But that’s not what is being done? It’s a separate sport divorced from the source material now

I mean, they are children playing on their school team. Not really professionals

Divers frequently go to pressures of 500+ PSI without issues directly from the pressure

Nearly all the issues at that depth are from the physiology of breathing gasses at that pressure

I’m one of those crazy drysuit divers. I’m usually plenty warm on a dive, and seeing a pristine shipwreck at the bottom of the great lakes is pretty awesome

Delta P isn’t a diving term. It’s an occupational safety term

Not fun fact: That’s how I became lactose intolerant

I get the distinct impression being yelled at by his parents are why he was so nervous of speaking in public. It was the case for me as a kid

I know NY Post is a rag, but it’s so disrespectful to their readers to act as if we’re incapable of reading the words “fucking” amd “bastards”

I don’t buy that. I guess we’ll find out who is right later this month

There’s probably diving in your local area. You’d be surprised, but almost everywhere has at least a few good diving spots. Quarries and lakes are common dive spots

I do a lot of diving in the midwest. Water is cold, but otherwise it’s got some good diving. Ship wrecks are especially cool since cold, fresh water will preserve them for an extremely long time. Once you get drysuit certified, the cold water isn’t much of an issue too

It’s really cool how friendly and curious most life is underwater, and being able to move in 3 dimensions will always be amazing to me

It’s not as hard to get into as you’d expect. Right now** is a great time to get into it. There are a lot of instructors right now trying to build hours waiting for the airlines to hire again. You can find higher quality instructors for cheaper than normal

My instructor works for free. He’s just glad to be getting free flight hours. I wouldn’t recommend doing a formal flight school unless you have money to burn. If you’re good at self-study, get Sporty’s or another online course. Few hundred dollars for the ground school. Then rent a plane to do your hours in

**Huge asterisk here due to gas prices being elevated. It’s not too hard to find cheap 100LL/UL, but that window is closing. As long as the war in Iran is ongoing, higher fuel prices will be a concern. That being said, my Cherokee gets 16-20 MPG equivalent

The primary reason not to use ethanol gas is because it’s hydroscopic. It’ll absorb water from the air, and now that water is in your fuel tank. You can always get fuel stabilizer to add in to prevent the ethanol from reacting with water molecules

I have a 7 foot hose with a little hand-operated ball pump for this. Stupid simple mechanics so I never have to worry about it breaking, and no battery to ever worry about being dead

Reading through the bill, they use the term “biological sex” without defining it

What amateurs are writing these laws? Not even defining terms? I get the vagueness of it is the point, but there are a lot of edge cases that will be in limbo from this

So many headlines over the past year are things I remember seeing out of China and Russia over the past decade

Russian politicians claim the same thing about gays. I believe it was in Chechnya

Because that was the deal to be allowed to invest that money without paying taxes

The goal, at a societal level, is the incentivize keeping it in a retirement fund

You can always pay yaxes and invest the money in a brokerage account if you don’t want to risk penalties

This happens with every corrupt, right-wing leader

They win at the polls due to morons believing propaganda and culture war bullshit, their approval rating tanks over the next couple years as the country performs poorly

Then the election rolls around and the propaganda campaigns and culture war bullshit makes them vote the same way again

Considering medican tourism from the US places a lot of strain on the Mexican healthcare system, the US really has no business telling Mexico it can’t accept Cuban doctors

Can you expand on what you mean? What level of security do other ISPs provide that Starlink does not?

Isn’t that not a problem since the satellites are in a decaying orbit?

Or is there risk that the orbits will not decay if there are collisions?
