They had to hire someone to record those messages, in order to have them ready to go. I wonder what that would have been like for the person they hired. Going through life, knowing that you're the official voice of the end of the world, thanks to an old recording you did for some extra money however many years ago. I wonder what it would have been like for their kids if it happened.

The UK version of this was Patrick Allen, who voiced the Protect and Survive public information films. When they were recording Two Tribes, Frankie Goes To Hollywood hired him to deliver the lines “Mine is the last voice that you will ever hear. Do not be alarmed.”

The Truman Show Delusion:

quote:

Since this was to be the highest-tech sailing bout ever, Kevin received a pair of Google Glass. A tool that at the time was lampooned by many in Silicon Valley and still not fully available to the public, the device could be used as a hands-free computer, able to capture video and photos and share the thrilling experience of what it was like to be on board. No one was aware of his experiences with The Show and the Director.

Even Kevin didn’t think much about Google Glass being a potential trigger for his mania.

I was at 6th form college with a girl whose GP was Harold Shipman. We worked out that she was safe through being young and poor.

I also never got to sleep with her despite really wanting to, but that’s not really relevant to the Shipman thing.

There is always the pop-science problem that a lot of these books are simplified for mass audiences, but they are still worth reading. The Psychopath is not particularly dumbed down, but it’s a bit of a slog. I can recommend a lot of reading for anyone interested in psychopathy. Skip the DSM, because they’re still pretending psychopathy doesn’t exist.

What did you make of Jon Ronson's The Psychopath Test?

Last year I was scrolling through Youtube when a video caught my eye. I opened it. In the video, a woman read out a text largely derived from a Wikipedia article I wrote five years ago, about an unsolved murder in which the victim's body was dismembered and left in suitcases. She whispered her way through the text because she was doing this as an ASMR.

She paused a couple of times to apologise that the ASMR was so "deathy".

they should just go all in, IMO

When subjecting your victims to unspeakable torture, be sure to use a quality German razor blade from Harry’s dot com! When finished, either wrap the victim in your comfortable Casper mattress or make a healthy and nutritious meal out of them with the ingredients delivered to you by Blue Apron!

I have very fond memories of the "Insomniac" podcast seguing directly from a description of the Genesee River Killer's cannibalism into a Blue Apron advert.

I know if you're offing yourself you're not of sound mind but christ pick a way that has no chance of hurting anyone else. I remember years back a girl purposely hit another car head on to kill herself and survived and I'm pretty sure she killed both occupants of the other vehicle.

Also have to remember that lots of suicides are an impulsive act with little in the way of planning.

Panorama Loop Trail looks a little more north and a lot west, it's further than anyone expected him to be and I don't think any one searched that far. They were searching based on his limited water supplies, and a cell tower ping that put Bill at a certain radius, and it seems he got much much further and not only that, the terrain is very very rough. Whatever happened, it doesn't match the parameters they were using to search. Most of the western search maps had Eureka Peak in their top left corner and Panorama Loop is significantly further north west than that.

https://goo.gl/maps/QsNDZhP8VyvbmWnFA

His car was at Juniper Flats, and he'd written that he wanted to see Quail Mountain. The searchers guessed he might have looked for water in Smith Water Canyon, and you can see there's no easy path to where he was found, it really doesn't gel with any of the information especially considering the heat at that time and the lack of water.

Thanks for that info. You're right that it looks like whatever happened, it wasn't really possible to second-guess what Ewasco was doing.
