It gets even better, because he was doing all of this on a pitch black night. This dude swam towards a lure, slapped at it with his glove, and when it got caught; he let himself float and tugged on the line so the fisherman thought he had hooked a 100+ pound salmon. Once he was finally up to the shore, he turned a flashlight on in the guy’s face and walked out of the water, saying “good morning, gentlemen. State fish and game warden, you’re under arrest.“

At this point, the guy who had reeled him in had literally fallen over in shock, and the other people with him were scared shitless. The warden whipped some citations out of a plastic bag in his wetsuit, made the trespassers sign them, asked if they had any questions, and then gathered all of their fishing gear. And he just. Walked back into the river. And quietly swam away, without another word.

This man is a legend.

My favourite thing about this is, he didn’t even have to call him ‘Captain’ he could have used the screen-name but he was SO MARRIED TO THE IMMERSION that he DID.

Something like this happened during the 1918 flu pandemic. Different cities issued different safety measures at different times. Obviously the cities that enforced social distancing sooner saw a flattened curve. However, once restrictions were eased because they saw the results of social distancing working most cities saw a second peak of flu deaths.

Right now we risk repeating the mistakes of the past. It’s not enough to flatten the curve, we have to maintain these social distancing measures for longer than we think. Easing restrictions now could cost thousands of lives.

How some cities ‘flattened the curve’ during the 1918 flu pandemic

Social distancing isn’t a new idea—it saved thousands of American lives during the last great pandemic. Here's how it worked.

why are star wars planets more boring than earth and our solar system like sure we’ve seen desert, snow, diff types of forest, beach, lava, rain, but like… 

rainbow mountains (peru)

red soil (canada/PEI)

rings (saturn’s if they were on earth) 

bioluminescent waves

northern lights (canada)

salt flats (bolivia, where they filmed crait but did NOTHING COOL WITH IT except red dust?? like??? come ON)

and cool fauna like the touch me not or like, you know, the venus flytrap.. and don’t get me started on BUGS like… we have bugs cooler than sw aliens

BASICALLY like???? come on star wars you had one (1) job where are the cool alien species

[wearethesparkk]

I KNOW!! I did a report on filming locations in Star Wars last year and just made a list of places that looked so surreal they could make a convincing other planet. You covered some on my list but if I could just add a couple more:

Tsingy di Bemaraha, Madagascar

Zhangye Danxia, China (similar to the Rainbow Mountains in terms of appearance)

Chocolate Hills, Philippines

Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland

So many missed opportunities with cool ass things on Earth, Lucasfilms smh…

[memcjo]

Earth is effing amazing!

[isnerdy-deactivated20190101]

Quebrada de Humahuaca, Argentina

Lake Retba, Senegal

Tepui, Venezuela

Tianzi Mountains, China

[bunjywunjy]

these would make amazing Star Wars planets OR fantasy material:

Tsingy du Bemaraha, Madagascar again (but a different part)

(those are razor-sharp, if you were wondering. very little of this area has been explored because YIKES)

Lake Natron, Tanzania

(looks cool, but is alkaline enough to Kill Your Shit)

Lake Baikal, Russia

(the deepest lake in the world, seriously)

and I’ll wrap it up with Son Doong Cave, Vietnam, the largest cave in the entire world.

it puts anything Dagobah has to offer to absolute shame:

(seriously, the largest chamber is 660 feet high. you could jam a fucking skyscraper in there and still lose it) 

anyway I really like caves thanks for coming to my ted talk

Just adding onto this collection—Star Wars aside—because there are some manmade places/landmarks that are pretty extraordinary too.

Field of Jars, Laos (ancient, uncertain origins; heavily damaged by American Forces in the Vietnam War, now partially a hazardous minefield)

Stone spheres of Costa Rica (ancient, uncertain origins/purpose)

Anasazi ruins, USA (ancient, uncertain origins)

Nazca Lines, Lima, Peru (ancient, uncertain origins)

Malakoff Diggins, Nevada City, USA (result of hydraulic gold mining)

Nuestro Pueblo “Watts Towers”, Los Angeles, USA (lone man spent 33yrs building these in his yard)

Aaand a couple natural things that I can never get over:

‘Sailing Stones’ of Death Valley, USA (they move on their own)

Banyan trees, India (one tree takes root repeatedly and looks like many trees)

“When staying in hotels during touring or recording, Queen would naturally wish to remain anonymous, so a system of aliases was devised that was also used on luggage tags and room lists: Freddie Mercury: Alfred Mason. Brian May: Chris Mullens or Brian Manley. Roger Taylor: Roy Tanner or Rudolph de Rainbow. John Deacon: Jason Dane or Judge Dread.”
