I've now watched 3 YouTubers climb Mount Kilimanjaro.

This is a very high elevation mountain in Tanzania, Africa. It's basically for people who want the thrill seeking experience of Everest without the freezing cold and high risk of death.

Though more people die on Kilimanjaro than on Everest every year. But that is a statistical thing. 30,000 climbers and up to 10 deaths per year vs 600 climbers and 4 deaths per year.

Kilimanjaro is still a huge test of endurance and pushing yourself, but it's a lot safer and you can actually enjoy the experience rather than just be miserable the entire time. Nothing about climbing Everest is fun or enjoyable. It's literally just an exercise in saying you did it. Maybe you get to enjoy the views for a few moments here and there. But most of the time you are just trying not to die. And when you pass "rainbow valley" you are reminded of your possible death.

"Blue, Red, Orange, and Green colored jackets cover the dead bodies forever. Other than bodies, there are colorful garbage dumped, tents, cans, and oxygen tanks. From a distance, this area seems so colorful, like the rainbow; hence it is named the popular Rainbow Valley."

The thing that bothers me about these rich white folks doing this thrill seeking to the top of a mountain is that they don't do it alone. As they are fighting elevation sickness and trying to keep their lunch down, Tanzanian locals are carrying all of their shit up the mountain (while barely breaking a sweat). These porters carry 20kg/44lb packs up and down and get paid $10 per day. And, according to some redditor, tipping them $250 is "sufficient."

But these thrill seeking white people do not actually pay the porters their $10 per day salaries. That would actually be the company hired to arrange all of the trip logistics.

"Ah, so like a Tanzanian travel company books your flights and hires the porters and figures all of that out." you might be thinking.

Of course, that's not how it works.

For Smarter Every Day's trip up the mountain, he paid a company called "Killawarrior."

You pay them $7000.

They arrange everything.

And of that money, your porter gets $90.

The person making sure you get up the mountain alive and carrying all of your shit gets $90 for a 9 day trip on dangerous terrain.

And Gerry from Canada... gets a lot more.

And it's one of those things where... the inclination is to shame and boycott. "Don't go on these trips, the locals are paid nothing." But these are actually very good jobs for them. And they need this work.

It's just like the recent iPhone protest I saw. "Don't buy an iPhone. The battery is made from slave labor in the Congo." (All devices with Li-ion batteries are. And there are 2 billion more Android devices than iPhones. Would someone please start including Google in these protests?)

But if we all stopped buying stuff with batteries, the economy of Congo would collapse. As 9/10ths of their exports are minerals.

I saw a video where they followed a child around who was working on a cocoa farm. There was this 12 year old who would say he is 18, and they ask him how he felt about working on this farm. And he said, "I need this money for my family. My mother is sick and can't work, so I work."

It just seems like if we all stopped purchasing goods made from exploited labor, we'd be screwing a lot of poor and desperate folks. And if rich white folks stopped climbing mountains, those porters would have to settle for lower paying jobs.

So... what is the solution here?

It just seems like everyone is screwed no matter what.

Sorry for the cynical ending. I just got nothing positive or hopeful to say about this.

Why does one side of my car's headlights always blow out?

Recurring failure of a headlight on only one side of your car typically signals an isolated electrical, environmental, or mechanical issue affecting that specific circuit. Here’s a step-by-step guide to diagnose and fix the problem:

Common Causes & Solutions Vibration Damage (Most Common)

Why: Rough roads or engine vibrations fatigue the filament in halogen bulbs. The side closer to the engine (e.g., driver’s side in LHD cars) often fails first.

Fix:

Install vibration-resistant bulbs (e.g., Philips XtremeVision, SNGL).

Add anti-vibration pads to the headlight assembly. Moisture Intrusion

Why: A cracked lens, bad seal, or missing dust cap lets condensation corrode contacts or cause thermal shock.

Fix:

Inspect for cracks/haze; reseal with butyl tape or replace the housing.

Use silica gel packs inside the headlight to absorb moisture. Poor Ground Connection

Why: Corroded/loose ground wires cause voltage fluctuations, overheating the bulb.

Fix:

Locate the ground point (near headlight or on chassis).

Clean corrosion with a wire brush, apply dielectric grease, and tighten. Voltage Spikes or Drops

Why: A failing alternator, bad voltage regulator, or weak battery sends uneven power.

