I've read that cave-diving is one of the most dangerous "sports" there is.
I think about 10 people die per year on average, and when you compare that to the number of such dives, it's a very high ratio.

At least they aren't taking tanks off to squeeze through a gap. That type of dive is a quest for suicide.
The image above, though, looks like it has lots of openings and space, so not nearly as dangerous. Even has natural lighting from above. It's like semi-cave diving.

Water is definitely my big baddy. I can swim fine and close to shore is okay. Boats, mostly okay. Get to indeterminate depth without a lot of structure underneath... nope.

There was a big reef in the area I used to teach. It was about 30 feet wide at the widest spot and the top was only a couple feet below the surface.
There was a circular shaped space in the middle of one part of the reef that could accommodate 3 people max and it was open all the way to the surface. At around sunset the light would hit the reef at just the right angle to light up the coral and bazillion little eyes of the reef shrimp and other critters that lived in the reef. We called it The Cathedral.
Only way in was a space along the bottom of the reef that was basically a tunnel that was less than 10 feet long to the room but it felt longer. You had to basically crawl along the bottom and your tank with bump the top of the tunnel the whole way. We didn't take new divers, not a good place to panic.

Not long, he was a TB so sensitive in general. But he knew his job and that clearly helped. He didn’t like being set up, he was very much a “listen, you make me nervous with all these adjustments.

Ha! I loved that game. Treks are a big thing in Utah, people trying to get in touch with their roots. They dress up like their ancestors from the 1800s and LARP on the trails they took by pulling handcarts or walking across the plains. It's a thing. I'm pretty sure they don't have to use buffalo chips as fuel, though, and get to use flush toilets at the end of it.

It would be hosted by Gal Gadot, because if we are honest, all men would watch a week-long marathon of paint drying if she were the host. (One moment, Werner notes down something in his future projects notebook.) Werner feels that Ayn has a solid idea here. I am putting my current project, The Harlem Globetrotters Visit Salem's Lot and Kick Nosferatu Ass While Schooling the Washington Generals aside to tackle this new idea.

I've got Star Trek TOS on in the background on Canada's Sci-Fi channel; it's the one with the sweat disease that makes people go nuts e.g. Sulu sword time [not that type of sword time, pervs!] and the one crewman writing graffiti on the walls in red paint.
Kirk's in the turbolift going to the bridge and sees "sinner repent" written on the lift's doors and onscreen they've got it subtitled in Japanese characters in quotation marks!

"On the social media platform Bluesky, Willamette University history professor Seth Cotlar observed that the official @MyPillowUSA X (formerly Twitter) account tweeted an advertisement for its product with a posted price of $14.88. As the Southern Poverty Law Center explained, the number "1488" is a reference to the "14 words" slogan frequently used by neo-Nazis: "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children." The "88" is a reference to the eighth letter of the alphabet twice, interpreted by neo-Nazis to mean "Heil Hitler.""

Pop sent me into the whistle at the end of the driveway.
It had silted up. Tied a little rope at one ankle and sent me off. I could hear he and his helper. I stopped up the trickle of water and it began to build up. I yelled. I could hear them laughing. Damned near drowned.
So the only thing I can't do is a full size MRI cause it presses on both my arms.

That famous trio was the Three Billy Goats Gruff, and this was a great puzzlement to a young Werner. Was the Gruff part a surname they all shared, or the title of a business venture that they had former, such as an LLC? If the latter, would there be a substantial market demand for the Gruffness they offered? And of what exactly would the Gruffness be constituted? Was it a description of their character and outlook on life? If so, was it a positive in their eyes or an expression of their self-loathing. Had others slapped them with this label as a feature of Billy Goat hatred? Was it, ach, Werner hesitates to say this, an assertion of their "orientation." IFYKWWMAITYD? Perhaps we should pity the troll? This has gone really dark, even for a Kraut.

“The Republican Party has morphed into something incredibly dangerous.” — Ken Burns longs for the return of a Liz Cheney led GOP, slams MAGA:
“Abraham Lincoln is turning over in his grave” — the GOP needs to “leave the MAGA base behind.”
Burns fails to mentions that there is only one party radicalizing assass*ns to take out their opposition political leader, and it’s not the GOP — but of course that doesn’t qualify as "incredibly dangerous” to Burns.
Bottom line — the Cheney/Bush GOP is what's being left behind; and that’s what Burns and the DC establishment they can’t handle.

