Sometimes rudeness is the only language (some) people understand.

priceless gif!

But whipped butter takes a sh$tload of water to produce, as far as I know.

The effects of noise, or any startling stimuli, on wildlife metabolism have long been known. It is one reason that, for example, helicopter skiing, or ski-dooing are not allowed in the Alps (with a few exceptions).

You sure took the fun out of starting this week!

They had speakers blasting, and you had bows? Why didn’t you...

If I lived in South Africa, I would send this.

You don’t understand: it’s all about HAVING it, it’s about the ME TOO, not any values connected to it...

Your brain only sends a signal to your muscles saying ‘contract’. The muscle contraction itself is powered by its own energy sources. Remember the evil ATP cycle stuff in biology? Sunk into sweet oblivion...

C’mon, it’s easy: if you have a brain, you have an iPhone.

Bavaria (yeah, it’s not Germany...): if some ignoramus clinks the (beer)glass on the top, instead of on the bottom, he/she is gently admonished “beer and women are bumped low”.

yep, they’re a nuisance, them cane toads.

In Australia that distinction was always explained as “poisonous snakes are dangerous, and the venomous ones are really dangerous”.

I guess I’ve become jittery with that: there are regulations in this country when I don’t expect them (‘can’t buy beer in a grocery store after 2 am’), and there are none where I do expect them (‘driving while being on a phone’)...

oh - ok, thanks! I was already thinking that there ARE some National Park regulations about that...

Just curious about your statement ‘crampons were mandatory’: do you mean that in the sense of ‘required by some regulation’, or ‘any sane person wouldn’t be on a steep snow field without’?

Saving weight on your feet is without question the most important place for a hiker or runner when it comes to conserving energy.

when I get on the ride height compresses to a scant one inch

Who needs airstrips?
