sounds like it might be time for the midnight man to pay a little visit to this vehicle....

plus, “just don’t use phones” or "just don't clip bolts" isn’t really the same. It’s one thing to be “out there” and on your own because that’s the way it is – and quite another to pretend to be out there and avoid safe retreats in favor of dangerous ones "just because." Bonatti’s adventure is neat because he overcame dangerous odds out of necessity -- he didn't HAVE any options, that's why it's a cool story. If you have options but don't use them, it's just not the same.

dude, just buy a harness already. It's not supposed to be a hard choice, just find something within your price range with the features you want -- I'm sure it will work just fine.

likely not, having previously rejected cool glow-in-the-dark condoms Haven't you heard the pope? Condoms INCREASE aids!!!!!

who WOULDN'T agree to glowing in the dark???

It's finally happened!!!!!

But marijuana is a gateway drug!!!!!

Not to mention the huge expense that health benefits for employees represents. That's a constant pain-point for the small-business owners I know. I imagine they'd be thrilled to not have to provide that anymore.

where do you draw the line? Does the minimum wage "hurt business?" Or should anything that "hurts business" be done away with? By that logic, should we make all businesses tax free? Don't taxes "hurt business?" Or, is it maybe OK to "hurt business" a little bit, if it's in the best interest of everyone else? Or do you think we should get rid of OSHA, payroll taxes, corporate income taxes, fairness-in-hiring laws, minimum wage, etc. etc. etc.? Curious what sorts of measures you think are acceptable.

+1.

When people are abused by their employers, it's just cause they don't have discipline and a good work ethic.

Yeah, as someone with a lot of management experience, I hate it when workers band together for their own common good: it makes it so much harder to abuse them. It's even worse once they feel entitled to anything, like fair pay!!!! Before you know it, management will be expected to shrink their own bonuses to prevent cutting wages and laying people off. IMAGINE!!! I wish we could go back to the industrial revolution. Those were good times!

"oh, crap, the camera's on us. Quick, look solemn! Try looking up at the flag a few times, wistfully. Now look down -- pretend you're trying not to cry. AND FOR GOD'S SAKE, DON'T FORGET THE LAPEL PIN!!!!!"

hey kev, I heard NASA has a picture of uranus!!!!

i wish somebody would steal my car and then abandon it full of climbing gear

Sorry, but I have no sympathy for huge corporations. Burn the shit down.

Marcin has a really nice titanium shaft that used to be quite popular, have you hit him up? He loves to show it off.

the question I have is how kevin has so much time to pursue such crackpot theories.
