  30 million people in the country, and the only one they can find is someone we voted out already.

  They could find people with phds who are younger, but nooo. Can’t do that 😂

  It’s not like we don’t have Australians who couldn’t build this golf course if we wanted.

  Lots would happily pay.

  However, for reasons which could only make sense due to corruption, it appears that the mayor would rather do a deal with a convicted tax felon, confirmed rapist and suspected tax offender.

  And he is highly disliked by Australians and has made public statements attacking Australia fairly recently.

  It’s good to get a medical expert to explain. I’m not sure I fully understand, however, I have noticed in the past 5-10 years, all the sites have slowly been moving away from the above graph (I can’t even find the other 2 sites that used to have it).

  So, the evidence seems to suggest you’re right. but, wouldn’t surprise me if its bad writing. I generally use the info off Alan Arnette’s site instead

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Literally a shitpost.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah… In terms of a percentage of normal o2 percentage I think… I’m not a medical expert (so, i only know the basics)

  mtnath.com/altitude/ shows both ways though (and the way I used).

  So, I was actually wrong Island peak was approximately 45% percent. Everest is approximately 33% (they were off the top of my head). I just find that calculating this way is easier to understand.

  It also goes into AMS, HAPE and HACE, which I actually forgot to mention at all. But basically, you either feel sick with AMS (I saw someone turn 20 years older, and go completely grey at 4500m), your brain can swell in your skull (HACE), or HAPE is when your lungs start filling with fluid.

  Money can’t buy immunity from these conditions, and, whether anyone helps, doesn’t make easier for clients either (in fact, it makes it worse, if the help keeps pushing you). The reason the person I saw turned gray, was precisely because only myself and Sherpas were saying to go down. The rest of the group was encouraging him to push on.

  Lol. You’re sitting there on your phone created by exploited workers, with your HVAC turned on burning coal, watching tv burning coal, using hot water burning gas (likely not even using a heat pump). Your environment footprint is obviously excellent. Are you at least a vegetarian (I’m not, but just wondering if you’re even doing the bare minimum)

  You were caught out lying like “they burn wood”.

  I literally do hiking as a hobby, which is likely less environmentally damaging than you sitting at home on your computer.I operate a free hiking group in my free time

  And I literally am friends with a few Nepalese people that I met in Nepal… who apparently added me on Facebook after getting exploited (apparently)

  Sorry, you have no clue whatsoever.

  I suggest your next doco is on space, so you can pretend you’re an astronaut. Oh wait, Neil Armstrong is gross too apparently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Literally a shitpost.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody was climbing Everest before then for hundreds of years. Absolutely 0% fucking chance that happened lol… especially from the Nepalese side (I seriously doubt from tibet either).

  The ice fall on the Nepal side is literally moving 1m every day and constantly changes for starters, and by the time you set up the camps, they’d be buried. Glacier travel you have a team of 2-3 people because of things like ice bridges and crevasses too and it would be impossible to summit without ladders

  It can’t be done without a large team, just like you can’t captain a submarine without a team who built it, and helps maintain it. It is a group effort

  You do realize that Tenzing was Nepalese too right? He was there with Edmund. Nims purja also had both a small team of climbers who were highly experienced and a much larger team helping. He is Nepalese. Is it exploitation by him too?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Literally a shitpost.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s gross at this point, is that watching a bbc documentary doesn’t make you a professional lol .You know no dudes, so, I know more dudes than you.

  You’re not even getting some of the basics right.

  1. On both my trips they only burnt dried yak dung and even the hot water either uses massive reflector solar mirrors or gas . Nobody is carrying wood to any of the camps. Do you think at camp 4 they’re sitting oxygen deprived around a nice fire which produces more co2?
  2. Are you running on full renewables at home? Any renewables? Or, is there a double standard? Its ok for you to burn wood at home?
  3. When you go hiking, or pull over on a long drive, do you use a wag bag? If not, you’re not any better than them…
  4. The climbing permit has now changed and people have to carry down some garbage, and there is a lot of work going into cleanup. Yes it’s a problem, but it doesn’t make climbing any easier.
  5. At kala pattar actually (5500m), I actually saw a mouse which was likely eating scraps. If anything, ironically there is actually more life due to tourists because it’s barren even at that altitude
  6. I’m not sure what you do with your free time, but it better be a lot of volunteering…
  7. Your phone was produced by someone who didn’t want to work but had to

  At this point you’re throwing random things you heard from the documentary, saying “it’s relevant” at the wall and hoping something sticks whilst trying to portray yourself as superior.

