Not sure how many of you are climbers but this is continuing to blow my mind. Honnold isn't human.

Kilian Jorant is on another level. I can't really comprehend his level of fitness. He felt sick on his successful record setting summit earlier that week... so he did it again even faster
I was also following the EverestNoFilter snapchat at the same time. The contrast between how hard they were struggling on their NoO2 attempt vs Kilian casually running up the thing is amazing.

He's a special guy. I told two of my friends and they straight up told me that what I read was false
I can't imagine climbing Everest in 26 days nonetheless 26 hours.

I wasn't able to finish that show. I got through the first 12 episodes, but I haven't been able to bring myself to finish the series. Like you mentioned, it puts you into a really foreign headspace, and I ain't having none of that right now.
Henchy - did you catch Sunday's episode of Twin Peaks? Dr. Jacoby's character arc has been...bizarre...to say the least. I can't wait until they start answering questions instead of presenting more of them.

The more it goes on, the less idea I have of what is going on... I'm getting pretty anxious for Coop to get back to normal. I figured it would have happened by now, but it seems to be dragging a bit too long for me. I'm hoping his staring at the Bowie statue snaps him out of it.
To me, the Jacoby arc seems to be comic relief as much as anything else. Maybe there is a twist there (what am I saying... this is Lynch), but it seems that way.

I got my license in 2013 driving a manual. I've driven like five cars altogether and 4 of them were like 2010 and newer. In the last couple of years I've only driven an automatic. Safe to say I wouldn't be super comfortable jumping in like a 90's manual.

I saw a stat recently that only 18% of Americans can drive a manual and only like 4% of cars made are manuals. Just shocks me, I've never not owned a manual car.

Yeah it's interesting. My dad (who taught me) actually got a manual so I could get my license in a manual. Since if you get your license in an automatic, you'll get a license that only allows you to drive an automatic.

You cant text, drink coffee and make Drake like hand movements to your music if you drive a manual.

Then you aren't that good at driving a manual
in all reality I think everyone should be required to know how to drive a manual, I feel like it's a skill everyone should have. But maybe I'm the crazy one here.

I used to think driving a manual would be kinda tricky before I started driving. It's actually easy as ****.

Same here, but it really isn't nearly as hard or intimidating as people make it out to be. I also think it's more fun as well.

I learned to drive manual on an old ford truck with a 3 on the tree while driving around the farm. Everything else has been easy since.

Oh god 3 on the tree scares me haha. My friend learned on a 1956 Ford F-150 she like you it's been super easy for him.

Well I don't know, driving automatic is a lot less driving and a lot more sitting. I prefer to have to do less.

For day to day stuff... I totally get the appeal of an auto. Even drag racing they are better. There isn't much better than rowing gears up a mountain road though... if only my best car for that wasn't so damn obnoxious...

Manual transmissions are nice for fuel economy, but not ideal for city driving, especially in a mountain town where most stop signs and lights are on slopes/inclines

Learned to drive manual only in the last couple years. Those first couple hours were humbling to say the least
