If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

Our county was bragging on FB how it'd finally vaccinated every public school teacher -- while we've been allocated but a tenth of the total doses needed for seniors and other at-risk groups. I commented that was a terrible prioritization, as the virus poses virtually no risk to children and teache...

Anybody with a passing interest in military history really should do themselves the favour of watching this video series. Isandlwana. Esp parts 3a,b,c. Very very good once you get over the elements of cos play. Maps, satellite photography, drone footage and attention to tactical detail. https://yout...

Gun culture in Pakistan.

Not a smile in sight. Welcome to our future overlords.

Heh...don't shoot the messenger! ://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WevejFffgj8 Thanks Bhurz, but that was terrible. Could an ice slip have done it? Conceptually yes.

Anyone know of an application that supports animation, timelines and is designed for animating map overlays?

But cheers. Back to the ‘Matt and Dog conspiracy thread’. I’ll check out your earlier response too.

Well that was disappointing. 🙄

They were amateurs who put themselves in a position where their only Plan B, were a mishap to occur, was to wander around the subfreezing dark in their socks. In their prior expeditions (e.g., a luckily non-fatal snake bite) I detect a bad-decision/good-outcome false sense of competency, while on t...

Durnfords position is shown slightly right and forward of where it was - in the riverbed just below the current road crossing.

Auto complete. “A row” of companies.

WHO (wang wong) has finished its investigation into their Chinese mates.

Amazingly they believe there was no bat to person transfer of COVID.

This can only strengthen the American origin theory.

It’s probably Trumps fault. He should be impeached. For a third time.

I recall watching the Christchurch shooter in action. From memory he fucked up his magazine changes and was nearly taken down during one such fumble.

Some info on the libelled tent.

Maybe it was a very little ice slip.

Like an ice cube.

At its simplest, American gun culture is just the normalisation of weapons (and their possession) by the ‘every-man’.

My known knowns. Something really weird spooked them. Slobodin hurt himself in the way down. Lay down and died. Dyatlov went back up to find him and froze. Zinaida then kitted up, found Dyatlov dead - went up to find the tent and froze. The balance tried and failed to keep warm in the forest. We wil...

But in the States, apparently there’s one next to every coffee maker in every house and that’s just peachy. Who stages next to their coffee maker? So no wonder the tendency of many Americans to go full-on berko, quickly escalates to fire-fights in the streets. Quantify 'tendency'. Bear in mind: 330...

The scientific investigation came with an added benefit from Puzrin’s wife, who is Russian. “When I told her that I was working on the Dyatlov mystery, for the first time she looked at me with real respect,” he says.

Gun culture in the USA.

This won’t last long on Twitter. Very Christchurch-esque

Feeling very 1936 here.

Wheat, Corn, Rice & Oats make up over half of what the world eats. Is this a problem? Is it healthy? Is it sustainable? When they're processed no. Given the global epidemic of prediabetes and diabetes, no, not healthy. The only way they can be marginally healthy is by eating them in whole form or w...

Wow.

Way to marginalise 17.9% of the human population.

I’d expect the punchline to this joke will arrive shortly.

Haven’t seen my son in 14 months due to COVID.

2021 isn’t shaping up as a likely window either. 🤷‍♂️
