There are no noise-cancelling headphones to stop the U.S. Navy's 235-decibel pressure waves of unbearable pinging and metallic shrieking. At 200 Db, the vibrations can rupture your lungs, and above 210 Db, the lethal noise can bore straight through your brain until it hemorrhages that delicate tissue. If you're not deaf after this devastating sonar blast, you're dead.

The policy, agreed to by all nine justices, does not appear to impose any significant new requirements and leaves compliance entirely to each justice

Nothing. They did absolutely nothing. No new rules and they can just not follow them if they want. Toothless and pointless pandering.

“To condemn Hamas is a good thing,” said Elrabieey, a native of Egypt and a visiting scholar in Tulane’s Middle East and North African Studies program. “But at the same time, if you didn’t condemn Israel for committing war crimes, this is a double standard.”

At least one person there has a good grasp.

Article headline is clickbait. If you read it it's actually a fairly positive way to implement it. They got permission from the family, compensated the family, and wanted to continue on the legacy of the actor who played Vector in the original.

Donald Trump is a poor man's idea of a rich man, a weak man's idea of a strong man, a stupid man's idea of a smart man, and a loser's idea of a playboy.

He is a caricatute and nothing more.

Remember when Chris Christie was mercilessly mocked by fox news for "hugging" Obama after he shook the President's hand during Sandy relief efforts?

Meatball Ron's campaign staff does. That guy may be an idiot, but someone on his staff had a flicker of sanity for a second to prevent the final bullet being shot into this campaign that should have died before it ever even started.

Bonds are to restrict the poors. It's serving it's intended purpose in this case. Allowing the rich to walk while keeping the not rich in their place.

Damn, that's amazing. How tall was Melania's mailman?

Yeah... But it was promoted through money paid by Russian Intelligence in order to sow racial discord in America.

Not ultralight gear list (lighterpack.com)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by Saprophyte@lemmy.world to c/backpacking@lemmy.ml

I'm new to the community and thought a little activity on the community couldn't hurt!

I am a pretty large guy (6'2", 240lbs) who's also pushing 50. As much as I'd like to do ultralight, I struggle to keep my base weight around 20lbs because I need large gear and sleeping on the ground is not that sexy for me. Plus... I have a chair because sitting on the ground is about as unsexy as sleeping on the ground is. I started off with a 50+lb pack and have gotten better gear as I've gotten more into backpacking.

I've done the CA section of PCT and now I do section hikes on the AT as I live on the east coast now. My trail name is JoePaca, and if you've seen me at a camp, I'm pretty easy to remember.

I'm happy to give honest opinions on any of the gear in my list, but I'm pretty happy with all of it.
