H.P. Hovercraft posted:less than 10% of visitors ever go below the canyon's rim I know some neurosurgeons who do an annual grand canyon rim to rim hike (south to north). the park's firm suggestion is that day hikes to the bottom and back are Not Something One Should Attempt so they have to dodge rangers throughout and generally keep it on the DL. one year some of the hardier and less sane guys did rim-to-rim-to-rim hike. no one died but by mutual agreement they haven't repeated it since.

because everything and everyone involved w/ the grand canyon is bananas we learned in geology that it wasn’t even researched for a good while after discovery due to how inhospitable the area is/was

because it's the high desert and it's real easy to get yourself killed of heat or dehydration if you aren't adequately prepared. saving tourists from themselves is a year-round job in AZ. they show up at the rim of the canyon and it's nice and cool (8500 feet) and you can see the bottom right there! (only a mile away vertically) so they take their single nalgene bottle and a sun hat and start hiking, and it's easy going at first but every foot they descend it gets hotter and hotter, and they've walked five miles in 100 degrees but the river doesn't seem any closer, so as it starts to feel like a furnace they turn around but because they're not drinking enough they get cramps and muscle spasms, and it's a lot harder to hike back up than it was coming down, so they sit down for a rest, and they aren't quite sure which way the trail goes, and then two months their dessicated skeleton is discovered when it slides off a cliff and lands on a whitewater rafting trip.

when you apply for a backcountry permit in AZ they show you this movie about two morons, to try and explain why you have to take this stuff seriously basically the two guys set out for a hike and did everything wrong (took barely any water, wrong shoes and clothes, no maps, didn't tell anyone where they were going or when to expect them back) and got lost in a canyon. 110 degrees, ran out of water, overheating and hiking for miles, and eventually one guy's legs gave out from salt imbalance. other guy kept moving and found a whitewater rafting trip a few miles away but they couldn't come back upriver to save the first guy. the rafting trip had a radio and got in touch with the SAR people, and they sent in a rescue helicopter, which couldn't land in the area where the guy was trapped due to overhanging trees. they tried to lower two pararescue guys on ropes, but the ropes got caught in the trees, broke, and dropped the two of them thirty feet to the canyon floor. both were injured and one broke both his legs. they were still a good half mile from the guy they were trying to rescue, and the temperature was increasing in the canyon to over 120 degrees, so the PR with working legs dragged the other one into a shaded cave and they sat there transfusing saline into themselves to try and stay alive while they waited for rescue eventually a second helicopter was sent, this one carrying wilderness firefighters. they descended on ropes from the helicopter and, while hanging in midair, used chainsaws to cut the trees from the canyon walls. this helicopter was then able to land, save the pararescue guys, and collect the original lost guy from further up the canyon. this whole rescue fiasco cost the state several hundred thousand dollars, so they sued the pair of dudes to recover some of the cost. the judge did not end up levying any fees, but ordered the morons to make a film about their story, which is the film you now watch when you apply for the permit. i've only seen it that once and i wish i could find a copy of it. i've looked for years but never can

Louis CK’s statement in full: I want to address the stories told to the New York Times by five women named Abby, Rebecca, Dana, Julia who felt able to name themselves and one who did not. These stories are true. At the time, I said to myself that what I did was okay because I never showed a woman my dick without asking first, which is also true. But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your dick isn’t a question. It’s a predicament for them. The power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly. I have been remorseful of my actions. And I’ve tried to learn from them. And run from them. Now I’m aware of the extent of the impact of my actions. I learned yesterday the extent to which I left these women who admired me feeling badly about themselves and cautious around other men who would never have put them in that position. I also took advantage of the fact that I was widely admired in my and their community, which disabled them from sharing their story and brought hardship to them when they tried because people who look up to me didn’t want to hear it. I didn’t think that I was doing any of that because my position allowed me not to think about it. There is nothing about this that I forgive myself for. And I have to reconcile it with who I am. Which is nothing compared to the task I left them with. I wish I had reacted to their admiration of me by being a good example to them as a man and given them some guidance as a comedian, including because I admired their work. The hardest regret to live with is what you’ve done to hurt someone else. And I can hardly wrap my head around the scope of hurt I brought on them. I’d be remiss to exclude the hurt that I’ve brought on people who I work with and have worked with who’s professional and personal lives have been impacted by all of this, including projects currently in production: the cast and crew of Better Things, Baskets, The Cops, One Mississippi, and I Love You Daddy. I deeply regret that this has brought negative attention to my manager Dave Becky who only tried to mediate a situation that I caused. I’ve brought anguish and hardship to the people at FX who have given me so much The Orchard who took a chance on my movie and every other entity that has bet on me through the years. I’ve brought pain to my family, my friends, my children and their mother. I have spent my long and lucky career talking and saying anything I want. I will now step back and take a long time to listen. Thank you for reading. honestly in a way lck is good here because I think he's the kind of person who can turn this around, not for himself, but for society, and highlight issues and be an agent of change. hope so anyway

Sapozhnik posted:pretty hosed up that judges can make you do mod challenges irl i'm kind of a fan of it. there's a judge in ohio who likes to assign weirdly specific penances as community service. e.g. some kid who stole a bicycle was ordered to ride a bicycle in the town's parade in support of a local charity. a woman who bailed on a cab driver over a 30 dollar bill was ordered to walk 30 miles. a different woman who left her dog locked in her car had to pick up garbage at the dump for a day. it's way better idea than jail time or fines for that kind of petty crime imo
