I was hiking Crypt Lake Trail a couple of years ago. Didn’t have any problems on the way up but on the way down there was a juvenile grizzly bear on the trail in front of me and my brother. We paused on the trail for a bit, looking for a possible mother to be around and I was gripping my bear spray, but the bear eventually moved on.

When approaching the boat dock where the ferry picks up hikers, we heard a lot of yelling “Go away”! “Get back”. Didn’t heed the warning, but they weren’t yelling at us, they were yelling at a very large grizzly bear in the trees close to a group of about 15 people who had finished the hike. The bear had been probably 15 meters from me at the closest. But thankfully with all the people around it too just moved on. Bear attacks are pretty rare, but you still don’t want to win that lottery ticket.

The hike itself was already pretty thrilling. Some edge walking, a tunnel and a climb with some metal chain attached to the cliff side to help out before getting to a mountain top glacial lake. It was an exhausting experience.

Oh lookit that. Hades 3 coming out in February. (I would love it if that were true)

Sounds like the sort of thing you could write a book about your journey kinda like an A J Jacobs book. He writes books about his journey following rules to the letter for a while. This could be similar to his book where he thanks every person responsible for his morning coffee.

Oh man, I used to live in a very windy area and the bathroom exhaust vent cover would constantly be clanking. I forgot about that little bit of hell from living there.

Oh no, not all that marketing stuff that tries to stop you from going checking out the competition. How could they do that… /s

That’s one of those words I am afraid of attempting to say out loud because the word on my head won’t sound like the word that will come out of my mouth.

For reference: Hyperbole and a half

It is nice for seeing which way the rotation is happening.

The foot on the accelerator after the crash doesn’t make sense. He would have been thrown around like crazy. I think this points to sensor malfunction or something like that.

AI has evolved to the point where the first task is to manage the emotions of the human. And then hallucinate a proper sounding response.

Oldsmobile stood out too much.

I was going to add the “hitting oxygen” is an important part of the blue blood myth back then.

Or maybe they’ll go back to selling shoes.

I love reading about the assassination of Lord British right at the end of the beta before a player wipe was about to happen.

I think they tried to warn you with their username.

They also wait until they get off the rollercoaster and back on solid ground before yelling yay!

So it’s a recoloured 2024 phone from China with a slightly larger battery from the Philippines that can’t charge as fast.
