I was in the national forest (very near the fires here) on Labor Day and there were so many people with campfires shooting guns that the hills echoed in gunfire. Its like they feel entitled to do whatever they want because Trump is president.

Depends on the procedure. Orthopedic surgery in the USA is pretty fast to get. Getting an MRI approved when compared to, say Japan, takes forever.

48yo alpinist who climbs 5.12+ here. I’m constantly injured. If you’re not doing regular training for injury prevention it will come back to bite you in your 50’s or 60’s and you will not have the framework to navigate the injury without further fitness loss and a downward spiral of capabilities.

Your product might not benefit from AI but you definitely can get more VC investment dollars if you bolt an LLM onto the side of it and feature AI as central to what you’re offering. This is because VCs treat tech like fashion and don’t actually understand how it works or how it would integrate into our lives.

Had they summited NEWS theres a bolted rappel. The old descent route went the way they were going down. Its possible they tried to rap off ancient webbing and pitons from before the bolts were installed.

They were rappelling in a snowy couloir on a winter scramble route. A piton pulled and the shock load ripped what meager protection they had for an anchor. Its possible they didn’t have rock pro at all.

In Yosemite it is illegal to use power tools so all those bolts were drilled by hand by hitting a masonry drill bit with a hammer and twisting.