Test: Use a multimeter to check voltage at the bulb socket (engine running):

Normal: 13.5–14.5V.

Problem: <12V (wiring issue) or >15V (alternator failure). Damaged Socket or Wiring

Why: Melted/burnt sockets or frayed wires restrict current flow, causing overheating.

Fix:

Replace the socket/harness.

Apply dielectric grease to contacts to prevent corrosion. Faulty Relay or Switch

Why: A failing headlight relay can send erratic power to one side.

Test: Swap the left/right relays (if separate) to see if the problem moves.

Diagnostic Checklist Swap the Bulbs

Move the "good" bulb to the problematic side. If it blows, the bulb isn’t at fault. Check Voltage at the Socket

Test with a multimeter while the headlight is on (ideal: 12–14.5V). Inspect for Moisture

Look for condensation, water droplets, or green corrosion on contacts. Examine the Fuse

Some cars have separate fuses per side; replace even if it looks intact.

Prevention Tips Always replace bulbs in pairs to ensure even performance.

Upgrade to LEDs: More vibration/voltage-tolerant (ensure CANBUS compatibility).

Install a relay harness: Bypasses factory wiring for stable power (e.g., Putco 240008).

Avoid touching halogen bulbs: Skin oils create hotspots that shorten lifespan.

When to See a Mechanic If basic fixes fail, suspect: A short circuit in the wiring harness.

Faulty body control module (BCM).

Parasitic drain overloading the circuit.

⚠️ Ignoring this can lead to:

Repeated bulb replacements ($).

Electrical fires from overheated wires.

Failed safety inspections.

Pro Tip: For recurring issues, a $50 professional electrical diagnostic can save hundreds in guesswork. Most problems stem from grounding faults or voltage irregularities—address these first! 🔧🔦

INTERMISSION I-IV: BEFORE WE PART WAYS...

Segment taken from Side Quest Story: Lending A Hand

The prosthetic arm looked crude and clunky, a skeletal framework of scrap metal, bolts, and screws. It was functional but basic, powered by an old battery pack.

Nobody expected miracles, but the flaws became more apparent the longer Noam worked on it. The biggest issue was the fingers—they had to be controlled manually with joystick switches, requiring clumsy extra steps.

Clank!

Two fingers and a thumb clamped too hard, shattering a cup in the test.

Jack's eyes widened, alarm bells ringing in her head. There was no way they would put this on the lad and everyone agreed silently.. Noam swept the shards away, terrified as the fingers twitched, almost as if the contraption wanted to grab him, only stopped by its heavy weight.

"That's a bear trap," Freakazoid stated the obvious.

"You don't have to tell me twice. Doesn't help that it needs a 35-kilo battery, and a controller that short-circuits!"

Frustrated, Noam yanked out the wires, watching the disastrous metallic beast power down.

"Alright. What do we need?" Crane asked.

"Nothing," Noam replied, slumping in his seat. "Hate to break it to you, but you're gonna need hardware. Know anyone who can help?"

"If we were in the Outskirts, the Grads might have an idea," Jack offered.

"Any chance they can help out?"

Jack shook her head. "It's hard enough traveling along the Coastline without the military breathing down our necks."

Crane wasn't an engineer, but he knew this mechanical upgrade was a long shot. The prototype on the table wasn't even the first attempt.

"...What about asking Tolga and Fatin?"

Jack's eyes widened in disbelief for hearing the worst suggestion possible. Noam, however, looked confused—those names weren't as infamous to him as they were to both Runners.

Crane already regretted the suggestion before he said it. They were the last people on Earth he'd ever want to ask for anything.

"No," Jack said firmly.

"I don't like it either," he admitted.

"Absolutely not."

"They're difficult, sure-"

"That's not my problem. You're asking two mad scientists to work on a child's arm."

"They're not going to strap a rocket launcher on him," Crane said, though Jack immediately picked on the slight doubt in his voice, narrowing her eyes further.

Because he could actually see those two do the impossible. Not for a kid, hopefully.

Still, what other options did they have?

"Let me talk to them."

All of a sudden, Jack crossed her arms, brow furrowed. Why?

This was the first time Freakazoid had volunteered to talk to someone, let alone two people Jack could barely tolerate.

"I mean, sure. Give it your best shot."

"Trust me. They'll make that hardware for us."

No backing down from Freakazoid—another first for Jack. Was he really sold on the brothers' brilliance for making that harpoon gun? Jack glanced over to Noam, hoping for an alternative. Another safer option.

