Some satisfying icicle-breaking in our backyard: photos.falsifian.org/video/sM7G3vfS6yuc/VID_20250217_203250.mp4
I couldnāt resist taking home a prize:
Itās been snowy here in #Toronto.
(I tried formatting the images in markdown for the benefit of yarn and any other clients that understand it.)
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org
it look like your markdown image tags are missing the protocol part (https://) so they donāt render at least on my server: https://darch.dk/timeline/conv/3vtnszq
@prologic@twtxt.net All the URL are missing the protocol part (https://) and my markdown parser does not know how to handle but I see yarnd does it just fine.
@sorenpeter@darch.dk Sorry, I realized that shortly after posting. Hereās another attempt to post the images:
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Wooooaaaahhh! That is BY FAR the biggest icicle Iāve ever seen. Really cool! :-) How long did it take to melt in your sink? The video download is still dripping in, looking forward to that.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Still melting! 
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Mate, what an amazing video, holy cow! :-D We only get complete jokes of icicles compared to what you had there ealier today. Itās a giant wall. For how many days did that grow on your roof?
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Hahaha, thatās sick, I love it! :-D I envy you a bit. On the other hand, I have to admit Iām glad that I donāt have to chisel down giant blocks of ice from the house.
@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I donāt remember exactly. They might have been growing all winter. The trick is to have a badly insulated extension to the house.
yes it works now :)
@falsifian@www.falsifian.org Phew, okay. So, it took a few months to grow that big. I feared that it could have been just a week or so. Yeah, insulation always is a good idea.
