Don't Copy-Paste from Website to Terminal

Definitely, I didn't even know that command :D - but I had to `apt-get install sl` on my machine first. Maybe just do a telnet to a nonstandard port on my server and then send special characters to do the animation? That could work...

Yeah, I didn't consider the fact that not everyone has sl on their machine.

It is a sad world we live in where some people don't have sl installed.

sl is horrible - I don't need to waste however many seconds just because I mistyped something.

I always install sl because it helps me. If I'm frustrated from typing too quickly/angrily to even get "ls" right, the little train breaks me out of my fugue state and I have to laugh and shout "choo choo!" in the office :D
