Yes, definitely a rookie mistake. I'm sure they were tired, and just didn't give it a second thought. Hopefully they've learned some valuable lessons about backpacking, and will take a lot more care if they ever decide there will be a "next time."
They were clearly woefully unprepared for an actual backpacking trip. It's no big deal to learn from one's mistakes, of course. I'm just glad this misadventure didn't turn deadly...

Precisely. I live near Yosemite National Park, and it would be an absolute disaster if there were enough hotels, campgrounds, and amenities to meet the demand. The demand FAR exceeds its capacity for tourists, but it would destroy the very reason for that demand if that actually happened.
So what did they do? Set rules for the number of tourists allowed in the park per day, and stuck to it.
It’s a shame. I did pay for lifetime, and that’s always a risk. Looks like this bet didn’t pay off. The money doesn’t bother me - more the fact that there isn’t a portrait-only Lemmy app that’s a good replacement. If anyone knows of one that’s as good and will stay in portrait without having to put the whole phone in portrait lock, please let me know…
Categories such as “education” are useful for limiting access for specific groups of devices. For example, if one class has a particularly mischievous group who keep going off task from their devices, rules can be created to whitelist certain categories, and only pass traffic that are in these more straightforward categories. Just FYI.
I work in K12 IT, and the reason is that all manner of categories are defined for both blacklisting and whitelisting when creating content filter rules. So while “education” would not be used for blocking, it would be useful for rules to apply to specific defined groups or devices which can only access specific categories (such as education). Just FYI.
Honestly, this baffles me. I work in K12 as a CTO, and when hiring techs or network admins, I always let applicants know during the interview when I will make the hiring decision, and they will receive an official letter of regret if they are not hired. I always keep resumes on file, as you never know if other opportunities come up. Why would any organization want to burn bridges with potential hires?
Maybe it’s just me being Gen X, but not hearing one way or the other would prompt me to pick up the phone, and at the very least check back to ask if they’ve made a decision after a week (maybe two) if I’ve interviewed…
Yes, that patented "Sure-Align" neck joint is one of the best features that drew me to the SC series initially. It's great. I also love the neck profile - it's very much like the electric guitars I'm accustomed to. It's a fantastic instrument.
I mean, is there such a thing as a silent electric coffee grinder? I think I can live with it…lol.
My primary observation is that Baratza sells replacement parts for their grinders, and the parts are interchangeable in the Sette series, which I think is really cool.
Happy caffeinating!
Very nice. Did it come with those bellows, or was that aftermarket?
