Where are these places where people do things like this?

I guess this can be described as a natural-course roller-coaster. Maybe this follows the lines of the actual old mine tracks.

Another, longer clip of a roller coaster along a rocky course.

Bathing Bear-ty. You know, sometimes I just give up on these links and just write what-the-f***-ever. I'm not proud, I'm just slingin' links and looking forward to checking out.

Maybe you can beat the train. Maybe-- no you definitely can't. (No deaths or injuries. Won't make any promises about property damage or economic setbacks.)

Rome.

Sick ride, broh.

This former boxer is now a cakemaster and makes amazing wedding cakes. Be sure to page through to at least the second cake -- it's lighted. The remaining ones are okay. He makes Baba Yaga's Walking House for some reason. Between you and me, I think that marriage is doomed.

I linked this a long, long time ago: diver's chute and cords wrap around him like a funeral shroud, even covering over the safety chute, blocking that from deployment.

Researchers believe they have found the earliest evidence of horseback riding, by the ancient Yamnaya people in Europe some 5,000 years ago. Their conclusions, based on an analysis of human skeletal remains found in Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania, were published on Friday in the journal Science Advances.

20 Ugh, Piper, my sympathy. I don't know when I'll feel like I can fly again. Maybe in a few years when they have a new generation of pilots, so they don't have to cancel half the flights.

In the meantime, I'm still afraid I'll book something, and then they'll require COVID vax again before boarding or some such.

131 The dual mandate is not possible since the aim to keep inflation minimum is not compatible with encouraging economic growth while the only tool they have to keep the economy expanding is creating business cycles by printing money.
In the end we will have run-away inflation and the collapse of the business cycle when the currency is inflated beyond what anyone will accept.

The history of hyperinflation is usually to revalue the currency or establish a new one, and then because that just changes the number of zeroes required to buy a loaf of bread and does not address the issues that caused the problem, hyperinflation goes into overdrive again.
Brazil has been doing this for near on fifty years.

The only way off is to adopt a hard currency that the central bank or government can inflate at will.
It also requires the end of fractional reserve in banking to make sure the banks can't inflate by loaning out on the gold in reserve more than once.
This means the end of a lot of the fancy financing we have now, but it also eliminates most of the business cycles and the defaults caused by manipulation of the currency and inflation.

165 NaCly, doing pretty well.

In the short term, the Biden Energy Debacle is good for people with existing oil and gas production - including Putin, Iran, and Saudi Arabia.

In the longer term, WEF level idiots may drive all of the hydrocarbon production AND revenues out of the Western world and to evil regimes.

I can't tell if they are stupid and that is an unintended consequence, or if they are evil and trying to empower those regimes.

It is probably most likely that it is possible to grift money off of corrupt regimes whereas you can't grift off of honest companies/people.
