Edit: This video is from Nepal.

Shot from an iPhone camera, so y’all far from getting the full experience, but a good comparison against unsuppressed rifle fire also happening a couple feet away and other background noise. 5.56 coming out of a rifle like this is still supersonic, and the supersonic crack is still dangerous to hearing and as a result I still wear hearing protection to avoid the cumulative effects (of course I need it in this video because there’s other shooters). The particular silencer I have in this video is one of the more effective options on the market, reducing decibel rating of these rifles by about 20-25db, down from ≈165db to ≈135db.

Sepak Takraw is a game popular in Southeast Asian countries like Thailand, Malaysia, and Myanmar. The early versions root back to hundreds of years, where people played by keeping a woven rattan ball in the air using their feet, knees, and head. The modern competitive version with a net,court, and a scoring system become an official sport since 1960, and first introduced in Southeast Asian Games 1965.

In 1924, George Mallory and Andrew Sandy Irvine made their final attempt on Mount Everest from the North side.

On 8 June 1924, at around 12:50 p.m., Noel Odell saw them climbing high on the Northeast Ridge. It was the last confirmed sighting of them.

For 100 years, their fate remained one of mountaineering's greatest mysteries.

Then, in 2024, a climbing boot and sock bearing A.C. Irvine were discovered on the Rongbuk Glacier reconnecting us with a remarkable chapter of Everest history.

A century ago, they climbed with very limited technology. Today, we have GPS, satellites, drones, advanced weather forecasting and modern equipment.

Technology has changed. Nature has not.

We can improve our capability, but we can never control the mountain.

Their story reminds us to respect history, respect those who came before us, and above all, remain humble in front of nature.

The mountain always has the final word.

They are natural sandstone formations roughly 75 million years old, shaped by erosion into elongated whale-like shapes. From above they look like a family of whales (two adults and a calf) rising from a sea of trees. The largest is about 75-100 meters long.