  Go do a mountaineering course, and then report back at how little of an accomplishment even 8000m is, let alone an altitude where your body is dying, and you have limited time to summit and return before it does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Literally a shitpost.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, one other fact that people don’t realise, is that using oxygen makes it sound like a cakewalk, but its not.

  Your breath has water vapour in it that freezes and accumulates. So, you’re even competing with your oxygen mask getting frozen shut apparently at high altitude. At 8000m+ you need it, and to sleep at 8000m, you apparently still need some oxygen, or you gag.

  Apparently oxygen bottle theft is also common.

  Once you’re at 8000m (camp 4), you’re basically on your own… Yes, its a bigger accomplishment to set up camps and carry everything up, but, it doesn’t mean that even getting to 7000M isn’t a huge achievement (Everest is 8900m).

  I am planning to do a 700km walk hopefully within the next year, and, I don’t think anyone is going to downplay it simply because I have done food drops (and had others helping with food drops).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Literally a shitpost.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re being upvoted, but, what experience do you have mountaineering training? Any? Have you even got hiking experience

  It feels like you’re just saying stuff that sounds good.

  1. A good company costs 60K minimum, and another 20K if you want 4L of oxygen.
  2. No, you cant just spend 60K and climb either.
  3. You MUST have 7000m experience, which eliminates mountains like Island Peak and Mera (which was the FULL intention), and it means you have experience staying overnight at altitude.
  4. Don’t speak on behalf of the locals. I personally knew 2 different Sherpas who want to climb Everest. One did, the other wanted to (and hopefully has already).
  5. Preparing the camps is a matter of time primarily.
  6. You carry your own gear at 8000m+ which is basically 30% Oxygen, and you cannot acclimatise.
  7. Clients still do many acclimatisation climbs. Getting the camps prepared is basically a matter of time (months).
  8. Whilst I agree a lot of it is just rich people trying to get attention, don’t underestimate the level of fitness it takes. Based on my experience a huge number of people can’t even get to base camp (which is only 5400m). People doing Everest don’t simply wake up and do acclimatisation walks. Even at 6000M, you’re at 40% Oxygen, and its already a bit hard to breath… Every step feels a lot harder
  9. Don’t forget, that a lot of summit guides live at 4000m+, so, they can set up the camps a lot quicker.
  10. Good companies still pay sherpas the FULL amount even if summit/climbing is completely cancelled
  11. I haven’t climbed Everest, but, don’t underestimate the fear of being dropped off in a glacier for the first time, and being told you’ll fall into a crevasse at some point during training. It takes courage too.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Literally a shitpost.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t make it a fake ass accomplishment

  You can’t just stroll up there still.

  I’ve done up to 6000m, and hoping to do 7000m.

  You do rely on sherpas, but it still isn’t a day hike either. Even Hillary’s team used sherpas to assist

  I stood in line for hours for the wii on launch… Back then, it was a new interesting product though. I wish I kept it, and all the accessories (especially guitar hero)

  I bought a wii u… Sure they don’t fix the touchscreen if it breaks and you need a new one though… Still, there were some cool new games, but, somewhat similar to the Wii’s…

  Switch, I understand lining up for it… But, once it was clear that any previous purchases are basically wasted, the joycons were seriously dodgy, and Nintendo was never going to fix it (and many another 5000 mario games), they should have lost people then.

  Then they sold the switch 2… You can still only play games approved by nintendo, and really, the library is mainly Nintendo games, or games available on every platform. By now, Steam deck has gotten awesome, and you can STILL play games from your library from 20 years ago. And, you can use other stores if you want, and have a wide range of games, even in the steam store INCLUDING NSFW ones. And, you know those games are going to almost certainly work in the future without repurchase (and, also work on computer).

  I literally just bought a humble bundle of 10 games for 20% the price of 1 switch game. And I can play them on computer, TV, Steamdeck, etc.

  I’d only pay for nintendo if they were subscription based and thin client. As it stands though, I feel like I’m better off just waiting 20 years until I’m 60 and they’re readily available on emulator

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS5 console sales drop 30% in April after price increase, while Switch 2 dominates⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Problem with Nintendo, is it’s mostly just remakes of the same games and characters. Also they screwed any customers who bought games before the switch 1, as you can’t play them on switch

  Ps5 I ended up selling. It’s good but I figured I have hundreds of steam games, so there was no real benefit of having a ps5 too.
