For his 1996 ascent, Kropp left Stockholm on 16 October 1995, on a specially-designed bicycle with 108 kilograms (238 lb) of gear and food. He traveled 13,000 kilometres (8,000 mi) on the bicycle and arrived at Everest Base Camp in April 1996. Following a meeting of all of the Everest expeditions on the mountain at the time, it was agreed that Kropp would attempt to summit first. On 3 May, Kropp climbed through thigh-deep snow and reached Everest's South Summit, a point 100 metres (328 ft) from the summit.[5] However, he decided to turn around because it was too late in the day and if he continued, he would be descending in the dark. While Kropp recovered from the ordeal at base camp, the 1996 Everest Disaster unfolded. He helped bring medicine up the mountain. Three weeks later, on 23 May, he again tackled the mountain, this time successfully summitting without extra oxygen support.[6] He then cycled part of the way back home.[7]

He returned to Everest in 1999 with his girlfriend Renata Chlumska to undertake a cleanup, during which they removed 25 discarded canisters from the mountain. They also successfully summited together.

I have my iPhone set to save in JPG. I am not buying a Mac just to convert the rare HEIC image. The add on app for Photoshop is 99 cents. I refuse to buy it on principal. If Apple wants us to adopt a all new format, they best make it free.

I will stick to JPG as it has been around for over 30 years and is part of every OS out there.

The GIMP is both free and Free and supports heic just fine. Has prebuilt binaries for all the platforms.

That said I havent figured out when/why my phone emails as jpg vs heic, I always send to myself without a subject and pick "medium" for size. Most are Jpg but one out of five or six get sent as heic

The iPhone OS defaults to HEIC and there is a setting to change it back to JPG as the default.

On October 26, 1979, angler Ken Fraser set the IGFA All-Tackle World Record for bluefin tuna with this incredible 678.56-kilogram (1,496-pound) fish. Fraser was fishing out of Aulds Cove, Nova Scotia and needed just under an hour to land the massive tuna after it ate the rigged mackerel he was trolling. Fraser's catch is the heaviest tuna ever recorded in the history of the IGFA. Congratulations to Ken Fraser on an incredible catch that continues to stand the test of time!

That's beautiful as long as I don't ever need to work on it or deal with it. I'd happily drive it. I wonder how heat is managed in the hood, if it's full of louvers or something.

I don't see any venting on the hood, but it's also not a good picture to know for sure.

This is what happens when you get stuck on our beach and the tide swamps the vehicle. This one has been out here for at least 7 years, though usually we can only see the engine block peeking out under the sand.

I had to look that up. Wikipedia says 22% of all the gold that is accounted for today. So not nearly half.

Many years ago a stand up comedian asked the audience "How do you survive when you've done your business and discover there's only one sheet of toilet paper left?" Then he demonstrated with a single square of this paper while describing what he was doing. "First, you fold it diagonally, then again. Then you tear off a little from the point." He unfolds the square of paper with a hole in the middle, and inserts his middle finger through the hole. "You do your business, then wipe off your finger as you slide the paper off of it." Then he takes the little circular piece of paper from the tip and while demonstrating, cleverly says "you can clean under the fingernail with this little piece."

Just paying forward this useful life hack...
