Recursion Argh!

That can not be correct, there is no coffee break in there, anywhere.
Huge amounts of coffee are mandatory .
|

|

So the recursive arghs are the sounds of a programmer slowly dying
|
|

|

Obviously the underlined Argh is a coffee. Just not the tasty one thus argh

Nice to see that for once a news article about hardship (real or imaginary) doesn't go through the whole "think your life is hard? try thinking about people who have it harder and be grateful"-routine for once .. oh wait, they did.
Yes, nice cable tram. But that news article.. burn it with fire.

You've a point. Actually, I think it's heroic that they travel this way. Not sure I would do it.

Agreed - it's not even a damn zipline: it's powered both ways, they don't have to "walk back up" in the evening.
Gah! The media are a bunch of idiots sometimes...

They wrote their article after reading a Daily Mail one, it wasn't going to be high quality journalism.

Don't you guys in The Valleys still have these?

Saw this years ago, it's still impressive but, yeah i don't care
Tough commute is caused by ppl not by distance
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Not sure if the site is being flooded, all I'm getting is the article title/subtitle.
But, a zipline? It can't be so "tough" that it's actually something people do on weekends for fun...?
A "tough" commute (granted, my own definition/opinion) is one where you sit in traffic for hours every day, and ends up sucking the life right out of you even before you get to work. And you end up doing that for years, if not decades.
I'm going to assume that because the page doesn't fully load on my end, I'm not getting the full context...

A tough commute is walking 15km - 20km to and from work in the hot SA sun. I've only had to walk 10km one way for short periods of time, but for so many people here, such a walk as a firmly entrenched way of life.

Yeah, I'll agree with you.
The page has finally loaded, I've read it, and watched the video.
It looks rickety and dangerous alright (that's really not my sort of thing), but judging by the expression on the faces of the woman (and her two young kids) at the 30s mark, they don't seem to be particularly distressed. I suspect this is just part of their everyday life and they think nothing of it.
That being said, I have no doubt the stress of a "tough commute" (if we go back to the original discussion) can actually take years off of people's lives...so I'll stand by my initial assertion.
As for the differences between an "extreme commute" (as per the actual article title) and a "tough commute" (as portrayed by TheGreatAndPowerfulOz in his original message)...I hope he doesn't think the terms are interchangeable. That's really my only beef with the whole thing.

Two questions spring to mind;
A. Why is there a village in such a stupid place anyway?
B. I don't need a B because A is so good.
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

B. ROTFFLMFAO!

People also really like to put their villages in flood plains and right besides active volcanoes.
