Since it's the offseason, I propose we use the Everest Megathread to give money to Sherpas in need. I did some googling, here is an article from National Geographic published in 2014 that lists five charities that were helping out specifically Sherpas: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/news/2014/4/140424-sherpas-avalanche-help-donations/ Keep in mind that the world has mostly stopped thinking about that particular disaster, but that it takes decades for the impoverished communities in countries like Nepal to rebuild and recover from disasters. Some more: Mitrata-Nepal Foundation for Children https://www.mitrata.org/ Sherpa Future Fund https://www.adventureconsultants.com/specialty-services/sherpa-future-fund/ Apa Sherpa Foundation https://www.apasherpafoundation.org/ Sherpa Foundation https://www.sherpafoundation.org/ Sherpa Family Fund https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/sherpa-family-fund/ US Sherpa Foundation https://www.ussherpa.com/us-sherpa-foundation.html Alex Lowe Charitable Foundation https://www.alexlowe.org/ Save the Children Nepal https://www.savethechildren.org/us/where-we-work/nepal If you prefer a larger organization, consider UNICEF, CARE, doctors without borders, etc. Donations to these orgs are usually not earmarkable for a particular country unless there's been a recent disaster they're specifically targeting with a limited campaign, but you can often see stuff about what they're doing in Nepal. For example, CARE Nepal: https://www.carenepal.org/ I'm particularly interested in Apa Sherpa Foundation. https://kutv.com/news/local/legendary-everest-climber-partners-with-google-for-charity quote:At just 12 years-old, Apa's father died. He says he was forced to become a porter and later a guide on Mt. Everest, in order to help provide for his family. {}"Sherpa die every year, because they take a risk, because they have no choice, they have no education," he said. The money is directly disbursed by Apa Sherpa, which... well, not much oversight I guess, but it's also not a lot of money being handled.  I submit to you that this thread is not, actually, appalling but is actually, in fact, cool and good, and I'm putting my money where my mouth is. I challenge the rest of you to do the same.

So did the earthquake make Everest a little taller or is it better measurement or what?

Probably better measurement. The earthquake took down some big chunks of rock, but nothing right at the top, unfortunately. We were all hoping for Everest to get demoted

vortmax posted:So did the earthquake make Everest a little taller or is it better measurement or what? Since the Indian subcontinent is pushing north into Asia, Everest and the rest of the Himalaya are growing by about 5 centimeters a year, the same process that created the range in the first place is keeping them growing. But yes mostly more accurate measurement.

But yes mostly more accurate measurement. Is it ice or rock at the top? Coz if it's the latter should you take accelerated weathering by douchebag laden crampons into account? Oracle posted:Further investigation found the modern bales give them a well-rounded diet. I drop that round vs cube hay bale joke every single time I'm on a road trip, to the point people literally scream at me to shut the gently caress up if I say "You see that hay bale...?". And I've never thought to try and follow up the original punchline with a secondary pun. Anyway, you'll never know it but thank you for making a bunch of strangers so irrationally angry I may actually be physically beaten. Outrail fucked around with this message at 04:51 on Dec 9, 2020 |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G0fNkk4g0A Have a very well shot film about a team of selfish idiots who don't disclose the real reason they're on Everest to their Sherpa team until midway into their expedition and subsequently put them in a very awkward position, and put themselves in more danger than necessary.
