We are the darkest timeline.

Poe’s law in action. A sufficiently advanced troll is indistinguishable from a genuine kook and the viewpoints of even the most extreme crank are indistinguishable from sufficiently advanced satire

They are scared shitless of her and I am loving every minute of it.

Not to be a downer, but as a species, we work together and use our technology to kill way more people than this every day.

Yes, this and the Chilean miners story, similar ones, hearten me.

I hope that if Aliens are watching us, they’re paying close attention to things like this to get a glimpse of our true nature. I love these stories where people from all over rally their experience and technology to rescue people trapped in impossible situations.

I’m just waiting for the day when his smug most likely rapist arse is nabbed by the first bobby he passes leaving the Embassy.

Tip from an engine builder: #1 reason to let any car warm up - Aluminum expands at different rates than cast iron. Pistons are actually egg shaped when cold by .0001-.0002 when cold.

Under 20F is extreme?
