Just to be clear, the filenames didn't start with dots, just the album title in the metadata.

I admit that I was ignorant to the fact that some tenants think that deposits on rental properties are a savings scheme for them...

Tenant: "We spilt a tin of paint which ruined a carpet, but we will still get all of our deposit back, right?"

Landlord: "Let me explain how it works to you..."

:whistle:

At least 340 people are known to have died on Everest with at least 200 bodies still there. Even if people know roughly where the bodies are the cost to retrieve them is prohibitive.

I think it’s more about the risk of dying while trying to retrieve them that’s the issue rather than the cost.

Apparently you are wrong, according to Mr Google .

I think it six of one and half a dozen of the other. Helicopters can’t safely operate above 21,000 feet so the bodies have to moved down the mountain. So working at that height is extremely dangerous because just being up there has lead to the deaths in first place.
So you need very experienced mountaineers or guides to remove the bodies which as you say is very costly as most of them could be earning good money guiding, as for the cost of helicopeters.

Magpies have memories and can recognize individual animals. My neighbour's cat killed a magpie a few weeks ago and several of them mobbed it. One magpie is still doing it. Presumably the dead one was his/her mate.
