The plan was to spy on China, which had just detonated an atomic bomb. Stunned, the C.I.A. dispatched the climbers to set up all this gear — including the 50-pound, beach-ball-size nuclear device — on the roof of the world to eavesdrop on Chinese mission control.
But right as the climbers were about to push for the summit, the weather went haywire. The wind howled, the clouds descended, a blizzard swept in and the top of the forbidding mountain, called Nanda Devi, suddenly disappeared in a whiteout.
The climbers scampered down the mountain after stashing the C.I.A. gear on a ledge of ice, abandoning a nuclear device that contained nearly a third of the total amount of plutonium used in the Nagasaki bomb.
It hasn’t been seen since.

'NO SENSE' Amazon Prime slammed as ‘abomination’ after removing crucial scene from iconic holiday film
Fans of the iconic film, which follows the life of banker George Bailey, say Amazon cut what many consider the entire point of the movie. The outrage centers on the missing “Pottersville scene,” where George wishes he had never been born and is shown how much worse the world would be without him.
George tells his guardian angel Clarence that he feels better off dead than alive. Clarence then walks him through an alternate version of his town, one shaped by George’s absence showing how different and darker life would have been without his good deeds.
The experience ultimately helps George realize he really does have a wonderful life.

"Say it ain't so" Amazo!
My wife was banned from the face book site, for a short time, for saying one of her homemade quilts are made fabric made in Mexico.
WTF is this censoring BS?

If you are familiar with 100 year old or older homes, this is quite a common practice nationwide. Widespread indoor plumbing and automatic water heaters only became common after the 1920s, and they were slow to be implemented. In many small homes, installing the HWH in the kitchen was somewhat the norm....although most homeowners didn't have one large enough to pop out above the countertop. They were usually hidden beneath the countertop or installed as a standalone enameled metal "box" that one could install in an unused spot in the kitchen that (most times) were the same height as the countertops. Those were the "fancy" ones.
Most DIY'ers simply cut the countertop, installed a small HWH, piped it all up and enclosed the unit with a board in front and placed the original countertop right back on top of the new HWH.
Many of those types of homes have been modestly remodeled, and to gain that space back in the kitchen, they have either moved the HWH altogether into some kind of an addition, up in the attic or a separate outdoor closet that is insulated from the elements.
Definitley redneck in today's world, but if money is a concern and you own an older home and want a larger HWH for whatever reason? This is your option, unless you wanted to move it completely out of the kitchen and actually had the money, a plumber, and the room to move it where you wanted. For many across the US living in houses like this, they are typically poorer, older and they do what costs them the lowest amount of money. Hence, the photo above.

Well around my parts I guess we are spoiled, we have basements, as I do in my 150yr old home. Those who don't have basements they are usually in the equipment closet with the furnace.

Agreed; try as one might there's just no sane reason for such butchery in a kitchen. -

We had one in California. Basements are very rare in CA (at least northern CA).
One of the things that the realtor told us was to make sure that the house was bolted down to the foundation. Many weren't. Those that aren't tend to slide off, more or less completely, in an earthquake. We observed several that did just that during the Loma Prieta quake (1989), which we got to experience.
Ours was indeed bolted down.
We also, at the encouragement of our realtor, had strapped our water heater to the studs in the wall of the garage (where it was located). This, too, is a good idea. They have a tendency to fall over in a biggish earthquake. My wife's niece and her husband, then living in San Jose, had this happen at their house when Loma Prieta happened, and they were both still at work. Someone driving by saw water pouring out from under their garage door, and stopped and shut off the water.
Mrs. H decided quickly and definitively that she did not want to stay in CA much longer after Loma Prieta happened.
EDIT:
House 2.1 (just before as we put it on the market and got ready to move back East, in very early 1991)
The house sat (bolted down!) on a "concrete perimeter" with a crawlspace (very tight) below it.

In your area of the country. Others? Not so much.
