I really do hope that is photoshopped, though I've seen roads that I wonder why anyone would take them. I can't even stand watching video of people driving on these roads. 🙂

Can you tall I have a fear of heights? It's not how I want to go, so to ensure that I don't I won't put myself in those situations. I won't even allow myself to watch those who do. 🤣

“seemed to die”

So he’s not dead?

He found a bug in his code.

If buildings and trees can disrupt the GPS signal, so can mountains.

that’s asking a lot from a cornbinder...

That ain't no cornbinder. That's either a full-size Jeep Cherokee or Wagoneer (can't tell if it's two or four doors).

Maybe he should have looked around instead of at his smart phone.

I cannot imagine walking the Alps, breathing in the fresh air, taking in God’s creation, but having your nose stuck in a smart phone.

My late wife was terrified of heights - she would not even want to be in the state where that picture was taken. And if it’s a fake, she would still be freaked out.

34 year old expert? Yup, sure he was. Reading his phone instead of the mountain he was standing on. I’ll bet he was talking to Alexa: “hello, where am I?” We lose at least one genius per week on the highway by my house——just can’t leave their phones alone.
