I love special features! The interviews with the crew as well as how scenes came together is something I seek out.
> The highways are never a problem. However "scary" the highways are in any given place the local roads are worse and people's driveways are worse still.

I've driven sketchy roads all over the world and the stretch just after you break out of the aspen outskirts on Independent Pass is genuinely terrifying at parts. For a while there it was not uncommon, if two large vehicles were passing, to have a section of your right front wheel barely over the cliff as there was a part of the outer edge line missing because the road caved in.

Everyone is already driving 15mph on it because for so many people it's a tourist attraction.
It's nothing compared to the Aspen side of Independence Pass. That stretch is terrifying.
I drive this road regularly in the winter for backcountry skiing and I truly think there are scarier roads. Sure there is a terrifying cliff but in general it's not bad if you simply drive to the conditions.

The ten miles or so on the Aspen side of Independent Pass, when leaving town, is so much worse. It feels like a true single lane road at points with a huge cliff on one side that has the road caving in.

Hey you just described my dev team!
> Changing your IP isn't a crime, even if it has the effect of making attribution to Meta more difficult.

To borrow your words, intent matters.

Also why are we acting as if Meta wasn’t doing this for over half a decade and that companies don’t actively take steps to try and prevent piracy?

How is Meta using BitTorrent to download over 80 terabytes of copyrighted books while avoiding using corporate IP addresses not evading security?

If a candidate reached out claiming they didn’t have a machine to interview with, I’d gladly find another path forward. But I imagine that’s a small minority in this industry.

It wouldn’t stop them from being hired.

I'm struggling to use Fable correctly. Everything I do ends up getting flagged and reverted back to Opus. Need to do some digging.

Misc was a magical place back in the day.

I'll never forget there was a kid that weighed something akin to 600 pounds who posted as a troll but everyone started giving him helpful advice and encouragement. He lost hundreds of pounds and I believe even entered a bodybuilding show.

This is incomplete and only shows incidents that were validated by the NPS and opted to be released to the public by the park service. The only way to get the true number of cases is through a FOIA request.
