The 8 immortals. Great hike but brutal in Saturday heat. Took me five hours to do the 11km (and 880m ascension). Out of the five hours, was moving less than three hours.
@pivotpod.bsky.social I know @karaswisher.bsky.social seems to have left the cools kid table (Blue sky!), but I am still curious why she is unable to leave the iOS ecosystem. I get @profgalloway.com argument about luxury signal, but they must be both past that, no?

I mainly remember two times of the day. 1) When we watched live the second plane hit the tower on some newly installed big ass screen on the trading floor. Market reacted more surprise than panic with everything stopping. US colleague who was veteran from Iraq war leaving the office. 1/3

Having spent my youth in the Alps, I have known about Glacier Lake Outburst Flood for a while -just in 2010, they drained the water pocket under Tete Rousse, where previously started the 1892 flood- Still, learned a lot from the always interesting Mark Bevan youtu.be/YD97s8cGrkc
