Sagebrush posted:despite the rescue efforts that guy died inside the cave btw and they couldn't even get his body out. they just sealed it up. I was kinda into the idea of camping in caves until I heard a series of stories like (and including) this one and I completely soured on the idea. Last summer, my buddy's bachelor party was an overnight in Cumberland Caverns and it was actually pretty fun! There were some tight squeezes and long muddy crawls on the excursions we took, but my fat rear end was able to wriggle through. I think the chief thing is that cave exploring is fundamentally different from touring a show cave.

Deformed Church posted:The problem with lift companies is that the construction element is pretty good but every maintenance, after sales or admin person I've dealt with at them was terrible and the name "Schindler" will provoke a reaction in my mind far faster than I'll think to say "oh cool, construction or maintenance?". Hrm, all the reviews I've seen for Schindler's lift have been pretty favorable.

I used to play in caves and lava tubes when we went to the country when I was a kid. I was in a lava tube a few years ago and was amazed that I never killed myself falling from/getting crushed by rocks.

shame on an IGA posted:Peak cave horror that I've not heard of in a decade of these threads, with the bonus OSHA of amateur dambuilding: No thanks. That’s worse than the one up-thread. Ugh.

Good Lord, Ted the Caver is still up. Who is paying the bills at angelfire.com, these days? It's still one of the best of its genre, despite getting a bit too obvious at the end.

biracial bear for uncut posted:
gently caress CNA forever. They make lovely bargaining agreements that don’t serve their members and stir up trouble just to be annoying shits. The reason the rn’s aren’t allowed to wear just any n95 is because they are not wearing them when performing patient care. The shortfall in supply at the moment means the masks aren’t available when you really need them because some goober is just wearing it walking around. But also gently caress Kaiser their profit seeking bs only serves to undermine everything in this current crisis.

Given the Utah plates, might that not be a family member saying they're grateful a relative is back in Utah earlier than expected... rather than "Hallelujah, here we go, we're gonna see the king..." I mean yes, obviously, the Covid = angel thing is  . Just saying I'm not so sure it's quite as death-culty as appears. (Not quite being the operative in that statement... still pretty death-culty, just not as much).

Just had an hour long nap in a work truck, waiting for some tire work to get done. Woke up groggy with a migraine, vomitted on the way home, spent the next ten hours between bed and vomitting. Think that truck might have an exhaust leak.
