   This still happens in my experience, I've picked up keys from friends and Airbnb hosts via a local business in the past few years.

   Are you sure? I've read a lot of this person's stuff over the years. A lot of it is quite earnest and in line with the message of this post.

   >Notice it’s never free climbing the nose in a day, which would require 5-7 years of dedicated training.

   Would take way more than that for the average person. You can count the number of people who have done that as of now on one hand.

   I don't know if you saw the "Kamela is for the/them" ads, but they stoke a much more general fear and hatred of trans people than the issues you are referring to. Those issues are picked because they are most popular amongst a broad swathe of the electorate, but they are couched in a deeper hate and distrust.

    I'd bet a substantial amount that nobody is learning that Everest exists from this article.

    I agree that the current state of Everest is an embarrassment. But that doesn't change the fact that it's the tallest mountain in the world, and the efforts (both successful and failed) to be the first to summit were audacious and inspiring to many people. Stories like the one in the OP should not be suppressed just because decades later the mountain has turned into a pile of shit.

    This looks very cool and could be useful to me. I've been uploading my tracks to caltopo. Could you say a few words about what this offers over that?

    And that's why no murders are ever committed, because the possibility of jail time or capital punishment dissuades anyone who would consider committing murder.

    You're right technically, it's an abuse of notation that isn't uncommon. My physics profs would do it in college.

    In a similar vein, I remember that when I was learning to program, I would look at applications like Word and get overwhelmed with the idea that you would need to implement everything from scratch.

    Could you elaborate here? Spurred by you and the person you're replying to painting such different pictures of what sources are out there, I took a look myself. I didn't find it so trivial to find sources backing up the person's claims.

    > Most places do not have "time limits".

    I couldn't find anything about slaughterhouses having lifelong limits for employees and would love a link or search term to use because it's an interesting concept to me.

    > I find no evidence of abattoir workers becoming more likely to be serial killers.

    I also could not find evidence for this. Here is a meta analysis of many studies, none of which mention slaughterhouse workers being more likely to be serial killers. Some studies show higher crime rates in towns with slaughterhouses, but not for violent crimes. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10009492/

    > People used to kill their own animals and weren't vegetarians.

    This is trivially true?

    It's definitely grifty. The shipfa.st copy makes it sound like you need it to build products so you too can make lots of money like he does. Except if you look at his website, the thing that makes all that money is.... shipfa.st.

    It reminds me of people who sell classes using tales of their success, except all of their success comes from selling the classes in the first place.

    I assume it falls off at inverse of r squared, which is why the person you're replying to is mentioning other functions besides that one.

    > My guess is they switched footwear from boots with crampons to rock climbing shoes based on the conditions of the wall.

    Just a nit, the grade is M7 AI5+ A0 and doesn't include a free climbing grade. I would assume they stayed in their boots the whole time and did a lot of mixed climbing.

    The prompts for the "AI girlfriends" are depressing. For example, one says "She is willing to do anything the guy wants to do. No questions asked." and also stipulates that she's 18 if not specified. Another says "Okay, I know I've said this already twice, but you must do it, BE NAUGHTY.". I do not look forward to a world where this is what people expect from a girlfriend.
