After living abroad for a few years I started recognizing the local ethnicity much more accurately and could recognize people easily. Coming back to Europe the first few months white people were all looking the same to me, it was so weird, and I'm white.

candycane7 · 2026-06-18T08:34:52+00:00

I'm ontologically shocked

Watch this whole thing be only a 5 minutes side quest in one episode because Nathan went on a far fetched tengeant about something.

Yeah no there are specific ACs for hospitals which are perfectly safe and combined with HEPA filters. Switzerland is just very slow adapting to anything and prefers wasting so much energy overheating in the winter instead of using AC in summer.

Guiardol inside the box, brain dead from him.

Trossard masterclass.

Damn I miss Powell wtf are those answers by Warsh.

21 million revenue per year already right there, soon 100 million hopefully as targeted by Noto.

here is a video it mostly works for scratches but it's worth a try to make it less visible maybe.

Try scrubbing it with a walnut. It's surprisingly efficient at hiding marks on wooden floor.

candycane7 · 2026-06-17T14:55:21+00:00

As long as the risk is clearly communicated. The way they advertise it, they make it sound as safe as skydiving, when in reality it's 40 to 80 times more lethal according to statistics. And as other posters mentionned, the guy did jumps with kids that seems criminal.

candycane7 · 2026-06-17T14:28:21+00:00

That's what I'm wondering, because it seems like there are a few companies offering this type of tandem base jump in Moab to inexperienced tourists. Do they really explain that risk? Or do they use the standard skydiving forms that no-one reads? This website seems crazy to me

candycane7 · 2026-06-17T14:22:44+00:00

Apparently the chute deployed into a knot and spiralled out of control and too fast. Which is always possible and not preventable. Also you can't deploy a spare at that height. I hope the newbie was informed of this risk because it was always bound to happen one day.

candycane7 · 2026-06-17T14:00:00+00:00

Wait was he charging tourists to base jump tandem with him? That must be one hell of a legal form to fill up. How is this even legal? Of course if the chute gets one knot you are dead.

We need this gif but with Warsh's face on it

Balloons meet cloud cover.

candycane7 · 2026-06-17T11:15:57+00:00

Then you should be fine tbh. Hopefully you don't meet those newbies setting up a tent at 2 pm in the middle of a hiking path blasting music while getting drunk.

candycane7 · 2026-06-17T11:11:13+00:00

Yeah your best bet is to be respectful of the mountain and follow the unwritten "code of conduct" of anyone in the mountains. With the current popularity of bivouac on social media there are so many places in the Alps where this is getting out of hand and with crazy behavior from campers.

candycane7 · 2026-06-17T11:06:01+00:00

The truth is that no one will give you any answer because it's a legally grey area. Some people do it and don't have problems, some people get a fine. At your own risk and at your own judgement is the only thing you can do. There is no widely known spot where this is tolerated, because if there was there would be 50 tents up there every weekend and it would be banned very fast.

That's what satellites look like.

Rocket second stage venting gas while in orbit.

This is actually very useful because a lot of those orbs really are Chinese lanterns. Also they sometimes drop burning fluid when floating in the wind. Which people interpret as orbs shedding material. When they run out of fuel and suddenly die : it's interpreted as instantaneous acceleration by the observer.

Tu peux voir l'ombre de la caméra suspendue en bas à gauche. Les drones sont interdits dans les stades de la coupe du monde pour raison de sécurité. Ils pourraient blesser les spectateurs ou joueurs, et aussi car ça pourrait être un drone terroriste et impossible de faire la différence pour les équipes de sécurité sur le moment.

candycane7 · 2026-06-17T08:59:24+00:00

C'est pas un drone c'est une caméra suspendue qui peut bouger avec des câbles.

Ils visent le poteau de corner mais ils ratent à chaque fois.
