HEY NOW !
This is where to go with everything else . . .
"All The Other Schist"
A place to put stuff that doesn't fit anywhere else
LIKE THE TUTTLE'S WHEN THEY WERE KIDS
As gifted as they come, the way they play "Pins & Needles" will give you goose bumps & "If That Don't Make You Want To Go"
Then this (~)}= Standing On The Moon Won't be your cup-a-joe Either.Still I hope you will stay & add something
I played with various names;
I came really close to;
"Ashes" or "Burnt Tips"Adding a "The" seemed redundant
"The Blown Toez" ?
Toasted Toes
I Almost went with
"The All In Thread"~ I've got a cluttered mind~I've got a cluttered desk,
- Here at Redpoint Univesity,
I think we need a "Catch-All Thread"
Think of this as that;
"The Change jar" just stick stuff in.
` come take something out when ya need to

The Chilean marble caves are a unique place in southern Chile in Latin America. The Marble rock formations; "the Cathedral" are stunning features that are in the General Carrera Lake near Argentina. These marble caves also known as "Capilla de Marmol", which is Spanish for marble cathedral are located at the center of the lake. An island-like setting The Marble Caves, Marble Chapel, and Marble Cathedral are an unusual geological formation. They represent a group of caverns, columns, and tunnels formed in monoliths of marble. The marble caves have been formed by wave action over the last 6,200 years.

Why is the proof, from back in the day of the event to yesterday, so suspect?
Why has no one else ever repeated the same feat?
Why has the old Soviet Union or the new Russia or the new Chineses not focused on any manned space flight?
and for the sin of the lie perpetrated on us all for 50 years we have only to look at who is calling for manned space flight again:

Of course, my first rule is: not to argue with someone who is not playing by the same rules.
I think we landed on the moon back in 1969, but I'm an establishment tool, ------except when I'm not.
And I'm not posting any more history on the subject.
Argue on!

The Rocket Man's Dark Side
By Leon Jaroff"Don't say he's hypocritical, But rather that he's apolitical. "
"Once the rockets are up, who cares where they come down?
That's not my department,"says Wernher von Braun.
Beyond the obvious;
The tin cans in space, not even doublewides, that is what is called our "space-station"there is no other proof of man's ability to travel in space; where is the promised
rotating doughnut-shaped space station?What could have been the reason for the containment of the press at the time?
Kept 3 miles away from the launch for their "safety"oh, yes of course if it had been a fake our enemies would have shown it to be.... ?
unless it was the greatest way to perpetrate a scheme of international Graft on a massive scale.
The -'they'- that is the "Military-Industrial Complex", Saw the "Space Race" as the new world war(s) giving a near-constant source of made to order revenue flow....
oh, Ive just discovered that none of my links work on my post on this same beam, on a different forum.
So I'll have to go deal with that, do some 'house-keeping or delete those links
I'll try to search my 'history' from last night to retrieve some of the articles
that work to show how doubtfull the ability to achieve more than the moon landing is....
The case for the landing on the moon by subsequent attempts after Appollo 11 is harder to dis-prove

Eventually rising to top security levels at Bell Labs.
I was the direct beneficiary of the great developments brought about due to the space race.
(more food, shelter & education than advances in everything including plastics; gels/veneers~ but that too)
I am the product of the enlightened thinking ~ that recognizes what matters is the "greater good' over the actual truth.
The fact that no other industrialized society has pursued manned space exploration in the same scandalously over-run budgets/graft infused way,
points to my reasonable conclusion.more words ?

Some knowz I have a verbose way of saying to
Gedda`da Phuza Oot Yooz Wieze of Ooz,
Why The Figure 8 device fell out of favor.
I think that it is debatable whether this event can be blamed on cross-loading or not.
As in so many cases, multiple things combined to create a 'perfect storm'.
It is a failure, where many parts tragically combined leading to a fatality.An unfortunate fatality from a stupid sport rappelling incident that led to a lawsuit against, HB (Hugh Banner Climbing)
& REI(Recreational Equipment Inc)
for not having included a warning that the weakest point of the locking 'biner was at the opening. Failing (to inward pressure) at substantially lower force load levels than anywhere else on the carabiner.
The lawsuit was apparently settled with no award for punitive damages.The specific facts included that during an improperly rigged face-first descent; "Aussie" style,
The figure-8 rappel device, rigged so that the rope did not pass around the 8,
instead was rigged in "sport mode".So was able to move into a position where it may have levered against the locking sleeve, breaking it & opening the gate.
This point of failure while clearly common sense was shown to be so much weaker in numerous ways that the case did gain traction.
The main take away from the story:
don't sport rappel,
don't 'Aussie rap',
& if you do 'Aussie' or 'Assault' rap with a fig8 & 'biner
do not use an improperly rigged fig8 in sport mode
(rope through 'biner, not around the '8' device)
so decreasing friction to increase speed while sport rappelling,
and do not sport rappel without redundancy !
or maybe one of theseAn example of a beefed-up, 'Auto-lockin' (self-locking) gate sleeve.
At first, to try to keep the fig8 device relevant, smaller holes &
additions of a nylon 'plug' to hold the locking'biner in-place
were added to a short-lived next generation of fig8's.
Allowing some companies to sell off their stockpiles of the device.This incident and the lawsuit it generated,
along with the propensity of the fig8 to twist the cord,
where the main factors leading to the near-complete abandonment
of the use of figure-8 devices in rock climbing.
This lawsuit may have contributed to the demise of HB.

Gnome person,
The first part of your response is not one I would expect to hear around a climbers campfire, digital or otherwise, clearly I should refrain from teasing you?
Interesting second part to your post though, I met HB when he and party were retreating off the Salathe, nice guy who gave us some water.

Wow, meeting "The Engineer"
That must have been excellent.

Ye' think ye' be missing some photo gallery action, eh?
Uhhh... RPU is presently hosting over 1K photos scattered about various nooks and crannies....

@toby
I notice that some platforms have a dedicated 'Photo Gallery"
a thread that just collects photos, that can then be checked separately, linking to the post....Daisy, a wonderful dog

@The-Gnome No need to duplicate several other gallery sites. Kind of a waste of bandwidth and storage resources for a small time operator climbing site, don't you agree?
I guess I could pull a fast one and amend the terms of service such that y'all retain copyright but grant me the right to use and sell so I could then rip ya' off and parlay RPU into the next Getty Images? Now where's my business planner? Get a team of legal eagles to draw up some fine print. Now that's entrepreneurial. And y'all thought I was some kind of hippie,eh? Viva the American Dream, Baby!!
Hmmm... Gonna also need some VC capital to fund the servers, storage, bandwidth and hip, cool Silicon Valley orifices. Oh wait, the VC's would just squeeze me out of the deal, take over everything and I'd be screwed, blued, and tattooed. Never mind.
Edit:
-
You'd mentioned looking for Faces in Nature. Maybe one of those are the image you were looking for?
-
@L-Aura also kicked off A Dog's Life Redoux. Ahh... he's so cute!

@toby,
My thoughts on "missing the Gallery feature?" at 1st I didn't notice it at all.
Then, (after joining the Darkside) I realized that we don't have a gallery.I really only just noticed it when I couldn't find a picture.
I thought that I had added it here,
but it seems I took it down.
Anyway,
I find that it is all the more fun to look around to see what everyone is sharing,
