi-trailer is putting much of the load on the "tractor" truck which is hauling it, instead of it just being hitched along for the tow ride
[07:48:43] <drussell> Semi trailer has to do with the axle loading and weight distribution...

[07:41:24] <halibut> Like ``hacker'', I suppose.
[07:41:05] <halibut> Seems like one of those terms that was not really well thought out in the first place, and then used so frequently it grew to beyond what it was supposed to be used for, and now the term has even less of its original meaning.
[07:20:46] <chromas> anyhow yeah, it's a semi (not the boner kind) because it's a two-piece kit
[07:19:47] <chromas> or something
[07:19:46] <chromas> Sure, but the semi-trailer would be the trailer part, while the tractor would be a semi-truck :D
[07:18:57] <halibut> chromas: I think we might be talking about the same thing? FatPhil was wondering why they were called semis (or whatever the plural of semi is), when they did not appear to be half of anything.

[05:44:18] <systemd> ^ 03Semi-trailer - Wikipedia
[05:44:18] <halibut> FatPhil: Today I learned what ``semi'' means, when referring to the tractor-trailer combination. Apparently, it refers to the trailer portion, which only has half of the full-trailer undercarraige (wheels in the back, but not front). I agree it seems a bit of a stretch to refer to that as ``semi'', though. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org
