I didn’t sleep well last night (stress dreams) and read this as “inflatable demigod” at first, and I thought that was awesome and poetic imagery.

I ran the phrase “inflatable demigod” through one of those procedural art generators a few times and got this:

Perhaps I overlooked it but all I see is a link to guide for Thailand’s “Longest and Deepest Caves” and a claim that the rescue vessel wouldn’t fit. Proof would look something like “look at this section, and these dimensions, and look at the vessel and it’s dimensions, and, as you can see the vessel can not pass here”… and you know, actually provide some evidence for both. **That** would be fighting ignorance.

That’s pretty awesome.

That thing comes down out of the clouds, and I’d worship it. (I’d be terrified not to.)

On a related note, I saw a one post OP disappear before my eyes while I was contemplating putting it here.

It was a ‘first time poster’ with an IMHO topic about not feeling particularly outraged at anything. And wow, just looking at it raised all sorts of flags, but I wasn’t sure or anything. So I was clicking on the posters profile when poof, nothing remained. No profile, no thread, nothing.

So I don’t know who bagged it, or if I’m just reading too much into it, but fast work mods!

Obvious Trock was way obvious this time. I snagged it immediately. But they’ll be back.

And, I was reminded that Atamasama has a wonderful, twisted sense of humor. Thanks for the laugh.
