    Ah yes, the classic. Remember when everyone swore the last “unprecedented” slide was the end of the world, and then the hillside just sat there being a hillside for another decade? Nobody wrote a follow-up about that. Permafrost does what permafrost does, and every few years someone finds a new way to make it sound like the apocalypse.