Talking about K-Mart shutting down, anybody remember Zayre's? It was a K-Mart-type chain back in the 70s.
Posted by: Ordinary American
Yeah, Zayre's changed its name to Ames. Then died.

Zayre's was the type of wonderful low-tier department store that had those .05$ nickel rides out front, and popcorn machines next to the cigarette vending machines.
Truly a wonderful time in a great country.

These are same gaslighting bullshitters who pretended to "miss the days of Reagan" when Shithead Bush was campaigning.
In fact, some of the "Never Bushers" loved to report to the Fake News they were going to "write-in" George H.W. Bush in 2004.

Gen. S.D.Lee said the yankees would write the history of the war and he was right. It's still happening too.

Shelby Foote kind of contradicts that. His Civil War documentation is better than Burns,
Posted by: Sebastian Melmoth at September 23, 2024 09:38 PM (D6PGr)
Foote is good, as well as my favorite Douglas Southall Freeman, who wrote Lee's Lieutenants.

Separated after that 1st hitch, he went home to S.C., earned his GED, and re-enlisted, securing entry to Submarine School. He served aboard WWII era Fleet (diesel electric) boats, their "Guppy" follow-ons, 1st generation Fast Attack nukes..(Scamp, Snook..others), and after a heart attack, was set ashore having been Gold Crew aboard the John Qunicy Adams, the 2nd in class Polaris boat, right after the George Washington. Yep, full graduate of the Rickover School in Idaho Falls, ID.
After retirement, he started at a TINY Orlando FL start up. Orlando Laser Systems. Bought by Litton, and became Litton Laser Systems. From whence he retired (again) after sixteen years, rising to Senior Prototype Test Engineer.
Not too shabby for a dropout sharecropper from a (still, utterly and completely rural) South Carolina town. Starr, S.C. Entering and Leaving sign are on the same pole, still.

I'm pretty sure K-Mart's owners own BJ's Wholesale, which is semi-national. Regional, I guess.
BJ's is like low-tier version of Costco, or a big, giant Target in Costco's aisle style.

Klaus Kinski and I were watching this. I turned to him and asked, Klaus, what think you of this? He regarded me solemnly and responded It is much gay, Werner, so very gay. Nodding in agreement (when Klaus is right, he is right), I asked what then must we do? Solemnly once more, Klaus advised that we must find him and beat his fey ass. So much beating shall be necessary, said he, and I hope that we have the strength to do it.
We set forth on our quest to bring the justice to Ken Burns. It was not as hard as I expected. He was at a Quiznos profaning it by his presence. You know what time it is, Ken, I told him. He nodded, sadly. The thrashing that ensued brought great cheers and applause and Klaus and I were given the keys to the city. Good times.

His "Civil War" was a modern day Pinnacle of reporting/documenting the most painful years the Republic has ever seen.
But now, in the twilight of his life, he chooses (or was pushed cuz democraps are desperate) to make some ad hominem logical fallacy about Trump.
Very Sad indeed.

Are there any local hardware stores left?
I live in a "town," and my local hardware store has hooked up with "Do it Best," a co-op chain.
What the heck is a co-op chain? I dunno, but they probably had to do that to survive against Home Depot.
Other "local" hardware stores have joined up with the "True Value" or "Ace" franchises, for the same reason.
Posted by: Soothsayer: at September 23, 2024 09:56 PM (LCEO8)
I'll call bullshit on that. There was never any program, ever recorded, where one could volunteer for ANY position in country in return for a shorter term. Not Tunnel Rats. Nobody.
And no office of any grade, close enough to the line to actually see a "Door Gunner", ever had the stroke to take time of enlistment.
Your boss was a bullshitter.

Jim, I didn't know your dad was from Starr. I know exactly where that is, even been through there a time or two. It's not that far from where I live now and even closer to my mother's home town.

At least there's beer here. And the hotel (Ritz-Carlton) has decent food. Last night I sat in the lobby reading and listening to classical piano live. Good times.

Try ice diving without a tether or safety line back to the entrance hole...only one fatality that day.
They managed to locate his buddy just as he ran out of air and they chainsawed an exit hole while he breathed from an octopus buddy regulator that had an airline long enough to reach him through a crack in the ice.
