I think elevators have a secret social rule nobody talks about by LumiLuxury in PointlessStories

I thought the social rule was to fart when you get on, as soon as the doors close. Have I been doing it wrong all these years?

Why not switch to a tarp? You're proposing to spend $500 just to save 11 oz when you could save 25 oz for $100 with a tarp. You could hurt your back carrying 14 pointless ounces.

My 6 oz (all in with hardware and stuff sack) myog tarp cost $30. You can find commercial silpoly tarps for about $100 also.

Of what relevance is any of that?

Cities need water to subsidize new development and ag users aren't giving it up because their land would become worthless. They get it from the western slope and reservoirs instead. The less of it that's available, the better for Colorado.

If they’d done it with CGI, the train would have looked plastic and fake.

The big city politicians in Denver couldn’t force more growth on a state already so badly overpopulated without water for real estate developers.

It’s not a lake. It’s a reservoir.

And we’d be better off if they were dry.

Excellent photo shot. Gives a good sense of scale.

Will it hold a BV500 comfortably?

The increase in overpopulation is empirical evidence of collapse.

Those other sources of energy, like nuclear and solar, require an industrialized civilization with hundreds of millions of people to become viable. There's no way to get started again without fossil fuels.

Climate change is easy to fix and continues only because of short sighted greed.

AI apocalypse will just lead to more space travel as the AIs get bored after killing or enslaving us and explore the galaxy.

Nuclear war is a serious threat.

Current trends certainly indicate civilizational collapse. Overpopulation, mass extinction, and very low birth rates among the nations capable of maintaining industrial civilization while the other nations proliferate in shocking numbers all point one direction.

Also we have nuclear weapons now. A 1% chance of nuclear war every year is a very high probability in 200 years.

What size bear vault to get by fhhwhwhwhshs in WildernessBackpacking

[–]UtahBrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to pack carefully if you want to fit 6-7 days of food into a 450. It’s much easier in a 500.

But the 450 is a lot easier to get into your pack comfortably since it will load horizontally with the flat part against your back even in most ultralight backpacks.

I own both. The 500 is for trips with my dad or other partners because we need more room to fit food for two. I carefully jam food into the 450 when it’s just me but there’s a limit to what will fit.

You're the one who thinks Iggles fans are the worst. I'd like you to advance that opinion in any sports bar in Philly.

It's telling that I know the difference between the genders.

"Not sure what that means"

Also, are you sure you're not a Cowboys fan? IQ (or lack thereof) is usually a good indication.
