The real schadenfreude about the vegan mountain thing is going to be when someone steps forward as already having climbed the mountain and been vegan. They just didn't have a sense of victim-hood that made them loving announce it as some incredible thing that needed broadcasting. Hey GUISE I'm going to be the first Lactose-glucose macrobiotic freegan up Mt. Everest!!!11!!!

I look forward to a time when all societal subsets have visited Mount Everest to prove anyone can do it. Can wait until someone spends 50k and endures months of training and weeks of deprivation just so they can leave a Rainbow Dash figurine on top of the Earth. EDIT: or maybe climb the mountain in a fursuit.

I think we can accomplish this with a team of about 4 or so people. We can already assume that a bunch of normal straight white people have achieved the feat so all we need is one person for every [insert your own godawful tumblerized lineup of traits here]. And we'll call them the Everestocrats!

Extra freude here is that is a Hasselblad that's in the air. Outside of some really early ones those things are not cheap. And even if it is there could be at least 1 grand midair. Well, before impact anyways.

Wait is $1k supposed to be a lot for a camera? Aren't lenses alone thousands of dollars? I don't know much about photography but I know that it's not cheap.

JayKay posted:Vegans can do anything! Like die on Mt. Everest! The other thing that grates in this story is the whole "We climbed all these other mountains, therefore we can climb Everest!". If you climbed every single enormous mountain in the world outside the Himalayas, congratulations, you still haven't climbed any of the top 100 peaks in the world. Aconcagua is one of the mountains that they mention, and Aconcagua is legit, at nearly 7km tall. Everest is nearly 2km taller than it. There's a huge increase in the risk that scales with height, and Everest is basically twice as dangerous as anything they've climbed. Even if you ignore the vegan angle, the whole thing to me looks like a major case of overestimating their abilities based on previous achievements.

Yah, a modern Hasselblad (which is digital of course) is tens of thousands of dollars. I don't know the exact dollar amounts, but as far as I know, Hasselblad was always an expensive brand.

They've always been the Rolls Royce of cameras, though- for comparison, their top-of-the line digital camera now is $45,000 for just the body.

I had my first real-world hoverboard sighting, today. It was being piloted by a fat little girl. I was walking home with my groceries, and had her in view for about a block. She didn't seem to have any trouble with it. I think maybe hoverboarding is like learning a language. Start when you're young, and it's a snap. Start when you're old and in decline, and you're going to embarrass yourself on the way to proficiency.

A good conventional film camera body used to run about $1500-$2500. The last Olympus OM1 (full manual) sold for about $3k as I recall. A Hasselblad body is way more and the lenses are even more expensive. When you're a photographer, you protect the lens with your body and your life. The trick is to sling it from across shoulder instead of over your neck alone. That way when you fall, the camera hits you on the back instead of on the ground. You'll heal, the lens won't.