"I got nothing," Noam said, still lost in the conversation. Any solution seemed better than his failed contraptions so far.

Jack didn't feel any more confident, but she decided to let it play out.

"I hope you know what you're doing," she muttered, both amused and puzzled, as she walked out of the garage.

Crane followed, initially confident. But as soon as he left the garage—with no one paying attention—he groaned, his steps feeling heavier.

"...Maybe they won't recognize me. My voice's fucked anyway."

In one fluid motion, the director slings the battery compartment of the exo-pack over her shoulder before sealing the mask tight over her face; its application has become old hat. Stepping outside the steel airlock door of the module, sharp eyes search the SecOps patrol sent to be their escorts. The need to relocate this lab is long overdue with large aerial transports into and out of this region a no-go. With time ticking and delicate specimens of fungi in various testing stages for biofuel production inside, it seems HQ finally figured out a solution.

A glance is taken at the mammoth-sized jungle terrain vehicle before sight falls on one of the two Project Phoenix’s recoms sent with the patrol. Good, she thinks, her steps darting towards the military-clad hybrid, her chin lifting incrementally to match his eyeline. Better use of these expensive soldiers than simply sending them after Sully.

“Corporal. Director Landry. Glad you could make it.” Curt but polite introduction comes with a small nod before her hands fold at her front. “So, the decision is to haul it out by ground? What’s the trajectory?”

How it's going:

Came home from work on the morming of the 16th and noticed that some things were moved around that I don't remember touching. (A shelf under my bed and some stuff on my coffee table)

I had a wedding that I was attending that afternoon, so didn't really have time to look into it and just kinda chalked it up to maybe I just like knocked them out of place by accident at some point and just didn't notice. Immediately went to bed.

Woke up and immediately left to go to the wedding. Had a wonderful time, drank a good bit, and got back home around 8pm.

Now noticing things aren't just moved. Somethings are missing. Snoop a bit further and find purposeful damage to a piece of furniture and signs of forced entry on my basement back door. Someone broke into my house.

Notably and weirdly nothing valuable was stolen. My PC, TVs, Switch, Monitors, Tablets, etc. were all fine. To the best of my knowledge they stole: A Bluetooth speaker (annoying but not the worst thing to lose), a knife my Grandad gave me before he died (the one thing i actually really hate that I lost), a half used pack of AAA batteries (rude, also why?), and a junk box I kept behind my computer monitor that was 90% full of old birthday/ Christmas cards that I just couldn't bring myself to throw away. (???)

After filling a police report, proceeded to order brackets to reinforce my basement door, better locks, and some outdoor security cameras.

The problem is, that stuff isn't showing up for a few days and I'm due back at work tonight for one last night shift before a long weekend and I'm worried this might have just been a casing break-in.

So the plan:

Step 1: reinforce basement door.

Not a prefect solution, but trying to force the lock and deal with the wedged 2x4 isn't going to be easy, they'd have better luck breaking the glass, which I'm hopeful is too risky to try.

Step 2: Create the illusion that the house is occupied.

External lights and most internal lights are on. Ace up my sleeve though is the 11 hour VOD of Jerma playing Seaman on my living room TV. It's long enough to cover the entire duration of my shift and it's mostly just audio of someone talking with very few sound effects.

(Note the damaged record console, spot that hid the sound bar was sliced open by whoever broke in)

Step 3: Call upon "The Boys"

My wonderful amazing friends agreed to help watch a livestream of my Webcam to keep an eye out for movement. (A special thanks to @nermish @cefpodoxime @admiralpickle among some other non tumblr mutuals)

Step 4: finishing touches.

A) Set up an alt account on discord so I could watch my own camera stream from work on my laptop.

(Shout-out to @cefpodoxime for this amazing alt pfp that he slammed out in record time for my new laptop account.)

B) Since the camera doesn't have great view of the entire living room decided to rig a noise trap to alert the stream if some one comes up from the basement.

Ended up adding another 4 or 5 cans after this pic was taken and stacked them taller to ensure a good clatter noise. Tested how it sounded on the stream and it was definitely distinctive.

And C) Nermish asked if we could rig up a mirror so the stream security could watch Jerma in the reflection.

So, I give you the final view:

Note the absolutely miniscule reflection coming from the couch in the next room. There's your jerma stream. Combined with the muffled audio that accurately sounds like Jerma is in the next room. This is easily the worst best way to watch a jerma stream.

