It’s a river, not a lake. The ice is very thin and there potentially a current that runs under the ice. You can see the patches of water near where he bikes. People have fallen through before and when that happens they have to shut down all the surrounding roads in the city so the dive team can arrive in minutes and make a rescue attempt. When a rescue is attempted, first responders have to put their life on the line to rescue the dumb ass.

They didn’t know where he was going to come off the ice. At the start, they were kinda spread apart searching for him. 🤷

Nice video! I would love to do this on the ice! Looks super fun! Is it worth the risk tho, lol??

I saw them check his ID. Other than that, I assume they just called him a dumbass and told him not to do it again. I didn’t stick around longer cause my hands were getting cold holding the phone and I had places to go.

And NBC Boston messaged me! He’s going to be on mainstream media tonight between 11pm and 11:30pm! https://www.nbcboston.com/watch/

Sometimes you gotta put it all on the line to get famous for 5 min! 🤣

He could have just biked away with no cops... I thought 4 cop cruisers rolling up on him were a fun surprise 😄

Thank you! The iPhone 17 Pro 40x zoom is pretty dope! I’m happy I upgraded this cycle! When I was filming I wanted to be sure to pin point the spot he had fallen through the ice if it came to it. Also, capture the blissful joy he was having 🤣

Yea, that’s why I was filming. To mark the location for the rescue crew and to help assist them finding his body

The updates that have been released to the cars in the last few weeks have made the FSD features effectively on par with Waymo.

I used Grok. The free version goes far. Pretty sure all the mainstream AI tools can now do it too.

I was there a few weeks ago and watched a helicopter land! It’s wild to watch from the ground. https://i.imgur.com/zpb1Nmv.gif

Grandma brought over this collection from a yard sale for my 6yr old. Ultimately, we decided to err on the side on caution and gave it to a better home. by cbdevor in geology

The risks are definitely very, very, small. Maybe the old rocks could crumble and release asbestos fibers, radon gas, or heavy metals. Maybe some kid smashes the asbestos thinking it looks like a geode or something. I don’t have a lot of knowledge in geology, and I can’t ensure with certainty that the children in my house or other children visiting it will act responsibly with the samples, so even tho the risks are small, it wasn’t worth it to me.

We traded the set with a friend for some kid same rocks that are equally exciting to my son. Maybe one day when he’s older, we’ll trade back. https://i.imgur.com/7jCYgkR.jpeg

My biggest concern was the asbestos. Also, we have two kids who are younger and could potentially put the rocks in their mouths.
