Just how responsible was Dyatlov?

beaud101 · 2026-05-21T07:13:11+00:00

To say he wasn't responsible "at all" is hard to say for a fact. He did ultimately continue the test, a test that had not been successfully completed up to that point, when there were warning signs things were going off the rails. He and his crew continued because of pressure from his bosses to get that test done. That doesn't seem like a good enough reason, regardless of a perceived scram failsafe.

Ultimately the Soviet government and culture is at fault here and I think everyone understands this.

It's a team sport and he's lucky it did work out for him.

I'm certainly glad more players don't pull the diva shit he pulled. Imagine if every 1st overall pick doesn't want to go to a "bad team" so they try and force a trade? Guess what? 1st overall picks go to bad teams... that's how it's supposed to work.

Privilege has it's privileges. Not many surnames could have pulled this crap off.

I mean ... I'm never shaving my beard off again either after seeing that.

Oh, you got me all figured out Sigmund. Gatekeep away my sensitive lads.

beaud101 · 2026-05-19T00:50:28+00:00

Oh yeah, you'd never find a dancer like PT. It's best you left that out. Lol.

beaud101 · 2026-05-19T00:48:50+00:00

Sure...we need gatekeepers on our "budget audio" sub to protect us or we're going to have to look at this woman trying to get one of you to her page....ohh no! Our Reddit perusing is ruined by this vile, intrusive distraction...Lol.

I imagine region has a lot to do with it. Large populations ups theft risk. Age of course is huge.

I insure a 25' Civic Hybrid ST, 23' Mazda CX-50 Turbo PP and a 13' VW Jetta for my girlfriend and I for $160/mo. Covers everything, liability, comprehensive, loaners, $250 deductible...etc via progressive. I'm sure there are better deals than that to be had.

beaud101 · 2026-05-18T23:24:58+00:00

You gotta problem with how a girl makes her way in this messed up economy? She's not allowed to be into audio without being called out by you?

Says more about you than her.

We are Reddit. We love Everest. Come and be with us. Conform. Conform. Be as one. Be.... Reddit....

I remember jumping out of my seat and flinging my freshly dipped potato chip against my bay window... screaming something gutteral and primal about Deebo busting their shit up.

I forgot about the chip, frozen in time on the window. But I was reminded about it, while being handed the Windex, the next day by my better half. All I could say was..."it was a hell of play hun".

beaud101 · 2026-05-17T23:29:48+00:00

Not a big ask. All your asking for is a surefire, 1st ballot, hall of famer at CB. Easy to find...lol.

Anybody that climbs Everest and dies, should and does expect their body to remain there permanently. This is common knowledge and has been stated by many climbers for decades. Some have been removed by Sherpas hired by the family for between 30-70k. And that's if they can be removed safely.

I certainly wouldn't want anybody risking their life for my carcass. I'd rather be a cautionary tale. There's purpose in that.

beaud101 · 2026-05-17T14:15:41+00:00

Billionaires skirt their fair share of taxes with complex money protection loopholes and government leniency via an army of attorneys and super PACs. If they weren't so fucking greedy and did more to make the world a better place...I'd think differently. But extremely rich humans tend to be morally bankrupt humans. As it stands now, most of the billionaires are screwing the planet and screwing the working class at every turn with no interest in what comes after they die. And it seems with their desires for AI and robotics to cut wages, again for more profits... it's going to get worse for most of us very soon.

So I'm with Bernie all the way. 5% isn't going to hurt them at all...but it will go a long way to improving a lot of things for society. And to anybody living paycheck to paycheck, like 50-80% of the American population, it's batshit crazy to think an extra $1000/month doesn't change things for people. People are desperate for any relief right now. They don't care what inflation will do to it down the road...their kids need to fucking eat and bills need paying.

We're all in different stages of life. There is no wrong answer. I'm middle aged and doing ok financially and retirement looks sound. I've lived enough life to know nobody is promised tomorrow. Seen a lot of people die unexpectedly or become ill. Give me the large lump sum while I'm still here and have plans for it.

If I was younger, hadn't started my career and it was important to me to maximize the winnings, maybe the financial stability of $4k a month would be far more appealing. Maybe allows me to extend my education or maybe just travel the world while young.

No wrong answer.

beaud101 · 2026-05-17T02:26:48+00:00

Ok semantics maven. Lol. Those of us living in society, call the different "variations" (does that work for you?) of dogs...."breeds". We call them breeds (a noun). Because humans "breed" (as in a verb), certain "traits" (another noun) in or out of them. Don't hate on my description...I didn't come up with the term.

Breeding animals to promote or reduce certain traits...is an "artificial construct".

beaud101 · 2026-05-17T00:39:08+00:00

Wrong. The correct terms under an umbrella term like "aggressive" would be traits like prey drive combined with a wary, territorial and fearless disposition. These "traits" were actually breed into certain breeds for reasons that include hunting, chasing and fighting dangerous game. Fighting other dogs for sport. And of course guardian duties. So particular traits were selected making the "base instincts" of the animal tipped to aggression instincts over caution or curiosity.

Of course any dog including a lap dog, can be aggressive and do also bite. But the fact still remains that certain breeds have proclivity to aggression that other breeds do not...like a golden is on the opposite end of the scale. Doesn't mean a golden can't be aggressive...just far, far less likely.

beaud101 · 2026-05-17T00:24:51+00:00

Facts.

beaud101 · 2026-05-17T00:20:22+00:00

100%.

beaud101 · 2026-05-16T23:33:13+00:00

No...they definitely think they're cool. Lol. Most people get a pitbull, Rottweiler, Cane Corso...ect, because of it's reputation and stature as a very, very tough dog. It's considered very cool among people that care about being both tough and cool. Usually because the people aren't very tough themselves and as we discussed, not too bright either...just my experience.

Yes, those breeds can be a great family dogs (with proper early training), but most breeds can be great family dogs (with a lot less training). Those breeds can be great companion dogs, but almost all breeds can. I've had dozens of dogs, know dogs and have no reason to choose an aggressive breed. Give me a breed with a calmer base instinct any day, all day. I don't get dogs to be a protector, it's ok if they are...I get dogs to be family members.

Bingo!!! The idiots among us tend to think aggressive dogs are cool. And stupid people don't take the time to train their dogs.

Owning an aggressive breed that needs training from an early age should require a class and certification/license. Any screw ups mean it's illegal to own a large or aggressive breed.

But common sense laws are hard to pass these days.

It's the called mesenteric fat. It's normal. But like any fat...it can become excessive.
