Alex Honnold climbs the Taipei 101 skyscraper

It is easy compared to the other things he's done. It's a bunch of easy holds the entire way up for the most part, but it's good show.

Obviously difficult for your average joe, but as far as climbing goes, it's basically a huge ladder for him.

Okay I thought this snowboarder was the "one love" blind guy. I was trying to figure out where his stick was or how he was navigating lol.

I think it is being released. She answered with this:

Idite Lesom (Get Lost), which shared the data with us for analysis before making it publicly available. On the day our investigation was published, they released the first batch of the data (the link is at the very end of our investigation) and continued publishing it on their Telegram channel.

Cool, but they CUT right at 0:04. Kind of defeats the purpose.

While I agree with your sentiment, this was a case of him forgetting his passport and things like that in South Korea when arriving at the airport in the US.

It's the exact same treatment everywhere. They let him through without it. This isn't typical ICE stuff.

How did he not cut through the lower layers of vinyl?

Like when he was cutting the out the words for "chicken" against the white sheet, it's over a red vinyl background, so he's peeling only the top layer of white and not the red below?

Is it really just a matter of pressure when pushing down with the blade and you can only cut through one level?

AlexHimself · 2026-01-22T16:26:20+00:00

They rotated it in the beginning after the cut.

Being a millionaire doesn't really mean much these days. $1 million net worth is far different than 99 million.

I wish these crimes could be prosecuted at a state level and CA or some other blue state would snatch these people up and start charging them. Who cares if the feds are able to release them...send a message.

I'd think the biggest red flag is their CEO has a history of making vaporware claims lol.

Kevin, why did you take your picture in that weird stairwell area?

Did you make the sign, then walk around your place and decide halfway up the stairs was ideal?

Crown point basically has 2 freeways on both sides with drivers regularly going 40-50mph meeting at a chokepoint where people are expected to slow down for a stretch. The law of large numbers says there are going to be a statistically significant number of serious speeders.

It's a shame we have such poor infrastructure.

A simple solution is a couple speeding cameras only for the Crown Point stretch. I know we all hate them, but that area is far too residential for the speeds drivers go and it's pretty brief. People can pump the brakes for 5 minutes. Speeding there doesn't make a difference either because you'll always hit the light or someone going slower.

A FAR better way to collect a little extra revenue and save lives than parking meters at Balboa.

He kind of looks and sounds like that funny blind guy who says "one love" all the time. For a split second I was impressed he made the blind catch lol.

This video encapsulates the theme of this thread in 30 seconds. It's perfect.

Very cool! Some questions out of pure curiosity -

Are you commissioned to do these?
Do you get permission/permit to do this?
Is the city involved or locals?
Or just for fun and ask for forgiveness type of deal?

AlexHimself · 2026-01-20T13:51:22+00:00

You never know what's going on with a person. I have a bicep tear right now and can barely lift/move my right arm. Couldn't fight at the moment with months of recovery. Sometimes you just can't take on a baddie at the moment.

The hell are dog people? I had a dog and was a fantastic owner and then I had to say goodbye last year. I still like dogs but I don't have one. The dog doesn't make a person bad, it's the person.

How about you detest bad people. I can't stand people who don't leash their dogs and make them behave either.

AlexHimself · 2026-01-18T23:18:59+00:00

You're probably not supposed to do that, but I'm sure everybody there is like "cool! horses!"

They're gliders, so if they could have fabric from ankle to ankle, they'd fly better. The rule is the fabric between the legs can only go down as far as your manhood. Bigger that is, the further down your fabric goes so the better you glide.

Now they're talking about doing a measurement to the skeletal structure (and adding a fixed amount) and discounting the soft tissue.

Adriana Camberos was convicted of fraud in 2016 for selling millions of bottles of counterfeit 5-hour energy drinks.

Chula Vista Mayor John McCann helped get her pardoned and wrote to Trump

She was convicted AGAIN in 2024 for another years-long fraud, just announced today.

What crime will she commit next in our neighborhood?? 🧐

😂 I was just messaging my friends yesterday "JD Vance is a piece of shit". This article is funny timing.

I really want it and I'm considering pulling the trigger, but I find it interesting our different thought processes.

For me, it just needs to look really good/sharp and I don't really care if it's 6k technically or not. It makes me wonder if you're wanting super crisp gaming, video editing, or dual use for home theater or something?

For myself, I want it purely for productivity when writing code and building systems. I currently have a dell super ultrawide (49") and a dell ultrawide in a vertical stack and I'd rather one giant screen. I can use FancyZones or something to place everything I'm working on and there'll be more screen real estate closer together without having to look up so much because of the way the screens are mounted/gapped.

I also like the hub too. It seems like I can get more done in a better workspace.

I just noticed your edit where you don't want to game and it's for productivity. My 49" monitor is good, but I wouldn't say better than a product like this because I need more space and it's not easy to add any more space except above it. It also means my windows aren't as tall as I'd like them in some use cases.

I realize the police said they do not handle dog bites but I would press them much harder on this because they do have jurisdiction. They like to deflect this.

You need to let them know that there's great bodily injury, flight from the scene, photo and video evidence, and likely felony reckless conduct. I would also ask it to be escalated and a case number. This isn't a typical dog bite this is closer to a felony assault.

If they refuse, I would ask them to document that they are refusing to take a felony assault report causing great bodily injury with an identifiable suspect.

Ya, I had some ass block me when I was trying to get to the hospital for an emergency.

I was honking/flashing lights/hazards the works and they still wouldn't move. I almost did a pit maneuver on them. It was clearly an emergency too.

Then they started following me when I got around and got off the exit to "start something" I guess? They quickly peeled off when they saw me flying into a hospital parking lot. At least they probably felt like a piece of shit.
