BaronVonVaderham posted:My rear end he has a modafinil prescription. That poo poo is nigh impossible to get a doctor to prescribe or, worse, an insurance company to approve. I have a condition it's used to treat and can't clear both of those hurdles simultaneously and just gave up and get it from other sources But I live in the very liberal land of California. It is a bit harder to imagine when he lives in the hellhole of Florida, but some doctors there are pretty lovely and lazy, so who knows? He's also got a ton of money so insurance coverage probably doesn't matter to him.

he seems like he kind of streamer who would lie / embellish stuff to get views such as continuing to name his stream 'climbing mt Everest' when hes not on the mountain and not going to climb it however full length videos of the trek are hard so it's interesting to see the region

Dude is gonna live stream passing out and making GBS threads his pants while his Sherpa silently looks on in disapproval. How the hell do you hold onto a poo poo for days? I can barely hold on for a few hours once things have been set in motion.

in my experience after a couple days it stops being an issue until it becomes a medical issue and you're just like 'hm this is weird I should be pooping but I'm not'

Germans refuse to poop in foreign countries because there’s no shelf in the toilet to enable inspection of their logs.

I had an appendectomy two weeks ago and didn't poo poo for three days, but that was also because I had barely eaten for two of those days and the oxy they gave me for pain management. (Also apparently in the US you get oxy prescribed in the tens of mg dosage? I got 4mg pills and they worked just fine lmao, I took 2 once on the first day after surgery because the pain was pretty vad and promptly fell asleep and after that 4mg every 6 hours or so was fine until after like 3 days paracetamol did the trick.)

I just skipped through his latest archived stream again, and he has bought a single toilet roll, as he can't use toilet roll or soap that anyone else has touched, so he's making preparations. "400? That's a good deal" 400 rupees is $4.80/£3.90. I like how tourists are taxed by the natives.  He ended up here, and there's a sign that says the base camp is 12 hours hiking for healthy people. It'll probably take IcePiss a few days

They are a lot...freer...with the fun stuff once you're over 60. Every time Deepak literally tucks him into bed he waits for Deepak to leave the room then jumps out and does stupid poo poo. Do they allow todddlers on the mountain?

How many calories should he be consuming each day at this altitude and doing this hike? How can he possibly think he can hold his movement for so long?

(I have sleep issues+ADHD, unfortunately Modafinil helped but stopped working after a week and never worked again, cool.) Fair. I'm in Florida. I've only found one doctor willing to prescribe it years ago, and when he did insurance said it's not covered until I use up my entire deductible so it was $500 out of pocket for a 30 day supply. My current doctor would if I go for another sleep study, but since the last two I did were inconclusive (I just can't sleep on my back, let alone in a strange place covered in sensors) that's just going to be a waste of time and money. There was evidently a big to-do about it being over-prescribed off-label a while back so now she won't prescribe it without an overabundance of caution to cover her rear end. My doctor up in Michigan was the same way, it's infuriating but I don't blame the doctors; just a side effect of our "war on drugs" policies. Eventually I just ran out of the energy to fight it and found alternative means.

Holy smokes, I've been seeing the post count in this thread rise rapidly, but I thought it was news about summits and whatnot. In the decade or whatever I've been reading Everest threads, I never expected to read a GDT of a stupid streamer

Qtotonibudinibudet posted:i would hazard a guess that he's well into "i make inordinate amounts of entertainer money" territory Judging by Kick's subscription prices and the ratio of what goes to the streamer (which is almost all of it, surprisingly - Twitch takes between 30-50% for comparison), I think he needs to convince about 235 people to either sub or continue their sub each month in order to make the average US minimum monthly wage. That's completely excluding ads, sponsorship deals and people donating to hear him say their name or call him a dumbass too.

I have no idea if its remotely accurate but his wikipedia claimed at one point he was clearing 60k a month in sponsorships, which is fuckin insane. He's literally the first streamer/influencer person I've ever paid even the slightest attention to so I have no idea how believable that is.

I think if my job was having to spend multiple hours a day improvising to a bunch of names on a screen with no audible feedback on if I was being funny or not, I'd probably want to run up the nearest tallest mountain too eventually. I wonder what kind of infrastructure it would take for someone to successfully livestream a summit bid, assuming perfect conditions?

Beastie posted:How many calories should he be consuming each day at this altitude and doing this hike? Metabolic rate is about 25% higher at that altitude so caloric needs will rise appropriately. That, combined with the constant exercise, usually results in a lot of weight loss for trekkers. You can totally do it on reserves, even if you're skinny. You'd need to be actively starving for 2 weeks in the Himalayas to be dangerous because of it. I'm more interested by his lack of shits. Pretty much anything up there is going to gently caress with you, even the pizza.

They found one of the missing climbers alive. A no o2’r. Unfortunately the climber is described as frostbiten and only partially responsive. Below the Hillary step. The team that found him did nit have the ability to bring him down. A team of sherpas headed up to attempt to save him but it’s already been hours since that update

Icepiss is currently suffering from extreme headaches due to altitude sickness, and is currently sleeping it off. I caught a few snippets from earlier, and it appears as though he expected there to be cashpoints on Everest, and might be completely out of cash after tonight. I can't listen to more than a few minutes of him, so there's probably a poo poo load of comedy nuggets in today's VOD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmbo7JmYeLc

gently caress I hope the climber they found makes it ice p is still laying in bed, joel brought him some cheese balls and pringles and deepak came in and gave him a head massage. chat was saying that the sherpa checked his blood oxygen and it’s at 73  e: sherpa asked ice to rate how he feels out of 10 and he said 5, which seems high considering he’s been stuck in bed all day.
