The best part of my 79 yo dad climbing Angels Landing wasn’t the summit. It was all of you cheering him on 🥹❤️

So many, literally dozens of kind hikers, cheered him on all the way to the top. You guys were amazing. Much love from your fellow Canadian neighbours.

25M to survive one night on cannibal island.

You are flown to a remote island measuring approximately 50 km × 50 km and parachuted in at the center of it with a single cargo bag. It's like a tropical jungle with tall trees.

The island has only one group of inhabitants: a tribe of cannibals.

The moment they see you being airdropped, 15 of their best hunters are dispatched to find and capture you.

The rules

- You have about 1-hour head start after your landing before the hunters reach you.

- They are extremely skilled hunters/trackers/trappers and are experts with bows, spears, and poison-tipped arrows, as well as creating traps.

- They have only primitive technology—no guns, vehicles, radios, drones, night-vision equipment, or modern weapons.

- They will try to capture you alive (exotic meat) and boil you and eat you. But they will not hesitate to kill you if they feel their lives are in danger.

- You have unlimited money to prepare beforehand. You may bring anything you want, provided everything fits inside your parachute cargo bag. Your total cargo weight cannot exceed 100 kg.

You cannot receive any outside assistance, communication, resupply, or extraction during the challenge.

You have to survive 24 hours from the moment you land.

If you are still alive and uncaptured after 24 hours, you are immediately airlifted off the island and $25 million is deposited into your account.

Would you do it?

Sunset eclipse

Taken with my crappy iphone 🥲

One of the most beautiful sights I've ever seen. It's like a river of lava flowing in the ocean. With shades of orange.

  1. Increase resolution of picutre as much as possible and denoise it. For possible large print

  2. Provide one original format and one landscape format to see which one is best for print.

🙏🙏🙏

Taking photo/video of the eclipse with an iPhone?

Hi

Has anyone photographed (or taken video) with an iPhone?

What settings do you use? People take videos of sunsets all the time: do we really need filters?

My goal is not to take professional level photographs or to waste time playing with settings. Maybe a video timelapse and a picutre or two of the total eclipse. And I want to enjoy most of the time to just look at it, instead of playing with the phone

Will the sun look bigger and closer depending on the site?

I've noticed that when watching sunsets, the sun sometimes appears huge and very close to the horizon, while at other times or in other places it looks much smaller and farther away.

For the August 12 solar eclipse, do we have any way to predict how "large" the Sun will appear to observers? I know its actual angular size is essentially constant, but I'm referring to its perceived size near the horizon.

Will the eclipsed sun appear about the same across Spain, or are there locations where it will look noticeably larger because of the viewing geometry, landscape, or atmospheric conditions?

For context, I'll be staying at an Airbnb in Banyalbufar (Mallorca) with an unobstructed west-facing view of the sunset over the sea...

It took forever, but it's done! 😮‍💨

Not going for stage 5, as it's only a slight weight reduction, not worth the time and 5M drops.

I honestly feel I am mechanically doping on these halo bikes, that's how fast they feel.

Ride on!

Has anyone seen this before or knows what to expect? I have a hard time visualizing it

https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/news/sunset-solar-eclipse

"The instant totality is done, turn around and look at the sky behind you and you may see the shadow of the moon lifting off the planet."

As totality ends, the moon's shadow is no longer simply moving across the landscape, but reaching the end of its journey across Earth and beginning to skip off the planet entirely.

Depending on atmospheric conditions, it may be possible to see the departing shadow cast onto distant haze layers or clouds.

Sending candian notes to PMG for grading. Do you have to pay customs fees upon return?

I am sending a Devil Face note for grading. I expect the value of it to be around 1000$ graded.

Will I have to pay customs fees and taxes when they ship the note back to me?

How much insurance are you paying for the new Subaru Uncharted?

I was quoted 200 per month (twice the rate of my BMW i4) by TD because they consider this car at very high risk of theft. And that’s with all the bundle/house/multi car discounts.

I was a bit surprised. So switched to Economical for 100/month. No need to install a TAG either (was same price with them)

Curious to know what others are getting