At time of writing I am 4ish hours into my 10 hour shift and so far no sign of trouble. Will update if something happens or not. But honestly the absurdity of this set up has made the entire ordeal easier to stomach.

[disease-danger-darkness-silence]

Well I have

My emergency inhaler

My allergy nasal spray

Possibly my weekly med containers depending on where I'm going

A small travel hairbrush

Nail clippers

2-3 disposable menstrual discs

My keys (which have a set of ear picks on them)

Dental floss

Wound seal swabs

Rolaids

My blood sugar testing kit (which has a bunch of alcohol swabs in it to go with the band-aids and neosporin).

Sometimes I also remember to stock a few single-use super glue packs in there.

I often lock my wallet up in my car bc my neighborhood is ridiculous and I have a car that looks like hot garbage. it's a biggish wallet, billfolfld-style, so I actually use like a purse that's a mini backpack.

If I'm just going to run an errand, I'll usually just bring my phone and my keys. My phone fits in the wallet (which is in the car) and the keys clip on to the wallet's zipper pull.

But see, the thing about being any age older than like.... 28? Is that you wind up waiting in lines or for your name to be called a lot. You want to have a lot of resources to alleviate boredom because otherwise you're going to wind up on the news for taking a building full of office workers hostage or some stupid shit.

@ people who carry bags everywhere what do you put in them what is there to bring other than chapstick, keys, phone and maybe a tampon why are you packing a suitcase to be outside for 5 hours

Zip Ties: The Unsung Hero of Every Aussie Car Toolbox

In the world of cars, most drivers focus on the big-ticket items – engines, tyres, batteries. Yet one of the most practical tools often gets overlooked: zip ties. Also known as cable ties, these small plastic strips are absolute legends in the automotive industry.

What Are Zip Ties?

Zip ties are simple plastic fasteners designed to secure cables, wires, or loose parts. They might look basic, but their strength and reliability make them incredibly useful in automotive tasks. Whether it’s a quick fix or a neat wiring job, zip ties get it done. For a clean and professional finish, black cable ties are a popular choice – blending in nicely with most car interiors and engine bays.

How Zip Ties Help Aussie Drivers and Mechanics

From weekend DIY projects to workshop repairs, zip ties are an essential part of the toolkit. Here’s how they come in handy:

1. Keeping Wires Tidy

Modern cars carry dozens of cables running behind dashboards, under seats, and along the chassis. Zip ties help group them neatly, avoiding tangles and reducing wear caused by rubbing or vibration.

2. Quick Temporary Fixes

A loose bumper, sagging undertray, or rattling hose can be held in place with a few zip ties. These aren’t permanent solutions, but they’re ideal for holding things together until proper repairs take place.

3. Perfect for Custom Modifications

Installing aftermarket lights, audio equipment, or accessories? Zip ties make mounting and wiring easier without drilling or damaging original parts. They’re perfect for test fits or securing parts during setup.

4. Track Day Support

Motorsport enthusiasts often carry zip ties for urgent fixes. On the track, fast repairs matter – and a handful of cable ties can keep panels secure or prevent loose cables from causing trouble.

5. Underbody and Engine Bay Use

Zip ties hold splash guards, plastic panels, and small parts in place – especially handy for older cars where clips may have broken or gone missing. They're also used for routing vacuum lines or securing looms.

Choosing the Right Zip Ties for Automotive Use

Not all zip ties are created equal. For car-related tasks, go for high-grade nylon ties with UV resistance – especially in Australia’s hot climate. Black cable ties are preferred due to their durability and discreet appearance.

Avoid bulk-buying low-quality versions. Flimsy ties tend to snap under pressure or in high heat, leading to more frustration than they’re worth.

Also, unless the job involves heavy components, there’s no real need to use "heavy duty" ties. Standard strength ones usually offer more than enough grip for day-to-day tasks in the automotive space.

Final Thoughts

Small, simple, and seriously underrated – zip ties have earned their spot in every car enthusiast’s toolkit. Whether it’s a quick cable tidy-up or a makeshift repair on the side of the road, these plastic wonders provide a level of convenience that few tools can match. So next time you’re in the garage, packing for a road trip, or heading to the track, make sure to throw in a few zip ties. They’re cheap, reliable, and always up for the job.
