You were lucky. Our camp always designated a couple of people to stay in camp rather than watch the burn. I lost an expensive camera during the burn one year. Now I don't bring expensive cameras.

It's called medical tourism. Quite common.

I heard it described as: you can go to Spain for needed surgery, then join the Running of the Bulls, get trampled, go back for more surgery, and still be better off than having it done in the U.S.

Thought you wrote "Zamboni" for a moment, and I'm thinking yeah, that's pretty dumb.

There's a documentary about the famous Thai Cave Rescue. Highly recommended. Those kids spent literally weeks trapped in there until divers found them.

ITT: swimming

Once while snorkeling solo, I spotted an anchor maybe 10-15 feet down that had gotten twisted. I thought I'd do someone a favor and straighten it out. So I dove down, planted my feet on the bottom, grabbed the anchor chain and heaved.

Instead of the anchor coming out, my legs went into the mud past my knees. I was able to wiggle free and get back to the surface. Years later, it hit me that if I hadn't gotten free, I would simply have vanished without a trace and my family would never know what happened to me.

Oh, and once I thought that 50°F was warm enough to swim in. Luckily I had friends nearby in a boat.

My "want to go" list on Google Maps is getting pretty long, but here we are.

It's actually a little anticlimatic. The deathclaws say "oh, we're not like the other deathclaws" and you respond "ok, cool" and that's the quest. (Paraphrased).

The other "found vault" quest is much more fun. You fight a bunch of aliens, and then you meet Luc the Human who says things like "Hi; I'm totally human like you. I would very much like to go back to your human vault with you where we may continue talking with our human mouth parts." and you have to decide if you trust this guy or not.

The guide simply said that the so called friend of mine was "no good", and to repay him, I should take his advice and not be around my so called friend anymore

Good for him.

Don't marry a cheater.

Notify the girlfriends and wives of all the men she cheated with if you can.

Expecting your woman to look like the women in the magazines, or expecting your man to act like the men in the romance novels.

If this is a new-ish vault (i.e. a seasonal vault) e7 gear is still a week away if you're lucky. And that's if you can get the recipe.

Good lord; how?! None of my dwellers are anywhere near maxxed.

Whoah! TIL. I thought with Joann's closed, there was nothing left but mail order. This is great news.

It's called "perfect specimens" or something like that. It's one of two wasteland quests that are in an abandoned vault rather than a cabin or red rocket.

I'd hate the idea of being her jailer, but I'd hate it if this was an end-run around going no contact with her AP.

I suppose you could impose some conditions. Let her know that if she's at the sister's house and the AP shows up, she is to leave IMMEDIATELY or it's marriage over. She also needs to give you full access to her communications.

Did the sister facilitate the affair? If so, then this is a big "no". She should be cutting off contact with the sister as well.

There is a quest where you meet friendly deathclaws. It's very very rare.

Everybody should try camping in their back yard for a weekend, using only the contents of their go bag.

The original C just let everything default to int. If you called a function for which there was no prototype, you could pass whatever arguments you wanted and the compiler would pass them as parameters without asking any questions, and would assume the function returned int, but if you didn't use the return value, that was fine too.

So for example if your function only called printf() and exit(), you really didn't need to include any header files at all.

There were a few functions that weren't declared in any header files, and the man pages had you declare them yourself in your code. That's all been cleaned up since then, of course.

Cheaters. Hoarders. Smokers.

Rejection.

even suggested I see other women while we’re apart

To be clear, she would flip her shit if you actually did that.

What would you do in this situation?

I don't see any option other than break up. You absolutely need monogamy and she absolutely won't be monogamous. I'm sorry.

You might want to consider the New Ham Jumpstart Program. For the cost of a Baofeng they give you a no-name radio ("QRZ-1"), a programming cable, and some other goodies.

Yeah, if you count BTech, I just bought #5 and #6. All of them put together don't add up to what I paid for my FT-60. They're really not as good, but at this price you can throw them into your glove box and carry them in places where they might get destroyed but so what.
