6·24 hours agoDriving east from Thunder Bay, once you hit Wawa, ON and head south you’re right on the shoreline for a bit, and it’s fucking amazing.
First time I drove that I just wanted to pull over and take some pics but there’s nowhere to stop.
1·1 day agoNo. You simply chose to misunderstand what was originally posted.
It’s funny how I can understand how capitalism has warped our understanding of work, where putting my life, my mental health and/or the lives of others on the line is accepted practice?
Not at all. It just takes some reading and understanding of history.
No. It’s saying that the person who stayed behind to do their job (like a hero would do) should have just walked out the door … because if there had been any plane crashes (that killed passengers) that person would have been blamed for them.
I thought Trump et al. were supposed to drain the swamp.
When there are only two shitty options to choose from, picking the least shitty option doesn’t mean they were the ‘good’ one.
The inference from the article I posted is that the piton had been placed there by a climber some time ago. It was not placed by this crew.
Pre-Bezos it was, but the darkness is taking over now.
I think we forget that the peace/love hippie generation is the same one that’s been leading America for the last 30 years.
The original article stated the piton looked old.
“It looked old and weathered, and the rest of their equipment looked newer, so we are making the assumption that it was an old piton,” Woodworth said.

The healthcare-fraud unit of the Justice Department’s criminal division is overseeing the investigation, the people said, and it has been an active probe since at least last summer.
While the exact nature of the potential criminal allegations against UnitedHealth is unclear, the people said the federal investigation is focusing on the company’s Medicare Advantage business practices.
UnitedHealth didn’t respond to written questions Wednesday. A DOJ spokesman declined to comment.
The probe adds to a list of government inquiries into the company, including investigations of potential antitrust violations and a civil investigation of its Medicare billing practices, including at its doctors offices.
“Frankly, I’ve never seen anything like this that served as a lead Democrat on this committee. Even when, madam secretary, my Republican colleagues and I had strong disagreements, we still have productive conversations and did our duty keep America safe. But that’s not the case any longer,” Thompson told Noem, adding that he is glad that Noem “found time among your many photo ops and costume changes to testify.”
Lmao
It’s deserved.
They were descending because of an incoming storm, and the rescuers found an old piton attached to their rope.
It’s in the article.
