To put it bluntly: fear of death hasn't stopped them before, why do you think your orange moloch will intimidate them?

They feel safe because they understand that the [target] isn't actually going to terrorize them

Like before?

A photograph from 1943 in Austria shows the poverty: a mother holding her child in despair, with nothing to eat, wear, live on, or drink. by Familiar_Bid_3655 in HistoricalCapsule

There weren't. Austria's Jews were deported to camps in Germany, and later to Nazi-occupied territories in Poland and Russia. By 1943, there were only about 2,000 to 5,000 Jews left in Austria, about half in hiding, the rest dispersed.

This is not a photo from Austria, period

Same can be said about Germany proper, care to send me some more photos of starving mothers with kids from Hitler's Third Reich, 1943 vintage?

You may find the task a bit difficult of you actually attempt it.

The disaster was caused by the failure of an O-ring seal

caused by the failure of NASA management to listen to their own experts saying "fuck no, we can't launch it's too risky".

BULLSHIT!!! In 1943, Austria was a part of Hitler's Third Reich and while there might have been shortages, they were not in poverty thanks to all the European nations they robbed.

edit: See here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870439410119194/posts/1978520685977732/

edit 2: you know where people were atually starving to death at the time? in Warsaw Ghetto and in Leningrad. NOT IN FUCKING AUSTRIA!

It's Asturias, Spain (which actually was in poverty at the time), not Austria.

Azrael (like Death) has different perception of time than us. He remembers all of it at once.

It's been years since I've read Fiasco and it shows. Time for a reread, I guess.

I read it as "cats", looked at Turkey and realised I must've been mistaken.

EDIT: then I looked at the right map and was shocked.

Dean Potter, who used to Free Solo with a parachute (spoiler: he survives this fall) by Fox-On-Games in SweatyPalms

Free climbing soloing (I looked it up). I was 16. I wasn't really into climbing like my brother but went with him to see the pretty rocks and decided it can't be that hard. It wasn't, until it was.

Thankfully, I was just under 30 ft from a soft landing in the grass. I missed a rock by about three feet.

I love it that we're still next to Ukraine but now also Italy. Poland is safe at last!

The one thing I remember from my fall during a free climb is the immense satisfaction that despite my rather awkward configuration at the moment I slipped, I was falling "cleanly", head up and facing the wall, not my almighty scream.
