maple syrup. It's a thing people up north do to entertain themselves in the winter months so they don't go all cabin-fever crazy and kill each other.

Reverse googling suggest it's a maple syrup popsicle.

Doctors Without Borders is sending rescue teams and supplies to Nepal.

This org has a good reputation and does legit work around the world, with 80% of donations going directly toward humanitarian activities, and 20% to administration. And actually this thread reminded me to update my monthly donation since my credit card number changed last week.

im very sad that it wasnt a larger quake, because all humans need to die. while id prefer the us went first, every step toward human extinction is still wonderful.

I heard on the NPR that there've been several small aftershocks.

Do you think the guys trapped on Everest felt them? Trapped in their little tents, calculating just how long they can live on what food they have, over and over again?

it's more an issue of surviving hypothermia/dehydration

eventually you run out of gas for your stove and you're forced to eat snow til you die, probably

OK, so assuming that not everyone who survived the quake will actually get off the mountain alive, why don't we start a second guessing game? How long will the last person to die on Everest this year live after the quake?

I think I'd stick with my guess of "3 survive earthquake, die escaping mountain," but who the gently caress knows with the possibility for some aftershocks loving things up further.

at the very least, we have natural selection at work. only the True Mountaineers and Sherpas will escape the newer, more rugged, less tourist friendly Everest featuring no wheelchair access through the icefall

quote:

In the entire season, twelve people died trying to reach the summit, making this the deadliest day and the deadliest year on Mount Everest until the sixteen fatalities of the 2014 Mount Everest avalanche. The 1996 disaster gained wide publicity and raised questions about the commercialization of Everest.

So, deadliest day, deadliest season is still up in the air. Almost there!

Is there any chance Everest has been pushed up just high enough to make it the new highest summit and invalidate all previous summits?

The guys who wanted to BASE jump off the summit may have the right idea. Do they make thermal wingsuits?
