The Distract me from 2020s P&CE Thread Part Trois

Sitting atop Mt Langley with visions of a root beer float at Foster Freeze in Lone Pine.

Odd as you say, I always dunked fished and drank from the streams without a problem.
I always seemed to catch my share of trout. Especially in the Golden Trout area.

There was Fav Lake off trail that I loved to camp at. With nice sized Pink fleshed Golden,
Last time I went, as I got to the lake there was a blast of an explosion. Saw a guy there so tapped him on the back, scared the crap out of him. He thought he and his partner were alone.

He told me that they were building a trail from Canada to Mexico. The PCT.
Oh and by the way, there are a few Golden Trout Left. !!!
The last time I saw Chicken Spring Lake.

Coming out of Mammoth Lakes area always finished across the Highway at The Hot Pools. Nice to soak the mossie bites out.

 

That was scary. Ive seen more than one rockslide start just seemingly from the heat of the morning sun. That could take you all out.
Not saying I wouldn’t have done it with you.

 

For spring break last year, I took my son for a week to Death Valley. We spent a few days between Mammoth and Whitney Portal fishing. I could see myself moving somewhere along 395 in a few years. Then again, there's a lot of places I could see myself moving in a few years.

 

That was one of those trips that I wish I could go back and choose different gear. I had at least 10lbs of crap I didn't need. I was happy I'd packed as much clothing as I did though - it hit single digits at the end of the week.

Today's antidote for the doom.

 

Oh look - Tottenham still has plenty of time.

Advance mathematical models have predicted than the Sun expansion will significantly worsen air quality, as Earth temperatures rise. According to these calculations, life on Earth will be impossible by the year 1,000,002,021 – which means there are still 999,999,996 years to go until then.

Humans will be long gone before 1billion years. If we’re super lucky, we might have 200-300M years.

 

Um no. If we're super lucky we might have 500,000 years or so - but I doubt that very much.

Let's put it this way, 5-7 million years ago lived the ancestor of both humans and chimps. 10 million years ago lived the ancestor of humans/chimps and gorillas.

Or to put it another way, the common ancestor of modern humans and Neanderthal humans lived about 500,000 years ago.

 

Take this to the Doom Thread, Sounders!

 

It doesn’t seem to have any effect. The California thread in particular is mostly him talking to himself.

 

When did Ayla have Durc?

 

I can always count on your pedantry.

I wouldnt have stated it as such in conversation with you. I meant more as in "trilobytes were around for…", "dinosaurs were around for…". Not that our species would be the same for 200-300million years. More that our branch of the genetic tree will likely not survive that time period, unless we pull a whale and go back to the ocean.

and with how rapidly we are changing our environment, 500k might be optimistic for Homo sapiens (sapiens).

 

I'm of the opinion 10,000 years is optimistic for our species.

 

To the doom thread!!!

 

On land, raccoons and honey badgers.

The birds might take over, crows & ravens?

I’m rooting for octopi.

 

I don’t have a ton of luck with TikTok, but this is a quick rundown of what the coastlines would look like if Antarctica and Greenland melted. Plus wildfires.

10,000 months is probably a safer bet.

 

Considering we haven't been around that long, there is a distinct possibility the human race could be completely wiped out and an entirely new race of humanoids emerge in that timeframe. It may have already happened.
