The Bridge

I don't think it'd be technically feasible to install a safety net anyway

12:57 AM

He could tether himself to the wire, though.

Or wear a parachute.

It's stupid of him to not do that

user20683

I've fairly severe acrophobia

Dunno slot the parachute

user20683

and I've been to the Grand Canyon

@badp They had a segment where he was talking about how he was pissed that he had to wear safety gear when he went across Niagara Falls because the network didn't have any balls, and how he's happy Discovery has balls.

12:59 AM

@wor Well at least you don't have vertigo! Acrophobia is the irrational fear of acres over acres of agricultural fields right??

@StrixVaria They probably just realize it will give them higher viewership.

A lot of people are probably just watching hoping he falls.

user20683

@badp heights

Like how you watch nascar for the accidents.

user20683

more specifically I'm afraid of falling

user20683

I fear deep water for the same reason

1:00 AM

@WorldEngineer Are you not buoyant?

user20683

@StrixVaria I can swim, it's not a question of that.

well who wouldn't be afraid to fall down eleventy meters

user20683

and no, I'm too skinny to be bouyant

@WorldEngineer You wouldn't sink all the way, though.

user20683

right but just thinking about it is almost triggering a panic attack.

1:01 AM

There's some equilibrium point.

user20683

@StrixVaria not the point

Phobias suck, though.

@WOR relax, the only thing you can probably drown in today is Mayo

> [The winds] are not only variable, but also changeable.

Thanks.

user20683

@badp mayo? I don't eat mayo.

1:02 AM

be careful at Mc Donald's and you'll be fine

user20683

@StrixVaria variable = strength, changeable = direction

@strix I guess the difference is that they installed huge fans to change the wind at will :-P

@WorldEngineer Are these technical terms?

user20683

@StrixVaria maybe? I've heard them used.

somewhere in there a kid will be given the controls to the fan, which also controls an RC auto on a rather hard track

because Discovery Channel has balls.

user20683

1:05 AM

variable apparently covered both by the national weather service

that or link is just messing around in there wind wakering

And if the guy doesn't fall he'll get a piece of heart.

How has this guy not been suspended yet? <_<

user20683

@Fluttershy He's not yet visited Programmers...

@strix paintball is like videogames in real life amirite

That's why I didn't say "gaming" :P

user15026

@Fluttershy None of this, afaik, is suspension worthy

I'm surprised that automatic low-quality suspension feature hasn't kicked in.

OR is that only on overflow?

user15026

Its annoying as hell

user15026

1:11 AM

but thats it

user20683

@Wipqozn ban but the threshold is higher I think

user20683

ban != suspension

@AshleyNunn Continuous shit-posting + one edit vandalism should be enough for a suspension. Fluttershy for mod!

@WorldEngineer He's already walked across Niagara Falls on a tightrope...

@LessPop_MoreFizz He had safety gear for that.

He's bananas for refusing to wear safety equipment other than his bar

Man on Wire

Man on Wire is a 2008 Oscar winning British documentary film directed by James Marsh. The film chronicles Philippe Petit's 1974 high-wire walk between the Twin Towers of New York's World Trade Center. It is based on Philippe Petit's book, To Reach the Clouds, recently released in paperback with the new title Man on Wire. The title of the movie is taken from the police report that led to the arrest (and later release) of Petit, whose performance had lasted for almost one hour. The film is crafted like a heist film, presenting rare footage of the preparations for the event and still photogr...

There's also this movie, which is really rad:

Dude walked between the two towers of the world trade center.

@les this stuff might be "triggering" @world engie

Also, I thought "Naked and Afraid" was just a parody idea to make fun of all those survival shows.

The baller thing about Petit is that he did it without any authorization - so not only no safety gear or net, but nobody on hand to actually rescue him.

I didn't think it was a Real Thing.

user20683

1:19 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz not fond of heights

And he walked back and forth repeatedly, and danced on the fucking wire.

I mean, no building in northern western Sicily is allowed to have more than five floors

The earthquake risk is just that high

Earthquakes are jerks.

This guy is cray-cray.

You should probably just move away from there forever.

@badp lolol oh man

that was almost as good as my jokes.

@wip I haven't lived there since I was six and in retrospect I'm grateful I did

Not because of earthquakes, but because I like my mental horizons expand further away than the borders of an island

Are you all caught up yet?

Yes.

Because I want to talk about the anniversary episode so badly.

MOMENTOUS EVENTS occur.

I was so scared for Carlos.

I know! Especially because it had been teased that "A BELOVED CHARACTER WILL DIE."

I was legitimately worried about Carlos and also about John Peters, You Know, The Farmer.

Okay, is it something that you might not want to listen to at night?
