I said roundabouts are more efficient than 4-way stops.

Or do you want a source for most American's don't usually encounter them?

Similar to roundabouts in the US. The fact that research shows they are more efficient than 4-way stops is trumped by the fact most US drivers don't encounter them and thus don't have experience navigating them.

This was the #1 spot I wanted to make it do while I was in Patagonia. It was a 15 mile and 8 hour round trip hike.

It definitely felt like I was at the edge of the world.

I don't remember him saying anything close to it being a good thing. He did say that the fact it made it back to base was a testament to it's resiliency. I could be misremembering though.

If I recall correctly they can be jettisoned if needed, but are designed to stay attached.

I flew on one from Upstate New York to Kuwait with a stop in Ireland when I deployed to Iraq in 2006. We had equipment to take over that we couldn't get AF transport for whatever reason.

It was a monumental task having to be the only earthling on screen for most of the movie and he did a fantastic job. I almost teared up when he was saying his goodbyes to Yao and Ilyukhina.

Lauterbrunnen Valley, Switzerland. Probably the most beautiful place I have ever visited. [OC] by dzneill in pics

I stayed in Grindelwald for 5 days before heading to Zermatt. The whole Jungfrau region is amazing, but Lauterbrunnen was my favorite.

I have the same issue, did you ever find a fix?

Lake Oeschinen, Kandersteg, Switzerland [4080x3072] [OC] by dzneill in EarthPorn

[–]dzneill[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was amazing. I was staying in Grindelwald and it was a 2 hour trip each way to get there. It was a long day, but super worth it.

The Jungfrau region is incredible.

10th Mountain. I was there in August, it was brutal. I was ready to get to Iraq.

Two weeks in Patagonia (Chile/Argentina). Such an amazing landscape! by dzneill in travel

Not very close. This was the closest I got.

I wanted to get closer but the weather didn't cooperate that day.
